Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

The sound just now certainly does not mean that there is something wrong with Tetsuya's watch.

As the red flashing message prompt shows, this buzzer is more to highlight the urgency of the situation.

This is not the first time Tetsuya has encountered the temporary task of recruiting direct trainers for the alliance.

The last time I cleared Team Rocket's underground research facility in Viridian Forest, I participated in a temporary mission.

But unlike the last mission, the release form of this mission is quite surprising.

The last mission was only released as a temporary mission and did not require direct trainers to participate. To put it simply, it was similar to the bounty mission officially released by the regional alliance.

However, this mission is an emergency mission, and it directly enters the recruitment state, that is, all nearby direct trainers must participate, otherwise they will face penalties issued by the alliance afterwards.

This is a fairly rare form of mission.

Generally speaking, this often represents a phenomenon that threatens nearby cities.

Otherwise, the Alliance wouldn't be so inhumane.

"Monarch Snake, please come back first, Bi Diao, please."

After looking at the gathering place where the mission was announced, Zheya decisively took back the confused Monarch Snake and released the Bi Diao.

"That."

Zheye turned over and pointed his finger in a certain direction.

"Beep——"

Although he didn't know why his trainer was so eager, Bi Diao, who sensed Tetsuya's movements and mood, waved his wings and flew straight into the sky after he sat firmly.

When he was in the air and looking around, Zheye could vaguely see two or three elves rising into the sky with people like him in the distance.

Their destinations are all pointed in one direction - the forest guard command center.

Soon, with Bi Diao's superb speed and Zhe Ye's extraordinary physical fitness, one person and one elf arrived at the command center first.

After landing on the ground and taking back the sculpture, Tetsuya directly took out his red illustrated book to prove his identity when facing the members of the security team walking towards him.

"Enter the second passage, turn right, and enter the second room."

After confirming, the members of the security team told Tetsuya where to gather at a very fast speed.

"Thank you."

Zheye nodded towards him, and then quickly walked into the command center.

Pushing open the door of the room, there were already several trainers sitting in twos and threes. It seemed that he was not the fastest one.

It's normal. After all, Tetsuya's position just now was not too close to here. No matter how fast Bi Diao was, he couldn't conceptually shorten the distance.

He randomly found a seat closer to the back and sat down.

After about five or six minutes, the number of trainers in the room was already as high as 20.

This is quite a number.

You must know that this is just a forest in the Johto area that is not too big and not very popular. It is not like the previous Forest Forest.

"I'm sorry to call you here, but our forest guard must need your help in this incident."

Just as the trainers were sizing each other up, a rich male voice came from the door.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am the forest guard captain of the Forest of Heracross, Morio."

Standing in front of all the trainers was the bearded Morio.

"The matter is urgent, so let's keep the conversation short. If you have any questions, you can ask them after I finish speaking."

Morio is very resolute and gets straight to the point.

From the summary of his words, Tetsuya and other trainers gradually understood the general reason for this mission.

There are actually not many situations that can endanger the city. They are nothing more than natural disasters or man-made disasters.

It is easy to understand man-made disasters. It is usually dark organizations that cause big things, and they are definitely not ordinary small organizations. They will only focus on the leaders of dark organizations in various regions, such as Team Rocket.

Ordinary small organizations can't do anything if they want to, because they don't have the ability.

Or, just like the previous mission at Capital Falls, humans' expansion of living space caused elves to riot and attack the city.

There will be slightly more of this type, because humans have never stopped exploring and expanding into the wild, and even if they build human cities that have existed for a long time, they will inevitably encounter them occasionally.

This is one of the reasons why there are so many wandering elves in many cities.

As for natural disasters, there are too many.

There are also a series of natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and landslides in the elf world, and their power and damage they can cause are more terrifying than those in Tetsuya's previous life.

I don’t know if it’s because of the existence of attribute energy.

Not to mention the series of problems caused by natural disasters. Elf riots are now the norm. As creatures, they will instinctively run to safer places.

Comparing the two, of course the latter is more difficult to deal with.

This time the Forest of Heracross is facing a very troublesome natural disaster.

As mentioned before, there is a river to the west of the Forest of Heracross, dividing it from the Forest of Kairos.

But rather than a river, it's actually more like a cliff, with the river located below the cliff.

If people want to travel between the two forests, they usually use the suspension bridge above the cliff.

The main reason for this situation is that the water level of this river often surges.

If it weren't for this kind of environment, let alone the forest, several small towns not far from here might be at risk of being submerged.

If we delve deeper into the reason, it probably comes down to the topography of the Sinnoh Kanto City and the four adjacent areas of Hoenn.

First of all, Sinnoh, located in the far north, is the highest-lying region. Apart from the surrounding sea, it is difficult to see too many lakes there. This is why Tianguan Mountain is covered with snow on the mountainside all year round.

Secondly, it is a little bit lower and the whole is located in Kanto in the west.

Kanto is the most suitable for human habitation in terms of terrain and seasonal climate. You can find plains, mountains, hills and islands, and a variety of environments here. Therefore, many types of Pokémon live here.

The other two regions, Johto and Hoenn, are more embarrassing.

It's okay to say that Fengyuan is located in the southeasternmost area. Most of its areas are a combination of water and land. There is a tropical rainforest on one side and a desert on the other, which are very common natural landscapes there.

Some locations in the Hoenn region can only be reached by water, and a few islands can even be dived.

This is the legacy of the turf war between Groudon and Kyogre.

Among other things, have you ever seen a city built on a dormant volcano under the sea? Liuli City in the Fengyuan region is it.

The Johto area is sandwiched in the middle, so there is no need to describe it in detail.

To put it simply, it is all low-lying areas and forests.

This peculiar topography determines that the Johto area will inevitably be subject to frequent attacks such as tsunamis and floods.

The river next to the Forest of Heracross is one such location.

The key is that the river water level here has been rising irregularly, which is very distressing. The forest guard has to spend a lot of energy on guarding it every day.

It's not that they don't have ways to deal with it. After all, they have been here for so many years, and they have almost become perfect with practice.

But this sudden flood attack was more severe than before.

According to estimates by members of the guard team using professional equipment, in two hours, the water level of the river will officially submerge the suspension bridge height of the cliff and enter the forest, and then in five hours, it will break through the forest defense line and point directly towards human settlements.

Tetsuya's memory is of course extremely good. Under Morio's more detailed description, he even gradually constructed a map in his mind.

"In other words, if we follow this route, is it possible that this flood will even reach Jihua City?"

Zheya, who quickly came to a conclusion, took a deep breath.

As for why it disappeared after arriving at Jihua City, that is of course nonsense, because there is the sea behind Jihua City, and the floods will naturally disappear after entering the sea.

If this really happens, it will simply make matters worse for the Johto Alliance, which has always been in a miserable state.

Fortunately, the forest guard discovered it in time.

Of course, it is impossible for only the twenty trainers present to participate in this kind of thing.

After Morio reported to the superiors, the Johto Alliance responded extremely quickly.

All personnel and materials are on their way.

Natural disasters are always strong, but as long as they are discovered in advance, it is not impossible to solve the world with elves.

What people fear most is the kind of natural disaster that occurs suddenly without warning.

Perhaps this was not realistic for the previous life, because there were probably signs before a natural disaster occurred.

But elves can succeed and elves can fail, and anything can happen suddenly in a place where elves exist.

Maybe the earthquake was just Groudon sleeping underground and rolled over after sleep, or the tsunami was just Kyogre sneezing.

Judging from the information Morio told in order to stabilize the morale of the army, Tetsuya estimated that there was a high probability that one or even several of the eight masters of the Johto Eight Avenue Hall would come to the scene to solve the problem.

It's probably impossible to have a cheap brother of your own, because the fighting elf's ability in this area is still lacking.

However, Tetsuya also has a guess in his heart about the gym leader who can deal with the flood.

What Tetsuya and the others have to do as the latest advance team is actually not too difficult. The main thing is to assist the forest guard to appease the elves nearby.

This is not an easy job.

There are only sixteen members of the Forest Guard here. Counting the 20 trainers, the total number is only thirty-six.

The forest here is small, but that is compared to Viridian Forest. Even if the thirty-six humans include their respective elves, scattered throughout the entire forest, it is only a drop in the ocean.

Not to mention that the police force has to set aside a considerable number of manpower for the command center to observe river water levels and perform various docking and command tasks.

As for how to appease?

That is of course the simplest and most direct way - knock the elves out of the forest unconscious and put them aside, and then release them to nature after the incident.

Protection is protection, but priorities must be clearly defined.

"That means that 28 of us have to complete the defense line of the entire forest?"

The face of a middle-aged male trainer was very ugly.

"I'm sorry to tell you, to be precise, it's two."

Morio chuckled and told him even worse news.

"You can keep fewer people here in the Forest of Heracross. After all, Kairos's character is more violent. Maybe those Heracross won't be able to escape."

There are also trainers who immediately started planning.

There is no point in raising the issue if it is not difficult. He can still succeed in the recruitment task. He does not want to be dragged into some unknown blacklist by the alliance.

Morio shook his head: "No, because there have been previous examples where Heracross would still choose to flee when his life was threatened.

Moreover, they are stronger and will be more troublesome than Kairos if something goes wrong."

"Actually, it's not bad. The side we mainly defend is in the west where the terrain is higher. There is nothing we can do about the fish that have slipped through the net on the other side."

Another trainer said this.

Indeed, the elves must have run to higher ground to escape the flood. Although they have no concept of terrain, they know where to save their lives.

"The targets we are recruiting this time are trainers who are above the elite level in the two forests. Unfortunately, there are only twenty of them here. The other weaker trainer alliances have already issued notices asking them to evacuate."

When it comes to the shortage of manpower, Morio seems to be very overwhelmed.

As long as he is given enough manpower, all problems will no longer be a problem, but there are not so many people.

The main reason is that trainers under the elite will not be of any help in defending against the impact of wild elves, but will instead be a hindrance.

"We have prepared all the defense positions for everyone based on the habits of the major ethnic groups in the forest. You only need to choose the most suitable position according to your own elf characteristics. If there is a conflict, report it immediately."

Morio placed a schematic diagram on the blackboard at the front of the room, with about twenty red dots scattered on it. This must be the prepared position he said.

"I'll take position 3. My elves are very suitable for dealing with Badadie."

"The No. 5 position belongs to me. It's more suitable for my performance there."

"I'll come on the 8th" "I'll come on the 22nd"...

Knowing the urgency of the situation, each trainer immediately divided up all the defense locations.

Tetsuya also chose a more difficult defensive point.

"Then, please."

Morio bowed to everyone very seriously.

"The duty lies."

Everyone's attitude is the same. This is the concept that every Alliance member has been taught since childhood.

"Mr. Tetsuya, please stay."

Just as everyone was walking out of the room, Morio called Tetsuya.

"What's the matter?" Zheye asked curiously.

"It's like this. You are the strongest among all the trainers recruited this time. My own strength is far inferior to yours."

Morio came up and first praised Tetsuya.

Then he said very embarrassedly: "According to the original plan, I, the captain, should be the one to carry out mobile defense, but I personally think you are more suitable than me. I wonder if I can go to the area you choose to defend, and you will be responsible for the mobile defense."

defense."

The most direct way to describe the so-called mobile defense is to move bricks wherever there are unexpected dangers.

After all, although there are no king elves in the entire forest, there are still many quasi-kings. Most elite trainers do not have the ability to deal with a quasi-king and a group of elites and ordinary elves at the same time.

This is also the most dangerous and tiring position.
