Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

The Dominic Mine transit area is a place where, in addition to busy miners, many adventurers and trainers gather to take a break and change locations via the passageways.

The person in charge continued his work as usual. Perhaps he was very lucky, because the Shenzhou Alliance person he had made an exception to help out of respect for saving his friend Henry did not encounter the heir, Young Master Ian.

And when Young Master Ian returned a while later, he didn't say anything. Apart from his angry expression that the bodyguard had abandoned him and run away, nothing special happened, which relieved the person in charge.

This outcome is the best for him.

But could it be said that fate is playing tricks on him? Two days ago, while he was resting, he naturally heard about the Great British Alliance. His homeland had mastered controllable Dynamax and finally had the power of the giant beasts under its control.

The person in charge naturally watched the final match with his excited colleagues in the mine. It wasn't until he saw that very familiar young man appear on the screen and defeat Prince William and his two companions with overwhelming force that the person in charge fell silent amidst his colleagues' curses.

So, that person was such a powerful trainer?

Seeing his country lose, the person in charge was certainly unhappy, but he was also somewhat relieved that he had met and even communicated with such a powerful trainer.

Suddenly, a greeting brought the person in charge back to reality from their reverie.

"Boss, another trainer is going through the abandoned tunnel."

The person in charge was taken aback when he noticed that one of his subordinates was leading a seemingly ordinary trainer, probably in his twenties, accompanied by a Leafeon.

When his eyes met the man's pure golden pupils, the person in charge felt the man looked somewhat familiar. However, duty called, he stepped forward to shake hands and asked, "Hello, Mr. Trainer. You should know the requirements for entering the tunnel through Dominic Company's transit channel, right?"

The man nodded slightly, took out a stack of banknotes and said, "Of course, I've already prepared the toll. I plan to use passage number eleven."

Chapter 715 The Connection Between Destructive Genes and Super Evolution

Even though the person in charge was exceptionally efficient, the procedures still took more than ten minutes to complete.

Su Hao, who identified himself as Arthur, then realized that the person in charge had essentially given him a huge advantage back then.

After Su Hao's figure disappeared into the distance as he entered Tunnel No. 11, the person in charge suddenly realized something. If he had to say what impressed him most about the trainers from the Divine Continent Alliance, it would definitely be those golden eyes with a unique temperament that no one else could imitate, even if they wore contact lenses of the same color.

Could it be that that person is...?

The person in charge looked towards Tunnel 11 with some concern. If it really was that person, he hoped that he hadn't released that strangely colored, silvery-white giant monster.

After all, today Young Master Ian hired a new bodyguard and went to Tunnel 11 to catch a suitable Pokémon.

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

"It is indeed very different from Cave No. 7."

Su Hao, still maintaining his disguise, surveyed his surroundings, silently comparing the differences in his mind.

After passing through Tunnel No. 7, you will see a huge cavern with many levels, inhabited by many wild Pokémon.

After passing through Cave 11, not only are the wild Pokémon much stronger than those in Cave 7, but the surrounding environment is also not as spacious as a cave. Instead, there are countless interconnected passages of varying widths, resembling a maze.

Ordinary people who enter this place not only have to face wild Pokémon that may suddenly appear from time to time, but also have to be careful to leave marks to prevent themselves from getting lost and trapped here.

At this moment, Su Hao's Pokémon had changed from Yeevee to Metagross.

Now, apart from Metagross, Motostoke, and Zeraora, all the Pokémon in the team have been promoted to Gym Leader level. Even Incineroar, which was promoted to Gym Leader level just over a month ago, is already aiming for the next minor level.

The Motor Lizard is an exception; its level cannot be increased at all.

However, Metagross and Zeraora can take advantage of the abundance of wild Pokémon in this area for actual battles and level training.

"Comet Punch!"

Metagross, using magnetism to accelerate, delivered another heavy punch, and the behemoth crashed to the ground, finally defeating the incredibly strong Aggron that had blocked its way.

The deafening clang of steel clashing against steel carried far through the narrow cave. As Su Hao helped the exhausted Metagross recover its strength, he grumbled, "Who knows which wild Pokémon will be attracted by this sound now? Let's hurry up and recover."

"No tower."

Metagross nodded calmly.

While treating the monster, Su Hao released his Aura, using it to probe Metagross's physical condition.

Well, Metagross's strength is undoubtedly on the rise thanks to his relentless feeding of apples made of rare metals and the investment of various resources.

Steven's Metagross training notes also record that Metagross can be trained to be a dual-wielding Pokémon.

Unlike games that only consider base stats, real Metagross not only possesses a terrifyingly powerful steel body, but its computer-like brain also endows it with extraordinary mental abilities.

Moreover, the biggest difference between Su Hao's Metagross and Mewtwo is the destructive genes left in its body by Mewtwo.

Mewtwo has already eliminated the side effects of Destroy Gene. Even though Metagross can no longer control Destroy Gene, it will definitely not have any adverse effects on Metagross.

This is the most significant difference between power obtained by chance and power personally bestowed by the original being.

In the Pokémon anime movie Genesect the Faster, another Mewtwo, even without a Mega Stone, like Latias and Latios, was still able to Mega Evolve on its own. Su Hao thought that perhaps that Mewtwo controlled the power of Mega Evolution by destroying genes.

So... could Metagross's Mega Evolution also be achieved by mastering the power to destroy genes?

Eye

Grandpa Xia Jie still hasn't found the Mega Stone for Metagross. If you want Metagross to Mega Evolve like Lucario, the only options are to exchange for a Mega Stone in the system shop or destroy its genes.

If the Destruction Gene is related to Mewtwo's two Mega Evolution forms, then the following conjecture can be made.

The Destructive Gene contains the ability to greatly enhance Metagross's mental strength, or to use mental power to greatly enhance Metagross's physical strength.

Perhaps, by using Destruction Gene to enhance itself to a certain extent, Metagross will be able to access the power hidden deep within its own genes, achieving Mega Evolution without needing Mega Evolution or Evolution Key Stones, simply through Destruction Gene.

Thinking of this, Su Hao felt a surge of excitement.

After finishing the treatment, Su Hao patted Metagross's iron head and plopped down on it: "Let's go, let's move on."

"No tower..."

The Megalodon let out a muffled groan and continued flying in the direction Su Hao had indicated.

........

After walking for a few minutes, as they passed a fork in the road, Metagross suddenly warned, "No tower."

Its scattered spiritual energy detected that multiple life forms were moving in their direction not far away.

"I noticed it too." Su Hao nodded slightly, his expression becoming somewhat serious.

His waveguide also detected signs of life, and not some wild Pokémon, but humans heading in that direction.

At this point, the drawbacks of the narrow passage become apparent.

Unlike the huge underground cavern that Tunnel No. 7 leads to, there are almost no hiding places here, and the two Pokémon that can help them hide in another dimension, Dragapult and Marshadow, are not here, making it difficult to avoid an encounter.

However, considering that he still retains the appearance of a British person, Su Hao thought that there shouldn't be any problem in exchanging glances with the other party, and this is also the only way to the Mineral Kingdom.

However, before Su Hao could make a decision, a dark gray Pokémon with bright red eyes suddenly emerged from the ground not far away.

Su Hao was stunned, and said in disbelief, "Coco Doraemon... and it's a different color?"

The Cocodora seemed flustered, as if it were being chased. It glanced at Su Hao and assumed that Su Hao was also one of the two men's accomplices. In its panic, it dug a hole in the ground and fled in another direction.

At that moment, a somewhat arrogant voice rang out: "No matter what, you have to bring Cocodora to my young master Ian!"

Chapter 716 Enemies meet on a narrow road

The sound grew closer, and within a few breaths, the light from the flashlight shone over, revealing Su Hao and Metagross, two "uninvited guests" who were too lazy to turn on their flashlights and relied on their aura and superpowers, respectively.

Ian, who was commanding, froze on the spot when he saw Su Hao and the Metagross. His beautiful female bodyguard was also surprised to run into them here, and her expression changed repeatedly.

Beedrill, exuding a chilling aura, was accompanied by a large, late-stage professional-level beedrill. Judging from its sharp, gleaming stingers, it was clearly well-trained.

The fact that they could train such a fragile and common Pokémon as Beedrill to this level can only mean that one of the two trainers who trained Beedrill is quite skilled.

Ian shone his flashlight directly into the eyes of Su Hao and Metagross. An ordinary person would have been affected by his unreasonable behavior, but neither Su Hao, whose eyes were covered by a waveguide, nor Metagross would be affected by a mere flashlight.

Su Hao frowned. His previous experience in Orudron City, coupled with Ian's arrogant attitude and offensive behavior just now, had caused his impression of Ian to plummet to zero.

Upon seeing Ian first sizing him up, and then noticing the greedy look in the Metagross's silvery-white eyes, Su Hao knew they couldn't agree to nod to each other and they parted ways.

Even so, Su Hao still intended to give Ian another chance. As long as Ian restrained his greed, Su Hao, who planned to operate covertly, had no need to intervene.

But after Su Hao nodded slightly to the other party and brushed past the two with Metagross, Ian's imperious voice rang out: "Hey, did I say you could leave?"

The female bodyguard's eyelashes twitched, and the Beedrill, which hadn't moved at all, vibrated its back wings, its thick stingers blocking Su Hao and Metagross's path.

Su Hao sighed inwardly, turned to Ian, and asked in confusion, "What important matter do you two have that requires such drastic measures to stop me?"

Su Hao pointed at Beedrill's two needles: "Can I assume you want to harm me and my Pokémon?"

Ian's voice, suppressed with greed, rang out: "Did you just see a heterochromatic Cocodora?"

Su Hao spread his hands, looking innocent: "I saw it. After it spotted us, it immediately moved to another place, dug a hole, and ran away."

“Young Master, we have indeed found a hole that matches the size of Coco Dora’s body. The soil is still in the state of being just dug out, so this person should not be lying.”

The female bodyguard's voice rang out at the same time, and for some reason, she seemed to be speaking up for Su Hao as well.

"Just like she said, I'm not trying to steal the prey you're chasing. Before it digs too far, hurry up and chase it, maybe you can still catch it."

After saying that, seeing that Beedrill didn't make a move, Su Hao ducked to avoid Beedrill's two stings and led Metagross inside.

“Stop him, Sofia.”

“Yes, young master.” The female bodyguard, whom Ian called Sophia, sighed inwardly at Ian’s tendency to cause trouble and could only helplessly say, “Beedrill, don’t let them leave.”
