Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"That's...a piercing rope?"

Zheye asked curiously.

Asu nodded: "Yes, aren't you a superpower?

It shouldn't be a problem to make some money with your superpowers."

Zheye waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it, I've seen the production method, it's too time-consuming."

Just like the effect in the previous game, the hole-piercing rope can instantly bring the trainer in the cave back to the ground.

It can be understood as a simple version of the teleportation of super-powered elves.

The production method is that superpowers or superpower elves carry out continuous infusion in a special way.

Unlike the game, the price of the hole rope fluctuates greatly depending on the escape distance.

Especially those with long escape distances are not as valuable as some precious props.

After all, when exploring underground caves, the existence of the cave rope is like having an extra life.

This is much more valuable than alliance coins.

If there is one, many trainers are willing to buy one and keep it by their side just in case.

Unfortunately, most of the hole ropes will not be spread on the market after they are produced.

This often leads to scenes where it is difficult to find a rope.

Asuka was just joking with Tetsuya.

With the other party's current worth, there is no need to spend so much energy making this money. The efficiency is too low.

While talking and laughing, the three of them felt a suction force coming from the big pit in front of them.

"Don't resist, there's no danger."

After Asu said something, he disappeared into the depths of the pit first.

Tetsuya and Daigo looked at each other, took back their elves and followed.

"Shua"

Eyes closed and opened.

The dazzling sun's rays were immediately replaced by soft lights.

"This is Area 1 of the Alfu Ruins."

Asu, who was the first to drop down, pointed to the surrounding walls and introduced, "The characters above are very old and not commonly circulated, so it will take some time to decipher them completely.

The way the hole rope enters is the result of the part that has been deciphered."

They are not the only ones among the ruins.

The team responsible for deciphering has been working hard underground.

Dawu leaned forward with an obsessed look on his face, stared at the stone wall and murmured to himself: "This stone... this stone..."

"What happened to this stone?"

Zheye asked curiously.

"It has a very charming atmosphere."

Dawu carefully stroked the pale yellow stone wall as if on a pilgrimage.

Zhe also fell silent.

He often seems out of place with these regional champions because he is not perverted enough.

It’s okay if Du is a crazy cloak control guy.

On the surface, he is such a noble person, but Dawu actually let himself go so...in front of the stone.

Although he was well prepared, it was obviously not enough.

Asu was also frightened.

The image of the idol suddenly collapsed in his mind.

"This writing is indeed a bit off-the-wall. I've never seen it before."

Zhe didn't pay attention to Daigo, who was about to drool, and frowned and looked at the wall.

He thought he had read a lot of books, but he had never seen such ghostly writing.

"It would be great if Sirona was here."

Zhe also muttered.

"Yes, she may know more about this thing than I do, but this stone is really wonderful."

Dawu, who still had some sense left, responded in the first half of the sentence, but fell into a state of obsession in the second half.

"Sirona? Who?" Asu was confused.

"A Sinnoh mythologist, the granddaughter of Dr. Jie Zilan."

Tetsuya's words revealed Sirona's strength as a trainer.

Asu had no doubt that she had it, and nodded: "It's okay, I can ask my father to call her over to help."

He is very confident.

Tetsuya was silent again.

Although Sirona is not the regional champion yet, in terms of strength, there is a high probability that Sutian will not be her opponent.

Then here comes the problem.

As a son, where do you get your confidence from?

"She should be carrying out the mission assigned to her by the alliance now. She probably won't have time. Let's take a look first."

Zhe also thought about it, but he didn't completely refute the idea proposed by Asu.

Based on his understanding of Sirona, once he knew that there was such a large ruin here, the other party would probably come over non-stop to provide free help.

Just like the big guy next to me who is picking up stones.

"Mr. Daigo, we haven't finished deciphering this area yet, otherwise..."

The researcher, who was sweating, whispered to the side to persuade him.

Dawu waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I know this section. What's written on it is useless nonsense. It just praises the strength of leaders. You can just go aside."

The researcher looked at Asu.

Ah Su motioned to let him play.

With Daigo's character, he can't lie, so it must be all nonsense.

"Where is the unknown totem? It's not here?"

Zheye looked around and found no trace of the unknown totem.

As a qualified trainer who is obsessed with elves, he has no interest in those stones.

Unless it's an evolutionary stone or something.

Asu pointed to the words on the wall: "They are living inside, but they are just hiding from us.

When the research team reaches the text, the unknown totem will appear and attack.

The guard team next to it is responsible for protection."

"Is that so?"

Zheye, who had only learned about unknown totems from books before, nodded clearly.

"Flame Chicken, come out and do me a favor."

He flicked the elf ball and came to a remote corner under Asu's gaze.

The blue light of the waveguide complements the super-powerful purple light.

A black Pokémon with a big eye in the middle suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"It's 'N'."

Zheye sighed casually: "Flaming chicken, catch it."

"Down"

The flame chicken stretched out its claws.

Unknown Totem was restrained with a confused look on his face before he could realize what was happening.

The effect that a single unknown totem can exert is really pitiful.

Tetsuya touched his chin and studied the special elf in front of him with curiosity.

Judging from the current data, there are 28 known unknown totems, corresponding to the 26 character styles of English and the styles of question marks and exclamation points.

Therefore, some people say that unknown totems are actually representatives of people’s cultural heritage in ancient times.

These 26 letters, together with question marks and exclamation points, can meet the needs of almost all language expressions.

The unknown totem caught by Tetsuya and the Flame Chicken looks like the letter "N", with a big eye in the middle of the body, and the structure on both sides is unusually symmetrical.

"How did you discover it?"

Asu asked with a shocked look on his face.

The reason why the ruins of the Elf World are so difficult to fully explore is because of the existence of unknown totems.

Just like the name, they represent the unknown.

Any detection method is invalid in front of them.

Take the large piece of stone wall in front of you where an unknown totem resides.

Although its existence can be seen with the naked eye, in the perception of elves and humans, this thing is actually nothingness.

Zheye shrugged: "That's what I saw."

Well, it mainly relies on size zero.

The densely packed large panel is really impossible to ignore.

If he hadn't considered it to be a bit shocking, he wouldn't have wanted to release the flame chicken to cooperate with him.

Asu glanced at him and chose knowingly without asking any further questions.

It's better to keep secrets from each other.

"Can you find any others?"

When he asked this question, all the unknown totems Zhe could see moved.

After secretly estimating the type and number of the other party, Zheya chose to play dumb knowingly: "It was okay at first, but now I can't find it for some reason, and a lot of them disappeared all of a sudden."

"It's probably hidden. This is what unknown totems look like."

Asu sighed helplessly.

In this case, there is nothing we can do.

On the contrary, Daigo, who was addicted to stones, glanced at Tetsuya thoughtfully at this moment.

He could feel that the other party was lying.

Daigo silently raised his watch and sent a message to Tetsuya.

Tetsuya also replied calmly.

Asu didn't notice anything during the whole process, he was just thinking about the solution with a frown on his face.

The reason Su Tian didn't come to the scene was to train him.

Just then.

"Metrogross/Flame Chicken, use mental power/spray flames!"

Two sounds that sounded at the same time put Asu's brain into standby mode.

No, weren't you fine just now? Why did you suddenly take action?

"No, that's very precious..."

Asu stopped abruptly mid-sentence.

His face became frightened and serious, showing great potential for facial expressions.

Under the attack of the Flame Chicken and the Metagross, the khaki stone wall covered with ghostly symbols turned into black in an instant.

One after another, unknown totems of different shapes appeared in the ruins underground with angry eyes.

That wall was surprisingly made entirely of unknown totems, not stones.

"I just felt like there was something wrong with this stone."

Daigo said with an unhappy look on his face.

He also held an unknown totem that resembled an "x" in his hand.

"The guards cover the retreat of the research team and prepare to cut off the rear!"

While the two were confronting each other with the elves and the unknown totem, Asu also reacted and gave the order.

"Owl, I have to ask you for help this time!"

With a flick of his hand, an owl appeared on Asu's shoulder.

It tilted its head and looked at the densely packed unknown totems ahead, its eyes full of caution.

This offspring of my own trainer can really cause trouble.

I don't know if it was because of the evacuation of a group of researchers, but the unknown totem group became a little commotion.

Obviously, they don't seem to want these "evil guests" to leave here.

As the black shadows moved, they divided into four small groups in an orderly manner, forming a circle.

"*****"

Unexplained cries resounded underground.

Immediately afterwards, a strange light appeared on the bodies of the unknown totems.

Wind blades, flames and electric currents emerged out of thin air, attacking the three elves from the circle they formed.

"Good guy, you actually know how to restrain attributes?"

Including Tetsuya, the humans and elves were all shocked.

Judging from the energy fluctuations, the intensity of these attacks is not weak at all.

It is obvious that these unknown totems cannot even defeat a human being alone, but combined together they are too powerful.

"Alola's tench?"

A kind of spirit suddenly appeared in Tetsuya's mind.

However, the difference between the two is still very big.

The number of weak tench fish required is quite exaggerated due to their strong shoal status.

For unknown totems, only two or more are enough.

After all, the latter is another of the Seven Mysteries of the Elf World. (Note 1)

Despite this, the three of them faced these attacks without any change in their expressions.

"Flaming chicken, rock blockade."

Under the gaze of the unknown totems, a pile of huge rocks surrounded Zheye and the Flame Chicken.

The flying wind blades that came out of the attack hit it, leaving only deep marks, but they did not completely break through the defense.

Metagross and Nighthawk's response methods are more simple and crude.

Being stronger than the Flame Chicken, they directly chose to attack each other.

Under the influence of superpowers, the electricity and flames quickly disappeared.

The light on the unknown totem has become much weaker.

It is difficult for them to understand why the usually invincible combined attack has no effect.

at the same time.

The fourth group of unknown totems wandering outside finally began to shine.

"Actively attack and don't give them a chance to exert their power."

Dawu shouted and brought Asu back from his thoughts.

The previous attack could only be regarded as an appetizer, but now it is the true manifestation of the power of the unknown totem - affecting time and space.

According to Dr. Ohki's research results, the unknown totem actually masters a skill called Awakening Power.

It's just that their awakening power is different from that of normal elves.

Ordinary elves can only master the awakening power of one attribute, while unknown totems can be transformed and even fused without limit.

"boom--"

A huge boulder that was forcibly surrounded made a roar in the air, and hit the unknown totem with the air flow visible to the naked eye.

"Tsk, I've wanted to try this feeling for a long time."

At the source of the boulder, Zheya looked excited next to the Flame Chicken.

Under the sudden attack, the unknown totems did not show any panic.

I saw some unknown totems swaying towards the boulder.

The surrounding formation suddenly spread out into a wide area.

Immediately afterwards, the boulders submerged in their middle began to disappear little by little.

"Metrogross, mentally strong mind."

Dawu's eyes flashed and he commanded Metagross to launch an attack.

"Owl, we are coming too."

Asu quickly followed.

Dazzling purple light exploded in the center of the unknown totem group.

This time, they were not so relaxed.

There is a champion and a quasi-champion, and they are both strong at their respective stages.

The destructive power they can cause is staggering.

In an instant, many unknown totems flew out.
