A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

In his mind, two attribute panels flashing with garbled characters acted like warning lights, causing Zhang Heng's heart to race.

Mythical beasts! And two of them appeared at once!

If this news were to get out, it would be enough to cause a huge uproar in the entire trainer world.

He quickly calmed down and began to rapidly analyze the current situation.

[Information 1]: Champion level, some attribute information is garbled (fire, ?).

[Information 2]: Master level, some attribute information is garbled (fire, ?).

“Master level… This is very likely a divine beast with divine authority. These beings, representing the will and authority of the world, cannot be subdued. Approaching rashly will only bring unpredictable dangers, or even anger them, which would be a loss.”

Zhang Heng pondered to himself, "While the champion-level... is also a divine beast, it means that it may be in its growth stage, or its power level may not have reached the untouchable peak yet."

"With my team's current strength, and if we have the advantage in attributes and the right tactics, perhaps... we have a sliver of a chance!"

He recalled his available combat power: Charizard was the main force, but in this secret realm, Kingdra, Urshifu, and other water-type acees were greatly suppressed.

Swampert, Gengar, and Milotic cannot be used as the main force in high-level games, and they are also difficult to exert their full strength.

With the balance shifting, challenging even a champion-level legendary Pokémon is already the limit.

Having made up his mind, he compared the positions of the two red dots on the map in his mind and chose the direction of the light dot that represented the Champion-level legendary Pokémon.

“Cheng Lan,” he turned his head, his tone steady, “let’s go in this direction.” He pointed to the chosen direction.

Cheng Lan didn't ask any further questions, she just nodded.

She was sensible, because the crucial S-grade damp rock was in his hands, and following him was the wisest choice.

"it is good."

The two, one in front and one behind, cautiously made their way toward their target, with Charizard providing aerial surveillance and Kecleon scouting on the ground.

The scorched earth beneath our feet seemed endless, and the pervasive smell of sulfur and the heat almost solidified in the air. After walking for about fifteen minutes, the scenery ahead suddenly changed!

They arrived at a more open area, where the center was not solid rock, but a huge lava lake that flowed slowly, emitted a dark red light, and constantly bubbled!

The lake was vast, and the scorching heat was overwhelming. Even with the damp rocks weakening the heat, one could still feel the terrifyingly high temperature that seemed capable of melting everything.

However, in stark contrast to this devastating scene, the area is teeming with life! It's like a paradise for Fire-type Pokémon!

Several lava worms slowly crawled along the edge of the lava lake, while their evolved lava snails, carrying heavy shells, lay on the scorching rocks, with a faint red glow emanating from the cracks in their shells.

A group of silly fire camels huddled together, dozing off, while their massive predecessors, the fire-breathing camels, resembled moving hills, with volcanoes on their backs symbolizing the energy within them, occasionally spewing out sparks and smoke.

The platypus frolics by the lava lake, dipping its arms into the lava as if washing its hands;

The coal turtles huddled inside their shells, and hot air continuously escaped from the holes in the shells.

You can even see several rare, bright red roly-poly toys bouncing and jumping on the scorching hot stones...

Far from being uncomfortable in this extreme environment, they appeared unusually comfortable and active.

Some swim freely in the lava, while others playfully frolic with each other using tiny flames, creating a strange yet harmonious picture of life.

"My goodness... this place is practically a paradise for Fire-type Pokémon!"

Cheng Lan couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. Even though she majored in water systems, she was still shocked by the magnificent and unique ecological scene before her.

"Yes, the concentration of fire energy here is far greater than outside, making it the best habitat and energy source for them."

Zhang Heng agreed, while his sharp eyes scanned the area, searching for potential targets to subdue.

His gaze quickly settled on a particularly enormous fire-breathing camel with a particularly active volcano on its back. With a thought, the system panel quietly appeared:

Pokémon Name: Camerupt

[Attributes]: Ground, Fire

[Qualification]: Quasi-King Level

【Characteristics】: Hard Rock

"A fire-breathing camel at the near-heavenly king level!"

Zhang Heng was slightly startled. Camerupt was already a relatively rare Pokémon, and it even had the potential for Mega Evolution!

More importantly, it is the only Pokémon besides Primal Groudon that has both Ground and Fire types, making its type combination very unique.

Its move pool includes Flamethrower, a powerful Fire-type move whose power is determined by its remaining HP. This makes it useful even with its Speed ​​stat of only 20 after Mega Evolution.

It can also become an extremely powerful fire-type special attack turret in doubles battle Trick Room teams!

For a moment, Zhang Heng did indeed consider subduing him.

This will not only advance the Fire-type capture mission, but also add another member to the Mega Evolution capture mission, and its near-Elite Four caliber potential is excellent enough.

His eyes burned with passion, but reason quickly prevailed again.

He took a deep breath of the scorching air and forcibly suppressed the urge.

"There are too many Fire-type Pokémon here. If a conflict breaks out, it could easily trigger a group attack."

"Moreover, my main force is being suppressed here, and we must conserve enough stamina and combat power to deal with that unknown champion-level divine beast. We cannot afford to lose sight of the bigger picture for the sake of a small gain."

He silently reminded himself that the principle of picking up sesame seeds but losing watermelons is still very simple and easy to understand. He shifted his gaze from the fire-breathing camel and regained his composure.

“Let’s keep going,” Zhang Heng said to Cheng Lan.

Cheng Lan keenly noticed the change in Zhang Heng's eyes just now, and was slightly surprised.

She could sense that Zhang Heng was very interested in the fire-breathing camel, but for some reason he gave up. Did he know there was something better ahead?

Although she was curious, she didn't ask any more questions, since she wasn't particularly interested in Fire-type Pokémon.

Her attention was drawn to some strange stones on the edge of the lava lake that shimmered with an orange-red light and seemed to have flames flowing inside.

She crouched down, took out a small entrenching tool, and carefully tapped and collected the material.

Zhang Heng, puzzled, asked, "Is there anything special about these stones?"

"These should be excellent raw materials for making Flame Orbs and Scorching Rocks,"

As Cheng Lan collected the resources, she explained to Zhang Heng, "Once we get out, we can exchange them for some water-based resources that are suitable for my team."

Zhang Heng nodded in understanding. Although the attributes here were not a good match, the value of the item could still be reflected in the trade.

Just as Cheng Lan put several good-quality fire stones into her backpack and was about to get up and follow, Zhang Heng's attention was drawn to the unusual activity in the center of the lava lake.

In the slowly flowing dark red lava, several slender, crimson figures, resembling centipedes, were nimbly moving about!

Their segmented bodies are covered with hard shells, and their multiple pairs of abdominal legs move through viscous magma, as if it were not lava that could melt metal, but a warm ocean—these are the Fire Centipedes!

"Crack-!"

Suddenly, a massive figure, thicker, longer, and darker in color, burst forth from the center of the lava lake!

It is like the king of the fire centipedes, several times larger than the ordinary fire centipede, with striking yellow markings on its crimson carapace.

With a ferocious head, sharp mouthparts, and a body radiating a chilling heat and ferocity, it is the evolved form of the Fire Centipede, the Flame Centipede!

As soon as the Flaming Centipede appeared, its cold compound eyes immediately locked onto Zhang Heng.
