Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

Katie was held up by Junsha under the arms and sniffed the scent on the windowsill.

"Sure enough! There is a smell here that belongs to someone else who is not the director or us!"

Junsha put down the Katie and said with certainty.

"But there was no smell on the floor of the room... So the criminal stole the gold dentures without even touching the ground?"

Wang Yao scratched his head and said.

"No feet on the ground?"

"It's flying. That requires a Pokémon that can fly, and it has to be small... and it has to flap its wings without making any sound, otherwise it will easily wake up the director..."

Junsha speculated along the lines of Wang Yao's thoughts.

The window is not very big, and the sleeping quality of the elderly is impaired... they are easily awakened by the slightest noise.

"…I see that Nimen seems to have caused some trouble?"

Director Baoba went upstairs. He just heard Junsha calling Houndoo to her side. This should be some important clue.

"It's like this... Director..."

Junsha told Director Baoba about Wang Yao and her own guess.

"Gray walks quietly... "

The headmaster suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"Director? Have you thought of any suspects?"

Junsha asked sharply.

"It's this kind of... well, it's the same as..."

Director Baoba explained slowly in a vague voice.

……

"Ninja Village - what is that place?"

Wang Yao only knew that the gym leader of Qianhong City, Aju, had a fighting style very similar to that of a ninja...or rather, he was a ninja.

But I have never heard of any ninja village in Qianhong City.

"This happened more than ten years ago... before the Wild Wild Area of ​​​​Crimson City was established..."

Although Junsha had never seen the Ninja Village in person, as an official of Qianhong City, she had learned some information about it.

It turns out that there is a small ninja village with a long history on the original site of the wild wilderness area.

But with the progress of urbanization... people in the village gradually moved to the city where life is more convenient...

The residents of the Ninja Village have tamed some wild Pokémon as partners in using Ninjutsu...

This kind of taming is different from the traditional Pokémon trainers. It is not about taming the Pokémons, but about using their power when needed.

Therefore, the ninjas did not take these semi-tamed wild Pokémon away with them.

However, because they are adapted to human domestication, these Pokémon choose to continue living in the village even after the residents of the Ninja Village leave.

The so-called Ninja Village gradually disappeared... and the uninhabited village that was left behind became a special [Pokémon Ninja Village].

Later, the Alliance built a wild wilderness area on this land for breeding Pokémon, and introduced a large number of Pokémon contained in other areas...

These include Pokémon rescued from hunter organizations, orphaned Pokémon that lost their parents in the wild... and Pokémon abandoned by trainers...

In short, it has become a Pokémon nursery with a rich population!

The problem arises at this time... Most of the Pokémon remaining in that ninja village are ferocious poisonous insects and snakes... They are often predators in the ecosystem.

The number of predators would be kept low by the number of prey in nature...

But after the Alliance took the initiative to introduce a large number of foreign Pokémon... the increase in food allowed them to begin to multiply rapidly.

The appearance of too many predators is not conducive to the recovery of the Pokémon population!

Director Baobab soon realized this problem and moved most of the Pokémon in the Ninja Village away, leaving only a very small number.

After all, the number of Pokémon in the wild area does not need to rely on the food chain... but is controlled by the trainers.

For example, Xiaozhi's thirty Kentaro...

But, just a week ago... Baoba heard from his good friend Aju that he had said something about his daughter...

At that time, Aju looked very distressed, saying that her nine-year-old daughter Aju had heard about the abandoned ninja village from somewhere...

He has been clamoring to help the Ninja Village Pokémon who were forced to leave their homes to return home...

And I think that the [Pokémon Village] made up of a group of old-time ninja companions is...very cool!

Okay - that does sound pretty cool.

But that's not the point... The point is that Axing pinned the blame of breaking up the Pokémon Village on Director Baobab.

He also threatened to "seek justice" for the Pokémon of the Ninja Village!

And Aju's family are all inheritors of Iga-ryu ninjutsu...Axing is naturally no exception.

Although she is still a ninja apprentice, Xing already has her own ninja partner...

It was a small Zubat that had just hatched for two months.

……

So...half an hour later, in the Crimson Gym.

"——I'm so sorry!"

Ah Jiqiang held his daughter's head down and made her kneel down in the front hall of the dojo to apologize for her mistakes.

"It's all my fault for not disciplining you properly..."

Aju herself is a very cold person, but as long as it involves her daughter... her personality becomes a little broken.

“That’s not the case—!”

Ah Xing's little head was pressed to the ground, but she still refused to accept the defeat.

"It was the director who drove away the Pokémon from the Ninja Village!"

"——I want to help them rebuild the ninja village!"

"..."

If Ah Xing really has ninja blood... Wang Yao estimated that her shout would at least open three magatama.

"Anyway... about the dentures..."

Junsha was also a bit frustrated at this time... She originally thought that the target was the denture thief... but she didn't expect it was just a child's prank.

"A true ninja won't surrender!"

Ah Xing yelled with his head pressed against the floor.

"It must have been abandoned in some corner by Zubat..."

Ah Ju speculated helplessly.

He saw his daughter taking the Zubat out yesterday evening, and when she came back at night, she looked sneaky, with mud on her feet...

When asked the reason, A Xing stammered and said that he went to the park with Zubat to practice flying ninjutsu and lost track of time.

Now that I think about it, I should have taken Zubat to steal the dentures...

It's more than ten kilometers from the gym to the director's house... I guess Zubat carried her part of the way.

"I still need to educate my daughter again... Officer Junsha, and Mr. Ayao, I'll ask you to take the Zubats and look for the lost dentures..."

Aju took out her daughter's Poké Ball, released the Zubat and gave it a few instructions... asking it to lead Wang Yao and Junsha to find the dentures that were stolen yesterday.

“Haw—!”

Because it had just hatched from the egg not long ago, Ah Xing's Zubat was less than half a meter long.
