Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"Do you like spicy food too?"

After Xiao Feng ordered the dishes, she asked Wang Yao with surprise and curiosity.

You know... in her hometown Shuijing City, she is called a "cool beauty" by the local residents.

The reason she got this title is that in addition to her beautiful appearance, she is also very good at playing the clarinet.

Also - unlike other delicate and pitiful girls, her favorite food is pasta with spicy eggplant.

You know, not everyone can accept the spicy taste of dishes made from capsicum!

"Yeah... Not only me, the giant crab also likes spicy food!"

Wang Yao had heard before that if the captured Pokémon were nurtured with enough care, they would become more and more like their trainer.

Wang Yao and the giant crab have a natural understanding... at least when it comes to taste.

"It would be great to have the same flavor as Pokémon!"

Xiao Feng said enviously.

"My sea lion and Gotha duck can't stand the taste of spicy tomato at all."

Xiao Feng and her Pokémon don't have the same tacit understanding as Wang Yao and the Crab.

“When they first tasted the tamarind…fire came out of their mouths!”

"Hahaha~ That scene was really interesting..."

Xiao Feng described the scene to Wang Yao... and emphasized that "flames spewing out of the mouth" was not an exaggeration...

——Instead, flames really spewed out of his mouth!

"It's normal for each Pokémon to have different tastes... If you can't satisfy everyone, try adding some sweetness to spice it up."

"If we make it sweet and spicy, maybe more Pokémon will be able to accept it."

Wang Yao thought of his bottle of high-quality sweet food imported from the Sinnoh region and a specialty of the Three Bees!

——Those stingy gophers are so abominable!

I don’t know if Honglian Island, a tourist destination, sells sweets?

After all, it is an imported product from the Sinnoh region.

Wang Yao didn't buy this kind of rare goods when he was in Deep Gray City.

"Sweet? It seems like it would be a good idea to try..."

After thinking about Wang Yao's suggestion, Xiao Feng felt that it seemed to make some sense.

After all, she also likes sweets, but mostly as a snack after meals.

……

After a simple lunch, the two people with nowhere to go naturally chose to walk together.

"Thank you so much!"

Xiao Feng took the Poké Ball from Joey and tied it around her waist.

"Let's go, let's go to the hot spring hotel first..."

While eating just now, Xiao Feng already felt like salt grains were forming on his body, and he was now eager to set out to explore the store.

Wang Yao had also been enjoying the sea breeze for a while before, and he also felt a little sticky, but his situation was much better than Xiao Feng's.

But the two of them asked several hot spring hotels in succession, but they were all full.

Wang Yao was about to give up. In his memory, Xiaozhi seemed to have encountered a similar thing when he came to Honglian Island.

In the end, he was taken in for one night by Xia Bo, the master of the Honglian Gym.

But maybe Wang Yao's luck is better than Xiaozhi's group...

After many setbacks, the two finally found a bathhouse that could accommodate guests.

Since it is operated as an hourly room, this bathhouse does not have a reservation model like other boarding houses.

But the fee is a bit expensive...

If it is an independent hot spring bath, one hour of hot spring treatment will cost five thousand Baoke yuan.

But if you choose a large bath shared by many people... it only costs two thousand Baoke yuan per hour!

Wang Yao, who has always been frugal, of course chose the big bath!

The same is true for Xiao Feng...

So, Wang Yao changed into the bathrobe prepared by the store and walked into the men's bathing pool.

Xiao Feng was relaxing in the ladies' bath, soaking in the natural hot springs of Honglian Island.

……

“I feel completely relaxed!”

Xiao Feng came out of the bathhouse refreshed...

"That's great - when I return to Hoenn, I'll definitely try the hot springs in Kamahen Town!"

Xiao Feng has changed into a new dress.

"Where to go next? I'm afraid the other hotels and boarding houses on the island are full?!"

Xiao Feng asked Wang Yao for his opinion.

"I have already planned to camp in the wild..."

Wang Yao shrugged and handed over a bottle of juice and milk bought from a vending machine.

"But before that, I'm going to go to the local market and buy some ingredients and seasonings."

Wang Yao had lived in Dr. Damu's backyard for half a month, and the seasoning had been almost used up.

"Let's go together! I haven't camped in the wild for a long time!"

Xiao Feng cheered happily.

The two asked the owner of the bathhouse where the nearby comprehensive market was and set off according to the signs.

As a tourist city and local market, Honglian Island has a very comprehensive range of food ingredients.

After all, in order to satisfy the different taste demands of tourists from all over the world, not only are there a wide variety of meats, but even all kinds of rare condiments and exotic fruits are for sale!

But the price...

"What—ten thousand dollars?!"

Wang Yao was originally very happy to be able to buy the same sweet sweets in Honglian Island as in Kuye City...

But the price that doubled made him drop his jaw!

You should know that it only takes three days at most to take the ferry from here to Kuye Harbor!

Even though prices in tourist cities are a bit higher, Wang Yao still feels that it is a bit too unscrupulous.

"Damn it... After the gulls have grown their feathers... I'll open a route too. I can actually double the profit..."

Wang Yao looked at the dazzling array of ingredients on the shelves and the prices that made Xiao Gang's eyes widen... Who could stand this? !

However, compared to these ingredients and seasonings, Honglian Island also has cheap things.

"This one is nice..."

"Ah... this one looks great too!"

For example, Xiao Feng is now happily choosing various beautiful and cheap women's bathrobes.

"Ayao! What do you think of this one?"

Xiao Feng tried on a pink bathrobe in front of the mirror and asked Wang Yao for his opinion.

"Yes...it looks pretty good."

Wang Yao made a vague comment.

"Okay! Help me pack it all up!"

Xiao Feng looks like he has plenty of money.

Probably to highlight its characteristics as a hot spring resort, the yukatas here are sold at extremely low prices and of very good quality.

But Wang Yao didn't like this kind of wide and dragging sleeves... and didn't choose to buy it.

"Hey... help me wrap it up too!"

Although it was a bit expensive, Wang Yao still reluctantly bought the bottle of sweet sweetness... After all, he did miss the taste of [Ayao's Secret BBQ Seasoning]!"

He plans to have a good meal tonight.

Fortunately, apart from this bottle of Tiantian Mi, the prices of other seasonings such as oil and salt in the market are relatively normal.

Wang Yao also bought some cheap local fruits and vegetables as side dishes and after-meal snacks.
