Freshwater, Freshwater

The next day, the fourth day of being stranded on the deserted island.

Yu Hai was awakened by a bird. When he opened his eyes, he saw that their grilled fish stuck in the sand had been half-eaten by a damn Long-winged Gull.

Seeing this, Yu Hai was so angry that his eyes spat fire. He was furious and instantly stood up to pounce on the Long-winged Gull.

But he missed. The Long-winged Gull had long noticed the sleeping Two-legged Beast, flapped its wings, and dodged the Two-legged Beast's attack.

"Caw, caw, caw..."

At the same time, it laughed loudly, mocking Yu Hai, the Two-legged Beast, for overestimating himself, wanting to catch it without wings.

After chasing away the Long-winged Gull, Yu Hai immediately protected the grilled fish. The Long-winged Gull's cry also woke up the Poliwag who was sleeping and drooling.

When the Poliwag saw that most of the grilled fish in Yu Hai's hand had disappeared, with a large piece missing, and the Long-winged Gull flying in the sky constantly mocking them, it was immediately furious.

"Poli, poli," the Poliwag immediately used Bubble Attack on the Long-winged Gull in the sky.

That is, it opened its pink little mouth and spat bubbles at the Long-winged Gull in the sky, but the little bubbles that the Poliwag spat out couldn't hit the Long-winged Gull at all, and they exploded and disintegrated.

This scene made the Long-winged Gull in the sky flap its wings even more, making a louder mocking cry, "Caw caw..."

Hearing this mocking sound, the Poliwag was even more angry and decided to use another ranged Skill, Ice Ball Attack, to attack the Long-winged Gull.

But just as the Poliwag condensed a piece of ice the size of a little finger at its mouth, before it could launch the Ice Ball, the Ice Ball melted.

This scene once again drew laughter from the Long-winged Gull, "Caw caw, caw caw..."

The Poliwag had no way to deal with the Long-winged Gull's ridicule. It couldn't hit the Long-winged Gull at all and could only let the Long-winged Gull mock it. It was so aggrieved that it was about to cry.

The Poliwag turned its head and looked at Yu Hai with its big, black, tearful eyes, crying to Yu Hai in grievance.

"Poli, poli..."

The Poliwag was complaining to Yu Hai, wanting Yu Hai to help it take revenge.

Faced with this request, Yu Hai was also helpless, because he couldn't fly either.

Although he didn't like the Long-winged Gull in the sky, he had no way to teach the Long-winged Gull a lesson. He could only wait for the Poliwag to grow up. Maybe then he could teach the Long-winged Gull in the sky a lesson.

"Poliwag, I can't fly either," Yu Hai squatted in front of the Poliwag, reached out and stroked the Poliwag's head, comforting the Poliwag who was crying from anger, and encouraging the Poliwag.

"Poliwag, don't be discouraged, we can't fly, but after you evolve, you can hit it..."

"Poli?" The Poliwag didn't understand, but this human was so gentle, it wasn't angry anymore, and was ready to listen to what this human was saying about evolution.

"It's like this, you eat the grilled fish first," Yu Hai didn't know how to explain evolution to a Pokémon, so he had to draw the appearance of the Poliwag's evolved form, the Whirlpool Warrior, on the beach.

While the Poliwag watched Yu Hai draw, it turned grief and anger into appetite, took a big bite of the grilled fish Yu Hai handed over, and puffed up its cheeks, showing off to the Long-winged Gull in the sky angrily.

Seeing this scene, the Long-winged Gull couldn't even cry out, and didn't stay to cause trouble, but flapped its wings and flew away.

Seeing that the annoying guy in the sky had been angered away by it, the Poliwag's anger subsided, and it was also very proud. It had finally won a round, and it was a little happy in its heart, looking down at the Whirlpool Warrior sketch drawn by Yu Hai.

The drawing on the sand was a Pokémon with protruding eyes, legs, and feet. Was this what it would look like after evolution?

"Poliwag, this is what you will look like after you evolve," Yu Hai put down the branch and answered the Poliwag's question.

He admired the sketch he drew, which could only roughly show the outline of the Whirlpool Warrior, but it was roughly like this.

"Poli, poli," the Poliwag saw what it would look like after evolution, walked forward and stepped on the outline of the Whirlpool Warrior, calling out to Yu Hai.

"Are you saying, you want to become like this?" Yu Hai guessed and pointed to his drawing.

"Poli," the Poliwag nodded, affirming Yu Hai's guess.

This could be considered the first time the two had communicated so smoothly, which made Yu Hai wonder if they were each speaking their own language.

But, it didn't matter, at least because of a common enemy, they had reached a consensus, which was a good thing.

As for the Poliwag's evolution, it was still too far away. It needed to be at least level twenty-five. Before, defeating the Wishiwashi and Sharp-toothed Fish only added 0.5 experience points.

If the Poliwag wanted to gain the experience to evolve, it had a long way to go.

The human and the Poliwag both had a common goal, but just then, that annoying mocking sound came again.

Not only did it come, but it also pooped on their heads. It was the extremely vengeful Long-winged Gull, coming to take revenge without delay.

"Poli, poli," the Poliwag exploded again when it saw the bird poop on the drawing.

Immediately, it opened its mouth and frantically outputted towards the Long-winged Gull in the sky, sending friendly and cordial greetings to the Long-winged Gull in the sky.

"Caw, caw, caw..."

"Poli, poli, poli..."

Seeing these two Pokémon like this, Yu Hai couldn't help but smile. He wouldn't interfere in the quarrel between these two, he had more important things to do, which was to collect dew and find Freshwater with the plastic bottle he picked up yesterday.

From yesterday morning to this morning, he hadn't drunk a drop of Freshwater. His lips were already chapped, and his throat was so thirsty that it was about to smoke.

It was great to have grilled fish to eat, but his throat was hoarse, and his throat hurt when he spoke.

Because he was too thirsty, coupled with the fish that had been dried, he could no longer feel the existence of his throat.

If he could find Freshwater today, maybe he could even drink a mouthful of fish soup, but this was undoubtedly a luxury.

He knew that there must be Freshwater on the island, but he didn't dare to go. He just wanted to find Freshwater, not to die.

Pokémon lived on the island, so it was certain that there was Freshwater, and it was also possible that Freshwater would flow out.

Although he didn't know anything about Desert Island Survival, he knew about Freshwater.

He walked around the edge of the desert island, looking for places where the soil and rock crevices were relatively damp.

These past few days had been scorching, so if he could still find damp places, there would definitely be Freshwater.

Either it was underground seepage, or Freshwater flowing from the center of the island.

With a target in mind, finding Freshwater became much simpler. He only needed to observe which patch of ground had the most Overgrown grass.

Only constantly moist soil could sustain grass that continued to Overgrow under consecutive days of scorching sun, so there definitely had to be a water source.

Soon, less than a hundred meters from the shelter, he found a patch of grass that was growing more Overgrown than the others.

He had never noticed this before, but now that he calmed down and looked for it, he actually found it.

Next, all that was left was to dig...
