Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

After eating a few more meals of curry rice at Kenji's house, Wang Yao left Yeli Island.

According to the predetermined route, riding on the fossil pterosaur, we flew to the seventh island.

But even if you fly, the distance is still quite far.

At this time, he had already retrieved the fossil pterosaur that had exhausted too much energy, sat on the back of the dragon, and slowly sailed towards the Southern Islands.

"The nautical chart says that the environment of the seventh island is also very good. In addition to the trainer's tower, there are also ruins to explore."

Wang Yao carefully examined the hand-drawn nautical chart given to him by Old Man Yamada.

"咿~咿~"

The little dragon following behind his parents seemed to become happy because of this.

His head was shaking and he was humming a little tune.

"Do you like exploring ruins, too?"

Wang Yao was sitting on the back of Chenglong's father at this time. He turned around and looked at the little Chenglong behind him and smiled.

"babble?"

Xiao Chenglong actually doesn't know what the ruins are.

It just thought it would be fun.

"What? You are too playful."

Wang Yao touched Xiao Chenglong's head and reached into his pocket, ready to take out a handful of dried fish to feed it.

Didi——!

Didi——!

Just as he was enjoying a leisurely sea trip, the watch communicator on his left hand suddenly rang.

"Eh? What could be happening at this time?"

Wang Yao raised his hand and looked.

The caller was from the Vermilion City Pokémon Center, so it was most likely Shizuka calling.

"Jelly, do you want to wear this hat?"

The video screen was just connected, and Shizuka was helping Jigglypuff adjust its hat.

"The size seems a bit small..."

In the picture, Shizuka rarely changed into a casual light green long dress, and next to her was Jigglypuff wearing a sun hat.

"Lucky~"

Although the hat on his head is a little crooked, it does not affect Jigglypuff's good mood.

"Okay, that's it for now... I'll buy you a new hat next time."

Shizuka helped the other person smooth out the fuzz on his head and said helplessly.

"Ok?"

Picking up the microphone, Shizuka looked at the blue sea behind Wang Yao in the picture and asked in confusion.

"I'm ready to go. Are you still on vacation in that Seven Islands?"

"Huh? Has it been two months?"

Wang Yao reacted somewhat belatedly.

Before leaving, he had clearly planned to return to Kanto within two months, just in time to wait for Shizuka's work to be handed over so that he could travel with her.

It seems like I have wasted some time.

“Damn it, you… have you completely forgotten about me!?”

Shizuka's hand holding the microphone gradually tightened.

Fortunately, she called happily immediately after handing over the work, but this dead guy is still enjoying his vacation!

"No, it's all Professor Oak's fault..."

Wang Yao's brain worked rapidly and he found someone to take the blame in an instant.

"It was he who insisted on asking me to go to some Light Island to investigate the flamingo - and ended up delaying my trip. I was supposed to go back to Vermilion City to pick you up!"

Wang Yao explained.

"Professor Oak's request?"

Shizuka was a little skeptical.

"Yes, I stayed on Lantern Island for a long time..."

Wang Yao nodded hurriedly.

"Is this so..."

Shizuka's brows relaxed slightly.

If it was Professor Oak's request... then she would have no choice but to forgive him.

"The doctor must have his reasons for asking you to do this... so where are you now?"

Shizuka cleared her anger and continued asking.

"Well... I'm now heading to the final island in this sea - the Seventh Island."

"…We will probably arrive at the port tomorrow evening."

Wang Yao estimated the time.

"The Seventh Island?"

Shizuka raised her hand and poked her chin, thinking for a moment.

Unlike Wang Yao, she had been to school and had some knowledge of the geography of the area around Kanto.

"There are ships from Dead Leaf Harbor to the Orange Islands and the Seven Islands every week... The next one should be tomorrow."

The Pokémon Center is near the pier. She has worked in Vermilion City for several years, so she naturally knows the situation at the pier.

"Eh……"

Wang Yao scratched his head.

There's no need to be so anxious... In fact, it won't be long before he returns to Kanto.

However, seeing the other party's high interest, he did not object.

"Then see you in a week. Don't be late again this time!"

Shizuka said hurriedly and was about to hang up the phone.

After all, plans suddenly changed, and she had to start packing her luggage and buying boat tickets again.

"Quaa?"

The Psyduck at her feet tugged at the hem of Shizuka's skirt. Because it was too short, it couldn't be in the camera during the video call just now.

"Okay... then you can come say hello, too, Psyduck."

Shizuka put down the microphone, picked up Psyduck with some effort, and presented it in front of the camera.

"Gua~ Gua Gua Gua~"

Psyduck raised its paw coolly and moved it in front of its beak.

This is the signature move of 'Flat-Billed Allen', the big star of Psyduck in the 'Pokémon Cool Star Scout' program that it has been watching recently.

"Pikachu, you seem to have gained weight again."

Wang Yao remembered that two months ago, Shizuka could easily pick up Psyduck.

"Ah..."

The moves he had carefully prepared were ignored... and he was told he was too fat by a trainer he hadn't seen in a while.

This inevitably made Psyduck feel a little hurt.

"I'm telling you - Jigglypuff, don't secretly feed snacks to Psyduck next time."

Shizuka showed an expression that said "as expected", put down Psyduck, and gave instructions to Chansey.

"Lucky..."

Jigglypuff scratched his head. That being said...

But if the other party asks pitifully, it will probably still give the food to Psyduck.

After all, helping others is in the nature of the Jigglypuff family.

"That's all...I'll contact you when the ship is close."

Shizuka picked up the microphone again.

"Okay, Jigglypuff, we need to pick out some more suitable clothes - we're going to the island this time."

After hanging up the phone, Shizuka smiled again and immediately started to make arrangements.

"Lucky~"

……

"It feels so sudden..."

Wang Yao looked at the interrupted screen and sighed.

"But in the Pokémon world, traveling together is probably the norm, right?"

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

"babble?"

Xiao Chenglong put his head close to Wang Yao's pocket.

Just now it saw that there were dried fish in Wang Yao's pocket, but the other party stopped halfway through the process of taking out his pocket, leaving it waiting anxiously.

"You won't be short of dried fish - but you'd better drink more Moo Moo Milk."

Wang Yao's thoughts were interrupted. He smiled and took out a handful of dried fish from his pocket again and stuffed them into Xiao Chenglong's mouth.

"Eeeeee ...

Xiao Chenglong chewed the dried fish in his mouth with relish.

Wang Yao also fed some dried fish to Chenglong's father.

After a few days of rest, the two Mahayana dragons quickly recovered their vitality.

Although it is comfortable to travel across the ocean on the back of a dragon, air travel is obviously faster.

"Let's go back to the Poké Ball after we finish eating. The Fossil Pterosaur is almost done resting."

After Wang Yao fed the two dragons with the dried fish in his hand, he took out the Pterosaur's Poké Ball from his waist.
