BXBX NOVEL Chapter 313: Outrage
Chapter 313: Outrage
It was unclear if Charmander was too busy crying to react or if it was due to the special nature of the Poké Ball, but the Charmander captured in the Poké Ball didn\'t struggle; it was immediately caught.
Yuga didn\'t release Charmander because it seemed quite the crybaby! But he understood, after all, she was just a little girl, and being a bit teary-eyed was normal.
Finally, Yuga had captured his sixth Pokémon, and he felt like he was on the right path as a Pokémon Trainer, although he didn\'t always look like one.
Capturing a Charmander with such extraordinary potential made this journey worth it, even if he didn\'t find anything else along the way. It seemed that setting certain expectations was indeed a gamble. Yuga didn\'t encounter anything else noteworthy after capturing Charmander; it appeared that his luck had run out with that Charmander.
After some wandering, Yuga encountered a few Camerupts, but they all had potential below green, making them useless for Yuga except for earning Merit Points.
Soon, Yuga was only a stone\'s throw away from the mountaintop of the dormant volcano. At this point, the battle between the two Charizards on the mountaintop had intensified. They had taken to the sky once more, and Yuga could see them clearly.
Their intense battle involved constant clashes of scorching flames, and waves of searing heat spread out in all directions, even reaching Yuga and making him feel the oncoming heat.
The two Charizards collided once more. This time, Mr. Moore\'s Charizard delivered a Thunder Punch to the chest of the mountaintop Charizard, sending it plummeting from the sky.
The roaring of the mountaintop Charizard nearly shook the entire dormant volcano, and everyone on the mountain, trainers and Pokémon alike, heard it.
As the mountaintop Charizard soared back into the sky, its eyes turned crimson, and it charged aggressively toward Mr. Moore\'s Charizard!
It was Outrage! Yuga thought.
It seemed that Charmander was truly the offspring of the mountaintop Charizard. Outrage was not a skill that every Pokémon possessed. Even among legitimate Dragon-type Pokémon, not many could use it. For example, none of the Flygons in Yuga\'s Ecopark could perform it.
In the sky, the mountaintop Charizard collided heavily with Mr. Moore\'s Charizard. Mr. Moore\'s Charizard was sent flying, appearing to be seriously injured.
However, the mountaintop Charizard had no intention of letting it go. It dove towards Mr. Moore\'s Charizard once more.
This time, Mr. Moore\'s Charizard reacted quickly, dodging successfully, and then retaliated with another Thunder Punch, knocking the mountaintop Charizard down again.
The mountaintop Charizard created a large crater upon landing. When it got back up, it was in a state of confusion.
Outrage was indeed powerful. With just one use, it had depleted half of Mr. Moore\'s Charizard\'s health, coupled with the intense battle before, Mr. Moore\'s Charizard was now on its last legs.
However, the drawback was significant too. The confused mountaintop Charizard not only began spewing flames and causing destruction in its surroundings, but it also turned aggressive towards itself and anyone nearby. Fortunately, there was little vegetation on the mountaintop; otherwise, it could have triggered a forest fire.
Mr. Moore\'s Charizard simply hovered in the sky, watching the rampaging mountaintop Charizard without taking any action. It knew that once the mountaintop Charizard exhausted itself, it would fall.
At this point, there were no Pokémon left on the mountaintop, only falling rocks and raging flames, which left Yuga and the other Trainers on edge.
After almost half an hour of madness, the mountaintop Charizard finally calmed down and collapsed into the deep pit it had created.
It was then that Mr. Moore finally appeared and used a Poké Ball to capture the mountaintop Charizard.
In fact, Mr. Moore had originally gone to the mountaintop to negotiate with the mountaintop Charizard.
The mountaintop Charizard was the king of the entire dormant volcano, leading numerous Fire-type Pokémon that resided there.
Due to the Fire Stone veins, Mr. Moore hoped the mountaintop Charizard and its followers would relocate. The League would provide them with a new habitat.
However, negotiations had broken down. The mountaintop Charizard refused to leave the dormant volcano and engaged in a fierce battle with Mr. Moore instead.
To be honest, it was quite unfair to ask someone to relocate without any reason.
People were living peacefully in their homes, and suddenly you come along and ask them to give up their nests. Anyone in their place would resist, even if you compensate them with a new nest. Who knows if the new one is as comfortable as their old one.
However, human progress often comes with various sacrifices.
From the perspective of human development, it\'s understandable, just like industrial development inevitably leads to environmental pollution, even if many measures are taken, pollution will still exist.
It\'s the same here.
Despite the League\'s efforts to compensate the Pokémon, the damage still remains.
So, you might say humans are wrong, but from the standpoint of human history, it\'s a step towards progress. Are the Pokémon wrong? No, they are simply guarding their home.
Therefore, finding a way for humans to develop and coexist with Pokémon is something the League has always wanted to do but hasn\'t been able to achieve.
After capturing the mountaintop Charizard, Mr. Moore mounted his battle-worn Charizard and departed.
Seeing that it was getting late, Yuga decided it was time to return to the base. He immediately set off with Absol.
Upon Yuga\'s return to the base, it wasn\'t long before both Flannery and Beidou returned safely, each with their own degree of success.
Beidou had successfully captured a seemingly promising Houndoom. He chose it because he found Flannery\'s Houndoom very convenient in the wild and believed it would be a significant asset.
When they had some time, they all turned in the extra Pokémon they had caught for Merit Points.
Their harvest for the day was quite good, with each of them earning over a thousand Merit Points. Flannery, in particular, earned over two thousand Merit Points since she didn\'t keep any Pokémon. If this were in the outside world, it would take a lot more effort to earn this many Merit Points.
In the evening, Yuga met with Mr. Moore privately.
"Why have you come to see me?" Mr. Moore asked with a smile.
"I want to see that Charizard!" Yuga stated his purpose directly.
Yuga\'s words surprised Mr. Moore.
"Why? What do you want to do with it?" Mr. Moore was puzzled.
Yuga took out a Poké Ball, released the crying Charmander, and said, "I suspect this little one is the offspring of that Charizard. I want to let it see its mother."
Charmander was now Yuga\'s Pokémon, and he didn\'t want it to have any regrets. That\'s why he made this trip.
Looking at the Charmander before him, Mr. Moore was somewhat astonished. He hadn\'t expected that Charizard had offspring. Although Charmander appeared to be a bit teary-eyed, its potential was likely quite good.
Mr. Moore didn\'t refuse Yuga\'s request and agreed. There was nothing wrong with letting them, mother and child, meet. It would ensure the safety of both the Charizard and the Charmander, and Charmander could train with its Trainer without worries.
