Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"Ang~"

The huge cry echoed on the sea level.

Most people may not know what this means.

But the crew and sailors had smiles on their faces.

"It's the Howler King. It seems there aren't any very aggressive ocean Pokémon nearby."

"Yes, it seems that we have good luck on this voyage."

"It's better to be careful. If a group of megalodons catches our eye, we'll be in trouble."

"Bah, bah, bah, don't talk nonsense."

Several people were communicating with each other.

The movements of his hands did not slow down.

Silently steer the ship away from the source of the sound.

Compared with most ocean Pokémon, the Whale King's temperament is indeed very good.

However, their bodies are simply too huge.

Even if it is just eating or even turning over, the aftermath is not something that ordinary ships can easily withstand.

As a cruise ship.

They still have to consider the comfort of the passengers on board.

The average body length of the King Howler is 14.5m, and the average weight is only 398kg.

As the largest known Pokémon in the world.

If calculated based on this data, its density is even close to that of air.

If such a strange existence were placed in Zheye's previous life, everyone would shout that it is impossible.

And in the elf world.

Howler King is just one type of Pokémon among many.

The main reason is that the body structure of the Howler Whale King can be regarded as a combination of a submarine and an airship.

It often jumps out of the water in large groups to chase its prey, and raises big splashes.

The water waves created can easily knock most elves unconscious.

When necessary.

The Howler King can also dive to a depth of 3,000 meters with just one breath.

That kind of pressure is something that most elves cannot bear.

It's also popular because it's super huge.

Watching the roaring whale is a very popular tourist attraction everywhere.

Of course.

Most people don't have the financial and material resources to capture a roaring king whale for a show.

Food consumption is not a problem.

The food intake of several tons per day may not be as much as that of Kirby.

More problems still focus on the venue and safety protection.

Considering the size of the Roaring Whale King, if something unexpected happens, the devastation will be huge.

Many passengers also heard the roar of the King Whale.

A trace of fear suddenly appeared on many people's faces.

but.

After listening to other people's explanations, I felt relieved.

"If it's the faraway Kalos region, we might have to worry a little bit more.

After all, there are two terrifying existences, the Broken Rudder and the Toxoplasmosaurus, that like to prey on the Howler Whale King.

But this is the sea area between Kanto and Sinnoh.

The only group of elves who like to take action against the Howling Whale King are the gang of sea rogues.

Even swarms of stinging jellyfish generally don’t target the howling whales because the danger is outweighed by the reward.”

An experienced old man cheerfully spreads knowledge.

He is an old sailor specially arranged by the cruise ship.

The purpose is to prevent panic among guests at this time.

"look--"

A man suddenly exclaimed and pointed to the distant sea level.

A blue-white whale is "flying" strangely in the sky.

The bright moonlight, the giant beasts on the sea, and the surging waves.

The scenery created by the three together made everyone fall into a speechless state for a moment.

This kind of visual impact that hits one's face makes one's legs feel weak and numb.

Half a moment.

Wait until the Howler King disappears.

Only then did people react and started discussing it enthusiastically.

In a private room.

Zheye, who was sitting at the table, also saw this scene through the small window.

"It's really good."

He stretched and sighed.

The advantage of being a trainer is that when you travel to various places, you can see many shocking scenes that ordinary people will never see in their lifetime.

Ancient legends about mythical beasts were also passed down from generation to generation under such circumstances.

"You think so? God of the sea?"

He smiled towards the dark sea outside the window.

"Nice to meet you, friend of the Lugia clan.

It was a pleasure chatting with you this time. See you next time if you have a chance."

A gentle neutral voice sounded in Tetsuya's mind.

The next moment.

In a place that no one has discovered.

The originally dark sea surface finally exuded the color it should have had.

The detectors equipped on cruise ships are naturally very useful for ordinary elves.

But for powerful mythical beasts.

This kind of detection is like air and can be ignored completely.

Tetsuya chuckled lightly.

He also didn't expect that the God of the Sea, who had been "stationed" in the Orange Islands all year round, would suddenly visit.

As for the reason, it was just because he helped another Lugia arrange the location of the little Lugia.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s normal.

The difficulty and quantity of offspring produced by mythical beasts are not comparable to those of ordinary elves.

perhaps.

That little Lugia may be the only Lugia cub in the last dozen, decades or even hundreds of years.

He looked at the blue brilliance wrapped around his arm.

This is a blessing from the God of the Sea to Tetsuya.

As long as he is in the area covered by oceans and rivers, he will not encounter any bad weather.

Most of the sea elves would not take the initiative to attack him.

They will even help you in times of danger.

Compared with the blessing given to Emperor Nabo by another Lugia, this sea god is not a stingy guy.

The light gradually dimmed.

On Tetsuya's wrist, a blue water drop pattern vaguely appeared.

He can feel it.

A cool feeling was slowly entering his mind along his arms.

The damaged mental power is restored at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Just made a simple estimate.

The original recovery time of at least three months was suddenly shortened to three or four days.

If it goes well.

He should be able to use his superpowers normally before arriving at Feile and Almia.

"It's really a coincidence."

Tetsuya smiled again.

No matter how you say it, it is a good thing to regain the use of superpowers.

Looking at the water drop pattern on his wrist, he fell into thinking: "Speaking of which, this should be regarded as the use of water droplets of life, right?

But can Lugia learn the Drop of Life?"

No one can answer this question for him.

After all, as the God of the Sea is an elf with super power and flying type, it seems reasonable to master one more water type life drop.

Among the research results of the doctors, there is no such thing as a skill mastery list for mythical beasts.

"Woo——"

The cruise ship's whistle sounded again.

Unknowingly, a bustling port appeared on the distant sea level.

Even though it's very late now.

The lights on the harbor still shine.

Sinnoh region, Binhai City, officially arrived!

"Winter~"

As the ship docks.

Tetsuya and Zhenghui followed the crowded crowd off the cruise ship.

“Welcome everyone to Sinnoh Coast City~

I hope you can have pleasant travel memories here~”

From the loudspeaker high up, a sweet female voice kept echoing.

Compared with Kanto and Johto.

The weather conditions in Sinnoh are undoubtedly more unique.

Although the northwest has complex terrain and heavy snowfall all year round, the southeast is a holiday destination.

As a sun-drenched city by the sea, Binhai City is not as famous as Rampur in Kanto at all for its beaches.

Take to the city's unique elevated walkway.

The two of them were obviously not used to it.

The solar panels under their feet made them somewhat worried about whether they would be damaged by stepping on them.

This is the energy source of Binhai City and the measures it takes to make up for the lack of urban space.

"Oh! It's so late to arrive at Binhai! Young people still have to go to bed early and get up early to cope with the busyness ahead!"

A passionate voice sounded in front of Zheya and Zhenghui.

The visitor's appearance is somewhat bohemian.

With a red afro paired with a yellow top and some hip-hop pants, anyone would believe that he is a little gangster.

The premise is that you don't care about your face.

"It's Mr. Daye!"

"Why does Mr. Daye appear here?"

"Are you stupid? Don't you know that Mr. Daye is originally from Binhai City?"

The exclamations of the people around made the identity of the future person clear.

It is none other than the current champion of Sinnoh, Daye.

Yes.

At least in this world.

Before Sirona fully debuted and ascended to the championship throne.

The championship of the Sinnoh League was won by Daye a few years ago.

At the age of 26, he officially became the Four Heavenly Fire Kings of Sinnoh. (Note 1)

At the age of 30, he defeated the previous champion and took over as the regional champion.

If Sirona hadn't come out of nowhere, Daye would have maintained this position for a long time.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

"Hahahaha, I've long heard that you are coming, but I've been waiting for a long time."

Daye ignored the looks from people around him.

He happily hugged Tetsuya and Zhenghui's shoulders.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know?"

"You don't know him?"

"I thought you knew him!"

The somewhat dazed two people exchanged information through their eyes.

The conclusions they drew made them even more confused.

Since they don't know each other, how did a regional champion find their heads?

Daye didn't know if he was really big-hearted, or if he didn't think his behavior was strange at all.

"Go, go, go.

I'll take you to our elf center in Binhai City.

There are many beautiful ladies in swimsuits there.”

Daye said carelessly.

"Forehead......"

They looked at each other helplessly.

Tetsuya and Zhenghui didn't resist either.

In public, they are Sinnoh champions after all, so they can't be dragged to a hidden place to kill them.

Come to the Elf Center.

I didn't see the ladies in swimsuits.

Instead, I met Miss Qiao Yin, who had a somewhat bad temper.

"I told you that our center closes at eleven o'clock, so you have to let me work overtime, right?

Do you know that for a young and beautiful girl, staying up late is the biggest enemy?

God, I feel like my skin has deteriorated a lot today."

Miss Qiao Yin didn't care about Daye's champion status at all.

Holding it by ear is a burst of education.

Obviously.

These two people must have known each other for a long time and have a very good relationship in private.

Daye's only way to deal with it is to giggle.

As long as you smile silly enough, Miss Qiao Yin will have nowhere to vent your anger.

He's very good at this.

"Are you the mysterious guests that Daye said?

To make you laugh, he is a bit unreliable.

The room has been arranged, please come with me."

Turning her head, Miss Qiao Yin, who was facing Zheya and Zhenghui, returned to her usual gentle self.

"Wait a minute." Zheye quickly raised his hand, "Although I'm a little embarrassed, can I ask...

Mr. Daye came to us suddenly. Is there something urgent?

Because we originally only planned to find a hotel to spend one night and then set off early tomorrow morning."

"ha?"

Miss Qiao Yin tilted her head rather cutely.

“Daye!

I knew you were unreliable, but I didn’t expect you to be so unreliable! You actually came up to me without even saying hello??"

Miss Qiao Yin, who transformed into a dragon and roared with filial piety, made Tetsuya and Zhenghui understand.

Being gentle and cute is just a professional habit.

Daye suffered a violent storm from Miss Qiao Yin.

The expression on his face was still smiling.

From this point of view.

As expected, he is worthy of being a regional champion, and his mentality is excellent.

I calmed down a little bit.

The four of them, led by Miss Qiao Yin, came to the rest area and sat down.

from her mouth.

Zheya and Zhenghui finally understood why they were looking for them.

To be precise.

It's just Zheya and has nothing to do with Zhenghui.

"Denji, he has become more and more lazy recently, and he even issued badges without fighting.

This is not what an official gym leader should look like.

So we hope that, if possible, Tetsuya, you can go to the Binhai Gym to challenge him once, so that he can rekindle his interest in Pokémon battles."

As a good friend of Daye and Denji, Miss Qiao Yin asked Tetsuya with her hands clasped together.

Denji, the leader of Binhai Gym, nicknamed "Thunder of Binhai".

Just by hearing this name, it is not difficult to know that his Pokémon are mainly electric-type.

His influence on Binhai City is even greater than that of his friend Daye, the Sinnoh champion.

This is no exaggeration at all.

At the same age, it was Denji who single-handedly created the solar panel walkway in Binhai City.

While Binhai City's science and technology and economy have developed rapidly, it has also single-handedly elevated the originally ordinary Binhai Gym to the position of Sinnoh's Eight Dao Gym.

"Denji is very strong."

Daye showed a helpless expression, "In my opinion, he even has the ability to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings in the region."

"But out of his sense of responsibility for the city, Denci chose to stay in the gym and become a gym leader."

Miss Qiao Yin added, "The problem is that the strength of the trainers who come to challenge is too uneven.

He originally loved fighting, but now he finds it more and more boring, so he would issue badges without fighting."

"Qiao Yin and I feel that with Zheye's strength, you can definitely stimulate him."

The two of them seemed to be in perfect harmony with every word they spoke.

"Then why don't Mr. A Liu or Mr. Wu Song come? Mr. Daye, you should have a good relationship with them, right?"

Zhenghui raised questions.

There are very few trainers at the level of the Four Heavenly Kings, but Daye, who is the champion, must know them.

Even familiar.

It’s hard to find something that’s far away, but isn’t it possible to find one that’s close?
