Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"It's nice to meet you. These are the same kind of fairy food. If you eat them sparingly, they should last for a few days. See you next time."

Tetsuya hurriedly prepared to leave.

Halfway there, he turned around and took out several cans of elf food from his backpack, throwing them to Makushita Rikishi.

Although it may not be true, Makushita Rikishi's explanation did give him a new perspective.

"Mu"

The wrestler's eyes narrowed even more, and his entire face was filled with joy.

Waving at the Ice Vulpix that was looking back at it, Makushita Rikishi grabbed the can of food and ran back to its den there.

"Keio"

Tetsuya's shoulder received a response.

This chubby, cuddly guy is actually quite nice; I was just thinking of sharing some food with him.

Zhe didn't pay attention to the interaction between the two elves.

He jogged back to where he had come from.

Bogarman is puffing out his little face and splashing water at Pidgeot.

Pidgey lazily flew in mid-air, with Bogarman's water flowing straight through its body.

This is a visual effect caused by the excessive speed at which the eagle is sculpted.

It seemed to be enjoying itself.

"Poga Poga"

Upon seeing Tetsuya's return, Pogaman began her accusations.

It's nothing more than coming up and teasing the eagle; it's just a perverse hobby.

"You're really boring."

Zhe also grumbled angrily at Pidgeot.

He felt that the Blaziken learned from it.

The eagle landed on the riverbank, unperturbed, and began to drink.

Pogaman quickly put the matter aside.

With a proud expression, it pulled out two items from behind its back and handed them to Tetsuya.

A faint wire halo enveloped the area.

The fur on the Ice Six-Tails stood on end instantly.

Tetsuya was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Dragon scales and dragon fangs??"

His voice was cracking.

As we all know, Dragon-type Pokémon are mostly synonymous with power, and the items they produce are extremely rare.

Whether it's a dragon scale or a dragon tooth, a Champion-level Dragon-type Pokémon might only produce one in its entire lifetime.

After all, dragon scales are the most dangerous thing, and dragon teeth are the sharpest and most energetic of all.

These two items will only drop from a Dragon-type Pokémon when it dies.

"I'm really lucky."

At that moment, Tetsuya had only one thought in his mind.

Even if he didn't get any elf items from wild elves during his previous adventures, so what? These two items are more than enough to make up for that regret.

While the market price of dragon teeth and dragon scales may seem to be only nine figures, their actual value far exceeds that price.

After all, even if you have money, what can you do if others refuse to sell to you?

These two items often mean that you can use them to raise a decent Dragon-type Pokémon, and their value cannot be easily measured.

The price is justified by shortening the growth cycle of a significant portion of Dragon-type Pokémon.

"You're such a lucky star, little one."

Tetsuya excitedly picked up Pogaman.

Piplup didn't know what made these two items so precious, but seeing how happy the trainer was, it proudly raised its head.

"I'm awesome, aren't I?" it winked at the Ice Vulpix.

The Ice Vulpix, whose fur had just regained its smoothness, didn't even glance at Piplup.

Pidgey strolled over to Tetsuya's side, peering curiously at the dragon scales and dragon fangs.

Just now, it sensed the energy of these two items, which is why it called Tetsuya.

Chapter 445 Training Under the Waterfall

Tetsuya's heart skipped a beat: "Would these two things be useful to you?"

He asked the Pidgeot.

Pidgeot, as a Pokémon with initial Elite Four aptitude, had only one inherited move, Tornado, at birth.

At first, Tetsuya didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but as he studied more, he realized that under normal circumstances, Popo could not inherit this skill.

The only exception is that Pidgey's parent is a rather powerful Dragon-type Pokémon.

The powerful Dragon-type energy allowed Pidgey to master Tornado, a relatively weak Dragon-type move, ahead of time, in addition to its high potential.

This situation is not very common, after all, the number of Dragon-type Pokémon is still quite limited compared to other types of Pokémon.

But considering that Tetsuya obtained the Popo Egg in Viridian City, which is very close to Viridian Forest, it seems understandable.

The question of which spirits live in the vast Viridian Forest remains an unsolved mystery.

Tetsuya thought that Pidgeot might be able to use the Dragon-type energy from the Dragon Fang and Dragon Scales to give itself a boost.

"Beep"

Pidgeon shook its head as it looked at the dragon fang and dragon scale in Tetsuya's hand.

It can feel the familiarity that these two props bring, but they cannot help it improve itself.

Moreover, in essence, Pidgeot, whose body has been modified by Ho-Oh's Sacred Flame and possesses Champion-level potential, is no longer within the scope of enhancement that ordinary Pokémon items can provide.

Even if these two items are left behind by champion-level Dragon-type Pokémon, it's the same.

Or rather, as Flying and Normal type Pokémon, even if they have a slight effect on Pidgeot, the conversion efficiency is surprisingly low, making it extremely uneconomical.

"I see."

Tetsuya nodded.

There was no sense of disappointment; he had only asked the question casually.

Moreover, compared to Pidgeot with some Dragon-type bloodlines, these two items are more suitable for giving to true pure Dragon-type Pokémon.

Both dragon fangs and dragon scales can greatly shorten the long growth and development cycle of dragon-type Pokémon and further enhance their strength.

As an attribute-boosting item, the Dragon Fang truly enhances the power of Dragon-type moves.

Tetsuya never expected that his casual exploration would yield such great results.

"But, in that case, it has nothing to do with the Gyarados that Makushita Rikishi mentioned."

Tetsuya touched the smooth dragon fangs and scales thoughtfully.

Although Gyarados has "dragon" in its name and was often recognized as a real dragon in ancient records, even after Mega Evolution, Gyarados does not possess the Dragon type.

This means that even a champion-level Gyarados cannot generate the special attribute-boosting item, Dragon Fang.

Dragon scales, however, are somewhat possible.

At least it has some dragon-type genes; Gyarados does have what's called Outrage.

With the support of immense strength and a long period of time, cultivating dragon scales is not too difficult.

"I just don't know which type of dragon-type Pokémon these two dragon-type items came from."

Zhe did not make a hasty judgment.

It's not that he lacks knowledge in this area.

Although Dragon-type Pokémon are so rare that there are very few research papers on them, he still had some understanding of them, thanks to his extensive network of connections, including two Pokémon professors.

However, it's really hard to judge these two dragon-attribute items that vaguely exude flying-type energy.

Dragonite, Altaria, Salamence, and even Noivern, which was only discovered in Kalos, all possess both Dragon and Flying attributes.

Hmm, thinking about it a bit more, Rayquaza, the Sky Dragon, is also a dragon-flying creature.

Tetsuya quickly put the dragon's fang and dragon scales back into his spatial backpack.

Perfect timing, these two items might come in handy soon.

Is there anything else down there?

He picked up Pogaman and asked.

"Poga Poga"

Bogarman shook his head firmly.

These two things were actually dug out of a rock.

The bottom of the water is filled with nothing but soil and aquatic plants; there isn't even a carp.

Tetsuya wasn't greedy, and soon rode Pidgeot with the two little guys flying down the waterfall.

However, at Piplup's insistence, he put it back into the Poké Ball.

According to Pogaman, it was because it was tired of searching for things and wanted to take a break.

Tetsuya found it somewhat amusing, but considering that it had found those two items, he granted its request.

Anyway, you can't hide forever, and Piplup will eventually have to get used to doing high-altitude work on the back of a Flying-type Pokémon.

"Hmm, let Togekiss help it get used to it. It's much more stable than Pidgeot."

Tetsuya thought to himself as he sat on Pidgeot's back.

Once back on the ground, Xiao Gang, who had been staying up all night, had already gotten up.

A faint fragrance permeated this small area.

As an excellent breeder, Xiaogang is also a master cook, whose culinary skills surpass even Tetsuya's.

"How was the Golden Magikarp last night?"

Tetsuya waved for Pidgeot to train on its own and chatted casually with Gon.

Xiao Gang was in a very good mood: "Of course, I've successfully subdued them. Don't they know who I am?"

He pointed to a spot on the water: "Look, isn't it over there?"

Tetsuya looked in the direction he pointed and saw a golden Magikarp floating listlessly on the surface of the water.

"He doesn't seem very bright," he commented.

However, we can't expect too much from a Pokémon like Magikarp. Slowpoke is probably much smarter than them, just a bit slower in reaction.

Xiao Gang said irritably, "Go away, don't bother me while I'm making lunch."

Tetsuya quickly smiled and admitted his mistake.

"Oh, looks like I'm in for a treat today."

Nobuhiko was wiping his body with a pink towel.

"Nobuhiko-nii has finished his training."

Tetsuya greeted him.

From the moment he woke up, Nobuhiko has been standing under the waterfall with his bunch of Fighting-type Pokémon ever since.

I really don't know how he managed to hold on for so long.

Judging from the physical capabilities of humans, even Nobuhiko was probably sustained by his beliefs in the end.
