The Swamp Domain truly lived up to its na as a dual-type fusion move; the difficulty of execution was still too high. Although Marshtomp had made a breakthrough, it was still far from mastering the technique.
For the next few days, Basalt led Marshtomp and Cradily in intense training within the Azure Lake Secret Realm, and the gains were massive.
As for Milotic, after recovering from its injuries, it left Azure Lake without even resting, its destination unknown. However, Basalt knew he couldn't concern himself with the affairs of a great Pokémon. His only focus was to quickly boost his strength in the secret realm and ensure he passed the Pro-level assessnt on the first try.
What surprised Basalt was that the water in the Azure Lake Secret Realm contained faint traces of high-level Ice-type energy. This was a significant bonus for Marshtomp's growth. Although Marshtomp wasn't an Ice-type, its excellent Ice-type affinity, inherited from its lineage, was profound. Its Foresight Ice Ball combo was its signature move when Basalt first caught it. Later, under Basalt's guidance, its style evolved into the "Foresight " continuous move, allowing it to seamlessly combine different moves, making its combat style more flexible.
Ti flew quickly. Three days passed, and Marshtomp's progress was huge. Nurtured by the Azure Lake water, its water control improved dramatically, and the power of its Water-type moves surged. The sa was true for its Ice-type moves; Marshtomp's Icy Wind was already showing signs of becoming Ice Beam, its power imnse.
Next, Basalt temporarily gave Marshtomp the Groudon Scale.
"Whether the Swamp Domain succeeds or not, I have to leave tomorrow." Basalt's eyes narrowed. Ti was pressing; he had to pass the Pro-level assessnt before the school break. And tomorrow was the last day before the break!
Pro-level assessnts were usually only held in provincial capitals, like Hangcheng City in Jiangnan Province. However, Basalt wasn't planning to take the assessnt there. He chose Saffron City, an international tropolis, on the advice of Bella Bai.
Compared to a quasi-first-tier city like Hangcheng, Saffron had more top-tier clubs, making its ability to attract talent stronger. Furthermore, clubs from all over the Alliance stationed "scouts" in Saffron to constantly search for talented trainers. Scouts were the "talent spotters" of the training world. Therefore, to gain fa or to choose a better club, talented trainers often chose to take their certification in Saffron or Capital City.
"Marsh-tomp~"
On the island, Marshtomp grasped the Groudon Scale with both hands, absorbing the energy within. The energy in the Azure Lake water was pure, but compared to the Groudon Scale, it was vastly inferior—a difference between heaven and earth.
As the pure Ground-type energy entered its body, Marshtomp felt its perception of the earth becoming clearer. No tremor on the island could escape its senses. Simultaneously, Marshtomp's control over Ground-type energy skyrocketed.
At this mont, Marshtomp finally understood why Basalt always muttered that it "wasn't cheating big enough." Against a true cheat, re hard work was aningless! Its mindset was shattered!
Supported by the Groudon Scale, Marshtomp's previously suppressed control over the Ground-type quickly matched its Water-type control.
"Marsh-tomp~"
Marshtomp focused its mind and imdiately stopped absorbing energy. It knew that the Water-Ground balance was the most crucial state for successfully creating the Swamp Domain. It had to try now.
But just then, Marshtomp noticed its hands beginning to glow with a hazy light, which grew brighter and brighter.
"Marsh-tomp~"
Marshtomp was stunned, then overjoyed. It was finally going to evolve!
Seeing this, Basalt, who was resting on the grass nearby, scrambled to pull out the Fountain of Life water from his backpack. Basalt knew that a treasure containing such intense life force could promote evolution in Water and Grass-type Pokémon. For example, when Cradily evolved, its physical condition had changed dramatically. Basalt was sure the Fountain of Life water was responsible for that.
"Marsh-tomp~"
Within the evolutionary light, Marshtomp's body began to change. First, its height rapidly increased from less than a ter to over a ter and a half, more than doubling in size. Next, the fin on its head split into two, angled slightly to the left and right. Strangely, its tail, which had been split, rged into one, opening up like a giant fan.
Splash!
Just then, Basalt finally poured the Fountain of Life water onto Marshtomp's body. The rich life energy dissipated, instantly replenishing the energy Marshtomp had consud during the evolution, with energy to spare.
As a result, Marshtomp's evolution process changed. Its growth, which had montarily stalled, resud, heading towards a massive two ters tall. Its arms and limbs swelled, becoming muscular and knotty, resembling old tree roots, possessing imnse explosive power.
"Swamp-pert~"
Marshtomp's cry also changed. Its previously crisp voice beca extrely deep, yet loud, like a booming bass cannon.
Soon, the light dissipated. Marshtomp's appearance had changed drastically. The bipedal Marshtomp was now the quadrupedal Swampert. Its body color remained blue, its fins black, and its belly white.
But compared to its previous form, Swampert now radiated a powerful sense of oppression.
"It evolved?" Sylvie, who had been training elsewhere, was startled by the massive commotion. "It's huge!"
Compared to other Swampert, this one was massive. Its two-ter height was like a small giant, not to ntion its stocky, muscular build.
"Swamp-pert~"
Evolution complete, Swampert roared, venting its excitent. It looked at its massive hands, slowly clenched them, and slamd them onto the ground.
BOOM!
A distinct crater instantly appeared on the island, the ground caved in and fractured outwards like a spiderweb.
"It can do that just with brute force, without using a move?" Sylvie gasped.
According to the Pokédex, Swampert possessed imnse natural strength, capable of easily dragging over a ton of rock, and its arms were hard as rock. But the power of this particular Swampert far exceeded the Pokédex description.
How fast can it swim, then?
"Congratulations on your evolution, Swampert!" Seeing the powerful Swampert, Basalt was ecstatic. With Swampert, his passing the Pro-level assessnt was now guaranteed.
