Pokémon: Trainers start as bounty hunters

"Concession."

At the players' tunnel, Tetsuya and Natsuko Hatayama simply said hello and walked in different directions.

"Awesome."

In the audience seat, three friends took turns giving Tetsuya a hard blow on the body to express congratulations.

Tetsuya's face immediately turned a little rosy.

He had every reason to believe that these guys were taking the opportunity to retaliate against him.

But Zheya, who was in a good mood, didn't bother to pay attention to them. Who said they couldn't enjoy the thrill of victory.

"Hey, just average~"

Tetsuya's flattering tone naturally earned the three of them a blank stare.

"Ye Zang, you have to watch carefully, the next one will be your opponent in the next round."

Zheye looked at the nervous Ye Zang teasingly.

"Just shut your mouth." Ye Zang rolled his eyes and said rudely.

Zheye shrugged with a smile and looked at each other with the other two people. Unexpectedly, Ye Zang, who talked the most, would also have a day when he was told not to talk.

However, he was also very sensible and did not say anything more, otherwise the relaxing effect would not be effective but would destroy Ye Zang's mentality, which would not work well.

But the next moment, Ye Zang's words made Zheye change his mind.

"Besides, I advise you to take a closer look. Maybe he will be your opponent if you advance from 16 to 8."

Ye Zang gave Zheye a "blessing" expressionlessly.

Tetsuya returned the gesture of friendly greeting as thanks.

While a few people were talking and laughing, below, the second battle of the day had already begun.

The originally noisy spectator seats quickly became quiet, and even when they spoke, they were in soft tones. If you listen carefully, you could hear that they were analyzing the spirits of the players on the field.

Everything was going on as usual, and everyone's eyes were focused on the Quartz Conference.

Dark organizations such as Team Rocket or other poacher teams also fell silent during this period without any action.

Time soon came to the morning of the drawing of lots for the 16th to 8th round.

"Your mouth must be a curse. Tell me honestly, are you pretending to be a ghost?"

Zheye, who looked unhappy, walked out of the service hall and gave Ye Zang a slap in the face.

Ye Zang's face was confused, he obviously didn't do anything.

Luping reacted faster: "You won't really meet Shinagawa Shizuji, will you?"

There was a hint of disbelief in his tone, plus a hint of speechlessness.

Zheye nodded fiercely with a dark face.

"I feel like one of the four of us has an eyebrow pencil, but I won't say who it is."

Yamashiro-kun also said quietly from the side.

"pu...cough"

Ye Zang made a strange sound.

"Don't hold it back, just laugh if you want." Zheye advised him with "kindness".

"I'm not laughing. It's normal. It's a matter of probability." Ye Zang put on a very serious face.

Zheye sneered in return.

"I didn't expect that we fell into the hands of a person. Do you think this is the so-called fate?" Mr. Yamashiro also said in a rather funny tone.

As for Tetsuya defeating Shinagawa Shizuji? This idea is a bit too crazy and unrealistic.

The main reason is that the elf composition of Tetsuya's main team is really not advantageous against the opponent's water-type ace elf, and is even clearly restrained.

We can't expect the Monarch Snake, who has just broken through to become a quasi-king, and the elite Electric Dragon, to defeat the Water Arrow Turtle, who is suspected of being a king.

"Unfortunately~" Zheye looked up to the sky and sighed.

The most important thing is that this is his first game in eight games, and he doesn't even have enough time to prepare.

"Come on." Lu Ping encouraged him with good intentions.

"Okay, I'll go first."

Zheye turned around and headed towards the entrance of the arena. Looking at his back, he looked quite sad.

As his figure disappeared from sight, the other three people also stared at the sky speechlessly and fell into silence.

For this group of young people attending the conference for the first time, being eliminated will still make them feel sad.

Originally, having my friends continue to fight would alleviate the sadness to some extent, but I didn't expect that all four of them would be eliminated so soon.

However, they were not without gains.

"Hello, are you the Oniha Yezo player? I am the host of the alliance TV program. Before the 16th to 8th competition is about to start, I wonder if I can spare you a few minutes for an interview."

A beautiful lady approached Ye Zang with a microphone in her hand, followed by several camera crews.

Ye Zang immediately tidied up his appearance and answered the questions energetically.

Luping and Jun on the side are also not idle. As the top sixty-four, although their attention is lower than that of Ye Zang, they are still the star trainers who are attracting attention at this stage.

What's more, judging from their age and resume, anyone with a discerning eye can see that they are future stars.

None of them resist being famous.

Although trainers pay more attention to strength, the benefits of increasing reputation are also obvious. If nothing else, the economic benefits are enough to explain everything.

It is true that the three of them are members of a large family, but this does not mean that they can overdraw the family's resources. Their efforts and gains are proportional to each other everywhere.

Once they officially debut and achieve results at the conference, they will have to deal with a lot of subsequent expenses themselves. The family can only provide them with certain help at a certain moment, and resources are still limited after all.

Even if his talent is as strong as Du's, the support he gets from his family is not endless. The prosperity of his family never depends on one person.

In other words, even if Du disappears now, the Yulong clan represented by Yanmo Gym will not be lonely because of this. It still has the support of many powerful trainers. At most, it just means that its reputation is not that great on the surface.

While the three of them were taking responsibility for their futures and working hard, Tetsuya, who was in the player lounge, was giving final instructions to his elves.

"...

In short, the crow leader on the opposite side is good at launching surprise attacks in the blind area of ​​the opponent's field of vision. If you don't find it in your field of vision at the first time, then immediately use acrobatics or tornadoes to avoid and block the possible attacks."

He made a summary to his last partner, Bi Diao.

"Beep~"

Bi Diao screamed excitedly.

From Tetsuya's attitude, he can clearly feel the difference between this battle and the previous games.

Although he is usually lazy, Bi Diao is still full of interest and desire to fight against powerful enemies.

Tetsuya looked around.

The flame chicken with raging flames gushing out from its wrist, the rock monster with the crystals on its body constantly turning, the monarch snake with its tail sweeping across the ground crazily, Togekis who narrowed his eyes with a smile, and the pink electric dragon with flashing arcs in his eyes.

The other five elves are as full of fighting spirit as their big brother.

The curvature of the corners of Zheye's mouth became wider and wider.

"Then, come on guys without any regrets."

The door to the lounge slowly opened and closed, with light and shadow intertwining.
