Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

The elf next to the messenger bird that appeared in front of the three people was none other than Absol, known as the beast of disaster.

This nickname also shows how frightening this kind of elf was in the past.

In the past when superstition was prevalent, Absol was disgusted because he was thought to bring disaster, and was driven into the mountains.

Because if Absol appears in front of people, natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis will definitely occur, so it is also called a disaster Pokémon.

But in fact, in modern times, with the deepening of understanding of elves, people gradually understood the reason why Absol often appeared accompanied by crises.

The key lies in the sickle-like horn on the right side of Absol's head.

This horn can sensitively detect changes in the sky and the earth, giving it the power to sense natural disasters.

In other words, it was not Absol who brought about the disaster, but Absol who foresaw the disaster before it happened and appeared in front of humans to remind them.

It's just that before this conclusion appeared, no one had ever regarded Absol as a prophet or reminder of disaster. They only thought it was the creator of disaster, and they had considerable ill will towards it.

Although it is an evil Pokémon, Absol is an elf with a very special personality and a very docile personality, just like the white hair on its body that is different from almost all evil Pokémon.

Due to the influence of energy, most of the evil elves' external colors are mainly black or brown, and Absol is a special case.

Probably its peace-loving character led to this special situation.

And to this day, many people still insist that Absol brought the disaster and stay away from it.

Even though Hanazuki, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Hoenn region and the Evil Heavenly King, has clarified and explained this more than once, due to his dark history as a bad boy in the past, people who originally did not believe it have become more determined in their ideas.

The reason why Flower Moon King is so committed to changing the impression of Absol in people's minds is because there is an Absol among his absolute main force.

He didn't want anyone to look disgusted when they saw his Absol. This was really unfair to Absol.

Unlike humans who fear Absol, elves still have considerable trust in Absol's abilities.

If before the flood occurred, Absol had conveyed the message of the impending disaster to the weak elves and asked them to avoid it, then the strange action patterns of the elves would be explained.

As for why Absol didn't tell those powerful elves.

Tetsuya looked at Absolu who only had elite level strength displayed on the No. 0 panel, probably because of his lack of strength.

Trust is trust, but the premise is that Absol must be strong enough, otherwise he will be kicked out as a bad guy invading the territory before even starting the conversation.

In the wild elven world where the jungle is strong and the strong eat the strong, you can only talk if you have enough strength, otherwise everything will be in vain.

"Is that so? Thank you very much."

Morio bowed to Absol very solemnly.

If it hadn't been for Absol's reminder, the pressure they would have faced this time would never have been so simple.

Many people may lose their lives.

As a member of the forest ranger, of course he would not have any ill will toward Absol, but was very grateful to have such an elf exist.

The reason why I just blurted out the name "Disaster Beast" is because Absol's nickname is too deeply rooted in people's hearts.

In other words, rather than saying that the Disaster Beast is Absol's nickname, it is better to say that Absol is the nickname of the Disaster Beast.

Absol means "the departure of the sun" in ancient languages. Just as ancient civilizations believed that a solar eclipse represented an imminent disaster, the Disaster Beast was actually its original name.

Absol, who was standing on the canopy of the tree, sensed Morio's gratitude and slightly lowered his head as a gesture.

The next moment, its red eyes glanced at Zheye inadvertently, and then immediately met the messenger bird next to it.

The naive messenger bird shook its body, indicating that it was fine and could leave.

Absol immediately turned into a white light and shadow and disappeared into the white ice and snow.

It is impossible to conquer.

Although Absol is very rare, trainers have a tacit understanding and try their best to avoid elves similar to it.

Their abilities can be better demonstrated in the wild.

Maybe Absol, who was not conquered today, will save the lives of hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people and elves next time.

Moreover, Absol's combat ability is not a very strong elf.

Absolu, like Flower Moon King, who has been cultivated from the elf egg period until now, is also an exception after all.

"Fortunately, it's good news."

Morio breathed out a sigh of relief and smiled at Tetsuya and Liu Bo beside him.

After the thoughtful and absent-minded Tetsuya answered him perfunctorily, the area fell into a deathly silence.

The champion-level messenger bird is here. Although humans can't feel anything, the elves are trembling and hiding, not daring to make a sound.

They are afraid that the state of the forest will fall on them, which will be a big misfortune.

"Well, I'll go back to the command center first. The team members have something they want me to deal with."

Looking at Uncle Liu who was silent and leaning on crutches and looking into the distance, Morio wisely chose to find an excuse and leave the scene.

As for the issue of ice, let's leave it to Tetsuya. Morio thinks he has the ability to talk to Liu Bo.

Anyway, he didn't have the guts to ask.

"Have you seen Suicune lately?"

When Mori Nan disappeared, Uncle Liu's cold voice sounded again.

He stroked the messenger bird with one hand and looked at Zheye: "It feels the strong breath of the north wind from your body."

"Yes, just yesterday."

Tetsuya replied.

"Really, that's not bad."

Uncle Liu's calm voice didn't take meeting Suicune seriously at all.

Think about it, after all, this is a super master with an almost third-level god spirit.

As for why the messenger bird's level fluctuates between the champion and the third-level god, Tetsuya came up with a guess after a brief thought.

Most likely it was caused by the knot between Liu Bo and his long-haired pig.

In this way, Xiaozhi's help in the future will probably make Liu Bo significantly improve in strength.

Zheye was not surprised at all by Liu Bo's strength.

He has long been accustomed to the fact that the strength of various "acquaintances" in this world exceeds what is shown in the animation.

Moreover, he had also heard a little bit about Liu Bo's power in the Pokémon comics. He was a ruthless man who could compete with a first-level god.

It's a little weaker now.

"Also, have you been to any mountainous areas recently?"

Liu Bo raised a new question.

"Mountain area?" Tetsuya was stunned, "No."

He felt very strange why Uncle Liu would suddenly get involved in his trajectory.

"Then why did that Absol say it followed you here?"

Uncle Liu frowned, very puzzled.

"Follow me?"

Tetsuya pointed at himself in disbelief.

"Yes." Liu Bo nodded, "That's what Absol said when the messenger bird was communicating with it."

As we all know, Absol lives in steep mountainous areas and rarely comes down to the foot of the mountain. It only appears when it senses disaster.

"Could it be, Johto Falls?"

Tetsuya thought about his path after arriving in the city and came up with the only possible answer.

To go to Ruoye Town, he took the internal road of Viridian Forest, and there would be no Absol there;

Not to mention Jihua Market, if Absol had lived nearby, he would have been beaten and driven away by everyone.

Along the way, the only thing related to mountains is the Johto Falls.

I don't know how far back, it was probably a mountainous terrain. After all, meteorites had fallen there.

But why did this Absol follow him from Chengdu Falls to here? This distance is too far.

"Could it be that I am a disaster?"

Zheye thought with laughter.

"Chengdu Waterfall?" Liu Bo thought for a while, "For Absolu, it is indeed a very secluded residence."

It seemed like we needed to find time to go there and check to see if there was any problem, so Uncle Liu made a decision.

He was also very curious as to why Absol stayed apart from Tetsuya for such a long time. This was very inconsistent with the other person's habits.

As for the disaster, Uncle Liu didn't care at all.

Except for the disasters caused by the first-level gods, he has solutions to ordinary natural disasters, such as this flood.

"Last question, have you met Celebi?"

Liu Bo asked Zheye the question he wanted to ask the most.

"Celebi?" Zheya was stunned again.

Liu Bo's three consecutive questions really confused him.

Forget about Suicune and Absol, what would happen if Celebi suddenly appeared?

etc.

Tetsuya seemed to suddenly remember something. Since Liu Bo asked this, Suicune also said that he had the so-called natural breath.

Is it possible...

Looking at Zheye with a dull look on his face, Uncle Liu tapped the crutch in his hand and repeated his question.

"When you put it like that, I'm not sure whether I've ever met Celebi myself."

Tetsuya didn't know how to reply, so he simply recounted the conversation between Suicune and him and told Uncle Liu.

At the same time, he also explained his guess that he might have encountered Celebi who was hiding in the Garden of Mysteries.

Although Celebi can travel through time, he is still known as the God of the forest and the guardian of the forest.

Not only can it bring life to the places it reaches, it can also resurrect dead companions and has the ability to purify. The forests it passes through are lush and beautiful.

It is normal to wonder if the garden belongs to it.

"It shouldn't be there." Liu Bo refuted Tetsuya's guess directly.

"Didn't Damu tell you that the Unbelievable Garden is the place where Xerneas sleeps?"

In a very calm tone, he told the secrets about the mythical beasts that ordinary people would never know.

"When you go in, you should see the withered tree, right? That is Xerneas in the form of a tree."

Staring at Zheya's increasingly dull eyes, Uncle Liu kindly explained it to him.

Tetsuya recalled it for a moment, and now that he thought about it, the branch of the dead tree really looked a bit like the horn of Xerneas recorded in the legend.

But who would think of nothing but casually associate a dead tree with Xerneas?

This is the God of life, and a dead tree has nothing to do with it.

He has already seen a real first-level god.

"It's not impossible."

Not paying attention to Zheye's silence, Liu Bo overturned his previous conclusion.

"The Xerneas in our area are said to have a pretty good relationship with the Celebi family. Maybe you happened to meet them reminiscing about old times."

Regarding Liu Bo's statement, Zheye, who was in a state of shock, said that he remembered it.

He had no reason not to believe Liu Bo.

On the one hand, the opponent's extremely powerful strength is enough to prove a lot of things. For a trainer with this kind of strength, there is rarely anything he doesn't know.

If you really want to know, just ask someone to get it, no one will refuse.

On the other hand, Liu Bo's family background and interpersonal relationships are also very important.

In addition to the fact that the other party is the gym leader of the ninja town from ancient times to the present, Dr. Oki is among Liu Bo's friends.

Tetsuya may not know other information, but as a time traveler, Tetsuya said that he has something to say about the good relationship between Dr. Omu and Celebi.

By the way, he found a sketchbook on a bookcase in the corner of Omu Research Institute - the sketch of Celebi in that sketchbook was clear and detailed. (Note 1)

Anyway, Zhe didn't believe that he had never seen the real Celebi draw so much like him. Even Dr. Ohmu, who was very good at sketching elves, couldn't believe it.

The ice-covered forest regained its tranquility once again.

It's just that unlike his nervous state of mind just now, Zheye's heart is completely dizzy at this moment.

He just came here to have some sweets, but he was just lucky enough to encounter a flood, so he was told that he had already met Celebi and Xerneas.

This is a real first-class god.

Could it be that I am the protagonist of that so-called world?

Even someone with strong self-control like Tetsuya couldn't help but start having sex at this moment.

Then he saw Uncle Liu leaning on crutches.

The white-haired Uncle Liu seemed to be so thin that he could be knocked down with just a push.

"Illusions are all illusions."

Zheye immediately calmed down and reminded himself repeatedly.

Meeting a mythical beast or something? Judging from the look of this guy, I don’t know how many mythical beasts he has dealt with.

Dr. Oki didn't tell him this, probably because he felt that knowing this was of little significance to Tetsuya now, and would instead disturb his mind.
