Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Tetsuya didn't let Blaziken carry him forward, but instead chose the more convenient Gallade.

The main reason is that Blaziken is too thin to carry him properly, so we have to carry him.

This makes it look rather unsightly.

It wouldn't matter in an emergency, but for now, let's forget about it.

The Psychic-type Gallade is different; using Psychic to carry Tetsuya is a fairly easy thing for it.

If it really can't catch up, teleporting someone a short distance in a row is not difficult for Gallade now, it just takes a lot of energy.

This is a weakness in terms of hard power, and we can only wait for it to grow gradually.

As soon as Gallade appeared, it knew what it had to do, and its blue-purple psychic powers instantly covered Tetsuya's body.

The human and the elf hovered slightly above the ground and began to move forward at high speed.

Blaziken shrugged and followed with a slight movement of its feet.

"Ow?"

The Dracovish looked at Gallade behind it and made a curious cry.

This was the first time it had ever seen such a spirit.

After sensing that Gallade was only at the elite level, Duraludon quickly turned its head away and stopped paying attention.

Too weak, boring.

The Pokémon inside the Poké Ball almost jumped out of its ball and slammed it with a water gun when it saw this.

Fortunately, it managed to hold back in the end.

"Listen to the trainer, and teach this guy a lesson after we've finished the important business," Prince Bo thought to himself.

It is also looking forward to what kind of new companion it will have.

The surrounding scenery flashed by rapidly.

Led by the aluminum-steel dragon, Tetsuya arrived at a desert area almost without any obstacles.

"Ow"

Aluminum Steel Dragon subconsciously lowered his voice and pointed to the desert in front of him.

This is the habitat of that group of Garchomp.

Tetsuya raised an eyebrow.

The Dragon Clan has really put in a lot of effort; the living environment inside this dragon's lair is perfectly suited to Garchomp's needs.

"Let's go in and take a look."

As he spoke, he pulled the aluminum-steel dragon and prepared to walk inside.

The tokens for participating in the Rising Dragon Trial and the pass certificates for the Three Dragons Trial were not for show; Xiao Chun sprayed an unknown liquid on all ten of their items.

With them around, as long as he doesn't take any dangerous actions against the Pokémon in the dragon's lair, even a champion-level Garchomp will at most drive him away, but won't attack him.

Just as Xiaochun said before entering, the basic safety of the Dragon Clan can be guaranteed.

But if someone really does something reckless and provokes another, then those tokens and certificates won't be as useful as you might imagine.

After all, once a Dragon-type Pokémon gets angry, it's very difficult for it to regain its senses unless its opponent or itself is knocked unconscious.

Chapter 478 Garchomp Clan

Because of its lightweight metal properties, the aluminum-steel dragon weighs only 20 kilograms.

Without any resistance, it was pulled into the desert by Tetsuya with one hand.

The fake newbie embraces Kosmomo, while the real Tokiwa deadlifts the aluminum steel dragon.

Aluminum Steel Dragon stepped onto the sand with a bewildered expression.

"Ow!"

Suddenly, it let out a painful cry.

Turning around, I saw the Blaziken, its claws ablaze, silently placing its claws on its back.

"Ow"

Aluminum Steel Dragon yelled somewhat irritably, "What are you trying to do? Want to fight again? Let me tell you, I can't beat you."

It was shouting with a fierce exterior but a weak interior.

However, it soon realized the significance of Blaziken's actions.

"Yan~"

A faint, menacing cry echoed from the depths of the desert.

The aluminum-steel dragon stiffened; it was all too familiar with that sound.

It's likely that Blaziken scalded it to lure out the Garchomp living inside.

Tetsuya stood silently in place, waiting.

Judging from the sound, it wouldn't take Garchomp long to get here at its speed.

Supersonic Pokémon is no joke.

Although it can't reach speeds of Mach 2 like Pidgeot, an adult Garchomp can still easily burst into supersonic flight for a short period of time.

as predicted.

Not long after, the sound of air being torn apart came.

A dark blue figure appeared in front of Tetsuya and Blaziken.

"just"

Garchomp glared angrily at Duraludon, which had entered its territory.

Wasn't this guy so shameful that he went to live outside? How come he's suddenly become so bold today?

It's important to know that although Duraludon is quite strong, due to its type, Garchomp, which is already slightly stronger, can usually suppress it when both are Champion-level creatures.

So there's another issue with what Aluminum Steel Dragon told Tetsuya before: the Garchomp clan doesn't need to rely on its champion-level leader to deal with it.

A few decent Garchomps would be enough to give it a run for its money.

Garchomp certainly saw Tetsuya and his two Pokémon, but being as arrogant as ever, it didn't take the man and his two Pokémon seriously at all.

Even when Blaziken displays its Champion-level aura, it's still the same.

It silently raised its sickle-like wings and aimed them at the aluminum steel dragon.

Seeing that things were not going well, Aluminum Steel Dragon quickly retreated behind Blaziken.

"Ow"

It howled at Tetsuya twice, as if to say, "Didn't you promise to stand up for me? I'm still injured."

Hearing its cry, the Garchomp, which was not in a good mood, also turned its attention to the human.

Looking for a fight, does that mean we have to get into a brawl?

Garchomp's fierce eyes revealed its desire for battle.

It was, after all, a Champion-level Pokémon, and it figured this Blaziken would probably give it some enjoyment.

"just"

It crouched slightly, assuming a fighting stance.

"Wait, wait, wait," Tetsuya quickly called out.

He didn't want to face Garchomp here right from the start.

Otherwise, how can you take away someone's descendants if you give them a bad impression?

Without saying a word, he pulled out several tokens: "I am a trainer participating in this Dragon Rising Ceremony. I came here to get to know the strongest race here."

The strongest race?

Garchomp, preparing for battle, blinked its not-so-large eyes and suddenly found this human quite pleasing to the eye.

That's right, they are the strongest group in the dragon's lair, and those Dragonite and Salamence are no match for them at all.

Garchomp slowly straightened its body.

With a slight twitch of his nose, he quickly caught a familiar scent from the keepsake Tetsuya had taken out.

It also knows what the Rising Dragon Ritual that Tetsuya mentioned is.

only...

"just"

It waved its wings at Tetsuya with a hint of disdain.

What's this talk about getting to know the tribe? It's just about trying to subdue its own little ones. It's not stupid.

In Garchomp's eyes, the human in front of him was pleasing to the eye, but he was still somewhat lacking in strength.

It points in the direction beyond the desert.

Out of consideration for the zookeepers, Garchomp said it could forgive the intruder's behavior of trespassing, but it would let it go if it captured the cub.

Tetsuya's brows furrowed unconsciously.

He never imagined he wouldn't even get to see a giblet.

No wonder the Dragon Ascension Ceremony is held every three years, but very few quasi-gods are subdued from the dragon's lair.

Most trainers who enter the game can only catch non-Dragon-type Pokémon with Dragon-type bloodlines, and the few trainers who catch Dragon-type Pokémon are just ordinary types.

Examples include the Tanabata Bluebird, the Red-faced Dragon, and the Desert Dragonfly.

"just"

Seeing Tetsuya deep in thought, Garchomp impatiently urged him again.

"Hey."

Tetsuya sighed; it seemed he had no choice but to resort to another method.

His hand slowly reached into the spatial backpack on his back.

A light blue scale appeared in his hand, and the unique pressure of the dragon attribute enveloped the surrounding area.

It was he who found the dragon scales at the Ryūmon Waterfall on Mount Raibo, along with a dragon tooth that Tetsuya also obtained.

Since there's no way to get in directly, then we'll resort to bribery.

Even a fully grown Garchomp can still benefit from Dragon Scales.

As a rare item that can only be produced by powerful Dragon-type Pokémon, the Dragon Scale has a function that goes far beyond simply allowing Seadra to evolve into Kingdra.

In other words, it is an incredibly difficult thing to make a Pokémon with dragon bloodline truly become a dragon-type Pokémon.

Even Charizard can only acquire the Dragon type after it reaches Mega Evolution.

"I'll give you this, and you can take me in. After all, whether I can take the Gible with me ultimately depends on the approval of your clan leader, right?"

Tetsuya said to Garchomp, who was staring intently at the dragon scales, "Of course, if we don't succeed, I'll have to trouble you to take me to the other two clans."

Upon hearing the first part of the sentence, Garchomp nodded in agreement.

But as Tetsuya uttered the second half of his sentence, its attitude became hesitant again.

It's fine if it's just your own family; bringing a non-threatening human in isn't a big deal when everyone's on your side.

But it's different for other ethnic groups.

Although their relationship is not bad because they are of the same race, it is only so-so.

Bringing a human in would be quite troublesome.

However, the aura emanating from the dragon scales is quite attractive to Garchomp.

After hesitating for a long time, Garchomp finally nodded reluctantly under Tetsuya's surprised gaze.

He breathed a long sigh of relief.
