Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

of course.

In this respect, the alliance's plan has encountered some problems.

Or rather, we can't blame them.

Who would have thought that all the new champions of the last decade or so have some kind of brain problem?

One or two of them don't care about their jobs at all.

But from another perspective...

As champions and trainer geniuses, every regional champion is extremely proud.

The championship title will never be handed over unless someone gains recognition or defeats them head-on.

Even if they don't want to be one, it doesn't matter.

That's roughly the mentality I have.

By a twist of fate, the alliance's intentions were achieved.

If the result is good, the process is not so important.

But now.

Such a person has appeared.

The blonde woman named Cynthia was only registered as an elite trainer in the League.

In fact, the last update to their strength was three years ago.

This entity's recent actions directly target the forgotten "championship rules."

Even if the investigation reveals that the other party is the granddaughter of Dr. Mustard and Dr. Yamanashi, this news is still surprising enough.

"I never expected you to do it this way..."

Tetsuya, fiddling with the pile of firewood, smiled enigmatically.

He had originally thought that Cynthia would be competing in the regional tournament, the Elite Four competition, and the Road to the Championship within a year.

As a result, they changed to a method that no one expected.

All I can say is...

"She truly deserves to be called the most talented female trainer in the history of the Pokémon world."

He sighed.

What? You're asking why only the most dazzling female trainers are included, and why there's a gender restriction?

Excuse me.

Tetsuya stated that he is the best one who is not limited by gender.

What? Cheating?

What nonsense! That's slander!

Tetsuya is a man of unwavering integrity, and all his strength comes from his own efforts and those of the Pokémon.

How can you make up things that don't exist!

As for whether Cynthia can succeed.

Tetsuya felt that the small part of the "future" he saw was enough to answer the question.

Only this kind of rise to power can explain why Cynthia is so popular.

For trainers, overwhelming strength is the greatest motivation and reason for recognition.

It's unrealistic for dojo leaders to avoid fighting.

In fact, it would be more reasonable for them to take the initiative and fight back.

As the city's strongest fighting force, they don't want to slap themselves in the face.

To be cowardly before even engaging in battle is the behavior of a coward.

Trainers, however, are not cowards, they are all reckless.

"If we fail, we'll be laughed at for the rest of our lives."

Zheng Hui sighed.

Although Cynthia didn't say it outright, everyone now knows her purpose.

Even the distant United States and Carlos seemed to be paying attention.

In this situation, it's all or nothing.

If you fail on the path of the challenge, there will definitely be people who are happy to kick you when you're down.

"No, she will succeed."

Upon hearing this...

Tetsuya looked up and gave a faint reply.

This was the first time he had spoken up today in response to Zheng Hui's pointless question.

"So, you and she do know each other, don't you?"

Zheng Hui looked on with a gossipy expression. "Tell me, what's your relationship? How long have you known each other? How strong is the other person?"

"Let's go, it's time to set off. We need to reach Wise Lake tonight."

Tetsuya calmly extinguished the fire and then stood up.

Zheng Hui's face froze instantly.

"No, I've only been resting for a short while! Okay, I won't ask anymore, alright?"

He pleaded desperately.

He has a fire-type spirit.

However, in Tianguan Mountain, weak fire-type Pokémon have very limited effectiveness.

If you want to keep warm, you can only rely on Blaziken.

"It's been long enough. We can set off from Xuefeng City tomorrow and head upwards to find the Saffron Sea."

Tetsuya said this while holding up a simple map, completely ignoring what Masahiro was saying.

"No way! It'll freeze to death!"

On the snow-covered mountains.

Zheng Hui's wails didn't travel far before they were completely drowned out by the dense wind and snow and disappeared into the world.

Their figures soon blended into the white background.

Xuefeng City.

This is a city located at the northernmost tip of the Sinnoh region, which is covered in snow all year round.

The snow falling from the top of Tianguan Mountain keeps the temperature low all year round.

The Snow Peak Temple is the most famous attraction here.

Located at the northernmost tip of the city, it is said that the Holy Pillar King, who possesses the power to drag an entire continent, lies dormant beneath it.

Regigigas.

"Do you think this legend is true?"

Standing before the snow-white hall, Zheng Hui, who was heading towards the three regions including Shemi and Fila, once again fell into the unique thoughts of a researcher.

For trainers.

Whether Regigigas exists or not is actually quite simple.

If it exists, then subdue it;

If it doesn't exist, then get as far away from it as possible.

Everything else is completely unimportant.

Zhe didn't answer his question.

Because he really knew that.

Beneath our feet, a true first-class god truly slumbers.

Although...

The combat power of this first-level god is somewhat criticized.

But no matter what, the essence of a first-level god will not change.

The few pillars he casually created were all level two gods, which made him slightly stronger than Phoenix King.

The Three Sacred Beasts are third-level gods.

Of course.

As for the fighting, "Toilet King" knows what's going on and won't get involved, okay?

It is worth mentioning that.

Tetsuya received a warm welcome from Kosuke, the daughter of the owner of the Seihō Dojo.

It wasn't because the ice rocks he unearthed added a major tourist attraction and source of income to Snowpeak City.

Rather, it's because...

"Ah Li told me that as long as you come here, we'll make sure everything is taken care of."

Xiao Song patted her chest with an air of confidence.

Ah Li is the future headmaster of the Curtain Dojo, and he is currently studying under Ah Si at the Azure Dojo.

Tetsuya had met her once before.

He is indeed a genius in the fighting genre.

She and Xiaosong are very good friends.

Xiao Song also has outstanding potential.

The nickname "Ice Crystal Girl" wasn't given to her because of her parents.

Rather, it was the respect she earned through her performance at school.

"If possible, could you prepare a ship long enough for us to sail? We need to go to the Ranger Alliance."

Tetsuya didn't stand on ceremony with her either.

They're all considered family, inside and out.

"The Rangers' Alliance? What are you doing in a place like that?"

Xiao Song muttered, "Fine, this little request is no problem for my clever little brain."

Several phone calls were made.

The influence of local privileged second-generation rich kids is very powerful.

"The ship is already at the dock. Just give me my name."

She said casually, "Be careful on the road, it's still very dangerous over there."

Obviously.

She is the daughter of the gym leader of the northernmost city in Sinnoh.

Xiao Song also had some understanding of the situation further north.

"Okay, thank you so much. I'll treat you to dinner sometime."

He smiled and waved goodbye to Xiao Song.

Zhenghui chimed in, "Wow, you've got a wide circle of friends. And who's this Ah Li?"

Tetsuya helplessly covered his head.

Zhenghui is good at everything, except that his emotional intelligence has been replaced by his IQ.
