Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

This is actually very important, and most trainers cannot accurately determine this without equipment in the wild.

Therefore, they will avoid direct encounters and battles with wild Pokémon unless they are their target or there is no other way to avoid them.

Otherwise, if they are unable to win or get injured, it will pose a great threat to their lives and safety in the wild.

Zhe didn't have this concern, and could obtain the greatest benefit while ensuring the combat strength of both sides.

The four Pokémon whose strength is roughly equivalent to those who have just entered the elite level are the best proof of this.

Otherwise, if you try to avoid them and just go looking for your mission target, you'd be lucky to encounter one every ten days or so.

After all, if the target group is too large or too powerful, and you can't defeat them to complete the mission, you'll have to give up and start searching again.

Finally, Tetsuya's strength also increased. With Combusken and Pidgeot, he could easily defeat most elite-level Pokémon, at least in Viridian Forest.

Due to its terrain, Mount Tsukimi presents several inconveniences compared to other places.

Only by combining all the factors mentioned above could Tetsuya achieve such an astonishing income.

Otherwise, even a trainer of the same level as Tetsuya would only earn around 10 yen at most in five days if they maintained the same training intensity and development expenses.

That trainer was just lucky.

However, you shouldn't do that under normal circumstances, and I suddenly got a little carried away.

Tetsuya began to reflect on himself.

After all, with training and battles every day, there's not much time to rest. While their own bodies were struggling to keep up, both Pokémon were visibly showing signs of fatigue and their condition was declining.

It's generally better to balance work and rest most of the time. It's more reasonable to train one day and do tasks the next, and the impact on income won't be significant.

Following his own plan, he would stay in each city for about a month, spend eight months at the eight dojos, and have about a month left for training, just in time for the opening of this year's Quartz Convention.

The construction of their own main team will also be much faster.

Tetsuya underestimated the speed at which his Pokémon were improving. Putting aside Pidgeot for the moment, the difficulty of leveling up was also greater as the level increased, and there had been basically no change in the past four days.

Through four days of continuous battles and training, the Mighty Chicken has leveled up again, now reaching level 27.

At this rate, by the time I leave Pewter City, Mighty Chicken will probably have already broken through to Elite.

By then...

"Ding~" The Elf Watch interrupted Tetsuya's thoughts.

When he opened it, he saw a message from Xiaogang asking if he had set off.

Looking at the time, Tetsuya realized there was only half an hour left, so he hurried off, as being late was never a good thing.

I replied to Xiaogang with a message that I had already set off, and ran all the way to the entrance of Pewter Gym, where Xiaogang was already waiting.

"Sorry, I'm sorry I'm late." Tetsuya said, a little embarrassed.

"No, there's still some time. I was just being a little impatient," Xiao Gang said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.

"Since we're here, come inside with me. Let's go see my little Geodude first, and then we'll talk about the things I gave you."

Tetsuya nodded and followed Tsuyoshi into the dojo.

Chapter 35 The Training Plan for Geodude

As Xiao Gang walked through the dojo, the staff and students greeted him.

“You’re quite popular,” Tetsuya joked.

"Hahaha, of course! I'm very approachable." Xiao Gang tilted his head and looked at Tetsuya.

As the two ventured deeper, the number of people around them gradually decreased, replaced by rooms and spaces.

"These are six breeding rooms, each corresponding to a different level of Pokémon. There is a dedicated team of breeders responsible for taking care of the Pokémon inside. If you have any Pokémon that need fostering, you can leave them here for free."

Some apprentices' Pokémon are also fostered here; they only need to pay a small fee and we will take care of their training.

"This is the training ground, which is divided into seven sections, each responsible for different aspects of training. You can come over here to train later; it's hard to explain just by talking."

Xiao Gang pointed to the rooms on both sides and kept introducing them.

"As for this area, it's the activity area. Elves usually relax and play around here. Next to it is the treatment room. The Joy family has a partnership with us and will provide some of the services, which are also free for you."

Over there is the incubation room, where the Pokémon eggs are incubated and preserved. We'll go there in a bit.

At the very back are the individual breeding rooms for me, my father, and my grandfather, mainly for our own Pokémon.

As Tetsuya watched and listened to Brock's introduction, he realized that it was no wonder that the members of these gyms and families were far stronger than ordinary trainers under such a systematic and holistic training system.

The creation of these configurations and environments alone would require the efforts of several generations, not to mention the value of the people and the elves.

However, there are some strange things: "Isn't this training ground excessively large?"

Tetsuya pointed to the enormous training ground and asked.

"Actually, it's alright, because besides our family's own training, it's also open to some outstanding dojo apprentices and guardians."

It's a semi-open area, with many people training at the same time, so the space required is naturally large.

After all, each trainer keeps their training methods a secret, and it's important to ensure everyone has their own space.

Moreover, the actual area is at least ten times larger than what you see. Our Nibi Dojo is backed by mountains and forests, and the part behind it is also our own training ground.

Some of the older elves lived in the rear and no longer fought.

Xiao Gang explained Tetsuya's doubts in detail.

However, the meaning behind his words shocked Tetsuya, who realized that the dojos and clans in this world were even more exaggerated than he had imagined.

The entire area behind it belongs to Pewter Gym. They've marked out their own territory; what a show of arrogance.

He had never encountered this content before, so naturally he was unaware of this point.

Reaching the end of the dojo, Xiao Gang took out his key and opened the door. "Alright, this is my training room. Please come in."

Tetsuya followed him in. It was a very simple and unadorned rocky area. Well, apart from being ridiculously large, it didn't have any other special features.

Xiao Gang walked behind a rock and squatted down.

"Geosphere, wake up."

"La sai~"

Then a gray, round stone with a human face on it floated out in the air; it was Geodude.

That wasn't all. Xiao Gang then tapped the ground with the shovel beside him, saying, "Orochi, come out here for a bit."

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, a giant rock snake, composed of several huge gray rocks and shaped like a snake, emerged from the ground.

"Roar~~"

The Onix that came out also greeted Brock.

Tetsuya looked at Brock, "Is this the Geodude?"

"Yes, this is my second elf, which has just passed its infancy stage."

I've given you all the data that has been tested with the instruments; now I'd like to ask you to provide a specific cultivation plan.

Onix's words were simply to introduce you to my starter Pokémon, which is already an elite.

Xiao Gang said with a smile.

Tetsuya nodded and walked up to Geodude.

Geodude looked at the boy curiously. Its trainer had told it long ago that someone would be in charge of its training.

It was eager to become stronger, so that the larger Onix would stop mocking its weakness.

Tetsuya looked at the little stone for a while, then stood up.

"Just to be on the safe side, Xiao Gang, please take Little Geodude and do another test. I'll watch from the side."

“No problem, this way.” Xiao Gang had expected this.

He sent Onix to rest, then led Tetsuya and Geodude toward the door on the right side of the arena.

Turn on the lights.

"This is the testing room. The instruments inside basically cover all the things that need to be tested for Pokémon, and the accuracy is very high."

As he spoke, he had Little Geodude cooperate with him to conduct a complete set of tests.

Seeing Xiaogang busy, Tetsuya also kept learning.

After all, these kinds of testing rooms are not usually visible from the outside.

If you want to check the specific status of your Pokémon, apart from when you're getting a certification level, you'll have to pay someone to do it for you, and even then, it's just a report.

He didn't know what the functions of each instrument were; he had only come into contact with them briefly when he was studying at the Alliance School.

This should be an energy display device, this is a density meter for Rock-type Pokémon, this one is for attack testing, and that one should be for damage resistance testing...

The items in the room alone would cost tens of millions, Tetsuya thought to himself in astonishment.

By the time the whole process was completed, more than an hour had passed. Not only was Little Geodude exhausted, but the two people next to him were also a bit tired.

After receiving the report, Tetsuya said to Kotsuya, "That's enough. Take a short rest first, let me take a look."

"Okay." Brock nodded and put the Geodude into the Poké Ball.

Place it on the nearby teleportation device, and the little geomancy stone will be transported to the treatment room for recovery.

The two sat down on the sofa next to them, and Xiao Gang poured two more glasses of water.

"Thank you." Tetsuya took the water and thanked Kogoro, then carefully read the report.

Of course, this was all an act. At this point, Tetsuya had already integrated all the information through Zero's panel, including the design of the cultivation plan.

However, no breeder can provide a solution so quickly, not even a breeding master.

Therefore, he had to pretend to be thinking.

Taking out his laptop, Tetsuya began to write down his thoughts and plans.

Xiao Gang remained completely unhurried, leisurely brewing tea and occasionally operating something via his wristwatch.

Two hours passed quietly like that, and it was almost time for dinner.

Xiao Gang then spoke up to remind Tetsuya.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't notice the time." Tetsuya seemed quite embarrassed.

"No, no, no, you're helping me, there's nothing to apologize for." Xiao Gang waved his hand, indicating that Zheye didn't need to be so formal.

"But it is indeed time for dinner, why don't you have dinner at our dojo?"

"As for the training plan, just go back and finish it and send it to me. We'll go and finalize your benefits after we finish eating."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony," Tetsuya said without hesitation.

The two walked towards the restaurant, chatting and laughing.

Chapter 36 Investment in Nibi Dojo

"You can choose a Pokémon egg from there or exchange it for 3000 million in breeding funds. It's up to you."

After finishing their meal, Xiao Gang took Zhe to the hatchery to choose an Elf egg.

Generally speaking, outstanding civilian trainers, besides accepting the Joy family, will at most reach investment agreements with two or three other factions.

Because each faction has allies and conflicting interests, if a trainer accepts investment from too many factions, conflicts may arise, leading to a situation where they neither side helps the other or fight each other.

This is certainly not what these forces want to see. They can't expect you to take resources for free, so this rule was formed through their tacit understanding.

Tetsuya's decision to accept Nibi Dojo's investment was based on thorough investigation and analysis.

Nibi Dojo, as one of the eight oldest and most powerful dojos in the Kanto region, is an excellent choice.

After all, Viridian City Gym is owned by Giovanni, Cerulean City Gym is declining and investors will be more cautious about investing there, and Vermilion City Gym has a poor reputation and is relatively weak.

The Rainbow City Gym Leader provides financial assistance to female trainers; the Crimson City Gym requires trainers to know ninjutsu; the Goldenrod City Gym Leader requires trainers to know psychic abilities or have psychic-type Pokémon; and the Crimson City Gym Leader, Blaine, has an eccentric temperament.

In summary, of these eight gyms, only Pewter Gym is somewhat normal.

Tetsuya also has a golden touch; the support from the Joy family and the Pewter Dojo is enough for him to get through the early stages.
