Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"——I never thought that you, Yao, could have such an experience!"

After lunch, Wang Yao was talking to Professor Oak on the video phone at the Pokémon Center in Crimson City.

In the scene, Professor Oak listened to Wang Yao's story with an incredible look on his face as he told about his heroic feat of saving hundreds of Pokémon in the wilderness area from the hunter organization alone!

"…The hunters have been handed over to Miss Junsha of Light Red City for trial!"

"...But these Pokémon have been abused by hunters for a long time and are no longer able to adapt to life in the wild...So I hope to temporarily leave them with you, Doctor!"

Wang Yao made the request with a worried look on his face.

"Of course no problem... Just teleport over here! I will take good care of them!"

Professor Oak naturally would not refuse such a reasonable request. Instead, he appreciated Wang Yao's attitude of caring about Pokémon even more.

"And these are Pokémon that are rarely seen in normal times... I also want to thank you, Yao, for coming to ask for my help!"

In addition to his usual sympathy for Pokémon abused by bad guys, Professor Oak is also very interested in the types of Pokémon sent by Wang Yao.

Neither Ursagi nor Dalupy are wild Pokémon that can be found everywhere...not to mention there is also a Bombyx that is even rarer to see in the Kanto region.

"By the way, Professor Oak! I also picked up a special pendant this time..."

After getting a free Pokémon foster placement from Professor Oak, Wang Yao took out the water drop pendant from his bag and displayed it in the video.

"In addition to being able to lift one's spirits, wearing it can also give one a sense of the sea..."

Wang Yao briefly introduced the magic of the pendant.

"Hmm, this shape seems familiar to me... the sea?"

"——It looks like the [Mysterious Water Drops] that are unique to the Whirlpool Islands..."

Professor Oak leaned closer to the screen and took a look. After thinking for a while, he spoke uncertainly.

"Wait a moment, I'll check the information."

Professor Oak walked to the computer and searched for information about the mysterious water drops.

"…Found it! But the color seems a little different?"

Da Mu turned the direction of the camera so that Wang Yao could also see the image on the computer screen.

"In the Whirlpool Islands Tournament, which is held every three years, the prize for the final winner is a [Mysterious Water Drop]... This is a very rare item!"

"But the inside of a normal mysterious water drop should be light blue, or nearly transparent liquid... When a Pokémon carries it, it has the strange effect of enhancing the power of its water-attribute skills!"

Professor Oak introduced.

"Although yours is similar in shape, the liquid inside looks like the color of the starry sky..."

"And according to the records, the mysterious water drops don't have the effect of boosting spirits..."

Although they looked similar in appearance, the difference in the liquid inside was so obvious that Professor Oak would definitely notice it.

Not to mention it has an extra refreshing effect.

"Ayao, where did you find the pendant?"

Dr. Oak asked curiously.

"I found it while camping in the forest near Crimson City and taking a walk after dinner..."

"…There was a wild rain-winged moth using the pendant as a toy at the time, but it was scared away by the hunter and left there."

Wang Yao said with an innocent look on his face.

"Since it has a similar aura to the sea, it should not be an ordinary craft..."

Professor Oak did not doubt Wang Yao's words at all... It was impossible for Wang Yao, who had rescued so many Pokémon from Pokémon hunters, to steal a Rainwing Moth's toy, right?

"Anyway... you can't tell the actual use of this thing over a video call. If you have time to come to Pallet Town, bring it to me for identification!"

Although Professor Oak's main job is to study Pokémon, he is also interested in some special props.

In the animation, Xiaozhi and his friends ran errands for hundreds of episodes just for a mysterious GS ball.

"Okay...I'll go when I have time."

Wang Yao didn't dwell on it too much. There were so many unsolved mysteries in the Pokémon world... What was a pendant?

After teleporting all the Pokémon to the Oak Laboratory, Wang Yao did not keep these hunter Pokémon directly.

These Pokémon are still wary of humans, especially the Ursa Minaj, who obviously has a weak determination to join the army!

It's a good opportunity to ask Political Commissar Oak to help talk to a few newly recruited Pokémon and eliminate their negative emotions of being afraid of fighting and lying down.

……

After finishing the call with Professor Oak, Wang Yao also checked in at the Pokémon Center.

"Shizumi-chan! Have all the injured Pokémon recovered?"

Wang Yao greeted the busy Joy from Light Red City.

"…Thanks to you, Ayao, for showing up in time!"

Joy Jingmei had just sent away a batch of Pokémon that were in better condition.

They will be released back into the alliance's conservation areas by Junsha according to their species.

"Most Pokémon are just a little malnourished, and a few Pokémon's wounds are a little infected, but they have recovered a lot after being cared for by Chandler!"

Joey said with some relief.

Hunter organizations catch Pokémon to sell for money... Naturally, they can only sell them at a high price if they are of good quality. They can't deliberately let the Pokémon they have worked so hard to catch starve to death or die of illness...

Therefore, most of the rescued Pokémon were just a little depressed.

Only a few Pokémon are intentionally whipped in front of other Pokémon as a warning for trying to escape.

But only the most common wild Pokémon like Caterpillar and Grasshopper are singled out by hunters to serve as a warning to others.

"I'm glad the Pokémon are okay...you and Chandler have worked hard!"

Wang Yao never mentioned his achievements and fame; what he cared about most was the safety of the Pokémon.

"It's not hard...we're just doing our jobs!"

Qiao Yi looked at Wang Yao quietly and admiringly.

"The job at the Pokémon Center is already very respectable~"

Wang Yao said casually.

"In that case - I'll go back to my room and sleep!"

Wang Yao yawned. He didn't get much rest last night and needed to make up for the sleep in the afternoon.

The check-in was completed, and after saying hello to Joey, Wang Yao went straight back to his room.

"What an admirable trainer... He is not at all like what my sister said..."

After Wang Yao left, Joey returned to the ward and whispered quietly while looking at the many Pokémon that were receiving treatment.

"Lucky?"

After taking the sandrat's temperature, Jigglypuff waved to Joey Jingmei who was standing at the door of the ward.

“Oh… here it comes!”

Joey Jingmei, who had been a little distracted, perked up, pushed the nursing cart into the ward, and became busy again!
