Thank you 🙂 ——————– Retrieving the minerals and rare rocks sent from home from his room at the Pokémon Center, Leo went to the relatively open and sparsely populated backyard.
Separated from the battle zone, he found an empty clearing and released Onix.
“Onix, get ready to evolve!
First, we need to reserve enough energy!” “Roar~!” Nodding to show it understood, Onix lowered its body and waited quietly.
Leo poured all the ores and rocks onto the ground, signaling Onix to absorb them all.
Then, he took out Pokémon food and the obtained Primal Stone Essence.
He squeezed a drop of the thick stone milk into an empty basin, diluted it with water, mixed it with the Pokémon food, and placed it in front of Onix.
“After you finish absorbing them, eat all the food too.” “Roar~” “I’ll give you a massage first!
Onix!” He took out a steel brush and polished Onix’s body back and forth.
Closing its eyes to absorb the minerals, Onix let out a happy, low rumble.
The surrounding rare minerals and rocks gradually fused into its massive body, occasionally flashing with a metallic luster.
Waves of energy fluctuations surged over its body, and its rock-composed frame emitted clacking sounds.
After a long time, seeing that Onix had finished absorbing the massive amount of resources, Leo put down his steel brush and pointed at the Pokémon food, signaling it to eat it all.
The food, mixed with a drop of Primal Stone Essence, flowed into its body as Onix ate, fundamentally improving its physique and enhancing its potential.
As a Rock-type treasure, it began to exert its effects.
As time passed, Onix let out a low groan.
The pain, like sand worms biting, intertwined with the massive Rock-type energy surging forth, erupting throughout its entire body.
“Hold on, Onix!
You must fully absorb this energy!” Seeing that it was enduring pain, Leo felt a pang of heartache, but for Onix’s future, he still had to urge it to bear it.
“Roar~” Barely responding to Leo’s encouragement, Onix persevered, enduring the discomfort within its body and finishing all the food.
Seeing this, the boy took out the prepared Ultra-lightweight Metal Coat and fitted it over Onix’s rocky head.
Then, taking out the Luxury Ball, Leo said seriously, “It’s time, Onix!
Return to your Poké Ball!” “Roar!” Nodding, it returned to the Poké Ball in a beam of red light.
The boy quickly ran back to the lobby.
Ignoring the curious gazes of the people around him, he hurried to the video phone and dialed home.
It connected quickly.
“Is that Leo?
Mom hasn’t even congratulated you on getting your first Badge yet!” The screen flashed, and his mother, Holly Flint, appeared on the screen with a smile.
Without having time to chat with her, Leo spoke rapidly, “Mom, Onix is about to evolve!
I’ll transfer it home, and then you transfer it right back to me!
Please!” “It’s evolving?
Alright, transfer it over right now, I’m right next to the machine.” Seeing her son’s urgency, Holly didn’t say much and quickly agreed.
“Okay, thanks Mom!” “Why are you being so polite with your mom!” She scolded him with a laugh, pretending to complain.
Leo didn’t delay either.
With a chuckle, he immediately placed the Poké Ball on the trading machine next to the phone.
After selecting the address, with a flash of white light and flickering arcs of electricity, the Poké Ball vanished.
Immediately after, in the video feed, Holly turned away and soon returned holding a Luxury Ball, gesturing to Leo to show she had received it.
She then placed the Poké Ball on their home’s trading machine.
Very soon, it reappeared in front of Leo at the Pokémon Center.
“Alright!
The transfer is complete.
Go check out Onix’s changes!
Take good care of yourself!” Seeing her son excitedly pick up the Poké Ball, Holly didn’t chat much.
After a brief instruction, she hung up the phone as Leo grinned foolishly.
Thanking his mom in his heart, his movements weren’t slow.
Returning to the backyard from before, Leo threw the Poké Ball with an expectant heart.
“Come out!
My partner!” White light flashed!
A massive figure gradually stretched and took shape within the light.
Gradually, a colossal body with a silver-gray sheen and a heavy black metallic luster coiled in the slightly cramped courtyard, looking like a giant beast.
Its eyes were primarily red, and its tail resembled a mace!
Together with its head, it was composed of nine diamond-hard iron stones.
Its head was massive, gradually getting smaller section by section toward its tail.
On the third, fifth, and seventh segments of its steel body, there were two massive protrusions extending to the sides, resembling six external legs!
Its flat head possessed a giant mouth.
The original straight-line scar now ran upwards along the top of its crimson eyes, adding a touch of ferocity to its already fierce expression!
This was Steelix!
However, Leo’s Steelix looked somewhat different.
On the dark iron stones composing its body, diamond-like, crystal-clear patterns appeared irregularly, spreading across its entire body like totems, giving it a profound sense of mystery.
Compared to a normal Steelix, its massive body was 11 meters long, and its weight had reached a staggering 500kg!
Yet, as its body twisted, it lacked no agility, showing no signs of clumsiness whatsoever.
Was this the effect of the Ultra-lightweight Metal Coat?
Furthermore, with long-term consumption of the Primal Stone Essence in the future, Steelix’s size would likely become even more massive!
