Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Xiao Gang! If you don't come over, Master Sheba will leave!"

Wang Yao stood at the entrance of the Pipi Pavilion area and shouted to Xiaogang.

More than half an hour has passed, and this guy is still there: (*￣3￣)╭? Miss Qianhui~

"Wow, wow, wow... Miss Qianhui! I will definitely come back!"

Xiaogang bid farewell to the goddess in tears.

"Isn't your home in Deep Gray City... why are you saying goodbye?"

Wang Yao complained somewhat helplessly.

This guy is going to do this before he leaves... I want to see him every day.

"You don't understand... My love for Miss Qianhui is like a baby and a magnet, inseparable!"

Xiaogang clasped his hands in front of his chest, and his squinting eyes revealed the light of love.

"You two might just be polar opposites. I advise you to stop disturbing other people's work!"

Wang Yao shook his head and ignored this guy who was obviously in unrequited love.

Didn’t you see that Miss Qianhui was pretending to be busy in order to avoid your harassment?

...I was even so busy that I weighed the same baby three times.

"Let's go. It is said that Master Xiba happened to be practicing nearby, so he was free to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony."

"Aren't you curious about how idols usually train?"

Having said that, Wang Yao is actually not very interested in how Xiba trains Pokémon...

But he was very interested in how Sheba trained himself.

Look at what kind of people the other Guandu Kings are...

The red-haired pilot who was not doing his job, the sixty-year-old lady who was as tall as Xiaozhi, the busty girl with glasses who showed no signs of exercise...

There is absolutely no aura that a strong person should have~

Look at Master Sheba again!

Such a tall and mighty body, such strong and bulging pectoral muscles!

And that look in his eyes, as solid as a rock, just like Xiaogang's!

Coupled with the unkempt look that is unique to a strong man... Master Shiba even goes a step further, because he appears half-naked!

One word – power!

He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings when he brings the Poké Ball into the competition, and he is the well-deserved champion when he takes the Poké Ball away.

It’s no problem to kill ten Kikuko with one punch!

Even twenty!

……

"Of course I'm curious!"

Xiaogang came back to his senses from the blindness of love and returned to worshipping his idol.

"But... this kind of thing should be a very valuable secret of training... Will Master Shiba let us watch?"

Xiaogang's life skills are all focused on housework... As for the so-called secrets of cultivation, he only has a vague understanding of them from what he learned from movies and TV dramas.

"They are the Four Heavenly Kings, and you are just a gym leader who is almost bankrupt... I don't want to defend against you."

"Just ask boldly... maybe if Master Xiba is happy, he will accept you as his apprentice!"

Wang Yao waved his hand nonchalantly, trying to allay Xiaogang's concerns.

"Is that so?"

Xiaogang was a little skeptical.

After a while, the two stopped Master Shiba who was about to leave at the entrance of Pipi Cultural Center.

"...You two are going to practice with me in the mountains?"

Shiba asked with narrowed eyes in surprise.

Although he didn't know Xiaogang and Wang Yao, when they were taking the photo just now, it was these two guys who sandwiched him between them...

Naturally, I still have an impression of the two of them in my mind.

"Yes, yes... Master Sheba - please let us follow you!"

Xiaogang bent down at a 90-degree angle and bowed deeply, then asked haltingly.

"Master Sheba - this kid has always regarded you as his idol! Please fulfill his wish!"

Wang Yao pressed Xiaogang's shoulders and made him bend his waist to the limit!

"As long as you can hold on...it's okay to practice with me."

Xiba did not reject Wang Yao and Xiaogang's request.

In his opinion, it is a good thing for the young trainers in the league to have some ambition.

"…But training in the mountains is very difficult. You should go back and pack your bags first. I will wait for you at the intersection leading to Yuejian Mountain."

Master Shiba was even considerate enough to give the two some time to prepare.

"Great! I'll go back and pack my backpack now!"

Xiaogang excitedly took a step forward and ran home.

“——Wait for me!”

Wang Yao's luggage was also placed at Xiaogang's house.

Moreover, Kentaro and Charmander were not retrieved from the Pokémon Center.

……

Half an hour later, the two men packed their luggage and met at the entrance of the Pokémon Center in Phantom City.

"I don't know how long this training will take. Has your family made arrangements?"

Wang Yao asked Xiaogang curiously.

"Dad has almost adapted to doing housework...and Hiroki and the others can help take care of their younger siblings."

Although Xiaogang left in a hurry this time, he was much more relieved about the family affairs than the last time he went to Miacha Mountain with Wang Yao.

"Let's go! We've kept Master Sheba waiting for a long time."

Wang Yao asked the Armored Warrior and Xiaogang to go back and get the backpack, and he went to the Pokémon Center to retrieve the Pokémon.

"Oh, by the way! Ayao - I also brought the fossilized pterosaur egg for you."

Xiaogang took out a Pokémon egg from the armored warrior's bag.

"This guy's incubation period is still half a year... Why do we need to take him for special training?"

Wang Yao took the egg with a headache.

"Studies have shown that Pokémon can sense their trainer's moods while in their eggs..."

"...Ayao, if you keep the eggs with you, the hatched fossil pterosaur will be closer to you."

Xiaogang also brought out his fossilized pterosaur egg.

……

Ten minutes later, the two saw Master Shiba sitting cross-legged under the shade of a tree at the intersection.

"…It looks like you guys are ready!"

"Then let's go!"

Shiba stood up from the ground and walked towards Yuejian Mountain.

"oops--!"

But just after taking a step, Master Xiba's feet went weak and he fell on the spot.

"Master Sheba! What's wrong with you--!?"

Xiaogang immediately looked around nervously. Could it be that someone had plotted against Master Shiba?

"…I just sat cross-legged for too long, and my legs are a little numb."

Master Sheba got up from the ground as usual and stretched his legs.

Then continue walking towards Yuejian Mountain.

"..."

"..."

Xiaogang and Wang Yao looked at each other, and something seemed to break in their hearts.

"A true master is not fussy about details!"

"...He usually behaves very ordinary, which just shows that his inner practice has reached an extremely high level!"

Xiaogang used his idol halo to come up with some reasonable explanations for Master Sheba's behavior.

"Makes sense!"

Wang Yao nodded. He had the impression that Rishiba was also such a secretive person.

While eating, he can be hit on the head by Xiaogang with a stick, but when he gets serious, he can use his body skills to fight against the giant Onix!

After confirming this idea, the two quickly followed Master Shiba.

In order to demonstrate his perseverance in cultivation, Wang Yao carried the backpack himself this time!

Although this is the small backpack that has all the kitchenware and most of the daily necessities removed...
