Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

"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!

Chapter 8: A chance encounter on the beach! The retired Mr. Jiang?

"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.
