Pokémon: Forced to Become a Dragon Master at the Beginning

(Xie Tianming is a guest character of the book friend. His original name was Lin Hao, but I felt that this name was not domineering enough, so I changed it to Xie Tianming, which means I am Tianming, I am destiny)

Xie Tianming, who is tall and muscular, did not feel frustrated or lost because of his first defeat. Instead, he felt his blood boiling. Hatchling was just the first Pokémon he had on his journey. It did not have good qualifications, and he expected that he could not beat Charizard.

Looking at such a powerful Charizard, Xie Tianming showed a bright smile on his face and looked directly at Xia Yu. Only such a powerful opponent was worthy of the hardships he had gone through on his journey to become a trainer.

The cheers from the audience around him further stimulated his nerves. Born in an ordinary family, he was already 25 years old this year. At this age, many people were already gym leader-level trainers, but he was still only a lord-level trainer, even though he had put in countless efforts for it.

He came from a humble family and dropped out of school when he was a teenager to work in other places. He worked in a factory as a screwdriver and did hard labor on a construction site. He experienced the hardships of life, but he did not give up hope for life.

He had been saving money, and after working for two years, he had saved tens of thousands of yuan. With all his savings, Xie Tianming resolutely quit his job, bought his first Pokémon, and embarked on the path of becoming a trainer.

During these five years, he had gone through countless hardships and nearly died in the wild several times. He had put in countless efforts, but until now he was still only a lord-level trainer.

This is also the helplessness of most trainers who come from poor backgrounds. Without good resources and powerful Pokémon, they can only wander around, looking for every opportunity to become stronger. They may even die in the wild accidentally and no one will know.

He came to challenge Xia Yu this time for one purpose, which was to prove himself. Although he came from a poor family and was only a lord-level trainer until now, at this stage, he and his ace Pokémon were absolutely invincible in the same level.

"Xia Yu, I will send out my strongest partner next. I hope you can also send out your trump card and fight me seriously!" Xie Tianming said, looking directly at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu listened to Xie Tianming's words and frowned slightly. To be honest, he felt that with Xie Tianming's strength, he didn't need to rank with the Lizard King at all: "Wait until you defeat my Charizard, then you can see my trump card."

"Okay! Don't worry, I will make you recognize my strength!"

Hearing this, Xie Tianming did not force it. Reputation is always earned by oneself, not begged for by others!

Xie Tianming took a red and white Poké Ball from his neck, looked at the black Charizard flying in the sky, and then threw it high into the sky.

"Go, Flame Monkey!"

Looking at this scene, Xia Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart, Xie Tianming's ball throwing action is really cool, he should study his own ball throwing action carefully in the future.

The Flame Monkey with blazing flames appeared on the stage, and it attracted Xia Yu's attention as soon as it appeared.

The reason is simple: the talent of this Infernape is really too good. The quasi-champion level talent made Xia Yu's pupils shrink. This is the first time that he has seen a Pokémon with quasi-champion level talent in the hands of an ordinary person.

An ordinary Flame Monkey is about 1.2 meters tall, while Xie Tianming's Flame Monkey is about 1.75 meters tall, almost the same height as Xie Tianming behind it.

Its arms dropped to its knees, and a fiery red flame burned behind its head, draped behind it like a red cloak.

For some reason, this Infernape gave Xia Yu a very unusual feeling. Xia Yu vaguely saw the shadows of Wei Yeqin and Lucario in Xie Tianming and this Infernape. When Infernape appeared, Xie Tianming's whole temperament changed.

There is a feeling of unity of mind and connection between Xie Tianming and the Flame Monkey. Their eyes are equally firm and sharp, and there is confidence in themselves in their eyes.

Xia Yu put away his contemptuous thoughts, and a serious look appeared on his face. He looked at his Charizard and said, "Charizard, the opponent is very strong, you must go all out."

"Ah." Charizard nodded. It could also feel the aura of the opponent's Infernape. It stared at Infernape, ready to attack.

"Game start!"

"Roar!"

This time Xia Yu didn't need any command at all. Based on his understanding of Charizard, it would definitely launch a sneak attack this time!

Sure enough, Charizard did not disappoint Xia Yu. It started with another skillful sneak attack, and the surging flames flew towards Infernape like a fire dragon.

"Inflame, charge over there, get close!" Xie Tianming commanded calmly, letting Inflame withstand the jets of flame and attack Charizard at close range.

Faced with the jet of flames, there was no hesitation in Infernape's eyes. He rushed directly towards Charizard. The flames on his head floated like the wind, like a scarlet battle robe.

Infernape broke through the scorching flames, its fists glowing red, bathed in flames and emitting blazing flames, as it rushed straight towards Charizard.

Xia Yu had already seen that the characteristic of this Flame Monkey was the Iron Fist. When using fist skills, the power would be increased. He would not wait foolishly for the Flame Monkey to get close to him: "Charizard, fly up!"

Seeing the reckless Infernape rushing towards him, Xia Yu didn't need to say anything and Charizard took off.

"Infernape, the rockfall forced it down."

Xie Tianming looked at the flying Charizard with a frown on his face. His Infernape was almost invincible at close range, but when encountering a Pokémon like Charizard that could fly, it was difficult for him to exert his advantage.

He immediately changed his strategy and let Infernape use Rock Slide! Charizard, with both fire and flying attributes, was four times weaker to rock. If it was hit by a Rock Slide, it would most likely be defeated. Even if it could barely take on one Rock Slide, it would definitely not be able to take on a second one.

Infernape punched the ground, causing it to crack and spider-web-like cracks to appear. It suddenly dug out a huge rock from the ground, lifted it high, tilted its body slightly backward, and then threw it with all its strength. The huge rock flew towards Charizard like a cannonball!

"Charizard, use your metal claws to break the rocks!"

Although Xia Yu's Charizard is special attack oriented, he still insists on training. Although his physical fitness is not as good as that of physical attackers, he can still come to the rescue at critical moments.

Looking at the rapidly flying rocks, the Charizard waved its claws and let out a roar. Steel energy wrapped around the dragon claws, spreading out huge silver steel energy claws that split the rocks!

The huge rock instantly shattered into countless small rocks and scattered in all directions.

"Infernape, Invisible Rock!"

The rock energy in Flame's body surged, and he suddenly raised his fist upwards. The rock energy in his body exploded, and the tiny rocks scattered on the ground were controlled by Flame. They all flew into the air, floating in the air, covering the surroundings and sky above Charizard, and then all became invisible and disappeared.
