Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Tetsuya, despite the electric dragon's glare, managed to offer some words of comfort.

To be honest, Gyarados is indeed a very powerful Water-type Pokémon. Just look at Lance's red Gyarados, it's one of his main Pokémon.

In Tetsuya's vision, Gyarados would indeed have a place among his main water-type characters.

The main reason for not training Gyarados is that it's simply not worth wasting time on Magikarp in the early stages.

Unless one is desperate, no normal person would gamble on breeding a Magikarp.

It's true that there are more high-quality Magikarp individuals because there are a large population of Magikarp, but it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Besides patience, you also need luck.

Who knows if all these outstanding individuals are just holed up in some corner of the world's ocean, lost in thought.

This is somewhat extreme, but it's not impossible.

"Guess what? We might be able to fish up a future partner here."

Tetsuya said to Denryu with a touch of bittersweet humor.

"Buwoo"

Electric Dragon slowly shook his head, indicating his stance.

It had absolutely no desire to pay attention to these incredibly weak Magikarp.

Soon, the fishing spot fell silent.

Tetsuya fished quietly, while the electric dragon shone silently in the light.

Under the cover of night, it was a remarkably harmonious scene.

Aside from Magikarp.

Time passed second by second, and after an unknown amount of time, the sky began to lighten, but Tetsuya still hadn't achieved his goal.

After casting the fishing line again, Tetsuya and Denryu sighed in unison.

It's not that tiring; for either of them, the impact of not sleeping for one night is minimal.

However, the psychological sadness cannot be eliminated.

"Buwoo"

The Ampharos called out to its trainer.

"Let's go somewhere else?" Tetsuya pondered the electric dragon's suggestion.

"I think it's good."

He agreed to the electric dragon's statement without even considering it for three seconds.

That night of fishing had completely worn him out.

Besides, the fishing spot is so big, he should have moved his position a long time ago.

Tetsuya folded up his chair, slung his fishing rod over his shoulder, and began to stroll leisurely along the shore of Fishing Ground No. 4.

The electric dragon followed beside him, its little tail swishing back and forth.

The human and the elf seemed to be on patrol.

The fishing spot was still incredibly quiet at this time, and apart from the two of them, no other anglers would be there so early.

"By the way, is there something wrong with my eyes?"

As they swung along, Tetsuya, who hadn't slept all night, pointed to the scenery of the beach not far away and asked Denryu in a somewhat strange way.

The electric dragon returned a concerned look, sensing that its old man's brain was really a bit fuzzy, which shouldn't be the case.

Tetsuya rubbed his temples as he shrunk his fishing rod, then focused his attention once again on a small island that had suddenly appeared on the beach.

As the shop owner, Muneo Saito, described it, this island is no different from any other island.

However, Tetsuya and Denryu were both certain that there shouldn't have been an island in that location originally.

"That's interesting."

Tetsuya, who had been somewhat dazed, suddenly perked up, and his eyes shone with a different light.

"Phidden Eagle, please."

The next moment, Tetsuya placed his right hand on his belt and swung out Pidgeon's Luxury Ball.

Startled awake early in the morning, Pidgeot glanced at Tetsuya in confusion. Was today's morning training starting a little too early?

"Take me and the electric dragon there."

Tetsuya pointed to the small island to indicate.

Pidgeot nodded in realization. Using it as a means of transportation? It was familiar with that, as long as it wasn't for training.

Climbing onto the back of the crouching Pidgeot, Tetsuya quickly reached the island where Suicune might live.

Wait a minute, probably, not possibly.

The moment Tetsuya recalled Pidgeot, he stared at the ethereal spirit before him, surrounded by white, wind-like ribbons, and was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Um... Nice to meet you, please take care of me?"

Tetsuya said somewhat hesitantly.

"Hello, human."

Chapter 307 Suicune's Gift (Read later, there are many additions, it's incomplete now)

An elegant female voice echoed in Tetsuya's mind.

After all, it's a legendary Pokémon, so it's quite normal for Suicune to have telepathic abilities.

Tetsuya's wide-eyed surprise wasn't because of this.

He was simply bewildered that Suijun had appeared in front of him so easily.

Indeed, Suicune is seen as a rather benevolent being by the people of Johto, and far more people have seen it than by any other legendary Pokémon.

However, this does not mean that Suicune will voluntarily appear in front of humans.

People only discovered it because the water spirit didn't deliberately avoid it when purifying the water source.

Just like the island beneath Tetsuya's feet.

Once Suicune decides not to be discovered, no one has been able to climb up there for many years.

Sui-kun felt somewhat helpless as he "watched" Tetsuya's constantly changing emotions as perceived by him.

It had wanted to say hello when it saw Tetsuya in the forest outside Wakaba Town last time, but it didn't because Tetsuya had left in a hurry.

I happened to come here to rest and found that Tetsuya happened to be in this city, and right by the sea, so I thought of inviting him to the island.

As a result, this guy stuck to one spot fishing and refused to leave.

Suicune couldn't understand it at all. She had been making Magikarp bite the hook the whole time, so why was this human doing this...?

Hmm... Sui-kun thought for a moment and recalled the human description of this kind of person—"stubborn."

Tetsuya, of course, had no idea that his bad luck all night was deliberately created by Sui-kun to make them meet; otherwise, he would have complained a bit.

If you really can't do it, why don't you just use telepathy to call my name in my head? Why make it so complicated?

"You seem confused?"

Shui Jun asked Tetsuya in a calm manner.

Feeling the emotional fluctuations, Tetsuya didn't immediately reply to Suicune's question, but instead briefly analyzed the abilities of the legendary Pokémon before him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to use Zero; the main problem was that when he looked at Suicune with Zero, he could only see the other's race name, and everything else, like strength and potential, was just a question mark.

From this, we can roughly judge that the strength and potential of this Suicune are above that of the champion.

For the same reason, the information displayed on Panel Zero is based on Tetsuya's own knowledge system and scope.

Since he himself didn't know much about mythical beasts, Zero, as a cheat system, couldn't generate information out of thin air.

If he could see a dozen or twenty Suicunes and get a general idea of ​​the strength of those above the champion, then Zero would be able to make an accurate judgment.

"I'm just curious how you appeared before me so easily."

Tetsuya also directly explained his reasons for his doubts to Mizuki.

Legendary Pokémon are also Pokémon, so it's best to be direct when communicating with them.

“I saw you and your spirit in the forest last time, and I also sensed the scent of nature from you.”

Just as Tetsuya had expected, Suikun responded.

The forest from last time?

Tetsuya was taken aback; he didn't recall it at all.

However, based on the anime he had watched in his previous life, he quickly realized what was going on.

After all, Ash saw Suicune in the forest near New Leaf Town when he went to the Johto region, so that's probably where it is.

"The taste of nature?"

The doubts about "last time" were quickly explained. Tetsuya was curious about the latter part of Suijun's statement and asked directly again.

After all, no matter how you look at it, this reason is the key reason why Suicune met with him.

This time, Suijun didn't answer his question immediately, but clearly thought about it for a moment.

Could it be that the great one has never met this human before, and the aura on his body was simply left unintentionally? Or did they meet, and this human is unaware of it?

Suijun couldn't quite understand the reasoning behind it for a moment.

It quickly gave up thinking about it.

Anyway, the specifics aren't that important to it.

It's Ho-Oh's guard, not that other person's. It's just that Ho-Oh and that other person have a good relationship.

"Hmm, the scent of nature."

Sui-kun repeated Tetsuya's words again.

Tetsuya could roughly understand that this meant the other party didn't really want to explain.

He could only suppress his doubts and ponder them on his own.

For Tetsuya himself, there are only two places that are closely related to nature—the Evergreen Forest and the Mysterious Garden.

He personally prefers the second one.

Since there are countless people living near the Viridian Forest, it's impossible that he's the only one who's special.

Tetsuya was quite clear about this point; he did not consider himself the only lucky one in the world, except for Zero.

So, what kind of spirits or mythical beasts is the Mysterious Garden connected to?

Tetsuya's mind was filled with the names of many spirits.

Gardens, nature, plants, life—to be honest, there's a lot to it, and the key point is that it all seems to have something to do with Ho-Oh.

Suigun quickly interrupted Tetsuya's meaningless thoughts: "Any other questions?"

It remains as uneventful and peaceful as ever.

Tetsuya temporarily put the questions in his mind aside.

With the mythical beast in front of you, it's a good time to ask questions that interest you and that the beast can answer. You can always think about questions that it can't answer later.

"If it were convenient for me to tell you, are you the Suicune who was rescued by Ho-Oh in Enju City back then?"

The first question is very straightforward.

Tetsuya was mainly curious about the origins of mythical beasts and spirits like the Three Holy Beasts.

If so, he might be the first person to know what kind of Pokémon were the three unknown Pokémon that died in the fire at the Burnt Tower.

No, that's not true.

Sui-kun's answer was also straightforward.

"Our Water Lord clan, along with the Thunder Lord and Flame Emperor clans, are the Phoenix King's guards, and most of our clan members live all over the world."

Whenever Lord Ho-Oh needs something, the people of that region will offer their strength.
