Chapter 150: The Mischievous Little Torchic

"We've arrived!"

"Because it's too mischievous, we've locked it in this courtyard. You go in yourself!"

"Although the possibility is low, I still have to say it: if it stubbornly refuses to be tamed by you, then I can only say sorry!"

"I understand!"

Pushing open the courtyard gate, Bai Jing walked in alone.

The courtyard wasn't large; Bai Jing spotted a Little Torchic lying lazily on the grass, legs crossed, with a foxtail grass stem in its mouth.

"Yo~ living quite leisurely, aren't you!"

Seeing the newcomer, the Little Torchic flipped up and circled Bai Jing curiously, sizing him up.

Not bad; at least it's not afraid of strangers!

Little Torchic

Gender: Male

Type: Fire

Ability: Blaze

Aptitude: Body (S), Physical Attack (S), Physical Defense (A), Special Attack (SS), Special Defense (A), Speed (SS)

Potential: Champion

Strength: Ordinary (Early Stage)

Bai Jing was overjoyed. Excellent aptitude; aside from defense being a bit weak, everything else was well-balanced, with Special Attack and Speed standing out as exceptional.

"Little Torchic, from today on I am your trainer. Please, Duoduozhi Sect!"

The Little Torchic already knew this; that was why it had been sizing Bai Jing up since he arrived.

Wanting to be my trainer isn't that easy!

With a mischievous heart rising, it faced the hand Bai Jing extended, showed a friendly expression while extending a claw, then suddenly spun around and swept its tail toward Bai Jing's feet!

Go fall down, you!

Facing the sudden attack, Bai Jing was prepared long ago and kicked out.

The teasing didn't succeed as imagined; a huge force surged from the spinning tail, kicking the Little Torchic into a few spins before it fell to the ground.

"High aptitude isn't your license to be willful; if you want to make me look foolish, you're still lacking!"

The Little Torchic climbed away, watching Bai Jing cautiously.

This trainer isn't easy to deal with, but making me submit so simply is even more impossible!

It opened Zhang Zui to spit out flames, then thought better of it; hurting someone would be bad!

So it changed to spitting out a mouthful of smoke, enveloping Bai Jing.

"You're quite naughty! It seems I must teach you a lesson before you'll submit!"

"How about this: I won't use a Pokémon to fight you. If you lose, you come with me. How about that?"

Fight me? That human must have lost his mind!

But since you like to ask for trouble, I'll grant your wish!

So the Little Torchic roared in agreement, then slipped into the black mist, sneaking toward Bai Jing.

Seeing everything through Aura, Bai Jing decided to play with it properly!

Arriving at the remembered spot, the Little Torchic searched everywhere but couldn't find Bai Jing, growing puzzled: where did the human go?

Not giving up, it roamed the entire courtyard but still couldn't find that human.

Strange, did he suddenly evaporate?

That doesn't make sense; I can walk in the black mist because I'm Fire-type. A human doesn't have that ability; even if they can't withstand it, they'd at least cough a few times, right?

Did he sneak away?

When the smoke cleared, the Little Torchic looked around but couldn't find Bai Jing's figure.

As expected, he already fled?

Tsk, speaking so boldly only to flee at the critical moment; truly unworthy of a dragon's respect!

Forget it, forget it; such a cowardly human isn't worthy of being my trainer anyway. Better that he's gone!

"Are you looking for me?"

Just as it was about to lie down again to bask in the sun, it suddenly jolted and leaped three feet high!

"Roar?"

The Little Torchic stared at Bai Jing in shock: why are you still here?

"I've been behind you this whole time; didn't you know?"

"Roar~"

Impossible! Absolutely impossible!

"Nothing is impossible; the only thing is you're too weak, not even knowing an enemy is behind you!"

"Roar!"

The Little Torchic roared and charged forward, using the Scratch move.

Bai Jing glanced aside, dodged, kicked out to trip it, and made the Little Torchic faceplant!

The Little Torchic angrily sprang up; just now I was careless. Again!

Bai Jing dodged agilely once more, kicked its back, and made it fall flat again!

I don't believe I can't beat a mere human!

The Little Torchic, rising again, was clearly enraged and, completely disregarding whether it would hurt someone, opened Zhang Zui and spat a stream of Ember.

Bai Jing didn't care at all; he didn't even look, casually flicked his hand, and swatted the Ember away.

The Charmander was so shocked its jaw nearly dropped — this was a flame, not a ball! Could it really be flicked aside so casually?

"A weak little spark, not worth a glance! Anything else?"

The Charmander was furious — how dare it look down on me!

This time it spewed a powerful breath, forming a beam of light that surged forward.

Bai Jing didn't move; a wave-guide barrier rose up and blocked the charge outside.

"Dragon Breath? Not bad — far stronger than a spark!"

The Charmander's entire worldview shattered. Was this really the human it knew? Are you sure you're not an elf in a human skin?

"Is that all you've got? Honestly, you're even weaker than I imagined. I'm already thinking about giving up on you and choosing another elf!"

"Roar~~~"

This time the Charmander was truly enraged — fury soaring to the heavens!

From the day it was born until now, which human hadn't been polite and obedient? Even when it was naughty, it had never been punished — at most, locked up here.

Fine, you human look down on me — but how dare you humiliate me again and again!

Even my mother has never despised me like this!

An uncle may endure, but a dragon-dragon cannot!

The fully erupting Charmander had energy pour out of its body, forming an enormous energy dragon on its surface, which threw back its head and let out a soundless roar!

Bai Jing's eyes lit up — this was Dragon God Dive, a skill it couldn't have learned; it could only be inherited.

In other words, one of its parents was a true dragon!

No wonder its talent is so outstanding!
