Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"Hey--"

The surrounding contestants all sighed without exception.

Hiroaki Kurosaki was unlucky, but weren't they just as unlucky?

"Giving up like this? That's pointless."

Tetsuya was completely unaware of the psychological pressure and blow his actions had put on his opponent.

Seeing Kurosaki Hiroter's state, he also felt quite bored.

"Monarch Serpent, Magic Leaf after meditation, finish this quickly."

"chirp"

Accompanied by the soft hiss of the Monarch Serpent, a sky full of purple light obscured everyone's vision.

And, the figure of the giant carnivore.

"Vanilla is unable to fight, Serperior wins."

The referee had completely transformed into a ruthless broadcasting machine.

Finishing get off work early means I can leave early; it looks like I'll have an extra lot of rest time today.

"Come back, Victreebel, go, Venusaur!"

Kurosaki Hiroshi, as usual, recalled and released the items.

"It's finally over..."

He relaxed completely.

Chapter 560 Semifinals: Yuuji's Other Trump Card (Edited in half an hour)

"Venusaur is unable to battle, Serperior wins."

Hiroaki Kurosaki's six Pokémon have all lost their ability to battle.

The winner of this battle is—Tetsuya Tamaki!

"Let's congratulate Trainer Tetsuya Tamaki on becoming the third trainer to enter the top eight of this year's Silver Tournament!"

The referee's and commentator's voices echoed throughout the circular arena.

The cheers from the audience soared into the sky.

This kind of overwhelming yet spectacular duel is exactly what they wanted.

As for Hiroaki Kurosaki?

Few people pay attention to losers.

unless......

His opponent was a super genius.

"So, Mr. Hiroaki, what are your thoughts on the Togekiss and Serperior Pokémon that Tetsuya Tamaki sent out? Are they Elite Four level Pokémon as we thought?"

Do you think these two Pokémon are among the best in the Elite Four level?

When reporters realized they couldn't squeeze into the line to interview Tetsuya.

As a result, many people decisively changed their direction.

Since it's impossible to interview the winners, asking the losers is a good alternative.

At least it provides another perspective on the winner.

What if some people actually like watching this?

just.

For Hiroaki Kurosaki, these questions were like rubbing salt into his wounds.

There was a long silence.

He forced a smile and replied, "Yes, the opponent is an outstanding trainer. Both of his Pokémon have reached the Elite Four level, making him an absolute genius."

In the battle with him...

Even if he didn't want to answer, Hiroaki Kurosaki could still distinguish between what was important and what was not.

This is an interview that took place after the regional conference, the kind that's going to be on TV.

I've already lost, I can't afford to lose the chance to become famous and make money too.

Wouldn't that be like losing both your wife and your army?

In other words, he still has the spirit of a trainer.

If it were a businessman, he would probably already be thinking about how to make a big deal out of his failure.

The first player in the Silver Tournament to lose to a genius trainer in a full-team battle.

This gimmick was enough to generate a considerable amount of profit in a short period of time.

the other side.

Tetsuya felt an overwhelming headache coming on as he looked at the huge crowd of reporters in front of him.

"Mr. Tetsuya, could you please tell me how many Elite Four level Pokémon you have in your main team?"

"Mr. Tetsuya, you registered a total of ten Pokémon for this Silver Tournament. Is there any significance to this number?"

"Mr. Tetsuya, may I ask...?"

"Mr. Tetsuya..."

I don't know how many microphones were thrust at Tetsuya.

"As for the few Elite Four level Pokémon, that's personal information and I can't reveal it at the moment, but you'll see later."

"The quantity doesn't matter, it's just right."

Fortunately, he was a worldly person who had seen the world at the Kanto Conference.

Although it wasn't as enthusiastic as it is now, at least we were somewhat prepared.

"Tsk, what an annoying guy."

From the stands, Kajiyama's tone was somewhat sour.

Yuji, standing next to him, smiled and shook his head: "Who can blame him for being so strong? It's only natural."

Kajiyama knew, of course, that what the other party said made sense.

but.....

"I'm still so angry."

He clenched his fists in a frantic grip.

"gone."

Suddenly, Yuji patted Kajiyama on the shoulder.

Kajiyama was taken aback: "Huh? That guy's still here..."

Looking down sharply, Tetsuya was nowhere to be seen in the interview area below.

"He's a superhuman, unlike us who have to walk."

Yuji stabbed Kajiyama in the heart again.

"It's so unfair!"

The latter's wails echoed all the way.

The two met up with Tetsuya at a restaurant and ruthlessly extorted money from their victorious friend.

Kajiyama argued vehemently, "This is compensation for my fragile heart. We're such good friends, and you kept it from me!"

What have I been hiding from you?

Watching Kajiyama devour his food, Tetsuya felt a pang of regret for his wallet while also being somewhat puzzled.

"Don't you all know that my Pokémon has reached the Elite Four level?"

"I know, but you didn't say there were that many."

Yuji took over the conversation.

The way he ate was even more impressive than Kajiyama's.

I don't know how he managed to say it so clearly: "We know Pidgeot and Blaziken, but you haven't mentioned the rest."

"No?"

Tetsuya thought about it carefully.

It seems to be true.

The breakthrough of the other five Pokémon, led by Pang Yan Guai and possessing the strength of a Champion, coincided with the time when he was out there exploiting various legendary Pokémon.

Obsessed with making money, he had no time to show off his partner's progress.

Instead of wasting time on this, it would be better to carefully consider what aspects of the information those mythical beasts had told him could be explored further.

Moreover, in Tetsuya's view...

"You should have been prepared for my genius. Do I really need to tell you this little thing in person?"

He said calmly.

"Oh"

“Te”

The two men made dismissive noises.

Not long after.

The three, having eaten and drunk their fill, returned to their respective rooms.

under the moonlight.

Yuuji gripped the Poké Ball to his chest: "What a formidable opponent, isn't he, Dragonite?"

The Poké Ball shook slightly, as if confirming his statement.

"However, we are not so easy to defeat. We must leave him with an unforgettable impression."

Yuji raised his head with a smile on his face.

.......

"Tetsuya has sent out the Electric Dragon!"

"This is a pink, shiny, shiny electric dragon! What an incredibly rare creature!"

"Another Elite Four level Pokémon!"

Moreover, the lightning of this pink electric dragon is far too powerful!

None of Yang Si's Pokémon could even withstand the second move! Even with a type advantage, the outcome was the same!

All I can say is, it truly lives up to its reputation as the most ferocious Electric-type Pokémon! Its violent aesthetics are simply mesmerizing!

The commentator's shouts were deafening.

However, at this moment, not a single viewer questioned or expressed dissatisfaction with his commentary.

Because they felt the same way.

Look up at the large screen above the venue.

Below the green Fang Tianye Yang Si's portrait, all five elf slots had dimmed.

They are Nidoking, Scizor, Black Growlithe, Ursaring, and Swellow.

Only one elf slot remained, shining brightly.

That represents the Fire Beast on the field.

In stark contrast is the logo below Tetsuya's portrait.
