Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

I was lying on the chair on the deck, enjoying the sea breeze, and occasionally a few long-winged gulls and large-billed gulls flew by in the black night sky.

They are the elves of the sailors on the deck, responsible for long-distance vigilance.

There are many of their aquatic elves scattered in the waters around the ship, such as stinging jellyfish and giant-winged flying fish.

After all, the people who boarded the ship were all rich and powerful, and if something happened to it, the reputation of the St. Anno would be ruined.

It is said that the ship owner spends a lot of money every year to hire a king who is good at water and several quasi-kings to guard the ship.

I don’t know if it’s true. After all, no one has ever seen a heavenly king take action, but quasi-kings have seen a few.

Yawning, Zheya felt a little tired.

I looked at the time and saw that it had just passed not long ago, so I asked the waiter on the side for a fishing rod.

When he reached the specially planned area, he started fishing.

As for the problem that there are no elves around, Tetsuya said that if you catch an elf, you can choose to conquer it yourself, or you can ask the trainer next to you to drive the elf back to the sea.

There is one elite-level trainer and two outstanding ordinary-level trainers guarding a fishing area, so there will basically be no problems.

After all, it is not very realistic for you to pull up very powerful elves by yourself. Most of the elves that come up are carp kings, giant claw crabs, horned goldfish and the like.

If someone could really pull up the 6.5-meter-tall Gyarados weighing 235 kilograms, Tetsuya could only express his admiration.

Let alone Gyarados, he felt that it was unrealistic for him to pull up a Goldfish King. With an average weight of nearly 40 kilograms and the elf's own strength, he couldn't physically fight against a fighting elf, so how could he possibly pull him up?

It is precisely for this reason that the ocean is always an unknown place for people.

No one knows how many elves survive deep under the sea.

Without saying much, Zheye threw the fishing rod into the sea and floated on the sea with the waves. He yawned and waited boredly for the elf to take the bait.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes...

Time passed gradually, and there was no movement from the fishing rod.

An old man next to him who was also fishing in the sea saw that Zheya had not caught an elf for so long but was still patient, so he started chatting with him.

"Young man, don't you worry if you can't catch the elf?"

"It's okay. I'm not here to catch Pokémon. The purpose is to enjoy fishing."

Tetsuya, who was holding the fishing rod in one hand and drinking a drink in the other, replied.

"Haha, it's rare to see young people as patient as you." The old man smiled angrily and ate a candy by the way.

"The old man is here for vacation?"

After idle time, Zhe also started chatting.

"Yeah, my kids gave me this boat ticket and said they wanted me to travel and relax.

I think they are just too busy and don't want to worry about me, an old man.

Fortunately, my granddaughter also came on board to play with me recently, otherwise it would have been a bit boring."

The old man looks very serious on the outside, but his words reveal a childishness and kindness.

"I think you are enjoying yourself, old man." He also joked as he saw the old man wearing a fancy beach suit.

"Ha, this old man works out and fishes every day, so he is healthy.

I saw him chatting with an old lady yesterday."

An uncle next to him heard their conversation and jumped in with a smile, and started teasing the old man.

"I can't tell that the old man is getting stronger and stronger."

"Hahahahaha." All the fishing people around laughed.

"He is afraid that his wife will find out and scold him."

Another uncle said with a smile as if he knew the old man's situation.

"Go, go, how old are you? Don't talk nonsense." The old man motioned to the uncle to go and play.

Generally speaking, people who come to fish are older men, and most young people and women are not particularly interested in this somewhat boring activity.

Therefore, the communication between everyone is relatively subtle and steady. After all, no one knows each other, so we still need to maintain our image.

But as soon as Tetsuya started the joke, the rest of the conversation completely fell apart.

Especially after knowing that Tetsuya is not even 17 years old, I feel more relaxed.

It was about the same age as their own children, maybe a little smaller, and they all made fun of Tetsuya.

He repeatedly expressed that he couldn't bear it, and that the ability of middle-aged and elderly men to gossip was even better than that of women.

From time to time, people nearby would catch elves and show off, causing others to laugh and scold them.

Tetsuya didn't gain anything in the next two hours or so. He caught two novice carp kings and threw them back into the sea.

After all, elves like Magikarp are known as the weakest and most pitiful elves in the world. They have basically no strength and speed. They have no advantages other than their tenacious vitality that can be seen everywhere.

There may not be even one Magikarp in the entire river that can evolve into Gyarados.

He also received a lot of good-natured ridicule.

Of course, I didn't take it to heart. Which fisherman hasn't been "blessed" by the people next to him that fishing for the carp all day is good luck.

"Ding dong~"

A beep sounded from the watch, indicating that the care of the three little guys was completed.

Tetsuya said goodbye to the uncles and uncles around him, and when asked by them, he said that he would come often this week, and then he got up and left.

After he left, everyone was still chatting happily. Suddenly someone asked: "That young man just now is a nice guy. Do you know which one he is from?"

"It seems that this Kanto Gym gathering is here on behalf of Nibi Gym. Lao Fu, if you know Wu Neng, you can ask him."

The mentioned man named Lao Fu replied casually: "It seems to be a trainer invested by Wu Neng's eldest son. He also mentioned it to me before, saying that it is good at cultivating talents."

"What, are you interested in finding a son-in-law?"

The people next to me joked with the person who just asked the question.

"But while we're at it, whoever dares to marry my daughter must beat me first."

"Hahahahahaha." Everyone laughed.

Then they all changed the topic in a tacit understanding.

The old man who asked the question first shook his head and stood up: "Everyone, I have to leave first. My granddaughter is here to see me."

"Okay, you should go back and rest first. It's not good to have the wind blowing on the deck at night." Everyone said goodbye.

"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow. Don't let anyone run away. Let's see who has better skills."

The old man slowly walked towards the cabin with his hands behind his back.

A woman with blond waist-length hair also walked quickly to help him, "Grandpa seems to be in a good mood today."

"Met a nice guy.

I would be happier if you stayed on the boat a little longer to play with me."

The woman coquettishly said, "Hey, grandpa, didn't you say that Dr. Omu has something to do with me?"

I'll come and play with you when I'm done."

After saying that, he smiled slyly and said, "Besides, you are alone on the boat and there is no grandma to look after you. Aren't you very happy?"
