Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

As he spoke, he stuffed the prepared energy cube into the little fire monkey's arms.

Then, tentatively...

I reached out and rubbed its head.

The little fire monkey was stunned for a moment, and before it could resist, Xia Yan pulled his hand away.

The only one who ever patted its head was that fiery beast it admired, Xia Yan... was the second.

The feeling is completely different.

"Eat."

“Cha-ke-yi—”

Urged on by Togekiss, Chimchar finally sat down on the ground in a daze.

Coming to my senses, I carefully took out one of the pieces, examined it closely, and then tentatively took a small bite.

Instantly, a fragrant aroma burst forth in its mouth.

"Cough!"

The little fire monkey's eyes lit up instantly.

He looked at Xia Yan with a face full of surprise.

What is this?

"Eat obediently."

Xia Yan patted its head again with a smile, then got up and walked towards the Explosive Beasts.

He wasn't stingy with the Fire Beasts either, placing a large number of intermediate energy cubes, which are favored by fire-type Pokémon, at the entrance of their nests.

Seeing how much the little Flame Monkey was eating, Cyndaquil, its only friend, was the first to give in.

It took the lead in eating, and the other Cyndaquil, Rock Rats, and Explosive Beasts followed suit.

Only the leader of the fiery beasts gave Xia Yan, who had a kind and smiling face, a deep look.

It vaguely understood what Xia Yan wanted to do.

But it neither said it out loud nor stopped it.

Because in its view, this might be a better choice for the little fire monkey.

Xia Yan's strength was much greater than it had imagined.

The joyful mealtime was filled with the sounds of chewing and swallowing, with no other noises.

The only difference is that some elves do make quite a racket when they swallow.

For example, Snorlax.

In Chimchar's opinion, Snorlax could easily devour it one bite at a time.

Xia Yan finally had the opportunity to sit down and observe these elves up close.

As expected, the previous Cyndaquil was indeed quite good; it was the most talented of all the Cyndaquils in the Fiery Beast Clan.

However, he was too well protected by the Fire Beast, which made him somewhat timid and weak.

The little fire monkey is also good.

But it's clear that this competitive animal has already shown signs of self-training.

However, this trace is not very obvious yet, because its training was obviously self-taught, and it did not learn anything from other Pokémon.

Although it is a fire-type Pokémon like Typhlosion, their fighting styles are completely different.

The Flamemon understood this, so it didn't interfere with the little Flamemon's self-training, but simply let it train and figure things out on its own.

This caused Chimchar to take many unnecessary detours, but it also prevented it from leaving any trace of Pokémon.

It has decent plasticity.

What puzzled Xia Yan was Chimchar's ability.

Chimchar has two abilities: the more common "Blaze" ability, which unleashes stronger Fire-type moves when its HP is low, and the "Iron Fist" ability, which is more suited to the Fighting-type.

Logically, given Chimchar's daily punching stance, it's highly likely to have the "Iron Fist" ability, but upon closer observation, it's not that obvious.

Just as Xia Yan was about to ask the little fire monkey what moves it knew.

But then I saw it patting its belly after eating its fill, and carefully taking out a small, sharp stone shard, about the length of a finger, from the thick fur where the flames met its fur at its rear end.

Then he put it in his mouth...to pick his teeth.

Xia Yan, who saw the stone shard, and Pokkigu, who was standing right next to it, were stunned.

Xia Yan and Pokkigu exchanged a glance.

They recognize this stone slab!

Isn't this the original Groudon carapace fragment they've been searching for all this time?

Although this piece is much smaller, the feeling is definitely right.

Such a valuable stone shard, the little fire monkey is using it to pick its teeth?

I wonder if Groudon would jump out of the ground and give Chimchar a Precipice Sword if it found out?

"Little Flame Monkey, where did you get this thing from?" Xia Yan couldn't help but ask.

Chapter 93 Groudon got destroyed?

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, the little fire monkey took out the dark red fragment from its mouth with some confusion.

It likes its own little tooth-picking gadget, but it seems... Xia Yan and Pokkigu like it too?

After thinking for a moment, the little fire monkey reached out and handed it over.

"Gurgle—"

'It's yours.'

Xia Yan looked at the fragments in the little Chimchar's palm, still covered in the little Chimchar's saliva, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

He gently pressed his temple.

“I don’t want this thing of yours, I’m just curious where you got it from?” Xia Yan explained.

Judging by the sharpness of these fragments, could they have been painstakingly polished by the little fire monkey with its teeth?

Does that mean it ingested some of the powder?

this......

Xia Yan felt he needed to re-evaluate the talent and potential of this shiny little fire monkey.

"Gurgle—"

The little fire monkey suddenly realized what was happening, took the fragments back, wiped them on its body, and then stuffed them back into the fire disc's thick fur.

This fragment.

The little fire monkey liked it at first sight, but it didn't know why it liked it. It could only find a reason to appease its feelings, and in the end, it became its tooth-picking tool.

But be it, ever since Chimchar obtained this fragment, it has felt its body getting stronger day by day, and its ability to use and master fire has also improved.

The little fire monkey thought it had earned this through hard training and didn't even look at the fragment.

How effective can a tooth pick be?

Upon hearing Xia Yan ask about the origin of the fragments, it stood up and pointed in a certain direction of the intricate underground space.

The little fire monkey thought for a moment, realizing that simply pointing wouldn't let Xia Yan know where it was, so it took a few steps forward and waved to Xia Yan, signaling him to follow.

Perfect timing for a walk after dinner.

Judging from the little fire monkey's expression, it seems like it wants to take them there.

Xia Yan thought for a moment and put away all the Pokémon except for the four little ones, Togekiss and the others.

Although it should rest now, compared to the original Groudon's carapace fragments, resting isn't urgent.

Sleeping is something you can do when you're dead; there's plenty of time.

The little fire monkey called out to the fire monster and the fireball mouse.

The fiery beast nodded.

Knowing that Xia Yan would be going along, it did not object. It had just witnessed Xia Yan's "card deck" and knew that he could protect the little fire monkey.

This is also an opportunity for Chimchar.

Let it experience what it's like to be with Xia Yan. If it likes it, that would undoubtedly be a better choice for it.

Cyndaquil, however, with a hint of curiosity in its small eyes, wanted to follow and take a look, but was stopped by Typhlosion.

Chimchar knows that Typhlosion can't give it anything, and although it's reluctant, it thinks it might be better to go with someone else.

As for Cyndaquil, Typhlosion believes that following him is the best option, as he can teach it a lot.

Despite the different approaches and methods, Hot Beast made these choices from a mother's perspective, hoping that her two children could receive what was most suitable for them and the best environment for their growth.

And so, Xia Yan followed the agile little fire monkey in a certain direction.

The little fire monkey, having eaten its fill, was very lively, jumping and hopping on the ground, climbing onto a stone pillar, and stepping on a rock wall, never stopping for a moment.

Without spending time with the Cyndaquil, the little Flame Monkey temporarily forgot the disappointment in its heart.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the mother of the Typhlosion made this choice.

While walking.

Xia Yan began asking some questions about the little fire monkey.

For example, why does Chimchar live with the Beasts?

In its own words, it has been with its Typhlosion mother and Cyndaquil since the moment it was born. When it was little, it thought that Typhlosion was its mother and that it and the Cyndaquil were the same kind of Pokémon.

But as it grew older, it realized that it was different from them; it was a completely different Pokémon from Cyndaquil.
