Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

Tetsuya blinked.

"Actually, you were supposed to be contacted by Joban Gym, but that bastard Sakaki went somewhere.

So I had no choice but to make the trip myself, old man, I really can’t bear it~"

President Dama Lanqi chuckled.

Tetsuya has always been curious about one thing, and that is whether the top leader of the alliance is clear about Sakaki's identity.

Although Sakaki is deliberately hiding his identity, the person in front of him is the most powerful person in the Pokémon world. It is unrealistic to say that he knows nothing.

At least, no senior management would casually call a museum owner a bastard, even if it is a somewhat irresponsible one.

“I came here this time mainly because the penultimate stop of the torch relay ceremony of this Quartz Conference is scheduled to be in Joban City.

The alliance is looking for a young local trainer who is good enough to serve as this great torch runner, and the final choice is you."

President Dama Lanqi explained the purpose of his visit very simply.

Lang on the side widened his eyes.

You know, not everyone can be the torch runner of the conference.

At least according to Tetsuya's understanding, the future scene where Xiaozhi takes the initiative to become a flame runner cannot happen now.

The Holy Fire is a flame that will burn continuously in the venue during the Pokémon League competition. It is a sacred flame that makes a wish to the gods so that the players and Pokémon participating in the Pokémon League competition can fight safely to the end.

It has great symbolic meaning, and it will be very troublesome if something happens on the way to deliver it.

Of course, the other reason is that this holy fire is the fire of the Flame Bird, and it is not an ordinary Flame Bird.

It naturally carries the gene of the Flame Bird. Once some thoughtful people get it, it is hard to say what strange consequences it will cause.

Any great flame runner must go through strict screening.

As a torch runner at the penultimate stop, the meaning is even more different.

Because the last stop is the opening ceremony venue located on Quartz Plateau.

What the torch runners at the penultimate stop have to do is run with one of their elf companions from the city to the opening ceremony, and then hand over the torch to President Dama Ranch to light it.

During this process, it can be said that countless people in the alliance are watching, instead of only the people in the two cities who are handing over like other runners.

The word "eye-catching" is the best word to describe this achievement.

"I?"

Zheya pointed at himself in disbelief, could this kind of thing happen to him?

Dama Lanqi smiled and nodded.

This is actually one of his trial reforms.

The original torch runners were only middle-aged men and women with great local reputations.

But he believes that young people are the future of the league, and the Flame Runners must become younger.

Even in his mind, trainers on the roadside could become flame runners, delivering glory with the enthusiasm of the onlookers.

Including the existing conference competition system, he is not very satisfied.

However, the alliance is not his word, and all changes take time.

"My pleasure."

Zhe also took a deep breath and expressed his intention.

Of course it is impossible to refuse, and he is not a fool. This is a great thing, the kind that can be written on his life resume.

Even among the Four Heavenly Kings, not everyone has been a Holy Fire Runner.

As I wandered aside, I felt like my mouth was filled with the sour taste of lemon.

"Okay, someone will go to your room to contact you and explain the relevant matters. I hope it won't affect your preparations for the conference."

President Dama Lanqi stroked his long beard and said.

"Then, I wish you both a remarkable achievement at the conference."

He expressed his blessings, then turned and left. As the president, he was very busy. Being able to chat with two people for five minutes was already time out of his busy schedule.

Tetsuya and Lang respectfully watched him leave.

"Tsk..."

Just look away and chirp, he's not sour at all.

"Hey, you can do it even if it's a small matter." Zheye's face remained calm, and he still spoke modestly.

He was already rolling on the bed like Togepi before.

It's a good thing that I brought Ivy Snake to the arena to fight. Otherwise, I was notified alone in the training ground. How could such a person have such a cool time pretending to be X in front of him?

"hehe."

Regarding Tetsuya's statement, Lang only answered two words, condensing all the emotions he wanted to express.

"Your elves have all recovered. It is best not to fight against the Sea Thorn Dragon in the past half hour. The energy conflict fluctuations in the body need time to recover."

At this moment, Miss Joy also came out and handed the two elves back to the trainers.

"Okay, thank you, Miss Joy." They both replied in unison.

"Then I'll go back first, there are other elves to train."

Lang said goodbye to Tetsuya.

"Okay, come on, see you in the main game." Zheye replied, the two of them were quite able to chat, and they had just exchanged contact information.

Lang was stunned for a moment.

"Okay, see you in the main race," he said, then turned around and left.

In the main match, it also depends on luck. From behind where Zheya couldn't see, Lang sighed silently.

This is not his first time participating in the conference. With his strength, it is not 100% guaranteed to advance in the main competition.

Then he patted his cheek, not as good as a genius, but at least worthy of the elf and his own efforts for so long.

On the other side, Tetsuya, who also turned around and walked towards the inside, was looking forward to his next opponent with Ivy Snake.

When he walked to the ring, there was already someone standing where he was just now.

After a brief exchange of glances, the battle began again.

Fight, win, heal, repeat.

Time passed little by little, and Tetsuya and Ivy Snake kept repeating this process.

As for boring? Of course not.

Although mentally exhausted, both the elf and the person felt that they had benefited a lot.

As the sun hung high outside, more and more people gathered around Zheye's arena.

"It's been twelve consecutive victories. This guy is a bit too good at fighting. Can he fight for a whole day?"

The trainers around were whispering.

No wonder they were so surprised.

With Ivy Snake's level, even though it can be seen that it is infinitely close to evolution, no trainer will maliciously send an elf of an excessively high level to fight.

Tetsuya took the initiative to challenge Lang, which is another way of saying it. He did not take the initiative to use high-level elves, but if the low-level ones were "ignorant", "overestimating their own capabilities" and "asking for trouble", then that was their own business.

Basically, level 40 is the highest level for fighting Ivy Snake by default.

At this level, although a battle only lasts seven or eight minutes, the amount of energy consumed is very terrifying.

Leaving aside the elves for now, with the recovery of Miss Joy's auspicious egg, a ten-minute break is enough, but the trainer cannot.

Trainers have to take both sides' moves into consideration during a battle, and they also have to think about countermeasures. The use of brainpower is comparable to overloading a computer and burning up the CPU.

For normal people, after an elite-level 6v6 battle, it would take at least half a day to buffer.

Tetsuya's twelve consecutive victories were equivalent to two consecutive rounds of full-scale battles. The ten-minute rest in each game was fine in the early stages, but became more and more useless later on.

This is not a roadside battle path. Some of the opponents you face cannot recognize all the elves, let alone their command level.

The ones Zheye defeated were all players who came to participate in the competition. Even if there was a difference in level, it would not be exaggerated.

"The next one can get ready. I'm going to restore the elves."

Under the gaze of everyone, Tetsuya directed the Ivy Snake to win its thirteenth consecutive victory. After speaking, he took back the Ivy Snake and walked towards Miss Joy.

A burly trainer walked out silently and signaled to the referee that he was Tetsuya's next opponent.

The stronger Tetsuya is, the more trainers want to challenge him. This is the spirit of trainers.

A few minutes later, a familiar figure appeared again.

"Go forward gracefully, Ivy Snake." "Kill them, Wei Li!"

The battle begins.

moment.

"The strange force loses its ability to fight, and the Ivy Snake wins."

The referee announced mechanically that he hadn't had much rest in the past half day. Really, he thought it was just an idle job.

Tetsuya repeated what he just said.

The burly man quietly retreated, and another aristocratic man in a suit signaled to the referee and stood up as the challenger.

Fifteen consecutive victories, sixteen consecutive victories...

Tetsuya and Ioto Snake were unstoppable and conquered three more cities in succession, bringing their winning streak to seventeen games.

The commotion among the trainers who were watching became even greater.

Tetsuya pressed his temples. After his seventeenth consecutive victory, he did not directly take the Ivy Snake back into the Poké Ball, but picked it up and walked towards Miss Joy.

"Please prepare for the next one, thank you."

Unconsciously, Zheya's words became more concise and his tone became stiffer when he left.

This is because almost all the consciousness is focused on command, and there is no time to care about these messy things.

"Are you tired?"

On the way to recovery, Tetsuya looked at the Ivy Snake in his arms and asked.

The little guy also had tiredness in his eyes.

The recovery of Geely Egg is amazing, and the recovery of mental power is also within the scope of recovery, but the recovery of mental power does not mean that there are no other problems.

Even if he keeps winning continuously, fighting blindly makes Ivy Snake feel extremely heavy psychological pressure.

"despair."

However, facing the trainer's question, Ivy Snake shook his head stubbornly, and stretched out two vine whips, imitating Tetsuya and pressing his temples, indicating that he was the tired one.

The person who got it.

"ha."

Tetsuya laughed and did not refuse the Ivy Snake's move.

"Please."

Miss Joy once again saw that extremely familiar face and the elf in his arms.

She sighed silently, but without saying anything else, she walked into the treatment room with the auspicious egg and the ivy snake.

As Pokémon nurses, this is their duty. Providing all logistical support is their greatest contribution.

"Pay attention to your health."

When she handed the Ivy Snake back to Tetsuya again, she couldn't help but say it again.

There were too many times for her to remember, and she didn't care at first, but it must have been nearly twenty times.

"lucky~"

Geely Dan stood aside, his little face serious and nodded.

If the Ivy Snake hadn't been injured so many times and it wasn't serious, it would have been ready to teach Zheya a long time ago.

But after many times of accumulation, it is true that as Joey said, you need to pay attention to your health.

One person and one elf nodded at the same time in an extremely skilled manner, and they agreed. As for whether they would do it or not, who knows.

On the way back.

"despair."

The Ivy Snake, which had recovered a lot, raised its vine whip high, declaring its victory.

At the same time, there was a trace of longing in its eyes, and it felt like its body was about to break.

It is not broken in the true sense, but reorganized at the level of life.

"The last scene, there is still time."

Tetsuya, who was holding the Ivy Snake in his arms, looked at the Ivy Snake panel displayed on No. 0 and was also thinking about it. He silently made up his mind. He couldn't be anxious. The more anxious he was, the worse it would be.

In the challenge position of the ring, a female trainer is ready.

Tetsuya took Ivy Snake to the podium.

"Then, the mercenary versus Qing game begins now!"

The referee gave the order.

"Chop it to pieces, Flying Mantis." "Go forward gracefully, Ivy Snake."

The two instantly sent out their elves.

Zheye looked at the Flying Praying Mantis with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes. He didn't know what happened to the cheap teacher of the Flame Chicken now. Let's wait until the conference is over to see it.

"Insect chirp!"

The female trainer named Ao immediately noticed Tetsuya's lack of concentration and immediately launched an attack.

Tetsuya's eyes immediately returned to the field.

The long battle had indeed caused his spirit to become a little slack just now.

At this time, the flying mantis has spread its wings behind it, vibrating wildly, and the harsh and sharp sound waves are spreading in all directions.

The high-power insect buzz can cause great damage to the grass-type Ivy Snake.

"Shadow clone."

In desperation, Tetsuya shouted out a useless move.

He regretted speaking out.

Ivy Snake successfully used its shadow clones, but without exception, they were all directly eliminated by the sonic range attack.

The main body also frowned in pain.

"Close it, Cross Scissors."

Qing commanded the Flying Mantis to pursue the victory. Fighting is not a place for friendship with you.

"Cheer up and tie the grass knot."

Tetsuya called out to Ivy Snake to fight back.

The Flying Mantis weighs nearly 60kg, which is not too heavy, but for the skill of tying grass knots due to the change of the opponent's weight, it is enough to exert the power of 80 in the fourth gear.

Although the damage is not serious, it is still no problem to stop it.

"despair."

One of the Ivy Snakes struggled to open its closed eyes.

With a move of his little hand, a green grass knot appeared on the path of the flying mantis.

"Get over it."

However, due to its poor condition, the Ivy Snake's grass-knotting skill is too slow to use, and the Flying Mantis itself is an elf known for its agility.

I saw the three toes of the flying mantis with sharp claws slightly touching the ground, and in conjunction with the flapping wings, it escaped from the grass knot like a ghost and came to the Ivy Snake.

Its two sickles crossed each other and struck hard on the Ivy Snake's body.

"Hey~"

The sound of a sharp sickle rubbing against flesh was heard.

"Ta~"

The whole elf of the Ivy Snake flew backwards and let out a cry of pain.

Under the blows of two high-power insect-type skills, its physical strength had reached its limit.

"The flying mantis, with a flash of lightning, chases after him and kills him continuously."

Qing gave the final order.

"Special~"

The flying mantis kicked his feet and was about to start, but he stopped.

On the Ivy Snake, the white light that represents evolution gradually emerges. Whether it is the rules of formal battles or the moral principles of elves and trainers, they cannot and should not take action during evolution.
