Elf: Creating the Strongest Champion in History

After obtaining the boxing badge, Daigo handed Kokodora and Armored Bird to Miss Joy at the Pokémon Center for treatment.

During the treatment, Daigo spoke to Hibiscus using the Pokémon Center's phone.

He informed Mu Jin about his recent situation and the boxing badge he had just obtained.

"Well, if you need anything, just let me know. I have a meeting later, so that's it for now."

After the call ended, Daigo's originally happy expression slowly froze.

He looked at the boxing badge in his hand and silently put it back into the badge box.

Daigo retrieved Armored Bird and Kokoda, and went to the port to buy a boat ticket to Kaina City.

Then they returned to the Stone Cave area for training.

"Kokodara, Armored Bird, thank you for your hard work in today's battle." Daigo smiled and put his hands on the heads of the two Pokémon.

Because of Kokodora's height, Armored Bird has to lower its head to let Daigo touch its head.

"I won't train your bodies today." Daigo said, reaching into his backpack to take something out.

"Kukua!" Kokodora looked a little anxious looking at Daigo's actions.

Don't forget the promise you made before the battle this morning!

"Of course I won't forget." Daigo chuckled, took out a piece of high-quality iron ore from his backpack and handed it to Kokodora.

"Kuao Kuo!"

Kokodora happily kissed the iron ore directly on the ground.

It was worth it to get hit by the opponent!!!

"Armored Bird, this is a metal film, would you like to try it?"

Daigo pulled out a metal-shelled cylinder from his bag and opened it to reveal a translucent dark grey membrane inside.

Logically speaking, this item, the Armored Bird, is edible, and is essentially made of special minerals that contain sufficient steel energy.

"Huh?" The armored bird tilted its head and tentatively extended its beak into the metal film container.

Tear off a portion of the metal film, chew it in your mouth and swallow it.

"Yo!"

The Armored Bird clearly felt the metal film decomposing inside its body, and the energy released then filled its body.

He immediately destroyed most of the metal film, then closed his eyes and began to digest the sudden increase in steel energy in his body.

"Kuakua?" Kokodora, who was chewing iron ore in his mouth, looked at the reaction of the Armored Bird and made an unclear sound.

Is that little thing delicious?

I really want to try it...but I haven't finished my iron ore yet.

Daigo turned around and looked at Kokodora's blank gaze, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you something to eat."

"Kuao Kuo!"

Huhu——

The Poké Ball on Daigo's waist shook. It was Metal Monster's Poké Ball.

Seeing this, Daigo opened Metal Monster's Poké Ball and released Metal Monster.

As soon as the metal monster came out, it shook its head to shake off the magnetic ore on its head.

"I've told you several times that I didn't lock the Poké Ball. You can come out anytime you want." Daigo touched the metal monster's head lovingly.

To be honest, the fact that Metal Monster could only grow to this point in one year is not because of its lack of talent.

It's just because of its racial defects that its IQ is not high and it takes time for it to understand things.

Otherwise, Daigo could spend money to raise the metal monster to a quasi-king level or above.

Most late blooming Pokémon need to store a lot of energy in order to evolve, which makes their growth period particularly long.

Metal Monster is an exception, but after it finally evolves into Metagross, its IQ will rise sharply, and at that time nothing will be able to stump it.

Metal monsters rarely absorb items such as Metal Film or Steel Gem that contain sufficient steel energy. It is a difficult problem to learn how to absorb them, and they cannot be eaten.

"Mea da..." The metal monster scratched his head embarrassedly.

Then, anxiously trying to express something to Daigo, he tapped his other arm with his fingers.

"You mean, your strength can't be improved anymore?" Daigo roughly guessed what the metal monster meant.

After all, the metal monster started to impact the next level a few days ago.

In fact, there is no problem of not being able to improve strength, it’s just that the strength improves too slowly, making people feel that there is no improvement at all.

This is the bottleneck period.

At this time, a little bit of external help is often needed, such as a big outburst in battle, which may suddenly break through this so-called bottleneck period.

Or maybe it's evolution.

After evolution, a huge amount of energy will burst out in a very short period of time, and then one's own strength will become weak. If one fails to consolidate one's own strength, one may fall back to the level of strength before evolution.

Although it sounds similar to cultivating immortals, the principles are similar.

If you think about it carefully, Pokémon can use its own energy to release energy waves and other moves, which seems to be impossible to consider with the realistic thinking of the previous life.

"Mea!" The metal monster nodded.

Even though this situation had happened before, I could still feel the cumulative improvement in my strength, but this time it was a little too slow.

So slow that I can't even feel it.

"It's okay, this is normal."

Daigo released the two iron dumbbells. After all, his plan was for this moment.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have to spend a high price to buy a magical candy.

"Now is the time for you to evolve, Metal Monster!"

The two iron dumbbells didn't quite understand what this meant, but the metal monster knew, because it was the result of its "merger" with the other iron dumbbell that made it look like this.

"Iron Dumbbells, do you want to become one with the metal monster?" Daigo asked the two Iron Dumbbells for their opinions first and explained the meaning of evolution to them in full.

If they disagree, Daigo will send the dumbbells back, replace them with other dumbbells, and ask again.

Each Pokémon has the right to decide the path it wants to take.

I had asked this question once when I was choosing these two iron dumbbells, but at this time, it would be safer to ask again.

"Boom!"

The two iron dumbbells gladly accepted it, and the eyes at the front of the body formed a crescent shape.

"Thank you." Daigo smiled calmly and placed his hands on the heads of the two iron dumbbells.

"Metal monster, come on!"

"Meaaaaa!"

Two iron dumbbells were leaning against the metal monster's arms, waiting for Daigo's instructions.

"Carefully feel the connection between you two, and transfer the energy in your bodies to each other until they merge."

The metal monsters and the iron dumbbells closed their eyes and began to feel each other carefully.

About half an hour later, the bodies of the metal monsters and the iron dumbbells simultaneously emitted a dazzling white light that was still dazzling in the sunlight.

"Successful?!" Daigo, who had been with them for half an hour without moving a step, was a little excited.

"Even though I've seen it once, I still can't help but feel excited..."

The dazzling white light attracted Kokodora who had just finished eating, and the Armored Bird, which had closed its eyes to absorb the extra energy in its body, also opened its eyes.

The white light on the metal monsters and iron dumbbells became brighter and brighter, and their appearance began to gradually change.

"Kuao Kuo?"

"Yo?"

This is... evolution?!
