Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Is this... a Pokémon encyclopedia?" Wang Yao took it and looked at it, and found that it looked familiar.

This illustrated guide clearly looks like an early version, a square, red clamshell machine that looks a bit like a 3DS handheld game console. There are cameras on the back and front of the machine, and when it is opened, there is a three-inch color screen.

Everyone can train a Pokémon, but not every trainer has a Pokédex. Most trainers are like bug catchers, who use various means to get a starting Pokémon and then start their journey.

The Pokémon Dictionary is a special item that only a very small number of elite trainers can possess.

Only trainers who have close ties with the official Pokémon research institute of the League are eligible to apply for the Pokédex.

In the Kanto region, the number of new illustrated encyclopedia owners each year usually does not exceed ten!

"Yes, it's the Pokémon Encyclopedia... and it's officially registered with the [Nishinomori Research Institute], and the registered trainer's name is [Yao]..." Dr. Nanbo explained.

"Also, you are now an orphan from Cinnamon Island. In the previous wanted cases in the Alola region, we have arranged for other people to disguise themselves and confess on your behalf. Even if you meet an opponent you have encountered before, you can use the similar appearance to explain it." Dr. Nanbo explained.

These were all arranged by Secretary Manori. As Sakaki's personal secretary, she obviously understood her boss's thoughts very well.

Since Boss Sakaki values ​​this young man, she will naturally try her best to promote this undercover plan.

"Nishinomori Research Institute? Is that also an industry of Team Rocket?" Wang Yao recalled and seemed to have never heard of this name.

"It's not really - precisely because it's not, it's credible in front of the alliance!" Wang Yao seemed to understand Dr. Nanbo's words.

"…The Nishino family has been engaged in the research of Pokémon evolution for generations. Now it is the fifth generation of Nishino. Their family is very famous in the industry!"

"Because he once participated in the compilation of the atlas, Nishino Mori actually has quotas for applying for the atlas every year. It's just that he usually stays at home and rarely goes out, so few people know about it."

"But he is actually a fool. Apart from being extremely focused when studying Pokémon, his normal thinking is that of an idiotic narcissist!" When Dr. Nanbo said this, his tone suddenly became a little irritable.

"...I just recommended you to him, praising you as a kind-hearted boy, and got a place in the illustrated book..."

"Ah? Just like that..." Wang Yao scratched his head.

Is it so easy to get the illustrated guide?

This Dr. Nishinomori does sound a little unreliable.

"…The reason I can do this is because when I was young, I happened to be in the same class with Nishino Mori at the Pokémon Research School. We even sat at the same table…"

As if understanding Wang Yao's doubts, Dr. Nanbo slowly explained to Wang Yao the origin of the illustration.

"Swoosh..." Wang Yao understood this time.

"You can authenticate your identity by taking a photo in front of the camera..." Dr. Nanbo introduced some simple functions of the atlas to Wang Yao.

Wang Yao played with the illustrated book in his hand with curiosity. He found that although this thing looked like an antique, it actually had a high level of technological content.

"Besides that... there is one more thing." After Dr. Nanbo finished explaining how to use the illustrated guide, he took out a square box from the corner.

"This is a gold card from Silver Company. Cardholders can enjoy a 20% discount on purchases. It also has 500,000 Baokeyuan deposited in it, which should be enough for you to spend for a while..."

"Here are ten invitation tickets to the Pokémon Center. Each invitation ticket can enjoy up to 72 hours of free food and lodging at any Pokémon Center in any city. In addition, Joey will provide free Pokémon treatment for Pokémon Encyclopedia holders."

"But you'll have to figure out a way yourself from now on - in order to reduce your contact with the organization, you won't be able to receive funding from the organization anymore!" Dr. Nanbo spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.

"It's okay, just take on more tasks." Wang Yao didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

In fact, it is quite easy to make money in the Pokémon world.

Especially for someone like him who has a flexible moral bottom line, it is easy.

"Also... none of the Pokémon you previously had are registered in the trainer system, so you need to re-register them. These ten advanced balls have been bound to a private breeding ranch near Golden City. You will replace their Poké Balls later and decide which Pokémon you want to carry."

"From now on, if the number of Pokémon you capture exceeds the quota, they will be automatically transferred to the breeding farm. The contact information of the breeding farm has been stored in the Pokédex."

Dr. Nanbo took out a shopping card, a stack of invitation tickets and a set of high-end balls from the box.

"As expected of Lord Shintori! You are so thoughtful!" Wang Yao happily took the gold card and the premium ball.

"Don't be too happy too soon! The price of a private breeding house is very expensive..." Dr. Nanbo warned Wang Yao.

"These ten premium balls come with a lifetime breeding quota. The Pokémon you capture for the first time can be bred for free in this private breeding house. But if you capture too many Pokémon, the breeding fees alone will be too much for you to bear!"

"There is such a thing..." Wang Yao really didn't think too much about it.

But in the game, it seems that you do have to pay to put Pokémon into the breeding house to lay eggs and level up?

"Ah... I think I need to be more cautious..." Wang Yao thought about it with some distress. It seems that he can't be a one-ball superman anymore.

He could no longer receive salary from the Rockets. Apart from a gold card, he could only take on missions to earn money.

If all the money is wasted on the breeding house, it would be a bit of a waste of time.

Besides - Wang Yao wouldn't be so stupid as to exchange all of his Pokémon for advanced balls!

Since it is a [free training] with a [limited number of places], it is natural to register Pokémon with great future potential and current weak combat power, such as Chimaera, Arbok, and Sharptooth!

As for other Pokémon, just scan the original ball directly. Anyway, the collection ball set given by the captain before also has a regular number. As long as the new capture record can be registered in the trainer system, it will be fine.

Don’t waste these ten free training places!

Including the Zapdos, Wang Yao would not replace it with an advanced ball and store it in the breeding house, but would always carry it with him.

Wang Yao must make full use of these ten high-level balls!

"Okay, I don't have any other tasks, you can leave." Dr. Nanbo waved his hand, trying to send Wang Yao away.

"Okay... Dr. Nanbo."

Wang Yao was still thinking about how to distribute the ten advanced balls. He didn't hear clearly what Dr. Nanbo said. He nodded in a daze and was about to leave.

"By the way - I'm currently making a new machine. The core material is the large amount of Z-pure crystals you brought back from the Alola region last time. If there are any results, I can let you try it first!" Dr. Nanbo suddenly thought of something and called Wang Yao.

"Hmm? What does the machine... do?" Wang Yao reacted and asked curiously.

The reason why he was wanted in Alola was because he stole a large amount of Z-Crystal for Team Rocket's research.

After all, how could Team Rocket, whose goal is to dominate the world, let go of this item that can quickly increase the power of Pokémon's skills without any side effects!

"After a period of research, I found that carrying a Z-Crystal can connect the emotions between the trainer and Pokémon! Using the Z-Crystal, the trainer and Pokémon can resonate and emit powerful power!"

"In theory, as long as I can control the degree of activation of the Z-pure crystal... I can create a [Thought Disruptor]... to disrupt this kind of connection!"

"Imagine... due to the interference of the machine, a Pokémon going into battle hears the trainer calling its name incorrectly, or hears it being asked to use a skill it has not mastered! Wouldn't it be in a situation where it cannot accept commands!"

"And the more familiar the Trainer and Pokémon are with each other, the better the performance!"

"As long as you activate the mind disruptor during the battle and prevent the opponent's trainer's Pokémon from participating in the battle! Team Rocket's combatants can easily win!"

Dr. Nanbo becomes so immersed in the scientific research project at hand that he can't stop talking!

"Wrong name? Mind disruptor?" Wang Yao extracted the key words from Dr. Nanbo's endless introduction!

"Wait..." Wang Yao seemed to remember a character in the original novel.

Could that scientist in Team Rocket who’s name is always called wrong be Dr. Nanba in front of us?

The reason why he was always called by the wrong name was because he was studying the Z-pure crystal he had dug up and was planning to develop a [Mind Disruptor]!

Wang Yao probably thought that something went wrong during the experiment and caused some permanent effects on Dr. Nanbo!

As a result, everyone always calls his name wrong!

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?" Wang Yao muttered to himself.

Because the childhood memories are too distant, he has now forgotten the name of the scientist in the animation.

Even if Wang Yao grumbled, he couldn't just jump out and say something that might happen in the future.

"Z-pure crystal contains a large amount of energy. Doctor, you must be careful when doing experiments!" Wang Yao had no choice but to give a safety reminder in a tactful way.

"Hahaha~ A Yao! There is no risk in doing experiments... But don't worry! With my Dr. Nanbo's technology, I will be able to make the first experimental machine next month!" Dr. Nanbo didn't care about Wang Yao's reminder. After all, he was very confident in his own technology.

"...Really?" Wang Yao wasn't sure whether the two were related.

After retrieving the Poké Ball and backpack, Wang Yao left the underground base of the Withered Leaf Gym.

In just half an hour, Wang Yao, the evil cadre of Team Rocket, transformed himself into A Yao, the righteous Pokémon trainer!

"In that case... let's go eat first!" Wang Yao took out a treat ticket.

Interestingly, in the original body's memory, he had never been to the Pokémon Center.

He had never even seen Miss Joy in person... He had only seen the image of a gentle lady with pink hair and a constant smile in the medical advertisements at various Pokémon Centers.

However, Miss Junsha had a [fierce interaction] with him!

The kind that gives you a silver bracelet if you lose.

Fortunately, he is more skilled and always finds a chance to slip away!

……

The Pokémon Center in Vermilion City is actually right next to the pier, so Wang Yao has to walk back after leaving the gym.

But just as I reached the main entrance of the gym, I saw a little boy of about eleven or twelve rushing out from the entrance, holding a charred creature in his arms.

"Hold on! Rattata!" The little boy cried and hugged the charred Rattata, and ran towards the Pokémon Center!

"Tsk..." Wang Yao raised his head and glanced at the sign of the Dead Leaf Gym.

"As expected, just as the rumors said, his style is ruthless..."

Wang Yao shook his head. At least for now, he had no intention of challenging the Dead Leaf Gym.

Zapdos hasn't been completely captured yet. Among the Pokémon he has that can fight, only Arbok is not restrained by the Electric type...

But you want to challenge the Dead Leaf Gym with just that useless snake?

Wang Yao can have barbecue in the evening!

As for the Sleeping Mushroom - wait until it evolves a little more!

Thinking of this, Wang Yao followed the little boy and walked slowly towards the Pokémon Center. He also took a walk on the streets of Vermilion City to see the local customs and practices.

After all, Vermilion City is an important seaport in the southern part of the Kanto region and is much more prosperous than other mountain towns.

But unlike commercial cities like Golden City, the pace of life of residents in Dead Leaf City is generally slow.

Because it is an estuary, there is a river in the middle of Kuye City. There are trails on both sides of the river, and you can see many old men and women chatting.

As Wang Yao walked, he was thinking about which Pokémon he should register when he arrived at the Pokémon Center.

He now has nine Pokémon, including Zapdos!

Giant crab, arbok snake, sleeping mushroom, big-mouthed gull, poisonous jellyfish, octopus barrel, cowardly bug, sharp-toothed fish, lightning bird...

"The attributes of the Pokémon I captured on the deserted island in order to protect myself were too simple..." Wang Yao thought carefully.

"In order to keep a low profile during the journey and to make a big splash in the end... Zapdos doesn't need to log in to the system before officially participating in the League Conference. After deducting Zapdos from the total number of Pokémon I carry with me, I actually still have six!"

"Among them, the unevolved Pokémon would be best for me to cultivate and evolve myself, so they are Arbok, Sleepyhead, Chinchilla, and Sharptooth." Wang Yao took out three Poké Balls.

"But... the habits of the Sleepy Mushroom family are really not suitable for training as a combatant. It seems that we can give up on them first." Wang Yao took the Poké Ball of the Sleepy Mushroom in his hand.

"The image of the Nasiri is quite cute... If there's a chance, I can trick it from a kid... and exchange it for the Starter Pokémon. It's better than leaving it in the breeding house to gather dust." Wang Yao was very tolerant of exchanging Pokémon.

Sleepy-Hoo will be exchanged to a more suitable trainer, while Arbok, Chiron, and Sharptooth will be kept with the team until they evolve, and then they will be cultivated in rotation as the main team.

“As the big brother of the team, Crabapple is also the Pokémon that I use most easily…” Wang Yao took out Crabapple’s Poké Ball and slowly spun it in his hand.

This Poké Ball is just an ordinary red and white ball. Because it has been carried around for too long, there are many tiny scratches on the surface of the ball.

"...There's no need to worry about race value or future potential - just this kind of inexplicable bond is enough to cultivate it into an ace!"

Wang Yao wasn't quite sure why, but having the giant crab around always made him feel safe.

He even thought of Boss Sakaki's giant Beedrill.

Even compared to the mediocrity of Beedrill, Crawlker's proud attack power and physical defense are unique among many popular Pokémon!
