Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"At the beginning of this year, the Alliance suddenly issued an order to the Waterstream, requiring us to suspend sailing for half a year, saying it was for a personnel structure investigation."

Daisuke waved his hand with some dissatisfaction: "Every sailor on our Flow Water was born in the military, how could there be any problem?"

No wonder he feels unhappy.

As the deputy captain who is mainly responsible for personnel arrangements on the Flowing, the Alliance's reason for suspending the Flowing is tantamount to a slap in his face.

"But it's okay."

Daisuke immediately smiled and said, "I heard that the Higarup was also suspended like us, and it was nine months."

As the saying goes, there is comfort in contrast.

As a ship belonging to the alliance, the more tragic encounter of the Higarup relieved Daisuke's mood to a certain extent.

"Hai Lieyan Horse?" Zheye whispered.

The Sea Flame Horse is the Higarop as Daisuke calls it, the latter being the name he used when he was still serving in the army.

As a soldier, Daisuke was used to being called this, but to most members of the alliance, the name Hailieyanma was the more famous one.

The name "Flame Horse of the Sea" is enough to describe the speed and handsomeness of this ship.

Unlike the Mizushima, the main navigation range of the Sea Flame Horse is concentrated in various waters in the Kanto region, including the Seven Islands and the Orange Islands.

"It seems like it's because of the Twin Islands incident."

Zhe also understood.

Xianggui thought so, and he also comforted Daisuke: "Just treat it as a normal stoppage and rest. Anyway, the salary alliance is not very high."

Daisuke laughed and agreed.

In the past, when he was busy, he couldn't even take a break. This time, he finally got half a year's paid vacation, and he really enjoyed his life.

As for why he met Ma Zhishi.

"That guy Ma Zhishi is a real genius."

Daisuke drank some fruit wine and recalled his past experiences, "When we were fighting, he would always be at the front of the team flying a special plane. He was as crazy as he was risking his life.

I remember one time he charged too hard and the plane was blown up by the enemy.

If his self-destructing magnet hadn't been so exaggerated, he would have died at that time."

He said calmly, "However, although he is a little crazy, that guy is a very trustworthy and trustworthy partner. He also saved my life."

The only difference from Ma Zhishi was that Daisuke's main elves failed to survive that fierce battle.

Thanks to the good welfare benefits of the alliance, soldiers like him have good jobs after retirement. Otherwise, without the main elves, it would be difficult for him to maintain the standard of living he had been living in the past.

Don't think that there will be no war in the elf world as long as the elf alliance rules it.

On the contrary, wars, large and small, have never stopped in various regions, but in recent years there have been too many.

The main objects of confrontation are those forces that gathered in the form of ancient countries.

Due to the incomparable vastness of the elven world and the existence of magical creatures like elves, they have brought a lot of trouble to the alliance.

Of course, many countries happily joined after being exposed to the alliance and became part of the alliance system, and their development was quite good.

Tetsuya smiled and said: "No wonder I said that Daisuke's style was like that when you commanded the octopus barrel to fight. Is it because you were originally an electric trainer?"

At Daisuke's strong request, he also removed suffixes such as Mr.

"Yes." Daisuke rubbed his head with some distress, "There is still a big gap in the fighting styles of the two types of elves. Fortunately, my other electric-type partners have a great advantage when we are at sea."

Even though he has changed careers for so many years, he still cannot change his commanding style that is etched in his bones.

What Daisuke didn't tell Tetsuya was that he had recently been considering whether to accept Ma Zhishi's invitation to become a gym instructor at the Dead Leaf Gym.

Compared with life on the ship, he still prefers to deal with electric elves.

At this time, Miss Qiao Yin's sweet and gentle voice also came from the radio: "Two trainers No. 987 and No. 1098, your elves have returned to their best condition. Please collect them as soon as possible."

The two people who were chatting had a tacit understanding and immediately ended the conversation.

After retrieving their respective elves, it didn't take long for Daisuke to receive a call and leave Chiyan Island in a hurry.

Looking at his leaving figure, Zheye narrowed his eyes.

Of course, soldiers like Daisuke will not betray the alliance, but the same cannot be said for other personnel on the ship.

As a cruise ship, there simply aren’t too many service staff onboard the Flow.

With the ability of the Rockets, it is easy to stuff some people into it.

If the alliance finally finds out, Daisuke, the new vice-captain whom Tetsuya met, will definitely bear some responsibility.

Even though this kind of thing cannot be avoided, someone has to be responsible.

I hope this cheerful middle-aged man will not be too autistic by then.

As for not being able to find out, Zheya feels that the alliance's control is not that bad.

"Boga"

Prince Bo tugged at the hem of Tetsuya's clothes.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhe also lowered his head strangely.

Prince Bo sighed and pointed with his wings at the competition notice posted on the wall.

"That's what you said."

Zheye suddenly realized it, and then he frowned: "There is indeed some trouble."

Nothing else, it’s just a matter of the participating elves in the main competition.

After entering the main competition, the Whirlpool Islands Competition is no longer so irregular. At least it is necessary to register the elves participating in the competition in advance.

Minimum two, maximum four.

The extra two were mainly because they were afraid that under the intensive battle, the trainer's elves would not have time to recover and would be unable to fight.

Spectators don't want to watch a match where the trainer abstains.

Tetsuya's problem is that he can't even get a second water elf, let alone four.

"You can't pass the qualifying results but not be able to participate in the main game, right?"

Zheya looked at Prince Bo helplessly.

Although he didn't expect to achieve any good results in this competition, it would be a shame for him to withdraw from the competition like this.

"I didn't expect you, Tetsuya, to be among the top 64 in the Whirlpool Competition. Is that all?"

Zheya could completely imagine what his bad friends would look like after learning the news.

"No, absolutely not."

He clenched his hands.

When he came to the front desk, Zheye briefly explained his situation to Miss Qiao Yin.

"ah?"

Miss Qiao Yin was also stunned.

This is the first time such a situation has occurred in so many Whirlpool Islands Competitions.

To be precise, the solution for other trainers is probably to grab a random water elf and use it to play in the competition. It doesn't matter anyway.

But Zheya's character is not like this.

He would not capture a temporary elf to be his partner just for a competition. This is quite irresponsible behavior.

"Let me ask the Mayan priest for you."

Miss Qiao Yin also quickly understood Zheye's thoughts, and couldn't help but look at him with a hint of goodwill.

She took the initiative to pick up the phone and started to communicate.

After a period of communication, Miss Qiao Yin also brought him some good or bad news.

"The Mayan priest said that you can choose to use ground, rock, fire or ice elves to participate in the competition, but the strength cannot exceed the elite level.

And if you win the championship, there is a high probability that you will not be able to obtain the title of Brave of the Sea, nor will you be able to receive the blessing of the sea soul."

How should I put it? It's quite a strict restriction.

But Tetsuya can totally understand.

In a competition with a specialization attribute, it is already very good for people to relax the conditions like this.

"Thank you very much. I'm sorry for causing you any trouble, Miss Qiao Yin."

Zheye put his hands together and thanked Miss Qiao Yin repeatedly.

Miss Qiao Yin's face had a hint of blush: "No, no, this is my job. I hope you can get good results."

"Then, it will be my second elf."

Tetsuya quickly took out the Poké Ball of Hyouvulpix and placed it on the counter.

There is no other way, the only elf that meets the conditions in him is Xiaobing Vulpix.

Moreover, if the ice-type Ice Vulpix appears on the field, it will always give the audience a better impression than the fire-type ones.

It is estimated that many people will regard the little guy as an elf with dual elements of water and ice, and it will not embarrass the organizer too much.

"Okay, please wait."

Upon seeing this, Miss Qiao Yin immediately switched to formal working status.

After receiving the Poké Balls from Hyouvulpix and Prince Wave as well as Tetsuya's Pokédex, she immediately entered it into the computer.

"The information entry is completed. There will be an opening ceremony at the ancient arena at 3:30 in the afternoon. Don't forget to attend~"

Miss Qiao Yin handed the elf ball and illustrated book back to Tetsuya with a sweet smile.

"OK."

Zheya naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

...

Ancient arena.

Under the arrangement of the staff, Zheya and another contestant boarded the canoe.

They will use this means of transportation to enter the official competition venue.

The auditorium in the arena was already packed.

The cheers in my ears are endless.

Tetsuya looked very calm about this, while the trainer next to him was nervously holding on to the edge of the canoe.

"Now, I declare that the opening ceremony of the Whirlpool Islands Competition has officially begun."

The commentator's voice sounded.

Thirty-two wooden boats were pushed by water elves underwater at the same time.

"Dear viewers, please see, these are trainers who have passed the preliminary rounds and aim to become the brave men of the sea.

Since ancient times, the Whirlpool Islands have had a unique civilization and culture - worshiping water elves and living together with them is the principle that the people of the Whirlpool Islands have always adhered to, and it remains unchanged until now.

Next, let us welcome the traditional inheritor, Ms. Mayan Priest, to make a declaration for the conference!"

Unexpectedly, perhaps because the water elf pushed the canoe quite quickly, the commentator's words were unusually brief.

Under the gaze of Tetsuya and everyone, a woman with purple hair dressed in the costume of an ancient divine servant slowly walked up.

The most eye-catching thing is the red scepter she holds in her hand.

Above the scepter, a huge blue gem is embedded in it.

Against the background of the scepter, the Mayan priest bathing in the sun looks extremely solemn and sacred.

"Everyone, welcome to the triennial celebration of water elves, the Whirlpool Islands Competition.

The people who have a spiritual connection with the water elves and live together on this whirlpool island have been praised as the brave men of the sea since ancient times.

According to legend, the brave man of the sea will receive the blessing of the sea god, and he will be granted the same abilities as all water elves.

Then I wish you all good health and good luck, and please accept Haihun’s blessing.”

As the Mayan priest spoke, he raised his staff and pointed toward the sky.

In an instant, the blue gem on the scepter emitted a dull blue light, which instantly enveloped everyone's bodies.

A hint of surprise flashed in Zheye's eyes: "This is the Sea Soul Scepter. It's really magical."

Even so, he wasn't very surprised.

After all, I am someone who has met Lugia. This scepter is at best a prop for communicating with Lugia, and it is not on the same level.

What he didn't notice was that when the blue light of the Sea Soul Scepter enveloped the entire arena, the Mayan priest on the high platform cast a surprised look at him.

"Why did the Sea Soul Scepter suddenly tremble?"

The Mayan priest holding the scepter tightly felt that it had a tendency to move in a certain direction.

This is something that has never happened before, and there are no relevant records.

"Perhaps, you should ask the teacher."

Priest Maya thought silently.

This was the first time that she took over the responsibility of announcing the start of the Whirlpool Islands Competition from the previous priest. Unexpectedly, something happened that she didn't know about the first time.

I just hope it's not a bad thing.

Her figure disappeared on the high platform unconsciously.

The blue light gradually dissipated, and the sunlight once again occupied people's field of vision.

"Next, please invite the eight trainers who are the first to appear to go to their respective venues to prepare for the battle~"

The commentator's voice echoed in the arena.

The ancient arena has a total of five battle arenas, one large and four small. Only the final battle between the champion and the runner-up will take place in the middle big battle arena.

As for the order and position of the speaking fields, they were randomly assigned as early as when the information was entered.

There is no doubt that Tetsuya, as the eternal non-chief, was chosen to play first.

Of course, this is not necessarily a bad thing.

"The next thing that will be held is the first match of Battlefield No. 1. Players Xiaofu and Tetsuya are invited to play."

Following the voice of the venue commentator, the two young trainers stood on their respective podiums.

"Since it's the first game, I won't hesitate to get a good start!"

The trainer on the opposite side seemed very confident and gave a victory speech to Tetsuya as soon as he came up.

"Oh~"

His words also drew applause from the audience.

Everyone hopes to see a very exciting battle, and also appreciates confident trainers.

Zheya didn't say much.

After the referee announced the start of the game, he released the elf on his own: "Leave it to you, Ice Vulpix!"

"Wow!"

The screams one after another caused the audience in other areas to shift their attention.

What happened?
