Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"What's wrong, little one? You don't recognize me now that you're all grown up?"

Ami observed the electric dragon, a look of satisfaction flashing in her eyes, and then smiled and said to the electric dragon.

The electric dragon remembered that this was one of the people it had sensed before it was even born.

It remembered that the other person often came to its "room" to take care of it.

"Buwoo"

Electric Dragon greeted him warmly.

Guang'er also looked curiously at the little guy whose skin color was different from her own.

This seems to be the sixth one it has seen, and it's quite good-looking.

"This is your child's child!"

Ami said to Guang'er.

"Huh?"

Zhe couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He really wasn't quite sure about that.

"The first shiny Mare was born to Hikari and her partner, which surprised people for a long time."

Ami explained, "Even though Guang'er and its partner are both ordinary colored electric dragons, their sprite eggs have undergone a very rare mutation."

Therefore, basically all existing Shiny Dragons are descendants of Light.

What is the probability of two ordinary Pokémon hatching a shiny Pokémon egg? Tetsuya thought about it and knew that it must be a probability so low that it would be despairing to many decimal places.

Just look at how Mareep has been bred at the Asagi Gym for so many years, yet it only has this one Shiny Pokémon as its source.

Otherwise, Ami wouldn't be so certain that all existing translucent electric dragons are descendants of Light.

However, the probability of a shiny Pokémon being bred from a normal Pokémon is always higher, which is why the Asahi Gym can be so generous as to give away a shiny Ampharos.

Guang'er lay on the ground and nodded in deep agreement.

To be honest, at first it didn't think that was its own cub, and it almost couldn't resist.

Fortunately, their own trainer discovered it in time.

This is another reason why Shiny sprites are extremely rare.

In the wild, the rejection and threats faced by shiny Pokémon are unimaginable to ordinary Pokémon.

Because many elves think in ways very similar to humans, they place great importance on the bloodline of their offspring.

It's hard for any male elf not to get angry at someone who acts strangely, like putting a hat on themselves.

Even if the two elves have a good relationship and hatch a heterochromatic elf egg, in the wild where people live in groups, the young heterochromatic elf will easily be rejected by its own kind.

If its parents are alive, that's fine, but if something goes wrong during the hunting process, it's common for it to be kicked out and live alone.

"Its strength is about to break through to the Quasi-Heavenly King level."

Ami asked Tetsuya.

Although a Pokémon's level is generally not immediately apparent, an experienced and powerful trainer like her can still discern clues by considering various factors.

Not to mention, she has come into contact with countless Pokémon of the Electric Dragon type.

There is probably no one in the world who knows the Electric Dragon race better than Ami.

Although her trump card isn't the electric dragon, it doesn't affect this point at all.

"Yes."

Tetsuya nodded.

"You two are both great."

Upon hearing Tetsuya's confirmation, Ami said with great emotion.

This is the scene she most wants to see: Pokémon and their trainers helping each other grow and improve together.

Ami firmly believes that a connection of minds is the most important bond between trainers and Pokémon.

If Tetsuya's abilities are insufficient to help Ampharos grow, even if Asahi from the Azure Gym strongly insists, she will not hand over the Shiny Ampharos to an outsider.

It's true that the Asahi Gym has a great need for the Azure Gym's secret medicine, but the two are still on equal footing.

As it turns out, Tetsuya is worthy of being the trainer of Ampharos.

"If you don't mind, how about I let Guang'er talk to it?"

Having witnessed the growth of the electric dragon, Ami expressed great satisfaction and then proposed another idea.

Tetsuya, of course, couldn't agree more.

Although the electric dragon Guang'er is not considered an absolute main force in Ami's team because its main job is to serve as a city rescuer, its strength as an Elite Four member is undeniable.

The only difference is in combat experience and habits.

For the Electric Dragon, which is currently stuck at the peak of the elite level, Guang'er, as its elder, is the best teacher at this stage.

Tetsuya never expected that his trip to the rest stop on Route 32 would yield such an unexpected reward.

He originally just wanted to see if he could improve his Pidgeot's strength, but now it seems that Ampharos's strength might also improve significantly.

Could it be that I'm about to achieve my goal of building a team of near-superstars?

"Look, bathed in sunlight, their souls seem to have received ample nourishment!"

Watching Guang'er and the Shiny Electric Dragon chatting happily among a group of Mareep not far away, Ami said in a very artistic way.

"Ah."

Not quite understanding this description, Tetsuya could only express his agreement with the simplest reply.

"Oh, right, um... Tetsuya, are you hungry?"

Suddenly, Ami asked somewhat shyly, "If you don't mind, would you like to have dinner at our Asagi Ranch restaurant?"

"The food at our Asagi Ranch Restaurant is incredibly delicious and the portions are very generous!"

She added a sentence.

Tetsuya, who had only eaten a simple meal in the wild that morning, hadn't felt hungry until Ami mentioned it, and suddenly realized he was a little hungry too.

"Guang'er and Dianlong will probably talk for more than an hour, so it'll be just in time for us to come back after we finish eating."

Seeing Tetsuya looking at her spirit, Ami knew what he was thinking and quickly said something.

"Then I'll take my leave."

Tetsuya nodded in agreement.

Led by Ami, the two quickly arrived at the restaurant in Asagi Ranch.

This is a buffet style.

Tetsuya, who was initially worried that having dinner with Ami would be a bit awkward, quickly relaxed.

He took a large plate of food, including a variety of fresh vegetables and fruits, expensive meat from common animals, and fresh sheep milk from Mare sheep.

"That seems a bit too much."

Tetsuya unconsciously scratched his head while holding the tray.

The main reason is that sheep milk from Meili sheep has too many byproducts, and he wants to try them all.

There's probably no sheep milk in the world of higher quality than the Meili sheep milk here; you might not have the chance to try it again.

What puzzled him was why the restaurant staff didn't react at all to him taking so many things.

Even if the guests are invited by the restaurant owner, the buffet format should remind them to be mindful of their portion sizes.

He himself knew that he had become a big eater because of his martial arts training, but others did not.

When he returned to his seat, he learned why the staff were so calm.

All that could be seen around Ami were empty plates piled up.

Every plate was covered in food scraps.

"Ah, Tetsuya, you're back. This is what the last customer ate. Really, no one has come to clean it up."

Ami, her ears red as she munched on a plate of unidentified meat, explained to Tetsuya.

Tetsuya smirked. "Let's see if he believes it or not."

He suddenly realized that his perception of Ami's image in the previous hour was somewhat flawed.

How can such a small body hold so much food?

A quick estimate suggests that, based on the amount that a normal plate can hold, Ami ate three times the amount of food that Tetsuya was holding.

Does that mean the stronger the trainer, the more they can eat?

Tetsuya fell into thought for a moment.

It seems that every powerful trainer he encounters has a big appetite; the same thing happened when he ate with Su-Tian and Asu.

"Ami, eat slowly, there's still plenty left. We've prepared enough for today."

Elaine, who was also having dinner, gave Ami a thumbs up.

Ami let out a soft "woof," and this time, not only her ears turned red, but her entire face turned bright red.

Chapter 338 Ami's Fairy, Cleanup, Progress in Strength

"Oh right, you should know about the upcoming announcement of the steel attribute, right?"

Feeling extremely shy, Ami quickly and awkwardly changed the subject.

"Yes, it's a truly amazing discovery."

Tetsuya readily took over the topic.

He wouldn't dare to make fun of Ami.

"By the time you travel to Asagi City, our Asagi Gym may be quite different from what it used to be."

Ami secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said.

"Are you planning to develop the Asagi Gym specifically in the direction of Steel-type specialization?"

Tetsuya asked while eating dinner.

At this time, Asagi Dojo does not have a clear single attribute like most formal dojos, but rather develops multiple attributes simultaneously.

Or rather, it's less about multiple attributes and more about a few specific types of spirits.

For example, the Magnemite lineage, the Onix lineage, the Psylocke lineage, Skarmory, and the Scyther lineage, etc.

These Pokémon generally share the common characteristic that their final forms all possess the newly discovered Steel attribute.

Although the concept of steel properties is relatively recent, inherent resistance does not lie.

After a long period of battles and training, the Asagi Gym has discovered that these types of Pokémon are different from other Pokémon.

That's why they've made them the focus of their dojo's development.

Of course, it is inevitable that the attributes are not as clearly defined as those of other specialized dojos.

This brings us to the history of the development of dojo facilities.

The original definition of a dojo was a facility similar to a private training ground, established by retired trainers to pass on "trainer techniques" to new trainers.

However, with the promotion of communication between humans and Pokémon and the progress of the times, more and more people are choosing to become trainers.

At this time, the number of dojos increased dramatically, and some unscrupulous dojos also emerged that attempted to make money through dishonest means.

That's why the league decided to change the gym system to a certification system.

The concept of formal dojos emerged as a result.

The original rule was to establish gyms based on the number of trainers within a certain range. However, due to factors such as the decline in local living standards caused by this, some gyms were unable to receive enough trainees. Therefore, the League added the recognition of single gyms and informal gyms.

This is why there is a rule that a city can only have one official dojo.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to guarantee local development.
