Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Mount Yuejian is so large... How are we going to find it?"

The next morning, the four members of the [Moon Viewing Mountain Expedition Team] began their official exploration!

Wang Yao had put on a miner's helmet and carried a pickaxe on his shoulders.

Guangshu and Shi also followed Wang Yao, one holding a shovel and the other holding a kerosene lamp.

"Well... I think we can explore slowly through the location of the geological fault..."

Li Ke pushed his glasses and told a few people his thoughts.

"That's it?"

Wang Yao looked at Li Ke in disbelief.

"I thought you had some measuring tools in that briefcase!"

"Aren't you a scientist? Don't you have a radar with a screen and a detector that beeps when you get close to a treasure?"

Wang Yao questioned Li Ke's professionalism.

"There's no such thing, right!?"

"Scientists can't do everything! And - I'm a researcher at the museum, not an inventor!"

Li Ke refuted Wang Yao's strange idea.

"Ah—no?"

Guangshu and Shi were shocked at the same time.

"But in [Light Warrior - Gangdam]! Scientists used a detector to discover the location of the underground monster!"

"That's right! Then [Seven Gangdam] used the dynamic light wave and pierced through the earth's crust with one strike! Successfully defeated the monster!"

Hiroki and Ishiya vividly depicted the plots of the animations they had seen before.

"That's all fake! How can such technology exist in reality?"

A few drops of cold sweat appeared on Li Ke's head - do you think scientific research activities are just about fighting monsters?

"Even if there is... it's not something I can produce as a museum researcher!"

"Anyway... find the geological fault first! Then we can gradually deduce where the meteorite fell!"

Li Ke covered his head and emphasized.

"Once we're underground, the chances of discovering a fault zone will be much greater!"

There was no other way. The power of science was not strong enough, so Wang Yao and his team could only follow Li Ke’s clumsy method to search for the underground entrance.

Fortunately, there are many tourists visiting Yuejian Mountain every year. After a while, the few of them wandered along the tunnels with the most traces of human activities.

Soon we found an iron ladder leading to the underground level.

"Why is there a ladder in a place like this?"

Guangshu leaned over to look at the hole under the ladder, but found that it was pitch black underground and he could not see anything clearly.

"Don't forget that Mt. Tsukimi is the famous site for the excavation of moon stones!"

"In addition, there are many fossil enthusiasts who come here to dig for fossils!"

"These ladders were probably built by an excavation team that came here before!"

Wang Yao took out a bundle of ropes and fixed one end to the railing of the ladder.

The other end is fixed to your belt to act as a simple safety rope.

Taking the kerosene lamp handed over by Shi Ye, Wang Yao smoothly descended to the underground floor along the ladder.

"Come out! Little Fire Horse!"

The lighting range of the kerosene lamp is too small, so after landing, I have to rely on the small fire horse for lighting.

The ground on the underground first floor is a little moist, probably because it is close to the underground river.

After untying the rope around his waist, Wang Yao did not take it back, but just let it hang on the ladder.

"Hey - come down! The ladder is very solid... and it's only a dozen meters high!"

Wang Yao raised his head and shouted, asking Li Ke and the others to come down the ladder one by one.

……

Li Ke, who was walking at the end of the team, came down the ladder tremblingly.

Everyone also began to explore the underground level.

Clang! Clang!

The mattock cut a notch in the rock wall.

Li Ke took a magnifying glass and moved closer to take a closer look.

"No... not here."

“It doesn’t look like this place…”

"Judging from the age of the strata... we may have to go even further down."

Li Ke stood up, sighed and said.

"Found it! I found it!"

Guangshu, who was exploring ahead, suddenly exclaimed excitedly.

"What--!"

Li Ke immediately put down the magnifying glass and ran forward.

"I found a can of bug spray that someone else had lost!"

Hiroki happily held up a green spray bottle.

"How's it going? My luck is pretty good, isn't it?"

Hiroki showed off to Ishiya.

"Don't shout out this kind of thing anymore...it's such a waste of joy!"

Li Ke shook his head somewhat dejectedly.

"The caverns are interconnected... Even with lighting, it's hard to find the entrance to the next level."

Wang Yao was holding a mattock and hammering on the stone wall, thinking about countermeasures.

"Looking for the entrance? Furball can do it!"

Ishiya recalled his previous experience of traveling through the mole cave.

"Guangshu, please let Maoqiu come out and help explore the way!"

"Maoqiu has this ability?"

Wang Yao didn't know the details of Shi Ye and his friends' previous journey through the cave.

In fact, he had only seen Maoqiu for the first time yesterday when they had dinner together.

"Of course! Maoqiu is very powerful!"

Hiroki held his head high with pride and threw out the Poké Ball.

"Come out! Furball!"

"—find us a way to the underground caves!"

A red light flashed, and the hairy insect chirped before appearing in front of everyone.

"Dang~dang~"

……

……

“Ding-ding——!”

The big eyes of the fur ball emitted periodic light, guiding everyone to a collapsed rock wall.

"Clang!"

The meaning of Maoqiu is already very clear.

Behind the rock wall is the passage.

"Come out! Armored Tyrannosaurus!"

Wang Yao threw out the Poké Ball of Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The demolition work in the cave will naturally be handed over to the Rock-type Pokémon!

"Roar--!"

The horn of the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex spun at high speed, "Zi-Zi!", quickly breaking the large rocks blocking the way and clearing a passage!

"Thank you for your hard work! Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

After taking back the Tyrannosaurus Rex, the few of them quickly passed through the blocked tunnel.

"Skin……"

A small figure flashed by.

“What is that——!”

Shi Ye immediately reminded several people.

"Little Fire Horse! Spray flames!"

The distance was too far and the opponent's shape could not be seen clearly just by the flames around the little fire horse.

"Hey!!"

Wang Yao ordered the little fire horse to spray a column of fire towards the target, instantly illuminating the entire cave!

"It's Pippi!"

As a researcher, Li Ke is well-informed and recognizes this rare Pokémon.

Pink fur, star-shaped body, black patterns on the tips of the ears, short hands with three toes each, a curly tail and a small tuft of bangs on the head!

This cute appearance reveals an irresistible cuteness!

"Skin--!"

Pippi was frightened by the jet of flame emitted by the little fire horse!

Unable to dodge in time, Pipi had to duck his body instantly, trying to avoid the jet of fire.

"Pee! Pee--!"

Unfortunately, the flames still caught a small tuft of bangs on top of her head.

The frightened Pippi ran back and forth in the cave, dancing and waving his hands!

"Giant Claw! Use Water Gun!"

Wang Yao threw out the Giant Claw Crab's Poké Ball, letting it act as the fire captain.

Zhi——!

A small stream of water quickly hit Pippi's forehead, extinguishing a flame on his bangs.

"Skin……"

Pippi then collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath after surviving a disaster.

Whoosh! Bang!

Just when Pippi let down his guard, a red and white ball accurately hit one of Pippi's cheeks and then bounced off automatically!

"Skin--!"

Pipi, whose fang was almost knocked off, turned into a red light and was taken into the Poké Ball.

beep--!

beep--!

Diddoo!

The Poké Ball shook twice on the ground and then stopped moving.

"what?!"

Before Guangshu and Ishiya could even react, they saw that Pipi had become Wang Yao's Pokémon.

"I say - Brother Yao! Your movements are so skillful!"

Ishiya took back the Nidorino's Poké Ball that he had just held in his hand.

He was still thinking about losing the ball after playing against him!

"I'm sorry... this is what they call "the quick win, the slow lose!"

Wang Yao smiled and walked forward to pick up Pippi's Poké Ball.

Of course, he didn’t use the weapon himself to tame this guy, but the moment Wang Yao saw it... he finally remembered the general plot of Yuejianshan!

Pippi... lots of pippi...

The oversized Moon Stone and the Pipi Tribe in Tsukimiyama.

Although I have completely forgotten all the other details!

But Pippi and Moonstone should be right about this!

So: conquer Pipi = find Pipi settlement = discover super large moonstone = Wang Yao becomes super rich!

After releasing Pipi, Wang Yao discovered that the little guy had been frightened and fainted.

After simple treatment with medicine and sleeping pills, Pippi regained consciousness.

"Skin!"

When Pippi woke up, he was startled by the people crowding around him!

Pipi quickly escaped from the crowd, hid in a corner of the rock wall, and began to tremble.

"Alright, alright! Don't be scared!"

Wang Yao walked forward with Pippi's Poké Ball.

"We're looking for this... but much bigger than this! I hope you can take us there!"

Wang Yao borrowed the Moonstone from Li Ke's collection and showed it to Pippi.

"Pi? Pipi!"

Pipi looked at the Moon Stone in Wang Yao's hand with some curiosity, then jumped up excitedly and took it.

Holding the Moonstone in his hand, Pippi ignored everyone else, turned around and jumped towards the depths of the cave!

"PiPi...shouldn't it evolve directly after coming into contact with the Moon Stone?!"

Li Ke looked at this scene in disbelief.

"Yeah... maybe this Pipi doesn't want to evolve?"

Wang Yao guessed.

"Why--it took the stone and left... Hey! My Moon Stone!"

Li Ke only reacted halfway through his speech!

My Moon Stone was taken away by Pippi!

"——That's my special moonstone that I treasure! Pipi! Give it back to me now!"

Li Ke immediately started chasing after him!

"Haha! Let's catch up too!"

It was exactly the same as the scene in his memory, Wang Yao’s goal was achieved!

Pippi will take them to the location of the tribe!

"Skin--!"

I didn’t expect Pipi to be so fast!

It looks plump, but it actually jumps when it walks!

Like a half-inflated balloon!

"Oh no! Pipi is going to escape!"

Li Ke, who was chasing in the front, suddenly shouted loudly.

Wang Yao quickly ran forward and saw that there was a narrow hole more than half a meter high in front of him!

Pippi lowered his body and crawled in, but Li Ke was blocked outside the cave helplessly.

"Go! Coward! Follow Pippi!"

Wang Yao immediately threw out the Cowardly Bug's Poké Ball.

"Gooji!"

After the cowardly bug landed, it leaped and chased into the narrow hole.

"Monkey monster! You go too!"

"Hum!"

Guangshu's monkey monster is also relatively short, just enough to fit through the cave.

"Nidorino! Chase after him!"

Ishiya planned to let Nidorino get through as well.

Bang-!

"Ni...Nido!"

Nidorino dove headfirst into the small hole, but got stuck firmly at the entrance, unable to move.

"Ah... I forgot! You've evolved!"

Shi Ye scratched his head in embarrassment.

In his impression, Nidorino is still the little Nidorang.

"Ugh……"

Wang Yao shook his head and threw the Poké Ball of Tyrannosaurus Rex again.

"Ironclad Tyrannosaurus! Go expand the cave entrance and rescue Nidorino!"

Fortunately, the cowardly bug and the monkey monster had already caught up, so the few people were not in a hurry.

We just have to wait for the Tyrannosaurus Rex to dig a tunnel, and then we will be able to catch up soon.
