"It really evolved?"
Basalt was shocked.
Although he did harbor the small thought of giving Jangmo-o so training to stimulate its evolution, this small thought was realized a bit too quickly, wasn't it?
In the white light, Jangmo-o's size changed first. Its height began to skyrocket at a speed visible to the naked eye, climbing from sixty centiters to nearly one and a half ters in the blink of an eye.
During this process, Jangmo-o's limbs also beca thicker and stronger, its claws sharper, and it changed from walking on all fours to standing upright on two legs. Its tail beca thick and long.
Before long, the evolutionary light faded, and the little guy's appearance had changed drastically.
After evolving into Hakamo-o, the scale on top of its head was no longer heart-shaped, but the heart-shaped pattern from its Jangmo-o days could still be seen on this large scale. Compared to Jangmo-o, Hakamo-o had more scales on its body. Its entire arms were covered in scales, and the scales on its body had different colors depending on their location.
"Haka~"
Hakamo-o roared to the sky, emitting bursts of dragon cries. Its voice gradually deepened, like a child entering puberty with developing vocal cords, causing a voice change.
"Hakamo-o!"
Basalt stepped forward curiously to examine it, then extended his right fist into the air: "Congratulations on your evolution!"
"Haka~"
Hakamo-o's eyes were full of excitent, and it fist-bumped Basalt heavily.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch!"
Basalt felt like he was struck by lightning. His hand recoiled involuntarily, his knuckles turning red.
"Is this a scale armor? It's basically golden steel armor!"
Basalt looked at the golden scales on Hakamo-o's skin and sighed with emotion.
As far as Basalt knew, due to the high defense of its scales, Hakamo-o didn't focus on defense during battle, relying only on a large number of attacks to overwhelm the opponent. However, because of this, its scales would often get damaged and peel off.
But although its scales often peeled off, they would grow back imdiately. With each new shedding, the scales would beco harder and sharper. In Hakamo-o's view, peeling scales was evidence of intense battles, a dal on its path to becoming stronger. It would wave its arms with peeling scales to show its scarred body to defeated opponents, proving its status as a strong warrior and flaunting its victory.
"Haka~"
Hakamo-o was slightly surprised, staring blankly at its fist covered in golden scales.
Am I already that strong? Just a light punch made the unfathomable Basalt scream in pain.
"Haka~"
Hakamo-o beca even more excited. However, this ti, it no longer banged its tail and head scales against the ground. Instead, it danced while banging its fists against its own scales to flaunt its strength and assert its presence.
"Stop banging, stop banging! Keep banging and you'll really attract powerful Pokémon!"
Basalt smiled wryly and shook his head, trying to calm Hakamo-o down. However, having just evolved, Hakamo-o was too excited and restless. Eventually, Basalt had to give up helplessly.
"Forget it, let's see what new moves this guy learned first!"
Basalt took out his Pokédex and aid it at Hakamo-o. Scan successful; Hakamo-o's data soon appeared on Basalt's Pokédex.
Hakamo-o
Type: Dragon / Fighting
Ability: Overcoat (Protects the Pokémon from things like sand, hail, and powder)
New Moves: Sky Uppercut, Low Kick, Dragon Claw, Breaking Swipe, Round, Screech, Roar.
"Actually mastered seven moves at once? Aweso!"
Basalt looked delighted.
First were the STAB moves: two Dragon-type moves and two Fighting-type moves.
Sky Uppercut, a Fighting-type move. This is the move the Kommo-o line excels at most. They love to use Sky Uppercut to hit the enemy's chin from below, sending the opponent flying.
Low Kick, also a Fighting-type move, but its power is determined by the opponent's weight; the heavier the opponent, the greater the damage.
Dragon Claw, a mid-to-high-level Dragon-type move. High power but very common; basically any dragon can learn it, nothing much to say.
Only when he saw the last move did Basalt's face light up with joy again: "Even learned Breaking Swipe?"
Breaking Swipe, a Dragon-type move that attacks by swinging a tough tail fiercely, thereby lowering the opponent's Attack. The power of Breaking Swipe isn't strong, inferior to Dragon Claw and Sky Uppercut, but it carries the effect of weakening the opponent's Attack, which is very valuable.
After all, in the league, professional players' Pokémon carry "Taunt" very frequently to guard against opponents' status moves. Therefore, non-status moves like Bulldoze, tal Claw, and Breaking Swipe, which also carry buffing or debuffing effects, appear precious.
"Sure enough, my Dragon Fang wasn't given in vain!"
Basalt rejoiced endlessly. For Hakamo-o to learn "Breaking Swipe," that Dragon Fang must have provided so help more or less.
However, thinking of another move, Basalt sighed secretly again, murmuring, "Unfortunately, didn't learn Drain Punch!"
Drain Punch, a bug-level move where a Pokémon can recover HP while attacking. It is also a Fighting-type STAB move for Hakamo-o, with a power of 75 in the ga. Compared to Drain Punch, Breaking Swipe is obviously a bit lacking.
However, Basalt only hoped for "Drain Punch." Because he knew very well that the difficulty of mastering Drain Punch was very, very high. Not many Pokémon in the Pro-level rank could master this abnormal move. Hakamo-o still had a long way to go!
Excluding the four STAB moves, Round, Screech, and Roar were all sound-based moves. This didn't surprise Basalt, as the Kommo-o line was a species adept at sound moves. From "Noble Roar" in the Jangmo-o period to the current Round, Screech, and Roar, in the future, Hakamo-o and even Kommo-o would master sound moves like Clangorous Soul, Clanging Scales, Snore, Uproar, and Boomburst. In terms of talent for sound waves, the Kommo-o line was not weaker than the Exploud line.
"The current Hakamo-o should have firmly stepped into the Advanced level. As for the specific level, we'll only know after fighting!"
After checking the data, Basalt had a preliminary estimate of Hakamo-o's strength. As for Pro-level, Basalt didn't dare to imagine; it wasn't that easy to cross. It required hard cultivation and training. Perhaps after passing Wu Kong's test and following Wu Kong for training for a period, under Wu Kong's guidance, Hakamo-o could step into the Pro-level.
"Hakamo-o, let's continue moving forward!"
With the evolution complete, Basalt and Hakamo-o were full of motivation and looked forward to the test even more.
But just then, Hakamo-o sensed sothing and looked up at the mountain peak. Surprisingly, it saw a white-green figure seemingly standing on the distant peak watching them. But imdiately after, the white-green figure flashed with light and disappeared directly.
"Haka~"
Hakamo-o rubbed its eyes, suspecting it saw wrong.
But the next second, both it and Bronzong sensed a strange fluctuation flashing through the air.
Hakamo-o faced a formidable enemy, involuntarily clenching its fist and punching fiercely to its side.
Fighting-type move: Sky Uppercut!
"It's Teleport!"
Simultaneously, Bronzong's voice rang in the minds of Basalt and Hakamo-o, carrying a hint of panic. Because Bronzong had already tried to disrupt the stability of the spatial gate with its psychic power, but unfortunately, the opponent's psychic strength was at least a tier higher than its own. Its psychic disruption was like an egg hitting a rock, unable to shake the stable spatial gate in the slightest.
This was the confidence for the opponent to use "Teleport" unscrupulously.
At this mont, all Bronzong could do was quickly shield Basalt to prevent him from being decapitated by the enemy! After all, these Himalayas were a proper wild area. Here, whether there was law or not mainly depended on the enemy's mood.
