Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"This underground cave is really spectacular!"

After repacking his luggage, Wang Yao set out on his journey to the mole cave early the next morning.

As we went deeper underground, the light became dimmer.

But with the help of the bright flames around the little fire horse, Wang Yao was able to move forward unhindered in the dim underground.

"咴~" The little fire horse stared at the stalactites on the top of the cave curiously.

"This is the magic of nature!"

"Right! Little Fire Horse! You think so too!" Wang Yao looked around in the cave.

In fact, a large part of this cave is made up of naturally formed caves, and the moles just accidentally opened up several levels connected by caves.

"Why do I seem to be unable to see any wild Pokémon?" Wang Yao was a little confused.

Are there no indigenous people in such a natural cave?

"Forget it... It feels good without wild Pokémon coming out to disturb us."

Wang Yao took out a compass and the direction of the arrow on the compass remained stable.

"That hiker got in by mistake and took two days to leave the cave without any preparation... But I'm heading towards Deep Gray City with a plan, so maybe I can get there in half the time!"

The spirit of adventure has not yet passed, and Wang Yao is in a good mood now.

Bang——!

“Ouch—!”

Wang Yao, who was staring at the compass, stepped on something and suddenly slipped!

Because the ground in the cave was uneven, Wang Yao lost his balance and fell to the ground in a mess.

"what happened……"

Wang Yao got up from the ground and looked back, realizing that what tripped him was actually a metal outdoor kettle.

“It seems quite new?”

Wang Yao picked up the kettle and wiped off the dust with his hand.

There is a cute Pokémon sticker on the aluminum alloy shell of the kettle.

"Is it a monkey monster?" The protagonist of the sticker is a Q version monkey monster eating a banana.

Wang Yao frowned. How could this bad thing have fans?

Saying that monkeys are bad...this is not just Wang Yao's opinion!

But the monkey monsters in the entire Kanto region have always had a bad reputation... They are famous for playing tricks on passers-by.

Stealing luggage, snatching food...

The key is that after they provoke you, if you want to seek justice, they will get angry themselves!

...The reputation of the monkey monster is probably equivalent to that of the monkeys on Mount Emei in the previous life.

……

Wang Yao shook it and found that the liquid in the kettle was still almost full.

However, this time he had prepared enough drinking water, so he didn't have to drink water of unknown origin.

"Although I fell, it's not bad to pick up a water bottle for free!"

Wang Yao emptied the water from the kettle and stuffed it into the side pocket of his backpack.

"The discovery of the fallen kettle means that many people have walked this cave route before, right?"

Wang Yao suddenly thought of this.

However, Wang Yao did not care too much about it. Even if he occupied this hidden route, he would not be able to accomplish anything big.

Maybe if he revealed it to Team Rocket, he could get a small reward from the organization...but Wang Yao wasn't that free.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that he calls you “Boss Sakaki” all the time, which sounds nice!

One day, A Yao will also become a big boss.

He might even say to Sakaki: "Old Deng, I heard you have a Mewtwo?"

……

"Ishiya! Where on earth are we now?!"

Hiroki panted and asked for the opinions of his companions.

Because he had been groping forward in the muddy underground for a whole day, his originally green coat was covered with a thick layer of yellow-brown mud.

"It's all your fault! You insisted on catching some underground Pokémon!"

Shi Ye took off the black hat on his head, brushed off the dust on it and complained.

"Can you blame me for this? You came in here with great interest as well!"

Not caring about being dirty and tired, Guangshu sat down on the ground and started arguing with his friend.

They were together when they discovered the underground cave, and they were also together when they decided to explore it. Hiroki certainly didn't think it was his fault.

"——Besides! Who knew that the monkey monster could fall directly into the ground after learning to dig a hole!"

Obviously, Hiroki and Ishiya did not enter this underground cave through conventional means.

"You bastard... I shouldn't have let Nidorino teach your monkey monster how to dig holes!"

Shi Ye sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Then losing the kettle is your fault!"

Shi Ye took out his trump card.

"Hey...wasn't that an accident..." Guangshu finally felt a little guilty.

If the two of them hadn't brought plenty of dry food when they went out, and if they hadn't been able to collect some groundwater that seeped and dripped from the rock walls in the underground caves...they would have lost confidence in seeing the light of day again long ago.

"Fluffy! You should eat something first!"

Guangshu broke a long piece of bread into two halves and handed one piece to Maoqiu who was in charge of exploring the way.

"Fortunately, we have the radar eyes of the fur ball to explore the way!"

There is no light source in the underground cave, but the fur ball's big eyes can emit flickering light at night.

Combined with its own biological radar capabilities, Furball can be said to be a good helper for trainers in exploring the wild.

"Dangdang~"

The call of the fur ball is very cute, which does not match its insect appearance.

"That being said...but why haven't you walked out after so long?!"

Ishiya actually trusts Guangshu's fur ball, but after walking for a whole day and still not seeing the exit, he became a little annoyed.

"Dangdang..."

Maoqiu's cry sounded a little lost. He was already trying hard to explore... but the road ahead in this cave seemed endless.

"Uh...I'm not blaming you, Maoqiu!"

Shi Ye apologized to the depressed Maoqiu in a panic.

Rumble——!

“Wow! What’s going on?!”

Shi Ye suddenly felt a tremor coming from the ground!

"Is it an earthquake!?"

Guangshu was originally sitting on the ground, and now he lay down directly.

"No - it seems like something is hitting the rock wall." Ishiya felt it carefully.

He seemed to be able to hear the sound of "bang bang!" coming from deep in the cave.

"Are there Pokémon fighting?"

Guangshu stood up again.

"Clang!"

The fur ball gave a rapid, warning cry.

“Ding-dang! Ding-dang!!”

"...The ball of fur seems to be asking us to run!" Guangshu said uncertainly.

Rumble——!

boom--!

boom--!

The sound of rock walls colliding became clearer and clearer!

"That's it! Run!" Shi Ye shouted immediately.

"Oh oh! Maoqiu, let's go!" Guangshu followed immediately.

"Fluffy, quickly show us the direction!" Ishiya gave the command instead of Hiroki, the trainer of Fluffy.

“Ding-ding——!”

The fur ball's eyes began to flash, which was an outward manifestation of it using biological radar to detect the surrounding environment.

"They're catching up!" Guangshu could already feel the sudden movement of air in the cave.

"Hurry up! Maoqiu! Find a hiding place for us!" Shi Ye's calm personality made him more organized at critical moments.

"Clang!"

Maoqiu quickly locked onto the target and ran towards a corner on one side of the cave with the two of them.

"Go there quickly!" Shi Ye pulled Guangshu who was lagging behind.

Under the guidance of Maoqiu, the two quickly hid in the corner.

This is a corner of an abandoned tunnel dug by gophers, just enough to hide behind a hard boulder.

"What the hell is going on--!" Hiroki gasped and wanted to ask what was going on.

"Sh-!"

"Don't make any noise!" Shi Ye immediately warned in a low voice.

Guangshu closed his mouth instantly and waited nervously in the darkness.

……

"Beep!"

"Beep! Beep!"

Gophers move quickly underground in groups.

Many little claws dug the ground together, and the rustling sound echoed in the tunnel.

……

"Mmmm..." Guangshu's eyes widened. He had heard this sound before.

"Yes-it's the moles." Hiroki lowered his voice and whispered softly in Ishiya's ear.

"Gophers won't hit the rock walls! - They are running for their lives!" Shi Ye scratched his itchy ears and replied in the same low voice.

boom--!

Boom!Boom!

The shaking of the earth and that banging sound appeared again!

"Roar--!"

A three-meter-tall gray unicorn monster covered with thick armor appeared in the tunnel dug by the mole.

Ishiya and Hiroki, who were standing behind the boulder, just took a quick look and immediately turned their heads away.

Following the direction of the mole, the giant beast roared and continued to stride forward!

With every step, the heavy body would leave a footprint on the ground, making the banging sound that Hiroki and Ishiya had heard before!

……

"Phew—it's safe!"

Shi Ye leaned against a huge rock exhausted, feeling somewhat relieved to have survived the disaster.

"What is that monster!?"

Guangshu hugged the fur ball and asked.

"…If I'm not mistaken! That should be an Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus!"

"——And it's a very large specimen among the Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Shi Ye's tone was somewhat solemn.

"Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus?" Guangshu recalled.

"Oh! I remember now! Mr. Kuriki seemed to have said that the evolution of the Iron Rhinoceros would be the Iron Tyrannosaurus! But I've never seen it!"

Hiroki had only heard relevant introductions in the trainer school before.

"I didn't expect you to pass every class by taking make-up exams! You have such insight."

As the top student sitting next to him, Shi Ye mocked him mercilessly.

"What's the point of you doing well on the test...you're still trapped in a cave with me."

Guangshu doesn’t care whether to take a make-up exam or not, he has already graduated anyway!

"..."

This really made Shi Ye silent.

"Shut up! Let Maoqiu lead us to find a way out!"

Shi did not argue with Guangshu about this, but continued to do his work, hoping to escape from the cave as soon as possible.

……

……

“This stone is quite beautiful…”

Wang Yao was still leisurely strolling in the underground world with Little Fire Horse.

"…Sell it to those stone guys, maybe you can make a lot of money!"

Wang Yao saw a huge colorful stone in a natural cave.

There are probably many different materials deposited on it, forming layers of beautiful patterns.

"Giant Claw Crab! Smash it!"

Wang Yao was very curious whether there was any treasure in this stone.

Like ancient fossils or something.

“Guji——!”

The giant crab's left claw gathered white light and slammed onto the boulder with a bang.

Kaka——!

The huge rock, which was taller than Wang Yao, shattered into pieces on the ground.

"What? It's just sedimentary rock with a special color!"

Wang Yao picked up a few pieces of gravel, looked at them, and threw them away after finding that they were all ordinary.

"Let's go! Little Fire Horse."

Wang Yao sat cross-legged on the thick crab shell of the giant crab and let it follow the little fire horse.

Yes, as a trainer, he has evolved to the point where he can walk without legs.

The ground of the underground cave was bumpy, and there were small puddles from time to time. Wang Yao's two legs were not as stable and swift as the four crab legs of the giant crab.

"Goo-chi?"

As a crustacean, the giant crab can detect ground vibrations through its limbs.

"What's wrong? Giant Claw Crab?"

Wang Yao was curious as to why the giant crab was standing there in a daze.

"Gulp! Gulp~"

The giant crab stretched out one of its claws and pointed at the dark place further ahead that was out of reach of the little fire horse's flames.

"You come back first! Little Fire Horse!"

Wang Yao knew that an enemy had appeared.

Protecting the exploring Ponyta behind him, Wang Yao threw another Poké Ball.

"Come out! Monster Abo!"

Wang Yao quickly stood up from the giant crab and hid behind the two old Guandu generals, feeling very safe immediately.

"Beep!"

A familiar voice appeared.

"Is it a gopher?"

Wang Yao relaxed.

"They're just a bunch of gophers! There's no need to be nervous... Hey! We didn't take your berries this time!"

Wang Yao first patted the giant crab that lied about military intelligence, and then shouted at the gophers running towards him.

"Beep!"

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The moles ignored Wang Yao and quickly bypassed them, passed through the underground cave, and quickly ran towards the place where Wang Yao came in.

"What is this doing?"

Wang Yao watched the moles go away with some curiosity.

The leading three moles were still holding the can of sweets without a lid.

"…Are they the same group of moles from before?!"

Wang Yao asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Goo-chi?"

The giant crab doesn't know either.

"Forget it, ignore them!"

Wang Yao turned away indifferently.

"…So as to avoid any more scams!"

Wang Yao still couldn't forget the can of sweet tea.

boom!boom!

boom!boom!

The sound of regular collisions with the rock wall came from the front.

"Gurg!"

The giant crab immediately raised its big claws and looked alert.

"Crack!"

Arbok also coiled up and stuck out his tongue to detect pheromones in the air.

"This is……"

Wang Yao went deep into the cave with some anticipation.

He is not afraid of any underground monsters!

There is only one thing on Wang Yao's mind now!

——After waiting for so long! Finally the monsters are spawned!

He quickly flipped through the atlas and pointed it at the dark depths of the cave - Wang Yao finally felt like the protagonist!

"Get ready! No matter who's coming! Don't let them escape!"

Rather than losing the battle, Wang Yao was more worried about his opponent escaping!

The person who can create such a commotion might be a powerful one!

"Roar--!"

The monster in the darkness finally reveals its true form!

“This is——!!” Wang Yao’s eyes lit up.

"Ding! Tyrannosaurus! The Drill Pokémon is the evolved form of Rhino."

"——After evolving, it can stand on its hind legs alone. If pierced by its horns, even rocks will be pierced with a hole! It is extremely powerful, and its armor-like skin can withstand the high temperature of magma." The illustrated book in his hand gave an introduction at the same time.

“Wuhu~~”

Wang Yao cheered!

"Finally... mighty! strong! handsome!"

"That's the kind of Pokémon I want to capture! That'll make my journey more meaningful!"

Wang Yao was a little excited when he took out a high-level ball.

"Roar--!"

The Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex has no good temper when facing enemies who prevent it from pursuing the sweet fragrance.

The sharp drill on its head was spinning at high speed, and with heavy steps, the Armored Tyrannosaurus leaned forward and rushed forward quickly!

"You are very motivated - but!"

Even when facing the aggressive Tyrannosaurus Rex, Wang Yao was still able to smile.

"Giant Claw Crab! Let it see your power!"
