Pokemon: Bounty Hunter

The muscle development in Blaziken's legs had improved from 1.44 times that of its species to 1.56 times.

Its reaction speed had also been accurately measured to be 2.12 times that of the same species, and its Fire-type energy intensity was comparable to that of some Advance-level Pokémon, though it lacked a bit in quantity.

Silas could confidently say that his Combusken, despite being only at level 26, could easily defeat some Advance-level Pokémon around level 30.

After all, normal Advance-level Pokémon wouldn't have such a wide range of skills, making Combusken vastly superior in overall versatility.

Silas understood that the level provided by Zero was only a reference.

In real battles, aside from considering physical strength and the quality and quantity of energy, one must also account for skill mastery, usage, and the trainer's strategy and commands.

Otherwise, Pokémon battles wouldn't be so captivating, and trainers wouldn't be the mainstream force in this world.

The level displayed on Zero's interface was merely a quantified piece of data. From his own analysis, Silas estimated that Pidgeot's level must have reached the early 30s when it had displayed such strength.

This helped him understand the criteria used by Zero for its level classifications.

In the Pokémon world, the Pokémon League classifies Pokémon strength based solely on the amount of energy within their bodies.

Zero's system followed the same principle in its calculations: a Pokémon's level and rank were determined purely by its energy quantity, independent of physical fitness and energy quality.

A Pokémon's potential determined not only its energy cap but also gave high-quality Pokémon an advantage over lower-quality ones at the same level.

This advantage wasn't just limited to energy and physical strength but also extended to skill proficiency.

Even so, Zero's abilities were already more than sufficient. The level display helped Silas effectively track his Pokémon's progress and status.

Other trainers didn't have such an easy way to assess the impact of their training.

Not to mention, Zero's ability to identify the potential of Pokémon and Pokémon eggs was invaluable. That was the true key.

However, these weren't the things Silas was concerned with right now.

At this moment, he felt a mix of helplessness and joy.

The main reason was that Combusken's progress was simply too fast.

In just two months, it had grown from level 6 to level 26 and was on the verge of breaking into the Advance Level, already rivaling many Pokémon at that level.

At the same time, Pidgeot had reached level 43 and mastered several new moves.

But the cost of this rapid progress was enormous—Silas now had only 200,000 Pokédollars left in cash. Fortunately, Pidgeot's slower growth rate had saved him some money.

This was something Silas found both overwhelming and difficult to accept.

Initially, he had estimated that Combusken would take at least five months to reach its current level. However, due to its exceptional potential, its own hard work, and Silas's relentless investment, the timeline had been cut by more than half.

This meant that Silas needed to revise his plans again.

It was a classic case of plans not keeping up with reality—but at least this time, it was for a good reason.

Many trainers would have been desperate to have such rapid growth for their Pokémon, but they simply didn't have high-potential Pokémon to work with.

This was what one might call a "happy problem."

Silas sighed as he scribbled notes on his computer, adjusting his plans accordingly.

If other trainers knew what he was thinking, they'd probably want to beat him up.

Evening

Inside the Pokémon Center's cafeteria.

Silas was having dinner with Combusken and Pidgeot.

All around them were other trainers and their Pokémon.

Of course, only those with reasonable sizes were allowed—Onix and similar giant Pokémon weren't welcome, or Nurse Joy would scold their trainers mercilessly.

Silas was preparing to set off on his journey.

Since Combusken's progress had been so rapid and his savings were depleting just as quickly, he had decided to leave Viridian City earlier than planned.

Despite being near Viridian Forest, Viridian City was still too remote compared to cities like Saffron City and Celadon City.

Most of the long-term residents in Viridian City were retirees looking for a peaceful life, so there weren't many high-level, high-reward tasks available.

The ones that were available were usually taken by bounty hunters and trainers who came here for adventure.

Most high-level bounty missions were posted in major cities like Saffron and Celadon, where they would quickly be accepted before ever reaching Viridian City.

Silas believed he was now strong enough to handle most B-rank missions, so it was time to move on.

Moreover, during his journey, he could carefully use Zero's abilities to make some money.

Silas spent some time organizing his villa, then went to the local shop and trade center to sell off excess items and materials.

Some of these were things he had gathered during his occasional expeditions into Viridian Forest over the past two months, while others were low-level materials that Combusken had outgrown too quickly to use.

All in all, he managed to recover 150,000 Pokédollars.

Through the Pokémon Center's services, Silas also sold his countryside villa for 900,000 Pokédollars, with the transaction set to be finalized the next day.

From an investment standpoint, he had made a solid profit.

His storage backpack was already in his reserved room at the Pokémon Center. The 50-cubic-meter space was half-filled with training equipment.

Luckily, once Combusken evolved into Blaziken, most of this equipment would be put into storage since it wouldn't be needed for a while.

The rest of the backpack contained survival gear, clothes, Pokémon food, and other essentials.

Among them was the solar-powered electric bike he had bought from Devon Corporation for 500,000 Pokédollars—a basic model, but packed with advanced technology to handle most outdoor situations.

The 50-cubic-meter space was packed to the brim.

After finishing dinner, Silas recalled his Pokémon into their Poké Balls and walked to the Pokémon Center's service counter.

In this world, every city functioned as an independent entity. A person's residency was generally linked to the Pokémon Center of the city they were born in or had lived in for a long time.

Each city was jointly managed by its Gym Leader and a mayor elected by its citizens.

The Pokémon League could only provide oversight and suggestions, but it couldn't force a city to take specific actions.

Of course, if a city faced a major crisis, the League would issue an emergency notice and intervene—using various methods.

For trainers who wanted to travel, they had to apply for and register a travel permit at the Pokémon Center of their registered city, which would then be recorded in the League's system.

However, this rule only applied to non-official trainers, meaning those who didn't have a Pokédex.

Official trainers who possessed a Pokédex didn't need to go through this process.

Arriving at the service desk, Silas greeted Nurse Joy.

"Hello, Nurse Joy. I'd like to apply for a travel permit, please."
