Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"Gold~"

Asu repeated Tetsuya's translation with an unknown attitude.

Although gold is considered a quite precious metal, its value to trainers is really not that high.

The only one left that reflects its purpose is to feed the elf of the rock or steel type.

Not even worth it.

However, the rich are not pursuing gold for its uses, but this shiny golden thing is very respectable at first glance.

"Speaking of which, we can collect some gold now."

Zheya suddenly thought of another question.

Judging from the performance in the animation, the technology in the Pokémon world is definitely getting higher and higher, which is also the way the world should develop.

Not only the technology related to elves, but also reflected in daily life.

In this way, the value of gold will definitely continue to rise.

The saying that antiques in prosperous times are gold in troubled times is not nonsense.

The utility of gold in various aspects is very extensive.

I didn’t have any spare money before, but now that I have some, I should consider investing.

Money will depreciate if you leave it there.

"But..." Tetsuya thought about the two new big players in the team, and his expression was a little weird, "I think I still have no money."

He lowered his head silently.

Who would have thought that after time travel, he would still be worrying about the food and drink of his children.

This was simply inconsistent with the impression the elf world had left on him when he was young.

"Zheye, Zheye?"

Ah Su called three or four times in a row, but Jian Zhe didn't reply. He patted his shoulder curiously, "What are you thinking about?"

"It's about making money, but I don't have any money anymore recently."

Tetsuya shrugged helplessly.

Now Asu understands this very well.

Even though his father is one of the best flying masters in the world, and his family is one of the Eight Great Halls in the Johto area, it doesn't mean that his expenses are endless.

On the contrary, his father controlled him more strictly than anyone else after his last failure.

The strength of the elves and trainers who were created by throwing money at them is not difficult to imagine at all.

That’s not to say there aren’t any, but there are a lot more.

But their verifiable results are basically unconvincing.

Well, Dawu didn’t just spend money, that guy is a super rich second generation and a genius at the same time.

"But you spend money much faster than me. As expected, dragon elves are an endless trap."

Asu sighed with emotion.

As a partner, of course he knew the two dragon elves in Tetsuya's hands, and even more so how much he spent at the Yanmo Gym.

That is an astronomical amount of money for normal people.

Compared with the cost of cultivation, the value of the elf itself is not that impressive.

Ami spoke from the side: "But the dragon elves are strong, and they are still quasi-gods."

Tetsuya and Asu nodded in unison.

No matter how much money is spent, this reason is enough.

Zhe also spread his hands: "So, I hope I can make more money this time. After all, it is also in the name of gold. It is a little unreasonable to be poor."

"By the way, how do you open this door?"

Asu clung to the huge stone door, unable to find any cracks.

"It was probably made from a single piece by a rock elf, so it was just blasted to pieces."

Ami looked soft and weak, but what she said was extremely tough.

Zheye nodded: "I think it's okay."

Although generally speaking, this kind of door will have a mechanism, and it may be dangerous to open it by force.

But for the three powerful trainers, this danger was not taken seriously by them.

Among the three, even Asu, who is the weakest, is still a strong contender for the semi-finals and even the championship in the regional conference.

in other words.

If the mechanism of the gate is enough to threaten their lives, then we should wait seven years before exploring this ruins.

"Pangyan monster, use brute force to knock it away."

After briefly estimating the thickness of the stone gate, Zheye decisively gave up the idea of ​​letting the Flame Chicken or Eluredo come.

Patting the Pang Yan Monster on the side, he led the other two people back a considerable distance.

"Dangoro!"

The dull cry of the Pangyan monster echoed in the underground passage.

Its rocky body even gives people the illusion of being as "robust" as a physical body.

"boom--"

A huge roar sounded.

Countless rock chips fell from the heads of the three people.

on the ground.

The exploration team and villagers outside the canyon sensed the sound, swallowed silently, and evacuated some distance again.

"Bah, bah, bah."

Ah Su spit out the dirt in his mouth angrily, "You are making too much noise, and can you warn me first? You are not prepared at all."

Tetsuya, who was perfectly protected by Eluredo's super powers, said that it was not his fault: "Who let your owl run to protect Ami?"

"Cuckoo"

The owl who used telekinesis on Ami's shoulder turned his head a little embarrassed, 180 degrees.

"Otherwise, we can't let Sister Ami become like me." Asu rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, he is not someone who cares about such things: "Is the door open?"

“Dangoro”

The Pang Yan Monster slowly moved aside.

A door full of cracks appeared in front of the three people.

"Tsk, it looks like it's not even close."

Ah Su has a rather yin and yang character.

Zheya didn't say anything, just walked over silently, then stretched out his leg and kicked him.

"Crackling"

The stone door that had been hit by the Pangyan monster with brute force was obviously no longer able to withstand any external pressure.

Under Tetsuya's kick, the thick door burst open.

What cracked next was Asu's heart.

He opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by the two people who disappeared behind the stone door.

"No, just wait for me."

Asu complained, and followed him into the stone gate.

"Pangyan Monster/Big Steel Snake, you two are responsible for guarding the outside."

Under the care of Zheye and Ami, two behemoths, one big and one small, landed on the left and right sides of the stone gate like door gods.

One turned into a blue rock, and the other formed a circle.

"Owl, use flash!"

In the pitch-black passage, the V-shaped eyebrows of the nighthawk lit up with a dazzling white light.

"Hey, how are you?" Asu showed his big white teeth.

Zheye gave him a strange look, said nothing, and just silently put away the flashlight in his hand.

Asu was wondering when he saw Guang'er next to Ami.

His face stiffened.

Oops, I forgot that there is also the Asakusa Gym Leader here.

Ami sighed helplessly: "Originally I was thinking of saying not to disturb the elves inside, but now it's better. When your big light bulb lights up, you probably know that there is a visitor."

Asu's neck shrank.

It seems like I did something wrong.

"It's okay. I don't see any movement. Maybe there are no elves inside."

Zheye defended Asu.

Ami nodded: "It's indeed a bit strange. Didn't your Flame Chicken and Eluredo notice it?"

"嘞多"

"Down"

Both Flame Chicken and Eluredo shook their heads.

"Even the waveguide can't be discovered. Either the elves inside are too strong, or there are simply no elves."

Ami folded her hands in front of her chest and murmured analysis.

"If it's the latter, then why can this relic interfere with the instrument?" Azou obviously didn't agree with this point of view, "I think the elves inside are too strong.

Or it could be very good at hiding its own waveguide.

Although the current elves are basically unable to do this, who knows what kind of mastery of waveguides they had in ancient times. Anyway, they should be better than us."

"Down"

The flame chicken spit out a spark from its nose in dissatisfaction.

It seems like beating someone, what should I do?

Zheye patted the flame chicken on the shoulder to express comfort: "It's not impossible. Anyway, let's go in and take a look."

Asu also realized that something was wrong with what he just said, and smiled apologetically at the Flame Chicken: "I didn't mean that, it was mainly a reasonable analysis, a reasonable analysis."

He smiled coquettishly.

"Down"

The flame chicken nodded unhappily.

That is to say, for the sake of the trainer, otherwise this guy who is obviously a hindrance at a glance will definitely be the first to strike and knock the opponent unconscious.

He ignored Asu who was busy admitting his mistake.

Tetsuya raised his head and looked at the rock paintings on the passage.

"It's the story of a queen who rules a country."

His face looked a little surprised.

Since in the past, elves were regarded as "warcraft" rather than as partners of humans, the risk factor in ancient times was very high.

In this case, I want to become the king of a country.

The most critical factor is that the fist is hard enough, hard enough to deal with a considerable number of elves.

And because of the natural gap in military power between men and women, men generally sit on the throne of the country.

Even now, looking at all the regional Four Heavenly Kings and regional champions, the proportion of male trainers is obviously much higher than that of female trainers.

This is probably one of the reasons why when Sirona ascends to the championship in the future, her popularity will be comparable to that of Watanabe and Daigo.

Strong strength is one thing, and being the only female champion in several nearby regions is also another thing.

However, female trainers are not without their own advantages.

With generally gentle personalities, their achievements as nurturers and coordinators are visible to the naked eye.

In these two fields, especially the former one, male trainers can be said to be underdog.

The latter probably wouldn't have been much better if it hadn't been for the appearance of Mikri.

"She is a very powerful queen."

Looking at the plot displayed on the mural, Ami couldn't stop nodding her head.

"It's a bit exaggerated. It should be the power of elves, but I didn't draw it."

Tetsuya is also someone who has seen many ruins.

Naturally, we know how much gold content these ruins murals have.

The one in front of you looks like it has been artistically processed.

"Is this the Longlong Stone? It flew away with a wave of your hand. You were really blind."

Ah Su also complained.

"It's understandable that people in ancient times described rulers in this way. It would be nice not to turn this queen into a demon with three heads and six arms."

"Yeah, wasn't there last time over there on the green lawn? A good person turned into a shadow monster, really."

The three of them walked inside while admiring the murals.

This passage is unexpectedly long.

Walked for nearly ten minutes.

A fairly spacious hall appeared in front of them.

"It feels a little small."

Zheye frowned and gave Asu and Ami's inner evaluation.

Indeed, the building hall made of bluestone in front of us is only about a hundred square meters.

If it were in the center of Jinhuang City, Kanto, then these hundred or so square meters would still be worth something.

But for ancient queens, not to mention a hundred square meters, tens of thousands of square meters were considered small.

In the elf world, the most valuable thing is land.

As long as you can beat the elves in the wild, they are everywhere.

This is not so much the ruins of the Queen's golden palace as it is a simple underground warehouse.

Because it was so long ago, the air inside the ruins was slightly turbid.

However, there is no problem in providing breathing space for three people.

The ground paved with bluestones was covered with dust and there were no bones in sight.

The walls have become somewhat pitted and dilapidated due to the invasion of time.

At the end of the hall, a two-person-tall female stone statue stood in front of a gold throne.

"This should be the queen."

Azoo said with a hint of speculation.

"Probably."

Tetsuya touched his chin and observed the statue in the distance.

The other party wore a gold mask on his face and held a gold scepter in his hand.

The top of the scepter is also inlaid with a red gem the size of a fist.

It's like...

"Sea Soul Scepter??"

Tetsuya's brows wrinkled subconsciously.

Except for the different texture of the scepter, the scepter in front of him was completely the same as the Sea Soul Scepter he had seen before.

He wouldn't think this was a coincidence.

There are so many styles of scepters, why are these two the same?

"I feel like this scepter looks familiar."

Ami also frowned.

As a gym leader in a city close to the Whirlpool Islands, she is naturally no stranger to the Sea Soul Scepter.

"What did you find?"

Asu looked left and right, and saw that both of them had serious faces, looking very confused.

"What's wrong with this scepter?"

He scratched his head and was very curious.

"Anyway, be careful. That mask and scepter are not simple at first glance." Zheye looked very serious. "After so many years, there is no dust on it at all, but other places are full of dust."

"That's right."

Ami nodded in agreement.

Ah Su looked helpless, what on earth are you talking about? Apart from the dust, there is nothing simple about it. Can you be more direct?

Just when the three of them stopped and hesitated.

"Buzz——"

An imperceptible red light illuminated the gems on the top of the mask and scepter.

Thousands of years have passed.

When they sensed the approach of a human being, the mask and scepter that had been silent for thousands of years reacted again.

"Oops!"

By the time the three of them realized something was wrong, six red lights had already struck them.

4k2, keep up the good work

Recently, there has been a theme of the arrival of elves. It’s the time of the initial fusion. The FL side started it first. It’s pretty cool.

There are seedlings here in qd. You can look for them. They are popular science about Pokémon and the like.
