(2)A Champion Picked Me As Her Level 5 Pokemon, NOT KNOWING This CHARMANDER Loots RESHIRAM's Flame!
Main summary
Key takeaways
Storyline overview
- A level 5 Charmander is chosen by Jinxen, a champion-tier trainer, who expects her aloof Charizard to remain dignified—until a furniture purchase (a huge red nest) instantly ruins the protagonist’s “cold reputation” in front of her.
- At Jing Hang Academy’s freshman square, the protagonist uses a “free loot” table of energy cubes as a weaponized scouting tool, while navigating repeated “hands-off” romantic/guardian dynamics.
- Charizard proves far stronger than expected when challenged by Leang Chi’s level 43 Rhyperior.
- Charizard wins by converting bad type-matchup assumptions into tactics:
- Flying mobility and pressure management
- Reading move conditions (e.g., Earthquake requiring a grounded target)
- A high-efficiency planning synergy with Jinxen
- This also grants Charizard Lightning Rod, with a special ground-only utilization constraint that later becomes a strategic asset in the secret realms.
- After the freshman assembly, the school’s “Newcomer King” competition begins:
- A multi-region secret realm with overlords (silver badges) and a king-level boss (gold badges)
- Badges are tied to Pokémon; beating other trainers’ Pokémon can transfer their badges to the winner.
- The protagonist and Jinxen enter the Mist Zone (ice region) and initially lose time to fog misdirection. Still, the protagonist secures a bronze badge by carefully handling Cryogonal, learning a key rule:
- Badges can’t be pried off—you must defeat the Pokémon to remove its badges.
- They eventually defeat the Mist Zone overlord Aurorus, collect six silver badges, and then pursue more across regions with both combat skill and strict planning.
- Rival players try to steal badges—most notably Song Renu, who recruits alliances.
- Charizard’s power evolves from “strong” to “unfair,” including multi-type and cross-genre move behavior.
- In later stages (the Flight area), they uncover a Vespiqueen / Bug-Flying ecology fueled by stimulant aroma—revealing that an apparently impossible “Roost” approach and the evolution timing were engineered.
- A conflict escalates into coordinated crowd betrayal: after a public exposure post, many contestants attempt to gang up on Charizard.
- Charizard retaliates with ability-driven power spikes and by manipulating the rules (badge transfers and who truly controls them).
- Near the competition’s end, a “Sky Secret Realm” hidden layer appears, forcing evacuation.
- Despite the risk, Jinxen retrieves the sky-realm treasure, which turns out not to be a conventional reward but a nearly dead Dark Cry egg—dramatically raising the stakes.
- Dark Cry hatches and gains its forbidden exclusive move Dark Void. Charizard’s growth continues with dragon-type acquisition and legendary-style resonance effects, and the pair become targets of a wider campus-wide hunt.
- Finally, the elite class setup is revealed:
- The newcomer king winner must take a 6v6 match against the lowest elite student to claim that seat.
- Jinxen and Charizard prepare for it, including choosing Mega Charizard X.
Gameplay highlights & key tactics/tips from the subtitles
Secret realm / badge rules
- Badges attach to Pokémon, not trainers.
- You cannot remove a badge by prying it off—badges transfer only after defeat.
- Scoring at the timer stop matters, so mid-zone survival and efficient badge acquisition are critical.
- Team alliances dissolve when prize incentives reward solo progression (especially after mega prizes are announced).
Duel tactics (Rhyperior example)
Charizard wins despite a 4x rock advantage by:
- Using flying mobility to force Rhyperior’s boulders/rock throws to miss.
- Exploiting that Earthquake needs a grounded target, then manipulating positioning so the move fails.
- Turning move expectations into “math errors,” especially via special-move logic and timing.
Lightning Rod usage constraints
- Lightning Rod neutralizes Electric damage and boosts special attack, but:
- It only fully functions while grounded.
- Strategy implication:
- In planning, Charizard chooses engagements that either keep it grounded at key moments or convert Electric attacks into buffs.
Fog and information management
The Mist Zone teaches:
- Visibility + sound loss can break navigation.
- The correct counter is not speed, but finding bearings indirectly and managing exposure time.
Boss fights & positional play
- For overlords, the protagonist often wins by forcing the overlord’s move requirements to fail:
- Grounding, timing windows, barriers, interrupt windows
- They use an “overload then punish” approach:
- Bait the enemy into committing to a sequence you can counter reliably.
Cross-over move acquisition and “signature stealing”
Charizard repeatedly gains advantages by:
- Learning/copying signature moves from other species (e.g., “shuriken logic” adapted to fire).
- Using systems and bloodline mechanics to create moves that don’t exist in normal move pools.
Manipulating public perception in the competition
- Opponents spread claims that Charizard is the overlord to force targeting.
- Charizard responds with a meta strategy:
- Accept that crowds create opportunity
- Then punish them efficiently when alliances crumble or overcommit
Sky Secret Realm emergency logic
- A hidden layer appears only when a specific crack/hole event triggers.
- The described safe approach:
- Don’t rush first
- Let others test unknown hazards
- Decide based on whether the academy already knows (an unexplored vault ≠ “empty risk”)
