Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Fangzhou was stunned for a moment. What kind of prop was this?

A fire poker?

"This is actually prop charcoal." Xu Kun's lips curled up when he saw that Fang Zhou was interested.

Several black lines appeared on Fangzhou's forehead. What the hell is this?

He had seen charcoal in the game, but it was a tiny piece. How could it be such a long piece?

Are you perhaps taking advantage of my ignorance of charcoal?

"This is a rather special kind of charcoal. I found it at a roadside stall. It is said to be lightning-struck wood. It was first struck by lightning, which then caused a forest fire. After being tempered by the flames, it was eventually picked up and sold."

That tree really had a lot of bad luck. It was struck by a cleaver, but luckily it wasn't killed. Then it caught fire and ultimately couldn't escape its fate.

"But I've tested it, and it's not much different from regular charcoal. Both can enhance the power of Pokémon's Fire-type moves, it's just that it might not be as convenient to carry around."

After all, it's a small piece; you can just make it into a pendant and wear it around your neck, or find somewhere on your body to put it in.

Such a long stick is definitely not suitable.

"How about it? If you fight me once and pass the Gym level battle, I'll give you this piece of charcoal. I think it goes quite well with your Chimchar."

Free items are free, why not take them?

Moreover, it really suits the little fire monkey quite well; the little fire monkey is just one golden cudgel away from becoming the Great Sage Sun!

"Chirp~"

Looking at the powerful Swampert on the other side, Chimchar's eyes seemed to burn with the flames of war.

It was not injured and was still in good condition; it felt it could still fight.

"You still want to fight? This time, the opponent is a gym leader, not a newbie you just defeated."

"Chirp!"

Chimchar said that it was originally stuck at the bottleneck between Elite and Gym Leader levels, just like Kirlia. Now that Kirlia has successfully broken through, it's the only one left to do so.

It was eager to increase its strength to remove the curse, and needed to quickly break through to the Dojo level, and then further advance to the Elite Four level.

It had a premonition that after advancing to the Celestial King level, it would not only no longer have to endure the curse, but it might even be qualified to try to master the Ho-Oh's sacred flame.

"Alright." Fangzhou smiled helplessly; he respected Pokémon's choice.

Since Chimchar still wants to fight, then let's keep fighting!

"Are you sure you still want to use this little Chimchar? This time I'm going all out! Swampert, get out there!"

A flash of white light, and a huge figure appeared on the field.

It has a blue body, huge fins on its head and tail, and walks on all fours with bulging muscles all over its body.

"Afraid!!!"

[Elf: Swampert]

Gender: Male

【Characteristic: Moisture】

[Growth Stage: Dojo Level]

[Skills: Mud Shot (Mastery), Water Cannon (Mastery), Water Pulse (Beginner), Falling Rocks (Mastery)...]

[Affection level: 0 (Not familiar with you)]

[Mood: 70 (So sleepy. Let me see who my opponent is today? Hmm? It's just a Chimchar? A mere Chimchar, I'll take it down in two hits! Time to go back to sleep!)]

"This is a Water/Ground type Swampert! Are you sure you're not going to change your Pokémon?"

Xu Kun couldn't believe that Ark only had this one Pokémon, given that a Chimchar had been trained to this level.

Fangzhou looked at the little fire monkey, only to see that the little fire monkey's face was full of determination.

"Chirp!" (Slap!)

"Chirp!" (It's just a Gym Leader level Swampert!)

"Chirp chirp chirp!" (It's attacking a Gym Leader-level Swampert!)

Fangzhou nodded. "Very good!"

That's backbone!

As expected of my little Flame Monkey.

Chimchar needs a high-intensity battle to break through. Whether it can reach the Gym level or get Charcoal today, as long as it can break through in the competition...

We've won!

"Little Chimchar, breathe fire!"

Chimchar's fire talent has been recognized by Ho-Oh. While the flames of ordinary Fire-type Pokémon are red, its flames are orange!

Flames also come in different levels.

The flames that Pokémon breathe are usually red.

Above the red flame is orange; Charizard and other third-stage Pokémon use orange flames.

Chimchar's flames are already orange!

Further up, there's the blue flame that Charizard can control through Mega Evolution.

A higher level is Reshiram's Blue Flame skill, which spews out bluish-white flames.

The highest level is Ho-Oh's golden holy flame.

In other words, from low to high, the colors are red, orange, blue, cyan, and gold.

On the field, the raging flames transformed into a giant dragon that opened its massive maw, attempting to swallow Swampert whole, just like it had done with Oddish before.

Seeing such a powerful jet of flame again, Xu Kun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. His Oddish had just been instantly killed by this move.

However, the situation is completely different now!

"Swamp Monster, Water Cannon!"

"Afraid!!!"

Swamp Monster opened its huge mouth, and a thick stream of water shot out with an unstoppable momentum!

Zizizi!

Water cannons and flames clashed in the air, and countless plumes of water vapor spread outwards as they turned into white mist!

But it's obvious that it's only a Tier 1 Pokémon, and only at the peak of the Elite level, since Water type is super effective against Fire type.

After a brief stalemate, Chimchar's Flamethrower began to be propelled in the opposite direction.

"Increase the intensity, unleash the full power of the water cannons!"

"Afraid!!!"

The water cannon in the air instantly grew several sizes larger, completely destroying the flames.

"Watch out! Get out of the way!"

The little chimpanzee deftly rolled to the side the instant the water jet hit it, but the raging water still grazed its left shoulder.

"Squeak!" The little fire monkey cried out in pain as it was carried away by the water and rolled several times on the ground before regaining its balance.

The hair on my left shoulder was soaked by the water, and I felt a stinging pain.

He knelt on one knee, panting heavily.

"Can we continue?" Fangzhou asked with concern.

"Chirp!" The little Chimchar vigorously shook off the water droplets on its body, stood up straight again, and looked at its opponent seriously.

"Still not giving up? If your strongest Pokémon is this little Chimchar, you'll never get the Gym Leader Certificate. Swampert, Rock Throw!"

Swampert slammed its fists into the ground, and countless huge rocks suddenly rose up around the arena.

These rocks, suspended in mid-air, fell with unstoppable force at the Swamp Monster's command, like a collision of Mars and Earth.

"Little Chimchar, get out of the way!"

Its small size actually gives it an advantage when facing falling rocks.

Its small body moved nimbly between the rocks, leaping onto them to dodge attacks from other rocks, and the falling rock attack had no effect on it.

Xu Kun grinned.

The Falling Rocks skill was just a decoy; Chimchar is now airborne and has nowhere to hide.

It's now!

"Swamp Monster, Water Cannon!"

A powerful water cannon shot out, hitting the little fire monkey in mid-air!
