Chapter 573: Reborn in the Sixth Life - Given a Little Brother at the Start
Boom—!
Roars originating from the blue planet resounded continuously throughout the mountain range.
That was the roar of a certain backbone of the earth—a volcano.
Crimson, scorching magma erupted from the crater, sprinkling onto every corner of the surrounding land.
Various bizarrely shaped creatures popped their heads out from the valleys, forests, and caves, fleeing rapidly in the direction away from the volcano.
The scorching and crimson magma, accompanied by skies full of fire and blood, irrigated this land.
Looking up.
On the surrounding volcanic peaks.
There were actually two massive clans engaged in a cruel all-out war over the ownership of this volcanic mountain range.
One side was a clan of Blaziken, with bandaged claws, robust and powerful legs, and feathers as fiery as flames!
The other side was a clan of Charizard, with pale orange skin, wings on their backs, resembling Western dragons!
Both sides had at least fifty Blaziken and Charizard respectively.
Every Blaziken and Charizard was over four meters tall!
And the most eye-catching were the leaders of both sides!
One side was a Mega Blaziken over forty meters tall.
A massive yet agile figure, every kick seemed capable of opening a sinkhole on this volcanic mountain range.
Even the surrounding temperature became more scorching with the waving of its feathers!
And capable of being the opponent of this overlord.
The leader of the Charizard clan on the other side naturally wasn't simple either. That was a Mega Charizard Y similarly no less than forty meters tall!
With every flap of its wings, the clouds in the sky and the atmosphere around it would involuntarily disperse or stagnate.
The temperature of the sparks casually spewed from its mouth was well over 2000 degrees.
The battle between these two overlord clans.
Was destined to decide life and death today!
Only one side could survive in this continuous volcanic mountain range, and the other side would forever disappear from this world.
Just as the dragon and phoenix were battling.
Inside the highest volcano, there was a small magma lake emitting steaming hot air.
In the center of the lake was a huge nest made of the keratin of some unknown Pokémon.
In the nest, two fiery red eggs nestled quietly.
Under this frequent violent shaking and constantly rising temperature.
The two eggs were hatching at an extremely fast speed.
The eggs, which originally might have taken another three days to hatch smoothly, actually began to flash with a regular light in a short period.
Moreover, the frequency of this flashing light became faster and faster.
Until the end, it almost merged into one continuous light.
A magical thing happened!
Different from the hatching of Pokémon eggs in the League Era.
Only to see the egg on the left.
After the flash suddenly intensified, all the light was entirely absorbed back into the egg.
The next second.
Crack.
A crack appeared on the eggshell.
Bang!
A tiny foot abruptly opened a hole at the top of the eggshell.
Bang!
Immediately after, the other foot also kicked out a hole.
Then, this little thing was seen wearing the eggshell on its head, walking back and forth in the nest, not knowing what it was wandering about for.
"Char-ha~"
An anxious voice sounded from inside the eggshell. Because its legs broke the shell first, it caused the little guy's hands inside the egg to not be able to exert force, unable to break the eggshell.
This made the little guy extremely anxious.
It ran amok everywhere in the nest, intending to shatter the eggshell.
And then immediately after.
It crashed headfirst into its unborn good brother!
Bang!
Crack!
Forcefully hastening the birth of its good brother.
The eggshell of the other egg abruptly shattered into pieces.
Will's consciousness was originally still dazed.
Suddenly he felt the world spinning, and then he found himself lying flat on the ground, looking blankly at the sky filled with black smoke.
"Nice and warm."
Feeling the temperature on his back, and the steam constantly drifting into his vision.
Will closed his eyes, preparing to sleep again.
Suddenly.
Rumble rumble—!!
A sound like a thunderclap exploded beside his ear.
Will opened his eyes rather impatiently, only to see a giant boulder smashing down from above his head.
This scared him, and he instantly became alert.
Will, relying on Master-level reflexes, didn't say a word, performed a backflip and stood up, moving his two tiny feet and hurriedly running to the side.
Thanks to having been a Piplup for decades in his fourth life.
Although his legs in this life were also very short, he wouldn't fall flat on his face because he couldn't control them.
If he had to say.
It was that the tail behind his butt was long and heavy. As a newly born cub, his butt didn't have much strength, and dragging it on the ground felt quite awkward.
Swish!
Plop— Fortunately, the giant boulder didn't smash into the nest, but fell into the magma nearby, without creating any ripples, swallowed by the magma in the blink of an eye.
"Phew..."
Will raised his small arm and wiped a cold sweat.
Thank goodness he dodged it.
Why is the start of every life so perilous.
"A Fire-type Pokémon?"
Will scanned the surrounding environment.
He immediately determined he was inside a volcano crater.
Being able to give birth to Pokémon in this kind of place, there was no doubt he was the child of a Fire-type Pokémon.
He looked down at his cream-colored belly.
Will already knew in his heart.
Junichi Masuda's biological dad.
One of Nintendo's favorite sons.
The Kanto region Fire-type starter, the white moonlight (first love/ideal) of countless Pokémon fans—Charmander.
Charmander's body is orange, and its belly and the underside of its tail are cream-colored.
Its eyes are mostly dark blue, but occasionally there are exceptions, like Will's pupils are golden.
Charmander's limbs are very short, but at least it has legs, which is better than Piplup in this regard.
If one had to point out a shortcoming.
It would be that the tail is relatively long and heavy.
When Will was a Treecko in his third life, his tail was also very long, but Treecko's tail was very light, almost like a leaf, and didn't take much effort to lift.
But Charmander's tail tests whether the muscles on the butt are developed or not.
'Right, the panel!'
Will's eyes lit up at this moment, hurriedly opening the panel.
Will didn't rush to look at his strength and potential in this life first.
Instead, he immediately took out the photo.
After confirming there were no problems with [Cynthia's Heart], an irrepressible smile of relief appeared on his face.
This thing is very important!
Although the specific function still couldn't be confirmed, there was at least one thing he could be sure of.
There was no problem with this photo.
Which meant there was no problem with the bond between him and Cynthia.
Similarly.
This also meant there was no problem on Cynthia's side.
This thing was like a Vivre Card from the One Piece world; for Will, it could reflect Cynthia's current life or death.
The photo was still intact.
This proved that Cynthia was indeed protected by his Aura Power and sent to another era at the very end.
Even though he didn't know what kind of era that was, when Cynthia traveled, she brought Garchomp and the others with her.
Protected by five Champion-level Pokémon.
Will wasn't worried.
This was also the key reason he breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as nothing went wrong on Blonde-kun's side, it was fine.
As for himself...
Will only now had the time to look at his panel, while simultaneously analyzing the era he was currently in based on this panel.
The first few items didn't reveal anything.
The key point lay in the [Height] column; it was simply exaggerated.
If he hadn't specifically taken a look at the panel.
Will wouldn't have noticed that he actually had a height of a full 1.5 meters.
How the hell is this a Charmander.
It's almost as tall as a Charizard from the League Era.
'The Era of Magical Beasts, or maybe an even older era...'
Will frowned and muttered in his heart.
Charmander's height in the League Era is only 0.6 meters.
And now he is more than double this value.
For a newly born cub to have this kind of height, this is no longer the standard that the Era of Magical Beasts should have.
Pokémon in the Era of Magical Beasts, after reaching adulthood, their height is also twice the Pokédex value.
But note.
It's [after reaching adulthood]!
The current Will is a little baby just born less than two minutes ago.
"I didn't expect to have crossed such a long time this time?"
Will sighed.
If it's an era before the Era of Magical Beasts, then the distance to the future League Era is at least tens of thousands of years apart.
It's not easy to go back across such a long time.
Anyway, relying on simply living it out is impossible.
Not to mention he also had to search for Cynthia in the long river of time.
The simplest way to search.
Is undoubtedly to find Celebi and Dialga.
"Phew, let's not think about that for now."
Will shook his head.
To find those two.
He first had to be able to survive in this dangerous era.
Then his potential in this life becomes extremely important.
The dark blue potential isn't considered extraordinary; placed among Charmanders, it's just an excellent level, not considered the ceiling.
However.
This made Will suddenly realize.
The strength of his parents in this life was probably quite extraordinary.
Perhaps.
His exaggerated initial height might be inheriting the excellent genes of his parents.
Looking at the held items.
For Will in this life, the most important items were:
Dragon Fang.
Charcoal.
Sea Crown.
Dread Plate, Earth Plate, Splash Plate.
Especially the three supreme items: Charcoal, Sea Crown, and Splash Plate. Placed on a Charizard, they are simply heaven-defying!
How heaven-defying?
The legendary Water Absorb Charizard is just a little brother in front of Will.
When Will grows into a Charizard, soaring into the sky and diving into the sea will be no problem at all, completely unconcerned about being harmed by water.
The weaknesses of Charizard are nothing more than Rock, Water, and Electric.
Among them, the Water-type weakness is already immune.
Will can even, as a Fire-type Pokémon, call a bunch of Water-type Pokémon to help him fight.
Furthermore, there is the move pool.
Not directly inheriting the Psychic powers painstakingly cultivated in his previous life is one of Will's biggest regrets.
This means he might have to recultivate Psychic powers in this life.
Although it's a path he has already walked once, walking it again is not easy.
Even.
If his Psychic talent in this life is not good, then Will doesn't plan to waste time on Psychic powers.
But the inherited Ice Punch is not bad either.
A normal Charizard cannot learn Water and Ice-type moves.
And a Charizard possessing the four moves of Aura Power, Extreme Speed, Hydro Pump, and Ice Punch.
Does it still need others to evaluate whether it's sneaky or not?
[Minor Legendary]
This is Will's evaluation of his talent in this life.
The reason it's not a Major Legendary.
Is because the [Potential] column can only be considered 'excellent', not breaking the limit to reach purple, which can be considered a minor shortcoming in an otherwise perfect situation.
Just as Will was intently studying the panel.
"Char-ha!"
Bang.
An egg with legs 'headbutted' onto his body.
Directly knocking baby Will flat on his face.
Even his little tail on fire was stepped on.
"Ouch!"
Will hugged his tail and bounced up, scurrying around everywhere in the nest.
What he hates most in his life is others touching his tail!
Will turned his head, glaring angrily at the thing that bumped into him.
The next second.
His vision went blank, and he couldn't help raising his hand to scratch his head:
"Yo? Given a little brother right at the start of this life?"
