Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"Don't move! You're surrounded. Surrender!"

A spirited female voice came through.

Suddenly, Officer Jenny appeared at the foot of the volcano, blocking the entire exit route, as if she were a shadow clone.

Just like in the movies, Miss Officer Jenny always arrives a step too late.

However, it's not too late at this point.

The Lava Team's retreat came to an abrupt halt.

The Hokage's expression was rather unpleasant.

The Officer Jenny's support arrived much faster than he had expected.

“yue”

The team leader, A-Jie, who was vomiting and having diarrhea, said he had something to say.

He strongly suspects that Officer Jenny and her companions, Arcanine and Growlithe, in Azalea Town are born into a racing gang.

These guys were driving in the jungle without slowing down at all.

The members of the other action teams weren't much better off.

However, A-Jie was with the strongest Officer Jenny's Arcanine, so he seemed even more miserable.

"Aha~"

Under everyone's gaze, the Hokage, hidden beneath his cloak, shrugged.

“Miss Officer Jenny, what are you trying to do? We’re just a group of trainers on an adventure.”

Honestly, given his innocent tone, if it weren't for the clothes on his body and the wreckage of the equipment behind him, Tetsuya would have thought he was right.

"Team Lava, I hereby declare that you have illegally trespassed into the oak forest and attempted to damage the trees, violating Article 114 of the League's regulations. Immediately put your hands behind your heads and squat down!"

Miss Officer Jenny ignored what he said and repeated the warning perfectly.

Tetsuya, suspended in mid-air, felt somewhat helpless.

This is probably just how the league operates.

If it were him, he would just rush over without saying a word, tie him up, and that would be the end of it.

“Miss Officer Jenny, the Alliance can’t slander good people. We haven’t done anything destructive.”

The Hokage remained calm, saying it was nothing serious.

Tetsuya's lips twitched.

No, these days, do dark organizations even use their brains? Shouldn't they just admit it outright?

If the Hokage knew what he was thinking, he would definitely despise him.

If the task was completed, then admitting it is acceptable. But if the task was failed, why insist that he did it? He's not stupid.

"In short, no matter who you are, now, immediately, and right now, put your hands on your head and squat down."

Miss Officer Jenny raised her hand.

All the Growlithe and Arcanines lay on the ground and barked menacingly.

"Okay, okay, but Miss Officer Jenny, according to the Alliance's laws, you only have 24 hours."

The Hokage, feeling emboldened, was the first to cover his head and crouch down.

Seeing that their leader had done so, the Lava Team soldiers had no choice but to follow suit, even though they were still a little uneasy.

The Hokage inwardly snorted coldly.

This isn't his first time in the police station; doesn't he know the procedures?

For cross-regional matters like this, 24 hours of detention and interrogation time is not enough to transmit the message.

He's a really good guy in the Johto region.

"Cuff it and put it back."

Miss Officer Jenny and her sisters got to work.

"By the way, Tetsuya, what's going on here...?"

Her gaze was quickly drawn to Tetsuya as he landed.

Zhe is now like a green, glowing light bulb.

"Um......"

Tetsuya didn't know what to do either.

He can operate this thing, but he can't turn it on or off.

"rustle"

The leaves of the surrounding trees suddenly began to move on their own, even without any wind.

Everyone instinctively assumed a defensive posture.

The standoff lasted for about half a minute, and nothing happened.

"Um... it seems like everything's alright now?"

Tetsuya gave a somewhat awkward reminder.

"cough cough"

A chorus of coughs rose and fell.

"You're not green anymore!"

A-Jie was the first to notice Tetsuya's change.

Tetsuya rolled his eyes.

Although what he said was correct, he still felt something was off about it.

Officer Jenny, who was leading the group, gave Tetsuya a deep look: "Whatever happened, let's go back first."

Tetsuya and A-Jie both nodded silently.

As the group retreated and disappeared, the oak forest returned to its original dark and gloomy state.

On the way back to Azalea Town, Tetsuya took a moment to look at the Pidgeot panel displayed by Zero.

[Hibiki] (Under Breakthrough)

He seemed to be deep in thought.

During the battle just now, the message in parentheses read "Powering up".

In other words.

"Is it time to truly break through to the Heavenly King level?"

Tetsuya immediately perked up.

If I really break through to the Heavenly King level, then today will be an absolute windfall.

"And that power, is it from the Celebi?"

He looked up again into the depths of the oak forest.

The forest, the green lights, and Suicune's previous statement—only a few legendary Pokémon can receive this kind of energy boost.

So there's only one answer left.

"Is it because you 'saw' the desolate oak forest after the volcano was detonated in the river of time?"

Based on Celebi's abilities and personality, Tetsuya quickly deduced the general situation.

As a forest god who travels through time, it seems quite natural for Silavi to save the forest, and there's nothing strange about it.

The only problem is...

"How did Celebi fall for me? Is it because I'm too handsome?"

Tetsuya shook his head rather narcissistically.

Kanto, Tokiwa.

"Boss, there's been a problem with the Slowpoke project in Azalea Town."

Masato, dressed as a regular secretary, respectfully reported to Sakaki while holding a folder.

"Without knowing the specifics, Azalea Gym Leader Peni and Officer Jenny directly surrounded Slowpoke Well, and all the members there were captured."

"Meow"

The cat boss next to Sakaki let out a weak meow.

"check."

Sakaki uttered a single word.

“Understood.” Masato nodded. “Also, according to my informant, Team Magma has been frequently appearing in the Johto region recently, and I suspect that this matter is related to them.”

Chapter 349 Regarding why he is so popular with elves

"Team Lava".

Sakaki narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I understand. Go and find out the details."

He waved.

"Yes."

Shin-tori bowed and left the room.

In the dark room, only the eldest cat remained, lying beside Sakaki.

It gracefully stuck out its tongue and licked its own fur.

"Hoenn, I haven't even approached you yet, and you've already set your sights on Team Rocket?"

The soft, murmured voices echoed continuously.

"So, I really am a good person, Miss Officer Jenny."

Listening to the Hokage's joking and carefree remarks in the interrogation room, Officer Jenny felt like she was about to smash the table.

"Boom"

The door slammed shut.

"Haven't they found this guy's criminal record yet?"

"That's what Officer Jenny asked."

"No."

Another Officer Jenny was also very helpless, "The Lava Team guys' original purpose was not simply to cause destruction, and he should have just arrived in Johto, there is no relevant record in the League."

As for Hoenn, we haven't received a reply yet.

"Is this alright?"

Tetsuya, who was sitting to the side drinking tea with Abi, looked at the other person curiously.

As the Gym Leader of Azalea Town, he should be paying more attention to Team Magma's appearance in Azalea's territory.

"It's alright, don't underestimate Miss Officer Jenny."

Abi blinked. "If they can't find anything, don't expect me to get anything either."

To put it bluntly, even as a gym leader, compared to the Officer Jenny family, who are spread all over the world and represent all social classes, Abi is at best a simpleton.

Although he is officially the head of Officer Jenny of the Hinoki Town Police Department, this is merely out of respect for his abilities from the Officer Jenny family.

"Too."

Tetsuya nodded.

"By the way, how did you stop that Hokage?"
