Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

With burning fighting spirit, Saizo was ready to take Gala Gala away from the hot spring camp and continue their journey of training!

But Wang Yao rarely met trainers in the same field, so he wanted to communicate more with them.

It's also a good opportunity to learn about how the [Trainers - Ordinary People] in the Pokémon world travel and live.

"It's a rare opportunity to come across a natural hot spring! It would be a shame to leave without trying it!" Wang Yao clenched his fist, then extended a thumb and pointed at the hot spring pool behind him.

"That's true! Gahala - let's go practice after soaking in the hot spring!" Saizo was convinced instantly.

"Gala..." Upon hearing this, Galagala fell to the ground and stood up with a speechless expression.

"Haha~ Hahahaha~" Saizang scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly.

……

A few minutes later!

"Ah! As expected, after a battle, one needs to relax. It would be best to soak in a hot spring at this time!" Saizo, with his upper body naked, soaked in a hot hot spring pool.

"Gala~" Gala Gala also put down the bone stick, put a stone under his body, and lay in the pool with his whole body relaxed, with only half of his head exposed above the water.

"Your Garagara is not afraid of water?!" Wang Yao looked at Garagara who was taking a hot spring bath with its trainer with some curiosity.

Wang Yao discovered that Garagara, as a ground-type Pokémon, could soak in the hot spring in a relaxed state, while Saizo's Tootsie and Spearow were unwilling to go into the water because they cared about their feathers!

"Of course!" Saizo said as if it was a matter of course.

"Galakala and I often practice under the waterfall!"

"It can even withstand the impact of a million tons of water! What's the use of a hot spring pool that doesn't move!" Saizo boasted shamelessly.

"Gala!" Galagala rarely agreed with Saizo on this point.

He dared to take Gala Gala to the waterfall and face the rushing water! To be honest, this guy is quite brave!

Both the trainer and the Pokémon are absolute ascetics!

"Can it be like this..." Wang Yao held his chin with one hand, thinking.

The giant crab is his trump card and needs rigorous special training to become stronger.

He has been thinking about the training plan for the giant crab recently!

The effect of ordinary physical training is getting worse and worse... After all, special training still has to target attribute weaknesses!

As a water-type Pokémon, Crabgrass is certainly not afraid of the water rushing down the waterfall!

But I’m afraid of electricity!

Still afraid of grass!

Wang Yao doesn't have a strong Grass-type Pokémon yet, but he can still have an Electric-type Pokémon by letting Zapdos help!

"Okay! It's decided!" Wang Yao planned to ask Zapdos to give the Giant Claw a special electric shock training every day!

……

"Guji?" The giant crab that was practicing crab punch against a big tree in the forest suddenly felt a chill all over his body!

It's as if something dirty is staring at me!

"Guji..." The giant crab stretched out its claws and scratched its bald head, then looked around in confusion.

"Guji!" The giant crab, not noticing anything unusual, waved its big claws again.

boom--!

Snap—crash!

The giant crab swung its powerful left claw and smashed the tree in front of it that took two people to hug with just one blow.

The big tree fell to the ground with a rustling sound of branches and leaves, and the giant crab switched to its next target.

If you look down from the sky, you will find that a large area of ​​forest has been cleared behind the giant crab!

Dozens or even hundreds of towering trees lay in a mess behind the giant crab, forming a new open space in the forest.

This is the result of the giant crab’s morning exercise!

The self-disciplined Crab had no idea what special skill training was. It only knew that its trainer asked it to use skills on the big trees in the forest before going out in the morning.

Just as the giant crab was immersed in practicing its crab fist, a small brown head popped out from the ground.

"Beep~Beep~" the hamster made a cute sound.

[Three new tunnels were dug today! I am really awesome! 】

Digger Jiro is proud of his digging speed!

Jiro the Diglett emerged from the ground and breathed in the fresh air of the forest again.

Sure enough, this forest is becoming more and more prosperous thanks to the hard work of himself and the other 17 brothers and sisters of the mole family!

Snap! Swoosh!

A big tree suddenly fell in front of Diglett Jiro, and the huge tremor scared him!

"Beep!" Jiro the Mouse came to his senses in surprise and found that the original forest had turned into a bare open space!

The open space was full of fallen trees and their stumps left after they were broken in half!

A Pokémon with an orange and white shell that we have never seen before is constantly destroying the trees in the forest!

"Beep!!" Diglett Jiro shouted angrily!

I'm so angry!

Digging quickly in the shallow soil, Digger Jiro blocked the giant crab!

"Beep! Beep, beep!" Digger Jiro warned the giant crab!

[Stop! Stop destroying the forest! ]

"Guji?" The giant crab lowered its head and saw the little guy in front of it.

"Goo-gee!"

【Whose child is this! 】

[I'm busy! Go away! ]

Will the Giant Claw Crab reason with wild Pokémon?

And stop destroying the forests - that really makes me laugh!

As a qualified Rockets fighter, Crab has extremely high professional qualities.

The giant crab ignored the mole Jiro in front of it, stepped over its head, and hit the big tree in front of it with its claws!

Click!

Another big tree was broken in half!

"Beep!" Digger Jiro was irritated by the giant crab's attitude.

Seeing that the giant crab was about to turn around and attack the next tree, Diglett Jiro immediately stood in front of the giant crab.

Since words are useless, let's take action!

Diglett Jiro condensed a ball of mud and threw it at the giant crab!

"Guji?" The giant crab noticed the little movement of Jiro the mole.

The giant crab casually raised its giant claws to block Diglett Jiro's [Mud Throwing] attack. It didn't even bother to fight back and continued to practice its skills with the tree.

Seeing that the attack didn't work, Diglett Jiro hurriedly attacked again.

This time, it used its most powerful skill, [Digging]!

Diglett Jiro quickly burrowed underground and dug a deep pit around the giant crab in an attempt to stop the giant crab's actions.

"Beep!" Groundhog Jiro crawled out of the ground and looked proudly at the trap he designed!

Let’s see how you can stop me this time!

However, what Jiro the hamster didn't know was that the giant crab was also an expert at digging holes!

The giant crab dug a hole directly on the spot, dived into the ground, and easily drilled out of the deep pit.

"Guji!" After the giant crab returned to the ground, it was a little annoyed by the harassment of the gopher.

After giving the warning, the giant crab ignored Diglett Jiro.

However, Diglett Jiro refused to give in and used [Throwing Mud], [Digging Holes], [Throwing Sand], [Mud Shooting]... to attack the Giant Crab continuously.

"Guji!" This time, the giant crab was really angry at Jiro's actions!

While Diglett Jiro was stepping forward again, he tried to throw sand into his eyes!

The giant crab seized the opportunity and punched Diglett Jiro in the head!

But the opponent was just a tiny creature after all, so the giant crab held back and did not use its signature crab fist skill. Instead, it just used ordinary physical blows.

But even if it was just a normal blow, it was not something that the opponent's fragile body could withstand...

Jiro the mole had a big bump on his head and fainted in the big hole he had dug.

Without the harassment from the naughty kids, the giant crab can smash trees efficiently again!

……

……

"It's time for lunch! Giant crab!" When it was lunchtime, Wang Yao also made time to look for the giant crab.

After finding a clearing in the forest where the giant crab was practicing its skills, Wang Yao was also surprised by the crab's efforts.

"Not bad! Giant Claw Crab - you are really hardworking!" Wang Yao smiled and touched the crab shell, praising the Giant Claw Crab for its efforts.

"Guji~" The Crab was particularly happy to receive the affirmative praise from the trainer.

"Let's go! Let's eat first - I'll change your training method in the afternoon!" Wang Yao watched the giant crab break a big tree with one punch, and felt that this kind of training was too inefficient.

You also need to train the weaknesses of your attributes!

Only in this way can the infinite potential of Pokémon be unleashed!

Wang Yao named it in his heart: [Lightning and Thunder Special Training Plan from Instructor Zapdos! ]

Abbreviated as [Zapdos Special Training Plan! ]

We returned to the hot spring camp with the giant crab and had a simple lunch of bacon and tree fruits.

The smoked meat jerky is actually the leftover spitfire meat from yesterday, which was smoked over the fire this morning.

The fruits were just collected by the gulls after the battle in the morning!

"Thank you so much for your hospitality!" Sai Zang was moved by Wang Yao's enthusiasm.

He originally wanted to leave after soaking in the hot spring, but Wang Yao suggested that they have lunch together before leaving!

With an empty stomach, Zhai Zang naturally found it hard to refuse such a generous invitation!

"Calla!" Galagala also enjoyed a rare "feast"!

"You're welcome! But you and Galagala - you can't go hungry while practicing!" Wang Yao would never be stingy with the food.

Anyway, there is plenty of food stored in the forest, so if it’s not enough, just get more!

"It smells so good!" Saizang tore into the bacon jerky and chewed it hard.

"It's really chewy!" Zhai Zang praised the smoked meat jerky made by Wang Yao.

"Ayao, what kind of meat is this? Is it high-grade Wagyu beef?" Saizou's wealth obviously meant he couldn't afford the meat dishes sold in stores in big cities.

Ordinary cattle in the Pokémon world had long been extinct - the so-called high-quality Wagyu beef was just his ignorant fantasy.

"Uh..." Wang Yao thought about how to answer.

"Saizo, I remember you said before that you caught a Spearow in the forest, right?"

"Most people prefer to tame Popo - but you prefer Spearow?" Wang Yao did not answer directly, but changed the subject.

"Yeah! I think Spearow's tough personality matches my style very well - as for Popo and the like, I feel their personalities are too gentle!" Saizo really likes Spearow more.

"Gara!" GaraGara also tapped the bone stick in agreement. It hated to be teammates with weak Pokémon.

"I see. That's all right then..." Wang Yao nodded.

"I like Spearow, too—it's just that everyone expresses their love in different ways."

Wang Yao said something that sounded quite philosophical to Zhai Zang.

"Although I don't understand it, it seems very impressive!" Saizo scratched his head.

"As expected of Ayao! He is very capable in both Pokémon battles and brainstorming!" Saizo sighed.

"Haha! Thank you for your compliment!" Wang Yao shamelessly accepted Zhai Zang's flattery.

"Eat more. You can also pack a portion as a snack before you leave!" Wang Yao enthusiastically put meat into Zhai Zang's wooden bowl.

"Enough! Enough! There's no more room!" Saizo was fumbling with a large bowl of bacon jerky.

Faced with Wang Yao's warm hospitality, Zhai Zang, who was used to living a hard life, was really helpless!

……

Lunch time passed quickly in a cheerful atmosphere!

Zhai Zang and Gala Gala were also ready to say goodbye to Wang Yao and continue their own journey of cultivation.

"Ayao, you must be a top trainer who stands out from the big cities!" After eating and drinking his fill, Zhai Zang chatted with Wang Yao for a few more words before leaving.

"Why do you say that?" Wang Yao was a little confused about where Zhai Zang's idea came from.

"You are only one or two years older than me! But whether it is your understanding of Pokémon battles or your experience in traveling, you are far better than me!" Saizo explained.

"Compared to you, my performance as a Pokémon trainer is like a substandard product!"

As he spoke, Saizou sounded a little depressed.

"You must have received a systematic and comprehensive elite education... and I am just an ordinary person who came from an unknown mountain village!"

Although Saizo appears to have an ascetic and optimistic personality, he actually feels inferior to others because he is a country bumpkin.

"idiot!"

Wang Yao immediately started to be elegant and easy-going!

"——There is no such thing as elite education!" Wang Yao refuted Zhai Zang's idea mercilessly!

"I'm just an ordinary trainer traveling around!"

"Not long ago, I was stranded on an uninhabited island with giant crabs, living a miserable life of starvation!"

"Whether it's Pokémon battles or traveling, I'm just a novice!"

Wang Yao spoke from his heart.

"If you feel that you are too weak, then continue to work hard and continue to capture more Pokémon!"

"If you feel you don't have enough experience, then keep defeating new opponents and challenging different gyms to grow!"

Even as a time traveler, Wang Yao does not think that he is naturally superior to others. He is just more confident than ordinary people that he can reach the top of the mountain!

"A trainer's growth is like a rattle of bone stick! Today it can break rocks! Tomorrow it can penetrate steel!"

Wang Yao used Gala Gala as an example! He drank a bowl of chicken soup! This completely aroused Zhai Zang's fighting spirit!

"That makes so much sense!" Flames of fighting spirit flashed in Saizo's eyes!

"Ayao! You are so right! I was so short-sighted before! I actually defined the future of a trainer based on a person's background!" Saizo clenched his fists and his tone became firm again.

"Crack!" Even Crackle felt that his big bone stick had become harder!

The battle-hardened Gara Gara can already break rocks! And Wang Yao said it will be able to penetrate steel in the future!

So Gara Gara was very excited and wanted to find some steel-type Pokémon to try out the stick immediately!

"I want to fight! I want to capture more Pokémon! I want to challenge more gyms!"

Encouraged by Wang Yao, Zhai Zang, along with the equally enthusiastic Galagala, left the Gopher Forest, shouting slogans all the way!

……

And Wang, the spiritual mentor, Yao, did not waste his time after Zhai Zang left, and started planning the training plan for this afternoon.

"Zapdos! I'm counting on you!"

"Fuwu?" The released Zapdos listened to Wang Yao's request with some confusion.

Let me use my electric skills to train the giant crabs to improve their resistance to electric shocks...

Although it does make sense in theory!

But with the power of its electric skills...

Lightning Bird hesitated.

It's not that Zapdos is unwilling to help Wang Yao train the Giant Claw Crabs, but it's thinking...

——Does Wang Yao want to eat grilled octopus and grilled crab tonight?
