"In that case, the first goal is to go to Ponkanjima, and then come back and rest for a day, and then go to the fruit seven islands."

Kona sat on the couch in the living room and listened to Karp talk about his plans to come to the Orange Islands. After all, Karp stayed at home for a day with her, which in itself was unplanned, and he stayed here, and Karp did agree to train with her in his spare time.

In that case, it's time for the two of them to leave here and go to the rest of the Orange Islands.

Kona is originally from the Orange Islands, so naturally there are no special places to go when he comes back this time. On the contrary, Karp had already decided where he was going.

However, after Karp's explanation, Kona gave Karp a map, but Karp didn't feel any effect...... After all, according to the map of the Orange Islands, Ponkan Island is to the west of the Frozen Island, and the Seven Islands of Fruit are to the east of the Frozen Island, and even the distance is about the same—at least on the map, it is difficult to see which one is farther.

However, for the locals, Kona directly decided the order of travel.

"On the way to the Seven Islands of Fruit, you may encounter some choppy currents, and in severe cases, you may even encounter whirlpools.

There are no obstacles on the way to Ponkan Island. ”

Listening to Kona's explanation, Karp nodded.

"That's it, let's go recover the elves first, and then go to the Seven Islands of Fruit to find the rumored swimming Kirbymon."

"Hmm."

Kona's reaction was the same as always, but it was clear from the look in her eyes that she cared about the swimming Kirbymon.

But after thinking about it for a while, Kona also reacted, compared to that, what needs to be accomplished now is something else.

"Karp, what exactly is the elf you want to catch on Ponkan Island?"

Kona blinked, then asked.

If it was in front of other people, maybe Karp would think about it. But yesterday he had already shared the secret of the single dragon with Kona, and Kona's reaction was completely trustworthy.

Confirming this, Karp raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"The Great Crystal Rock Serpent."

The name of the Crystal Rock Snake may be regarded as a rather unfamiliar term in other places, but for Ponkan Island, which is good at glass craftsmanship, the Crystal Rock Snake is called the God of Glass.

However, the reason for this name is not because of who has seen this elf, but because of the work of one of the most powerful masters of making elven statues out of glass on this island, the Crystal Rock Serpent.

This is the information that Kona found on the road with a tablet-like device, and then her eyes fell on Karp.

"Are you going to catch this kind of craft?"

She held up her tablet-like device with a blank face, on which a carved picture of a large crystal rock snake was carved.

Karp actually felt a little amused when he looked at Kona, and he did laugh.

"No, I'm going to catch the real elf, the Crystal Rock Serpent."

Hearing Karp say this, Kona looked into his eyes and was sure that Karp wasn't lying, but that he should have really gotten some information about the Crystal Rock Serpent. Confirming this, Kona's eyes showed a more fervent gaze than Karp's.

"In that case, I want to see it, and ...... it."

Kona took out his money bag, rummaged through the savings card and cash, and confirmed the amount of money he currently had, and then there seemed to be some kind of light in the depths of his eyes behind his glasses.

"—If you can, I'd like to buy the carving of this crystal serpent."

Karp looked at Kona, who didn't intend to catch the elves but had burned before him, and shook his head with a wry smile, and then followed the dragon's head to the island of Ponkan, which was getting closer and closer.

For the crystal rock snake, he did learn some information from the animation, but whether he could encounter it or not was a matter of luck.

If you're lucky, you might be able to meet it all at once, and if you're unlucky, you might have to wait for a while. You know, patience is essential for a trainer who wants to catch rare elves, and Karp spent more than a dozen hours a day crouching in a cave in Alola with his DS to catch the Burning Worm before crossing over, and he spent months in a cave in the Sinnoh region looking for a land shark in the same way.

So patience is theoretically indispensable - but that being said, Kap and Kona's time can be spent waiting for a maximum of ten days. If you haven't encountered the crystal rock snake for ten days, you can really only give up for the time being.

After that, if Kirbymon learns to swim quickly, he can do it again in the remaining time. However, it is more likely that Karp will come here again the next time he has the opportunity, waiting for the appearance of the crystal rock snake.

With such preparations, Chenglong also stopped on the beach of Ponkan Island.

Kona retrieved the dragon and stepped into Ponkan Island with Karp.

"Karp, are you in a hurry?"

Kona said these words as he stepped into the shopping street of Ponkanjima. She didn't put her face on Karp, but Karp could probably guess what she was trying to do.

"You don't have to rush over right away, if you want to buy a carving of the crystal serpent, I'll go with you."

Kona heard Karp's words and followed the path she had just found through the guide.

"That's what I want, so wait a minute, if I get it, I'll want to put it in your compression backpack first."

"yes, I see."

Karp wouldn't say anything about Kona's request, but if he guessed correctly, the carving of the crystal serpent should be of special significance to the old man who carved it.

Maybe that's not something you can buy with money.

With this in mind, Karp followed Kona down the shopping street to the door of a carving shop in a central location.

Originally, Kona came with the intention of buying the crystal big rock snake, but after seeing some glass carvings such as dragon riding and iron armor shell, he still couldn't control his hand.

By the time she had picked them all out, Kona's gaze finally shifted from the carving in the shop to the old man sitting behind the counter.

"Let's buy so much of these first-store manager, I heard that you have a carving of a crystal rock snake here, can you sell it?"

The old man sitting behind the counter glanced at the combination of Kona and Karp, who looked like a newlywed, and laughed slowly.

He'd heard too many of these questions, and he would give the same answer every time.

"Not for sale."

He first refused with righteous words, then smiled and continued to speak.

"But if you can accomplish one thing, I can give you the carving of the Great Crystal Rock Serpent."
