Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Here it comes - this time the trap is so efficient!"

Wang Yao hid in the waist-deep grass and looked at the humanoid Pokémon walking out of the woods.

"Hmm? Why does this color seem a little off?"

Wang Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at the other person carefully.

A big, sharp nose, a hunched body... including the white hair on the shoulders and neck...

It is indeed a dream-inducing tapir, but why is it pink?! If the yellow dream-inducing tapir is a lewd hypnotic goblin...

Then the pink dream-inducing tapir is the ugly but cute hypnotic goblin.

"Wait - it seems that this kind of pink Pokémon did appear in the animation..."

Wang Yao tried hard to recall the cartoons he watched as a child.

It seems that Xiaozhi encountered a lot of rare pink Pokémon on an island, but it turned out that they were just ordinary Pokémon that ate berries that could be dyed.

Because it was a rare episode that featured different-colored Pokémon, Wang Yao was quite impressed by the plot of this episode.

"Is it because of the special fruit you ate? That's right! It must be that!"

Wang Yao felt that he had found the answer.

After all, the place where they are located is an island famous for its abundant fruit trees, so it is normal to have fruit trees with similar dyeing effects.

It's impossible that this wretched Pokémon was born pink, right?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

A Pokémon as ugly as Ophiuchus, if it were a different-colored individual, would definitely be the same green and fat color!

After thinking for a few seconds, the opponent was already close to the bush where he was hiding. It was a good time to attack!

Wang Yao no longer hesitated at this time.

Thump~thump~thump~thump~thump——!

"A wild dream-inducing tapir has appeared!"

"Trainer Yao sends out the energetic Scyther!"

"Go ahead! Scyther - use the combo attack!"

Wang Yao decided to send out Scyther to fight a fair one-on-one battle with the opponent!

"Haha!"

By cutting tree fruits, he accumulated the layers of combo in advance, and suddenly jumped out of the bushes and pounced on the Dream Tapir!

Swish-!

"Night tapir——!"

A sudden blow from the sword knocked the dream-inducing tapir, who was attracted by the beautiful dream feast, to the ground.

Feeling the pain, the Dream-Inducing Tapir immediately woke up.

"Night tapir..."

With his left hand, he shook the circular pendant that he depended on for survival, and a mysterious light with a hypnotic effect was emitted toward Scyther through the pendant.

"Haha!"

But Scyther was prepared!

Close your eyes and head in the direction of the first knife...

He swung the sword again and again, making three consecutive attacks!

laugh--!

As luck would have it, one of the knives happened to cut the string of the ring pendant in the Dream-Calling Tapir's hand.

Snapped!

Before the pendant hit the ground, Scyther's next strike cut down the pendant in the air, cutting it in half.

“Night tapir——!?”

The Dream-Inducing Tapir's cry was filled with shock and fear, and his sight fell to the ground along with the broken pendant.

poof...

His knees went weak and the Dream-Inducing Tapir seemed to have lost all the strength in his body.

“Woo woo~ Nightmare tapir… Nightmare tapir!!”

He lay on his precious pendant and let out a wail of great distress.

"Haha..."

When Scyther heard the opponent's wailing, he couldn't help but stop attacking.

"Are you scared?"

The Sly Mantis, which lacked much combat experience, turned its head and looked at Wang Yao, as if asking for help on what to do next.

"Tsk tsk—crying so miserably..."

Wang Yao leaned out from the bushes, walked up to the Dream-Inducing Tapir, and clicked his tongue twice.

"Yadong~"

Daidai spoke up and reminded at the right time.

"Nani?"

Wang Yao was immediately shocked.

"——Daidai, you said it was a female dream-inducing tapir?"

Wang Yao took out the illustrated book and compared it carefully with the image above.

"Isn't it exactly the same? How can you tell the difference...by the sound of crying?"

Wang Yao was a little unconvinced.

How can there be female goblins?

That’s not how it’s written in the novel!

"Yadong~"

Daidai pointed at the conspicuous white hair on the other person's shoulders and neck and said.

It learned a lot about Pokémon classification at the Oak Research Institute, including the male and female differences of the Dreaming Tapir.

"The white hair on the collar of females is longer? Is there such a saying?"

Wang Yao compared the photos in the illustrated book and found that it was true...

"Alright, alright—why are you crying?"

"I can just fix it for you."

Wang Yao picked up the metal ring that was cut in two and took a look at it in his palm.

It feels light and the texture is not very hard... It's a bit like it's made of a can.

"Dada—melt it and make another one."

Wang Yao threw the broken metal ring to Daidai.

"Teeth~"

He used his telekinesis to make the metal ring float in front of him, and then he opened his mouth and spit out a blazing flame.

The metal ring lasted only half a second in the flames before it melted into a ball of molten iron, and was then molded back into the shape of a ring by telekinesis.

"Night tapir?"

The Dream-Inducing Tapir stopped crying and looked at the scene in a daze.

"Yadong~"

Daidai also thoughtfully tattooed beautiful flame patterns on both sides of the metal ring.

The style is similar to the Phoenix Flame on Mr. Yamada's rubbing, giving the entire metal ring a sense of ancient charm.

"Ya~dong~"

Daidai opened his mouth and blew out a gust of cold wind, cooling the metal ring into shape.

Wang Yao took off the metal ring and turned it in front of his eyes, and found that there was no flaw.

Much more refined than the original one.

"There's still a rope missing... Let me find it..."

Wang Yao took a few steps and pulled off a few strands of silk threads that were stuck to the tree trunk when the Metapod was making cocoons.

Twist the silk threads a few times, roll them into a thin rope, tie them to a metal ring and hand them over to the Dream-Calling Tapir.

"Dream tapir!"

The Dream-Inducing Tapir took the re-melted metal ring with surprise and put it on his cheek.

"Dream tapir~Dream tapir~"

The metal ring was recovered and became even more beautiful, which made the Dream-Inducing Tapir thank Daidai repeatedly.

biu——!

Just as the Dream-Inducing Tapir bent over to express his gratitude, Wang Yao took out a white commemorative ball and pressed it on the other's head.

Du~du~du~

The Poké Ball shook three times.

Diddoo!

The red light on the button went out, which also symbolized that the Dream-Inducing Tapir was successfully subdued by Wang Yao.

“Come out——!”

Wang Yao took out the dream-inducing tapir again.

"I'm curious about the fruit you usually eat. Take us to see it."

Wang Yao said straight to the point.

"Night tapir?"

The Dream-Inducing Tapir scratched his head in confusion.

Isn’t it usually eating pomelo fruit?

It's just that because it's quite picky about taste...it only collects the largest and juiciest pomelo fruits as food.

And thanks to the psychic Pokémon's telekinetic skills, it can easily pick the most beautiful fruits from every tree.

"Yadong~"

Daidai explained to him the trainer's intention of looking for the dyeing fruit.

"Dream tapir~Dream tapir dream tapir~"

The Dream-Inducing Tapir immediately shook his head.

It has been this color since birth and has never eaten any fruit that can produce color.

"tooth?"

There was no information about the heterochromatic dream-inducing tapir in the research institute, so Daidai didn't know this either.

"Yadong~"

He immediately informed Wang Yao of the other party's reply.

"Heterochromatic? Are you really born a heterochromatic Pokémon?"

Wang Yao looked at the other party in shock.

The first heterochromatic Pokémon he captured turned out to be a Dreamcatcher?

Or a female dream-inducing tapir...

"Impossible...there must be something wrong!"

"-Maybe you just ate too many peach fruits!"

Wang Yao grabbed the Dream-Inducing Tapir's arm and rubbed it hard with the corner of his clothes.

But I found that the color did not fade at all!
