Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"I want to play too! I want to play too!"

After landing, Shizuka quickly pounced on Wang Yao.

Compared to exploring the shipwreck, flying on the spot is obviously more attractive to the girl.

"You are so naive. You are still far from it!"

"Without profound wisdom and a will as strong as a rock...it is impossible to control this power~"

Wang Yao raised his head, pretended to be cool, and put a finger against Shizuka's forehead and said.

"…wisdom and willpower?"

Shizuka tilted her head.

"If you can write out the complete sentence you just said, I will agree with what you said."

Shizuka folded her arms across her chest and gave Wang Yao a look that showed concern for the illiterate.

"Who are you looking down on?"

Wang Yao's voice instantly rose several degrees.

"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west - I am no longer the same person I was before!"

Wang Yao rolled up his sleeves on the spot, picked up a short branch from the beach, used the sand as paper and the wood as a pen...

We must avenge the previous sea lion incident!

Two minutes later.

"Ahem... Daidai, lend me your hat again."

Wang Yao dropped the stick without changing his expression and waved to Daidai.

I swear to God - he can now really write the word "lion".

"Okay~"

Shizuka took the hat happily and was about to put it on her head.

"and many more!"

Wang Yao suddenly stepped forward to stop the other party.

"what happened again?"

Shizuka held the nut shell with a vigilant look on her face, thinking that Wang Yao had changed his mind again.

"Of course we have to take photos to commemorate this important moment - Jigglypuff, come on, come on!"

Wang Yao called the war reporter Jilidan.

"Use the video mode, and make sure to take a beautiful picture of Shizuka-chan later."

Wang Yao touched Dantou with a smile and gave him instructions.

"Lucky!"

Jigglypuff immediately picked up the camera and agreed confidently.

"Okay, go on~"

Wang Yao extended his hand to Shizuka, stepped aside and said.

"Hmph - at least you have some good sense~"

Shizuka turned up her little nose, then faced the camera and put on the nut shell hat with a solemn look.

next second.

A purple halo covered the entire sky.

"——My energy is endless!"

……

"Wow...are you sure you deleted them all?"

Shizuka covered her face with her hands and squatted on the beach, crying.

A brave attempt in exchange for a lifetime of introversion.

She is feeling regretful now.

I have to regret it to the fullest.

"Don't worry, it's all deleted."

Wang Yao patted Shizuka's back and comforted her.

All photos and videos are completely deleted to the Recycle Bin, guaranteed to never appear again.

"And what's there to be embarrassed about~"

"Professor Oak said - it's normal for a girl your age to have some fantasies of conquering the world."

Wang Yao explained in a serious tone.

"What you said... (sob) is... true?"

Shizuka raised her head and asked cautiously.

"Can Professor Oak really lie to me?"

Wang Yao's neck stiffened and he asked back.

Although Dr. Oak did not say this in front of Wang Yao, he did not know whether he had said this behind his back.

Probably there are.

"Well, I have a challenge scheduled for the Trainer Tower today, so we should get going."

Wang Yao pulled Jingxiang up from the ground and looked towards the northern sky.

"Oh……"

Shizuka was interrupted by Wang Yao and seemed to have temporarily forgotten to check the camera memory card herself.

……

Trainer's Tower - A modern tower located at the northernmost tip of the Seventh Island.

Although it only has eight floors, in order to meet the venue requirements for Pokémon battles, the internal structure is designed to be very stable and the space between each floor is also exceptionally wide.

Even flying-type Pokémon can move freely within the tower's space.

"Give me your hand."

Wang Yao jumped off the fossil pterosaur, then reached out to help Shizuka, who was riding a dragon for the first time.

“…I didn’t expect there to be so many people here.”

Shizuka looked at the tower in front of her curiously.

Then he turned his attention to the square in front of the tower, where trainers were gathered in groups of three or four.

"Most of those who can come here to challenge are elite trainers who are passionate about Pokémon battles."

Wang Yao also looked at the other trainers in the square.

Unlike an outsider like Shizuka, Wang Yao's gaze received an instant response.

Several burning gazes met with it.

I felt it... at the moment our eyes met.

The battle between Pokémon trainers has been announced!

“——Maya!”

"—— Ruiyi!"

"Let's fight!" - x2

A young man and woman with very similar faces and hair color stood out from the crowd.

The red and blue Poké Balls floating around them, as well as the faint blue fluorescence in their eyes, all declared that they were also "superpowered people".

"Damn it! They got there first again!"

A young man with flaming red hair and a sturdy build seemed to be a step slower and looked at the two of them with some jealousy.

"Those siblings have supernatural powers. They saw the target 800 meters away. There's no way you can catch up..."

The middle-aged man at the side joked to the red-haired young man.

"Look, I like this welcome ceremony~"

Wang Yao grinned and smiled at Shizuka beside him.

"My name is A Yao, and I'm from Honglian Island."

Wang Yao took off his straw hat and put it on Shizuka's head.

The large straw hat just covered Shizuka's pink hair.

"——She is Shizuka from Golden City." (Shizuka works at the Pokémon Center in Vermilion City, but her home is in Golden City.)

"Eh?"

Shizuka was still a little confused as to why A Yao wanted to introduce her this time.

But the next second, she knew the reason.

"Since there are two of us, let's have a doubles match."

As he spoke, a Poké Ball appeared in Wang Yao's hand.

"As you wish." - x2

Perhaps it’s because people with super powers have telepathic connection, the brother and sister Maya and Ruiyi even speak in sync.

"Dingdu~Dingdu~Da~Dingdu~Da~"

"Maya and Ruiyi, the brother and sister with super powers, are here to challenge us!"

"Go ahead! Natural Bird!"

"It's your turn~ Qilinqi!"

As the ones inviting the fight, the brother and sister took the initiative to throw out the Poké Ball first.

"He is indeed a type that specializes in super powers."

The other party's appearance was so ostentatious that Wang Yao was not surprised by the attributes of their Pokémon.

boom--!

The Poké Ball was thrown, and a petite figure appeared in front of the two.

"Xiaola - don't embarrass yourself in the first battle."

“Meow!”

Xianla crossed his claws, looking eager to try.

“Ehhhh? So sudden—?!”

Shizuka was still in a daze.

"Psychic Pokémon... Should I use Psyduck or Chansey... and Pikachu..."

Shizuka counted on her fingers, thinking.

"Why not try the Swamp King? You haven't fought against it yet, right?"

Wang Yao suggested.

"Swamp King? Can it?"

Shizuka took out the Super Ball containing Swamp King with some doubt.

The Poké Ball swayed gently in her palm, as if encouraging Shizuka to throw it.
