Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

As usual, with the Poké Ball in the left hand and the Giant Claw Crab in the right hand...

Wang Yao quickly incorporated this group of Ma'ula and Xianla who were lacking in food and clothing into a regular army.

"Pidiaodiao——!"

"Roar!"

Then he blew the whistle to summon Pidgeot.

However, the fossil pterosaur that heard the first whistle also followed Pidgeot.

"Okay, Pidgeot! Take them to the Milk Can Ranch and have a few good meals first."

Wang Yao put the Poké Ball in a vegetable basket and gave it to Pidgeot.

He planned to deposit all these Ma-yulas in the breeding house run by old man Orikasa.

"This kind of badass Pokémon seems like a perfect fit for Team Rocket."

Although Magma is an omnivorous Pokémon, its staple food is still meat, so Wang Yao does not plan to send it to the research institute.

If he had the chance, he would send the Ma-la people to work for the real birds.

This is the kind of talent that the organization needs.

"Meow?"

Only the unsociable cat was left alone by him.

After all, this little guy looks too arrogant...

If we deposit them together at the ranch, we will probably be hung up and beaten by the leader of Ma'ula.

Of course, he wasn't really interested in either Ulama or Ulra...

All this was done just to make the ivory pig leader feel at ease and leave with himself.

As the price for helping the Ivory Pig Clan eliminate the natural enemies on the island...the Ivory Pig leader will also travel with Wang Yao.

There is only this one Ma'ula tribe on the fourth island, and the rest are just lone rangers like Yula.

Without the harassment from the more powerful Mamauras, the presence of a few other long-haired pigs was enough to protect the safety of the young members of the tribe.

Moreover, without the most gluttonous ivory pigs, there will be more food resources for the already scarce food resources, allowing the little wild boars to grow better.

……

"It turns out to be a sugar apple tree... No wonder it can grow in the snow."

Wang Yao sat on the ivory pig's head and raised his hand to pick an ice-blue fruit hanging on the treetop.

Wang Yao rubbed the peel on his sleeve, then took the sugar apple and took a bite.

The astringency of the peel and the sweet and sour taste of the flesh blend perfectly, and one bite of it brings a unique refreshing and cool taste.

"Hmm...it tastes good."

Wang Yao threw the bitten sugar apple to the giant crab.

"Guji~"

The giant crab curiously swallowed the sugar apple in one gulp, but was chilled by the cold breath.

"Hahaha~ Who told you to eat it in one bite~"

Wang Yao laughed immediately.

This stuff tastes pretty good if you just take a small bite, like a sweet and sour fruit ice cream.

"Okay, just pick one and taste it."

Wang Yao lowered his head and patted the ivory pig's head.

"Let's go, let's go straight back through the rock mountain."

Wang Yao had no intention of returning to the lakeside camp from the Frozen Waterfall Cave.

It's not as convenient and cool as riding an ivory pig back, instead of crawling around in the cave like a mole.

"Giant Crab, you guys come up too."

The back of the Ivory Pig Leader is spacious and comfortable.

The thick fur doesn't even require a saddle; it's warm enough just by leaning on it.

"Guji~"

The giant crab flicked its four legs and jumped onto the back of the tusk pig.

Afterwards, he curled up his legs and lay comfortably behind Wang Yao.

"Guji~~"

It has always been its mount, but now Ah Xie has become the master.

"Meow~"

Xianla also planned to climb onto the back of the ivory pig.

However, the Ivory Pig still couldn't stand Xianla, so he pushed the other party to the snow with his head.

The pig was snorting, looking like it was at loggerheads with the other party.

"Well... there's nothing we can do about it. You should come back first."

Wang Yao could only take the opponent back into the Poké Ball first.

He would not say something hypocritical like "Let the past be the past, we will be partners from now on..." in order to make the Ivory Pig forgive the other party.

The law of survival of the fittest in nature cannot be easily changed by him alone.

Since Ma-la and the-la are able to hunt the ivory pigs, it is understandable that the ivory pigs kill each other in return.

But now that we have met him this time, everything must be carried out according to his will.

"Okay, let's go after we say goodbye."

Wang Yao patted the ivory pig's head and comforted it.

"Hmph~"

“Woo woo woo…”

The tusk pigs and the hairy pigs rubbed their heads against each other, as if trying to remember each other's smell.

After a moment, the ivory pig took a step and walked slowly towards the gap in the sinkhole.

After climbing up the rocky mountain from here, you can slowly walk back to the lake along the coastline.

"Don't be too sad. I still often give Pokémon home leave."

Wang Yao lay on the thick fur, feeling the warm sunshine and the sea breeze on his face, scratching the ivory pig and saying.

"And if I have time, I'll leave you at the ranch on the island."

Once the Ma-la have found jobs, Wang Yao can arrange for the ivory pigs to go to the ranch.

Anyway, there is a Pokémon transporter at the ranch, so it doesn’t cost much to board a Pokémon here.

Maybe if we let the Ivory Pigs help Grandpa Orikasa and others with farm work on a regular basis, we can even save on breeding costs.

"Hmph~"

After receiving the trainer's promise, Mamoswine seemed to be in a much better mood.

My steps also became much lighter.

However, his heavy body still fell into puddles with every step he took on the beach.

As the waves rushed onto the beach, the puddles were swallowed up again by the waves little by little.

"Speaking of which... can you swim?"

Wang Yao looked at the puddle behind the ivory pig and suddenly asked.

"Hmph?"

The Ivory Pig stopped and looked at the sea hesitantly.

When it was still a little boar, it once swam in the puddle made by the leader, the tusk pig.

At that time, it would...

It might do so now, but it never tried again.

"Why don't you try it? Don't be afraid. The giant crab can swim. It can pick you up."

Wang Yao encouraged.

"Guji??"

The giant crab stood up on the pig's back with a "swoosh".

It seemed to have heard something extraordinary...

Bang!Bang!Bang!Bang!

The Ivory Pig took a step forward and ran towards the sea.

"Gurg!!"

Amid the surging waves, the tusk pig instantly rushed into the sea.

……

Beside the fire, Wang Yao raised his hand and rubbed the hair on the ivory pig.

"The seawater has dried up and turned into salt... Why can't it be washed off? Let's go soak in the lake again."

Wang Yao proved with facts that ivory pigs can swim.

Although the four short legs paddled a little slowly, the thick fat on the body meant there was no worry of sinking to the bottom.

But there is also a problem...

That is because the fur of the ivory pig is very fluffy because of its cold resistance, although it is usually very effective in preventing rain, wind and snow.

However, once the fur on the body is completely soaked with seawater, the seawater will be absorbed into the gaps between the hair, making it difficult to rinse clean.

After Wang Yao returned to the camp, he had already let the ivory pig soak in the freshwater lake twice...

After it finally dried, there was still a layer of sea salt crystals attached to the other person's hair.
