Wang Yao's Pokémon Journey

"Gooji!"

I have the advantage this time! The cowardly bug let out a cry full of ambition.

"Finally cheered up!" Wang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

"In addition, you must do everything you can to find a way to destroy the wooden stake. If you can destroy this piece of wooden stake before dark today, I will, uh... reward you with a big meal!" Wang Yao painted a big pie for the coward.

"Guji?" The coward's eyes lit up.

What you said, is it true?

"Guji!" The cowardly bug held his head high and chest out, and immediately issued a military order.

If the wooden stake is not broken before dark, I will ask... Xu Zi to come and see you!

"Okay, it's decided! You train on your own." Wang Yao left Coward in the open space behind the surfing hut. He also had to assign training plans to other elves.

In Wang Yao's opinion, there are only a few elves worth cultivating...

First up are the two generals of Kanto—Giant Crab and Arbok.

Especially for Arbok who has not evolved yet. After all, the strength of the Giant Claw has reached a bottleneck. It will be difficult to make any further progress without a lot of battles. But Arbok has not evolved yet, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. It needs to focus on training and strive to evolve as soon as possible.

Moreover, these two elves can be arranged in the team as regular configuration.

Next are the newly captured cowardly bug and sharp-toothed fish. The former, as a potential stock, has been designated as the core combat force of the team. Although it is still the weakest in the team now, in the end, there is a saying - the future is promising!

The Sharptooth Fish is cultivated as a means of water transportation, and the evolved Megalodon, as a bully in the sea, is quite in line with the Rocket Team's image. It can also be held for a long time and is worth cultivating.

As for the stinging jellyfish and octopus barrels...

Although at present, the combat effectiveness of both elves is still acceptable.

However, the attributes of these two Pokémon are too similar to those of other Pokémon in the team, and as fully evolved wild Pokémon, they lack room for improvement.

Moreover, these two water-type Pokémon have great limitations in combat, and neither of them can adapt to land combat. Before Chucky and Sharptooth grow up, they can be used as temporary combat forces, but Wang Yao will most likely consider exchanging them to supplement other attributes of the team afterwards.

After all, Wang Yao doesn't want to become a water Pokémon master.

If there is a chance, it is best to replace them with fire or electric-type Pokémon to increase their attack range.

At least we won't be unable to light a fire on a deserted island like before...

Therefore, they have no training value at present, but they can be used as sparring partners for other Pokémon in the team. Wang Yao feels that they can be used right after being caught, and there is no need to train them specially.

The only ones left are the team's only flying unit, the Toucan, and the mascot, the Sleepy Mushroom.

At present, Gullfowl still has a place in the team, but if there is a better Flying Pokémon that can replace it, Wang Yao should let Gullfowl retreat to the second line and assign it a job in the Rocket Team as a supporting Pokémon, such as letting it use its expertise to help deliver props and the like.

Whether now or after its evolution, the Sleeping Mushroom does not seem to fit Wang Yao's team configuration requirements and future plans. If it only has the function of emitting light to attract monsters, it is actually not very valuable.

But it is a rare Pokémon from the Alola region after all - if nothing goes wrong, Wang Yao plans to put it in the Rocket Team's breeding house to lay eggs after returning to the headquarters... maybe he can even make some contributions.

Anyway, it is impossible to release them.

……

"Stinger Jellyfish, your special training target today is the Sharptooth Fish! Use bubble light to block your vision! And use ultrasound to interfere with the direction of the Sharptooth Fish!"

"Sharptooth fish, use the water jet to speed up, dodge the attack, and use the bite trick on the stinging jellyfish!"

At a beach far away from the crowd, Wang Yao commanded two elves to fight at the same time.

In the water, the toothfish circled around the stinging jellyfish, constantly looking for opportunities to attack.

The stinging jellyfish did not take the initiative to attack, but followed Wang Yao's instructions and continued to interfere with the actions of the toothfish.

The scene was a little anxious for a while.

The level of the stinging jellyfish is much higher than that of the new toothfish, so Wang Yao set it as the defensive side.

As for the sharp-toothed fish, Wang Yao focused on strengthening its speed and attack power according to the established goals.

On the beach behind Wang Yao, the giant crab was doing strength training with the Arbok.

"Bang——! Bang——!"

"Gurg!"

The giant crab continuously uses crab punches against the hard reefs, which not only increases its strength but also enhances its skill proficiency.

Wang Yao also let the giant crabs directly hit the reefs after they had hardened several times to hone their defenses.

Arbok found a columnar reef to practice his binding and dissolving liquid skills.

While entangled with the reefs, it spewed corrosive dissolving liquid, destroying the reefs that had been weathered by wind and waves bit by bit.

When the Arbok can crush the columnar reefs eroded by the solvent by the strength of its tightened muscles, the mission will be accomplished.

"Crack!"

The Arbok curled up on the reef with some effort, and opened its mouth to spit out a ball of dark purple dissolving liquid.

The columnar reef was only able to shed a little bit of rock debris under the double attack. It is still too difficult for it to achieve this at present.

"Ga~Ga gull~"

The big-billed gull was holding a sleeping mushroom and carrying an octopus bucket, flapping its wings in mid-air and circling around Yeli Island. Wang Yao thought that even if it had to be relegated to the second line in the future, it would be a good idea to practice its cargo-carrying capabilities now.

"Miloo~Miloo~"

The Sleeping Mushroom poked its little head out of the beak of the toucan gull, and it looked very energetic, which was rare even in the daytime.

……

At the same time, more than 100 kilometers north of Yeli Island, a new sea storm is brewing...

……

Chapter 7 Mysterious Storm! Huge Waves Are Coming!

"You've worked hard, take a break and come over to eat something!"

After training from morning to noon, even Wang Yao, who was only participating in the command as a trainer, could not bear it anymore.

"Guji~"

"Crack..."

"..."

After receiving the order and lying down to rest, the cries of several Pokémon came one after another.

"Today's lunch is rice balls... for everyone." Wang Yao took out food from his backpack.

Before going out in the morning, Kenji's mother prepared simple seaweed rice balls for Wang Yao's elves.

Knowing that Wang Yao was going out for special training, Kenzhi's mother even added a small amount of salt and vinegar into the rice.

Wang Yao also took out the remaining seaweed and dried fish.

Although this lunch is not luxurious, it is filling and the specially made seaweed rice balls can also make up for the energy consumed during training.

"There are energy blocks in the game... and there are special Pokémon food in the anime... but judging from my previous life's memories, it seems that the giant crabs eat human food together with me?"

Wang Yao suddenly felt confused. Was he too frugal in the past?

But he didn't dwell on it for too long. Wang Yao took out a rice ball, chewed it carefully and swallowed it with some dried seaweed and water.

In his opinion, except for some rock-type and steel-type Pokémon that need to eat metal minerals, most Pokémon based on animals can be prepared according to human tastes.

As for malnutrition...you can make up for it by eating more tree fruits and natural Pokémon meat.

The fruit part is not so bad. Most of the fruit is not expensive and the varieties are complete. You can usually buy it in supermarkets or fruit stores...

However, the price of Pokémon meat sold through regular channels is too expensive!

The price of thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan per pound has discouraged many people, and most ordinary people still rely on synthetic meat as their main source of meat.

As for the informal meat channels - as a professional Rockets cadre, Wang Yao feels that there is still a lot of room for operation.

Even...renewable parts such as the claws of giant crabs and the tentacles of octopuses are common cooking ingredients.

Of course, Wang Yao is not so crazy as to eat his own Pokémon... But if they fall off during a battle or are captured in the wild... Wang Yao doesn't mind helping them deal with these heavy physical burdens.

"Toucan, go take this rice ball to Coward." Wang Yao packed a rice ball and a small dried fish with a clean cloth and asked the Toucan to deliver them to Coward who was training alone.

In order to stay away from the crowd during special training, Wang Yao chose a beach on the other side of the island. This beach was several kilometers away from the empty space of the previous surfing hut, so Wang Yao had to ask the toucan to help deliver the goods.

Considering the physique of a cowardly bug, a rice ball and a dried weakling should be enough for it.

"Gaou~"

The gull gobbled its lunch, picked up the package, flapped its wings and flew towards the open space behind the surf hut.

"Gah~"

Not long after, the toucan gulls, having delivered the goods, returned to the beach where Wang Yao was.

"Gujiji~"

Along with it came the cowardly bug.

A few limbs crawled quickly, and the timid insect jumped off the bird's back.

"Gah~tui!"

The toucan gull also opened its beak and spat out the half-broken wooden stake in its mouth.

"Ah? Why did you bring the coward here too? Wait! This wooden stake!"

Wang Yao was confused at first, but then he saw the half wooden stake spit out by the toucan.

The broken ends of the wooden stakes were jagged, but traces of being cut by a sharp weapon could still be vaguely seen.

The marks on it seemed to have been cut and broken bit by bit after being swung around with several knives for a long time.

"Did you do this?" Wang Yao looked at the coward.

"Gujiji!" The timid bug stood up proudly, revealing two pairs of sharp claws hidden under its carapace.

"Uh..." Wang Yao looked at it carefully. The size of the cowardly bug's claws seemed to correspond to the marks on the wooden stake.

Can the power of an insect claw alone break a wooden stake that is almost as thick as itself?

Wang Yao felt that this was unrealistic.

He felt that Coward must have mastered some new skills.

"Show us how you broke the stake?" Wang Yao asked Cowardly Bug to repeat his previous operation.

"Gujiji!" The cowardly bug responded immediately.

Then, the cowardly bug quickly circled the half-broken wooden stake twice, as if looking for the weak point of the stake.

Afterwards, the timid bug found the right moment, raised its body slightly, approached the wooden stake, stretched out its little claws, and quickly waved a ray of silver light, which hit the wooden stake with a swish, leaving a cut about the length of a finger on it.

【Metal Claw】!

"So you have mastered a new skill... or you knew it before but were just not proficient enough to use it." Wang Yao speculated, touching his chin.

Walking to the side of the wooden stake, Wang Yao stretched out his hand to feel the power of the attack.

The notch should only go into the stake about half a fingernail deep.

The giant crab only chopped down a small tree of about ten centimeters. If it wanted to cut off a wooden stake with such an attack, it would probably have to release dozens of skills of the same power.

"It seems that you have not been lazy this morning." Wang Yao bent down and touched the tentacles of the cowardly bug to show encouragement.

"It's a pity that there is no illustrated guide, so I can't tell what skill it is." Wang Yao sighed.

It would be nice to have a talking meow around.

The Rockets team in Wang Yao’s memory did not have the trio, but now that the Rockets team is on the rise, perhaps they have been promoted.

"I'll talk to Auntie tonight and reward you with a curry rice!" Wang Yao kept his promise.

Compared to seaweed rice balls and dried fish, a steaming hot curry rice should be considered a big meal...

"Gurgle~" The cowardly bug didn't know what curry rice was, but being able to get Wang Yao's affirmation made him very happy.

So the cowardly bug made rapid chirping sounds and circled around the trainer.

"Okay... stop! Stop!" Wang Yao was almost dizzy. This guy was not that big, but how could he be so fast!

"After lunch break, you can build up your strength with the giant crabs." Wang Yao stopped the timid bug from running around and gave an order.
