Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

The little maggot let out a cry, looking a bit flustered.

Most wild Pokémon are not aggressive towards this genderless little creature made of inorganic matter, and it is rare for Pokémon to launch a sneak attack unless it deliberately causes trouble.

It's a little confused right now, its little head full of questions.

However, its body structure made it instinctively use all its strength to float.

The Magnemite's body has a round sphere in the middle with an eye on it, a horseshoe-shaped magnet on each side with opposite poles, and several screws.

All of these body parts can rotate freely.

Magnemite can use its left and right parts to emit electromagnetic waves to shield itself from gravity, thus levitating in the air.

However, when it is in a resting state, it is still on the ground. Just now, it was bound by the Snivy's Binding skill on the ground.

Sensing Magnemite struggling to break free of the vines, Snivy also struggled to maintain control.

"Hold on for two seconds, then release, and then use the vine whip to charge forward and use the impact," Tetsuya commanded.

The rattan snake nodded.

As the vines relaxed the next second, Magnemite's body shot upwards rapidly.

Snivy lunged forward, and while Magnemite was still adjusting its magnetic control, it used its vines to propel itself into the air and slammed into Magnemite.

"Kuoyi~"

Magnemite's body came into close contact with the tree behind it.

Its body emitted a bright yellow light, and a stream of electricity, after being charged up, flew towards the vine snake.

The Snivy watched this scene in a panic, somewhat at a loss.

"Whip, block it."

Upon hearing Tetsuya's voice, the Snivy instinctively held up its two vine whips to block the path in front of it.

The next moment, an electric current passed through the gaps in the vines and whips.

Snivy let out a soft cry. Fortunately, Electric-type damage is not high against Grass-types, and its HP is still acceptable.

The Magnemite was now floating unsteadily in mid-air. It was very angry and ready to teach the green sprite in front of it a lesson.

"Tie the vine whip to its magnetic connection point, then slam it to the ground."

Tetsuya quickly changed his command style and gave Tennis Snake a detailed breakdown of the steps.

This was also the first time he hadn't taught elves how to fight from a young age.

In the past, Tetsuya would start training his Pokémon's fighting habits shortly after they were born, and they could also understand commands very well, but Snivy was clearly not like that.

Snivy nodded, and its vine whips extended from both sides of its body, wrapping around Magnemite's left and right sides as Tetsuya commanded, before suddenly exerting force.

Magnemite was still fantasizing about gathering energy to unleash another electric shock on its opponent when the feeling of weightlessness immediately struck.

"Kuoyi~"

It cried out in alarm as a sharp pain shot through its body.

Snivy used its whip to lift and drop Magnemite repeatedly.

Soon, Magnemite lost its ability to fight, and its eyes turned into circles.

The mantle rock used sand and gravel to control an orange fruit and place it next to the Magnemite.

Tetsuya picked up Tennis Snake and patted its head: "Well done. I made a mistake in giving the command just now."

"Sugar candy."

Snivy squinted as it accepted the trainer's praise.

However, it also said that it was its own fault; if it had just hit the electric shock directly with the vine whip, there would have been no problem. It shouldn't have stupidly stood it horizontally in front of the electric shock.

"Mantle rock, let's continue."

Tetsuya fed Tengi a tangerine to restore its strength and then spoke to the mantle rock.

If you don't have enough teamwork, you can gradually improve it through commanding battles. Fight your way up to Fuchsia City, and that should be about right.

The mantle rock silently led the way; it had already found its next adversary.

What followed was a painful period for the weaker elves in the vicinity.

A human was directing a green snake to kill them one by one.

Some elves, after being provoked and defeated, were very unhappy and called their parents to confront the human.

The result was that the human released a Pidgeot, and the whole family was blown away.

The once quiet forest was now a scene of chaos, with chickens and dogs running rampant until the sun set, at which point tranquility returned.

............

Outside the city of Light Red.

Tetsuya gazed at the peaceful and serene city before him and took a deep breath.

The environment here is much better than the forest we just left.

He had already put away the mantle rock.

"Little one, you can rest soon."

The vine snake on the shoulder nodded listlessly. The afternoon's battle had exhausted it, not only physically but also mentally.

Tetsuya chuckled softly. Tennis Snake's talent was still very high, and their synergy had clearly improved during this period.

Snivy was already able to react quickly to his simplified commands.

Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center in Fuchsia City, we handed over Snivy and Mantle Rock to Nurse Joy for restoration.

Mantle rock also works very hard, after all, the sensory sprites expend a lot of energy.

"Ring ring ring"

The next moment, the door to the Pokémon Center was suddenly pushed open.

"Miss Joy, please restore my elf!"

A woman's voice came from inside.

Some trainers looked over in surprise, while others had already gotten used to it.

"Ah Xing, I've told you so many times, keep quiet at the Pokémon Center."

"I'm so frustrated," Joey said to the girl who was shouting.

"Hehe!" The girl named Ah Xing stuck out her tongue. "I'll know next time."

"When have you ever remembered anything?"

Another Nurse stood up and took the Poké Ball from Ah Xing's hand.

Zheye, standing beside him, suddenly widened his eyes in surprise.

"Okay, Sister Green, I'll definitely be more careful next time~"

Ah Xing tugged at Joey's arm and said coquettishly.

Joey tapped her forehead impatiently and led Chansey into the treatment room.

"What? Green Sister's hair is green, is that so strange?"

Ah-Xing, seeing Tetsuya's astonishment, knew exactly what he was thinking and asked him sharply.

"Um, this is indeed the first time I've seen this."

Tetsuya nodded honestly. That was what surprised him just now: the girl who went in, Joey, had green hair!

This is not rare even among the Joey group, it's practically unique.

"You're making a fuss over nothing."

Ah-Xing didn't explain to Tetsuya and turned to leave.

"That's just her personality, don't be angry. The green color is just because of her health."

Joey, standing to the side, also sighed helplessly as he spoke to Tetsuya.

"No, it was my rudeness," he apologized.

"That's normal, everyone is surprised to see green." The girls from the Joy family laughed, finding it a source of enjoyment outside of work.

Every trainer who has just arrived in Fuchsia City is bound to be shocked.

"Ah Xing, today is another day of hard training in order to become a gym leader."

Several trainers, who were clearly based in Fuchsia City, jokingly sat down next to A-Xing.

“Yes, that’s right.” Ah Xing proudly raised her head.

"Hey, do you guys know where that guy came from?" she asked the group of old acquaintances in front of her.

"That handsome young man? I don't know him, but he has a picture book. Do you have a crush on him?"

A middle-aged trainer teased Ah Xing, saying that he had watched the child grow up since he was a child, and now his own child was thinking about eating grass.

"No, I was just curious. Why don't you act like an adult?"

Ah Xing rolled her eyes at him, clearly annoyed.

"Hahahaha." Everyone around laughed.

Tetsuya, who was not far away, looked at them strangely. Are all the people in Asakusa City this easygoing?

Ah Xing asked quietly, and since the Pokémon Center was quite noisy, he didn't hear her very well.

"Hey! Handsome young man, want to come over and sit for a while?"

A man dressed like a typical trainer ignored A-Xing's attempts to stop him and beckoned to Tetsuya.

Chapter 147 The Scarlet Ninja

Tetsuya hesitated for a moment, then nodded and accepted the invitation, finding an empty seat near where A-Xing and her group were gathered.

"Hello, I am Tetsuya Tamaki from Tokiwa City, and I am currently traveling."

He first gave a brief introduction of himself.

"Iga." "Koga." "Kikichi."

Apart from Ah Xing, the other three people gave their names.

"Ah Xing, introduce yourself," the middle-aged man named Jiahe urged Ah Xing.

Ah Xing's earlobes turned slightly red; her fiery performance just now had made her a little shy. "I am Ah Xing! A ninja born in the modern world! My goal is to become a Poison-type Pokémon Master and defeat my brother to become the new Gym Leader of Fuchsia City!"

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward for a moment.

"Ahem." It was the same young man named Kiyoshi who had called Tetsuya over who started the conversation, "Tetsuya, you should be challenging the gyms, right? How many badges do you have now?"

“Four now.” Tetsuya took out his box of badges and showed it to the four of them.

"Wow! That's impressive! Pewter, Cerulean, Vermilion, and Rainbow—these are all very famous gyms!"

Several people sighed, these badges alone could demonstrate Tetsuya's strength; the difficulty of the Eighth Gym was subtly a level higher than that of the other gyms.

"Oh, no, I haven't even fought the Saffron City Gym."

Tetsuya gave a wry smile.

"That's normal. It's a Psychic-type, and the Goldenrod Gym is already known to be exceptionally difficult."

Hearing several of her acquaintances say this, Ah Xing was a little unhappy.

"What do you mean? Is our Fuchsia Gym worse than the Goldenrod Gym?"

The group smiled indulgently and quickly comforted her.

I almost forgot that this little darling can't stand it when others don't praise the Crimson Dojo.

Even at the Goldenrod Gym, where she was restraining her family-oriented nature, she was still very dissatisfied.

“My brother is definitely more powerful than that Naz!” Ah Xing said confidently.

The others quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "You're absolutely right."
