Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"Hello, dear viewers in front of the TV, welcome to the Quartz Conference's 16th to 8th competition. I am the host of this competition, Yahui.

Before the game starts, let’s take a look at all the battles in this round.

First of all, the first game is a battle between two high-profile players, Tetsuya Tamaki and Shizuka Shinagawa.

In previous competitions, Tamaki Tetsuya, as a new trainer who just debuted and participated in the regional competition for the first time, had a very eye-catching and outstanding performance..."

The host, dressed in traditional Kanto costumes, faced the camera with a smile and reported the real-time situation in the Quartz Arena.

Inside Nibi Gym.

"Well, it seems that our original plan to go to watch Tetsuya's game is going to be cancelled." Jiro huddled in the corner of the sofa with a look of helplessness and said.

The main reason is still himself. He had some problems with the school's final assessment this semester. He had to wait until the eighth-to-fourth game before he could have time to go to Quartz Plateau to watch the game with his whole family.

Otherwise, there would have been someone in the exclusive viewing room of Nibi Gym a few days ago.

"It can only be said that this boy is not very lucky, but at this point, another round will not help him much." Wu Neng answered his second son's question nonchalantly while picking his nose.

To be honest, Tetsuya's ability to reach this point was slightly beyond his expectations.

It can only be said that Monarch Snake's rapid progress played a key role, otherwise Tetsuya's opponent in the first round, Sugiyama Kage, would not have been able to solve it so easily.

In addition, the luck of the draw in the second round was not bad. Instead of encountering an opponent with similar strength but superior attributes, I encountered a fool.

Well, in Wu Neng's eyes, the trainer named Natsuko is just a fool.

"It's not impossible to go further." Xiaogang sat next to him solemnly, forming a sharp contrast with his father and younger brother.

"Back to Jiro, I think father, you need to give him to grandpa for education."

Xiaogang, who squinted his eyes slightly, said the words with a calm expression that made Jiro's expression change drastically.

"I'm still young and have to go to school, so there's no need." Jiro said weakly.

But it is obvious that he has almost no say in the family, and no one pays attention to his struggles.

Wu Neng touched his chin, feeling very moved.

He still has a clear understanding of his ability to teach children, which can be said to be two extremes from his ability in elf cultivation and command.

Not to mention teaching, he is not even very good at taking care of children. If Xiaogang hadn't taken over the care of his younger brothers and sisters after he got a little older, who knows what kind of unfortunate situation Jiro and others would have suffered.

"You two were educated by your grandfather and you still insist on dragging me along." Jiro shouted out his final unwillingness.

Then he felt something bad.

"It's really a bit young now, so let's experience it with me for a while. Grandpa hasn't seen Jiro for a long time."

Xiaogang walked up to his biological brother with a slightly ferocious expression and moved his hands and feet.

Wu Neng also sat up straight and nodded: "I think your proposal is quite good, Xiaogang."

Jiro was about to cry, but the screen on the TV just changed. He rolled his eyes and shouted quickly: "It's a game, it's a game."

The live broadcast screen just cut to Tetsuya's appearance.

"This is the young man named Tetsuya you have been mentioning. He is indeed handsome."

The woman walking by carrying two pots of green plants sighed casually.

"Mom, we already have enough potted plants at home." Xiaogang persuaded with a hint of helplessness.

"I know, I know, I took this to the gym~" Xiaogang's mother, Xiaomi, replied with a smile.

The only thing worthy of attention is that Xiaomi has a pair of big eyes that are no different from ordinary people, but to the Wu Neng family, they look like Kazilan.

It can only be said that Wu Neng's genes are indeed strong, and all ten children have narrowed eyes, but this is a good thing for him.

Xiaomi carried the green plants and walked out humming songs.

"We are a rock gym."

Xiaogang's weak words were obviously ignored by his mother.

He covered his head with a headache. Then he looked at his father who was doing nothing next to him. His head was even bigger.

"It seems not bad to be a professional trainer and go out on adventures."

On the side, Wu Neng, who looked carefree in Xiaogang's eyes, was letting himself go and thinking about his brother's proposal.

"It just so happens that Xiaogang has grown up, and it's time for him to take over the gym. At the worst, I can put my name on it. With dad here, there won't be any problems."

The more Wu Neng thought about it, the more excited he became.

As for the possibility of a cross-generational doubles fight between his eldest son and his father after he ran away, he said that this was not a big deal at all.

It's really no good, but my brother can still be used as a scapegoat. It's mainly because he asked me to do this.

"Then let's wait until the next qualification review is completed." Wu Neng made the decision happily.

Xiaogang, who was watching the live TV broadcast, probably never imagined that his father was planning to "run away from home" at this moment. Fortunately, he more or less reliably considered the qualifications of his own gym and did not run away immediately.

But I guess Xiaogang doesn't think Wu Neng is reliable.

"Okay, the competition officially begins, blue side Shinagawa Shizuji and red square Tamaki Tetsuya!

It seems that the first elf sent by both sides is mainly to test first. Compared with Shizuji's team, who often plays the main force, the big rock snake, Tetsuya's team sent out the giant rock monster, which has only appeared once before.

It’s a duel between two elves representing rock and earth. I don’t know what kind of exciting battle it will bring to us, let’s wait and see..."

The passionate voice of the commentator echoed in the sky above the main arena.

"Big Rock Snake, risk your life and charge!"

The thin Shinagawa Shizuji pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and gave the order with great momentum.

For a large rock snake with a hard head that is immune to reaction force damage, using skills such as self-sacrifice collision is extremely advantageous.

Not to mention that with the size advantage of Big Rock Snake, which ranks at the forefront of all elves, once hit, even elves like Pangyan Monster who are resistant to general skill attacks due to their own attributes will suffer considerable damage.

And don't forget, this is still under the condition that Pangyan Monster's body weight has a huge advantage.

Tetsuya's Pangyan Monster is nearly 2 meters tall and extremely wide, and can fully support a mass of more than 300 kilograms. Compared with Shinagawa Shizuji's Oiwa Snake, which is more than nine meters long but only weighs more than 200 kilograms. Looking at the data, it can even be

It's not the same magnitude.

Thanks to the fact that there is no absolute relationship between the weight and strength of strange creatures like elves, otherwise the highly visually impactful scene would not be visible on the playing field.

For example, a mosquito-repellent swimmer (with a standard body shape of 1.3 meters tall and weighing 54 kilograms) may overturn a heavy mud draft horse (with a standard body shape of 2.5 meters tall and weighing 920 kilograms).

This is also one of the reasons why elf battles are so fascinating. When a little elf wins a hearty victory with an image that is extremely inconsistent with its appearance, the feeling is extremely attractive.

Tetsuya could not help but sweat break out on his forehead as he watched the powerful rock snake charging towards him. This kind of overwhelming charge was simply exciting.

His eyes were full of the desire to fight.

Scared? This is impossible. The word scared is not in his dictionary.

Not to mention the Pangyan Monster, whose godless eyes stared indifferently at the rapidly attacking large rock snake, quietly waiting for the command of its trainer.

"Pangyan monster, cannon light cannon."

Tetsuya waved his hand and chose to confront the big rock snake head-on.

"Dangoro!" "Buzz~"

The dull cry and the sound of the cannon's energy condensing sounded almost at the same moment, and the orange crystal stones all over the body of the Pangyan Monster were looming with light.

A silver-white light group gradually took shape in front of Pangyan Monster.

Under everyone's gaze, the battle reached its climax from the very beginning.

The ground under the feet of the Pangyan Monster gradually shattered due to the fluctuations caused by the energy concentration of the cannon's light cannon, and the light clusters of the skills became larger and larger.

The big rock snake carried the dust all the way and dragged its huge body crazily like an earth dragon roaring, breaking through all the tiny obstacles along the way.

The audience held their breath subconsciously, and even the commentary was silent for a moment.

Inadvertently, the cannon shot out silently.

After a brief silence, "Boom——", the sound that resounded throughout the entire competition venue came from the collision point between the cannon and the big rock snake.

"roar--"

A weak but extremely manic roar appeared from the silver-white light.

The gray rock body of the big rock snake reappeared on the field, and it was still charging, followed by silver light threads that gradually dissipated behind it.

Compared with when it first appeared, its body was covered with traces of injuries.

"Boom."

Despite this, the Big Rock Snake, dragging its injured body and charging with its own life, mercilessly hit the Pangyan Monster.

"Dangoro!"

Pangyan Monster gave a rare cry.

Not because of injury, but because I want to show my momentum.

Its eyes were fixed on the large rock snake that was very close at hand, and the ground was left with deep marks under the action of its four legs.

After being knocked away for a certain distance, the Pangyan Monster relied on its own strength to stop.

"It's our turn next, Pangyan Monster, the power of the earth."

Taking advantage of the moment when the big rock snake was frozen after using its skills, Tetsuya chased after him fiercely.

The hard head characteristic can avoid the damage caused by the reaction force, which is good, but it does not help to eliminate the stiffness after using this ultimate move.

To be honest, he was quite surprised that the big rock snake could withstand a cannon shot from the front.

You must know that the damage effect that the steel-type cannon can cause to the Big Rock Snake is very outstanding. Moreover, compared to its exaggerated physical defense capabilities, the Big Rock Snake's energy defense capabilities and physical strength are not outstanding.

Not to mention directly making the big rock snake lose its combat ability, but according to Tetsuya's idea, it can prevent the continued use of the sacrificial collision.

It can only be said that Shinagawa Shizuji is worthy of being the favorite to win this tournament. After years of training, his Oiwa Snake is definitely one of the best in the quasi-ten-king stage.

Fortunately, Tetsuya was not unprepared for this scene.

Cannon Light Cannon is a steel-type energy skill. Although Pangyan Monster has good mastery of it, its power is definitely lagging behind the orthodox steel-type elves. If the opponent can be knocked down so easily, then it cannot be called a strong enemy.

The power of the ground energy attack, which has a restraining effect on the big rock snake, is the second delicacy prepared by Tetsuya for the big rock snake.

No matter how strong he is, it is impossible to maintain his fighting ability by using two powerful skills in succession with limited physical strength. Tetsuya firmly believes in this.

Pangyan Monster's body sank, and the light yellow ripples were transmitted to the depths of the ground extremely covertly.

Shinagawa Shizuji adjusted his glasses again. Under the sunlight, even someone as strong as Tetsuya couldn't clearly see the other person's eyes against the light.

"Big rock snake, rock avalanche."

His command was extremely concise and his tone was extremely calm. He was not worried at all that he would lose a small victory first.

The outcome is yet to be determined.

"roar"

The big rock snake looked up to the sky and roared violently.

Most Big Rock Snakes are usually docile, but once provoked by others, they will become extremely violent. Big Rock Snakes can often be seen in the wild and even in cities constantly attacking humans and other Pokémon in pain.

It is precisely for this reason that it is a very good Pokémon and is very suitable for battle.

The big rock snake, which had escaped from its immobilized state, curled its tail on the ground, and a huge rock was formed out of thin air.

In Zheye's somewhat surprised eyes, the rocks created by the rock avalanche were smashed straight towards an open space beside him by the big rock snake.

That's where the energy of the earth's power is located, and Tetsuya knows this very well.

But this is because I am the trainer of the Pangyan Monster. The tacit understanding developed during daily interactions and training is enough for one person and one spirit to communicate with each other and make arrangements. How did the Big Rock Snake know?

There is only one explanation, and that is that this big rock snake has a very strong sense of energy.

Tetsuya's eyes were very cautious.

This kind of perception is not just talk. You must know that one of the few weaknesses of the Power of the Earth skill is that it is not concealed enough for other elves of the same type, and the energy traps are easily discovered.

Tetsuya and Pang Yankai have done a lot of training on this point.

In addition to depth and location, Zheye also designed a set of fake earth power energy burial methods for Pangyan Monster.

In other words, in the ordinary elf's perception, it can "see" that there are many earth power energies ambushing it, although only one can actually cause damage.

If you want to judge which specific power of the earth is real, it will definitely require reaction time, but the decisiveness of the big rock snake seems to completely skip this period of time and go straight to the real power of the earth.

For the Big Rock Snake, who is extremely poor at energy manipulation and perception, having such a perceptual ability is extremely rare.

Just looking at the series of physical skills in the list of skills that Big Rock Snake can master, you can know what a reckless spirit it is.

No wonder Zhe was also a little surprised.

"There are no blind spots in all directions." Zheye sighed silently.

In the battle between the stronger elves in the strength stage, the competition is not actually whose elf is stronger, but whose elf has fewer shortcomings.

The fewer your shortcomings, the fewer ways your opponent can find to defeat you, and the easier it is for you to win.

The reason why Du is not Kona's opponent now is not because he is not strong, but because the dragon type is really weak when facing the ice type.

The same goes for the flying system.

Only when the overall strength is leading, attributes will not become one of the decisive factors, but if the gap is not big, the battle between Tetsuya and Natsuko in the last round is the best answer.

Winning with inverse attributes is really not as commonplace as Xiaozhi appears in the animation, otherwise he would be the protagonist.

Of course, similar to the principle of the barrel, if your strengths are ridiculously strong, it won't be a problem if you have many shortcomings. Otherwise, you won't be able to become the second best trainer in the world, second only to Dan Emperor.

The most intuitive elf is the Leave King.

Even the negative side effects of its characteristics cannot negate its power.

If he is not careful, he may punch his opponent and send him home to his mother.

Shinagawa Shizuji is not really strong enough to have no blind spots, but if it is limited to the quasi-king stage, Tetsuya feels that he deserves this evaluation.

"It seems that this rockfall was somewhat beyond Tetsuya's expectations."

Wu Neng commented with a smile in front of the TV.

Although he was not at the scene and couldn't see more details, he didn't know how Zheye usually trained Pangyan Monster, but from the close-up shot of Zheye's face given by the camera, Wu Neng still discovered this.

a little.

After all, he is a powerful gym leader. Although his personality is very different in all aspects of life, it does not affect his judgment in the battle between elves.

In the eyes of others, it is nothing more than the tail of the big rock snake holding the rock and hitting the power of the earth that suddenly rushed out and was ambushed in advance. Only the person involved can clearly understand the game of the elf's ability.

I don’t know how much effort and money it will take to simply take one step ahead.

"This guy named Jingji's big rock snake is worth learning. It has put a lot of effort into the control of energy.

When your big rock snake can't find a way to improve for a while, it might be a good choice to try this."

Wu Neng pointed at his eldest son casually.

Xiaogang nodded silently.

As for whether he should do it or not, or how to do it differently, that is his own choice and thinking.

There is no trainer in this world who can become stronger by following the path taken by his predecessors.

Even if the elves have the same racial mix, the individual differences of the elves, the styles and habits of trainers, etc. cannot be exactly the same, and their performance in battle will definitely be completely different.

"You have to work harder." Xiaogang watched the TV and encouraged Zheya in his heart.

Tetsuya on the field would naturally not accept his ideas, but his belief in winning was still firm.

"Pangyan monster, invisible rock."

Zheye's eyes flickered. If the purpose of a quick attack was not achieved, then he would change his mind.

"We are coming too, Big Rock Snake, Invisible Rock."

Shinagawa Shizuji quickly kept up with the rhythm.

The initial advantage of the first attack seemed to be countered by Tetsuya, which was not good for him.

The commentator at this time was still Aba Aba, and he couldn't keep up with the speed for a while. The offensive and defensive rhythm of these two people changed too quickly.

The audience is still very tolerant of his performance. After all, this kind of thing happens frequently in annual conferences, so you can't expect a king-level trainer to provide commentary for them.

Not to mention whether the king-level trainers can do it or not, they don't dare to enjoy this treatment.

At most, the usual situation of eight into four or four into two appears instead of sixteen into eight.

But this also fully shows that the two people on the field are very strong, otherwise the experienced commentators who have received professional training will not make such mistakes.

Forget it about Shinagawa Shizuji, it’s normal to have this kind of strength.

Tetsuya's performance still exceeded many people's expectations.

Most people think that he has the strength, but when facing championship candidates, he is more likely to be crushed. The experience gap is the most fatal point.

The evenly matched situation on the field, which even had a hint of oppression, slapped them hard in the face.

"Look, I think this guy is pretty good."

In a box at the top of the main arena, President Dama Lanqi looked at the details of the battle below with a telescope, and said to the assistant beside him with a smile.

The assistant responded with a wry smile. He was one of the people who didn't think highly of Tetsuya before.

But it's not that he is short-sighted. This is completely the thinking logic of a normal person. Who would have thought that Zheya not only has excellent training ability, but also has such excellent commanding ability.

For Tetsuya, who has just started working in the background, his current performance is nothing short of a miracle.

"Some people, called geniuses, cannot be seen through ordinary people's eyes." President Damalanchi said to his assistant leisurely and contentedly, "On the other hand, if he can't do what he is now, then I might be a little disappointed.

Woolen cloth."

Dama Lanqi's words were full of confidence.

This is the confidence of a strong trainer in his own vision.

The assistant lowered his head slightly to show understanding.

Dama Lanqi didn't say much about the assistant. This was not something he could have expected. As a person who is only good at administration but not elves, the assistant has done a good enough job. This is why Dama Lanqi chose him.

The reason for being my assistant.

Zheye looked up subconsciously. The sunlight was very dazzling and he didn't see anything, but he always felt that someone was watching him.

It must be the audience, he smiled casually, the battle was so tense that he was not used to being watched.

Tetsuya took a deep breath and turned his attention to the battle on the field again.

The conditions of the two huge elves, Pangyan Monster and Big Rock Snake, are quite grim, and their bodies are riddled with scars.

It was time for a showdown, and Zheye's eyes gradually became firmer.

He never expected that he would be dragged to this point after having a slight advantage at the beginning. He thought helplessly that he was still not strong enough.

The face of Shinagawa Shizuji on the opposite side was also much more solemn than before the game.

The strength of Tetsuya, a new trainer, completely exceeded his expectations.

The opponent is not strong? He has no such idea at all. He only thinks that the guy opposite is not strong like ordinary people.

"We can almost decide the outcome with one strike." Shinagawa Shizuji made the same judgment.

The two looked at each other subconsciously, reading this message from each other's eyes.

"Pang rock monster/big rock snake, earthquake!!!"
