Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"Speaking of which, Sinnoh and Hoenn don't seem to have New Year's fireworks displays, right?"

"Yes, after all, the customs and customs of each region are different.

But people also have their own New Year festivals."

Ah Si, who has traveled to various regions and has a rich resume, explained with a smile: "In the Fengyuan region, the annual New Year's festival is called the Wishing Festival.

Around the time of the Wishing Festival, there will be meteors streaking across the night sky from time to time. People say this is a gift from the dragon in the sky!

Of course, some people say that it is a precursor to the wishing star.

When meteors pass by enough times, comets will follow.

Every thousand years, on the night of the comet, your wishes will come true."

"It sounds really romantic."

Most of the apprentices at Zhanlan Gym are young children, and their eyes lit up when they heard this.

Zheye, who was listening on the sidelines, smiled.

A gift from the Sky Dragon? There seems to be nothing wrong with that.

After all, given Rayquaza's character, the probability of humans observing meteors is really low.

Especially in the Fengyuan area where its old nest is.

Maybe more than half a month before and after that was Rayquaza's fishing time.

As for the legend of another comet.

"Wish Star Jirachi?"

Of course Tetsuya knew about this "seven-day miracle".

According to legend, it is a fantasy Pokémon that sleeps for seven days before waking up every thousand years, and then falls into a deep sleep again.

He felt that this was probably related to the comet, the source of the opponent's power.

The long return cycle of the comet's elliptical orbit allows Jirachi in the elf world to sense his own power and be awakened only during those few days.

To put it simply, sleeping is more like its own self-protection.

Otherwise, it will quickly become weak and die after losing its source of power.

"Isn't it a little too unromantic?"

Looking at the group of children not far away who were listening with interest, Zheya suddenly shook his head.

In fact, it is also a very good thing to look at the world with a more emotional perspective occasionally.

If everything has to do with strength, it would be a bit un-Pokémon.

Ah Si's New Year's Story Conference continues: "If we go to Sinnoh, the traditional New Year's festival is called the Ice and Snow Festival."

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

A girl with a band-aid on her nose raised her hand: "This is because it snows all year round in most places in Sinnoh.

The temperature is so low, it will be very cold if you wear clothes during a fireworks display in winter!"

"Does it snow all year round? It must be beautiful."

The eyes of many apprentices are full of yearning.

In Kanto and Johto, there are very few places where there is snow.

Especially Zhanlan City, which is close to Hoenn and close to the sea.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is rare to see snow here in more than ten years.

Not to mention big enough to pile up.

Of course, this refers to normal natural snow days.

Judging from the abilities of Pokémon, it is not very difficult to create a short-term temporary snow day.

Just like today before the fireworks display.

"When everyone travels to the Sinnoh region in the future, just look for me when you get to the Curtain City. I guarantee that you will have a great time."

The band-aid girl patted her chest and assured.

"Okay, okay!"

"Li, I want to play the game console. The game city in Curtain City is famous!"

"Stones, there are many interesting stones in Curtain City!"

A group of half-grown children were chatting away.

No one thought this band-aid girl was talking casually.

People are fully capable of this.

She is the future heir of the Veil Fighting Gym.

From this, it is not difficult to see how high Ah Si’s status is in the fighting world.

You must know that the Veil Fighting Gym is also one of the eight major gyms in Sinnoh.

In terms of status, Azure and Curtain are actually the same.

But it happened that the current owner of the Curtain Fighting Gym, Ah Li’s father, chose to send his daughter to Ah Si to study.

And this is under the premise that it is impossible to learn the core content of Zhanlan Gym.

Anyway, the more contact he gets, the more Zheya feels that his senior brother is not simple.

Ah Li is also worthy of his status as the heir of the fighting gym.

But at the age of ten, she already had the nickname "Barefoot Genius Fighting Girl".

This is the honor she earned with countless scars in fighting competitions.

"Brother Tetsuya, will you go to Curtain City in the future?"

While a group of companions were chatting animatedly, Li quietly touched Zheye's side.

"I have something to ask you."

She said with a blush.

"Is it related to your father?" In more than a week of life, Zheye has learned a lot about the personalities and experiences of several outstanding apprentices in Zhanlan Dojo.

Therefore, it was not difficult for him to guess the purpose of Ah Li coming to him.

"Yes." Ah Li nodded sheepishly, "If it were you, Brother Zheye, you should be able to find a way to stop dad from staying in the game city all day long."

She looked at Tetsuya with hope in her eyes.

Zheya smiled helplessly.

It's also strange to say.

Every powerful trainer has some inexplicable hobbies.

For example, Ah Li’s father’s hobby happens to be playing video games.

I don’t know how this middle-aged man managed to maintain his passion for it for decades.

Anyway, in the eyes of his daughter, this was a sign of not doing his job properly.

"Well, I think you need to go back and talk to your father in person about this matter.

When you inherit the gym from him, give him a good beating and he will be convinced."

Of course it is impossible for Tetsuya to interfere in other people's own affairs.

This is not good from any perspective.

But that didn't stop him from instigating Ah Li.

There was hesitation in Ah Li's eyes.

Beating up his own father? This seems a little bad, right?

"Don't worry, you are his precious daughter. If you can defeat him, I guess it's too late for your father to be happy."

Is this so?

Hearing what Zheya said, Li suddenly realized.

Then he nodded heavily: "I understand, Brother Tetsuya, I'm going to continue training!"

She walked out barefoot with a determined look on her face.

Ah Si, who heard the whole story on the sidelines, was speechless: "You...

Based on what I know about that guy Xiao Li, I guess he will indeed be extremely happy.

Then he would leave everything to Ah Li and run to the game arcade to play games.

Speaking of which, why don't you find some time to inherit the Blue Gym, and I'll be able to travel around the world with your sister Yuriko."

"Brother Fourth, why are you like this?"

Zheya covered his forehead, feeling helpless.

Ah Si rolled his eyes: "What kind of good job do you think a gym leader is?

Apart from the fact that we have some status and respect, we are working very hard every day dealing with affairs, and we don't even have time to sleep.

Not to mention that the league still doesn’t give me holidays and bonuses, which is really stingy as hell.”

Tetsuya would not listen to Ah Si's words: "If I remember correctly, sister Riko is in charge of all matters in our Zhanlan Gym, right?

Fourth Brother, apart from signing your signature, you also exercise and train disciples every day."

"Well..."

Ah Si smiled coquettishly, unable to make any retort at all.

"That's right, I didn't even bother to sign, just let me do it."

Fujiki appeared out of nowhere and expressed his approval of Tetsuya with a face of approval.

He raised the surfboard in his hand: "Today's weather is very suitable for surfing! Tetsuya, do you want to come and try it?"

In terms of seniority, Zheya can be regarded as Fujishu's uncle.

However, it is obvious that neither of them really wants to call each other "Uncle" or "Nephew".

After all, Fujiki is a few years older than Tetsuya.

After several discussions, Ah Si also agreed to the young people's different ways of addressing each other.

The only requirement is that the ceremony must be more formal.

"No, let's forget it."

Looking at the weather outside, and then at Fujishu, who was shirtless and wearing beach shorts, Tetsuya was amazed and waved his hand to reject the other party's invitation.

How much obsession do you have to have to choose to go surfing at this time?

"Surfing? Have you completed your exercise mission today? Fujishu! Why are you so slack!"

Ah Si educated him from the side with a dark face.

But still no one pays attention to him.

Fujiki had a look of pity on his face: "I was also thinking of exchanging surfing skills with Tetsuya. You showed yourself to be quite proficient in surfing before.",

"There's nothing there." Zheye touched the back of his head embarrassedly, "Just for fun."

The two of them were communicating passionately, completely ignoring Ah Si's existence.

"Master, my wife asked you to dry your clothes before leaving, but you don't seem to have done it.

Let me remind you, my wife will be back from visiting her friends in half an hour~"

Just when Ah Si was about to get angry, Teng Shu's light words made him panic.

"What! It's over! I forgot!"

Ah Si's wailing sound suddenly sounded, "Guai Li, hurry up and follow me, use the flame fist to dry the clothes!"

"Nicky, nicky, yucky"

Looking at the two figures running out one after another, Zheye shrugged: "Let's make a bet, I think Brother A will burn his clothes."

"I bet the yard will burn down."

"It shouldn't be a problem in snowy weather. I think it's enough to burn down a room."

I don't know when, a group of familiar people came together and expressed their opinions.

Its cheerful appearance fits the festive atmosphere very well.

It’s just that the object of discussion is not very conventional.

...

Early the next morning.

"Do you really want to go now?"

Yuriko asked with some reluctance about the entrance and exit of Zhanlan City.

Zheye nodded: "Well, I think we still need to prepare some time in advance. One month will allow the elves to better adapt to the venue there."

"Indeed, adaptability to the venue is very important."

Ah Si nodded solemnly from the side.

If he didn't have so many big bumps on his head, this would still be very convincing.

"Besides, haven't the applications from the alliance come in? I can just go there and have a look."

Zheye said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely stay in Zhanlan City for a few more days after the conference."

"You said the same thing when you came back before, but you ended up staying for a week." Yuriko sighed, "I know that the food I made was not delicious enough, and our Tetsuya didn't like it anymore."

As she spoke, she covered her face as if she was about to cry.

Tetsuya and Ah Si gestured to each other wildly with their eyes.

"My acting skills don't seem to be very good."

"You don't care whether she can do it or not. Believe it or not, that's it."

"Believe it or not? Brother Si, I misjudged you. Even though Sister Yuriko is crying so sadly, you don't even try to comfort her."

"This is obviously your mistake, right? Why should I pay for it?"

The two brothers winked and winked, their faces flushed.

"You two!"

Yuriko put her hands on her hips violently.

"We are very sorry that we were wrong and we will correct it next time."

Tetsuya and Ah Si instantly apologized with a ninety-degree bow.

It was so fast that there was even a gust of wind.

"Pfft"

Yuri was immediately amused by the tacit understanding between the two of them: "Okay, no more joking."

She looked at Tetsuya: "Don't let anything happen when we go out this time. Your fourth brother and I are very worried about you."

Tetsuya grinned: "Don't worry, Sister Yuriko, I will be a good person and never cause trouble."

But if something happens to me, it's beyond my control.

He added silently in his heart.

Yuriko was obviously very satisfied with his guarantee: "Okay, if something happens, your fourth brother won't be able to go home and sleep."

Ah Si's face turned bitter.

No, why should Tetsuya be responsible for what he caused? This is unreasonable!

But when facing his wife, he could only nod in agreement with tears in his eyes.

"Then I'm leaving~"

Flying on Bidu's back, Tetsuya waved to Ah Si and his wife on the ground, "Remember to come to the Silver Conference~"

"Yes, please don't stretch your crotch~"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be better at drying clothes than Fourth Brother!"

Ah Si's laughter and curses echoed in the suburbs of Zhanlan City.

...

Silver Mountain is a huge mountain located in the east of the Johto region, west of the Kanto Champion Road and the Quartz Plateau.

The most famous one is not the current alliance headquarters in the Johto area.

But it is the quasi-god family in the Johto area, Banguilas.

This is the only place in the world where a "large number" of Banguiras live together.

Well, the so-called large amount is also a relative term.

Really speaking in terms of quantity.

If you look at any small town, there may be many times more green caterpillars in the wild forest outside the town.

As a powerful elf with the title of "Desert Tyrant", Banguilas is a partner that many people desire.

Therefore, countless poachers turn their greedy eyes to Baiyin Mountain every year.

Although none of them succeeded, the excessive profit expectations still led many people to continue.

And in a location near the foot of the mountain.

A small temple the size of an ordinary house is packed with people.

Everyone walked in and out with expressions of admiration on their faces.

Everything seems very harmonious.

A sudden shout disrupted everything.

"It's not good, it's not good, the abbot is not good!"

A little novice monk ran into the temple and shouted in a panic: "The guards were attacked by wild elves again!"

"What?"

Many people looked shocked.

Why is this place attacked by wild elves?

Of course, many people watched calmly, with a smile on their lips.

"Let me think about it...

The last time I encountered something like this was when I met Dr. Kongmu in Ruoye Town?"

Zheye, who was mixed in the crowd, thought speechlessly.
