Bab 49: Metang Personality Rehabilitation
WHAT
Does it have another transformation?
They already saw the strength of their brother's Metang, then if it evolves… This…
"You're kidding me, right?" Tiffany felt unbelievable.
"You think I'm kidding?" Tristan sneered at her.
Tiffany looked at his face and you cannot see a trace of a teasing expression on his face, this means… this means.
Based on the level of Metang, it's already comparable to B-A class contract beasts, then, then, if it still can transform means, this contract beast was, was comparable to an A class or even, or even an S?
S-Class is a beast who was already considered a Legend or some Mythological Creature, so he thinks, it's impossible, right?
"Do you think that's the final evolution, nope there's another evolution" Then he talks about the bonds between Pokémon and the owner of it.
He decided to tell them about this because he was worried that they will treat it badly and make it like a tool. He didn't tell to Tillie before to not make her under pressure, she was still young, and Tristan knew Tillie will treat it well.
As for these two in front of him, he might trust the third child a bit, but these second child, he doubted it. And now they knew the value of these, he thinks so, they will really cherish it now.
"So, treasure it, don't treat it badly, otherwise I will take it back" He added and said, but actually he can't take it back lol.
S-class, definitely an S-class, there's no doubt about it.
How much is an S-class contract beast?
It's Priceless!
It can even reach more than 500 million ACP – 1 Billion, that was just her estimation, it can even increase more than that. That's why it's called Priceless, the price was really hard to imagine.
But she still makes an estimated value of least 500 million to herself.
What is the value of 500 million ACP in Pesos? 500*200…. MY GOODNESS!
100 Billion!
That was just her lower estimation of the price.
"B-brother, where-where did you, did you get this?" Tiffany felt terrified thinking about this.
Her heart stopped beating due to the tense pressure of thinking about how precious this little guy.
Even Timothy on the other side feel the same, he even thought, he was holding a huge Gold mine.
"It's a family heritage that father gave to me before he died" Tristan lied.
"Family heritage, this one? Do we have a deep background? Why don't I know it?" This time, Tiffany doubted their family identity, having a Contract beast like this only comparable to the powerhouse surname here in the Artheran. She didn't doubt that her eldest brother lied because this explain how he get something like this. Their eldest brother does not have that much amount of money, so they can only think of their father.
While Timothy on the other side feels unwilling and blamed his father on his mind. Just because he's the eldest, you gave him a right? Why did his father entrust something important to their brother, is he not trustworthy as him? Just because he's the eldest?
On the other hand, the two beldum smells something delicious and they happened to see Metang eating a poke block, so they approached it.
Sensing these two creatures rushing towards him, no it shouldn't to itself but on the Poke Block.
META!
Hmph, don't ever think about it.
It even makes the pressure to warn these two guys.
I can even defeat you when I'm still young so what more now?
Whiiiing Whiiiiing
We just want to take a bite.
They even act cute in front of it.
META META
Hmph, hmph, don't fool me with that, I will not fall with it, so, go back.
Whiiiiing
Just one
They looked at it with teary eyes.
META
It's non-negotiable, go back.
Metang covered its poke block with its arms and shield it in front of them. Then It took one and eat it while still looking at them with an alert expression.
Whiiiiing Whiiiiiing
Whiiiiing Whiiiiiing
Both of them cried loudly and rushed to their owner shouting their grievance.
"Eh, what happened" Tiffany was confused and hug it.
Timothy also hug his beldum who was crying to him.
They don't know why it's crying, they also don't understand what it saying.
But Tristan who happened to see them crying couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
It's that guy again.
"Bel- eh, Metang! Did you do it again?" He looked at Metang who was eating behind.
META META
[It said, they want to snatch its food.]
"Can you give just two"
META META
Metang used its psychic to let the poke block float to its back then it turned it back against Tristan.
This bastard!
When did this guy become like this?
[Hmph, isn't it just like you? Hoho, like father, like son]
(I am selfish? I even give my siblings a contract beast)
[Maybe not a selfish side, but its grumpy temperament comes from you. You should lecture this guy later. It will get these bad traits later once it grows up which makes it aloof to its clan.]
META META
I don't need a lecture, hmph, and I'm already alone in my clan.
Metang can also hear what they're talking about.
[Even if you're shiny, if you persist to let their hearts open to you, this will not happen, but what did you do, you're bullying them which made them more distant to you]
META META
META META
Why will I be close to them? I'm a unique one, a most handsome one, they should be the ones who's taking initiative.
What a narcissistic bastard!
[See, isn't it like you?] The system said to Tristan.
Tristan feels a headache at this moment.
"Can't you really give them?" He asked it.
ME-TA META
Hearing what its master said, it hesitated a bit, but its pride comes first and shook its head.
This bastard! Why can't you give in? Tristan cursed it silently.
[See, isn't it like you, isn't like you?]
(Can you shut up?)
[Tsk, whatever]
Then thinking of this problem, his eye lit up, and thought something.
"Metang what if I give you another 5?"
META?
"Another 5 poke blocks in exchange for 4 poke blocks?" Tristan saw that there were only 4 poke blocks remaining on Metang he couldn't help but be shocked.
It is so fast!
My God, it's money burning damn it!
META META?
[It said, there's no free lunch in the world, what's the condition?]
"Give each 2 poke blocks to them" He pointed at the two beldum.
META META
Then it used it's psychic and moved the 4 poke blocks to him.
[Is that easy, then here, you give it to them]
"I'm not the one who will give, it's you, give it to them, here, the five-poke block" He gets a poke block in his pouch but he didn't give it but just shows it in front.
ME-TA ME-TA
It feels hesitant, and it took a few seconds and it still has not made a decision.
Tiffany approached them: "Brother what is that?"
Whiiiing
That was delicious food!
Tiffany's beldum who still has a bit of a tear in its eye said, but they can't understand it.
"It's the food customized for them. So, how about it, will you give it to them?" Tristan replied to her and then looked at the hesitant Metang and asked. He wanted this guy to open its heart to them, and this was the one simple solution.
"Brother actually you don't need to pressure it, we can make food for them" Tiffany saw how hesitant Metang was and she couldn't help but pity it, seeing it was pressured by her eldest brother. She couldn't force it if it doesn't want to.
"No, beldum food is different, it's about metal, ores, and minerals" He said.
"Eh, this was…" She was about to speak but Tristan interrupted it.
"I will explain it to you later…"
"How about it, I will add 1, it's 6 in exchange for four. You will give it or not?"
"I will count 3, if you didn't make a decision, don't regret it"
He must open his heart to these guys no matter what happens otherwise it will be more counterproductive in the future. He still remembered that scene in their house with Tillie when it was still beldum, its sad expression when it said it didn't want to go back to that place. Saw him like this, he felt guilty a bit, he was the one who choose this guy before, so, he was also responsible for how it became like this now.
And also, this guy will be the leader of its clan in the future, how could it be aloof here?
"1…" He started counting.
META
It was struggling right now to make a decision.
Whiiiiing Whiiiiiiing
Timothy's beldum also appeared with its master.
Elder brother, we can play with you, can I take that?
META META
META META
It snorted at it.
Hmph, why would I play with you, why don't you get it, I will not interfere.
"2"
Whiiiing Whiiiiing
Really? But your master said you will be the one who will do it.
Although they haven't seen Tristan, hearing Tillie's beldum about Metang's master, they know it's their also owner who had authority inside the space and also one who maintain the food inside.
"3"
META
At the same time Tristan said the three, Metang activated its psychic and gave the two beldum each two of them.
META
Then it looked at Tristan and looked at the 6 pokeblock.
Seeing his action, Tristan was happy a bit.
This was the beginning.
He immediately gave the 6 poke blocks to it.
When Metang gets it, it deactivates the psychic summons and disappeared.
This?
Tristan was speechless.
[Don't worry Tristan, that guy was just a bit shy, so, it hides]
(I see) He sighed in relief. He thought, his effort would just go to waste. Good thing it's just shy.
The two beldum ate their two poke blocks happily.
These two guys already passed their infant stage and can already be trained, their level must be at level 6-10.
The reason why their level didn't increase so much is that their food in space was just low-class metal and stones which is enough for them.
(AN: I made a decision that other beldum besides Tristan can also have "Clear Body" and "Light Metal" Ability.)
These two guys were still young and didn't have any experience in training and so having two poke blocks for each was enough to fill them.
Then Tristan gave them the poke blocks mixer converter each. He also explained their training plan to them.
And hearing what he said, both of them widened their mouth and eyes again for the second time and their expression shrunk at this moment.
What did they hear?
Their brother already spends 30,000 HCP a month just for silver ore, then it changed to gold ore with the price of 50,000 HCP a month. Then it became 50,000 HCP in half a month. So now, their elder brother's beldum transform into Metang then it should be…
Damn it, why is so much burning of money?
(Steven Stone: You called that burning money?)
Then they remembered that these two fellows seem comparable to an S-class contract beast, and they calmed down a bit. Since it's comparable to the S-class, they think it's natural to spend that money.
When Tristan knew that they only have 500 UCP remaining, because they already spend some of it on resources, he can't help them with it. He's also having a dilemma if his 5,000 UCP was enough to feed Metang.
He already gave them enough support with these and already spend more than 10,000 points in the system.
He can only suggested to them to start with bronze ore, for which the price was only half of silver. It's 15,000 HCP per ton. Their 500 UCP was already enough to sustain their beldum foods in 3-6 Months.
"By the way, brother, why your contract beasts are white" Tiffany asked him.
