Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Tetsuya frowned.

On the trainer forum, there really aren't many discussions about Cerulean Cave.

And most of it is useless nonsense.

He felt that there was serious doubt whether this group of people had entered the Hualan Cave.

Judging from what Minglan meant, the risk factor inside was much higher than he imagined.

After all, the other party knows his strength.

Even so, she warned him so carefully.

Minglan shook her head helplessly: "Let's put it this way, when I went deep into the water once, I encountered a fast-swimming frog whose level was infinitely close to the championship level.

If I hadn't brought all the elves with me just in case, I might have handed over my old life in there."

"hiss."

Zheya took a deep breath instantly.

Let's be clear here.

With Minglan's strength, it would not be difficult to deal with a fast-swimming frog who is near the peak of a championship.

The problem is.

There are basically no elves of this level in the wild who walk alone.

A group consisting of one king-level and several quasi-king-level fire monkeys numbered four to five hundred, let alone a group whose leader was at the pinnacle of the quasi-champion level.

Excluding the newborn elves who are not very capable of fighting, there are still a huge number of four figures.

Of course, in Hualan Cave, this number may have to be cut in half.

But unfortunately.

The half that was cut off was basically ordinary-level "cannon fodder."

The remaining ones are the real main force of the battle.

Elite level, quasi-King level, and even a very small number of King level.

It is no exaggeration to say that even if they are all elite-level, with more than 300 or 400 individuals placed there, the champion-level elves will feel numb just looking at them.

The reason why the elite level is named is because elves who have grown to this stage of strength basically have very good combat experience.

Their strong bodies and sufficient energy are enough to allow them to display their strength in battle with their rich experience.

Think about it from another angle.

Even if there is one water gun, it will take nearly ten minutes to accurately hit one shot per second.

Given this time, the opponent's boss might have torn the trainer into pieces long ago.

The elves in the wild won't tell you any formal rules for fighting.

Once it discovers that you are giving orders, it will immediately find you and attack crazily.

Capturing the thief first is a very useful tactic.

The elves know this too.

"In short, the Cerulean Cave's risk factor is one of the highest in the entire elf world. The Alliance has not yet figured out the specific conditions inside. You must be extremely careful if you want to go in and explore."

Ming Lan said.

Zhe also smiled: "When you say that, I'm even more curious."

No wonder Mewtwo will stay here in the future.

It seems like there must be some secrets inside.

It's a pity that I didn't play too many games in my previous life, so I don't know what the specific situation was like.

Zhe also admitted that sometimes, human curiosity is really a very fatal thing.

Seeing this, Minglan shook her head faster.

He also came here when he was young, so he naturally knows what a trainer of his age is thinking.

It’s not like I’m the boss of heaven and earth, but I’m definitely not worried about my own strength being unable to cope with emergencies.

"This is the relevant record I left behind during my previous exploration. Take it."

As Ming Lan spoke, she took out a notebook with a slightly yellowed cover from the inside of her clothes.

“But it’s not very useful as a reference. The last time I entered was three or four years ago.

Not only the migration of the elves, but also the terrain inside may have changed a lot, so you still have to adapt accordingly."

he added.

"Thank you very much."

Zheya didn't refuse, but took the note directly.

I took it and looked through it roughly.

It even records the general circumstances of Minglan's first entry into Hualan Cave more than thirty years ago.

With these things, he can also have a preliminary understanding.

"The situation of your generation is much better than ours.

There was no Pokémon watch more than thirty years ago, let alone a Pokémon Pokédex.

When traveling, the only source of information is the handwritten notes of other trainers. If there are any inaccuracies, you will be in big trouble."

Looking at Tetsuya, who was fully armed and looked like a modern Pokémon trainer, Minglan suddenly felt emotional for some reason.

Tetsuya carefully put the manuscript away and responded: "You can't say that. Without the exploration and improvement of senior trainers, even Dr. Ohki wouldn't be able to develop the Elf Illustrated Book, right?"

In the elf world, powerful trainers are always the most respected people.

Occupations such as breeders, elf researchers, and coordinators are all developed based on trainers and elves.

Technology is no exception.

The most important thing is.

Tetsuya knew this was just the beginning.

The emergence of the Rotom illustrated book in the future truly represents the initial integration of elves and technology.

3D dragons and the like are just an unexpected product.

There are even enchantment packages similar to ancient ruins around the battle site, instead of relying on powerful super elves to maintain order like now.

Ming Lan nodded and shook his head: "When I get older, I like to talk about these things.

Anyway, just be careful, I don't want my good granddaughter to lose her teacher soon after she just started studying with you."

"Don't worry, I cherish my life very much."

Tetsuya's eyes sparkled with a different light.

In the next few days, he held the notes given by Ming Lan and read them carefully.

Due to the passage of time, the fonts above are somewhat unclear.

But it does not prevent useful information from being read.

"So, there are several underground rivers inside Hualan Cave, which are basically connected to the ocean outside.

Not only will there be elves unique to Kanto, but also types from Johto, Sinnoh and even Hoenn are not too rare.

But the most powerful and common elves are still mainly from Kanto.

Including the big-mouthed bat group, the Gotha duck group, the Longlong stone group, the armored tyrannosaurus group and the mosquito-repellent king group."

One morning.

As Zheye walked on the road, he recalled the records in his notes.

"There are also many props produced there, not only the precious ones such as the scales of the heart and the big pearl, but also the precious ones such as the stone of darkness and black sludge.

Since wild elves are generally very powerful, the probability of birth is not low and can be considered directly proportional to the risk factor."

This is why even though the Cerulean Cave has not yet been discovered, the alliance is still open to some trainers.

In terms of resource richness, this place is no worse than Tokiwa Forest.

"As for the Dark Stone, there might be ghost elves in it?"

Zhe also calculated carefully.

Fortunately, he is different from ordinary trainers.

Having mastered super powers, he has no worries about falling into the trap set by ghost elves.

Unless the opponent is strong enough to be at the championship level.

The difference between whether he is trapped or not is not particularly big. Anyway, he is GG.

He rubbed the hands that he had "ravaged" before setting off.

Zheya looked at the mountains in the distance and narrowed his eyes.

"Bitu, let's go."

Seeing that he had already left the suburbs of Hualan City, he decisively released his tool bird.

"Beep——"

soon.

With a sharp bird song, one person and one elf disappeared into the morning mist and white clouds.

Only the trees that were bent by the withering wind were left.

When Tetsuya landed again, a heavily guarded small village appeared in front of him.

"Hello, please show me your pass."

The trainer dressed as a guard led Helu and stared closely at the young man who suddenly came.

It wasn't until the other party took out his pass to verify his identity that he relaxed his vigilance.

"You can move around at will within the village. When you enter the underground cave, you need to inform Miss Qiao Yin at the Elf Center. We need to record the approximate time you entered.

If you find any traces of dark organizations or poachers, please report it immediately and we will handle it as quickly as possible."

The guard gave a brief explanation and then let Tetsuya enter the village.

The village is not big, but it has all the necessary facilities.

Not only was there the elf center that the guard said, but there were also elf shops selling various goods. He even saw the mission center of the Bounty Hunter Association.

This is not surprising.

The various materials produced by elves become more and more valuable as their strength increases.

It would be abnormal for the Bounty Hunters Association, which has a very keen sense of making money, not to open a mission center here.

For example, the fangs of the big-mouthed bat, the saliva and mucus of the big tongue, and the unicorn shed from the armored tyrannosaurus are in great demand in the market, let alone produced by elite individuals.

"Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't done any tasks for a while."

Tetsuya murmured to himself.

Since traveling to the Chengdu area, the source of most of his income has become cooperation with Abi Asu.

Another part is the cooperation with Manjin Radio.

Among the rest, many of the bounties obtained from completing tasks are private entrustments and do not go through the channels of the Bounty Hunters Association.

Bounty hunting, the profession that made him rich in the first place, has gradually become somewhat marginalized.

Only when the time is right will Tetsuya take over the task and complete it smoothly.

no way.

Those high-paying tasks with no time limit are really in demand.

It is impossible for Zhe who is passing by while traveling to squat like other local trainers. He can only try his luck.

"You're already here, let's go in and take a look."

While he was thinking, he pushed open the door of the mission center.

Familiar instruments, familiar work uniforms.

What is different from the mission centers in other cities is that there are only trainers in twos and threes with less than double digits.

The aura exuded by everyone is very strong.

Ignoring the scrutinizing glances they cast, Zheya walked to an instrument, inserted his ID card, and browsed for tasks.

"Task number 28654354 (long-term), 365 scales of the desire to buy, 50,000 alliance coins each (289 pieces are currently missing)."

"Task number 45678654 (long-term), I am looking for a dark stone with quality above 80. The price is negotiable."

"Task number 34888902 (long-term), I want to purchase ten pairs of love fish, the price is negotiable (there are currently eight pairs missing)."
