Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

As Wang Yao gradually sailed into the depths of the sea, he felt as if he had returned to the feeling of drifting on the sea.

The only difference from before is that he is more confident now, but what remains unchanged is that he still can't help but examine his own insignificance in the waves that merge the sea and the sky.

Wang Yao looked back at the mountains and beaches that were slowly disappearing, and the color of the surrounding sea water was gradually changing from light blue to dark blue.

"Would you like to try fishing?"

Wang Yao hesitated for a moment but did not take out his fishing rod. He just adjusted his sitting position and looked at the sea with an empty mind.

Not far away, a group of young agate jellyfish swayed and floated past his team. It seemed that they were attracted by the scent of their own kind and gathered towards the poisonous jellyfish under Wang Yao.

But after getting closer, the agate jellyfish, sensing the breath of other Pokémon in Wang Yao's team, retreated in fear and quickly disappeared under the sea like a phantom.

"So you all lived in groups before you evolved..."

Wang Yao patted the jellyfish's head curiously.

“Stinger…”

The stinging jellyfish shook its tentacles. I don't know how to explain it...

Although before it evolved, it lived in groups like other agate jellyfish.

But once they find delicious food, they will compete with each other...

According to the customs of the tribe, only the strongest and most ferocious agate jellyfish can obtain sufficient food and the opportunity to evolve.

In addition, compared to the agate jellyfish that prefer to live in warm shallow waters, the evolved stinging jellyfish prefer to live in deeper and more complex rocky areas on the seabed.

Therefore, the evolved stinging jellyfish... often leave the group, carve out a territory in the sea on their own, and sometimes attack each other in order to seize territory.

Only during the mating season each year do they move out in large numbers.

At this time of year, the weak Pokémon in the entire sea area will become the target of hunting by the poisonous jellyfish in the breeding season.

If the megalodon is called a sea bully...the stinging jellyfish can also be called a sea gangster.

……

As the first sandbar came into sight, Wang Yao stretched and felt a little bored.

It was different from what I imagined... There were basically no Pokémon that would actively attack me along the way...

The only two encounters I had were a chance encounter with a giant flying fish that passed by, and a group of agate jellyfish that were scared away...

As a result, the timid bugs and sharp-toothed fish in the guard team have no chance to exercise at all.

After thinking about it, Wang Yao couldn't find the reason and could only attribute it to luck.

"Let's go to the island and rest for a while..."

Wang Yao jumped off the head of the venomous jellyfish and stepped back onto the beach with his two feet.

“Although I’m not drifting aimlessly… the moment I step on land is still the most reassuring.”

Wang Yao couldn't help but sigh.

This sandbar covers an area of ​​about 100 to 200 square meters and is generally long and narrow in shape. There is no other green vegetation except for seaweed attached to a few rocks.

“Eh…what is this?”

Wang Yao saw several neat sets of footprints on the other side of the sandbar, about thirty meters away from his landing point.

"Human footprints... well, slightly smaller than mine."

"…Are those duck feet next to it?"

Wang Yao analyzed the traces on the sandbar.

The area near the other party's landing point was a bit messy, but there were also a few clear sets of footprints and traces.

One set of footprints is of a human, and it should be barefoot. The other set is shaped like a duck's webbed feet, with three claws facing forward and one claw facing forward. There is a webbed foot in the middle of the claw, and it is also a Pokémon that walks upright.

Next to it there is also a trace of a heavy object being dragged, and it is all heading towards the sea.

According to the tidal patterns of the sandbar, these footprints appeared slightly earlier than Wang Yao arrived at the sandbar.

"Forget it... since he's already gone, there's no need to worry about it."

Wang Yao thought that the other party was just a trainer like himself, who was just temporarily resting on the sandbar.

After taking some portable rations to replenish the energy of several Pokémon, Wang Yao also took a few bites of the energy bar himself.

"You coward... there might be treasures in the sand here!"

Since he has nothing to do anyway, Wang Yao can let the coward have his own way this time.

"Guji?!"

The cowardly bug excitedly began to circle around the sandbar.

"Gujiji..."

The cowardly bug scurried about on the sandbar, digging a hole here and a hole there from time to time.

The two whiskers swung back and forth like a detector.

"I never saw you so active during the battle!"

Wang Yao smiled helplessly and ignored it.

……

We rested for more than ten minutes.

Wang Yao is also ready to set off again...

"Come here... let me see if you found any treasures?"

Wang Yao called over the timid bug who was still a little unsatisfied and asked him to show off his new collections.

"Gooji!"

The cowardly bug rustled out a bunch of odds and ends from underneath him.

"these are……"

Wang Yao squatted on the ground and picked and chose.

"——Can you really dig out pearls?"

Wang Yao picked out two pearls the size of fingernails and played with them under the gaze of the cowardly baby.

According to the classification in the game... this should be the most common small pearl, and above it there are rare categories such as [big pearls] and [ball-shaped pearls].

“This shape…”

Wang Yao picked up another diamond-shaped white cube.

"Could it be [Vitality Fragment]?"

Wang Yao had only seen complete [vitality blocks] in the store before, but it was said that complete vitality blocks were made from artificially refined vitality fragments, and compared to natural vitality fragments, vitality blocks had stronger therapeutic effects.

This time, the cowardly bug really picked up a lot of good things for Wang Yao...

In addition to the two pearls, there is also a vitality fragment and a red gem fragment of unknown type but looks very beautiful.

"I'll keep it for you first...you can ask someone to estimate the price when you get to the store."

"With the money, I can buy you some delicious dried fish~"

Wang Yao packed all the props into his backpack and stroked the coward's whiskers to show encouragement.

"Guji~"

The cowardly bug doesn't like to eat dried fish, but it is very happy to receive praise from the trainer.

"Okay...it's time to go...what is it?"

Wang Yao was just about to climb up the venomous jellyfish by stepping on the giant crab's claws, but suddenly he saw a figure suddenly jumping out of the sea a hundred meters away.

The figure seemed to have seen Wang Yao as well. After emerging from the water, it swam straight towards the sandbar, riding a blue water Pokémon.

"--Um?"

Seeing the visitor dressed in a cool swimsuit, Wang Yao felt that he was not a bad person.

So I decided to wait a while and see what the other party had to say.
