Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"oh?"

Tetsuya's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the word "reform". This thing is a bit interesting.

Many ways of using it flashed through his mind.

Don't get me wrong, he is not there to do bad things. For example, he will never do anything like changing his face to peek at someone else.

Ah Xing didn't notice Zheya's interest at all, and still complained: "That kind of disguise mask is very harmful to the skin, I don't want to make that kind of thing.

Besides, who still uses traditional disguise props these days? Don’t you know how to put on makeup?”

Tetsuya blinked.

"But don't underestimate me, I can still make some things, such as using the silk spun by the orb silk spider to make facial masks."

Ah Xing might also feel a little embarrassed, so she added a little bit.

This facial mask seems to be a bit different from the disguise mask, even though they are both used to cover the face.

It's normal when you think about it. Ah Xing is a girl anyway, so it would be strange not to be interested in these things.

"Speaking of which, have you conquered any new partners in Johto? Do you want me, the Johto encyclopedia, to give you some advice?"

Ah Xing raised her head quite proudly.

"Not yet." Zheye shook his head, "I rarely take the initiative to conquer elves."

Regarding this point, Ah Xing nodded quite approvingly: "That's right, the kind of person who takes back an elf when he sees it is not worthy of being a trainer at all. Since he can't take good care of him as a partner, don't be casual at the beginning.

Subdue it."

Xiaozhi, who was competing fishing with Xiaomao in the Kanto region, suddenly sneezed.

"You don't want to use illness as an excuse to escape because you are about to lose again."

Xiao Mao looked at Xiao Zhi and said with a hint of ridicule.

Xiaozhi, who just felt a sense of malice, immediately put the incident behind him.

He blushed: "Who are you talking about running away? It's obviously you who wants to lose, okay? And the trainer's fishing, can you call it a loss? I just have bad luck today."

"Haha, you must have bad luck every day, right?"

Xiaomao's mouth pierced Xiaozhi's heart.

The two of them grew up together and no one knows who is the other. Regardless of any competition, Xiaozhi has not yet defeated Xiaomao.

"Tsk, children are full of energy."

Dr. Oki, who was standing at the window with a cup of coffee and watching the two people playing, shook his head leisurely.

However, he is still very optimistic about this silly kid Xiaozhi. At least his love for elves is much stronger than most people in the world.

This is enough to make him a pretty powerful trainer.

The elf will use practical actions to repay the trainer's trust and love for it.

"Damu, come here and take a look. Is this data a little strange?"

Dr. Yamanashi's voice sounded from behind.

"Coming, coming."

Dr. Oak hurriedly drank the coffee in his hand and devoted himself to the study of elves.

When Zheye heard what A-Xing said, he shrugged. His thoughts were a bit different from A-Xing's, mainly because he couldn't afford to raise so many elves.

Otherwise, he, who is somewhat of a collector, would still choose to conquer many elves he likes.

His dream life is to be in a yard when he gets old, with many cute, mighty, or lazy elves accompanying him to bask in the sun.

"Ah, I've been talking to you for too long."

Ah Xing looked down at the time and quickly jumped up to the tree, "I'll talk to you next time I have a chance, or you can come to the Ninja Academy to visit and say my name. Bye~"

Her voice faded away.

It can only be said that they are worthy of being a ninja family. While they don't follow the ordinary path, they are also extremely skilled.

"But, did she go in the wrong direction?"

Zheye looked at Ah Xing's leaving figure and scratched his head.

Ninja, are there any road crazy people?

He quickly felt relieved. Maybe he had other things to do, so why bother with so much.

As we walked along the official road, the desolate wilderness gradually became prosperous.

A small town-like building complex appeared in front of Tetsuya.

"It's finally here."

He stretched.

I actually met a lot of "acquaintances" along the way, which is quite rare.

“Welcome to the exclusive rest area on Route 32, wish you have a wonderful day here~”

Miss Joy's sweet words sounded from a high-hanging speaker.

"Let's go to Bobo's shop first."

Tetsuya, who had multiple destinations, looked at the map and quickly decided on the first place he wanted to go.

The so-called Bobo store does not refer to the official breeding store that breeds Bobo eggs, but refers to a store that specializes in delivering letters and goods to people from all over the world.

Basically, all trainer-related institutions such as the Alliance Bounty Hunter Guild, Alliance Trading Platform, and even most ordinary people use Bobo Store to send express delivery.

Although it is called Bobo store, its employees are not only Bobo, but also Bibiniao and even Bidiao. They are all good at work.

Of course, Bi Diao is still relatively rare. After all, elves of this level are better off doing more meaningful things than sending things, unless you add money.

You know, in the wild, a very large group of bobos may not necessarily have a eagle as its leader. This is a powerful raptor that can dominate a forest.

The reason why it is called Bobo store is mainly because the founder started by sending things to Bobo.

Bobo Store has branches in every town, but its main store is in a dedicated rest area on this wild road in the Johto area.

I have to say, this is quite surprising.

After all, safety in big cities is more guaranteed.

According to the words of the former manager of Bobo Store: "Bobo, Bibi Bird, and Bi Diao are all elves who yearn for freedom and love the sky. Living in the city will undoubtedly prevent their emotions from being released, which is very wrong.

.”

This is a more official statement.

According to the meaning translated by Tetsuya, it is probably that there are too many of these three types of elves that Bobo shop wants to cultivate. The city cannot accommodate so many elves at all, and it is better to be in the wild.

Moreover, Bobo store was just a small store at the beginning, so the cost issue is still quite important.

Although it has grown bigger now, the location of the main store cannot be changed at will.

The main store here is not actually directly responsible for receiving items sent by mail. It plays more of a role similar to cultivating employees.

The large forest outside the rest point is where its employees rest and live.

Those branches in cities are more like temporary residences for employee elves.

Soon, Tetsuya stopped in front of a building with a wave-shaped sign.

Don't get me wrong, he is not here to make money by letting his Bi Diao become a temporary employee of Bobo's shop. He is not that poor yet.

"It must be Mr. Tetsuya. The master of Suten Hall has already told me, please come in quickly."

A slightly older man dressed as the shop owner came out and greeted me warmly.

"You are Mr. Genjiro, I'm sorry to bother you."

Tetsuya responded politely.

That's right, a large part of Popo's shop actually belongs to the Platycodon Gym, which is Asu's family.

If this were not the case, Bobo Store would not be trusted by so many people.

Many of the items sent are quite precious. If it weren't for the reputation of the Platycodon Gym as a guarantee, basically no one would be willing to take the risk of losing things by sending items through Popo Store.

Who knows if Bobo, who is your messenger, might be eaten by a spearhead or a sparrow on the way?

Unless you spend a lot of money to have BiDiao deliver it for you, it is not safe for BiBiDiao to be a messenger.

This largely eliminates Tetsuya’s idea of ​​making money from this industry.

He does not have such a great reputation or ability to guarantee everything sent out.

Although the Platycodon Gym is growing day by day in terms of economic strength and other aspects due to the existence of the Pop Shop, the premise is that before the establishment of the Pop Shop, the Platycodon Gym was already one of the famous Eight Avenue Gyms in the city.

.

"The master of Sutenkan is teaching a new batch of employees in the forest area of ​​our store. Please wait for a while."

The owner, Mr. Genjiro, poured a cup of hot tea for Tetsuya who was sitting down and explained a little bit.

"Ah, it's okay. I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait until today's training mission is completed."

Zhe also took a sip of tea and responded.

The purpose of his coming here is to let his Bi Diao consult Sutian's Bi Diao.

As for what to ask for advice, of course it would be the Breakthrough King.

Bi Diao has been stuck at the peak of Quasi-Heavenly King for nearly three months. Although he knows that it is normal to be stuck for a year and a half, Zheya is still a little anxious.

After all, Bi Diao's strength had never stagnated for such a long time before.

It can't be said to be stagnant. Although the level has not improved, Bidiao is still getting better and better in other abilities and skill mastery. In other words, it is much worse than the original rapid progress.

It is inevitable that there will be some imbalance in the mind.

Each elf has different ways of breaking through the King of Heaven, but as the same type of elf, Sutian's Bi Diao can still give a lot of useful experience.

After Tetsuya made this request to Suten yesterday, Suten agreed immediately.

Sutian was also very curious. If this little guy's Bi Diao could break through to the King of Heaven before the Silver Conference, how many people would be exclaimed.

In the second year after his debut, there was a genius trainer of a king-level elf. This is big news.

The old man and the young man exchanged a few words and then fell into silence.

The generation gap is so big that Tetsuya doesn't even know what to talk about with the nearly fifty-year-old Mr. Genjiro in front of him.

According to Aso, Mr. Genjiro has been the store manager of the main store for more than 20 years, ever since he was a child, and still is now.

Not only that, Mr. Genjiro’s father and grandfather were both store managers of the main store in the past.

To put it simply, they can be regarded as typical examples of sons inheriting their father's legacy, and they are pure members of the Platycodon Gym.

If this were not the case, Sutian would not feel comfortable leaving one of his main elves here for the other party to take care of.

"Why don't I introduce to you the general situation of cultivation in our Bobo store?"

Mr. Genjiro thought for a while, and he seemed to have some experience with these things.

"Aren't these secrets?"

Tetsuya, who was stroking his tea cup, expressed considerable interest, but he also expressed his worries.

"It's okay. What I want to talk about is not a secret. If it were a secret, I wouldn't tell you without the permission of the Suten Hall Master."

Mr. Genjiro's speech was a bit too straightforward.

This is probably the reason why he is the owner of the main store instead of the branch store owner.

This kind of personality is very good for elves, but for humans, communication is not so good.

Fortunately, Zheya didn't care about this kind of thing at all, and he soon started listening to it with interest.

It is still quite difficult to breed Bobo specifically as a messenger.

First of all, you have to make sure that it can find its way on its own during long distances.

This has already screened out quite a few Bobo.

Some Bobo who are not very smart cannot do it at all.

It may be okay for short distances, but once you cross regions, the requirements for this will become exponentially more difficult.

The second point is that Bobo's speed must be fast, that is to say, its potential must be good.

This is a must for a messenger, otherwise it would be too easy for something to happen on the road.

Although the Platycodon Gym family can afford to lose a lot of money, if things continue to happen, the Bobo store will not be able to continue to open.

More than 90% of Bobo cannot do these two things alone.

Then there are various trainings. According to Genjiro, it would be good if one out of a hundred Bobos can eventually be trained to become a messenger.

Coupled with the Bobo messengers who die every year for some reason, the main store must breed at least tens of thousands of them a year to barely support its expansion.

Zheye secretly smacked his tongue.

Good guy, ten thousand, this number is exaggerated when you think about it.

He finally understood why this place had developed into an exclusive resting spot around the main store.

You know, resting spots like this on wild roads are quite rare. Most of the wild roads are really just wild, with no people in sight at all.

The cultivation of at least 10,000 Bobos every year requires an astronomical number of human and material resources.
