[Pokemon] Sycamore

On the endless sea, Xiaotong and Daiwu's journey continues.

"Before challenging the next gym, let's find a small island with a Pokémon center and land on it, Daigo."

Xiaotong, who was lying prone next to the boat teasing the mini dragon, stretched out his arms and quickly stood up and spoke to Daigo who was adjusting the course beside him.

After leaving Pongan Island, the two drifted on the sea for a long time. During this period, they also looked at Pinggan Island, which was surrounded by turbulent whirlpools. Most of the island's terrain seemed to be cliffs. It is said that it is located in Orange. A Pokémon nature reserve in the southwest of the archipelago is not open to shore visits.

Although they were curious, the two of them did not knowingly try to break in. Instead, they relied on Daigo's skillful boating skills to follow the whirlpool and bypass Pinggan Island and head towards the east.

"It's for the Crystal Rock Snake and your other friends, right?" After finishing the adjustment, Daigo came to Xiaotong and pulled her to sit down, unfolding the navigation chart in his hand.

Dotted with scattered islands, the composition of the Orange Islands is clearly visible.

"Yeah~ Even though I have personally treated them, it makes me feel more at ease to go to the Pokémon Center and have Ms. Joy, who is more professional, check it out. You said so, right?"

"Mi~~~"

Xiaotong reached out and touched the smooth little head covered with fine scales of the mini dragon that swam to the side of the boat.

"Lucario and the others also need to go ashore to move around. This is contrary to the situation when traveling in Kanto."

In the past, only Gyarados stayed in the research institute sadly, and could be picked up in places with vast waters. Now, Gyarados is swimming leisurely and submerged in the sea and having fun, while the other partners can only stay in the baby ball. , after all, unless they can swim, there is no place for them in the middle of the sea.

As for the sickle helmet?This is not the kind of environment it likes.

The few that can fly will only come out to move around occasionally. ?

"That's no problem. Let me take a look at the currently inhabited islands... How about Harsa Island? There is a big city on the island, but you have to go ashore to find out whether there is a Pokémon Center."

"It seems that this is all we can do for the time being... huh? What is that?" Xiaotong, who had originally planned to say something else, caught a glimpse of a small black dot in the distance approaching them rapidly.

"brush--!"

A strong wind blew past my ears, and in the blink of an eye, the advancing unknown object rushed past Xiaotong and his party and sped away into the distance.

"That... looks like a lucky egg? Hmm... a lucky egg riding in a canoe." Daigo said hesitantly, and the sea chart that was originally rolled up in his hand accidentally slipped down with a "pop".

Xiaotong blinked repeatedly and still looked at the figure going away. She didn't miss the person above her. It was definitely a dark-skinned Miss Joy. The iconic pink hair and hairstyle were the best indicators. .

"Want to come and have a look, Dawu? If it's really Miss Joy, then we've achieved our goal." Xiaotong suggested after taking back the mini dragon.

"Okay, then sit still, we're going to speed up!"

I saw Daigo press a certain control button, the sails unfolded with a "swipe!" sound, the propulsion system began to accelerate, and the speed of the boat increased several times in an instant.

"Huh~~~Follow Gyarados." Feeling the sea breeze blowing across his cheeks, Xiaotong shouted happily to the sea behind him, without worrying that some big guy would be left behind.

A black shadow in the sea hung tightly behind the boat, moving in the direction of Miss Joy's movement.

......

"It's this island, right?" Dawu said with some uncertainty.

After sailing in the direction Miss Joy left for a while, what appeared in front of the two of them was an unnamed uninhabited island. After Daigo used a rope to secure the boat, the two set foot on a white beach without a trace of man-made pollution. .

"It shouldn't be wrong, look there."

Following the direction Xiaotong pointed, Dawu saw a familiar canoe, and two series of footprints of different sizes and shapes extending towards the inner road of the island.

"Looking at the shape of the footprints, they are indeed auspicious eggs, so the other one must be Miss Joy who cannot escape." After squatting down and observing for a while, Dawu said jokingly while tracing the footprints.

After all, the chance of finding a wild ghillie egg on such an uninhabited desert island is almost zero.

"The next step is to find Miss Joy...eh? Gyarados?" Xiaotong, who heard a lot of noise coming from the sea, suddenly turned his head and looked behind him.

"Crash--!"

"Roar~~~"

On the churning sea, a tall dark figure suddenly jumped out!Gyarados roared at Xiaotong again and again. From the unusual tone, Xiaotong seemed to hear some interesting and joking emotions.

Before Xiaotong could ask, he saw the Gyarados giant tail lift upwards effortlessly from the sea, and something was pushed out of the sea.

The next second, a bright red huge body fell accurately to Xiaotong's feet with a "slap".

“Buckle, button, button, button!?!?”

"This...is this?!" Seeing the scene in front of her, Xiaotong was speechless for a moment.

A Magikarp?Well, no problem.

But a Magikarp that is more than three meters long is very impactful.

Yes, what was brought ashore by Gyarados was a common Magikarp, but what was unusual was its huge body that was far larger than its kind.

Even the feeble bouncing felt extremely oppressive due to its size... Looking at the huge fins so close, Xiaotong realized that the Magikarp, who was short of water, could no longer hold on.

"This will cause trouble to others, Gyarados... Hey!" Not caring about the struggle of the giant Magikarp, Xiaotong skillfully restrained the flapping fins first, then declined Daigo's help and then carried the carp. The king took it back to the sea.

"But you weren't so overdeveloped back then." Xiaotong playfully patted the big head of Gyarados, who was pretending to be innocent, and said with emotion: "At that time, you were only a little over two meters, right? It seems to me that it is already the largest of its kind I have ever seen. I didn’t expect that your record would be broken today.”

"Roar~~" Hearing Xiaotong's joking words, Gyarados felt a small surge of unwillingness to admit defeat. His tail fin hidden under the sea surface secretly slapped King Magikarp, who had returned to the sea and was about to run away. !

“Buckle, button, button, button!!?”

The giant Magikarp once again 'jumped' out of the sea, with pitiful accusations in his dull eyes.

Is it easy?Today I just went out to greet my most beloved angel as usual. How could I be so unlucky to meet this black evil god?

The giant Carp King kept sobbing in his heart, but he did not dare to resist the invincible dark tyrant's tricks, so he could only swallow the pain silently in his heart.

Little angel, come and save us QAQ

Perhaps the cry in King Carp's heart was heard by God, and a sound of footsteps approaching from far away sounded at this moment.
