Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

[Transfer station for world-weary novels 4 ㈦ 1 ㈨ э ④]

He just doesn't like these guys whose wings shed scales.

……

Since he was traveling with Xiao Feng, Wang Yao did not go to the other two sandbars to rest.

Anyway, I'll have a chance to come back again on my way back, and then I'll let the coward go and search some more... maybe I'll get some extra gains.

It was almost lunch time when Wang Yao and Xiao Feng saw the outline of Honglian Island.

"We're here - that's Red Lotus Island!"

"In the Kanto region...Guren Island is a famous hot spring resort!"

Wang Yao introduced to Xiao Feng.

"Hot springs? I heard that there is also a very good hot spring resort in Kamahen Town in our Hoenn region~"

Xiao Feng has not been to Fuyan Town, but he is familiar with several famous tourist attractions in his hometown.

"…In addition, there are also specialties such as Kamahene senbei, but I have only tasted them a few times when I was a child as souvenirs from relatives."

"If you have a chance to come to Fengyuan next time...you can come to Shuijing City to find me."

Xiao Feng was grateful to Wang Yao and invited him.

"That sounds good..."

Wang Yao was temporarily unable to cope with all the tasks... It would take him more than half a year just to travel and train around the Kanto region.

What's more, there are the neighboring Orange Islands and Chengdu Alliance waiting to be explored... Even Mr. Xiaka from the United States region once invited him.

"Let's land first - these past few months aren't the peak season for hot spring tourism... hopefully there will be space at the Pokémon Center."

In Wang Yao's impression... the tourism industry in Honglian Island is very prosperous.

But the newly built homestays and Pokémon Center on the island simply can't afford so many tourists...

Reservations for some popular hot spring hotels are scheduled for several months into the future.

Although Team Rocket had obtained him an orphan identity on Crimson Lotus Island... but A Yao, who was born in an orphanage, did not have any local property on Crimson Lotus Island!

So Wang Yao still has to stay at the Pokémon Center.

but……

“——There are so many people on the dock!”

Before reaching the island, Xiao Feng was already shocked by the dense crowds of tourists on the pier.

At this time, Xiao Feng had already put on a light blue floral dress to cover up the bikini swimsuit that showed off her figure too much.

"It seems that I still underestimated the reputation of the hot spring resort..."

Wang Yao took Xiao Feng to a flat beach and went ashore.

Anyway, he is used to camping... Even if there is no hotel on the island, it doesn't matter to him.

"Come back... you've worked hard along the way!"

Wang Yao put the Giant Claw and the others back into the Poké Ball, summoned Ponyta, and redistributed the luggage.

"Ah... it's the little fire horse~ so cute!"

Xiao Feng was immediately attracted by Wang Yao's little fire horse.

"Can I touch it?"

Xiao Feng stretched out her hand tentatively, wanting to touch the little fire horse's cheek.

"Hey~"

But the enthusiastic little fire horse came up directly.

"Ah...it's not hot!"

Xiao Feng was shocked at first, but when she looked at her hands bathed in the flaming mane, she only felt a little itchy warmth.

"My little Fire Ponies are quite lively and outgoing...but if it's other little Fire Ponies, they should be careful."

Wang Yao put the heavy luggage on the little fire horse and explained it in passing.

"Anyway... let's go to the Pokémon Center first!"

"Oh well!"

……

"I'm so sorry...the rooms at the Pokémon Center are full."

Even Shizuka's cousin, Joey from the Red Lotus Island Pokémon Center, couldn't conjure up a new vacant room for Wang Yao...

"…Why is this happening——I really want to take a hot bath!"

Xiao Feng simply washed himself with clean water when he got ashore, and his body was still a little sticky.

"Well then...thank you very much."

Wang Yao sighed. He had already guessed this would happen.

His free invitation ticket could come in handy if there's room at the Pokémon Center.

The free food and lodging always tastes delicious.

"If you want to take a bath... let's go to the hot spring hotel and ask later."

Wang Yao suggested.

"Well...it seems like this is the only way."

Xiao Feng could only agree helplessly.

"Ms. Joy! Please help my Pokémon recover their strength..."

Although it was a bit frustrating not to be able to check in, Xiao Feng had just experienced a storm at sea, and most of the Pokémon on her body were a little tired, so she had to temporarily leave them with Joey to help him recover his strength.

Because Wang Yao's Pokémon basically didn't consume much, and there was no need to look for a Jigglypuff for a checkup...

So Wang Yao chose to go to the restaurant of the Pokémon Center first, found an empty table, ordered a glass of iced juice, and waited for Xiao Feng...

Following Wang Yao's footsteps into the restaurant, Xiao Feng sat down on the chair opposite Wang Yao.

"Ayao, what do you want to eat? I'll pay for this meal!"

In order to repay Wang Yao's kindness, Xiao Feng chose to treat everyone to a meal.

"Hmm - then I'll have a smoked meat sandwich, and the sauce in the middle is chili sauce..."

Wang Yao did not refuse...but he had eaten some snacks on the way, so he was not too hungry and did not choose to order a full meal.

"A cup of peach juice... and a plate of spicy tomato curry pasta!"

Xiao Feng also ordered a late formal lunch for herself

"Okay... wait a moment."

Probably to ease the pressure from the large number of tourists, the Pokémon Center on Cinnamon Island hired many additional service staff.

I just don’t know why...there is still only one Joey, but there are a few more Jigglypuffs around her.

Chapter 72: Hot spring resort! Sweet and expensive!

"Do you like spicy food too?"

After Xiao Feng ordered the dishes, she asked Wang Yao with surprise and curiosity.

You know... in her hometown Shuijing City, she is called a "cool beauty" by the local residents.

The reason she got this title is that in addition to her beautiful appearance, she is also very good at playing the clarinet.

Also - unlike other delicate and pitiful girls, her favorite food is pasta with spicy eggplant.

You know, not everyone can accept the spicy taste of dishes made from capsicum!

"Yeah... Not only me, the giant crab also likes spicy food!"

Wang Yao had heard before that if the captured Pokémon were nurtured with enough care, they would become more and more like their trainer.

Wang Yao and the giant crab have a natural understanding... at least when it comes to taste.

"It would be great to have the same flavor as Pokémon!"

Xiao Feng said enviously.

"My sea lion and Gotha duck can't stand the taste of spicy tomato at all."

Xiao Feng and her Pokémon don't have the same tacit understanding as Wang Yao and the Crab.

“When they first tasted the tamarind…fire came out of their mouths!”

"Hahaha~ That scene was really interesting..."

Xiao Feng described the scene to Wang Yao... and emphasized that "flames spewing out of the mouth" was not an exaggeration...

——Instead, flames really spewed out of his mouth!

"It's normal for each Pokémon to have different tastes... If you can't satisfy everyone, try adding some sweetness to spice it up."

"If we make it sweet and spicy, maybe more Pokémon will be able to accept it."

Wang Yao thought of his bottle of high-quality sweet food imported from the Sinnoh region and a specialty of the Three Bees!

——Those stingy gophers are so abominable!

I don’t know if Honglian Island, a tourist destination, sells sweets?

After all, it is an imported product from the Sinnoh region.

Wang Yao didn't buy this kind of rare goods when he was in Deep Gray City.

"Sweet? It seems like it would be a good idea to try..."

After thinking about Wang Yao's suggestion, Xiao Feng felt that it seemed to make some sense.

After all, she also likes sweets, but mostly as a snack after meals.

……

After a simple lunch, the two people with nowhere to go naturally chose to walk together.

"Thank you so much!"

Xiao Feng took the Poké Ball from Joey and tied it around her waist.

"Let's go, let's go to the hot spring hotel first..."

While eating just now, Xiao Feng already felt like salt grains were forming on his body, and he was now eager to set out to explore the store.

Wang Yao had also been enjoying the sea breeze for a while before, and he also felt a little sticky, but his situation was much better than Xiao Feng's.

But the two of them asked several hot spring hotels in succession, but they were all full.

Wang Yao was about to give up. In his memory, Xiaozhi seemed to have encountered a similar thing when he came to Honglian Island.

In the end, he was taken in for one night by Xia Bo, the master of the Honglian Gym.

But maybe Wang Yao's luck is better than Xiaozhi's group...

After many setbacks, the two finally found a bathhouse that could accommodate guests.

Since it is operated as an hourly room, this bathhouse does not have a reservation model like other boarding houses.

But the fee is a bit expensive...

If it is an independent hot spring bath, one hour of hot spring treatment will cost five thousand Baoke yuan.

But if you choose a large bath shared by many people... it only costs two thousand Baoke yuan per hour!

Wang Yao, who has always been frugal, of course chose the big bath!

The same is true for Xiao Feng...

So, Wang Yao changed into the bathrobe prepared by the store and walked into the men's bathing pool.

Xiao Feng was relaxing in the ladies' bath, soaking in the natural hot springs of Honglian Island.
