Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"Prince Bo, play with the water, and the current will entangle you."

"Boga"

In a battle arena that resembled a small swimming pool, Tetsuya's calm commanding voice echoed in the air.

Corresponding to this, the opponent's trainer looked helpless and miserable.

Look towards the middle of the pool.

A relatively well-developed Sun Coral is being "ravaged" by Tetsuya's Prince Wave.

It is worth mentioning that Huangyan Island in the Whirlpool Islands is an island characterized by sun coral.

As an island that is not a tourist attraction, but develops orchards and uses Pokémon farms, terraces and aquatic products, the specialty of Scarborough Shoal is souvenirs made from the horns of sun coral, and the people on the island have been using sun coral since ancient times. The habit of building a house on a nest.

This is because Huangyan Island is surrounded by the largest group of sun corals in the Elf World.

It is also for this reason that many players who come to participate in the Whirlpool Islands Competition will have a sun coral in their hands as the spirit of the competition.

Spirits like Sun Coral are quite powerful.

Among them, those with good potential can master skills such as Life Drops to restore injuries, and even more, they can learn many superpower skills.

If you're lucky, it's not like you can't use it as half a super-powered elf.

Of course, the probability is somewhat small.

In the process of breeding from generation to generation, the nearby sun corals have long lost their so-called wildness and fighting instinct.

Even if the potential is acceptable, it may not be as good as the trainers wish.

However, it is better than no hope.

The trainer in Tetsuya's battle was a lucky guy who was extremely lucky.

His Sun Coral must have inherited instant amnesia. If his level were higher, he might be able to master more superpowers.

But that's what happened later.

In the battle against Tetsuya Shang and Bogaman, both he and his Sun Coral appeared extremely weak.

"What is this?"

The Sun Coral trainer gritted his teeth as he looked at the transparent water flowing on his elf's body.

Sun coral is mainly pink, with white belly and limbs, and four horns on its back.

But now, its limbs and four corners were all tightly bound, making it completely unable to resist Prince Bo's attack.

"Tsk, the little guy's water flow control is getting better and better."

Tetsuya touched his chin and thought about Prince Bo's changes.

Don't think too much, it must be the result of Lugia's blessing yesterday.

Although Prince Bo could use similar techniques before, it was very unstable and fragile. The bound elf could break free with just a little force.

How could he be so sleepy as he is now?

If Tetsuya's opponent could see more subtle changes in energy, then he would surely quickly know how Prince Bo did this.

The water flowing around the sun coral is constantly undulating inside in a vortex.

This is a water energy manipulation technique that combines tidal vortex and water fluctuation.

Prince Bo waved his wings slightly.

Sun Coral, which had just emitted white light and was about to break free from its shackles, let out a cry of pain.

The seemingly calm water is actually sharper than a sword.

Under the tight binding, the Sun Coral suffered considerable damage.

This is also the reason why Zheya valued Bogaman when he was in Leibo Mountain.

Even though his potential is only a quasi-king, his ability to control water flow is not something that just any water elf can do.

Even some king-level elves may not be able to do better than Prince Bo.

Potential only measures whether an elf can reach the corresponding level stage, and does not necessarily indicate the strength or weakness at the same stage.

Prince Bo has such a rare ability but only has the qualifications and potential of a quasi-king. It can only be said that there are gains and losses.

"Okay, let's end the battle. Use continuous metal claws to solve it."

Seeing that time was almost up, Zheye gave the final order.

"Boga"

Prince Bo, who became much calmer after entering the battle, nodded.

Silvery white energy light lit up on both wings.

"Swish"

Under the successive swings, the powerless Sun Coral quickly lost its ability to fight.

"Contestant Tetsuya advances, and contestant Pore is eliminated."

The referee on the side announced the result very briefly, and then made a gesture to let the two people leave.

It takes one afternoon to complete all the games, and the whole process is quite compact, so there is no time wasted.

Tetsuya and Po Lei on the opposite side didn't waste any more time. They took back their respective elves and left the battlefield.

"Boga~"

At the resting place of the temporary recovery point, Prince Bo, who had been restored to full condition after being treated by Miss Qiao Yin and the auspicious egg, looked very proud and had his hands on his waist.

So what, I'm awesome.

It looked at its trainer with proud little eyes.

"Awesome, awesome."

Tetsuya smiled and rubbed the golden appendage on the top of its head, which was still quite hard.

"Boga"

Prince Bo nodded with satisfaction.

The interaction between one person and one elf attracted the attention of many people.

After all, the Bogaman clan is also one of the three water-type royal families in the Sinnoh region, so it goes without saying that they are rare.

Many trainers regard Tetsuya as a new trainer who is traveling to the Johto area.

"Both the young man and the elf are very energetic. Uncle, I am very optimistic about your good results. Try your best to defeat your opponents."

No, an old man dressed as a fisherman patted Tetsuya on the shoulder and said in an arrogant manner.

Tetsuya didn't refute: "Yes, you have to work hard, uncle, what is your elf?"

"Hahaha, me? My partner is a super powerful octopus barrel!"

Seeing Zheya's "humbly" look, the angler uncle immediately burst out laughing and started bragging about himself: "Uncle, my goal this time is to enter the main competition!"

Octopus bucket, there is indeed some hope, Zheye nodded slightly.

Octopus Barrel, which can evolve from the Iron Cannon Fish form at around level 25, is a very good attacker.

Coupled with its second characteristic of sniper, it can be regarded as a nightmare when facing opponents with low physical strength.

This type of elf also has a unique move that is similar to a half-exclusive move, the Octopus Barrel Cannon.

The reason why it is said to be half is mainly because Mo Haima can master this skill through inheritance, so it is not unique to elves such as Octopus Barrel.

But since they are all named after them, it is not difficult to imagine how well they fit together.

To put it more vividly, the so-called octopus barrel cannon is actually an ink cannon. While causing damage, it can also effectively reduce the opponent's hit rate.

Although water elves do not have no vision in the dark water, it is certain that it is extremely limited.

Moreover, the ink spit out by the octopus barrel is very special. It contains ingredients that can dull the sense of smell and can confuse even Pokémon with sensitive noses. It is even an ingredient in cooking.

I just don’t know if the octopus bucket of the angler uncle in front of me has reached the elite level.

If you reach the elite level, as long as your command isn't too strenuous, you should have a good chance of making it to the main draw.

"Contestant No. 987, Contestant No. 987, your second battle will be held at Battle Ground No. 37. Please rush there as soon as possible. Please rush there as soon as possible."

While the two were chatting animatedly, Miss Qiao Yin's notification sound echoed over the resting point.

The uncle fisherman slapped his head: "No more talking, it's my turn. I'll go fight first, and I'll tell you about my fishing skills when I come back. Keep up the good work!"

"Okay, you too."

Zhe also said goodbye to the fisherman uncle politely.

Despite his humble appearance, he is indeed good at fishing for elves.

At least Tetsuya feels much better than him.

According to him, when he caught the octopus barrel, he did not use an ordinary fishing rod, but used a method similar to jar catching.

This is a very difficult thing.

Therefore, there is no trainer in the elf world who does not have a few brushes on his body, otherwise he will not be able to get ahead.

Prince Bo squatted down next to Tetsuya and played with the water on his hand, somewhat bored.

It has little interest in fishing, but is somewhat interested in eating fish.

Prince Bo actually didn't understand the point of sitting on the shore with a pole and fishing for elves. Which elf would be so stupid as to take the bait?

Even if you want to conquer the water elves, you can just go into the water and catch them.

The next moment, Tetsuya's hand covered its head and ravaged it fiercely: "Let's go, it's our turn."

"Pa"

Prince Bo immediately turned the water on his hand into a bubble and sprinkled it in the air.

If it were just a battle like that just now, Prince Bo felt that his battle this time was really easy.

The figures of one person and one elf disappeared into the crowd.

"Then, the game begins!"

With the referee's order, the fierce battle began again.

The second game, against the lobster soldiers, won;

In the third game, he fought against the Giant Crab and won;

The fourth game, against Big Tongue Bei, won.

There is no suspense, Tetsuya and Prince Bo won consecutive battles.

Against these ordinary-level opponents, Prince Bo, who had been carefully cultivated by Tetsuya, could be described as killing them randomly.

What's more, the little guy himself is very up to date and has never fallen behind in training.

It would be a surprise if we were defeated by them.

"Why--"

Zheye stretched his waist in pain.

Of all the competitions, the most boring process is these selections, but I still can't ignore them.

Who made Elf Battle so popular in the Elf World?

For a competition with no threshold like the Whirlpool Islands Competition, there are indeed a lot of people participating.

"I don't know who my opponent will be in the last game. I hope it ends soon."

While complaining, he led Prince Bo towards the venue for the fifth preliminaries.

"Boga"

As he stepped onto the podium to prepare, Prince Bo also tugged at the lower corner of Tetsuya's clothes in surprise.

"Ah, what a coincidence."

Zheye raised his hand and greeted his opponent lazily, "You think so, uncle."

That's right, his opponent in the fifth game was actually the fisherman uncle with whom he had a good chat at the end of the first game.

The other party obviously didn't expect that his opponent would be Tetsuya, and was stunned for a moment.

Then, he touched the back of his head and laughed happily: "Hahahaha, boy, this is our fate.

But at this stage, the probability of encountering him is actually quite high."

In the fifth game, there were only about a hundred trainers who had not yet been eliminated. Meeting someone you knew was a normal thing.

The probability of one percent is quite different compared to before.

"Please ask the two players to send out elves."

The referee ruthlessly interrupted the "reminiscing" between the two.

"Young man, come on, come on, come on, I will accept this battle without ceremony!"

The angler uncle waved his hand, and the red octopus-shaped Pokémon Octopus Bucket with yellow suction cups fell into the water.

Zhe Ye shrugged: "It's me who should say this. I'm really sorry, uncle, for not being able to achieve your goal."

With a glance, Zero's analysis of the octopus barrel opposite came into his eyes.

The elite level made Tetsuya's expression a little solemn, and his relaxed words became two different postures.

"Boga"

Without waiting for Tetsuya to say anything more, Prince Bo couldn't wait to enter the pool, feeling that his opponent was powerful.

I finally have a decent opponent, but it's boring as hell.

As for failure?

The proud Prince Bo never thought about this, even if his opponent's level was about ten levels higher than him.

At the stage below the King of Heaven, the gap between levels is not so large that it is irreparable.

There are many examples of ordinary level elves defeating elite level elves.

"Then, I'll go ahead and use the octopus barrel cannon!"

The fisherman uncle is also well versed in the essence of elf fighting, and he does not try to be pretentious like the young man by saying "let you attack first".

The reason why he sent out the octopus barrel first was so that he could attack first and make arrangements.

As long as he is under the dark ink waters, his octopus barrel is almost invincible.

The angler uncle is very confident about this.

Jet black ink soon spurted out from the tentacles of the octopus barrel.

An indescribable smell permeated the battle area.

"Prince Bo, water flow ring."

Tetsuya responded immediately.

A circle of rippling water waves floated up and down around Prince Bo's body.

Although the black ink tried its best to break through the obstruction of the water flow ring, it was still to no avail.

In the midst of the pitch-black water, the clear water circle with the Prince of Waves in the shape of it looked extremely dazzling.

"There's something, young man."

The angler uncle praised, "However, my octopus bucket is not that easy to deal with.

Use the seed machine gun!”

Under Tetsuya's somewhat stunned gaze, tiny green seeds burst out from the yellow suckers on the tentacles of the octopus barrel.

It is clearly a grass-type skill that has a great restraint effect on the water-type.

Although the power of the seed machine gun is very small, especially when used with an octopus barrel with mismatched attributes, the damage it can cause to water elves should not be underestimated.

No wonder this uncle fisherman said he can enter the main competition, he really has a few brushes on his body.
