Pokemon Dawn

"Hoo, ho..."

The black-haired boy was running panting in the forest. The legs of his trousers were soaked in mud and the original color could not be seen.

"Hang on, Pikachu! I'll take you to the hospital right away!" The boy said anxiously, hugging the scarred yellow electric mouse tightly in his arms, and ran towards the Pokémon Center with all his strength, dragging his feet that were extremely heavy from exhaustion.

As a new trainer who just started traveling, Xiaozhi's luck was really not good. He accidentally angered a group of Spearow and even caused his Pokémon Pikachu to be seriously injured - although this was also related to the trainer's own recklessness.

.

Compared to Xiaozhi, who is the real protagonist, Xiaoye is much calmer. Although he also had a fight with a large group of wild Pokémon, at least no one was seriously injured; Charmander who wolfed down a few blue and orange fruits also

Having regained his strength, he vigorously shook the tip of his tail that was burning with flames.

After the golden retriever brother and sister left in a hurry, Xiaoye and Xiaotian also said goodbye to each other, each choosing a different direction of travel - originally Xiaoye and Xiaotian were on the same road temporarily just to complete the task of delivering Poké Balls, and they did not travel together.

Intend.

So, after saying goodbye as they should, Xiaoye returned to the single-person action mode she was most accustomed to. However, the difference from her previous life was that this time there was an orange little guy beside her.

Walking quietly in the forest, occasionally sparring with aggressive wild Pokémon; soon, the sound of gurgling water came to my ears along with the cool wind.

This river is called Qingshui River [Japanese: Qingshui River, shimizu_kawa, English: limpid_river], which runs through the forest between Shinshin Town and Joban City, and flows eastward into the sea.

Qingshui River is not too far from Zhenxin Town. Xiaoye and Charmander came here half a year ago. Hearing the sound of water, Charmander ran happily, pushing aside the dense grass and walked to the river bank.

Green grass, wild flowers, white rocks and clear water. For Xiaoye and Charmander, this is a familiar scene that they have seen many times.

Charmander looked back at his master, with an expression on his face full of eagerness to try.

Xiaoye, who was not surprised by Charmander's reaction, smiled and nodded, "Go ahead."

The little orange dragon nodded excitedly, ran to the shore and stood still. Taking a deep breath, a loud cry came from his throat, and his childish but energetic voice echoed on the river.

The cry, a very common transformation move, can be used to reduce the opponent's physical attack power. At this time, Charmander uses the cry here, of course, not to reduce anyone's attack power, but more like calling for something.

As if in response to Charmander's voice, the clear water began to roll. Bubbles emerged from the water and exploded.

Then, the water splashed. The huge blue creature broke through the water and let out a thunderous roar. Its smooth scales reflected little golden light in the sun.

[Gyarados is a vicious Pokémon. Once it becomes violent, it can burn everything to ashes, even in a violent storm.]

As early as half a year ago, Xiaoye and Xiaocharman discovered the existence of Gyarados in this river. Maybe the place where Xiaozhi met Xiaoxia in the animation was by the Qingshui River?

Facing the ferocious big guy in front of him, Charmander was completely unprepared and waved hello with a bright smile, "Ah woo hoo!"

Even Xiaoye had the same laid-back attitude, with a gentle smile on her face as always, "Long time no see, Gyarados."

Gyarados, who always seemed to have an angry face, was not angry at the two guys for disturbing his sleep, and responded with a casual flick of his tail - although it inevitably threw Xiaoye and Charmander into the water.

It was already half a year ago that I met this mysterious and friendly Gyarados. Not long after he was born, the little Charmander, who was very curious about everything in the outside world, came to the river for the first time and was playing happily.

By the way, I also practiced some basic moves that I am not very familiar with yet.

So, after making a disturbing cry at the river, he received the angry roar of the Gyarados who was awakened.

Charmander, who was still a child, was naturally no match for Gyarados, and was knocked off the street by a water cannon without any suspense. However, Gyarados also saw that this little guy was still a child and did not attack harshly. Therefore, Xiaoye also

He didn't interfere, picked up the reprimanded Charmander, apologized and left.

A week later, Gyarados, who was woken up by the same sound, once again poked his head out unhappily. Looking at the orange dragon who was eager to challenge you, the big water dragon revealed its half-moon eyes in embarrassment.

A little guy who was born less than a month old and whose attributes are restrained comes to challenge him? Is this a challenge or a beating?

Charmander's thoughts are very simple - he wants to fight with the strong, that's all. Gyarados, who is also a militant, can understand Charmander's mood. There is no point in sleeping all the time anyway, so he might as well accompany this little guy.

Have fun.

At first, Charmander, who was still weak in strength, was naturally beaten all over the floor by Gyarados, unable to fight back. Because Gyarados had always just had a playful attitude, it was not seriously injured. But as Charmander grew,

The battles between the two became more and more decent; after each battle, Saya would use wound medicine to treat the injuries of the two Pokémon, one large and one small.

Over time, Gyarados has become very familiar with Xiao Ye and Charmander, and has become accustomed to the noisy routine of being woken up by screams.

For Gyarados, Charmander's cry is not so much noise as it is a friend's call to him and a signal to start a war. Even if he is woken up, he will not be too angry - because there is a hearty battle.

Waiting for him on the shore. For the battle-mad Gyarados who feels uncomfortable without fighting for a day and is avoided by most Pokémon in the river because of his ferocious appearance, this is a good thing that comes to his door.

"Gyarados, please take care of me today." Xiaoye said the familiar lines with a smile, and as expected, received the roar of Gyarados with high fighting spirit in response.

Seeing that Charmander was looking as excited as usual, Xiaoye took a few steps back and gave up the space to the two dragons, one big and one small.

Today's Charmander is no longer the immature newborn of the past. Even under the powerful aura of Gyarados, which has intimidating characteristics, he is not afraid. In fact, a month ago, Charmander used his own power to surprise

The ground gave Gyarados a powerful blow, and the two sides were tied - Xiaoye still remembers the stunned expression on Gyarados's eyes as wide as copper bells after waking up.

From then on, Gyarados finally showed its full strength and officially recognized this short orange fire dragon as a powerful enemy. Although the little orange fire dragon with unfavorable attributes lost more and won less, it was undoubtedly better than the initial one-sided form.

It is an obvious leap in strength.

After three seconds of silence, a blazing orange flame became the signal for the battle to begin.

====================

small theater:

Charmander: Ooooooooooo——

Gyarados: (Angrily probes) Roar!! [It’s so noisy, little bastard!]

Charmander: (Excited) Ooooh! [Come to fight, come to fight!]

Gyarados: (reluctantly) [Okay, since you are so active, I’ll just tease you. I definitely don’t fight with you because I know you well, absolutely not! 】

Xiaoye: (nods) She is as arrogant as a textbook.
