I truly am a great person, Tetsuya still sighed.
The Shorts Kid, radiating low spirits, recalled his Geodude into its Poke Ball, walked over to Tetsuya and set down the broken fossil. Without a word, he ran off.
"Don't come adventuring in the forest for no reason, it's not fun." He offered a kind reminder, not knowing if the kid heard him.
Every year, many new Trainers like this enter Viridian Forest and lose their lives.
After all, every Trainer initially thinks their Pokemon are the best, having no estimation of their opponent's strength, and just rush forward foolishly, just like before.
"Alright, Combusken, let's continue training."
Tetsuya didn't dwell on it; it was just a small interlude during training. This place was already quite remote, so it was rare for anyone to come.
He told Pidgeot to keep an eye on the surroundings while training in the air, and Tetsuya didn't make any other arrangements.
The previous situation was just an exception; generally, he would also maintain vigilance himself.
Combusken and Pidgeot trained arduously, and Tetsuya wasn't idle either.
After preparing potions to supplement the nutrition for the two Pokemon, he also began to study and review various knowledge.
Nothing in this world comes without effort. Tetsuya's current ability and strength aren't solely reliant on Zero's capabilities.
If it weren't for his persistent learning over the years, Zero wouldn't be able to provide so much information.
Training finished, instead of resting as usual, Tetsuya walked towards Pewter Gym.
He needed to prepare the breeding materials for his third Pokemon partner.
As for why Pewter Gym, it's because he could get a 50% discount on materials there.
This could save him at least several million, so how could he not seize the opportunity?
After preparing everything, he returned to his room.
Counting the time, it had been fourteen hours since the official incubation began. The little one should normally come out in fifteen hours.
Tetsuya took out the Incubator and fixed it on the desk, while he continued to study.
After an unknown amount of time, the egg in the Incubator began to emit white light.
Tetsuya calmly put down his Computer. After all, he was an experienced Trainer in delivering Pokemon; this scene was all too familiar.
He quickly organized everything, preparing the necessary supplies for the Young Pokemon.
He squatted in front of the Incubator, quietly waiting for the new member to be born.
"Dangoro."
A crisp yet muffled, strange sound rang out, and a smile gradually appeared on Tetsuya's lips.
"Hello there, Roggenrola."
"Dangoro!" Roggenrola shook the horn on its head, and the same sound from before came from its body again.
Roggenrola is different from Normal Pokemon.
Its entire body is a stone-like Indigo color, its feet are two multi-faceted stone blocks, and it has a conical, upright brown stone block on its head, which research suggests is its horn.
In the center of its body is a pale yellow hexagonal hole, which is actually its ear, not organs like a mouth or eyes.
The core in the very center of the hole is black; this is the core in the middle of Roggenrola's body, its energy core.
It also feeds by absorbing energy from objects through its core.
Tetsuya placed the specially prepared nutritional Materials in front of its core. Hearing the movement, Roggenrola cautiously moved its body and began to absorb the energy it needed.
This is another peculiar aspect of Roggenrola: it operates entirely by hearing. In its Young stage, it will walk towards the direction of sound, but if the sound stops, it will stumble in confusion.
You also can't put your hand into its core, or it will become enraged.
Watching Roggenrola "eat" everything, Tetsuya then took out a Luxury Ball: "Roggenrola, come into the Poke Ball first and rest for a bit."
"Dangoro." Roggenrola quickly agreed to the Capture request from the owner of the kind voice.
A red light flashed, and Roggenrola entered the Luxury Ball to rest.
This was the third Pokemon Tetsuya had chosen in the Pewter Gym's Breeding Room.
Originally, Roggenrola wasn't in his consideration because it only evolved once into Boldore.
However, as he learned some of the knowledge about Pokemon evolution methods sent by Pewter Gym, he realized that Boldore could also evolve into Gigalith through the recently introduced Trade Evolution method.
The so-called Trade Evolution is when Boldore is placed in a Poke Ball and transferred through a special Pokemon Transfer Instrument. Influenced by unknown power, Boldore will evolve into Gigalith during this process.
There are many types of Pokemon that evolve this way, and some even require items.
It was also because he read knowledge related to Gigalith that Tetsuya chose Roggenrola as his third Pokemon.
The evolved Gigalith's performance in both offense and defense is no less than that of the tank he originally had in mind, Aggron.
Compared to Aggron, which focuses more on defense, Gigalith's offensive and defensive capabilities are basically balanced and both are excellent.
The Speed of the two is not much different. Gigalith is more flexible in small areas, while Aggron is faster when charging.
The only drawback is that it cannot Mega Evolve, but Mega Evolution cannot be used simultaneously anyway, and Mega Evolution is destined to be Blaziken's exclusive, so this drawback is eliminated.
Furthermore, this series of Pokemon, like Roggenrola, are extremely sensitive to sound and can also serve as a warning in the wild.
Furthermore, this Roggenrola has Elite Four level Potential, making it highly valuable and worth raising.
Originally, Tetsuya had considered that if he couldn't find a Roggenrola, raising an Onix and trading it with a Metal Coat to evolve into Steelix would also be a good option.
But with a Roggenrola, it's definitely the first choice. Otherwise, he'd have to spend money preparing a Metal Coat, and that item isn't common and is incredibly expensive.
Although, due to Roggenrola's special nature, the cost of raising it isn't cheap either, it's just that the Materials aren't rare.
He was also lucky that the Pewter Gym had an incredibly complete variety of Rock and Ground type Pokemon. Basically, except for ancient fossil Pokemon and a few corresponding Pseudo-Legendaries (Gible), there were Pokemon Eggs stored in the Incubation Room.
"With this, the basic team setup is complete."
Tetsuya said to himself.
By the time Roggenrola evolves into Boldore, Combusken will probably have also evolved into Blaziken. Coupled with Pidgeot, this lineup can be said to have excellent capabilities in the wild in various aspects, enough to handle most situations.
Now, what's needed is more time to develop.
After some calculation, he could completely stay in Pewter City for another month.
In the remaining 50 days, he could fully utilize the Pewter Gym's Training Ground for training, in addition to doing quests and buying Materials, trying to set off after achieving his goals.
As for the less time, he could spend less time in places like Celadon City and Cinnabar Island, getting the badges and leaving.
It's a pity, Tetsuya sighed. He had originally planned to take advantage of that time to visit more malls, soak in hot springs, and rest for a while.
It seems that's not going to happen.
Who knew that plans always change?
Tetsuya never expected that this saying would come true so quickly.
Seeking Investment, seeking Collection, seeking Recommendation, seeking Monthly Pass!!!
Seeking everything!!
ps: It took me a while to find out what this thing is called, it seems no one has written about it.
Then I listened for a while and realized I couldn't write the Chinese onomatopoeia, so I just used this very strange onomatopoeia, I tried my best, really..
A reader posted before and actually mentioned it, which I didn't expect hahaha, after all, when it comes to defense types, the first reaction should be Aggron or something, because they are more handsome.
Originally, I was indeed planning to use Steelix, after all, its physical defense is very high, but later I found out that it also requires a Metal Coat, which increases the cost, so I gave up.
And Sand Stream Gigalith is indeed very suitable for many tactics, such as Sandstorm teams and Trick Room strategies.
And if you look closely, it's actually quite handsome, it has a feeling of a rock dragon.
