Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

"Okay... I have completely forgotten about it!" Wang Yao felt a chill on his back and shouted immediately.

"Oh my... I slept too late last night. I feel a little sleepy now. Let's go back to the room and take a nap after exchanging Ponyta..." Wang Yao changed the subject in a stiff tone, quietly broke free from Joey's grip on his collar, and walked towards the Pokémon Center on his own.

"You're so energetic... little Joey..." President Masuda followed Joey slowly.

"Huh?" Joey glanced back inadvertently, and the fierce look in his eyes made President Masuda shudder suddenly.

"President... please walk faster too! The work at the Pokémon Center is very busy." Miss Joy said in a flat tone.

"Uh! Yes!" President Masuda's old legs immediately took two more steps and chased after Wang Yao.

……

……

“Beep!”

“Beep!”

As the communication switch was activated, the little fire horse teleported from the ranch successfully exchanged communications with Wang Yao's sleeping mushroom.

"Then I'll take the Sleeping Mushroom..." President Masuda took back the Poké Ball containing the Sleeping Mushroom.

"Ponyta! You will travel with me from now on!" Wang Yao also retrieved the Poké Ball containing Ponyta.

"Ayao! Please take good care of Charmeleon! I hope you can train it to be better than my Flamehorn!" President Masuda looked at the Charmeleon's Poké Ball in Wang Yao's hand with some nostalgia and instructed.

"As the offspring of your Fiery Pony, I think that Ponytail will have the same wonderful journey as its mother! I will help it become stronger all the way!" Wang Yao said seriously, feeling the slight beating of the Poké Ball in his hand.

"Come out! Little fire horse!" Wang Yao released the little fire horse.

"唏伦~"

With a clear neigh, a handsome and agile little fire horse appeared in front of everyone.

Judging from its body shape, it is just an ordinary off-white pony that is barely one meter tall, but the burning flaming mane from its head to its tail and limbs shows its extraordinaryness!

The little fire pony had just been teleported from the ranch. Before the teleportation, the ranch manager had already told it in advance that he would leave the ranch and go on a trip with a trainer.

This is also what the little fire horse, who has always been eager to go out and run freely away from the pasture, is looking forward to!

But at this moment, Ponyta suddenly left its mother and appeared in the Pokémon Center in Vermilion City, far away from its hometown. Its front hooves were still digging the ground uneasily.

"Ponytail! I am your trainer! Please give me your guidance!" Wang Yao smiled and approached Ponytail, slowly extending his hand.

Wang Yao did not rashly touch the burning part of the little fire horse, but gently stroked the horse's shoulders and neck.

Only trainers with a telepathic connection could touch Charmander's flames without getting burned. He didn't expect to be able to do that with Charmander the moment they met.

And unlike Charmeleon and Charmeleon, which also have flames on their bodies, Charmeleon cannot control their flames! Even the closest trainers will be burned by touching their flames!

Wang Yao gently stroked the white hair on the little fire horse and felt a warm heat wave coming from the flames on the mane.

The little fire horse, who was extrovert by nature, was not afraid of humans. At this moment, he lowered his head and sniffed Wang Yao's scent carefully.

"Hiss~" The little fire horse remembered Wang Yao's smell.

"Little Fire Horse! From now on, you must practice well with A Yao. When you evolve into a Flame Horse, you will definitely surprise your mother!" President Masuda earnestly advised Little Fire Horse.

"Ayao! Ponyta is the best Pokémon species at running. When it was on the ranch, it would run around in the mountains all day long, jumping over the weeds that grew tall every day as exercise."

"...You can let it out more often and let it release its nature through running. This is also very helpful for improving the level of the little fire horse!" President Masuda told Wang Yao about his experience in breeding the flame horse.

In fact, most of the skills that the little fire horse can learn by itself are related to movement and running, from high-speed movement to the most powerful fire move it can master - Flash Flame Charge!

All of these can only be practiced by the little fire horse while running!

"Is that so? Okay... I will do it!" Wang Yao nodded and memorized all the key points of cultivating the little fire horse mentioned by President Masuda.

Chapter 25 Communicator! With Wang Yao in the tree!

After the exchange, Joey continued with another busy day at the Pokémon Center.

In order to facilitate the activities, Wang Yao and President Masuda came to the spacious backyard of the Pokémon Center.

When they arrived at the open space in the backyard, Wang Yao released the giant crab and let it meet the new fire horse.

"Guji?" The giant crab curiously stretched out its claws and greeted the little fire horse.

When Crabbean and Wang Yao were in Team Rocket before, they had seen wild Charmeleon and Flametroon... and had even fought against them. Due to the attribute advantage, he easily defeated Charmeleon and its evolved form Flametroon, so he didn't find it too strange at this time.

"Neigh~" The little fire horse curiously circled the giant crab, dancing with its four hooves and jumping and running happily.

This was the first time that this creature, born on a grassland pasture, had seen a water-type Pokémon.

And it’s such a big water crab!

Especially the huge crab claws, they feel heavier than it!

"Giant Crab, the little fire horse is only one year old now, you have to help take care of it in the future!" Wang Yao ordered the giant crab.

"Guji!" The giant crab blinked thoughtfully.

It’s just entertaining kids—easy!

"Porro porro~"

The giant crab spit out a string of bubbles, which flew in the air and looked colorful under the refraction of light, which really attracted the little fire horse to chase after it.

On the grassland where it lived before, apart from its mother, Charmeleon, there were only some ordinary Pokémon such as Kentaro and Tootsie. The young Charmeleon had never been exposed to these new things.

"Well done! Giant crab, I didn't expect you to be so good at coaxing children!" Wang Yao happily patted the giant crab's shell as encouragement.

"Guji~" The giant crab spit out bubbles even more happily.

The little fire horse has a very strong jumping ability. With just a series of small steps, it can easily cross an open space of six or seven meters wide.

It can even jump up and use the flaming mane on its head to burn and burst the bubble ball that has already flown to a height of five meters!

Although there have been records from trainers who have seen wild Charmander leap with all its might when threatened by a powerful enemy, and able to leap a 300-meter-wide canyon to the other side in an instant, this has not been verified.

[The original Pokémon Encyclopedia said that the height of Ponytail's jump can "easily" fly over the Tokyo Tower (332.6 meters), which I think is too outrageous... It was changed to span the canyon, and it was a rumor. ]

"Whee! Whiee..." The little fire horse's breathing rhythm gradually became disordered.

Running and jumping around in the open space chasing the rainbow bubbles spit out by the giant crab was quite exhausting for the young fire pony.

"Stop...little fire horse!" Wang Yao stopped the overly excited little fire horse.

"It looks like Charmander can be integrated into your team, Wang Yao. In this way, I can give an explanation to my old friend with peace of mind!" President Masuda was a little worried about whether Charmander could adapt to the small group of trainers, but now it seems that there is nothing to worry about.

The lively and active Ponyta was easily accepted by Wang Yao's Pokémon.

Afterwards, Wang Yao released other Pokémon one after another to get familiar with Ponyta.

Whether it's Smelt or Arbok... most Pokémon can get along well with Charmeleon, except for Smelly, who gets so scared when he sees Charmeleon's flaming mane that he keeps hiding behind Wang Yao!

As soon as the cowardly bug hid, the little fire horse, eager to make new friends, instinctively wanted to chase him!

Two Pokémon, one fleeing and one chasing, but both are running very fast!

In the end, they circled around Wang Yao in the open space, making Wang Yao dizzy!

"Stop... Stop now! Coward! Charmeleon won't hurt you!" Wang Yao didn't know how to intervene in the chase between the two Pokémon for a moment.

"Guji!" The cowardly bug was obviously a water bug and was not afraid of fire energy, but at this time the insect instinct took over and it was very afraid of the flames on the little fire horse.

"Neigh!" The little fire horse rarely found a suitable racing opponent!

……

After seeing Wang Yao's team configuration, President Masuda finally understood why Wang Yao didn't want water Pokémon...

For trainers who pursue comprehensive combat strength, although a single attribute can be cultivated quickly, it has too many shortcomings!

Even if you become a powerful trainer at the ceiling king level of a single attribute, such as several king-level trainers in Kanto, you will encounter a nemesis that you find difficult to deal with!

Only by rotating and breeding Pokémon with various attributes can you truly reach the top of the trainer list!

……

The other half, under Wang Yao's adjustment, the coward finally stopped escaping and was caught by the tentacles of fate!

"Gujiji!" The cowardly bug gave up resisting.

"Alright, alright! You're a water-type Pokémon..." Wang Yao said in a disappointed tone.

After collecting the cowardly cockroach and the overactive Ponyta into the Poké Ball, Wang Yao finally felt a little more at peace.

Seeing this, President Masuda also called Wang Yao.

"Since I don't have to worry about Little Fire Horse anymore, it's time for me to return to the club..." President Masuda seemed to be leaving.

"But... this is also for my old friend to be completely at ease, Ayao - please accept this!" President Masuda took out an object that looked like a watch from his arms and handed it to Wang Yao.

"What is this?" Wang Yao took the watch and took a look at it curiously.

The watch in my hand has a blue polymer shell with a small screen on the front and several buttons around it.

You can also see a camera on the watch... The design looks very high-tech.

"This is an [Instant Messenger]... It was given to me by an old friend in Unova... But I don't usually use it." President Masuda introduced.

Wang Yao curiously pressed the button on the side and found that the screen lit up.

"This device can be charged by solar energy and has a built-in camera function. It is the latest communicator that allows up to 4 people to make video calls at the same time!"

Chairman Masuda pointed to a knob on the side and said, "You can switch contacts using the knob on the side. Oh, by the way! Since I've given you the communicator, you should also call my old friend to let him know so that he won't be unable to contact me later!"

Wang Yao studied the functional interface of the watch and, following Chairman Masuda's instructions, rotated the side button to switch the contact to the portrait of an old man with a white beard.

He pressed the communication button, and a thinner screen popped up on the right side of the watch screen. Half of Wang Yao's face appeared on the new screen.

Wang Yao pointed the camera at himself, and the image on the screen straightened accordingly.

"So this camera is used for taking selfies..." Wang Yao understood a little.

In this way, the communicator becomes a two-way videophone.

"Beep-beep!" The contact tone of the instant messenger rang.

Didn't have to wait long.

"Who are you?" An old man with a white beard covering most of his face, neatly combed hair and looking very gentlemanly appeared on the screen of the watch.

"Hello! I'm..."

Before Wang Yao could say hello, President Masuda's face appeared on the screen.

"Shaka! It was me who contacted you!" President Masuda's voice reached the distant Unova region through the instant messenger.

"... President Masuda, why does your communicator..." Xia Ka was slightly confused.

"Well... Anyway, I'm usually in the club and have a video phone so I can be contacted at any time, so I'll give this communicator to this young man!" President Masuda patted Wang Yao's shoulder and said.

After all, the communicator was a gift from the other party, so I still have to tell Xia Ka about it.

"Mr. Xia Ka! Hello - I'm A Yao!" Wang Yao greeted him somewhat helplessly.

After all, he didn't know the other person, so he had to hand the screen back to President Masuda.

"Because A Yao exchanged the little fire horse from me... In order to be able to know their journey status in real time, I gave him the communicator!" President Masuda explained why Wang Yao appeared on the screen first.

"I see... maybe I should congratulate you in advance - President, you have found another young trainer with a bright future!" Xia Ka in the video nodded and said slowly.

Xia Ka knew that the most important old partner of President Masuda was Flame Horse, but he didn't expect that he would be willing to exchange Flame Horse's offspring... It seems that this boy named A Yao must have some special qualities to attract President Masuda.

In fact, Xia Ka didn’t expect that President Masuda was just blinded by the cute sleeping mushroom!

As for Wang Yao and Little Fire Horse... they just happened to be there!

And the little fire horse, who is now one year old, is at the stage where people dislike him and he is a naughty kid!

Chairman Masuda's Fiery Horse couldn't wait to send this annoying horse away!

"Hahaha... it's not as absolute as you say... but even though it's their first meeting, Ponyta is quite accustomed to Ayao and his Pokémon! They should be able to become very good partners in the future!" President Masuda smiled and did not completely deny what Shaka said.

"So, A Yao?" Xia Ka turned his gaze to Wang Yao.

"Ah... yes!" Wang Yao responded. Although he didn't know who Xia Ka was, this old man with white beard looked very imposing. Under his attention, Wang Yao unconsciously became a little nervous.

"Since you have chosen to embark on the path of a trainer... I will also be waiting for you in the Unova region! Ssangyong City - I look forward to meeting you here!" Xia Ka said solemnly to Wang Yao.

"Shuanglong City?" Wang Yao, who missed many Pokémon games and animations, had never heard of this place.

"Shaka is the gym master of Shuanglong City. If you travel to the Unova region in the future, you can try to challenge the gym." President Masuda explained to Wang Yao.
