Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Coward! Use Bug Resistance!"

Xiao Mao checked the skills of the cowardly bug and decisively chose the insect resistance that was not resisted by the water system and was the attribute of the cowardly bug itself, and launched an attack on the Magikarp!

"Gurg!"

The cowardly bug's body trembled, and a light green insect-attribute energy wave burst out from under its body!

Unlike Metal Claws, Bug Resistance is a large-range skill and can be released without touching the opponent.

puff--!

The Magikarp in the water was knocked back half a meter by the energy wave, and an expression of pain appeared on its dazed face.

"Keep going! Another round of insect resistance!"

Energy fluctuations continuously exploded the water surface and impacted the Magikarp underwater.

Because of its higher damage and attack attributes that cannot be resisted by Magikarp, Xiaomao only took Xiaozhi half the time to defeat Magikarp and successfully captured it by throwing the ball.

"See! This is what we call a battle to conquer!"

"If it was a Pokémon that could fight back... I'm afraid you, Ash, would have already been beaten back home crying! Haha! Hahahaha!"

Xiao Mao put his hands on his hips and laughed up to the sky.

"What are you so proud of? You only know one move, right? You're just luckier than me!"

Xiaozhi just thought that Xiaomao was lucky. If he had chosen this skill called Bug Resistance at the beginning, he could have won quickly!

“What do you know——!”

"I'm researching the attributes of Pokémon!"

Xiao Mao was irritated by the opponent's illiteracy. The reason why he only used one skill was because the cowardly bug only had two output skills!

"After all this talk, you're still the same as me!"

Xiaozhi waved his hand dismissively.

"——Use the insect resistance! Insect resistance!"

Xiaozhi imitated what Xiaomao had said when he was commanding the cowardly bug just now, in a sarcastic tone.

“Ugh…you—!”

Xiao Mao seemed to be really angry now.

"Alright! Come on! Xiaomao... you should also help Magikarp heal first."

Fortunately, Wang Yao interrupted the quarrel in time and gave Xiao Mao a bottle of medicine and a small bag of water Pokémon food.

"Magic Carp are easy to keep alive... Just feed them some leftover rice balls occasionally."

Wang Yao watched Xiao Mao apply medicine and feed the Magikarp, and added another sentence.

"... It doesn't matter if you don't feed them - they will pick up garbage and eat it in the wild anyway."

Wang Yao's words seemed a bit cruel, but they were the truth.

Magikarp has strong vitality and does not care even in sewage. It can survive just by filtering the mud and sand at the bottom of the water.

"No matter what, you're going too far..."

Xiaozhi showed a sympathetic expression.

"Magikarp! Don't worry - I won't let you eat garbage!"

Xiaozhi assured Magikarp solemnly.

“Gugu…”

Magikarp gave Xiaozhi a dumb look in response.

"Hahahaha! Eating garbage... you're just like me, Xiaozhi!"

When Xiao Mao heard Xiao Zhi's outrageous promise, he laughed so hard that his waist bent.

"If it were me, Magikarp, my dear baby! Even if it was a delicacy from the mountains and the sea! If you wanted to eat it, I would definitely bring it to your mouth!"

Xiao Mao squatted down and spoke to the Magikarp in the water with deep affection.

“Gugu…”

Magikarp gave Xiaomao a blank look in return.

"Hahaha! Idiot Xiaomao! He actually confessed to Magikarp!"

This time it was Xiaozhi's turn to taunt.

“…You bastard!”

Xiao Mao immediately pounced on Xiaozhi.

"——It's better than you!"

The two rivals butted their heads together, competing like Kentaro.

"Alright! Alright! Next I'm going to give the little Fire Horse a special training - do you want to come and watch?"

Wang Yao pulled the two people apart.

"What!? I want to see!"

"Hmph! I'll let you go this time!"

Wang Yao easily diverted the attention of the two little brats.

"Sharptooth Fish... continue to help the cowardly worm find some sparring partners!"

"I'll take the little fire horse to the back mountain for training!"

The wild Pokémon here are of very low levels, with Toothfish and Giant Claws watching over them, and the Fearworm can basically train itself.

The two little kids put away their precious Magikarp, shrunk the Poké Balls, and carefully hid them in their pockets.

Xiaozhi and Xiaomao, the two enemies, bickered all the way, and came to the rocky area in the back mountain with Wang Yao and Xiaohuoli.

"Let's get started! Little Fire Horse!"

Wang Yao quickly found a flat and wide rocky area.

The training for the little fire horse is very simple, and it can be summed up in one word - charge!

The little fire horse with flames all over its body sprinted back and forth in the open space in the rocky area, repeatedly practicing skills such as [Flame Wheel], [Charged Flame Attack], and [High-Speed ​​Movement].

When you get tired of running, stop and take a break, or practice some long-range output skills like [Flame Jet].

Although the training method is simple, the little pony with flames all over its body is much more attractive than the ordinary water cockroach!

After getting more familiar with Ponyta, Wang Yao also let Xiaozhi and Xiaomao experience the feeling of being a Ponyta knight respectively.

Although the one-meter-tall little fire horse could not support Wang Yao, who was so big, it was just right for the two nine-year-old kids.

"Hahaha!"

"Alas--!"

The two of them took turns riding the little fire horse for a ride, and in the end, because they didn't want to wait on the sidelines, the two rivals reluctantly rode on the horse together and cheered happily together!

……

The two little guys had so much fun that they reluctantly returned to the research institute with Wang Yao until dusk.

"Look at how dirty you are... why don't you go take a shower!"

Professor Oak looked at the two little guys with some distress.

Because they occasionally fell off the horses, both of them were dirty... but they were not injured.

After all, for the Pallet Town Superman, falling off the running little fire horse and then rolling for more than ten meters on the gravel-covered rocky ground... is as harmless as sneezing when going out.

"It can be seen that...these two guys are completely obedient under your discipline!"

When Xiaozhi and the others went to take a shower, Professor Oak secretly sighed to Wang Yao.

"This is really rare - after all, they are well-known for being naughty in the town."

Because he is busy with research, Dr. Oak actually neglects to pay attention to his grandson.

This also indirectly led to Xiaomao's somewhat offensive personality in the early part of the animation.

And even if Xiaomao looks mature, once he hangs out with Xiaozhi, he will be quickly infected and become the second daredevil!

"By the way... although your gull's injury has been effectively treated, it's better to send it to a more authoritative treatment institution!"

Professor Oak reminded Wang Yao.

His research institute did not have any Pokémon that specialized in healing. If it only relied on healing potions and scientific instruments, the subsequent recovery effect would become increasingly worse.

"Hmm... Regarding this, I have already thought of someone I can entrust it to."

Wang Yao looked worried... Although he was someone I could trust, I guess he would definitely get scolded by him...

"That's good...what are your plans next?"

Professor Oak nodded and asked again - he hoped that the other party could stay for a few more days so that he could have some peace and quiet while doing research.

"Hmm... The environment in Pallet Town is pretty good. After teleporting Owl away, I plan to stay for a few more days and train the other Pokémon I have."

Wang Yao stroked his chin and thought.
