Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

The "friendly greeting" between the two middle-aged men ended with both parties blushing.

Director Kusnogi took Chinatsu Asakawa and Tetsuya into the Museum of the Sea in Keina City, also called the Museum of Marine Science.

"The exhibits on the first floor mainly include samples of ocean water quality, soil and sand, and some are model ships and popular science introductions about the ocean."

He introduced to Tetsuya: "Based on the analysis of the elf researchers, we can roughly guess from some data the reasons for the different distribution of sea elves in various regions, and make some assumptions."

Curator Kusnogi did not recognize Tetsuya's identity.

I just simply thought that he was a close junior of Asakawa Chinatsu.

Why is his face so confusing?

Asakawa Chinatsu watched happily without explaining at all.

The latter was too embarrassed to interrupt the curator's introduction.

Curator Kusnogy continued pointing to a ship model and said: "Our expedition team has been to various parts of the world, and this model of the Royal United was provided by our partners in United a year ago.

However, it is a pity that this luxury passenger ship is still in the drawing stage and construction has not yet started.

Of course, if you travel to Hezhong in the future, you may be able to see it or even board it, which will definitely be a very good experience."

"Expedition team?"

Tetsuya thought about what Director Kusnogi said and felt a little curious.

Asakawa Chinatsu explained with a smile: "Don't think he is a museum director now, but this guy used to be the most famous strait explorer in the entire Hoenn region.

All these samples were collected by him personally before."

"Those are all old almanacs."

Curator Kusnoji waved his hand, but still showed a proud look on his face: "I can't do it now, I can't keep up with my physical strength."

"Why can't you keep up with your physical strength? It's just for your shipyard and those old employees."

Asakawa Chinatsu would not listen to this guy's nonsense, "Just in time, there is a business that asked me to contact you this time, and it's from Yuanda Group.

I guess you've also heard that the Wave Breaker will be officially put into use soon, and they want to find a trustworthy partner in Kaina City to handle related matters."

"Yantian Group? Breaking Waves?"

Curator Kusnoji frowned, showing hesitation.

Zhe is also very strange.

Logically speaking, being able to cooperate with the Yuantian Group in the Fengyuan area should be something that many people dream of.

Why did Director Kusnogi react like this?

"Please." Asakawa Chinatsu was well aware of the twists and turns, "How long has it been since Daisy has been bankrupt? Don't you still care about the past?"

"That's not the case."

Curator Kusnogy shook his head: "We are all old guys who have lost their jobs after bankruptcy, and we have long turned away from these things.

It’s just that the shipyard has received several new shipbuilding orders recently, so it may not be able to spare too many manpower.”

"Let's talk first. We're not busy all the time. It's always good to have a fixed partner."

Asakawa Chinatsu said.

"Yeah." Curator Kusnoji agreed, "I will contact them later. I didn't expect that they would find you as the middleman. It seems that you have developed quite well in the past ten years of traveling outside.

ah."

"After all, I am a king, so don't underestimate me."

Chinatsu Asakawa rolled her eyes, feeling very unhappy with what Director Kusnogi said.

Zheya stood aside and couldn't get a word in at all.

But after listening to these contents, he generally understood.

In addition to being a Channel Explorer, Director Kusnogy was also a former employee of Pansy Holdings.

After Daisy went bankrupt, the wealthy man opened a shipyard in his hometown of Kaina, recruiting a large number of unemployed employees.

From this point of view, there is no doubt that this curator is a good person.

The previous Da Zi Jin and Dewen Company were real competitors, and the relationship between the two parties was quite different. Even the Yuantian Group, which had a good relationship with De Wen Company, also became the target of Da Zi Jin's hostility.

This is one of the reasons why Asakawa Chinatsu said that.

He thought it was because these old employees of Da Zi Jin were not happy to work for their past rivals.

But as Director Kusnogi said, the past has disappeared with the bankruptcy of Pansy.

Even the recent big orders came from Dewen Company.

There is nothing surprising on the first floor of the museum.

Under the leadership of Curator Kusnoji, the three of them quickly arrived at the second floor.

As soon as you come up, you will see two elf props - Deep Sea Scales and Deep Sea Fangs.

Both of these are important props needed for the evolution of pearl oysters, and their value is quite high.

Because when elves like pearl oysters evolve, they will produce a magical pearl that can enhance spiritual power, which is a necessary material for the cultivation of many elves.

Since evolution occurs only once in a lifetime, the price of this kind of pearl has remained high for a long time.

"If you need it later, I can sell you some pearls from the oyster at a low price.

That is to say, this guy Qianxia doesn’t have super-type elves in his hands, otherwise he would have taken advantage of me long ago.”

Director Kusnogi said with a smile.

From the names of Deep Sea Scales and Deep Sea Fangs, it is not difficult to guess where they are produced.

For strait explorers, this harvest has always been one of their sources of income.

"Thank you very much."

Zheye's eyes lit up.

What kind of politeness, we are all friends, talking about this?

There are many elves in his team who need this kind of material to strengthen themselves.

The Flame Chicken who masters the power of waveguides needs it, Pokkiss who knows the super-power skills, and Aluredo needless to say.

Even Doron Mecia, who is still in the developmental stage, can absorb this thing and become stronger - ghost-type elves also have a lot of demand for mental power.

"Then, let's get 12 first."

After estimating the thickness of his wallet and the limit of the other party's endurance, Tetsuya said this.

Curator Kusnogi's face was visibly confused.

Turning to look at Asakawa Chinatsu: "Are you... so rich now?"

He also thought that as the elder, Chinatsu Asakawa paid for the younger generation.

But even for a king-level trainer, buying twelve magical pearls of pearl oysters at once is a huge expense.

Curator Kusnoj even felt that the young man in front of him was a little ungrateful.

Does this guy want to resell it and make money?

Asakawa Chinatsu couldn't hold back anymore, and a strange smile appeared on her face: "Don't look at me, I don't care, this is what you promised me.

This guy is much richer than me."

"ah?"

Curator Kusnogi was completely confused.

Could it be that he is the young master of a certain big family?

It shouldn't be.

He has basically heard of and even met the noble young masters in the Fengyuan area.

This young man is not inside.

"You guy, stop making fun of me and introduce me quickly."

He glared at Chinatsu Asakawa fiercely and realized that this was his old friend who wanted to see a joke.

The latter spread his hands: "I didn't say he was my junior. It's just you who thinks you are right. Don't give him a chance at all."

Looking at the dark face of Director Kusnogi, Asakawa Chinatsu no longer held back and pointed at Tetsuya: "Let me introduce, Tetsuya Tamaki, from Kanto, 19 years old, a king-level trainer.

The purpose of coming to Fengyuan this time is the same as mine, to compete for the official gym leader qualification."

Tetsuya straightened his back subconsciously and pretended to smile friendly towards Director Kusnogi.

I have to say, it feels really good to hear others brag about themselves.

And it didn't go beyond the two's expectations.

After listening to Chinatsu Asakawa's introduction to Tetsuya, Director Kusnogi immediately fell into a daze.

19 years old, king-level trainer.

"Tetsuya Tamaki of Kanto Joban?"

His voice was a little distorted, "That friend of Mr. Daiwu?

The genius boy who saved Nibi and Hua Lan?"

"Well... my relationship with Daigo is indeed okay.

However, Nibi and Guandong are not saved by me, I just exerted a little help."

Zheye nodded.

Obviously.

Although Director Kusnogi does not particularly pay attention to the internal discussions among trainers, he is still very familiar with his partners and the protagonists of several events that have caused a stir in recent times.

"Really, I didn't expect that."

After Curator Kusnogi calmed down, he said with emotion: "I didn't expect you and Chinatsu to actually know each other."

"Hey, hey, hey." Asakawa Chinatsu was a little dissatisfied: "I am an old-timer after all. Is it strange that I know a few trainers with outstanding potential?"

Director Kusnogi ignored him and looked at Tetsuya: "I'm really sorry that I didn't recognize you before.

But the number of 12 magical pearls from the oyster is indeed too much, even if I can’t get them out for a while.”

There was a hint of imperceptible red on his face, and he felt a little embarrassed.

He was the one who said he wanted to sell it at a low price, and he was the one who couldn't get it.

If this were the case for other trainers, they would probably have caused trouble for him a long time ago.

"Indeed." Chinatsu Asakawa also explained for her friend: "The output of these two props is still relatively small, and pearl oysters also need to be carefully selected to evolve, otherwise the quality of the magical pearls will be affected to a certain extent.

Look, how about less?"

"Okay." Zhe shrugged nonchalantly. He also knew that he had said too much just now: "There is no need to lower the price, just give me a discount. Curator, see how many you can sell me."

Curator Kusnoji made an estimate in his mind and gritted his teeth: "You should stay in the Hoenn area for a while, right?

One month, give me one month, I can come up with 8 pills.

For the total price, just give it the market price of 5 pieces, which is a 40% discount."

"Good guy."

Asakawa Chinatsu glared: "Do I have such great respect for you? Why don't you give me some?"

"Get away as far as you want!"

Director Kusnogi glared at Chinatsu Asakawa.

If this guy hadn't watched the show, how could he have sold it at this price?

But he didn't feel too distressed.

Making friends is something that makes everyone happy.

The three of them soon started walking around talking and laughing.

It has to be said that Director Kusnogi’s past was quite glorious.

Almost all kinds of precious items produced in the ocean can be seen on the second floor of this museum.

Tetsuya also discovered many relatively complete shell fossils, dorsal cover fossils, fin fossils and fish fossils.

For these things, once the fossil resurrection technology is fully mature and available, the curator's worth will skyrocket.

He even doubted it.

Is it because Dewen Company has reached a cooperation with Curator Kusnogi because Daigo is interested in these rare stones that only appear in the ocean?

Given the other party's character, this possibility is not impossible.

"Come on, let me take you to visit my shipyard. There are many more things there than here.

When you are free, I will ask you to take you to explore the sea. The scenery under the sea is quite beautiful!"

After having a happy chat, Director Kusnogi even extended an invitation to Tetsuya.

The latter is inevitable.

For him, a human being blessed by the God of the Sea, the ocean can be regarded as half of his back garden.

What's more, he also has a good relationship with Prince Canghai, the mascot of the ocean, so he doesn't have to worry about anything happening.

This time it was Asakawa Chinatsu's turn to be unable to interrupt.

But he didn't care either.

He happily followed the two people who were chatting animatedly towards the shipyard.

Kusnoj Shipyard is located in the east of Kaina City, not far from the port in the northeast.

There are three ordinary yachts parked outside.

It is impossible to tell that this is a shipyard that can cooperate with two large companies, Yuantian and Dewen.

Push open the door.

One after another, strange forces and powerful arms are constantly shuttling through it.

Occasionally, you can also see the shadows of fire elves and grass elves.

The little magnet with electric steel properties is an indispensable and important employee.

The power of elves has long been integrated into various industries in the world, and the abilities of these magical little guys are quite powerful.

The role humans play is more of design and command.

After all, elves don't know how to make ships.

"All hello! All hello!"

Curator Kusnoj shouted at the top of his lungs.

A man with a mustache under his nose ran over immediately: "What's wrong? I'm busy!"

"The Wave Breaker over at Yuantian is going to be partially operated by us. You can see what needs to be prepared."

He briefly explained the situation.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with someone and give you a rough plan."

The man named Du He nodded, turned around and left.

Curator Kusnogy said with a smile: "He is the chief designer of our factory. He worked at Pansy before. He also participated in part of the construction of the Wave Breaker. I guess this is why the Yuantian Group came to me.

One of the reasons."

"As for the exploration of the ocean, just wait - Kaohsiung!!!! Come out!!!"

It's not that he likes to yell.

But in a noisy environment like a shipyard, no one would hear you otherwise.

"Coming, coming! Here it is!"

Under a ship that was probably a submarine, a thin man with glasses and hair flying to the left climbed out.

"Solansi Kaohsiung, an important member of our exploration team."

Curator Kusnogi introduced.
