Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Upon discovering that the other person had developed feelings for Scorpio after he left, Tetsuya kindly returned to check on them.

If something goes wrong, he can still salvage the situation.

And that's what happened.

Tetsuya's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Perhaps it was because my unintentional act helped someone.

"Tsk, if I had some savings back then, I might be just like this guy."

As he jumped down from the tree, Tetsuya thought to himself with a strange smile on his lips.

"But why does this guy's outfit look so familiar?" he muttered to himself.

Maybe it's just my imagination, but there are just too many elf cosplay outfits like this in the elf world.

Tetsuya shook his head, trying to banish the feeling of familiarity from his mind.

Light footsteps sounded again, and he continued walking in one direction.

......

By the river, Tetsuya sat on a rock after finishing his breakfast, staring at the water in deep thought.

He didn't understand why people were targeting him here, since he hadn't released any electric dragons to fish.

Sensing a clear presence hiding behind a tree trunk not far behind him, Tetsuya sighed almost imperceptibly.

It's truly a case of choosing the path to heaven over the path to hell.

If it could be understood that the other person was just going the same way at first, then the fact that they are still following him when he stops to eat suggests that the other person has ulterior motives.

Tetsuya stood up and dusted off his bottom.

"Blazing Chicken, bring him here."

The nonsensical words left the person hiding behind the tree trunk somewhat bewildered.

At that moment, a claw landed on his shoulder.

The man instantly shuddered: "Scyther, Strike Combo!"

"Shatelai~"

A flash of red light appeared, and a green flying mantis materialized, its scythe-like arms slashing wildly.

"Xia Mo"

A Blaziken leaped and "flew" onto a tree branch, looking down at the human and the Pokémon below, its eyes filled with murderous intent.

How dare someone like that have designs on their trainer?

How could that be?

The man stared in astonishment at the scene; it wasn't what he had expected.

"How could Blaziken have that kind of speed? It's impossible."

He muttered to himself.

"I've trained my Scyther's attack speed to its limit, and the energy transfer of its combo attack is perfect. How could this Blaziken dodge it so easily?"

His tone was full of disbelief.

Goodness, Tetsuya, who was not far away, heard this and wanted to laugh.

"My calculations should be correct."

This near-Elite Four level Blaziken's speed is normally 1.47 times that of its kind. With the Speed ​​Boost ability, it gradually increases to 2.68 times. Based on the speed-distance formula, its reaction time is approximately...

The man was oblivious to Tetsuya's approach and continued to ponder.

Tetsuya raised an eyebrow. Was this someone who had come prepared?

Chapter 334 A disastrous data failure, an encounter with Ah Xing.

"This is unreasonable, this is unreasonable," the man muttered to himself, looking quite bewildered.

"Shatelai~"

The mantis's painful cries pulled him out of his confusion.

I looked up.

Blaziken easily lifted the Scyther, which had already been beaten into submission, with a single claw.

With a flick of his wrist, the Scyther was tossed to the ground.

The man's pupils dilated suddenly, and he unconsciously swallowed.

"I......"

He was just about to speak when Blaziken appeared in front of him.

"Down"

With a short shout, the Blaziken punched the man in the abdomen with one of its claws.

In an instant, the man's face went from pale to blood red and then back to pale.

He collapsed to his knees, lying face down on the ground, utterly exhausted.

Despite Blaziken's best efforts to suppress its power, a punch from a near-Elite 4 Fighting-type Pokémon is not something an average person can easily take.

"Tell me, how did you get your hands on me?"

Tetsuya, feeling utterly bored, squatted down about three meters away from the man.

The man did not reply.

"Oh?" Tetsuya raised an eyebrow. Looks like he's a tough guy after all.

"Blazing Chicken, give him another punch."

He said it calmly.

"Wait...wait a minute."

The extremely weak man struggled to speak.

This guy is a devil, isn't he? He was clearly beaten so badly he couldn't speak.

"hostage"

Blaziken ignored the man's words completely; it wouldn't stop until Zhe said something.

However, considering the man's current appearance, it considerately kicked him in the back instead.

At this point, the man was truly prostrated in reverence.

Tetsuya rested his chin on his hand, looking at the guy who had been following him all the way with disdain.

"Do you think I look a lot like a villain from this angle?"

Seeing that the man probably wouldn't be able to speak for a while, he kindly started chatting with Blaziken first.

Blaziken nodded silently.

Not only does he resemble a villain, but he also seems like a villain who won't survive more than three episodes; he talks too much.

"I...I am Masamune, I just wanted to...test your strength."

The man lying on the ground finally managed to speak again with difficulty.

Although his injuries were quite serious, he was afraid that if he didn't explain himself clearly, he would lose his life.

Masamune realized that the person in front of him was not at all as kind as the Kanto Alliance had portrayed him to be.

If Tetsuya knew what he was thinking, he would definitely chuckle.

Or rather, any normal person would laugh.

Putting everything else aside, if you've been following someone in the wild without leaving a trace, no one would believe you didn't have any ulterior motives.

Moreover, Tetsuya is famous; his spirits are all genuinely tempting.

Countless examples of trainers who have perished in the wild tell those who come after them never to underestimate the ferocity a person can unleash in the chaotic environment of the wild—a ferocity that no Dark-type Pokémon can match.

According to incomplete statistics from the league, more than one-third of the trainers who die each year are killed by humans rather than Pokémon.

Furthermore, Tetsuya stated that he had been living in the Viridian Forest since he was a child, so this was a piece of cake for him.

If he hadn't been more vigilant, he would have met his end long ago.

"Masamune, that name seems a bit familiar."

Tetsuya half-squatted down and silently tapped his head.

Perhaps because he had absorbed too much knowledge about the Pokémon world, he found that his memories of some plot points from the Pokémon anime he watched in his previous life were becoming somewhat hazy.

After all, having a photographic memory is an exaggeration. In reality, he just has a memory that is several levels above the average person, and he will still forget some very unimportant things.

"Ah, it's that guy with the data stream stuff, right? Probably."

After thinking about it and connecting it with what this guy had just said, Tetsuya finally managed to match the person in front of him with the plot of the anime.

He remembered that when he later met Ash, Masamune's Scyther had already evolved into Scizor.

Moreover, in a similar situation, this Masamune was directing Scizor to directly attack Ash and his friends.

"It's fortunate that it's Xiao Zhi. If it were anyone else, unless they couldn't beat him, this guy would definitely not have fared well."

Tetsuya pondered whether he, as Satoshi's elder, should teach him some survival skills in the wild, otherwise it wouldn't be good if he were bullied.

Although Ash is nicknamed "Little Ash the Clumsy," his love for Pokémon is unparalleled, and that's enough.

"Huh, huh-"

Masamune gasped for breath: "If it weren't for your sneak attack, according to the data, your Blaziken would have been no match for Scyther."

"They're gone, they're gone. I thought it was something else."

Tetsuya ignored this, called out to Blaziken, and prepared to turn and leave.

He talks about data all the time; no wonder his future children will be the same way. Like father, like son.

As for killing them outright...

He's not that bloodthirsty; a lesson is enough.

"So you really are scared." Masamune, kneeling on the ground, uttered a sentence that was extremely inconsistent with his current image.

"Trying to provoke me, is that it?" Tetsuya snorted coldly. "Who can't see through that?"

He turned around.

"Here, I'll give you a chance."

Zhe said, quite displeased.

He may see through it, but he still falls for it.

It looks like this guy named Masamune is going to ruin my good mood for the whole day.

Masamune struggled to sit up and leaned against a large tree behind him.

"I saw your performance at last year's league conference. It seems that the Kanto League is really getting worse year by year."

His tone was filled with an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Tetsuya almost burst out laughing.

He didn't know what gave the other person the confidence to say that.

"The data shows that your Blaziken's abilities are..."

"Stop with the data, hurry up, I have things to do."

Zhe also interrupted the other party's nonsense without any politeness.

He's very busy, okay? Taking the time to have a match is already a huge favor considering the anime from his past life.

"Seriously, there really are guys who treat Pokémon data like it's everything," he muttered to himself.

The world of elves also contains games similar to those in my previous life where elves battled.
