Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Although Earth Dragon King sounds better, it has already been named in other regions..."

"According to the naming rules of the Pokémon research community, the original discoverer naturally has the right to name it."

Professor Oak explained somewhat helplessly.

"Ah? So the other party is not a newly discovered Pokémon?"

Wang Yao was a little disappointed.

Then his research allowance would be gone...

"Hmm... Although the academic community has conducted research on the Earth Dragon Knot, they are all 'two-section' Earth Dragon Knots..."

"Among the earth dragons you have captured, there is an extremely rare 'three-section form' earth dragon."

“…So it’s still worth studying.”

Professor Oak explained to Wang Yao as if he was telling a tongue twister.

"What do you mean?"

Wang Yao's semi-illiterate mind obviously couldn't understand the doctor's description.

"…Your research allowance is about 5 million, and I can also give you a second work this time."

Dr. Oak put down the measuring cup of instant noodles and introduced it in a way that Wang Yao could understand.

"OK, I understand completely."

Wang Yao understood everything instantly.

"By the way, Ayao, it's almost time for you to take your fossilized pterosaur out for training..."

After talking about Tulong Jiejie, Dr. Oak talked about the other party's fossil pterosaur that had been kept in the research institute to do housework since it was hatched.

"Ah...it's only two months old? Is it okay to be so small?"

Wang Yao scratched his head, puzzled.

"Ancient Pokémon grow very fast. About a week ago, the size of the small fossil pterosaur stopped growing much."

"Although this guy works very hard...he eats too much!"

"...I'm really worried that one day it will get so hungry that it will bite off Xiaozhi's hand."

Professor Oak complained with a frown.

The growing little fossil pterosaur basically eats two-thirds of its body weight in food every day, and this guy is a purely carnivorous Pokémon.

It eats like a starving ghost every day. Even if Xiaozhi, the most professional Flying Pokémon breeder in Zhenzhen New Town, comes, he will be licked naked and sent back.

Of course – slick refers to the greasy little hands that feed the steak.

"Okay, okay... I got it. I'll go to the Pokémon Center on the island and prepare for the exchange."

Wang Yao responded with a guilty conscience.

Fortunately, he had enough dried fish in his bag...

"That's it then - I still have a report to finish..."

Professor Oak picked up the instant noodle measuring cup again and was ready to hang up the phone.

Didi——!

Didi——!

Just then, another contact requested a call.

Wang Yao glanced at the caller's ID and pressed the answer button.

"Ayao, I have received the stones you sent me last time."

"I'm so angry, why do all the good things happen to you? Let me see where Xiao Chenglong is!"

Two voices came from the communication watch at the same time.

"Ok?"

"Ok?"

"Dr. Oak?!"——x3

Then they all reacted in unison and were stunned at the same time.

Because Wang Yao's watch supports four-person calls, the original screen on their video phone was divided into a square.

Professor Oki holding a measuring cup for instant noodles, Wang Yao sitting in the tent, Xiaogang and his younger brother Jiro, and Shizuka holding Psyduck.

Each takes up a quarter of the screen.

"It's Xiao Gang and Shizuka... and Jiro and Psyduck, how are you guys?"

Professor Oak stopped the action of hanging up the phone and greeted him naturally.

Then he continued to slurp noodles as if no one was around.

After all, these two are familiar faces. He once stayed at Xiaogang's house, drank happily with his father, and competed in Pokémon Senryu.

But whether it's his drinking capacity or Chuanliu's lyric writing skills, he's better!

After learning about the Armored Rhino incident, Dr. Oak also had a very good impression of Wang Yao's girlfriend.

"Qua~"

It was the Psyduck in Shizuka's arms that first broke the awkwardness.

He raised his duck claws and greeted the trainer he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Hello, Doctor!"

"Qua~"

Shizuka's characteristic was switched to a steam engine. She blushed, and with a head full of steam, she pressed down on Psyduck's head and bowed her head.

"Dr. Oak, your research on fossil pterosaurs has been really helpful."

Xiaogang also became more serious and happened to mention the matter of the fossil pterosaur.

"The several newly hatched fossil pterosaurs in my gym have all adapted very well to modern life according to the breeding methods you published."

Because the incubation equipment at Xiaogang's home was relatively poor, the fossil pterosaur eggs that were laid in the same batch as Wang Yao's did not hatch until a few days ago.

After the unexpected incident of "grandfather and grandson looking for dragons all night", Xiaogang and Wu Neng prepared a solid incubator in advance.

Two giant rock snakes, one large and one small, were arranged as caretakers, and the newly born fossil pterosaur was easily tamed by them.

Afterwards, they were bred according to the feeding method arranged in the "Standardized Breeding Guide for Second-Generation Atavistic Fossil Pterosaurs" published by Dr. Oak, and the growth of the little fossil pterosaurs was very gratifying.

"Oh, that's great news. Once the rapid growth period is over, you can bring the fossilized pterosaurs here if you have time. I want to evaluate their average size and strength."

Although he was in a hurry to send this foodie away, Dr. Oak was actually quite interested in the research on fossil pterosaurs.

It’s just that a single sample can provide too little data feedback, and the adult fossil pterosaur can no longer support research.

"Okay, Doctor."

Xiaogang agreed immediately.

"Okay, Ayao, you guys go ahead and chat first. I'm going to hang up now."

Dr. Oak does have a report to write, otherwise he wouldn't be so busy that he has to cook instant noodles for himself in the research institute.

"Yeah, I'll go to the Pokémon Center after breakfast."

Wang Yao crawled out of the tent, revealing the elegant lakeside scenery in the background.

"Oh~ the scenery over there is very nice, where are you traveling now?"

Professor Oak blinked and said enviously.

"The fourth island - Kona's home is right behind me."

Wang Yao turned around holding his watch, revealing a small house with a purple roof on the hillside.

At this moment... the back of a woman wearing a straw hat appeared in the picture, and she opened the door with a key in her hand.

Before opening the door, the other party turned his head curiously to look at the backpackers camping on the hillside in front of his house.

"Ah - Ayao? The Kona you mentioned..."

Xiaogang pointed behind Wang Yao with a trembling voice.

"Hmm? Who else could it be? It's Kona, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. And I heard that she will be returning home in the next few days."

Wang Yao said seriously.

He had just walked out of the tent and didn't notice the movement behind him.

"You actually camped in front of the Four Heavenly Kings Kona's house... and... and..."

Shizuka asked, blushing and covering her head.

Camping in front of a woman who lives alone, and timing her return home...

What kind of perverted behavior is this!

If there hadn't been an outsider in the communication interface, she would have started cursing by now.

And why is it that this guy is the one who did the stupid thing, but he feels ashamed...

"What's wrong? The air here is very good. I slept all night and I feel a lot more relaxed."

Wang Yao patted his shoulder. He was telling the truth.

When it comes to choosing a campsite, he's a professional!
