Chapter 498 - Found a Treasure

Aoki smiled and patted Weavile's head. He had finally evolved, and his level had reached 39, just like Honchkrow—just a step away from the elite level.

At the same time, under the scanning of the system, Aoki obtained Weavile's data.

Sneasel had finally completed his evolution and became Weavile.

And because of the effect of the Razor Claw, Weavile's potential had reached dark blue—an impressive aptitude level.

Now, in Aoki's team, Weavile had the highest aptitude, tied with Slowking at dark cyan.

Aoki hadn't expected Sneasel to grow to such a level. Although the Razor Claw played a major role, Sneasel's hard work and determination to improve were undeniable.

For Weavile, this aptitude was enough to push him forward.

Every effort he put in would be rewarded accordingly.

Nothing less!

Moreover, Sneasel's original ability, Keen Eye, had now changed to Pressure.

Don't underestimate the ability Pressure.

Which Pokémon have this ability?

The three legendary birds, the three legendary beasts, Mewtwo, Lugia, and Ho-Oh.

All legendary Pokémon.

Aside from these legendary Pokémon, the only ones with Pressure include Aerodactyl, Wailord, Dusknoir, Absol, Vespiquen, Spiritomb, Dusknoir, and Bisharp.

These Pokémon possess an ability that even legendary Pokémon have.

This ability increases the energy consumption of the opponent's moves during battle and can also intimidate wild Pokémon—making it a highly practical trait.

Although non-legendary Pokémon may not be able to unleash Pressure's full potential, for Weavile, it was still an excellent ability.

Weavile's evolution further strengthened Aoki's team.

Now, with two fully evolved Pokémon—Honchkrow and Weavile—both at level 39, they were just one step away from the elite level.

Once that threshold was crossed, Aoki would become a true elite trainer.

And beyond that, his next goal would be to challenge the rank of an Elite Four-level trainer.

That was the highest achievement he had reached in his previous life.

Not only Aoki, but the rest of his team gathered around to congratulate Weavile on his evolution.

The most envious one was Skorupi. Seeing the changes in Weavile, the admiration in Skorupi's small eyes was impossible to hide.

He deeply envied Weavile's transformation—this evolution had almost brought about a qualitative change.

Patting Skorupi's head, Aoki smiled and said, "Don't worry. Master your current abilities first, and your evolution will come in time. You want to be even stronger after evolving, right?"

Hearing this, Skorupi nodded enthusiastically!

Strength!

That was what Skorupi had always pursued.

And his growth had already exceeded Aoki's expectations. With his growing size and formidable strength, he had secured a solid position in Aoki's team, and his future development would only make him stronger.

After returning all his satisfied Pokémon, Aoki disappeared into the forest with the help of Slowking's Teleport.

With a few short-distance teleports, Aoki and Slowking returned to the familiar backyard.

The moment Aoki appeared, Larvitar, who had been sitting on the ground playing with mud, suddenly jumped up. His feet stomped down, leaving sunken footprints behind as he wobbled toward Aoki.

Seeing Larvitar rushing over, an awkward expression appeared on Aoki's face.

What to do?

He couldn't carry him!

But he also couldn't disappoint Larvitar.

There was no choice.

Aoki had to use his psychic power to lift the little Larvitar, whose weight was far from normal.

Even though he was still in the growth stage, he was already more than twice as heavy as the average Larvitar.

Yet, judging from the speed he had just run, there seemed to be nothing wrong.

Just an overweight Larvitar?

If he kept growing at this rate and remained just as fast as other Tyranitars but several times heavier, how terrifying would his attacks be?

Would Earthquake have a different effect compared to normal Tyranitars?

Thinking of this, Aoki no longer saw Larvitar's weight as an issue.

As long as he maintained agility, increasing Larvitar's weight could be beneficial.

To help his body adapt, calcium supplements to strengthen his bones were a must!

Luckily, the calcium tablets Skorupi had been taking earlier weren't finished, so Miltank could start adding them to Larvitar's diet according to a set plan.

Larvitar could be heavy, but he needed to control his strength better.

Right now, the depth of his footprints depended entirely on the ground's durability.

Mastering power control was crucial—even though he was still young, the sooner he learned, the better. Otherwise, it would be harder to correct later.

Through telepathy, Aoki explained the concept of power control to Larvitar and how to apply it.

Though Larvitar didn't fully understand, Aoki's explanations and demonstrations gradually helped him grasp the idea.

The first task: Walk without leaving deep footprints!

That was the first lesson Aoki gave him—something to focus on every day.

After releasing all his Pokémon, Weavile's evolution had sparked envy among the young Pokemon.

It was their first time witnessing a Pokémon evolution firsthand.

Although Aron had seen their own kind evolve into Lairon or Aggron, they had long grown used to it. This, however, was their first time seeing a different Pokémon evolve.

They all showed expressions of admiration.

Just like children idolizing adults, unaware of the responsibilities that come with growing up—that was the beauty of innocence.

Aoki set Larvitar down to play with the Aron.

However, as Aoki shifted his gaze, he noticed the spot where Larvitar had been playing.

A mound of dirt was placed in front of the indentation Larvitar had created by sitting.

But Aoki wasn't looking at the dirt.

Or rather, it wasn't just dirt—it was a sculpture.

A perfectly shaped Miltank!

Incredible Ground-type energy control!

Despite being so young, Larvitar already had such remarkable control over Ground-type energy?

Looking at the lifelike Miltank sculpture, Aoki's eyes filled with shock.

This Larvitar's talent was beyond his imagination!

It was like…

He had discovered a hidden treasure!
