Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Good morning! Miss Junsha!"

At 7:30 in the morning, Wang Yao was able to get up early, which was a rare occasion.

"…Good morning to you too! Catwoman!"

Junsha is always accompanied by her good partner Catwoman.

"Wang!"

The Caterpie sat at Junsha's feet, wagged its tail at Wang Yao, and barked energetically.

"——This is the cake and sandwiches Joey made. Would you like to have some?"

Since he didn't have time to have breakfast in the restaurant, Wang Yao naturally chose to take the food away.

"Uh...thank you, no thanks!"

Junsha smiled politely and raised her hand to refuse.

"Katie and I have already had breakfast..."

"Woof woof——!"

Katie also said that she was not hungry.

"Oh, let's go then... where are we going?"

Wang Yao was just being polite, he didn't really buy an extra one.

"...Director Baoba's home is in the suburbs. Let's go there on a motorcycle!"

Junsha unscrewed a sidecar parked in front of the police station, put on a helmet and got on.

“Hey… This is my first time riding in this car.”

Wang Yao got into the right sidecar with some curiosity.

By the way, pick up the helmet hanging on the windshield and put it on your head.

You know what... this little car looks pretty cute.

The leg room is a bit cramped.

"Wang! Wang Wang Wang!"

Junsha's Katie suddenly barked at Wang Yao a few times in grievance.

"Um... this seat is usually reserved for Caterpillar. Yao, you can sit behind me..."

Junsha said somewhat embarrassedly.

Wang Yao's movements were so smooth that she didn't even have time to explain... the other party had already sat in the sidecar.

"..."

Wang Yao silently walked out of the sidecar, walked around the Baga cart half a circle, and sat behind Junsha.

"Wang~"

With a light leap, Caterpillar jumped into the sidecar, and then sat obediently in its own seat.

"Okay—sit tight!"

Beep!

The motorcycle started, and the large-displacement single-cylinder engine emitted a unique rough running sound.

Step on the gear, release the clutch, and step on the accelerator...all in one go!

The old driver Junsha is about to start!

The city of Crimson is famous for its wild wilderness and traditional ninja culture, so it is not too urbanized...

Since the number of private cars is not high and there are not many pedestrians on the streets at this time.

So Junsha rode the tricycle, carrying Wang Yao and Cati, and sped north along the main road of the city, encountering almost no obstacles.

It only took them ten minutes to arrive at an independent two-story house near the outskirts of the city.

——Bah!

"We're here! This is the director's home!"

Junsha's tone seemed particularly excited.

It has been a long time since she had such a great time driving in the city!

"..."

Wang Yao released his hands from Junsha's waist and got out of the back seat.

The road was straight all the way, so the bumps were not too exaggerated, but Junsha's driving style seemed a bit particularly aggressive.

Of course...it could also be that he had never ridden this type of sidecar before.

……

Ding dong——!

Junsha rang the doorbell.

"——Please wait for a moment!"

A somewhat vague voice came from inside the house.

After about a minute, Wang Yao heard the sound of slippers stepping on the wooden floor in the house.

Click!

The door was opened from the inside.

A short, fat old man with white hair appeared behind the door.

"Director! This is... Ah! Director, what happened to your teeth?"

Junsha was about to introduce Wang Yao to Director Baoba, but when she looked up, she saw that the other party was pouting and it seemed that all his teeth were gone!

"It's you! Um, I was just looking for my fake one...but I don't know where I lost it..."

Director Baoba's speech was a little unclear...apparently due to the lack of dentures.

"What! A thief actually stole your golden dentures?!"

"This is a major theft!"

Junsha's eyes suddenly became sharp!

Those gold dentures are the principal’s most conspicuous feature. They must have been targeted by a thief and stolen!

"Oh...it doesn't matter! It's just that the little thing is lying in the corner of the room!"

The headmaster explained while mumbling, but because of the bleed in his voice... it was a little hard to hear clearly.

The dentures just suddenly became missing this morning, and Director Baoba didn't take it seriously.

Maybe I just accidentally put it in a corner of the room before going to bed last night.

"Then let us help you find your gold dentures!"

Although it is not certain whether it is a theft case, Junsha naturally wants to help when citizens are in trouble.

"Oh, by the way... Director, let me introduce you - this is A Yao. Yesterday, he captured an entire poaching gang for the Wild Wilderness Area!"

"Not only is he very strong, he is also a very responsible trainer!"

Junsha introduced Director Baoba.

"Ou! You are really young and capable!"

Director Baoba exclaimed with admiration.

Although he had long since retired to the second line, the real work had been handed over to his administrator, Mr. Caesar...

But nominally, the wild wilderness area of ​​​​Qianhong City is still the property managed by Baoba.

[Note: Wild Wild Area, Hunting Zone, Jungle Village, Grassy Area, Pokémon Recreation Center, Safari Park, Wild Park... These are all different versions of translations... The basic translation in China is Wild Wild Area, and the Japanese version is generally called Hunting Zone. ]

"Ayao, I'm afraid that the director is unable to teach secret skills in his current condition..."

Junsha turned her head and spoke to Wang Yao in a low voice with a hint of apology.

Of course, teaching Pokémon skills in real life is not as easy as just throwing a disc over like in the game...it requires a combination of video explanations or on-site teaching.

Just like the skill disc that Wang Yao won in the lottery in Dead Leaf City... The main content was just a short video demonstration. In order to teach the giant crab to master [Pray for Rain], he called Silver Company's customer service number more than a dozen times.

Thanks to the explanation and guidance of the skill training experts hired by Silver Company over video calls, the giant crab was able to learn the skill of praying for rain during the special training in Dr. Oak's backyard.

Of course... Zapdos can also pray for rain, but in terms of teaching methods, it is definitely not as good as a professional Pokémon breeder.

"It's okay... I'll help look for it too!"

After all, he was asking for help, so Wang Yao naturally would not show any impatience.

I just hope to find the director's dentures as soon as possible... and let the Tyrannosaurus Rex learn super strength.

Hmm - why do I feel like I'm on a mission?

Wang Yao suddenly had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"... That's so long and cool!"

Director Baoba stepped aside and welcomed the two men in.

After Wang Yao and Junsha entered the house, they followed the living habits of Director Baoba and carefully searched the bathroom, dining table, bedroom, windowsill...all places where the dentures might have accidentally fallen...

"Wang..."

Even Katie didn't find any clues.

The two men and the dog searched inside and outside the house for half an hour but still found nothing.

"…How strange! Where did it fall to?"

The master bedroom on the second floor... Junsha supported her chin with one hand, thinking about what other places in the house had not been checked.

“…This window doesn’t seem to be locked.”

Wang Yao walked to the window sill of the bedroom on the second floor, opened the window and looked out.

Junsha walked forward, stood by the window and said, "... Could it be that the thief climbed in through the second-floor window and stole the director's gold dentures?"

"It's possible... After all, according to what the headmaster said, he usually takes off his dentures and places them on the bedside table before going to bed."

Wang Yao followed up with a reasonable guess.

"——Katie Dog!"

Junsha immediately called over the Catwoman who was sniffing out suspicious scents downstairs.
