Pokémon: Start with an Admiral Crab!

A layer of rock chips rustled off the body of Onix, and its movements immediately became much more flexible!

"That's it! Keep moving fast!"

"Use Rock Slide for a ranged attack!"

Xiaogang let Onix move around the field at high speed, distracting the opponent's attention while launching attacks.

Rocks condensed in the air, and with a roar from Onix, they smashed towards the giant Onix like raindrops!

That's right, the basketball-sized stones were like raindrops in front of the giant Onix.

It smashed into the opponent's rock body, causing almost no damage to the giant rock snake except for the crisp sound of "pa pa".

“Woo…”

Although the damage was not high, the opponent kept circling around me and occasionally threw stones to harass me...

This also made the giant rock snake start to get annoyed.

Since the other party is throwing stones at it, it will throw the same stones back!

Rockfall!

It was also a rockfall, but the size of the rocks condensed by the giant Onix was such that each one was as big as Onix's head!

boom--!

boom--! boom--!

A series of huge rocks hit the fast-moving Onix.

Fortunately, Onix was agile in its movement and easily avoided these simple rockfall attacks.

The rockfall attack from the giant Onix misses continuously!

"One more time! Keep using Rock Slide!"

Xiaogang's scraping tactics are still continuing.

And because the opponent is huge and moves slowly, almost all of Onix's rock-slide attacks hit the target!

boom--! boom--!

Several more rocks fell on the head of the huge rock snake.

"Woooooooooo!"

Although its defense has improved as its size has increased, the giant Onix is ​​still a little dizzy after being hit repeatedly.

Shaking its head, the huge rock snake stared at the small rock snake running around in front of it with great annoyance.

"Woooooooooo!"

Thinking of this, the giant rock snake suddenly opened its mouth! A blue energy gathered in it!

boom--!

The dragon-attributed energy breath was instantly activated! It blasted straight towards the Onix.

【Dragon Breath】!

Unlike the clumsy rockfall attack, dragon breath can not only freely control the direction of the attack, but also can spray continuously.

This time, Xiaogang's Onix will find it difficult to dodge!

boom!

Being brushed by the dragon's breath and swept by its tail, Onix hurriedly changed direction, but the blue energy breath behind it was still chasing it!

"Dig a hole to get out of the way!"

Xiao Gang shouted immediately.

"Woooooooooo!"

As a natural digger, Onix can reach a speed of 80 kilometers per hour if it only sneaks for a short period of time and digs underground! (From the illustration)

It drilled into the ground in an instant, leaving only a big hole full of loose soil!

boom!

The dragon's breath swept across the big hole, but there was no reaction.

"Woo-hoo?"

The huge Onix looked around in confusion, as if it was alert to where Xiaogang's Onix would come out to attack.

Bang-!

A hole suddenly exploded in the ground!

Onix appeared from behind Giant Onix, and its horned head slammed into the middle of Giant Onix's body.

“Wooooooooooooooooo!”

The damage caused by this blow was quite serious. The huge rock snake cried out in pain and fell down immediately.

Boom! Boom!

The heavy rock body fell to the ground with a loud rumbling sound.

"Now! Use Iron Tail!"

Before this, Xiaogang didn't dare to let his Onix engage in head-on combat with the opponent.

But now that the sneak attack was successful, the situation changed the moment the opponent fell to the ground!

The tip of the tail glows metallically! This is the ultimate display of steel properties!

The Rock Snake swung its heavy tail, which was enchanted by steel energy, high up, and with a bang, it slammed hard on the head of the giant Rock Snake!

"Woooooooooo!"

The huge Rock Snake fell to the ground and cried out in pain, as a layer of rock debris peeled off its head!

Even a stone head would feel such a clear sense of pain that it would be unable to respond effectively for a while.

"One more time - use Iron Tail!"

Although the opponent didn't seem to want to fight back, Xiaogang didn't think that this little damage would be enough to defeat him.

After all, a huge body brings a huge health bar!

“Wooooooooooooooooo!”

【Mother--!】

Under the opponent's continuous sneak attacks, the giant Onix finally lost its will to fight.

"Woooooooooo!"

The mother snake stepped forward and stopped the game.

“Beep! Beep—!!”

Referee A Yao comes in!

"Giant Rock Snake has lost the will to fight!"

"The winner of this match is—Gon and his normal Onix!"

Wang Yao blew the whistle to stop the game.

"You don't have to keep emphasizing the point about [Ordinary Onix]!"

Xiaogang complained.

Taking out the Poké Ball that he had prepared long ago, Xiaogang walked up to the fallen giant Onix.

"Then - come back with me! Onix!"

Xiaogang stretched his hand holding the Poké Ball straight forward and stopped at the tip of the other party's mouth.

“Woo…”

The giant Onix kept its promise and nodded its head, gently pushing open the trigger button of the Poké Ball.

"Beep——!"

The huge Onix turned into a red light and was stored in the small Poké Ball.

Holding the Poké Ball tightly in his hand, Xiaogang seemed to be able to feel the added breath of life in it.

"I conquered the giant rock snake!"

Xiaogang held up the Poké Ball in his hand high, his tone full of passion!

"After all, you're also emphasizing the point about [Giant Onix]..."

This time it was Wang Yao's turn to complain.

"Ahem... well - okay! Ayao, it's your turn now..."

Xiaogang pretended not to hear what Wang Yao said. After taking back his Onix, he prepared to hand over the baton to Wang Yao and transformed into referee Xiaogang.

"Speaking of which...I just suddenly thought of something."

Wang Yao was not in a hurry to choose his target.

"Ok?"

Xiaogang tilted his head in confusion.

"You said... since there are wild Rock Snakes in Miacha Mountain, could there be wild Steelixes as well?"

Although the giant Onix is ​​already very attractive to trainers...but Wang Yao wants to go a step further.

"A wild giant steel snake?"

Xiaogang was not in a hurry to refute Wang Yao's idea.

In fact... although researchers have currently discovered the communication evolution mechanism by which Onix carries the metal membrane to evolve into Steelix.

But before that, Steelix that had evolved in the wild had already appeared in the hands of some high-level trainers...

However, the specific method of evolution in the wild is still unknown.

But Xiao Gang happened to know some related rumors because of his work as a rock gym leader...

"I once read a rumor in the ancient document collection of the Deep Gray Science Museum..."

"The general content is... the giant rock snake that has been training underground for a hundred years will transform into a steel dragon!"

Xiao Gang did not directly answer Wang Yao's question, but instead told a story about an ancient rumor.

"If this is the natural evolution of Steelix...Ah Yao! The Steelix here must be unexpectedly powerful. I think you are still..."

"——Steel Dragon!? That's really cool!"

Little stars appeared in Wang Yao's eyes!
