Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

"This family... they all have the same personalities!" Wang Yao was speechless as he watched the family of three heading out to the waves together.

"Come out, stinging jellyfish, octopus barrel!"

After thinking for a while, Wang Yao summoned two underwater warriors in his hands.

"You go to the sea and help look after the surfers... If any dangerous Pokémon approach, you can help drive them away." Wang Yao instructed the two tentacle monsters.

"thorn~"

"Woo~"

After the two Pokémon responded, they moved their tentacles and slowly walked into the sea. Their underwater combat power was enough to intimidate most wild Pokémon.

As for those who cannot be defeated... then just leave it to fate. Wang Yao will not have any psychological burden.

After doing all this, Wang Yao didn't worry too much about the problem of thunderstorm clouds.

With the Pokémon he has, from their attributes to their actual combat power, if a powerful Pokémon that can affect the weather attacks, such as a Zapdos... he can only ride the bird and run away.

He had already done his best by letting the stinging jellyfish and the octopus bucket come forward to drive away some wild Pokémon that were washed ashore by the huge waves. It could be considered as an extra reward for Kenji's family for taking him in and providing him with food and lodging.

After taking another look at the dark clouds in the distance, Wang Yao turned around and went back to the surfing hut.

Before Wang Yao entered the house, he noticed that there was still a half-made bottle of juice on the sales window of the surfing hut.

Apparently, Kenji's mother was halfway through her work when she excitedly ran off to go surfing.

Wang Yao looked at the ingredients used to make the juice. Jianzhi said it was a special compound juice, but in fact the main ingredients were blue tangerine and pomelo.

The so-called "compound" is nothing more than adding some special-flavored tropical fruits that are special to the island, combined with mint water and ice cubes to create a refreshing taste.

If there is any "secret recipe", it may be the combination of real ingredients and ice cubes made by White Sea Lion.

Speaking of white sea lions…

"Didn't you go surfing with them?" Wang Yao saw the white sea lion lazily lying on the rattan mat on the floor of the surfing hut to rest.

"White~"

The white sea lion raised its eyelids without moving its body, but just barked in response.

"Okay..." Although Wang Yao didn't understand, he could see the laziness displayed by the white sea lion from its attitude.

The White Sea Lion should have been a partner who accompanied Kenji's father in traveling and fighting... It seems that the long-term life in a human family has made this Pokémon's nature become lazy.

In other words, Pokémon like the White Sea Lion are born with an elegant temperament and appearance. If they were replaced by humans... they would probably have the greasy image of a otaku uncle.

Wang Yao looked around the room and sat on a high chair behind the sales window.

This location allows you to see the beach and the scenery is nice.

Wang Yao picked up a glass from the cabinet next to him and poured himself a glass of juice.

"As a reward for helping to look after the store, a glass of juice isn't too much to ask for~" Wang Yao said to himself.

The juices on the counter were only squeezed separately and not mixed yet, so Wang Yao decided to improvise and mix a glass himself.

"Let's have some blue tangerine fruit first...wait, let me try it first..." Wang Yao poured a little bit of blue tangerine juice and took a sip.

"It seems to have no taste? The taste is a bit strange. Is it caused by the granular texture of the flesh?" Frowning, Wang Yao looked at the bottle of pomelo juice on the side.

I also poured a little into the cup and took a sip.

"Woo~ The pomelo is still sweet enough..." Wang Yao showed a satisfied expression.

The taste of pomelo is somewhat similar to that of pear, but it has a unique sweetness. Wang Yao feels that it would be a very good base for beverages.

"Then... start with half a cup of pomelo juice as a base, and then two teaspoons of blue tangerine juice to enhance the taste... what is this, it's green... let me try it!" Wang Yao began to mix his own compound juice formula.

In addition to the ingredients for juice, there were also some ingredients for curry rice on Kenji's mother's cooking table. Although Wang Yao didn't recognize them all, he picked out some that looked good and tasted good... and mixed them all into a large cup.

Pour the prepared juice into a large shaker, Wang Yao took out a few ice cubes from the freezer, shook it a few times, and poured it out again.

Because I didn't control the proportions well at once, I found that I forgot to add mint water after pouring it into the cup. I also found a plate of peach fruits that I had missed before in the corner of the cabinet... I added some of them in, resulting in about two cups of water in the end.

"Let me have a taste first... huh?!" Wang Yao took a sip of the compound juice he mixed himself.

"It tastes pretty good!" Wang Yao's eyes lit up after tasting the new flavor, and he found that the juice he made seemed to be no worse than that made by Kenji's mother.

Because he had a sudden idea and added a pinch of sea salt, the flavor of the compound juice became even more special, and drinking it gave you a pleasant feeling like a sea breeze blowing on your face!

Just like that, Wang Yao drank juice, hummed songs, looked at the sea view, and felt the sea breeze.

suddenly!

A slightly old voice came from the side of the sales window.

"Little brother, please give me a glass of our signature juice!"

The person who spoke was an old man in his sixties or seventies with brown hair and wearing a blue casual shirt with a coconut tree print.

As he spoke, the old man took out a twenty-yuan note from his pocket and handed it through the window.

Pokémon coins are the universal currency in the Pokémon world, and their purchasing power is similar to that of the Japanese yen in the previous life. For example, the starting price of a taxi in Miare City is 710 yuan, which is similar to the starting price of a taxi in Tokyo, Japan.

This old man is obviously a regular customer, because at Kenji's surf shack, a cup of compound juice costs twenty takoyaki yuan.

"Uh..." The old man's movements were too natural, causing Wang Yao to be unable to react for a moment and take the banknote inexplicably.

After he realized what was happening, he scratched his head in distress.

"Um, the signature juice hasn't been prepared yet...but our store has launched a new flavor of compound juice. Would you like to try it, old man?"

"Oh, really? I'd really like to taste it!"

The old man looked curious.

He has lived on Yeli Island for more than ten years after his retirement. Apart from the beautiful scenery and leisurely life here, what satisfies him most is Kenji's compound juice. He did not expect that there are new models launched now.

"In that case... here, please." Wang Yao had already prepared two cups.

In fact, Wang Yao was quite confident about the juice he made and was looking for someone to evaluate it.

He also took out a clean glass, poured the prepared compound juice from the shaker, and considerately inserted a straw into it, then handed it to the old man.

Because a lot of ingredients were added that even Wang Yao himself couldn't tell the difference, the whole glass of juice appeared a strange blue-gray color, and there were some fluorescent particles floating in it.

"Hmm...this taste! This texture!" After the old man took a bite, a look of shock appeared on his face.

“It’s as if a huge wave is swooping past right before my eyes! This refreshing feeling… is like I am the incarnation of the sea!” the old man boasted.

"That's an exaggeration~ Haha... Hahaha!" Wang Yao didn't expect the customer's evaluation to be so high, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

"It's really good, this glass of juice... reminds me of the feeling of riding a surfboard and riding on the waves when I was young..." The old man seemed to be a surfing enthusiast as well.

"I'm glad you like it... Old man, do you like surfing too? Just like Kenji and his family." Wang Yao discovered that the tourists on this small island all came for surfing.

"Don't look at me as I look old and frail now... When I was young, I was also a surfing star with thousands of fans!" The old man spoke with a smile, as if he was bragging.

"Surfing..." Wang Yao rested his hands on the counter, supporting his head.

He had never surfed in his previous life. In fact... he grew up in an inland city and had only been to the beach a few times before he traveled through time.

Even when he happened to go to the beach, Wang Yao would just stroll on the beach wearing shorts and beach shoes.

But given his personality, he actually doesn't like to participate in extreme sports like surfing.

I didn’t expect that I would experience such an exciting experience as a plane crash and surviving on a deserted island right after arriving in the Pokémon world…

Especially after experiencing a shipwreck, he longed for life on land even more.

In short, Wang Yao now just wants to return to Guandu as soon as possible and start a normal land life.

Get promoted and get a raise~ Become the boss soon~ White Hole! A white tomorrow is waiting for Wang Yao!

He wants to inherit the will of Boss Sakaki and become...the King of the Earth!

"...I have another disciple in Binu City. I don't know if he has completed the challenge on Big Tuesday...Hey! Young man! Are you listening?" The old man was recounting his glorious history in the past.

But Wang Yao was immersed in his fantasy about the future and was a little distracted, so he didn't hear much.

"Oh... in Binu City... what disciple? Challenge, right? I'll go check it out for you when I have time." Wang Yao vaguely extracted the key words and asked casually.

"His name is Toshikawa Toku. I haven't seen him for nearly forty years... But a few years ago, I heard from a tourist that... He has become a well-known surfing master in the Kanto region! This kid... has lived up to my expectations."

The old man told Wang Yao the disciple's information.

"Minchuante? Okay, I remember it. It's a strange name... By the way, my name is A Yao, old man - what's your name?" Wang Yao perked up a little and asked.

After chatting for such a long time, he still didn't know the other person's name. Since he was helping to contact someone, he naturally needed to know both parties' names.

"Me? If you meet him, just call me 'Mr. Jiang'... He will remember it. Tell him that I am waiting for him at Yeli Island. There are also good waves here. You can come and challenge yourself when you are free." Mr. Jiang took a sip of juice and spoke slowly.

"And... the juice is good. You must have mixed it yourself, kid!" Mr. Jiang spoke up and exposed Wang Yao's previous lie.

He has lived on the island for more than ten years, and the recipe of the specialty juice at Kenji's Surf Shack has never changed.

"I've been seen through...Haha! Anyway, as long as it tastes good, that's enough." Wang Yao didn't feel embarrassed about being exposed.

Mr. Jiang didn't care too much about this. He actually thought that the juice was worth the money.

"You're right... As long as it tastes good, that's all. I hope you still remember the recipe... Otherwise, I won't be able to drink it next time!"

Mr. Jiang finished his juice and placed the glass on the counter by the window.

"Recipe? Uh..." Upon hearing this, Wang Yao hurriedly began to look for paper and pen.

There was no ordinary banknotes to be seen at the moment, but there was natural paint for repainting surfboards in the corner of the hut. Wang Yao found a piece of waste cardboard, dipped a small wooden stick in the paint, and started writing on the cardboard.

He still had some impression of it, so he had to take this opportunity to write down the order and proportions of the ingredients he had prepared previously.

[Half a cup of pomelo juice, two spoons of blue tangerine juice, two spoons of green juice, a small half spoon of gray seasoning powder for curry rice... crush a solanum seed, extract the flavor and sift it out... add three ice cubes, mix and shake well, then add the crushed peach pulp... divide it into 80% of the cup capacity, fill it with mint water... and finally add a pinch of sea salt to enhance the flavor. ]

There were even some things in this recipe that even he didn't know what they were...If he didn't write down the recipe, he would definitely not be able to make the same taste.

He would have to ask Kenji's mother what those colorful ingredients in the kitchen were in order to complete the recipe.

"Huh... Fortunately, I remember the approximate dosage..." Wang Yao looked at Mr. Jiang gratefully.

Wang Yao himself also likes this accidentally blended compound juice flavor, and he will make some for himself if he has the chance in the future.

"The waves are pretty good today... although not as good as Big Tuesday, they will still be rare huge waves..." After Mr. Jiang finished his juice, he sat on the chair for entertaining guests outside the surfing hut and looked at the sea leisurely.

At this time, the sea was becoming increasingly violent, and the waves were visibly getting higher and higher.

But at the same time, the sky darkened.

The storm is approaching Yeli Island.

Big waves and storms are always a part of life, and the surfers on the beach are apparently used to it.

"It's going to rain soon." Wang Yao mentioned.

As for the matter of the mysterious Pokémon in the clouds, Wang Yao did not say much.

"How can it be such a coincidence...I just arrived at this Yeli Island and I encountered a special Pokémon that can summon a storm." Wang Yao muttered to himself.

At this time, the tourists in the sea were in high spirits. Waves of three or four meters had appeared. Many tourists with good surfing skills were standing on surfboards, surfing in the waves.

The surfing hut where Wang Yao was located was built on a higher platform on the island, nearly a hundred meters away from the shore and more than ten meters above sea level.

At this time, you can hear from afar the cheerful shouts of people playing in the sea.

……

In the sky far away from Yeli Island, a yellow bird Pokémon that is more than three meters long, has lightning-shaped feathers and is full of electric light... is hiding in the thick clouds and taking a rest.

"Fuwu..."

Just as Wang Yao guessed, the cause of the abnormal clouds this time was a lightning bird!

But the current condition of this lightning bird doesn’t seem to be very good!

A series of burnt marks like those from being burned by fire appeared on its back, and its originally bright yellow feathers were now blackened in large areas, as if it had just experienced a great battle and had not yet recovered.

"Fuwu!"

The lightning bird made a low cry again. In order to avoid the powerful enemy, it had to maintain a dark cloud to cover its body.

But the previous battle had already consumed most of its physical strength, and maintaining the dark clouds was constantly consuming its little remaining physical strength.

Today's Zapdos must find a place to land and use its special move [Feather Roost] to restore its strength.

The nearby Yeli Island is the best choice.

It’s a pity... the opponent won’t give it this opportunity!
