Kapitel 234: 234. A New Member
This battle lasted until dark. The physical strength of these two monsters was both exceptional high, it was a fist-to-flesh battle could last for hours if not stopped.
Not only the two of them, Ash and Steven have also maintained a high degree of mental concentration in these hours.
Ash's physique has been strengthened by his Tyranitar, and Steven was also worthy of being a veteran Champion-level Trainer.
He was actually able to use his Aggron to hold back the new Bonds Evolution Tyranitar.
After completing her Bonds Evolution, Tyranitars strength was even more impressive.
May and Max had already gone from being excited at the beginning to exhausted at the end from watching all these. They both lay next to one of the edges of the waterfall and fell asleep there. Even though there was a muffled collision sound from the side, it could still not wake them up.
The only one who has always stood behind Ash was the trusted Brock.
He has witnessed Ash's growth all the way from a complete rookie to where he is now, a true Champion-level Trainer.
In the end, the battle was still indecisive. Steven and Ash smiled at each other and took back theit Pokémon together. They were both in high spirits and enjoyed this battle throughly.
Battle is the main language between Trainers at their levels, so Steven had quickly but fully recognized Ash's prowess as a Champion level Trainer.
In fact, this was not a real battle of Champion level. As neither side used their full strengths, nor did they use any of their stronger range attacks.
But Ash's strength was seen by Steven, who took back his Aggron first. Steven handed Ash a Poké Ball after they rested a bit, "Ash, maybe his child will be better with you than with me."
"This is?" Ash looked at this Luxury Ball.
Could this be a Beldum?
One of the two Pseudo-Legendary Pokémons of the Hoenn Region and also Steven's most representative Pokémon?
Steven didn't answer what it was, but just handed the Luxury Ball into Ash's hands, "I hope you can train it to be a very powerful Pokémon just like that Tyranitar of yours."
"Aaaa!" The Aron next to him also called out a few times. He must be familiar with this Pokémon in the Poké Ball.
"Then I'll accept it. I will train this Pokémon to the best of my abilities!" Ash accepted the Luxury Ball from Steven and took out a crystal-like green stone from his backpack, "In return, since I know you like collecting stones, you can have this for your use."
"This is?"
Seeing the transparency of this green crystal, as Steven was someone who knows good stuff when he sees it, his eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly took it over from Ash.
He saw that there was a natural perfect green leaf pattern inside, "This is the highest quality Leaf Stone I have ever seen. Ash, where did you get this from?"
"I got it by chance, but I haven't had the chance to use it yet." Ash couldn't exactly tell his about his hidden System, now can he?
That was the highest-quality Leaf Stone that Ash made when he participated in the Grass-type Pokémon tournament back in the Johto Region and spent all of his ordinary Leaf Stones to create this.
"It's so beautiful!" May and Max had already woken up by Brock at this point. Of course they had seen many evolution stones before, but this was their first time seeing such a beautiful and pure one, so they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Ash, I will use this well." Steven was very interested in collecting rocks to the point where he even resigned from his position of being the Champion of the Hoenn Region in order to have more time to collect some extra rocks.
After obtaining such a high-quality Leaf Stone, Steven had no intention of staying here anymore. He led Ash and his group out of the cave and came to the bay inside Dewford Island.
His small sailboat was already docked here.
"As you can see, this is surrounded by vast nature. If you want to camp and train your Pokémon's here, this is the most suitable place on the entire island."
It was getting already getting very late now, so he found a perfect campsite for the group and had dinner with them before saying gain goodbye.
"Ash, treat that little guy well!"
Setting sail, Steven once again embarked on his next journey to find some more stones.
"Big Bro, hurry, let me see what Pokémon it is!" Max was very curious about what kind of Pokémon a Champion gave to Ash. Seeing Steven's sailboat sailing away, he quickly pestered Ash to see what Pokémon it was.
Ash was just equally curious about his new Pokémon, "Here we go!"
Opening the Luxury Ball in a bright flash, what came out was not the Beldum that Ash had initially thought, but instead, it was an Aron.
As soon as it came out, it stared around with its big bright blue eyes. After seeing Ash, he walked over slowly to him.
Just after these few steps of this Aron, Ash suddenly noticed something was wrong.
The bay here had very soft sands on the ground, and someone will naturally leave footprints when walking on it.
Just now, Steven and his Aron were standing not far away, but the footprints of the Aron in front of him were obviously much deeper than the one Steven had with him.
Is it its ability?
Name: Aron (Male)
Attribute: Steel, Rock
Ability: Heavy Metal (It's own weight will be doubled.)
Bond Value: 120/140
Skills: Metal Claw, Rock Blast, Protect, Roar, Iron Head, Rock Slide, Take Down, Metal Sound…
As Ash had first thought, his new Aron's ability turned out to be Heavy Metal, which made its weight reach a full 120 kilograms.
Ash knelt down to his level and said, "Aron, please to meet you. From now on, we will be partners."
Aron seems to know that Ash had become his new Trainer, as he was very close to him and had a high degree of compatibility with him from the get go.
Its no wonder that Steven thinks that it would be better for this little guy to follow Ash instead of being in his other team lineups.
"Here, Aron, eat this. This is for you!" Ash sat cross-legged on the ground and handed his new Aron a very shiny silver object.
Aron came over and sniffed it gently, as if he knew that is was going to delicious, he took a quick bite out of it.
Seeing how it ate with a newfound gusto, Max became curious, "Big Bro, what is this tagt?"
Brock also came over to see what was happening. As a Pokémon Breeder, he was also curious about what kind of food a Rock-type and Steel-type Pokémon like Aron liked.
Ash handed each of them one, "Max, tell me about Aron's usual habits."
"Oh...okay." Max thought about it, "Aron feeds on the iron ore that it digs out of the mountains. Sometimes when it is hungry, it will go down the mountain to eat bridges and railroad tracks. This causes big problems and and are the reason that some consider them a pest."
Then he reacted on what he had just said and looked at the bright silver cubes in his hands, "Big Bro, these are some steel pieces, aren't they?"
Ash nodded, these were really some chunks of steel, and they were also high-hardness steel pieces exchanged from his System.
If his Aron had been feed these from this stage to form a high-strength steel armor, he will have a unparalleled defensive tank in his team in the future.
"But Ash, why are you carrying such a thing with you?" Brock handed the steel chunk back to Ash's hand, which obviously made him confused a little confused.
Ash tilted his head, "Aron has been known to live inside of Granite Cave. This matter should be easy to investigate on the Pokémon Center computer."
What he meant was that he wanted to capture an Aron in Granite Cave before he left, so he bought these steel pieces from the Dewford Town Poké Mart before setting off, or that's what he told them.
In short, now that a Aron has joined his team, the Pokémon's in Ash's hands were all full again. He asked everyone to stay here to camp while he went back to the Pokémon Center.
He teleported his Tyranitar back after having a good battle, and then he planned to use this inner bay as a base to start exploring the rest of Dewford Island for some more training.
