Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

"I know I know."

Tetsuya showed no embarrassment whatsoever. "It's just something I did along with."

"Cha cha cha"

Two Togekiss creatures that looked almost identical floated above each other's heads at some point and began nodding in unison.

"Come on, try this new energy cube, it's delicious!"

Tetsuya greeted Cynthia's Togekis with a smile.

"Just right"

Cynthia's Togekiss glanced at her own trainer.

Great, no objection means you agree.

It flapped its wings and buried itself in the food plate that Tetsuya had prepared for it.

Tetsuya's Togekis landed on the ground, patted its fellow creature in a very human-like manner, and then sighed.

Poor kid, you can't even wait to eat something. Has that woman been abusing you?

It was completely unaware of Cynthia's gaze.

That woman, who possesses superhuman strength, can read the minds of Pokémon.

Compared to the other elves.

The two Togekiss are just good friends.

After all, the two are about the same age and have similar strength levels.

Even Tetsuya's Togekis is slightly stronger.

At least it was nurtured for a few more months, and the food it consumed did have some effect.

Cynthia quickly gave up struggling.

Looking at the twenty or so noisy elves, even she felt a bit overwhelmed.

"It's good to let the little ones relax occasionally. Don't push them too hard; you're already very strong."

Zhe didn't even know when he had walked up to her.

She is, after all, just a girl in her early twenties.

Facing the upcoming important battle, Cynthia, who had never experienced anything like it before, was clearly nervous and at a loss.

This is probably why Dr. Yamanashi asked him to find something to distract the other person.

It was less about relaxing the elves and more about relaxing Cynthia.

Tetsuya completely forgot.

He was actually a tiny bit younger than Cynthia.

Cynthia understood what Tetsuya meant: "No wonder. I was wondering why Grandpa had been acting so strangely lately. It seems he contacted you?"

She is a very smart girl.

These things are easy to connect with a little thought.

Tetsuya shrugged noncommittally: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. You still have a lot to learn from me."

"Do you want to fight me again?"

Cynthia raised an eyebrow with a half-smile.

In the sunlight, her delicate face was full of playfulness, exuding charm.

Her slightly revealing outfit, chosen for her morning exercise, also showcased a beautiful figure.

Tetsuya's words caught in his throat for a moment.

Oh no, what do I do if this woman is a hundred times more beautiful?

He admitted that he is simply a person who is obsessed with good looks.

What are you doing?

Cynthia squinted her eyes subconsciously.

Tetsuya's gaze was so direct that even she, who was sometimes slow to react, quickly noticed it.

I think you're beautiful.

The words that came out of his mouth caused both of them to fall silent.

"Garuda! Draco Meteor!"

Cynthia's embarrassed and annoyed voice echoed in the courtyard.

Emperor Naboo, who was happily swimming in the pool, looked at the meteor shower rushing towards him from above, his mind filled with confusion.

God of creation behold, I didn't offend any spirits.

It's just a weak, almost-superstar level player; it's not that bad, really not that bad.

"boom--"

Filled with grief and indignation, Emperor Naboo slowly sank into the water.

"Glug glug"

"What's going on? It's so noisy so early in the morning."

Dr. Yamanashi came out yawning.

The experienced man keenly sensed that something was amiss.

"Weren't we supposed to be going to the Ranger Alliance headquarters? Let's get going."

His abrupt change of topic left the two young people somewhat incredulous.

Dr. Yamanashi doesn't care about any of that.

He would be quite happy if his granddaughter were dating a young man he liked.

The other level is not easy to pass.

At his urging.

After a quick breakfast, the three of them arrived at the Patrolmen's Alliance headquarters in northwestern Almia.

Judging from its appearance.

It looks like a rocket-like castle waiting to be launched, topped with a green tree.

A group of people, led by an old lady, were already waiting at the door.

Obviously.

This elderly lady is Xiao Cui, the founder and current chairperson of the Rangers Alliance.

"Welcome to the Ranger Alliance. Please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."

Chairwoman Xiao Cui, leaning on her cane, appeared very kind.

The negotiation process went exceptionally smoothly.

Faced with Cynthia's absolute power, the Ranger League had virtually no room for negotiation.

To put it bluntly, she could easily have taken on all the patrolmen on her own.

"So, this is our next target."

The floor of the conference room.

At Chairman Xiao Cui's signal, a detailed map of the Almia region slowly unfolded through the projection.

Her cane pointed in a direction.

The headquarters of the Angel Group, the tallest building in the Almia region, the Angel Tower, which stands at 334 meters high.

Chapter 626 The Battle of Lucario (Revised in two hours)

"Did they just attack their headquarters directly?"

Tetsuya was slightly startled.

The old lady in front of me has quite a violent temper.

Now, it's no secret that Angel Company is actually the Dark Team.

At least everyone present knew that.

It's likely that Prak Hall's grandfather, the founder of Angel Company, never imagined that his company and his descendants would come to this day.

"of course not."

Xiao Cui shook her head. "Before that, we need to take out the third crystal."

"The third crystal?"

Cynthia was somewhat confused.

No one had ever told her about this before.

Seeing this, Tetsuya quickly recounted the myth of "The King of Almia and His Three Princes".

"So, besides the Citrine of Cresselia and the Ruby of Heatran, there's also a Blue Crystal guarded by a Champion-level Lucario?"

Cynthia's eyes lit up immediately.

Tetsuya clearly sensed her fighting spirit from the bottom of her heart.

There's nothing we can do about it; Cynthia also has a Champion-level Lucario.

These kinds of sprites are already quite rare.

It is extremely difficult to find a worthy opponent of the same race.

"If necessary, I'll handle the negotiations."

Cynthia, of course, readily accepted this arduous task.

Anyway, for the Ranger Alliance

They were unable to communicate with Lucario on their own in a short period of time.

Cresselia and Shedran are both the result of time and gradual development.

Even the latter wasn't exactly successful; they were merely drawn out by Darkrai, and their relationship with him wasn't particularly significant.

"But hasn't the communication with Sidora been completed yet? And you've already obtained its red crystal?"

Tetsuya quickly noticed the problem and asked Chairwoman Shinozuki about it.

Xiao Cui smiled and nodded: "Taking advantage of the moment when it awoke from its slumber, one of our chief rangers successfully communicated with it."

The red and yellow crystals are up there now; you can go up and check if you're worried.

"above?"

Tetsuya and Cynthia exchanged a glance and immediately thought of the towering tree they had seen on the roof of the building outside.

They followed Shinobu up the stairs together with Dr. Yamanashi.

They then discovered that there was a hidden world inside.

Beneath the lush branches lies a technologically advanced experimental base.

Numerous researchers are busy with this.

But from the outside, you can't tell at all.

The red and yellow crystals lay quietly on an instrument in the center of the base.

The light it emitted calmed people's hearts without them even realizing it.

I habitually glanced at it with Zero.

Very well, still three question marks.
