"Phew~ it's over."
Xu Li wiped the sweat from his face with his arm. He had rolled quite a few times to dodge the Staravia's attacks. Although he wasn't hit by the Staravia due to his keen eyesight and agile body, his clothes were covered in mud.
"Eevee~"
Eevee ran to Xu Li, showing him its new skill. After praying to the sky, a surge of energy filled Xu Li's body, significantly restoring his stamina.
Is this the Wish move?
[Eevee ♦
Type: Normal
Level: Lv17
Ability: Anticipation
Moves: Nuzzle, Helping Hand, Tail Whip, Wish, Tickle, Covet, Quick Attack, Baby-Doll Eyes, Swift
Affection: 81 (It deeply likes you)]
He saw that Wish was indeed in the system's move list.
"You're amazing, my Eevee."
He picked up Eevee and rubbed it vigorously. After several days of training with Xu Li, Eevee was no longer as scrawny as when they first met; it was gradually becoming a bit plump to the touch.
"Eevee~~~"
Eevee seemed very happy to be able to help Xu Li.
"Kri-kri-kri-kri~"
Kricketune Head also came to Xu Li's side, vibrating the internal cavity of its body, thanking Xu Li and his Pokémon for their help.
If not for Xu Li's timely assistance, the Kricketune tribe might have suffered heavy losses.
"It's nothing, your music is excellent."
Hearing Xu Li's praise, Kricketune Head seemed very pleased, and even its sounds became much more cheerful.
"Kri-kri-kri~ kri~~~ (Tha, thank you, I have, a gift. Want to thank, you)"
Hmm? Xu Li realized he could understand what Kricketune Head was saying. He opened the system and indeed found that the skill [Telepathy I] had changed.
[Telepathy II]
[You can slightly perceive the thoughts of Pokémon, increasing your rapport with them. Upgrades based on proficiency.]
Previously, Xu Li could only understand the words of his own Pokémon, and communicating with Bibarel at the river mouth dam relied on Shinx to relay messages. Now he could understand the words of all Pokémon, though it was still a bit choppy.
While Xu Li was thinking, Kricketune Head dug and rummaged nearby, pulling out many glittering objects and directly stuffing them into Xu Li's arms.
Many Big Pearls, Stardust, and Nuggets. It seemed these were some of the glittering treasures Kricketune Head liked to collect, all luxuries that could fetch a good sum of money in the human world.
"Then I won't be polite."
Xu Li indeed needed these items. The energy cubes Xu Li made required a large variety of different berries to mix, plus money to buy items and battle consumables like Potions.
Raising Pokémon was truly a bottomless pit, especially since Xu Li had caught quite a few Pokémon.
Next, Kricketune Head also went to Chimchar's side, similarly thanking Chimchar for its help.
Chimchar merely patted its chest, then looked at Axew next to Xu Li with fiery eyes.
"Chim-char! (You, strong, I want, to challenge you)"
"Axew?"
Axew looked at Xu Li, who nodded, signaling Axew to accept the challenge.
The battle between Axew and Chimchar officially began.
Chimchar made the first move, its body transforming into a Flame Wheel, rushing straight towards Axew.
As it neared Axew, the rolling Flame Wheel suddenly dissipated, and Chimchar's entire body sprang up, using the kinetic energy generated by the Flame Wheel's roll, extending its fist to use Fire Punch and attack Axew.
Chimchar demonstrated a small combo right at the start of the battle.
But Axew merely swayed to one side, dodging Chimchar's Fire Punch.
Then, water appeared on Axew's short tail, and with a Swift turn, Aqua Tail directly struck Chimchar.
Receive, transform, unleash.
Axew's Aqua Tail hit hard, and being a move that was super effective against Chimchar, Chimchar was sent flying directly, landing on the ground.
Its chest heaved, but it didn't get up immediately.
Time passed, but just as Xu Li was about to go check on Chimchar's injuries, Chimchar slowly propped itself up, panting heavily as it cried out:
"Chim~~ (Con, tinue)"
This time, its hands once again displayed the special technique of one hand fire and one hand lightning to Xu Li, and the flames on its backside suddenly grew larger.
As if dissatisfied with its performance in the previous round, it pushed off with its legs, unleashing all its power, and its right hand's Fire Punch swung directly towards Axew.
Chimchar's burst of speed this time was too fast. Axew hastily blocked with its hand, and Chimchar's other hand's Thunder Punch directly hit Axew.
Axew, however, endured the Thunder Punch and turned defense into offense, grabbing Chimchar. Then, it stomped its small foot heavily, using Earthquake at close range, making the Earthquake's energy burst directly beneath Chimchar.
"Chim-char!"
Axew's Earthquake was held back a bit, but Chimchar, already at the end of its rope, still couldn't withstand this close-range Ground-type ultimate move, directly losing its ability to battle.
Chimchar, with both its initial small combo and its special technique of using different moves with each hand, demonstrated its uniqueness.
Its weakness might be its fragile body, but that only became apparent when it faced Axew. It was a very excellent child.
Under Xu Li's treatment, Chimchar recovered. Being so easily defeated by Axew made Chimchar a bit dejected, and even the flames on its backside diminished.
"Here, eat some."
Xu Li came to Chimchar's side, handed Chimchar an energy cube, and then asked the dejected Chimchar, "Why do you want to become stronger?"
"Chim-char! (Father, want to defeat him)"
Chimchar ate the energy cube Xu Li offered, its eyes squinting in delight, then pointed to an isolated island across the coast, its face filled with longing, and spoke to Xu Li.
Xu Li remembered that the isolated island was called Rose Island, and the king of the island was an Infernape Head, who protected the Pokémon of Rose Island.
"Is your father the King of Rose Island?"
"Chim-char~"
Chimchar nodded, expressing its goal to Xu Li. It longed for its father's strength, which could protect the Pokémon of Rose Island.
And its desire to defeat its father, which was why it chose to come out and challenge different Pokémon to hone its strength.
Chimchar was also very happy to have found an opponent like Axew.
"I see. Would you like to travel with us?"
Xu Li began to pitch his idea; he was tempted by Chimchar.
"I will help you train, and we will explore the wider world, challenging various Pokémon in different places, whether it's the Cobalt Coastlands, Mt. Coronet, or the Pure White Frozen Soil, we will go everywhere."
"And Axew, and our other companions, we will spar and grow together."
"Chim-char~?"
Chimchar listened to Xu Li's pitch, its eyes filled with curiosity about the places Xu Li mentioned.
"And the energy cubes you just ate! Then, we'll return to Rose Island together to challenge your father."
"Chim-char!"
Chimchar joined Xu Li's team.

Chimchar's species can evolve around level 16. It's already level 21 now, so it seems to have accumulated a lot.
