"Chim?"
'This?'
Chimchar let out a crimson shard from his mouth with some hesitation when he heard Natsu's words.
'My own toothpick jewelry? although I like it a lot, it seems that Natsu and Togetic also like it?' After thinking about it, Chimchar reached out and scattered it.
"Chi-"
'This is for you- '
Natsu saw the shard with Chimchar's saliva stuck to his palm, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
He pressed his forehead lightly.
"I don't want this from you, I just want to know where did you get it from?" Natsu explained.
Seeing the sharpness of these shards, wouldn't Chimchar's teeth be grinding them away little by little?
Wasn't that the shard powder he ate?
This.
Natsu felt compelled to review the Shiny Chimchar's innate talent and potential.
"Chim-"
Chimchar suddenly took the shard back and wiped it on his body, then tucked it back in his ear.
This fraction.
Chimchar liked it at first sight, but he didn't know why he liked it. He could only find an excuse to calm his mind, and it ended up becoming his toothpick.
But don't say, ever since he got this shard, he feels like his body is getting stronger every day and his use and mastery of fire is also getting stronger.
It was just that he thought that was what he trained so hard for, and only saw this part all the time.
How useful are toothpicks?
Hearing Natsu ask where these shards came from, he got up and pointed to somewhere in the tangled and complicated dungeon.
Chimchar thought for a moment, as if just pointing like that didn't tell Natsu where he was, so he took a few steps forward, moving towards Natsu gesturing with his hand, for Natsu to follow.
Just in time for a walk after dinner.
Seeing Chimchar's cue, to take them there.
Natsu thought for a moment and got rid of all the Pokemon except Togetic and the others.
Although it was now time to rest, compared to Groudon's Primal Carapace Fragment, there was no rush to rest.
Rest or something, there's time to die.
Chimchar moved towards Typhlosion and Cyndaquil then shouted.
Typhlosion just nodded.
She didn't mind after knowing that Natsu would follow. She had just seen Natsu's "library" and knew that Chimchar could be protected.
At the same time, this was an opportunity for Chimchar.
Let him feel what it's like to be with Natsu, which is definitely a better choice for him if he likes it.
But Cyndaquil was different, with a hint of curiosity in her little eyes, and wanted to follow Chimcar, but was stopped by Typhlosion.
Typhlosion knew that she couldn't give anything to Chimcar. Although she was reluctant to give up, it might be best if Chimcar followed someone else.
As for Cyndaquil, Typhlosion thought it was best to stay by her side, and she could teach her a lot.
Different practices and processing methods, but actually the choice Typhlosion makes is from a mother's point of view. She only hoped that the two childs could find what was most suitable for them and the most suitable for their growth and environment.
Just like that, Natsu followed the agile Chimchar, moving in a certain direction.
The spirited chimchar looks very agile, jumping around on the ground for a while, climbing a certain stone pillar, and stepping on a stone wall for a while, without stopping for a moment.
Without associating with Cyndaquil, Chimchar temporarily forgot the loneliness in his heart.
Perhaps this is one of the reasons why Typhlosion's mother made this choice.
Walk.
Natsu started asking about Chimchar.
For example, why did Chimchar stay with Typhlosions.
In Chimcar's words, he had been with Typhlosion's mother and Cyndaquil from the moment he was born. When he was younger, he thought Typhlosion was his parent, and he was a kind of Pokémon with Cyndaquil.
But as he grew older, he realized that it wasn't the same as them, he was a different Pokémon from Cyndaquil.
The wise Chimchar then reacted.
It was also from the moment he started to feel that some of the Cyndaquil were looking at him a little strangely. Except for Cyndaquil, the other Cyndaquil vaguely rejected him.
So say.
Growing up and making sense isn't necessarily a good thing.
Worries, stress, responsibilities, etc will follow.
As he spoke, Chimchar's mood must have gotten a little lost again.
Chimchar even thought about leaving after learning that he wasn't the same type of Pokémon as Cyndaquil and Typhlosion.
But he was a little reluctant to give up on that Cyndaquil, living in such a shameful environment until now.
The only thing that can be done is to keep himself from thinking about these distracting things with constant training.
And becoming stronger, becoming as strong as Typhlosion, even stronger than Typhlosion, had been his greatest goal.
After listening to Chimcar, Natsu's expression was a little sad.
He walked over to Chimchar, who was crouching on a rock, looking a little lost with his head down.
Pop——
He reached out and gripped it directly above his head.
Then rub it.
Chimchar was patted by Natsu, his head lowered, then he slowly raised his head and looked at Natsu suspiciously.
Strange to say.
It was Chimchar and Natsu's first day meeting, not to mention how happy they were, but in Cyndaquil's eyes, he was a bit withdrawn, but he didn't reject Natsu.
Maybe because Natsu's Pokémon has a lot of power to win over his heart.
Or see Natsu's Pokemon with different types but get along well.
Or the feeling of Natsu taking him seriously, making him useful.
"The place here is too small, why don't you want to go to the outside world to take a look?"
"Chim?"
'The outside world?'
Chimchar looks confused.
This was also the first time he had come across the phrase "out of the world".
It was as if someone had suddenly opened the New World's door to it, and a completely empty image scroll lay before him. There was obviously nothing on it, but it felt like there might be something on it. something seductive.
"Chim?"
'What's the outside world like? '
"Cha ke!"
When it comes to the outside world, Togetic's interest appears suddenly, and clearly tells him about the outside world.
Togetic: I'm familiar with this pattern.
Natsu didn't interrupt Togetic either.
While telling about the outside world, the "painting scroll" in Chimchar's mind also shows various colors, and outlines the colorful pictures little by little.
Full of Chimchar fantasies that he had never seen before.
Although it seems strange to Chimchar.
For example, the most delicious ice cream in various colors, a TV that can play various pictures and sounds, a car that can run on four wheels on the ground, and a large iron plane that can fly through the sky.
But the weirder it got, the more Chimchar thought, the more he really wanted to see it.
Togetic's mouth was dry by the time she finished speaking, but Chimchar's eyes became as bright as stars.
Togetic had seen such eyes in herself, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Chimchar, did you train yourself?"
"Chim?"
'Yes?'
Chimchar replied in a daze.
"If I tell you, your training will not work, you must find a more suitable training method to grow as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Chimchar lowered his head in despair.
Natsu said it, of course he knew.
But can not.
With Typhlosion, the training and combat methods of the two, were incompatible and different.
The Chimcar was only self-taught except for a bit of learning Fire-Type Energy from the Typhlosion experience.
If it has someone's brand on it, it's his own brand.
And Chimcar doesn't know how to make it the best and most correct way.
This is an exploratory process.
It's just that the exploration process may be very long.
It is much longer than imagined, and may even lose its best growing time.
"I can give you the most suitable training method, make you stronger as quickly as possible, take you to see the outside world, and provide you with the most effective and delicious food for you, Let you have a best partners. "
Natsu threw his olive branch at Chimchar for the first time.
"Chi—" Chimchar stared blankly at him.
Natsu patted his head with a smile, and said softly, "Don't be in a hurry, think about it."
Because this time.
They had reached where Chimchar found Primal Groudon's carapace fragment, and even if Chimchar didn't say it, Natsu felt it.
The heat wave striking the senses, the extremely dry air, were all signs of approaching Primal Groudon's carapace fragment.
Look up.
It was a large, crumbling boulder, arrayed from the stone walls all the way to the ground, forming a slope.
"This is where you found it, right?" asked Natsu.
Chimchar's response was a little slow and nodded.
He looked up and moved towards Natsu. He didn't look very stiff, but showed strong self-confidence.
The words Natsu had said to him kept replaying in his mind, what Togetic had described to him as the outside world was etched into his mind.
Yes.
He hesitated.
But there's no denying that Natsu's words give him a lot of traction.
Of course, what's most important is that he doesn't have any bad feelings or rejections towards Natsu and his four Pokémon, and even has a good impression of the talkative Togetic.
Natsu of course didn't know what Chimchar was thinking.
But what he could guarantee was that whatever choice Chimchar made in the end, the result would be the same.
Ask for opinion, a kind of respect for Chimchar.
Natsu put his feet on the covered stone.
From the markings on it, it wasn't hard to tell that these blocks must have been piling up for a long time without moving.
Chimchar shook his head, temporarily put the messy thoughts in his heart, climbed and jumped a few times, and easily came to the top of the slope, close to the stone wall above, pointing to an inconspicuous place .
It is found here.
Natsu followed him up the slope.
Kadabra's psychic had been scanned for a while just now. Obviously, the piece that Chimchar found should be the last piece here.
He couldn't go wrong when he got close.
Although it is not so strong, it is not as strong as the previous two parts, but this is a phenomenon that can only be caused by Primal Groudon's "Desolate Land".
Standing between the rocks, Natsu was lost in thought.
Rolls –
A small Stone rolled up and down under Togetic's throw.
The sound of hitting other stones in the path of falling stone blocks.
different.
Natsu looked at the place where the different voice came from.
"The sound here is muffled, so... the bottom is hollow?"
The odds are great!
So Natsu comes down from the pile of rocks with some Pokemon and opens a Poke Ball.
Roar--
A ferocious and domineering Tyrantrum appeared.
Tyrantrum wanted to cry. Recently, his title as the strongest mount on land had been robbed, and had even fewer opportunities to appear.
Finally, Tyrantrum had a place to use it, and he vented all the bitterness in his heart on the pile of stones in front of him.
Under Natsu's signal, Tyrantrum's tail swayed continuously.
Quick.
A glowing cave with dots of neon light appeared in Natsu's line of sight.
Of course.
Natsu's eyes flickered, he put away the Tyrantrum, and without hesitation, he picked up a few Pokemon and entered it.
The light inside was dimmer and different from the outside.
Outside because several stones of red light illuminate the entire dungeon, but in this tunnel, there are several small crystal shards, scattered on the inner walls of the cave.
Natsu took it in the palm of his hand.
It is very small, almost the size of half a fingernail.
The shape is also irregular, the whole is bright silver, emitting a faint silver-white halo, carrying a hint of light.
Yet these densely small tens of thousands within the cave lit up the entire cave.
"This is."
The Pokémon also gathered curiously. Chimchar was standing on a rock beside Natsu, and his small body was very good at climbing.
Natsu raised his head to look at Beedrill, just in time to meet Beedrill's gaze.
"Silver Powder?"
Beedrill nodded hesitantly, but shook him quickly.
Not Silver Powder.
Although similar, the Silver Powder particles were much smaller than this and did not feel attracted to them.
"This is not Silver Powder, then it must be Bright Powder."
Natsu has the answer.
Some Bug-Type Pokémon will carry Bright Powder on their bodies, which can emit a faint silver glow. It is also one of the attack methods of several Bug-Type Pokémon, of which the most famous is Venomoth.
So much Bright Powder in a cave like this?
Blowing Bright Powder from the palm, gently patting the hand, warned repeatedly: "Inside is not necessarily safe, just be careful."
He winked at Kadabra.
Kadabra understood, and Psychic lightly brought Chimchar to his side.
Carefully move inward.
As they went deeper, the feeling of heat and dryness became more and more evident.
Show that they are in the right direction.
"Chaa!"
Suddenly, Togetic flew to the ground and picked up a small shard of crimson.
Take the shard from Togetic.
Natsu frowned slightly.
"This is another small shard?"
There is a slight difference in shape.
With Primal Groudon's size, the two fragments he had obtained earlier were already relatively small.
And what he got this time, for Primal Groudon, was probably just a slightly horny body.
After Psychic wrapped it up, that hot and dry feeling didn't go away.
Also in it.
"Was Primal Groudon's carapace shard destroyed by a Pokémon, or was Primal Groudon injured?"
