Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

The canyon where the Three Dragons Trial is located in the wild near Yanmo City is a large rock and soil area.

As Xiao Chun walked to the other side, a strange rocky place soon appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Boulder rock field.

This is the name of this place.

A long time ago, this place was originally an open-pit mine.

Later development was also very simple.

Due to depletion of resources due to over-exploitation, the Boulder Rock Field was abandoned about a hundred years ago.

Except for new trainers who occasionally want to capture rock-based and ground-based Pokémon, basically no one will come here.

This is especially true whenever the Dragon Ascension Ceremony comes.

Due to the special nature of the internal environment of the boulder rock field, it is often used as a battleground for foreign trainers participating in the Dragon Ascension Ceremony.

New trainers are not so bold to enter during this time period.

Even the aftermath of battles between quasi-kings would be unbearable for elves who have just left their infancy, let alone inexperienced trainers.

"Then let's start drawing lots."

Standing in a small open space nearby, Xiao Chun took out a pile of wooden signs very resolutely.

"The wooden cards are numbered from 1 to 43. The trainer numbered 1 will fight against the trainer numbered 43, and so on. The trainer who draws the wooden card numbered 22 will directly enter the next round."

She explained the elimination rules simply and clearly.

No one expressed a different opinion.

The trainers present all knew their identities.

In the final analysis, the opening of the Dragon Ascension Ceremony to the outside world is just to give them an opportunity.

As for the rules, they should be more or less the same, but the requirements cannot be as stringent as those of the regional conference.

Otherwise, the Dragon Ascension Ceremony of the Yulong Clan could not be held for half a month. This is not a situation that people want to see.

Didn’t you see that it’s because there are so many training members this year and their strength is high, so the other party directly moved the Three Dragons Trial?

Then it’s time to catch a pair and eliminate them.

This efficiency and speed are all aimed at getting things done quickly.

Otherwise, round-robin points competition would be much more reasonable than drawing lots.

If you draw lots, you will be less lucky. The trainer who specializes in the fire element will draw an opponent who specializes in the water element.

Even if the former is stronger in terms of strength, there is probably no way to win.

Stronger here refers to the same level of strength. If there are king-level elves, that's a different matter.

However, there are really not so many king-level ones.

Looking at the 43 trainers present, only less than half of them have king-level elves in their hands.

Among them, there are two or more that can only be counted on two hands.

You know, this is the Dragon Ascension Ceremony, and the final reward is very likely to be a dragon spirit.

The trainers who came to participate were not necessarily the best in each region, but they were at least famous people from several cities near their hometown.

The rarity of the King of Heaven is evident.

"In this case, there is some luck involved in getting into the top ten."

Many trainers have come to this conclusion, and their eyes gradually become serious.

Especially those powerful trainers who were originally confident of entering the top ten.

Obviously, if there are 43 people, it will take two rounds of battles to determine the top ten.

Looking at the surrounding area, it doesn't look like there is an elf center to provide recovery.

This means that if you encounter a strong opponent in the first round and get into a fierce battle, you will most likely be picked off by your opponent in the second round.

At the same time, there were also many trainers who had struggled to pass the Three Dragons Trial with happy faces.

This is definitely a good thing for them.

Whether he can conquer the dragon elves is another matter. At least there is hope of entering the dragon's lair, which is much better than what he originally pursued.

"Let's start. Follow the order of clearance in reverse order. Tetsuya, you're the last one."

Xiaochun raised her chin slightly.

A middle-aged man who looked like a climber immediately walked up eagerly.

"No. 8"

"No. 19"

"No. 33"

Number plates were taken away one after another.

The look on everyone's face is different.

Confidence, helplessness, determination...

The same thing is that no one is timid before fighting.

After all, he already has this level of strength, and he will not lack the qualities that a normal alliance trainer should have.

No one can predict their own victory until it is over. This is the motto of trainers.

The drawing of lots went very quickly, and in less than three or four minutes, only Matsumoto and Tetsuya were left.

Matsumoto, who was wearing a black robe, came to Xiaochun and took one of the last two wooden plaques without any hesitation.

"No. 7"

Xiao Chun reported the number with a nonchalant expression.

"Damn, what kind of luck is this!"

A certain trainer's voice came from the corner.

Because until just now, the bye draw representing No. 22 has not appeared.

Matsumoto and Matsushita made the wrong choice with a 50% probability.

Many trainers silently rolled their eyes.

It was indeed good luck, but their luck was better.

Because although passing the level first does not mean that Zheye is the strongest, it is definitely one of the best.

Coupled with his considerable reputation, almost no one wants to run into him, especially in the first round.

Tetsuya's bye is a good thing for everyone.

"Then groups 1 to 7 will go in first. There are no rules except that they can only use 6 elves, cannot go out of the designated area, and cannot maliciously hurt others.

Time is limited, don’t waste it.”

Xiaochun pointed at the boulder rock field and urged.

Fortunately, the boulder rock field is very vast, otherwise it would definitely not be able to accommodate so many people and elves at the same time.

The selected trainers looked at each other and then disappeared inside.

"Kailong, I leave it to you."

Xiaochun turned around and explained to Kuailong who was following him.

Hanhan's fat man immediately flew high into the sky and began to perform the duties of general supervision on his behalf.

Tetsuya couldn't help but smile.

That's right, the battle at this stage of the Dragon Ascension Ceremony is an almost irregular wild fight.

Even if you use philosophical hand-to-hand combat in the field to control your opponent as a trainer and force him to surrender, as long as the person is not dead, the Yulong Clan will not care.

If you have the ability, you can enter the dragon's lair and engage in hand-to-hand combat with dragon elves to gain recognition.

Besides, the trainer's own strength is indeed part of his strength.

"Why do I feel that you are very interested in this battle mode?" Xiaogang stood aside and complained.

With the help of Kyuubi, he naturally passed the Three Dragon Trial.

But there's nothing you can do about it at this level.

The limitation on the number of elves on his body is his biggest problem.

"It's not bad." Zheya didn't deny what he said, "Don't you think this kind of battle is interesting?"

"Not really."

Xiaogang refused.

There is naturally a reason why wild fighting is gradually being eliminated.

After all, human physiques are not as good as those of elves. Even if they have almost infinite attribute resistance, there is still a clear gap between the physical bodies.

In wild fighting mode, you may lose your life if you are not careful.

This is a very unfavorable factor for the alliance to promote the trainer profession.

Forget it in the wild, everyone knows the dangers.

Nowadays, citizens of the two alliances may die during normal battles. Isn't this just trying to persuade people to retreat?

Although wild fighting is really hard-core and can better reflect the strength of a trainer, there is no doubt that it is not suitable for large-scale use.

This is also the reason why the Dragon Ascension Ceremony must be performed in the wild.

"Speaking of which, your opponent is not bad at all."

Zheye changed the topic and talked about Xiaogang's lottery.

This unlucky guy drew an opponent with a king-level elf.

Fortunately, there is only one, and its strength is probably not as strong as the Kyuubi.

But this does not affect the possibility of Xiaogang winning.

They say there are four, but Xiaogang actually only has three elves that can fight.

Even if Nine-Tails holds back a King and a Quasi-King, the remaining 4 vs 2 situation is something Xiaogang cannot handle.

Xiaogang waved his hand: "It's okay, just admit defeat as soon as possible. Anyway, I didn't want to get a quota."

He looked very unconcerned in his words.

Zhe also smiled, looking at it this way, Xiaogang's opponent was not bad luck either.

At least you don't have to worry about Xiaogang and him fighting to the death, and you can retain most of your strength to enter the next round.

As time passed, the violent roaring in the boulder rock field has not stopped since noon.

Dust, rain, sunshine, hail...

The weather is completely different at every large distance in the boulder rock field.

From time to time, white, yellow or orange light pillars rise into the sky.

"Hmm~"

Tetsuya, who was leaning on the rock wall and waiting a little sleepily, stretched lazily.

"You seem to be very free."

Xiaochun, who disappeared for a while, got stuck and returned here.

Ignoring the looks of other trainers, she casually communicated with Tetsuya.

Zheye twisted his neck: "It's okay, how are you going to deal with that extra person?"

Counting him, there will be 22 trainers left after the first round, and after another battle, there will be 11 winners.

It's a bit embarrassing to be stuck on the line of ten places.

"Eliminate the weakest one. If you are not convinced, choose one of the ten people to challenge."

Xiaochun's words are concise and to the point.

One more spot to enter? This is naturally not possible.

Although it doesn't have any impact, it is a rule.

As long as it is a rule, this precedent cannot be set.

The trainers around heard this and their hearts skipped a beat.

"How to determine which one is the weakest?"

A trainer intervened regardless of the conversation between the two.

Xiaochun pointed to the sky: "Isn't Kuailong always watching? It will decide.

If you can't even get its recognition, it actually makes no difference whether you can enter the dragon's lair or not."

"this..."

The first fourteen trainers who won the victory looked at each other, but could not say anything more.

indeed.

Their purpose in participating in the Dragon Ascension Ceremony is to enter the dragon's lair and obtain the approval of the dragon elves to subdue the cubs.

If Kuailong doesn't approve of them, the situation in the dragon's lair will not be much better.

Xiaochun quickly ignored the unknown stranger and started a heated discussion with Tetsuya.

She was very curious about Tetsuya's Ice Vulpix.

This is not only due to the instinct of a dragon trainer, but also because girls have never been able to resist cute elves.

"Kaiou"

The snow-white Ice Vulpix was flexibly circling around Xiaochun's shoulders.

This eldest sister has given herself a lot of delicious food and is a good person.

Xiaochun squinted her eyes and smiled, and from time to time she would take out good elf snacks from her pocket and feed them to the Ice Vulpix.

This one mouthful costs thousands of alliance coins, and ordinary people simply cannot play like this.

I'm used to eating Tetsuya's delicious Ice Vulpix, but my mouth is very picky.

"Come out."

Tetsuya, who squatted down and teased Prince Bo with water spraying on his face, suddenly said.

The next moment, the last winning trainer walked out of the stone forest, covered in dust.

"Congratulations to the trainers present, the next step will be the same."

Xiaochun teased the Ice Vulpix again and took out another 22 wooden tokens.

The same rules apply, so this time Tetsuya naturally cannot get a bye.

"Just average luck."

Looking at the number in his hand, he murmured to himself.

Those failed trainers left here through another exit, so there was no Xiaogang to follow him.

I have to say, this is a pity.

"Name: Aoki Chijo

Main force: Abo monster, cross bat, giant swamp monster, armored tyrannosaurus, smelly mud, and muck eagle.

Among them, Mukeying has the strength of a king."

Is there a Sinnoh family bird or a Kanto family bird?

Zhe also smiled.

The opponent's strength is not bad, and he is ranked among the top among the remaining training families.

After all, the poison system is still relatively difficult to deal with.

Unfortunately, it was him who met me.

"Go ahead on the 1st to the 5th, prepare on the 6th to the 11th."

Following Kochun's voice, Tetsuya and a young man with a cold face walked into the boulder rock field.

"This terrain is really complicated."

On the way to the battle area, Tetsuya looked around and secretly smacked his lips.

There are gullies everywhere and gravels of different sizes.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is completely possible to disappear here as soon as you turn around.

As an opponent, Aoki Chijo secretly observed Tetsuya, with various thoughts that were not known to outsiders constantly flashing through his heart.

"Is this the alliance trainer that the boss has been focusing on recently... He is indeed a genius, but he seems a bit out of tune."

"Speaking of which, this operation looks a bit dirty."

"Forget it, try your best. With the elves in hand, there is no chance of winning."

"It's unlucky, it's unlucky. I promised someone would cooperate with me, but why can't I see any ghosts at this moment?"

"Speaking of ghosts, Matsumoto and Matsushita must be the ones taking charge."

Underneath the cold face, a chatty voice sounded in his heart.

There's no way around it. If you don't regulate yourself mentally when doing this kind of work, problems will arise.

"Shua"

The next moment, the two people hid behind a thick rock pillar simultaneously.

They have already entered the area for this battle.

"Leave it to you, Biduo, Flame Chicken, Pangyan Monster, Monarch Snake, Togejis, and Electric Dragon!"

"Go, my elves."

Twelve figures of different sizes appeared in the venue.

"Iron-armored Tyrannosaurus, destroy the death light!"

"Monarch Snake, Pangyan Monster, Sunbeam!"

The choices made by the two trainers are so similar. It is a ultimate move that represents friendly exchanges.
