Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Zhe was also unable to see the specific situation below.

Ji Ke saw his worry: "Don't worry, with that fire-breathing dragon around, there won't be any problems."

The other party just can't take it out, it's not like they can't survive in a volcano.

In reality, although Charizard can't live freely in lava like Magma, at its level, swimming in lava is not impossible.

Sure enough, the two elves returned safely not long after.

Kirlia carefully used her telekinesis to gently place the volcanic rock that was floating beside her onto the ground.

In just a moment, charred marks appeared on the ground around it.

"It's so hot!" Tetsuya shrank back. "Thank you for your hard work. Come back, Kirlia."

He looked at the volcano-suppressing stone with a longing expression.

This thing is very useful for Fire-type Pokémon, especially Blaziken.

After all, the nature of explosive flames is remarkably similar to that of a volcanic eruption, so it's entirely possible that Blaziken could glean some insights from it and quickly break through to the Elite Four.

But the owner of this place is right in front of us.

This volcanic rock is also effective against Charizard.

Zhe didn't think he could snatch the Volcanic Stone from a Champion-level Charizard.

This is absolutely a suicidal act.

"Roar"

At this moment, the Charizard leader came to Tetsuya's side and pointed at his spatial backpack with its claws.

Tetsuya was puzzled for a moment, then quickly realized what was going on.

That was the only thing in his backpack that could attract the attention of the Charizard leader.

"This?" Tetsuya took out the Rainbow Feather and placed it in front of the Charizard leader.

He wasn't worried about the other party forcibly taking it from him.

For Pokémon, the rainbow feather is more of a symbol, indicating that the holder is Ho-Oh's representative, rather than possessing much power.

Blaziken spent a long time trying to sense things but came to this conclusion without any results.

"Roar"

The Charizard leader didn't accept the offer, but instead looked at the Rainbow Feather and growled.

For some reason, Tetsuya seemed to detect a hint of nostalgia in his voice.

Chapter 398 Resolution and Departure

Blaziken promptly fulfilled its role as translator: "It said that it had also encountered Ho-Oh before, and that it is because of Ho-Oh that it is so strong now."

"As expected, Ho-Oh is a veteran photographer," Tetsuya remarked.

As the mythical beast that has actually appeared most frequently in the eyes of humans, Ho-Oh has been to countless places.

Unlike other mythical beasts that like to stay in their lair for decades or even centuries without making a sound, Ho-Oh, a first-level deity, is unusually active.

This is evident from the fact that different legends about it circulate in all regions and cities of the capital.

That is why there are far more people chasing after Ho-Oh than chasing after other legendary Pokémon.

Even so, the number of people or elves who possess the Rainbow Feather can still be counted on one hand.

According to legend, Ho-Oh will only give its rainbow feathers to honest people.

Tetsuya thought it was quite insightful.

"Roar"

After the Charizard leader growled a few times at Tetsuya, it turned around and strode over to the side of the volcano stone.

"It said that the volcanic stone is also very useful for enhancing its strength, so it can't give us all of it, but it can help us separate a portion."

Blaziken's mood involuntarily lifted a little.

Tetsuya looked at the Charizard leader with curiosity, wondering how it managed to separate the volcanic rocks.

These rocks, formed deep within volcanoes, possess not only immense fire-based energy but also an astonishing level of hardness due to the high pressure they endure.

After all, Heatran is a legendary Pokémon that combines fire and steel.

The Charizard leader, without changing his expression, grabbed the volcanic rock and then swooped down into the crater with a flap of his wings.

"thump"

The sound of something entering the water could be heard.

Tetsuya subconsciously took a few steps forward and glanced at the scene.

The figure of the Charizard leader had already disappeared into the lava.

Tetsuya certainly didn't think that the other party had run away with the items; he assumed they had gone inside the magma to fulfill their promise.

However, the visual impact is simply too exaggerated.

It's said that the Charizard leader is strong enough to do this, but at first glance it's still a bit dizzying.

After all, the internal temperature of magma formed from volcanic rocks is at least thousands of degrees Celsius.

Generally speaking, human bones only need to be burned to ashes at 900 degrees Celsius.

In such a situation, if a human were to unfortunately fall into the lava, the outcome would truly be annihilation.

Only powerful elves would not take this seriously.

Not long after, the leader Charizard, covered in white lava flow, came up without any apparent abnormality.

It held two volcanic rocks, one large and one small, in its claws.

Tetsuya roughly estimated that the smaller piece was about a quarter of the original, which would be enough for Blaziken to use for a long time.

But seeing the Charizard leader's current state, Tetsuya didn't dare to go forward and take it.

Even from dozens of meters away, he could feel the scorching heat and smell of the air emanating from the other person.

"Blazing Chicken, it's all yours now."

Tetsuya waved his hand and handed over this important task to his old partner.

Anyway, it's not for him to use, so whoever wants it can take it.

He had no desire to push the limits of life.

Blaziken nodded and strode forward; it had been itching to get going for a while.

As a near-Elite Four level Fire-type Pokémon, the temperature on Charizard's body was only slightly unbearable for it; it wouldn't cause it any serious injury like a human.

The Charizard leader nodded slightly to it, then handed the smaller volcanic rock to Blaziken.

Blaziken took it with its claws, feeling the intense fire energy emanating from it, its face filled with joy.

"Then we won't bother you any longer. See you next time."

With the item in hand and the problem solved, Tetsuya bid farewell to the Charizard leader.

Of course, the main reason was that he was about to give up.

Ji Ke, standing to the side, also expressed his agreement.

According to instrumental analysis, as the volcanic rock was removed, the temperature and activity of the magma were gradually decreasing.

Before long, the volcanic eruption she feared would become a thing of the past.

The two people and the Pokémon walked back, with Blaziken constantly playing with the small Volcanic Stone.

Tetsuya just tested it out, and this thing can be considered a unique Pokémon item, which is why it can be put into Blaziken's Poké Ball.

"It's still early, why don't you stay for lunch? I'll cook it myself as a way of thanking you." Ji Ke led the way, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.

Tetsuya readily agreed.

Although he solved the problem quickly, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon, and his stomach was growling with hunger.

Not to mention the Blaziken and the other Pokémon, which consume a lot of energy.

The advantage of the Fire-Breathing Dragon Valley is that it is safe enough, so he doesn't need to deliberately look for a campsite in the wild.

Upon arriving at the outermost small house, Ji Ke, as she had predicted, displayed her skills.

As a manager who has lived alone in the Fire Dragon Valley for five or six years, her skills are no less than Tetsuya's.

After all, there are so many Charizards in Charizard Valley, and each one has a very different taste.

In order to get along well with them, Ji Ke put a lot of thought and effort into the selection of elf food.

Blaziken is the one that enjoys the most comfort, because it is the one that exerts the most effort, and the taste of the fire-type food that Charizard originally eats also suits Blaziken's palate.

Although my eldest son cooks very well, it's always nice to have something different to eat from time to time.

Looking at Tetsuya's companions, Ji Ke couldn't help but feel envious: "Wow, the little ice Vulpix is ​​just too cute!"

She picked up the Ice Six-Tails and rubbed it against her face repeatedly.

The soft fur provides an exceptionally comfortable experience.

The Ice Vulpix looked utterly dejected.

However, considering the delicious food that the other party had specially prepared for it, the Ice Vulpix felt it could accept it.

"Togekiss is so awesome! It's white and soft, just like Snorlax!"

After putting down the Ice Vulpix, Ji Ke leaned against Togekiss's body and began to sigh.

"Roar"

Lisa shoved Tokis aside with her bottom and patted herself off.

It's also very comfortable.

Ji Ke beamed with joy.

Togekiss, engrossed in its meal, glanced at Charizard and thought, "Fine, I won't bother with you."

"Just right"

Its little paws pressed directly onto a green vine.

The Serperior, who was trying to sneak a bite to eat, sighed helplessly. Couldn't this Charizard have stalled a little longer? It's so useless.

Thinking this, it retrieved another vine from the electric dragon's food bowl, with a yellow energy cube still attached to the end.

He tossed it into his mouth.

"Chirp—"

It felt so numb, but so pleasurable. The Serpent Lord involuntarily narrowed its eyes.

Zhe walked up to it and patted its head in annoyance.

I don't know how many times I've told this guy not to eat energy cubes that don't match his attributes, but he just won't listen.

Next time, I'll just make it a super spicy cube with spiciness cherry blossoms, and see if it still tries to steal some.

Tetsuya stroked Serpent Lord while thinking "fiercely".

Ji Ke, standing to the side, was still captivated by Tetsuya's many companions.

Having lived in the Fire Dragon Valley her entire life, she rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with all sorts of elves.

In a sense, she's quite pitiful too.

"Don't you get bored?" Tetsuya asked her curiously.

Ji Ke looked at him in surprise, then thought for a moment and said, "Sometimes, but these kids often cause trouble to keep me busy, so most of the time I have plenty of time."

And Lisa has been with me the whole time.

She patted her friend's stomach with a smile.

Tetsuya could tell that the other person was genuinely enjoying life here.

Although she appears to be very outgoing and lively, Ji Ke is a quiet person at heart.
