Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"Hey, what's going on? Wasn't it active some time ago? Why did it happen again this time so soon?" A man dressed as a standard trainer complained while listening to the radio on the roadside.

He also planned to go up there to see if he could be lucky enough to find any rare elves living in the volcano.

"Hey, forget it, it's just right. Let's go shopping at the handicraft store today. I haven't had enough of it yet!"

The female companion beside him seemed very happy.

"I have no choice but to do this." The man's listlessness was visible to the naked eye.

His female companion smiled and whispered something into his ear. Immediately, the man seemed to have been given a shot of blood, "GOGOGO! Today's goal is to visit every store in Honglian Town.

A craft store!”

Witnessing all this, Zheye took a hard bite of the specialty fruit from Honglian Island in his hand, "Boss, your fruit is a bit sour."

"Hey, young man, the one you are eating is spicy." The boss' expression remained unchanged.

Zhe also fled in despair.

The boss picked up the same kind of fruit that Zheya had just eaten and took a bite. "This year's fruit seems to be a bit sour."

Tetsuya walked helplessly in Honglian Town. This sudden notice not only ruined the male trainer's plan, but also ruined his purpose.

There are many trainers like him.

But no one really dares to risk the risk of a volcanic eruption to continue exploring. After all, the official warning has been given, and everyone still cherishes their own lives.

Zhe also made the call.

"Hello? Tetsuya? What do you need from me? Did you help me find the materials I wanted?"

On the other end of the phone, a strange female voice came.

"Sister Hamana, I may not be able to help you find anything. The Red Lotus Volcano here seems to be showing signs of activity again and is about to erupt. It has been officially closed for a month."

Tetsuya explained to the woman on the other end of the phone, and then decisively moved his head away.

"Ahhhhh, it's like this every time, why!! Why am I so unlucky!!"

Sure enough, the phone on the other end was silent for a while, then screamed like a groundhog.

The people around him looked at this handsome boy with more or less strange eyes. Tetsuya smiled apologetically and went to a secluded place to continue talking on the phone.

"Hamana-san, calm down." He persuaded her nicely.

"Uuuuuu, Xiao Zheya, how can you keep me calm? I just want to find materials to prove my thesis. This is the third time. This happens every time I look for someone to go to Honglian Mountain.

What a misfortune!"

The woman whom Tetsuya called Hamana-san wailed.

It could be barely heard from her words that the other person was a researcher.

"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. You can also ask people to go look for it at Chimney Mountain. Isn't that also an active volcano?"

Tetsuya said he was helpless, but he came up with another plan. Since he was looking for materials that could only be found in volcanoes, Chimney Mountain in the Hoenn region must also be suitable.

"Do you know how expensive it is to release a Hoenn mission in Kanto? I have been doing research with Dr. Yamanashi for so long, and my net worth is not as rich as yours, Kotetsuya.

How about you take care of me, sister, and support me in doing some research."

The woman on the other end of the phone quickly calmed down. She was used to it, and it made her sad just thinking about it. She teased Tetsuya in a colorful way.

Anyway, the other party couldn't see it, so Tetsuya rolled his eyes and said rudely: "Sister Hamana, you are almost one year older than me. This is not okay. If you are a little over 20 years old, then I can accept it."

The woman opposite seemed to have been hit hard: "You, Hamana-san, are only 29 this year, okay? Why is 29 not in her early 20s?!"

"Ha, is that ore really only found near volcanoes?" Tetsuya immediately changed the topic. It's better not to discuss the woman's age too much, otherwise he will be beaten when he goes back.

"That's right, it's not near the volcano. To be precise, it's inside the volcano crater that there are occasional yields. It's very hard to find." Hamana sighed on the other side.

"By the way, won't the institute reimburse the funds for this kind of thing? Or help you find resources or something."

Zhe also walked on the road and chatted with her.

"Reimbursement, this is not the reward I originally planned to give you, but it is limited. It is definitely unrealistic to go to Fengyuan.

As for resources, the Red Lotus Gym itself has the Red Lotus Research Institute. As an outsider, I have to queue up if I want to get the resources, and it will take half a year to start. Isn’t this a two-pronged approach?"

Hamana said helplessly, "It's really strange to say that for the first fifty years, there was no movement at Guren Volcano, but it has become more and more active since last year.

Not only are the time intervals getting shorter each time, but the fluctuations are also getting bigger and bigger, otherwise I would have gotten the materials long ago."

Tetsuya listened to Hamana's complaints and his heart moved. He remembered that the Red Lotus Gym was moved to the Twin Islands in the future, which was also the reason for the volcanic eruption.

"Honglian Volcano is an active volcano after all. It may erupt soon."

He said intentionally or unintentionally.

"It's indeed possible. After all, it's not without precedent. It's okay. The alliance will solve such big things." Hamana didn't seem to care at all.

"Yes." Zheye paused, "Speaking of which, I know Master Xia Bo's disciple. I'll find some time to help you ask about that material."

"Ah!! I love you so much, Tetsuya, oh, you're awesome!" Hamana didn't expect that the little brother on the opposite side of the road would give him such a surprise. He is worthy of being the future face of this generation of alliances as his teacher said.

Zheya suddenly felt that he was unclean.

After saying a few words quickly, he hung up the phone.

Materials were a trivial matter, and Hamana happened to need help, so he naturally didn't mind mentioning it to Kajiyama.

It was the volcanic eruption that interested him.

Whether it is based on what Hamana said just now or the exchanges between tourists and locals along the way, this information reveals signs of a volcanic eruption.

But judging from his memory, it would take about eight or nine years before the volcano would really erupt and even destroy the Red Lotus Gym.

So the question arises, is it possible for a volcano to erupt with signs eight or nine years in advance?

Zhe also said that this somewhat involved his knowledge blind spot, but it was impossible to do it so far in advance.

While Tetsuya was on the phone with Hamana, they were in the crater of Guren Crater.

Xia Bo, who was originally supposed to be still in the Red Lotus Gym, appeared here, his face changed from his usual lively look, and he looked particularly serious.

There was dense sweat on my forehead due to the rush and the high temperature nearby.

"Yeah, so it's really going to break out."

Xia Bo's words were full of helplessness. No matter how strong he was, he and his elves could not resist such a natural disaster. Even if they were an alliance, it would be difficult to guarantee a 100% success rate.

The natural disasters in the elven world, whether they are volcanic eruptions, tsunamis or typhoons, are more violent than those in Tetsuya's previous life. This may also be due to the existence of elves and their attribute energy.

The unknown elf in front of him called out in the darkness and responded to him.

"Thank you very much. I will try my best to move the location of the gym here to monitor the volcanic activity at all times. During this period, let the platypus stay here. If anything happens, it will notify me quickly.

of."

Uncle Xia nodded clearly and said to his old friend in front of him, "I hope I didn't disturb you."

"Chi!" came the chirping of birds.

Xia Bo smiled and said: "Of course I know you are also willing to protect humans, but no matter what, I still want to thank you."

At the same time, the worry in his eyes has not diminished at all, "According to your estimate, to what extent can it be alleviated?"

The bird spirit screamed in a low voice, and from time to time, Xia Bo nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Unblocking it, that would be great, but you still have to prepare in advance." He sighed.

The bird elf also nodded slowly.

"Then, old man, you can stay here during this time."

Xia Bo threw the elf ball of his initial elf.

A burst of red light flashed, and a red and yellow elf with a duck's beak that looked like burning fire jumped into the lava.

This is a duck-billed fire dragon with a body temperature as high as 1,200 degrees. The hotter the place, the more energetic it becomes. For it, magma is like a swimming pool for people.

"I'm going to get ready." Xia Bo nodded towards the bird spirit in the darkness, turned and left.

Looking at Xia Bo's disappearing figure, the hidden elf slowly emerged from the darkness.

Part of its body gradually ignited flames, illuminating the surrounding area with incomparable light. Even in the crater, if people were here, they would instantly feel the temperature rising further.

Under the light, you can see that it has red feathers, with flames on the back of its wings, a straight and pointed beak, and an almost brown skin color.

Even the long streamlined crown and flaming tail seem to be made of flames.

It is the legendary elf, the Flame Bird.

"Bah!"

It screamed and plunged into the bubbling magma, followed closely by the platypus.

In the crater, it returned to a dead silence.

Naturally, Tetsuya didn't know the story of Xia Bo and the Flame Bird, and was still thinking hard about the situation of the volcano eruption.

But after a long time, I had no clue, so I had no choice but to give up.

Returning to his hot spring hotel, Tetsuya continued to soak in the hot springs. This is one of the great enjoyments in the world.

He squinted his eyes and thought.

"drop-"

The waterproof watch beeped softly, and Zheya clicked it on.
