Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

After all, his Togepi has the hidden ability "Super Lucky". He was very confident that if the Mysterious Garden was based on luck, then apart from Ash and his friends, he, with his Togepi, would definitely be one of the lucky ones out of ten thousand.

Yes, Zhe was also certain that it was the Mysterious Garden.

Because Ash's Bulbasaur did indeed enter the Mysterious Garden in the future, and there was even a Bulbasaur festival there.

As for why no one has ever seen a Bulbasaur festival here, Tetsuya guesses it's probably because the Mysterious Garden is divided into an outer and an inner area.

The external interface applies to all Grass-type Pokémon, while the internal interface is only available to Bulbasaur.

However, the only problem is that many trainers and Pokémon who have been there before include Bulbasaur, and this is, after all, the Kanto region.

However, they have never seen the real Garden of Wonders like Ash.

All I can say is that this idiot is indeed an idiot; he's different from ordinary people.

"Today is the first day the sun halo flower blooms. According to past rumors, it should still be a little short of time," Tetsuya muttered to himself. In the past, the lucky ones usually entered on the third day.

Sensing the increasingly lively atmosphere and the dense chatter around him, Tetsuya frowned and led Togepi back to his room.

He doesn't mind a lively atmosphere, but this overly noisy environment made him slightly uncomfortable.

Back in the room, Togepi in his arms let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

"Alright everyone, let's get some rest." He released his companions.

The three veterans, as usual, found a place to rest; while Togepi and Snivy, the two energetic little guys, began to chase, fight, and play in this little world.

"Therefore, based on the different principles behind the characteristics, we can simply categorize them into crisis-type characteristics (activated when conditions are met, such as when stamina is depleted to about one-third), weather-type characteristics (affecting or being affected by the weather), and appearance-type characteristics (such as the Iron Spikes characteristic, which is based on the Pokémon's appearance)..."

Tetsuya lay on the bed, the computer in front of him playing a lecture, and the sounds of the two little ones playing around unconsciously quieted down.

.........

The next day, Tetsuya, with Togepi in his arms and Snivy on his shoulder, set off into the forest once again.

Not only him, but along the way you can see many trainers like him, with Grass-type Pokémon.

However, once they entered the dense forest, the group dispersed and gradually disappeared. Even Tetsuya, with his extremely strong senses, quickly lost track of them.

Fortunately, he often doesn't rely on his own perception abilities.

"Pang Yan Monster, please help me~"

He casually tossed out the deluxe ball containing the giant rock monster, and it immediately appeared in front of Tetsuya.

The one person and three pets began to walk through the forest.

After searching for several hours, even though Tetsuya was well-prepared, he couldn't help but feel frustrated.

I was tired anyway, so I found an open space, took out all my tools and materials, and started preparing lunch for the little ones.

"Pidgeotto, Blaziken, you guys should come out and stretch your legs too."

Two more flashes of white light appeared, and two elves appeared on the grass.

Soon after, having cleaned up the mess, Tetsuya sat on the ground, holding a sandwich in one hand and supporting himself with the other. He was getting tired of the monotonous scenery in the forest.

It's no exaggeration to say that if he were in a room, he would have dug at least three feet into the ground.

"Chocolate~" "Candy!"

A few meters away, Snivy and Togepi were interacting with each other using their tiny arms.

This is what Tetsuya taught them to pass the time—yes, it's that little game of pushing hands together face to face.

"Hahaha."

Tetsuya watched as Togepi made mistakes from time to time, getting pushed to the ground and rolling around a few times by Snivy, and his silly appearance made him laugh out loud.

"Cha-cha-yi~!"

Togepi pouted and looked at its heartless trainer.

Even though I lost, you're still laughing at me.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have laughed at you," Tetsuya said affectionately, while also raising one of his index fingers.

This means an ice cream cone. Pokerby has a real fondness for ice cream, and often, as long as he has it, any problem can be easily solved.

With a serious expression, Pokopf drew two circles in the air with his hand.

Tetsuya naturally knew what it meant. "No problem, two balls, one vanilla and one chocolate."

Pokerby nodded in satisfaction.

"So, as a reward for the winner, Snivy, how about a cream cake when we get home today?"

Tetsuya turned his gaze to the Snivy beside him, knowing that as a trainer, he couldn't show favoritism.

"Candy!"

Snivy's eyes immediately lit up, and it nodded firmly.

The two little ones happily started playing again.

This can be considered a reward for their recent hard training. Even when they are given as snacks, Tetsuya strictly controls their consumption.

After all, neither the chubby Serperior nor the fat Togekiss was the result he wanted to see.

"Ugh, so sleepy." Lying flat on the grass, feeling the sunlight filtering through the leaves onto his body, Tetsuya drifted off to sleep.

He didn't necessarily have to enter the Garden of Wonders, but since he happened to be passing by at this time, it would be a pity not to give it a try.

He was quite interested in this legendary place.

However, if I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is my fate. So I will let everything take its course.

The wind rustled through the leaves.

The Pidgey was perched on a thick branch of a tall tree nearby, listlessly observing its surroundings.

Blaziken and Grimstone sat on either side of Tetsuya, watching the two energetic little guys unleash their vitality.

Gradually, the two little guys drifted further and further away from their own team.

However, it was clear that the three seniors didn't take this matter seriously at all.

After all, they had already thoroughly monitored and cleared the surrounding area before they started eating, so no new Pokémon would appear nearby in the short term.

Moreover, Snivy is not a defenseless juvenile Pokémon. In this area where the level is not high, let alone easily defeating wild Pokémon, even if an accident really happens, Pidgeot and Blaziken can quickly reach its side.

Blaziken stopped its Aura and looked at the Gigalith beside it. Moreover, this partner that it had watched grow up was exceptionally reliable.

"Xia Mo".

"I'll leave you to watch for a while, I need to rest," Blaziken said to it.

Pang Yan nodded silently to indicate that he understood.

Blaziken confidently approached the tree where Pidgeot was, and stretched against the trunk.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

Apart from the occasional sound of elves and the faint laughter of two little creatures through the grass, the forest was utterly silent.

The sun slowly slid down from directly overhead, but the heat did not decrease at all; in fact, it became even more intense.

"Chocolate!"

Suddenly, Togepi came running back from the bushes on its short legs, but Snivy was nowhere to be seen.

"Boom!"

Its tiny body plunged directly into Tetsuya's belly.

"Cough cough, be gentle, what's wrong?"

Tetsuya instantly snapped out of it and, seeing that only the little guy had returned, instinctively asked him a question.

Seeing that Pang Yan didn't give any warning, it's probably not a big problem.

"Chocolate!"

Togepi tugged at Tetsuya's sleeve, gesturing for him to stand up and come with him. As for Snivy, it was fine; it had simply stayed behind to watch over the place Togepi wanted to take Tetsuya to.

"Here he comes, little guy!"

Tetsuya had no choice but to get up. Behind him, Pidgeot had already slid down from the tree, and Blaziken had also stood up with its tall body.

He picked up the ecstatic Togepi and said, "Don't rush, you show me the way first."

The three pets followed behind, quite strangely. In their perception, there was nothing wrong nearby, and the Snivy was standing still without moving.

After meandering through the woods for some distance, Tetsuya finally spotted the Snivy.

At the same time, the peculiar "wall" in front of it also came into his view.

Tetsuya narrowed his eyes. This was... vines?

Upon closer inspection and gentle touch, it was clear that although its color and appearance resembled a rock wall, it was undoubtedly a vine, albeit with a rather peculiar color and shape.

And... Tetsuya led his Pokémon around the area, where a special wall made of vines enclosed a large area.

Including the sky above, as seen through Pidgeot's perspective, it indicates that there is also a wall of vines above.

It's as if this place has been covered by an inverted, giant vine bowl.

"Dangoro!" "Scared!"

At this moment, the giant rock monster and the Blaziken started shouting one after the other.

Tetsuya's lips curled into a slight smile. "Oh? You can't sense the wall in front of you, and the trainers who were scattered around have suddenly disappeared?"

The two elves nodded in unison.

Tetsuya was delighted; this definitely looked like the Garden of Mysteries.

"Mua~, well done~"

He kissed Togepi in his arms.

No wonder she's a lucky star; it's not for nothing.

Whether it's dangerous or not is another matter, but we can't miss this opportunity.

First, we need to break through this vine wall.

"Blazing Chicken, Flame Kick!" Tetsuya gave the command.

To deal with grass, you naturally need fire.

"just!"

Blaziken didn't hesitate. It used its waist and abdomen to power its lower body, and flames instantly covered its legs. It then kicked the vine wall hard with one foot.

"Boom!"

Unexpectedly, the collision between the two sounded like the clash of steel.

Blaziken jumped back and shook its head at Tetsuya.

“Why not brute force it?” He pondered for a moment. “Try Snivy, see if you can manipulate it with the vine whip.”

"Sugar candy."

The vine snake shook its head; it had already tried, but couldn't open it.

This was a bit tricky. Tetsuya rubbed his hands together, realizing he had no experience to offer a solution.

"When you two arrived here, it was already like this. Did it just suddenly appear?"

Looking up at the sun in the sky, Tetsuya asked the two little ones thoughtfully.

Snivy and Togepi nodded in unison. Yes, they appeared suddenly.

No, that doesn't match up. Tetsuya crossed his arms and pondered.

Chapter 174 Waiting and Entering

Tetsuya quickly realized that, whether in the anime of his previous life or in the legend of this life, the Mysterious Garden always appeared at night.

Ash's Bulbasaur ran away in the middle of the night, and the appearance of the Mysterious Garden is said to be related to the stars and the moon.

However, because the blooming of the halo flower was a more convenient reference, even he subconsciously assumed that the Mysterious Garden had been appearing all along during this period.

Furthermore, don't normal Grass-type Pokémon need sunlight to evolve and become stronger? So in his mind, the Mysterious Garden should begin when the sunlight is at its strongest.
