...
From the Ono's mouth.
Natsu got useful information.
No matter how much spar he collected, it was useless because he had no its core.
Colorful spars.
Natsu thought before, he had accumulated over 200 spar, but he couldn't put all of them on Latios, could he?
Over 200 spar, can Latios take them all?
But obviously more than 200 spar definitely wasn't enough to reach the pillar.
What if you collect more than 300, 500, or even 1,000?
Natsu didn't react until he heard Ono about colorful spars.
Turns out that's the point.
But with his current strength, without Dragapult, it would be foolish to want to defeat that Elite level Hydreigon.
Except.
When all of his main Pokémon have reached quasi-Elite level.
These are just a few possibilities.
If it says.
A group of Gym Leader level Pokemon, combined with a refined and sophisticated tactical system, can defeat a quasi-Elite level Pokemon.
Then a group of quasi-Elite Pokémon, wanting to beat Elite-level Pokémon with their cooperation and tactical system, is undoubtedly much more difficult.
And this difficulty increases in multiples as the Pokémon's strength increases.
Natsu still remembers.
Originally in Saffron City.
Agatha even used her Legion of Ghosts to deal with the rampaging Shiny Charizard.
Even though that was due to Shiny Charizard eating a lot of Pokéblocks and potions, his fighting prowess was beyond his own, and Agatha had to devote some of her energy to taking on other Elite level Trainer Pokémon, so this was extremely difficult.
But that Charizard didn't go beyond the Elite level either.
Even Agatha almost let him.
You know, it's Agatha.
The Elite Four in the Kanto Region, which is almost the same as the Champion's existence.
She fought so hard.
As a Pokémon's strength increases, the gaps between each power level will become larger and more pronounced.
If Natsu wants to deal with that Elite Hydreigon, it might not be enough for his main Pokemon to be quasi-Elite.
It also depends on what level Hydreigon is at Elite level.
Of course.
Not that he didn't stand a chance at all.
At least.
Hydreigon, who combined the Attributes of Dark-Type and Dragon-Type, was quadrupled with Fairy-Type moves.
If Fairy-Type abilities can be used reasonably, coupled with Audino's "Misty Terrain", there is still a certain possibility.
But all the premise is,
All main Pokemon must be quasi-Elite.
At least.
Alakazam , Togekiss , Aegislash must reach quasi-Elite level.
Watching Ono and Kommo-o "wrestle" in the open to test their strength, Natsu ponders the feasibility of the matter.
'Possible. Kommo-o can also be counted as a fighting Pokémon.' thought Natsu to himself.
Coincidentally, Ono's target is also Hydreigon.
There is a possibility of cooperation.
After a while.
"Ono, do you know anything about that rocky area? Why are there so many Wild Pokémon there, and they aren't weak."
Seeing Ono and Kommo-o who were sitting on the ground panting, who entered a pause, Natsu couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know."
Ono blinked and looked at Natsu very calmly and simply.
Natsu: "."
Okay.
He seemed a little taken for granted.
"However, the people from the rock area will fight every three days. Awu and I also fought with them a few times, but they were too many, especially the three of them who attacked you, they were very united, so we stopped." Ono tilted his head and said thoughtfully.
"Fight? Where?"
"Well, you should go one step further. There is a place like a bowl. This is a very strange place, isn't it, Awu?"
Ono hesitated.
Yes, with the vocabulary she has, it is difficult for her to explain what she wants to express.
As she spoke, she made a gesture.
Actually Natsu was a little curious about Ono.
Since Ono had no contact with her own parents, who did she learn this language from?
There's absolutely no way it's self-taught?
Perhaps, there were some things he didn't know.
But that's not the focus now.
His brows furrowed slightly after listening to her.
A place like a bowl?
"Are you talking about the abyss?"
"umm"
"Okay, tell me the general direction." Natsu pressed his forehead.
"Are you leaving? The three big men just now were amazing. If it wasn't for the bad guys coming all of a sudden. They are really very difficult to deal with them."
It seemed that Ono saw the power of the three Aggrons.
"I want to go and see, maybe I can get something." Natsu said calmly.
"Then keep walking along this path, and you should be able to get out eventually." Ono pointed down one of the tangled and complicated tunnels for Natsu.
Natsu even wonders if She and Kommo-o dug it.
"Oke."
Natsu turned and left without hesitation.
In order to get the colorful spar from Elite Hydreigon, it is very important to power up the Pokémon first.
Profit.
After a month of training, coupled with the continuous high-intensity battles over the past few days, Pokémons were digesting and learning fast, and they were already not far from the quasi-Elite level.
"Then you have to be careful with that bad guy, it might come again!" Ono reminded.
Natsu had walked some distance and just waved his back at her.
Sitting on the ground with Kommo-o, watching Natsu leave, Ono supports her head.
"Awu, do you think there really is a world outside? Aon said someone like me appeared."
"Komm——" Kommo-o growled softly, nodding hesitantly.
Ono's eyes grew brighter and brighter.
What's the outside world like?
"Then we should hurry up and exercise. Aon said that only by defeating the bad guys and getting the colorful stones can we have a chance to leave."
Ono was full of enthusiasm.
"Komm!!"
Kommo-o is also not to be outdone.
They were dissatisfied with the tyrannically abused power of Hydreigon.
At the same time.
Kommo-o can also feel clearly.
Since he had eaten those delicious cubes one by one from Natsu in the last few days, the energy in his still body seemed to start to stir.
Meanders along the tunnel pointed by Ono.
When it comes to the end.
When Natsu came out of the cave, he was still in the rocky area.
Look up.
It's easy to find what Ono said, indeed it's like a "bowl".
There are many Wild Pokémon nearby.
Most of the more mild-mannered Rock-Type Pokémon, they're still pretty safe because they don't use "Sweet Scent" honey anymore.
Natsu releases Pokemon again.
Seeing that Natsu was fine, they immediately relaxed.
Eevee jumped straight into Natsu's arms, her head slightly arched into his chest.
After cheering up the Pokémon, Natsu said to the side: "Dragapult, can you win Hydreigon?"
Dragapult slowly appeared silently.
"Bartya."
While looking at Natsu suspiciously, she nodded without the slightest hesitation.
"Don't worry, I don't want you to take action, I just want to know the power of that Hydreigon." Natsu explained with a smile.
Dragapult was taken aback, then lightly said a few words.
"Bart ya—"
Although Hydreigon made Dragapult feel a bit threatened.
But that's because Dragon-Type Pokémon and Dragon-Type Pokémon already have a relationship of mutual restraint, as well as Dark-Type Hydreigon's restraint on the Ghost-Type.
Just as Dragapult meant.
It can hurt, but Hydreigon is sure to lose, and it's kind of no tension.
That's what Dargapult said, and Natsu had something in his heart.
Hydreigon still had an advantage over Dragapult in Attributes, but what Dragapult said was "painful" and unharmed.
It can be seen that the strength gap between Hydreigon and Dragapult is still rather large.
This made Natsu relax a bit.
At least.
There is still a chance to fight.
If the Hydreigon was as strong as Dragapult, he would give up without a second thought
Because even though his main Pokémon are promoted to quasi-Elite levels, Natsu doesn't think they can be Dragapult's opponent.
Sometimes Natsu even wonders if Dragapult is above Elite.
It's just that he doesn't know much about this level, so he can't judge.
But since Dragapult can take down Hydreigon so easily, Natsu thinks he and the Pokémon will try harder, maybe a few fights.
Go down the steep rock slope and come to the basin.
"Ouch-"
Aegislash narrowed his eyes comfortably after arriving at the basin.
The body, which had been fully armored, didn't look like much had changed, but the band with white silver coating on the surface suddenly flickered.
Noticing the change in Aegislash, Natsu narrowed his eyes.
Aegislash coating is no ordinary coating.
This is the special Metal Coat that Regigigas seeks to create Registeel. It is buried in the depths of the earth. After being tempered and tempered by nature, it is a "Metal Coat" that combines the power of nature and Regigigas.
And here, there is a reaction.
Of course.
There must be some good stuff hidden in this rocky area.
"Zaaam."
Alakazam pointed at a corner of the basin where a dozen Pokémon lived.
For an outside group like Natsu, they watched vigilantly, but didn't take the initiative to attack.
Bastiodon!
A very docile Stone-Type and Steel-Type Pokémon that likes to live in groups and care for their special offspring, Shieldon.
It is an extinct Pokémon in the Pokémon world, similar to the Tyrantrum that Natsu conquered.
Speak.
Was Bastiodon also a "dragon"?
Suddenly the thought flashed, and Natsu couldn't help but laugh.
Immediately waved his hand.
"It's fine, they didn't take the initiative to attack."
As long as they don't take the initiative to provoke them and don't pose a threat to their child Shieldon, Bastiodon rarely takes the initiative to attack.
Alakazam relaxed a bit when Natsu said that.
rumble-
Suddenly.
The ground started shaking violently as Natsu and the others approached the center of the basin.
The Bastiodon in the distance sensed the movement and pushed the Shieldons back into the cave behind them, and used his face like a wall to block the mouth of the cave.
While Natsu and the others were encased in Psychic Alakazam, they slowly left the ground.
the!
See you.
A large crack appeared on the ground.
Heat waves assault the senses.
Soon after, with a flash of silver light, a huge monster emerged from the gap, and roared at Natsu and the approaching Pokémon.
"Stteeeeee-!!"
This time it was really a big monster.
This was even bigger than the three Aggrons he had encountered before.
Nearly ten meters large body, sturdy body, pieces of metal linked together, bloodshot eyes and spike-like tail.
"Steelix"
Evolution of Onix, a Steel-Type and Ground-Type Pokémon.
Natsu remembered.
It seems that Alliance hasn't announced the conditions for Onix to evolve into Steelix.
It may be known but not announced, or it may be unknown.
Steelix Wild exists, it's just very, very rare.
A bit like Milotic who went with him before.
Very rare Pokemon.
Because it is very difficult for Onix to evolve into Steelix without human intervention.
The most normal and most popular way of evolution is with "Metal Coat".
Onix can evolve into Steelix by coating his body from the outside in with a "Metal Coat", causing his body to turn from stone to metal.
But for Onix in the wild.
If there is no luck to meet the formed "Metal Coat", they also have other ways to evolve.
First of all, Onix needs to find a piece of land or mining area that is rich in metal elements.
Then dig down to a very deep level.
In the end, Onix silently buried himself deep in the ground.
Through the power of nature, the extrusion of the earth, and the rich metal elements, let his body change bit by bit.
Evolution is more difficult but also more thorough than using "Metal Coat" evolution.
After all, a "Metal Coat" was formed through this state.
Onix simply put himself in such an environment, using himself as the ore and the power of the earth as the hammer.
Through the "tempering" of the earth.
Switch from rock to metal.
This is the way of evolution from the inside out.
Therefore, it is more thorough than using "Metal Coat", and the strength is undoubtedly stronger.
How long this process lasts, no one knows.
Some Onixes succeed and evolve into Steelix.
But most Onix have to fail.
Can't stand the terrifying pressure from the ground, can't stand the long wait, can't stand the pain caused by body transformation.
Finally turned into stone and became part of the earth.
So most of Steelix, when it was discovered, was deep underground.
Like the one in front of him that came out of the ground.
Looks fierce and strong.
But it looks like Steelix isn't far from underground.
Combined with Aegislash's reaction when he just arrived at the basin.
Natsu had reason to suspect that there might be a pure natural "Metal Coat" buried beneath this basin.
And their number is not small.
Instead Onix has evolved into Steelix, but can also make Aegislash react.
Even.
Maybe more than just a "Metal Coat".
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many Rock-Type Pokémon in this area.
Natsu rubbed his chin as he looked down at the ground where Steelix had appeared who was still steaming.
"Anyway, let's deal with this Steelix first."
It's not easy to deal with.
Because Steelix's physical defense is stronger than Aggron.
But like Aggron, it has obvious drawbacks.
And this Steelix is..
Quasi-Elite
"Hands on."
As Natsu whispered.
Pokemon kicks into action.
