Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

“It’s shaking!”

Xiaozhi put his head close to the incubator and stared at the fossilized pterosaur eggs inside that were about to hatch.

"Grandpa, how long will it take for it to hatch?"

Xiao Mao asked with his hands in his pockets.

He has never seen a living fossil pterosaur.

But looking at the pictures, he looks very handsome.

"Hmm... probably in the next day or two."

Professor Oak said uncertainly.

Even though he is an authority in the research community, he is not a Pokémon breeder.

"But this egg has been shaking since this morning."

"This is a sign that it's about to hatch!"

Professor Oak explained.

"Eh...so you don't know either, Doctor?"

Xiaozhi raised his head and scratched his head, feeling a little lost.

The process of waiting for the fossilized pterosaur eggs to hatch was obviously too much torture for his impatient nature.

"There should be results after tonight."

Wang Yao was switching TV programs on the sofa nearby and said nonchalantly.

He doesn't really care about the first kill after hatching.

Anyway, before it grows big enough to carry people, the little fossil pterosaur will probably have to be handed over to Xiaozhi to feed.

The talent of the flying master is no joke!

"Then I'll stay at the institute tonight!"

Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, and he planned to guard the fossil pterosaur egg, not wanting to miss the moment it hatched.

"Is that so? Then Xiaozhi, you can sleep with Xiaomao at night!"

"Just have instant noodles for dinner... I'll call your mother and tell her."

Professor Oak nodded and said.

He didn't care about Xiaomao's opinion and walked straight to the phone and started dialing.

"Eh—I don't want to!"

Xiao Mao protested immediately.

"Go home and sleep, you bastard!"

Xiaomao shouted at Xiaozhi angrily.

"Tsk - you think I like sleeping with you~"

Xiaozhi crossed his arms and looked disdainful.

"Your room must be so dirty and messy, I won't set foot in it - I'll be keeping watch here at night."

Xiaozhi planned to sleep on the floor next to the incubator.

"What did you say--!"

Xiaomao has always paid the most attention to his personal image.

Not only is his room tidy every day when he wakes up, even the air fragrance is high-end goods bought from a perfume shop in Yuhong City.

But he was looked down upon by the sloppy Xiaozhi.

"I'm going to stay here too! I'll be the first person the fossil pterosaur sees after it hatches!"

Xiao Mao clenched his fists and shouted through gritted teeth.

He didn't want to let Xiaozhi run away alone.

"Oh! By the way - Doctor, you don't have to cook my portion of instant noodles!"

Wang Yao ignored the two little brats who were arguing with each other.

Instead, he reminded Professor Oak who had just finished a phone call.

"Hey...Ayao, aren't you going to have dinner?"

Professor Oak put down the phone and asked.

"Xiao Gang asked me to go to his house for a family dinner... I'll be leaving soon."

Wang Yao's words made the three of them envious at the same time.

"That's great... Xiaogang's cooking skills are only slightly worse than my mother's."

Xiaozhi recalled with drooling eyes.

Although Hanako is a good cook, it is well known that the taste of the dishes cooked by her mother is never the focus.

So Xiaozhi's bowl often contains some "good for the body" dishes such as stir-fried pork with green peppers and boiled broccoli...

There is no taste at all.

Every one or two days, I would cook some of Xiaozhi’s favorite dishes as a reward.

"Just to have a dinner...are you going to fly to Pitch Gray City on your Zapdos?"

Professor Oak felt that Wang Yao seemed to take the legendary Pokémon too lightly.

"How about you lend me your Dragonite? It's easier to ride than Zapdos."

Wang Yao put on the old goggles he found in Professor Oak's storage room and adjusted the tightness of the straps.

In fact, he didn't want to ride Zapdos either.

Not only are the feathers prickly...but they also discharge electricity when the wings flap!

Although most of the electricity will be directly absorbed by the lightning bird, there is still a strong sense of numbness, which most people cannot bear.

"You should just ride the Zapdos..."

Professor Oak immediately shook his head.

……

Snap! Snap!

Two balls of colorful paper flowers fell.

"Welcome, welcome - welcome our great champion!"

Xiaogang and Jiro set off firecrackers and stood outside the door together to welcome Wang Yao who had returned victoriously.

"I have specially prepared a sumptuous southern cuisine for dinner!"

Xiaogang prepared a dinner based on Wang Yao's background, with the theme of "Red Lotus Island" specialties.

"thanks, thanks!"

Wang Yao thanked him with a smile.

"Okay - no need for a welcome ceremony, let's eat!"

Wang Yao didn't expect that Xiaogang had specially prepared a welcome ceremony for him.

But think about it... In the animation, when Ash returned home after the game, the whole town held a lively party for him.

After taking his seat, Wang Yao discovered that Xiaogang's dining table had been extended a bit.

In addition to the three additional apprentices, daily meals have become richer, probably because living standards have improved.

"This is the coconut chicken recipe I learned from a TV channel - Ayao, how does it taste?"

Xiaogang brought out a steaming casserole from the kitchen.

He scooped a bowl of meaty food and handed it to Wang Yao.

“…It tastes really good!”

After slurping a mouthful of chicken soup, Wang Yao smacked his lips and said.

"I also made steamed sea bass and spicy fried conch slices... The main dishes were rice and pancakes."

Xiaogang looked at the variety of dishes on the table with pride.

After he had money, he began to try cooking some expensive ingredients that were rarely seen before.

"Delicious, ahhh... this one is delicious too!"

Wang Yao's mouth was already too busy to handle it.

There were more than a dozen mouths, big and small, chewing non-stop at the table. The feast that Xiaogang had carefully prepared today was simply too tempting.

It was not until five minutes later that Wu Neng took the lead in raising his glass.

"Let's raise a toast to our conference champions!"

Only Wu Neng had beer in his cup, while everyone else had juice and soda.

"Hahahaha!"

"——Celebrate the championship!"

"Together, together! We are the champions!"

Jiro, Hiroki and Ishiya, the three little brats, raised their glasses and cheered.

"cheers--!"

Wang Yao didn't even have time to wipe the rice from the corner of his mouth, he raised the iced juice and drank it all in one gulp.

"Cool!"

Wang Yao put down the cup, wiped his mouth and continued to eat!

……

A meal was enjoyed by both host and guest.

However, it was already dark after eating and drinking, so Wang Yao naturally had to stay at Xiaogang's house for one night.

"Look, Yao, this is the latest 'Gym Evaluation Guide' that was released yesterday!"

Wang Yao had just finished taking a shower and was leaning on the sofa in Xiaogang's living room, watching TV while waiting for his hair to dry naturally.

Xiaogang suddenly took out a beautifully bound booklet and handed it to him.

"Gym Evaluation Guide?"

Wang Yao took the booklet and flipped through it curiously.

He had heard Xiaogang mention this on the phone before, but had never seen it in person.

The cover of the booklet has the GAME FREAK company logo.

"The latest rating of our Dark Gray Gym has surpassed the Dead Leaf Gym and is on par with the Jade Rainbow Gym."

Xiaogang's tone was filled with excitement.

"Really? That's really good news~"

Wang Yao responded and continued to look down at the booklet.
