Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"If you want to stay on the island for a while... you might as well send your Pokémon to the island's breeding house."

Nurse Li Hui suggested to Wang Yao.

“So there is a breeding house on the island?”

Wang Yao scratched his head.

He took a quick look at the dock and found that the Fourth Island seemed quite deserted. Not only were there not many tourists, but there were also far fewer local islanders than on the Third Island.

How can a breeding house run in a place like this attract customers?

"Guest, please don't underestimate the breeding house on our island. Even Lord Kona, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, has Pokémon stored here."

Nurse Li Hui smiled kindly and explained to Wang Yao.

"The pastures here are unique to the Seven Islands, and the climate is warm and comfortable all year round. It is a rare Pokémon ranch."

"If you want to give it a try, you can go to the breeding house via the road north of the Pokémon Center."

After Nurse Li Hui introduced the breeding house to Wang Yao, she left with the Megalodon's Poké Ball.

"Well... after all, this is Kona's hometown, so it makes sense to entrust a few Pokémon here."

Wang Yao stroked his chin and thought about the other party's introduction for a while.

"Let's go buy some food first... or we can go take a look around on the way."

Wang Yao doesn't have such a high demand for a breeding house.

After all, his Pokémon can be well taken care of no matter whether they are kept in Professor Oak's backyard or in Windsor Ranch on the outskirts of Golden City.

The key is that he doesn’t have to spend any money!

But no matter what - the breeding house on the island will definitely charge a fee.

……

"Lucky~"

"I want a dozen fried egg sandwiches, five orders of fish nuggets, and ten small cookies...to go."

Arriving at the restaurant on the second floor, Wang Yao ordered food to the Jelly Egg nurse.

"Oh - is this Moo Moo Fresh Milk? Give me two boxes too."

Perhaps because there was a ready-made pasture on the island, Wang Yao saw fresh Moo Moo milk for sale in the waters of the Seven Islands for the first time.

"Lucky?!"

Jigglypuff's smile disappeared.

Although the Fourth Island is Kona's hometown, not many trainers visit here because Kona himself lives in the Orange Islands all year round.

This also resulted in the Pokémon Restaurant's food preparation being somewhat insufficient.

"Lucky..."

Jigglypuff showed a fearless expression and moved the ingredients from the warehouse.

"…Rada, go and help."

Wang Yao saw Jilidan's expression and began to react.

"Rada!"

Lada rubbed his little paws, eager to try.

"Wait—remember to wash your hands before entering the kitchen!"

Wang Yao stopped the big rat and pointed to the sink.

"Rada?"

Rada looked at his paws, then at his trainer.

Although it is a mouse...it is actually very clean and its paws are not dirty at all.

"This is a rule!"

Wang Yao avoided Rada's gaze and emphasized.

"Rada..."

Helpless Lada had to run to the sink, flicked his tail and turned on the faucet.

After wetting my paws, I squeezed some dishwashing liquid and rubbed bubbles in my paws...

Wash it thoroughly, including the tip of the tail.

Then rinse off the bubbles under running water.

"Lucky~"

Jilidan breathed a sigh of relief, handed the ingredients to Rada, and ran to pack some Moo Moo milk for Wang Yao.

Although they both have short arms, Rada's claws are much more flexible than those of Chanel.

And the long tail can help, whether it is making fried eggs or coating fish fillets with bread, it can be done easily.

……

Half an hour later, walking on the path leading to the pasture, Wang Yao took a bite of the biscuit thrown into the air, raised his hand and took a sip of the Moo Moo milk that was freshly bottled this morning.

“…It tastes good!”

Wang Yao didn't expect that the quality of the Moo Moo milk here was even better than that in Kanto.

"But I felt a little choked after drinking too much. After all, soda is better."

Wang Yao took only a sip of the Moo Moo Milk and threw it to the giant crab beside him.

The giant crab opened its mouth and gulped down the bottle of Moo Moo milk in just a few gulps.

And behind the Giant Crab, there is a group of Pokémon following.

A coward eating a sandwich, a flying mantis chewing on fried fish nuggets, a Lada drinking Moo Moo milk...

The Pidgeot in the air also held a bag of biscuits in its claws.

"Pidiaodiao——!"

From time to time, Pidgeot would do a cobra maneuver, tossing a few small cookies out of the bag, then catching and eating them one by one for his own amusement.

"Lada~"

Rada raised a pair of little paws and tasted the Moo Moo fresh milk in small sips.

As a recruited wild Pokémon, the best thing it had ever eaten was the ripe fruits fed by its mother, the Marasaurus.

In addition to the sweetness of the fruit itself, there is also a wonderful taste of getting something for nothing!

And now, it is tasting the fruits of its labor.

This food called Moo Moo Milk is so delicious!

It was well worth the effort as it made a large table of sandwiches and fried fish fillets.

"Oh... I can already see the fence."

Not long after walking, Wang Yao saw wooden fences appearing on the grasslands on both sides of the road.

The fences at the Pokémon Ranch certainly don’t have any restrictive effect, but Pokémon themselves have intelligence comparable to or even far exceeding that of humans.

The purpose of the ranch fence is more to warn intruders.

This is to prevent any curious trainers from suddenly appearing in the ranch and being knocked away by the galloping Kentaro.

Of course - in the Pokémon world: being knocked away ≠ getting hurt.

After walking a few hundred meters, Lada licked the last drop of Moo Moo milk from the bottle.

Wang Yao finally saw the training house that Nurse Li Hui mentioned.

"It looks so plain..."

Wang Yao looked at the small wooden house in front of him.

The door was not locked, but ajar.

Squeak-!

Wang Yao pushed open the wooden door and walked into the wooden house.

"It's quite presentable inside..."

Wang Yao looked around and nodded.

The cabin looks inconspicuous from the outside, but the facilities inside are quite modern.

Not only is there a brand new computer on the counter, there is also a Pokémon transporter in the corner.

There are also low tables and sofas for people to rest...

Although the house is small, it is well arranged.

"Ahem! Hello~"

There was an old man dozing off at the counter in the room. Wang Yao coughed twice to remind him of his arrival.

"Hmm? Ah - 'Mieko' has a guest."

The old man slowly opened his eyes, pushed his reading glasses on his nose, and then shouted towards the gate behind him leading to the ranch.

"This is the 'Aurora Breeding House', and I am the breeder of the breeding house - Orikasa."

“This breeding house is run by my wife Mieko and I.”

Origami introduced him to Wang Yao.

"My name is Ayao, and I'm from Kanto."

Wang Yao didn't see a sign outside the door. He didn't expect that this breeding house had such a nice name.

"Oh - do you want to stay on the island for a while?"

As soon as old man Orikasa heard Wang Yao's introduction, he knew that this was a tourist from Kanto who came to travel to the Seven Islands.

They are also one of his main customer groups.

"Well...actually I'm a fan of Kona. I heard her hometown is on the Fourth Island, so I came to see her."

"And feel the local customs and culture of the island."

Wang Yao's reason was very reasonable.

"Haha... I've seen a lot of people who have the same idea as you."

Old man Orikasa smiled and became more certain of his opinion.

"But little Kona wasn't actually born on the Fourth Island. He was just sent to the island by his parents for recuperation when he was very young."

Old man Orikasa explained casually.

"what?"

Wang Yao didn't expect there was such a relationship.

"Wait...did you say 'recuperation'?"

Wang Yao noticed the details in the other party's words.
