Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Thinking about it, those Gyarados might have been coming for him, but they just happened to run into Kingdra and his group.

The idea of ​​starting a shipping company has been completely abandoned.

The allure of this "Tang Monk's flesh" is so strong that it would probably scare people to death if word got out.

fortunately.

As time passed, the distant horizon and the faint outline of islands and land came into view.

Unlike the small or even tiny islands we saw along the way.

This time, it's a large island.

In the Fire region, on Summer Island, preparations are underway to receive guests.

Chapter 602 A Noble's Request (Revised in one hour)

Compared to the four regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.

The area of ​​the Fire region is not large.

Mountains even occupy most of the area.

Among the few plains, the four towns representing the four seasons are undoubtedly the most famous.

Spring arrives, summer spreads, autumn dew falls, winter welcomes.

If it weren't for the fact that the natural landscape of the Phile region is too intact, and the Ranger Alliance hasn't opened up safe roads similar to those in other areas, it would be a different story.

With their unique features, these four towns have long been world-renowned tourist destinations.

but.

In recent years, Summerman Island has served as a bridgehead for the Ranger Alliance to communicate with the outside world in the Fire region.

The development model is indeed moving in this direction.

There's no way around it; the Rangers Alliance needs to make a living too.

Whether it's training new rangers, reassuring veteran rangers, or producing a large number of hunting buoys, all of these require a strong economic foundation.

While the Pokémon League's support is reliable, it's not a long-term solution.

Please stop here.

At the dock, an enthusiastic sailor was directing Tetsuya to moor his boat.

"You two are trainers from Kanto, right? Please show your identification cards."

He smiled and took out a piece of equipment as the two people disembarked.

Before coming, Tetsuya and Masaki had learned the rules, so naturally they wouldn't refuse to cooperate.

The appearance of the two Pokémon Pokédex entries undoubtedly made the sailor's smile even more genuine.

"Thank you both very much! You are also welcome to visit the Fire region."

If you have any questions, you can ask Nurse Joy at the Pokémon Center in the center.

That's right.

She's back again, from a family that's indispensable in the world of elves.

It's not just Joy and their Pokémon Center.

Even in the Philae district, where patrol officers are the main force, Miss Officer Jenny and their police station are indispensable members and buildings.

To this day, the exact number of people in these two families remains a mystery.

They probably don't even know it themselves.

After paying the monthly docking fee to the kind and friendly sailor, the two readily headed to the Pokémon Center.

Upon hearing Tetsuya and Masahiro's purpose for coming, Miss Joey from the center smiled and handed them a booklet.

"This document records most of the situation in the Fire region."

Of course, this is for reference only.

She stated, "The wild in the Philae region is changing so rapidly that the rangers who created this could not update it in real time."

"Do you have any in the Armia region? That's where we mainly want to go this time."

Zheng Hui flipped through the booklet, then looked up and asked.

Miss Joey looked troubled: "No, we don't have that."

The Almia region is the core area of ​​the Ranger League and is currently not open to trainers from outside the region.

Let alone a brochure introducing the situation.

During this period, even entering the Armia region was a very difficult task for ordinary people.

Unless it's illegal immigration.

"I see. Then it seems we'll have to go to Fengrao Town to ask."

The two exchanged a helpless glance.

"The border between Almia and Fire is located in the northeast of Summerman Island. You can rest in Autumn Dew City first."

Miss Joey thoughtfully made arrangements for them.

With her family as her backing, she was naturally well aware of the identities and achievements of the two people in front of her.

For these two, qualifying for entry was not a problem at all.

"However, the regular ferry service for today has ended, and the earliest ferry will depart at 8:00 AM tomorrow."

If you're going to Autumn Dew City today, I'm afraid you'll have to rely on your own Pokémon.

She checked the computer and looked disappointed.

What do you think?

Tetsuya looked at Masaki.

If it's just him alone, then of course there's not much to say.

Debt-free and carefree, you can take off right from the spot.

With Pidgeot and Togekiss around, there's absolutely no need to worry about encountering any powerful Pokémon that you can't handle.

If all else fails, just run away.

But having Zhenghui as an employer makes all the difference.

Being distracted by taking care of the other person has consequences far beyond simply losing a combatant.

To be on the safe side, it's probably safer to take the land or water route and wait a day.

"It's only just past noon... Are we going to have to wait for ages?"

Zheng Hui hesitated for a moment.

They do indeed have their own ships.

Unfortunately, there is no dock open to the public in Qiulu City.

Aside from the ships that regularly travel to and from Summerman Island, it does not accept any other vessels to dock.

This is really a headache.

"Actually, there are other ways."

Seeing the two deep in thought, Miss Joey thought for a moment and then spoke up, "I know a noble family whose ships can sail directly to the Autumn Dew City docks."

However, that family isn't easy to talk to.

"It's alright, let's go talk to them, every little bit of time we can save is a bit."

Zhenghui immediately took over the conversation.

Miss Joey nodded: "Alright then, here is their address and contact information. I hope you succeed."

As she spoke, she handed over a piece of paper.

Thank you, Joey.

The two searched all the way on Xiaman Island according to the information on the paper.

They finally found their target when they were very close to the jungle outside the eastern part of the city.

"This family really has a lot of nerve."

This is Tetsuya's assessment of the situation.

Compared to his previous house in Tokiwa City, this so-called "aristocrat's" residence was located in a more remote area.

It's also more dangerous.

It's no exaggeration to say that...

If the jungle spirits rush out to attack the city, then this location will definitely be the front line of the war.

but.

The castle-like house still exudes a sense of history and luxury.

"dong dong"

Zheng Hui's actions were very direct.

He went up and knocked on the door.

This area doesn't even have a doorbell; it's far behind the outside world.

A few minutes passed.

The castle was completely silent, as if no one had heard anything.

"Boom boom boom!"

Zhenghui pounded on the door with even more force.

Tetsuya quickly stopped him: "We're here to borrow the boat, don't do this."

"They won't come out unless we do it this way."

Zhenghui shrugged.

Doesn't he know that this isn't the way to ask for favors?

The key point is that, as Miss Joey herself said, this family is not easy to talk to.

The fact that Joey would make such a comment speaks volumes about the person's character.

It's better to use force than to be polite and courteous.

"Too."

Tetsuya paused for a moment, then nodded after thinking about it.

His attitude towards things is quite different from Zheng Hui's.

This is an inevitable result of their respective upbringing.

As for which one is better...

We'll just have to wait and see how it goes.

Seeing that Zhe had been persuaded by himself and no longer stopped him, Zheng Hui continued to "knock" on the door vigorously.

The enormous sound echoed for a full three minutes.

Tetsuya was a little worried that the nearby spirits might hear the commotion and come to investigate.

He silently released a Blaziken to guard him.

His ears twitched slightly.

"Someone's here."

Tetsuya's words finally made Masahiro stop what he was doing.

"Squeak-"
