Chapter 200 The World's Number One Charizard
The battle between the old fountain and its first opponent in the valley lasted for quite some time, but in the end, the old fountain emerged victorious.
However, he also suffered quite a few injuries, with several new claw marks on his stomach, indicating that this victory was not easy.
"Looks like it's time to use Mega Evolution ahead of schedule." Ash originally wanted to save it as a trump card when challenging the strongest Charizard in the valley.
I didn't expect the fire-breathing dragons here to be even stronger than I imagined.
"Ash, it's actually best for trainers not to participate in commanding battles when training in the Charizard Valley."
"The right way to train in the valley is to let the Charizard hone itself in the wildest environment."
Just as Ash was about to take Mega Charizard Y to challenge the next opponent, Ji Ke suddenly appeared behind them and reminded them.
It seems that's true; Xiao Zhi did hear Ji Ke say that on the way here.
Upon arriving in the valley and seeing these powerful opponents, Ash got carried away and charged forward with Charizard, completely forgetting about the previous incident.
"Then you can handle the rest, Charizard."
If the trainer doesn't participate in the command, Mega Evolution can't be used.
Old Man Peng, standing to the side, suddenly revealed his beady eyes, his expression a little dazed.
But in the end, it still barked at Ash a few times, indicating that it wanted to give it a try.
"Okay." Ash released Ralts and used Healing Pulse on Charizard to heal it.
Healing Wave is a skill Ralts just learned in Charizard Valley.
This is a tradition in the valley, because every Charizard that comes here to train is very prone to injury.
Since there are no Pokémon Centers nearby, the valley is often stocked with TMs for healing moves like Healing Pulse.
So Ash let Ralts learn, and the results were better than expected.
Ralts placed its small hand on Charizard, and energy fluctuations immediately emanated from its palm.
Even Pikachu, standing to the side, felt soothed and showed a comfortable expression.
The shockwave spread throughout Charizard's entire body, and the old Charizard's injuries were quickly healed under Ralts's treatment, and the newly added hideous scar on its belly also disappeared.
"Looks like I'll be able to save a lot of money on medicine from now on."
Overjoyed, Xiao Zhi now regretted not thinking of this move sooner.
"Ralts, you're amazing!"
"Ralts~"
[Ding! Ralts: Affection +1; Intimacy +1]
The little guy was unaware of the arduous fate that was about to befall him, and he smiled sweetly as Xiaozhi patted his head.
Suddenly, its entire body emitted a dazzling light, and Ralts began to evolve.
This little guy has been with Ash for quite some time now, and it's about time he evolved.
In the light, Ralts's figure began to grow taller, and her lower body appeared as an extension of her skirt.
Like the previous Ralts, the Shiny Ralts also evolves into a Pokémon that looks like a young girl.
However, its hair and feet are blue, while the two horns on its head are orange.
"Great, Kirlia!" Ash immediately picked it up and petted it.
Shiny Ralts has evolved into Shiny Kirlia. Its healing efficiency will definitely be higher after evolution.
"Go, Kirlia!"
With Kirlia's Healing Pulse, Charizard should be able to fight hundreds more times.
With their recovered Charizard and Kirlia in tow, Ash and his friends immediately set off to find a new Charizard.
However, without Ash's guidance, Charizard obediently followed Ji Ke's recommendations.
Start by challenging the weaker Charizards in the valley and gradually ascend.
"This is the gentlest Charizard in Charizard Valley," Ji Ke said, pointing to a huge Charizard that was sleeping.
"They're a good opponent for your first independent operation."
"But it's bigger than Ash's Charizard."
Xiaoxia was not surprised; this Charizard was one of the few in the valley that was even larger than the old Charizard.
"It's precisely because of their large size that even those with a gentle nature can survive in the valley."
"How's your Charizard going? Want to battle it out?"
"roar!"
Old Fen strode toward his opponent, only to find upon closer inspection that the opponent seemed to be fast asleep.
I could only cautiously extend my finger and poke its arm.
Unexpectedly, the Charizard on the other side suddenly woke up and revealed a terrifying look.
The huge mouth, filled with sharp teeth, instantly burst into flames and snapped at Old Spray's neck with incredible speed.
"Flame Fang, is this the gentlest fire-breathing dragon in the valley?"
"On the other hand."
Charizard, who has been with Ash since its Charmander days, is a little unaccustomed to being away from Ash's command for the first time.
The Charizard opposite was using both its mouth and claws, and while it was biting out its Flame Fang, its fists didn't stop either.
Flame Fist kept raining blows on Old Spray's head.
The battles are wild and have a feel of unrestricted combat.
This resulted in the old flamer having stronger stats than the opponent, but falling behind from the start in actual combat.
To give an analogy, Lao Pen is a pampered young master from a wealthy family, who is also physically strong and has studied martial arts.
On the other side were terrorists who frequented gangs and had blood on their hands.
Ash almost couldn't help but want to remind Charizard, but in the end he chose to keep quiet.
"Children won't grow up unless you're firm enough to discipline them!"
Gradually, Old Spray's fighting talent was finally unleashed.
During a lull in its opponent's attack, it grabbed a nearby rock and hurled it into the opponent's mouth.
Interrupt its Flame Fangs, then immediately unleash a flame attack to knock the opponent back and create distance.
Then seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack!
The Flame Charge followed by Lightning Fist successfully stunned the opponent!
"Roar, roar, roar!!!"
Charizard was overjoyed to have finally won on its own.
Stepping on the opponent's "corpse," he tilts his head back and roars, celebrating with a burst of flames.
"Ash's Charizard is really talented! He learned to use items so quickly." Ji Ke looked at Charizard with surprise.
"Well done! As expected of my Charizard!" Ash was very pleased.
"This isn't right! Is this some kind of street brawl?" Rika was a little stunned.
She believed that if there had been a bench nearby, Ash's Charizard would have picked it up and used it.
"And why does this fighting style look so familiar?"
Of course it looks familiar; Charizard imitates Ash's usual way of hitting people.
Kirlia immediately stepped in to heal the old Charizard and the downed Charizard.
The Charizard Valley is full of strong and numerous opponents, making it a perfect place for experienced Charizards to level up.
If Charizard is replaced in the future, Ash won't send it back to Professor Oak's lab; it's better to let it train in the valley instead.
After seeing Charizard defeat its first opponent, Ash felt reassured and let it challenge its next opponent, O.
Ash himself trains and hones other Pokémon in a clearing in a nearby valley.
Meanwhile, the old man would occasionally come over covered in wounds and have Kirlia heal him.
On this day, Charizard attacked one by one, winning seven out of ten battles.
While it was engaged in intense battles, Kirlia was also exhausted, and Ash couldn't bear to continue pushing the little girl to work harder in the last few matches.
I'll just obediently take out the healing potion and treat Charizard.
That night, Ash and his friends stayed temporarily in the valley at the accommodations specially arranged for visiting trainers.
Ji Ke, who had been drinking vegetable soup until she was sick of it, was fortunate enough to taste Xiao Zhi's cooking.
Dinner ingredients were provided by Ms. Ji Ke, who claims to be a vegetarian. (Ji Ke: I'm not a vegetarian!)
Although they are all vegetarian dishes, Xiao Zhi can make them look amazing.
As he wielded the cleaver, the ingredients seemed to magically fly up and down in his hands. Tonight, Xiao Zhi was making vegetable curry.
I don't know why curry has such a high status in the Pokémon world; a chef's culinary skills are judged by how well they make curry.
However, Ash is very good at it, so he seems to be an excellent chef.
He finished quickly and served a plate to everyone present.
"Mmm, so delicious!" x4
[Ding! Xiaoxia: Affection +1]
[Ding! Pear Blossom: Affection +1]
[Ding! Ji Ke: Affection +4]
[Ding! Dan-di: Affection +5]
"Hmm, did another person suddenly appear at the end?"
It was only then that Xiao Zhi noticed that there was an unfamiliar middle-aged man on the dining table.
He sat so naturally at the dining table that Xiao Zhi even put a plate of curry on his plate.
"Where did you come from, sir?"
"What do you mean, 'uncle'? I'm only in my early twenties. Calling me 'uncle' is too much."
"But you're a really great cook, kid!"
After finishing the curry in one go, Leon gave Ash a bright smile and a thumbs-up.
"Hello, my name is Leon, and I am the champion of the Galar region. I am currently training here with my partner, Charizard."
"champion?"
"Oh right, I forgot to introduce you. Leon is also a trainer who just arrived in Charizard Valley today to give his Charizard special training."
"However, he was in another area of the valley in the morning, which is why you didn't run into him."
Only then did Ji Ke remember to introduce Dan Di to Xiao Zhi and the others.
After all, she was still in a daze from being bombarded with money by Ash all day, and was still too excited to remember this whole thing.
"He was supposed to arrive three days ago, but he got lost on the way and ended up in the valley at the same time as you."
"Haha, sorry, I'm also helpless about getting lost all the time." But Dan Di's face showed no sign of apology.
This guy's getting lost is also god-level, even worse than Ash and his friends'. He can even get lost in a slightly complicated hall.
"Dan-di, since you're the regional champion, you must be very strong, right?"
Ash's fondness for Leon suddenly increased due to their shared tendency to get lost, but what he was most concerned about was, of course, Leon's strength.
"Although it may sound like I'm bragging, I do have the title of Invincible Champion in the Galar region."
He has never lost a formal match since his debut.
"And his Charizard is even known as the world's number one Charizard," Ji Ke added.
At this moment, Ash remembered that when he went to feed the Pokémon earlier, he did see a Charizard that looked quite imposing.
I thought it was a wild fire-breathing dragon from the valley outside that had wandered in to freeload, so I didn't think much of it and gave it a bowl of premium food.
That must be Dan Emperor's Charizard.
Upon hearing that it was the world's number one Charizard, the old Charizard immediately perked up and ran to the side of Leon's Charizard, who was engrossed in eating, and threw a punch, wanting to battle it.
Unfortunately, it was a bit overworked from today's battle and hadn't fully recovered. Any slight movement caused it to immediately collapse to the ground, petrified from muscle soreness.
"Pika, Pikachu~" Then Pikachu sighed and shook its head as it dragged her back.
Leon's Charizard was left completely bewildered.
Seeing this, Ash could only smile helplessly.
Then Leon began to introduce the Galar region to Ash and his friends.
He is a very responsible champion who has always considered it his duty to promote his hometown.
There's a reason why Galar was able to grow from a backward rural area plagued by abnormal energy into a star region in the Pokémon world under his and Chairman Rose's leadership.
The sheer number of "GG" marks on Leon's cloak reveals just how much effort he has put into his hometown.
"Dynamax?"
After listening to the other party's introduction, Ash was immediately captivated by Leon's words.
"That's right. Trainers in the Galar region can Dynamax their Pokémon using the Max Bracer on their wrists."
"After Dynamaxing, not only will the Pokémon become larger and have increased stamina, but its moves will also become special Dynamax moves."
"It's a unique feature of our region."
Unfortunately, we are currently in the Johto region, so Dan-di cannot personally demonstrate it for them.
The appearance of Pokémon in the video that Leon showed Ash and his friends was enough to pique everyone's interest.
The Pokémon world is truly amazing, with unknowns waiting to be explored everywhere. Ash quietly added the Galar region to his list of future travel destinations.
"Ash, all those Pokémon outside are yours, right?" Leon suddenly said to Ash.
"Yes."
"Those Pokémon are all very strong. Ash, you will definitely be an excellent trainer."
"How about a battle?" Leon was also a trainer who longed to battle against a strong opponent.
"I want to, but I want to fight against the strongest of you even more."
Generally speaking, Ash wouldn't refuse a battle against Leon.
However, at this time, Leon only brought Charizard to the valley for training, and his Charizard was strongest in its Dynamax form.
Ash would prefer to defeat an opponent of this caliber when they are at their peak.
"With the strongest me, huh?!" Dante laughed heartily.
"Alright, I'll be waiting for your challenge in my best form."
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a new epic quest, "World's Number One Charizard!": Please use your Charizard to defeat Leon's Charizard!]
【奖励:联盟币+6000;攻击+2;体力+2;自由属性点+5;腐朽的剑+1】
The next three days were Ash and Leon's Charizard "grinding" in the valley.
Although the old master is improving rapidly, it will probably take some time before he reaches the top.
However, Leon's Charizard had already dominated the Charizard Valley, and in terms of current strength, the opponent's Charizard was still stronger.
During this time, Leon would also come to observe Ash training other Pokémon, and he was increasingly looking forward to battling Ash in the future.
After a while, Ash wanted to stay longer and spend more time with Charizard.
But after all, they still had to help Professor Oak deliver the gold and silver balls.
They could only leave Charizard behind to continue training in the valley; they left first.
"Ji Ke, someone from the company will be coming to discuss the Charmander with you soon. I'll also be asking you to take care of my Charizard as well."
Ash and Ke said goodbye at the entrance of the valley, and Charizard decided to stay there to continue training.
Anyway, once Charmander's base is built, Charizard can be teleported back whenever needed.
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Just as Ash's Charizard was enthusiastically preparing to challenge the top of Charizard Valley, Flamethrower was launched.
Not far from the valley, a pot-shaped hot air balloon floated prominently in the sky.
And it gradually drifted towards the valley.
"Finally—finally we've made a comeback!"
Inside the hot air balloon basket, Kosaburo and Amado embraced and wept bitterly.
After being knocked away by Ash at the top of the snowy mountain, they fell into a deserted desert.
Having barely escaped death and crawled back, he happened to stumble upon Ash's flying race while earning action funds in Violet City.
I also saw Musashi, Kojiro, and Nyanko-sensei. They seem to be living a very comfortable life.
I was so jealous I almost ground my teeth to powder.
"Why do we live such a miserable life every day, while Musashi and the others can eat and drink like royalty?!"
"Damn it!"
Suddenly, they spotted Ash and his friends leaving Charizard Valley from the sky.
"Target spotted in Amazon!"
"Wait a minute, the third time, they've spotted the target on the other side too!"
"It's Kosaburo!"
However, Yamado did discover a new target: Kojiro and his two companions, who were driving towards the Fire Dragon Valley.
As instructed by Ash, they were on their way to oversee the construction of the Charmander breeding base.
"What should I do? I really want to teach both sides a lesson—"
In the end, they decided to go after Kojiro and his friends first, since the new machine wasn't finished yet and they knew they couldn't beat Ash if they went after him now.
Taking advantage of their aerial advantage, they quietly approached Kojiro and his group and set up a trap.
But unexpectedly, Kojiro and Musashi were arguing in the car at that moment. In the process of fighting for the steering wheel, the car turned left and right and just happened to avoid the trap.
"How is that possible!"
Amado and Kosaburo, who were waiting to see the show from the sky, were dumbfounded.
The trio were shouting that all the prize money was going to Lucky Egg.
Meow Meow muttered "my premium cat food," Kojiro shouted "collector's edition bottle cap," and Musashi yelled "what does it matter?" and quickly drove towards the gate of Charizard Valley.
"No, we can't let them get away so easily!" Kosaburo wanted to control the hot air balloon to chase after them and cause them more trouble.
At that moment, Yamado looked ahead in horror as a huge fireball hurtled toward them at an incredible speed.
"Ah, what is this?"
With a bang, the hot air balloon exploded successfully, and Yamato and Kosaburo, who hadn't been on the scene for long, turned into shooting stars in the sky.
"What an awful feeling!" ×2
Leon, who was riding Charizard back to Galar, looked at his old friend with a puzzled expression.
"Did we just bump into something?"
Charizard simply shook its head, indicating that it didn't know either.
"Hmm... well, that's probably a speed bump."
Without further thought, Dan Di had to rush back to the competition.
Just then, Ash, who had just heard that wild Cyndaquil had appeared in some place, suddenly heard this.
