Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

But Tetsuya's voice seemed to have a magical power, making it unconsciously do as it pleased.

"boom--"

"Beep—"

The enormous roar and screams made the giant crab somewhat disbelieving the sensation coming from its claws.

Did... it hit?

Pidgey's feathers float on the water.

Kingler's powerful attacks, even though this was the first time it had truly hit Pidgeotto, inflicted an unbearable blow on it.

"Pipika!"

The challenger gasped.

Tetsuya crossed his arms: "The final lesson of this battle is to never let your guard down until the outcome is decided."

The voice just fell.

The exhausted giant crab lost its fighting ability as its eyes swirled.

If it has a strong desire to win, then it might be able to fight for a while longer.

However, this is clearly not very realistic.

Pidgey struggled to get up from the float.

Despite its extremely low condition, it has not completely lost its ability to fight.

The referee calmly raised his hand and announced the result: "King Crab is unable to battle, Pidgeot wins. The challenger is now to send out their second Pokémon."

"Then, it's you I've chosen."

Tetsuya casually tossed out the second Poké Ball.

He has already made a decision regarding whether the other party can obtain the badge.

This second battle was more of a formality.

What appeared in the water was a smaller, less desirable giant tongue clam.

With its full stamina, it managed to take away the barely alive Pidgey quite smoothly.

However, against the Grass/Poison type Bellsprout, Shellder was defeated and forced to retreat without any doubt.

"Well then, congratulations! This is the blue badge of Cerulean Dojo. We hope you continue to do well and achieve great results at the tournament."

The badges were awarded to the excited challengers.

Tetsuya went up to the spectator stands.

"I'm very familiar with the job."

Minglan praised, "It was definitely the right decision to have you do this."

Xiaoxia asked in confusion, "But if we had covered ourselves with bubbles or bubble beams just now, the Kingler Crab would never have lost."

The old man and the young man smiled at each other.

Tetsuya explained, "The purpose of gym battles and the meaning of badges have never been simply to pursue victory."

Sometimes, giving qualified new trainers a little confidence is essential.

"Purpose and significance? That's certainly a good understanding."

In a corner that none of the three noticed.

A man wearing a beige trench coat, a mask, and sunglasses, looking rather furtive, nodded upon hearing this.

"Let's go, we need to observe for a while longer."

She called out to the little red sprite floating beside her, which resembled a jet plane.

"Ah"

The red Pokémon obediently nodded.

He glanced at Tetsuya curiously, then left the scene with his trainer.

"Ok?"

Tetsuya looked around as if sensing something, but there was nothing there.

"what happened?"

Minglan followed Tetsuya's gaze and looked towards the corner, somewhat puzzled.

The latter shook his head: "It's nothing. I just felt like there was someone there just now. Maybe I was mistaken."

Although the possibility is slim.

But after more than a month of hard work, he might have been momentarily distracted.

Minglan was taken aback for a moment, then looked a little embarrassed: "It was my oversight. I should have let you rest for a few days before talking to you about this."

"It's okay, I'm not that weak."

Tetsuya waved his hand dismissively, "Since it's settled, I'll pack up and get ready to go to work tomorrow. Don't forget to pay me my salary, Grandpa."

"Hahahaha, that's for sure, you can rest assured."

Minglan let out a hearty laugh.

After greeting the old man and the young man, Tetsuya, feeling somewhat tired, was finally able to return home and get some rest.

"Beep—"

I had just lain down for a short while.

Pidgeot, which had escaped from its Poké Ball, unusually approached him and began to bark.

Tetsuya rolled his eyes in exasperation: "That thing isn't going to grow legs and run away by itself, can't you just let me rest for a bit?"

"Beep"

Pidgeot didn't care what he was saying and directly opened its spatial backpack with its mouth, trying to find the thing it wanted.

"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you, alright?"

Seeing this, in order to avoid a complete mess, Tetsuya had no choice but to get out of bed.

Throughout the process, he kept complaining: "Seriously, can't you be a little more considerate of your old father? My back is about to break."

As he spoke.

He then took out a glass marble with a yellow-red pattern inside.

Sensing the familiar presence, Pidgeot's eyes fixed intently.

"Lift your leg up a bit!"

Tetsuya patted Pidgeot's body in an annoyed tone and said with a laugh, "Otherwise, how am I supposed to put it on you?"

Upon hearing this, Pidgeot obediently raised its left foot.

It is firmly secured with special thread.

"Alright, go play by yourself."

Tetsuya waved his hand, then tried to continue lying down.

The next second, he felt a huge pulling force on the hem of his clothes, making it impossible for him to turn around.

It seems that this was expected.

With a sigh, Tetsuya looked at Pidgeot: "You really want to work me to death..."

"Beep"

Pidgeot nuzzled its head against the trainer's chest in a flattering manner. After all, it had to give it a try; otherwise, what was the point of carrying this thing around?

"Okay, okay..."

"Let's go to the yard; this place is too small."

There's nothing we can do; they're our own children, so we can only spoil them.

Tetsuya reluctantly led Pidgeot to the villa's courtyard.

A group of elves followed, chattering excitedly.

They knew very well what the glass marble was for.

Blaziken used this thing to pin Pidgeot to the ground and beat it to a pulp.

As for why there are two older brothers...

Well, it's mainly because strength and experience are two separate factors, not because Pidgeot got angry and beat up all the other members one by one.

That's right.

The Mega Stone that Tetsuya just put on Pidgeot is the one that belongs exclusively to Pidgeot.

This was one of the rewards he received from the Rangers' Union.

Zhe found it funny to think of the pained expressions on the faces of those high-ranking officials.

The acting was so fake.

Are Mega Stones rare?

The answer to this question is certain.

Let's not even mention that only a small number of Pokémon can Mega Evolve.

The sheer number of trainers and Pokémon in the world determines the extremely high value of items like Mega Stones, which can significantly boost strength with virtually no side effects.

but.

For the Ranger Alliance, which controls three regions.

Overall, the cost of giving up a Mega Stone is negligible.

None of their chief rangers have Pidgeot, so there is no issue of weakened combat power.

Tetsuya paid a huge price for this.

For example... he almost lost his life.

cough.

Although he knew that the actual danger was not that great, it was an indisputable fact that the slumber caused by Darkrai's dark hole eventually covered the entire Almia and even affected the Fire region.

Tetsuya isn't so noble as to jump out and say that what he did was just so-so, and that it didn't matter whether he was there or not.

Moreover.

Without him and Cynthia, the Ranger League might not have been able to resolve this matter smoothly, and the price they would have paid would have been even greater.

The alien visitor and the dragon in the ozone layer were not exactly pleasant types.

Zhe didn't ask what exactly Cynthia received.

It's nothing more than cooperation plus some other things.

This will greatly help her ascend to the Sinnoh Champion title.

but.

He didn't stand on ceremony at all with the higher-ups of the Ranger Alliance.

Pidgeot's Mega Stone + Rare Berry or Gallade's Mega Stone + Rare Berry.

These were the only two options he offered the other party.

Of course.

Due to the different requirements of the two types of Mega Stones.

Zhe also thoughtfully suggested that if the Ranger Alliance chose the latter option, the number of rare tree fruits could be reduced.

He still really hoped that the other party would make that choice.
