Chapter 133 Fire Dinosaur

After waiting in the restaurant for a while, the manager with glasses arrived. After some operations by him, he finally let Xiao Zhen and the others pay with gold bars.

However, in order to demonstrate the restaurant's rigor, the manager returned some of the remaining balance to Xiao Zhen in the form of paper money after collecting a few gold bars.

"Oh! It's so troublesome to have a meal. Doesn't gold count as money?" Xiao Zhen, who was walking on the street, complained with an unhappy look on his face.

Hanako was also a little speechless. In modern times, who would pay directly with gold? But this young master seemed to have just traveled from ancient times and carried so many gold bars on him.

Huazi was half right. Although Xiao Zhen traveled from modern Earth, he had been a rich young master in the Douqi Continent for more than ten years and had long been accustomed to paying with gold coins.

"Hey! Young Master, where are we going now?" Hanako asked speechlessly.

Xiao Zhen also stopped, looked around, and explained, "I'm going to participate in the Quartz Conference next, so I have to collect at least eight gym badges. There should be a gym with badges in this Evergreen City."

Hanako nodded. Although she was also interested in the Quartz Conference, she had no intention of participating.

The two then asked passers-by around them and successfully found out the location of the Tokiwa Gym.

The subsequent challenges went smoothly. The leader of the Tokiwa Gym was an uncle who was good at using Bug-type Pokémon.

After knowing that Xiao Zhen had only become a trainer for a few days, he considerately proposed a one-on-one duel, and only used an ordinary Butterfree.

With the help of the gym owner, Xiao Zhen's little fire dragon easily defeated its opponent and won the first badge for its master.

Afterwards, Xiao Zhen and the other person left the Changpan Gym.

Looking at the badge in Xiao Zhen's hand, Hua Zi said boredly: "This badge is too easy to get. That uncle put too much water in the game. There is nothing exciting about it."

"Hehe" Xiao Zhen smiled softly and explained: "There are reasons for this. The purpose of these gyms is to train and test those trainers.

If the badge can only be obtained by defeating the gym trainer, then there is no need to hold the competition because not many people can meet the requirements.

Anyone who can open a gym has a unique skill, just like the uncle just now, I am sure he must have a more powerful Pokémon, but he just didn't show it!"

"Oh!" Hanako nodded. She had always lived in Pallet Town and didn't know much about these gyms, so she didn't really know the rules.

"Let's go! It's getting late. Let's find a place to stay first and then go out at night to see if there is anything fun in Changpan City." Xiao Zhen took a few quick steps and smiled faintly.

In the following days, Xiao Zhen and Huazi played for a long time before they started again.

On the way to Nibi City, Xiao Zhen met quite a few travelers, most of whom were around twelve or thirteen years old.

When these lively little ghosts saw the energetic Xiao Zhen, they all issued challenges.

Xiao Zhen was not afraid at all, and this was a good opportunity for the little fire dragon to gain experience and level up.

When the sun set, sweat was dripping from Charmander's forehead, and opposite him was a water-type Marylu.

A little boy with freckles on his face and wearing a baseball cap yelled, "Marylou, use the water jet!"

The blue ball on Marylou's tail moved, and soon a stream of water spurted out from its small lips.

After a day of fighting, the little fire dragon was already exhausted. It was knocked to the ground in an instant, and the flame on its tail began to grow weaker and weaker.

"Charmander, come on, don't lose to that water rat! You can do it, just hold on." Xiao Zhen also began to cheer for Charmander, his eyes full of trust.

After a few minutes, Marylou's stream of water finally finished.

Charmander finally breathed a sigh of relief. As a fire-type Pokémon, he was most afraid of water. The feeling just now was simply torture for him, it was so uncomfortable!

"Very good! It's time for us to fight back. Charmander, can you continue to fight?" Xiao Zhen waved his hand and shouted.

"Roar!"

The little fire dragon roared into the sky, a white light flashed across its body, and changes began to appear immediately.

After the light, Charmander had successfully evolved into Charmeleon. Its body color became brighter red and it became a little taller.

"Great! Charmeleon, come on, defeat that little mouse!"

The Fire Dinosaur roared to the sky and immediately rushed towards Marylu. Its speed increased significantly. The sharp claws in its hands began to emit a cold light and its face was full of confidence.

"What the hell? It evolved at this time. Ma...Marilu, quickly use the water gun to suppress it!"

After receiving the order, Marylou's mouth began to bulge continuously, as if water was accumulating.

"Charmander, don't give him this opportunity, use Crazy Grab!" Xiao Zhen ordered loudly.

The Fire Dinosaur also understood what was going on. It jumped up and landed directly in front of Marylu. Its sharp claws kept hitting Marylu in the face.

Marylou, who had suffered a series of attacks, fell to the ground covered with wounds, and the water that had accumulated in her mouth flowed out from the corners of her mouth.

When the little brat saw that his Pokémon was defeated, he just fell to the ground and cried loudly, without any sign of admitting defeat.

The corner of Xiao Zhen's mouth twitched. It was just a competition. He even waived the boy's money. What was there to be sad about?

The worst that could happen is to take Marylou to a Pokémon Center, which is free anyway and doesn't charge any money.

During dinner in the evening, Xiao Zhen was so happy that he rewarded the Fire Dinosaur with a few more pieces of dried snake meat, which made the fat dog very greedy!

Although Katie didn't know what kind of meat it was, its dog nose told it that it must be something good.

Looking at the two or three pound steak on his plate, the ears of the Caterpillar drooped. If it was for another Caterpillar, it would definitely be enough, but if it was for him, then...

"Catti, stop looking around. These are your meals for tonight! After you finish eating, you have to run a lap for me." Hanako put her hands on her hips and scolded sternly.

After watching Xiao Zhen's battle today, Hanako was also itching to try, but he only had one Pikachu to use, and he did manage to defeat several opponents.

But this Caterpie was a little disappointed. She sent him to fight today, but he actually lost to a unicorn beetle that was a little girl of five or six years old. This made her feel ashamed.

Hanako also made up her mind to help Caterpillar lose weight. If she didn't let him lose some weight, it would be a shame to say that he didn't lose weight.

"Ouch!"

Feeling sad, Caterpie couldn't help but howl at the moon in the sky, fully expressing his dissatisfaction.

At this moment, a stick hit Growlithe's head directly.

"What are you making such a fuss about? There are still many people around here and they have to travel tomorrow. Do you have any sense of public morality?" Xiao Zhen pointed at the fat dog and shouted loudly.

Although this place is in the wilderness and there are no villages nearby, there are quite a few people camping here.

Most of them are traveling trainers who have long journeys to catch tomorrow. If they are disturbed by this stupid dog, they might come to argue with Xiao Zhen and the others.

Katie touched the painful spot on his head with his paw and screamed in his heart: You bastard, you roar louder than me, and you have the nerve to talk to me.
