Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"Tsk, you are so lucky."

Regarding this, both Xiaogang and Nobuhiko expressed envy.

Although participating in the Dragon Ascension Ceremony does not necessarily mean that you can enter the Dragon Cave in Yanmo City, with Zheye's strength and potential, they do not think that Zheye cannot enter the top ten and win the spot.

Even if the allure of dragon elves is so powerful that many trainers want to participate in the Dragon Ascension Ceremony every year, this is the same.

Moreover, the level of obtaining tokens will wipe out a considerable number of trainers.

There are not that many king-level elves, but Tetsuya's elves are still very strong.

After entering the dragon's lair, if you want to impress the proud and powerful dragon elves and gain their recognition, in addition to being strong enough, dragon teeth and dragon scales will undoubtedly be of great help.

They didn't have any big ideas about entering the dragon's lair.

Considering the background and strength of the two of them, it would not be easy to subdue a good dragon elf, but it wouldn't be that difficult either.

Zhe also remembers very clearly that in the breeding room of the Nibi Gym in Xiaogang's home, there were two eggs of elves with dragon attributes in their final form, namely the Jaw Ant and the Heart Scale Treasure.

Especially the latter.

At present, the Heart Scale Treasure has only found signs of life in the Alola region. Its final form, the Staff Tail Scale Ankylosaurus, is considered to be an elf on the same level as Kuai Long in Kanto and Banguiras in Johto, which is often said to be the accurate one.

god.

If it weren't for Nibi Gym's huge network of contacts and business contacts as the old Eight Avenue Gym in Kanto, such elves would not appear in the breeding room of Nibi Gym.

After all, the compatibility between the Dragon + Fighting Ankylosaurus and the rock-type Nibi Gym is quite average.

In Kanto, the value of Alola's Ankylosaurus may be much higher than that of Kuailong.

But even if he had a dragon-type elf at home, Xiaogang didn't think about breeding a staff-tailed scale armored dragon by himself.

"My interest in becoming a trainer is average, and my talent is not very good.

If we really want to cultivate him, Jiro may be more suitable than me."

That's what Xiaogang said.

Zhe also felt that the styles were indeed the same, and Xiaogang did tend to approach unreliable martial arts at times.

I haven't officially become the gym leader yet, so I'm thinking of passing the job on to my younger brother.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as a deep brotherhood.

"Jiro's talent is indeed good."

However, Zheya still agreed with Xiaogang's statement.

During the time when Xiaogang was captured by his grandfather for special training, he and Jiro had a lot of exchanges, and they could even talk a lot.

No matter how you look at it, Jiro's talent as a trainer is extremely outstanding.

Even though he has not yet obtained the formal qualification to cultivate elves, his performance in "taking care of" the gym elves is extremely outstanding.

Otherwise, why would Wu Neng be so cheerful all day long?

My eldest son has a good talent as a nurturing family. He is barely ranked among the top five in the Kanto League among the younger generation. He is also good friends with a young man who has more potential;

His second son has shown extremely high talents related to being a trainer, and is the perfect candidate to inherit the gym's business.

I don’t know how many people in the Kanto region have complained about Nibi Gym’s good luck behind their backs.

If they knew that Jiro in the future could take a few hits from Joey's Latias, they might be even more upset.

As for Nobuhiko, as a real king-level trainer, as long as he comes to make a request, the Yulong clan in Yanmo City will still be happy to open the door to the dragon cave for him.

After all, there are no contradictions or conflicts between the two parties. On the contrary, Ah Si's Azure Gym has a good relationship with them.

Of course, Nobuhiko also needs to pay a corresponding price, such as doing a little help or something.

But Nobuhiko, who loves fighting elves, obviously doesn't have much interest in dragon elves.

After all, one of his idols, Shiba, had used fighting-type elves to beat the elves of Longtianwangdu more than once, although he did not win in the end.

But he seems to have forgotten one thing, there are not many elves in the crossing...dragon type.

And Shiba can't defeat Du's absolute ace Kuailong in a v-1 match.

From this aspect, dragon elves do have unique strength, but the price is a somewhat exaggerated growth cycle and the ultra-high level required to evolve to their final form.

Even though it was Du, before Kuailong had grown up, his trump card was still the fire-breathing dragon, one of the three imperial families in the Kanto region.

The food on the table disappeared at a crazy speed while everyone was talking and laughing.

Xiaogang doesn't eat much, but Tetsuya and Nobuhiko are two big eaters.

"Pa"

Nobuhiko put the empty bowl on the table proudly: "It's okay. I'm seventy percent full. I have to exercise in the afternoon and don't eat too much."

Xiaogang silently twitched the corners of his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, Nobuhiko had just eaten at least five times as much as he had eaten.

Are all fighters so good at eating?

Seeing that Tetsuya's appetite was not inferior to Nobuhiko's, Xiaogang was a little confused.

"Xiao Gang's craftsmanship is really great."

Adhering to the principle of not wasting, Zheye finished the last bit of food and collapsed on the chair with satisfaction.

He is worthy of being the big brother who has taken care of his younger brothers and sisters since childhood. He has nothing to say about his life.

It's been a long time since Tetsuya had eaten such a rich meal outdoors.

"Then Brother Nobuhiko, we won't disturb your training anymore."

Soon, Tetsuya, who had packed everything, said goodbye to Nobuhiko.

Nobuhiko was a little surprised: "Aren't you going to train here for a while? I think Eluredo is very suitable for training here just now."

"Time is a bit tight. I plan to attend the Dragon Ascension Ceremony first before disturbing you."

Zheye replied as well.

Nobuhiko nodded clearly: "Yes."

Judging from the speed at which Tetsuya challenges the gym, collecting badges is not a problem for him at all.

Compared to having to run around for various things in Kanto, Tetsuya puts more emphasis on improving the strength of his partners when traveling in Johto.

The training in the Valley of the Wind was like this, and the training in Leibo Mountain in the future will be the same.

"Well, see you next time, Nobuhiko-nii/Nobuhiko-senpai."

Xiaogang and Tetsuya waved to Nobuhiko, and then disappeared into the dark cave passage with a few elves.

After watching the two people leave, Nobuhiko twisted his neck and moved his legs.

"Then let's start our special training."

"roar--"

The elves surrounding him made enthusiastic noises.

...

Four days later.

"Ah~"

At the second exit of Leibo Mountain near Kaji Town, two young men walked out of the cave and stretched their bodies lazily in the face of the bright sun.

The short life underground obviously made Zheya and Xiaogang feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately for Xiaogang, his grandfather often took him underground for training.

Zhe is not so good.

Being accustomed to the air of Viridian Forest, he was a little depressed about staying in the dark underground for five full days.

If they hadn't gone the wrong way yesterday, they would have come out long ago.

The trainers around him all looked at him with kindness and envy.

The Flame Chicken and Bogaman beside Tetsuya undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention again.

In comparison, the Longlong Rock next to Xiaogang is not so conspicuous.

After all, matters related to the evolution of communication are gradually becoming more and more popular, and it is not uncommon for the Rumble Stone to evolve into Rumble Rock.

"Let's go, I don't know if I can finish challenging the gym this afternoon."

Zheya was also used to this kind of gaze, so he took the Flame Chicken back to the Poké Ball and only Pogaman was left, he greeted Xiaogang and said.

"Senior Liu Bo is quite responsible and will accept challenges most of the time. It is more likely that you will not be able to make an appointment this afternoon."

Xiaogang read the manual and answered Zheye's questions very rigorously.

Different from normal gyms, as the leader of the Kaji Gym, Liu Bo in the winter did not accept any gym apprentices to help him with the verification of gym battles.

As long as they go to the Kaji Gym to fight, they will face this powerful old man without exception.

Although there are clear level restrictions for the elves fighting in the gym, Liu Bo's own trainer level and abilities are placed there, so most trainers cannot win from him.

Even though there are not many trainers who are recognized and get badges.

The name Liu Bo in Winter is not only because of his achievements in ice elf training, but also because of his character.

"Don't worry, there is always a way."

Zheya is quite confident about this.

He had met Liu Bo before and felt that the old man was not as difficult to get along with as rumored.

Of course, it may also be because of the care of Dr. Oak, Dr. Yamanashi, and Grandpa Pokémon.

Now we have to add steel.

These people, including Kikuko, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Kanto region, were very good friends when they were young.

"By the way, is it true that Uncle Liu and Uncle Xia have a grudge?"

On the way to Kaji Town, Zheye inquired about the gossip with great interest.

Although Xia Bo's current disciple Kajiyama has a good relationship with him, Kajiyama will not gossip about his teacher.

Xia Bo may seem funny, but he is actually a grumpy old man.

According to Kajiyama, he was often beaten violently by Xia Bo during training.

The violence of the fire element was perfectly reflected in Xia Bo.

Just like how the harshness of the ice system manifested itself in Liu Bo.

Xiaogang didn't have the same scruples as Kajiyama, but as the eldest son of Nibi Gym, he did understand the grudges between these two powerful veteran trainers.

"It should be true."

Under Zheye's gaze, Xiaogang nodded slowly.

"But that was a long time ago. The two seniors met at an alliance conference. It was not a major competition like the King's Challenge."

he added.

"That time, Senior Xia Bo won the victory, and Senior Liu Bo's main elf seemed to have received a lot of damage, so the two had some grudges."

It's really uncommon for trainers to have enemies due to battles.

After all, everyone knows that the battle between elves is ever-changing, and it is impossible to ask the other party to let go of their elves, otherwise it will be easy to ask for trouble.
