Chapter 43: Mega Evolution Stone

According to Dowsing Machine's prompt, Julian went to three more places and the treasures there were buried underground. Fortunately, Julian bought an shovel.

Of the three things dug up, two were broken hard rocks and one was a damaged Miracle Seed, all of which were worth about a hundred thousand, not very high.

Metang doesn't eat ore and Meltan looks down on these two broken stones and the damaged Miracle Seed is even more useless to them.

Julian naturally took the three things away. After all, they were all dug up, so he couldn't bury them again.

There are days and nights in the secret realm and the time is synchronized with the outside world. It was past one o'clock in the afternoon and Julian had just eaten the compressed biscuits.

Then, as he walked with the Dowsing Machine to the northwest of the ruins, the red dot displayed on the Dowsing Machine this time was twice as large as the red dot on the Insect fruit.

Insect fruit is already considered a relatively precious treasure and now this treasure is much more precious than the fruit.

Passing through the forest and the lake, Julian came to the rocky area and the Dowsing Machine showed that the treasure was in this area.

The rocky area accounts for about one-sixth of the entire secret realm, which is much smaller than the forest that occupies most of it and the lakes is also much larger than it.

Not long after stepping into the rocky area, a Geodude jumped out, made a threatening action, and was knocked away by a Metal Claw from Riolu.

According to the two-year-outdated Guide, there are some Rock and Ground Type Pokémon inhabiting these Rocks.

The more common ones are the Geodude and Graveller and the evolution of these two is relatively rare.

If you're lucky, you might even encounter Onix hidden underground.

Compared to the two above, Onix is ​​a rare Pokémon and it's evolution Steelix is ​​definitely a powerful pokemon .

And Onix's big body is very popular with some trainers who like big and fierce Pokémon.

The Dowsing Machine showed that the distance was still about 100 meters. Julian looked around and saw no sign of Pokémon except for the exposed rocks around him.

If this treasure is guarded by Pokémon like the previous Insect Fruit, then as long as you keep going, you will see that Pokémon.

With this thought in mind, Julian moved forward slowly, followed by Metang and Riolu, the two Pokémon also looked around vigilantly.

As soon as a Pokémon pops up, they will be resolved quickly.

As the distance kept getting closer and he reached approx ten meters but still didn't see any signs of Pokémon, Julian breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this treasure should not be something that can be eaten to improve the strength and aptitude of Pokémon but a treasure buried in the ground like the broken hard rock that Julian dug up before.

"It's here"

The arrow representing himself on the Dowsing Machine has overlapped with the red dot. Julian looked at the Ground under his feet and there was no doubt that the treasure was buried underneath.

In this area, even the ground was rock, so the shovel was definitely not enough. Fortunately, Julian was well prepared.

He took out the pickaxe from the system space and swung it hard towards Ground.

"This is really a firm step on the road to mining like champion Steven" Julian couldn't help but laugh at himself.

It's not that mining is bad. On the contrary, if you know how to mine, you can get a lot of money.

Various ore treasures that are very old and evolution stones like Fire Stone and Moon Stone can also be obtained through mining.

In the anime, Steven likes to give people various evolution stones and even gives a set of Mega Evolution stones to players, who are from Hoenn Region.

This is the glory of a Miner, the pride of a Miner.

Thinking of this, his energy immediately rose, the iron pickaxe kept swinging down and the gravel fluttered. Julian's strength was not low but this ground was rock after all.

After more than a dozen swings, his arm were overwhelmed by the vibration force from the iron pickaxe.

Well, if he dug at this speed then if this treasure is buried one meter below, he can probably dig it until tomorrow.

"Riolu use Dig, just dig down but slower"

Julian suddenly saw Riolu beside him, facepalmed and immediately commanded, for fear that Riolu would dig too fast and break or miss the treasure, so he let it dig slower.

The hard Rock Ground became unusually soft under Riolu's Dig and he soon disappeared in front of Julian.

After a minute or so, Riolu emerged from the hole.

"How is it, did you find anything?" Julian asked eagerly.

As soon as Riolu opened his palm, he saw a thumb-sized orb appearing in Riolu's hand and there was a spiral pattern in the orb.

"F***, Mega Evolution Stone"

Seeing this, Julian couldn't help but swear.

Although he knew the treasure in the ground would be precious. After all, the red dot displayed by the Dowsing Machine was twice as large as the red dot of the Insect fruit but he didn't expect it to be a Mega Evolution stone.

This thing is now a priceless existence and it is basically only circulated among top trainers. If you are a pseudo-Elite, you might not have enough qualification to have one. Of course, if you have a strong family background, that's different.

As we all know, there is a huge gap between the pseudo-Elite and Elite,-- the pseudo-champion and champion.

But if your Pokémon strength is pseudo-Elite peak and if you can Mega Evolve, then you can enter Elite level for a short time and the same is true for pseudo-champions.

The energy carried by the Mega Evolution stone can greatly increase strength of Pokémon in a short period of time but the higher the level, the smaller the increase.

But if it's a match between trainers of similar strength and the opponent's Pokémon has the corresponding Mega Evolution stone, the scale of victory will definitely tilt in his favor.

"You two quickly sense whether you have any attraction to this," Julian said.

Metagross and Lucario are both Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution. If this Mega Evolution stone is really one for them, Julian feels that he must be possessed by lady luck today.

As a result, the two Pokémon shook their heads in unison, apparently not their Mega Evolution stone at all.

Julian checked it with his probing eyes and it turned out to be Steelix's Mega Evolution stone.

Although it's not Lucario's, it doesn't have much impact. Steelix is ​​also a steel-type and it is also one of Julian's target Pokémon to capture in the future.

But why not Metagross' Mega Evolution Stones, because he has that one at home from his parents.
