Chapter 84
Legend! The Supreme Fire-Breathing Dragon
Jiang Chuan had a sudden thought.
A pale blue system panel, visible only to him, appeared before his eyes.
[Task: Educate Da-you, the Abandoner (Completed)]
[Dayou has been arrested by the police and will face severe legal punishment. The abandoned little dragon has found a better home.]
[Quest Reward: Charmander Cleansing Potion x1 (already sent to system inventory)]
Jiang Chuan opened his system inventory.
In the grid, there was a new bottle of potion that shimmered with a pale red light, its surface radiating a warm glow.
[Charmander Cleansing Potion: Cleanses the mind and body of trauma, eliminates all past negative influences, and restores Charmander to its most perfect and pure initial state.]
nice one.
Jiang Chuan directly selected "Use".
The next second, the bottle of medicine appeared in his hand.
It feels warm to the touch.
Jiang Chuan threw out the Poké Ball he had just captured.
A flash of white light.
The little dragon landed steadily, looked up at Jiang Chuan, and the flames on its tail swayed merrily.
"Here, drink this."
Jiang Chuan squatted down, uncorked the bottle, and handed the medicine to the little fire dragon's mouth.
The little dragon twitched its nose.
It smelled a scent that instinctively made it feel comfortable, warm and pure, like the rising sun.
It completely trusted Jiang Chuan and, without the slightest hesitation, lowered its head and gulped down the entire bottle of medicine.
The moment the medicine went down.
A soft red halo suddenly shone on the little dragon's body!
It squinted its eyes comfortably, making soft purring sounds in its throat.
Those deep-seated, chilling memories—the cold of rainy nights, the loneliness on the rocks, the fear and inferiority brought by insults and beatings—melted away quickly, like ice and snow exposed to sunlight.
Instead, there is a warmth and relaxation that comes from the inside out.
It felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted.
The flames on its tail suddenly shot up a height with a "whoosh"!
The color deepened, the gold edges became more pronounced, and the heat wave caused the surrounding air to distort slightly.
The little dragon opened its eyes.
The way he looked at Jiang Chuan had completely changed.
Previously it was about trust and dependence.
And now...
It is unreserved, pure loyalty and affection.
It's as if Jiangchuan is its whole world.
"Alright, how are you feeling?" Jiang Chuan reached out and patted the little fire dragon's head.
"Wah~!" The little dragon rubbed affectionately against his palm, its tail wagging even more enthusiastically.
Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction, then his mind raced again.
The current panel of Charmander has been displayed.
[Pokémon: Charmander]
[Attribute: Fire]
[Level: lv8 (Beginner)]
[Potential: Champion Level]
[Ability: Blaze - When HP decreases, the power of Fire-type moves increases, up to a maximum increase of 50%!]
[Skills: Grab, Collision, Smoke Screen, Spark]
【Item Held: Premium Charcoal (Increases the power of Fire-type moves by 40%)】
[Special Buff: Cleansing Potion Effect (Permanent) - Eliminates all past traumas and negative effects, maintains perfect physical and mental condition, and slightly increases learning ability and growth rate]
Champion-level potential!
Blazing Fire ability!
This panel is absolutely gorgeous!
Jiang Chuan felt a surge of relief.
It was worth staying up all night to travel, as I made sure to arrive at the exact time to subdue him.
In the original script, the three Pokémon that could be caught on this path—Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander—were indeed top-tier.
Two SR cards and one SSR card.
This script is incredibly lucky.
Almost at the same time that Jiang Chuan finished looking at the panel.
The system beep sounded again.
【Ding! 】
[Hidden Achievement Quest: All Three Starter Families of Kanto Have Been Captured! Completed!]
[Task rewards are being distributed...]
[Sprite: Charmander, Level Up: lv8 → lv11!]
A flash of white light appeared on the little dragon's body and disappeared.
Its momentum has clearly increased significantly.
The tail flames burned even more fiercely.
[The exclusive Legendary Trial Space for the three starter families (one-time use) has been sent to your system space. Please check your inventory.]
The legendary trial space exclusive to the three starter families.
Jiang Chuan's eyes lit up.
The name itself sounds extraordinary.
He immediately found the newly appeared special icon that was flashing with colorful light in the system interface.
Click to open.
A detailed explanation came to mind.
[Legendary Trial Space for Starter Pokémon: A mysterious trial ground specially designed for those who own one of the starter Pokémon. Only one starter Pokémon can enter at a time. After the trial, the space will transform into a dedicated resting space for that Pokémon based on its final evolution form (it does not occupy a regular Pokémon slot) and has special recovery effects.]
Please select the Pokémon to participate in the Legendary Trial: (Bulbasaur/Squirtle/Charmander)
Choose one of the three.
Jiang Chuan stroked his chin, thinking quickly.
Squirtle has the potential to be Champion-level, while Bulbasaur and Charmander are both Champion-level.
In terms of upper limits, the latter two are higher.
However, Bulbasaur still has some hidden injuries that need to be treated. Although it has an Everstone and is in good condition, it is not in perfect condition.
The little dragon had just finished drinking the cleansing potion and was in excellent physical and mental condition, making it the best time of its life.
and……
Jiang Chuan thought about the follow-up plans.
After challenging the Viridian Gym and obtaining the green badge, there is a high chance of getting the Charizard Mega Stone X.
Once it successfully Mega Evolves, Charizard X will become a Fire/Dragon type, resulting in a significant leap in its power.
Taking all factors into account, the Charmander is undoubtedly the most valuable investment option at present.
"I've decided on you."
Jiang Chuan made a decision and chose the little fire dragon.
[Selected: Charmander.]
[The Legendary Trial Space is now open...]
A ripple suddenly spread across the void in front of Jiang Chuan.
A virtual panel made entirely of flickering flames floated before his eyes.
In the center of the panel, there is a groove whose shape perfectly matches the Poké Ball.
Please place the Poké Ball of the Pokémon (Charmander) participating in the trial here.
Jiang Chuan picked up the precious ball.
"Little Charmander, I'm going to send you to a special place for intensive training. Make the most of this opportunity."
"Wow!" The little dragon nodded vigorously, its eyes filled with determination.
A red light shot out, pulling the little dragon back into the ball.
Jiang Chuan pressed the Poké Ball into the groove on the flame panel.
hum!
The Poké Ball instantly blurred and disappeared.
The scene on the flame panel changes accordingly.
Three distinct scene options appeared, each radiating a chilling energy fluctuation.
[Lava Land: Endless fiery mountains and flowing rivers of lava. Tempering your fire abilities here will greatly enhance the inherent power of your fire-attribute moves. Upon completion of training, the power of your fire moves will be permanently increased, with a maximum increase of 50%.]
[Stormlands: The ever-flowing hurricane valleys and thunderous skies. Specialized flight and speed training here will significantly enhance your flight speed and aerial maneuverability. Upon completion of training, flight speed will be permanently increased, with a maximum increase of 50%.]
[Dragon's Breath Land: A tranquil valley where ancient dragon veins converge. Here, one can cultivate their mind and body, gaining pure experience through special meditation. A maximum of 1 hour of meditation can be performed daily, and the level increase gained through this method can reach up to lv60 (no combat participation required).]
[Note: All trials must be completed independently by the Pokémon; trainers cannot interfere. There is no time limit for the trials; completion is based on the Pokémon's actual performance. Once all trials have reached their maximum enhancement level, this space will be permanently transformed into a "Charizard-exclusive resting space." Charizard entering this space will enjoy double HP and energy recovery speed, and has a certain chance to learn Dragon-type moves.]
After reading the introduction, Jiang Chuan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
As expected of the "Legendary Trial"!
This effect is incredible!
The power of the flames can be increased by up to 50%!
Flight speed can be increased by up to 50%!
Keep in mind that even a rare item like premium charcoal only provides a 40% boost.
If Charmander... no, if the future Charizard were to pass these two trials completely...
That means it inherently possesses top-quality charcoal (40% boost) + the Fiery trait triggered (50% boost) + the Lava Land Trial completed (50% boost)...
Fire-type moves can have their maximum power increased by a terrifying 140%!
This doesn't even take into account the increase in base power brought about by leveling up.
At that moment, Charizard will unleash a burst of flame...
Jiang Chuan had already pictured it in his mind—in the future League Tournament, it might really be a matter of one move to kill, what else is there to say?
And speed.
Charizard's Speed stat is already quite high, making it one of the top non-legendary Pokémon.
If it increases by another 50%...
The scene was so beautiful.
Who will be able to tell the difference between Charizard and Dragonite in the future?
but……
Jiang Chuan looked at the [Storm Land] option, where the video showed howling winds, lightning, and thunder, with figures struggling through the hurricane.
"The little dragon can't fly yet... so we're throwing it into a place like this to give it special training in 'flight ability'?"
Jiang Chuan's lips twitched.
He could almost see the little dragon being blown around on the ground, looking completely bewildered.
"Forget it, let's not let the trust and bond we've just built up cause psychological trauma."
"This time I'm in charge of training them, so they can't cause any more of the rebellious and disobedient trouble that happened in the original script."
To be on the safe side.
Jiang Chuan first chose the seemingly most peaceful [Dragon's Breath Land].
The intention is chosen.
On the flame panel, the image of [Dragon's Breath Land] magnified, sucking in the phantom of Charmander's Poké Ball.
In the distance, one could vaguely see the figure of a little fire dragon appearing on a flat rock in a peaceful valley. It looked around curiously, and then, as if guided by something, obediently lay down and closed its eyes.
Wisps of pale golden energy gathered from all parts of the valley and slowly merged into its body.
Experience points begin to steadily increase.
"Let's gain some experience first and level up before we talk about anything else."
Jiang Chuan nodded in satisfaction.
I just exited the system interface.
A new notification tone then sounded in my ear.
