With Ging's help, their vision improved a little, but these glasses were far better, clearer, more effective, and less draining than using gels.
That's the beauty of Meowth's inventions: they solved many problems in a simple, practical way.
Although they're called daytime glasses, they look a lot like sunglasses, with dark lenses.
But once everyone put them on and looked down, the dim surroundings suddenly became bright and clear.
Every detail popped into view.
"Alright, let's go!" they said as they started exploring.
Meanwhile, something tragic was unfolding deep underground.
Far below the surface, there was a place that looked like something out of a fairy tale.
Gemstones glowed softly everywhere, and the stone walls were studded with dazzling diamonds.
Each diamond was stunning, crystal clear, with light shimmering across them.
Their gentle glow lit up the area, giving the whole place a magical, dreamlike feel.
The diamonds varied in size, but each was at least as big as a fist and shone brightly against the rock.
They were more gorgeous than any of the famous beauties in the world, if these diamonds were scattered across the six continents, they would be hailed as the world's most exquisite treasures.
If Biscuit were here, he'd probably have golden eyes and be drooling nonstop, captivated by nothing but the countless sparkling diamonds.
Even though this place was deep underground, it could easily be called Biscuit's paradise.
But despite its breathtaking beauty, the place was filled with a strange, oppressive darkness.
Strange creatures clung to the rock walls, each glowing with a faint, hazy light.
In that soft white glow, they looked like stars clustered together, forming a dazzling Milky Way.
Where this "Milky Way" touched the rock, the solid wall rippled like water, sending waves across the surface.
Around this center, the rock gradually brightened and its inner structure began to change.
This was how the countless diamonds were born.
These strange creatures were the key, they transformed ordinary rocks into these stunning diamonds.
And these gems were far more than just beautiful stones.
The creatures themselves were peculiar: their bodies were made entirely of a large diamond, about the size of a child.
On each diamond body, a clear facial expression could be seen, complete with a pair of vivid blue eyes.
Their expressions were lively and even cute.
Most of them floated in the air without touching the ground.
A few were bigger and had limbs, like evolved versions of the others.
The little diamond was feeling exhausted, its eyelids fluttering but never quite closing.
Despite the overwhelming fatigue, it forced itself to stay alert, driven only by compulsion.
Suddenly, a sharp crack rang out as a whip sliced through the air and struck the dozing little diamond.
The loud snap echoed throughout the cave, lingering ominously.
The whip resembled twisted vines but was lined with hard, jagged rock barbs, making it a formidable weapon.
"Don't even think about slacking off!" a towering silver giant growled fiercely, glaring down at the little diamond sprawled on the ground.
"Get back to work, now!"
This silver giant belonged to the stone giant race and represented a higher rank than the stone giants.
Interestingly, despite their elevated status, silver giants were actually smaller than stone giants, a result of their unique evolutionary process.
They she'd impurities from their bodies over time, and those she'd impurities would become the lower-level stone giants, except for the base stone giants.
Through this long, grueling effort, stone giants eventually evolved into silver giants, trading sheer size for concentrated power.
Though smaller, the silver giant's body was packed with immense
strength. Along with their physical transformation, their intelligence increased significantly.
Most notably, they gained a more flexible command of their own language-a series of special sound waves understood only by their kind and a few mineral-based creatures.
This proved that stone giants were not mere beasts but a truly intelligent species, unlike any that Larry and his companions had encountered before.
The little diamond, also intelligent, responded with similar sound waves.
Painfully, it stood up, crystal tears glistening in its eyes but refusing to fall.
The silver giant's whip had left a deep gouge in its diamond body, like scraping flesh from a human.
Such an injury would be unbearable for most, yet the little diamond endured, pushed onward by harsh necessity.
Under the harsh rule of the silver giant, the little diamonds had no choice but to keep working diligently.
Their task was to transform ordinary rocks into special diamonds, a skill unique to their kind.
The silver giant, ever fickle and moody, would sometimes sneer in displeasure, frustrated by his inability to entertain himself.
As their overseer, he often took pleasure in whipping the little diamonds and stealing the gems they produced.
Among the stone giants, these diamonds are known as gems-extremely rare treasures that grant incredible power when consumed.
Because of this, the stone giants exploited the little diamonds, forcing them into grueling labor under cruel conditions.
Their miserable existence stood in stark contrast to the beautiful fairyland scenery surrounding them.
Meanwhile, deep within a dark underground passage, strange gusts of wind swept through, accompanied by eerie whistling sounds.
It almost felt like an airplane was flying through the tunnel, though no such aircraft existed there.
Instead, a massive object was speeding through the passage, cutting through the darkness with an ominous presence.
Steelix moves incredibly fast, giving the sensation of flying, which is quite thrilling.
Despite its massive size, it manages to navigate through narrow underground passages, as long as its body remains upright.
Its golden exterior stands out like a beacon in the dim tunnel, catching the eye immediately.
Although its body is composed of mineral segments, this doesn't slow it down at all; it slithers through the passage with the fluid motion of a snake.
What's truly fascinating is that Steelix floats through the air without wings, thanks to bursts of electricity that ripple along its metallic body.
This electromagnetic floating ability allows it to hover and move swiftly, defying gravity for up to five rounds unless it's rooted, knocked down, or already floating.
This means even a heavy ground- and steel-type Pokémon like Steelix can take to the air.
Steelix's lightweight body plays a big role here; it has she'd unnecessary parts to boost its speed and reduce weight, transforming from a lumbering steel giant into a sleek, flying machine.
This makes Steelix a perfect alternative flying mount, especially since Larry and his companions are riding it like their own personal plane.
While Larry has other flying Pokémon like Dragonite, a three-headed dragon, and Genesect, none are large enough to carry multiple people comfortably.
Steelix with electromagnetic floating fills this gap perfectly, avoiding the need for those Pokémon to resort to Gigantamax-sized flights.
On top of being a great flyer, Steelix excels underground as well.
Its natural digging skills make it ideal for moving through vast tunnels.
