Chapter 322: Life Flame, Flame Emperor's Protection!
Chapter 322: Life Flame, Flame Emperor's Protection!
The Three Holy Beasts, Entei!
According to legend, only a righteous trainer can encounter the legendary Entei, otherwise, the Sacred Flame of Entei will burn everything in its path.
It was clear.
Songye, who had just used his quality tactics, was not that "righteous" trainer.
Songye's gaze swept over Jinghe and Entei, and he felt a moment of realization.
Entei must have come to find Teacher Jinghe, a trainer with a deep bond with Pokemon.
Even from a distance, he could feel the scorching heat, but Teacher Jinghe, who was closer to Entei, remained calm and composed.
"As expected, Teacher Jinghe has earned Entei's blessing."
Unbeknownst to them.
The reason Jinghe didn't feel the heat was entirely due to the Ice Nine-Tails in front of him.
"Woof~~"
Ice Nine-Tails glared with an unfriendly look.
You're starting with hot air, what are you up to? Entei's deep eyes stared at Jinghe.
Jinghe also felt the restless "Rainbow Feather" in his inner pocket and took a deep breath.
"Can I borrow some fire?"
Songye: "???"
Entei's face exuded dignity, and suddenly it opened its mouth, and a wave of heat swept over them.
"Guka!"
Coalomass took a step forward, reaching the front, bearing the heat wave of Entei, and spoke solemnly.
Give me some face! Entei was slightly startled by his words.
It stared at Coalomass, who looked genuinely serious, and its expression became earnest as it nodded slightly.
"Hengga!"
Gramps' eyes widened.
Wow.
Even Entei is giving Coalomass some face.
Coalomass nodded as well, and the flames on his body suddenly rose, turning his already normal-colored body into a bright red hue.
Entei's fur also danced in response, and waves of heat continued to roll in.
"This is..."
Cold sweat trickled down Songye's forehead.
Teacher Jinghe was going to challenge Entei alone?
Right here?
Jinghe also paused for a moment.
Giving face meant a fight. No, a challenge?
Seeing Coalomass' stance, he was preparing for a battle with Entei.
Jinghe felt embarrassed.
You might as well not give face at all.
In the corner, a petite figure emerged from the shadows, scanning Jinghe, Coalomass, and Entei, revealing a thoughtful expression.
With the current situation, no one seemed to notice the quietly appearing Masha.
"Be careful later, if Entei doesn't show martial virtue."
Jinghe was giving instructions to the little ones.
"Then let's not show martial virtue either. When the time comes, follow my command, and let's take down Entei together!"
The odds were against them, even if they fought together, or even if Gramps Mega Evolved.
But they had to give it their all.
At worst, they could take a few hits and then run.
"Hengga!"
Gramps and the others nodded in agreement.
"Roar!"
Entei slightly raised its head, and the heat waves rolled, with flames gradually rising.
Coalomass faced Entei, and although his momentum had weakened, his attitude was unwavering.
"Guka!"
With a low roar, the flames on Coalomass' body became more apparent, even more intense than during the previous battle with the Cursed Doll.
"Kyuubi, help!"
"Bear Apprentice, guide me!"
Jinghe commanded while channeling the waveguide within him.
As a revered divine beast, Entei was bullying a Coalomass that hadn't even evolved yet.
"Then I can't blame myself for cheating!"
Waveguide, empower me!!
The surging waveguide continuously flowed into Coalomass' body, causing his color to turn bright red and his flames to surge.
Although this move was likely illegal in the Grand League, it didn't matter now.
"Coalomass!"
Jinghe shouted.
"Guka—!"
Coalomass roared, and his flames surged.
If someone were to observe closely, they might notice that Coalomass' flames pulsated like breathing, expanding and contracting.
"Hiss—"
Songye gasped.
A surge of killing intent!
Neither Teacher Jinghe nor Coalomass had used this move earlier.
So, they were going easy on him?
The next moment—
Boom!!
Entei unleashed a terrifying flame, and Coalomass, not to be outdone, released all the flames within him.
The feathers of the Fire Bird and the dark red fragments dimmed slightly.
The two flames collided head-on.
Boom! Boom!
Songye's Gramps' eyelids twitched.
The Gym seemed doomed.
Jinghe held his breath, focusing.
A clash?
Which side would prevail?
The entire Gym violently shook from the impact, and the already damaged wall completely melted away.
Debris was swept up, disappearing in an instant.
The commotion came and went quickly.
When the flames dissipated, only charred remains were left on the ground. Coalomass knelt on one knee, propping himself up with his arms, panting heavily.
The flames on his body had completely faded, and the fire on his head had become very weak, leaving him in a terrible state.
Across from him, Entei remained dignified, but his gaze towards Coalomass held a hint of acknowledgment.
Bear!!
Entei's body was engulfed in golden flames.
"Hengga!" Gramps roared.
It still wanted to fight! Let's get it!
In an instant, the little ones sprang into action.
But this time, the Flame Emperor's actions were surprisingly swift.
So swift that even Gramps thought it was afraid.
The golden flames landed on Coalomass, but instead of causing any burns or harm, they quickly vanished into its body.
The next moment, Coalomass flipped over and stood up, its wounds disappearing without a trace, and a fleeting golden flame could be seen at the site of its injuries.
"Life Flame? Flame Emperor's Protection?" Songye's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
Flame Emperor's Protection? Jinghe glanced at the Flame Emperor.
Similar to Suicune's "Blessing of the Northern Wind"? So, when Coalomass clashed with the Flame Emperor, it could be considered a test from the Flame Emperor?
And now, Coalomass has earned the Flame Emperor's blessing?
"Hengga~~"
Gramps, realizing this, happily patted Coalomass on the shoulder.
Thankfully, it was sensible.
The Flame Emperor nodded at Coalomass, gave Jinghe a deep look, and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment, Flame Emperor."
Jinghe suddenly called out to it.
"Huh?"
The Flame Emperor tilted its head slightly.
Jinghe coughed lightly, "I'm not joking, just borrowing some fire."
He gestured with his eyes to the wooden chips stored in the wooden boxes in the corner of the dojo.
Flame Emperor: "."
"Guka~~" Coalomass also chimed in.
"Huh?"
The Flame Emperor rolled its eyes in annoyance.
This was the first time it had seen a trainer and Pokemon climbing the ladder of success.
It opened its mouth slightly, and a ball of golden and red flames intertwined shot towards the wooden box in the corner.
Bear!!
The flames instantly enveloped the box.
Along with the rising heat, the wooden box turned to ashes, and most of the wooden chips inside were also consumed by the flames. Only a few pieces remained, like those at the bottom of the Flame Tower, bearing a flame.
As expected.
The flame on that piece of wood was related to the Life Flame.
"Thank you."
When Jinghe turned around, he found that the Flame Emperor had already disappeared.
"It slipped away so quickly."
As soon as these words left his mouth, Jinghe suddenly realized that the scene seemed
"Songye, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect to make such a mess of your dojo."
Unable to escape, Jinghe sincerely expressed his apologies.
Songye wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his hands, saying,
"Don't worry, Teacher Jinghe. Losses incurred during dojo battles are the responsibility of the dojo master."
If it weren't for him wanting to seek advice from Jinghe, the arena wouldn't have been damaged like this.
As for the Flame Emperor...
For Songye, who was passionate about the Flame Tower and the legendary Three Holy Beasts, meeting the Flame Emperor was a small price to pay.
His friend, Suijing, had been searching for Suicune, but hadn't even caught a glimpse of it.
"By the way."
Songye continued, "I hope you'll accept this badge and the move-learning machine."
He took out the "Phantom Badge" from the Yuanzhu Dojo and the move-learning machine "Spirit Stealth."
Got it.
Gramps' "Ninjutsu" gained another technique, the Thunderbolt Technique! Following "Uchiha Gramps," he earned the title of "Namikaze Gramps."
It was a move that their Ghost-type Pokemon hadn't mastered, so Jinghe didn't refuse.
As for...
This is a physical attack move.
No problem, their Gramps specializes in dual-wielding.
"Songye, are you sure you won't keep any?" Jinghe asked, looking at the Gigaforg, who was collecting the remaining wooden chips.
Songye shook his head with a smile.
"If it were before, these wooden chips might have had a little appeal for my Pokemon, but now..."
Not every Ghost-type Pokemon likes the Flame Emperor's flames.
"It's fine, I can just pick some up from the Flame Tower later."
What a guy.
No wonder he plays Ghost-type Pokemon.
"By the way, Teacher Jinghe, are you going to the Bell Tower?" Songye asked.
"Mhm."
Songye wasn't sure if the wood from the Flame Tower met the requirements for crafting the "Curse Armor," but the wood from the Bell Tower should be perfect for making the "Celebration Armor."
However, unlike the Flame Tower, which was unattended and neglected, the Bell Tower was well-preserved and inhabited by many monks.
"In that case..."
Songye gently rubbed his chin and looked up at the sky.
"It's getting late today, and the monks at the Bell Tower have probably finished their evening prayers. I'll help Teacher Jinghe inquire tomorrow."
"As a trainer who has earned the Flame Emperor's Protection, the monks at the Bell Tower should not refuse."
The Bell Tower, once a habitat for the Phoenix, is considered a sacred place that ordinary people cannot enter.
The monks at the Bell Tower have been striving to summon the Phoenix back.
In Songye's eyes, Coalomass, having gained the Flame Emperor's approval, should have no problem entering the Bell Tower.
"That's too much trouble for you," Jinghe said.
He had originally planned to use the "Rainbow Feather" as a means of introduction.
But he was a bit worried that his "Rainbow Feather" might have a hint of deception, and he wasn't sure if it would be discovered.
Now, he didn't have to worry about that.
The next problem that followed was—
How could he get some wood from the Bell Tower? Or...
Challenge the monks inside and accidentally knock some down?
"Who would be suitable?"
Jinghe's gaze shifted to his little Pokemon.
