Chapter 20: Secret Realm of Flame

In recent days, online news media have been widely publicizing the heroic deeds of the Xia family, portraying Charlotte, the youngest quasi-king-level trainer in Xishu Province, as a heroic role model, calling on everyone to learn from him while also increasing the bounty on Xu Xiu.

Everything in Starlight City has gradually returned to normal, except that there are many more out-of-town license plates on the streets recently. They have obviously set their eyes on the newly discovered secret realm and want to catch up to get a piece of the pie, either by speculating in real estate or taking on some projects. The construction of the secret realm will definitely drive a large number of industries, just like the real estate industry. In recent days, housing prices in Starlight City have been rising every day.

At this time, the 20% priority purchase right of the secret realm shares held by the Xia family was a hot commodity. The value of the secret realm was beyond imagination. In addition to the huge investment in the early stage, the profit performance in the later stage was beyond imagination. It was almost a sure-win business. Under normal circumstances, the owners of the museums in the city where the secret realm was located only had a 10% priority purchase right of shares, but because of the heroic performance of the two owners of the Xia family, the 10% priority purchase right of shares was specially increased to 20%.

In particular, this secret realm is the only secret realm with both grass and insect attributes in the entire Xishu Province. Its uniqueness and uniqueness make everyone see the huge profits behind it.

As of today, three waves of people have come to the Xia family and expressed their willingness to invest in purchasing the Xia family's priority purchase rights for the secret realm. Not only are the prices they offer extremely high, but the most important thing is that those who dare to come to the door are all big shots with power and background.

Behind the weakest of them there are at least two quasi-Elite trainers, while behind the other two there is a Elite trainer, but they are all nameless Elite trainers who have the strength of Elite trainers but do not have the official Elite title.

Looking at the entire southwest region, there are only four officially certified Elite-level trainers, and they are all the four strongest Elite-level trainers in the southwest region, commonly known as the Four Heavenly Kings.

For example, Li Yunyao is a famous Elite-level trainer, and if Xu Xiu had not betrayed, he would be an unnamed Elite-level trainer. The difference between the two is a world of difference. After all, a Elite-level trainer can be called an Elite-level trainer if he has a Elite-level Pokémon, and a Elite-level trainer like Li Yunyao who has a name basically has all Elite-level Pokémon and at least one Quasi-God-level Pokémon.

If a real fight broke out, Xu Xiu was no match for Li Yunyao, so he left at the right time.

It is also because of the right of first refusal of shares in the secret realm that Xia Yong has been worried these days. He is unwilling to hand over his shares to others, and he is also worried that the Xia family will not be able to afford so many shares with the strength of his family. He is so anxious that his hair turns gray.

Xia Yu wanted to participate in the purchase of shares in the secret realm, but he couldn't. He didn't have the qualifications or the strength. But he was very busy recently, busy training two Pokémon. The hard-working trainer, Bulbasaur, didn't need Xia Yu to worry about him. His strength improved rapidly and he had already learned the see-through skill. Buzzbat grew a little slower. It was just born and was still growing vigorously. Although it was not as good as Bulbasaur, it was within the normal range.

"Xiao Yu." Charlotte's voice came from outside the door.

"I'm here, brother." Xia Yu opened the door and saw Xia Luo standing outside. After a few days of rest and his engagement, he looked in good spirits and had come out of the shadow of the past few days.

Charlotte held the box containing the Thunder Stone in his hand and handed it to Xia Yu solemnly: "Xiao Yu, I'll leave this Thunder Stone to you. I thought about it and realized that I'm not good at training Electric Pokémon, and I prefer Fire Pokémon to Electric Pokémon. I can't use this thing, so you keep it."

"Brother, this thing is given to you, so I'll give it to you." Xia Yu refused. This Thunder Stone was actually of little use to him, because his task required him to capture dragon-type Pokémon. Unless he captured Thunderbird or Dragonite, this Thunder Stone was useless.

"Xiao Yu!" Charlotte said in a serious tone: "Listen, your brother is at least a quasi-king-level trainer, and I still have some savings. Your Thunder Stone will only affect my determination to become a fire king! If you don't accept it, I won't take you with me when I go to pick Pokémon today."

"elder brother."

…………

In the end, in order to help his brother pick a Pokémon with good qualifications, Xia Yu chose to compromise and took back the S-level Thunder Stone. After many twists and turns, the Thunder Stone finally returned to Xia Yu's hands.

The two of them went out and boarded the Flying Pokémon, heading for the Fire Secret Realm in Xishu Province. This is also the signature secret realm of Xishu Province, and it is also the largest secret realm in Xishu Province. A large number of rare fire-type Pokémon live in it. Basically, the three major fire-type Pokémon in the territory of China can be found in the secret realm.

The Flame Secret Realm is located in Tiandu City, the capital of Western Shu Province. As soon as the two approached the Flame Secret Realm, a trainer with a Flying Pokémon approached them and indicated that they had entered the no-fly zone of the Flame Secret Realm and should land immediately.

"We're here." This was not Charlotte's first time here, so he seemed very familiar with the place. Xia Yu had also been here once, but was not qualified to enter the core area: "This is your second time here, right?"

"Yeah." Xia Yu nodded. The last time he came here was when he was ten years old. His father brought him here and wanted to choose a starting Pokémon for him.

The Flame Secret Realm covers a very large area, and the gate is built quite luxuriously. It looks majestic from a distance. There are cars coming and going, and there is even a long queue at the entrance.

This time the two of them didn't have to squeeze. They took the dedicated VIP channel and only needed to go through security check to enter.

"Xia Luo, Xia Yu. You can go in now."

The two walked in the glass corridor, and through the transparent insulating glass, they could see a large number of fire-type Pokémon in the secret realm.

"This is just the outer area, and the fire-type Pokémon are limited in qualifications." Charlotte introduced to Xia Yu: "The real core areas are the volcanic area, the Sunshine Valley, the Blazing Jungle, and the Fierce Fire Plains. The outer areas are equivalent to exhibition halls, and all of them are Pokémon with slightly lower qualifications."

Of course, the so-called poor qualifications are only relative. They are much stronger than most wild Pokémon.

"The volcanic area is inhabited by heat-resistant Pokémon such as Charmeleon, Lava Snail, and Platypus. It is said that the official of the Flame Realm has plans to introduce Flame Queen and Exploding Tortoise."

"The Sunshine Valley is home to Pokémon like Charizard, Infernape, Daruma Baboon, and Vulcan Moth."

"The Flaming Forest is home to Pokémon such as the Flaming Chicken, the Flaming Monkey, the Flaming Arrow Eagle, and the Flaming Lion."

"In the Blazing Plains, Pokémon such as Houndoom, Arcanine, and Pyropaké live. The year before last, the Flame Ace tribe from Ouzhou was introduced, and this year, Flame Ace Pokémon eggs have been cultivated."

As the leader of a fire-type gym, Charlotte naturally keeps an eye on the dynamics of the Fire Secret Realm. He knows the distribution of Pokémon in the secret realm like the back of his hand and acts as a guide to continuously introduce them to Xia Yu.

"Let's go to the Blazing Plains first." Compared to the previous Pokémon, Charlotte was more interested in the newly introduced Flame Ace. He chatted with Xia Yu while walking: "In fact, I like the unique fire Pokémon from Ouzhou, Tan-sama. Both of its evolutionary forms are very good. Both Crimson Armor Knight and Azure Blade Ghost are very strong Pokémon. It's a pity that we don't have them here."

"I still prefer Charizard and Blaziken, and Houndoom is not bad either." Xia Yu deliberately said. Because Charizard, Blaziken and Houndoom are Pokémon that can mega-evolve, and once the mega evolution is announced, the prices of these three Pokémon will definitely skyrocket, especially Charizard and Blaziken.

"Let's talk about it later." Charlotte sighed. Among his fallen Pokémon was a Flame Chicken. If he trains another one, he will always think of the little things he had with Flame Chicken in the past. "Let's go check out the Pokémon Egg of Flame Ace first."
