Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"You've worked hard, take a break and come over to eat something!"

After training from morning to noon, even Wang Yao, who was only participating in the command as a trainer, could not bear it anymore.

"Guji~"

"Crack..."

"..."

After receiving the order and lying down to rest, the cries of several Pokémon came one after another.

"Today's lunch is rice balls... for everyone." Wang Yao took out food from his backpack.

Before going out in the morning, Kenji's mother prepared simple seaweed rice balls for Wang Yao's elves.

Knowing that Wang Yao was going out for special training, Kenzhi's mother even added a small amount of salt and vinegar into the rice.

Wang Yao also took out the remaining seaweed and dried fish.

Although this lunch is not luxurious, it is filling and the specially made seaweed rice balls can also make up for the energy consumed during training.

"There are energy blocks in the game... and there are special Pokémon food in the anime... but judging from my previous life's memories, it seems that the giant crabs eat human food together with me?"

Wang Yao suddenly felt confused. Was he too frugal in the past?

But he didn't dwell on it for too long. Wang Yao took out a rice ball, chewed it carefully and swallowed it with some dried seaweed and water.

In his opinion, except for some rock-type and steel-type Pokémon that need to eat metal minerals, most Pokémon based on animals can be prepared according to human tastes.

As for malnutrition...you can make up for it by eating more tree fruits and natural Pokémon meat.

The fruit part is not so bad. Most of the fruit is not expensive and the varieties are complete. You can usually buy it in supermarkets or fruit stores...

However, the price of Pokémon meat sold through regular channels is too expensive!

The price of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan per pound has discouraged many people, and most ordinary people still rely on synthetic meat as their main source of meat.

As for the informal meat channels - as a professional Rockets cadre, Wang Yao feels that there is still a lot of room for operation.

Even...renewable parts such as the claws of giant crabs and the tentacles of octopuses are common cooking ingredients.

Of course, Wang Yao is not so crazy as to eat his own Pokémon... But if they fall off during a battle or are captured in the wild... Wang Yao doesn't mind helping them deal with these heavy physical burdens.

"Toucan, go take this rice ball to Coward." Wang Yao packed a rice ball and a small dried fish with a clean cloth and asked the Toucan to deliver them to Coward who was training alone.

In order to stay away from the crowd during special training, Wang Yao chose a beach on the other side of the island. This beach was several kilometers away from the empty space of the previous surfing hut, so Wang Yao had to ask the toucan to help deliver the goods.

Considering the physique of a cowardly bug, a rice ball and a dried weakling should be enough for it.

"Gaou~"

The gull gobbled its lunch, picked up the package, flapped its wings and flew towards the open space behind the surf hut.

"Gah~"

Not long after, the toucan gulls, having delivered the goods, returned to the beach where Wang Yao was.

"Gujiji~"

Along with it came the cowardly bug.

A few limbs crawled quickly, and the timid insect jumped off the bird's back.

"Gah~tui!"

The toucan gull also opened its beak and spat out the half-broken wooden stake in its mouth.

"Ah? Why did you bring the coward here too? Wait! This wooden stake!"

Wang Yao was confused at first, but then he saw the half wooden stake spit out by the toucan.

The broken ends of the wooden stakes were jagged, but traces of being cut by a sharp weapon could still be vaguely seen.

The marks on it seemed to have been cut and broken bit by bit after being swung around with several knives for a long time.

"Did you do this?" Wang Yao looked at the coward.

"Gujiji!" The timid bug stood up proudly, revealing two pairs of sharp claws hidden under its carapace.

"Uh..." Wang Yao looked at it carefully. The size of the cowardly bug's claws seemed to correspond to the marks on the wooden stake.

Can the power of an insect claw alone break a wooden stake that is almost as thick as itself?

Wang Yao felt that this was unrealistic.

He felt that Coward must have mastered some new skills.

"Show us how you broke the stake?" Wang Yao asked Cowardly Bug to repeat his previous operation.

"Gujiji!" The cowardly bug responded immediately.

Then, the cowardly bug quickly circled the half-broken wooden stake twice, as if looking for the weak point of the stake.

Afterwards, the timid bug found the right moment, raised its body slightly, approached the wooden stake, stretched out its little claws, and quickly waved a ray of silver light, which hit the wooden stake with a swish, leaving a cut about the length of a finger on it.

【Metal Claw】!

"So you have mastered a new skill... or you knew it before but were just not proficient enough to use it." Wang Yao speculated, touching his chin.

Walking to the side of the wooden stake, Wang Yao stretched out his hand to feel the power of the attack.

The notch should only go into the stake about half a fingernail deep.

The giant crab only chopped down a small tree of about ten centimeters. If it wanted to cut off a wooden stake with such an attack, it would probably have to release dozens of skills of the same power.

"It seems that you have not been lazy this morning." Wang Yao bent down and touched the tentacles of the cowardly bug to show encouragement.

"It's a pity that there is no illustrated guide, so I can't tell what skill it is." Wang Yao sighed.

It would be nice to have a talking meow around.

The Rockets team in Wang Yao’s memory did not have the trio, but now that the Rockets team is on the rise, perhaps they have been promoted.

"I'll talk to Auntie tonight and reward you with a curry rice!" Wang Yao kept his promise.

Compared to seaweed rice balls and dried fish, a steaming hot curry rice should be considered a big meal...

"Gurgle~" The cowardly bug didn't know what curry rice was, but being able to get Wang Yao's affirmation made him very happy.

So the cowardly bug made rapid chirping sounds and circled around the trainer.

"Okay... stop! Stop!" Wang Yao was almost dizzy. This guy was not that big, but how could he be so fast!

"After lunch break, you can build up your strength with the giant crabs." Wang Yao stopped the timid bug from running around and gave an order.

"Cool-coo-coo!" The cowardly bug jumped twice on the spot and looked very energetic.

……

Wang Yao reserved about an hour for lunch break.

"Why does it feel like something is wrong with the weather?"

Wang Yao raised one hand and looked at the clouds in the distance.

"Is it going to rain?" Wang Yao whispered.

"Toucan, can you see it in the sky? Are the clouds over there a little too thick?" Wang Yao motioned to the toucan to go up to the sky to observe.

Wang Yao felt that the weather seemed to change too quickly. It didn't seem to be a natural change. Perhaps there was a Pokémon influencing it from behind.

"Gaou!"

The toucan flapped its wings, flew high into the sky, and headed towards the clouds.

The flying speed of the toucan gull is not slow. After a few minutes, it has already approached the clouds.

Rain has already started to fall near the clouds, and the oncoming wind is gradually increasing.

But as a natural sea courier, this little rain is nothing to it. It uses its wings to quickly pass through the outer rainfall area.

But after going a short distance deeper, the storm around him became increasingly severe!

In the end, close to the center of the storm, even if the toucan flapped its wings with all its might, it could only slowly stop due to the obstruction of the wind and rain.

Soon, the overly severe storm completely interfered with its vision.

"Gah...Gah Owl!"

As a last resort, the toucan flew upwards, trying to get above the clouds to avoid the storm.

It was only after getting close to the clouds that it discovered that the clouds seemed too thick and filled with a dangerous atmosphere.

Thunder flashed in the clouds, and it seemed that some other mysterious power was accumulating. Although it didn't know what it was, its natural instinct told it that this was extremely deadly to it.

"Ga gull!" The toucan hesitated. Being naturally afraid of lightning, it did not dare to go forward to investigate.

On the sea surface, strong winds created huge waves on the ocean. Waves piled up one after another, their power gradually increased, and they were about to approach the island.

"Ga gull~" The toucan gull, through years of experience in the wild, keenly sensed that something was wrong.

So the toucan gulls quickly turned around and returned to the shore of Yeli Island, to the training beach where Wang Yao was.

Simply shaking off the wet feathers on its body, the gull quickly reported the news to the trainer.

"Ga gull! Ga~ga!" The toucan flapped its wings, anxiously trying to describe the scene in the distance.

"Calm down first, toucan..." Of course Wang Yao couldn't understand the toucan's language.

"So... that's a new storm, right?" Wang Yao asked in an inquiring manner to confirm the information.

"Huh? Huh!" The toucan thought for two seconds and nodded in agreement.

"But it is somewhat different from ordinary storms at sea, or you have noticed something unusual...right!" Wang Yao asked again.

"Ga! Ga gull!" The toucan nodded quickly this time, and it was obvious that this was the main meaning it wanted to convey before.

Wang Yao became even more certain that it seemed to be just as he had speculated, and there must be something unusual about the formation of the clouds.

"Is it hiding in the clouds? In this kind of weather - could it be a Zapdos?" Wang Yao speculated.

"Didn't you see anything in the clouds? Maybe it's some powerful Pokémon." Wang Yao continued to ask.

"Gaou..." The toucan shook his head.

It didn't dare get too close to the clouds.

Regardless of whether there are mysterious Pokémon, that kind of dark cumulonimbus cloud is filled with violent thunder. If it is a small and fragile creature with water and flying attributes, it will be unlucky if it really wants to join in the fun... If it is struck by lightning, it may not be able to survive even with ten lives.

"Well... in that case, the afternoon special training will be temporarily cancelled. Let's go back to the surfing hut first." Wang Yao never fights a battle without preparation.

According to the judgment of the toucan, the clouds that brought the storm were gradually approaching Yeli Island and would encounter it soon.

"Come back first..." Wang Yao took out the Poké Ball and collected the Giant Claw Crabs and the others.

"Let's go, toucan. No matter how hard it is for you to give me a ride." Wang Yao packed his backpack and climbed onto the toucan's back.

Wang Yao previously thought that the toucan’s back was too short and narrow and not suitable for carrying people, but after a morning of special training and testing, he found that it was actually still possible.

In fact, the evolved toucan has a very good load-bearing capacity. According to the load-bearing test done during the special training just now, Wang Yao found that the toucan can carry at least 200 kilograms of weight and fly high into the sky.

It's just for carrying one person. Although the sitting position may not be very comfortable, in an emergency, it can still take Wang Yao away.

In the original Alola story, Xiaozhi once rode a gull with special riding gear to help deliver fresh milk. [See the picture at the end of the chapter]

"Ga gull~" After all, the toucan had no experience in carrying people. It stood still at first with some discomfort, then flapped its wings and flew towards the surfing hut with Wang Yao on its back.

With the help of the toucan, Wang Yao quickly crossed most of the island and approached the surfing hut on the beach.

"Hey~Ayao——!"

Before he landed, Wang Yao heard someone calling him on the beach.

Obviously, there is only one person who can call him at this time.

Outside the surf hut, Kenji was carrying his surfboard and had already changed into swimming trunks.

He was waving towards Wang Yao.

Puff! Puff!

The toucan gull landed somewhat awkwardly. Apparently - despite its strong load-carrying capacity - it still needed more practice in its ability to carry people.

Wang Yao jumped off the bird's back and smoothed the feathers on the gull's back that were messed up.

"Although this is the first time you've carried passengers, you did a surprisingly good job!" Wang Yao encouraged.

"Ga gull!" The toucan opened its mouth and flapped its wings, looking very happy.

"Thank you for your hard work, Toucan! Come back!" Wang Yao took out the Poké Ball and put it back into his backpack.

"What's wrong, Kenji?" Wang Yao looked at Kenji curiously.

"Are you going surfing in this weather? It feels like a storm is coming soon..." Wang Yao asked with a frown as he looked at Kenji's outfit.

Although storms would bring more violent waves, Wang Yao always felt a little unsafe going into the water in this kind of weather.

"This is a huge wave! At least it's a wave that only appears once in ten years! What's a little storm compared to it!" Kenji looked excited.

"Look... they have also made full preparations for this huge wave!" Kenji turned his head and pointed to the other surfers on the beach.

"Ah?" Wang Yao looked in the direction Kenji pointed.

Sure enough, most of the tourists who were originally dressed casually now brought professional surfing equipment and gathered at the beach eager to try.

"But..." Wang Yao hesitated, wondering whether he should tell Jianzhi about the abnormality discovered by the toucan.

But Kenji seemed to be looking forward to the huge waves that this storm would bring.

"My Toucan... discovered that there seems to be a powerful Pokémon influencing the clouds of this storm. This is not a normal storm." Wang Yao still warned.

After all, the other party regarded him as a good friend and treated him to a nice dinner, so Wang Yao naturally had to tell what he needed to say.

"It was actually done by a Pokémon? What an incredible power..." Kenji frowned after hearing this, with a hint of amazement in his tone.

But his frown soon relaxed again.

"No wonder I didn't see any signs of huge waves before - even so, this is a huge wave that only appears once in a decade, how could I miss it!" Kenji still decided to take the risk.

After all, for surfing enthusiasts, they must have enough adventurous spirit. For Kenji, who is determined to become a surfing master, the huge waves are right in front of him - how could he easily retreat!

"I still think..." Wang Yao wanted to speak more clearly, but was interrupted by Jianzhi.

"It's okay! It's okay! And if it really is a Pokémon... we still have you!" Kenji said it was okay several times.

"...Ayao, you are the most powerful Pokémon trainer I have ever seen!" Kenji looked carefree and even grinned and gave Wang Yao a thumbs up.

"Uh... awesome, me?" Wang Yao was slightly speechless after hearing this.

Wang Yao: I am grateful for the trust from my fellow villagers on Yeli Island, but I have only been on the island for less than a month, and I have spent more than half of that time trying to survive on the deserted island...

Pokémon trainers and the like... they seem to be just good at righteous group fights.

"Okay, A Yao!... I'll leave the surfing hut to you. I have to go to the beach to warm up first!" After saying that, Kenji ran towards the beach without looking back.

"Why give it to me? Don't you still have your parents... um! Aunt? Uncle—what are you doing?!" Wang Yao was a little surprised by Jianzhi's words, and turned around to see!

What—Kenji’s parents are warming up!

Even faster than Kenji, the couple was already holding hands with half a foot in the sea!

Let’s not talk about Kenji’s father. Although he is old, he exercises regularly and maintains a strong body. It is reasonable for him to like surfing.

How come on the other side, Kenji's mother, who obviously doesn't look good at sports, has a short and fat figure and looks like a kind aunt, has already changed into a swimsuit and picked up a surfboard!
