"What? Change it?"
Jasmine immediately rejected the idea and said, "It's impossible. Steelix is my first Pokémon. I can't change it."
"But Sister Jasmine, you have bred Steelix for several years, and its strength has not improved much. It can be seen that Steelix's potential is very limited and it is no longer suitable for you now," Gary said.
If it were an outsider, Gary would not be so nosy, but who made him familiar with Jasmine? When he was in Cianwood City, he was taken care of by Jasmine.
"I know this, but I will never breed a Steelix again," Jasmine said.
"Then just treat it as me talking too much. Goodbye, Sister Jasmine. If you want to challenge me, you can call me."
Seeing that Jasmine acknowledged Steelix's problem, Gary didn't say anything more.
After all, Steelix was Jasmine's first Pokémon, so it was normal for her to be reluctant.
Anyway, Steelix also had the strength of a gym Pokémon, which was enough to deal with gym battles.
After Gary left the Olivine Gym, he came to a paid battle field and directly reserved a battle arena.
"Onix, come out." Gary threw a Poké Ball.
Great!
A Crystal Onix appeared.
[LV38 Onix/Quasi-Elite]
Crystal Onix was captured in the Orange Islands.
After research by Gary and Professor Oak, it was determined to be a special species of the Orange Islands.
Originally, Gary was going to use the liquid Metal Coat developed by Silph Co. to evolve it, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided to use the top-grade Metal Coat rewarded by the system to evolve Onix.
When in Greenfield Town, Gary would bring Onix with him and try to evolve it.
"Roor?"
Onix looked at Gary, not knowing what Gary wanted to do with him.
After Gary captured Crystal Onix, he threw it in Professor Oak's laboratory for Professor Oak to study, and he didn't take care of Crystal Onix.
As a result, Onix's intimacy with Gary is only 145 now. If it weren't for teaching a few skills, the intimacy would be even lower.
"Onix, I plan to let you evolve, but I don't know if it can be evolved successfully. Are you willing to give it a try?" Gary said.
Ordinary Onix can evolve with Metal Coat. Crystal Onix is a special species, but the evolution method is the same as that of ordinary Onix.
After all, the props needed for the evolution of different Pokémon of Regional Variant are the same.
Gary thinks that the same should be true for Crystal Onix.
If the evolution fails, the top-quality Metal Coat will be wasted after all, the Metal Coat must be applied to the Crystal Onix.
"This is Metal Coat. As long as you apply a layer on your body, you may evolve. I have prepared some more." Gary took out some more Metal Coat from his backpack.
Because Onix was too big, Gary was worried that the premium Metal Coat rewarded by the system would not be enough, so he also bought some liquid Metal Coat developed by Silph Co., which was specially used for evolution.
Olivine City is a harbor city in the Johto Region, so it is naturally very developed.
The Pokémon Department Store here naturally sells liquid Metal Coat.
Gary mixed the premium Metal Coat and liquid Metal Coat together, and after Onix put the Everstone on it, Gary and Gengar applied Metal Coat on Crystal Onix together, leaving no inch of skin untouched.
It took half an hour to finally apply Metal Coat on every inch of Crystal Onix's skin.
The body looked very metallic, and the temperature around it also dropped a lot, as if the air conditioner was turned on normally.
"Okay, Onix, you can throw out the Everstone." Gary said.
Crystal Onix nodded and threw the Everstone out of the carrying space. The next second, the white evolution light shone on Crystal Onix.
Crystal Onix's body began to change. The originally sturdy Rock body began to condense and gradually shrink.
Every Rock in the body grew a bunch of steel thorns twice. The tail also shrank as sharp as a nail. The head became flat and wide, and the body was a little longer than before.
When the evolution light dissipated, a Steelix as white as snow appeared.
The Steelix evolved from Crystal Onix had a pure white body, but it had a metallic luster.
[LV38 Steelix/Elite]
"Alas! Using them at the same time, the potential is still only increased by 1 level." Gary sighed inwardly.
Gary was thinking that using two kinds of Metal Coat could increase Steelix's potential by two levels.
Now it seems that Gary thought too much and wasted the top-quality Metal Coat.
"Roor...!"
Steelix was shocked by its own evolution. It didn't expect that it would actually evolve. None of its peers it met in the wild before had evolved.
Gary walked to Steelix and touched its body. It felt cold, but it was the touch of Amorphous metal, and it was always emitting cold air. When he knocked on it, it made a sound like knocking on Amorphous metal.
Gary also took a look at Steelix's current attributes.
[Pokémon: Steelix (Island Form)]
[Attribute: Steel, Ice]
[Level: 38]
[Potential: Elite]
[Ability: Will of Steel (Steel-type skills increase power by 1.5 times.)]
[Skills: Tackle, Harden, Bind, Rock Throw, Screech, Dig, Ice Shard, Ice Fang, Ice Pillar, Pursuit, Iron Defense, Avalanche.]
[Professor Skills: Hyper Beam, Rest, Stone Edge.]
[Intimacy: 195 (maximum value 255)]
Steelix evolved from Crystal Onix becomes Steel and Ice dual attributes, awakens the Avalanche skill the key is the ability becomes Will of Steel.
This ability is a limit to the improvement of Steel-type Pokémon.
Will of Steel is an ability exclusive to Meowth. Apart from Meowth, no other Pokémon has this ability.
I never thought that Steelix evolved from Crystal Onix would have this ability.
In comparison, ordinary Steelix usually has the first two abilities and one hidden ability, which means three abilities.
Steelix evolved from Crystal Onix should also have three abilities.
Unfortunately, Gary only has one Crystal Onix.
If he wants to know what the remaining two abilities of Steelix are, he can only breed Crystal Onix with different abilities.
