Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

Early the next morning.

“Bah—bah—”

The sound of machine transmission echoed in Zheya's ears.

He unconsciously adjusted the position of his earplugs.

Looking up and looking into the distance, a half-suspended steel track that has not been built yet comes into view.

This is the maglev train track connecting Jinhuang City and Manjin City.

Tetsuya's eyes were dazed for a moment.

After thinking about it, it seemed that the last time he saw the track of the maglev train under construction in Jinhuang City was only seven or eight months ago.

It's just that in his perception, this period of time has passed quite long, probably because he has experienced many things.

I looked at the construction notice erected next to it, and it roughly means that the construction of this section of the project will take about half a year.

Zhe also thought about it, and speaking of it, this seems to be the only elevated part of the entire track. The rest are either close to the ground or underground.

I don’t know if it’s because of my destination this morning.

"call out"

A purple shadow silently crossed the sky.

The huge claws are shining with light, and you can tell that they are extremely sharp at a glance.

However, the secrecy of its movements was somewhat concealed, because it came straight from the tree to Tetsuya's face.

Regarding this sudden danger, Zheye was unusually calm.

The attacking elves felt a little strange.

When I hunted like this in the past, everyone on the other side looked panicked, and then I was hit by its poisonous needle and became its food.

Why is this human being in front of me so motionless? Could it be that he was frightened out of his wits?

The purple elf's mind has already begun to plan a wonderful life with plenty of food in the next few days.

A red light flashed and the luxurious ball on the waist opened automatically.

"More"

The cry of the flame chicken sounded.

"peng"

The next moment, the attacking elf was kicked away.

"Just an ordinary Scorpio."

There was a hint of pity in Zheye's words.

The reason why he didn't keep elves around to protect him was partly because there weren't many wild elves along the way and he was confident enough in his own elf's reaction.

On the other hand, I also want to see if I can encounter any rare elves or elves that suit my liking.

If you let the Flame Chicken follow you, let alone the rare elves, there will probably be no other elves within a hundred meters.

Who knows, his ace's momentum is too strong, and he looks very difficult to bully.

Scorpio is actually a type of elf that matches Zheye's heart.

This is why he was disappointed with the ordinary Scorpio in front of him.

A Scorpion with ground and flying attributes can evolve into a Scorpion King with the same attribute combination while carrying a sharp fang at night. This is a pretty good elf.

Especially with Tetsuya's current team composition.

The Scorpio King's common characteristics are extremely good abilities, whether it is the strange force pincers or the hidden sand.

The former means that such a Scorpio King can completely develop in the direction of an assassin.

You said charging in the face doesn't count as an assassin? Are you kidding me?

Terrifying huge strength, silent wing-flapping flight, a certain degree of toxicity, good at point-to-point attacks, and good at attacking ability-boosting skills, these combined together are the template of a terrifying assassin.

If it's the latter, it won't have much impact. Although the individual characteristic of giant strength is gone, combined with the characteristics of the Pangyan monster, the Scorpio King with the Sand Hidden characteristic will only be stronger than the Scorpio King with the strange force pincer characteristic when combined with it.

One focuses on individual attack, and the other focuses on teamwork. There is no clear distinction between them, but they are both suitable for the current Tetsuya.

Moreover, the advantage of the attribute combination also allows Scorpio King to have good continuous output ability when facing battles.

Not to mention that Scorpio King, who has enough potential, may also have the hidden property of poison healing.

The poison treatment that not only does not lose physical strength but also restores physical strength when in a highly poisonous or poisoned state is an infinite enhancement for the Scorpio King.

As long as you carry a poisonous orb, an elf item that can put the carrying elf into a poisoned state, then the Scorpion King will be an assassin like a perpetual motion machine.

The sixteen-character tactics of great men in the past can be used seamlessly in the fighting style and methods of the Scorpio King.

Unfortunately, there are too few Scorpio Kings with outstanding potential.

Not to mention the wild places, Tetsuya specifically searched for the families and villages that cultivated elves like Scorpio in the alliance, and found only a small town called Scorpio Town near his current location.

Compared to the cultivation of other elves such as the Meli Sheep and the Sunflower Monster, the existence of Scorpio is simply pitiful.

Under this base, it is really difficult to get a good enough Scorpio elf egg.

"Come back, Flame Chicken."

With this in mind, Zheya took the flame chicken back again.

Although the probability of meeting a highly qualified Scorpio in the wild is even smaller, people still have to have dreams, just in case.

As for the Scorpio who was just beaten away, you can tell at a glance that it's not going to work.

The giant claws are about a circle smaller than similar ones, the toxins in the stingers at the tail are not poisonous enough, and the wings are not as tough. These shortcomings, taken together, are enough to show that its qualifications are average.

Moreover, the way it looks at preying is like a veteran. In this case, it only has ordinary strength, which further proves this point.

Zheye's figure gradually faded away.

After his back was completely invisible, a young man who looked dazed at first sight appeared from behind the tree trunk.

His dress is very strange, like a humanoid Scorpio, he is probably a fan of cos elves.

At this time, the young man's eyes were full of joy.

Looking at the unconscious Scorpio, he immediately took out two blue orange-like fruits from his pocket. They were blue-orange fruits that had the effect of restoring injuries and physical strength.

After simple slicing, he fed the blue-orange fruit into Scorpio's mouth.

The juice flows from the corners of Scorpio's mouth, making it look a little cute.

"call out"

Scorpio slowly opened his eyes.

That red elf is so scary.

There is only one thought in its mind.

The moment he was kicked, Scorpio even thought he was going to die this time.

The trembling feeling caused by this huge gap in strength makes Scorpio's whole body tremble now.

Then it saw an enlarged version of itself.

"call out!"

Scorpio rolled and crawled on the ground and flew for a distance.

What is going on.

Scorpio's little head is full of doubts and fears.

Is he dead or not?

"Don't be afraid, I saved you."

The young man said quickly.

He didn't want Scorpio to have any misunderstandings about him.

Scorpio blinked, looked at the remaining blue orange fruit in the young man's hand, and then stretched out his tongue to lick the juice on his cheek.

"Hey~"

Its eyes soon curved into a crescent moon.

"How about another one if you need it."

The young man tentatively handed the blue orange fruit out of his hand.

To be honest, there is still some danger in doing this, because Scorpio is a predator rather than a prey in the elf food chain, and it is very aggressive.

However, no matter how you say it, elves, as intelligent creatures, are better at repaying kindness than many humans.

I saw Scorpio obediently stretched out his pliers and took the blue orange fruit from the young man's hand and put it into his mouth.

In order not to scare the humans in front of him, Scorpio even deliberately lowered his poisonous tail.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this Scorpio has a fairly normal personality.

"It may be a little abrupt, but I don't know if you are willing to be my first and only partner."

Young people tried to put forward their own ideas.

That's why he came out of hiding at the risk of death.

The partner who was a powerful trainer whose name I didn’t know before was so powerful that it was normal for him to look down on this Scorpio.

But he is different.

As a fan of Scorpio and Scorpio King, it is so wonderful to have a Scorpio as my elf.

What's more, the purpose of his coming out this time is to get his own elf, so being a Scorpio is simply an added bonus.

"call out"

This time, the Scorpio King did not give any positive feedback. It took a few steps back holding the blue orange fruit, with a strong look of vigilance on its face.

For wild elves, entering the elf ball is quite scary, so they are not happy to be subdued.

"I have a lot of delicious food, such as this and this."

The well-prepared young man hurriedly took out all kinds of elf food from his pocket.

The fragrance permeates the air.

Scorpio shrugged his nose.

Seeing that the food offensive was effective, young people spared no effort to promote themselves.

Scorpio was a little dizzy, and it suddenly felt that entering that unknown ball was not an unacceptable thing.

Nothing can make wild elves give up their love for freedom, unless they have food and shelter.

From this point of view, this young man is not as stupid as he seems. At least he still has a certain understanding of the habits of wild elves.

Of course, you have to have a good impression, otherwise you will easily die.

Soon, as the sound of the elf ball subduing the elf rang out, the young man could no longer restrain his joy.

The small woods are filled with human laughter.

In other words, this is Scorpio's territory, otherwise this young man would have been attacked by other elves.

"Then, please give me your advice in the future."

The young man put Scorpio on his shoulders.

"Hey~"

Scorpio still shows some resistance, but since it has agreed, it is impossible for it to go back on its word.

"From now on, we will be the Scorpio group. You are called Scorpio, and I will be called Scorpio Man."

The young man, oh no, it was a Scorpio man and said to the Scorpio on his shoulder.

"call out"

Obviously, Scorpio is somewhat dissatisfied with this title.

"You think it's pretty good too, right? I think so too."

The Scorpio man said excitedly.

There may be some problems with the understanding of one person and one elf.

"It's really good, don't you think so?"

Seeing this scene, Tetsuya smiled and said to his friends around his waist.

Six luxurious balls vibrated in response to him.

He didn't learn to follow Nobuhiko in vain.

And in a place like the wild, of course, the perception of the outside world should be maximized.

In this way, the young man hiding behind the tree had been discovered by Tetsuya a long time ago.

Because he didn't attack him, he pretended not to know.

After discovering that the other party had been interested in Scorpio since he left, Zheye kindly came back to take a look.

If something goes wrong, he can still fix it.

As a result, we saw this scene.

Tetsuya's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Probably because his unintentional actions helped others.

"Tsk, if I had some savings back then, I might be able to be like this guy."

Tetsuya, who jumped down from the tree with an inexplicable smile on his lips, thought with a sigh.

"But why does this guy's clothes always look familiar?" He muttered to himself.

Maybe it’s my own misunderstanding, but there are too many elf cosplay costumes in the elf world.

Zheye shook his head, throwing the familiarity out of his mind.

Light footsteps sounded again, and he began to continue walking in one direction.

...

By the river, Zheye, who was sitting on a rock after breakfast, stared at the water and fell into deep thought.

He didn't understand why people were staring at him here. He clearly didn't release the electric dragon to fish.

Sensing a clear presence hiding behind a tree trunk not far behind him, Tetsuya sighed inaudibly.

It is true that there is a way to heaven if you don’t take it, and there is no door to hell but you rush in.

If the other person following him at the beginning could be interpreted as just being along the way, then if he stopped to eat now and the other person is still following him, it can only mean that the other person's thoughts are not right.

Tetsuya stood up and patted the dust on his butt.

"Flame Chicken, bring him here."

The person hiding behind the tree trunk was a little confused by his clueless words.

At this moment, a paw touched his shoulder.

The man was instantly startled: "Flying Mantis, chop continuously!"

"唦特唻~"

A red light flashed, and a green flying mantis appeared, slashing wildly with its sickle-like arms.

"More"

A flame chicken jumped and "flyed" to the branch, looking down at the person and the elf below, its eyes full of murderous intent.

How dare a person like this have thoughts about his trainer?

"How come?"

The man looked at this scene in astonishment. This was different from what he expected.

"How can a flame chicken have such speed? It's impossible."

He murmured to himself.

"I have trained the attack speed of my flying mantis to the limit, and the energy transmission of the continuous slash is also perfect. How could this flame chicken escape so easily?"

His tone was full of disbelief.

Good guy, Zheye, who was walking not far away, wanted to laugh when he heard this.

"There should be no problem with my calculations.

The speed of this quasi-king-level flame chicken is usually 1.47 times that of its kind. If it is blessed with acceleration characteristics, it will gradually increase to 2.68 times. According to the speed-distance formula, its reaction time

Probably..."

The man didn't notice Tetsuya's approach and was still thinking.

Zheye raised his eyebrows, was he prepared?
