Chapter 4 Heading to Hauale City

The night was still very long, but in order to avoid getting cold and sick due to the constant sea breeze, Hoshino looked at the map and took the Motorized Lizard to the vicinity of Ten Carat Hill.

There are many caves washed out by the sea water here, which are occupied by some wild giant crabs as nests, but as long as you don't disturb them, it's okay to stay in there for a night.

Perhaps it was tired, so the Motorized Lizard lay down next to the stone wall and slowly fell into a deep sleep, while Hoshino lay on the protruding structure behind its back that was similar to a car seat, which was just enough for a person to lie down on, which was quite comfortable.

"This map function is quite easy to use. Not only are city streets and small locations marked in great detail, but even some places where Pokémon populations exist in the wild are also marked and introduced in detail."

Hoshino is still tinkering with mobile phones. As an indispensable necessity of life, he needs to understand this thing first. Maybe there are some hidden functions that have not been discovered.

He switched between the panel and mobile phone modes and found some differences.

In the former, many apps have been disabled, and the only ones that can be used are dating apps, maps, and phone calls, which are the main functions of the phone.

Maybe it's just for speed and convenience, allowing you to help more Pokémon. There's just one problem, there's no network on your phone right now.

Previously, the Rotom mobile phone should have automatically connected to Dr. Barnett's home network, and then loaded the map of Alola. Now, the network is automatically disconnected when the distance is far away.

Fortunately, the time has been updated on the phone, which is still very important. The time on the lock screen of the phone is now October 26, 1:36...

"It turns out it's already October. Even in a tropical area like Alola, it's normal for the temperature to drop slightly, let alone at night."

As he said that, Hoshino switched his phone to panel mode so that he didn't need to carry it with him. It was also convenient and he could look at the map at any time.

The first thing you need now is to find a place to live. Otherwise, if you have no fixed place to live, the possibility of encountering danger will greatly increase.

If you want to find a place to live, you have to go to Hau'ola City. As the largest city in Alola, I believe there must be a lot of abandoned houses. There are always houses that are idle due to high housing prices.

Moreover, Hoshino also has an idea, which is to find a temporary job in Hauale City where no ID is required, and make money first before talking about anything else.

"I feel like I'm almost becoming a vagabond, bro, but don't really live by opening treasure chests."

Just thinking about it, he felt very sleepy, so he lay on the Motorized Lizard and gradually fell asleep.

The sea breeze outside gradually subsided, and the moonlight reflected on the sea, making the waves sparkling and making it quiet and peaceful.

On the beach, the dune doll is completely integrated into the sand. A sea cucumber has climbed onto it without noticing it, and several good and bad stars are huddled together in groups.

At this moment, the entire Melemele Island seemed to have fallen into a dreamland...

The temperature gradually increased, and it was noon at some point. Various unknown sounds came from outside, causing Hoshino to wake up from his sleep... In fact, he didn't know whether he was dreaming or not.

"The first sleep after time travel, unexpected... hmm?"

Hoshino suddenly realized that he was still lying on the Motorized Lizard, and it had already woken up and was looking at the crabs gathering together to eat not far away.

The food of these guys is a few unknown sea fish. It seems that in addition to humans and Pokémon, there are also normal animals in this world.

Otherwise, how do you explain those meaty foods? It’s impossible for everyone to be chewing on the tail of a Slowpoke or scratching the claws of a giant claw crab, right?

The motorcycle lizard just lay on the ground and looked at them, with an expression on his face that wanted to eat fish, which was almost overflowing. Maybe it was because Hoshino was still sleeping, so he didn't move for fear of disturbing him.

"Mo Lizard~"

As soon as Hoshino woke up, the Motorcycle Lizard had already noticed it. After he got off his body, he stood up and clapped his hands with an extremely excited expression.

"Are you hungry?"

"Mo Lizard Mo Lizard~"

Listening to its cry, Hoshino glanced at the crabs eating fish over there. He already understood what it meant and smiled.

"Okay then, let's go find food first!"

"Mo Lizard~"

When several giant claw crabs saw them approaching suddenly, they thought they were coming to attack or grab food, so they immediately waved their claws in a threatening posture.

Seeing this, Hoshino just smiled slightly, and then walked past with the Motorized Lizard, waving his hands and saying, "Thank you very much for allowing us to stay at your house for one night..."

"???"

The crabs were blowing bubbles, their expressions were a little confused, and they obviously didn't understand what they meant. However, after seeing them leaving like this, they lowered their guard and continued to eat...

Hoshino will not just grab their food casually. After all, he needs to continue to build friendships with Pokémon, so it is best not to cause unpleasantness.

But for those wild Pokémon that attack on their own initiative, we definitely cannot continue like this. Only fools will stand still and let others attack them.

After leaving the cave at Ten Carat Hill, he came to the seaside again. During the day, the Melemele Sea was quite lively, and people could often be seen riding giant-winged flying fish, riding the big waves and sailing towards the distance.

"The giant fin flying fish surfing, a specialty of Alola, seems to be quite fun..."

Hoshino looked at the sea with some excitement, and at this time, the Motorized Lizard had already locked onto its prey!

It immediately pounced into the sea water and caught several fish near the shore, including a smaller carp.

Then they all hugged each other and shouted happily in front of Hoshino: "Mo Lizi Mo Lizi~"

"It's awesome...but you better eat it."

Watching the Motorized Lizard hand over the fish, Hoshino waved his hand, because the fish here were all species he had never seen before. It was not safe to just eat sashimi if he didn't understand it. It was better to be more careful in the wild.

Humans and Pokémon cannot be treated in the same way. Most of the things they can eat may be poisonous and fatal to humans.

So he decided to pick tree fruits to satisfy his hunger, but looking at the fish that the Motorized Lizard had thrown on the ground, he reached out and picked up the constantly jumping King Carp, and then threw it to the sea.

"This is not fun to eat. Almost the whole body is made of bones, and your teeth will break if you bite into it."

Although he said this, Hoshino knew that Magikarp was included in the recipes of many wild Pokémon because of its extremely fast reproduction speed and terrifying survivability. It can survive from the deep sea to the smelly ditch.

When you find something to eat, eat Magikarp.

But at this moment, a notification sound suddenly came from the mobile phone. When I took it out, I didn't expect that it was a bonus special effect...

[Acquire the friendship of Magikarp: Water splash jump (you can cancel the back shake when jumping to achieve faster continuous jumps, but it is actually useless)]

"This... friendship is too cheap!"

Hoshino was completely confused. If he really wanted to explain it, it would be that Carp King was mentally retarded and expressed his gratitude casually. I'm afraid it didn't even know what it meant.

In any case, it is better than nothing. Even if it is a talent with unknown meaning, there may be other talents that can be matched in the future.

And he also discovered that this talent is not restricted to so and so, which means that this talent can be used by both trainers and Pokémon.

But now in the dating app, it is shown that only your own little avatar can be used, and Biker is not among them. Maybe because it has not been conquered, it cannot be regarded as your own Pokémon.

"Sure enough, we still have to conquer it quickly!"

However, after Magikarp's sudden situation, he suddenly discovered something. Some Pokémon that are stupider or are naturally friendly to humans have a higher probability of gaining their friendship, so you can start with the lucky eggs.

Start?

After waiting for the Motorized Lizard to finish eating the fish, Hoshino helped it build a ladder again and picked some more fruits from a nearby fruit tree to fill its stomach.

After everything was settled, he didn't plan to stay here anymore. He had enough time now to find a place to live first before talking about anything else.

"Let's go! Let's go to Hool's City!"

"Mo Lizard~"
