Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"Hahaha, where is it? Where is it?"

Zheng Hui scratched his head sheepishly: "I've heard about you from Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi. You're a very skilled trainer."

Muji also mentioned you to me, saying you're a very nice person and even helped him train his Pokémon.

Moji?

Upon hearing this somewhat unfamiliar name, Tetsuya paused for a moment.

I realized it immediately.

Wasn't that one of the three people I met for the first time in Asahi City last year?

The next morning, while exercising, he encountered the other person and the Pangolin practicing their skills.

However, at the time, he seemed to have just given a casual reminder, which was far from being any real help.

It's not surprising that Professor Oak and Professor Yamanashi address each other as "teacher," given that Professor Oak is a top student at Rainbow University.

Given his long-standing reputation as a Pokémon fanatic and inventor, it's no surprise that he was favored by the two professors.

Tetsuya chuckled: "How's Kiyoshi and his Sandslash doing lately?"

"What he says makes sense."

Zheng Hui shrugged: "However, I'm not very good at Pokémon training and battles, so I haven't looked into it in detail."

Tetsuya was somewhat confused.

Zheng Hui was aware that he was from Manjin City.

Judging from this, it seems that he likes the florist's daughter named Ryoko, and Chisato's wife is also good friends with Ryoko.

By a series of coincidences, the two met at Qianli's home.

However, what is the relationship between Kiyoshi, who lives far away in the Kanto region, and Masahiro?

Mitsuko cleared up his doubts.

"I didn't expect you two to know each other." She seemed very happy. "Well, outstanding people always understand each other."

"But it really is a coincidence."

Ryoko and I were just planning a farewell dinner for Masahiro, and Senri invited you to come over. Perfect timing, come along!

She said the same thing to Tetsuya.

"Where is Zheng Hui going?"

Qianli poured a glass of milk for her son and casually asked a question.

Zheng Hui laughed and said, "It's not about where I'm going, it's about me going back to Qian Hong."

Tetsuya's ears perked up.

"Oh? You don't live in Manjin?"

Qianli sat down and chatted with a group of people about everyday matters with great interest.

"Yes, because Grandpa is getting old, my sister and I live in Qianhong to make it easier to take care of him."

As for my parents, since my younger sister still needs to study, Manjin is more suitable.

I only come back to visit occasionally.

Zheng Hui's tone perfectly matched his current appearance.

This even gave Zhe the illusion that he, like the other person, was a descendant of nobility.

Otherwise, how could the two of them be sitting together chatting?

From Zheng Hui's explanation, he roughly understood why Muji and Zheng Hui knew each other.

Asahi City isn't a very big city, so it's likely that his grandfather and Kiji's family knew each other, which explains why the younger generation in the same city naturally had connections.

Qianli was already familiar with this feeling.

The nobility of the Pokémon world is simply composed of powerful trainers.

For Elite-level trainers, they can certainly call themselves nobles regardless of their birth.

He casually agreed, "Yes, yes, the basic education in Manjin City schools is really good, and that's why I live here."

"Oh, by the way, Tetsuya, you just said you were a teacher at the Pokémon Research School in Kanto, right?"

Senri suddenly shifted the topic to Tetsuya.

"Yeah, Professor Oak recommended me to go that time."

However, he was only serving as a temporary instructor for the training courses.

Tetsuya nodded.

Mitsuko's eyes lit up immediately: "That's such a coincidence! Kacchan is very interested in Pokémon breeding. I'll definitely ask you to give him some guidance when I have time."

Tetsuya smiled and said, "Mr. Senri is very skilled in Pokémon breeding, and my abilities are still far from his level."

Moreover, Pokémon training mainly involves memorizing and studying a lot.

Only after you've memorized the theory can you perform well in practice.

Zhenghui nodded in agreement.

As a newly appointed PhD, he strongly agrees with Tetsuya's views.

Only with a comprehensive and thorough understanding of the knowledge about elves can research be conducted.

Presumably, the training of Pokémon should be done in the same way.

"However, I do have a set of good supplementary teaching materials that I can recommend to you, Mitsuko-nee. It was specially compiled by my teacher back then."

His words made Xiao Sheng, who was drinking milk next to him, cough uncontrollably.

"Was it written by Gunta-senpai? Can I take a look?"

Zhenghui readily agreed to take over the conversation.

Tetsuya explained, "Of course, but it's just some basic stuff, so it probably won't be of much use to you, Masahiro."

"It's alright, it's always good to learn more."

"Gouta Sasaki is a highly respected scholar of Pokémon studies, and he's the best in the Kanto region when it comes to basic education."

As someone who was half from the Kanto region, Masaaki introduced himself to Chisato and Mitsuko.

Their smiles widened.

Xiao Sheng, standing to the side, sighed as he looked at the large, white milk jug.

It seems my future is destined to be bleak.

Watching his parents chatting animatedly and his bad older brother named Tetsuya, Kacchan began to think about how to deal with everything that was about to happen.

His gaze shifted to Masaki, who was chatting with Ryoko.

Could I ask this Zhenghui brother to tell me the answer to the question?

His dark eyes rolled around.

"Ryoko-neechan~"

Ryoko, who was laughing heartily at Masahiro's various Pokémon knowledge, heard Kacchan's voice and looked down: "What's wrong, Kacchan? Is something the matter?"

Having known Mitsuko for quite some time, Ryoko was naturally familiar with Kokachi.

She thought the little guy was very smart and cute.

Xiaosheng tried his best to stand on tiptoe and whisper something in Ryoko's ear.

A moment later, Ryoko playfully pinched Koharu's nose: "You little rascal, you've got a lot of tricks up your sleeve."

As she spoke, the way she looked at Tetsuya beside her was quite interesting.

Surprisingly, this handsome young man also likes to argue with children.

She could tell at a glance that Zhe was "retaliating" against Xiaosheng's rudeness.

But, to be honest, Ryoko felt that this was not a bad thing for Kosatsu.

"Well then, I'll leave it to you, Ryoko-neechan. This is my treat~"

Xiaosheng smiled ingratiatingly, placed the other glass of milk he had poured next to Liangzi, and then ran off to his older sister Xiaoyao's side.

Plan 1 is temporarily completed, but alternative plans are also necessary.

Zheng Hui laughed and asked, "What's wrong?"

"He just doesn't want to do the problems."

Ryoko began to explain the whole story to Masahiro.

"Oh, by the way, you can have this."

She casually pushed the milk towards Zhenghui.

On the other side, the Qianli couple also shifted the topic from their son to their daughter.

It was from them that Tetsuya learned that May had a great fear of Pokémon and being a Pokémon Trainer when she was a child.

The process is similar to Misty's fear of Gyarados.

During Xiaoyao's childhood, when she was swimming in the sea, many agate jellyfish appeared around her.

Wearing a blue swimsuit and swim cap, Haruka called for help from her parents, but her mother, Mitsuko, mistook her for a jellyfish and tried to catch her with a Poké Ball.

This directly led to the development of psychological trauma.

"It's all my fault. If only I hadn't been so careless."

When talking about this, Mitsuko felt very guilty.

Qianli quickly comforted her, "It's not your fault, it's not your fault. Besides, the child is still young, things will improve as he grows up."

Knowing what May would be like in the future, Tetsuya smiled and said, "That's right. And judging from May and Max's expressions, they don't seem to dislike Pokémon. She will become an excellent trainer in the future."

A coordinator is still a trainer, no problem.

"By the way, I'm still very curious about the Rainbow Feather. Would it be convenient for me to take a look at it?"

Seeing that his wife was still very sad, Qianli quickly changed the subject.

Tetsuya readily agreed and then took out the Rainbow Feather from his pocket.

"Is this the feather of the Phoenix King? It looks quite peculiar."

Zhenghui, who had somehow gotten close to them, let out a sigh.

The rainbow-colored feather before me no longer possessed the dazzling seven-colored radiance it had when it first appeared in the afternoon, but upon closer inspection, one could occasionally see brilliance flowing within it, making it appear quite extraordinary.

"It's a pity that Ho-Oh still hasn't shown up."

Ryoko, who was standing to the side, sighed.

As a native of the city, she also held Phoenix King in high esteem and longed for him.

Qianli touched it out of curiosity; the texture was somewhat hard, and it even had a slightly cool feel to it.

"I never expected that the Phoenix King, which has been out of the public eye for over a hundred years, would actually make its appearance today."

He was deeply moved.

"Find some time to study it and see how it goes. I'm very curious about what the energy inside is like."

Zheng Hui was itching to show off his skills.

Believe it or not, Tetsuya actually believed that he could come up with something.

After all, this person is a true genius researcher.

In other words, he's also half a madman.

Have you ever heard of Pokémon and humans fusing? It was Bill who did it, and he even successfully separated them.

Although his career was eventually halted by the league, it was enough to demonstrate his ability and his insane nature.

But he declined, saying, "That won't do. I was planning to let Blaziken carry it around for a while so I can learn from it."

Zheng Hui was still unwilling to give up: "It's okay, it's okay, I can wait. Just show it to me whenever you have time. You can be there to supervise."
