Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

The door was pushed open again.

Anli walked in from outside: "I've already asked Researcher Zheng Hui, and he's very supportive of it."

Her face was full of smiles.

However, Tetsuya couldn't help but think it looked like an aunt's smile.

“Researcher Zheng Hui and Elena had a very pleasant chat.”

The other person's next words made him realize what was going on.

He shook his head helplessly.

Zhe didn't know what to say.

However, it's only the first meeting, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Perhaps the two simply share similar interests.

If it really works out, then the top leaders of both alliances will be racking their brains about how to bring a future genius elf doctor to their side.

The three of them discussed the details of the plan again.

As the people in charge of this operation, they had a lot to consider.

Wind-swept forest.

Under Bolang's command, the patrolmen began a thorough sweep and investigation.

"Report, a vacuum cleaner has been found here."

"Report, a coffee machine has been found."

"Report, there's a heater."

The report coming through the earpiece left even the usually oblivious captain, Polang, speechless.

"We're checking for hazards, not picking up trash!"

"Oh well, they're all pretty much the same. It's one of our patrolmen's duties anyway, isn't it?"

The rangers chatted, but their hands never relaxed.

More than three hours have passed.

All the talents had finished their tasks and gathered in an open space.

Each person was accompanied by a strong elf carrying various things.

They looked at each other, their expressions growing even more serious.

"When did these guys set this up?"

Bolang looked at the dozen or so instruments in front of him, each a different color but all looking pretty much the same, and covered his head in exasperation.

He felt like he was going to get a severe scolding from his superiors this time.

As the captain of the patrol team in Fengrao Town, he was completely unaware of the potential dangers in the nearby forest and the secret teams that frequented it.

To put it bluntly, this is a serious dereliction of duty.

"This is the coffee machine, vacuum cleaner, and heater you were talking about??"

Of course.

Polang was more curious about how his subordinates' eyes were formed.

These things look exactly like mailboxes!

"Kairang, you stay here with them and wait. I'll go back and ask Professor Shinhara to come over."

Without hesitation.

Polang immediately issued the order.

With such a significant event occurring, he was unable to make a decision.

Bringing it back to Fengrao Town is obviously impossible.

With so many things involved, the commotion was enormous.

"understand!"

Kailang and the patrolmen bowed respectfully.

Despite not having graduated for long, he was the undisputed second-in-command of the team.

Even within the team.

He was considered the most promising candidate to become the chief ranger, not Polon.

"Everyone, spread out and maintain alert!"

"Swish"

At a command.

The rangers disappeared completely, hidden among the trees.

Bolang moved very quickly.

A strong physique does not hinder the actions of an excellent fighter.

Not long after.

Professor Shinhara, along with Tetsuya and Anri, hurriedly arrived here, following behind Bolang.

He raised his hand to stop Tetsuya, who was about to walk inside.

The three men took out their hunting harpoons from their pockets and struck different poses.

Bolang's most direct move was to pound his fists twice in front of his chest and then raise his left hand, which was holding the hunting dart, high, just like a boxer who had won a victory.

Professor Shinhara, on the other hand, manipulated the hunting glider to continuously rotate around his body;

Anli's was slightly more complicated; the hunting glider's path in the air actually traced the shape of a giant vine.

Tetsuya was stunned.

He knew that this must be the code among the rangers.

The first two are understandable, but isn't the last one a bit too strange and overly complicated?

as predicted.

Seeing the three people's movements, the rangers gradually emerged from the woods.

Professor Shinhara didn't say anything.

He stepped forward to observe each instrument.

"Sizzle—Bang!"

One after another, faint explosions rang out.

Professor Shinhara forcibly removed one dark crystal after another, each the size of a fingernail.

"Shouldn't we keep the equipment for research purposes?"

Tetsuya asked instinctively.

"Don't worry." Polang patted him on the back. "Elena will handle these things. She's a professional."

"Ah."

Professor Shinhara, his face grim, nodded. "Moreover, this instrument merely amplifies and diffuses the particles; its core function remains the fragments of these dark crystals."

"Is this what the Dark Team relies on to control wild spirits?"

The rangers' eyes gleamed with anger. "What a bunch of bastards."

For them, forcibly controlling the spirit is an act that is completely unforgivable.

"No wonder the elves of Windy Forest have become quite irritable lately; it turns out these devices are the culprits."

Anli seemed to be deep in thought.

"I'm so sorry! This happened because of my negligence..."

Bolang gritted his teeth and immediately prepared to step forward and take responsibility.

He had this idea for a long time.

Professor Shinhara waved his hand dismissively: "This is not your fault."

If it weren't for this forest fire, no one would have discovered their existence.

Just as the rangers who found them described.

These instruments are about the same size as common furniture.

It's just that the weight is a bit exaggerated.

Fighting-type Pokémon like Machoke can be picked up without any difficulty.

If it were patrolmen in good physical condition, it would take about 2-3 people.

Although it is somewhat inconvenient.

However, in the wild forest, this size and the manpower required are simply beyond the capacity of a small number of rangers.

"Alright, the focus now is not on discussing your mistakes, but on the next steps."

Professor Shinhara waved his hand, successfully stopping Bolang from continuing to speak.

That's just his personality.

It is precisely because he is very responsible that he became the captain of the patrol team.

"Kairang, go to the Frosty Research Camp and transfer Mia and Rayle, two patrolmen, to Harbor Town."

"Li Kua, go to the remote desert and dispatch three patrolmen, Banping, Yajiang, and Hexi, to Gangbo Town."

"Qizhi, go..."

After assigning tasks to nearly ten rangers in one go, Professor Shinhara finally looked at Anri.

Anri knew exactly what she had to do, as they had discussed before: "Leave the notifications to Talga, Seven, and Hefu to me. The remaining chief rangers need to be stationed in their respective areas just in case."

"Now, let's go!"

"Yes!"

Without needing to say much, the tacit understanding between the patrolmen stirred up everyone's passion.

The Ranger Alliance hasn't gathered so many powerful individuals in a long time.

Let's not even talk about the three chief rangers.

The individuals Professor Shinhara selected were all elites from their respective teams.

Even if they didn't know them personally, everyone had heard of their deeds.

This means that something big is definitely going to happen next.

This is only natural.

What kind of place is Fengrao Forest?

This is the training ground for trainee rangers.

The Dark Team's actions are tantamount to directly undermining the Ranger Alliance.

Without the addition of fresh blood, or even just a gap of two or three generations, the Ranger Alliance, which has not been established for very long, cannot withstand such losses.

"Wasn't that too much noise?"

Tetsuya was a little uneasy; there hadn't been any talk of using so many people from different places.

"Don't worry, this is Fengrao Town."

The ranger base in Almia is located here, so personnel movement is quite normal.

Besides, the rangers don't spend much time in town anyway, so no one would notice if they disappeared for a day or two.

Anli said knowingly, "Not to mention other places, they're in the wild, and only our own people know their locations."

"Okay." Tetsuya indicated that being a pure henchman suited him best here. "So, shall we leave tomorrow?"
