Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"I mean, why don't we just go out."

In the dark cave, a young man's pleading voice echoed.

His face was extremely pale.

Zheye, who was walking in front, didn't look back: "There is another victim. We can go out when we find him."

"I've been looking for him for a long time. Maybe he has been killed by the wild Pokémon here, or he was taken away because he couldn't find a place to avoid the flood..."

The young man kept talking.

Zheye shook his head helplessly.

It was now the morning after he entered the dark cave. More than four hours had passed since the early morning flood receded. He and Yaori had successfully found the second victim more than an hour ago.

But the mentality of this victim was very different from that of Yaori.

Although he had only been trapped in the maze for a week, which should be the shortest among the remaining three, when Tetsuya and Yaohi saw him, they felt that his mental condition was not very good.

Zhe also said that he fully understood that the other party might be seriously injured psychologically in this environment, but this did not allow him to give up the search and rescue in advance and go back.

"Yima, relax, we're already here, we won't be unable to get out."

Yaori patted the mentally fragile young man and comforted him.

"What if, I mean what if I can't find my way out? I really don't want to stay in this place any longer."

The tone of the young man who called Yima was full of pain.

Compared with Yaori, who has sufficient logistical supplies, the food reserves in his space backpack are not too much.

Since being trapped in the maze for a week, he has always calculated how much food he has left to eat. The more he eats, the less he eats, and the less he eats, the more desperate he becomes.

If he could survive with the rich resources in the forest when he was in trouble, there would be no fruit for him to eat in the underground cave now.

Even if there were, the group of elves guarding the fruit trees were not something he could deal with.

Fortunately, the rescuer Zhe also appeared when he was about to face despair.

All I want now is to get away from this place.

"The other person may be like you. If you find him as soon as possible, you may be able to save his life." Tetsuya, who was leading the team at the front, made his attitude clear.

"But......"

"Shh——"

Just when Kazuma was about to say something, Tetsuya stopped him.

"Xia Mo"

A red shadow appeared in front of the three people, it was a flame chicken.

"Did you find it?" Zheye asked.

In the surprised eyes of the three people, the Flame Chicken nodded.

"But the other party's condition is not very good. He seems to have fainted."

Its waveguide sounded in the depths of Tetsuya's heart.

Zheye frowned, but quickly relaxed: "You lead the way."

If you faint, just faint, as long as you are still alive. With the medical technology of the elf world, it is easy to cure as long as you are alive.

"Follow up."

Zheye followed the flaming chicken forward quickly and shouted something along the way.

Needless to say, the two people who had long wanted to leave here also unleashed their potential and ran very fast.

It was impossible to tell that these two people had been trapped underground for a long time.

After running for about five minutes, a man who fainted on the ground appeared in front of the three of them.

"call--"

The elf next to the man made a threatening sound from his throat.

Its appearance is like the bulldog from Tetsuya's previous life, except that it is upright, and its whole body is mainly lavender, with black stripes on its wrists and neck, and heavy and huge canine teeth on its lower jaw.

It's King Blue.

"Flame Chicken, please convince me."

Zheye glanced at it, and then handed it over to the flame chicken to solve.

"Bang"

The next second, Emperor Blue, who was waving his limbs and exposing his thick tusks, flew backwards.

After hitting the rock wall, it undoubtedly lost its ability to fight.

"I mean, use your waveguide to talk to it to convince."

Zheya patted his forehead and was speechless.

"Down..."

The flame chicken put down its kicked right leg and screamed, thinking it was asking for physical persuasion.

Yima swallowed.

He suddenly felt that the young man in front of him had a bad temper, so he seemed to be asking for trouble just now because he kept talking.

"Forget it, that's fine. It saves you the trouble." Zheye looked at Blue Emperor falling to the ground and scratched his head, but didn't say much to the Flame Chicken.

An elf like King Blue looks extremely ferocious, but in fact he is very timid. Waving his limbs to scare people is probably the limit of this little guy.

If the Flame Chicken really uses a waveguide to communicate with it, maybe the string in Emperor Blue's mind will be completely broken, and the result will not be much different from now.

"Pangyan Monster, come here and help me."

Tetsuya greeted the Pangyan Monster who was at the end. It was time to take advantage of the big guy's size.

He effortlessly picked up the unconscious man and put him on Pangyan Monster's back.

"Oh, by the way, there's that little guy."

After thinking about it, Zheya did not choose to take out the Poké Ball from the unconscious man, but let the Flame Chicken throw the Blue Emperor, who was also unconscious, onto the back of the Pangyan monster.

To be precise, it was on the back of its trainer.

"You can go back now."

Although the irritable performance of the Flame Chicken just now made Yima a little scared, at this time, he only had the word "get out" in his mind, and he didn't care about other issues at all.

He hurriedly asked Zheya.

"We're all alive, let's go."

Zheye nodded, recalled the route out, and simply led the way.

He also wanted to leave a long time ago. It was quite tiring to look for someone after not sleeping all night, but he had no choice but to do it due to the mission.

With seven twists and turns, the maze that seemed completely irregular to Kazuma and Yaohi seemed so simple under Tetsuya's leadership. It was so simple that both of them were worried that he was wandering around randomly.

"that......"

It was still a horse. When Tetsuya decisively and resolutely chose the cave passage, he seemed to want to say something again.

"Uh~"

A sudden moan interrupted him again.

It was the man on the back of Pangyan Monster who woke up.

"We have been rescued and can go out immediately."

Yao Ri, who was following him, said to the man who was obviously confused and wary.

"Thanks."

The man's voice was a little hoarse.

Taking the water handed to him by Yaori, he swallowed it in small sips. Now his physical condition could not withstand any more torture.

"Did this kid faint because he was protecting me?"

Looking at Emperor Blue next to him, the man asked.

"Um...yeah."

In this regard, Yaori said that this was indeed the case.

The man nodded and said nothing more.

He took out a Poke Ball with difficulty and took his friend back.

"Stay on the back of the Pangyan Monster. Although it may be a little uncomfortable, it is at least better than walking on your own."

Just as he was about to move, Tetsuya's voice came over.

The man felt his sore back, thought about his current body, and chose to follow Tetsuya's advice.

The stone was a little harder, but at least it wouldn't make him pass out from exhaustion.

"My name is Jin Nan. Thank you very much for your rescue. If you need anything after we get out, just ask me."

The unconscious man introduced himself.

"It's not us, it's just him. Yima and I are the unlucky ones who were in trouble just like you."

Seeing that Zheya was just leading the way and not saying anything, Yaori simply replied to him.

"No matter what, I still have to thank you for not giving up searching after I was rescued."

Although he had just woken up from a coma, Jin Man's brain was exceptionally good.

Yi Ma didn't say anything, and Yao Ri didn't say much. The two middle-aged men just chatted.

"Light, I saw it, it's the sun."

Under the leadership of Tetsuya, the group quickly walked out of the maze and arrived at the entrance of the Dark Cave near Platycodon City.

Looking at the bright light not far away, Yima ran out like crazy.

Outside the cave entrance, seeing the sudden appearance of a missing person, the gym staff guarding here hurriedly reported to their gym leader.

Sutian, who was educating his son Asu in the Platycodon Gym, heard the news and immediately changed from angry to full of joy: "Okay, okay, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, he couldn't wait to hang up the phone.

As he walked out, Sutian told Ah Su: "Asu, please contact the elf center and ask Miss Joy to prepare some inspection items."

"knew."

Asu nodded.

He also knows what happened in recent days, and he is the only legitimate heir to the Platycodon Gym.

"That guy is really awesome."

He thought silently.

"Hello, hello, this is Asu from the Platycodon Gym, is Nurse Joy here..."

Asu quickly took action.

The clear chirping of birds rang in the sky above Platycodon City, and all the residents looked up curiously.

The city is a restricted area. Who is so bold as to blatantly violate the rules?

A silver flash of light was still clearly visible across the sky during the day.

"This is our Sutenkan master from Kikyo City. How about it? Isn't he very powerful?"

Seeing this scene, the residents of Platycodon City said that it was so, and they were very proud to introduce the owner of their city to the tourists.

"I heard that Sutenkan Master's trump card is the armored bird. How can it fly so fast? I feel like it's almost like a bird."

A trainer sighed with longing.

"Yes, yes, he is indeed the gym leader who is known as the strongest flying trainer. His strength is really too strong."

Everyone was talking a lot.

Just when Suten rushed to the Dark Cave immediately, Tetsuya and his group also walked onto the ground.

"ha--"

Yaori took a deep breath of the fresh air on the ground and enjoyed the warmth of the noon sun shining on his body. He felt extremely happy now.

Probably only those who have truly escaped death can understand such a feeling.

"Welcome back."

The staff of the Platycodon Gym came forward wearing uniforms.

"The master of Suten Hall will be here soon, and Miss Joy's ambulance from the Elf Center is also on the way. You will soon be able to enjoy the soft big bed and have a good rest."

His words were full of congratulations.

"Boom"

While he was talking, the sound of heavy objects was heard.

Sutian, who had sex like a superhero, quickly walked out of the smoke and dust under the gaze of everyone.

Zheye shook his head at him imperceptibly.

Sutian understood immediately. It seemed that only the three people in front of him survived among the five people who were killed.

A survival rate of 60% is pretty good.

"Thank you for your hard work, your families are already waiting for your return at the Elf Center."

"Thank you very much, Master Suten."

Regarding Sutian's arrival, the three rescued people showed considerable excitement.

This is a living king-level trainer.

Normally, it would be impossible to see them face to face.

Although Tetsuya always sees the gym leader and talks to him so naturally, he feels that the gym leader is very approachable. This is just an illusion brought about by his talent and background.

In fact, any king-level trainer is out of reach for ordinary people, especially gym leaders.

The rescue work is completed and the follow-up aftermath work is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The fact that Jin Man fainted meant that his body had completely reached its limit. The other two people did not faint but were not much better.

Being able to survive until now is entirely dependent on the desire to survive and willpower.

"I won't be polite to you anymore. I will call you after reporting the reward this time."

Looking at the three people being carried into the ambulance, Sutian said to Tetsuya beside him.

Although the Taoist master has great power, he still has to go through the process. After all, the city is not his alone.

"Okay." Zheye smiled and nodded.

The profit this time was quite good, and the value of a pair of incomplete black glasses was enough to justify his trip.

And he believed that Sutian could not have treated him badly.

At worst, you can just be a junior and report to your senior brother.

"By the way, Suten-senpai, I suspect there may be ruins near Kikyo City."

The two of them walked towards Platycodon City, and Tetsuya briefly explained the specific rescue process to Suten.

"Is the light a ghost?" Su Tian frowned.

It's indeed possible.

The birth and appearance of ghost elves is definitely not without warning. Except for places like cemeteries, ruins are the most likely situation.

"I know, I'll let people explore around."

Sutian expressed understanding.

Zheya didn't take the initiative to say anything to introduce the archaeological team.

Although he knew the famous Dr. White, Sutian had many more channels than him, and he didn't feel that the other party needed his help.

Taking advantage of this free time, Tetsuya also asked some questions about the cultivation of flying elves, and gained a lot.

Especially in terms of Bi Diao's breakthrough to the Heavenly King, Su Tian gave quite powerful suggestions.

"You're tired after working all night. Just take a rest here. I'll treat you to a light meal tonight."

Suten took Tetsuya back to the room specially provided for distinguished guests to rest in the Platycodon Gym.

After a few brief words, he left to deal with matters.

"call--"

After closing the door and lying on the bed, Zheye immediately fell into a deep sleep.
