"Well, Granny Sun, let's take another look at the Fire Types."
Fang Yuan didn't make a decision right away. Although it was a bit troublesome for the elderly, he still wanted to understand all the Pokemon.
Granny Sun hummed in affirmation and continued to lead the way while saying, "For Fire Types, there are five spirits with somewhat special talents."
"Oh?" Fang Yuan responded.
...
Fire Type spirits definitely can't be raised in the same place as Grass Type spirits.
This was an environment similar to a valley with a lot of rocks, a huge open-air location.
Why were there so many rocks? Perhaps because rocks aren't easily burnt.
"This Charmander here has outstanding Dragon Type talent and its physical condition is pretty good. It's just that it has a bad temper, which is why it learned Dragon's Wrath early."
Upon arriving here, Granny Sun first found a bunch of Charmanders and began introducing them.
Next up were Cyndaquil.
"The one in the middle, the Cyndaquil, has a rare Flame trait, and its progenitor is Nine Tails, inheriting Awakened Power Moves."
Fang Yuan made a thoughtful noise, it sounded good.
Counting those few Grass Type spirits, the talents of these spirits were almost on par with his own Trio Magnet Monsters.
After all, the Trio Magnet Monsters only had outstanding superpower talent.
Comparing like this, Fang Yuan felt he was too lucky.
It was insane luck to come across a Trio Magnet Monster in that kind of abandoned power plant.
As for his own Eevee's talents… Fang Yuan couldn't say for sure, after thinking about it, Eevee also had no particular talents; it was so excellent because it had been well raised by himself.
"Torchic..." Seeing a few Torchic running around the rocks, Fang Yuan couldn't help saying, "The first one has the Quick Feet trait? It's very fast."
"Yes, the first two Torchic have the Quick Feet trait, they also have outstanding speed talent, and they've already learned Quick Attack. In this area, there probably isn't any Fire Type Pokemon faster than these two Torchic," Granny Sun continued, "Over there is another one with special talents, the Chimchar, it's the last one."
The Charmander with outstanding Dragon Type talent didn't tempt Fang Yuan; if he had a MEGA Stone, he would definitely choose Charmander, but there were no ifs.
The Cyndaquil that knew Superpower sounded good, which could utilize his Energy Blocks, but after giving it some thought, it wasn't the perfect match.
And the nature of Fire-tornado beast also wasn't well suited for Fang Yuan.
The Torchic with the Quick Feet trait, if enhanced with Purple-Red Energy Cube, would have both speed and power, likely making it very strong.
But Fang Yuan still looked towards the Chimchar, one of his deeply considered choices.
Under Granny Sun's guidance, Fang Yuan saw this Chimchar sitting cross-legged on a rock, puzzled, he said, "Isn't Chimchar supposed to be mischievous and highly curious? This one... looks so health-conscious."
"It's just on the surface," Granny Sun said. "This child inherits the Gathering Energy Technique. Its fists are very hard with the Iron Fist Trait and it's pretty powerful using punching Moves, plus it indeed has this sort of talent. It's not even two months old and it's self-taught Fire Punch and Thunder Punch. Oh, and it has also awakened the Awakening Power Technique, with the attribute being Electric."
"Awakened power..." Fang Yuan paused.
This Chimchar had a fate with him.
Now Fang Yuan's two Pokemon both knew Awakened Power; if this Chimchar also knew it, that would make three, perfect for a round of cards.
But the reason he considered Chimchar and Bulbasaur as alternatives was because Chimchar was the only one that could maximize the effects of both the Purple-Red Energy Cube and the Light Blue Energy Block.
Monferno can master meditation, thereby training mental power, and at the same time, Monferno's physical strength is also very powerful.
Monferno is one of the few Combat-style Pokemon that take both physical and mental paths.
Apart from it, there are Lucario, Conkeldurr, Mienshao, among others.
The hallmark of such Pokemon is their strong perception and willpower.
```
The Monferno belonged to the latter, possessing a strong will, great fighting spirit, and exceptional combat awareness—perhaps, this Chimchar had other talents?
Suddenly, the Chimchar opened its eyes and looked at Fang Yuan.
Then, it silently leapt down from the rock, focusing intently on the large boulder in front of it.
"What is it about to do?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Training its fist," Granny Sun said. "This Chimchar isn't as mischievous as other Chimchars because it needs to sit quietly and rest to adjust its breath—that is, to practice the 'Gathering Energy' technique to enhance the destructive power of its punches."
Whoosh! Bang!
Crack.
The Chimchar's fist was engulfed in flames, and it smashed a straight punch into the rock, instantly charring the surface. Along the charred area, a crack spread out.
The Chimchar looked dissatisfied with its work and continued to jump onto the rock, sitting down to regulate its breath once again.
"This training method is quite special," Fang Yuan marveled.
And indeed, the power of Fire Punch was strong. It was a known fact that an Eevee would not be able to break even a tree after one or two months of training.
But what was this?
Finding a state where spirit, energy, and mind are in unity?
Did it really think it was the senior brother capable of cultivating immortality?
Chimchar's unusual training method attracted Fang Yuan. While other Pokemon possessed special talents, they still retained the characteristics and habits of their species. However, this Chimchar had a very strong personality.
It was no longer just an issue of talent; character played a part too.
Fang Yuan shook his head and continued to ask Granny Sun to show him the Water-type Spirits.
The Water-type Spirits were standard, among them a Mudkip with Ice-type talent that piqued Fang Yuan's interest, but that was all.
"Sigh."
After touring the place thoroughly, Fang Yuan made his decision.
"I'll choose that Chimchar."
Granny Sun was surprised, "Have you decided?" But she also agreed with Fang Yuan's judgment; the Chimchar was indeed remarkable.
The potential and talent of the Chimchar could easily rank it in the top three among these Pokemon. With the right resources, becoming a main Pokemon for a Professional Trainer wouldn't be a problem.
"I have decided," Fang Yuan said.
With the Purple-Red Energy Cube, this Chimchar could definitely become Fang Yuan's main force within a year. Its physical strength could be developed to the limit, and with the Light blue energy block as a supplement, the Chimchar's mental power would also not fall behind.
...
Fang Yuan and his group returned to where the Chimchar was located.
Looking at the Chimchar sitting quietly on the rock, Fang Yuan extended an invitation to it.
The next moment, flames ignited over the Chimchar's body as it opened its eyes and fixed its gaze on Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan also stared at the Chimchar.
Neither of the two wanted to blink first.
Chimchar: ???
Fang Yuan: ???
