Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"Hello, is this Tetsuya? Why did it take you so long to answer?"

Zheng Hui's voice was somewhat muffled.

His tone was full of excitement: "Never mind your reasons, are you free now? Come to White Rock, I have a big discovery!"

"White rocks? Now?"

Tetsuya subconsciously asked back.

"Yes, I'm almost there, I'll be waiting for you!"

Zhenghui hurriedly hung up the phone, not caring whether Zheyou had agreed or not.

He looked decisive and efficient.

People who don't know the situation might think the two are very close.

Actually.

So far, Tetsuya has only met him twice.

"Is it that special rock from last time?"

It seems that Zheng Hui is indeed a very outstanding researcher.

"It's amazing that they made a discovery in such a short time."

Minglan guessed the purpose of Zhenghui's call from Tetsuya's few words.

He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"Go quickly, but your Blaziken should fight less these next few days and focus on resting."

"Okay, thank you for your help this time, Master Minglan."

Tetsuya scratched his head somewhat sheepishly: "I'll cover the repair costs for the damaged area later..."

Minglan waved her hand dismissively, stopping him with a grand gesture: "It's a small matter, no need to discuss it!"

This amount of money is something my Hualan Dojo can afford; consider it as routine annual maintenance.

"It makes me very happy to see a young trainer like you grow to this level!"

No exaggeration or bias.

Thanks to its advantageous geographical location, Hualan City's overall economy is truly excellent.

As the city's flagship dojo, Cerulean Dojo's revenue ranks among the top of all official dojos in the Kanto region.

In particular, the three sisters' underwater ballet performance has opened up new ways for Hua Lan Dojo to make money.

Seeing that Zheye still wanted to say something, Minglan impatiently pushed him out the door: "Stop talking, stop talking."

If that bastard Wu Po finds out, he'll laugh at me for being petty again. You'd better get back to what you're doing!

The old man's strength was unexpectedly great.

Tetsuya had no choice but to accept the other party's kindness.

"How about it?"

Watching his departing figure, Minglan suddenly asked a question, somewhat puzzled.

"What do you mean, how about it?"

Sakura emerged from behind the door, puzzled.

She knew that she couldn't hide her tracks.

The two men noticed her as soon as she arrived.

I'm just too lazy to say it.

Minglan looked at her eldest granddaughter with a hint of amusement: "I've heard that you have quite a bit of a crush on Tetsuya."

"Where did this news come from?"

Sakura was completely confused.

She had heard many rumors about Tetsuya, but none of them featured her as the female lead.

"No?" Minglan was taken aback. "My dear granddaughter has such high standards?"

"grandfather!"

Sakura pouted coquettishly, "Your granddaughter is so young, and you're already in such a hurry to get married?"

"Whether you think it or not, your grandpa wholeheartedly agrees."

Minglan said with a smile, "That kid is a real gem with huge potential."

No, much of its potential should have already been realized by now.

"oops!"

Sakura stomped her foot in dissatisfaction: "I'm ignoring you, I'm going to train!"

With that, she walked out.

Minglan did not stop her.

just.

In a corner where no one could see him, he sighed almost imperceptibly.

the other side.

Tetsuya, riding on the Pidgeon, has already arrived at the White Cape.

We walked through the dense bushes.

The familiar clumps of Gracidia flowers came into view.

but.

Apart from that still towering white rock, there was not a single person in sight.

"Is Zheng Hui going to stand me up?"

Tetsuya muttered to himself.

"Snapped"

A hand patted him on the shoulder from behind.

Tetsuya instinctively threw the ball over his shoulder.

"You—ah—"

A familiar male voice let out a scream.

Looking at Zheng Hui lying sprawled on the ground, the instigator blushed.

"You idiot, didn't you even bother to call out when we arrived?"

However, Tetsuya was no pushover either, and immediately took the initiative: "Approaching a trainer from behind in the wild is a provocative act."

"hiss--"

Zheng Hui grimaced and clutched his waist: "You bastard, how can you be so strong? It hurts so much!"

As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Tetsuya: "Don't you have superpowers?"

I don't believe you didn't notice I arrived! This is pure revenge! How dare you blame me?

"I'm doing this to educate you."

From now on, your research institute will also be located in the wild, so you must follow the rules for trainers in the wild!

Tetsuya spoke with great conviction.

Although Zheng Hui is unlikely to harm him, the fewer people who know about the damage to his mental strength, the better.

At the same time, he also began to reflect.

It seems that after gaining superpowers, he has become much less vigilant about his surroundings.

It's incredible that Zheng Hui could touch his back without being detected.

If this were the Rockets...

His fate will be quite grim.

Fortunately, this was discovered in time.

This is a good time to practice combat skills and solidify my perception.

Tetsuya secretly made arrangements.

Zhenghui was still lying on the ground, groaning and moaning.

"Stop pretending. I already held back. With your physical condition, you'll be fine."

He said it in an annoyed tone.

It may be related to his admiration for Professor Oak.

Don't be fooled by Zheng Hui's seemingly gentle and weak appearance, which is due to his glasses.

Beneath his oversized clothes, his muscles were no joke.

of course.

Tetsuya is more inclined to believe it's a "side effect" left by the fusion of this madman and the elf.

Because the opponent's physical abilities were superhuman, and their fighting skills were almost nonexistent.

Such a thing is almost impossible in the world of elves.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Hui shook his head and got up from the ground: "You have no heart! You didn't even try to help me up."

"Go! Go! Go.

Tell me, what did you discover?

I'm in a hurry to get back for dinner, I'm starving!

Tetsuya urged.

A long time passed between receiving the package and checking Blaziken's stats after the battle.

The intense battle required a lot of thinking, which also drained his energy.

At this moment, he could feel his stomach rumbling.

Zheng Hui didn't joke around much, and his expression immediately became serious: "You might not believe it, but I discovered traces of the legendary elves nearby."

The legendary spirits are the proper name for mythical beasts.

"Oh, which one?"

Tetsuya was as calm as if Masahiro were asking him, "Have you eaten?"

joke.

He has seen phantoms of Lugia, the three legendary birds, the three legendary beasts, Mewtwo, and even the creator god Arceus.

It's just a possible mythical beast; it's not something that should surprise him.

"That's a legendary elf! Can you please not be so cold!"

Zheng Hui was getting a little frantic.

He brought Tetsuya up to discuss this matter, but this wasn't the reaction he expected.

"You're making a fuss over nothing." Zhe waved his hand dismissively. "Why do you look like you've never seen anything like it? It's just a mythical beast."

"You bastard..."

Zheng Hui felt a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and couldn't spit it out.

After his face contorted for a few seconds, he finally revealed the truth in dejection: "It's Suicune."

"Suiki."

Tetsuya found it even more boring.

Those blue dogs actually feel quite nice to the touch, and I'd recommend them.
