One in front and one behind, Firio was in a good mood, and the Heart-Scaled Treasure, who was striding ahead with his head held high, was even more proud. It had fought more than ten battles, from opponents with equal strength to opponents with obviously stronger energy accumulation than itself, and had never been defeated.

The little dinosaur, who had always been at the bottom of the team, felt a rare sense of comfort. For every warrior, a hearty battle and a fair victory are the happiest rewards.

It would be even better if you could use the pocket money you win to buy snacks.

"Jera~Jera?"

The excited Xinlinbao took steps without recognizing any relatives, humming a tune that took many twists and turns and led to no one knew where, wrapped in a thick cotton-padded jacket, swaying left and right in the northwest wind which was not that cold at all.

The out-of-tune singing was carried far away by the whistling wind.

Firion, who was used to hearing it, didn't think it was that outrageous. This might be the result of calluses on his ears.

However, he thinks so, but others, or... other Pokémon may not think so.

"Whoosh-"

Just when Xinlinbao was feeling smug and caught off guard, a golden ball of light rose quietly in the distant sky and turned into a meteorite heading straight for Xinlinbao.

"Jera? Jera!"

The sensitive Bodao instantly detected the "despicable sneak attack", and the powerful Xinlinbao glared, pushed off the ground with all four limbs, and leaped up without dodging.

"Bam—"

The sharp dragon claws tore through the incoming meteor shower in an instant, turning it into countless pieces of gravel and flying sand, which scattered all over the ground and were blown away by the wind.

However, this is far from the end.

The Heart Scale Treasure that shattered the meteorite arched its back as if facing a powerful enemy, and its fierce momentum pressed towards the distance.

"Jera!——"

The immature but powerful roar conveyed a dangerous signal.

Although it is still in its larval stage, the dragon's might as the top of the food chain is still enough to disperse most of the ignorant opponents.

However, the attacker in front of him was obviously not among them.

“Kuma!——”

Amidst the unyielding roar, the mound of earth in the distance shattered, and a round, fierce-looking little figure rushed over, with the same fighting spirit and the same extraordinary momentum.

Firion took a closer look and saw that the Pokémon that came was none other than Route 13's "specialty" Pokémon, a very strong Land Shark, its body covered in dust and various old and new scars. It had a strong aura and had accumulated energy of level 31, but for some reason it had not yet evolved.

The superpower subconsciously spread to the distance. Sure enough, in the valley hundreds of meters away, a sturdy Land Shark was hiding in the wind and sand, observing the situation here from afar. His muscles were tense, but he had no intention of rushing forward.

Seeing this, Firio didn't have any extra thoughts. He smiled as he watched the back of Heartscale who rushed forward on his own because he didn't get the battle order, and the Round Land Shark who looked like a restless kid leader, and waved to the Biting Land Shark in the distance.

The two little guys who are equally warlike and have similar strength can have an evenly matched contest - fighting entirely on instinct without any trainer's command.

"Bam—"

The equally hard iron heads collided with each other, and a "fierce battle" between the young dragons began.

......

......

"Jera!"

Face to face, the fierce dragon breath directly covered the entire body of the round land shark, roasting the blue-gray chubby body into a charred black.

"Kuma!"

The round land shark, which was suddenly hit hard, did not show any weakness. It opened its big mouth and bit the heart scale treasure's neck with its fangs flashing with electricity, shocking it so much that its whole body trembled.

But immediately afterwards, the waveguide turned into a sledgehammer and smashed the round land shark so hard that it grimaced and had to retreat.

Just as Xinlinbao took advantage of the situation to charge forward, a golden-red ball of light condensed in the mouth of the round land shark.

The meteor swarm, which was far more powerful than the previous demonstration, hit the Heart Scale Treasure head-on, giving it a heavy blow.

From the beginning of the battle, the two young dragons, who were equally proud of their strong physical fitness, did not dodge each other's attacks. Their fangs, claws, iron tails, and tremendous energy crisscrossed in the small space.

The physical instincts of the top predator were constantly stimulated by the opponent who was also a dragon. Although he was young, he showed extraordinary courage.

The domineering Land Shark refused to give in, while the soft-looking but strong-hearted Scalebeast pressed on step by step. Scars mixed with sweat and dust dyed the bodies of the two Pokémon red and black.

"Chaao!"

During the fierce battle, in the distant dust, the Land Shark could no longer bear it and appeared, roaring and encouraging its young.

"Boom"

"Enpe!"

On Firion's waist, the Poké Ball flashed white light, and King Nabob also revealed his true face, looking calmly at Garchomp from a distance.

The majestic momentum collided in the air, and it was difficult to tell which was better.

"Jera!"

"Kuma!"

With the support from their backers, the two dusty little guys became energetic at the same time, shouted loudly, and entangled with each other again.

Relying on its short but more flexible upper limbs, the round land shark took the initiative to move closer and swung its sharp claws.

In the previous battle, it relied on this size advantage to fight against the taller and stronger Heart Scale Treasure.

However, this time, it did not notice the cunning look of success in the other party's eyes.

Facing the charging round land shark, Xinlinbao remained calm. He moved sideways to meet it, used his sturdy scales to block it, and pounced with all his might.

"bang"

In the fierce muscle collision, the waveguide and body strength exploded at the same time, directly pressing the round land shark to the ground.

The heart-shaped scales on the top of the head glowed brightly, and the powerful head hammer smashed down instantly.

"Bam—"

The round land shark was caught off guard and suddenly saw stars. Its fleshy little claws waved back and forth in front of its body, but it couldn't catch its target.

On the contrary, Xinlinbao, who had freed his hands, could finally step on his opponent, looking down on him and taking the initiative in attack and defense.

The struggling Round Land Shark burst out with tremendous strength, but was unable to gain the upper hand over the Heart Scale Treasure who was giving it his all.

The exploding muscles triggered the most naked and direct wrestling, with dust flying and sweat splashing.

Holding down the struggling round land shark, Xinlinbao roared angrily, raised his front paws, and concentrated all his strength on the sharp edges.

The powerful spirit impacted the already shaky small obstacle, and the last layer of window paper was broken with one poke.

"call--"

The surging waveguide is like a burning blue flame.

Energy accumulation: 29 → 30

"Jera!"

With a loud roar, a cold light flashed, and the sharp claws chopped down from top to bottom.

"Swish"

“Ku…Kuma…”

The waving short forelimbs suddenly froze, and under the heavy blow, the already confused head turned into a ball of paste in an instant. The round land shark fell to the ground with its body limp. Its big black eyes turned into mosquito coils, and it staggered and lost consciousness.

"Jera!——"

With a light leap, he jumped back to the ground from the Round Land Shark. He looked at the Biting Land Shark in the distance and let out a long howl.

With the support of Emperor Nabo and the dream demons and wind fairies that rushed over, Heart Scale Treasure was full of confidence after the victory. Even if the opponent was a powerful quasi-god in his final form, he had no worries and acted arbitrarily, exercising the privileges of the winner.

......

......

A dragon soaring in the sky.

Five powerful Pokémon are waiting on the ground.

Every opponent seems to be no less powerful than himself.

Even Land Shark, who is aggressive and protective by nature, found the situation a little tricky at this moment.

Fortunately, the tense confrontation did not last too long. After treating the new and old wounds on the Round Land Shark, Firion wrapped it up like a dumpling and carried it to the trapped Biting Land Shark.

"Chaao...Chaao!"

After taking a deep look at Firion who was walking forward alone, the usually irritable Land Shark calmed down for a rare time, nodded slightly in greeting, took over the still sleeping baby, and disappeared into the distance in an instant.

"Boman!"

The Tyrannosaurus swooped down and landed right next to Firion.

"Do you think that round land shark is a bit like you at the beginning? He also got himself covered in wounds."

Firio patted the big head that came over and smiled.

"Boman? Boman!"

After pondering the meaning of Firion's words for a while, Tyrannosaurus immediately shook its head like a rattle.

"Okay, okay, if you say it doesn't look like it, then it doesn't look like it." Firion rubbed the hard bone armor on the top of the Tyrannosaurus lovingly without getting entangled. "Let's go back. This little guy, Heartscale, must be so proud that he doesn't know what to do now."

"Portman~"

Nodding with a smile, the Tyrannosaurus bit the big hat behind Firion, pulled it hard, pulled him onto his back, and flew into the air.

Even if it's only a few dozen meters, you have to fly for a while!

......

......

"Machi~"

"Qido!"

While Firion was being carried by Dragonite in circles in the sky, his companions on the ground were not idle either.

The Dream Demon and the Big Mouth Baby patted Heart Scale Baby's head on the left and right, making the heart-shaped scales crackle. It was unclear whether they were praising Heart Scale Baby or taking the opportunity to play with Heart Scale Baby's little head which felt very good. Maybe it was both.

Solebee and Regal Naboo smiled at each other and did not join in the fun. They just stood quietly aside, watching the finally grown-up Heartscale proudly accepting everyone's congratulations and encouragement.

"Elu~Elu~"

The one who looks the happiest should be the wind fairy who is running around and looking around.

The little sheep, who always loves to be lively and laughs, shouted and celebrated Xinlinbao's victory, and even performed a dance that had no rhythm but was very cute.

The soft body matched with the white cotton, dancing in the wind, does have some charm.

"Jera~Jera~"

"Ai~Lu~"

The Heart Scale Treasure, who had no artistic talent at all but loved to imitate, followed the Wind Fairy, imitating it and making the Dream Fairy and the others laugh uncontrollably.

However, according to the wind fairy's habit, whenever it feels that everything is going well, the moment of failure is not far away.

"Bah"

As soon as it was about to land, just as the Tyrannosaurus was circling and landing, it was twisting its little butt to run to greet it, but suddenly its feet went weak, and it stepped through a layer of loose soil and fell into a very hidden pit, sinking into it.

"Ai ai ai ai lu!"

With most of its body stuck in the pit and having eaten several mouthfuls of red soil, the wind fairy called for help with difficulty.

It vaguely felt a sharp pain on its buttocks, but it couldn't see or move, and its little face immediately wrinkled.

"Enpei..."

Such a contrast between joy and sorrow was even enough to make the usually steady and expressionless Emperor Nabo unable to hold back his laughter. He stepped forward with a smile, and clamped the exposed body of the wind fairy with his big wings. Together with Firion, who had hurriedly jumped off the dragon's back, he pulled it up like pulling a carrot.

"puff"

"Elu! Elu! Elu!"

The miserable little lamb was pulled out of the pit with brown-red mud all over its body. It was half ashamed and half depressed, waving its little hands around, looking for something that would hurt it.

After a long search, it finally found the irregular red gem fragment that had been "embedded" in its body with the help of Philio, and with a "pop", it dropped it to the ground.

"Elu!"
