Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"But before that, let's release the child first."

Gardevoir "smiled".

Without saying a word, Tetsuya released the injured and unconscious Ralts from the Luxury Ball.

Gardevoir raised its green arm.

A vibrant blue mist enveloped Little Ralts.

The charred marks and scars gradually disappeared.

Tetsuya watched this scene with great interest.

Life Drop is a healing skill that only a very few elves can master.

This was the first time he had ever seen it.

However, as Ralts grows up, we'll probably see it more and more often in the future.

This is one of their family's specialties.

"pull"

With Gardevoir's treatment, Ralts quickly regained consciousness.

While sensing the energy emanating from its parent, it also looked at Tetsuya.

"Please continue to guide me in the future."

Ralts greeted its future owner very politely.

Please give me your guidance.

Tetsuya smiled and patted its head.

It's very smooth and comfortable.

Beside her, Ah Bi, who had been ignored for a long time, had red eyes.

"crunch"

His teeth chattered excitedly.

Tetsuya suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

But when I turned around, Ah Bi still had that same smiling face.

"Is it an illusion?"

Tetsuya found it a bit strange.

Abi angrily brandished the insect net in his hand.

He made up his mind: this afternoon, it would be this afternoon.

I absolutely have to have a dojo battle with this guy this afternoon, and it has to be a semi-instructional type.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to dispel the frustration in his heart.

.......

"You bastard."

Tetsuya stuffed rice into his mouth while glaring fiercely at Abi across from him.

Ah Bi whistled and seemed very happy.

"I never would have guessed that someone as handsome as you would have such wicked intentions."

Tetsuya only felt that he was too naive.

Let's go back to noon, after Ralts was captured.

Since Gardevoir needed to explain some final matters to Ralts, and Ralts also wanted to say goodbye to its friends, Zhe generously allowed it to stay in the Oak Forest for the time being, and would pick it up tomorrow.

Afterwards, Abi suggested to Tetsuya that they should return home.

"After all, our purpose was to test the insect net, and I think that's about enough."

That's what Abi said at the time.

Tetsuya, of course, raised both hands and feet in agreement.

He had already had a great harvest in this forest today, and he felt that his luck needed to slow down.

Then, after returning to Azalea Town, the free time made Abi suggest having a gym battle with Tetsuya ahead of schedule.

Tetsuya thought about it and realized that this was not bad; at least he wouldn't have to make another trip tomorrow.

So, young and naive, he excitedly agreed.

Who knew this guy, Ah Bi, would have such a lack of martial ethics.

As the gym leader, he actually sent out his second team of Pokémon to battle Tetsuya in the gym.

Needless to say, Tetsuya lost miserably.

Even though it's only the second team, it's still the second team of an Elite Four trainer.

Under the 3v3 rules, considering that Pidgeot, which is currently undergoing a breakthrough, is not suitable for overly intense battles, Tetsuya's lineup consists of Blaziken, Gigantamax, and Togekiss.

This is a lineup with a significant advantage in terms of attributes.

Theory is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

After a "thrilling" battle, Tetsuya and his companions' best achievement was simply trading one of Abi's Pokémon.

"Come on."

After stopping whistling, Abi rolled her eyes.

He still finds it outrageous.

Can you believe that Tetsuya's three near-Elite Four level Pokémon actually forcibly replaced one of his Elite Four level Pokémon?

Although that Ariados was the weakest among his second team of Pokémon and was quite old, it was still ridiculous enough.

All I can say is that this guy's Pokémon are indeed terrifyingly strong for their level.

Abi has gained even more confidence in her collaboration with Tetsuya.

The more capable your partners are, the greater your chances of making a lot of money, right?

Tetsuya fiddled with the insect badge that resembled a ladybug but had only three black dots, thinking that if gym battles were always like this, it wouldn't be a bad thing.

He learned a lot from his battle with Abi.

That's right, even though he lost, Tetsuya still got the badge from Abi.

To reiterate, the official awarding of gym badges by the League is never based on victory or defeat in battle, but rather on the various abilities and qualities that trainers must possess during the battle.

In this respect, Zhe was never one to shirk his responsibilities.

Besides, if Abi doesn't give it to him, he'll just report him.

Do you really think gym leaders can just send out any Pokémon to battle challengers? That's impossible, otherwise it would be chaos.

"So, today I got Ralts and the Insect Badge!"

Tetsuya thought to himself with delight.

"By the way, have you heard?"

Abi suddenly asked him.

Chapter 353 Good Citizen, Boss Sakaki (Revised in 10 minutes)

"what?"

Tetsuya was somewhat confused.

You're talking nonsense, who knows what you're saying?

"It's just an update to the encyclopedia."

Abi gave him a disgruntled look.

As a trainer affiliated with the League, how could I not pay attention to something like this?

"oh oh."

Tetsuya nodded in sudden realization.

He thought it was something else entirely.

"Didn't they say that because of regional restrictions, the updated encyclopedia system can only be used in Kanto and Johto for the time being, and the rest of the region is still the same?"

Tetsuya said lazily.

He had heard about this update before.

I didn't learn it from Professor Oak or Professor Yamanashi.

As early as last year, he had heard from Dr. Akihabara that Masahiro, who was then a researcher, was developing related technologies.

That's when Mantle Rock Communication evolves into Giant Rock Monster.

That's right, this so-called system update is to add the teleportation system to the setting where you can teleport home after capturing a creature, a feature that Tetsuya saw in the anime in the previous life.

It has to be said that Ash's Krabby is really small, but also really amazing.

Previously, once a trainer reached the maximum number of Pokémon they could hold, the Poké Balls of newly captured Pokémon would be automatically locked, and they could only be transferred to the Pokémon Center.

Simply put, it makes it easier and safer for trainers to capture Pokémon in the wild.

Tetsuya suddenly started to drift off.

Now that you mention it, it seems he does have a problem to consider.

Although he was granted permission to bring eight Pokémon with him through a special application to the League, the number of Pokémon he can bring with him has already reached the limit, including the unborn Vulpix.

So, where could he provide a place for his elves to rest?

After all, Zhe is not like other direct descendant trainers who have a huge family background, or at the very least, parents who are high-ranking members of the league.

He's now a pitiful man who doesn't even own a house.

Having a place isn't enough; you also need someone you can trust to take care of the elf.

My first thought was of course Oak's lab.

This left a very deep impression on Tetsuya.

Ash's countless Pokémon were teleported there.

Moreover, according to Tetsuya's exploration in this life, the back garden of Ooki's laboratory is really big.

With hundreds of elves entering, it's not that there's no disturbance, but it's like fish entering the ocean.

In addition to its other advantages, this is undoubtedly the best choice.

At most, sometimes my Pokémon need to cooperate in some data research, but that's not a big problem.

After all, given Professor Oak's character and reputation, the research institute wouldn't do anything to make Pokémon uncomfortable.

However, Tetsuya still hesitated.

Because his connections with Professor Oak and the Oak Laboratory are mostly based on Professor Yamanashi.

From their recent interactions, it's not hard for Tetsuya to see that Professor Yamanashi has decided to return to the Sinnoh region to become the regional Pokémon Professor.

This is rather awkward.

Although the two PhDs wouldn't mind, he still felt awkward about it.

Other options are not nonexistent.

For example, Nibi Gym, the breeding house near Xiaoxue, and Senior Brother Si's Azure Gym.

However, compared to Oak's lab, these options are somewhat lacking.

"Never mind, I'll think about it when I catch the next Pokémon."

Tetsuya shook his head, putting the question out of his mind.

Anyway, it's not something urgent or major.
