Pokémon: Who let him leave Pallet Town?

Chapter 259 Fire-Breathing Dragon Valley

"As you can see, this child is a fire-breathing dragon."

Natsume said earnestly.

"Uuuuuu——"

The giant dragon pounded its chest; the exertion of the past few days had left it drenched in sweat, its body covered in bloody sweat, making it look as if it were engulfed in flames.

Ji Ke's lips twitched slightly.

He had never seen anything this big, not even a Dragonite, let alone a Charizard.

"Mr. Natsume, there are limited spots available." Ji Ke shook his head regretfully, then continued:
"More important than whether they are Charizards or not, there is a more important rule in our Charizard Valley when accepting outsiders."

Ji Ke paused slightly and said:
"That is, either the talent is poor, or the trainer has made a mess of it."

After the words fell, everyone was stunned.

Shouldn't the greater the talent of a recruit, the higher the probability of success?
Xiao Zhi stroked his chin, using his limited emotional intelligence to ponder whether Ji Ke was indirectly criticizing him.

"That's a match made in heaven."

Natsume grasped Ji Ke's hand, shook it vigorously twice, and then handed Ji Ke the physical examination report and talent assessment report for the Great Dragonite.

"All zeros? How is that possible!"

Ji Ke's eyes widened.

The next second, she looked at the Great Dragon's medical report, and her expression immediately became serious.

"I don't care if this child is a Charizard or not, why is its physical condition so bad?"

Ji Ke looked at Natsume warily.

"Because I grew up drinking milk that was exposed to radiation, this is why I am like this."

Natsume pointed at the Great Dragonite and waved his hand.

Ji Ke was slightly taken aback, somewhat not understanding what Natsume meant.

But after seeing that the other party showed their researcher credentials, they stopped asking questions.

"Even if you can get the Alliance to requisition your equipment for experiments, the rules of the Fire Dragon Valley cannot be broken."

"Here's what we'll do. Follow this river and you'll find the Charizard Valley. Ride your respective Charizards over here."

As he spoke, Ji Ke glanced at the Great Dragonite.

"Woo~"

The Great Jaggi, looking fierce and menacing, glared back defiantly.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that carrying people is simple; it's a technical and physically demanding job."

At this point, Ji Ke paused:

"If the trainer and their Pokémon have a good synergy, they can save the Pokémon's energy. If they don't coordinate well, they might even have trouble maintaining their flight posture."

Clearly, Ji Ke also discovered the weakness of the Giant Dragonite.

“Miss Ji Ke, you’ve also seen my Charizard’s medical report.”

Natsume waved his hand, his meaning quite clear.

"No, a good trainer can not only help Pokémon conserve energy, but also help Pokémon break through their limits and accomplish the impossible."

Ji Ke shook his head, determined not to let Natsume enter the Fire-Breathing Dragon Valley.

Before Natsume could open his mouth, she flipped over onto Lisa and immediately shot into the air.

After Ji Ke's figure disappeared, Xiao Zhi turned around and looked at Natsume:
"Natsume-nii, should we chase after them?"

"Of course."

Natsume nodded.

"But my Charizard has never flown with a person on board."

Ash was a little stunned, then turned to look at Charizard.

However, the latter patted his chest confidently, indicating that he had no problem at all.

"In that case, let's set off!"

Ash imitated Ji Ke's posture and flipped onto Charizard.

"Pickup!"

Pikachu leaped up and landed on Ash's shoulder.

"Roar!"

The fire-breathing dragon roared to the sky and soared into the heavens!
"Wow, it looks like there's absolutely no problem," Xiao Gang exclaimed.

"really?"

Xiaoxia's expression was a little strange.

Sure enough, within five seconds, the Charizard's flight path began to become erratic.

"Hey, Charizard, what are you doing going into the river?!"

Ash frantically clung to Charizard's neck.

"Roar—" Just a second before plunging into the river, Charizard managed to stop in time, halting its movement and wobbling as it flew forward.

"It looks like it was a close call but nothing serious happened." Xiaoxia breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, Mr. Natsume, how will you get there?"

Jiaozi looked at Natsume with curiosity.

Natsume turned his head and looked at Dragonite, who in turn turned back and looked at Natsume as well.

After a while, the giant dragon understood and, imitating Ash's posture, began to climb onto Natsume using both its hands and feet.

A surge of telekinesis erupted, beginning to envelop his entire body and lifting Natsume and the Great Dragonite.

The giant dragon clamped Natsume's head tightly between its two large hands, as if it were holding a hard-boiled egg.

"Um, is this really okay?"

Xiaoxia complained.

The two of them were in a posture that resembled adults riding toy bicycles.

"boom!"

A surge of violent psychic power erupted, and Natsume, along with the Great Dragonite, soared into the sky.

Steep cliffs begin to appear on both sides of the river.

Following the river upstream, at its end, there is a magnificent stone building that, from a distance, looks like a dam.

On the left and right sides of the building stand two huge fire-breathing dragon statues, each in the classic pose of breathing fire upwards.

At the very center of the building, an ancient-style gate opens, from which countless steps extend out, eventually connecting with the river.

"Whoo~"

A powerful wind blew up the red soil on the ground, and a fire-breathing dragon with a bow tied around its neck landed in front of the gate with its owner.

"Those two guys definitely won't make it, but that Charizard still has a chance."

Ji Ke muttered to himself, looking into the distance along the river.

"Miss Ji Ke."

Natsume's voice sounded from behind.

"Natsume!"

Ji Ke was surprised and looked back sharply. He saw Natsume with an honest and simple face, and the adorable, wide-eyed Dragonite.

Because it wore the Charizard's long muzzle, the Great Jaggi's fierce-looking face was completely covered.

"You...how did you get here?!"

Ji Kejie Baba.

"Oh, I see, you have other Flying-type Pokémon!"

Ji Ke suddenly realized.

"no."

Natsume demonstrated on the spot, holding up the large dragon and soaring into the air, where it circled once.

"Miss Ji Ke, can my Charizard enter the valley now?"

Natsume put the giant dragon down and looked at Ji Ke, who looked completely bewildered.

"Wait, you're a superhuman, this is cheating!"

Ji Ke pointed at Natsume, only realizing it belatedly.

Natsume's expression immediately turned serious. He cleared his throat and said:

"No, a good trainer can not only help Pokémon conserve energy, but also help Pokémon break through their limits and accomplish the impossible."

Ji Ke fell silent.

These were the words she had just said to Natsume.

Now it has been returned to me exactly as it was.

"Uuuuuu——"

Behind Natsume, Daikai Ryu was vigorously pounding its chest.

Its mountain-like shape produced a deep, resonant sound with each strike, like thunder, exuding immense power.

Although I have no idea what the trainer was babbling about.

But the guy with the middle parting told her that if she didn't know what to do, she should just pat her chest and say yes, as long as she didn't lose face.

"Okay, let's talk about that trainer named Ash."

Ji Ke frowned slightly and gave the Great Dragonite a complicated look.

Behind them, the Charizard in the valley seemed to have heard the roar of the Great Jaggi outside, and streaks of fire shot into the sky.

In a valley full of Charizards, a Dragonite sneaks in. There shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?
