Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

Perhaps it's because trainers who pass by and see this scene will ask about it, so the villagers have become accustomed to it.

“People here believe very much in natural bird divination.

Moreover, natural bird divination is very accurate, and listening to its divination has been a habit formed in our village hundreds of years ago."

So he said.

Tetsuya keenly found the key point in his words: "Since hundreds of years ago, do you mean that the natural bird of divination has never changed?"

If so, how old would this natural bird be?

Although the strength of an elf is not directly proportional to its age, for the super power system, the longer it lives, the stronger its super power will be.

It may be limited by physical weakness or aging and cannot continue to output, but it is real.

"Of course not." The villagers waved their hands quickly, "But the oldest natural bird used in fortune-telling is said to be eighty or ninety years old."

So that's it, Zheye and Xiaogang nodded in understanding.

But even so, the age of this natural bird is surprising enough.

Don't look at the way the Kyuubi just lived and was still full of vitality after living for two hundred years. In fact, even elves have a limited lifespan longer than humans, at least most of them do.

The proverb "Kyuubi lives for a thousand years, and Camille lives for ten thousand years" is enough to explain the lifespan of these two types of elves.

In addition, the previously encountered Absol, who can live for 100 years, has been recognized by humans as a long-lived Pokémon, and has been specially written into the illustrated book.

Generally speaking, the lifespan of a healthy elf without many injuries is not much different from that of humans, and may be shorter.

From this point of view, there is not much need to worry about the Flame Chicken.

Judging from the lifespan of both parties, if everything goes well, the relationship is almost the same as the front foot and the back foot.

Being strong can only slow down the rate of aging to a certain extent, but it cannot gain immortality.

In the Pokémon world, probably only those who are called mythical beasts but are actually the incarnation of the rules of the world can have the ability to live forever, which can be called a bug.

This is why almost everyone in the elf world can see elves as family members in their homes, and the growth lines almost completely overlap.

Take the fighting elves who are closest to humans as an example.

When a person begins to develop his wrist strength from the age of sixteen to the age of seventy or eighty, the powerful or strange force is basically in the same situation - either the lumbar spine is bad or the legs and feet are inflexible.

Many fighting-type dojos have gradually declined due to this reason.

Who makes the leader of his family and his elf strength continue to decline over time? Cultivating an outstanding junior is a very difficult thing.

There are very few schools that can continue to develop like Tetsuya's "Cutting the Intangible Flow".

Of course, there are also exaggerated elves with long lifespans. In addition to Nine-Tails and Cammy Turtle, there are ghost-type ones.

Anyway, humans have not figured out how long they can live, but what is certain is that they are not immortal in the true sense but just an exaggeration of their long lifespan.

After all, their food is human emotions and even souls, so it is normal for them to live longer.

Just when Xiaogang was interested in asking more questions, the resident suddenly became excited.

He quickly returned to his seat and sat down, looking motionlessly at the other side of the cliff.

It is the natural bird divination that begins.

I saw a few natural birds flying out of a hole on the opposite side of the cliff, and then stopped on a platform.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged woman walked out of the cave and onto the platform.

"Everyone, today's divination will begin soon, please be prepared.

Now let’s divine today’s weather. What will the weather be like today?”

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she looked at several natural birds. These natural birds looked at the sky and then waved their wings and made gestures.

"Is this...Pokémon semaphore?"

Zheye, who is proficient in various unpopular knowledge, quickly understood the meaning of the natural bird's movements: "Probably, sunny turns to cloudy without rain?"

"You can still do this?" Xiaogang opened his mouth and was very surprised.

It's a bit embarrassing to say that, in fact, he didn't even know there was such a thing as Pokémon flags.

Zheye nodded: "I know a little bit."

The thumb and index finger of his right hand made slight gestures.

"This method of transmitting information is usually used in maritime navigation. On the mainland, as far as I know, the Bobo store has its own set of Pokémon flags."

He explained.

Most communication methods, including but not limited to language, require the most memory ability.

As long as you can remember it, there is a high probability that it can be used.

This is quite friendly to him.

During his studies at school, he learned a lot of similar things from the library, and he wasn't tired anyway.

At this time, the middle-aged woman above also spoke: "Today is sunny and not cloudy. Even if it is cloudy, it will not rain. There is no need to bring an umbrella."

Xiaogang nodded slightly: "Has it gone through some processing? No wonder the accuracy is so high."

"Miko is very powerful." The villager raised his head proudly, "But this young trainer is also the only one in recent years who can read natural bird divination."

He looked at Tetsuya.

When Tetsuya opened his mouth to explain just now, he still didn't believe it, but the miko-sama's message was almost consistent with the other person's.

In his opinion, this is a very powerful ability.

"Miko." Tetsuya felt that this title was quite retro and very characteristic of the Johto area.

The five sisters who came to Yuan Zhu City before were actually in this kind of profession, but they were aiming for the Phoenix King, who was much more advanced.

The villagers left the canyon in twos and threes and returned to their nearby villages.

It doesn't have to rain, which means it's another busy day.

"Is it over so easily?" Xiaogang was a little disappointed.

The villager gave him a strange look: "Of course, if nothing big happens, the natural bird will only predict the weather."

Xiaogang refused to give up: "So, did the natural birds here predict any major events?"

"It was the great flood a long time ago, but only the witch knows the specific content. We just know that there is such a prophecy."

The villagers were a little impatient. He pointed at the witch above who was also preparing to leave: "You can ask the witch for more details. I have to go back to work."

With that said, he took his family and left the canyon.

Zhe also felt that Xiaogang's body had turned gray.

He patted the other party's shoulder: "It's normal. This kind of thing is also marked on the map."

"I thought I would have great experiences everywhere."

Xiaogang, who had never traveled far away, felt a little disappointed.

Zheye laughed: "How can there be such a thing? Boring is the normal state of travel. How can it be possible that big things happen everywhere we go?"

He and Xiaogang are neither Xiaozhi nor Conan. How could there be a disaster or major issue to be solved wherever they go?

If every trainer's life was so "colorful", the Pokémon world would have become a mess and impossible to survive normally.

"Let's go and ask the witch what's going on."

Zheye suggested with great interest.

He is still somewhat interested in this nearly hundred-year-old prophecy.

The natural bird has a very strange habit. After quietly watching the rising sun in the morning and offering prayers, it will spend the entire day almost motionless.

People believe that the reason why the natural bird remains motionless all day is because it is frightened by the terrible things that are predicted to happen in the future.

It is said in many areas that his right eye can see the future and his left eye can see the past.

But the predictions here over such a long time span are really quite rare.

The two of them soon arrived at the high platform of the canyon.

A being called a miko is feeding natural birds.

Tetsuya took a look and saw that there were only two yellow stripes on the waist, indicating that it was a female natural bird (males have three stripes).

The natural bird, which is as upright as a human, is all green, with white wings folded up on its chest, making the pattern on its body look like red eyes, and two long red feathers extend out from behind the bird's head.

Judging from its appearance, it really looks like a prophet.

Xiaogang stepped forward and expressed his intention.

Zhe also secretly cursed at the side: "It seems that it must be a young and good-looking big sister. Xiaogang is quite picky."

"A sneeze"

Xiaogang, who was communicating with the witch, suddenly sneezed.

"Sorry, I'm rude." His face turned red.

The witch didn't care either: "The prophecy of the flood happened a long time ago."

"At that time, my grandma was still the witch who communicated with the natural birds." She stroked the motionless natural bird beside her and said, "It must be true. After all, it and its predecessors never predicted the weather.

There have been no mistakes.”

"Didn't they say how long it would take for floods to occur?" Xiaogang asked.

The witch shook her head: "It's just that the approximate time is one hundred years from now, and maybe seven or eight years later."

"Seven or eight years." Xiaogang suddenly became decadent.

In his opinion, at that time, he had already become the gym leader of Nibi and could no longer travel, so he could not witness the truth or falsehood of this prophecy with his own eyes.

Zhe also counted the time and wondered if it was Xiaozhi who met him again.

Although he had the impression that he had never watched the relevant series, there was a high probability that Xiaozhi would be involved in such a thing at this time.

After all, he is the protagonist of the world.

The witch continued to narrate: "I firmly believe that the flood will come, but divination is never meant to give people solutions to problems.

Divination gives people courage, and it may or may not be accurate, but those who only rely on divination will be led by the divination.

Everyone's life is determined by themselves.

Although natural birds have the power to predict the future, they have no power to change the future.

The reason why it remains motionless is that although it can see into the future, it may be because the changes in the future are not what it wants."
