Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

Yes, this is the top priority of the Leaf Town event - after the end of the Kentero Chase and the Kentero Battle, the Pokmon Games will be held non-stop from 8 o'clock tonight to noon tomorrow morning.

Dream exchange meeting!

On the broad street, in addition to the middle-aged men and young girls around Tetsuya, there were many trainers.

Without exception, they all hung some Poké Balls in the most conspicuous places.

Or walk around looking for a suitable partner and the elf you like, or find a place to stop and shout loudly.

The atmosphere in the entire Leaf Town was extremely warm.

Although it is midnight, it is as bright as day.

However, in fact, most of these trainers are not professionals.

For example, take the group of guys not far away wearing clothes that look like Pokémon.

That's a Pokémon lover called a monster fanatic.

The elves they use are basically Caracalla, Big Tongue, Armored Rhino, Nidoran and other common elves whose eggs are monster groups.

This is where the name Monster Mania comes from.

Another example is the anglers who carry fishing rods and fishing gear with them. Most of the elves they use are aquatic.

There are also jugglers who cultivate thunder balls (thunder balls), sailors in sailor uniforms, gamblers who like to command elves to use probability-based skills, and electricians who use electric elves wearing hard hats, tool belts and tool boxes, etc.

And so on and so forth.

Not to mention the most common insect catching boys and climbers.

Rather than being trainers, in Tetsuya's opinion, they are just Pokémon lovers at most.

Let’s use data as the simplest explanation.

According to the latest list of trainers released by the alliance in the new year, including the official trainers who have passed away, the number of people who can be recognized as trainers has exceeded the 150 million mark so far.

What is this concept?

Roughly speaking, the permanent population of the entire Kanto region is about 80 million.

The rest of the known areas are more or less the same.

In other words, although there are no specific statistics, but counting various regions (such as the Orange Islands, Alola, Galar, Feile region, Almia region, Oblivia region, etc.), the entire elf

The world's population is roughly between 600 and 700 million.

It is a bold assumption that there are still 100 million registered trainers alive (actually there are definitely less than that).

Basically, one out of every six or seven people is a trainer.

Under this ratio, the so-called trainer's gold content is actually not as high as imagined.

According to the information Tetsuya read at the White Cape last year, 95% of the trainers are not yet at the elite level.

That was the group of "trainers" in front of him.

Most of them have no chance to participate in the regional conference.

Let alone the regional competition, getting the badges of some weak official gyms by chance is something worth showing off to them.

Of course, compared to the remaining five or six people out of every six or seven, no matter how amateur that trainer is in Tetsuya's opinion, his ability is considered quite good.

Under this premise, the activity of exchanging spirits can be considered to be in full swing.

Rookies are pecking each other.

However, Tetsuya is somewhat out of place among them.

La Lulasi was eating energy cubes on his shoulders, and the unusually developed flame chicken stood beside him.

Wherever he went, no trainer, no matter how stupid, would make a request for exchange.

Exchange is based on equal conditions between the two parties.

Exchanging green caterpillars for Lalu silk is not called exchange, nor is it called robbery, it is called a dream.

Apart from the exchange process, along the way, Zheya saw that the shops selling elf-related items were not what he expected.

Fortunately, he has another option.

"pull"

Lalulas raised her head, looked at the familiar building and let out a cry of surprise.

What, are there any games to watch tonight?

The place where Tetsuya came now was the venue for the Kentaro vs. True Male battle in the afternoon.

In addition to serving as a battle venue, this place also serves as an exchange meeting place for a small number of elite and above trainers.

The guard guarding the door wisely opened the door and directly let Tetsuya in.

Needless to say, the effect of lalu drawing and flame chicken is still there.

Walking into the venue, the atmosphere here is not as lively as outside.

After all, everyone is a respectable person.

"Take a look at the metal film, a must-have tool for insect trainers. Don't miss it if you pass by~"

"Is anyone interested in the three-state fire elf of Ibrahimovic? This is a good player in attribute civil war~"

"The Magikarp who has evolved into Gyarados has the only way to become stronger. Of course, you must first have the ability to conquer it."

...

Although it is better, all kinds of shouts are still there.

The aroma of wine is afraid of the depth of the alley. If you don't shout, you won't gain anything.

There are exceptions.

For example, there is a circle of stalls over there.

Zheye came up curiously and took a look.

It's an elf egg.

If Zhe read it correctly, it should be Guisi's.

La Lulas frowned and pulled Tetsuya's collar a little.

Although it is still just an egg, the incompatibility between the super power system and the ghost system can already be seen.

From another perspective, it can also be explained that this ghost egg is the descendant of wild elves rather than the descendants of elves cultivated by human trainers.

Because the ghost eggs cultivated by trainers will never cause such great discomfort to super-type elves inside the eggs.

The main reason lies in the different sources of food and energy intake.

Tetsuya glanced at the No. 0 panel, then turned and left.

It's just elite level and of no use.

Seeing his decisive action, the stall owner who had just seen La Lulas and wanted to say something to him had to give up his idea.

That's right, if you already have a super power system, why do you need a ghost system, let alone interchangeability?

"You ghost egg, what elf do you want to exchange with?"

Among the onlookers, some people gradually began to ask questions.

As for why elf eggs can also enter the exchange meeting, this is entirely due to the special characteristics of elf eggs.

Who made the elf conscious and able to react when it was in the elf egg?

Therefore, generally, people still believe that elf eggs also belong to elf, and naturally they are among the objects of exchange.

"I don't like this."

After walking for a while, Lalu Lasi's voice sounded in Zheye's heart.

Zhe was silent for a moment.

"Perhaps, for some elves, this is not a good thing."

So he said.

La Lulasi nodded as if she didn't understand.

It can feel the sincerity of the trainer.

"When you grow up, you may be able to try to find the answer yourself, and you will understand better why."

Zhe also touched its little head.

There is no perfect solution in this world, especially for creatures like humans.

The alliance stipulates that they cannot be bought or sold, which to a large extent protects the rights and interests of elves.

It is difficult for you to prohibit this kind of exchange.

The flame chicken was silent on the side.

It doesn't want to think so much.

It only knows that Tetsuya and them will always be together.

That's enough.

"Let's go."

Looking at the standing flame chicken, Zhe also patted its arm, thinking that it was thinking about the same problem as La Lulas.

"Down"

The flame chicken nodded.

Looking at Tetsuya who was obsessed with bargaining with some stall owners, it consciously used its eyes to drive away the guy who somehow wanted to get up to him and ask Tetsuya if he could exchange elves.

There's nothing I can do about it, La Lulas is too conspicuous in a place like this.

This is also the reason why Tetsuya didn't think of bringing the elf out at first.

But since La Lulas wanted to come, she couldn't let the little guy's heart go cold, right?

It's not a big deal anyway.

Before Tetsuya had finished walking around half of the place, almost everyone knew that a trainer with Lalu Lass had come here, and he was not willing to exchange it.

"Hey, you..."

A very disdainful voice came.

The people around him couldn't help but turn their heads and look over, wondering who was so deserving of a beating, and he was still here.

"What about you, the boy with the Lalu Lasi?"

Yes, Zheye sighed silently.

You don’t even have to look at it, you can tell by listening to the sound that this is the second generation of the idiot elf upstart.

Reality is more magical than fiction.

There is no shortage of self-righteous guys anywhere.

But people just pointed at their noses and called him.

As a trainer who considered himself to be well-educated, Tetsuya could only respond.

"Go home and play Magikarp."

"cough"

The sound of coughing could be heard all around.

None of the trainers nearby expected that this handsome guy would speak so directly.

Among the crowd, some people also recognized Zheye's identity.

“There’s a good show to watch~”

They look like people who eat melons don't think it's a big deal.

Although this is indeed the case.

The man dressed as a rich young man suddenly blushed.

But he still remembered why he came.

"You..."

"If you don't change, don't accept it and hold it in."

Tetsuya blocked his mouth directly.

"You...do you know who I am?"

The rich young master asked "you" for a long time, but he could only hold back a ridiculous question.

Zheye said he didn't want to reply and glanced at the flame chicken.

This kind of immature guy still has room to survive in the elf world.

As long as the people in this fantasy world have a slightly inferior character, such people will never survive to adulthood.

The Flame Chicken walked up to the other party without saying a word.

A fierce flame ignited on its wrist.

The rich young man felt the scorching temperature, looked up at the flame chicken, which was nearly two heads taller than him, and swallowed hard.

"We are trainers and we should solve problems the way trainers do."

He is somewhat lacking in confidence.

The trainers around him consciously gave way to a piece of ground.

The so-called trainer's method is very simple: fight, and only the winner has the right to speak.

Of course, this does not mean that the winner must meet all the requirements of the loser.

But at least, if Tetsuya fails, he can't ignore the other party like now.

But, is it possible?

The Flame Chicken stretched out its claws and hooked at him, signaling that it was time to start.

The kid from the rich family gritted his teeth as he looked at Tetsuya who was still carrying his back, okay, you look down on people, right? He's just a top 16 guy in the Quartz Conference, I'm fine with him.

"Go ahead, Crocodile."

He sneered and sent out his elves.

Not surprisingly, they are the three water-type imperial families in the city.

"Hypercrocodile, use the water gun."

The rich young master waved his hand and launched an attack directly.

At such a close distance, he didn't believe that the other party could react.

This is the natural advantage of the water system over the fire system.

"boom"

The violent flames instantly spread from the Flame Chicken's wrists and enveloped the entire paws.

Step forward, step forward, strike out.

Simple actions contain incredibly powerful forces.

Even though the water gun of the Crocodile has a suppression effect on the flames, due to the difference in strength, with the emergence of steam, the claws of the Flame Chicken are constantly approaching the big mouth of the Crocodile.

A lot of sweat suddenly appeared on the heads of the rich kids.

Now he felt like he was in a sauna, the kind with super close range and super firepower.

The most important thing is that he is as anxious on the inside as on the outside.

He didn't understand why flames could suppress water in turn. This was unreasonable.

There was a trace of disdain in the flame chicken's eyes, that's all, it was far inferior to the one last time.

As for the water droplets splashing on the body, it is nothing at all.

"Boom"

Its feet kick out at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

"Ouch"

The powerful crocodile let out a dull scream.

Unstoppable water flowed out from the gap in its tightly closed mouth.

It was actually the Flame Chicken that kicked it directly on the lower jaw and forced it to close its mouth.

The crocodile didn't even have time to stop using the water gun.

If the mouth hadn't been so big that there were so many gaps, it would have been possible for it to become a water elf that choked on water and passed out.

If this really happened, it would probably be scrapped.

The psychological blow is often more uncomfortable than the physical pain.

But the flame chicken didn't hesitate at all.

He stepped forward, raised his knees, and a white light suddenly appeared.

A fierce whip kick left an afterimage in the air.

"hong"

The huge roar even covered up the voices of the people around him.

"Down"

The Flame Chicken moved its neck as a matter of course, then turned and walked towards Tetsuya.

In its waveguide, the crocodile had passed out.

After the smoke and dust dispersed, the rich boy withdrew the crocodile and left the scene with his face turning green and red.

This behavior actually made Tetsuya think this guy was okay.

At least I didn't blame the elf for the mistake in the first place.

He felt that this was the most reasonable rule in the elf world.

The loser exits.

As long as you have strength, all problems are not a problem.

The trainers lost sight of the excitement and gradually dispersed.

They thought that there was no way to "persuade" Zheya to exchange Lalu Lasi, so there was no need to surround him.

Time is very precious.

"Why does this thing look so familiar?"

At this moment, Tetsuya was still staring at a silver-gray stone on the stall and considering it.

"By the way, it's that thing."

He quickly remembered.

The silver-gray stone in front of me is very similar to what was found in the ruins I encountered on the way to Ziyuan Town last year.

Except that the spots it distributes are red.

"I want this thing."*2

The data source is roughly the official novel Pokemon THE ANIMATION (Takashi Suto)

Then adjusted according to a certain proportion

For example, THE ANIMATION mentioned that when Xiaozhi set off, the number of registered trainers exceeded one billion.

This is a conclusion based on the modern world background of 5.8 billion people in 1997 (at the time of publication).

As above
