Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 374 The Flame Emperor from the Past, Piercing the Void! (Seeking monthly votes)

After Mingyou was led out by the snowstorm horse, he found that the other party had stopped at the foot of the snow mountain and was waiting to lead the way back later, so it wasn't too heartless.

The frigid environment of the Crown Snowfield made Garchomp a little uncomfortable, so Ponpo, who was sitting on its back, had to take out its Fire Mask to warm everyone up.

"Mmm~"

"You're the most sensible one. But I forgot to ask where the ancient cemetery is when we came."

Mingyou sat on Garchomp and looked down. Fortunately, the weather was pretty good today and the visibility was high. All she had to do was find a place with lots of people.

At that moment, a purple beam of light shot into the sky, attracting his attention, and he looked over.

"A Dynamax beam? This is the first time I've ever seen one. Speaking of which, this is the Galar region. Does this mean I can use my Dynamax Grip anytime?"

He revealed his right wrist, but to his surprise, the Dynamax Band he was wearing did not light up. Perhaps due to the manufacturing process, his Dynamax Band seemed unable to absorb the Dynamax energy of this space-time to recharge. It seemed he would have to go down and look for a Wishing Star.

"Let's go check out the Dynamax beam over there; maybe we can find a Wishing Star."

"shark!"

Garchomp nodded, but just as it was about to go over, a burst of fire shot up from beside the purple pillar of light, and a wave of heat swept over it.

Feeling the power, Mingyou's face showed surprise. It must be the sound of battle. Such power, could it really be the Flame Emperor?

"Buzzing~"

At this moment, the burning insect poked its head out of the backpack, its face full of excitement, and kept waving its front legs, wanting to go over there, as if it wanted to see someone.

Noticing its mood, Mingyou raised an eyebrow and immediately sent Garchomp over...

On the snow-covered ground, where flames blazed and the snow melted rapidly under the intense heat, more than a dozen trainers and their Pokémon lay injured and unconscious on the ground. The crowd that arrived upon hearing the news was shocked to see this.

"Were they all defeated?"

"What kind of power is this? Clearly, it wiped them all out in an instant."

"So strong..."

"There seem to be professional trainers among them, yet they were all wiped out like cannon fodder."

The tourists stood around discussing the scene. Riko and Freed were also shocked by what they saw when they arrived. In addition to the people who had been defeated, there was also a wild Gigantamax Bronze Elephant that had been defeated as well.

Its enormous body fell to the ground, shrinking continuously in the explosion, while flames still raged on the grass exposed after the surrounding snow melted.

"Look over there!"

Riko has excellent observation skills. While everyone's attention was drawn to the defeated trainers, she immediately noticed an orange-red figure in front of the fallen Bronze Elephant.

It was a massive Pokémon with ring-like structures on its strong limbs, sharp red claws, red six-pointed star-shaped structures on its cheeks, a crown-like golden shield on its forehead, spike-like structures on its back, and a wisp of white smoke trailing from its tail…

Everyone around Rico heard her voice and looked over, but when they saw the figure standing next to the Great Bronze Elephant, their excitement gradually turned into doubt as they got a clearer picture.

"Is that... Emperor Yan?"

"Isn't it too big?"

"How could Emperor Yan be so fierce!"

"It's looking at us!"

The moment their eyes met those of the "Emperor Yan," a sense of panic inexplicably surged in everyone's hearts. Finally, some people couldn't hold on any longer and turned to flee.

Once one person escaped, the others followed suit, until only Riko and Fried remained.

"What should we do...?"

Riko hugged Shin-chan tightly, her cute face filled with panic. The "Emperor of Flames" was walking towards them step by step. What should they do? How scary!

Fried's expression was solemn. He took out his Poké Ball and was ready for battle. As a Pokémon professor, he was certain that this was definitely not Entei. Even though the other party had many characteristics of Entei, its temperament was completely different.

"Although I don't know what kind of Pokémon you are, please leave now..."

Just then, Fried was about to send out Charizard to search for it, but at that moment, Meiyu arrived on Garchomp and landed from the sky.

"Naryu!"

Seeing him appear, Riko finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he were also there, the three of them would definitely be able to drive away this "Emperor of Flames".

Mingyou got off Garchomp and Ponpo together, looking a little embarrassed, and said to them, "I'm a little late, sorry."

"As long as they come, that's enough."

Fried smiled. He knew that the other party was very strong. So, not only would driving away this "Emperor of Flames" be easy, but defeating it would also be a piece of cake.

Mingyou nodded slightly, then looked at the "Emperor Yan" walking towards her, her expression slightly taken aback.

[Flare: The Paradox Pokémon, with a rather volatile personality. It will fiercely repel any enemy that attacks it, but when facing the unarmed and weak, it will show another side, using the power of fire to protect them. To gain its favor, you must first gain its approval.]

"The Sky-Piercing Flame... the ancient Flame Emperor!?"

Upon hearing that Naruto recognized the Pokémon's identity, Riko was very surprised: "Ancient Entei? Isn't Entei a Pokémon that was resurrected by Ho-Oh after being accidentally burned to death more than a hundred years ago?"

"Who knows? After all, there are countless futures, and of course, there are countless pasts. Perhaps the Entei in a certain timeline was not resurrected from Ho-Oh, but evolved from Flareon after its bloodline was diluted over countless years."

Mingyou has a better understanding of this than they do. After all, he has seen so many Pokémon that have traveled through time and space, so he is used to it.

Upon hearing this, Fried understood that this Flareon was probably a Pokémon that had traveled from another dimension, just like Naruto and the others.

Furthermore, considering that they only appeared last night, and Mingyou also only arrived last night, it's possible that they both arrived in this time and space at the same time.

Mingyou nodded slightly and replied, "That's certainly possible. This Flareon isn't a Pokémon that can't talk. Those trainers were attacked because they wanted to catch Flareon. Perhaps we can wait until it calms down and learn something from it."

"Huh? How did you know?"

Like a curious child, Riko kept asking questions. Freed smiled calmly and explained, "Some skilled trainers have the ability to know a Pokémon's personality or habits just by observing it. It's like a talent."

"That's amazing!"

"..."

Mingyou didn't know how to respond. This really wasn't a talent, but she couldn't exactly say she had a cheat code, could she?

Pulling my thoughts back, what I need to deal with right now is this Sky-Piercing Flame. Although it is approaching, as long as they don't attack first, the Sky-Piercing Flame certainly won't retaliate; it will protect the weak.

"Hmm... Let's take the initiative, show weakness, and try to talk."

He offered his advice, but just then, the backpack suddenly felt lighter. Mingyou looked down and saw that the Burning Insect, which had been excited, had now crawled out of the backpack and was heading towards the Sky-Piercing Flame.

Does the Burning Bug recognize the Sky-Breaking Flame?

Mingyou suddenly had this thought in her mind, so she looked at Pokongyan. Although the other party's gaze was on the burning insect, there was no sense of familiarity in his eyes.

"Oh no..."

He reacted quickly and tried to stop the burning insects from getting close to the other side, but he was too late.

The previously calm Po Kong Yan became alert when he saw the Burning Insects rushing excitedly towards him, even though flames ignited around his body.

"Buzzing..."

The Burning Bug was startled by this scene, and immediately, Naruto shouted from behind, "Dragon Pulse!"

"shark!"

Garchomp gathered its dragon energy and fired forward. The moment it hit the Flame Shield, Naruto immediately rushed forward and grabbed the Burning Bug. But this also meant that a battle between the two sides was inevitable.

Fried reacted quickly, immediately shielding Riko behind him and sending Charizard to assist Garchomp.

"roar!"

Blaze roared, and flames spread instantly. The intense heat even burned Garchomp, which was several meters away. Charizard seized the opportunity to unleash its Flamethrower, but it had no effect on Blaze.

"Flare Blaze is a Fire/Dragon type, so Fire-type moves won't work. Use Dragon-type moves instead!"

After running out of the flames, Mingyou quickly reminded Fried that once Fried reacted, he could have Charizard attack with its claws.

Burning Insect was held in Mingyou's arms, looking at the rampaging Sky-Breaking Flame with a disappointed expression.

"Buzzing..."
