Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

Aren’t the giant crabs playing island survival just like me?

It was only after arriving at Yeli Island that I felt at peace for a few days, but I did not give up on training them!

"Maybe it's just that you, Yao, are too relaxed about their diet... eating too much and not exercising will also affect the health of Pokémon~" Joey reminded with a smile.

"Um...thank you! I'll pay attention to it!" Wang Yao didn't feel that was the case, but still expressed his gratitude.

Wang Yao thanked Miss Joy for her care on behalf of the giant crabs in a daze, and returned to the room on the second floor with doubts.

"Come out! Giant crab!"

Wang Yao released the giant crab.

He touched the shell of the giant crab and measured the height of its carapace.

"It seems to be a little bigger... There's no reason?" Wang Yao was a little confused.

After a detailed comparison, Wang Yao found that the giant crab was about five centimeters taller than when the plane crashed. As a crab, its horizontal shell was also longer and wider.

Then I released the Arbok and the Toucan and checked their bodies one by one.

The whole room suddenly became crowded, and Arbok could only squeeze to the head of the bed and curl up.

Wang Yao also discovered something unusual.

The waist of the Arbok has become bigger, its scales have become thicker, and the feathers of the toucan have become softer and more shiny.

"Did you secretly add extra food to my meal?" Wang Yao frowned.

As a trainer, he ate dried fish and seaweed every day during those days at sea!

Although he hadn't weighed himself, Wang Yao's original belly fat had disappeared due to hunger, so he must have lost a lot of weight.

"Goo-chi?"

"Chapbo?"

"Gaou?"

The three Pokémon denied it in unison, wondering why their trainer asked that question.

"Although I have asked you to exercise frequently during this period... I don't think I have paid special attention to the food..." Wang Yao supported his chin with one hand, thinking.

He is not a professional Pokémon breeder. He only cares about what he eats and what Pokémon eats.

Even when at sea, the giant crabs pulling the rafts often dive to hunt on their own.

At least as far as Wang Yao could remember, there was no record of these Pokémon overeating.

It was only today in the Pokémon Center cafeteria that they were able to taste real Pokémon food.

What I have eaten the most in the past month are the dried fish and seaweed collected on the deserted island.

There were also a few cans of beans that were salvaged from the wreckage.

"...Could it be dried fish made from croaker?" Wang Yao speculated.

In order to prepare food for going out to sea, he asked the giant crabs and stinging jellyfish to catch a large number of tench, dry them and carry them as dry food.

Moreover, Wang Yao himself basically ate dried seaweed and canned beans. Dried mullets were too hard for him to chew, and he could only nibble on a couple of them occasionally to relieve his boredom.

In the end, most of them were taken away by a few Pokémon as snacks.

Because there were too many reserves, they didn't finish eating until they boarded the Sea Flame Horse. However, the giant crabs only ate them as snacks, and their main meal was human food similar to Wang Yao's.

"Although the dried fish has not yet been officially included in the Pokémon protected list, it is a real Pokémon after all. Moreover, as a deep-sea fish, it is rich in nutrients and happens to be included in the natural diet of giant crabs." Wang Yao focused on the dried fish.

Most of his Pokémon are water-type, and there are records of wild Arbok preying on fish Pokémon. Eating squid is naturally a normal state of the Pokémon ecosystem.

"But...whether in Alola or Noli Island, people are not particularly keen on eating mullets. Can they get fat just by eating dried fish for a few days?" Wang Yao was still a little unsure.

"Although I don't know what's going on...but it's definitely a good idea to eat more meat." The reason why giant crabs are overweight is not clear, but Wang Yao thinks that meat is essential in diet.

Maybe it's because they ate too much synthetic meat in the past, causing the giant crabs to be malnourished, and now they are just supplementing too much at once.

"Since you're just getting fat, you should exercise more often! Or, eat more natural fruit while eating meat..."

Wang Yao felt that he had found the answer.

What professional Pokémon recipes? They’re all fake!

The real goodies on the table are written in the League’s Pokémon Protection Law!

Chapter 22: Pokémon Club and Fisherman!

Because he had slept for a few hours in the afternoon, Wang Yao didn't feel sleepy at night.

Wang Yao opened the illustrated book and checked the time, realizing it was only half past nine, so he decided to go downstairs for a walk.

When he arrived at the lobby, Wang Yao saw Miss Joy looking sleepy but still insisting on being on duty at the front desk.

Thinking there was nothing to do, Wang Yao approached and started chatting.

No! Don't get me wrong - I, A Yao, am not that kind of squinty-eyed man who is obsessed with sex!

Although Joey from Vermilion City is very cute and gentle, he seems to be a perfect love partner!

But A Yao is an ideal and ambitious Pokémon trainer!

Women - they will only slow down his growth!

(Except true love)

(Except for rich women)

(Rich Lolita also...)

Cough!

All in all... Wang Yao really just couldn't sleep for the time being and wanted to find someone to chat with.

"Ms. Joy, you are still on duty so late."

Wang Yao poured two glasses of water from the water dispenser in the corner, walked to the front desk, and handed one to Joey.

"Thank you..." Joey cheered up a little, took the cup and took a sip.

"Usually, it's me and Chandler who take turns, and it's my turn today. However, if no trainer comes to ask for help after half past ten, I will go to rest first... and you will need to ring the bell to wake me up then." Joey explained his job content to Wang Yao.

"Swoosh! It sounds like it's quite hard work." Wang Yao nodded.

"I heard that the gym leader in Vermilion City is quite strict with trainers. Maybe because of this, more people go to the Pokémon Center to seek treatment every day?" Wang Yao thought of the pile of charcoal he encountered when he came out of the gym today.

"Yes... Mashishi's Raichu is very powerful! If it were a novice trainer, he would show no mercy to him..." Miss Joy showed some concern appropriately.

"I once talked to the owner of the museum, Ma Zhishi, but his attitude was very firm..."

"However, after many new trainers suffered setbacks, the reputation of the Vermilion Leaf Gym spread, and now occasionally one or two trainers who don't know the truth will suffer serious injuries."

Joey clearly opposed Ma Zhishi's behavior of bullying the weak, but since the other party did not violate the league regulations, there has been no good solution.

Therefore, Joey often introduces the situation of the Vermilion Gym to new trainers who come to the Pokémon Center or trainers from other places who are unaware of the situation.

"Ayao, although your Pokémon are of good levels, most of them are Water-type Pokémon. They are not a good choice against the Witherleaf Gym which is mainly Electric-type." Joey remembered the records when he checked Wang Yao's Pokémon before.

Wang Yao, who owns six fully staffed Pokémon, naturally does not seem to be as strong as a rookie trainer.

But attribute restraint is also a key factor. As a nurse, Joy does not want to see more trainers or Pokémon get seriously injured in battle.

"Thank you for your concern... I understand this, so..." Joey mentioned the attribute restraint, which reminded Wang Yao of the sleeping mushroom.

He took out the Poké Ball of the Sleepyhead and released it.

"Gumulu~" The Sleepy Mushroom appeared on the table at the front desk, making a sound full of energy.

"This little guy is a sleepy mushroom. Because it is active at night, it is always drowsy during the day." Wang Yao picked up the sleepy mushroom and showed it to Joey.

"Ah... I was wondering why I couldn't wake him up during the examination. So this is what happened..." Joey held his face in his hands and said with sudden realization.

"Sleepytoa? What a cute Pokémon~" Joey stretched out his fingers and teased the Sleepytoa.

"…Sleepy Shroom is a Pokémon I captured by chance in the Alola region. Since it is not good at Pokémon battles, I recently had the idea of ​​exchanging it." Wang Yao placed the Sleepy Shroom on the table at the front desk.

"Gumulu?" The Sleepy Mushroom strolled on the counter for two steps, then looked at Miss Joy curiously.

"Gumulu!" The Sleepy Mushroom seemed to have discovered a new toy.

As if feeling that Miss Joy was a kind-hearted new friend, Sleepy Mushroom happily stretched out his hands towards Miss Joy, and his pair of dark eyes narrowed into slits.

"It's so cute... It feels even cuter than the Eevee in the Pokémon Club - ah! That's right! The Pokémon Club!" Joey hugged the Sleeping Mushroom in his arms and performed the Joey version of [Rub Cheek] on it.

"Gumulu~" The Sleepy Mushroom fell into a charming state.

"If it's a Pokémon Club, maybe we can find someone willing to exchange Sleeping Shrooms!" Joey suggested.

"Pokémon Club... I seem to have heard of this name." Wang Yao tried hard to recall.

"The full name is [Pokemon Fans Club]!" Miss Joy introduced to Wang Yao.

"This club is a place for people who like Pokémon to communicate and show off their collections. Generally, members prefer unevolved, cute Pokémon! There are many children playing with Pokémon in the club."

"…It is said that the 'Gorgeous Contest' that is very popular in the Hoenn region is hosted by people from the club!"

Miss Joy summarized the information she knew and told Wang Yao.

After hearing the news about the gorgeous competition, Wang Yao seemed to remember some plots. It seemed that one of the referees of the gorgeous competition in the animation was the president of this club.

"Cute Pokémon... I would rather exchange with Pokémon that are good at fighting." Wang Yao frowned. What he needed was a strong and handsome Pokémon, not a Garden Baby.

"After some Pokémon evolve, their appearance and size will become too large... If we are not careful, they may hurt the children who come to play here. Maybe someone is willing to exchange them for your Sleeping Mushroom!" Joey explained.

"There is a club in Dead Leaf City. If I'm free tomorrow, I can take you to see it!" Joey also likes the Sleeping Mushroom very much. Since Wang Yao wants to exchange it, Joey also hopes to keep it in Dead Leaf City.

After all, because of the Vermilion Gym, Joey in Vermilion City is under too much work pressure, and occasionally goes to the club to interact with those cute Pokémon to relieve stress.

If there is a sleepy mushroom, the club will become more cute!

"It sounds good. Okay then..." Although Wang Yao didn't hold out much hope, he didn't reject Miss Joy's proposal.

Because he remembered some relevant information about this club - it seemed to be full of young Pokémon such as Pikachu, Pikachu, etc.... Even if they were fully evolved, they seemed to be at the same level as stray dogs on the roadside.

"...Sleepy Shroom will be very energetic at night. I usually release it to guard the night in the wild. If you don't mind, Miss Joy, you can let Sleepy Shroom accompany you on duty tonight." Seeing that Joy and Sleepy Shroom have such a close relationship, Wang Yao was too lazy to put the Sleepy Shroom back into the Poké Ball.

"That's great! Of course I don't mind~right... Napkin!" Joey smiled and held Napkin in his arms, rocking him gently like a baby.

"Gumila~" The Sleepy Mushroom still looks as cute as ever.

……

There has been some progress in the arrangement of the sleeping mushroom, but Wang Yao is not feeling sleepy yet.

Miss Joy was also immersed in the interaction with the Sleepy Mushroom, so Wang Yao thought about going out for a walk.

Because the Pokémon Center is near the port, Wang Yao naturally went to the seaside pier first.

I thought there would be few people at the pier after 10pm, but I didn't expect it to be so lively at this time.

"It's hooked! It's hooked!" A middle-aged man named He Yan, wearing a red vest and a baseball cap, pulled the fishing rod excitedly.

The waves in the water surged, pulling the fishing reel's spool with a rattling sound, as if it was a big fish.

"As expected of Kazuhiko, this is the third fish tonight!" His fishing friend Keizang also paid attention to his catch.

“But the first two times were both Magikarp… Could it be Magikarp again?” another fishing friend, Takafumi, joked.

The people who would appear at the seaside pier during this period of time are naturally a group of fishermen.

Wang Yao walked a few steps closer and stood behind the fishermen, watching with interest the tug-of-war between the middle-aged man and the mysterious Pokémon underwater.

"It's emerged from the water - it's a Magikarp!" Keizo, who was watching from the side, saw a golden dorsal fin and red scales emerging from the sea.

"Another Magikarp..." Kazuhiko was also a little disappointed. He had already caught two Magikarp tonight!

However, disappointment aside, the fun for anglers lies in the exhilarating experience of struggling with such a big fish!

It can be said that fishermen in the Pokémon world are much happier than those in the real world... because any Magikarp here is a giant fish with a body length of one meter!

Kazuhiko pulled with the Magikarp underwater for a while, and when he felt the power from the fishing line weakened, he threw the Magikarp out of the water in one go and skillfully threw a Poké Ball to catch the Magikarp.

Perhaps because he had consumed too much energy just now, the Magikarp in the Poké Ball did not struggle much and was successfully subdued by Kazuhiko.

The Poké Ball also fell onto the sea.

"Got it!" Kazuhiko replaced the magnetic bait on the fishing rod, then accurately threw the Poké Ball floating on the sea and put it into his backpack.

"Little brother! Do you like fishing too?" He Yan naturally noticed that Wang Yao had been watching for a while. Now that he had his hands free, he turned around and greeted Wang Yao.
