Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

The long-winged gull finally brought good news!

"Gah~"

"Did you see the island?!"

Wang Yao hugged the long-winged gull and spoke with a trembling voice.

"Quack~"

The long-winged gull nodded, stretched out its wings and pointed at Wang Yao, then pointed at the small shed built on the raft behind Wang Yao.

Wang Yao reacted quickly.

"Are there humans and houses on the island?"

"Great!"

Wang Yao rewarded the long-winged gull with some dried fish and let it rest first.

"After five or six days at sea, we are finally heading back to civilization!"

Wang Yao was excited.

Inexplicably traveled to the elf world, inexplicably boarded the Rocket Team's private plane, inexplicably crashed, inexplicably stranded on a deserted island!

Finally—his good days were coming!

Wang Yao released all three elves at once to tow the raft, and then asked the long-winged gulls to fly into the sky frequently to show the way.

The island that the long-winged gull mentioned is very close. If calculated in a straight line, it is only over a hundred kilometers away.

But because the highest point on this island is only about 500 to 600 meters above sea level, Wang Yao's raft traveled only 80 kilometers before he saw an inconspicuous black tip on the sea level in the distance!

"I see! It's right there!"

Wang Yao shouted excitedly. Drifting on the boundless ocean for five days was also a great test for his spirit.

Another three hours passed before Wang Yao's raft approached the island.

Wang Yao took off the jacket with the Team Rocket logo on it, and let Arbok corrode it into rags with his venom before throwing it into the sea.

Fortunately, there were no Rockets logos on other underwear and pants, otherwise Wang Yao would have to tear down the shed and go ashore wearing a grass skirt.

As they were about to reach the shore, Wang Yao abandoned the raft, recalled the other elves, and only kept a giant crab as a mount.

Wang Yao stepped on the giant crab's shell, holding the huge crab claws with one hand, and directed the giant crab to quickly land.

"Hahahaha! Finally! Finally!"

"I, Wang Yao, am back again!"

Wang Yao scooped up the wet sand under his feet and squeezed it hard!

Wang Yao cheered himself up and felt full of strength when he stepped onto the ground.

"Giant Crab, go and drag the raft to the shore and put it away."

Wang Yao did not forget his raft.

After all, there were still some medicines, Poké Balls and other props collected from the wreckage of the plane, as well as some unfinished cans of food.

It has some value, we can't just throw it away.

This island is much larger than the island where Wang Yao crashed before, but Wang Yao did not see any islanders on the side where he landed. He could only see some wooden buildings on the high ground of the island.

I guess humans are mostly active on the other side of the island.

"Pack up everything and we'll go to the other side of the island to look for the islanders here."

Wang Yao commanded the flexible octopus barrel and poisonous jellyfish to weave a net bag with the ropes on the raft and put the props on the raft into it.

Afterwards, Wang Yao released the Arbok, which was more agile on land, and the Long-winged Gull, which could lead the way, and took the fastest route over the mountain.

Because the island was large enough, Wang Yao could clearly see and hear the presence of elves after he entered the woods.

“It’s actually a spiny-tailed insect?”

Wang Yao saw a rare insect-type Pokémon.

Rare is relative to the memory of its predecessor. After all, the household insects in the Kanto region are green caterpillars and unicorn beetles, and there are no stingtail insects.

"Which generation of house bug is this?" Wang Yao frowned.

Come to think of it, the reason I remember this guy is because of its final evolution.

As a domestic insect, it can have two evolutionary forms.

Hunting swallowtail butterflies and poisonous powder moths.

Wang Yao remembered that in the animation, Musashi once had a poisonous powder moth.

Unfortunately, my memory is too old. For the animations I watched in childhood, it is good enough that I can remember a few scenes. The details are naturally not impressive enough.

Wang Yao had no intention of capturing this kind of supporting elf, but if it was a house bird, Wang Yao might consider it.

After all, most house birds can carry people if they are trained well.

Wang Yao's long-winged gull or the evolved large-billed gull are only suitable as messengers or couriers. Their short backs are too difficult to carry people.

That is to say, the toucan can still withstand the size and weight of a child.

Without paying too much attention to the stingtail worm, Wang Yao let the Arbok lead the way.

Although it has not evolved yet, Arbok's strength is already at the level of a predator in front of these ordinary wild Pokémon.

This will prevent most of the elves in the forest from disturbing you.

Wang Yao had good physical strength. The five days at sea were just boring, but there was no shortage of food and water, and he did not go hungry.

As the island was not high, he soon reached the top of the mountain.

There is a lookout-style wooden structure here.

To Wang Yao's surprise, he met islanders here for the first time!

"you are?"

The person who spoke was a strong young man with slightly dark skin.

"My name is A Yao, I'm a trainer who is practicing everywhere. I happened to pass by here to add new partners."

"I landed on the other side of the island and saw a building on the top of the mountain so I came over to take a look."

Wang Yao lied naturally.

"Come out! Octopus barrel!"

After saying that, Wang Yao also released the octopus bucket - compared to the giant crab and the stinging jellyfish, it was smaller in size.

"Oh! It's a rare elf!" The dark-skinned young man was a little surprised and looked curiously at the octopus barrel swinging its tentacles.

"My name is Jianye, and this is Yeli Island. Since you are a rare guest passing by, there is a surf house run by my family on this island. Would you like to come and take a look?" Perhaps it was a professional habit, Jianye was quite enthusiastic.

(This island does not exist in the original work, my cat just made it up.)

Although Jianye is an islander, wild octopuses basically live in the deep sea, and he has never seen them on the shore, so he touched the tentacles of the octopus out of curiosity.

There was a slippery feeling in the palm of my hand.

"Okay, but my money and communication equipment were lost in the battle. Is there any way to contact the outside world on the island?"

Wang Yao asked indirectly.

"Ah? That's a bit troublesome. The island is too small and there is no Pokémon Center. You have to wait for the ferry that comes once every three days to pass by before you can return to the mainland."

Jianye was scratching his head.

"Our Yeli Island is relatively close to Juyuan Island, one of the Seven Islands, and has gained some fame due to word of mouth among surfing enthusiasts. Starting a few years ago, some ferries departing from Vermilion City would pass by here before heading to the Seven Islands."

Jianye explained.

"Seven Islands?! Vermilion City!"

Wang Yao was a little excited. Others might not know what was going on in Kuye City, but didn’t he, Wang Yao, know?

The owner of the Kuye Taoist Temple, Ma Zhishi!

He is a genuine Rocket Team cadre!

The level is much higher than Wang Yao!

However, this world is not a pure comic or animation setting.

For example, in the current Rockets team, there are still seven cadres of the same level as Ma Zhishi! They are called the Eight King Kongs of the Rockets!

At the higher levels, there are three "big bosses" under Sakaki, as well as two Rocket Team commanders code-named "Gold" and "Silver". These are all high-level combat forces of the Rocket Team, and even Wang Yao has never seen them.

However, as the big boss in the open, Boss Sakaki has had many face-to-face exchanges with Wang Yao. He even has the authority to make video calls to Boss Sakaki directly, just like the trio in the anime version.

However, his personal terminal was lost in the plane crash, so he has to wait for the organization to send a new one.

How should I put it... As the leader of a criminal gang, Sakaki actually cares about his subordinates.

"What about the return ferry? Is there one going to Vermilion Leaf City?"

Wang Yao asked hurriedly.

"Of course there is, but the previous ship just left, you have to wait for two more days." Jianye nodded and then reminded.

"It's the ferry to the Island of Gathering Fate. It should arrive tomorrow morning."

"It doesn't matter. I can wait for two more days and then I can contact my family when I get to Kuye City." Wang Yao said casually.

Wang Yao had never heard of the Gathering Island and didn't want to join in the fun.

It is safest to take the ship directly to Vermilion Leaf City!

"Let's go. I'll take you down the mountain first." Jianye turned around and led the way without asking any more questions.

“This lookout will provide better weather observations, and a skilled observer will be able to infer when the best waves will appear!”

Jianye led the way and introduced Wang Yao.

"So I like to come here to take a look, but I don't have any accurate observation experience yet."

Jianye was not angry, he just told the truth.

Speaking of surfing, Wang Yao thought of the surfing Raichu in Alola. Because of their psychic attributes, they can use their tails as skateboards and glide in the air.

Raichu with super powers feels pretty cool, but it’s a pity that I didn’t have the chance to catch one.

Wang Yao also took back the elf and followed Jianye down the mountain.

On the way, Wang Yao lied that he was a fisherman from Honglian Island.

He also invented a cousin and uncle's family in Vermilion City for himself as an orphan.

Not long after, Wang Yao saw the surfing hut run by Jianye's family.

A small wooden hut with a wooden rack on the side displaying various surfboards.

The hut also sells cold drinks and snacks.

However, there are not many guests on the beach now, and most of them are tourists watching the tide on the shore with surfboards, and only a few people go into the water.

Apparently the big wave that Jianye was looking for hadn't appeared for a while.

A middle-aged man with a beard who looked 70% like Jianye was waxing a surfboard outside the cabin.

There was also a plump and kind auntie making tree juice at the snack window.

Obviously these two are Jianye's parents.

"This is A Yao, he's a trainer who came to our Yeli Island riding a water Pokémon!" Jianye introduced his new friend to his parents.

"Oh! No boat option?"

"That's really amazing!"

Jianye's parents looked at Wang Yao in surprise.

"To pursue the dream of becoming a Pokémon Master! This little bit of training is nothing!"

Wang Yao was thick-skinned and accepted it naturally.

“I also took part in the Southern Orange Islands Challenge when I was younger, but unfortunately I didn’t complete the journey.”

Jianye's father is a sturdy middle-aged man with a thick brown beard. He obviously likes surfing. Even in his forties, he is still in good shape.

Wang Yao was not surprised. Most of the residents of the Elf World participated in similar league competitions near their hometowns when they were young. However, most of them returned to their hometowns and continued their lives after participating once. Many people even gave up the path of being a trainer halfway through their journey and chose to do some ordinary jobs.

There are definitely very few people like the protagonist Xiaozhi who challenges every map one by one.

Wang Yao also saw the spirit of Jianye's father.

It was a white sea lion that looked quite old, with a long beard, a calm look and posture, and an elegant temperament.

It had been in the cabin just now, apparently helping the surf house make a "freezer" to store cold drinks.

This island obviously has no electricity. On the sunny beach, the ability to use ice elves to make cold drinks is obviously a unique business method of Jianye's surfing hut.

Wang Yao took a glass of iced tree juice.

The greasy sweet taste spreads on the tip of the tongue, but the refreshing icy taste offsets the greasy sugar.

Wang Yao didn't know what kind of fruit it was, but it tasted really good.

"Ha! Great! It tastes great!"

Wang Yao drank it all in one gulp and even wanted another drink.

However, he had no money to pay, and it was not easy for him to get something for free by relying on the identity of a new friend.

"It tastes good, right? This is a specially formulated compound juice, which is the specialty of our store!" Jianye seemed a little proud after hearing Wang Yao's evaluation.

After successfully moistening his throat, Wang Yao talked about business.

"I hope to stay at your house for two days while I wait for a ferry to Vermilion City. In return - please accept this!"

Wang Yao took out a brand new bottle of high-grade medicine, which was a gift from the captain.

"Is this a healing spray? I don't think I've ever seen such packaging before."

Jianye took it hesitantly and looked at his father.

"Is this a high-grade medicine? It's quite expensive... Dear, it seems we have to treat the little brother well these two days!" After all, Jianye's father had travel experience and was well-informed.

"Look at what you said!" Jianye's mother rolled her eyes at her husband.

In addition to being used on Pokémon, advanced medicine can also be used by humans.

As guests of Yeli Island love surfing, injuries are inevitable, and their surfing hut itself also has some common injury sprays.

However, the quality is obviously not as good as the bottle Wang Yao took out.

……

Jianye's parents would return to the cottage halfway up the mountain to spend the night, while Jianye would stay in the surfing hut on the beach to sleep and watch the store at the same time.

As islanders, Jianye's family was very enthusiastic. After asking Wang Yao's wishes, they prepared a simple bed in the surfing hut that day so that Wang Yao had a place to rest.

In the evening, Jianye's mother made delicious curry rice to entertain the guests from afar.

This was the first time Wang Yao had eaten hot food since traveling through time for half a month!

"tasty!"

"one more bowl!"

Wang Yao is not shy.

"I also want!"

Jianye rarely gets to eat his mother's specialty curry rice.

"Okay~you guys eat more!"

A caring smile appeared on Jianye’s mother’s chubby face.

……

There is no electricity on the island, and the sky suddenly becomes dark after the sun sets below the sea level.

However, because there were still some tourists on the island, there were several bonfires on the beach.

"Ayao, do you want to go to the beach?"

Jianye extended an invitation.

"Of course." Wang Yao nodded.

“Are there any special elves on Yeli Island?”

Now that he is on the island, Wang Yao wants to use the properties of the Sleeping Mushroom to catch more Pokémon at night.

"A special elf?"

Jianye put his hands behind his head and thought for a while.

"I don't know either. The farthest I've been is the Seven Islands. I feel like the number of elves on Yeli Island is much less than that on the Seven Islands."

"But sometimes, huge waves will bring some deep-sea elves, but I don't know them either." Jianye is not a trainer, so he can't name many elves.

Wang Yao asked Jianye to describe the appearance of those elves.

Combined with his experience of playing games and watching animations in his previous life.

I have roughly guessed that there are several types of elves.
