Pokémon: Starting with a Bound Entry System

Chapter 499: The Challenge Rules of Charicific Valley

It was just that these Charizard all stayed peacefully in their own territory.

Even if they fought, it was only within Charicific Valley, and they wouldn't cause any major trouble.

Plus, there were no human settlements nearby.

Therefore, the M Region treated this secret realm as an S-rank event.

As he arrived riding his Charizard, Hikaru made a joke, "There are so many Charizard here. Any thoughts on finding a wife?"

"Roar, roar?" (Huh?)

Charizard was momentarily stunned by the question, then shook its head firmly.

A female dragon will only affect the intensity of my fire.

As a Charizard that aims to be the world's number one, how could I fall for the charms of a female?

Sakura, on her Dragonite nearby, didn't understand, but her Dragonite glanced at Charizard, then at Hikaru with surprise.

This glance made Hikaru feel an unstoppable sense of awkwardness.

He felt like his Charizard was subtly mocking him.

Although he had no proof.

"Big brother? What is Charizard saying?" Sakura asked with confusion.

Hikaru quickly said, "Nothing, nothing. We're almost there. Let's go down, Charizard. Don't let the Charizard inside think we're invading enemies."

"Roar."

A Dragonite and a Charizard, neither of them was weak.

Just by approaching the outskirts of Charicific Valley, dozens of Charizard opened their eyes.

Amidst the rolling heatwaves, some of these Charizard were soaking in hot springs, while others were sleeping.

The towering active volcano didn't erupt only because they had been controlling the Fire-type energy.

"Roar, roar?" (Looks like our Charicific Valley is getting a new member?)

A relatively small Charizard stood up from its sleep, full of interest.

Among the Charizard present, it was considered one of the weaker ones.

Now, if a weaker Charizard came, it wouldn't have to be at the bottom anymore.

Even if the opponent's strength was about the same as its, it would have a buddy at the bottom.

Perhaps because they hadn't seen a new partner for a long time, Charicific Valley suddenly became lively.

"Roar, roar!" (It even brought another Pokémon. Is that its mate? And it's a Dragonite...)

"Roar, roar~" (No way. Look, both of these Pokémon have trainers. They're probably here to visit, or to challenge?)

"Roar, roar!" (Challenge Charicific Valley! Great, great! The last human trainer who came to challenge didn't know his own limits and couldn't even beat Big Dumb Chun from the first level...)

"Roar, roar...." (I don't know why the boss set this rule. It attracts a group of human trainers to challenge every year...)

"Roar, roar..." (Are you an idiot? How could you possibly figure out the boss's intelligence?)

"Roar, roar." (Then can you figure it out?)

"Roar, roar..." (No.)

"Roar..." (Uh huh.)

...

"So this Charicific Valley has a challenge rule~"

After searching for information about Charicific Valley at the foot of the mountain, Hikaru became interested.

"Roar?" (What rule?)

Charizard stood to the side, asking curiously.

It knew that this trip was for its sake.

"It's said to be a challenge rule set by the Charizard in the valley themselves. Anyone can use a Fire-type treasure to challenge Charicific Valley. For every win, Charicific Valley will give a corresponding treasure as compensation."

"The value of this treasure is based on the Fire-type treasure you provide. If you beat one Charizard, your treasure is returned. Beat two, and you get back a treasure worth more than double. The third is four times... This model doesn't seem like something a Charizard could come up with."

Hikaru said, quite surprised.

This not only gave Charicific Valley a reputation in the human world but also gave the Charizard that stayed in the valley long-term a chance to train, so they wouldn't waste their strength by staying in the valley for too long.

Every year, quite a few trainers brought their Charizard here to challenge.

"Guess how many you can beat?" Hikaru patted Charizard's big belly.

This wasn't it being fat, but a sign that Charizard's belly needed to store energy.

Charizard held up one claw, thought for a moment, then held up another finger.

Meaning six.

"Should we count your toes too?"

The sight of Charizard holding up both its claws was quite comical, and Hikaru found it amusing.

"Roar, roar." (No need.)

The two chatted as they walked towards Charicific Valley. The ground was exposed rock, and there seemed to be a specially carved artificial path.

The temperature along the way also began to rise slowly.

"It's so hot. We just came from a snowy mountain to a plains area, hah..."

Sakura fanned her hand. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on her smooth forehead.

After arriving here, she had long since changed into a white, breathable short-sleeved shirt, but she still couldn't stand such high temperatures.

In this environment, the young girl's fragrance constantly wafted around Hikaru's nose.

"Hold my hand."

Hikaru suddenly remembered a skill he had obtained early on—[Child of Ice and Snow].

It basically meant he wasn't afraid of the cold in cold weather and not afraid of the heat in hot weather; warm in winter and cool in summer.

This skill had been equipped on him all this time, and he had forgotten about it.

"Huh?" Sakura was a bit confused, but she still took Hikaru's hand.

"Wow?"

The moment she took it, the young girl's eyes lit up.

At this moment, Hikaru was as cool as a block of ice. This aura was transmitted between them through their held hands. "Big brother, your body..."

"A little trick of the abilities I have."

Holding the girl's soft hand, Hikaru's heart only fluttered slightly before he had no other thoughts.

But Sakura was clearly not satisfied with this. Her eyes darted, her footsteps stopped, and she then positioned herself behind Hikaru. "No, how about you carry me, big brother~"

"..."

And Hikaru didn't even have a chance to speak before he subconsciously extended his hands and lifted her body up.

Sakura jumped directly onto his back...

Feeling the delicate touch in his hands and looking at her satisfied expression, Hikaru couldn't help but complain in his heart, "Strange, how come you're not shy now?"

"So cool."

Resting her hands on Hikaru's shoulders, Sakura couldn't help but say.

In summer, the most comfortable thing was having an ice-cold soda in the scorching heat.

But Sakura felt that being on Hikaru right now was pretty much the same.

"Your legs! Don't put your legs in front too!"

Feeling Sakura clinging to him like an octopus, Hikaru complained.

This girl had also wrapped her legs around his. How was he supposed to walk like this!

And she was wearing a small skirt...
