Chapter 71: Successfully landed on the island! For those who love spicy food!
"Is that so... But I think your Pokémon training is pretty good, Yao."
Xiao Feng looked back and saw Wang Yao's giant crab and his own Gotha duck chatting at the back of the team.
"Of course... I also put a lot of thought into it."
In terms of daily training, Wang Yao would conduct special training whenever he had the chance.
Moreover, even when camping in the wild, the Pokémon around you are never treated badly.
…and even eat better than living in a Pokémon Center.
"Haha... let's have a Pokémon battle once we get ashore!"
Xiao Feng looked at Wang Yao's confident look and suggested with a smile.
"I'm ready to fight you anytime! But I won't lose!"
Wang Yao also felt that Xiao Feng would be a good opponent.
"Come to think of it, I also captured Pokémon from the Kanto region..."
Xiao Feng took out a Poké Ball and said.
"The Crimson Gym's leader, Aju, has a Mormoth that is proficient in a variety of attribute skills... I was quite impressed by him during our battle."
"…So I captured a fur ball in the forest near the city of Crimson."
The more skills that can be used, the more room there is for maneuver during battle. Pokémon like Mormoth are very consistent with Xiaofeng's combat philosophy.
"Fluffy... it's a pretty good Pokémon."
Wang Yao thought of Guangshu’s fur ball… The fur ball, who was in charge of exploring the way, made a great contribution to the two of them being able to get out of the mole hole.
However, Wang Yao did not like Mormoth... In fact, he was somewhat reluctant to capture Pokémon based on insects such as butterflies and moths.
It’s not that he’s afraid of insects... On the contrary, Wang Yao likes poisonous insects like the Centipede King, Alidos, and Beedrill.
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.
