Chapter 847 Goodbye Ash and the Other Two
Chansey's song still echoed in the ward as the black Charizard slowly closed its eyelids and its breathing became steady.
He lay on that specially made hospital bed, the flames on his tail softening considerably.
Li Shuwen glanced at his sleeping face, then turned to Joy Sun and said, "Charizard was locked up in the base for too long, so it's very sensitive to enclosed indoor environments."
"Although the ward is clean, it has walls on all four sides and scientific instruments. When he wakes up and sees this environment, he may be easily stimulated."
Joey Sun nodded in agreement: "Indeed. Let him live in a geothermal cave."
"There is a naturally formed cave on the north side of the valley, with magma veins underground. The temperature is suitable and the space is open."
Ji Ke had already turned and run out: "I'm going to clean a clean room!"
Joey Sun brought over two recliners. "You two must have been busy since yesterday, so you should get some rest."
Li Shuwen and Shirona sat on the recliners, closed their eyes, and began to rest.
The ward fell silent immediately.
About an hour later, the black fire-breathing dragon on the hospital bed suddenly tensed up.
He suddenly opened his eyes.
A crimson light flickered in his pupils. He propped himself up, his gaze sweeping across the white ceiling, white walls, and white sheets.
Everything seemed to be telling him: you're locked up again, back in the cage.
A burning sensation surged deep in his throat, and as he opened his mouth, flames coalesced between his teeth.
Li Shuwen opened his eyes.
He raised his right fist, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
The black fire-breathing dragon's body froze.
The flame went out with a "poof" from his mouth.
He closed his mouth, his Adam's apple bobbed, and the crimson in his amber pupils faded visibly.
He slowly crawled back onto the bed, his movements very gentle, like a cat that had been warned not to get on the sofa.
Ji Ke's footsteps came from the end of the corridor, getting closer and closer.
"The cave is here! The cave is here!"
Ji Ke pushed open the door to the ward, panting heavily.
"The third cave on the north side has good geothermal heat, a large space, and has already been covered with dry grass, so it's ready to move in at any time."
Li Shuwen stood up and waved to the black fire-breathing dragon.
"Keep up."
Charizard got up from the bed, hesitated for half a second, and then followed Li Shuwen with his head down.
Ji Ke led the way, guiding them through the valley.
The sunlight streamed down, making it warm and cozy.
Fire-breathing dragons can be seen everywhere along the way, on the stone walls, rock ledges, and on the ground.
A massive fire-breathing dragon crouched on a protruding rock, basking in the sun with its eyes closed, the flames on its tail tilting slightly in the wind.
Another one was wrestling with its companion. The two fire-breathing dragons were on all fours, head to head, their hind legs pushing against the ground, grinding the gravel under their feet with a cracking sound.
Another one was lying on the ground, dozing, its tail trailing behind it. The flames were almost touching the ground, and the surrounding grass was slightly curled from the heat.
The black fire-breathing dragon's gaze swept over its kind. Its pace slowed slightly.
Ji Ke turned around and smiled at him: "A large number of fire-breathing dragons live here, and we all learn from and grow together."
"Once you've recovered from your injury, you can also spar with everyone."
The black Charizard slowed its pace a little.
The tip of his tail unconsciously curled upwards slightly.
We've arrived at the cave.
The cave ceiling is about three or four meters high, and the cave walls are dark brown rock layers with a warm luster.
Beneath our feet lay dry sand and thick hay, which felt soft to the touch.
A slight warmth rose from the ground, not hot, but like being warmed by a constant-temperature heater, making you feel warm from the very core of your being.
The black fire-breathing dragon stood at the cave entrance, feeling the geothermal heat rushing towards it.
His pupils dilated slightly, and his chest heaved deeply.
Then he went into the cave, his limbs touched the warm ground, and he lay down on his stomach.
His chin rested on the haystack, his tail stretched out naturally, and flames burned quietly at the tip of his tail.
His eyes went from being fully open to half-closed, and then from half-closed to completely closed.
He fell asleep again.
This time, his brows were completely relaxed, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly droopy, like a cat warmed by the sun.
Li Shuwen stood at the cave entrance and watched him for a while before turning around and walking out.
He arrived at the supply area in the Fire Dragon Valley and picked out a few materials.
Fire-elemental tree fruits, rock salt, a type of red moss found only in valleys, and some basic grains and protein chunks.
He went to the kitchen, chopped, mashed, and kneaded the ingredients according to the specified proportions, and made a small plate of light red energy blocks.
Joey Sun walked over, looked at the finished product in his hand, broke off a small piece and put it in his mouth.
She chewed twice, and her eyes lit up.
"The proportions of the cooking are very precise," she swallowed, then broke off another piece. "The moss has just the right density, so it doesn't mask the sweetness of the fruit, and the salt content is also controlled within the range suitable for the fire dragon's metabolism."
"After taking this, his recovery speed will be much faster. Mr. Shuwen is indeed amazing."
Li Shuwen picked up the plate: "There are still a few days' worth left. I'll write down the recipe for you after I'm done."
The black fire-breathing dragon was awakened by the aroma of food.
He opened his eyes and saw Li Shuwen standing at the cave entrance, holding a plate. The energy blocks in the plate glowed with a pale red light under the warm glow of the cave.
Charizard slowly got up, walked to Li Shuwen, and looked down at the plate of food.
He didn't eat it right away.
He looked up and glanced at Li Shuwen's face.
Li Shuwen didn't urge him, but simply pushed the plate closer to him.
The fire-breathing dragon lowered its head and tentatively picked up a piece.
He chewed twice and then stopped.
It looks pretty delicious?
He chewed twice more, and then the tip of his tail twitched violently.
Delicious! Absolutely delicious!
Then he lowered his head and devoured all the energy cubes on the plate in a few bites.
After finishing his meal, he looked up at Li Shuwen, crumbs still clinging to his lips.
Li Shuwen reached out and gently brushed away the crumbs from the corner of the black fire-breathing dragon's mouth.
"No. You haven't recovered yet, you can't eat too much."
The black fire-breathing dragon paused for a moment.
He looked at Li Shuwen's face; the man's eyes were gentle, making him feel a long-lost sense of care.
The Charizard opened its mouth slightly, as if it wanted to say something, or perhaps it wanted to beg for another bite, but in the end it did nothing.
It simply lay down again, resting its chin on its front paws and flicking its tail gently.
Ji Ke's communicator rang.
He answered the call, listened for a few seconds, and looked at Li Shuwen and Cynthia:
"There's a challenge coming from the gate. A trainer with a Charizard wants to enter the valley to train."
Cynthia stood up: "Let's go see how the challenge in the Fire-Breathing Dragon Valley is conducted."
The sun was shining brightly at the main entrance.
Three people stood outside the iron fence at the entrance of the valley: a black-haired boy, a tall young man with squinting eyes, and a girl with an orange ponytail.
Beside them stood a fire-breathing dragon, its orange skin gleaming in the sunlight, its body sturdy, and its eyes bright.
It's Ash and his two friends!
When Ash saw Li Shuwen and Cynthia walking over, he paused for a moment, then waved vigorously:
"Brother Shuwen! Miss Cynthia! What are you doing here?"
Li Shuwen briefly explained the situation of the black fire-breathing dragon.
Ash's expression shifted from surprise to anger, and he clenched his fists: "Team Rocket! They're doing bad things everywhere, it's outrageous!"
Ji Ke had already circled around to the front of Ash's Charizard.
He carefully examined it from various angles for a while, reached out and touched the muscle lines of the Charizard's forelimbs and back, then stood up and shook his head.
"It looks impressive, and it's been carefully raised. But it's too small; it won't amount to much in the Charizard Valley."
Brock frowned: "Ash's Charizard was indeed small at first, but after going through so many battles with Ash, it has now grown to a standard size."
"This physique isn't bad, is it?"
