Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

The power supply was not specified.

He felt that his interest in fighting might never cease.

The pressure coming from young people is really immense.

"Alright, I'll get back to work now. I'll leave Binhai City to you."

After giving a shout, Da Ye rode his fiery steed and hurriedly left in another direction along the main road.

As a champion, he is very busy.

He rarely comes back unless his friend has a mental breakdown.

Denji walked back to the dojo alone.

A blonde woman stood silently at the entrance of the dojo, looking up as if lost in thought.

"Hello, are you here to challenge the gym? You need to register with Nurse Joy first."

In a great mood, Dianci kindly offered a reminder because she was a beautiful woman.

The blonde woman snapped out of her daze.

With his gaze fixed on Denji, he said, "Hello, I'm here to obtain the 'real' lighthouse badge."

To make her intentions clear, she emphasized the pronunciation of the two characters "真真" (zhenzheng).

The smile on Dianci's face vanished instantly.

"Trying to cause trouble?"

He responded somewhat coldly, "Come with me."

Denji did not ask the blonde woman to demonstrate her strength.

Knowing about this and coming to challenge it.

If it's just a joke, he'll let the other person know what the wrath of a strong person is like.

"Squeak-"

The underground space, which had just been repaired, welcomed its second guest of the day.

for a long time.

"Well then, thank you for your hospitality. I'll accept the lighthouse badge for now."

The blonde woman calmly took the special badge from Denji's hand.

He turned and left the battlefield, completely ignoring the latter's devastated expression.

"This level of strength? You must be joking..."

The bewildered voice of the electric cynic echoed underground.

Keep it safe for now...

This woman, could she be thinking of...?

He reached out his trembling hand and dialed Da Ye's number.

at this time.

Tetsuya and Masaki are still on their way north.

Unaware of the immense blow that Denji, whose fighting spirit had just been rekindled, had suffered once again.

Chapter 600: Rumors Circulating, A Sea Journey (Revised in 3/4 of an Hour)

Tetsuya and Masahiro continued northward.

The Sinnoh region was finally fully revealed to them.

In just three days.

Their clothing changed from thin short sleeves to thick down jackets.

Even Tetsuya, whose superpowers have largely recovered, is no exception.

In the wild, these unnecessary expenditures should be avoided if possible.

Achoo!

in the cave.

Standing around the fire pit built by the Blaziken, Zheng Hui sneezed violently.

Such a large temperature difference.

Without realizing it, he unfortunately caught a cold.

This is thanks to his excellent physical condition.

Otherwise, it will be even more serious.

“Sha…”

Enjoying the warmth of the flames, Masahiro showed a happy expression: "Really, I don't know how the people in the Sinnoh region get used to this kind of environment."

For him, who was born and raised in the Kanto region and Johto.

The current temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius can already be described as extremely cold.

Although they were still quite a distance from the Fire region to the north.

The climate there might be even harsher than here in Sinnoh.

Tetsuya silently fiddled with the fire.

"Hey, who is that blonde woman?"

To think they could win the championship through such a method, they really have some nerve.

Masahiro didn't pay attention to Tetsuya's attitude.

Three days is not a long time.

But that was enough for him to get used to the other person.

He was enthusiastically discussing the blonde woman that had recently been circulating in the Sinnoh region.

Heading north all the way, heading north all the way.

Tetsuya and Masaki are not savages.

If one can rest in a town, then naturally one would not choose to remain in the wilderness.

therefore.

Their intelligence updates have not lagged behind.

During these three days.

News of the defeat of several official gym leaders and the theft of the real gym badges spread quickly.

The key is.

One of them is Denji, widely recognized as the strongest Gym Leader in Sinnoh.

to be frank.

The two were very surprised when they heard the news.

It was precisely because of contact with electricity.

They then realized that the other party's strength was not just talk.

The person who could defeat him and seize the real Lighthouse Badge must be incredibly powerful.

The so-called real badge can actually be understood as the license issued by the League to the official gym.

The ones sent out in the dojo battles are just mass-produced imitations.

To become a formal dojo master.

Besides the normal application process, another important way is to obtain the official gym badge through challenges.

In other words.

If you can defeat a formal gym leader and gain the approval of most of the original gym members, then taking over the position is not a difficult thing.

Aside from formal dojos run by families or master-disciple schools.

Many members of formal dojos are people who come together because they believe in the strong.

Personal charisma and the like are mostly just talk.

Only a few people, such as Natsume and Giovanni, are truly like that.

If you are strong enough, then many problems will no longer be problems.

The purpose of this system is to prevent some dojo owners from losing their ambition or even from engaging in malicious incidents such as bullying their dojo members.

Judging from the results, the league's move was quite good.

in fact.

It would be one thing if Denji alone had his real gym badge taken away.

Given how vast the Sinnoh region is, it's normal for there to be hidden, powerful trainers.

They earned their qualifications through their own abilities and by following the rules; there's nothing wrong with that.

At most, you'll be surprised for a moment, but that'll pass.

With Denji's abilities, he could easily become the official host in another city.

Many cities even welcomed them with open arms.

Completely ignoring the dark expression on his own dojo master's face.

I have a good friend named Da Ye.

There wouldn't be any ungrateful fools who would laugh at Denji.

The issue is.

One incident after another occurred, and the instigator was always the same person.

This caused an uproar throughout the Sinnoh region.

A rule that everyone subconsciously ignored came to mind.

Regional champions can be challenged directly by collecting all the official gym badges in the region.

To put it simply...

They smashed up all the gyms of all the official gym leaders in the Sinnoh region.

So, regardless of whether you have participated in the tournament before, and regardless of your trainer level as recognized by the league.

The current regional champion must accept your challenge.

The loser leaves the stage.

Compared to the normal process of winning the championship, this model has been a mere formality since its inception.

Rookie Trainer – Elite Trainer – Tournament Top 4 – Elite Trainer – Gym Leader – Elite Four – Champion.

If all intermediate processes are omitted.

The development history of a regional champion should be roughly like this.

Historically, no one has ever reached the champion level during the elite trainer certification period by deliberately avoiding competitions and fame.

Talent and potential are very important aspects, whether for Pokémon or Trainers.

Not to mention the consumption of resources.

on the other hand.

What young person doesn't crave recognition?

With this league system in place, each regional champion becomes the most watched superstar in their own territory.

No one can resist this temptation.
