Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

Zizz—click—!

呲味味~

As the electronic access control was unlocked, a chill poured out from behind the door.

"Isn't it just a computer? How can it be treated like a cold storage..."

Wang Yao touched the frosted metal door curiously.

"[R]'s computing power is far more powerful than that of ordinary computers. If we don't take proper cooling measures, it will easily burn out due to overload."

Dr. Pumpkin ignored the white mist rising around him and walked leisurely in front.

[R] is the name of the main control computer of the battle tower that has been upgraded this time. Through the upgraded computing power, it can control everything in the battle tower.

He is also an AI administrator who can be called the 'brain of the battle tower'.

The computer body looks like a thick rocket trunk, with a closed eye on the cylindrical shell.

And above it, the bright red capital letter R logo is very Rockets style...

Or maybe this is the Rockets logo.

Of course, in order to avoid being misunderstood by outsiders, Dr. Nanjia explained that this name is the abbreviation of [REINFORCE].

After all, he was invited to "upgrade and strengthen" this battle tower.

"Frozen metal tastes sweet. Do you want to try it?"

Wang Yao elbowed Shizuka's arm and recommended.

"Ah? Really? Let me try it~"

Upon hearing this, Shizuka moved closer to the metal door, as if she really wanted to give it a try.

Just as the tip of my tongue was about to touch the metal door.

boom--!

Shizuka raised her hand and delivered a beautiful spinning elbow strike, knocking Wang Yao's head against the door.

"You bastard—do you think I'm a three-year-old?!"

"Gu...I was wrong."

Wang Yao begged for mercy faster than his face froze.

"Huh? Didn't they say that frozen iron gates would be sweet? Why don't you eat it?"

"Aren't you hungry yet?"

Shizuka asked with a smile as she let go of her hand.

"Well, actually I've been trying to lose weight recently. Professor Oak said I can't eat too many sweets during this period."

Wang Yao patted the frost on his cheeks and answered seriously.

"Okay, both of you stop making trouble."

"Close the door quickly after you come in, otherwise the cool air will dissipate."

Dr. Nan Jiang looked at the two flirting people with some helplessness.

This machine in front of me is a rare great creation even in the entire Pokémon world...

But you are there discussing stupid questions like “Is the frozen iron gate sweet?”

"Private Marseille~Swordsman!" - x2

As the white mist dissipated, the few people could see clearly what was behind the door.

"Yo giegiegie~" (The cry comes from the Japanese version of the snow boy's cry in Pokémon Advanced Episode 108 "Catch the Snow Boy!")

Seven short and stocky snow boys were taking turns blowing fine snow onto a large metal radiator.

"Ah, it's the Snow Boy... so cute~"

Shizuka was immediately locked in the gazes of the seven dwarfs.

"Is it cute? Let me take a look..."

Wang Yao also leaned closer to take a look at the Snow Boy's face.

Small blue eyes and a grin...

Wang Yao felt that they seemed more 'funny' than cute.

But judging from the smiles on their faces, these snow boys seem to enjoy this job.

"Yo gie?"

The snow boy was startled by Wang Yao's sudden appearance.

But after he came to his senses, he just moved two steps to the side and continued to blow the snow, ignoring the people around him.

"Did you bring all these snow boys here, Doctor?"

Wang Yao asked casually.

"No, they are all Kathryn's Pokémon..."

Dr. Nancong shook his head and said.

"Kathleen? Who is that?"

Shizuka instantly became alert.

The name sounds like it belongs to a girl... and a pretty girl at that.

"How do I know this?"

Wang Yao spread his hands and said.

"Oh, Catherine is the tower master guarding the third floor. If you want to go up to the tower to challenge her, you will naturally meet her."

Dr. Nan Yu thought that the two people in front of him had not yet climbed the tower to challenge him when he called them here, so he added casually.

"So it's the tower master... He can subdue so many snow boys, so he must be an ice-attribute expert, right?"

Shizuka covered her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, then guessed.

"That's right... But don't think you can easily pass the level just by relying on attribute restraint..."

"The tower masters here have already overcome their attribute shortcomings and are the elite among the elites."

Dr. Nan Jiao nodded.

Although the work is mainly done in the control room on the top floor, the construction of the central system itself requires a large number of parameters in the tower to be included in the calculation.

Therefore, he had some understanding of the situation of the tower masters on each floor.

"It doesn't matter, I will take action."

Wang Yao raised his hand and smoothed his hair, speaking in a casual manner.

"Here we go again, you're already bragging before we even compete..."

Shizuka took two steps away with some disgust.

It seems that he is afraid of being infected by this arrogant and stupid aura.

But Wang Yao stuck to him like a dog-skin plaster.

"So what did you mean by that look just now - were you jealous?"

Wang Yao asked with a teasing look on his face.

"Who-who is jealous?!"

Shizuka's voice instantly rose eight pitches.

"You idiot, you better take care of yourself first - don't fall to the hands of the first floor tower master."

Avoiding Wang Yao's gaze, Shizuka quickly changed the subject.

"What? I'm still got you even if I fall down, right?"

"Big sister, you are so powerful, it is not easy for you to help me pass the level~"

Wang Yao raised his hand and pointed at the Poké Ball on Shizuka's waist and said.

"Why should I participate? And can two people take on the tower challenge together?"

After being with Wang Yao for such a long time, Shizuka has become much more thick-skinned.

The names that were once taboo...are now as gentle as the breeze on your face, and you can face them with ease.

"Yes, you can. The battle tower has two modes, one for single player and one for double player, to record the results separately..."

Wang Yao explained, then turned his gaze towards Dr. Nan Mai.

"Ayao is right, and the rewards for the two-player mode will be even more generous."

Dr. Nanshu nodded and proved it.

"why is it like this……"

Only then did Shizuka realize that she had been tricked by Wang Yao.

Previously, Wang Yao said that she was only there as a "backup force".

She thought this meant cheerleading...

I didn't expect that the focus of this sentence is not "support force" but "appearance"!

"What do you mean by clearing the level so easily? I think you just want to see me embarrass myself in front of the tower master's attack."

Shizuka said with a flat mouth.

"No, how could I..."

Wang Yao was about to explain when he heard the metal door behind him open again.

"Dr. Nanzhe, I brought the core back."

A shrill voice came from the white fog.

"It's not Nanzhe, it's Nanbo! Call me Dr. Nanbo!"

Dr. Nanbo corrected sharply.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Nanbo, the 3D dragons that will serve as the core are ready."

"The three men I recruited this time are very efficient and saved me a lot of trouble."

As the metal door closed again, a white-haired boy walked out of the white mist.

"Doctor, have you also found a little brat as an assistant?"

Wang Yao asked curiously, looking at the other person who was about the same height as Xiaozhi.

"Where did you come from, you bastard, to dare to look down on me?!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Yao finished speaking, the white-haired boy suddenly got angry.

That angry expression with bared teeth looked like a dwarf hyena with its fur standing on end.
