Chapter 15: The Flames of Friendship: Charizard's Return!
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have arrived at Mount Moon, watched the Moonlight Dance, and the sign-in has started…"
Starting the third sign-in?
Ash's heart raced. He didn't expect that even a place like Mount Moon could trigger a sign-in. What would the reward be?
"Ding! Congratulations, host! Sign-in successful, rewards being issued!"
"50,000 Poke Coins!"
"Sun Stone ×1!"
"Moon Stone ×1!"
"Shiny Stone ×1!"
"Dusk Stone ×1!"
"Detected that the host has successfully signed in three times. Now, the system store function is being activated for the host!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! The system store function has been activated, and store packages are being randomly distributed…"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have received three experience triple crit cards ×3!"
In the upper left corner of the system store, there was an icon resembling a backpack.
With a thought, Ash opened the icon, and inside the backpack were three card-like items displaying "Triple Experience Crit!"
"Does this mean that by using a crit card during battles, I can receive triple battle experience?"
Such things exist?
Ash looked towards the system store in his mind. The products were dazzling, but the prices were somewhat ridiculous...
Items for Sale:
Everstone: 200,000 Poke Coins - Prevents Pokémon from evolving
Focus Lens: 400,000 Poke Coins - Increases chances of critical hits
Poké Balls:
Basic Poké Ball: 1,000 Poke Coins
Great Poké Ball: 5,000 Poke Coins
Special Poké Balls (e.g., Lure Ball, Quick Ball): 10,000 Poke Coins
There were also higher-value crit cards, including five times, six times, eight times, and even ten times experience crit cards! But the prices were truly speechless...
"It seems I need to find a way to make some money!" Ash muttered to himself.
After spending the night on Mount Moon, the four of them set off the next morning.
They passed through Mount Moon and arrived near Cerulean City, where the first Battle Frontier's Battle Leader was located!
Battle Factory
The Battle Leader was named Noland, a middle-aged man who loved mechanical research. He had a good friend, Articuno, and this would be the legendary battle for Charizard!
Ash naturally planned to let Charizard take part.
After resting at the Pokémon Center that night, Ash, along with Brock, Misty, and May, did not head directly to the Battle Factory the next morning. Ash mentioned that he had called for powerful reinforcements to counter Noland!
"Ash, I thought you wouldn't come. The number of challengers at the Battle Frontier is increasing, but no one has managed to pass the final test."
Scott arrived to greet Ash.
"Mr. Scott, let me be the first to dominate the Battle Frontier!" Ash was full of confidence!
Last night, he had already contacted Miss Liza from Charizard Valley and asked Charizard to join him.
Meanwhile, not far away, Team Rocket appeared. Ash had already detected their presence and was about to have Pikachu take action when suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the sky.
A dragon's roar echoed above the Pokémon Center.
Ash's attention was instantly drawn, and not far away, Team Rocket also noticed Charizard in the sky.
"What the meow, it's that kid's Charizard!"
"Really, we're going to get rich! If we capture that kid's Charizard and present it to the boss…"
Jessie had long coveted Charizard...
Quickly, the Team Rocket trio reached a unanimous decision.
At that moment, Charizard had already descended from the sky!
As soon as it landed, Team Rocket jumped out with their robot.
"It's you guys again, Team Rocket!"
Brock, Misty, and May's attention was immediately captured!
Team Rocket had started their usual entrance lines, but Charizard unleashed a powerful blast of flames!
Just as they began their first line, the robot exploded!
Leaving behind the line, "What an annoying feeling," they disappeared into the sky...
"Oh? Ash, it seems you really know a lot about Noland, even bringing such a strong Charizard!"
