Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

This seems to be somewhat inconsistent with Abi's status as a trainer specializing in insects.

After all, in the eyes of many people, insect-type Pokémon are often synonymous with being weak.

In fact, this cannot be said to be prejudice.

Because most insect-type Pokémon are indeed quite weak.

If this were not the case, the green caterpillars, unicorn bugs, spinytail bugs and other insect-type elves in the forest would not be regarded as the best training targets for new trainers who are just starting out.

Those insect-catching boys and insect-catching girls have long since become powerful trainers.

The relatively low racial value of many insect-type Pokémon is one reason for this phenomenon, and another reason is due to attribute restraint.

While the insect type is resisted by seven attributes, it can only cause outstanding damage to the three types of elves: super, grass, and evil.

This attribute restraint relationship results in the insect-type Pokémon's attack surface being quite limited against other Pokémon.

Not to mention that Bug-type Pokémon themselves have very poor resistance to fire-, flying-, and rock-types.

You must know that elves with these three types of attributes are extremely popular among trainers.

In terms of combat options, insect-type Pokémon that are extremely easy to target are not a suitable choice.

Of course, this statement is somewhat utilitarian.

In fact, there are not a few people in the elf world who are passionate about insect Pokémon.

Coupled with the number of Bug-type Pokémon, there are still many Pokémon trainers who specialize in Bug-type Pokémon, perhaps even the most.

After all, Bug-type Pokémon are notoriously frugal when it comes to breeding.

As long as you don't throw money away like some giant needle bee.

And even among so many insect-type trainers, Abi is undoubtedly one of the most famous and outstanding ones today.

Known as the "Living Encyclopedia of Bug Pokémon", Abi is not only the youngest official gym leader in the Johto area, but also a talented bug Pokémon researcher with a great reputation in the field of research.

It was he who discovered and promoted the insect-type elf move "Continuous Slash", which is also one of the most famous elf move secrets in the Huipi Gym.

You must know that the use of elf moves is very particular about methods and actions, not just the simple release of energy.

The "Continuous Slash" cheats in the Hinoki Gym can help insect elves attack their opponents continuously to the greatest extent without being evaded.

Continuously stacking power to cause high damage in a row is sometimes even more troublesome than the rough combination of rounding + rolling.

The latter at least has a way to restrict it from the environment, while the former can only rely on ability to get rid of it or confront it head-on.

This is a very useful tactic in a sense.

As the current record holder for the highest number of wins in the special insect-catching competition in the Johto region, as well as the holder of the highest number of consecutive wins, Asu's status among the specialized insect trainers is self-evident.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the support of peers.

Excluding the two regions of Alola and Galar that have not yet been officially included in the alliance system, among the remaining six regions, among the eight representative gyms in each region, apart from the Hinoki Gym, the only remaining one is the United Feiyun

Carlos Baitan and Carlos Baitan are two gyms that specialize in insects.

One of their gym leaders is obsessed with art, and the other is obsessed with photography.

Although he is very strong and has a great love for insect Pokémon, the facts are unconvincing.

If it weren't for the fact that the Sinnoh region has an insect-type king, Aliu, who is supporting the scene, then Abi is probably the most popular insect-type Pokémon trainer without a doubt.

Looking at it this way, trainers specializing in insects are indeed a bit miserable.

Then again, there is definitely no shortage of powerful Pokémon among Bug-type Pokémon.

Whether it's the "gorgeous warrior of Bug-type Pokémon", Flying Mantis, or its evolved "battlefield warrior" Giant Pincer Mantis.

Or maybe things like the "I am the sun" Vulcan Moth, the "thousand-legged predator" King Centipede and its natural enemy the Flame Centipede.

Even the shedding ninja who is also known as the "Ghost Cicada" and the "Guardian Angel".

These insect elves are all quite outstanding beings.

Oh, and let’s not forget the real bully of the forest, the giant needle wasp.

Therefore, if anyone really thinks that Abi, who specializes in the insect type, is weak, it will undoubtedly prove that he is a guy who doesn't know much about Pokémon.

Again, as long as you are a gym trainer, there is no weak one (the three sisters of Hua Lan).

Tetsuya only had one thought when he looked at this gym leader who looked unusually young and was now very young.

There are so many perverts among the aborigines in the elf world.

Although it is not as good as the super perverted perverts like Sirona and Du, it is undoubtedly extremely exaggerated for Abi, who is only 24 years old, to have the strength he has now.

If Tetsuya hadn't worked hard, he wouldn't even think he could be better than these perverts.

Abi is very strange.

The young trainer in front of him is obviously a very kind guy, but why does he always feel that the other person is thinking about some impolite things?

The two of them fell into silence, staring at each other.

"Okay, Zheye, please wait for a while. I'm helping Abi build a capture device exclusive for him."

Fortunately, the existence of steel broke this embarrassment.

I saw him holding a knife-like tool and walking towards the huge stove on the other side of the open space.

"Exclusive capturing equipment?"

Zhe also blinked, quite interested in this.

"That's right."

With nothing to do, Abi was happy to chat with Zheye.

Otherwise, it would be a bit boring for him to watch as Steel works alone.

"You also know that there are two invisible nets on the inside of the general Poke Ball. If a Pokémon is hit, the net will pop out and drag the Pokémon into it. The red light is the concrete representation of this net.

."

Abi first explained the basic principles of the elf ball's operation.

Zheye nodded.

He also knew this.

"But when facing insect-type Pokémon, there are some minor problems with this Poké Ball structural design."

A Bi said very excitedly.

When he mentioned the insect elf that he was most proud of, he obviously started to talk non-stop like other trainers.

He is a guy who claims that he will never lose to others when it comes to insect-type Pokémon.

In Abi's opinion, his idea for this special equipment was simply perfect.

"Take the 'Insect Pokémon's Silent Warrior' as an example. It likes to hide in one place and remain motionless. In this case, the ball-capturing net I designed can control it and prevent it in the first place.

Escape.

Another example is the 'Insect Pokémon's Proud Warrior'. Although it is better at defense, it will not lose to anyone in terms of offensive capabilities. The ball catching net can largely protect my safety when catching it.

And like..."

His words were full of excitement, and even his face gradually turned red.

Coupled with his androgynous face...

Tetsuya shook his head, good guy, he can't see or think, he's not the great teacher of Harmono.

"Don't listen to his nonsense."

On the side, Mr. Steel, who rarely showed a speechless expression, also interrupted A Bi's bragging.

"If the Orb Silk Spider stays in place and doesn't move, why don't you just hit it with a Poké Ball? Its resistance is very poor for you.

And then, if you catch the armored chrysalis, you still have to worry about safety?

You might as well worry about whether it can break out of its shell after being caught.

Also, the flying mantis is caught in this net. Do you think everyone has the same skill as you?

How can most trainers be the opponents of the elves? Let alone the flying mantis, they can't even handle the orb silk spider..."

As Steel spoke, he carefully used the tool in his hand to cut the thin line on his hand.

That is to say, his skill in making Poké Balls is extremely high and the difficulty of making the special equipment required by A Bi is not high, otherwise he would definitely not be as distracted as he is now.

"Forehead..."

Zhe was also a little helpless.

He really didn't react immediately to the other party's names for some elves just now.

The Silent Warrior and Proud Warrior that co-authored Bug Pokémon refer to Orb Silk Spider and Armored Chrysalis.

From this point of view, as Steel said, this device is somewhat useless.

Well, if it weren't for the added value due to the steel manufacturing, it wouldn't be a pity to abandon this thing.

"That's not what it says.

You have to know that every insect-type Pokémon is a natural warrior, and their abilities are extremely powerful.

Just because it doesn't move, you can't think that it can be easily conquered.

......."

Abi looked a little aggrieved.

It seemed that he and Steel had had arguments on this issue more than once.

"Yes, yes, it's pretty good."

Steel at work responded perfunctorily.

A Bi rolled his eyes and said he didn't want to talk to the old man.

Zheya doesn't think the relationship between the two is bad, but this shows that neither of them regards the other as an outsider.

Also, considering Gang Gang's age and seniority, A Bi probably grew up under his care. Who made Huipi Town so big?

"By the way Tetsuya, are you coming to the city to participate in the Silver Tournament? Do you want to challenge the gym?"

He turned his head and looked at Zheye who was silent at the side.

"Yes." Zheye nodded quickly.

He is familiar with this routine.

I don’t know how many museum owners have said similar things to him.

"Well, let me think about it."

A Bi touched his chin.

"I may not have much free time today.

Tomorrow I have to go to the back mountain to catch elves, so the gym will be closed for the day.

What do you think about the challenge the day after tomorrow?"

"My pleasure."

Tetsuya answered decisively.

He knows a lot about how to use the back door in gym challenges.

Except for some gyms where he obediently made reservations to challenge, he came to the rest of the gyms like this.

There is no way, they are all elders or acquaintances that I know, it is really convenient.

You know, fighting against the gym leader is what many people pursue.

Although it is more difficult to obtain the badge, the documented process after success will have a great impact on a person.

Not to mention that these museum owners usually allow people to learn a lot, which is the most valuable thing.

"Okay, Ah Bi, come here and see if this talisman is what you want."

While the two were chatting, Steel over there tied a net with a poke ball to a bamboo pole and began to greet Abi.

Abi immediately ended his conversation with Zheye and ran over happily.

"Huh-huh-"

He grabbed the bamboo pole and waved it around.

"Yes, that's it!"

Abi's eyes were shining.

Zheya felt a little familiar looking at this scene.

"hiss"

He suddenly remembered something.

"No wonder I said that the insect-catching boy and the insect maniac I saw all the time in the forest seem to be missing something in their hands. How can they be missing an insect-catching net?

Without this thing, there will be no soul.”

Zhe also thought so.

The tool A Bi wields in his hand is exactly the same as the insect catching tool he made as a child in his previous life.

But for the natives of the world whose minds are full of Poke Balls, this thing is quite new.

After all, bug Pokémon are not small bugs, even green caterpillars are quite threatening.

Except for Abi, probably no one would think of using this thing to catch insect-type Pokémon.

No matter how bad a Pokémon hunter is, he won't try to get rich by catching green caterpillars.

He had a bold idea.

"I think it's great."

Zheya suddenly praised him.

A Bi's eyes were immediately attracted.

"Right, right, I'll just say this design is awesome, right?"

Obviously, Abi was very happy to have found a "kindred spirit".

Steel slapped himself on the forehead.

He suddenly felt guilty towards Da Mu.

It seems that he has made his favorite trainer stupid.

However, Tetsuya's words at the next moment made him change his mind.

"I think this thing can be vigorously promoted, and there should be many trainers who like it."

Zheye said to Abi with a smile.

"Promote it?"

A Bi was stunned.

He had only asked Steel to help him make this thing out of his own experimental ideas, but he had never thought about it.

"Yes, you see, the existence of this... insect catching net will make more people fall in love with insect Pokémon, and the group of insect trainers will further grow with the help of this device."

Zhe also started his own journey of deception.

It can't be said to be deceiving.

After all, judging from the situation in the game and animation, even Zhe didn't mention it, and Abi in the future would probably think of this step.

Listening to the blueprint drawn by Zheye, Abi was obviously moved.

After all, he is also a gym leader.

Although he doesn't pay much attention to business aspects because he is too young and obsessed with bug Pokémon, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand.

It's just that due to the natural disadvantages of Huipi Town, he couldn't do anything if he wanted to.

Abi never expected that something he made casually would be of such great value to Zheye.

He unconsciously turned his eyes to Steel.

Steel narrowed his eyes and looked at Zheye again.

"I think it's good. You can find time to chat with him."

Finally, with both of them looking quite happy, Steel nodded.

"Then Master Abi, how about you take me with you when you go to the back mountain tomorrow? Let's see how effective this insect catching net can be."

Zhe also made a request.

Abi agreed immediately.

He is also very curious.

This is one of the reasons why Tetsuya feels that people in the elf world are very nice.

At least compared to the previous life, the people here are relatively simple-minded.

Especially since you don’t have to worry about burning bridges across rivers.

"Being a business plan and middleman, I can get a little commission no matter what."

Zheye has already begun to think about specific plans.

The first step to making money is to start with the insect catching boy.
