Chapter 508: Capturing the Female Dragon
"Charizard seems to like her a little too. That's just how it is."
Hikaru shrugged. Looking at the strange expression on the girl's face behind him, he felt a little helpless.
That was the truth.
"Want to leave a seed?" Hikaru shouted. Sakura, behind him, subconsciously moved a little further away.
Those words were too direct; she was still an innocent young maiden.
And besides, she was all sweaty and sticky and didn't want to be too close to Hikaru.
"Roar..."
Charizard (Hikaru's) still didn't quite know what to do.
If I leave a seed and then just leave her here, would that be a bit too scummy...
Hikaru quickly realized this point as well and frowned.
Even if this female dragon thought it was no problem, Hikaru wouldn't let such a thing happen.
It seemed the only option was to sever this ill-fated connection that had started from a fight.
"How about I catch this Charizard?"
Sakura suddenly said with great interest.
Hikaru's eyes lit up.
Charizard is also a Dragon-type and knows some Dragon-type moves.
As a Master-level trainer, she had long since earned the quota to capture a seventh Pokémon.
This female dragon was Champion-level. If she could be captured and the two got along well, would Sakura instantly be promoted to a Champion-level trainer?
Hikaru jumped off Latias and tentatively explained his idea to the female Charizard using his Aura Force.
The general meaning was, "Are you willing to travel with us?"
Hikaru had blurred the lines and included Sakura in "us."
Actually, the difference wasn't that big.
His and Sakura's Pokémon were all familiar with each other.
But this way, it might allow this female dragon to adapt a little better.
After all, she was attracted by his Charizard's good looks plus a good beating.
Looked at this way, in the aesthetic sense of Charizards, Hikaru's Charizard was probably a real looker.
"Roar?"
A glint flashed in the eyes of Charizard (Hikaru's). When it turned to the female dragon, its expression became extremely formal again. "Roar!" (Come with my big brother... no, come with my trainer! You'll eat well and be able to unlock the form of Mega Evolution!)
"Roar?"
The female dragon looked behind her with some confusion.
Sakura also jumped off Latias.
This was for her to catch a Pokémon; of course, she should be more proactive.
And at first glance, she understood this female dragon's concerns.
Clearly, the female dragon, having grown up in Charicific Valley, was a little reluctant to leave this place.
But because of Charizard (Hikaru's), she was very conflicted.
"Don't worry. If you want to come back in the future, we will bring you back."
"...Roar..."
The female dragon looked at Charizard (Hikaru's) and finally nodded shyly.
...
A Charizard leaving Charicific Valley was not a big deal for the entire valley.
Every year, new Charizard would arrive, and new Charizard would also leave.
Very few Charizard were willing to settle down here.
However, the Charizard who had been to Charicific Valley all knew that in this place, there were many of their own kind...
And the departure of the female dragon was no exception.
The only thing slightly special was that this Charizard was one that had lived here since she was little, picked up from the outside by the two older Charizard and raised.
This was information Hikaru had obtained from the discussions of other Charizard using his Aura Force.
So, her departure made the two old Charizard a little sad.
But they also knew that by always staying in Charicific Valley, there was a limit to how much the female dragon's strength could increase.
To take another step up, following this human might be a chance.
After learning this, Hikaru left behind a large amount of stamina Pokéblocks, almost giving all the stamina Pokéblocks he had with him to these two old Charizard.
Was this considered a dowry for his Charizard?
This way, the female dragon could also follow him with more peace of mind. No, follow his Charizard...
That didn't seem right either....
"Unbelievable...."
Looking at the female dragon being captured into a Poké Ball by Sakura, Hikaru felt that the world was vast and full of wonders.
Since when did capturing a Pokémon require selling out his own Pokémon's "good looks"...
On Latias's back, Sakura held up the Charizard's Poké Ball and cheered, "Hehe, I caught a Charizard!"
"We still have to see how you get along with it. This is a Champion-level Charizard!"
"Alright then, where are we going next, big brother? I want to find a place to take a bath."
Hikaru thought for a moment and said, "It feels like we're always busy. Let's just find a place to rest for two days..."
"Okay!"
...
April 7th.
Night.
Near Charicific Valley was a relatively remote state in the M Region.
Located in the north of the M Region, there weren't many powerful trainers.
Hikaru found a hotel in a nearby small city and, after showing his competitor's certificate, successfully got a free stay.
After a series of checks on the hotel and finding no problems, Hikaru summoned the Rotom that had been following him.
The battle with the Charizard was not considered a competition match, so the Rotom wouldn't trigger the screen recording and live broadcast effect.
"Rotom~ Rotom at your service~"
The blue phone Rotom flew over happily.
Following Hikaru around was truly the best job in this lifetime.
The Pokéblocks it ate every day made it sing praises, especially the Electric-type Pokéblocks made after Hikaru had obtained some lightning crystals from Lightning Valley.
"Rotom, help me check on the matter of the Dynamaxed Pokémon."
He had been busy these past two days, so he hadn't paid much attention to the news about Dynamax.
On the other hand, he wanted to wait for things to settle down a bit, for all the information to be compiled, and then look at it all at once.
"Okay, searching now, Roto~"
Light flickered on Rotom's body, and soon, one news article after another appeared in front of Hikaru in the form of a projection.
He swiped through them one by one.
They were all about some Pokémon suddenly Dynamaxing, then having a drastic change in temperament, as if wanting to devour all the Pokémon nearby.
These were all normal.
Swiping down further, a joint announcement from the Huaxia region's Oak Research Institute and the military made Hikaru pause.
"The Dynamaxing of Pokémon is suspected to be due to the corrosion of some kind of energy. This corrosion will cause their bodies to grow larger, and their energy levels will also increase to a certain extent, but it is not irreversible. As long as the said Pokémon is defeated until it loses its ability to battle in time, it will recover!
Note: If you encounter such a Dynamaxed Pokémon, please defeat it in time! If too much time passes, it will cause pressure on the said Pokémon's body, and its consciousness will permanently fall into a deep sleep."
There was also a video attached. He clicked on it to watch.
It was of a soldier in camouflage clothing, riding a Pidgeot, defeating a Dynamaxed Alcremie...
