Chapter Summaries

Yu Hai and the island’s Pokémon stopped the forest fire, and the Grass-type Pokémon’s Grassy Terrain revived the burned land and healed the injured. Yu Hai brought the unconscious Poliwhirl, Kingler, and Long-winged Gull home, where mysterious lights and a silver feather reached them during the night.

• Yu Hai had the Water-type Pokémon use Water Gun and Rain Dance, bringing a downpour that extinguished the forest fire as Pokémon across the island fought to save their homes.
• Yu Hai searched the burned forest for Poliwhirl, Kingler, and Long-winged Gull until Oddish led him to a Grassy Terrain where the three lay unconscious and badly burned.
• Grass-type Pokémon expanded the Grassy Terrain, healing injured Pokémon and restoring the scorched forest while Yu Hai watched.
• After the ceremony, Yu Hai found Poliwhirl, Kingler, and Long-winged Gull healed, thanked the Oddish, and carried the still-unconscious Poliwhirl back to the Treehouse.
• During the night, three lights entered Poliwhirl, Kingler, and Long-winged Gull, and a glowing silver-white feather fell onto Poliwhirl’s belly.

After the forest fire, Yu Hai discovered that Lugia had left a Silver Feather and strengthened the Pokémon who fought the blaze. He planned to keep his team rested while caught between the Spirit Hunter and Overlord Fearow, unable to leave the island until Long-winged Gull evolved.

• Yu Hai found a Silver Feather on Poliwhirl and suspected Lugia had helped extinguish the fire and left it as a gift.
• Yu Hai checked Poliwhirl's, Kingler's, and Long-winged Gull's panels and found improved stats and the Rain Dance move; Butterfree showed no notable changes.
• Yu Hai ordered Kingler to stay in a basin and use Harden while absorbing fish bones because his shell was still soft.
• Yu Hai let the Pokémon rest and told them to conserve their strength against the Spirit Hunter; Poliwhirl grew angry but was discouraged by the enemy's power.
• Yu Hai concluded that the Spirit Hunter wanted to escape with Overlord Fearow's chick, Overlord Fearow would stop him, and Yu Hai was trapped between them until Long-winged Gull evolved into Pelipper.

Yu Hai chose to help the Overlord Fearow hunt down the Spirit Hunter, hoping to rescue its chick and earn a chance to leave the Deserted Island alive. After Long-winged Gull revealed the Spirit Hunter’s hiding place, the Fearow Flock attacked his tent, forcing him to release his Pokémon.

• Yu Hai weighed his options and decided to help the Overlord Fearow rather than trust the Spirit Hunter or wait passively.
• Yu Hai sent Long-winged Gull to find the Spirit Hunter, who was hiding in a tent at the edge of Beedrill Territory with Golbat, Pidgeot, and Magneton guarding him.
• Long-winged Gull told Pidgey where the Spirit Hunter was and urged it to report his location to Fearow and destroy his tent.
• Pidgey informed the Overlord Fearow, which led the Fearow Flock to the Beedrill Territory.
• The Overlord Fearow attacked the tent with a powerful Storm, forcing the Spirit Hunter outside; he released his six Pokémon as the Fearow Flock descended.

The Spirit Hunter’s battle with Overlord Fearow’s flock turned into a war of attrition, and Fearow killed Pidgeot before forcing the hunter to flee through the forest. Despite recognizing how dangerous his situation was, the hunter remained determined to keep Pidgey and its potential worth tens of millions, leaving him pursued and unable to escape the island.

• The Spirit Hunter woke to Overlord Fearow’s attack and used Electabuzz’s Thunder to strike the flock, while Fearow ordered its Pokémon to wear down his team.
• Both sides fought a prolonged battle, with the Spirit Hunter rotating Pokémon and supplies as Fearow’s flock harassed and attacked them.
• Overlord Fearow killed Pidgeot with Steel Wing, and the Spirit Hunter recalled Golbat and Gyarados before retreating into the forest with his remaining Pokémon.
• Fearow’s flock chased the Spirit Hunter through the forest, repeatedly attacking whenever he tried to rest and preventing him from reaching the shore.
• At night, the Spirit Hunter reflected on Pidgey’s value and his peril but refused to release it, clinging to the hope of becoming wealthy and powerful.

Yu Hai ambushed and killed the Spirit Hunter, subdued his Pokémon, and recovered the captured Pidgey. After feeding Pidgey and earning enough trust to return her to her Poké Ball, he planned to take her home the next morning.

• Yu Hai and his Pokémon used Sleep Powder and Stun Spore to incapacitate the exhausted Spirit Hunter, Overlord Fearow, and the surrounding Pokémon.
• Yu Hai slit the sleeping Spirit Hunter’s throat, knocked out Electabuzz and Golbat, and locked the Spirit Hunter’s Pokémon inside their Poké Balls.
• Yu Hai searched the Spirit Hunter’s body and backpack, then returned to the Treehouse with his Pokémon and the captured Pidgey.
• Yu Hai fed Pidgey honey and used Rhyhorn to reassure her; Pidgey agreed to return to her Poké Ball for the night.
• Yu Hai checked Pidgey’s Proficiency Panel, confirmed her potential was 57%, and went to sleep planning to release her the next morning.

Yu Hai returned Pidgey to Overlord Fearow and persuaded her to let him and his Pokémon leave the island peacefully. Overlord Fearow left two Pidgeotto to watch them, while Rhyhorn remained behind and Tyrannosaurus learned his son was with Yu Hai.

• Yu Hai told Pidgey and Rhyhorn they should go home and asked Pidgey to tell Overlord Fearow he would leave the island within a week and avoid its center.
• Overlord Fearow flew to Yu Hai’s Treehouse after finding the Spirit Hunter dead and his belongings missing.
• Pidgey reunited with Overlord Fearow, explained that Yu Hai had treated her kindly, and asked her not to hurt him or his Pokémon.
• Rhyhorn stood with Yu Hai’s group, and Pidgey persuaded Overlord Fearow to leave them unharmed; Fearow assigned two Pidgeotto to watch them before taking Pidgey home.
• Yu Hai and his Pokémon relaxed after Overlord Fearow left, but Rhyhorn stayed behind to keep eating.
• Overlord Fearow told Tyrannosaurus that his son was with Yu Hai, and Tyrannosaurus went into the forest to look for him.

Yu Hai searched the Spirit Hunter’s backpack, assessed the captured Pokémon and supplies, and chose Hasa Island as his next destination to avoid the hunter’s acquaintances on Jinggan Island. His inventory search was interrupted by Rhydon’s arrival, and Rhyhorn tried to keep her father from attacking Yu Hai by promising to fetch him honey.

• Yu Hai examined the Spirit Hunter’s five powerful Pokémon and realized that Slowpoke and Farfetch'd were likely being kept as food.
• Yu Hai sorted through the backpack’s food, clothing, medicines, and outdoor supplies, then marked Hasa Island as his next destination on the Orange Islands map.
• Yu Hai discovered bags of Pokémon food and gave some to Rhyhorn, who eagerly ate it.
• A powerful Rhydon approached, and Yu Hai’s Pokémon gathered around him as Rhyhorn recognized her father’s footsteps.
• Rhyhorn ran to Rhydon and explained that she had stayed with Yu Hai for the honey, then stopped Rhydon from charging by offering to fetch it.

Yu Hai sent Rhydon and Rhyhorn away by giving them Pokémon food and honey, then searched the Spirit Hunter’s belongings and tested a Mystic Water on Poliwhirl. He found a Pokémon Egg with brown markings and began guessing what might hatch from it.

• Rhyhorn persuaded Rhydon not to attack Yu Hai and negotiated for Pokémon food and honey to take home.
• Yu Hai gave Rhyhorn the requested supplies, and Rhydon left with Rhyhorn following close behind.
• Yu Hai examined the Spirit Hunter’s money and books, then found a Mystic Water and a Magnet among the belongings.
• Yu Hai had Poliwhirl test the Mystic Water, confirming that it strengthened Water Gun, and decided to save the item for later.
• Yu Hai searched the backpack again, found a Pokémon Egg with brown markings, and considered which Pokémon might hatch from it.

Yu Hai sorted through the Spirit Hunter’s belongings, then Long-winged Gull evolved into Pelipper while eating lunch. After Pelipper joyfully tested her new body, Yu Hai tried riding her to see if they could leave the island, but she could only lift him five meters into the air.

• Yu Hai packed the Pokémon Egg and the Spirit Hunter’s belongings, then called his Pokémon back for lunch.
• Long-winged Gull ate Water-type Pokémon food and evolved into Pelipper, whose Potential reached 69% and whose Ability became Drizzle.
• Pelipper flew off to explore the sky, then returned and rested beside Yu Hai.
• Yu Hai decided he would leave the Deserted Island the next day and tested whether Pelipper could carry him in flight.
• Pelipper managed to lift Yu Hai, but she could rise only five meters before she could go no higher.

Yu Hai released Slowpoke and began earning its trust while preparing to release Farfetch'd, whose hatred of humans made him expect a fight. Kingler intercepted Farfetch'd’s attack, but the exhausted Pokémon remained driven by revenge.

• Yu Hai released Slowpoke, and Butterfree offered it food and reassurance until it began to feel safe with him.
• Yu Hai petted Slowpoke, then comforted a jealous Butterfree and reminded her to keep training before they left Deserted Island.
• Yu Hai sent Pelipper to fetch Kingler so it could subdue Farfetch'd when he released it.
• Farfetch'd charged Yu Hai with Quick Attack and Fury Cutter, but Kingler blocked its strike and countered with Mud Shots.
• Farfetch'd knocked the Mud Shots aside, used Leer and Roost, and stayed standing despite its exhaustion, sustained by its desire for revenge.

Yu Hai and his Pokémon subdued the fiercely hostile Farfetch'd, then prepared to leave the Deserted Island the next morning. After announcing their departure, Yu Hai recalled Farfetch'd and ended the exhausting day with everyone settling in for the night.

• Farfetch'd used Sand Attack and a powerful Revenge to knock Kingler unconscious, but she also fainted; Yu Hai admired her fighting spirit and had Poliwhirl counsel Kingler.
• Yu Hai left food and water with Slowpoke for Farfetch'd, while Poliwhirl and Kingler guarded her and battled her whenever she woke and challenged them.
• Yu Hai washed his borrowed clothes and backpack, cleaned himself, and cut his hair; Poliwhirl later knocked Farfetch'd out with a single attack, then fought her more gently in a rematch.
• Yu Hai practiced flying with Pelipper and told his Pokémon that they would leave the Deserted Island after breakfast the next morning.
• After dinner, Yu Hai let Farfetch'd eat, then caught her in a Poké Ball when she tried to fight again, and everyone went to sleep.

On the day Yu Hai planned to leave the island for Hasa Island, he considered stopping at Fula Island No. 4 but decided not to disturb its dormant Kabuto. A crab swarm attacked during breakfast, and Yu Hai and his Pokémon fought back as Kingler stayed behind its forces.

• Yu Hai packed his dried clothes and supplies, stole honey for breakfast, and planned a route through Fula Island No. 4 while deciding to leave its Kabuto undisturbed.
• Rhyhorn and Pidgey arrived to share the honey, and Yu Hai worried that Fearow might follow them.
• Spinarak sensed an approaching crab swarm, whose Kingler boss demanded their honey and threatened to crush them.
• Kingler ordered its crabs to attack after Poliwhirl challenged it to a duel, and Yu Hai assigned his Pokémon roles in the battle.
• Poliwhirl and Rhyhorn held off the charging crabs while Spinarak, Butterfree, and Pelipper supported them, and Pidgey used Razor Wind to stop a crab from ambushing Poliwhirl.

Yu Hai’s Pokémon defeated the attacking Kingler and drove off its crab swarm, but Poliwhirl and Rhyhorn were injured. As Yu Hai prepared to leave the Deserted Island, Rhyhorn tried to follow him, and Rhydon refused to let it go.

• Kingler defeated the opposing Kingler, breaking the crabs’ morale and ending the battle.
• Yu Hai treated Poliwhirl and Rhyhorn, gathered the defeated crabs, and prepared to leave with his Pokémon.
• Fearow arrived to take Pidgey home, then stayed when it learned that Rhydon was coming.
• Rhydon arrived with other Wild Pokémon and found Rhyhorn still eating beside Yu Hai.
• Rhydon refused to let Rhyhorn leave with Yu Hai, but Rhyhorn hid behind Yu Hai and kept following him.

Yu Hai refused to let Rhydon take Poliwhirl away, but Rhydon’s offer to let Rhyhorn join him turned out to include special training for Poliwhirl. Yu Hai waited on the island while Poliwhirl trained, and Pelipper reported that Rhydon was teaching him a new move.

• Rhydon learned from Poliwhirl that Yu Hai had refused Rhyhorn because he feared causing trouble, then agreed to let Rhyhorn go with him if Poliwhirl came with her.
• Yu Hai rejected Rhydon’s demand to take Poliwhirl into the forest, but Rhydon blocked the group’s escape and the island’s Wild Pokémon formed a barrier to protect them.
• Rhydon explained that she wanted to train Poliwhirl, and Poliwhirl chose to go with her after Butterfree reassured Yu Hai that he was safe.
• Pelipper followed Rhydon, Poliwhirl, and Rhyhorn into the island’s center and saw them battle, with Rhydon teaching Poliwhirl a move using a frost-covered fist.
• Yu Hai remained behind, sent Pelipper to watch over Poliwhirl, and had Butterfree treat his injuries; Butterfree later returned and confirmed that nothing serious had happened.

While Yu Hai waited at the Treehouse for Poliwhirl to return, Poliwhirl trained with Rhydon at the island’s central lake and learned Megaton Punch. Rhydon began teaching him Megaton Kick, while Poliwhirl looked forward to telling Yu Hai how much stronger he had become.

• Yu Hai spent several days waiting for Poliwhirl and Pelipper, while his other Pokémon trained, played, and kept him company.
• Rhydon trained Poliwhirl in Waterfall, Megaton Punch, and how to use his whole body’s strength, while Poliwhirl practiced carrying rocks and punching a tree.
• Poliwhirl remembered Yu Hai as he ate the meals Butterfree delivered and continued training late into the night.
• Poliwhirl mastered Megaton Punch, first felling a tree and then shattering a boulder with a Waterfall-powered strike.
• Rhydon praised Poliwhirl and began teaching him Megaton Kick as the next stage of his special training.

After six days away, Poliwhirl returned to Yu Hai with Pelipper, Butterfree, and Rhyhorn, and the group reunited over a late-night meal. Yu Hai treated Poliwhirl and Rhyhorn’s injuries, reviewed their improved abilities, and prepared to leave the island the next day.

• Pelipper returned to the Treehouse and pointed Yu Hai toward Poliwhirl, who appeared battered but determined with Butterfree and Rhyhorn.
• Yu Hai hugged Poliwhirl, welcomed the returning Pokémon to a late-night meal, and listened as Poliwhirl and Rhyhorn shared their experiences.
• Yu Hai cleaned and treated Poliwhirl and Rhyhorn’s injuries, then cooked Kingler and dried Sharpedo for the group.

Yu Hai left the Deserted Island after receiving farewell gifts from its Wild Pokémon and flew toward Fula Island No. 4 on Pelipper. After six or seven hours over the sea, Pelipper spotted a small rocky island and collapsed from exhaustion after landing.

• Yu Hai and his Pokémon shared breakfast as Wild Pokémon arrived with farewell gifts, which Yu Hai and Butterfree accepted and returned with bread.

Yu Hai and Pelipper traveled from a small deserted island to Fula Island No. 4, where Yu Hai had Poliwhirl block the underwater entrance to a hidden Kabuto cave before they continued toward Hasa Island. After a long flight, they reached another island and camped there, planning to identify their destination and explore human society the next day.

• Yu Hai camped overnight on a tiny island, then set off with Pelipper after the rain cleared.
• Yu Hai recognized Fula Island No. 4 by its bay and spotted Kabuto in the water, but chose not to catch them.

• An old man watched Yu Hai leave and discovered the blocked entrance, deciding to protect the Kabuto.
• Yu Hai and Pelipper flew northeast past boats and island chains, avoiding contact with strangers and reaching a larger island after several hours.
• Yu Hai made camp on the island and told Poliwhirl, Kingler, and Spinarak to guard him while he slept.

Yu Hai flew to Hasa Island’s port city and explored its Pokémon Center and bustling battle district while avoiding Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny. He failed to get a view of the packed headline battle, then watched a match between a Poliwhirl and a Kingler.

• Yu Hai woke at ten at night, packed his tent, and flew with Pelipper toward the island’s brightest city.
• He found the Pokémon Center from the air, landed nearby, and entered the lively streets with Spinarak on his shoulder.
• Yu Hai spotted Nurse Joy inside the Pokémon Center but kept walking to avoid drawing attention as an unregistered resident.
• He tried to watch a popular battle between a Blastoise and a Feraligatr but could not get through the crowd.
• Yu Hai found space at another arena, where a Youngster’s Poliwhirl and another Youngster’s Kingler traded inaccurate Water Guns.

Yu Hai explored the city, tested his ability to speak Japanese, and assessed how the League maintained order before deciding to approach the young Trainer he had seen battling. He hid outside the Pokémon Center and watched Little Fatty argue with his mother, setting up his plan to learn how to become a League-certified Rookie Trainer.

• Yu Hai watched a novice battle end with Poliwhirl defeating Kingler, then left because the next match did not interest him.
• Yu Hai tried to buy popsicles and discovered that he could speak Japanese, though his voice came out painfully hoarse.
• Yu Hai fled to an alley, calmed himself, and concluded that he could handle social interaction and that the city seemed safe enough to explore.
• Yu Hai decided to seek information about becoming a League-certified Rookie Trainer and went to the Pokémon Center, where Little Fatty was treating Kingler and Wooper.
• Yu Hai hid outside and watched Little Fatty video-call his mother, who threatened to deduct a week's allowance unless he came home.
