In the early morning, a foraging Pidgey chirped on a tree branch, and faint sunlight filtered through cracks in the rocks onto Qingwu's face.
To be honest, Qingwu hadn't slept well all night because Aron had been painfully suppressing its urge to evolve.
All of Qingwu's Pokémon had dark circles under their eyes, suffering from severe sleep deprivation.
Qingwu made Aron's evolution the top priority for today.
"Snivy, Ralts, Torchic, Mudkip, Deino, you guys can move around nearby, but be careful and stay safe."
"Snivy, keep an eye on Torchic and Mudkip, don't let them provoke powerful Pokémon."
"Gastly, hide in my shadow. Appear when needed and protect me at all times."
"Three-Colored Fish, continue practicing Aqua Jet today."
"Crobat, Magmar, Squirtle, let's go." Qingwu picked up Aron's Poké Ball.
With its evolution suppressed, it was really not suitable for a long journey.
Among Qingwu's Pokémon, Crobat had the highest combat power, followed by Aron.
Qingwu brought Squirtle along because he wanted to find a place rich in Water-type energy for Squirtle to evolve.
Originally, the Whirlpool would have been a good spot, but Qingwu disliked that it also contained Flying-type energy, so it wasn't the optimal choice.
Qingwu remembered finding many pools on Dragon Island where Squirtle could evolve.
What Qingwu wanted to find was the pool with the purest Water-type energy.
Qingwu regretted giving the Steel Heart to Aron too early.
The Steel Heart contained Steel-type energy that not only replenished Aron's Steel-type Origin but also, with its abundant energy, made Aron feel the urge to evolve again and again.
Qingwu felt that Aron's persistence was also useful. The Steel-type energy expelled impurities from Aron's body.
After a night, Aron's body expelled many black Iron Blocks.
These were the impurities clinging to Aron's body.
Only pure Steel Energy could easily remove such impurities.
The entire Dragon Island was very large, teeming with Pokémon that Qingwu had seen from the Kanto and Hoenn regions. Qingwu walked through the forest.
He saw a group of lazy Slakoth resting in the forest, while Vigoroth energetically collected various Berries.
Slaking sat on the grass like a boss, not moving.
With the deterrence of the Dragonite Leader's scale, the Pokémon in the forest were quite polite. This scale served as a pass.
Dragon Island was accessible everywhere except for the Forbidden Zone.
Even high-level Dragon-type Pokémon gave Qingwu face because of this scale, letting him pass easily.
"Fortunately, there's an Abandoned Mineshaft here." Qingwu naturally found this abandoned mineshaft based on the memories in his mind.
What was called an abandoned mineshaft was actually a small cave, originally the lair of a powerful Salamence.
Later, after a Gem Ore was discovered, it was frantically plundered by Dragon-type Pokémon.
Dragon-type Pokémon were notoriously fond of shiny things.
After the gems were all dug out, the mineshaft was naturally abandoned.
Occasionally, some Dragon-type Pokémon would sneak over to dig a bit, just to see if they could unearth one or two more gems.
Qingwu had discovered in his previous life that precious ores were the main treasure in this mineshaft.
Especially the fossilized remains of Dragon-type Pokémon, those were truly valuable; the gems were merely incidental to the ore.
Qingwu looked at the dark, shiny ore on the ground. These were Netherite Ore, the most dazzling and precious in the Pokémon world.
They possessed excellent ductility, thermal conductivity, and electrical conductivity, making them suitable for space travel.
If Steel-type birds, such as Corviknight or Skarmory, consumed them long-term, it could reduce their body weight.
At the same time, their good thermal conductivity provided them with excellent Fire-type Resistance.
This was also the best raw material for making the Metal Coat for Scizor's evolution.
After evolving, Scizor could not fly due to its body weight.
If a Scizor made from this metal were to evolve, its weight would be similar to that of a Scyther.
Scizor's combat power would be even stronger.
If Aron were to consume this ore long-term, its metal density would increase.
Its body would become stronger and also gain excellent Fire-type Resistance.
Qingwu had originally planned to teach Aron to overcome its weakness to water, teaching Aron to Surf.
As long as it overcame its fear of water, and with its excellent Fire-type Resistance,
Its formidable armor would make it invincible, even against Fighting-type Pokémon. Aron would practically be unstoppable.
"Gastly, swallow all the black, shiny ore on the ground and store it in your Different Dimension," Qingwu said to Gastly, who was hidden in his shadow.
Gastly awkwardly poked its head out of the shadow and, like Pac-Man, swallowed the ore one by one into its pocket dimension.
Qingwu knew that the ore at the entrance of the cave still contained many impurities; he needed to reach the very bottom of the mineshaft.
Along the way, Qingwu saw many Parasect, each with a large mushroom on its back, teaching a group of Paras to cultivate mushrooms.
Many scientists also claimed that the large mushroom on Parasect's back was the true body of the Pokémon.
During the Paras stage, Paras's brain was invaded by the mushroom on its back, and the moment it evolved into Parasect,
The mushroom on its back absorbed enough nutrients to completely take over.
Parasect's eyes became dull and lifeless, like it had cataracts, which was evidence of the mushroom controlling the corpse.
However, Parasect's spore powder was a very precious medicinal ingredient. If Qingwu hadn't been in a hurry for Aron's evolution,
He might have stopped to collect some spore powder from the Parasect.
There were also many Zubat in the cave, all driven away by Qingwu's Crobat.
Qingwu also saw several Sandshrew digging holes in the rock wall.
Qingwu reached the end of the mineshaft, an area about two hundred square meters, where many Pokémon were active.
In a corner of the mineshaft, Qingwu saw a mountain-like pile of Netherite Ore, which Dragon-type Pokémon considered trash when digging.
The Netherite Ore dug out was left in a corner because Dragon-type Pokémon were too lazy to carry it out of the mineshaft.
"Come out, Aron!" Qingwu walked to the Netherite Ore and released Aron from its Poké Ball.
"Aron, absorb the Steel-type energy from this Netherite Ore with all your might. The longer you succeed, the better the evolution effect will be,"
Qingwu stroked Aron's little head, encouraging it.
Aron nodded vigorously. As Qingwu's first Pokémon, it was the leader, and it could not disappoint Qingwu.
Aron buried itself in the Netherite Ore, and its entire body flashed with white light, beginning its evolution.
