Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

In contrast.

Tetsuya, on the other hand, thinks Cynthia is better now.

"Alright, little guy, it's time for you to go find your friends."

Although she was also somewhat reluctant to leave, Cynthia remained determined to achieve her goal for the day.

She patted Fiona's head and gently persuaded her.

Masahiro and Tetsuya stood to the side, unable to get a word in edgewise.

They were like two strangers.

They exchanged a glance and shrugged helplessly.

"Boga"

Emperor Naboo idly played in the sand.

Its main task this time is to send Fiona out to sea.

Emperor Naboth had no objection to this.

Phiona's identity gives it a natural affinity for most water-type Pokémon.

Such a small thing would never be refused.

Fiona, on the contrary, was somewhat unhappy.

This little guy probably still doesn't have a good impression of Tetsuya, and he's also somewhat distant from his Pokémon.

Tetsuya was too lazy to correct its views.

Anyway, this poor kid is going to be sent away today.

I talked to them for about half an hour.

With tears welling up in her eyes, Fiona finally nodded and accepted the reality that she had to leave today.

He climbed the special crown of King Naboo, feeling dejected.

It curled its body into a ball.

"Boga"

Emperor Naboo put down the sand in his hand, casually greeted the trainer, and then leaped into the near sea.

The white waves obscured their destination.

"If you're still worried, go check it out again."

Tetsuya said this to Cynthia.

The latter hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Let's forget about it."

A faint smile graced her face: "That child should live in the sea; our lives are not suited to it."

If it is a divine beast or mythical beast that is dedicated to combat.

Cynthia would definitely make such a compatible elf her partner no matter what.

Even if it causes many consequences, it doesn't matter.

but.

Phiona's unique characteristics make it more suitable for the ocean.

The ocean needs it too.

"I've heard that during the season when the sea temperature rises, no matter how far a Fiona drifts, it will always return to its birthplace."

Zhe also casually remarked, "The environment in the Almia region is quite suitable for an occasional vacation."

"Yes, I think so too."

She put her long, golden hair, which had been tousled by the sea breeze, back into place.

Cynthia regained her composure: "It's about time we went back, otherwise some people will think I've given up."

Tetsuya, of course, knew what she was talking about.

During the time the other party disappeared, many people in the Sinnoh region expressed their doubts.

Some say that Cynthia lacks stamina and can't challenge all the gyms in one go, and that she's just trying to make a name for herself.

Some people say that even if Cynthia is strong enough to qualify to challenge Dai-Ye, she wouldn't be able to improve to the point of defeating Dai-Ye within a year.

In short, I'm not optimistic.

This is to be expected.

After all, Cynthia's path to the championship is very different from most regular regional championships.

It's perfectly normal that people have a lot of doubts about her.

However, in the world of Pokémon, strength speaks for itself.

Once you finally ascend to the champion's throne, everyone will obediently shut their mouths and express their admiration.

"No, that's not all. I bet many people will become her loyal fans."

Tetsuya smiled meaninglessly.

When it comes to popularity, Sinnoh champion Cynthia has never been afraid of anyone.

This is not just because she has a beautiful face.

Furthermore, it possesses abilities and a personality that match its face.

Not long after.

Put away the Emperor Naboo who had just given Fiona.

The three returned to Fengrao Town.

"All delivered?"

Dr. Yamanashi, who had been waiting there, inquired.

At first he didn't know, but so many days have passed, he couldn't possibly pretend to have poor eyesight and ignore it.

"Ah."

Cynthia nodded. "It's time to go back."

"Then, let's go."

Dr. Yamanashi put on his helmet and sat in the pilot's seat of the helicopter.

That's right, this old man is also an expert in driving all kinds of vehicles.

Cynthia, wearing a helmet, sat in the passenger seat.

After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Tetsuya.

"I hope that when I see you next time, you will be the Sinnoh Champion."

"I'll have to brag about it to everyone then."

Tetsuya smiled and waved, offering his blessings.

Cynthia paused for a moment, then smiled broadly: "It definitely will."

This was probably the first time she had revealed her determination to win the regional championship.

Zhenghui felt once again that he shouldn't be there.

Why do we keep making the same mistakes?

"Beep beep beep beep—"

The helicopter kept shrinking until it disappeared into the distant horizon.

"Let's go too."

Tetsuya called out to Masaki and set off on his journey back to Kanto.

With the help of the Ranger Alliance, they boarded a cargo ship bound for Cerulean City directly, saving themselves a lot of unnecessary trouble.

The journey was smooth and uneventful, without any unexpected incidents.

This even puzzled Zheng Hui: "It doesn't make sense. How come you, the troublemaker, have no trouble around you?"

Tetsuya rolled his eyes helplessly, too lazy to say anything to him.

After a four-day, three-night voyage.

The two finally set foot on the familiar land of Kanto.

"what--"

Take a deep breath and then let out a long sigh.

Zheng Hui sighed, "Indeed, although the environment in the Almia region is very good, the air in Kanto is still more comfortable."

A month and a half is not a long time.

So many things happened that he felt like he was in another world.

Tetsuya is the same.

However, he was more curious about what the passersby were saying.

"Hey, have you heard? It's time for another inspection tour, and it seems that Miss Joey from PIA will be visiting Hualan soon."

"Oh, isn't this a normal thing? Our Cerulean Dojo is one of the eight major dojos in Kanto. It's nothing."

"That's true. With Gym Leader Aqua Blue being so strong, and Cerulean Gym doing better and better in recent years, it's not our place to worry."

PIA.

Pokémon Inspection Bureau.

Responsible for supervising and evaluating dojos in various regions.

The Pokémon inspectors within the organization regularly visit and investigate the operations of gyms in various regions, and report the results to the Pokémon Inspection Bureau to discuss and decide on a course of action.

On the one hand, they will investigate whether the gyms comply with the Pokémon League's rules, and on the other hand, they will examine the content of the gym leaders' battles and their attitude towards challengers.

If a gym fails to meet the standards, it will be prohibited from awarding badges to trainers, and in severe cases, it may even be forced to close.

Most of the Pokémon prosecutors are Nurse Joy.

Although it's called a regular visit, the intervals between visits are actually quite long.

In Tetsuya's memory, the last time was when he was a child in this life.

However, given what Kona and Shiba said about the situation in Hoenn, it seems quite normal for them to conduct a tour in Kanto.

"Hey? Aren't you going home?"

Masahiro looked at Tetsuya, who was walking in the opposite direction from him, and asked a question.

"Oh, I'm meeting an old friend. You should go back now."

The latter waved his hand and said casually.

Zheng Hui looked thoughtfully in the direction he had left.

That place, I think, is the Bridge of Silence.

Chapter 636 Do you even know how prestigious the Joey family is? (Tactical lean back) (Revised in two hours)

Despite being a science and engineering guy who likes to stay at home.

However, Zheng Hui's grasp of directions is indeed quite good.

Tetsuya headed towards the Silent Bridge, which is Route 12 in the Kanto region.

That's a place where anglers gather.

Since fishing requires quiet, you can hardly hear anyone making unnecessary noise on Highway 12.

That's why it got its name, the Bridge of Silence.

of course.
