Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Otherwise, Tetsuya would still be somewhat uneasy without such a powerful fighting force.

"Pidgeot, destination: Pewter City, depart immediately!"

Looking at the distant, indistinct mountains in the west, Tetsuya felt a heavy weight in his heart.

"Beep—"

A week later, the sharp bird calls rang out again over Cerulean City.

People had clearly not forgotten what had happened before, and they looked up with great curiosity.

But this time...

Miss Joey did not show up.

There were even many similar bird calls and figures appearing in the sky.

"Something terrible has happened—"

This was everyone's first reaction.

Unless the situation is particularly serious, such a "view" will not appear in the sky above the city.

"Please do not panic, residents. Stay home and prepare for defense for the next period of time."

Miss Officer Jenny's voice was broadcast over the city radio.

This actually calmed down many of the panicked people.

Although not everyone can become an excellent trainer.

But in this dangerous world, everyone has their own spirit companion.

When danger strikes, at least they are not powerless.

Moreover.

Even if the sky falls, there are always tall people to hold it up.

In the history of the Alliance, there is no record of a large city like Cerulean City disappearing.

At the police station.

The Officers were organizing their tasks in a seemingly chaotic yet orderly manner.

The phone rang incessantly.

You can even see many Miss Joey coming to help.

The two cornerstone families of the Elf League are no joke.

at the same time.

Within the city of Tokiwa, which is some distance away.

"Boss! According to our informant, a massive collapse is imminent at Mount Tsukimi. The Alliance has already prepared a contingency plan and begun taking action."

Manori, abandoning his usual composed demeanor, pushed open the door to Sakaki's office.

"Meow--"

The cat boss, lying on the ground, felt a sudden tightness in his scalp.

The large hand covering it suddenly became unusually powerful.

Sakaki turned his chair around and placed his hands on the table, crossing them: "I understand."

"If there's nothing else, you may leave now."

"Can......."

Makoto was a little confused as to why Sakaki was so calm.

Logically speaking, this should be a great opportunity for the Rockets to make their moves.

"I have my own plans, go down."

Sakaki's unquestionable voice echoed in the room.

The bird quickly regained its composure, bowed respectfully, and left.

"How about it?"

The excited cadres had already gathered at a corner not far away, eager to get started.

"Who gave you permission to surround this place?"

Zhenniao's expression darkened: "Everyone back to your positions and do your jobs."

"True Bird Matrix, put these people's recent work reports in my office!"

In the dark corner, a few shadows could be vaguely seen flickering.

As Team Rocket's elite force, the True Bird Matrix's duties extend far beyond combat.

The cadres' expressions changed drastically, and without saying a word, they turned and ran.

At this point, the most we can do is find a few typical birds to mess with.

If they still don't realize it...

Many lessons learned from the mistakes of our predecessors are already there.

just.

Like Makoto, they didn't quite understand Sakaki's thoughts.

In Sakaki's private office.

Under the dim light, the Rockets' star player's face was half black and half white.

Is something wrong?

Sakaki slowly closed his eyes, pondering his recent actions. "How did those Interpol agents get their eyes on me?"

A gloomy atmosphere enveloped the entire body.

He knew all too well that this was not the right time to confront the alliance head-on.

Even if one possesses Mewtwo, the same applies.

According to Sakaki's plan, his identity should be able to remain hidden for at least another three to five years.

The attention he's been getting lately around the Tokiwa Dojo has forced him to put many of his plans on hold.

His fingers tapped incessantly on the table.

"What do you think I should do?"

He seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps asking someone a question.

The elf in the corner, clad in specially made armor, remained motionless, like a statue.

"Boom!"

Residents of Nibi City suddenly heard the sound of thunder.

Looking up at the bright, sunny sky, they all felt something was off.

Until someone noticed the high mountain not far away.

His pupils contracted sharply: "Look! Tsukimiyama... Tsukimiyama!"

His lips trembled as they touched, and his voice became distorted.

Following the other person's voice and gaze, I looked into the distance.

People stood frozen in place.

The mountain peaks that should have been towering into the clouds were visibly "falling" down little by little.

The ground tremors finally arrived, albeit belatedly.

Many people were unable to stand and collapsed to the ground.

"Heavens! Is the Earth God punishing us?"

Don't be surprised.

There are many humans in every region who believe in the power of mythical beasts.

Even in the Kanto region, there are people who worship Groudon.

"Waaah~~"

The sirens blared across the sky above Nibi City.

Many trainers, dressed in uniforms, began maintaining order under the command of Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

A room in the Pewter Dojo.

"Brother, you go ahead and get busy. I can handle things here."

Jiro nodded to Xiaogang, appearing unusually calm.

Brock patted his younger brother on the shoulder without saying a word, then walked out with a few Poké Balls.

The other younger siblings seemed to understand the seriousness of the situation, and they were all very well-behaved.

"Please, please, nothing bad should happen..."

Jiro closed his eyes and prayed.

The foot of Mount Tsukimi is near the exit of Nibi City.

The once relatively smooth road has completely disappeared.

Instead, there were countless mounds of earth and rubble.

"This time, our Pewter Gym and Pewter City are going to suffer a major blow."

Standing in the center, the white-haired Wu Po sighed, his eyes filled with sorrow.

Nibi City has developed into what it is today.

While the efforts of generations are undoubtedly essential to its development, the surrounding environment is the fundamental reason.

If it weren't for the abundant resources of Mount Tsukimi, given Nibi City's geographical location, it would be difficult for it to develop any industries with its own unique characteristics.

If the stone city extending to the foot of the massive rocky mountain were to lose that rocky mountain, would it still be the stone city?

Wu Neng and Ge Hao, standing to the side, remained silent.

Even Elite Four level trainers can't change anything in the face of the power of nature.

The three of them, along with their respective ace Pokémon, stood there.

The spirits that escaped from Mt. Tsukimi strangely ignored them, bypassing their position and charging towards Pewter City behind them.

"Boom-"

A dull, earth-shaking sound rang out.

Gravel on the ground kept rising and falling.

A colossal beast, its body gleaming with a silvery-white metallic sheen, slowly emerged.

As one of the largest rocky mountains in the Kanto region, Mt. Tsukimi is home to many powerful spirits.

They don't usually appear in front of humans.

But when their home is destroyed, these elves will naturally unleash their fury upon humans.

With its bloodshot eyes, Aggron exudes a terrifying aura.

"A potential champion...?"

Wu Neng raised his head. "Bangiras, it's yours now."

"class--"

The quasi-god, whose entire body was covered in hard green armor, let out a loud roar.

An aura no less imposing than that of Aggron in front of him surged forth.

The two giant beasts unleashed astonishing speed and instantly began to wrestle.

Even the aftershocks of the exaggerated force destroyed nearby mounds one after another.
