Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

After understanding the identities of the two, Wang Yao did not let the Pidgeot and the Toucan bother him any more.

"Come back—Pidgeot!"

Wang Yao shouted towards the Pidgeot that was still confronting the Toucan in the sky.

"Compare--!"

The Pidgeot glared at the Toucan, then flapped its wings and landed beside Wang Yao.

Then he calmly lowered his head and combed his feathers that were messed up in the battle.

"——唷!"

The toucan in the sky also flapped its wings and flew away after leaving a few swear words.

"So this Pokémon has a trainer..."

Kika and Shota looked at each other and instantly understood what had happened.

"My name is Ayao - I'm a trainer who came to visit the Seven Islands."

Wang Yao pulled open the hem of his shirt, revealing a row of Poké Balls on his waist, and introduced them to the two.

"We are the Pokémon rangers here. My name is Shouta and she is Kika!"

After listening to Wang Yao's self-introduction, the young man among the two Pokémon Rangers spoke first.

"Since the trainer is capturing Pokémon, we won't bother him."

The job of a Pokémon ranger is mainly to maintain ecological stability in the area and to prevent natural disasters such as wildfires.

It was similar to Sosuke's previous job as a forest ranger...

"But Yao, you have to be careful not to capture too many Pokémon and destroy the ecological balance of the island."

Shota reminded Wang Yao.

Even if they are captured legally, too many of them will affect the ecological balance of the region, not to mention on an island with poor transportation.

"no problem!"

Wang Yao actually had no intention of taming the Toucan. It was just that the Pidgeot, which was exploring the sky, just couldn't stand the other one.

But he didn't intend to explain so much.

"Goodbye - I wish you all the best on your trip to the Seven Islands~"

After leaving a blessing, the two rangers disappeared back into the forest.

As locals of Nanashima, Shota and Norika have no aversion to foreign tourists and trainers.

After all, the main source of income for the residents of the Seven Islands depends on these foreign tourists.

And because of the scarce resources on the islands, many young people have left the Seven Islands in recent years and moved to the more prosperous Kanto and Hoenn regions.

"What a straightforward and efficient style..."

Wang Yao complained while looking at their backs.

Meeting two Pokémon rangers was just a small episode on the journey.

Before lunch, Wang Yao still managed to cut through the forest where there was no road...

We arrived at the hot spring cave at the northernmost tip of the island.

……

"Haa ...

Wang Yao was lying in the hot spring pool with his upper body naked and a hot towel on his head.

"Of course! The hot springs here are not only a place for vacation, but can also heal injuries sustained in battle!"

The uncle sitting opposite Wang Yao spoke.

It is impossible that Wang Yao is the only one in the hot spring pool at the tourist attraction.

"My name is Katsumi. I came to this island from the Johto region half a year ago to practice."

The uncle named Katsumi has a red band tied on his head even when he is taking a hot spring bath.

Judging from the white training clothes he took off by the pool, the other party seemed to be a fighter who was proficient in karate.

"Haoli!"

Next to Katsumi, there is a muscular Pokémon - Haoli.

"Ayao, a trainer from the Kanto region."

Wang Yao raised his chin towards the giant crab in the next pool, showing his identity as a trainer.

Because a single hot spring pool was too crowded, his Pokémon had to be scattered among the various pools.

"Ayao, right? You seemed to have mentioned Master Xiba's name just now?"

Katsumi asked curiously.

"I met him during my trip. He mentioned the hot springs on Lantern Island."

Wang Yao replied lazily while soaking in the hot spring.

Since this uncle named Katsumi came to Qidao half a year ago, he must have seen Shiba. He was not surprised that the other party would ask this question.

"But that was two or three months ago... At that time, Master Shiba also said that he wanted to go to the Johto region to eat..."

Wang Yao recalled.

"It's the Angry Buns - a specialty from our Kaji Town, the Angry Buns!"

Uncle Katsumi answered immediately, his tone full of pride.

Master Shiba is an idol in the hearts of countless martial artists.

As for Katsumi, the idol’s favorite food is still the specialties from his hometown!

This undoubtedly increased the idol aura of Master Sheba in his eyes.

"Yes, it's called Angry Bun."

Wang Yao agreed, saying that he had actually forgotten a little.

After all, the training during that period was too tiring, and he didn't deliberately remember these unimportant things in his mind.

I can only say that he is worthy of being Master Sheba... He has so many fans here!

Wang Yao just arrived in Qidao, and he met Xiba’s fans for two consecutive days...

"You probably just arrived at the Seven Islands, so you don't know yet - many trainers here followed Master Sheba."

After opening the conversation, Uncle Shenghai also began to introduce some news about the Seven Islands to Wang Yao.

"This is the first island, and it's also the island where Master Sheba spends most of his time... His Pokémon are currently training on the Light Island to the north."

Katsumi stretched a hand out of the hot spring and pointed in the direction of the north.

The Light Island in the north is itself a huge volcano. It is because of the active underground magma that natural hot springs appear here.

Although the volcano is not active now, it takes at least a day and a night to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top, even for experienced climbers.

"Every once in a while, Master Sheba's Pokémon will swim across the sea and come here from the Light Island to relieve their fatigue in the hot springs."

Sheng Hai introduced to Wang Yao.

"Oh?"

Wang Yao perked up a little.

It's been several months, and Master Sheba hasn't returned to Lantern Island yet?

"Is this also why you stay here, uncle?"

Wang Yao asked.

"Hahaha——Of course! But it's not just because of this..."

Uncle Katsumi laughed a few times and continued.

"My Goli is strong enough to evolve again, but it wants to defeat Master Sheba's Abbyron in an unevolved state..."

Katsumi patted Gouri beside him and said.

“That’s why I stayed on the island…”

Abbylon is not the ace Pokémon of Hiba, but its strength is also extraordinary. Hao Li has failed in several previous challenges.

Moreover, with each challenge, Hao Li's performance has improved. It is not a fantasy for him to catch up with Abbylang's strength.

"So that's it..."

Wang Yao also felt that the beast was extraordinary.

The momentum displayed was even stronger than that of the strong men in the moving company.

"By the way - if you, Yao, want to truly appreciate the demeanor of a Nanashima trainer..."

"You need to go to the Trainer's Tower on the seventh island and climb the tower to complete the challenge."

Uncle Sheng Hai, who is an expert on the seven islands, shared a location with Wang Yao.
