Pokémon's Easy Journey

"Nibby Gym Leader?" Nana repeated the disciple's words.

"Is Xiaogang here too?" Xiaoxia said, recalling Xiaogang's face.

"It's true that I haven't seen Xiaogang for a long time. I really miss him!" Xiaozhi said.

"Are you friends with Nibi Gym Leader?" Muramasa said.

"Yes, we traveled with him for a while." Xiaozhi replied.

"That's a good time to catch up on old times and visit my forging base at the same time!" Muramasa invited again.

"Then it's better to be respectful than obey orders!" Xiaozhi replied.

Soon, Xiaozhi and the other three followed Muramasa through the dojo and arrived at the forging base.

dong! ding! Dang!

There are all kinds of Pokémon and workers here, and the hot temperature of the forge makes all the Pokémon and people present sweat.

Several shirtless disciples were swinging the hammers in their hands, constantly hitting the red steel.

"This is the forging base I opened." Muramasa introduced.

At a glance, Xiaozhi saw the dark-skinned Xiaogang, naked from the waist up, pulling the bellows in a forging furnace.

"Hey, Xiaogang, long time no see!" Xiaozhi quickly ran over and shouted.

"Pika!!" Pikachu was also very happy to see Xiaogang.

Xiaogang stopped the lever in his hand, touched the sweat on his forehead, turned around in surprise, and found Xiaozhi and the others.

"Ah? Xiaozhi, you guys are here too? Long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Xiaogang!" Xiaoxia also said hello.

"Xiao Gang, what do you want to forge here?" Xiao Zhi asked.

"It's like this. The Pokémon League's assessment is coming soon. In order to improve my strength, I heard that Master Shiba has a metal membrane here that can evolve the Big Rock Snake into the Big Steel Snake, so I'm here." Xiaogang said. As he spoke, he recalled Master Shiba's words.

"Yes, we are the largest supplier of metal products in the Johto area. You can find all the metal products on the market here, and look over there..." A disciple pointed to the gathering place of disciples wearing dojo uniforms. .

"Over there?" Xiaoxia asked doubtfully.

"Because of my ace Pokémon Giant Claw Mantis, most of my disciples own a Flying Mantis, and they are working together to forge metal molds there," Muramasa explained.

"The body shape of each flying mantis, the size of the sickle, and various details are different, so the metal films are tailor-made, and metal molds are usually made in cooperation."

"But does Mr. Xiaogang want to forge the metal film himself?" Nana said.

"Why not buy one?" Xiaoxia wondered.

"The metal film needs to cover the entire Pokémon to be able to play its role. Xiaogang wants to create a metal film suitable for his Big Rock Snake, right!" Xiaozhi said while watching the explanation of the metal film from the side of the forging furnace.

"That's right, as a Pokémon breeder, of course you have to forge a suitable metal film for your Pokémon!" Xiaogang picked up the hammer and hit the steel again.

"Xiao Gang, let us help you!" Xiao Zhi suggested.

"Thank you very much." Xiaogang responded.

Soon, Xiaozhi and Xiaogang, who had taken off their clothes, were beating the red steel on the forging table. Nana kept pulling the bellows, and Xiaoxia controlled the red-hot molten iron to enter the container.

With the cooperation of the four people, in just a few days, the metal film suitable for Xiaogang and Big Rock Snake was perfectly created.

"Master! It's finally done!"

As Nana kept pulling the bellows, her face had turned dark.

"This is also a necessary step for you to become a Pokémon Master! Wash your face quickly!" Xiaozhi said while wiping the black hair on Nana's face.

"I'm really tired!" Xiaoxia was also very tired. "But you are still alive and kicking."

"That's okay." Xiaozhi said calmly.

"Then why are you so tired when juicing? Huh?" Xiaoxia said with a change of tone.

"What did you say? It's not good for others to hear..." Xiaozhi quickly covered Xiaoxia's mouth and said.

.............

At this time, everyone gathered, ready to witness the evolution of Xiaogang's Big Rock Snake.

The big rock snake has been covered with a metal film, and the huge metal film is like a coating, covering its whole body.

Especially the head and tail of the big rock snake are shining with crystal luster.

"Great, the big rock snake can evolve!" Xiaoxia said very happily.

"Big rock snake!" Xiaogang looked at the big rock snake covered with metal film with hot eyes.

Soon, with the exchange of dojo instruments, the evolution of communication began.

After streaks of white light, the Big Rock Snake's body began to change, and finally turned into a body of steel!

The big steel snake has a gray body, red eyes, a tail similar to nails, and four protrusions on its body, in pairs.

"Is this the Big Steel Snake?" Nana saw the Big Steel Snake for the first time and took out the Pokédex again.

Big Steel Snake, Iron Snake Pokémon, has steel and ground attributes.The body trained in the high pressure and high temperature underground is harder than any metal.

"The size is not much different from Master Shiba's." Xiaozhi looked at Xiaogang's big steel snake and recalled the appearance of Master Shiba's big steel snake.

"Great, Big Steel Snake!" Xiaogang was very excited.

The big steel snake also responded to Xiaogang, slowly extending its head in front of Xiaogang, and Xiaogang stretched out his hand to caress the big steel snake.

"Congratulations, Xiaogang!" Xiaoxia congratulated.

"Big Steel Snake is really an incredible Pokémon, just like you, right? Authentic!" Muramasa looked at the warm scene and said to the Giant Pincer Mantis standing beside him.

The Giant Pincer Mantis nodded slightly in response.

"Okay, in order to celebrate the evolution of Xiaogang's Big Rock Snake into the Big Steel Snake, let's go to town for a big meal!" Xiaozhi suggested.

"Great, Master, a feast! A feast!" Nana shouted with joy.

"Thank you!"

The happy time is always short, and it is time to say goodbye.

"Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, and Nana wish you a happy trip. I will go back to Nibi City first." Xiaogang said while sitting on a bus.

"Take care!" Xiaozhi said waving his hand.

"When you go back, you must take more care of my sisters and the others!" Xiaoxia said.

Xiaogang smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Xiaosheng often goes to Hualan Gym to watch water ballet!"

"Hehehe..."

In this way, Xiaogang's big rock snake evolved into a big steel snake, and Xiaozhi and the others' journey was not over yet, heading towards Huipi Town...
