Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

If handled properly, it might even elevate the reputation of Manjin Radio to a new level.

The higher-ups at Fullmetal Radio had considered saying that Rainbow Feather was Fullmetal Radio's property, not Tetsuya's.

On the one hand, the rainbow feather flew into Tetsuya's hands in full view of everyone, which represents Ho-Oh's choice. People can't all be blind.

On the other hand, Tetsuya's backers are not to be underestimated either; in fact, the Kanto Alliance is a supporter of him.

Within minutes of the incident, countless calls were made to the mayor of Mankin City.

Without exception, they were all warnings.

Yes, the rainbow feather representing Ho-Oh is extremely precious, but that is not a reason for Goldenrod City to stand against nearly half of Kanto on its own.

Not to mention, several dojo masters in the Johto region have also issued warnings.

"With the station director and deputy director strongly opposing it, no one brought it up again."

Hu Tao recounted the story of yesterday in a very open and honest manner.

Tetsuya laughed: "Aren't you afraid I'll quit after hearing this, Kurumi-nee?"

"Hurry up, here's the contract. It basically means you'll sign an exclusive contract with our Manjin Radio, and we can broadcast the recorded programs in various regions. The price is eight million per month, and it's for one year."

Hu Tao rolled her eyes at him, then had Aoi Yan hand the contract to Tetsuya.

These conditions are excessively generous.

The key point is not the monthly salary, but the number of years.

If Manjin Radio wants to renew its short-term contract after one year, then Zheke's price will be much higher.

It will be at least three or four times higher.

In comparison, an annual expenditure of 100 million yuan is nothing to Manjin Radio.

At most, it costs about the same as half a signal device going into the sky.

Moreover, it's impossible for Manjin Radio not to renew the contract; Zhe is confident of that.

Hu Tao said, "This was something that I, the station director, and the deputy station director worked very hard to get for you, okay? Shouldn't you thank your older sister?"

"Then I'll treat Sister Hu Tao to a meal?" Tetsuya said as he signed the contract.

He's reviewed it; it's just a basic contract, nothing too serious.

"Never mind," Hu Tao sighed. "I'm incredibly busy. I have a guest to interview later today."

"Miss Xiaoju'er, you must be tired."

Hu Tao put away the contract and joked, "Oh, I didn't expect you to know so much about it. Are you a fan of theirs too?"

"That's true, after all, she's fair-skinned, beautiful, has long legs, and is also a wealthy woman."

Tetsuya clasped his hands together and said, "No, no, no, I just overheard it last time. Besides, Miss Kiku is a very strong trainer, so it's normal for me to pay attention to her."

The two chatted and laughed.

Kui Yan stood silently to the side.

Hu Tao's gaze swept over her, and she suddenly said, "By the way, you might have to do an episode with Kui Yan later. The station is planning to give her a show called 'Kui Yan's Secret Words'."

“Sure, I’d be happy to.” Tetsuya readily agreed.

Anyway, his exclusive licensing and program filming are paid separately, so the more he films, the more he earns.

If it weren't for the fact that filming every day wasn't ideal, Tetsuya would have liked to record 24/7.

"So, next up is the recording of the day after tomorrow's nature park."

I mean, you can connect with me via voice chat during the event and then broadcast it live.

Because the nature park is quite large, the radio station specially applied for a signal receiver to handle this event.

We hope your general route is like this: according to our records, this section of the route has a relatively rich variety of Pokémon...

As an experienced host, Hu Tao is not just a pretty face who sits in a room and talks.

Besides lecture-style programs, adventure programs are also one of her specialties.

"Will the organizers of the insect-catching competition agree?" Tetsuya didn't have any objections to the route planning, since he had been paid and would inevitably be subject to some restrictions.

But the insect-catching competition is, after all, a competitive event.

If this method is adopted, it would inevitably lose some of its fairness.

At least not everyone knows where there are any elves.

"Don't worry about that, just leave it to us."

Xiaoxi, who had entered at some point, patted her chest and confirmed, "Our family is the biggest sponsor of the bug-catching competition."

Tetsuya suddenly realized.

No wonder Hu Tao said she needed Xiao Qian's help with something.

"As for fairness, we can just change the rules a little. You don't mind adding some restrictions, do you?"

Akane looked at Tetsuya with a smile and said.

Tetsuya said he didn't care: "Sure, I'm not aiming for the championship anyway."

He wasn't a fan of Bug-type Pokémon, and he didn't have the idea that "conquering Bug-type Pokémon is equivalent to conquering the world."

The reason for participating in various activities is simply to add fun to a boring trip.

Otherwise, Tetsuya could have spent most of his time in the wild, only occasionally returning to town to rest, instead of doing it in one stretch after another like he is now.

He always felt that the journey through the elven world needed these things.

The train is moving forward; where it's going isn't important, what matters is the scenery outside the window.

Besides the partners who will always be there for you, the people you know are also crucial.

If Misty, May, Dawn, Alice, Serena, and Brock weren't there, if Ash hadn't been there to accompany him through region after region and experience one thing after another, would Ash still be the Ash we know today?

"Then let's set your capture count to three, while others have ten chances."

Xiaoxi muttered to herself.

At first glance, this restriction seems quite severe.

Because determining the winner of the insect-catching competition requires a comprehensive assessment.

Besides strength, potential, species, characteristics, and even appearance are all criteria for evaluation.

Having seven fewer chances means Tetsuya needs to be more careful in choosing who he targets.

If you carelessly use up all your chances, you might end up handing in a green caterpillar instead.

But Zhe also has a Zero.

He is definitely far superior to others in his judgment of these things.

Therefore, this restriction is almost non-existent for him.

He was happy with it; surely there were people in this world who would complain that victory came too easily and actively request to increase the difficulty.

Tetsuya isn't a masochist.

Even he would have to put in a little effort if he had three chances.

The group discussed the details briefly before parting ways.

Before leaving, Zhe didn't forget to take the main item he had come for: a large quantity of Moo Moo milk.

Xiaoqian's actions were certainly not simple.

He estimated that if these Moo Moo milks were stored properly, they would be enough for him to breed an unknown number of Pokémon next year.

"The people are really, really happy today."

Tetsuya walked down the street humming a cheerful tune.

Yesterday's auction cost 200 million, but unexpectedly, more than half of it was returned today.

With money in his hands, he straightened his back.

"Good afternoon, why are you so happy!" Qianli's voice came from the side.

Tetsuya turned his head and saw that he was standing next to a restaurant with his family, looking like they were about to have lunch.

"Good afternoon, Senri-senpai! Good afternoon, Mitsuko-neechan! And good afternoon, Haruka and Kacchan too!"

Tetsuya was all smiles.

Xiao Sheng snorted and turned his head away.

He hadn't forgotten that the day before yesterday, this guy had given him a mountain of homework.

Thinking of this small victory makes me want to cry.

Those are things he wouldn't do.

But his parents, especially Mitsuko, didn't care about his thoughts.

Hearing Tetsuya address her by that name, Mitsuko beamed: "Since we've run into each other, why don't we have lunch together?"

Qianli nodded: "Yes, that's a good time to tell me why you're so happy."

"Row."

Tetsuya, contrary to his usual behavior, did not refuse.

However, it seems that Chisato and Mitsuko really like his attitude.

The group of five walked in chatting and laughing, except for Xiao Sheng.

They booked a small private room, and the group sat down to chat.

Tetsuya, without any hesitation, talked about the collaboration with Full Gold Radio.

"That's great. Manjin Radio is quite famous in other regions, not to mention its excellent facilities."

Qianli was genuinely happy for Zheye.

Xiaoyao, who had been listening quietly to the side, had her eyes shining.

What did she hear? A host of an outdoor program! That's so cool!

Turning her head to look at her younger brother playing with his fingers, Xiaoyao suddenly realized that her little brother wasn't very good at it.

That older brother is so cool, he can't be wrong.

"Xiaosheng, you haven't finished your homework for lunch today."

Ignoring the adults' conversation, Xiaoyao displayed the authority of an older sister.

Xiao Sheng was stunned. Hadn't they agreed not to bring this up today? He had even given away his snacks!

Mitsuko turned her head when she heard this: "Katsuki, this won't do. You have to do your homework every day."

I'll let it slide today since I had dinner with your brother Tetsuya. From now on, make sure you're on time every time.

"it is good."

Xiao Sheng lowered his head bitterly. What could he possibly do?

Why would my older sister suddenly change her mind?

Looking at his older sister, who was sidling up to their father, Senri, and Tetsuya, listening to their stories of adventure with an expression of adoration, Kacchan understood.

He secretly vowed that he would become a super, super strong trainer in the future, and then beat his own father and this guy named Tetsuya to a pulp.

A cartoon character was jumping around in his mind.

Tetsuya was talking about their adventure in the Dark Cave, and Haruka excitedly made a camera lens shape with her fingers: "Are there any really scary Ghost-type Pokémon in the cave, the kind you can only see with special glasses?"

"No, Ghost-type Pokémon can be seen with the naked eye most of the time. Those that can only be seen with special glasses are actually spirits rather than Pokémon."

Tetsuya explained.

The most obvious example is the Marowak in the Pokémon Tower in Lavender Town.

But this situation is rare.

That Crawling was able to exist in the world in that form because of its deep-seated obsession with protecting its children, coupled with the special environment of Lavender Town.

Otherwise, the rules of the spirit world would not allow it.
