After resting for a while and feeling ready, Tetsuya returned Combusken and went to turn in the three missions along the way.
After all, he still had Pokemon training in the afternoon and couldn't afford to relax even a little.
The total bounty for the missions was 220,000.
Not bad. Adding the 4.8 million contributed by that Pichu, he earned a total of 5 million today.
Is it really a matter of strength? Tetsuya thought to himself on the way to Viridian Forest for training.
Putting aside the unexpected bonus of the Pichu, based on today's efficiency and earnings, if he planned properly, he could earn nearly 700,000 in a full day of regular missions. That was equivalent to his income from the past month.
So, in the afternoon, while Pidgeot and Combusken were working hard to complete their training goals in Viridian Forest, Tetsuya was on the side planning his schedule for the next four or five days.
First, 4 hours of targeted training in the morning, from six to ten. Then, return to the Pokemon Center to eat and rest, accept missions, and set off around eleven.
He estimated returning from Mt. Moon or Viridian Forest around two in the afternoon for a break, then doing another round of missions.
The second return should be around five in the evening. After dinner, he would start regular training at the Pokemon Center's training grounds.
Around ten in the evening, he would return to his room to read the materials provided by the Pewter Gym for a while before resting.
Tetsuya revised his plan for a while and found that this was probably the limit.
"However, if I choose to travel back and forth using Pidgeot, I should be able to save about half an hour over two rounds."
Rubbing his chin, he was a little tempted.
The extra half hour could prevent missions from taking too long and disrupting his plan, or he could train more or rest a little longer himself.
It seemed like a good option as well.
Tetsuya felt that for the benefits brought by this precious half hour, slightly controlling his fear wasn't a problem.
He would have to fly around sooner or later anyway, and experiencing it now was better than later.
So, starting from the next day, Tetsuya began using Pidgeot as a utility Pokemon and started a four-point, one-line money-making life: Viridian Forest, Mt. Moon, Pokemon Center, Bounty Hunter Center.
Oh, no, there was also a Black Market acquisition point.
After all, even Elite Level Pokemon, even if they didn't have any special strengths, could be sold for a price.
Although not many wild Pokemon reached the Elite Level, he encountered quite a few over five days and sold them all at the acquisition point.
Five days later, Tetsuya, who had agreed to meet Brock in the afternoon, unusually took a day off for himself and his Pokemon.
Lying on the sofa in his room, he calculated his gains over the past few days.
Excluding the first day, he completed a total of 12 C-rank Missions in the following four days, earning 780,000, plus 4 B-rank Missions, earning 1 million.
Adding the four Elite Level Pokemon he caught, he sold them for a total of 4.2 million.
So, he earned a total of 11 million in five days?
Even though he had spent nearly 1 million in the past few days, he still had a net income of 10 million.
Tetsuya was a little stunned. Had he earned nearly a quarter of the price of a Fire Stone by himself?
Thinking about it, it didn't seem abnormal.
This income was determined by many factors, and a Normal Trainer couldn't achieve it.
Firstly, the High-Level Treatment at the Pokemon Center saved Tetsuya a lot of queuing time, waiting time for treatment, and treatment costs, etc.
Without this treatment, his efficiency would be much lower, and his expenses would increase.
At the same time, his mission authority as a Bounty Hunter was also raised by one level. Otherwise, while B-rank Missions might not be affected, he couldn't accept three C-rank Missions simultaneously before reaching B-rank Bounty Hunter.
His efficiency would drop by more than half again, as there weren't that many B-rank Missions available to just accept whenever he wanted.
Secondly, what seemed like a lot of income was actually nearly half from the Pichu, and luck couldn't be considered a regular occurrence.
Thirdly, and most importantly, Tetsuya had Zero, which could determine the level of wild Pokemon.
This point was actually very important. Normal Trainers couldn't accurately determine this in the wild without an Instrument.
So, they would avoid direct encounters and battles with wild Pokemon unless it was the target or unavoidable.
Otherwise, if they couldn't win or got injured, it would pose a great threat to their life and safety in the wild.
Tetsuya didn't have this concern and could maximize his income while ensuring the combat strength of both sides.
The four Pokemon whose strength was roughly just entering the Elite Level were the best proof.
Otherwise, if he avoided them and only looked for his mission targets, encountering one every ten days or so would be considered lucky.
After all, if the mission target's group was too large or too strong, and he couldn't defeat them and complete the mission, he would have to give up and search again.
Finally, Tetsuya's strength had also increased. With Combusken and Pidgeot, he could completely handle most Elite Level Pokemon, at least in Viridian Forest.
In Mt. Moon, Pidgeot was still quite inconvenient due to the terrain.
Combining all the factors above, Tetsuya was able to achieve such an exaggerated income.
Otherwise, even a Normal Trainer with the same strength as Tetsuya, while maintaining the same training intensity and breeding expenses over these five days, would at most earn around 100,000.
That would still be considered good luck for that Trainer.
However, generally speaking, he couldn't do this all the time. He had also gotten a bit carried away suddenly.
Tetsuya began to reflect on himself.
After all, with such intense training and battles every day, there wasn't much time for rest. While considering whether his own body could handle it, his two Pokemon also visibly showed fatigue, their condition somewhat declining.
Most of the time, a balance of work and rest was better. Training one day and doing missions the next was more reasonable, and it wouldn't significantly impact his income.
Following his plan, staying in each city for about a month, eight Gyms in eight months, with about a month left for training, he could just make it in time for the opening of the Indigo Plateau Conference this year.
The construction of his main team would also speed up considerably.
Mainly, Tetsuya had underestimated the progress speed of his Pokemon. Leaving Pidgeot aside, the difficulty of increasing its level was higher, and it had basically not changed in these four days.
Combusken had increased by one level in these four days of continuous battles and training, now at Level 27.
At this rate, by the time he left Pewter City, Combusken would probably have broken through to Elite Level.
By then...
Ding~ His Pokemon Watch interrupted Tetsuya's thoughts.
Opening it, he saw a message from Brock asking if he had left yet.
Checking the time, there was only half an hour left. Tetsuya quickly set off; being late was never good.
He sent a reply to Brock saying he had already left and jogged all the way to the entrance of the Pewter Gym, where Brock was already waiting.
"Sorry, sorry, I'm late," Tetsuya said, a little embarrassed.
"No, there's still some time. I was just a bit anxious," Brock said with a smile, his eyes narrowed.
"Since you're here, come in with me. Let's go see my Geodude first, and then we can talk about the things I'm giving you."
Tetsuya nodded and followed Brock into the Gym.
