Pongan Island is located in the middle of the four islands: Daigan Island, Penggan Island, Xiagan Island and Jingan Island. It is surrounded and surrounded by the four islands in a semicircle, and its size and area are also similar to those surrounding it.
The four islands are almost the same size.
And yesterday, when Annie met Xiaozhi and Sister Xiaoxia on Jingan Island and solved the not-so-big trouble, that night, after dinner, she went with the three of them.
, took the 'Dragon Riding' Lapras across the sea and came here.
Of course, it was not easy to cross the sea from Jingan Island to Pongan Island, nor was it fast. It took the four of us a whole night.
It can be said that Annie spent the entire night last night in the sea wind, waves and bumps.
"finally reached!"
(＿＿*)
"It's really slow..."
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
Then, of course, when Annie just landed in this dock town on Ponkan Island, she finally couldn't help but let out a long sigh and expressed her dissatisfaction with the trip last night.
"slow?"
"It's not too slow anymore."
"The speed of Dragon Rider is relatively fast among all water-type Pokémon, a little faster than a ferry, and its back space is also large enough, so there is no problem in carrying everyone!"
For Xiaoxia, taking the "Chenglong" Laplace to cross the sea has become her daily routine recently, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
What's more important is that since Annie returned to the team, their financial situation suddenly improved, and last night, she, Xiaozhi, and Xiaojian had a hearty meal on Jingan Island and then
I had a good sleep again on the back of Laplace, the Dragon Riding Dragon. Not to mention how comfortable and energetic I feel now.
"I came here all night, isn't it too slow?"
(﹏,)
"Isn't it fun to spend the whole night huddled on a little turtle shell?"
°(°°)°
"If you take that fast dragon, you can get here in less than ten minutes at most!"
(~)
Yes, Annie's Dragonite, which has not been released for a long time, is said to be the fastest flying Pokémon. It can fly around the earth in just sixteen hours, so if it can fly, it will really fly.
It only takes about ten minutes or less to fly from Jingan Island to Ponkan Island.
Of course, it would be faster if she used teleportation directly! In that way, in the blink of an eye, just a thought, she could reach any destination in the world she wanted to go to.
Anyway, no matter what method she uses, she will definitely be able to poop much faster than the guy on the other side who looks like a giant sea turtle.
"Kuailong?"
"Yes, Annie, you do seem to have a fast dragon!"
"I would have almost forgotten it if you didn't tell me."
After hearing Annie's words, Xiaoxia finally remembered that in addition to 'Dream', 'Mewtwo' and Tibbers, Annie also had a dragon postman who was forcibly captured using almost the same method.
At that time, she, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang were quite frightened.
It was only then that she and her friends learned that Pokémon could still be robbed?
"But it's useless!"
"If there are only one or two of you and me, the dragon can barely carry it."
"But if we include Xiaozhi and Xiaojian, even a Pokémon with dragon and flying attributes like Kuailong, which has the fastest flying speed, probably won't be able to fly, right?"
"so……"
"We can still only ride on the Dragon Riding Lapras. Although it is still a baby now, it is a very rare Pokémon. It is said that when it reaches adulthood and becomes Gigantamax, more than 5,000 people can ride on it.
The carapace on my back doesn’t sway at all, and it’s very comfortable to sit up?”
While talking, after rejecting Annie's unrealistic idea, Xiaoxia once again began to tout the various benefits of Xiaozhi's 'Dragon Riding' Lapras.
"People don't care about it!"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
"No matter how big it is, it's still a big turtle, and its speed is only the same."
()
You know, when Annie was in the world of Azeroth, she had even seen the sea turtle Shen Zhenzi carrying an entire piece of land on her back, that is, the Wandering Island. Therefore, for that little little turtle, Labra
Damn Dragon Turtle, she wouldn’t even look at him!
Annie doesn't know what will happen to the other party in the future, and she doesn't want to know, but all she knows now is that the four people crowded on each other's turtle shells are really too crowded, so last night she even thought about putting two of them together.
The guy who was in the way was kicked into the sea.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"oops!"
"Just get used to it and you'll be fine."
"Besides..."
“It’s nice to be able to enjoy the scenery and enjoy the sea breeze every day on the sea.”
In fact, Xiaoxia herself doesn't believe this.
In fact, if they didn't cross the sea every time at night, she would probably be the first one to be unable to bear it if it were during the day when the sun was shining brightly.
After all, taking the "Chenglong" to cross the sea not only made it uncomfortable to sit, but also didn't have enough space to move around, no bathroom, and no big bed. She didn't know how she managed to hold on in the past few days.
"Habit?"
(**;)
"But I don't want to get used to it at all!"
(lll￢▽￢)
That’s right!
Rather than curling up on the shaky, narrow and bumpy turtle shell, Annie prefers to stay in a high-end luxury hotel or hotel, then sleep comfortably and wait until she wakes up the next day to eat and drink.
Then, with a 'swish' sound, you can fly or teleport directly to the next destination.
She is not the kind of person who is careless, so why should she have to endure hardships and stand hard work while living a comfortable and comfortable life?
"strangeness!"
"Everyone, look!"
At this time, before Annie and Xiaoxia could continue to say anything, Xiaozhi, who had been walking forward for a while, suddenly pointed to the shops on both sides of the town streets with a dazzling array of crystal glass products and was surprised.
He turned around and asked:
"Did you find out?"
"This island..."
"Why does it have so many glass shops?"
"many!"
So far, the islands that Xiaozhi has visited include Daigan Island, Penggan Island, Xiagan Island and Kumquat Island. Some of the four islands are suitable as resorts, such as Daigan Island, Penggan Island and Xiagan Island;
Like in inland cities, like the previous Ponkan Island where Pikachu was almost snatched away? However, like the Ponkan Island in front of him, almost all the streets are filled with glass shops. This is really the first time for him to do this.
See.
"Of course!"
"Ponkan Island..."
“It was originally famous for its glass crafts!”
At this time, fortunately, the Pokémon observer Xiao Jian in the four-person team, the guy who had done serious research on the Orange Islands, came out and introduced to everyone:
"It is said!"
"Here on Ponkan Island, most of the residents on the island are skilled craftsmen who can skillfully make glass crafts?"
"So, like the island with the wild Pokémon forest theme park on Pengkan Island, it can also attract a lot of tourists."
"Tourists who come here will more or less buy some of their favorite handicrafts and go back, which also drives the economy and tourism here."
"In short, this is the general situation."
At this point, Xiao Jian stopped.
Originally, he was thinking of suggesting that everyone buy some glass crafts they like and take them back. After all, they are the specialty of Ponkan Island, and it would be perfect to take them back and give them to relatives and friends.
However, when he thought of the difficult financial situation of the three of them, he wisely did not dare to say anything that would embarrass everyone at this time.
"really beautiful!"
“So many glass handicrafts look shiny when put together, and they come in all shapes!”
"I really want to buy one..."
Xiaoxia walked up to one of the shops and began to admire the dazzling array of glass products.
Of course, she was just talking and had no real intention to buy it.
After all, she no longer has any budget, and she has to travel to various islands and participate in the Orange League competition. She doesn't dare to bring such beautiful-looking, but at the same time, very fragile exquisite crafts.
On the body.
"Well……"
"I'm more concerned about other things."
"Everyone, how are we going to find the person who threw the bottle and talk to him (her) about the crystal rock snake?"
“This island looks quite big!”
"Although the town is not very big, it might not be easy to find a certain person, right?"
Then, after everyone chatted for a while, Xiaozhi suddenly mentioned the drift bottle they had picked up at the sea and asked with a sad face.
Originally, they planned to just take supplies and rest here on Ponkan Island before setting off to another island immediately. However, now that they have received that kind of news, they know that there is a rare Pokémon like the 'Crystal Rock Snake' in this world.
, then they want to see it no matter what.
So, finding the person who threw the drift bottle and asking for some basic information might provide some valuable clues for them to find the big rock snake?
"have no idea."
"This is my first time coming to this island..."
"I'm afraid it's not easy to find someone on an island like this with small towns and villages, right?"
Anyway, Xiaoxia doesn't have any hope.
And the reason why they come here is just to look at the rare things and take some supplies and rest. If they really can't find it, they will definitely have to set off again later, at least before dusk, to go to the next island.
"Huh?"
"Annie!"
"Hello!"
"Where are you headed?"
At this time, before Xiaoxia went to talk to Xiaozhi and Xiaojian to say something, she was surprised to find that Annie was walking forward on her own and was very far away soon.
, you have no intention of waiting for them?
"Go find it slowly!"
()
“You have to go shopping by yourself first!”
()
With that said, Annie continued to stride forward.
She has never been interested in glass crafts, nor is she interested in crystal rock snakes, because now she is only interested in edible ones!
so!
Since those people wanted to find the Crystal Rock Snake, of course she had to go and play with her own!
"But!"
"Annie..."
Xiaoxia opened her mouth to stop her, but she didn't know what to say. She could only watch the little figure walking further and further away.
"It's fine!"
"The three of us can find it, can't we?"
Seeing that Annie was about to leave, Xiaozhi certainly didn't take it to heart. Instead, he grabbed Xiaoxia and started to encourage everyone.
"I believe!"
"We will definitely find that magical big rock snake!"
Although there are indeed difficulties, Xiaozhi still believes that with his ability, he will be able to find the person who threw the drift bottle, and then find the very, very rare crystal rock snake mentioned in the other party's letter!
"Yes, yes! I know!"
"only……"
"If Annie goes to play by herself, we're afraid we'll have to spend our own money again!"
Xiaoxia sighed in frustration.
If she could, she really wanted to say loudly: The big rock snake and the like were actually not important. What she was most worried about now was who would pay for them after Annie went to play by herself.
"!!"
"Yes!"
"How could I forget this matter..."
After Xiaoxia's reminder, Xiaozhi also remembered it and subconsciously exclaimed.
But unfortunately, it seems too late for him to think of it now.
Because, when he quickly raised his head and looked forward, towards the bustling street with tourists, Annie's little jumping figure had already gone to nowhere.
"That……"
"Do you want to go find her now?"
"At least let her treat us to a meal first?"
Therefore, Xiaozhi suggested that he should catch up with and follow Annie first, and then wait until he had eaten and drank enough before doing anything else.
"never mind!"
"That's too bad!"
After thinking about it, Xiaoxia felt that it was a bit too deliberate for the three of them to go to Annie to eat and drink, so she rejected Xiaozhi's unreliable proposal.
"Let's think about where to find the big crystal rock snake as soon as possible!"
"I also want to see that kind of rare Pokémon!"
"Then……"
"After we find the crystal rock snake, let's go back to find Annie?"
"Maybe in time for dinner?"
Although the other party had already treated the guests yesterday, and it was always a bit uncomfortable to eat and drink with them today, Xiaoxia, who was short of money, could not care so much.
In her opinion, their situation will continue to be as bad as it is now in the next period of time, unless Xiaozhi really gets good results in the Orange League competition, otherwise, they are afraid that they will really
The only option is to ask Dr. Ohki or his family for travel expenses.
"That's fine!"
"Then let's prepare first and then set off to investigate!"
Xiaozhi had no idea at first, but now that he heard what Xiaoxia said, of course he changed his mind and agreed directly.
"Prepare?"
"What do you need to prepare?"
At this time, Xiao Jian on the side felt a little strange and couldn't help but come over and ask.
"Of course I have to fill my stomach first!"
"I'm starving to death!"
"I want to eat all kinds of delicious food!"
Xiaozhi didn't even think about it and directly said what he wanted to do most and most urgently at the moment. After all, they had been hungry all night.
"Beep! Beep!"
The Pikachu at his feet also echoed and cheered.
Come to think of it, they took the 'Chenglong' Laplace and swam across the sea from Jingan Island to Pongan Island. After a night of tossing, they were physically and mentally exhausted and they definitely needed to eat something to rest and replenish their physical strength.
.
“It’s okay to eat!”
“But eating and drinking is out of the question!”
"Annie just ran off to play by herself, unless you can find her and then shamelessly ask her to help pay the bill?"
Without even thinking about it, Xiaoxia directly rejected Xiaozhi's naive idea.
"Yes!"
"Why did I forget this again!"
There was a pause at first, then Xiaozhi scratched his head in embarrassment, and then sighed in frustration and said resentfully:
"Looks like we have to eat seafood noodles again..."
"How annoying!"
Now the three of them really don't have much money. If they follow Anne, they can really eat and drink as much as they want. They can also eat whatever is delicious and expensive. But if there are only three of them.
, then you really can only order the cheapest seafood noodles.
After all, in a tourist resort like the Orange Islands, everything is expensive, but seafood is the cheapest. Moreover, it is the kind that can be widely supplied, allowing tourists to eat it every day until they are tired of it!
"??"
"Beep..."
And when he heard that it was seafood noodles again, even Pikachu couldn't help but lament in frustration, and then the pair of pointed ears that were originally erect with excitement also drooped a little aggrievedly.
"Let's go!"
"Let's find a noodle shop first and order three large bowls of noodles!"
"Then……"
"After you've eaten, go and ask someone to find out what's going on with the crystal rock snake?"
Xiaoxia, who knew it was useless to complain, did not intend to continue talking. She just pretended not to mind and clapped her hands, and then hugged her Togepi to signal to the frustrated Xiaozhi, Pikachu and the equally indifferent Xiaojian.
People hurry up and follow.
'Qiaoki Qiaoki~biuuuuu~'
When he heard that he could finally eat again, Togepi, who was being held by Xiaoxia, naturally waved his little hands excitedly and cheered, not at all dissatisfied because he had to continue eating that kind of seafood noodles.
mean.
Come to think of it!
Togepi's appetite is not big, and he is satisfied with just a few noodles. Moreover, for his fragile body, the noodles that can be chewed are obviously more palatable to him.
However, at this time...
Not far behind Xiaoxia, Xiaozhi and Xiaojian, two guys wearing white uniforms with a big red 'R' letter on their chests and a meow poked their heads out from around the corner.
"Did you hear that?"
"Crystal Rock Snake!"
"It sounds like it's very valuable and rare!"
"If we can find it first, then our Rockets will be prosperous!"
"Or take it back and give it to the boss to make amends?"
"That's right!"
"Besides, you have also seen that the scary little Guitou and the others are separated. This is a great opportunity for us!"
And they were none other than Musashi, Kojiro and Meow Meow from Team Rocket!
As for their mortal enemies, Kosanro and Yamato, they are probably still imprisoned in the prison on Jingan Island, and it is unknown whether the boss of Team Rocket has bailed them out again.
"So!"
"We can't waste time here!"
"quick!"
"Let's go see if we can find clues before they do?"
"Meow~!"
"That's it!"
"Set off!"
then!
The two people who had quickly made up their mind retracted their heads furtively and planned to find the big crystal rock snake first, Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi, and then try to catch it.
