Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Ya~dong~"

A ball of light rose into the sky, and the sunlight in the sky seemed to become even brighter.

Even under artificial sunny conditions, the concrete base takes half a day to solidify.

However, this also gave the construction team time to process wooden boards for laying the bridge deck.

The number of members of the logging team has increased to five, and they are selecting suitable wood in the forest.

It takes quite a bit of time because fruit trees have to be avoided and the felled trees have to be cut into boards of suitable sizes.

"You should go back first. Your mother will come to see you after the earthquake is over."

Wang Yao asked Pidgeot to take Xiao Mi back to the third island first.

"Okay~ Let's go - darling!"

Xiao Mi gave her little brother Tulong a nice name.

"Pidiaodiao~"

Pidgeot grabbed Xiao Mi with one claw and brother Tu Long with the other and brought them back to the bridgehead of the third island.

Sure enough, not only Xiaomi’s mother, but also many islanders gathered at the bridge.

They are discussing how to repair the cable bridge.

After all, the fruit forest is an indispensable and important resource for the Third Island.

……

[Zizi——! Time goes back! ]

……

Not long after the earthquake caused by the collective mobilization of the Tulong brothers ended, some islanders noticed that the cable bridge leading to the island was broken and damaged.

The most active one among them was Wang Yao’s “old acquaintance”.

"Please think of a solution quickly - why did this cable bridge suddenly break?!"

Gangzao was standing at the bridge head with an anxious look on his face, shouting to a middle-aged man dressed as an engineer and wearing a white safety helmet.

His motorcycle is still on the island!

"Oh... this is a bit difficult."

The engineer-looking man was named Wu Zhu, a house architect on the island. He was looking at the damaged bridge deck with a worried look on his face.

He participated in the construction of the cable bridge, so he is quite familiar with its structure.

"Senior Wuzhu, my little Mi is still on the island - is there really no way to repair the rope bridge as soon as possible?"

Xiao Mi's mother was also in the crowd and was very anxious at this time.

Although judging from the time they went out, Xiao Mi should have been picking fruits in the forest when the cable bridge was damaged, how could she feel at ease when Xiao Mi was left alone in the forest during the earthquake?

"Xiao Mi's mom, don't worry... This earthquake is not serious. Xiao Mi will be safe on the island..."

The residents on the island are all familiar with each other. Uncle Wuzhu first said a few words to comfort Xiao Mi's mother, and then began to explain.

"The iron chain sunk to the bottom of the sea is hundreds of meters long... It will take many small boats and water Pokémon to lift it out of the water."

"Also, the bridge pier foundation on the island should have been damaged by the earthquake... Although we don't know the extent of the damage yet, it will take at least three days to cast a new foundation..."

"Plus we have to repave the bridge deck... the entire repair project will take about half a month."

Uncle Wuzhu gave a relatively conservative estimate of the construction period based on his many years of construction experience.

"Huh? It's going to take that long?!"

Gangzao suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

We agreed to pick it up in three days... three days after that and another three days!

If he hadn't been unable to defeat the guy dressed as a tourist, he would have rushed to the island and snatched the motorcycle back...

It's already half a month later than the agreed time! And he has to wait another half a month?!

Are you kidding me - if he waits any longer he will become a good citizen of the island!

"Anyway, let's go get the fishing boats first... while we salvage the iron chain, we'll go to the island and repair the base..."

Uncle Wuzhu, as one of the few architects on the island, took the initiative to take command responsibility and began to assign work.

"My fishing boat is still at the dock. Who has cement?"

After the leader took command, the islanders immediately responded to the call.

"I have one at home - and my sea lion can help to salvage the wire."

A young man with tanned skin and a thin body immediately took action and went home to move cement.

"How can the sea lion have the strength to salvage the iron chain? Let my lobster come to help!"

Another short and fat uncle immediately joked and followed to help.

"My big raccoon can help with the logging!"

"Mariluli and I can also come to help..."

In the Seven Islands Sea, life would obviously be unsustainable without one or two water-type Pokémon to help in the family.

Just when the islanders were mobilized and were planning to work together to repair the cable bridge.

"Eh? Boss, look! The chain is moving! The chain is moving!"

The newly created little brother suddenly pointed at the iron chain that was submerged in the sea and shouted.

"what?!"

The younger brother's words made Gangzou and the islanders stop what they were doing.

Crack, crack…

The iron chains were slowly pulled out of the water section by section, until they were relatively parallel to the other iron chains and then slowly stopped...

"What happened?"

“…Someone on the island is helping to repair the bridge?!”

The islanders immediately started talking about it.

"Are there any adults on the island today?"

Uncle Wuzhu asked loudly to the crowd near the bridge.

“Who could it be…?”

"My husband went out to sea early in the morning..."

"…My boy is helping unload the cargo at the dock."

The residents on the island looked at each other. It seemed that no one else had landed on the island this morning except Xiao Mi.

"Could it be that……"

Gangzao looked at the iron chain that had resurfaced from the sea with some disbelief.

"It's that guy!"

Others may not know, but he waited at the bridgehead for half a month... He was always thinking about the person who stole his motorcycle.

Because there are too many wild Pokémon on the island, the islanders who pick fruit will not choose to stay overnight on the island...

Now the only person on the island capable of repairing the cable bridge should be that guy!

"The iron chain was actually lifted up directly!"

Uncle Wuzhu looked at the four iron chains that had become parallel again with some shock.

"Although there are people helping on the island, we can't just sit there and do nothing - let's go collect some planks and ropes first!"

Uncle Wuzhu commanded.

Although the problem of salvaging the iron cables has been solved, the damaged bridge deck still needs to be repaved.

The hundreds of meters of bridge deck and the wooden planks used are a huge project.

"Takuro - take me to the island in your fishing boat. Although the iron chain has been salvaged, the repair of the base cannot be sloppy!"

Uncle Wuzhu called out to the skinny young man who came at the beginning.

"Okay, I'll go sail now."

Takuro agreed immediately.

"Wait—please take me with you!"

Gozo immediately opened his mouth to request.

"You? Aren't you three going to occupy the third island?"

Takuro looked at Gangzao for a few times and said teasingly.

This group of speed racers from Guandu have always had a hard time with the island residents...

Although they suddenly stopped for some reason some time ago, Takuro has never had a good impression of them.

"I...I am..."

His face turned red and the fat on his cheeks trembled.

Don't be fooled by his ferocious appearance, he is actually just a coward... After hearing what the other party said, Gangzao was too embarrassed to speak again.

"Okay, Takuro—haven't the three of them stopped causing trouble in a while?"

"And he was so eager to help everyone repair the cable bridge just now. Maybe he has turned over a new leaf!"

Seeing that Gangzao was so enthusiastic about repairing the cable bridge, Uncle Wuzhu spoke up to help him out.
