Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

Night came quickly, but the night on the sea was not quiet.

The sound of waves kept coming, and the boat kept swaying on the sea.

Since there were no islands or sandbanks for temporary docking near today's route, Daidai could only choose to anchor in shallow waters overnight.

In addition, since it was inconvenient to make a fire on the boat, Wang Yao and Jingxiang only had some instant foods in their backpacks and the fruits they had picked earlier for dinner.

"Gurgle, gurgle~bah!"

Wang Yao spat out the toothpaste foam in his mouth and picked up the cup of water to rinse his mouth.

After washing up, he planned to hide back in the cabin like Shizuka.

"Ayao, come here quickly, I have a surprise for you~"

Shizuka half leaned out of the quilt, raised her hand and patted the mattress beside her, saying something that could easily be misunderstood.

"Eh? This is a children's channel... We must be aware of the impact."

Wang Yao rubbed his hands. In order to prevent the program from failing to pass the review, he switched the TV channel to Global Vision in advance.

Spring is here, and it’s time for children to go on group outings!

"What nonsense are you talking about again - just tell me whether you want to watch it or not?!"

Shizuka looked impatient.

"Look."

Wang Yao slipped into the bed.

"This is--!"

When Wang Yao saw the scene under the quilt, his eyes widened.

“Clang clang clang~ How about it, a surprise, right?!”

Shizuka proudly lifted the quilt.

On the mattress, a purple and white glowing mushroom man was blinking at Wang Yao.

"Gummilu~"

Sleepy-Hoo shook his head and greeted his former trainer.

As before, after night fell, the sleeping mushroom became energetic.

But Wang Yao suddenly felt a little sleepy.

"Did you borrow it from the club?"

Wang Yao asked with little interest.

“This is not borrowed~”

Shizuka said in a mysterious way.

"You're worthy of being the big sister. You can grab the Pokémon that the kids love from the club just by asking them to."

Wang Yao didn't expect Shizuka to work so hard for the Sleeping Mushroom.

"You guys deserve to be beaten again?!"

Shizuka hit Wang Yao's arm lightly in annoyance.

"President Masuda saw that the Sleeping Mushrooms were so popular among children, so he asked someone to capture another batch of Sleeping Mushrooms from the Alola region and transport them back to the club..."

"I have other Sleeping Mushrooms as playmates for my children, and I happen to be going on a trip... I'll take this opportunity to ask the president to let me take care of the Sleeping Mushrooms."

Shizuka hugged the Sleeping Mushroom in her arms and reached out to tease the three small mushrooms on its head.

"Is that so, Sleepy Mushroom~"

Shizuka asked in a coaxing tone.

"Gumilu~Qiu! Qiu!"

The Sleepy Mushroom sneezed continuously due to Shizuka's actions, and a lot of glowing spore powder fell out of its umbrella cap.

The spore powder sprayed by a single Sleeping Mushroom does no harm to the human body. Only when the spores of a cluster of Sleeping Mushrooms are sprayed together will there be danger.

Rumor has it that there was once an incident where the Sleeping Mushrooms sensed danger and spread their spores together, causing a plane that happened to pass overhead to almost have a serious accident.

"You traded Snorlax for Ponytail, and I adopted Snorlax, so it's my Pokémon now~"

Shizuka held the Sleeping Mushroom in front of her and showed off to Wang Yao.

"Yes~Yes~Miss, as long as you like it~"

Wang Yao lay down beside Shizuka, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

To be honest, he didn't miss much about the sleepy mushroom.

That is, when there was no fire on the deserted island, it acted as a luminous night light.

Also, in the first few battles to conquer the enemy, using it as bait did have some effect.

"What's your attitude?"

"You are such a heartless guy, aren't you? Sleepy-Hoo was your Pokémon before!"

Shizuka was very dissatisfied with Wang Yao's lazy attitude.

"...Then do you still remember why I wanted to exchange it with President Masuda's little fire horse?"

Wang Yao looked at him as if he was a fool.

"Eh?"

Shizuka seemed stumped by Wang Yao's question.

At that time, she and Wang Yao were not very familiar with each other, so she had no idea why this guy exchanged Pokémon.

"I'm a Pokémon trainer, and Sleeping Shrooms can't fight during the day..."

"If I just treat it as a vase like a mushroom night light, I might as well send it to a place where it is more suitable."

Wang Yao also stretched out his finger and poked the soft belly of the Sleeping Mushroom.

"Miloo~Miloo~Miloo~"

The Sleepy Mushroom was pushed down by Wang Yao's finger, and rolled around on the mattress, making cute ticklish sounds.

"Look, wasn't it much happier when it was playing house with the kids in the club than when it was with me?"

Wang Yao summed it up succinctly.

"How could this be... Did I do something wrong by bringing the Sleeping Mushroom out of the club?"

Shizuka said somewhat defensively.

This is totally different from what she expected!

——Shizuka's fantasy drama——

Shizuka: Clang clang clang~ How about it, a surprise, right! ? (Lifts the quilt.)

Sleepy Mushroom: Gumilu~ (showing a cute expression that made A Yao stunned on the spot.)

A Yao: Oh! Isn't this my beloved sleepy mushroom?! Without you by my side, I can't sleep well every night...

A Yao: Shizuka-chan, you are so considerate of me~ Woohoo! It was all my fault before... I was too young and ignorant...

Shizuka: Yeah, yeah, now you know how to be grateful?

Shizuka: Do you dare to make me angry again in the future?!

A Yao: Red bean paste private Marseille! (90° bow.)

A Yao: I won’t dare anymore. From now on, I, A Yao, will follow Shizuka’s lead.

A Yao: There is also the adorable and cute Xiao Sheng Long that Shizuka has always wanted but was too embarrassed to ask for. I also "a wise man knows how to deal with things" and will leave it to Shizuka to take care of.

Shizuka: That’s more like it~ (Say hello.)

——The end of Shizuka's fantasy drama——

"You can't say that..."

Wang Yao pinched Shizuka's cute face and comforted her.

"After all, I see that Mushroom likes you very much. If you become its trainer, then there will be no problem."

Wang Yao withdrew his hand in time before Shizuka could react.

Then he grabbed the Sleepyhead that was rolling around on the bed and stuffed it back into Shizuka's arms.

"You're different from me. You're a Pokémon nurse. Even if you're traveling, you can still become stronger as a breeder."

"The powder-based special moves that Sleepyshroom is good at, such as hypnotic powder and pollen balls... are still quite useful when treating Pokémon."

Wang Yao spoke nonsense in a serious tone.

In fact, I almost laughed out loud inside.

Sleeping mushroom?

I laughed when I heard it...even the sleepy mushroom came.

What can the Sleeping Mushroom do? You should evolve a level higher... No, after evolving, you will be even more useless, and you can't even be a pretty vase.

Forget it, you'd better not evolve.

Tie up a shawl of momentum, throw some mushroom spores, and use the opponent's roaring tiger's high-five surprise attack to consume it, and you will be considered to have made a contribution.

"Gummilu~"

Wang Yao teased the little mushroom man in Shizuka's arms, causing the light in the quilt to flicker.
