Rumble rumble, the sound of a large creature walking came from the mine. Qingwu saw a Druddigon.
The Druddigon had an upright posture with many rhombic structures on its body, which also grew many sharp horns.
Its head was red and had two wings, but despite having wings, the Druddigon didn't have the Flying type and theoretically couldn't fly. Its abdomen had a segmented structure, and its arms were relatively long.
This Druddigon noticed outsiders deep in the mine, but it sensed the scales on Qingwu's body and was somewhat wary.
The Druddigon then came to a corner of the mine and extended its sharp claws.
With a flash of white light, the rock wall of the mine was torn open by the sharp Dragon Claw as if it were tofu.
"It seems this is how these Dragon-type Pokémon train their Dragon Claws. No wonder wild Dragon-type Pokémon are stronger than those trained by humans."
Qingwu saw the Druddigon use Dragon Claw with such high intensity that the move had become ingrained as muscle memory.
The Druddigon tactfully didn't disturb Aron's evolution, and Qingwu also didn't stop the Druddigon from digging for gems.
The Druddigon dug for a while, until half its body was submerged in the rock wall, before finally stopping. The Druddigon carefully dug out a gem the size of a fingernail, cherished it by blowing on it, and then hid it among its scales.
These Dragon-type Pokémon on Dragon Island really love gems!!!
Qingwu thought that if he were to exchange gems for Dragon-type Pokémon's old sheds and Dragon Fangs on Dragon Island, he would definitely make a fortune.
Gems in the human world were quite cheap, exchanged box by box within Team Rocket.
After all, the rich people in the Pokémon world preferred various Evolution Stones with energy and didn't care much for flashy gems, unless they had special effects.
After the Druddigon had dug for a while, it found that it could no longer dig out any more gems.
Annoyed, it punched the rock wall, which cracked into several pieces. After a vent of frustration, the Druddigon left the mine.
Qingwu, however, said to Crobat, "Crobat, use Air Slash on the rock wall the Druddigon just smashed open."
Qingwu had just seen a black, shiny object emitting a dark glow from the crack in the rock wall, catching his attention.
Crobat nodded, flapping its wings, and several small wind blades struck the rock wall. This was a technique Qingwu had taught Crobat to compress wind blades.
After being compressed by Crobat, the wind blades became much more powerful, comparable to small bombs.
With a crash, a gap was blown open in the rock wall.
Immediately after, Qingwu saw countless Netherite Ore emitting a dark glow within the rock wall.
"This is a rich mine!" Qingwu looked at the countless dark ores, mixed with iridescent gems.
"If the Dragon-type Pokémon discovered this, they'd go crazy fighting over it!"
"Gastly, swallow all the gems in here!"
Qingwu didn't have any mining equipment right now, but he could use these gems to trade with Dragon-type Pokémon.
Didn't that Druddigon just now get so excited over a fingernail-sized gem that it forgot to go home?
If it were a fist-sized gem, the Druddigon would probably go completely mad with joy.
Qingwu planned to trade these gems with Dragon-type Pokémon.
Using these free gems to exchange for valuable Dragon-type materials with Dragon-type Pokémon, with no middleman making a profit, was awesome.
Qingwu discovered that Gastly had a very convenient "flaw": it opened its mouth, and the gems disappeared.
If he made Gastly pick Berries, wouldn't it be a natural harvesting machine?
Just as Gastly was almost done collecting the gems, the Druddigon that had left earlier returned.
It brought several Altaria and young Druddigon, and a few Swablu flew into the mine, chirping lively.
They looked like a family. Upon seeing the newly opened rock wall, they swarmed inside.
Newly opened rock wall = many unmined gems = more collectibles for them.
According to this formula, the Druddigon family went wild, digging everywhere, and the once quiet cave became incredibly noisy.
Fortunately, Aron was calmly preparing to evolve, absorbing energy from the Netherite Ore, undisturbed.
A thick, shimmering metallic film covered Aron's body.
Ordinary Pokémon really couldn't do anything to Aron.
Just then, a Swablu, for some unknown reason, walked up to Qingwu's feet, chirping, looking very curious.
This Swablu was truly an anomaly among Dragon-types; the other Dragon-type Pokémon were desperate to snatch things, while this Swablu was quite zen.
Swablu's body was sky blue. Its wings were fluffy, like cotton.
Overall, it looked like a real-life bird, with two long blue feathers on its head.
This was very different from the cotton-like feathers on its wings, and its tail was also blue.
Swablu is a very clean Pokémon. When it sees something dirty, it cleans it with its cotton-like wings.
If its wings get dirty, it goes to a river to wash them clean.
It's not afraid of people and will lightly perch on a person's head like a cotton hat.
At this moment, the Swablu was yawning, covering its mouth with its cloud-like, light feathers, looking very playful and cute.
This Swablu didn't seem very afraid of people.
Instead, it hopped a few times and landed directly on Qingwu's head, like a fluffy sky-blue hat, exceptionally plump.
"ヽ(What a cute little guy" Qingwu had to get enough exchange resources on Dragon Island this time.
Otherwise, these two big eaters, Dratini and Deino, would chew through Qingwu's entire family fortune, leaving nothing behind.

This was an Azure Aptitude Swablu!!!
Qingwu couldn't believe his luck, to casually sweep and find an Azure Aptitude Swablu.
Qingwu looked at the Druddigon family's aptitudes, which were all Yellow Aptitude. He didn't expect there to be a descendant with (such good) Azure Aptitude.
However, this descendant didn't seem noticeable. The Druddigon and Swablu walked off gleefully holding their gems, ignoring Qingwu's outstretched hand.
This Swablu was still resting, so Qingwu didn't disturb it.
Anyway, after it rested, the Swablu's parents would probably be back.
At worst, the Swablu would just go back on its own.
Qingwu waited until the sun was almost setting before Aron finished evolving.
Aron was short in stature, with dark gray skin and sky-blue eyes.
Its back was covered with several segments of steel armor, each with a prominent ridge in the center and rounded holes on both sides.
Its lower jaw had several flat protrusions, and it only had two sharp fangs in its mouth.
Each foot had a pair of horned metal rings, dark gray on top and silver on the bottom.
It walked on four legs, and its teeth were extremely sharp.
Aron woke up, but Qingwu waited for a long time and still didn't see its parents, and this Swablu couldn't be driven away even if forced.
