Tyranitar continued its training in a methodical manner; at its current lv70, there were no shortcuts left to take.
It trained two days and rested one, steadily progressing.
【Tyranitar】
【lv70: lv63】
【Ability: Sandstorm (Development: 0.21)】
【Aptitude: Gold (6/100)】
【Stats: 696】
【HP: 118】 (Has high talent, recommended for focused training)
【Attack: 161】 (Has outstanding talent, recommended for full training)
【Defense: 130】 (Has high talent, recommended for focused training)
【Special Attack: 96】 (Has some talent, recommended for training)
【Special Defense: 116】 (Has high talent, recommended for focused training)
【Speed: 75】 (Has some talent, recommended for training)
Because Aron was captured immediately after Tyranitar evolved, Tyranitar's potential was completely untapped after its evolution.
Kebi only trained Tyranitar for half a month, yet it achieved significant improvement.
Moreover, as a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, the detector suggested comprehensive training across all six stats.
It deserved such a training regimen!
The only drawback of comprehensive training across all six stats was the high consumption of resources.
But that was Kebi's problem, not Tyranitar's.
Kebi took out a small ore mining and refining integrated machine from his backpack; there must be ore underground in Steel Valley.
Kebi set the machine to extract the ores needed by Tyranitar and Nosepass, watching as the integrated machine's drill bit bored into the rock wall.
He just needed to wait patiently for six hours, and the integrated machine would return with the refined ore.
After a night's rest, Steel Valley returned to its usual noise.
When Torkoal saw Kebi training his Pokémon, it also excitedly ran off, probably back to its old home to train.
Not long after Kebi set off, he encountered a Graveler.
“Chimchar, only use Flame Wheel.”
【Graveler】
【lv70: lv31】
【Ability: Sturdy】
【Aptitude: Blue (34/100)】
A very good opponent, perhaps it could stimulate Chimchar's Flame Wheel to advance further.
Graveler was tough, directly using Rollout to attack Chimchar.
Initially, Chimchar, with the power of the lava stone, managed to gain the upper hand.
But as long as Rollout wasn't interrupted, its power would keep doubling.
At its maximum of 32 times, even Entei would be sent flying.
After clashing three times, Chimchar realized it was no longer an opponent in a head-on collision.
As Rollout's power increased, so did its inertia.
Chimchar's advantage lay in its flexibility.
“Seize the opportunity, attack from the side, break its Rollout.”
Reminded by Kebi, Chimchar knew this was the best chance.
It leaped, pushing off the rock wall with both feet, and intense flames erupted from its pores.
Transforming into a fiery rocket, it accurately struck the center of Graveler's rotation.
The immense force from the side caused Graveler to crash directly into the rock wall, rolling past it.
The power was too great, Graveler couldn't control it and ended up defeating itself.
Chimchar landed, a fleeting look of pain on its face.
Flare Blitz, it learned it!
Chimchar excitedly waved its fists, tilting its head back and spewing a pillar of fire.
Not only Flare Blitz, but condensing Flare Blitz required enough fire energy, so Chimchar naturally learned Flamethrower.
After giving Graveler some medicine, Kebi continued forward.
Sandslash, Rhyhorn, Onix, the types of Pokémon in Steel Valley were not numerous.
Their numbers were also small, but each one was good; Seedot and Treecko made great progress.
Unfortunately, they didn't have a major breakthrough like Chimchar did.
After staying in Steel Valley for five days, Kebi, who was making breakfast, felt a special sensation.
The storm should appear today.
After eating, Kebi looked keenly at the valley, “Everyone, are you ready? A new storm has arrived.”
Piplup! Treecko! Mudkip! Chimchar! Roar! Nosepass! Magnemite!
The hard training of the past few days was precisely to teach Skarmory and Magnemite a good lesson, and also Steelix, who dared to attack Kebi, everyone unanimously decided.
They had to flatten Steelix!
The once noisy valley became quiet again today.
There were no Graveler and Rhyhorn wrestling with each other for Kebi to break up; he only saw Skarmory circling in the sky and Magnemite in groups of three to five.
They were all searching for something.
Kebi knew they were looking for him; not only did Kebi want to fight back, but Skarmory and the others were also holding back, planning their revenge.
Kebi directly stood on a high ground and waved to the distant Skarmory.
“Hey, I'm here!”
Kebi's sixth sense told him that this battle with Steelix would bring him great benefits.
Skarmory saw Kebi, but it didn't fly over; instead, it turned and flew into the distance, emitting an unpleasant Growl from its mouth.
Soon, Skarmory and Magnemite under Steelix's command gathered together and flew densely towards Kebi.
Upon their arrival, they quietly watched Kebi, and only when the ground began to tremble did they become restless.
Their king had arrived!
【Steelix】
【lv70: lv54】
【Ability: Sturdy (Development: 0.71)】
【Aptitude: Purple (93/100)】
In just four days, Steelix had made such great progress.
Its lv70, ability, and aptitude had all improved, it seemed that Steelix's training using the high temperature and pressure of the earth's core had been very effective.
Although it was just a fleeting glance that day, Steelix had already determined that Kebi was a formidable opponent, and Tyranitar put a lot of pressure on it.
If it didn't become stronger, how could it protect Steel Valley? All naturally evil human brats must be eliminated.
Pressure was the best medicine for training.
“Roar!”
Steelix did not choose an all-out assault but opted for a one-on-one battle with Tyranitar.
Looking at its eyes, Kebi understood its meaning.
“Tyranitar, prepare for battle!”
Tyranitar looked at Steelix, also feeling that it was an evenly matched opponent.
The atmosphere began to solidify; Steelix subtly swayed its tail, and Tyranitar's tail also scraped the ground, making a rustling sound.
Until a Skarmory perched on the cliff accidentally knocked a stone down into the valley.
Blazing Dragon Breath surged from Steelix's mouth, and an evil wave also erupted and shot from Tyranitar's mouth.
Amidst a violent explosion, Steelix burrowed underground.
Tyranitar naturally felt the ground tremble, allowing Steelix to emerge from behind it, then it fiercely launched its concentrated Stone Edge.
Kebi had told it long ago that during battle, one should not only use their physical eyes, but also use Miracle Eye.
After being hit by Stone Edge, Steelix, unconvinced, burrowed underground again.
This time, it chose to emerge from under Tyranitar's feet, only to be met by Tyranitar's large foot, Stomp!
It was stomped back down.
This time, Steelix faced reality and emerged from the ground far away from Tyranitar.
Its tail lashed the ground, creating ripples, and the entire valley rumbled from Steelix's Earthquake.
Tyranitar roared, stomping its foot in return, unleashing Earth Power.
Steelix's tail lash and Tyranitar's stomp made the entire valley tremble even more violently.
Kebi looked around, locking onto that purple-aptitude Magnemite.
Analyze was Magnemite's hidden ability, and coupled with this ability, this purple-aptitude Magnemite was even rarer.
Thinking of that Zapdos with three abilities, Kebi wanted to try if he could reproduce three abilities on Magnemite.
Magnet Pull and Sturdy were not rare abilities, and the methods to develop these two abilities were also very simple.
The Analyze ability was even the best support, allowing Magnemite to understand the characteristics of the two abilities.
Suddenly, under the effects of Earthquake and Earth Power, the valley split open into a bottomless chasm, and both Steelix and Tyranitar fell into it.
Kebi timely used Psychic to lift his body, thus avoiding falling in with them.
His intuition told him that there was something he wanted beneath this chasm.
