Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

I watched as the tiny stone crab, not even as big as a unicorn worm, hollowed out the agate stone in just a few moves and easily repaired the shape of its shell.

Wang Yao felt that this guy seemed quite suitable to help him dig agate here.

As long as you use a special solution to open a window in the agate stone, you can see the quality of the interior.

"Little guy, I'll give you a job to do!"

"Just follow me from now on!"

Wang Yao took out a red and white ball and, while the other party looked puzzled, put it on the new house on his back.

biu——!

The stone crab and its agate house were taken into the ball.

Because it had never seen a Poké Ball, the Stone Crab had no idea what was happening.

But since the other party has given me a beautiful house, it shouldn’t be a bad thing.

Diddoo!

The next second, Wang Yao released the captured Rock Crab back into the Poké Ball.

"Just like this kind of stone, you can collect more of them in your daily life... I will send someone to get them every once in a while."

Wang Yao knocked on the other party's new house and said.

"Whether it's delicious berries or beautiful glass beads, we have as many as you want!"

Wang Yao took out a pomelo and some colorful marbles that children played with from his backpack and placed them in front of the stone crab.

"Hey~"

The stone crab first sniffed the pomelo fruit.

It has a unique sweet taste and is bigger than the oranges we usually eat.

But it still focuses more on those colorful marbles!

"咿~咿!"

The stone crab happily took down the agate house and used its sharp forelimbs to create a storage room in the house.

Then move all the colorful marbles into the new home.

"Then it's a deal!"

Wang Yao held the other person's little paw and shook it up and down.

"Hey~"

The rock crab shook its claws in satisfaction.

At this point, the "Denghuo Island Agate Mining Company" jointly founded by Wang Yao and Shi Juxie was established!

Shi Juxie was responsible for mining the agate mine, and Wang Yao would find someone to transport and sell it.

The money earned from the sale of agate is divided into 30% and 70%.

Thirty percent was paid to the buyers responsible for transporting and selling agate, and seventy percent was Wang Yao’s legal income.

As for the tree fruits and glass marbles that the rock crab liked, Wang Yao would reimburse them with the "nutritional supplements" he applied for from the Tokiwa Gym.

It can be described as killing three birds with one stone!

"The collected agate stones are stored in that cave, and the trading items are tree fruits and beautiful stones~"

"But you have to become stronger, don't let other Pokémon take your things away!"

Wang Yao looked at the young miner and said with some concern.

Although size isn't everything, this guy's small stature is really worrying.

"Eey! Eey!"

The Stone Crab threw a few jabs in the air with "Shua! Shua!" and instantly jumped to a height of more than ten meters!

After landing on the ground with a bang, the rock crab raised its two little claws high, showing its "powerful strength"!

"Okay... maybe you're a stronger rock crab."

Wang Yao scratched his cheek. He didn't feel that the other party's performance was intimidating at all.

Probably only after evolution can this guy become a small boss in the cave.

However, agate is only valuable to humans. In the eyes of Pokémon, it is not as useful as a delicious fruit.

Even for a stone crab, a stone hut is enough. Collecting the extra stones and trading them is considered a good business.

Therefore, even if the fighting power of the Stone Crab is a little weaker, there shouldn't be any trouble in the process of collecting agates.

"correct!"

Wang Yao suddenly remembered that he was here to do “real business”!

"Have you ever seen a large bird with feathers like that?"

"It's called Moltres, and it's a rare Pokémon."

Wang Yao took out a flame bird feather from his backpack and showed it to the stone crab.

"babble?"

The Stone Crab moved closer curiously and stared at Huoyu through the glass cover.

"Hey~"

The Stone Dwelling Crab nodded.

It had indeed seen a large flaming bird come here, but that was about half a year ago.

That was the time when the volcano was most active.

Although the temperature in the crater is also very high, stone crabs themselves prefer to live in dry deserts or mines.

The environment of the crater is still within its adaptability range.

At that time, it was hiding in the sun at a cave entrance far away from the bottom of the pit, and happened to see the Moltres falling from the sky.

The Moltres turned into a ball of flames, smashed the ground at the bottom of the pit, and drilled into the magma underground.

It probably took a few hours to fly out.

After the Moltres flew away, the volcanic magma that had been stirring suddenly calmed down.

"It seems that the flaming bird will indeed appear here..."

"All that's left is to wait patiently."

Wang Yao sighed and took back the Fire Feather.

"By the way, are there any particularly powerful Pokémon in this volcano - ones that are more powerful than those lava snails?"

Wang Yao just saw a group of lazy lava snails in the cave.

This Pokémon does not need to eat or drink, it can become stronger by constantly absorbing the energy of magma.

But their growth rate is much slower than that of ordinary Pokémon, and once the volcano enters a dormant period, the energy they have accumulated will gradually dissipate.

Once they leave the magma environment, they will quickly weaken, so it is difficult for particularly powerful individuals to emerge.

Even if some lava snails have extraordinary talents... for example, their size is much larger than that of their peers.

It's just a decoration. If your body is damaged in battle, you can only absorb the magma again to recover.

At this time, the originally huge body will also shrink.

When Wang Yao lived in the Oak Research Institute, he would occasionally watch some Pokémon science documentaries with Xiaozhi and the others.

As a characteristic Pokémon of volcanic areas, the research on Lava Snail has been very comprehensive.

"babble?"

The Stone Crab raised its head and thought about it.

"Hey~"

Finally he shook his head.

It hadn't encountered any particularly powerful Pokémon in the cave.

In fact, it itself is not a Pokémon born in the volcanic area...

The rock crab originally lived with its companions in a rocky mountain.

But one day, when it was watching a humanoid Pokémon and another humanoid Pokémon throwing rocks at each other on the top of a mountain...

A large-billed gull suddenly appeared and took it into the sky as food!

Fortunately, the opponent couldn't break its stone shell, and couldn't eat the stone together!

Finally the gull could only drop it in the air.

It thus came to Denghuo Mountain by accident.

"No? Never mind. It's just a bonus for Moltres anyway."

Wang Yao didn't really care about this.

He brushed the stone chips off his hands and decided to go back for lunch after a busy morning.

"Well... as a benefit for the first day of joining the team, I'll give you an extra bowl for lunch."

Wang Yao looked down at the stone crab holding the pomelo fruit and slurping the juice, and thought.

This guy can't eat much anyway, so if you give him some benefits now, he will be more motivated to mine in the future.
