Chapter 462 Not of the same kind after all.

...

The battle has ended.

Natsu looked at Typhlosion.

The power of this Typhlosion is not weak. Although it is also a Gym Leader level, her existence is also strong at the Gym Leader level. She shouldn't be far from being a quasi-Elite.

In an environment like this where Fire-Type energy was abundant, the possibility of breaking through to the quasi-Elite level was still there.

It's conceivable that wild Pokémon would want to achieve quasi-Elite power, far beyond the Pokémon cultivated by Trainers.

After all, wild Pokémon can't enjoy various types of resources like Pokéblocks, and if a wild Pokémon leaves some internal injuries after battle, it can't be completely healed.

Over time, it will become a barrier to the growth of wild Pokémon.

Among the Pokémon that Natsu encounters that have reached or surpassed the quasi-Elite level, such as Dragapult and Turtonator, all have grown up quietly in an environment with lots of energy and little struggle.

But like this dungeon bottom the Flame Valley.

There will definitely be a lot of struggle.

And this Typhlosion can still have such strength and the opportunity to reach the quasi-Elite level, it must be admitted that her innate talent is definitely not weak.

And Cyndaquil as a child of Typhlosion, if nothing else, the innate talent shouldn't be so bad.

However, this Chimchar mixes with Typhlosion and Cyndaquil, and it doesn't seem like the relationship is bad. It was hard to judge how his innate abilities and talents were.

Now all five Centiskorch are down.

As for Sizzlipede, apart from the one that fell, the others ran all over, and only Natsu with his four Pokémon and the Typhlosion family remained.

The atmosphere became a little more refined.

If there were only Cyndaquil and Chimchar, Natsu would probably try to subdue them, and after that the relationship would be easily muted.

But now that there was one more Typhlosion, if he wanted to subdue Cyndaquil and Chimchar, he would definitely be blocked by Typhlosion.

And the strength of this Typhlosion is not weak, it is estimated that the resistance strength will not be small.

If he defeated this Typhlosion and then subdued those two little fellows, then the rebel psychology of the two would not be small.

Chimchar, in particular, has shown a very strong and stubborn character before.

Natsu doesn't care what mentality a Pokémon has if it's just conquering as a resource.

But now that he's conquered Pokémon as his main strength, Natsu must consider Pokémon's mind and heart, otherwise, like a thorn inserted deep into the heart, even when the thorn is removed later, it will still leave a mark.

Natsu, who has caught four Pokémon and participated in so many battles, knows best what is most important to Trainers and Pokémon.

This is a tacit understanding.

This is Intimacy.

It's a mutual trust between a Pokémon and a Trainer.

Let the newly conquered Pokémon fight back and revolt against it early, which will definitely be unfavorable for training, growth, and later battles. It is estimated that it will take a lot of time to resolve this contradiction.

So he was a bit doubtful now, what to do to avoid this problem.

roar--

Typhlosion roars seeing that Natsu is not moving or doing anything unusual, the flames on her back slowly subside, moving towards Cyndaquil and Chimchar.

Typhlosion crouched on the ground and approached the two, then threw Chimchar on her back, picked up Cyndaquil again, moved in the direction it came from, and walked slowly.

Watching them leave, Natsu winked at Togetic and followed her.

He could figure out what to do, but he couldn't let this Pokémon out of his sight.

roar-

Sensing Natsu's footsteps following, Typhlosion turned and roared at him with warning in her eyes.

But she didn't launch an attack, and after shouting, she continued to move forward.

Natsu didn't stop at Typhlosion's warning.

Natsu would rather have brought them all here if he had left them out of sight for fear of making a bad impression on them.

But Typhlosion gave no more warning, as long as Natsu kept a safe distance from them, he followed.

Togetic got Natsu's signal, and immediately knew what to do.

Wave Teacher is back in action.

As a "socialite", with her cute appearance, harmless to humans and Pokémon, and the affinity for Pokémon like Togetic, she quickly builds a bridge of communication between Natsu and the Typhlosion family.

Having the behavior of saving Cyndaquil and Chimchar before, the tacit cooperation to face Centiskorch together, and friendly communication with Togetic now, Typhlosion's wariness of Natsu has dropped a lot.

Also allows Natsu to follow more closely.

On the way back to their lair with Typhlosion, they also meet many Pokémon that live in these dungeons.

But it looks like Typhlosion is still quite popular here and hasn't encountered any attacks yet.

This is not long after.

Typhlosion brought Chimchar and Cyndaquil back to where they lived.

Small nest with large and small caves.

And with the arrival of Typhlosion, from these Caves, one by one came out.

There's Cyndaquil, there's Quilava, and there's even another Typhlosion.

It seems that this is still the Typhlosion group, and this Typhlosion should be the Boss of this group.

The number of ethnic groups is not large, there are only about twenty Pokemon, but they all seem to get along well.

Natsu's arrival piqued their curiosity, but seeing that the Typhlosion Boss didn't say anything, they didn't show any hostility.

Typhlosion glanced at Natsu, who was standing outside the nest and didn't enter, and put Cyndaquil in her mouth and Chimchar on her back.

As soon as a Cyndaquil lands, she immediately plays with several other Cyndaquil.

But Chimchar seems a little out of tune with them.

He just walked sideways silently, facing Stone concave in the corner, constantly waving his small fists, the sound of fists and stones clashing resounded.

But Cyndaquil had not forgotten Chimchar.

Came to Chimchar and wanted to invite him into their game.

Cyndaquil didn't forget who rushed out despite the danger just now and saved her from the Centiskorch's mouth with one punch. Even though they were caught in the end, Cyndaquil was deeply moved by this courage.

Chimchar was moved when he heard Cyndaquil's invitation.

But turning around and seeing the faint resistance shown by the rest of Cyndaquil, he shook his head and gently pushed Cyndaquil to signal her to play, let it be.

Cyndaquil knew Chimchar's stubborn temper and wouldn't agree after finding out that she was refusing, so she had to go back and continue playing with some Cyndaquils with a bit of a frown, and play fast, the pout dissolved in happiness.

As for Chimchar, he squeezed his fist and stubbornly hit the rock again and again.

The smooth, concave stone depicts his work.

Not far away, Typhlosion who also saw this scene could only shake her head dizzy.

Incompatibility Chimchar, and the other Cyndaquils have something against Chimchar, a different Pokémon, and there's nothing she can do about it.

Not only Typhlosion but Natsu also witnessed Chimchar and Cyndaquil.

Typhlosion, as a Pokémon and an elder, might treat Cyndaquil and Chimchar the same, but Natsu, the human as a bystander, didn't see it more clearly.

Why Chimchar lived with this Typhlosion and Cyndaquil he didn't know.

The only thing he could feel was the kind of loneliness that Chimchar kept well.

While living with a group of different Pokemon, Chimchar feels lonely.

Just like Natsu in his previous life lived in society and was surrounded by peers, but he also felt lonely.

"It's not some kind of Pokémon, after all."
