Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

An hour later, the results arrived as promised.

Not surprisingly, Tetsuya successfully became the champion of this insect catching competition by virtue of the dragonfly with its acceleration characteristics.

Standing on the high platform receiving the award, he looked very calm.

Next to him, Lei Si came in second place by one move. He caught an elite-level giant-clawed mantis that is extremely rare in the wild.

If placed at any other time, Lei Si's achievement would definitely be enough to become the champion. Even the ancient giant fly could not compete with the rarity and strength of the Giant Pincer Mantis.

But the acceleration characteristic’s bonus to Dragonfly’s score is really too high.

Not to mention the official judgment that this dragonfly is probably qualified to be a quasi-king.

Regarding this, Lei Si looked very unhappy with a gloomy face.

As for the third place, it was a passerby who caught a grass-knotted lady in the form of a sandy coir raincoat.

This kind of elves evolved from the knot grass in the Sinnoh region have three forms: leaves, sand and gravel, and garbage. They are insect attributes + grass attributes / ground attributes / steel attributes respectively.

And if you can find a sand-shaped grass lady in a forest environment like a natural park, you can imagine the good luck of this passerby.

After all, when the knot grass evolves, it wraps its body with the materials around it and evolves into different forms. In a natural park where almost all leaves are leaves, the probability of evolving into a sand and gravel form is very low.

Coupled with the regional reasons, it is reasonable for him to finish third.

After receiving the useless trophy, Zheya came to the backstage.

This is where rewards are released.

"Then, the championship reward of this insect catching competition is a quality 80 Sunstone, please accept it;

In addition, you have the right to choose one captured elf to tame, and we will return the rest to the nature park.”

The staff politely handed a wooden box to Tetsuya and took out three marked Poké Balls.

Zhe also looked at it and pointed: "Then, give me that."

The staff member who was about to reach out for Dragonfly’s Poké Ball was stunned for a moment: “Are you sure it’s that one and not this one?”

"That's right." Zheye smiled and nodded.

The staff quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll give it to you right away."

He was secretly surprised.

This is the first time this has happened since the Bug Catching Conference has been held so many times.

After all, contestants cannot determine the scores of the elves captured by other opponents, and the best ones are often submitted for judgment.

Could it be that in this trainer's opinion, that elf is more valuable than the dragonfly with acceleration characteristics?

The staff was unimaginable anyway.

This quasi-king's accelerating dragonfly can even be called the best Pokémon to appear at the Bug Catching Tournament in the past twenty years.

If the nature park had not had strict regulations since its establishment, this dragonfly would have been captured by one of their own people.

Yes, of course the nature park officials are aware of the existence of this rare dragonfly.

But they didn't expect that someone would actually catch it. To be precise, it would be several years faster than they expected.

The main reason is that the acceleration characteristics cannot be seen by just a short observation with the naked eye. The first target of the average trainer should be the ancient giant fly.

The Ancient Giant Fly, which possesses primitive power, is a very outstanding flying Pokémon, and its strength is not too low among Bug-type Pokémon.

The organizers thought that they would have to wait at least until this dragonfly evolved into an ancient giant fly before anyone would capture it and bring it to the bug-catching convention.

They are also prepared to lose a "property".

Jian Zhe also left with the elf ball. After the staff distributed the rewards for the second and third place, they hurried to their boss's office.

"You mean, he took the capworm away."

The middle-aged man sitting in the office chair asked with a frown.

The staff replied respectfully: "Yes."

"I understand." The middle-aged man nodded, "Don't tell anyone about this for now, I have other plans;

Also, let’s put those two elves back into the nature park, it will be a good stunt later.”

"clear."

The staff member responded and walked out of the office.

The middle-aged man kept banging on the table.

The cap insects in the Hezhong area are certainly good, but they are definitely less valuable than that dragonfly.

"Speaking of which, when we first reached a cooperation agreement with Hezhong, where did these snails and smallmouth snails come from? It seems that they were captured during Team Plasma's operation?"

The middle-aged man rubbed his temples.

As he got older, his memory became a little less useful, but that was probably the case, and he was too lazy to look through the thick records.

Forget it, no matter what, this is always a good thing.

"Let's report it to the boss and see if we can contact him to make friends or something." The middle-aged man dialed the number.

On the road back to Manjin City.

Hutao said: "Congratulations, I didn't expect you to win the championship of the insect catching competition so easily. This is not an easy thing.

By the way, can you show me your dragonfly? I thought it was quite cute when it was young."

"I didn't choose that dragonfly." Tetsuya said with a smile.

"Ah?" Hutao was stunned, "Then you didn't take the elf with you?"

Zheye smiled mysteriously: "Take it away."

As he said that, he took out a locked elf ball.

Since the number he can carry has reached the upper limit, he can't open it now.

Before the illustrated system is updated, you can only go to the Elf Center to transfer it away.

"It's a Unova, and it suits me better."

Tetsuya didn't hold back and told the walnut directly what was inside.

"The snail? I remember its evolution was the knight snail. It was really impressive.

But it also needs a small mouth snail with the same or even better qualifications to be of value.

Compared to that dragonfly, a single individual seems to be quite different.

And is the qualification of this cover insect as high as that of the Quasi-King of Heaven?"

Hutao frowned and expressed his opinion.

She was really thinking about Tetsuya.

Anyone else would have already laughed at his choice.

"It's okay, it's okay, I know." Zheya said haha ​​and prepared to muddle through.

Mainly because it's too cumbersome to explain.

Hu Tao didn't continue to persuade her. These days, no one has a secret.

Tetsuya asked: "By the way, Sister Hutao, do you know of any way to increase the number of elves you carry?"

He still doesn't want his elf to live away from him.

Although this will be a lot tiring, it will be more fulfilling.

Hutao: "How many do you carry now?"

"Eight, nine if you include this one."

Hu Tao glanced at him in surprise: "It seems that you are doing really well in Guandong."

Tetsuya chuckled.

Hu Tao shook her head angrily. She felt that this handsome little brother was really not very cute: "Of course there is a way, and it is very simple for you."

Tetsuya stared at Hu Tao with his eyes full of curiosity.

Hutao failed to block the attack.

Hutao played GG: “I’m convinced.

All you need to do is apply to the City Alliance as an honorary resident of Manjin City.

I remember that you can increase the carrying limit in this region to twelve, but this is also the maximum number, unless you can become the regional champion.

Then you apply for a cross-regional approval, so that you can go around in a circle and be able to carry twelve in each region."

I have to say that Hu Tao is really quite knowledgeable.

Zheya just raised his question, and she immediately thought of a solution.

This method seems simple, but in fact few people pay attention to it.

The main reason is that if you can obtain the status of an honorary resident of a big city, you will have to be a king-level trainer regardless of your strength.

At that time, basically, you did not need to be an honorary resident to apply to carry twelve elves, and it was directly applicable to the entire alliance.

To put it simply, the strong one cannot be used, and the weak one cannot be used.

This method can be used in the special case of Tetsuya.

Zheye slapped his head, and you asked him why he didn't think of it: "Okay, thank you Sister Hutao, I'll contact you later."

In this way, it won't be a problem to conquer the elves later.

As for the money it costs to cultivate, is that a problem?

The Sun Stone that was just awarded for winning the prize is worth tens of millions.

With Tetsuya's current strength, making money is actually very easy.

It's just that most of the time, there are some hidden prices to pay, so Zhe doesn't like making quick money or big money very much.

After all, competitions of this size are relatively rare.

But the good news is that when participating in the competition, Zheya had already seen several good insect-type specialized trainers carrying the same insect catching net as Abi.

According to the design of the three parties, it should be a preliminary promotion.

It won't be long before Tetsuya can proudly say that he is a billionaire, even though he was not one at the beginning.

At least it's double digits.

The two of them walked back to the center of Manjin while talking and laughing.

After saying goodbye at an intersection, Tetsuya returned to the elf center.

After talking to Bi Diao, he operated on an instrument in the corner. The originally locked Gaigai Poke Ball was opened, and Bi Diao's luxury ball was locked.

After letting the electric dragon and the capeworm recover at Miss Joy's place, Tetsuya rushed back to the training ground of the hotel without stopping and opened a small independent room.

"Flame Chicken, come out."

Zheye first took protective measures.

Then the lidworm was released.

This is very necessary.

After all, the way he conquered the cap insects was not a regular one.

So it is very likely that it will attack itself when it comes out.

But contrary to Tetsuya's expectation, the Gaigai insect did not put on a defensive posture after coming out.

"Hello?" Zheye tried to say hello.

The frog nesting in the corner nodded hesitantly and responded.

Tetsuya roughly guessed the reason for this.

Presumably, the worm was not completely unconscious in the dragonfly's nest just now, and was still conscious.

It considers itself its savior.

It can't be said that it's wrong, after all, Zheya did save it from the brink of death.

In the dragonfly's case, the ultimate fate of the hyacinth can only be to become food.

Zheya was still very happy about this.

In this way, the difficulty of conquering it by yourself becomes much easier.

"You're feeling better now, but you're probably still a little hungry. Why don't you eat something first?"

Zheya kindly took out a few flat cherry fruits.

Looking at the flat cherry fruit that was half the size of his own body, the worm swallowed unconsciously.

It can't remember the last time it ate fruit.

About two months ago?

He never imagined that his life would be so different.

It used to live in a cold zone and had a large population. The boss, Knight Snail, was also the most handsome boy in the nearby area.

Not only do their tribe own a bunch of fruit trees, they can also go next door to eat some meat from time to time.

It's just that the opponent's boss, the agile insect, is not easy to deal with.

Every time they finish eating, the other party will always come to harass them.

But it's not a big problem.

Because his boss is far more powerful than his opponent.

Although the opponent can always run away with speed, it cannot change the nature of the loser.

However, since a group of humans came to the house, everything has changed.

The knight snail, who was originally incredibly powerful in the eyes of the worm, was cut into pieces by the sword of the elf named Commander Cleaver released by the opponent.

The rest of the evolved knight snails rushed forward to take revenge, but to no avail.

The devil only used one knife again, and all the knights and snails were dead.

The group of hyacinthids became captives.

They have almost no fighting ability and are unable to resist.

The worm quickly passed out.

When it woke up, it saw a roof as white as snow.

It is worth mentioning that the two nouns snow and roof are learned and understood by the cape insects by listening to human language.

Only then did it realize that the icy stuff covering the place where it had been living was called snow.

The capworm and its companions are kept in a small cage, with each individual having very little room to move around.

However, the food at that time was quite good, and there were enough fruits.

Although there are no small-mouthed snails, the hyacinthids have gradually become accustomed to such a life.

It does not have to worry about safety and the comfort of finding food, so it obediently obeys the words of these humans.

But soon, the worm found that its space for activities was getting larger and larger, and there were fewer and fewer partners around it.

Those friends who were taken away by humans did not come back!

Gaigai Chong immediately became panicked.

Because it knows that this means death, and it was like this in the wild before.

The capworm began to chew desperately on the bars of the cage. When it couldn't bite anymore, it spit out acidic liquid to corrode the cage.

But its actions were in vain, and instead attracted the attention of these humans.

"What is this guy doing, trying to escape?"

"Don't be ridiculous, how could this special insect cage be opened by an elf like the Gaigai insect?"

"That's right, but the doctor said there's not much material left, so let's grab some more."

"That's all there is of the hyacinthids nearby. Can the doctor be replaced by a small-mouthed snail?"

They communicated unscrupulously and did not pay attention to the capworm at all.

The worm is desperate.

It doesn't want to wait to die.

Just then, a human wearing white clothes came in.

Everyone bowed down: "Doctor."

The man named Doctor nodded and glanced at the cage: "This material has good vitality. That's it for today. I hope it can last a few more days."

Without any further instructions from him, someone caught the worm.

The capeworm tried its best to bite the elf that caught it, but its teeth were broken and painful.

This elf, which is very similar to Commander Cleaver, has an extremely strong body.

Then the lidworm passed out.

When he woke up again, Gaige Chong only felt that his body was half numb and half hot.

It looked around in a panic, and saw that they were all people in white clothes.

"The material is sober and has no rejection symptoms."

"Double resistance data increased, and the body shed its skin."

"The cassette fit is 90%, and general attribute embedding is complete."

Human mouths speak words that the worms cannot understand.

A burst of severe pain came, and Gaigai fell into coma again.

Over the course of the next unknown number of days, the worm began the process of falling into coma and waking up over and over again.

Its idea is very simple, it doesn't want to die and wants to avenge the patriarch.

But gradually, Gaigai got tired.

"This capworm is really special. It has survived until now."

"Isn't this a good thing? I hope it survives all the tests so that we can rest."

"Dudududu"

A shrill alarm sounded.

"The physical signs of the material continue to decline, and rejection is suspected."

"Modify the storage location and transfer it from the fork above the head to the hands."

"The rejection reaction has weakened, but the material's body is being damaged by unknown factors, and the physical signs continue to decline."

"Add fire cassette materials."

"Energy resistance data has changed and physical signs are stable."

The comatose Gaigai felt as if his body had been torn apart and then closed again.

Darkness filled its mind.

"Wind Speed ​​Dog, jet flames."

In a daze, Gaigai Chong only heard a voice full of righteousness.

Continuous explosions filled its ears.

"Quick, there is an elf experimental subject here, send it to Joey for treatment."

The owner of this voice seemed to be worried about himself, Gaigai Chong thought.

I don't know how much time passed, but it felt that its scarred body was getting warmer.

Is it burning again? The caterpillar is a little numb and it is used to it.

But that's not the case this time.

The worm, whose body was gradually recovering, opened its eyes.

It's still a white roof.

Only this time, a big round elf was looking at it with a smile.

"lucky~"

Gaigai Chong remembers what the other party called him.

"I finally woke up and seems to be recovering well. What a lucky child."

A female human stood next to the other person and said to the Gaigai insect.

It's different from that upright voice, but they are both kind.

"Is this the last gallworm? The rest have recovered?"

"Well, but do we really want to send these two groups out?"

"Their original territory has changed to a new owner, and it will be difficult for them to survive without the leadership of the Knight Snail and the Agile Bug.

Nature parks are a great breeding ground for them."

It’s something I don’t understand again, but can the small-mouthed snail be eaten? This key question was on the mind of the worm.
