Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

It's not surprising, considering he didn't have any other champion-caliber Pokémon to provide him with specific data; he could only extrapolate from data of other Pokémon with lower potential, which was bound to cause problems.

For example, according to his and Zero's deduction, Torchic's goal today should be to complete the medium-difficulty wooden stake array plus the interference of two launchers within twelve minutes.

Torchic was initially flustered, but as training progressed, its reactions became faster and faster.

Not only can it pass quickly through a medium-difficulty wooden stake formation, but it can also complete a training session in just ten minutes despite interference from three transmitters.

Other projects also saw progress improvements of 10% to 20%, prompting Tetsuya to marvel at how impressive Torchic was.

What's most amazing is that this little guy never complained once, which extinguished Tetsuya's idea of ​​lecturing his Pokémon.

However, Tetsuya was also very happy about this.

After all, the fact that Torchic is willing to undergo such arduous training means that it has a strong desire to become stronger.

There's nothing wrong with that.

After cleaning up the messy dining table, Tetsuya went upstairs and began his daily studies.

Torchic and Pidgeot obediently returned to their Poké Balls to rest, preparing for tomorrow's arduous training.

.....................

Two months later.

In the back garden of a villa on the outskirts of Tokiwa City.

The wooden stake formation is nearing its end.

"just!"

With a twist of its left foot, the strong chicken tilted its body slightly to dodge the three bouncy balls that were shot at it.

Before he could catch his breath, he immediately bent down to avoid being hit by the two bouncy balls that were positioned one in front of the other.

He stretched out both arms forward and slapped the ground hard, then did a tilting forward roll to avoid the wooden stake in front of him.

That wasn't the end of it. Just as he got up and sped up, Tetsuya's voice rang out.

"At the 10 o'clock position on the upper right, fire a jet of flame, then follow up with Swallow Return and Split Tile to split the rock in front."

The Mighty Chicken immediately spewed a pillar of fire in the direction of the command.

The special stone that Tetsuya threw into the air was accurately burned to ashes by the 1800-degree Celsius flames spewed out by Riki-Girl.

The Brontosaurus cut off its energy output the instant it unleashed its flames, switching to U-turn instead.

After pressing his body close to the ground and approaching the rock, he slashed downwards with his right hand, which was glowing with a dazzling white light—it was the Tile Splitting skill.

"Crack! Crack!" With a crisp sound, the rock was sliced ​​open.

At that very moment, five more bouncy balls came from different directions at intervals, shooting at the limbs and torso of the strong chicken.

The Mighty Chicken reacted exceptionally quickly, leaping up and using one hand to grab and the other to use its Flame Punch to deflect and knock away the two bouncy balls above.

He nimbly dodged the bouncy ball that was originally aimed at his torso with an aerial spin.

At this moment, the two bouncy balls at the bottom were almost within reach. The strong chicken straightened its waist and abdomen and kicked the two bouncy balls away with a double kick.

"A flash of lightning."

Tetsuya's voice is never late.

As soon as the strong chicken landed, it bent its legs and used its lightning bolt to hit another wooden stake in front of it.

The strong chicken remained calm, controlling its body at high speed as it narrowly missed the wooden stake.

"Okay, done." Tetsuya looked at the timer and stopped the training.

As the strong chicken calmed its breathing, it slowly walked to Tetsuya's side.

"Very good. Now you can complete the high-difficulty interference with 10 transmitters in 3 minutes. This stage of the goal is over."

"Yes." Mighty Chicken nodded steadily, indicating that he was about to begin the next training exercise.

Tetsuya put the weighted suit on Riki-Girl, set the data, and Riki-Girl went to the side to start kicking training.

Engage your core muscles to propel your entire body forward, alternating kicks with both feet, maintaining a training pace of six kicks per second.

Tetsuya looked at the strong chicken training hard and smiled with satisfaction.

The training over the past two months has enabled the Torchic to successfully evolve into a Mighty Chicken.

Not only have their abilities improved significantly, but they have also become more composed in character.

Thinking of this, Tetsuya silently said, "Zero, after the analysis, open the Power Chicken's panel."

Soon, a blue panel that only Zhe could see appeared in his field of vision.

[Strong Chicken]

Category: Baby Chicken Pokémon

Attribute: Fire/Fighting

Height: 1.3m (average is 0.9m)

Weight: 26kg (average weight 19.5kg)

Special ability: Blaze (When HP is low and in a critical situation, the power of Fire-type moves is increased)

Hidden Ability: Speed ​​Boost (The speed of a Pokémon with this ability will increase as the battle progresses, until it reaches its limit).

Skills: Claw, Peck, Cry, Double Up (inherited), Burnout (inherited), High Speed ​​(inherited), Spark, Quick Attack, Double Kick, Flame Jet, Charged Flame Strike, See Through, Flame Punch, Brick Break, Low Kick, Flame Spread, Heat Wave, Feather Dance, Swallow Return.

Level: 26 (Normal)

Potential: Champion

Training method: It is recommended to train the leg muscles of this Pokémon. Its development level will be 1.56 times that of other Pokémon of the same species, resulting in extremely high explosive power and destructive force. (The plan and recipe are as follows:........)

It is recommended to feed this Pokémon a mixture of Spicy Cherry Berry and Chocolate Berry to enhance its Fire-type energy intensity, currently at a ratio of 1:1.

This Pokémon's reaction rate is 2.12 times that of other Pokémon of the same species, so targeted training is recommended. (The training plan and recipe are as follows:........)

Tetsuya looked at the panel. Although he had been paying attention to it every day, the powerful panel still made the corners of his mouth involuntarily turn up.

The level 26 Mighty Chicken, judging from its skill panel alone, is already comparable to, and arguably even surpasses, the skill panel of a level 38 Pidgeot that has just evolved.

Aside from the three inherited skills, it has mastered both fire-type and fighting-type skills extremely comprehensively.

Not to mention that during this period of training, the turkey's talents have been further developed.

Chapter 20: Revision Plan and Preparations Before Departure

The leg muscles of the Lizhuang chicken have increased from 1.44 times to 1.56 times the development level of its peers.

Its reaction speed has been accurately measured to be 2.12 times that of similar species, and the intensity of its fire-type energy is comparable to some elite-level Pokémon, although the quantity is slightly insufficient.

Tetsuya could confidently say that although his Masculine was only level 26, it could easily defeat some elite-level Pokémon that were around level 30.

After all, a normal elite-level Pokémon wouldn't have so many skills, and in terms of overall versatility, Roborock is the clear winner.

Zhe also understood that the level given by Zero could only be used as a reference.

In actual combat, in addition to considering physical fitness and the quality and quantity of energy, one must also consider the mastery and use of skills, as well as the trainer's strategic planning and command.

Otherwise, Pokémon battles wouldn't be so appealing, and trainers wouldn't have become the mainstream in this world.

The level on the Zero panel only provides a quantitative data. Tetsuya felt that when the Eagle was this strong, the panel was probably already in the early 30s.

This allowed Tetsuya to roughly understand the basis for the zero-level classification through his own analysis.

In the Pokémon world, the League classifies Pokémon's strength solely based on the amount of energy they possess.

Zero made quantitative adjustments based on this principle: the level and rank of a spirit are only related to the amount of energy it possesses, and have nothing to do with its physical attributes or the quality of its energy.

Potential determines the upper limit of a Pokémon's energy, and also makes Pokémon with higher potential stronger than those with lower potential at the same level.

This is reflected not only in energy and physical strength, but also in skill mastery.

However, Zero's abilities are sufficient; the level display helps Tetsuya effectively observe the progress and status of his Pokémon.

For other trainers, understanding the role and effect of training is not as simple as it seems.

Not to mention, there's an even more useful tool for identifying the potential of Pokémon and Pokémon eggs, which is the key.

But these are not the main concerns or headaches for Tetsuya right now.

Tetsuya is actually quite helpless right now, but it's also accompanied by joy.

The main reason is that Mighty Chicken has improved too quickly.

In just two months, the Mighty Chicken has leveled up from level 6 to level 26 and is about to break through to elite level. Moreover, its strength is already comparable to that of other chickens.

At the same time, Pidgeot also leveled up to level 43 and mastered several new skills.

The price to pay was a huge expense. Tetsuya only had 20 Alliance Coins left in cash, and he was only able to save some money thanks to the fact that his progress was not as fast as that of the eagle.

This was something that Tetsuya found hard to accept and was completely overwhelmed.

At first, Tetsuya thought it would take at least five months for Riki to reach its current strength, but its talent was too high, and Riki worked hard enough, so Tetsuya invested without regard to cost.

This time has been reduced by more than half.

Tetsuya's plan will have to be changed again.

It can only be said that man proposes, God disposes; fortunately, the reason for changing the plan this time was good.

Countless trainers probably wish they could invest in their Pokémon to become stronger, but unfortunately, they don't have any high-potential Pokémon to their name.

This might be what they call a pleasant kind of trouble.

Tetsuya was making changes on the computer, thinking to himself.

If any other trainer knew Tetsuya's way of thinking, they would probably want to kill him.

............

evening.

In the restaurant at the Pokémon Center.

Tetsuya was having dinner with Riki-chicken and Pidgeot.

He was surrounded by trainers like himself and their Pokémon.

Of course, this only applies to the normal-sized kind; Onix and the like are not included, otherwise Miss Joy would give you a very harsh scolding.

Tetsuya has come here to prepare for his real journey.

Because Riki-Chicken's strength has improved faster than originally planned and his savings have run out, Tetsuya is preparing to leave Tokiwa City ahead of schedule.

After all, although it is located near Viridian Forest, Viridian City is still too remote compared to Saffron City and Celadon City.

Most of the long-term residents of Viridian City come here for health and wellness purposes, so there are relatively few high-level, high-reward missions offered.

Apart from that, it's mostly bounty hunters and trainers who have accepted missions who come here to engage in activities and adventures.

Most high-level bounty posters still choose to post their bounty quests at bounty hunter centers in major cities like Goldenrod City and Rainbow City, which quickly become snapped up.

The high-level quests never even reached Viridian City because no one in the issuing location accepted them.

Tetsuya believed that he was now skilled enough to handle most B-rank missions, so it was time for him to leave.

Furthermore, Zero's abilities can be used to make some money during the trip, albeit cautiously.

The plan is in place.

Tetsuya first tidied up the villa, then went to the shops and trading center to clear out his excess items and materials.

Part of it came from the occasional adventures in Viridian Forest over the past two months, and part of it came from some low-level materials that I hadn't used up because my Mighty Chicken had improved so quickly. In the end, I managed to recoup 15 Alliance Coins.

With the help of the Fairy Center, Tetsuya sold his suburban villa for 90 yen, and the handover will be completed tomorrow.

From an investment perspective, Tetsuya actually made a considerable profit from this move.

Tetsuya's spatial backpack was thrown into the room at the Pokémon Center he had booked, where the 50-cubic-meter space was almost half-filled with training equipment.

Fortunately, Tetsuya estimated that once Merach evolves into Blaziken, this equipment could be temporarily stored away and wouldn't be needed for a while.

Besides that, there are various survival items, clothes, food for the elves, and other miscellaneous items.

It also includes Tetsuya's mode of transportation, which cost 50 yen. It's a basic model of a solar-powered electric car produced by Devon, but its advanced technology is sufficient to handle most situations in the wild.

It can be said that the 50 cubic meter space was crammed full.
