Chapter 11 Talent: Entei
Charmander blinked its large blue eyes, looking around somewhat confusedly, until finally, its gaze fixed on Lin Mo's face.
It tilted its head, as if trying hard to distinguish something.
Lin Mo's heart pounded wildly, his throat felt as if it were blocked by something, and his eyes instantly reddened.
He reached out a trembling hand, wanting to touch Charmander, yet he was somewhat afraid, fearing this was just an illusory dream.
Charmander watched Lin Mo's outstretched hand; without hesitation, it moved its short hind limbs, approached in a few steps, and proactively rubbed its cheek against Lin Mo's finger.
A warm sensation traveled from his fingertip, instantly shattering the last trace of uncertainty in Lin Mo's heart.
"You're back... You're really back..." His voice was incredibly raspy.
The worry and longing accumulated over more than three years were no longer restrained at this moment.
He suddenly leaned down, carefully pulling the entire Charmander into his embrace, burying his face against its side, his shoulders uncontrollably trembling slightly.
Charmander also stretched out its short front claws, trying its best to hug Lin Mo back, letting out "wuu wuu" comforting sounds from its throat that carried a hint of crying.
The flame on its tail flickered even more violently due to its emotional excitement.
After a long while, Lin Mo finally managed to calm his surging emotions.
He straightened up, haphazardly wiped his face with the back of his hand, and revealed a tear-streaked but incredibly brilliant smile.
He gently stroked Charmander's head, "Alright, alright, it's okay now..." He whispered to comfort Charmander, words meant for the pokémon as much as for himself.
"We won't be separated again this time. I will definitely protect you; we must both live well, and live for a long, long time!"
Charmander nodded its head vigorously, and the flame on its tail shot up a bit with a "whoosh," looking full of Spirit.
Once his emotions stabilized, Lin Mo finally had the time to carefully check his partner's condition.
He focused his mind, and just like checking his own status panel, he directed his attention toward the Charmander in his arms.
Soon, a transparent panel similar in style to his own but with entirely different content slowly emerged in his field of vision.
[Spirit: Charmander]
[Talent: Entei]
[spirit power: lv10]
[Mastered Spirit Abilities: Scratch, Growl, Spark, Smokescreen, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Rush, Flare Blitz, Metal Claw]
Looking at the information on the panel, Lin Mo understood clearly.
Just as he had guessed, after following him to Douluo Star, Charmanderwas influenced by the rules of this World and transformed into his Spirit.
Perhaps because of its sudden destruction in the previous life, when Lin Mo first underwent Spirit Awakening, Charmander could only exist in an egg form, and it was only when his spirit power level reached rank 10 that he could hatch it.
In terms of its form of existence, it was somewhat similar to Yu Xiaogang's Luo San Pao; both were extremely special External Beast Martial Souls.
Its spirit power level was the same as his, also rank 10.
Lin Mo wasn't surprised by this, as the spirit power between him and Charmander was in a shared state.
However, the two words "Entei" in the talent column made Lin Mo's heart skip a beat.
This name sounded like it had a grand origin, but after combining it with the information transmitted by the panel, Lin Mo quickly figured out the specific effect of this talent.
Simply put, it could fuse different types of flames and turn their power into its own use.
Currently, Charmander only possessed one type of flame in its body, its innate "Blaze." If it were in the original Pokémon world, this Blazewould be called an Ability.
Lin Mo was very familiar with this Blaze state; when Charmander's stamina was depleted to a certain point, the power of fire-type moves would increase significantly.
It seemed that in this World, this Ability had been integrated into the initial flame of the "Entei" talent.
If the Entei talent could integrate more flames in the future, did that mean Charmander could possess the buffs brought by multiple Abilities?
"Entei... capable of fusing ten thousand fires..." Lin Mo murmured to himself, his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
The potential of this talent was beyond doubt; it could be said to be terrifyingly vast.
On Douluo Continent, fire-attribute Spirit Beasts with powerful flames were not few. If he could obtain their spirit rings or absorb other special flames in the future, to what extent could Charmander's Entei talent grow?
Next, Lin Mo's gaze fell upon the long list of Mastered Spirit Abilities.
Scratch, Growl, Spark, Smokescreen, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Rush, Flare Blitz, Metal Claw... Lin Mo looked at this row of skill names, his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he couldn't help but complain:
"Good grief, it mastered eight skills all at once? Douluo Continent isn't like a formal pokémon match; there's no four-skill limit here..."
This was undoubtedly a fantastic thing!
Charmander possessed a rich skill pool far exceeding that of ordinary Spirit Masters in the initial stage.
From close-range "Scratch" and "Metal Claw" to long-range "Spark" and "Dragon Pulse," then to interference-type "Growl" and "Smokescreen," and even powerful dash skills like "Dragon Rush" and "Flare Blitz."
Range, dash, interference, burst—it covered almost every aspect.
Moreover, Charmander would still be able to awaken new SpiritAbilities as spirit rings were added in the future.
According to the classification knowledge of Douluo Continent Spirit Beasts he had seen in the Nuoding Academy library over the past six months.
Based on Charmander's appearance and ability characteristics, it could roughly be classified into the category of "Earth Dragons," similar to species like the White Armored Earth Dragon.
However, Lin Mo knew very well in his heart that Charmander's Bloodline potential and actual combat power definitely far exceeded those ordinary Earth Dragon Spirit Beasts.
If nothing else, just that "Entei" talent and this long list of initial SpiritAbilities were enough to crush the vast majority of Spirit Beasts of the same Rank.
Lin Mo's excitement at Charmander's successful hatching could not be described in words.
This wasn't just finding back a partner he had shared life and death with, filling the void in his heart, but it also brought a qualitative leap to his own strength!
The Main Body Martial Soul was his trump card; unless absolutely necessary, he would never easily show it to others.
Before finding the correct Cultivation method for a Main Body Martial Soul and the path for a secondary Awakening, exposing twin spirits—especially such a top-tier Main Body Martial Soul—was too risky.
But now, it was different!
With the successfully hatched Charmander, he could openly display the powerful talent and combat strength he possessed!
Innate Level Six Soul Power, plus what seemed to be a Waste Martial Soul "Egg," yet it hatched such a powerful Beast Spirit.
These facts alone were enough to explain why he possessed decent Innate spirit power, and they were enough to let him go very far on the future path of a Spirit Master!
People would marvel at the uniqueness and power of his Spirit, and they would focus all their attention on Charmander.
Who would think that he had an even more powerful second spirithidden on him?
Charmander's appearance perfectly provided an excellent reason for his previous awkward situation of having "good talent but a Trash Spirit."
"Partner..." Lin Mo gently patted Charmander's head, a heartfelt smile appearing on his face, "From now on, I'll be relying on you to hold down the fort."
Charmander looked up at Lin Mo, seemingly understanding his words. It let out a vigorous "Wuu-ao!" cry, the flame on its tail burning fiercely, looking full of confidence.
It raised a front claw, a faint metallic luster flashing on it, as if saying: Leave it to me!
Feeling the soaring fighting Spirit transmitted from Charmander, Lin Mofelt a surge of heat in his heart.
This third life could only now be considered truly held in his own hands, and the goal of becoming a god and attaining immortality no longer seemed so out of reach.
