Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

On the fishing boat, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a strong build was at the helm.

"Mr. A Yao, the pier of the third island is in front."

The uncle was none other than Yajiro, the eighth-generation heir of the dried fish family who presented Super Stone to Wang Yao.

"Well, just send it here."

Wang Yao raised his hand and threw out two Poké Balls.

boom--! boom--!

Two red lights flashed, and giant crabs and megalodon sharks appeared on the sea.

"Hold the bone spur well, don't be afraid, the giant crab swims very steadily."

Wang Yao first placed the little fan firmly on the crab shell of the giant crab.

"Guji~"

The giant crab raised its claws, like the guardrails of a roller coaster in an amusement park, and fixed Xiao Mi in the middle of the crab shell, one on the left and one on the right.

"Haha~Big crab!"

The little fan had never ridden a Pokémon across the sea, so he was in the mood to play.

The feet in sandals were soaked in the sea water, swaying back and forth, splashing a lot of water.

Wang Yao himself jumped onto the back of the megalodon.

"Then I'll ask you to take Xiao Mi to the island."

Yajiro has to go to the deep water to fish today, and it takes too long for the fishing boat to dock.

"Don't worry~"

Wang Yao waved goodbye to the other party, stepped on the back of the megalodon, and headed towards the shore.

……

After sending Xiao Mi back to the hotel run by his family, Wang Yao returned to the Pokémon Center near the Third Island Pier.

The reason for coming here is not to restore the Pokémon's strength.

But he just received a call from Shizuka.

The caller said that the Vermilion City Pokémon Center had received a letter sent to him from the Hoenn region.

The sender's name is Kenji.

Wang Yao casually asked Shizuka to open it and help him take a look.

However, because the letter contained a lot of content and also included a few photos, it was not convenient to relay it over the phone.

Shizuka planned to send the letter and photos to Wang Yao via fax.

Drop——sizzle!

Several sheets of color-printed A4 paper were spit out by the fax machine bit by bit.

"Are you actually traveling to the Hoenn region?"

Wang Yao curiously picked up an A4 paper with a photo printed on it.

However, Nori Island is located between Kanto and Hoenn regions, so it is not surprising that Kenji would choose to travel to the Hoenn region.

At this time, almost three months had passed since Wang Yao asked Uncle Minchuan to deliver a gift to Kenji.

The gift was not expensive, just a giant flying fish and ten Poké Balls...

There was also a Pokémon Pokédex that he had requested from Professor Nishinomori.

Wang Yao looked down at the picture in the photo.

The order of these photos is also sent according to the other party's travel experience.

In the first photo, the picture shows Kenji's family of three, as well as Grandpa Masaru and Uncle Toshikawa.

The rebuilt surf hut is in the background of the photo.

In the second photo, Kenji has already gone out to sea. This is a selfie of him riding on the back of a giant flying fish crossing the sea.

It is worth noting that there is an extra stingtail insect on the opponent's shoulder.

It should have been captured in the forest of Yeli Island.

The next few photos are photos of Kenji with various new friends, both men and women... This guy seems to be quite sociable.

Moreover, the number of Pokémon around him has been increasing, and he is obviously becoming a qualified trainer.

Wang Yao picked up the fax of the letter and glanced at it.

“Ayao, by the time you see this letter, I should have already left Kanaz City.

So far, I have earned two badges and made a lot of new friends...

Let me tell you about my experiences during this period...Traveling is definitely the right choice as a trainer!

After going out to sea, I first came to Wudou Town. The owner of the museum here is a man of my age named Fujiki...

…He also loves surfing – but I’m better at it!

...The Carapace Cocoon evolved during the battle!

...After arriving on the mainland, I used the Hunting Swallowtail to capture a Swallowtail in the Orange Forest, and then took the Pokémon to challenge the Orange Gym.

...After the defeat, I was doing special training in the Orange Forest, and I encountered a group of wild Pokémon fighting each other for food...

...The coyote that I rescued and tamed was a little disobedient, but luckily, Master Qianli helped me... He is such a great trainer...

After the reminder from Master Qianli, I went to Mobai Town and received a lively and cute water-leaping fish from Dr. Odamaki's research institute...

Kanaz City... A fisherman at the beach gave me a fishing rod... I didn't expect that the one that took the bait was a lobster soldier.

...Evolved in battle? Why did Swampert...

She was so cute before she evolved...

...After I obtained the Rock Badge, Master Dujuan heard me talk about you...

She said you are her idol——Ayao, you are the champion of the competition?!

I watched the other party's collection of your game videos...

It's really too strong!

As expected, I knew you were a great trainer!

Next, I plan to go to the town of Buyan… I heard there are great hot springs there… although I’ve never seen one.

……

I look forward to the day when I meet you again - Kenji."

……

"That guy Kenji is pretty good!"

Wang Yao folded the faxed letters and photos and put them in his backpack.

Kenji, who has the giant flying fish, has a much higher starting point than ordinary trainers, and his own mentality and physical fitness as a surfer are already very good...

So in just over two months, the changes are so great.

The other party seems to be planning to participate in the Caiyou Conference next year.

If I continue traveling like this, I might be able to achieve good results.

"See you again? Then I'll go to the Hoenn region after you finish the competition..."

Wang Yao muttered.

He is quite interested in collecting champions from all-region conferences.

After leaving the Pokémon Center, Wang Yao planned to go to the fruit forest on the west side of the island to have lunch.

Thanks to the island's tropical climate, there is a wide variety of tree fruits here.

This is also the reason why Nobuko's parents would come here specifically to pick fruits and bring them back to the market on the second island to sell.

Woohoo! Rumble! Rumble!

As soon as we set foot on the road, we heard the roar of an engine in the distance.

"oh oh--!"

"Speed ​​up! Charge!"

A group of punk-dressed motorcycle gangsters were speeding towards Wang Yao.

The leader was a muscular man with a shiny head.

Under the sunlight, the opponent's head is more dazzling than the chrome parts on the car body.

Chi——!

Leaving a brake mark, the bald man swung the rear end of the car and stopped in front of Wang Yao.

"A strange face, another tourist from out of town!"

Gang Zao grinned and showed Wang Yao a fierce expression. "This island has been occupied by us, the 'Kanto Speed ​​Racers' - tourists are not welcome to the island!"

Gangzao said in an extremely domineering manner.

"That's right - the entire Third Island belongs to the newly created boss!"

The motorcycle guy behind the other party immediately added.

"Kanto Speed ​​Racers?"

Wang Yao thought about it and seemed to have never heard of this organization.

Misa and Masha on the cross-sea bridge are bicycle racers, and they are probably not in the same group as these motorcycle racers.

“You’re scared, right? Hahaha!”

When the other motorcycle boy saw that Wang Yao did not respond, he immediately laughed out loud.

"Your bike is well modified. Why don't you lend it to me for a ride?"

Wang Yao ignored the other party's words and instead set his eyes on the Bobber-style cruise motorcycle that he had just built and was riding.

He used to have one too.

This place is quite far from the fruit forest, so I think riding a motorcycle is also a good choice.
