Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Zheng Hui's reasons were somewhat far-fetched.

But the strangeness is also very much in line with his personality.

Tetsuya laughed heartily.

One can imagine that once that giant Dragonite appears, Bill will have another reason to complain.

"Drip drip"

at this time.

A series of urgent alarm sounds came from Minglan's pocket.

His expression turned serious.

He pulled out a communicator that looked like a scientific product from the last century and put it to his ear.

"Okay, I understand. I'm near White Cape now. It should take about ten minutes to get there. I'll leave right away."

Let the guards over there hold out for a while.

The aged voice brought an unusually profound sense of security.

"Excuse me, there's been a problem in the Rocky Mountain Wilderness, I need to go there and take care of it."

You can go back to Cerulean City and rest first. I'll treat you both well when I get back.

Minglan said this.

"Okay, you go ahead with your work."

The two responded immediately.

As a gym leader in the city, Minglan has a lot on her plate.

Being able to communicate with them for so long is already quite a favor.

"Steel Cannon Shrimp, let's go."

Minglan called to the Steel Cannon Shrimp and led them towards the sea.

It seems he didn't bring any spirits with him for traveling.

Tetsuya hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Um, if you don't mind, could you take me with you? I think I might be able to help out a little."

"It should be faster than the flying eagle and the swimming steel cannon shrimp."

He added.

Although the Steel Cannon Shrimp is also a swimming champion, its speed of traveling over 100 kilometers per hour in the water is definitely not comparable to the Mach 2 flight speed of the Pidgeot.

That is, Cerulean City is a city similar to Venice on water.

The nearby waterways are well-connected, allowing access to almost any place.

If this were Nibi City, which is closer to the inland, Minglan's idea of ​​using the Steel Cannon Shrimp to travel would be a complete pipe dream.

Moreover, how big is a single steel cannon-armed shrimp?

Taking people with you is pure torture.

Minglan stopped in her tracks.

After thinking for a moment, he did not refuse Tetsuya's kindness: "Then thank you. It's just that my Gyarados is not with me today, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to so much trouble."

"It's nothing, it's what I should do."

Seeing this, Tetsuya immediately sent out Pidgeot from his Poké Ball.

With its large body, its back is big enough for two people to stand on.

"The stone pillar in the southeast direction, hurry up."

As Minglan put away her Steel Cannon Arm and climbed onto Pidgeot's back, Tetsuya's psychic powers quietly enveloped the two of them.

"Beep—"

Upon receiving the command, Pidgeot soared into the sky.

It turned into a black dot and disappeared into the horizon almost instantly.

Zheng Hui was left all alone and somewhat bewildered.

No, we agreed that the two of us would go back to Hualan, so how come he's the only one left?

However, Zheng Hui didn't dwell on it too much.

His trainer skills, while not necessarily exceptionally strong, should be sufficient to ensure his safety in a place like this.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to the cliff on his own initiative.

"Being a curator is really a tiring job."

He released his spirit companions to protect him, and Masahiro sighed silently.

air.

As the Pidgeot flew at breakneck speed, the surrounding scenery became blurred.

"Your superpower is amazing, it must be at the Heavenly King level, right?"

Minglan looked at the surrounding barriers with great emotion.

Because of the equipment Bishas had, he hadn't really noticed Tetsuya's superpower strength.

Looking at it now, I'm quite amazed.

"Yes, it was only recently achieved; it will be very difficult to go any further."

Zhe did not deny it.

When he first activated his superpowers, he was roughly at the peak of the elite level compared to other elves.

Compared to normal people, they are certainly not worse off.

But it does somewhat betray the identity of a time traveler.

Fortunately, the improvement rate afterwards was very fast.

After several months of meditation practice, he reached the Heavenly King level almost without encountering any bottlenecks.

Gallade's normal psychic abilities are not as strong as his, the trainer's.

The happy mood didn't last long.

Once you reach the Heavenly King level, the rate of improvement slows down considerably.

If I had to describe it, it was like opening a floodgate before, but now it's like squeezing toothpaste.

The differences were so great that Tetsuya found it somewhat difficult to adapt.

If Natsumi hadn't said it was normal, he would have suspected there was something wrong with his body.

"By the way, Master Minglan, what happened in the Rocky Mountain Wilderness?"

Tetsuya asked.

If he remembers correctly, the area is quite large.

In addition to the stone forest on the ground, there are also very complex tunnels underground.

Long ago, this was a vital transportation route connecting the three towns of Cerulean, Golden Yellow, and Aster.

"Actually, it's just a lingering old problem."

Minglan shook her head helplessly.

Chapter 575 A Fleeting Shadow? (Edited in 3/4 minute)

This is similar to most of the events Tetsuya has encountered before.

This time, an elf uprising also occurred in the Rocky Wilderness.

For the people of the elven world, this is a very common occurrence.

This is why being a trainer is a high-risk profession.

If they are experienced and capable, then it's fine.

If any one of these conditions is missing, dying in the wild is a matter of minutes.

Because you never know whether what jumps out of the grass is a caterpillar or hundreds or thousands of bee-like wasps.

The former can only live for one second, and the latter can only live for one second as well.

The difference lies in the target audience.

Going back in time, roughly one or two hundred years.

Back then, the frequency of wild elves' uprisings was far less than it is now.

The main reason for this is the continuous expansion of human activity.

When one party expands its sphere of activity, the other party's sphere of activity inevitably shrinks.

This undoubtedly brought about a series of consequences.

The biggest and most obvious consequence is the reduction in food.

There is no doubt that elves possess great intelligence.

Perhaps the culprit behind this phenomenon was not discovered at the beginning.

But as time went on, they tacitly turned their common goal to humans.

This has led to many human trainers being attacked while walking on wild paths, and human cities being attacked by Pokémon from time to time.

Especially on the outskirts of the city.

Most elves are friendly, that's true.

However, this is only true if there is no conflict between the two parties; only then will the elf be friendly towards the other party.

Even someone as kind as a custard egg.

For a period of time, when encountering humans or other spirits in the wild, they would immediately choose to run away.

Even if the other party is injured and needs treatment.

The reason why Chansey is now extremely rare in the wild is only partly due to the monopoly of the Joy family.

More importantly, it is hunted by some malicious individuals—Chanee's eggs are nutritious and delicious, and are enjoyed by both humans and Pokémon.

Its appeal is in no way less than that of the scallion duck.

It was only after a period of rampant hunting aimed at obtaining the eggs from its belly that the number of Chansey eggs dropped to a level where the Joy family could monopolize them.

This is quite different from the situation of the Growlithe and Officer Jenny families.

"If I remember correctly, the riots of the Pokémon in the Rocky Wilderness have never stopped since I became the Cerulean Gym Leader."

Minglan's aged face was full of helplessness. "But it's only the first time this year, so it can be considered good news."

It's possible that the area around the rocky wilderness itself is not rich in resources.

Therefore, it is less affected by the related factors.

Like Viridian City and Nibi City.

The area bordering Viridian Forest and Mt. Tsukimi is incredibly chaotic.

It's not surprising at all that you might get robbed by wild elves while walking down the street.

Those who can emerge from inside unscathed are truly formidable individuals.

"There's nothing we can do."

Tetsuya also sighed.

He has firsthand experience with this.

In the early stages of making a living in Viridian Forest, nearly two-thirds of his expenses were spent on recovering from injuries.

What about the poisonous sting of the unicorn beetle, the paralyzing powder of Paras, and the sweet scent of Oddish?

These are among the simplest types of injuries.
