Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

Although he is not good at taking care of children, this father who is also proficient in Rock-type Pokémon will definitely be able to run the Dark Gray Gym well!

Xiaogang is very confident about this.

"That's good……"

Wang Yao didn't think much about it, after all, it was Xiaogang's family affair.

Moreover, he had already figured out the time period he was in - roughly one year before the protagonist Xiaozhi went out on his journey.

Although he hasn't met Xiaozhi yet...but this is generally the case.

So it is very unlikely that Xiaogang will have the opportunity to travel this year...

I just don't know that the Dark Gray Gym, which was led by Wu Neng and became famous for breeding fossil pterosaurs a year later...

Now that Xiaozhi, who is as young and naive as in the original drama, has arrived, can he still get the gray badge as he wishes?

"Oh - right! I almost forgot!"

Wang Yao, who had already changed his shoes and was preparing to return to the Pokémon Center, suddenly slapped his forehead and remembered something.

"Xiao Gang! I also want to ask you, how to evolve the Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

This is what Wang Yao had forgotten before, about the evolutionary conditions of the Tyrannosaurus Rex!

"Oh, this - as long as you wear the [Protective Gear] and communicate with it, the Iron Tyrannosaurus can evolve into the [Super Iron Tyrannosaurus]!"

"Based on the level of your Tyrannosaurus Rex... it should be able to fully meet the physical requirements for evolution again!"

Xiaogang is worthy of being a rock expert and is very familiar with the evolutionary conditions of the Iron-Armored Tyrannosaurus.

"Protective gear? What does it look like? Where can I get it?"

Wang Yao directly clicked three times.

"It looks like four square blocks connected together. As for where to get it..."

"Hmm... the bigger Pokémon item stores should sell it! If it's in the wild, it's hard to say. This thing doesn't seem to be a natural product."

Although he has seen the protective gear, Xiaogang is not sure where it came from.

"I see... I hope I can buy it!"

After all, it is a product that can be purchased, so Wang Yao feels relieved.

……

After returning to the Pokémon Center, Wang Yao took back the Poké Ball.

Considering that I will set out for Mt. Tsukimi in a couple of days, I might encounter the Pokémon I want to capture then.

Wang Yao plans to transfer a few more Pokémon to the ranch.

"Arbok! Jellyfish! Octopus bucket! The three of you come out and change the ball!"

Wang Yao logged the Stinging Jellyfish and Octopus Bucket, which had been in the [Black Household] state, into the trainer system and changed their ball types to advanced balls.

There is no need to update Arbok's information, just change the ball type.

As a result, four of the original ten free training places have been used.

But Wang Yao doesn't care about this anymore... Things like funding... there is always a way to get them.

Rather than letting these training places sit vacant, it would be better to send the old guys on hand over to get some training.

"Don't just enjoy yourself when you get there! Get training!"

Wang Yao gave instructions to the three Pokémon that were about to leave the team.

"Especially you! Arbok! I'll always use the instant messenger to contact the ranch uncle! If I find out that you're slacking off!"

"I will... peel off the skin of you."

Wang Yao's tone was so deep and terrifying that Arbok felt a chill running straight from the base of his tail to his forehead.

“Crack!!”

Arbok immediately straightened his chest and made a loud promise to Wang Yao.

“Stinger—!”

"Ugh——!"

The poisonous jellyfish and octopus buckets also issued military orders one after another.

After resolving a worry, Wang Yao's Pokémon team had been reduced to five members.

In addition to the Giant Claw Crab and the Toucan Gull who cannot be replaced for the time being, the new members of the team, the Tyrannosaurus Rex and the Little Fire Horse, also need more training.

Wang Yao is very relieved about other Pokémon, except for this guy, Coward...

Because of the nature of the species, Wang Yao must personally monitor its training, so that the cowardly bug will have the possibility of evolving.

"The evolution level of the Armored Warrior should be about the same as that of Gyarados, right?"

Wang Yao guessed while holding the Cowardly Bug's Poké Ball.

Gyarados is actually very similar to Magikarp. Magikarp evolves into Gyarados, which means it goes from being weak to being strong.

Most evolved Gyarados have bad tempers and ferocious personalities.

The same goes for the evolution of the coward... After evolving, the armored warrior will even go into battle with the octopus warrior, and the loser will become the opponent's food.

"This time, we'll let you lead the way on our trip to Yuejian Mountain!"

The Poké Ball in his hand trembled twice, but Wang Yao held it tightly.

"Oh - can't wait anymore?!"

Wang Yao was very satisfied with the coward's fighting spirit!

Chapter 43 Let's go! The first night at Tsukimiyama!

Because they were about to leave for Yuejian Mountain, Wang Yao did not do any special training in the next two days.

It was a rare opportunity to be lazy, and it made him feel much more relaxed.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

After having lunch in advance and replenishing some supplies from the department store in Deep Gray City, Wang Yao came to the entrance of the museum to meet Li Ke.

"Sorry! I'm late!"

When Wang Yao arrived, Li Ke had been waiting at the entrance of the museum for a long time.

Unlike Wang Yao who led the Little Fire Horse and carried a lot of luggage, Li Ke brought much less, only a thin briefcase.

"Not too late, not too late! Actually, I was a little impatient, so I came early!"

Seeing Wang Yao arrive, Li Ke was eager to set off.

With his condition, it's no wonder he can't explore Mt. Tsukimi without someone to accompany him...

Not to mention encountering wild Pokémon... he probably wouldn't even be able to take care of his own three meals.

"There's no point in being anxious - even though Moon View Mountain is not far from here, it will take us at least half a day to get there!"

"I'm afraid it will be dark by the time we reach the foot of the mountain!"

Wang Yao poured cold water on Li Ke’s overly enthusiastic attitude.

"Ah...yes! I had totally forgotten about that!"

"Hehe...hehe..."

Li Ke reacted and scratched his head in embarrassment.

He had been to Mt. Tsukimi before, but he was chased back by Pokémon just as he reached the cave at the foot of the mountain!

"Okay... let's go!"

Wang Yao led the little fire horse and walked in front.

"Yes--!"

Li Ke immediately followed Wang Yao's footsteps.

“——Wait a minute!”

"Please wait!"

Two voices, one in front and one behind, shouted at Wang Yao from afar.

"Ok?"

Wang Yao turned around and found that the people who called him were the two little brats he had rescued before.

“Phew! Just in time!”

Shi Ye and Guang Shu stood in front of Wang Yao, panting.

Then you and I described our experiences of the past few days.

Ishiya: "We heard from Joey during lunch that you were leaving!"

Hiroki: “So I caught up with him right away!”

Ishiya: "Yesterday the Dark Gray Gym Leader easily defeated both of us!"

Hiroki: "...He said our practice wasn't enough!"

Shi Ye: "So we thought..."

Guang Shu: "It's a good opportunity for me to go to Yuejian Mountain with you, Brother Yao, to train together!"

Ishiya and Hiroki: "That's it!"

"You two really have a tacit understanding..."

Wang Yao commented somewhat speechlessly.

They spoke one sentence each and they were able to speak so coherently.

"Anyway... since you didn't get the gray badge, you plan to go to Tsukimiyama with me to train... and then challenge me again after you become stronger, right?"

Wang Yao summarized what the two people said.

"Correct!"

"That's right!"

The two looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

"Okay! Okay! I don't mind adding two more people on the road..."

Wang Yao waved his hand.

"But that's just right... you can still send Li Ke back later..."

"——Oh! Let me introduce you, this is Li Ke, a researcher at the Deep Gray Science Museum!"

There is a high probability that Wang Yao will not return to Shenhui City after arriving at Yuejian Mountain!

Regardless of whether he finds the so-called meteorite core or not, he will probably continue to move towards Cerulean City.

Therefore, it was just right to let these two brothers escort Li Ke back.

"Um...hello!"

Li Ke greeted.

"Hello!"

Perhaps out of students' awe of researchers, Ishiya and Hiroki behaved very well in front of Li Ke.

……

Although the number of people traveling together has increased, the road to Mt. Tsukimi will not become shorter or longer.

Wang Yao and his group arrived at the foot of Yuejian Mountain on time before dark.

"It's not convenient to make a fire in the cave... We'll camp outside tonight and have dinner first."

Wang Yao glanced at the sky and saw that the sun was about to set.
