Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

They, and that Kangaskhan, won't have any memories, don't worry~

Sabrina walked to Alakazam's side, put one hand on it, smiled and waved at Tetsuya, a flash of blue light appeared, and she disappeared from the spot.

Watching her disappearing figure, Tetsuya was unsure about Natsumi's personality. The only thing he was certain of was that she harbored no ill will towards him and even had a great deal of goodwill towards him.

At the same time, the people around also came to their senses and stared in astonishment at the child in Tetsuya's arms.

"Ah!" The child's parents exclaimed involuntarily, then quickly regained their composure.

Tetsuya signaled to everyone to evacuate first and return to the protector's residence before discussing anything further.

Everyone nodded and quickly left the scene, leaving only the unconscious Kangaskhan.

At the commander's residence in the protected area.

Tetsuya explained to everyone that it was Natsumi, and everyone then understood and thought it was perfectly reasonable.

Tetsuya felt the gazes directed at him suddenly carrying a hint of awe and fear. Was it really necessary to be so dramatic?

"Thank you so much for your help. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it." The child's parents held their child and handed Zheye a bank card.

"No, no need," Tetsuya quickly waved his hand.

Chapter 161 The Polygon Incident and the Teleportation System

"This is just a small token of our appreciation, a mere fifty million."

Also, this is our business card. Please feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance.

The couple in front of me were very firm in their stance and insisted on giving it to me.

"Wow, a mere fifty million? No wonder he can fly a helicopter here for sightseeing," Tetsuya exclaimed.

Seeing that he really couldn't refuse, he reluctantly accepted the business card and bank card.

"Dashan couple, aerial machinery company, contact information: XXXXXXXX"

The business card had this line written on it.

Tatsuyama—Tetsuya was taken aback when he saw this name.

"Thank you all so much. We'll take our leave now. We're very sorry for the trouble we've caused you."

The Dashan couple took off their hats, held their child, and bowed deeply to everyone at the protection center.

Watching the three figures walk off onto the helicopter, Tetsuya seemed lost in thought.

Officer Jenny dispersed as well, as they still had tasks to complete. With such a large protected area, there was a lot to do every day.

However, incidents like this, where parents accidentally drop their child from a helicopter, are actually quite rare.

"Then, Miss Officer Ace, I'll be taking my leave now."

Tetsuya greeted Junsa Rin.

"Let me give you a ride. This place is in the center of the protected area, quite far from the city." Jun Shalin started the jeep.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Tetsuya hesitated for a moment before agreeing, and also recalled the Blaziken that had been following him.

It took almost ten minutes to drive in here, even at such a high speed. I don't know how long it will take to walk out on my own.

He initially only intended to cross through the edge of the area, never expecting this to happen.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Junsa Lin drove Tetsuya away from the tropical jungle.

"Where are you planning to go next?" Jun Shalin asked Tetsuya as she drove at a leisurely pace.

"I need to go to Macha City. I need to see Dr. Akihabara there."

Tetsuya stood up, peering out from the roof of the jeep at the green fields outside.

“Macha City!” Jun Shalin said with a hint of regret, “It has been largely abandoned since that panic incident.”

Tetsuya nodded slightly, whether from the wind or in agreement with Junsa Lin, it was unclear.

The panic incident, also known as the Porygon incident, originated from the first artificial Pokémon deliberately created in modern times—Porygon.

According to Silph Corporation's report, Porygon was created by the Pokémon Research Institute (i.e., the Cinnabar Research Institute, located on Cinnabar Island). Its main function is to assist humans in conducting certain scientific research using pre-written programs, and it can move freely in cyberspace.

It was borrowed by Dr. Akihabara, the inventor of the teleportation system, to test the stability of the teleportation system and whether there were any loopholes, but problems arose during the testing process.

According to the alliance's statistics, a total of 685 people in the Kanto region were affected during the test because their computers or televisions produced abnormally rapid red and blue flashes, reaching 1/12 of a second (about 0.08 seconds) and the flashes were very intense.

208 people fell into a deep coma and were taken to the Pokémon Center for emergency treatment.

According to the subsequent investigation, this was caused by a mutation of a virus inside some computers during the vulnerability check by Polygonus. In addition, the electricity in Macha City mainly comes from Pikachu's electric shock generation. The collision of these two factors caused an unknown change.

Fortunately, none of the victims experienced any major problems and were successfully treated by Miss Joey.

Meanwhile, the transmission system has also become more stable.

However, Macha City was inevitably avoided by people.

"Alright, I'll leave you here. Just keep walking along this main road and you'll see a police station. Keep going south and you'll see the Pokémon Center in Martha City."

Enjoying the harmonious beauty of the reserve's spirits and nature along the way, Officer Jenny and Tetsuya soon arrived at the boundary of the reserve.

Pointing familiarly into the distance, Miss Officer Jenny enthusiastically gave directions.

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Officer Jenny!" Zhe also got out of the jeep without hesitation. "See you again sometime."

"See you again someday~" Jun Shalin drove her jeep away.

Tetsuya watched the jeep gradually disappear beyond the horizon, stretched, and began to move forward along the main road.

The area around the main road was quiet and deserted, with no sign of human presence, and even the weeds were withered and yellow.

Tetsuya shook his head. People's feelings towards Pokémon are always complicated. Although they love their Pokémon and regard them as their family, they also keep their distance from Pokémon that cause panic.

Because everyone knows that the power of elves is beyond the capacity of ordinary people to withstand.

This is why elves like Absol were not popular in the past. Even though they originally meant well and were warning people, people still called them "disaster beasts" after the actual disasters occurred.

He unconsciously quickened his pace.

After passing a regular police station, Tetsuya soon saw the rather unique Pokémon Center in Macha City.

Unlike typical Pokémon Centers, the roof of this Pokémon Center resembles a circus roof, with a large pink "P" on it, making it even cuter.

Upon entering the Pokémon Center, Tetsuya first ate lunch for himself and a few Pokémon, then went to the front desk to ask questions.

"Hello, Miss Joey, I'd like to ask if Dr. Akihabara's research institute is located here?"

"Yes, it's right behind the Pokémon Center. Once you go out, you'll see a big mansion. If you need to use the teleportation system, remember to contact Professor Akihabara in advance."

Miss Joey at the front desk carefully guided Tetsuya.

After thanking him, Tetsuya walked outside. As for contacting him in advance, someone would make the arrangements.

He took a detour to the back of the Pokémon Center, where he looked at the half-new, half-dilapidated villa and rang the doorbell.

"Ding Ding Ding ~"

After a few rings, the phone by the door was turned on.

"Hello, this is Akihabara Research Institute. May I ask who this is?"

"Hello, this is Tetsuya Tamaki. This is a reservation for the Pewter Dojo. Please open the door."

Tetsuya answered fluently.

"Okay... just a moment... Nibi... Tamaki... Ah! Found you, please come in!"

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be looking for a record, and after hesitating for a while, opened the door.

"Thank you so much."

Tetsuya stepped through the door.

Pushing open the door to the villa, the light bulbs inside flickered unsteadily, and the light was very dim.

He remained expressionless and walked to the deepest part of the room, where a large white door was tightly closed.

Zhe looked around but couldn't find the doorbell, so he had to knock on the door.

"I'm coming!"

All that could be heard was the response from inside.

The door was quickly opened, and Tetsuya walked straight in, then looked in surprise at the holographic projection in front of him.

"Hello, you must be Tetsuya Tamaki," the other person said.

"Yes, it's me." Tetsuya nodded. "Dr. Akihabara, what brings you here?"

The person in the holographic projection was Dr. Akihabara, who was slightly overweight. He was wearing glasses that looked like they had extremely high prescriptions, a green watermelon-shaped haircut, and his white research robe was open, revealing a yellow undershirt underneath.

"I am researching a new human teleportation system and am digitizing myself into cyberspace through Zero."

Dr. Akihabara's words were concise, yet contained a great deal of information.

Tetsuya was speechless for a moment. They really thought humans were elves? And that Zero, that must be Porygon, is it still here?

"You're here to borrow the Pokémon teleportation system, right? It's over there in that corner. It's very easy to use, just like the simplified version of the Pokémon Center."

"I'm even planning to copy this complete version and move it to various Pokémon Centers. With the help of Zero and Generation I, most of the loopholes have been eliminated." Professor Akihabara chuckled as he guided Tetsuya.

"Alright, then I won't trouble you any further, Dr. Akihabara. You can go ahead and get back to work." Tetsuya quickly nodded and went to the teleportation system in the corner.

The enormous machine before us was much larger than the one at the Pokémon Center, and of course, it was also much more fully functional.

I turned on my computer and dialed the number for Nibi Dojo.

"Then, Jiro, I'll have to trouble you for a bit," Tetsuya said with a smile.

"You're too kind, Tetsuya-nii. Let's begin."

Opposite him was still Xiaogang's younger brother, Jiro. According to him, his older brother was still undergoing arduous training.

Tetsuya took out a deluxe ball, placed it in the semi-circular groove of the teleportation machine, and pressed the button with a hint of excitement.

A white light swirled around the luxurious sphere, then abruptly vanished.

The spirits inside were constantly changing forms under the influence of unknown energy, but as the white light dissipated, they also settled into their current forms.

Jiro didn't hesitate and immediately teleported the spirits back inside.

This time, just like a normal teleportation, a few streaks of red light flashed by.

Tetsuya picked up the deluxe ball, chatted with Jiro for a few words, and then hung up the phone impatiently.

Jiro understood Tetsuya's eagerness. Seeing that his role as a tool was complete, he left the computer and went back to worrying about the dojo affairs.

"Let me see too, what kind of spirit it is."

As Tetsuya looked at the miniature Pokémon inside the Luxury Ball from left to right, Professor Akihabara's voice came from behind him again.

"Um, is everything alright here? It's going to be quite big." Tetsuya scratched his head.

"It's fine, we can just tear it down and rebuild it. As long as the power is on, it'll be fine," Dr. Akihabara said, seemingly unconcerned.

Since he had said that, Tetsuya no longer held back and threw out the deluxe ball.

"Come out, you giant rock monster!"

"Dangoro!"

Chapter 162 The Giant Rock Monster and the Pikachu Forest

A deep growl sounded, and a rather large Rock Spirit appeared in the Akihabara Research Institute.

"Wow, it's gotten so big!" Tetsuya chuckled as he touched its hard body.

The Pokémon before us is Gaia Rock, which evolves from Mantle Rock via communication.

Gaia is usually used to refer to the god of the earth. It is not hard to imagine its power that the giant rock monster, which is only rock-type, can be given this name.

Compared to its previous clear and childlike cries, Pang Yan's voice was now deeper and more resonant, sounding more like that of a middle-aged man.

For elves, evolution is also a form of maturation.

It consists of one huge and four dark blue boulders. Its main body is roughly cone-shaped, with an orange crystal stone in the center of its chest and back.

The gray strip-shaped connectors link its body to its triangular-shaped legs.
