The game comes to reality! Start by tyrannizing Professor Oak

He was eager to find a suitable opponent so that Tanjiro could experience firsthand the power he possessed.

However, while it's easy to find a powerful opponent in this Fire-Breathing Dragon Valley, it's quite difficult to find an equally matched opponent of a suitable level.

Moreover, the fire-breathing dragons in the Fire-Breathing Dragon Valley looked at Tan Xiaoshi with more affection than they would at their own children. Their doting expressions made Chen Qi strongly suspect that none of them could bring themselves to harm Tan Xiaoshi.

At that point, the first battle experience will probably turn into a one-sided target practice session for Tanjiro.

If that's the case, then wouldn't it be like finding a big rock specifically for Tanjiro to practice on?

Chen Qi's gaze swept across the valley.

Finally, the attention fell on Officer Jenny, who glanced at the Arcanine beside her.

"Don't even think about it!"

"If you use Electro Dragon, I might consider letting Arcanine fight you."

"If you want to use Samurai against Arcanine, even if I agree, Arcanine will never agree."

After spending so many days together, Miss Officer Jenny had already figured out Chen Qi's temperament. With just a glance from him, and before he even spoke, she could already understand his thoughts.

He refused directly and decisively.

"Wang Su—!"

Arcanine barked directly at Chen Qi.

Although he couldn't understand it, Chen Qi knew it was swearing rudely.

"I didn't say anything either."

Chen Qi shook his head helplessly, feeling wronged.

Unexpectedly, in this vast Charizard Valley, there wasn't a single suitable opponent for Charizard.

"In this Fire-Breathing Dragon Valley, I don't think you'll find an opponent willing to fight Tanjiro."

"They're all so eager to treat Charcoal Servant like a precious gem."

"How could I bear to fight it?"

Officer Jenny succinctly explained the current situation and then offered a feasible suggestion: "Perhaps you could try looking in the river outside; you'd be more likely to find an opponent willing to fight Tanjiro."

"Fine!"

Chen Qi had no choice but to accept reality.

Then he actually went to the river outside the valley to find an opponent for Tanjiro.

As luck would have it, he also carried a fishing rod with him.

However, with Laplace around, there's no need for a fishing rod; we can simply have Laplace go into the river and fish out an opponent for Tanjiro.

"Ta~"

Chen Qi hasn't taken any action yet.

Tan Xiaoshi immediately hugged his leg, tugging at his trouser leg and acting coquettishly, while pointing to the little black guy who was already poised to take Tan Xiaoshi out to play not far away.

See this.

Chen Qi couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

It seems I was indeed a bit too hasty. Tanjiro has only just been born; he should first experience the beauty of this world. He's learned so many moves in a row; he needs a balance between work and rest. He should have some fun.

"Go."

"Go and play."

Chen Qi nodded to Tan Xiaoshi, who immediately jumped up happily and hopped onto Xiao Lao Hei's back. Riding on it, they soared into the sky and began to circle freely in the air.

Little Blackie doesn't look very old, but he's quite reliable and extremely patient when it comes to taking care of kids. Especially when he's with Charcoal Servant, he completely lets down his guard, which is probably when he's most relaxed, carefree, and happy.

So, it looks like Little Black is playing with Charcoal Servant.

However, in some ways, it seems more like Tan Xiaoshi has pieced together a long-missing piece of his dragon life puzzle.

During the play, it was actually Xiao Lao Hei who received more emotional healing.

Seeing that Charcoal Servant and Charizard were both unusually happy, Chen Qi let them be.

"Let's go, Electric Dragon, Monini."

"Let's go outside the valley and take a look."

"Speaking of which, Laplace hasn't been in the water for a long time either."

"It's been working hard lately, it's time to let it get some exercise in the water."

Chen Qi greeted him.

He then led the electric dragon and the demon dragon out of the valley.

As the doors opened.

Chen Qi emerged from the valley after a long absence.

He took one step at a time, with the gait of a devil, and nimbly leaped to the riverbank.

Then he took out a Poké Ball.

"Come out, Laplace."

Bang-!

With a flash of light, Laplace appeared in the river.

The long-awaited touch of the water made Laplace let out an excited cry, and then he plunged headfirst into the water and began to swim freely.

You can see it.

Laplace had been stuck in the valley for a while, facing a group of fire-breathing dragons that spewed fire everywhere, which had really frustrated him.

Laplace, with its dual attributes of water and ice, is naturally incompatible with this Fire-Breathing Dragon Valley.

The scorching temperature in the valley alone made it uncomfortable.

That's why, apart from mealtimes and battle training time, Lapras basically stays in its Poké Ball and rarely ventures out on its own.

However, this is precisely the kind of environment that, relative to Laplace, can be considered harsh.

This has also greatly enhanced its strength.

It could be said that during this period, Laplace's growth rate was even faster than Monini's.

It's almost at the level of Monini.

"Hey—"

Laplace kept moving back and forth underwater.

Every now and then it would surface again, floating on the current, swimming back and forth quickly, creating ripples on the surface.

This did not deplete Laplace's energy excessively; on the contrary, it made Laplace feel completely comfortable.

It was an extremely exhilarating feeling of freedom.

Laplace ran wildly back and forth, covering a great distance in an instant, almost disappearing from Chen Qi's sight.

It darted back at lightning speed.

It then let out a series of melodious long cries towards Chen Qi.

Following his prompting gesture of twisting his neck.

Chen Qi couldn't help but look up at the distant sky.

Two tiny black dots were rapidly approaching his location.

"That is……"

"Lu Qiming and Ji Ke?!"

Chapter 122 Hehe? No, not hehe!

Just as Chen Qi saw the small black dot in the sky.

in the sky.

Lu Qiming, atop Charizard's back, also saw Chen Qi, who was blocked outside the valley gate, along with his three Pokémon.

"Chen Qi, so he really couldn't get into the valley?"

Seeing this, Lu Qiming couldn't help but feel guilty.

He had promised Chen Qi that he would give him a trial.

But once he entered the trial, he abandoned Chen Qi and went off to enjoy himself.

In the end, he got his wish and obtained three Poké Balls from Professor Oak, while Chen Qi was blocked outside the gate and couldn't even enter the valley.

How did he get through these past two weeks?

Living in the open air.

Just thinking about it made Lu Qiming feel a pang of self-reproach.

He should not have done so.

He should have told Miss Ji Ke then that he had a companion and that Chen Qi should have been brought along no matter what.

However, the situation was too urgent at the time, and before he could speak, he was interrupted by Miss Ji Ke.

As the Charizard sped away, the figure on the ground gradually became clearer.

Lu Qiming saw the excited expression on Chen Qi's face and waved to him in the sky.

That was Chen Qi's undisguised joy upon seeing him.

This rekindled Lu Qiming's previously low spirits, which stemmed from self-blame and guilt.

Yes!

This trial lasted an unusually long time.

But there's a full month to go. Although half of it has already passed, there's still another half month to go.

Now that he's back, he'll definitely take good care of Chen Qi in the remaining two weeks in this Fire-Breathing Dragon Valley, and he'll make sure he reaps some rewards.

Of course, there was also the decision he had made beforehand: he would give the last remaining Poké Ball to Chen Qi.

With this thought, Lu Qiming's mood suddenly brightened.

He excitedly waved and shouted at Chen Qi on the ground.

"Chen Qi, I'm back!"

"I'll definitely protect you during your time in the Fire Dragon Valley!"

Hearing his shout, Ji Ke and Xiao Lisa, who were not far from Lu Qiming, turned their heads to look at him, and then looked at each other.

Fine, it doesn't matter who protects whom, as long as the silly kid is happy.

……

above the ground.

Chen Qi also heard Lu Qiming's shout.

It doesn't matter who's protecting whom.

All he wanted was to have a good, satisfying fight with Lu Qiming.

It's estimated that only he would be willing to have a battle with Tanjiro.

In the entire Charizard Valley, only his Charizard is of a suitable level, making him the most suitable opponent for Charizard.

Chen Qi was not worried that Lu Qiming would refuse.

At worst, we can use the Poké Ball that Lu Qiming wants most as an exchange, and let him be Tan Xiaoshi's training partner for the next half month.

Of course, even if I don't work as a sparring partner.

Chen Qi felt that he should also fulfill Lu Qiming's small wish.

After all, he had gained so much from this trial in the Fire Dragon Valley.
