Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

Because Xiaogang stuck to Miss Qianhui and refused to leave, Wang Yao also stayed in the Pipi Pavilion area to relax.

……

"How is it? This thing feels even better than Jigglypuff!"

Wang Yao was holding his watch, holding a brand new Pipi in his arms, and was video chatting with Shizuka.

"Are you jealous of me?"

"..."

"So...you called me during work hours just to talk about this kind of thing?"

Shizuka gradually tightened the microphone in her hand.

This guy... I always feel like he deserves a beating.

"Of course there's more - look, I also have a Pixie!"

Wang Yao pulled Picosi, who was still eating fruit beside him, over and took a photo together on the video call.

"Skin?"

Picosi glanced at the screen on his watch curiously.

Isn't this Miss Joy who occasionally comes to give everyone a physical examination?

"PiPi, PicoSi, and Ibrahimovic next door... This cultural center is very popular."

"And I have a free pass. When you have a day off, I can bring you along for a visit."

Wang Yao seemed to have forgotten that Joeys don't have working holidays.

Or maybe he just said that on purpose.

"You are such a complacent guy... you'd better not get caught by me."

Shizuka was now certain... this guy was just showing off on purpose.

boom--!

Beep!

"What a great thing!"

Shizuka hung up the phone angrily.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Shizuka found Jigglypuff who was cleaning up the plates, and she hugged his chubby body and started rubbing it hard.

The short hair on the Jigglypuff Egg was almost rubbed off!

"What Pipi... No way - Jigglypuff is the best!"

Joey whispered while hugging Jigglypuff.

"Lucky!"

Although he didn't know what happened, Jigglypuff still gave a friendly smile.

He stretched out a pair of short hands that had become greasy from cleaning the dishes and hugged Shizuka.

"Lucky~"

Chansey can feel the trainer's love for him.

"Thank you, Jigglypuff~"

After a moment, Shizuka reluctantly let go of the Jigglypuff.

"Lucky~"

Jigglypuff showed his usual happy smile.

"Okay, let me help you clean up the dishes - look at you, your hands are so dirty again..."

When Shizuka looked down, she saw that Jigglypuff had gotten his hands dirty again.

Ever since they met in nursing school, her Chansey had always been a little more clumsy than other Chanseys, but Shizuka had gotten used to it over time.

“——Huh?!!”

Shizuka suddenly reacted.

"…My skirt!"

Shizuka lifted the hem of her skirt with some heartache.

The originally pink nurse's skirt was printed with two conspicuous oil stains.

"Lucky..."

Jigglypuff felt a little embarrassed and tried to help Joey wipe off the oil stains, but ended up adding a few more stains.

"Okay, okay... just be careful next time!"

Shizuka sighed, cleared away the plates for Jellyfish, and led him to wash his hands first.

"Lucky~"

……

Deep inside the venue, beneath the dome that opens only on full-moon nights, a giant moonstone lies quietly on an observation platform covered with new scientific research equipment.

"Dr. Oak, are you also interested in this giant moonstone?"

Li Ke pushed his glasses and asked Professor Oak beside him respectfully.

"You don't have to be so reserved... In the mysterious field of Pokémonology, even I am just an ordinary researcher who has just begun to explore the door."

Professor Oak doesn't put on airs in front of his juniors.

"What you observed - the phenomenon that this Moonstone can transform ordinary stones into Moonstones, can it be replicated?"

Professor Oak asked the key question.

"About this...we counted..."

Li Ke opened the computer records and showed them to Professor Oak.

According to calculations, this giant moonstone was determined to be the core of the original meteorite.

During the subsequent scientific expedition to Yuejian Mountain, some other clues were discovered.

The moonstone deposits in the entire Yuejian Mountain are either meteorite fragments that have been flaked off, or secondary moonstones that have been gradually transformed over thousands of years.

"The transformation speed is usually quite slow... A Moonstone that can reach the minimum evolutionary energy of Pipi will probably need more than three years of transformation."

Li Ke introduced.

"…What about the night of the full moon?"

Professor Oak had already looked at some of the information yesterday.

"When the moon is full... the transformation speed is more than a hundred times faster!"

"The Pipis of Yuejian Mountain are taking this opportunity to carry out the evolutionary ritual."

Li Ke's tone was filled with excitement.

"The moon and the moonstone...these two things should be related."

Professor Oak frowned in thought.

"But why is there such a big difference from usual? Actually, according to the trajectory of the moon, the moon on a full moon night doesn't get any closer."

"And the so-called new moon and full moon are nothing more than the light being blocked by the planets..."

Dr. Oak also has some knowledge of astronomy.

The Pokémon world also has spaceships and space shuttles, and the rocket technology for launching orbital satellites is also very mature.

The progress of exploration of the universe is not behind that of the Earth, and is even further ahead.

"It's really confusing...but it's fun this way!"

"——Are you right?"

Professor Oak scratched his head. He had no idea what to do for the time being.

But we should still maintain an optimistic attitude towards scientific research.

"Ok!"

Li Ke nodded heavily.

"I have decided to devote the rest of my life to these Pipis!"

“Explore the truth about Pipi and the Moonstone! This is a goal worth pursuing for my whole life!”

Li Ke’s ambition is small, but it is big enough!

……

Wang Yao has little desire to touch things, but he can never get enough of them.

"Cute!"

Wang Yao was playing with a young leather baby.

Sometimes I throw it up and down, sometimes I lift it up high to tickle it.

It made the baby laugh continuously.

"Xiao Pi, it would be great if you could regress back~"

Wang Yao felt that Picosi's touch was far inferior to that of Pipi, and even inferior to that of Pibaobao.

And it's too big, so it's not convenient to handle.

"Pico..."

Pixie rolled his eyes at the trainer.

So who was complaining about his own weakness just now?
