Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

Fortunately, Si and Yuriko quickly stopped the force-feeding interaction.

"I heard from that boy Nobuhiko that you have made great progress in this period of time!"

He stretched out his hand and patted Tetsuya's shoulder boldly and said.

Not only Nobuhiko and him, no one would have thought that the young man in front of him would actually cross the threshold of Quasi-King and Heavenly King in less than half a year.

And there is more than one elf.

You know, for most reasonably talented trainers, this threshold often takes more than ten years of hard work to pass.

Those without talent can only struggle to get started.

Even for the vast majority of official Heavenly King-level trainers now, they had their first Heavenly King-level elf at least seven or eight years after they set out on their journey.

Tetsuya's speed was more than a fraction faster than them.

Ah Si looked at Zheya with increasingly satisfied eyes.

Fortunately, he had farsightedness and took on the role of master and apprentice early on.

Otherwise, it may not be his turn to be the other party's senior brother.

"That's okay."

Zheya rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "It's all thanks to the hard work of the little guys themselves."

"Okay, if you have anything to say, let's go back to the gym. It's not early now, so we can have brunch."

Yuriko interrupted the conversation between the two with a smile on her face.

Ah Si nodded in agreement.

Zhe also figured it out.

Although Ah Si is an extremely strong fighter and trainer, it does not affect his status as a younger brother in the family.

Under the leadership of Yuriko, the two men followed obediently and did not dare to make a sound.

"By the way, Tetsuya, you are now eighteen years old, right? Do you have a girlfriend? Do you want me to introduce you to one or two?"

On the way to the gym, Yuriko started chatting about everyday things.

The questions that came up were a bit overwhelming for Zheya.

He never imagined that after traveling through so many years, he would still have to face the urge to fall in love and get married.

However, this question is indeed about time for people of the same age in the elf world.

Due to the implementation of the "Official Trainer Law", which stipulates that those who are over 16 years old can legally possess Pokémon, in the elf world, a person who is 16 years old is already regarded as an adult.

Including things like driving and getting married.

There are not many examples in the elf world of marrying your childhood sweetheart as soon as you turn sixteen.

But Zheya has never thought about this aspect.

It's enough to have Pokémon, but what else is needed for a woman?

He doesn't have time to take care of more than a dozen elves, so he has no time to fall in love.

This is also a common thought among many trainers.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I really don’t have the time.

Seeing Tetsuya's somewhat troubled expression, Yuriko, who had a gym leader as her husband, immediately understood what he was thinking.

Putting her hands on her hips, she educated her naturally: "I'm telling you, you can't learn like your senior brother Ah Si. Your brain will be almost stupid after training the elves every day.

Recently, I also like to eat sweets, and I run around outside with a big belly all day long.

People who don’t know think he gave up fighting training!

Recently, the number of apprentices signing up at Zhanlan Gym has decreased.

When he was young, like you, he focused on his own elf all day long, which made me so angry that I wanted to strangle him to death."

The first part sounded normal, but the more Zheya listened to it, the less it sounded like.

What if you don't show affection as promised, but you're lying to a dog?

Ah Si was laughing happily at the side, not daring to say anything more.

Facing Yuriko's continuous attacks, Tetsuya was quickly defeated.

In terms of words, he was really no match for this sister-in-law.

However, Zheya did not feel impatient, but felt the warm atmosphere that he had not seen for a long time.

"Speaking of which, as elders, we haven't given you an adult ceremony yet.

Just wait, I'll prepare some for you when I go back, it's definitely good stuff."

Faced with Yuriko's statement, Tetsuya waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, my electric dragon was given to me by Senior Brother Ah Si before. It's still shiny. He's a child with quite a personality."

"That won't work."

Yuriko waved her hand like a fighting gym hostess, "What he gives you is his gift, and it's a meeting gift, which is different from a coming-of-age ceremony."

Seeing that Zheya still wanted to refuse, she glared: "Okay, don't refuse, otherwise I won't be happy."

"Yes, yes, no no, no no."

Ah Si nodded repeatedly.

Seeing this, Tetsuya had no choice but to agree: "Okay, thank you, Sister Yuriko."

The three of them were chatting and laughing, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the entrance of the Azure Gym.

This is a very simple courtyard building.

"teacher!"

"Welcome back, master!"

"Teacher, you have completed today's exercise!"

In the dojo in the courtyard, a group of children and young people wearing fighting uniforms were exercising in groups.

They were led by a strange force with four arms.

Seeing Ah Si and Yuriko coming back, they also greeted them energetically.

"Nicky, nicky, nicky"

Wei Li raised his hand towards Zhe.

Zheye smiled back: "Long time no see, Guaili, your muscles are getting better and better."

"Nike!"

Hearing Zheya's praise, Guai Li was very happy and put on a bunch of fitness poses.

The powerful belt with a crack around its waist has been replaced by Ah Si.

"There are so many people."

Zheya looked at the grand occasion in the dojo and sighed involuntarily.

Thinking about it, the temptation of having a champion-level monster as the lead elf for training is really quite great.

Many younger apprentices were secretly observing Tetsuya.

Some of them also recognized his identity, and there was a hint of excitement on their faces.

"Papa pa pa"

Ah Si stood right in front of the dojo and clapped his hands vigorously: "Here, I'll introduce it to you."

He pointed at Tetsuya and said: "This is my junior brother Tetsuya, also your uncle, from Tokiwa, Kanto."

"Hello, Uncle Tetsuya!!"

The next moment, a deafening greeting sounded.

Looking at the hundreds of people bowing in unison, Zheye couldn't help but shed a trace of cold sweat on his forehead.

It's not what he said. Looking at this scene, the Blue Gym looks more like a dark organization than Team Rocket.

He even had the illusion that he was the gangster's cousin.

"Okay, keep exercising and don't slack off!"

I don't know if he saw Tetsuya's embarrassment, but Ah Si immediately asked the apprentices to restore their original situation.

At this moment, he still looked submissive and did not dare to speak. He was full of momentum.

"yes!!"

There was another sound that was enough to shatter the clouds.

The apprentices immediately settled down and started exercising.

"It seems they have studied very well."

In response to Zheye's statement, Ah Si waved his hand: "These guys are still far behind!

Come on, let’s go eat first, they’ll be exercising for a while.”

With that said, he took Tetsuya deeper into the courtyard.

Taking advantage of this time, Yuriko had already packed the food and put it on the table.

After all, Ah Si's training was rain or shine, and she had already prepared the food before she went to call Ah Si. That was all the food, including the group of apprentices outside.

It's just that Tetsuya is alone today.

"Eat, you're welcome, treat it like your own home."

Ah Si sat down at the dining table swaggeringly, then picked up the basin in front of him and started eating.

That's right, it's a basin, and it's the kind that's four or five times bigger than your face, and its depth is far deeper than a normal rice bowl.

The food inside was piled up into a small mountain.

"Gudu"

Zheye swallowed hard, "This is..."

He pointed tremblingly at the slightly smaller but still huge rice bowl in front of him.

Yuriko's eyes narrowed with a smile: "Don't you guys who practice fighting have big appetites? Eat more, otherwise you will be hungry later."

Tetsuya's usual appetite is not too small, and he thinks it is not a problem to eat for three or four people.

But the amount of nearly twenty people in front of him was obviously not something he could handle.

"Come out, Round Shark."

He decisively threw a Poke Ball.

He doesn't have big-eating elves like Kirby, but the appetite of the newly born Round Shark is not small at all.

The bowl of food in front of you has obviously been carefully prepared, and the nutrients are very easy to absorb. Naturally, there is no need to worry about the round land shark not being suitable for eating.

"Come on little one, this is your breakfast today."

With the idea of ​​enriching the quasi-god, Zheya naturally placed the rice bowl in front of Yuanlu Shark and took his own portion from it.

"Wow~"

Yuanlu Shark fell silent as he looked at the food several times bigger than himself on the dining table in front of him.

Is the trainer trying to punish it for the mistake it made yesterday and try to push it to death?

It stood at the dinner table and looked up at Tetsuya not far away, its eyes full of despair.

"This is the round land shark you captured in the dragon's lair. It looks very energetic."

Seeing Yuriko turning her grief and anger into appetite and burying her entire body in the rice bowl, Yuriko couldn't help but praise her.

"Eat slowly. If it's not enough, add more."

Hearing this, the round land shark's round body stiffened for a moment, and then it ate even more ferociously.

As long as you eat until you pass out, you don’t need to eat anymore, right?

A "simple" brunch lasted for half an hour before it was finished.

Watching Yuriko walk briskly to another canteen to prepare meals for the apprentices, Tetsuya was completely convinced by the sister-in-law he had just met.

No wonder Ah Si would listen to Yuriko's words so much, she is like the family's Dinghai Shenzhen.

"belch--"

On the side, the round land shark, which had almost lost its edge after eating, fell down on the dining table with difficulty and burped.

It swore that it would never eat so much food again. It was really killing the elf.

Ah Si held a cup of steaming tea in his hand very unnaturally.

After taking a sip, he said thoughtfully: "The ruins near Route 38?"

After some conversation, Ah Si learned a lot of news from Zheye.

While lamenting Yu Zheye's good luck, he also gave his own thoughts and speculations: "There are many historic villages and towns on Route 38 and Route 39, so it is not unusual to have relics.

.

As for the issue of ownership rights.

Of course, Qian Cong's side is fine. You know the relationship between Ami and us, and she doesn't have the temperament to deliberately fight over it.

Not to mention Yuanzhu’s side, with you as the ‘Phoenix King’s Envoy’ here, they are eager to deliver it to you.”

He actually agrees with Tetsuya.

"However, you still need to pay attention to safety when exploring ruins, especially those unknown totems that may exist."

Ah Si's face was a little serious, "If it were an ordinary elf, I wouldn't worry about your safety, but the unknown totem is different. I believe you know this too.

If you're not careful, you might disappear."

"I will." Zheye promised seriously, "I haven't lived enough yet, senior brother, don't worry."

"You boy."

Ah Si smiled and scolded angrily, "Since you have something to do, I won't keep you any longer.

The gym battle will start in a moment. I'll ask the apprentices to come over and learn.

In the afternoon, you and I can go and give a simple greeting to get in, and then your sister-in-law also has a gift for you, that’s really a good thing.”

"Then I'm not welcome." Tetsuya chuckled. He was very curious about the good things that Ah Si and Yuriko emphasized repeatedly, "Senior brother, do you need me to be gentler later? Otherwise, you will lose face.

It’s hard to get through, isn’t it?”

"Oh, you are very confident. Do you look down on me, your senior brother? Be careful that after you lose, I will ask you to do the basic movements a hundred times."

"Hey~ We are all on our own, otherwise, senior brother, you will lose and practice a hundred times?"

The two exhausted people sat on the chairs and began to bicker with each other.

They really can't stand up.

"Let's go and eat."

After touching his belly, Ah Si, who originally planned to start the battle later, changed his mind.

Fighting with elves is the best way to digest food. Why do you have to wait so long?

The most important thing is that Tetsuya's mouth is really capable of disturbing people.

After taking back the shapeless Yuanlu Shark lying on the ground, which continued to groan and chirp, Zhe also followed Ah Si to a battle field near the dojo.

Ah Si didn't need to say anything, the resting apprentices gathered around him consciously.

"Let's not waste time. Fight 1v1. The strength is limited to the quasi-king level. This will also allow them to learn something. The rest will follow the normal battle rules."

Ah Si briefly explained the rules, and then took out a Poké Ball without saying a word, obviously prepared for it.

"Wa"

An elf that Tetsuya was very familiar with appeared on the field. It was a fast swimming frog that he had just met not long ago.

"Senior brother, you are too serious."

Tetsuya said half-complainingly and half-seriously, "Then, I won't be polite, go ahead, Monarch Snake!"

"Chirp~"

The light green monarch snake raised its head proudly in the morning sunlight, its red eyes staring straight at the fast-swimming frog.

To deal with water elves, grass elves are naturally more suitable.

Originally, I wanted to send in the Electric Dragon, but Lord Snake's Poké Ball just shook on his own initiative, and Tetsuya followed suit and changed the players.

Even though the Speedy Frog is Ah Si's signature elf, he still has full confidence in the Monarch Snake.

After all, this fast swimming frog is not a member of Ah Si's main team.

My shoulder has been in severe pain for some reason recently. I will write more after I get better. I have almost sorted out the general plot of the following period.
