Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

A large moth sprite emerged from the hole, its three pairs of orange-red wings slowly unfurling. On these wings, one could see tiny black particles irregularly distributed, much like sunspots on the sun.

It has a pair of emotionless, deep blue eyes, red antennae around its cheeks, a plump body, a ring of white fur around its upper body, and four short, delicate legs. Its abdomen is black in the center and light blue on the outside.

Just as Xia Yan had guessed.

Volcano!

Bug-type and Fire-type Pokémon.

Legend has it that the fire moth is born from a cocoon burning with flames, and when the ground turns black due to volcanic ash, its flames take the place of the sun, thus it is considered the embodiment of the sun.

During battle, the Volcano moth would fly around scattering fiery scales, turning the surrounding area into a sea of ​​fire. Therefore, ancient people fearfully called it the wrath of the sun.

The scales that Xia Yan saw in the tunnel earlier were made by the person in front of him.

The Volcarona, which had fallen into a deep sleep for some unknown reason, awoke after Xia Yan took away the Primal Groudon carapace fragments below.

The fire moths are currently in a hazy, newly awakened state.

Even the terrifying heatwave it unconsciously released left Kadabra struggling to defend itself and unable to use Instant Transmission.

"Baruya—"

Sensing the presence of Volcarona, even Dralongaru, who had been hiding and detached from the situation, revealed himself, staring intently at Volcarona as it awoke.

Although there are many legends about Volcarona, they are not actually legendary Pokémon. Strictly speaking, they are not much different from ordinary Pokémon.

The only difference.

It's possible that the evolution process of this type of Pokémon is extremely long, even longer than that of many pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

This makes it extremely difficult for the Volcarona to appear.

And once they appear, their strength will not be weak.

Clearly, this Volcarona, which has been here for countless years, is one of the best among all Volcarona Pokémon. Even Dragapult can feel some pressure from it.

As his azure eyes gradually regained their clarity, they swept over Xia Yan's side.

The appearance of Doronbaruto undoubtedly put immense pressure and threat on the Volcano moth.

"It's time to go."

Having witnessed the awakening of the Volcano Moth, there was no point in staying any longer.

Throw out the Poké Ball.

The summoned creature is Blazing Turtlemon.

While Blazemon certainly couldn't defeat the Volcarona with its current strength, it could at least withstand the raging heatwave and create an opportunity for Kadabra.

With Torterra's back to Volcarona, Kadabra breathed a slight sigh of relief and immediately enveloped them with his psychic powers.

The next instant, he led Xia Yan and the elves to a place far away from the cave where Volcarona was located.

After they left, the Volcano finally awoke from their hazy consciousness!

...

...

Outside the Valley of Flames.

An unnamed mountain covered with jagged rocks.

A place relatively far from the fire moth.

Unsure where the Vulcan moth would go after waking up, Xia Yan did not choose to return to the previous underground space, but instead ran to a more distant place.

Several spirits were summoned.

boom!!

A deafening roar, like the earth splitting open, rose slowly from a corner of the distant Flame Valley, just like the rising sun.

The alternate dimension, which had been completely plunged into darkness, now seemed to have a second sun appear.

The orange glow illuminated the place as if it were daytime.

Many wild elves who were preparing to go to sleep, or who were about to begin their hunt as night fell, stopped what they were doing and looked up at the small sun.

The light was abundant and warm, a sight many elves had never witnessed in their entire lives.

among them.

This includes the little Flame Monkey standing next to Xia Yan at this moment.

The appearance of the Volcano Moth has filled the void left by countless elves in the alternate dimension who have never seen the sun.

"Chakoi!" Tokigra called out, pulling the little Chimchar along.

Look! The sun!

sun......

The elves living in this alternate dimension have never actually seen the so-called sun.

This was a scene it had never imagined.

It looked up at the sky, its round eyes reflecting the sun that the fire moth had transformed into. The twinkling lights in its eyes complemented the "sun" it saw.

“Cha-ke-yi—”

'It's a bit small...'

Togekiss's soft muttering reached Chimchar's ears, causing Chimchar to lose all restraint.

Such a scene, surprisingly, conveyed a sense of regret in Pokkiku's words?

pity?

The little fire monkey wanted to see the outside world, to see the real sun, to eat a bite of cool, soft ice cream, and to ride in a car with four wheels made of sheet metal.

It wanted to...

Go check it out!

It wants more....

Become as strong as this fire moth.

That dazzling radiance drew attention, that unrestrained freedom of movement...

"Cough!"

The little fire monkey clung tightly to Xia Yan's trouser leg, its tiny eyes filled with longing.

'Take me to see this! I want to become stronger!'

Xia Yan, who was staring intently at the appearance of the Volcarona, smiled when he saw the little Flame Monkey's eager and impatient expression.

"it is good!"

Without any hesitation or unnecessary elaboration, it was simply a matter of agreement, yet it contained many inexplicable things.

Take out a Poké Ball and place it in front of Chimchar.

Having witnessed Xia Yan summon and recall his Pokémon, Chimchar no longer hesitated and pressed the dot in the center of the Poké Ball.

It was afraid that if it hesitated any longer, it would miss out.

As the Poké Ball opened, it enveloped the Chimchar in a red light and captured it.

And with a "thud," the Poké Ball successfully captured the little Chimchar.

New members have joined.

Beedrill, Kadabra, Togekiss, and the Twin Blades that peeked out from the shadows all showed delight.

Although the little fire monkey is still somewhat weaker than them.

But they all believed that under Xia Yan's guidance, the little fire monkey would soon grow to the point where it could share their burdens and become someone they could trust to rely on.

Xia Yan opened the Poké Ball of the Chimchar.

With a flash of red light, the little fire monkey reappeared.

Faced with the enthusiastic welcome from several elves, it scratched its cheek shyly, feeling a little uncomfortable with being so valued.

Xia Yan squatted down and patted its head.

"From now on, let's get along well, little chimera."

"Cough!"

The little fire monkey nodded repeatedly, and the flames on its back gradually expanded, showing extreme excitement.

"As a gift, this will become one of your main training tools for the next period of time. However, because it is dangerous and has a special allure for some people, it cannot be entrusted to you for safekeeping for the time being."

As he spoke, Xia Yan took out the stick that Togekiss and Chimchar had pieced together.

Golden patterns shimmered on the dark red stick.

Fragments of the original Groudon!

Although the shape has changed, the function is actually the same.

It has certain unique characteristics, and if it were seen by someone with ulterior motives, it would inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. Therefore, Xia Yan planned to use it as a training tool for the little Flame Monkey to see if it could gain any benefits from it, since it was also used to pick its teeth.

Actually, there's also the problem of the little fire monkey's flashing color, and Xia Yan is already considering how to change and cover up this problem.

"Cough!"

The little fire monkey's eyes lit up, and it reached out and grabbed the broken piece.

Suddenly.

The little fire monkey's arm jerked.

I only felt a brute force of energy flowing from the fragments through its arm into my body.

The flames at its tail suddenly surged, and even its body was engulfed in flames, flickering and pulsating at the same frequency as the golden patterns on the fragments.

Xia Yan's expression changed slightly as he looked at the little fire monkey whose entire body was enveloped in flames.

"Fire?"

At that moment, he finally confirmed the characteristics of Chimchar.
