"Thank you, Miss Joey!"

"Daqi and I will definitely enjoy it."

Lu Qiming took the lunchbox from Nurse Joy's hand, then walked out of the Pokémon Center, straddled Charizard's back, and headed towards the volcano to chase after Chen Qi.

……

volcano.

It has once again fallen into a state of dormancy.

There was absolutely no sign of an eruption inside.

Only along the volcanic belt is a layer of black, hard lava, making it look as if the volcano is covered with a black lava armor.

Chen Qi rode the fire-breathing dragon and carefully searched the volcano, but found nothing.

The phantoms of the Lava Team members that appeared just before the volcano erupted never reappeared.

"Does a volcanic eruption necessarily trigger these unusual phenomena?"

"Or is it that a certain level of high temperature is required for the illusion to appear?"

"Charizard, let's go over there and try using Flamethrower."

this time.

Under Chen Qi's special training, Xiao Lao Hei has completely desensitized to using fire-type moves.

As expected, the calamity it had been fearing did not appear because it used a fire-type move.

However, it seems that there is something else in the flames of Little Black, and a special energy fluctuation will appear every time it is used.

It is far more powerful than ordinary flames.

It's as if a layer of fire buff has been added to it naturally.

If the normal attack value of other Charizards' flames is 1, then Little Black's flames are at least 1.5, and can even reach a higher value when unleashed at full power.

This may be related to Xiao Laohei's past experiences.

But every time it's mentioned, Little Black falls silent; clearly, it's a past it doesn't want to recall.

Chen Qi did not pursue the matter further.

Unlike Tanjiro, it wasn't born with him, so it's normal that there are things he doesn't know.

However, when the little black man is willing to share that past with him someday, he will be happy to listen.

He believes that even if it's not now, it will definitely happen someday in the future.

Ouch——!

Following Chen Qi's guidance, Charizard flew to the place where the mirage of Team Magma had appeared before, and unleashed a burst of blazing flames.

Lava-like flames poured down from Little Black's mouth.

Visually, it looks as if real lava is flowing out.

However, despite the continuous erosion by the flames, the area around the volcano remains unchanged.

There was not the slightest fluctuation, nor the slightest abnormality.

"It still doesn't work." Chen Qi sighed softly.

Just then, an orange figure streaked across the sky and landed steadily beside him.

"Although it's not the first time we've met!"

"But no matter how many times, your little black flames always catch people's eye!"

"This is practically cheating!"

"That's ridiculously strong!"

"I even suspect it grew up eating lava!"

Looking at the distinctive and unique flames of Little Black, Lu Qiming couldn't help but sigh.

Instead, it was greeted by a cloud of black smoke.

And a glare from the little black guy.

You're the one who grew up eating lava!

Lu Qiming immediately shut his mouth obediently. He had no doubt that if he made any more sarcastic remarks, he would be fed a mouthful of lava by the little black man.

"Stop what you're doing, Big Flag!"

"Miss Joey asked me to bring you a lunchbox. Let's eat first."

Lu Qiming grinned, his face dark (physically dark), revealing a row of white teeth. He picked up a large stack of lunch boxes and waved them in front of Chen Qi.

"Luckily, Miss Joey packed it very securely."

"Otherwise, we'll have to eat the smoked flavor today."

Little Blackie rolled his eyes at Lu Qiming again.

snort!

This time, however, Little Black didn't send him another puff of black smoke. Instead, he quietly walked away, went to a spacious flat area, lay down, crossed his legs, and began to rest with his eyes closed.

"Today's lunch is a tuna omelet sandwich and super authentic original Moo Moo fresh milk!"

Lu Qiming took out a picnic mat from somewhere and spread it out on a relatively flat area at the crater. Then he opened each lunchbox and handed them to Chen Qi.

"Occasionally, you need to relax and experience different scenery in this world."

Hearing Lu Qiming's words.

Chen Qi nodded, and the tense expression on his face suddenly relaxed.

Lu Qiming is right.

To be honest, ever since he entered the trial in the Fire Dragon Valley, he has been in a state of high-intensity training and has not been able to relax properly.

There are only two days left until the end of this homeland trial.

He really should take a good look at the world before it all ends.

After all, who knows when we'll be able to come back next time?

Old Lu even brought a picnic mat, so let's have a picnic here on the crater, a rare treat.

"Everyone come out."

Chen Qi released all the spirits on his body at once.

Bang bang——!

Bang bang——!

Electric Dragon, Monini, Laplace, and Tanjiro appeared together at the crater.

Seeing this, Lu Qiming also released his lava snail and fire-breathing camel.

The atmosphere immediately became lively.

Chen Qi had Monini bring out the energy cubes he had made in advance and shared them with each of the elves.

"Ta~"

Charcoal Servant picked up a plate of energy cubes, quickly walked over to the little black dog who was dozing off, and placed the plate in front of it.

He then picked up a piece and fed it to the animal's mouth.

Little Blackie slightly opened one eye, glanced at Charcoal Servant, then at the energy cube it was feeding him, paused for a second, then leaned his head forward slightly and took a bite.

Then, he closed his eyes again.

He adopted a cold and aloof demeanor, as if he wanted to keep strangers away.

However, the corners of its mouth unconsciously curved into a slight smile.

Chapter 133 Major discovery!

"Your little black man is quite arrogant."

Lu Qiming glanced at the old man and saw the hidden emotions beneath his aloof exterior.

"It's not arrogant."

Chen Qi also glanced at Xiao Lao Hei, but did not agree with Lu Qiming's words.

During this period, Xiao Laohei got along fairly well with Chen Qi and the other elves, but that was all.

Apart from Charcoal Servant, it always maintained a certain distance from the other spirits while keeping polite interactions.

It should be said that it deliberately kept its distance.

They wanted to get closer, but also seemed a little hesitant.

This allowed Chen Qi to roughly guess that Xiao Lao Hei's childhood was probably not very happy.

Chen Qi even felt that Xiao Lao Hei was not much older than Tan Xiao Shi.

It's not just because of its small size, but also because of its psychological state, which doesn't seem like that of a mature Charizard at all.

It's more like premature development caused by an energy overload, resulting in evolution too early.

As a result, it missed out on a lot.

It neither dislikes nor rejects the approach of Charcoal Servant or other spirits; it simply doesn't know how to react or how to respond to others' approach.

It prefers to hide in the dark rather than be exposed to the sun.

That will make it feel safer.

Chen Qi could often sense the gaze that Xiao Lao Hei was casting at him, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

That gaze was directed at him, yet it wasn't just directed at him.

At the very beginning.

In order to find the 'Thief of the Night', Chen Qi successfully registered him using the [Lighthouse Badge], thus becoming a shining lighthouse in the eyes of the Fire-Breathing Dragon.

A guide in the darkness.

It is a light that attracts it at all times.

It was the existence of this light, the ever-burning lighthouse, that eternally shining light, that gave Charizard a strange sense of security.

Although Charizard has never explicitly stated it, its actions have been clear enough.

Yes.

Even though Little Black was right next to him.

Chen Qi did not remove it from the list of [Lighthouse Badges], but instead kept the Lighthouse Badge effect enabled for it.

So that they can see clearly anytime, anywhere, no matter how far apart they are, the light that shines brightly for them forever.

Now, with Charcoal Servant by its side, it must feel even warmer.

Chen Qi's lips also curved slightly upwards.

It's nice to relax occasionally and enjoy some cozy moments.

hiss--!

Suddenly, a strange sound rang in Chen Qi's ears.

"Ok?"

The upward arc that had just appeared vanished instantly, and Chen Qi tensed up immediately.

"what happened?"

"Did you find something?"

Lu Qiming, who had just taken a bite of his sandwich, looked up and saw Chen Qi's serious face.

"Did you hear anything?" Chen Qi asked Lu Qiming as he looked around.

"what sound?"
