Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

If you rush out at this point, it's uncertain whether you'll even find the other person.

It could also put you in danger.

Thinking of this, Haoyan could only remain silently on guard.

... ...

Just as Hao Yan had expected, a Pokémon was silently watching Hao Yan's tent from a distance.

However, this Pokémon is completely different in color from its companions.

Its entire body was golden.

However, this golden Pokémon was thin and frail, so thin that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it skin and bones, and it was also noticeably shorter than its kind.

His gaze wasn't fixed on the wary Hao Yan, but rather on a small energy cube that Hao Yan had forgotten to tidy up and had carelessly left lying around the campfire.

Judging from the appearance of this Pokémon, it seems to really want to get a small piece of Energy Cube, but it doesn't dare to approach the unfamiliar Hao Yan.

... ...

Chapter 52 The Shiny Charmander?

The next day, the sun began to rise, slowly dispelling the darkness in the forest.

Hao Yan, who had been on guard all night, could vaguely see a golden figure hidden in the distance as the sun rose.

Although it was too far away to see clearly what kind of Pokémon it was.

Haoyan wanted to get up and observe what kind of Pokémon had been 'standing up' with him all night.

But the moment it moved, it immediately scared away the golden Pokémon.

Although he couldn't see what kind of Pokémon the other party was, Hao Yan was certain of one thing: the other party wasn't after him, but after the Energy Cube that he had casually placed aside.

Energy cubes are a high-energy food made by pressing large amounts of tree fruits using a specialized machine.

Many Pokémon are quite large, especially Rock and Steel-type Pokémon. Even if they don't move all day, they will still expend a lot of energy.

Without energy cubes, it's impossible to sustain a day's worth of energy.

To be honest, Haoyan was quite curious about this Pokémon.

After spending the entire night with him, even the usually strong and healthy Haoyan was starting to feel the strain.

They are persistent and persevering!

This is Haoyan's evaluation of that Pokémon.

... ...

"Luca~"

"Sargas~" The two Pokémon, having rested all night, also got up.

Haoyan began preparing breakfast for the day.

Of the three meals a day, breakfast is the most important. You should never eat breakfast carelessly or skip it.

If you skip breakfast, you'll feel listless all morning.

To achieve a strong body, it's 70% diet and 30% exercise.

Haoyan never skimps on breakfast every morning.

They brought out a large tank of high-quality farm-raised milk, high-protein milk, and a salad made from a few tree fruits.

There are also some ready-to-eat canned meats.

A hearty breakfast is ready.

In order to lure the golden Pokémon out, Haoyan deliberately placed a large Energy Cube in a distant, open area, enough to feed Lucario for three days.

Let's see if he comes back.

After breakfast, Haoyan took Lucario to warm up.

When you first wake up, some cells in your body are still dormant. Maintaining a certain amount of warm-up can quickly awaken these dormant cells.

After all, this is deep within the Viridian Forest, where battles could break out at any moment.

Gardevoir didn't need to warm up; she sat obediently to the side and began practicing the meditation technique that Hao Yan had taught her.

After finishing his warm-up, Haoyan didn't rush to leave and waited quietly.

"They've arrived!" Hao Yan sensed through Gardevoir's perception that a golden figure was cautiously approaching in the forest.

"Xiao Ou, Xiao Lu, don't disturb him. Just pretend you didn't notice him."

Hao Yan's lips curled up slightly. A small energy cube was enough to keep the other party on guard all night. Now that it's so big, it's sure to attract the other party.

I want to wait until the other person gets closer before I see what Pokémon he has on the ground!

The closer the golden figure got, the slower it moved and the more cautious it became.

It constantly used the weeds and leaves in the forest to cover itself.

"Quite cautious, huh?" Hao Yan deliberately turned his back to him, but little did he know that Hao Yan was getting closer.

The golden Pokémon was getting closer and closer to the energy cube.

Finally, he could no longer hold back. With a whoosh, he stopped concealing himself and rushed towards the energy cube.

Then he picked it up with both hands, immediately turned around and ran.

The moment that Pokémon moved, Haoyan turned around as well.

He saw that golden Pokémon clearly!

His pupils dilated violently, and his heart raced!

That Pokémon has a tail!

His tail was flaming with crimson flames!

It was Charmander, the Pokémon that Haoyan wanted to catch during his trip to the Kanto region!

Moreover, this little Charmander is a one-in-a-million Shiny Charmander!

... ...

Chapter 53 Clan, Rejection

Shiny Pokémon are so rare that it's one in a million!

Scarcity increases value, and this holds true in any world.

Even a regular shiny caterpillar or shiny weevil would fetch an astronomical price on the market!

Not to mention it's a shiny little fire dragon~

Unlike the rest of the species, this little fire dragon has golden skin all over its body!

Its scarcity is even more remarkable!

It is said that Shiny Pokémon, in addition to being rare, also possess greater strength than their counterparts!

However, this is just a rumor circulating among the public.

No one has actually tested it.

After all, meeting someone is an extremely rare thing.

"Little Lu, come up here!" Hao Yan, having recognized the shiny Charmander, scooped up Gardevoir, carried her on his back, and charged ahead.

"Xiao Ou, keep up!"

Without even having time to pack their luggage, they rushed towards the spot where the little dragon had just left.

Hao Yan carried Gardevoir on his back, with Lucario following beside him, and they ran quickly through the forest.

"Xiao Lu, use your superpower to sense his location, but be careful not to disturb him."

Haoyan, running through the forest, spoke to the Gardevoir on his back.

"Hmm!" Gardevoir understood Hao Yan's anxiety and silently activated her psychic powers to survey the surroundings.

Although the golden Charmander ran ahead, Hao Yan, guided by Gardevoir, quickly caught up with it.

However, Haoyan did not rush after them.

He didn't want to frighten the little golden dragon by chasing too hastily.

In places like the Evergreen Forest, which is unfamiliar to Hirohiko, it's easy to get lost.

It maintained a steady pace, following the golden fire dragon.

The golden fire dragon, perhaps overjoyed at acquiring a large energy cube, let its guard down.

In addition, Haoyan and Lucario controlled the distance very well.

He was unaware that someone was following him.

We walked and stopped frequently, resting on the ground when we got tired.

After resting, we continued deeper into the Viridian Forest.

Haoyan hid in the trunk of a big tree, cautiously sticking his head out to stare at the resting little fire dragon, his mind filled with doubt: "This little fire dragon is clearly very hungry and wants to eat this energy cube, but why won't he eat it?"

Through observation, Haoyan clearly saw that the golden fire dragon was obviously thin and looked malnourished.

While running, he frequently inhaled the aroma emanating from the energy cubes.

But he wouldn't eat the energy cubes, and carefully held them in his hands the whole time.

Before Hao Yan could think it through, the little dragon had rested enough and once again took off on its short legs, continuing to run deeper into the Viridian Forest.

Haoyan had no choice but to continue following in his footsteps.

I don't know how long I followed them, but finally it was no longer a forest.

Before Haoyan appeared a large meadow with a towering tree on it, laden with dragonfire fruits. It was a huge dragonfire fruit tree.

The golden fire dragon had also arrived at its destination.
