Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

The reason why he said "again" was because he was discovered when he instigated the two little brats to subdue Magikarp last time...

"Definitely not!" - ×2

Xiaozhi and Xiaomao shouted in unison.

Afterwards, they looked at each other as if they were somewhat guilty, but Xiaozhi was the first one who couldn't hold it anymore and the corners of his mouth began to rise!

“Hahaha—hahahaha!”

"Hahaha……"

"——You two guys!"

The three of them gathered around the fire...their laughter drowned out the noisy chirping of insects in the forest.

……

Waterway No. 21 is an area of ​​sea located not far south of Zhenxin Town.

After passing through the forest, Wang Yao climbed over two hills.

It only took him a few hours to reach this deserted beach.

This waterway connects to Pallet Town in the north and to Red Lotus Island in the south.

Originally, this should be an excellent route connecting the southern seas and the Kanto continent, but the reality is not like this...

Because there are a lot of hidden reefs near Waterway 21, it is basically difficult for larger ships to pass through...

In addition, the sandbars that appear from time to time in the waterway as the tide rises and falls and the large number of wild Pokémon are also hidden obstacles.

Therefore, this waterway serves more as a battle paradise for trainers who specialize in water-type Pokémon.

Those traveling through it are basically high-level trainers riding various water-type Pokémon across the sea!

"It's only twenty nautical miles... so we won't use the raft this time."

Wang Yao put away the map book and unloaded Little Fire Horse's luggage.

"Come back... Little Fire Horse!"

"Giant crabs, cowardly bugs, sharp-toothed fish, and stinging jellyfish!"

Wang Yao took back Ponyta and summoned four water Pokémon.

After securing the luggage on the giant crab's shell, Wang Yao climbed onto the stinging jellyfish and sat firmly.

There are two large and one small red agate-like objects on the head of the stinging jellyfish. The large part is a soft and elastic bubble, and the smaller red agate bead in the middle is its ultrasonic transmitter.

The "stinger" that the stinging jellyfish is named after is not actually its 80 stinging tentacles, but the two sturdy blue stingers hanging under its body like huge sharp pincers!

Because the shape of the stinger is too exaggerated, many trainers mistakenly think that it is the pincer-like mouthpart it uses for eating.

Compared to the giant crab's strong and hard crab shell, the stinging jellyfish's soft gelatinous head is actually more suitable for riding.

"Let's go! We're relying on you two to protect us along the way..."

Wang Yao said to the escorting Sharptooth Fish and Cowardly Bug.

Although at a critical moment, he could still let the giant crab and the poisonous jellyfish join the battle...but in that case, one of him and his luggage would definitely fall into the water.

So this voyage is a test for timid insects and sharp-toothed fish.

"Gooji!"

"profit--!"

The cowardly worm and the sharp-toothed fish were already unwilling to lose to the combination of Magikarp and the two imps.

Now is the time to regain your confidence on the sea!

"Let's go! Head south, our destination is Red Lotus Island!"

Wang Yao waved his hand, and the team swam towards Honglian Island in a mighty manner!

The cowardly worm and the sharp-toothed fish were exploring the way ahead, one on the left and one on the right...

Wang Yao rode on a poisonous jellyfish in the middle of the team, and behind him was a giant crab carrying luggage to support him.

There are basically no powerful wild Pokémon in the shallow sea area close to the mainland, so Wang Yao can lie leisurely on the head of the stinging jellyfish for a short period of time and enjoy the summer sea scenery.

"Come to think of it, it's still a little bit dry..."

Wang Yao didn't prepare sunscreen, but he did have a parasol.

"Guji~"

Wang Yao waved behind him, and the giant crab in charge of logistics swam a few steps faster and handed the backpack to him.

He took out his parasol, opened it, and handed it to the stinging jellyfish, which used its two tentacles to hold it up to block out the sun.

"Gudu..."

After taking a sip of water, Wang Yao opened the map book again under the shade of the parasol.

"One, two, three... there are seven sandbanks in total..."

Wang Yao calculated the low tide time... and found that if he went south normally, he would encounter three larger tidal sandbars.

The other four smaller sandbars are still hidden beneath the sea and can only be seen during the low tide once a month.

According to the description in the map book...there will be many amphibious Pokémon appearing near these large sandbars.

Therefore, you can often pick up a lot of precious marine props.

For example, the famous props such as [Pearl], [Big Pearl], [Star Sand], etc.

So if it wasn't too far, Wang Yao still wanted to go and take a look.

In addition, there will be many powerful water-type Pokémon trainers stationed in these sandbars. On the one hand, they are there to fight and capture powerful wild Pokémon... On the other hand, they can also compete with other trainers.

Wang Yao actually has very few experiences battling against stranger trainers along the way, so he is quite looking forward to these activities!

Chapter 69: Going out to sea! An encounter on the sandbar!

As Wang Yao gradually sailed into the depths of the sea, he felt as if he had returned to the feeling of drifting on the sea.

The only difference from before is that he is more confident now, but what remains unchanged is that he still can't help but examine his own insignificance in the waves that merge the sea and the sky.

Wang Yao looked back at the mountains and beaches that were slowly disappearing, and the color of the surrounding sea water was gradually changing from light blue to dark blue.

"Would you like to try fishing?"

Wang Yao hesitated for a moment but did not take out his fishing rod. He just adjusted his sitting position and looked at the sea with an empty mind.

Not far away, a group of young agate jellyfish swayed and floated past his team. It seemed that they were attracted by the scent of their own kind and gathered towards the poisonous jellyfish under Wang Yao.

But after getting closer, the agate jellyfish, sensing the breath of other Pokémon in Wang Yao's team, retreated in fear and quickly disappeared under the sea like a phantom.

"So you all lived in groups before you evolved..."

Wang Yao patted the jellyfish's head curiously.

“Stinger…”

The stinging jellyfish shook its tentacles. I don't know how to explain it...

Although before it evolved, it lived in groups like other agate jellyfish.

But once they find delicious food, they will compete with each other...

According to the customs of the tribe, only the strongest and most ferocious agate jellyfish can obtain sufficient food and the opportunity to evolve.

In addition, compared to the agate jellyfish that prefer to live in warm shallow waters, the evolved stinging jellyfish prefer to live in deeper and more complex rocky areas on the seabed.

Therefore, the evolved stinging jellyfish... often leave the group, carve out a territory in the sea on their own, and sometimes attack each other in order to seize territory.

Only during the mating season each year do they move out in large numbers.

At this time of year, the weak Pokémon in the entire sea area will become the target of hunting by the poisonous jellyfish in the breeding season.

If the megalodon is called a sea bully...the stinging jellyfish can also be called a sea gangster.

……

As the first sandbar came into sight, Wang Yao stretched and felt a little bored.

It was different from what I imagined... There were basically no Pokémon that would actively attack me along the way...

The only two encounters I had were a chance encounter with a giant flying fish that passed by, and a group of agate jellyfish that were scared away...

As a result, the timid bugs and sharp-toothed fish in the guard team have no chance to exercise at all.

After thinking about it, Wang Yao couldn't find the reason and could only attribute it to luck.

"Let's go to the island and rest for a while..."

Wang Yao jumped off the head of the venomous jellyfish and stepped back onto the beach with his two feet.

“Although I’m not drifting aimlessly… the moment I step on land is still the most reassuring.”

Wang Yao couldn't help but sigh.

This sandbar covers an area of ​​about 100 to 200 square meters and is generally long and narrow in shape. There is no other green vegetation except for seaweed attached to a few rocks.

“Eh…what is this?”

Wang Yao saw several neat sets of footprints on the other side of the sandbar, about thirty meters away from his landing point.

"Human footprints... well, slightly smaller than mine."

"…Are those duck feet next to it?"

Wang Yao analyzed the traces on the sandbar.

The area near the other party's landing point was a bit messy, but there were also a few clear sets of footprints and traces.

One set of footprints is of a human, and it should be barefoot. The other set is shaped like a duck's webbed feet, with three claws facing forward and one claw facing forward. There is a webbed foot in the middle of the claw, and it is also a Pokémon that walks upright.

Next to it there is also a trace of a heavy object being dragged, and it is all heading towards the sea.

According to the tidal patterns of the sandbar, these footprints appeared slightly earlier than Wang Yao arrived at the sandbar.

"Forget it... since he's already gone, there's no need to worry about it."

Wang Yao thought that the other party was just a trainer like himself, who was just temporarily resting on the sandbar.

After taking some portable rations to replenish the energy of several Pokémon, Wang Yao also took a few bites of the energy bar himself.

"You coward... there might be treasures in the sand here!"

Since he has nothing to do anyway, Wang Yao can let the coward have his own way this time.

"Guji?!"

The cowardly bug excitedly began to circle around the sandbar.

"Gujiji..."

The cowardly bug scurried about on the sandbar, digging a hole here and a hole there from time to time.

The two whiskers swung back and forth like a detector.

"I never saw you so active during the battle!"

Wang Yao smiled helplessly and ignored it.

……

We rested for more than ten minutes.

Wang Yao is also ready to set off again...

"Come here... let me see if you found any treasures?"

Wang Yao called over the timid bug who was still a little unsatisfied and asked him to show off his new collections.

"Gooji!"

The cowardly bug rustled out a bunch of odds and ends from underneath him.

"these are……"

Wang Yao squatted on the ground and picked and chose.

"——Can you really dig out pearls?"
