Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

So Junsha rode the tricycle, carrying Wang Yao and Cati, and sped north along the main road of the city, encountering almost no obstacles.

It only took them ten minutes to arrive at an independent two-story house near the outskirts of the city.

——Bah!

"We're here! This is the director's home!"

Junsha's tone seemed particularly excited.

It has been a long time since she had such a great time driving in the city!

"..."

Wang Yao released his hands from Junsha's waist and got out of the back seat.

The road was straight all the way, so the bumps were not too exaggerated, but Junsha's driving style seemed a bit particularly aggressive.

Of course...it could also be that he had never ridden this type of sidecar before.

……

Ding dong——!

Junsha rang the doorbell.

"——Please wait for a moment!"

A somewhat vague voice came from inside the house.

After about a minute, Wang Yao heard the sound of slippers stepping on the wooden floor in the house.

Click!

The door was opened from the inside.

A short, fat old man with white hair appeared behind the door.

"Director! This is... Ah! Director, what happened to your teeth?"

Junsha was about to introduce Wang Yao to Director Baoba, but when she looked up, she saw that the other party was pouting and it seemed that all his teeth were gone!

"It's you! Um, I was just looking for my fake one...but I don't know where I lost it..."

Director Baoba's speech was a little unclear...apparently due to the lack of dentures.

"What! A thief actually stole your golden dentures?!"

"This is a major theft!"

Junsha's eyes suddenly became sharp!

Those gold dentures are the principal’s most conspicuous feature. They must have been targeted by a thief and stolen!

"Oh...it doesn't matter! It's just that the little thing is lying in the corner of the room!"

The headmaster explained while mumbling, but because of the bleed in his voice... it was a little hard to hear clearly.

The dentures just suddenly became missing this morning, and Director Baoba didn't take it seriously.

Maybe I just accidentally put it in a corner of the room before going to bed last night.

"Then let us help you find your gold dentures!"

Although it is not certain whether it is a theft case, Junsha naturally wants to help when citizens are in trouble.

"Oh, by the way... Director, let me introduce you - this is A Yao. Yesterday, he captured an entire poaching gang for the Wild Wilderness Area!"

"Not only is he very strong, he is also a very responsible trainer!"

Junsha introduced Director Baoba.

"Ou! You are really young and capable!"

Director Baoba exclaimed with admiration.

Although he had long since retired to the second line, the real work had been handed over to his administrator, Mr. Caesar...

But nominally, the wild wilderness area of ​​​​Qianhong City is still the property managed by Baoba.

[Note: Wild Wild Area, Hunting Zone, Jungle Village, Grassy Area, Pokémon Recreation Center, Safari Park, Wild Park... These are all different versions of translations... The basic translation in China is Wild Wild Area, and the Japanese version is generally called Hunting Zone. ]

"Ayao, I'm afraid that the director is unable to teach secret skills in his current condition..."

Junsha turned her head and spoke to Wang Yao in a low voice with a hint of apology.

Of course, teaching Pokémon skills in real life is not as easy as just throwing a disc over like in the game...it requires a combination of video explanations or on-site teaching.

Just like the skill disc that Wang Yao won in the lottery in Dead Leaf City... The main content was just a short video demonstration. In order to teach the giant crab to master [Pray for Rain], he called Silver Company's customer service number more than a dozen times.

Thanks to the explanation and guidance of the skill training experts hired by Silver Company over video calls, the giant crab was able to learn the skill of praying for rain during the special training in Dr. Oak's backyard.

Of course... Zapdos can also pray for rain, but in terms of teaching methods, it is definitely not as good as a professional Pokémon breeder.

"It's okay... I'll help look for it too!"

After all, he was asking for help, so Wang Yao naturally would not show any impatience.

I just hope to find the director's dentures as soon as possible... and let the Tyrannosaurus Rex learn super strength.

Hmm - why do I feel like I'm on a mission?

Wang Yao suddenly had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"... That's so long and cool!"

Director Baoba stepped aside and welcomed the two men in.

After Wang Yao and Junsha entered the house, they followed the living habits of Director Baoba and carefully searched the bathroom, dining table, bedroom, windowsill...all places where the dentures might have accidentally fallen...

"Wang..."

Even Katie didn't find any clues.

The two men and the dog searched inside and outside the house for half an hour but still found nothing.

"…How strange! Where did it fall to?"

The master bedroom on the second floor... Junsha supported her chin with one hand, thinking about what other places in the house had not been checked.

“…This window doesn’t seem to be locked.”

Wang Yao walked to the window sill of the bedroom on the second floor, opened the window and looked out.

Junsha walked forward, stood by the window and said, "... Could it be that the thief climbed in through the second-floor window and stole the director's gold dentures?"

"It's possible... After all, according to what the headmaster said, he usually takes off his dentures and places them on the bedside table before going to bed."

Wang Yao followed up with a reasonable guess.

"——Katie Dog!"

Junsha immediately called over the Catwoman who was sniffing out suspicious scents downstairs.

Chapter 109: The Denture Thief! and the Pokémon Village!

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

Katie was held up by Junsha under the arms and sniffed the scent on the windowsill.

"Sure enough! There is a smell here that belongs to someone else who is not the director or us!"

Junsha put down the Katie and said with certainty.

"But there was no smell on the floor of the room... So the criminal stole the gold dentures without even touching the ground?"

Wang Yao scratched his head and said.

"No feet on the ground?"

"It's flying. That requires a Pokémon that can fly, and it has to be small... and it has to flap its wings without making any sound, otherwise it will easily wake up the director..."

Junsha speculated along the lines of Wang Yao's thoughts.

The window is not very big, and the sleeping quality of the elderly is impaired... they are easily awakened by the slightest noise.

"…I see that Nimen seems to have caused some trouble?"

Director Baoba went upstairs. He just heard Junsha calling Houndoo to her side. This should be some important clue.

"It's like this... Director..."

Junsha told Director Baoba about Wang Yao and her own guess.

"Gray walks quietly... "

The headmaster suddenly frowned, as if he had thought of something.

"Director? Have you thought of any suspects?"

Junsha asked sharply.

"It's this kind of... well, it's the same as..."

Director Baoba explained slowly in a vague voice.

……

"Ninja Village - what is that place?"

Wang Yao only knew that the gym leader of Qianhong City, Aju, had a fighting style very similar to that of a ninja...or rather, he was a ninja.

But I have never heard of any ninja village in Qianhong City.

"This happened decades ago... before the Wilderness Area of ​​​​Crimson City was established..."

Although Junsha had never seen the Ninja Village in person, as an official of Qianhong City, she had learned some information about it.

It turns out that there is a small ninja village with a long history on the original site of the wild wilderness area.

But with the progress of urbanization... people in the village gradually moved to the city where life is more convenient...

The residents of the Ninja Village have tamed some wild Pokémon as partners in using Ninjutsu...

This kind of taming is different from the traditional Pokémon trainers. It is not about taming the Pokémons, but about using their power when needed.

Therefore, the ninjas did not take these semi-tamed wild Pokémon away with them.

However, because they are adapted to human domestication, these Pokémon choose to continue living in the village even after the residents of the Ninja Village leave.

The so-called Ninja Village gradually disappeared... and the uninhabited village that was left behind became a special [Pokémon Ninja Village].

Later, the Alliance built a wild wilderness area on this land for breeding Pokémon, and introduced a large number of Pokémon contained in other areas...

These include Pokémon rescued from hunter organizations, orphaned Pokémon that lost their parents in the wild... and Pokémon abandoned by trainers...

In short, it has become a Pokémon nursery with a rich population!

The problem arises at this time... Most of the Pokémon remaining in that ninja village are ferocious poisonous insects and snakes... They are often predators in the ecosystem.

The number of predators would be kept low by the number of prey in nature...

But after the Alliance took the initiative to introduce a large number of foreign Pokémon... the increase in food allowed them to begin to multiply rapidly.

The appearance of too many predators is not conducive to the recovery of the Pokémon population!

Director Baobab soon realized this problem and moved most of the Pokémon in the Ninja Village away, leaving only a very small number.

After all, the number of Pokémon in the wild area does not need to rely on the food chain... but is controlled by the trainers.

For example, Xiaozhi's thirty Kentaro...

But, just a week ago... Baoba heard from his good friend Aju that he had said something about his daughter...

At that time, Aju looked very distressed, saying that her nine-year-old daughter Axing had heard about the abandoned ninja village from somewhere...

He has been clamoring to help the Ninja Village Pokémon who were forced to leave their homes to return home...

And I think that the [Pokémon Village] made up of a group of old-time ninja companions is...very cool!

Okay - that does sound pretty cool.

But that's not the point... The point is that Axing pinned the blame of breaking up the Pokémon Village on Director Baobab.

He also threatened to "seek justice" for the Pokémon of the Ninja Village!

And Aju's family are all inheritors of Iga-ryu ninjutsu...Axing is naturally no exception.
