Trainer on Dragon's Back

“I haven’t decided yet!”

"..."

"Why do you ask?"

"I was wondering, maybe the Crystal Rock Snake's evolution method was wrong, and the metal film on its body was made by you, right?" Bai Ze pointed out bluntly.

"I did buy this metal film, but I haven't seen the Crystal Onix evolve for a long time since I put it on. I tried communication, but it didn't work at all." When Jiang Bei came back from Hawaii, he had the idea of ​​evolving the Crystal Onix.

I had long ago spent money to buy a high-quality metal film, and had someone on campus help me evolve the communication exchange, but no matter how I tried I could not get it to evolve.

Later, slowly, I gave up.

I didn't expect this to be brought up again.

Jiang Bei looked at the giant crystal rock snake curled up in the cave and felt unhappy. If he had a solution, he would have taken action long ago. Why wait until today?

"It is said that when a Rock Snake lives to be over a hundred years old, the rock components in its body will become like diamonds. However, your Crystal Rock Snake has only lived for fifty years, which is older than our ages combined. If you want it to evolve, you may have to wait another fifty years." Bai Ze remembered a very important clue.

"Fifty years? I can't afford that." Jiang Bei shook his head like a wave drum. Fifty years later, he would be an old man with half of his body buried in the soil.

"Well, special Pokémon are rare, but their evolution has become a difficult problem." Bai Ze had asked Crystal Rock Snake about its age before, and although its answer was vague, it could be inferred that it was roughly fifty years old.

This is not some young Crystal Rock Snake.

How could a young Onix have a crystal body?

Because I have no clue.

They decided to wait until they woke up.

The next day, we left the Giant's Bed Secret Realm and, according to Shen Dai's instructions, our next destination was the Mining Secret Realm not far from the Giant's Bed Secret Realm.

There are many wild Onix and Steelix living there. If you go over there and take a look, you may be able to find a way to evolve them.

Since Jiang Bei hasn't got the seventh badge yet, he decided to take the Mine Gym in the Mine Secret Realm as his challenge target. Although he almost failed several times during the challenge, he still successfully got the Mine Badge in the end.

After the fight, Jiang Bei hurriedly asked the owner of the mining gym whether there were any natural mines like crystals or gem diamonds here.

The final answer is definitely no.

This is what happens if a diamond pit is discovered.

It’s not the trainer’s turn to dig.

After leaving the mine gym, Jiang Bei still did not give up exploring the secret corners of the mine where diamond pits were most likely hidden. He thought that if it didn't work, he would spend money to buy diamonds and let Crystal Rock Snake carry them to see if he could evolve.

Crystal Onix is ​​different from ordinary Onix. The method of carrying a metal membrane for communication and exchange is not feasible because it has a crystal body and does not need a metal membrane. So Jiang Bei thought about changing it to diamond and trying.

"Help me with your golden eyes!"

"a piece of cake!"

Bai Ze immediately activated his golden eyes.

Slowly see through the interior of the mountain.

He has to look very carefully.

There are indeed a lot of ores in the secret mine.

But the probability of discovering a diamond crater is approximately zero.

Even though he knew it was possible that he wouldn't find the diamond, Bai Ze still tried his best to help Jiang Bei. He spent two or three days searching the entire secret mine but still couldn't find the diamond pit.

Just when Jiang Bei was about to despair, Bai Ze suddenly proposed a hypothesis: "Hey, after Steelix Mega evolved, the six stick-like rock structures on its body inexplicably turned into a crystal-colored material similar to diamonds. There was also a part of the tip of its tail that was the same, and it looked like it was coming out of the body."

What he said is true.

What you said is true.

The stick-like rock protrusions on the Mega Evolved Steelix popped out of its body like bamboo shoots after a rain, making it extremely conspicuous.

Therefore, one cannot help but wonder whether the body of the Super Steelix is ​​also made of a diamond-like crystal material, but is just covered with a steel skin on the outside.

"How about we change our thinking and find a trainer who has a Steelix that can mega evolve, and see if we can borrow his Super Steelix?" Jiang Bei suddenly had an idea. Since he couldn't carry the metal membrane, he might as well touch the diamond-like stick-like protrusions on the Super Steelix to see if there would be any evolutionary reaction.

"I thought so too." Bai Ze and Jiang Bei had the same idea, but they just didn't know where to find a trainer who had a Steelix that could mega evolve.

"Ask Miss Ami, doesn't she have a Steelix in her hand? Logically, the Secret Gym should have Super Stones and Key Stones, but she didn't use Mega Evolution when she fought us before." Jiang Bei thought of Ami.

Turn around and look.

Bai Ze has taken out his cell phone.

I opened WeChat and sent a message to Ami.

Unexpectedly, Ami replied immediately and told them to come over.

It looks like this situation might be promising.

So they hurried back to the Iron Wilderness Secret Realm, wasting several days in the process, but it was all worth it to help the Crystal Rock Snake evolve.

Ren Yingying, who was guarding the entrance to the secret realm, had already received instructions from Ami. As soon as she saw Bai Ze and Jiang Bei coming, she let them pass. This caused dissatisfaction among other trainers.

Jiang Bei didn't care about that. After entering the secret realm, he rode the Shining Metagross to the Steel Gym to meet Ami, and Bai Ze followed closely behind.

"To be honest, I'm very interested in your Crystal Onix." Ami had seen Jiangbei send out Crystal Onix through the remote video during the screening, and she is still impressed by the crystal pool of the recovery fountain.

"Excuse me for asking, but can your Steelix be mega evolved?" Jiang Bei didn't know how to respond to Ami, so he just went straight to the point.

"Of course it can, but I don't use it very often when accepting challenges. You want Crystal Onix to come into contact with the body of Super Steelix, which is easy to do." Ami learned the whole story from Bai Ze in advance.

"Thank you for your help!" Jiang Bei bowed.

"You're welcome." Ami said with a smile.

Afterwards, they followed Ami to the backyard of the Steel Gym, where they saw Ami take out the ball and release Steelix. At this moment, her men just happened to fetch the Super Stone and the Key Stone.

Ami put on the bracelet inlaid with the key stone, and her subordinates were responsible for installing the super stone prop on Steelix's forehead, just like Xiaogang did.

Next, it comes to the mega evolution stage. Ami uses her index finger and middle finger together to gently touch the key stone, thereby stimulating the mega evolution energy inside the key stone, making it resonate with the mega stone on Steelix.

Then the Key Stone and the Super Stone each emitted five colorful energy chains that connected seamlessly, completing the entire mega evolution process in a short while.

roar~

Steelix roared.

The Mega Evolution icon flashed overhead.

His handsome figure is fascinating.

Jiang Bei was almost stunned, with his mouth slightly open, almost drooling. At that moment, his mind was simply thinking, this is too cool.

"Don't be dazed, release the Crystal Onix quickly. If you can't evolve into Steelix, you will never have the chance to mega evolve." Bai Ze hit him mercilessly.

“Uh uh~”

Jiang Bei was brought back to reality.

It’s exactly as Bai Ze said.

If Crystal Onix cannot evolve into Steelix, then it is doomed to not be able to enhance its own strength through mega evolution in the future.

After all, the existence of Crystal Onix is ​​an incomprehensible product of environmental adaptation. Its properties are different from those of ordinary Onix, and its habits and characteristics are also different from those of ordinary Onix. It is difficult to imagine the scene of its evolution.

According to Bai Ze's understanding, the evolved form of Crystal Onix has never appeared either in the animation or in the game. This also indirectly shows that Crystal Onix cannot use the metal membrane, which means it cannot evolve into Steelix.

This is roughly the conclusion.

But nothing is absolute.

Since the metal film cannot be used, let's change our thinking and focus on the diamond protrusions on the Super Steelix.

After getting Ami's consent, Jiang Bei excitedly walked over and reached out to touch the Diamond Rock on Super Steelix. It felt icy cold. After a while, he called Crystal Onix to come over and try his hand and touch the Diamond Rock.

However, no matter how it was touched, the Crystal Rock Snake showed no evolutionary reaction. At the moment when Jiang Bei sighed and gave up, a faint light inexplicably appeared on the surface of its body.

"There is a reaction!" Bai Ze shouted excitedly.

"Ah?" Jiang Bei didn't see it just now.

"But we can't be sure whether this is an evolutionary reaction." Ami signaled Super Steelix to use its snake-like body to wrap around the crystal body of Crystal Rock Snake, so as to increase the contact area between each diamond protrusion and the crystal body.

As expected, as the contact area increased, the faint light on the surface of the crystal rock snake flickered more and more obviously, but it was still unable to trigger an evolutionary reaction.

At this time, Bai Ze suggested using the energy field that overflowed during Steelix's mega evolution to stimulate Onix's crystal body.

Ami thinks this method is worth a try, and by the way, she praises Bai Ze for being very smart. No one knows better than her that when Steelix mega evolves, the cells in its body will crystallize due to the super evolution energy. This special phenomenon promotes the formation of diamond-like crystalline substances.

If Crystal Onix can also bathe in the powerful aura of super evolutionary energy overflowing, be affected by it and induce crystallization in its crystal body, then the evolutionary reaction can be successfully stimulated.

"Then it's up to you!"

Jiang Bei clasped his hands together and begged Ami.

Ami nodded and immediately released Steelix's super form. After Steelix and Onix's bodies were entangled with each other, she performed the second mega evolution.

When the five colorful energy chains bursting out from the Super Stone and the Key Stone connected seamlessly, the super evolution energy instantly enveloped the bodies of Steelix and Onix. The transient aura inside was strong enough to trigger the evolution switch.

With a ding sound, the crystal body of Crystal Rock Snake was indirectly affected by the super-evolutionary energy aura, and the cells in the body began to change.

Almost at the same time, when Steelix completed its mega evolution, Crystal Onix also bathed in the powerful super evolution energy field to complete its unique evolution process. Its whole body was as dazzling as a diamond, with a faint colorful glow, just like the diamond protrusions on the Super Steelix's body.

In fact, this is not a real diamond, but a crystal material similar to diamond. It is harder than any mineral and can withstand high temperatures.

However, Jiang Bei insisted on naming it Diamond Steel Snake, saying that it sounded nice. Anyway, this diamond-like crystal material was better than crystal and metal, and its hardness was close to that of diamond, so it could be regarded as diamond material.

Chapter 416: Shining Collision

There is no sense of incongruity when Diamond Steelix and Super Steelix stand together. The key is that the former outshines the latter with its handsome diamond body.

Bai Ze still remembers that the characteristic of Crystal Onix is ​​Crystal Skin, which is upgraded from Dry Skin and continues its effectiveness. It is still immune to the damage and effects of water-attribute skills. It can recover blood on rainy days and can also recover blood when hit by water-attribute skills.

Compared to dry skin, it just has an additional passive effect, that is, soaking in water can passively restore blood, and successfully eliminate the side effect of losing blood on a sunny day or when hit by a fire skill.

In addition, when using rock attribute skills to attack, they will automatically be converted into crystal attribute attacks, and the power will be increased by 20%.

This is in line with the effect of the skin characteristics. This is a new function that Jiang Bei accidentally discovered later. When Crystal Onix uses rock attribute attacks, it will use crystals instead of stones to launch attacks, such as rock blockade, but it is actually a crystal blockade.

Now it has evolved into Diamond Steelix.

Crystal skin is naturally upgraded to diamond skin.

Its hardness has been improved.

That is, the body becomes hard.

Diamond skin has all the effects of crystal skin, and it seems to have the added effect of firmness, which remains to be verified.

I have to say, this feature is really strong. The original crystal skin is already strong enough, and now it has evolved into Diamond Steelix, and the diamond skin is obviously even stronger.

"What a handsome diamond body!"

Ami was fascinated by the Diamond Steelix.

Ordinary Steelix can only show diamond-like crystal structure after mega evolution, but Diamond Steelix has a body full of diamond-like crystals under normal circumstances. The whole body is made of diamond-like crystals, which sparkle under the sunlight.

Compared to Crystal Rock Snake, Diamond Steelix's diamond-like crystal body exudes a colorful metallic luster, which is truly eye-catching.

Like this dreamy diamond skin.

What trainer doesn't love it?

Just one look and you'll fall in love with it.

"It's quite handsome!" As a senior stone collector, Jiang Bei likes the Diamond Steelix more and more the more he looks at it. His eyes can't hide the star-like bright light. Isn't this the fantasy elf he has always dreamed of?

"I've been busy these days, and all my efforts have paid off." Bai Ze really felt it was worth it, but he didn't expect that the evolution method of Crystal Rock Snake was so special.

It actually needs to bathe in the powerful energy aura that overflows when an ordinary Steelix mega evolves in order to stimulate the crystal cells and promote the formation of diamond-like crystal substances, thereby triggering its unique evolutionary switch.

This is a very bold attempt.

An unprecedented breakthrough.

However, diamond-like crystals are not real diamonds after all.

Despite its property being called Diamond Skin.

The body is also called the diamond body.

But it’s enough to understand it in your heart.

This is a diamond-like crystal.
