Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Tetsuya, of course, quickly declined.

He chatted with the deputy director for a few minutes and discovered that they did have plans to evacuate.

"Actually, I had already noticed that the structure of the radio station was somewhat unstable, otherwise I wouldn't have asked Master Xiaoqian to build a new radio station for us."

The middle-aged man, the deputy director named Aqing, sighed.

"I just didn't expect it to collapse so suddenly."

I was originally in the station director's office discussing the upcoming programs with him.

Halfway through the conversation, the ceiling suddenly cracked open.

My immediate thought was to lead the station director out through the emergency exit.

However, the station director stubbornly believed that the radio station would not collapse so easily, and that insisting on it was just a minor issue.

This delayed their escape and prevented them from getting away.

Um, this...

Tetsuya said he could understand, but he absolutely could not accept it.

This team leader is a complete liability.

But thinking about it, if something like this happened in the place where he had lived and worked his whole life, especially when he was in charge, he would probably make the same choice.

Why doesn't the deputy director go himself?

Tetsuya was somewhat puzzled.

"Because Grandpa Lan is Uncle Aqing's father."

Xiaoqian explained this to him from the side.

Ok.

Now Zhe is out of trouble.

As a son, he can't just abandon his father and run away.

Looking at the station director, who was still struggling to accept everything, Tetsuya shook his head helplessly.

Perhaps it was this passion that enabled the station director to take the already thriving Manjin Radio Station to an even higher level.

It's worth noting that more than 20 years ago, before the current station director took office, Manjin Radio was already the most prestigious radio station in the city.

It's no exaggeration to say that back then, nine out of ten households in the city listened to Manjin Radio in the morning.

But this is not enough.

After all, even the greatest influence of a regional radio station has its limits.

After taking office, the old station director adopted a series of measures that transformed Manjin Radio into a world-class radio station.

Not only in Johto, but also in Kanto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and even further afield in Unova, many people now enjoy listening to Goldenrod Radio's programs.

His strong support was also crucial to programs like Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture.

"It should be fine now. Given the speed of the city's administration, we should be able to get out in two or three hours at most."

Xiaoqian remained very calm.

The elves are very useful.

In situations like building collapses and rubble excavation, Rock-type Pokémon, Ground-type Pokémon, and Fighting-type Pokémon can unleash exceptionally powerful abilities.

Not to mention that Tetsuya's protective measures were so thorough.

"The air in here..."

Deputy Director Aqing spoke with some hesitation.

Even though he wasn't a trainer and held a high position, he should have remained silent at this time.

Looking at the not-so-large, enclosed stone house and counting the number of people, one can't help but worry about breathing.

"It's alright, the Serpent Lord will control the plants to release into the air."

Tetsuya said he was prepared, "and I also have three compressed oxygen tanks in my space backpack."

If all else fails, it's enough to keep six people going for three or four hours.

I believe the rescue efforts in Goldenlin City shouldn't be that slow.

Aqing immediately relaxed.

Of course it won't be that slow.

Even if Xiaoxi's timeline was a bit too fast, the actual difference wouldn't be that significant.

Mankin Radio Station is located in the heart of Mankin City.

It is estimated that rescue teams were on their way as soon as the collapse occurred.

By this time, the people outside should have already started cleaning up.

but......

Why are there three compressed oxygen tanks in your space backpack?

Curious, Xiaoxi asked Aqing what was on her mind.

"Ah, it's better to be prepared."

Tetsuya shrugged, clearly unconvinced.

Is it surprising that a bounty hunter who spends most of his time in the wild would have an oxygen tank in his inventory?

Whether it's diving or exploration, oxygen tanks are very useful.

Not to mention oxygen tanks, his largest-sized backpack on the market was filled with all sorts of imaginable and unimaginable strange and occasionally useful items.

This is to prevent unexpected situations from occurring.

Besides, even without an oxygen tank, the electric dragon has a way to produce oxygen, it's just a bit dangerous.

Silence quickly fell over the stone house.

Only Hu Tao and A Qing remained to comfort the station director, who was in a rather unstable emotional state.

The station director did exchange a few words with Tetsuya to express his gratitude, but almost without delay, his newly recovered mood collapsed again.

Tetsuya felt it was better if he didn't thank him.

The collapse of the Manjin Radio Station outside seemed to have ended long ago, as there hadn't been any loud noises for a long time.

Thanks to the safe house built by the Giant Rock Monster and Serperior, the group and their Pokémon did not suffer any further harm.

The wounds on the station director and deputy station director were also given a simple treatment by Serperior Serpent's Grassy Field.

Given their physical condition and the technology available to them, they should be able to recover quickly once they go outside.

More than three hours passed by quietly.

Tetsuya even completed the training plan he had prepared for Ralts for the next three months.

However, outside rescue has not yet arrived.

"Pi~"

Looking at Akane playing with Piccolo to the side, Tetsuya thought that she really had a big heart.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Sensing Tetsuya's gaze, Akane turned her head and asked in confusion.

"nothing."

Tetsuya responded to her without saying a word.

The three people standing nearby chuckled softly.

They were already used to Xiaoxi's personality, but this savior didn't seem to know her very well.

"Boom"

The sound coming from above suddenly silenced them.

"dong dong"

Several more dull thuds followed.

"Move over."

Tetsuya's calm voice rang out.

The five people did as he said without even realizing it.

His gaze fell upon Pang Yan Guai.

"Dangoro!"

As Pang Yan Guai roared, the rock above his head was opened.

Dust settled.

"Here, here!"

Chapter 372 Rainbow Feathers

A short while later.

The group of six people were rescued from the "safe house".

Standing in front of the ruins of Manjin Radio Station, the old station director, who had finally managed to calm down after more than three hours, was on the verge of collapse again.

"Ralts, Hypnosis."

Tetsuya quickly issued the order.

Ralts, radiating psychic energy, teleported in front of the old stationmaster.

The old station director glanced over instinctively.

A pair of red, swirling eyes immediately enveloped his body and mind.

Tetsuya quickly stepped forward and caught the old station director who was about to fall to the ground.

"I'm sorry, but we had to act quickly."

He said to the deputy director, Aqing, with great apology.

According to the League's rules, elves cannot use their skills on humans at will.

After all, no matter how strong one's resistance is, or how strong one's physical fitness is, it all depends on who one is compared to.

Not to mention superpowers involving the brain and mind.

In other words, hypnosis is a special kind of technology, which is why it can be used on humans with relatively few concerns.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Aqing took her father from Tetsuya.

He waved towards the distance.

Rescue workers quickly carried a stretcher over and took the old station chief out.

“I understand. If my father continues like this, his body will break down first. I should be thanking you.”

After doing all this, Aqing sighed and expressed her gratitude to Tetsuya.

My father is already an elderly man in his early seventies, and he usually handles most of the radio station's affairs.

Such extreme emotional swings could very well cause something unexpected to happen to the old station director.

This is something no one wants to see.

In contrast, Tetsuya's actions could be said to have saved the old station director's life.

We can't let superhuman strength knock the old station director unconscious, that would be worse than hypnosis.

"I'm glad you don't mind."

Tetsuya let out a long sigh of relief.
