Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

He made a special trip to Ston Town this time at Archie's invitation; otherwise, there would have been no need to take the detour.

"Ding dong."

Tetsuya rang the doorbell.

"Coming, coming!" Archie's voice came through the intercom next to him, it seemed he had been waiting for a long time.

Soon, a tall, thin young man with bright red hair came running to the door.

Welcome!

Archie gave a perfunctory bow.

Tetsuya rolled his eyes. "Stop pretending. Let me in and sit down for a bit. I'm tired from walking."

Archie laughed and didn't say much, then led Zhe to his family's living room.

"So, you actually want me to help you pick out Ibu?" Tetsuya raised an eyebrow and said to Archie, who had just explained in great detail.

“Yes, because our fourth brother, Taiyi, has been born, and we older brothers naturally have to prepare for his future as an elf.” Archie nodded.

"Furthermore, this also relates to which Pokémon Taiyi will choose Eevee to evolve into in the future!"

Tetsuya complained, "Let your younger brother decide this himself in the future. If the three of you come, you'll probably end up arguing all over the place."

"At least, if Taiyi chooses the Eevee I prepared for him, I will have a good reason to convince him to let Eevee evolve into a Flareon like me!"

Seeing Archie's optimistic thoughts, Tetsuya suppressed his complaints. "With your three brothers having three different personalities and liking three different types of Pokémon, how could it be so easy?"

As for the rule that you can't officially own a Pokémon if you're not old enough, there are countless ways to avoid it. For kids, it's fine to just treat it as a pet.

"So, what kind of Eevee personality are you planning to get?" Tetsuya asked.

"Hmm... I guess it's the kind that's cute and introverted. After all, my fourth brother is like that too. If he's too lively, I'm afraid he won't be used to it. If he's a little introverted, the two of them might become more lively as they play together."

Archie pondered for a moment and then put forward his idea.

Tetsuya nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

As for the relevant qualifications, the Eevee family has a special breeding base for Eevee, and all Zhe needs to do is select from there; he doesn't need to worry about that.

Actually, the Eevee family could have chosen breeders they hired themselves, but in Archie's words, that wouldn't have allowed him to show his concern as an older brother.

If they weren't so lacking in talent, they would all want to do it themselves.

So the three brothers simply found one of their friends and each chose one, and finally let the younger brother Taiyi choose for himself.

Archie then approached Tetsuya.

“I don’t have a breeder’s certificate,” Tetsuya replied to Archie at the time.

"That thing is just proof. I know your abilities all too well." Archie said, completely unconcerned. Although they hadn't known each other for very long, he had long been impressed by Tetsuya's extensive knowledge and abilities in their daily conversations.

Tetsuya, thinking about Archie's confidence in himself, had to admit that it was really easy for people to like him.

"So, when are we going to pick one?" Tetsuya took a sip of tea and looked at Archie.

Archie glanced at his watch: "Wait a few minutes. You've come at the perfect time. My second brother and his friend are choosing something right now."

"Fine," Tetsuya shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.

Anyway, we're resting here today at Archie's request, and we can choose where we want to leave tomorrow morning.

Then the two started chatting, mainly Archie asking Tetsuya how he trained Fire-type Pokémon, and Tetsuya picked out a few things to tell him.

Seeing him nod occasionally, Tetsuya wondered if he understood. He was worried, as Archie's grades weren't very good.

"Ding~"

A message came from Archie's watch, and Tetsuya had a feeling that they were about to set off.

Sure enough, Archie looked delighted after reading the message and said to Tetsuya, "Let's go, my second brother has finished choosing, it's my turn. After we're done, we'll take him directly to Taiichi and let him choose for himself."

After saying that, he stood up impatiently and walked outside, urging Tetsuya to follow him quickly.

Tetsuya shook his head helplessly. Young people are just so impetuous. He followed Archie out at a leisurely pace.

The two quickly walked to the back of the villa area, where there was a fully equipped incubation room.

Pushing open the door, I saw dozens of Eevee dogs running around on the ground.

"Good heavens." Tetsuya couldn't help but exclaim. Even though he knew it was a big spender, this was still too much.

It's worth noting that Eevee is very popular and valuable, after all, it's so cute.

It is brown overall, with cream-colored tips on its fluffy tail and the downy fur on its neck. Its short, thin legs appear quite agile, and its brown eyes blink frequently as it looks at you. Its long, rabbit-like ears and small black nose are also constantly twitching as it senses its surroundings.

Tetsuya bent down and began to pet Eevee. Its soft fur felt incredibly comfortable to the touch. It was wonderful.

"Then I'll have to trouble you with this." Archie clasped his hands together and asked Tetsuya.

“Okay, give me some time,” Tetsuya replied, then began to observe each of the Eevee.

This is not a simple matter.

A Pokémon's personality is often revealed in its daily habits, movements, and fur. Without a vast amount of knowledge, it is very difficult to judge a Pokémon's personality in a short time.

Moreover, the outward appearance of a Pokémon is often quite different from its inner personality, which depends on the breeder's experience.

Especially here, with so many Ibrahimovic, the workload and difficulty are even greater. If it weren't for Zheyou's photographic memory, he would have been overwhelmed long ago.

Tetsuya observed silently, occasionally making notes of a particular Eevee.

Chapter 164 The Pharmacist in Pine Algae Town

Archie teased Ibuki from the side.

As the third young master of the Eevee family, he was naturally familiar with these little guys and often came here to play with them.

"Alright." Tetsuya's sudden voice clearly startled Archie, whose body trembled slightly.

"Huh? That fast?" Archie exclaimed in disbelief, then, feeling a bit impolite, explained, "I mean, do you want to take a closer look?"

"Don't worry, it's absolutely perfect." Tetsuya shrugged at him, his confidence convincing Archie.

“Okay, which one?” Archie asked.

Tetsuya then grabbed an Eevee by the scruff of its neck from the group of Eevees and pulled it out.

It seemed as if its fate had been seized, its eyes wide open, quite bewildered.

In other words, Eevee has a gentle nature and isn't from the wild, which is why it can do this.

"Buyi?"

Little Eevee let out a weak cry, "Why are you picking me up?"

"This little guy seems to be sociable, playing with the other Eevee, but he is actually very wary and keeps walking around me."

Moreover, judging from its walking movements and leg development, its characteristics are most likely to be escape foot rather than adaptation.

Judging from the luster, length, and fineness of its fur, as well as Eevee's attitude towards it, it should be a small member of the pack, or perhaps a relatively introverted individual who receives more care.

After all, Eevee is a Pokémon that doesn't bully its own kind.

In addition, the Eevee's mane was meticulously groomed by itself; the white fur at the tip of its tail was similarly well-groomed. From this, we can see that...

Although Archie trusts Tetsuya completely, some explanation is still necessary.

Archie stared blankly at Tetsuya, who was talking non-stop, and raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, I give up. This is too troublesome. You decide. Let me inform my older brother and second brother first, and then we'll go to Taiichi's room and let him choose directly."

As he spoke, he picked up his wristwatch and started sending messages.

Tetsuya picked up Eevee and brought it in front of him, then looked at it for a moment.

"Ee~"

Eevee shyly covered its face with its two forelimbs, but unfortunately, they were too short to be of any use.

Just as Tetsuya continued to tease it, Archie also sent a message: "Let's go, let's go straight to Taiichi's room. My older brothers have already set off."

He grabbed Tetsuya's other free arm and pulled him outside.

Tetsuya had no choice but to hug Ibu in a different way.

As for Togepi, he was put into a Luxury Ball to sleep as soon as he entered the town.

"Taiyi, your third brother is here~!" As the two arrived at the door of a detached house, Archie excitedly pushed open the door.

"Heh, Archie, you're still as impulsive as ever," a man with golden, needle-like hair chuckled and said to Archie.

“Yes, don’t rush it. It’s up to Taiichi to make his own choice.” Another person with blue, fin-like hair also smiled.

The two seemed to have been there for some time.

"What kind of unconventional stuff is this?" Tetsuya thought to himself, but at least they were easy to recognize.

The one with yellow hair must be the eldest brother, Raizo, who has the Thunder Spirit, while the one with blue hair should be the second brother, Mizuki, who has the Water Spirit.

Their hairstyles are probably all styled to resemble their Eevee evolved forms.

"This must be Tetsuya Tamaki. I've heard so much about you."

However, compared to the impulsive Archie, Raizo and Mizuki, as the eldest and second eldest brothers, were indeed much more composed, and greeted Tetsuya in a rather friendly manner.

For them, the first thing to understand is the outstanding descendants or investment targets of each dojo, and the exceptionally talented Tetsuya is naturally among them.

Tetsuya also greeted him with a smile, wondering what kind of famous person he could possibly be.

"Bringing guests here is so impolite, Archie. They came to help, and you won't let them rest properly." Raizo was still scolding his third brother.

Archie was timid and submissive, showing no signs of the fire element's volatile nature.

"We just picked them out, and Archie was getting impatient, so he dragged me over." A wicked smile crept across Tetsuya's lips as he looked at Archie's pleading gaze.

Archie glanced at Tetsuya in disbelief.

"Hmph, I'll deal with you later." Raizo looked at Archie, snorted coldly, and then walked into the house, seemingly just saying it for the sake of saying it.

"How could you mess with me like that? We're doomed now. Big brother is definitely going to give me a good dressing down." Archie and Tetsuya trailed behind Raizo and Mizuki, complaining to their mischievous friends.

"Ha, I just got you out of that predicament," Tetsuya retorted with a light laugh.

Archie rolled his eyes. "Thank you so much."

Ibu was held in Tetsuya's arms, looking at the two strange people with a puzzled expression.

"Is Taiichi still in his room?" Raizo asked the butler beside him.

"Young Master, the Young Master has just finished his studies for the day and should be having lunch at the restaurant," the butler replied.

The group then changed direction.

Wow, it's huge. Tetsuya felt that the house where his fourth brother Taichi lived was even bigger than the villa he used to live in in the middle of nowhere in Tokiwa City.

"It's good to be rich," Tetsuya sighed inwardly. "But I guess I'm a rich person too."

"Taiichi, today is the day you choose Eevee as your Pokémon."

Archie was the first to rush to the front and push open the door.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, and this big brother, hello." A boy with a hairstyle that looked like the hair on Eevee's neck greeted them timidly and very politely.

Tetsuya grinned at him, "Hello there, little brother Taichi."

Raizo and Mizuki didn't hesitate either, immediately releasing their prepared Eevee from their Poké Balls and placing them on the table in front of Taichi, along with the Eevee in Tetsuya's arms.

The three Eevee dogs lined up in a row, with the Eevee sitting on its hind legs and its tail constantly wagging.

"Come on, Taichi, make your choice!" Raizo said with great momentum.

Tetsuya felt this scene was familiar, yet strange. What if Eevee were a girl...?

Ah no, he shook his head, his thoughts seemed to have inexplicably gone astray.

"Let's go with this little Eevee." After just one glance, Taichi made his choice, which was the same one Tetsuya had picked.

"Yay!" Archie excitedly pumped his fist.

Raizo and Mizuki advised, "Why don't you take another look? Taichi, you're being too hasty."

"No, no, no, the bond is established from the first glance, that's enough." Archie said anxiously from the side, and was even happier to see Taiyi nod firmly because of his words.

Raizo and Mizuki exchanged a glance and shrugged helplessly.

The two little Eevee pups were only on the field for three minutes before they were taken back.
