Little Flame looked at the middle-aged man but still didn't say a word.
"Let's just assume you've given your silent consent. My name is Giovanni." The middle-aged man named Giovanni reached out his hand to Little Flame. Little Flame instinctively reached out his still trembling hand and shook it.
Giovanni first showed a smile to Little Flame, then spoke to the three Rocket Team members who had been hiding in the corner.
"Help your superior treat his Pokémon. Then take him to his office."
"Yes, sir!" After that, Giovanni left.
(This person is worthy of cultivation. His strength will surely be very great in the future.)
The three Rocket Team members walked up to Charizard. They took out a few bottles of medicine from the medical bag in their hands and began treating Charizard on the spot. Little Flame watched Charizard, who was covered in injuries, with worry.
(Sorry. I've made you follow me, but I've made you get hurt often. I promise that this will be the last time. I will definitely grow stronger together with you and help you become a powerful Pokémon.)
After a few minutes, Charizard flew over to Little Flame with a lot of energy. His wounds were already completely healed. At this time, the large rock in Little Flame's heart seemed to have been put down. His face was also no longer as pale as before.
"Sir Little Flame, let's go!"
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
Immediately after the Rocket Team personnel brought Little Flame to the office, they went out first. Little Flame was the only one left in the office. Little Flame was very shocked at the scene before him. There was a statue of himself, a large fountain, luxurious toilet equipment and many new things he had never seen before.
"The latest model Pokémon incubator?" Little Flame walked in front of a piece of equipment.
Little Flame casually placed the egg that the black-clothed man had given him on it. He saw the egg shake all the time. Then a white light was emitted. In the white light, a crack appeared on the eggshell. A Pokémon emerged from the egg. After the white light faded, a Riolu was sitting on it. He opened his eyes and saw Little Flame first.
Little Flame carried the newly hatched Riolu. There was still thick egg white on him. Little Flame took out a clean piece of cloth and wiped Riolu's body. During this process, Riolu kept acting coquettishly with Little Flame. It seemed like he liked Little Flame very much.
"Riolu, let's go together with us!" Little Flame held an empty Poké Ball in his hand. Riolu lightly touched the Poké Ball. Just like that, he was captured by Little Flame.
Because he was carrying six Pokémon, the seventh Pokémon was automatically transferred to the professor for storage.
A few minutes later, Little Flame placed the egg that Xiaoming (the poor fellow whose 98 consecutive victories I had ended) had given him on it.
Very soon, a Squirtle came out from inside. He opened his eyes and recognized his father just like Riolu. Little Flame wiped his body and captured him as well.
Immediately after, the voice of a Rocket Team member came from outside the office.
"Sir Little Flame, Boss Giovanni has told me to bring you to participate in this job. I heard that it is very important." A Rocket Team member reported outside the door.
"Okay!" After Little Flame tidied up, he went out with the Rocket Team members to carry out a mission.
＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿
A few hours later.
Little Flame and the Rocket Team, which had about a hundred people on site, came to a small village.
"This is the situation. We have detected the appearance of the Three Divine Beasts Entei here."
Just when someone was reporting this matter to Little Flame, a Pokémon with red-brown fur walked out of the grass. Little Flame took a closer look and felt that this Pokémon was very familiar.
"Sir Little Flame, that is Entei."
"Immediately carry out the capture operation." Giovanni walked out of the crowd and directed the people on site. At this time, a net with electricity caught Entei. Entei wanted to escape but was shocked by the electricity. He showed a painful expression.
"You cannot hurt him! He is the guardian god of our village!" A little girl who was about 5 or 6 years old ran in front of Entei and protected him.
"Little sister, you don't need to worry about what adults do." A Rocket Team member rudely kicked her. At this time, Little Flame instinctively protected the little girl.
"Flamethrower." Immediately after, Charizard suddenly appeared in front of everyone. He attacked the person who had just rudely kicked the little girl. That Rocket Team member did not have time to dodge and was burned by the raging flames until he was only ashes.
"Little Flame, are you going against me?" Giovanni walked in front of everyone and said angrily.
"Although I have already promised to serve you, I cannot watch that little girl get bullied. I also do not want to see the Pokémon in pain!!!"
"In that case, those who block me will die!!!" Giovanni roared at Little Flame. After he sent out Nidoqueen, Charizard thought of the memory of being brutally abused before when he saw Nidoqueen. He took a few steps back.
"Charizard, don't be afraid. This is our battle."
(I will not let you get hurt like that again. I believe in my Charizard. I also believe in miracles.)
"Nidoqueen, Mega Punch."
"Charizard, fly up." When Nidoqueen was about ten meters away from Charizard, Charizard flapped his wings and flew into the sky, dodging Nidoqueen's attack.
"Charizard, Fire Spin." Charizard's eyes flashed with red light. Then he used his Fire energy to form a Fire Spin around Nidoqueen, trapping Nidoqueen in it.
"Nidoqueen, Hyper Beam." Little Flame did not expect that Nidoqueen was actually able to move in such a situation. Charizard was hit by the Hyper Beam and was falling.
"Charizard!" Little Flame immediately rushed over. He became a human cushion to cushion the damage for Charizard. However, Little Flame was injured because of this. A trace of blood was left at the corner of his mouth. Charizard looked at the blood that was flowing out of the corner of Little Flame's mouth with shame.
"It's okay. You can fight with confidence. No matter how many times you fall, I will catch you." Little Flame gently stroked Charizard's face.
"Haha, I'm laughing so much that my fur has fallen off. Kid, I'll let you catch until you die. Nidoqueen, finish him!"
Immediately after, Charizard's eyes turned blood-red. He angrily roared towards the sky. The Fire energy continuously gathered together. Then a Blast Burn was sent towards Nidoqueen.
The next second, Nidoqueen's Thunderpunch and Charizard's Blast Burn collided together and exploded, forming smoke, completely blocking everyone's sight. After the smoke faded, they saw Charizard standing upright on the field. Nidoqueen, who was on the side, had already lost her ability to fight and was lying on the ground.
"Charizard, we succeeded." Little Flame and Charizard hugged each other and laughed.
"He is very similar to how I was in the past. When did I actually start changing?" Giovanni looked at the youth who was hugging Charizard and Nidoqueen, who was lying on the ground.
After that, Giovanni silently walked in front of Entei and helped him untie the net.
"Little Flame, this battle was very exciting. At least I am a Gym Leader. This Pewter Gym Badge is for you." Giovanni held a Gym Badge in his hand and was about to give it to Little Flame.
"I will not accept the badge given by the Rocket Team's boss."
"Is that so..."
Giovanni called a Rocket Team member over.
"From today onwards, the Rocket Team is officially disbanded. Tell everyone that you have worked hard these past few years." "What? Boss."
After that, Giovanni looked at Little Flame with a smile on his face.
"Alright! Now the person giving you the badge is not the Rocket Team's boss, but a Gym Leader."
Little Flame took the badge from Giovanni's hand.
"This is also a Master Ball. Although there is only one, I hope it can help you. It's almost time. I will also start traveling with my Pokémon again. We'll meet again later."
"Mr Giovanni, thank you for taking care of me during this period!" Little Flame looked at Giovanni's back as he left and deeply bowed.
(Little Flame... I have remembered this name. In the future, you will surely become a great Trainer. By that time, I'm really looking forward to having another Pokémon battle with you.)
