Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"There are no other elves here. They must have been driven away by the group of spiny shells. Go get those water stones."

After briefly observing the surrounding situation with his superpower, Tetsuya said to Solansi Kaohsiung.

The latter nodded and swam upward quite quickly.

These water stones stuck on the rock wall are not difficult to remove.

It's just that each one is separated by a certain distance and takes a lot of time.

at the same time.

Tetsuya and Chinatsu Asakawa also dealt with something of certain value on these spiny shells - the spikes on their shells.

Although the spiny shell is known for its defensive capabilities, its shell is hard enough to withstand most attacks.

But in fact, the thorns it uses to pierce its opponents are much harder than its shell.

A large number of spears made from the spikes pulled from the shells have been unearthed from the ancient tombs of hunting peoples.

Although this primitive weapon is no longer needed for hunting, the spikes on the shell of the spiny shell still have a wide range of uses.

Of course.

Not all spikes are worth acquiring.

An elite-level spiny shell can only have 3-5 spikes at most and can be sold for a good price.

And in many cases, this number will drop by one or two due to the frequency of this spiny shell's battles.

The two of them collected it for a long time.

The sixteen elite-level and quasi-king-level spiny shells in front of me provide a full 70 spikes with standard hardness.

This is a quite surprising number.

"It seems that they live very comfortably here, without too many irritable neighbors."

Chinatsu Asakawa made a judgment.

Zhe also nodded in agreement.

If fights between groups occur every once in a while, the spikes of these spiny shells will be more severely damaged, and they will not be able to produce an average of 4 more.

This is actually a good thing for them.

At least it proves that the danger from wild elves here is within a range that can be easily dealt with.

Most of the vigilance can be left to the Marine Team, who are also humans.

Solans' work in Kaohsiung is also coming to an end.

"There are not as many as expected, there are only 14 water stones, and the rest are some fluorescent stones that are not fully formed or have no effect.

The quality is only about 70, which is not much different from what was expected.”

His tone was a little pity.

I was too excited just now, thinking that the top of my head was all water stones.

But now that I have come back to my senses, I realize that this is not realistic.

Although the water energy in this area is rich, it cannot breed so many water stones.

What's more, the group of spiny shells didn't know how many shells were consumed.

"That's right, even if it is sold according to the transaction price in the Fengyuan area, it is still worth almost 200 million alliance coins.

This is just the first cave, there are so many more to come.”

Chinatsu Asakawa looked quite happy.

Earning tens of millions easily is much more enjoyable than doing some dangerous tasks.

At the beginning of the cooperation, they agreed on the price basis for various things they might get, and water stone was one of them...

Between each region, the price of evolutionary stones with different attributes will fluctuate due to demand and production and other reasons.

Like the Fengyuan region, due to its geographical characteristics, the output of water stones is much greater than that of Kanto and the city.

However, there is not much difference in the types and numbers of common water elves in the three regions.

Only a few species are endemic to the region and have little impact.

This results in the price of water stones in the Hoenn region being a few percentage points lower if they are of the same quality.

Although it seems that the individual price has little impact, the quantity is still quite impressive.

Observational.

And because evolutionary stones are considered semi-strategic materials in the elf world.

Therefore, it cannot be sold across regions at will.

It's okay to sell one or two for a single person.

It is normal for trainers to gain something while traveling.

Once the quantity is increased, the relevant departments within the alliance may have to come to visit.

Tetsuya couldn't take the water stone back to Kanto and become a second-rate dealer just for those few percentage points. It would be a waste of time.

So just exchange it directly for alliance coins through the exploration team.

They were able to sell it at a high price because of their ability, and Zheya didn't want to bother looking for urgent buyers for the millions of alliance coins he got.

"And these spikes are worth several million. They are the products of elites and quasi-kings."

Zhe Ye said as he shook the sack in his hand.

Otherwise, how can we say that elf cultivation is a bottomless pit?

After spending 20 to 30 million dollars, I finally managed to cultivate a big-tongued clam into an elite spiny shell of level 40 or above.

As a result, the total value of the items on my body was only over six figures.

Fortunately, trainers are pursuing strength rather than financial returns.

Otherwise, it will definitely be a loss.

"Let's go, I can't wait to see what's waiting for us in the next cave."

Stuff things into the space backpack.

Solansi Kaohsiung looked excited.

The three of them continued to move along the pre-planned route in the order they came in.

In a long and dark tunnel.

Occasionally, a few fish elves with shining symmetrical patterns can be seen advancing on the seabed.

That's a neon fish.

It uses the two long fins on its chest as feet to crawl along the seafloor, and the light emitted by its patterns is used to lure prey.

If the quantity is large enough.

These lights will look just like the stars in the night sky on the seabed, and they are particularly beautiful.

This just proves the timeless truth that in the wild, the more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are.

"Be careful, there might be a lamp monster nearby."

And about this.

The three of them knew it well, and Tetsuya even gave a clear reminder.

Neon fish and electric lamp monsters are spirits living in the deep sea.

As carnivorous elves, they often compete for food ownership.

Whenever neon fish can be seen in a place, then a group of electric lantern monsters will definitely appear nearby. This is a rule.

As for their food.

Generally speaking, they are all starfish or gem starfish.

no way.

Although it has superpower attributes and good combat effectiveness...

However, of these two types of predators, one has the ability to attract water and is invincible within the same family;

The other one has electric attributes and is a natural killer for water elves.

So starfish and gem starfish are no match at all.

That is to say, they cut off their tails and cut off their flesh like geckos at critical moments to survive.

Otherwise, it may really be preyed upon by natural enemies.

Zheye just finished speaking.

A group of electric fish with two light bulbs, one large and one small, appeared in front of the three people.

The blue shape is not easy to see, but the bright light bulb is too conspicuous.

"Your mouth has been opened to the public. This is it."

Asakawa Chinatsu was a little speechless.

"It's just a group of elite-level guys, that's all."

Zheye shrugged, not feeling that this was his problem at all.

Asakawa Chinatsu raised her hand.

The water around him seemed to be alive and began to move towards the school of electric fish not far away.

The speed was so fast that even the school of electric fish that were still observing and sizing up did not react.

Watching the water flow creating a whirlpool, causing the electric fish to quickly lose its ability to fight.

Tetsuya sighed: "In this environment, the water Eevee is really like a bug."

"Of course."

Chinatsu Asakawa looked very proud: "This is my main force!"

"Hmm, let's keep an eye on it so that we don't know how to deal with it when we encounter it."

Zheye subconsciously said what was in his heart.

Asakawa Chinatsu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You kid, why are you still thinking about what will happen next?"

When will we meet? Naturally, it will be during the qualifying competition.

Chinatsu Asakawa, who has water elves and grass elves as the core of her team, is indeed an opponent worthy of Tetsuya's attention.

The unexpected shoal of electric fish did not stop the three of them from advancing.

Very quickly.

The three of them arrived at the next location.

"flutter"

A human head wearing a transparent mask emerged from the water.

Observed the surrounding situation very carefully.

"No trace of Marine Team found, safe."

"Push" "Push"

The heads of two other similarly dressed people also emerged from the water.

"I didn't expect that there are places on the seabed that are not flooded with water at such a deep depth. It's such a wonderful structure."

Chinatsu Asakawa, who lowered her mask, was full of praise for the cave in front of her.

The stalactites hanging above have no rules and have a different kind of beauty.

His voice kept echoing in the cave.

Solans Kaohsiung was a little dissatisfied: "It's better to be careful. It would be terrible if someone from the Marine Corps discovers it."

"Understood, but there are no people around.

I’m really not used to carrying this thing in the water all the time.”

Asakawa Chinatsu knew that Solans Kaohsiung was right, and quickly put on the mask again.

If you make a call through the internal communicator, you don't have to worry about whether the sound will be transmitted very far.

I found an easy place to "go ashore".

The three of them moved quickly and carefully on the land under the sea.

"The formation time here is at least a million years, and it is of great research value."…

Tetsuya's eyes swept across the surrounding rock walls.

Found a lot of interesting things.

"oh?"

Asakawa Chinatsu followed his gaze curiously.

It's a bunch of elven fossils lying outside.

However, from his perspective, he couldn't tell it was an elf at all.

"It's a savage bass."

Zhe also gave the answer.

In this regard, his memory and analytical skills are absolutely unrivaled.

Savage Bass, a rough Pokémon, is mainly found in the waters of the Unova and Kalos regions, and is rarely found in the waters of other regions.

This kind of spirit is quite a strange existence.

It has three different appearances, and the personality and characteristics of each appearance are quite different.

In appearance, the main difference is reflected in the color difference of the lines between the head and pupils, which are divided into three types: red, blue and white.

Secondly, the shape of the fins is different.

The first dorsal fin, second dorsal fin, brachial fin, and pectoral fin of the red-striped barbass are all in the shape of crown spikes;

The first dorsal fin of the Blue Striped Bass is in the shape of a crown and spikes, while the second dorsal fin, brachial fin, and pectoral fin are shaped like a sharp blade;

The first and second dorsal fins of the white-striped squid are in the shape of crown spikes, while its dorsal fin and pectoral fin are shaped like a sharp blade.

Quite a progressive aesthetic.

Of course, it is not difficult to conclude from the classification and name that this is a type of person with a bad personality.

of elves.

In the waters where they live, only lobster soldiers and iron-clawed lobsters, which are paragons of evil spirits, can live together.

Fighting with the fanged fish is their daily routine, and they are also nicknamed "the little gangsters in the water".

but.

This type of elves is not without its advantages.

They were a common ingredient on the table in the past.

The meat of blue-striped bass has a light taste and is easy to eat; the meat of red-striped bass has a high fat content and is suitable for young people to eat; the white-striped bass takes into account the characteristics of both, is easier to breed in groups, and is relatively tame.

Quite a few.

It can only be said that the power of foodies is infinite, and these things can be recorded and passed down.

As for now, just think about it. The Alliance has a complete set of relevant laws and regulations to prevent you from doing such things that destroy the harmony between humans and elves.

"Eh?"

Tetsuya made a confused sound.

"What's wrong?"

The other two people slowed down and looked over.

Solans Kaohsiung couldn't help but remind him: "These fossils are not valuable, we are in a hurry now.

If you’re interested, I’ll just have someone dig up a few pieces for you later.”

"Well, I know, it's just that this fossil looks a little strange."

Tetsuya touched his chin with interest: "It has some characteristics of a savage bass, but it doesn't have the appearance of a known elf."

"It may have been formed by gathering together the remains that were torn apart as food."

Solans Kaohsiung's tone was quite calm: "Savage bass have the habit of competing with similar species, which is normal."

"I guess so."

Zheya did not comment, and could hear that the other party was a little impatient, "Let's go, I will study it when I have time when I come back, and I won't run away."

Wait until the three of them walked some distance and disappeared.

The fossil that originally belonged to Tetsuya had undergone strange changes.

The strange "savage bass" above actually swam out of the fossil alive.

"thump"

The sound of water entering was heard.

This unknown elf submerged into the water.

In the distance, Tetsuya's ears twitched slightly: "There seems to be the sound of water entering, please pay attention."

"Well, this is the corroded deck. It looks like there should be a sunken ship here. It's probably the elves who use it as their home base."

Solansi Kaohsiung also picked up a dark, dirty piece of stuff from a corner, "I hope there's something good in it."

"Don't you have that treasure detector? Take it out and take a look."

Tetsuya has not forgotten the props he saw on the submarine before.

"Wait a minute, let me take a look."

Solansi Kaohsiung took out a radar-looking treasure detector in an obedient manner.

Passed by with a wave of fluctuation.

A dozen red dots appeared on it.

"Does this mean there is a treasure?"

Asakawa Chinatsu was also a little curious.

Solansi Kaohsiung shook his head and said solemnly: "It's also possible that it's an elf."

bq.
