Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"Hu-hu-"

Their breathing quickened involuntarily.

Because of this sudden scene.

The oxygen density in the surrounding environment has become somewhat too low.

They had to increase their breathing rate to meet their body's needs.

fortunately.

The rangers are well prepared for harsh conditions in the wild.

They tacitly took out various devices and put them on.

The group recovered quickly.

"Which mythical beast is this??"

In the private channel of the headset.

Tetsuya's question was filled with helplessness.

The creature that could create this scene is undoubtedly a mythical beast.

While champion-level Pokémon can alter the environment to some extent, their impact is definitely not this large or exaggerated.

Let's do the math.

He had only been at the Ranger Alliance for a few days when he encountered four or five mythical beasts.

It is calculated based on area.

These two areas of the Ranger Alliance are truly "places of outstanding people and beautiful scenery".

Legendary or mythical Pokémon are everywhere.

"It's Sidson."

Seven, the only one who knew the inside story, said, "The battle between Darkrai and Cresselia fluctuated too much, and it awoke from its slumber beneath the volcano."

Could you please explain in more detail?

Tetsuya was slightly resistant: "As a trainer, I'd be happy to help you."

But that was based on mutual communication and trust between us.

If this keeps happening, I'm afraid I simply cannot continue.

Are you kidding me?

The Rangers Alliance did offer compensation, but it was far from enough to cover his risk of life.

Seven said that the upcoming Shedran is an ally.

But what if it isn't?

It's like the person who posts a bounty mission concealing the difficulty of the mission and lowering the reward.

This is breaking the rules.

"of course can."

Seven could certainly hear the dissatisfaction in Tetsuya's words.

If he put himself in the other person's shoes, he could understand their feelings very well.

"The dark crystal discovered by Angel Company, as well as the appearance of Cresselia and Sidora, are actually related to an ancient myth of our Almia."

The air temperature is constantly rising.

Seven recounted the whole story at a rapid pace: "A long, long time ago, Almia was the territory of a kingdom."

The kingdom's king and his three princes lived in a castle on the plateau.

The king was determined to keep the country at peace, but the three princes were constantly scheming against each other and vying for power.

As a result, the people suffered greatly.

Enraged, the king ordered all three princes to be banished.

A prince traveled to the southern desert;

Another prince traveled to the volcanic lands in the north;

The last prince was allowed to remain in the castle at the queen's request, but he was never able to step outside for the rest of his life.

As time went on, the king, who originally cherished peace, became increasingly irritable and increasingly eager to conquer everything.

Finally, one day, the entire Almia region was shrouded in endless darkness.

People say that it is the king's heart.

silence......

That's it?

Tetsuya asked incredulously.

“That’s it.” Seven was very calm. “No one remembers the rest of the legend; only this part has been passed down.”

Now, in the entire Almia region, besides myself, the professor, the president, and the principal, only three other elderly people know this story.

Tetsuya felt a sudden toothache.

Good guy.

Isn't this ancient myth a bit too casual?

It's supposed to be a myth, but the main characters are actually four humans, with no trace of mythical beasts.

"but."

Seven, panting heavily, spoke again: "Based on our years of exploration and research, we have also discovered several locations mentioned in the story."

These are the Hippopotamus Temple, the Volcanic Cave, and the Ancient City of Almia, corresponding to the destinations of the three princes.

Not only that.

We also found crystals there that were yellow, red, and blue.

Their two guardians are Cresselia and Seadra.

The last one is a Lucario with Champion-level strength.

"You mean... those three crystals were used by three princes in mythology to deal with their 'corrupted' king father?"

Is Darkrai considered an enemy by Cresselia and Heatran because he is the guardian of the Dark Crystal?

Despite having some reservations about Seven's narrative style, Tetsuya quickly grasped the general outline.

“That’s about it.” Seven nodded in affirmation. “Another chief ranger and I have been trying to communicate with the two legendary Pokémon, but so far only I have succeeded.”

Compared to Seadrane, who spends most of his time sleeping underground in the volcano.

Cresselia, with her gentler personality and preference for being out in the public eye, is indeed much easier to communicate with.

"Then how are you so sure that Sidran is definitely here to help us?"

Targa expressed his doubt.

Seven's tone was matter-of-fact: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend!"

Besides, the other chief ranger has been communicating with us for so long; surely he wouldn't just come up and attack us?

Tetsuya was silent for a moment, then looked at Tsuru: "Working with him must have been really tough for you other chief rangers."

"Actually, as long as Seven doesn't have an episode, he's still a very trustworthy partner."

He Fu's smile seemed somewhat forced.

Perhaps it's because every outstanding person has some quirks, more or less.

Seven's special quality lies in his personality, or rather, his thought process.

Sometimes he's a gentle and considerate older brother, sometimes he's a gift-giver who makes the two rangers jealous, and sometimes he can be a prankster who likes to use tank skunks to deal with enemies.

Compared to these.

The symptoms are still considered mild.

If it weren't for Miss Joey's examination showing that everything was normal, especially that there was no problem with her brain.

Seven had already been transferred to a special ward for treatment.

"The temperature is getting higher and higher, let's have the elves retreat first."

Tetsuya put forward his own ideas.

"Yes, conserve your strength just in case."

The composed Talga nodded. "Scizor, come back first!"

Scizor, with its Bug/Steel dual type, is great in every way except for its complete lack of resistance to Fire-type attacks.

Even if it is only affected by the attack of Sidora, it is very likely to lose its ability to fight and fall into a coma.

The ensuing psychological trauma was something Cresselia could not heal.

As for the fact that Sidson can distinguish friend from foe and won't attack his own people, just like what the Dream God is doing now.

Ok.

This is why Tetsuya finds Seven's thought process peculiar.

Looking at the wise eyes in the Sidson's encyclopedia, it's not hard to guess just how intelligent it is.

One researcher once proposed a hypothesis.

Seadra's brain was probably made of steel and melted by lava.

To put it simply...

Let alone competing with numerous mythical beasts in terms of intelligence.

Even compared to ordinary elves, Heatran's intelligence is only at a lower-middle level.

Therefore, don't have too much hope that it can quickly distinguish friend from foe.

This also corroborates the story about its origin.

Don't have too high expectations for life forms that are the fragments that fell from the powerful collision between Dialga and Palkia in ancient times.

Apart from strength, it is not fully developed in any other aspect.

Tetsuya and Tsurufuya then called back their companions.

Seven was somewhat reluctant, but he didn't resist, and the Röntgen cat quickly returned to his side.

Cresselia seemed to know something as well.

Although it was temporarily at a disadvantage without the help of the elves, its attacks became even more ferocious.

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

The sound of machinery churning echoed across the sea.

Seadrane floated up from the seabed, her entire body shrouded in white mist.

Cresselia silently bathed it in moonlight.

well.

Losing most of his stamina before even starting the battle was due to his old friend.

Feeling his physical condition improving, Sidran's eyes flickered.
