----Base of fire secret realm 2 days later---
Ryan wakes up grumpy because he spent the whole last two days getting chased by random fire type Pokémon.
Not a single pokemon caught Ryan's eye to catch, even though he new catching wasnt allowed.
'Well at least i got a abilty capsule fragment from that box'
Ryan opened the box he got from fighting magbys yesterday and had gotten an ability capsule fragment.
"Ryan whats wrong?"
Ryan just coming out his tent sees yuki worried about and the face he was making.
"Sigh nothing. I'll see you later yuki im going out again."
"Ryan are sure? We only have today left to be here. Are you sure you dont want to be apart of the classes they teach?"
Apparently some of the staff taught classes when they had time about fire type Pokémon.
"Thanks but ill pass."
Leaving yuki to go into the ryan decides to do the one thing he's not supposed to do....
Go to the charcific vally.
---- charcific vally-----
Ryan had froakie on his shoulder as he they were coming up to vally.
The statues of charizards could be seen from where they are almost a mile away.
"Woah those are huge."
"Fro."
As they were admiring the art carved in the mountain they heard an explosion not to far away.
"Lets go froakie."
Ryan wanting to investigate runs toward the explosion, froakie jumped off Ryan's shoulder and runs with him.
They hear the sounds of pokemon and ryan was shocked at what he saw.
A dark black charmander with blood red eyes making it look like it came straight out of the fires of hell itself.
A regular charmander is around .6 meters tall but this one was a full meter tall at least.
Also something strange with this charmander is the dark blood red flames that it's tail produces.
'A shiny Pokemon!'
Surrounding the shiny charmander were 5 other charmander all attacking it with anger.
Each one looked young but were at least level 15 except one who was bigger then the rest.
This charmander was sitting at around a meter tall, same at the shiny charmander and its level was 17.
Name: charmander
Level:17
Gender: Male
Type: fire
Ability: blaze
Potential:Elite four
Looking at ryan could see it had a potential of elite four level pokemon.
surprising though was the black charmander with a low level of 12 but a potential higher then the rest.
'Holy shit that charmander has champion level potential.
Name: Charmander (shiny)
Level:12
Gender: Male
Type: fire
Ability: blaze+
Potential: Champion
Ryan wondered what the plus sign meant on its blaze ability but that didnt matter at the moment as he received a quest.
Ding- mission: save charmander!
Reward: Blue Box
"Char! Char! Charmander!"
The large charmander yells at the black charmander pointing at it with distain.
The black charmander says nothing but growls in defiance, glaring at all of them.
Seeing its glare all the charmanders realease flames from there mouths at it.
Seeing it in danger ryan steps in to help it seeing it to injuried to move in time.
"Froakie use quick attack and get charmander out of the way."
Froakie with its Superior speed takles charmander out of the way suprising the others.
Ryan then runs infront of both his arms out to show he won't let them path.
"I dont know what your problem is but you won't hurt charmander anymore!"
The black charmander looks at the back of this stranger wondering why it would protect it.
The large charmander undeterred by the human unleashes a flamethrower at ryan.
Unflinching ryan prepares to take the flamethrower for froakie and charmander.
With a gush of wind sees a charizard with a pink bow on its head taking the hit not suffering much damage.
"Thats enough!"
Looking behind him ryan sees a women with long green hair and green eyes glaring at the charmander responsible.
'Wait thats Liza from the anime aswell?'
"Go back to vally now or else charla will make you."
The charizard apparently named charla roared at the young charmander as they had no choice but to retreat.
Ryan took a chance to look at how strong this charizard was and realized how glad it was on his side.
Name: charizard
Level: 68
Gender: Female
Type: fire
Ability: blaze
Potential:Elite four
'Woah this charizard is really strong.'
" Hey kid what are you doing this far away from base, your apart of that class here on a field trip aren't you."
"Yes im sorry about that, you can punish me later we need to get charmander help."
Ryan worried about the barely awake charmander rushes to its side.
Liza sighs and doesnt push him as she aswell is worried about charmander.
Looking him over ryan uses his breeder knowledge to assess its injuries which luckily wasn't that bad.
"Charmander doesnt seem to have much physical injuries but its energy seems completely exhausted."
"We need fire type energy cubes to replenish it or else charmander might not be able to recover."
Though suprised by Ryan's knowledge looks over charmander and sees he's right.
"Your right but I dont have any fire type energy cubes on me there all the back at base."
"Charmander doesnt have time for us to get back there."
Ryan looks around and sees some occay berries among others.
"Quick get me some of those berries ill make some energy cubes right now."
"Kid your joking? You know how to make energy cubes. Even if you could we dont have the proper equipment."
"We don't have time to argue charmander is losing its life by the second so help or get out of my way!"
Liza was shocked at being yelled ay and her charizard glares at him ready to burn ryan to a crisp.
Charmander was having a hard time keeping its eyes open and its tail flame slowly starts dying. Froakie sat next to it holding its hand to make sure it stays awake.
Looking at this stranger charmander wonders again why ryan is so worried about it.
"Alright kid ill trust you this once, what do you need."
"Bring me all the berrys over there in that bush."
Ryan seeing he has Liza's trust brings out some plain energy cubes he had extra on him.
Liza and her charizard bring a pile of berries as ryan cuts open the energy cubes.
"These won't be as effective as regular fire type energy cubes but if i combine my energy cubes with these berries, we should be able to give charmander the energy it needs to hold on for awhile longer."
Liza watched, impressed by the knowledge and focus this student had.
Ryan mushed together berries and put them inside the energy cubes before closing them up.
The energy cubes were a little ugly but it would do the job as froakie helped charmander sit up.
"Charmander I need you to swallow these alright."
"Char."
Charmander opens its mouth as ryan puts the energy
Within seconds of digesting the energy cube the flames on charmander tail grows brighter and bigger.
"Sighs good, it looks like charmander will recover."
"Thats good, to be sure lets head back to base to get him looked at."
"Thats a good idea."
"with the proper equipment I could make much better energy cubes for charmander to gain its strength back."
"You every fly on a pokemon kid?"
"Ah no I haven't why?"
"Hahaha well your about to. Carla lets go girl."
Liza's charizard bends down as Liza gets on its back.
Froakie sensing this will be any unpleasant experience jumps back into its pokeball.
'Traitor'
Ryan grabs charmander and right after gets grabbed by charizard.
"Huh?"
Ryan confused why it grabbed him wasnt prepared as one flap of its wings and they were in the air.
"What the fuck!"
"Hahaha sorry kid there wasnt enough room back here for both of us."
" Liar!"
Liza shrugged as charizard flys through the sky toward base.
----- base headquarters
"Out if the way!"
Liza runs into base with ryan behind her with charmander still in his arms.
They run past his class who were suprised at what ryan was carrying.
"Woah what pokemon is that?"
"I think thats a charmander."
"But charmanders are orange not black?"
Ryan ignores all them as they get to base makeshift pokicenter.
"What happened?"
A 30 somthing year old man with blue hair and glasses rushes over from his desk.
"Charmander got into another fight the others."
"Wait this happened before?"
"I see, put him on the table so I can take a look at him."
Ryan still confused as to how they know who this specific charmander puts him down on the table.
Looking over charmander the doctor sighs a breath of relief.
"It looks like charmander will recover just fine with some rest."
"Its injuries weren't bad but charmander depleted more energy then it should so I had to give him some makeshift fire type energy cubes."
"That was good thinking."
"Im suprised you know how to make energy cubes."
"Figured it would save money and besides learing breeder skills is important for a trainer."
"True true, many kids these days forget that."
"Thanks but tell me more abkut charmander, you guys make it look like this has happened before."
Liza sighs as she debates whether to involve a student in her problems.
"Thats because it has."
"You see, all the Pokémon in the charcific vally believe charmander is cursed because of its appearance."
"Its like that with most pokemon who have genetic defects like charmander."
"Gentic defects?"
"If dont know 90% of shiny pokemon are more likely to die within the first 3 years of its life."
"Huh?!"
