Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

Wang Yao followed the Rockets tradition and let Mushroom play freely.

The Sleepy Mushroom's face tightened, and it struggled to produce a ball of yellow-green mixed powder, and controlled it to float towards the poisonous jellyfish.

Seeing the powder ball about to hit him, Wang Yao suddenly reacted.

Damn! That thing is probably hypnotic powder!

"Oh no! The giant crab is diving into the water!"

Fortunately, the giant crab was not distracted during the battle. After hearing Wang Yao's command, it waved its claws, shook off several tentacles on its body, and dived immediately. The powder ball just avoided the giant crab and hit the poisonous jellyfish directly!

The stinging jellyfish, which had already been hit twice by the crab's fists and wings and was in confusion, was hit perfectly by the hypnotic powder. After struggling for a few times, it fell into a coma.

"Good opportunity!" Wang Yao immediately threw out a friendly ball!

Beep——!

The stinging jellyfish turned into a red light and was collected into the Poké Ball.

Just as the Poké Ball was about to fall into the sea, the Giant Crab stretched out its claws in time to catch it.

The sleeping Poison Jellyfish was symbolically shaken in the Poké Ball and was successfully captured.

"Good! The stinging jellyfish was captured successfully!"

With four against one and the righteous trainer pitching to finish off the match, the outcome of the battle was not unexpected.

Arbok: The four of us are awesome!

It’s a pity that Wang Yao doesn’t have Shinji’s illustrated manual, but he can still look at the individuals and genetics of wild Pokémon.

"The stinging jellyfish is the final evolved form after all, so its combat effectiveness shouldn't be too bad." Wang Yao was naturally not picky.

Judging from the brief battle just now, Wang Yao estimated that the level of this elf was close to that of the giant crab.

In order to tame each other faster, Wang Yao deliberately used an intimacy ball that could speed up intimacy - although he didn't know if it would work.

"Okay, everyone, take a break, and we'll continue the trapping operation!"

Wang Yao’s plan is to have at least three underwater combat forces!

Now the giant crab and the poisonous jellyfish are in place, and with one more elf, our goal for tonight will be accomplished.

He commanded the giant crab to change the sea area and seduced two waves of elves in succession.

The third time, only one needlefish was worthy of attention, but it ran away when it saw that the situation was not good. The giant crab could not catch up with it, so it had to give up.

The fourth trap attracted a relatively rare octopus barrel. Wang Yao commanded the elves to swarm over it and block the retreat!

Finally, he was successfully captured using the luxury ball.

As an elf that evolved naturally in the wild, this octopus barrel is also very powerful.

The power of the water gun is comparable to that of a water cannon. With one shot from the water gun, the Arbok that came over to join in the fun was knocked away!

Fortunately, this stupid snake had thick skin and flesh, and swam back by itself. It angrily repaired the octopus barrel with its poisonous fangs, causing Wang Yao to use up half a bottle of antidote after subduing it.

Unfortunately, as the sun rose, the luminous properties of the Sleeping Mushroom were not so effective after daybreak, and the Sleeping Mushroom was not very energetic during the day, so Wang Yao failed to catch the third combat Pokémon tonight.

In this way, the number of elves owned by Wang Yao has reached exactly 6.

Wang Yao doesn't have any elf transmission equipment, so it's no problem for him to carry a few elves with him.

But to be honest, with 6 Poké Balls hanging around his waist, Wang Yao's sense of security has improved a lot.

"Four out of six Pokémon are water-type, so I can be considered a water-type expert." Wang Yao smiled to himself.

The newly captured stinging jellyfish and octopus barrel were a little unsociable at first, but they still obeyed orders - Wang Yao used some high-level wound medicine on them and managed to get them closer.

Most wild Pokémon are relatively simple and have no resistance to joining a trainer's team. Wang Yao estimates that they will be able to receive combat training after a few days of adjustment.

Although they were Team Rocket, Wang Yao did not use any bad training methods.

However, the conditions on the deserted island are limited, so don't expect him to offer any good benefits for joining the team.

One can of beans per person! Let the wild elves feel the shock brought by modern technology!

Well, it’s not that shocking, at most it’s just a new experience.

I guess they don't like to eat it very much.

……

The overseas expansion plan is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Five more days passed.

The raft has been completely completed and the dried seaweed is almost piled up into a mountain.

More than a dozen liters of fresh water have been collected, all in empty cans and containers found in the wreckage of the aircraft.

With the addition of octopus barrels and stinging jellyfish, the underwater hunting segment has also been supplemented.

There are many more dried squid in the shelter.

Wang Yao had no objection to eating Pokémon, because there were no ordinary animals like them in this world—there used to be some, but they were completely extinct.

According to his memory, this Pokémon world as a whole tends to be a later-stage game setting. The worldview is already complete enough and does not need to be supplemented by real animals. Real animals that once appeared in the illustrated descriptions - such as Indian elephants and mongooses - have been extinct for many years due to the popularity of Pokémon.

In the early years, it was a common practice for humans to slaughter Pokémon for food, but with the establishment of the Pokémon League and the improvement of Pokémon protection laws, slaughtering Pokémon for food is no longer allowed - but it is still legal to collect some edible parts of Pokémon and collect agricultural and sideline products.

Typical examples include: Milk from Miltank, eggs from Chanel and Happiny, Slowpoke's tail, the claws of crab/lobster Pokémon that fall off in battle, fruits from Grass Pokémon, etc...

Although humans in the Pokémon world today eat meat, most of it is meat from the renewable parts mentioned above, as well as artificial technological meat.

However, there is naturally a food chain between the elves. Popos prey on caterpillars, gulls prey on weaklings... The alliance regulations cannot interfere with their predation on each other.

At most, we can set up more protected areas for rare elves to help them reproduce naturally.

So, in fact, these weaklings were caught by the stinging jellyfish themselves, and Wang Yao was just helping them store food for a few days.

What's more - you're the one who wants to talk to my Rocket Team leader about the league's rules?

Do you know what an evil organization is?

Wang Yao had no psychological burden at all, he just hoped that the weather would be better tomorrow so that it would be more convenient for him to go out to sea.

……

"finally!"

Wang Yao was in a good mood as he looked at the cloudless and peaceful seaside scenery in front of him.

"The food reserves include canned beans, dried fish, and dried seaweed."

"There are nearly 20 liters of fresh water for drinking."

Although it was fresh water that had not been boiled, Wang Yao believed in his physique as a human in the Pokémon world.

"Three water elves take turns pulling the raft, and there are long-winged gulls in the sky leading the way!"

"Medicine and Poké Balls are also ready... Life jackets are on!"

"Let's go! Target human civilization!"

Wang Yao waved his hand!

The giant crabs and poisonous jellyfish carefully dragged the raft into the sea, and Wang Yao climbed onto the raft.

Wang Yao put the rope around the giant crab and the poisonous jellyfish. He decided to have the two elves pull the raft together, which would reduce physical consumption and allow them to better deal with the sudden appearance of wild elves.

As for the Octopus Barrel, keep it by your side for now, waiting for rotation or attacking wild Pokémon.

Wang Yao’s raft is still very stable, and the balance blocks on both sides can cope with the waves well, at least for now.

If he encounters big waves and storms, his raft will be useless and he will probably have to rely on the power of the elves to drift on the sea.

So Wang Yao decided to take advantage of the good weather and travel further.

The raft quickly moved away from the shore, and under the guidance of the two water elves, the outline of the island became blurred before long.

Wang Yao really had nothing to be nostalgic about this deserted island. He just looked back and then concentrated on sailing.

To ensure the correct direction, Wang Yao would let the long-winged gull fly into the sky to reposition every half an hour.

Perhaps because of the deserted island as a reference, the long-winged gull returned very quickly at first.

Later on, the car slowed down gradually, and it was obviously becoming more difficult to identify the direction.

Fortunately, birds are natural travelers. The prototype of the long-winged gull is between the seagull and the albatross, and it is good at long-distance travel.

Perhaps it relies on the magnetic field, or perhaps it senses the wind direction, the long-winged gull can always feedback the accurate direction - at least it itself is very sure.

Wang Yao chose to believe in his elves. After all, with the simple nature of the elves, most of the things they could determine were not based on blind guessing.

Not long after going out to sea, Wang Yao saw a splash of water emerging from the sea in the distance, followed by a black fish fin swimming straight towards the raft!

"It's a Megalodon!"

The towering dorsal fin, the crisscrossing yellow stripes on the forehead, the bloody mouth full of sharp teeth, and the pair of scarlet eyes all demonstrate the ferocity of this elf.

"There's only one! Everyone, come at me together!"

Wang Yao was a little nervous and shouted loudly.

Fortunately, there were elves escorting me, so the situation was not too chaotic.

"Giant crab, poisonous jellyfish! Prepare for battle!"

Wang Yao untied the ropes from the giant crab and the poisonous jellyfish.

"Poison Jellyfish! Use poison needles to attack!"

"Giant Claw Crab! Mud Shooter! Don't let them get close!"

Wang Yao is not afraid of the Megalodon, he believes that his elf team can defeat it, but Wang Yao is worried that the Megalodon's impact will destroy the raft.

The two elves gathered their energy, aimed at their targets, and prepared their respective skills.

A common feature of Megalodon is its rough skin, which makes it not the best choice for close combat.

What's more, Wang Yao was not sure whether the raft was strong enough to withstand the opponent's full-force impact.

Give an order!

Poison needle combo! Mud splashes!

The two elves took turns using long-range moves to attack the Megalodon, and the long-winged gulls in the sky also used ultrasonic and water gun skills to try to harass the Megalodon's actions.

Taking the time to release the octopus barrel as a bodyguard, Wang Yao began to command several elves to fight in an orderly manner.

After all, the wild megalodon was weak and alone. After trying to approach the raft in vain, it could only roar a few times from a distance and leave angrily.

The first encounter with wild Pokémon after going to sea was safely overcome with the advantage in numbers.

Next, Wang Yao encountered two more Megalodon attacks. Fortunately, these elves were lone rangers, and Wang Yao defeated the enemy with more people and won the battle.

Unfortunately, when the megalodon sharks see that the situation is not good, they often retreat directly, and no megalodon chooses to fight to the end.

Wang Yao also lacked a powerful elf that could defeat the Megalodon with one blow.

Otherwise, Wang Yao's team could have added another great general.

During the afternoon voyage, Wang Yao also encountered a group of migrating needlefish.

A school of needlefish poses a far greater threat than a lone megalodon, especially because of their venomous stings, which can poison you if you're not careful.

If a conflict occurs, Wang Yao only has a stinging jellyfish to effectively fight back.

Fortunately, Wang Yao changed direction in time and followed the movement trajectory of the school of fish.

……

The first night at sea soon arrived. Out of caution, Wang Yao did not release the Sleeping Mushroom this time. After all, attracting the attention of elves at sea is not as easy to deal with as on shore.

Wang Yao fed the Giant Claw Crab and the Poison Jellyfish some dried fish and seaweed, put them back into the Poké Ball, and released the Octopus Barrel to tow the raft at night.

The night is still clear, there are no dark clouds in the sky, and the moon hangs high in the night sky.

The long-winged gull that Wang Yao tamed had the common characteristic of sharp eyes. Its eyesight was naturally very good and it did not lose its way because of the night.

Wang Yao ordered the long-winged gull to take off once every two hours, and slowed down the octopus barrel. This would save energy and reduce the noise of the raft, thus avoiding attracting the attention of other elves.

After releasing Arbok, who had rested for a day, to stand guard outside the shed, Wang Yao prepared to spend the night on the raft.

The waves were relatively calm today, but it was not easy to fall asleep lying on the rocking raft.

Wang Yao lingered in a daze until the second half of the night before falling into a deep sleep.

……

The next morning, Wang Yao was awakened by the sound of waves.

Before waking up, Octopus Bucket had already exchanged places with Giant Crab and returned to the Poké Ball to rest.

Wang Yao glanced at the weather at sea.

The weather today is similar to yesterday, except that the sun feels even brighter.

But the sun is always better than a storm.

After waking up, Wang Yao chewed a few mouthfuls of dried fish with cold water.

The scenery on the sea was exactly the same as before, and Wang Yao was a little tired of it.

"Long-winged gull, please fly once more."

Wang Yao commanded the long-winged gulls to continue leading the way.

"Gah~gah~"

The long-winged gull shook its head twice, flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

After the long-winged gull left, Wang Yao looked around and found that the surrounding sea water seemed to have turned black.

"Have we reached the deep water?"

Wang Yao knew that this was because the seabed nearby was deeper.

"Perhaps there are powerful spirits lurking in places like this."

Wang Yao lay on the bamboo raft, sticking his head out to look at the bottom of the sea.

The deep seabed in front of him made Wang Yao feel a little unsure.

“I hope we don’t meet.”

Wang Yao prayed silently.

Humans still have a primitive fear of the deep sea.

If this happened deep in the jungle of the mainland, Wang Yao would definitely excitedly summon dozens of Team Rocket brothers, use mortars and rockets, and combine with the righteous siege of his elves to forcibly capture the so-called "powerful elf"!

But Wang Yao is now on a leaky raft, with only a few new and old elves of varying combat effectiveness under his command.

I released the poisonous jellyfish, arbok and other elves one by one, and fed them some dried fish and seaweed as breakfast.

Wang Yao hid back in the shed and stared blankly again.

Fortunately, there are elves who can tow the raft. If Wang Yao were asked to row the boat by himself, he would definitely not choose to go out to sea.

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

This is Wang Yao’s fifth day at sea.

Nearly half of the fresh water has been consumed, but there are still a lot of food reserves.

The right side of the raft's balance block was broken, caused by a rampaging Gyarados.

Fortunately, the Gyarados was just passing by, and the waves it accidentally stirred up while on its way broke the already unreliable balance block.

Otherwise, judging from its size, that Gyarados is definitely a dominant Pokémon in the ocean, and the few small fish in Wang Yao's hands are no match for it at all.

Wang Yao's skin had become much darker. Although he tried his best to stay inside the shed, the ultraviolet rays in the sea were much more severe and his hands were already peeling.

On the contrary, the elves that had been half-submerged in the sea water and exposed to the sun didn't feel anything.

Even because they took turns pulling the raft every day, their physical strength increased to a certain extent!

Although the weather at sea has been good these days, we haven't encountered any particularly dangerous situations.

But Wang Yao was actually getting a little impatient.
