Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

In the underground cave.

Athena's right hand is covered with a thick piece of ice.

"Pa"

She casually swung it to the rock wall next to her, easily breaking the ice on her hand.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that you can actually command Frozen Bird."

Athena clicked her tongue in surprise.

"Then I shouldn't call you Ice King anymore. How about the title of Divine Beast Envoy?"

She joked about the woman in front of her who had the same hair color as herself. If it weren't for the problem of concept, maybe their relationship would still be good.

Kona looked at her coldly.

"Hey, don't be so serious." Athena smiled and wiped away the liquid on her forehead that was probably sweat or something else.

The scene before me was very strange.

In the originally snow-white underground caves of Twin Islands, the two sides were clearly separated by their locations.

One side is still white, but the other side has turned into the rocky appearance of a normal cave, with heat still rising.

"Overlord flower, sunny day; lava snail, hot wind."

While "exchanging pleasantries", Athena also directed her elves to attack.

It was obvious that the temperature was higher where she was.

"Frostbird, hail; Laplace, wave of water."

Kona responded skillfully.

The hailstone light ball that changed the weather collided with the sunny light ball that also changed the weather.

There is no doubt that the former was fully suppressed, and the latter could not even last two seconds.

But as the hail ball of light crossed the dividing line between ice and rock, it disappeared not long after.

The same is true for water waves and hot winds.

Although they are both trump cards, there is still a gap in strength between Kona's Lapras and Athena's Lava Snail, not to mention that water can defeat fire.

The huge water curtain formed by the water fluctuations directly dispersed the fiery red hot wind.

Once across the dividing line, the water curtain turned directly into water vapor, causing no harm at all.

Kona frowned and looked at a strange instrument at the back of Team Rocket.

It was that thing that transformed the environment into what it was, and also made her, who had the absolute upper hand in strength, be dragged down by the group of people in front of her.

"niu~"

A Mahuola broke out of the ground and sneaked near the instrument, trying to destroy it.

However, a group of Team Rockets and elves guarding the instrument were extremely vigilant. The moment it appeared, seven or eight attacks attacked it without any mercy.

Mahuola was not an elf that was good at defense. He fainted in the next second and even suffered more damage.

The dark gray body was faintly glowing with the same color of blood as the feathers.

"Hey~"

The frozen bird screamed angrily.

After living on the Twin Islands for so many years, not only the elves regard it as its patron saint, but it also regards these elves as its own people.

Kona patted the wings of the frozen bird to signal it not to be excited.

"So, you used this thing to hurt the frozen bird before." Kona spoke for the first time in such a long battle, and his attitude was very sharp.

Although I have doubts, I am convinced.

"Yes, yes, it took us a lot of energy to transport this thing." Athena was still smiling, and the curvature of her mouth was extremely exaggerated.

"The St. Ann? The St. Flowers? The Flow? The Jaccolola? The Flame Horse? The Breaker?"

Kona's mouth spit out the names of a series of famous cruise ships.

"Hey, hey, don't play this trick anymore. We have fought each other several times. Don't use the same move a second time."

Athena remained unmoved and responded to Kona's temptation while maintaining a smile.

"First the water flow and then the sea flame horse horn."

Kona answered the question and muttered to himself.

Athena narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling very unhappy. What she hated most was the arrogant attitude of these guys from the Alliance who were all strategizing.

The key point is that she obviously thought she was hiding her psychological fluctuations very well, so why was she still guessed by Kona?

This was the point she was most dissatisfied with.

Kona wore glasses and could clearly see that the instrument was covered with various materials.

Fire stones, blazing rocks, fire gems...all are items that have an effect on increasing fire energy and fire spirits.

If calculated based on pure market value, these large quantities of materials alone would cost nearly ten digits of alliance coins.

But these are obviously just auxiliary functions. At least Kona has never heard that mixing these things together can suppress the mythical beasts.

Her eyes moved again to the red square rock that was firmly fixed in the middle of the instrument.

"Sidoran?"

The name was the first thing that came to her mind.

This seems to be the only fire-type legendary Pokémon in the Sinnoh region.

But something is wrong, Kona was confused and commanded Frozen Bird and his elves to defeat another attack from Team Rocket.

Sydoran is definitely not that strong. It is just a living form formed from the fragments that fell from the powerful collision between Dialga, the God of Time, and Palkia, the God of Space in ancient times.

Even if it is stronger than the Frozen Bird, its strength is limited.

It's completely impossible to be like this.

Kona watched as the frozen bird flapped its wings and blew the fine snow that turned into mist again, which made him feel very dizzy.

"How much longer?"

Athena turned around and asked the Rockets personnel behind her. She was so clueless that she didn't care whether Kona would hear her.

"Right away, estimated to be five minutes." The person operating the instrument replied.

Kona bit her silver teeth lightly, knowing that this was Athena putting psychological pressure on her.

The deep blue tail feathers as long as the body of the Frozen Bird stood up, unceremoniously releasing a violent blizzard.

It still doesn't work, so I'm very angry.

"Hey~"

It complained to Kona.

If it hadn't been injured by these bastards using this device in a sneak attack before, it wouldn't be unable to even suppress it.

The thing opposite is powerful, but it's just a dead thing.

Nor did they fully unleash the full power of the red square rock.

"Do you know what that is?"

Kona's face changed slightly and he looked at Frozen Bird.

Frozen Bird tilted its head, does it know? It doesn't know, it's just that the feeling is not fully stimulated.

Kona sighed silently.

She has known this frozen bird for a long time and has been living in this ice cave.

Although he has lived for a long time, he spends most of his time sleeping and developing. In addition, because he has not had much contact with the outside world, his personality is relatively immature.

She feels that the current situation is a bit tricky and passive.

It was also because she underestimated Frozen Bird's injuries.

If I had known earlier, I should have asked the alliance to apply to bring a copy of the Holy Ashes.

The embers left by the Phoenix King's habitat have an extremely miraculous effect on treating Pokémon. Even the vitality potion developed by the Joey family, which is the best at treating Pokémon in the human world, cannot match the effect of holy ash.

At least after using three or four bottles of vitality potion, according to Frozen Bird, some of the injuries in its body still could not be healed.

Fighting is no problem, but it doesn't matter how strong you are.

It is true that the reserve of holy ash in the alliance is pitifully small, but in exchange for the friendship of a frozen bird, most people probably have no objection.

This not only represents a high combat power, but also represents a steady stream of future.

"Buzz~"

An earthy yellow wave suddenly intervened on both sides.

Kona and Team Rocket were both slightly stunned.

"Trash that fails to accomplish anything but fails to accomplish anything." Athena suddenly changed from being calm and composed to speaking dirty words.

Kona didn't know what happened, but it was definitely a good thing for him if the other party was dissatisfied.

"A combined blizzard."

Kona decisively commanded all the ice elves to release this area-of-effect skill.

Huge snowflakes formed and were carried by the tornado-like wind towards the rocky area.

The speed of ablation has slowed down noticeably to the naked eye.

"withdraw."

Without saying a word, Athena released her crow leader, grabbed the red square slate in the center of the instrument, stuffed it into her chest clothes, and ran away.

This is also the reason why senior officials of the Rockets have never been caught by the league.

After making a plan in advance, if they cannot successfully achieve their goals, sufficient escape routes are always the first factor they consider.

Once the plan goes beyond the plan, the best way is to escape immediately.

Otherwise, the gap in strength would have caused them to perish long ago.

As for what to do with the ordinary members who failed to escape, Athena said that it is easy to train them through Team Rocket's channels.

"Trash is trash. There are so many people who can't even hold back one Xiba."

Athena held the crow's head's paws with both hands and flew outside quickly.

As the top person in charge of this mission, she naturally knew what the yellow light wave just meant.

"Pick me up at escape point 5."

She freed her hand and took out a strange-looking communicator from her waist.

"yes..."

The sound coming from inside was scratchy and the signal was very poor.

Her figure quickly disappeared into the complex cave.

The front battlefield of the cave.

The rocks are gradually covered by ice.

"Control it, don't kill me."

Kona told the Frozen Birds and the group of elves that originally lived in underground caves, and chased after them with his own elves.

She wouldn't let Athena run away so easily.

Even if she can't be caught in the end, she will still be exhausted.

The left behind Team Rocket looked at the Frozen Bird and nearly a hundred elves who looked at them with red eyes, and swallowed unconsciously.

"babble!"

Frozen Bird gave a menacing order, and the twenty-odd Rocket Team and their elves could no longer be seen from the outside in the next moment.

It didn't make a move.

It is a noble beast, how can it teach foreign enemies a lesson by itself?

Inadvertently stepping on the bodies of all Team Rocket members, Frozen Bird strolled up to the instrument.

At this time, the instrument had lost the light it had when it was first activated, and only the various expensive materials on it occasionally gave off a fiery feeling.

Lean slightly.

Very annoying, but also very friendly energy fluctuations.

Frozen Bird couldn't understand why this happened.

Earthy yellow ripples spread out layer by layer under its feet.

It stepped on it disdainfully. What kind of pretense is it? It’s different. Do you think I can’t recognize it because it looks almost the same?

"babble-"

He raised his wings again and shouted. The energy fluctuations and temperature in the cave made the ice elves more comfortable.

The frozen bird flapped its wings, but this time, there was no change in the cave, as if it was doing useless work.

Faintly, the earthy-yellow energy ripples on the ground were suppressed by the blue-white energy ripples.
