Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Unbeknownst to him, an elf with a blue gem-like headdress, surrounded by white, wind-like ribbons, and adorned with blue and white patterns, was silently watching the man and elf disappear into the distance, gradually becoming a black dot.

If Tetsuya saw it, he would recognize it immediately—it was Suijun, the embodiment of the North Wind.

Standing on the lake, radiating blue light, Suicune vanished into the forest mist in the blink of an eye. This was a place where it often appeared, though of course, no one knew.

"Wuhu~"

In the sky, Tetsuya waved his arms and cheered, facing the oncoming wind.

The eagle graciously slowed down.

Even so, with Pidgeot's flying speed, Tetsuya quickly arrived at the first destination of his trip along the main road.

Seeing the town faintly visible, Pidgeot and Tetsuya landed on the ground.

"This is Ruoye Town."

The town where the winds begin to blow.

Retrieving his Pidgeot, Tetsuya looked at the sign on the wooden plaque and snapped his fingers with a pretentious smile.

"Please show me your identification."

A soft voice came from behind Tetsuya.

“Yes, Miss Officer Jenny.”

Tetsuya didn't move an inch, and under Officer Jenny's somewhat surprised gaze, he took out his encyclopedia from his pocket.

Professor Oak's voice came at just the right time.

"Okay, inspection complete. Welcome to Wakaba Town, the capital city."

Officer Jenny saluted Tetsuya.

Afterwards, she winked at Tetsuya, saying, "A true genius trainer, you live up to your name!"

Tetsuya smiled politely and shrugged.

Officer Jenny smiled and quickly disappeared into the surroundings, hiding herself away.

After putting away the encyclopedia, Tetsuya glanced at the simple map that Officer Jenny had just handed him, found a direction, and stepped into Wakaba Town.

"Hello, City Alliance."

Chapter 297 Dr. Kongmu, who loves to act and talks incessantly

"Oh no! Professor Elm has been attacked by a group of Ootachi in the wild again!"

As soon as Zhe entered Ruoye Town, he saw a person wearing a white coat who looked like a researcher shouting.

For some reason, he kept feeling that the researcher's shouts sounded a lot like the catchphrase of a certain Marshal Tianpeng from his previous life.

Moreover, the use of "again" is quite exquisite.

The researcher's gaze drifted towards Tetsuya, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

Tetsuya patted his forehead speechlessly.

According to Dr. Yamanashi's description of him, this is one of Dr. Emi's few quirky interests.

Originally intended to test the personality of new trainers and get to know them better, it seems this time they're targeting him.

This is different from another PhD student, who was actually attacked in the wild, since that involved his research.

The idea that Dr. Kuroki was attacked by Ootachi was a joke.

Anyone who knows a little about Dr. Elm knows that his Ootori is the leader of the Ootori clan near Wakaba Town.

It's truly ingenious that your own spirit can command its own minions to attack you.

Furthermore, Dr. Elm's research focuses on Pokémon breeding and Pokémon eggs, and he doesn't normally conduct field research in the wild.

Nobody wants to go looking for death.

For more details, please refer to Tetsuya, who was chased by King Nido and Queen Nido.

Even elves who regularly interact with humans would get angry over these two things, let alone wild elves who consider procreation and protecting their offspring as one of their life goals.

Furthermore, can the residents of the surrounding towns please adopt a detached, spectator-like attitude? It's really jarring.

Oh well, I'll just play along.

Tetsuya, who was prepared, quickly waved his hand: "I can help, please tell me the location of the attack."

Well, even he himself gets goosebumps from saying that; it's so fake.

The man who looked like a researcher was taken aback by Tetsuya's straightforward words.

"Hmm... After exiting from the south exit, just turn right onto the leftmost road at the three-way intersection."

But the researcher continued to complete the tasks assigned to him by his teacher.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Before he could finish speaking, Tetsuya's figure had vanished from sight.

"Xiao Mu, can you guys come up with a different formula in the future? This plot has been played out more than a hundred times, I'm tired of it."

An elderly man, leaning on a cane, spoke shakily.

"The teacher likes it this way, and we students can't do anything about it."

The researcher, nicknamed Xiaomu, had a bitter face and looked quite helpless.

Let's get back to Tetsuya, who ran quickly out of the town.

"Seriously, I've only just stepped into Wakaba Town!"

Tetsuya felt his entire impression of Dr. Empiric, whose sense of humor was full of wickedness, was shattered.

Who would believe that Dr. Kumo, who becomes so engrossed in his research that he forgets to eat and sleep and talks incessantly, is an avid actor when he's not conducting research?

When Tetsuya was staying at Professor Oak's lab, Professor Oak had a phone conversation with him.

At the time, Tetsuya always felt that Dr. Kumoki was the kind of person a researcher should be.

Oki, who loves weightlifting, and Yamanashi, who loves sweets, are completely incompatible.

Who would have thought? Sure enough, all those PhDs with glasses are "refined scoundrels".

It seems that Tetsuya inadvertently made a sweeping generalization.

With Tetsuya's excellent speed, Dr. Kumoki, who was being "besieged" by the Ootachi clan, quickly appeared before him.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm saying, Ootori, can you act a little more convincingly? Professor Elm, who's so skinny, knocking a Pokémon away is just too fake."

Tetsuya internally ranted about the scene before him.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Dr. Elm was filming an action scene; he looked exactly like a humanoid elf.

"Don't worry, Professor, I'm here to save you!" Tetsuya shouted, throwing out his Poké Ball.

"Take it easy."

This was the first sentence spoken softly.

"100,000 Volts, Electric Dragon!"

This command was given well in advance.

"Porphyry"

The electric dragon's body crackled with electricity, which was quite terrifying.

"wuli～wuwuli～"

The tails were so frightened that they scattered and fled.

In the blink of an eye, nearly twenty tailed steeds disappeared into the jungle.

Only Dr. Elm, completely unharmed, remained awkwardly standing there.

He sighed inwardly at how unreliable his spirit was.

Regardless of what its keeper thought, Dr. Kuroki's tail was well aware that it was all an act, and that the best course of action was to quickly take its yo-yo home for dinner.

Speaking of which, is it time for some fun this year?

Wei Li's small mind was full of questions, but the little guy had a very accurate grasp of time.

Every year, there's a fixed time for new trainers to pick up their Pokémon, and the time when the Pokémon owner puts on their act is always later than it is now.

This was just an exception that Dr. Kumoki gave Tetsuya.

"Anyway, thank you so much for your help. Why don't you come visit my research institute? ~(￣▽￣～)~"

Looking at Dr. Kumoki, who didn't seem to notice anything amiss, Tetsuya fell silent for a moment.

strong.

"Pfft?"

The electric dragon, still emitting a yellow glow, let out a weak cry.

"Ah, you can stop now, you can stop now. Just release it towards that area over there."

Tetsuya quickly gave some instructions.

Electric Dragon seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

The next moment, a swaying current of electricity shot out from its body.

Calling it an electric current doesn't quite make sense; it's about the amount of two charges, which is useless except for making light visible.

Looking at Dr. Kumoki, who was still acting without any reaction, Tetsuya sighed.

"Speaking of which, Dr. Kongmu, I have a few questions about your previous research on pheromone exchange between the same egg groups of different species of opposite sexes."

He immediately found a solution that could quickly resolve the current problem.

"Oh! You think it's great too, right? Different species of Pokémon produce the same pheromones because of the same egg group. This is probably one of the reasons why there are many interracial Pokémon couples in the wild. But I think more about this can be traced back to a paper I published when I was studying with Professor Oak at Rainbow University, about the transmission of pheromones between Pokémon of the same species. In the third section of the second chapter of that paper, I demonstrated in detail..."

Dr. Kumoki's desire to act was instantly interrupted by his research, and he began to ramble on and on to Tetsuya.

In fact, most of the content is dry, boring, and repetitive, but Dr. Kongmu just enjoys it.

Professor Oak commented that since Ember is still young, it's understandable that his thinking is divergent.

Of course, it's understandable that Professor Oak also finds Professor Elm's presence troublesome, and often makes excuses to refuse Professor Elm's calls.

He didn't want to listen to Kongmu talk for half an hour without getting to the point; it was too exhausting for the old man.

Never underestimate Dr. Emptywood.

The achievement of a regional doctor is not easy to attain, especially for Dr. Kumoki, who is so young.

Besides helping Professor Oak complete the Pokédex, Professor Oak was responsible for refining the concept of egg groups. He is the researcher and classifier of all Pokémon egg groups.

Furthermore, during his time learning from Professor Oak, Professor Yamanashi taught him a lot, and it was under these circumstances that Professor Oak discovered Pikachu's previous pre-form, Pichu.

After a one-sided chat, the two quickly returned to the Skywood Research Institute, located on the outskirts of Wakaba Town.

"Thank you for your hard work, teacher. I'm sorry to have troubled you." The researcher who had just been shouting bowed deeply to Tetsuya.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's nothing."

This action startled Tetsuya, who jumped to the side.

While Dr. Kuki was still talking, Tetsuya explained his purpose to Researcher Koki.

"Okay, I understand. Professor Yamanashi and Professor Oak both called you about this before, and I wrote it down. Just give me the Pokédex."

Researcher Koki spoke very politely to Tetsuya.

"Then trouble you."

Tetsuya took out the encyclopedia again and handed it to researcher Kogi.

Chapter 298 Returning to Old Ways of Life

A moment later, Researcher Xiaomu returned.

"Your eligibility for the next City Alliance Silver Tournament has been registered, and your travel documents have been updated. I wish you the best of luck."
