Meteorite's Powers

Floyd surveyed his surroundings but saw nothing.

"Let's go out here," Floyd suggested, then proceeded to Fraxure and carefully lifted him.

He and his Pokémon then walked outside, where they observed many large berry trees and some remnants of peeled berry skins.

"This must be the territory of Primeape," Floyd deduced, as he meticulously examined the surroundings.

He hadn't anticipated entering his enemy's territory, yet this time, remarkably, he encountered nothing there.

As he continued walking and scrutinizing the environment, he chanced upon a Tumblestone, prompting Floyd to become vigilant.

"Dratini, use Dragon Breath and break it!" Floyd instructed firmly.

"Ehew," responded Dratini, as he summoned Dragon Breath from his mouth and unleashed it.

Bang!

The Tumblestone shattered, yet no Pokémon emerged.

Relieved, Floyd approached, collected it, and then securely placed it in his backpack, resuming his survey of the surroundings.

Unexpectedly, he spotted a colossal rock. He and his Pokémon quickly moved toward it to inspect it closely.

He and his pokemon smelled a foul odor in the surroundings, covered their nose, and slowly approached the rock.

Upon contact, Floyd felt the rock's rough texture; it radiated a glow and displayed a variety of colors. Its dimensions were impressive, standing at 9 feet tall and 5 feet wide.

"This must be one of the fabled Meteorites," Floyd acknowledged, confirming the identity of this imposing object.

"Fra-xure!" Suddenly, Fraxure mumbled, slowly opening his eyes and surveying his environment before realizing someone was carrying him.

"You're awake? That's great. How do you feel? Are you okay?" Floyd asked with a smile, expressing his concern.

"Fra-xure?" Fraxure expressed his confusion, his last memory being his activation of the Dragon Dance and the image of a bloodied Floyd.

"You were remarkable. Your actions helped us all survive. Without you, we might not have made it," Floyd reassured him, choosing not to burden him with the entire story just yet, considering Fraxure had only just regained consciousness.

"Fra-xure," Fraxure exhaled in relief, relieved to see everyone was unharmed, then he was suddenly drawn to the enormous rock before him.

He released himself from Floyd's grasp and moved toward the rock.

"Fraxure?" Floyd, puzzled by his actions, silently observed, curious about what he would do next.

Fraxure silently touched the rock, and abruptly, an immense energy surged from his body.

"Fraxure?" Floyd, now alarmed, was about to rush forward when an intense roar erupted from Fraxure's mouth.

"ROAR!"

Several bird Pokémon, happening to fly by, quickly scattered in panic.

BANG!

The meteorite crumbled, fragments scattering across the ground.

Floyd and his other Pokémon, startled by Fraxure's sudden outburst, raced toward him, with Floyd calling out anxiously, "Fraxure!"

"What's happening?" Floyd observed Fraxure, noting his eyes were slightly red as he struggled to maintain control.

"Fra-Fraxure, Fra-Fraxure," Fraxure continued, visibly trying to restrain himself.

Floyd recognized his condition as similar to the earlier incident.

"Fra-xure, snap out of it!" Floyd urged loudly.

"Fraxure…" Fraxure did not react, continuing his struggle.

"Ehew~"

Abruptly, Dratini began exhibiting unusual behavior.

"Awrrrr!"

Then Growlithe...

"What's happening?" Floyd and his other Pokémon grew increasingly concerned about this unexpected situation.

"Goo~"

"Horsea~"

Soon, leader Goomy and Horsea also began to display odd symptoms.

"What is this?" Floyd was genuinely puzzled about the current events.

"Fraxure!" Suddenly, Fraxure calmed down and addressed Floyd.

"Fraxure, are you okay? What's going on?" Floyd inquired, deeply worried.

"Fraxure," (Master, I feel like I've learned something new.)

"Learned something?" Floyd, perplexed, quickly checked the stats.

He was astonished to find a change in one of the moves.

Pokémon: Fraxure (Shiny)

Level: 40 ♂

Type: Dragon

Ability: Mold Breaker

Moves:

Intermediate Level: Dragon Claw, Dig, First Impression, Breaking Swipe, Scratch, Slash, Taunt, Bite

Beginner Level: Dragon Dance, Protect, Dual Chop, Dragon Rage, Crunch, Swords Dance, Dragon Tail, Poison Jab, Dragon Pulse, Assurance, Scary Face, Outrage

Genetic Skill: First Impression

The notation next to the Outrage move had disappeared, indicating it was now successfully learned. Floyd felt a surge of joy upon realizing this desired move had been mastered.

"It's wonderful, fantastic, hahaha," Floyd laughed, delighted with this development, which had occurred much quicker than expected, especially compared to how long Dragon Dance had taken Fraxure to learn as an Axew.

Then, the evolution continued: Dratini released a jet of water from his mouth, striking the rock.

Bang!

Soon after, Growlithe followed, emitting a burst of fire energy from his mouth as he charged toward the rock.

Bang!

Floyd checked their stats: Dratini had learned Water Gun, and although it seemed somewhat redundant for Dratini, it laid the groundwork for higher moves like Water Pulse and Hydro Pump, potentially expanding Dratini's repertoire for future battles.

He then turned his attention to Growlithe's stats. While the Rock Smash and Outrage moves were still in parenthesis, Growlithe had acquired a new move - Fire Fang. This might be attributed to the abundant fire energy Growlithe had absorbed, aiding in the learning of new moves.

Subsequently, the four Goomys exhibited abnormalities in their bodies, followed by Munchlax.

Then, leader Goomy's body emitted a surge of purple energy, and he successfully learned Acid Armor.

Horsea was next, as she unleashed a torrent of water from her mouth, striking the meteorite rock.

Bang!

Horsea successfully mastered Water Pulse, and Floyd noticed an improvement in her mastery of Water Gun to an intermediate level.

What an incredible reward!

Then, the youngest Goomy emitted a purple spray from his mouth, which was the Acid Spray. This was followed by the second eldest Goomy mastering the Iron Tail Move, the third eldest learning the Absorb move, and the fourth eldest acquiring the Protect move.

Subsequently, Munchlax began rolling towards the Rock.

Bang!

Munchlax had successfully learned the Rollout move.

A large number of rock fragments scattered around them as each Pokémon started demonstrating their newfound abilities.

(Meteorites Rock: Did I do anything wrong? T_T)

Floyd, observing his Pokémon mastering their new moves, felt immensely rewarded. After experiencing a near-death situation earlier, this was a welcome and uplifting development.

"I'm so glad! This is fantastic! Everyone, you did an excellent job," Floyd expressed, feeling this was one of the happiest moments he had experienced.

"Fraxure,"

"Ehew,"

"Awrrr,"

"Horsea,"

"Gooo~" *5

"Munchlax!"

Each Pokémon joyously rushed to Floyd and hugged him.

"That's great, once we return, I promise to make the most delicious meal for everyone!" Floyd declared, patting each of them. His Pokémon responded with happy sounds.

While Floyd was basking in this joyous moment, his attention was suddenly drawn to a familiar stone within the Meteorites.

…

"Professor, I'm so relieved you're here, and everyone else too," Hu Tianyi expressed his gladness upon seeing Kanraku and the others.

"ROAR!" The strongest Gyarados suddenly roared at Hu Tianyi.

"Blastoise!" Blastoise quickly intervened, and the Gyarados halted.

"What? Wh- Why are they here?" Hu Tianyi was taken aback upon seeing the two Gyarados.

"He's asking about his daughter, who is one of Floyd's beasts," Kanraku explained. "Brother Hu, could you tell us where Floyd is?"

"Should I explain it now?" Hu Tianyi inquired.

"Explain as we move. Every second counts when saving lives," Ivan interjected promptly.

"Ah," Hu Tianyi hesitated momentarily upon hearing Ivan's interruption.

"Yes, Ivan-san is right; we must hurry. Let's move and you can explain on the way," Kanraku urged, quickly moving forward, followed by the rest of the group.
