Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

However, the market has always been a case of supply falling short of demand, and many people still post tasks to seek purchases.

It's impossible for Tetsuya to raise all these kinds of Pokémon, so the best way is to take them from the wild.

Unlike the Paras family, which prefers to live in dark and damp places, the Pangolin prefers to live in dry places, and the degenerate Pangolin is even more afraid of water and usually stays far away from water.

Walking in the opposite direction from where he came from, and starting to move away from the river, Tetsuya randomly chose a cave entrance and went inside.

Five minutes later, Tetsuya and Riki-chan came running out in a sorry state.

"How come there's an Armored Tyrannosaurus Rex in this godforsaken place? It's so unreasonable that such a high-level Pokémon would live in such an outer region."

Tetsuya kept complaining, but he didn't dare to slow down even a little bit. The strong chicken followed behind, using its hands and feet to destroy the entrance of the hole and block it with rubble.

They then quickly followed the trainer away, only able to hear a loud noise coming from far behind the blocked opening.

Chapter 33 Misfortunes Never Come Singly (Bonus Chapter in Advance)

Tetsuya is currently in the outer region of Mt. Tsukimi, where most of the Pokémon are beginners or average, with very few elites. The closer you get to the inner region, the stronger the wild Pokémon become.

Even among elite-level Pokémon, Ironhide Rhyperior is extremely powerful.

Normally, a one-horned rhinoceros will evolve into a Tyrannosaurus Rex around level 40, but this varies from person to person.

Judging from its appearance, that armored tyrannosaurus doesn't seem to have just evolved, meaning it's at least level 45.

Let alone the fact that Pidgeot cannot be released in this confined space, even if Pidgeot were released, under the condition of type advantage, Pidgeot, even if it has better aptitude, would not be able to gain an advantage against Tyranitar.

The Mighty Chicken's fighting skills do offer some advantages, but in close combat, it will only get beaten up.

After all, the difference in height and weight is too great, and coupled with the suppression of level, it can no longer be offset by the development brought by high aptitude.

After running around in circles for about twenty minutes, making sure he could no longer hear the armored tyrannosaurus, Tetsuya finally relaxed a little, cursing his bad luck.

"Damn it, I managed to run into such a powerful armored tyrannosaurus even on such an outlying area."

"Luckily, I had habitually used a drone to scout the way beforehand, otherwise we would have been wiped out if we had gone up there."

Tetsuya felt a pang of pain as he recalled how his drone had been discovered by the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus Rex, which then used a large rock to smash it to pieces.

Although the drone wasn't expensive, even a small amount is still something.

Although as long as the GPS device was still intact, he could go to Devon Company to get a new one based on the wreckage, he dared not go back to collect the wreckage.

All I can say is that I'll have to spend more money to buy a new one.

This drone is essential for scouting; otherwise, if I had led the attack myself, I would probably be nothing but mincemeat by now.

I took another look at my location after the escape. Luckily, I was careful not to run too far into the depths of Tsukimi Mountain while I was running. Now my position is only a little bit outward.

Tetsuya took a detour and restarted his mission.

..............

"Bah bah bah."

At the exit of a cave on Mount Tsukimi, a young man in tattered clothes ran out panting, his body covered in dust.

Following behind was a slightly tired and injured strong chicken.

Without even bothering to clean himself up, the man threw out a luxury ball, "Pidgeotto, take me away."

A flash of red light appeared, and Pidgeot appeared on the ground. The man secured himself and recalled his Mermaid, and Pidgeot quickly flew towards Pewter City.

Only a few elves that had just run out of the cave were left watching him leave from afar.

"Don't go so high, go lower, just a little bit lower."

Tetsuya was a little flustered.

Yes, the man who was just in a sorry state is our protagonist.

Tetsuya was led back to the entrance of the road to Pewter City by Pidgeot, far away from where they had been, before Pidgeot finally put him down.

As soon as he landed, his legs were still a little weak. After all, working at heights is a bit terrifying. If it weren't for the need to escape those elves, he wouldn't have used this method to run away.

After removing the protective gear from Pidgeot's adventure suit, Tetsuya recalled Pidgeot into its Poké Ball.

Patting the marks off his body, Tetsuya hurriedly ran towards the Pokémon Center.

He handed the strong chicken to Miss Joey for a reply, then went back to his room and took a shower.

The handsome young man then reappeared in the mirror in front of him.

Tetsuya let out a breath, finally able to completely relax.

Recalling what had just happened at Mount Tsukimi, I couldn't help but feel that misfortunes never come singly.

"I should be lucky to have caught that Pichola, so why did my bad luck start this afternoon?"

Puzzled, Tetsuya lay on the bed, wanting only to rest. After all, he had been on the run for over an hour, almost killing himself.

Let's go back to the time after we got rid of the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Over the next hour, the person and their pet successfully encountered three Paras and a small group led by Sandslash.

The strong chicken easily dealt with them, and the three tasks were thus completed.

But looking at the time, it was still early, just past noon.

Zhe decided to continue exploring for a while to see if he could find any unexpected gains given his good fortune.

After all, it has managed to dodge the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus Rex, so it should be the dominant force in this outer area. Just be careful in other places.

Unfortunately, this exploration went awry.

Mt. Moon is a large area with a wide variety of Pokémon. Attracted by the Moon Stone, not only rare Pokémon like Clefairy live there, but other Pokémon are also drawn to it.

It is precisely Nidoking and Nidoqueen, Pokémon that require a Moon Stone to evolve into their final form.

Normally, this wouldn't be a big problem, since the normal Nidoking and Nidoqueen would only exist in deeper places.

Although Nidoran and Nidoran evolve shortly after the beginner level, they need a Moon Stone to evolve into Nidoqueen and Nidoking, which can only be found deep in the Mt. Tsukimi Mountains.

Moonstones will not appear in places like the outer perimeter.

It is said that the meteorite fell deep into the Tsukimi-yama mountain range, and the Moon Stone was created by the meteorite's power, which is why there is no Moon Stone on the outer perimeter.

Nidoqueen and Nidoking usually appear in pairs, so almost no one has ever seen these two Pokémon on the outskirts.

And wouldn't you know it, Tetsuya ran into it. What a coincidence!

When he saw Nidoking and Nidoqueen making love inside the cave he had entered, he was completely devastated.

He turned around and ran off with the strong chicken.

King Nido and Queen Nido realized what was happening and immediately flew into a rage, chasing after him frantically.

As for the idea of ​​having the strong chicken fight the two of them, it's not only a good idea, but it's pure suicide.

Because the other side won't fight you one-on-one at all.

At first I didn't realize it, but then I realized that the two Pokémon were probably only around level 30, and that the Combusken should be able to beat them both.

Unfortunately, the other side is calling for help.

Nidoking and Nidoqueen, both around level 30, have a bunch of underlings on the periphery. Although none of them are elites, a multitude of ants can kill an elephant.

Imagine an army of Zubats, Geodude, Magnemite, and Sandshrew approaching and chasing you.

In this situation, wouldn't turning around and attacking back be a free gift?

Tetsuya and Riki-chan decisively began their escape.

Fortunately, the terrain of Mt. Moon is complex, and these Pokémon are generally not very fast. Even the faster ones are slowed down by their companions, and Combusken occasionally battles to slow down their speed.

Otherwise, Zhe also doubted that he would have to run for another hour or so, until he was exhausted and vomited blood.

They created some distance and found a cave from which they could get out; that's what happened next.

It's hard to say whether this is good luck or bad luck. After all, not to mention Tyranitar, even if Nidoking and Nidoqueen only have elite potential, they are still very valuable in the black market.

Thinking of this, Tetsuya took out his GPS device and made a mark.

A gentleman takes his revenge even after ten years.

Tetsuya thought angrily, "I'll remember this grudge from today's chase. Once Merach evolves, I'll catch you all and exchange you for money."

Chapter 34 Making Money and Returning to Pewter Gym

After resting for a while and feeling that he was ready, Zhe retrieved the Mighty Chicken and set off to complete the three tasks.

After all, I still have to train the Pokémon in the afternoon, so I can't afford to slack off for even a moment.

The total task reward after settlement was 22.

Not bad. With the 480 million contributed by Pichu, I earned a full 500 million today.

"So it really is a matter of strength," Tetsuya thought to himself on his way to train in the Tokiwa Forest.

Putting aside the unexpected windfall of Pichu, based on today's efficiency and earnings, with proper planning, I could earn nearly 70 in a day by completing tasks normally, which is equivalent to my income for the past month.

So in the afternoon, while Pidgeot and Combusken were working hard to achieve their training goals in Viridian Forest, Tetsuya was also planning the arrangements for the next four or five days.

First, there's a 4-hour training session in the morning, from 6 to 10 am. After that, we go back to the Pokémon Center for lunch and rest, then pick up our missions and set off around 11 am.

We expect to return from Mt. Tsukimi or Viridian Forest around 2 PM to rest and then do another round of missions.

The second time I came back, it was around 5 p.m. After dinner, we started our regular training at the Pokémon Center's training grounds.

Around 10 PM, I went back to my room to look at the materials provided by Nibi Dojo for a while and then rested.

Tetsuya revised it for a while and realized that this was probably the limit.

"However, if I choose to use Pidgeot for the round trip, I should be able to save about half an hour for both rounds."

Touching his chin, he was starting to feel a little tempted.

Having an extra half hour can prevent the task from taking too long and disrupting the plan, and it can also allow for more training or a longer rest.

That seems like a good option.

Tetsuya felt that for the benefits of this precious half hour, it wouldn't be a problem to control his fear a little.

I'll be flying around sooner or later anyway, so experiencing it now is better than experiencing it later.

So starting the next day, Tetsuya began using Pidgeot as his tool Pokémon and started a four-point money-making life: Viridian Forest, Mt. Tsukimi, Pokémon Center, and Bounty Hunter Center.

Oh wait, there's also a black market buying point.

After all, even if an elite-level Pokémon doesn't have any special strengths, it can still fetch a price.

Although not many wild elves reach the elite level, he encountered quite a few over five days, and he took them all to the purchasing point to sell.

........

Five days later, Tetsuya, who had arranged to meet Xiaogang in the afternoon, unusually gave himself and the spirit a day off.

Lying on the sofa in the room, I calculated what I had gained over the past few days.

Excluding the first day, I completed 12 C-level tasks in the following four days, earning 78, plus 4 B-level tasks, earning 100.

Including the four elite-level Pokémon I caught, I sold them for a total of 420 million.

In other words, he earned a total of 1100 million in five days?

Even though I spent nearly 100 million in the past few days, I still have a net income of 1000 million.

Tetsuya was a little stunned. He had earned almost a quarter of the price of a Fire Stone?

Thinking about it, it doesn't seem so abnormal.

This income is determined by many factors, and it's something that the average trainer can't achieve.

Firstly, the premium treatment at the Pokémon Center saved Tetsuya a lot of queuing time, waiting time for treatment, and treatment costs.

Without this benefit, my efficiency would drop significantly, and my expenses would increase.

At the same time, the bounty hunter's mission authority has been raised by one level. Otherwise, B-level missions might not have been affected, and C-level missions could not be accepted at the same time until one reached the B-level bounty hunter level.

My efficiency will drop by more than half again, since there aren't that many B-level missions available, and I can't just take them whenever I want.

Secondly, while the income may seem substantial, nearly half of it actually comes from Pichu's earnings; luck cannot be considered a normal factor.

Thirdly, and most importantly, Zhe also has Zero who can distinguish the level of wild Pokémon.
