Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

Baiyin Town at the foot of Baiyin Mountain.

It serves as the venue for the Johto Conference.

Although it is a town, Baiyin Town is actually no smaller than some cities.

Even more prosperous in some ways.

Looking down from the sky, the entire structure of Baiyin Town looks like a letter "Y".

On both sides there are wide rivers leading to the sea.

The amphitheater where the championship is decided is located in the middle of the town.

A little further to the north is the Elf Center, known as the largest and most luxurious in the Johto area - the entire body is made of glass, with a shape similar to unfolded wings and a three-dimensional sharp-angled structure.

In terms of floors alone, it is 33 stories high.

at the same time.

With the circular arena as the center, the Silver Elf Center also forms a larger circle with the venues for the selection and preliminaries stages.

The four rectangular venues for the preliminaries are located on both sides of the Elf Center, and together with the Elf Center form the upper semicircle.

The many small rectangular venues in the examination selection stage are located in the southeast and southwest in an orderly manner, forming the lower semicircle together with the main road entering Baiyin Town.

This makes the entire Baiyin Town look particularly symmetrical and beautiful.

Not only that, there are extremely luxurious athlete villages located on the two branches of its "Y" shaped structure.

Entertainment facilities, restaurants, training venues, shops, etc. are all available.

Not only that, the equipment in the room is also much better than that of the Quartz Conference.

"Pap tap tap tap"

In a single room near the beach.

The sound of mouse clicks keeps ringing.

"I didn't expect that the traditional Johto area's use of technology is much better than that of Kanto. It's really interesting."

Sitting in front of the computer, Tetsuya stretched his neck, which was a little tired from sitting for a long time.

On the computer table in front of him, there were two thick stacks of paper materials.

One left and one right.

If you look carefully, you will see that they all record general information about the trainer and the opponent's elf.

As the saying goes, strategically despise the enemy and tactically pay attention to the enemy.

Although the six elves who joined the team first, led by Flame Chicken and Bidu, have already reached the King level.

Ke Zhe is still an ordinary elite-level trainer in the alliance's entry information.

As long as you are at the elite level, it is still possible to lose.

What if there is a guy like him?

Although the probability is small, it is equivalent to Groudon taking off on the spot, but it cannot be completely ignored.

therefore.

After returning from Hoouin yesterday, Tetsuya devoted himself to the hard work of collecting intelligence.

Compared with the Quartz Conference, the information collection at the Silver Conference is much simpler.

In each player's room, the Johto League is equipped with a computer connected to the conference information registration center.

From the computer, each player can get general information about all the trainers participating in the conference.

Such as name and gender.

The most important thing is that the types of participating elves registered by the trainer will also be clearly visible on it.

Just like the passerby Ren that Tetsuya is looking at now.

"Ren Ren, the currently registered elves are: two Chuanshan King, one Three-Gang Rat, one Rumbling Stone, one Rumbling Rock, and one Armored Tyrannosaurus."

There are six elves in total.

There are only names and quantities, no grades.

After all, the specific strength of the elves is still relatively secret information, and it is impossible for the alliance to make it public. It is already very good to have these two.

At least it's better than trying to collect it yourself through other channels.

Obviously, the attributes that this passer-by is good at are ground and rocks.

From a cultivation perspective, such an elf lineup will indeed be very convenient.

You don’t even need to put too much thought into the design of the elf recipes.

But the same.

Such a lineup will undoubtedly suffer some disadvantages in regular battles.

Once the opponent is a trainer who specializes in water-type Pokémon, then this passerby will be beaten to the point where he doesn't even know where he is.

Unless his strength is far ahead of his opponent.

but.

It is not difficult to see from the presence of the Longlong Stone and the Iron-armored Tyrannosaurus that this passerby is not that strong.

It must have taken him a lot of effort to gather eight official gym badges.

After all, a year has passed, and information such as Pokémon communication evolution is no longer a secret.

Not only the evolution of Rumble Stone into Rumble Rock, but also the conditions for the evolution of Iron Tyrannosaurus into Super Iron Tyrannosaurus were announced on the Elf Forum.

In this case, there are still Rumblestone and Super Iron Tyrannosaurus in the main team.

It can only mean that this passerby’s economic conditions may not be particularly good.

It can be inferred that his strength can only barely sustain the daily consumption of six Big Stomach King elves, with only a slight surplus.

"I guess he is another standard elite-level trainer."

After assessing his strength, Tetsuya put the paper containing the opponent's information into the pile of materials on the left with a dull expression.

Compared with the data on the right, the data on the left is at least dozens of times higher.

The former only has a few dozen sheets, while the latter starts with at least a thousand sheets.

The criteria for differentiation are also very simple.

That is to see whether he has the strength of a quasi-king.

For this kind of thing, as long as you have a name and information, it's not difficult to find information.

It means the workload will be huge.

Unless someone like Tetsuya has super powers as support.

Otherwise, normal trainers would not go out of their way to read everyone's information bit by bit.

Of course.

Tetsuya's prediction is not 100% correct.

It is very likely that some trainers will not take out their ace elves for registration in the early stage of the selection meeting.

The main thing is that losing one game in the selection stage does not mean that you will not be able to enter the top 48 of the Silver Conference.

This is a conclusion reached after comprehensive consideration.

Therefore, many trainers choose to hide part of their strength.

But it's also limited.

If the car accidentally overturned, there would be no place to cry.

Once you lose a game, the ace elf will definitely be registered in the inventory.

For example, the passerby just now.

If he had a quasi-god Benjilas as a hidden trump card.

The strength of the entire team will rise by at least two levels.

Even if it is just the simplest Sandstorm team, it is still a very powerful tactical system.

It's just that the possibility is pitifully low.

"The level of participation in the Silver Conference is still slightly higher than that of Kanto."

Looking at the information, Zheye frowned subconsciously, "No wonder they keep saying that Kanto is a bit inactive. It's really like this."

Although the participants of regional conferences usually come from all over the world, the development of the host area in recent years can also be roughly seen from the situation of each session.

If the strength of local young trainers is not strong enough, their appeal to foreign participating trainers will also be much weaker.

Who knows that trainers are a group of people who rise to difficulties.

Most trainers who can obtain eight badges don't have much interest in bullying the weak.

Only strong opponents and honor are their pursuits.

"More"

The Flame Chicken opened the door and walked in, calling his boss.

"Oh? Is it time to eat? Okay."

Zheye nodded and stood up from the computer desk.

"What do you want to eat today? Kabimon Restaurant? Or Green Onion Duck Restaurant?"

He asked casually while putting on his shoes for going out.

"Beep~"

"kia"

"Chirp~"

One after another screams echoed in the room.

"Okay, okay, I understand. Wait for me for a while. I'll be back soon."

"Bang--"

As Zheye walked out of the room, the noise also reached his eardrums.

"Come and buy it, the Silver Competition Wish Talisman~

The more you buy, the better your luck and the greater your probability of winning~

This is a specialty from the Fengyuan region~"

"Take a look and take a look. These are freshly baked high-quality rocks. They are all transported hard from Mount Tsukimi in Kanto. Rock-type and ground-type trainers must not miss them~"

“Buy fossils, buy fossils, buy all fossils~

As long as you have collected ancient biological fossils in your backpack, we will purchase them at a high price~"

The cries of vendors echoed throughout the entire contestant village.

There is an IQ tax, and there are really useful things.

As for which one is worthy of the selling price, it depends on the trainer's ability to distinguish.

at the same time.

The vendors near the player village also played a part in monetizing the event.

In addition to sales, there are also many stalls that purchase various props and products.

The price will definitely be cheaper, but the advantage is convenience and speed.

The atmosphere of life fills the player village.

The tense atmosphere of the examination selection meeting was relieved a lot.

"Don't miss it, today's sale ends in half an hour. These are the freshest fruits~"

"Yes, yes, meow, this is very new~"

"Thank you. This is the tree fruit you purchased. Welcome to visit next time~"

Just as Tetsuya was walking towards the restaurant, three familiar voices appeared near him.

When I turned around, I saw that it was the Rockets trio.

It's just that they are not wearing Team Rocket uniforms now, but dressed normally.

Kojiro is responsible for hawking, Miao Miao is responsible for attracting people, and Musashi is responsible for collecting money.

The three of them worked very well together without any trouble.

Zheye smiled and walked over.

"Well, I'll take care of all the remaining orange fruits."

A male voice sounded in Miaomiao's ear.

"Oh my gosh, my dear guest, are you ready to take all the remaining orange fruits, meow?"

Meow meow the whole cat jumped up.

This is a big business.

"You arrived so early."

At this moment, it heard Kojiro say to the visitor.

Zheye touched Miaomiao's head, and it was very smooth: "Get there early, finish the game early, and prepare for the championship early."

"It turns out it's you, meow."

Miao Miao said with a mixture of happiness and disappointment.

I was happy to meet Kojiro's friend.

Since he is Kojiro's friend, he is also his friend.

What's disappointing is that the remaining orange fruits probably won't be sold out all at once.

Fortunately, it was happy for a while just now.

"Kojiro! Meow meow! Don't do nothing! This is the time when we make a lot of money!"

Musashi, who was busy at the stall on the other side, did not notice Tetsuya's arrival.

When she noticed that the two of them were showing signs of laziness, she yelled loudly.

If Kojiro hadn't suggested selling things during the Silver Tournament, Musashi wouldn't have known that it was so easy to get money.

Of course, the role played by meow is very important.

The fruits sold by the trio are not actually fresh fruits, but ones that have been stored for a long time.

Their purchase price was less than one-third of the selling price.

But except for senior breeders, few trainers can intuitively see the freshness of tree fruits.

Especially when the trio also did some tricks.

The reason why people buy it is entirely for Meow Meow's sake.

A businessman who can own a talking meow must not lie to others. There is no need.

And Miaomiao said it was fresh.

Elves don't lie.

This is what the trainers think.

Obviously, they are a little too young and naive.

"Why don't you hurry up and tell me."

Tetsuya smiled and patted Meow Meow.

"You really want it?"

Meow Meow's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then he became a little confused: "But...but..."

"Don't worry, I know it has other uses."

Seeing what Zheya said, Meow Meow immediately rushed to Musashi's side: "Musashi Musashi, there is someone who wants to buy all the remaining orange fruits. It's a big order!"

"real?"

Musashi's eyes, which were collecting money, suddenly turned into the shape of money, "Hurry, don't let him run away!"

"Okay, I won't stop you from making money, I still have to prepare lunch for my elves, come on."

After paying the money and taking the fruit, Tetsuya said goodbye to the trio and left the stall.

"What a good man, meow~"

Meow Meow looked at Tetsuya's back and sighed.

"Of course, that's my best friend, hahahaha." Kojiro put his hands on his hips and was very happy.

Under the sun, a necklace with a bottle cap engraved with wind chimes sparkled around his neck.

Wait until Tetsuya finishes buying lunch and goes back.

The trio's stall has disappeared to no one knows where.

Based on their personalities, they probably don’t have the concept of business licenses or paying taxes.

Moreover, trainers will also come to trouble after discovering the quality of the fruit.

Running away after selling is the best option.

Zhe Ye picked up a bag of orange fruits that were not too heavy and smiled silently.

For him, spending less than 10,000 yuan is nothing.

The trio's principal is there, and there is no way to expand the scale.

We are all friends anyway, so it doesn't matter if we stop by and do a favor.

What's more, these orange fruits can be used to feed the elves in the wild.

Tetsuya will have to rely on them to train two little dragon-type guys this month.

"Eat and eat~ There will be a game in the afternoon after dinner~ This time it will be decided that you, the Emperor Nabo!"

"Bojia! Oh, cough..."

"Eat slowly, don't be nervous, I'll show you the world~"

In the players' room, the exchanges between trainers and elves could be heard faintly.

Situations like this happen in many places at the same time.

Looking at Baiyin Town from above, the crowd was as dense as ants walking towards the battle site, which was not much bigger.

"No. 2 of Group E, Tetsuya Tamaki from Joban, Kanto, versus Olan from Drew, the game begins!"
