Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

Not to mention that Xiaogang once again started chasing the big sister.

Tetsuya is riding Bito to track the whereabouts of the sea elves.

"Sure enough, is there something behind the scenes? Humans? Or elves?"

Looking at the movements of the sea elves below, Zheye's eyes flashed with curiosity.

Elves of so many different races, including predators such as agate jellyfish and stinging jellyfish, can actually coexist peacefully and move forward in the ocean together.

Not to say it is unheard of, but it is also something strange that has never been seen before.

Sitting cross-legged on Bitao's back, Tetsuya reached out and took out a map of the Johto area from his space backpack.

The finger traces across the map.

He was calculating the possible location of the "mastermind" based on the direction in which the sea elves were heading.

"Here? Or, here?"

Tetsuya murmured to himself.

"Beep——"

Bitiao seemed to understand what he meant, spreading his wings and chirping.

"That's fine." Zheye smiled and nodded, "Then let's check all these places quickly, let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bidui accelerated his flying speed again.

A white streak streaked through the clouds high in the sky.

The elves in the ocean seemed unaware and still moved forward slowly and leisurely.

"Cool~"

Above the clouds, Tetsuya opened his arms wildly and enjoyed the wind.

During the two weeks in Yanmo City, Bituo did not relax at all.

Its biggest progress and gain is reflected in the protection of trainers during flight.

This is thanks to the experience summary and help provided by Xiaochun.

Only then did he realize why every time he saw Du, he stood on Kuailong and flew with a calm expression.

Zheya had maliciously speculated on the opponent's embarrassing appearance in the air more than once.

After all, the flying speed of Kuailong is also very fast.

It turned out that he was overthinking.

For ordinary trainers, it is still a bit painful for a flying elf to fly by itself, and the high-speed airflow is no joke.

But for powerful trainers, especially those with families behind them, this problem has long been solved.

To put it simply, the elves can completely control the energy around the body to protect the trainer from air currents.

However, the training process and control methods are very complicated.

Tetsuya had conducted deduction-related training before, but the progress was too slow. Later, due to the addition of Elle Duo, he simply gave up the idea.

And in Yanmo City, with the help of Xiaochun and her Kuailong, after finding the trick, Biduo, who was already good at controlling the power of wind, easily accomplished what he could not do before.

Zheya no longer has to worry about being blown away like a fool when he sits on Bidou's back without Alureduo's telepathy protection.

Of course, due to proficiency issues, Bitiao can only guarantee that Tetsuya will be fine when flying at the speed of sound for the time being.

If you go further up, it will be whatever it is.

This requires Bibi to further improve his control of energy.

However, Tetsuya felt that the speed of sound was already extremely exaggerated, and the efficiency of one kilometer in three seconds was no joke.

With Bitu's help, one person and one elf found the several special places he marked in almost no time.

Bitiao slowly slowed down and hovered in the air.

Zheye looked at the lake below and touched his chin: "You also feel that something is wrong with this place, right? I don't feel like this in other places."

"beep"

Bitu nodded in approval.

I don't know why, but the area below always gives it a very friendly feeling.

"Let's go, land over there."

Zheye narrowed his eyes and directed Bi Kao to fall to an open space.

There is a temporary landing point for air elves.

Next to it, a temple-like building complex is standing in the afternoon sun.

"Come on, come on, take a look~ You deserve the Slowpoke Temple travel brochure~ Not 998, just 98~"

Noisy shouts of hawking were heard one after another near the landing point.

Bitu had a tendency to fall, and the surrounding elves and trainers had a tacit understanding to make way for some areas.

There is no way, Tetsuya's Bidou is too majestic in appearance.

Coupled with the momentum brought by his strong strength, no one would provoke him without opening their eyes, even if he covered his face and didn't look like a good person.

"Hey~ This extremely powerful trainer, you must have heard about the reputation of our Slowpoke Temple and Slowpoke Lake and came here specially.

I have a nearby travel brochure here. It only costs 98 alliance coins, which is absolutely worth it. Do you want one?"

As soon as Zheye landed on Bitiao's back, someone immediately came up to sell him.

He casually took out an alliance coin with a face value of one hundred and handed it to the other party.

The salesman consciously took the money with one hand and handed Tetsuya a thin brochure with the other.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Zheya stopped him very strangely: "Hey, isn't it 98? Change."

The salesman was silent for a moment, then took out two steel coins from his pocket and put them in Tetsuya's hand.

This was the first time he saw a trainer coming here asking for change. It was really... down-to-earth.

"Thank you."

Tetsuya took Bidou back to the Poké Ball and showed a big smile to the salesman.

"Wish you a good time."

The salesman gave his last blessings, and then flashed to another trainer to sell a travel brochure.

Regardless of what the people around him who noticed this scene thought, Tetsuya opened the pamphlet he bought with great interest.

Slowpoke Temple is located between the Ice Trail and Kaji Town, forming a triangular geographical distribution with them.

One of the reasons why it is named after Slowpoke is because there have been many Slowpoke living around here since ancient times.

The second reason is that a long time ago, a monk achieved enlightenment with Slowpoke here, and the temple was built as a place for him and Slowpoke to meditate and practice, hence the name.

And even now, although a long time has passed, there are still many people who come here to practice.

The so-called practice is actually a series of activities such as meditating, mopping the floor, fishing, etc., but it is just done with the elves.

From Tetsuya's point of view, such activities can indeed improve the tacit understanding between trainers and elves, and also allow them to perform better in battle.

It can be considered a good and cheap training.

As for the Slowpoke Lake mentioned by the salesman, it is the lake that Tetsuya saw in the sky just now, right behind the Slowpoke Temple.

It was a special lake where only Slowpoke could catch elves, but humans couldn't.

It is said that the Pokémon in the lake can feel the desire of humans fishing, and Slowpoke does not want to fish but is obsessed with thinking about who it is, so it can successfully catch fish.

Although I don’t know if this is really the reason, it is the fact, so there is an endless stream of people coming here.

Because they were busy on the road before, Zheye and Xiaogang walked in a straight line from Leibo Mountain to Kaji Town and did not pass through here.

"It's interesting."

Zheye nodded thoughtfully.

Slowpoke was an elf that he was very familiar with. After all, its tail had brought many wonderful experiences to himself and his friends.

Even in Jupi Town, Slowpoke is still worshiped as a god-like elf by the people there.

However, it is a bit curious that places like Slowpoke Temple and Slowpoke Lake actually say that they can become enlightened in the name of Slowpoke.

You know, Slowpoke has always been synonymous with stupidity and slowness.

Even after evolving into a Slowshell, although this guy is no longer dumb, he is still very forgetful, and most of his actions are directed by the giant tongue shell on his tail.

No matter how you look at it, this type of spirit has nothing to do with the word enlightenment.

However, Zhe is not among them.

"Is it possible that there is a Slow King around here?"

So he thought.

Tetsuya knew very well that there were more evolutionary forms of Slowpoke than just Slowpoke.

Even compared to the symbiotically evolved Slowpoke, he felt that Slowking was the correct evolutionary path for Slowpoke.

The high intelligence characteristics of super-powered Pokémon are most vividly reflected in Slow King.

If King Slow was commanding those sea elves behind his back, Zheya wouldn't be able to accept it.

Although the evolution conditions of the Slow King are unknown and their number is very small, its intelligence is no less than that of the world's top scientists, which was personally certified by Dr. Ohki.

Compared with ordinary humans, King Slow can be said to be a crushing level of intelligence.

But, what’s the reason for doing this?

Tetsuya thought as he stepped into the gate of Slowpoke Temple.

"Wow~"

His attention was immediately attracted by a huge Slowpoke statue behind the gate.

There is no other reason than that this Slowpoke statue is very large and made entirely of gold.

"suck"

Zheye swallowed subconsciously and nixed his idea of ​​moving the statue and selling it in the bud.

There's nothing I can do about it, he's really been a little poor recently and has been guilty of many sins.

The performances of the trainers around who came to visit were no different from Tetsuya, or even more exaggerated.

Although gold is not that valuable in this world, anyone who talks about price regardless of quantity is an act of hooliganism.

The golden statue of Slowpoke, which is two people tall and more than ten people wide, is the iconic object of Slowpoke Temple.

Judging from what the manual says, this thing can better help trainers who come to practice to wash away distracting thoughts.

Well, that’s true in every sense of the word.

Staring at such a big golden statue all day long and not being able to move it away and sell it for money made me calm down. To be precise, I became numb.

"The King of Slowpoke will bless everyone and wish every trainer to succeed in their practice."

In front of the golden statue, a young man dressed as a monk was praying for people with a peaceful expression.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something and cast his eyes to a corner of the crowd.

"The brown-haired donor wearing a mask, please stay."

The monk man calmly stopped Tetsuya who was about to leave.

Zheye subconsciously turned around and pointed at himself with an eyebrow raised.

"Yes, it's you. Our host wants to meet you."

Hearing this, the trainers around him cast envious glances.

Although I don’t know what this host does and I have never heard of this person, it sounds unusual.

Zheye hesitated for a moment, then nodded readily and agreed.

It seemed that the person he was looking for, or perhaps an elf, had already noticed his arrival.

And there is no malicious intention.

“Then my guest please come with me;

Masako, I leave it to you to pray in front of the statue."

While the monk man led Tetsuya towards the temple, he called another female practitioner next to him to take over his job.

On the way, Zheye curiously asked about the news about hosting.

The monk man looked embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, we generally don't disclose the identity of the host. You will know it when you see it."

Zheya narrowed his eyes and nodded understandingly.

It looked as if his guess had come true.

The two soon arrived at a hidden corner of the temple.

A wooden house that was not considered luxurious, and could even be said to be very simple, appeared in front of Tetsuya.

"The host is inside. Guests can just open the door and walk in. The young monk will take his leave first."

The monk man nodded towards Tetsuya, then bowed respectfully towards the wooden house and left the place.

Tetsuya stood in the open space in front of the wooden house and looked at the place.

He did not choose to enter in the first place.

"You're here, why don't you come in and take a look?"

A vague voice sounded.

The corners of Zheye's mouth raised slightly: "As the master, shouldn't you let me see you first?

At least let me rest assured, are you right, King Dadu?"

He was very sure that the voice did not come from inside the wooden house, but sounded directly from the bottom of his heart.

In this way, there is no need to guess the identity of the people inside, or the elves to be precise.

"Bang"

The door of the wooden house suddenly opened from the inside out.

"You humans just worry too much.

Can you come in now?"

A bipedal, Slowpoke-like elf appeared in the center of the room.

There is an orange and white umbrella-like structure around its neck.

The big-tongued clam is still on its head, but its eyes are behind it, and on the opposite side, facing Tetsuya, there is a red gem-like structure.

This is the king of the Slowpoke beasts.

King Daidai put his hands behind his back and looked very leisurely, but the voice that sounded in Zheye's heart was a little violent.

This is not quite consistent with its title of "Sage of the Sea".

Zheya didn't say any more, but walked into the wooden room with his legs raised: "Why did you command the sea elves to attack the research institute there?

The construction there won’t affect too much ecology, and the elves will be able to benefit a lot from it after it’s completed.”

He came up and asked questions very directly.

Although the Slow King in front of him was as powerful as a champion, Zhe felt strangely that it would not hurt him.

This feeling is similar to Bitiao's feeling of closeness to the lake. There is no reason for it, but it is very willing to believe.

"It doesn't work there."

Faced with Zheye's question, King Daidai was not angry, but shook his head firmly.

"In other words, even if it is to be established, it will take a few years."
