Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"It seems you don't have that kind of qualifications."

The next morning, Wang Yao shook his head as he watched the Magikarp being pulled out of the water by Pidgeot.

The opponent was too weak. In terms of physical fitness, he was not even as good as the small Magikarp that Xiaozhi captured in the mountain behind the research institute.

When Pidgeot grabbed it out of the water just now, he accidentally left several claw marks on the fish's scales.

"Gu..."

After experiencing the most terrifying night in its life, the Magikarp finally gave up hope.

"—build a fire."

Wang Yao waved his hand, and the coward immediately took out charcoal and cooking utensils from his backpack.

A chopping board and a kitchen knife also floated out behind Daidai.

Swish-!

With a flash of the knife, the fish head fell to the ground.

"Goo!"

There was still remnant of unwillingness to his fate and helplessness about his own weakness in Magikarp's eyes.

……

Soon, the porridge in the pot began to boil.

"call--!"

Wang Yao blew on the spoon and took a careful sip.

"tasty."

Wang Yao nodded with satisfaction.

The dried fish craftsmanship of Yataro's family, which has been passed down for eight generations, is truly extraordinary.

This bowl of salted fish porridge is not only cooked to perfect perfection, but the salty and fresh taste of the dried fish is also fully released.

"After eating this bowl of porridge, it's time for you to get on the road."

Wang Yao poured a bowl of cooled salted fish porridge into the Magikarp's mouth, and then gave the giant crab a look.

"Cuckoo..."

The Carp King suddenly felt that the salted fish porridge in his mouth had lost its taste.

Sure enough, this is my own head-severing porridge...

"I should have thought of that yesterday... How could a Gyarados be born in a small pond?"

Wang Yao stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery below the mountain.

"Giant Claw Crab, send it on its way!"

"Guji~"

Wang Yao waved his hand, and the giant crab opened and closed its claws, walking towards the Magikarp with a grim smile on its face.

"Guji~"

【Take a deep breath. It’s normal to feel dizzy.】

The huge crab claws clamped on the king carp fish and lifted it above its head.

"Magikarp is not tasty - next time you see me, you have to evolve into a Gyarados~"

There was a hint of disdain in Wang Yao's tone.

then……

call out--!

With a flick of the crab claws, the Magikarp turned into a stream of light, flew out from the top of the cliff, and smashed the sea surface with a bang.

“Gugu…”

The violent impact caused the Magikarp to faint instantly, and it floated up and down in the waves, spitting bubbles.

"Kaka..."

The fallen Magikarp quickly attracted predators from the sea.

A stinging jellyfish swam over following the sound of someone falling into the water.

Dozens of tentacles wrapped around the unconscious Magikarp, ready to inject dissolving liquid into its body.

Then you can completely digest the opponent like sucking jelly.

"shark--!"

Just then, a more powerful predator appeared.

"grumble……"

The stinging jellyfish immediately emitted ultrasonic waves to scare the opponent, then left the Magikarp behind and quickly fled.

As a wild Pokémon that has been roaming in this sea area for many years, it is well aware of the horror of the newcomers.

"shark……"

The megalodon with the Pippi doll on its head glanced at the Magikarp floating on the water.

It opened its mouth, held it in its mouth, and swam towards the reef.

"shark--!"

Megalodon put Magikarp down and roared in the reef area.

"Sunny..." (The cry comes from the 214th episode of the original series, "Sun Coral's Good Friend! The Showdown at Huangyan Island!!", Sun Coral's cry.)

"Taku..." (The cry was edited from the cry of the black seahorse in episode 19 of the original series, "Agate Jellyfish, Stinging Jellyfish". The original sound also had a bit of tongue-twisting, but I didn't want to waste words, so I omitted the tongue-twisting part.)

"Cha..." (The cry comes from Ultraman Tiga's cry in the first episode of Ultraman Tiga, "Glowing Tiga")

"Gotha!" (The call is adapted from the call of Gotha Duck in episode 92 of the original series, "Goodbye Psyduck! Here comes Gotha Duck again?" The original sound is similar to Gupa, which is similar to the name but does not look good when written, so the name is still used as the call.)

A few Pokémon such as Sun Coral, Black Sea Horse, and Sea Star swam out timidly from behind the reef.

Leading the group was a rare wild Gotha duck.

Among all the Pokémon present, it is the only one that can muster up the courage to kneel down and surrender gracefully when the Megalodon arrives.

Of course, it may also be because it is the only one with knees in the physical sense.

"Gotha...GothaGotha~"

Golduck greeted Megalodon in a flattering manner.

"Shark~"

The Megalodon looked at the sensible Gotha Duck with satisfaction.

Because after Wang Yao arrived at the Qidao Sea, he kept the megalodon in the sea.

The megalodon, which is active by nature, naturally cannot sit idle. Whenever it has free time, it will patrol the territorial waters between the surrounding islands.

In addition, its swimming speed is very fast, so the Pokémon in the waters of the neighboring islands have long known that a rampant Megalodon has appeared in the nearby waters.

Because of the image of the Peppa Pig doll on its head, the Pokémon in the sea gave it the title of "Peppa Pig Shark King".

Whether it's the usually brutal poisonous jellyfish or the schools of needlefish...

If you show any disrespect to it, the King Shark will rush up and bite you!

"Shark! Shark--shark!"

(I'll leave this stupid fish to you. Train it to death - if it fails to evolve, I'll eat you too.)

The megalodon left a few words and then swam away faster.

……

"Ahem - I'm getting old now, I didn't expect the consequences of staying up late would be so serious."

Old man Yamada opened the door for Wang Yao with dark circles under his eyes.

He was so engrossed in watching videos last night that he didn't go to bed until three in the morning.

I didn't wake up until eleven o'clock in the morning, feeling tired.

"Communications are really advanced nowadays. They not only record various legendary Pokémon..."

"Even some of the ruins I explored when I was young have now been developed into tourist attractions...there are no secrets left."

Old man Yamada rubbed his eyes and returned the tablet to Wang Yao.

"There's an internet-connected computer at the Pokémon Center at the pier. You can surf the Internet and read the news when you have time."

Wang Yao suggested to him.

"Oh, yes, that's right - surfing the Internet, or that's the fashionable term for you young people."

Old man Yamada nodded. After watching scientific expedition documentaries all night, his adventurous heart started beating again.

However, his current body no longer allows him to go out and explore in person like he did when he was young, and he can only satisfy his visual needs in front of the screen.

"That's right—this is the Seven Islands chart I drew when I was young."

Old man Yamada took a roll of parchment from the cursed doll beside him.

The wrinkled palms stroked the parchment, as if he was missing the past.

"Although it's a bit old, it's still much more detailed than your travel brochure!"

Old man Yamada smiled and handed the sea chart to Wang Yao.

Ding——Wang Yao obtained the important item [Seven Islands Sea Map (Master Hand-painted Version)]

"This……"

Wang Yao took the parchment hesitantly and slowly unfolded it in his hands.

As the saying goes – a relic lover who can’t draw is not a good stonemason.

With Mr. Yamada's craftsmanship, the sea charts he drew are naturally extraordinary.

Not only the proportions are accurate and the positioning is clear...

Many important events encountered during the expedition are also marked on it.
