Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"The magma is catching up!"

Xiaogang felt his back suddenly getting hot, and when he turned around, he saw that high-temperature magma with red light had poured into the tunnel dug by Onix.

Due to the huge pressure underground, the speed at which the magma rises is no slower than the speed at which the giant rock snake digs the hole.

"Giant Claw Crab!"

Fortunately, Wang Yao was prepared.

The giant crab spits out water, cooling and solidifying the nearby magma.

The solidified magma acts like a plug, blocking the advance of the flowing magma below.

But within a few seconds, more magma poured into the passage, swallowed up the solidified magma, and continued to chase after the Onix.

"Gurg!"

Puff, puff, puff! Puff, puff, puff!

The giant crab had to use water guns to cool the magma.

But before in the underground space, in order to seal the cracks, it had consumed most of the water stored in its body!

Before long, the amount of water stored in its body was no longer enough, and the water column it sprayed out became smaller and smaller.

"Thank you for your hard work...Giant Claw Crab!"

Wang Yao took back the somewhat listless giant crab and released the octopus bucket to take over the task of blocking the magma.

Thanks to the suction cups on its tentacles, the Octopus Barrel can fix its body to Onix very well.

"Ugh——!"

"Ugh——!"

Like a mobile turret, the octopus barrel spewed out streams of water, quickly filling the solidified magma that was being eroded.

Compared to the brute force of the giant crab, the octopus bucket is more proficient in long-range attacks, and the water flow compressed through its mouth is also more powerful.

"Hold on a little longer! Onix!"

Continuous digging consumes a lot of physical energy, and in this situation, Xiaogang cannot stop to switch Pokémon.

"Woooooooooo!"

The rock snake did not stop at all, but continued to drill the soil in front of it and split the rocks blocking its way with the sharp horns on its head.

finally……

Crack! Bang!

A hole appeared in the ground at the foot of Mount Miacha, and the huge body of the Rock Snake jumped out of it, flew a few meters, and then fell to the ground with a bang.

The hole in the ground also spewed out large amounts of magma, but after the pressure of the magma was released, the part exposed on the surface only flowed slowly.

"Onix...thank you for your hard work."

Xiaogang rolled off Onix, stood up by holding Onix's body, and looked at the exhausted Onix, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"Come back and have a good rest first..."

After taking back Onix, Xiaogang helped up Wang Yao who had also fallen to the ground.

"Cough cough..."

Wang Yao had inhaled too much poisonous gas before, and his lungs were still feeling a burning pain.

"We...now..."

Bang-!

Bang——! Bang——!

Before Wang Yao could finish his words, several caves exploded near the hillside of Mount Miacha, and huge rock snakes were engulfed in the hot magma and erupted together!

"The magma beneath Mount Miacha has been awakened!"

Xiaogang looked at this scene and said with some concern.

Wang Yao raised his head, carefully observed the eruption trend of the magma, and shook his head.

"It was just a momentary release of pressure... Maybe that lava steel snake is still angry."

From the cave where the magma was spewing out, the magma was only flowing slowly, and there were signs that it was solidifying and turning black.

Obviously, once the underground pressure is released, these holes will be sealed again.

"Let's go... Owl is badly injured, and our other Pokémon need treatment too!"

Wang Yao had no time to think about other things. The most important thing now was to treat the wounded.

"Pallet Town is nearby... There is Professor Oak's research institute there, we can go there to seek help."

Professor Oak is the most famous Pokémon research expert in the Kanto League.

As the gym leader of Pitch Black City, Xiaogang accepts challenges from new trainers in Pallet Town every year, so he naturally knows about Professor Oak's research institute here.

"Professor Oak? Well... let's act quickly!"

Wang Yao thought about it and realized that he had never shown his face to this research expert from the Guandu Alliance...

Since someone has already taken the blame for the case, the previous wanted order was only publicized for a short time, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Miacha Mountain is only a dozen kilometers away from Pallet Town. In order to save time, the two of them rode on the giant Onix and quickly passed through the large forest area.

It was not until they got close to Pallet Town that they took back Onix and trotted all the way to the town.

"That building on the hillside is Professor Oak's research institute."

Xiaogang pointed his finger and said to Wang Yao.

"Ok?"

Wang Yao originally wanted to see where the protagonist's home was, but after hearing Xiaogang's introduction, he looked in the direction of his finger.

It was a small hill that looked lush and green, located in the southeast corner of Pallet Town.

A yellow-walled building with a red-roofed semi-dome and a wind turbine tower sits at the top of the hill, connected to the gate at the foot of the mountain by a long sloping passage.

There is also a clear river surrounding the bottom of the hill, with a simple wooden bridge over the river.

"Let's go... Come to think of it, I haven't visited Professor Oak yet... I hope he's as kind and gentle in person as he is on TV."

Xiao Gang said with some trepidation in his heart.

"I don't think there will be any difference..."

Wang Yao was the first to run towards the wooden bridge.

"Wait for me!"

Xiaogang followed closely behind.

Just as the two were about to cross the intersection and head towards the wooden bridge, a short figure suddenly jumped out from behind a house near the intersection!

boom--!

Because the opponent's speed was too fast, he crashed directly into Wang Yao.

“Ouch…it hurts!”

Because of the size difference, Wang Yao was only knocked back, while the little brat who rushed out fell backwards on his butt!

"How are you...are you okay!?"

Xiaogang behind him stepped forward and helped up the child who suddenly ran out.

"I'm fine!"

The child raised his head, revealing a big round face with a smile, looking a little silly.

"What's your name?"

Looking at the little kid in front of him, Wang Yao had a strange feeling in his heart.

"Me? My name is Xiaozhi!"

"I ran too fast just now - I'm so sorry, uncle!"

Xiaozhi, who is only nine years old this year, dusted off his butt and said apologetically.

"...Uncle?"

Wang Yao was stunned.

It seems that this body of his is only seventeen years old?

But looking at Xiaozhi who is not even as tall as my chest...

After all, the other party will stop growing next year... He is just an uncle, so he doesn't care.

"Oh - that's right! Xiao Mao is still waiting for me!"

"I'm leaving first!"

Xiaozhi stood up and ran to the other end of the town in a hurry before he had time to chat with Wang Yao and the others.

"What an impatient child..."

Xiaogang sighed as he watched the other person running away.

"Hey... Xiao Mao? This name seems familiar..."

Xiaogang always felt that he had heard this name somewhere.

"That's not important... The most important thing is for us to visit Professor Oak first!"

Wang Yao interrupted Xiaogang's recollections in time.
