บท 707: The Giant Sepent
Yuga and the others watched as the Beautifly and Dustox gradually moved away, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The mission was finally completed!
Just as Yuga received a notification from Zinnian to tell him to meet up, they suddenly felt the ground tremble.
An earthquake?
That was their immediate thought.
At the same time, Yuga and his group felt the strong vibrations beneath the ground.
"Boom..."
With a loud noise, Yuga and Zaden simultaneously looked towards the bottom of the canyon.
The ground there began to rise and roll, and the trees on the ground started to topple.
"What's happening?"
Zaden held onto a large tree, swaying unsteadily, and shouted to Yuga.
Before Yuga could respond, they saw the answer.
Suddenly, a massive rock head emerged from the giant pit that Dragonite had struck with lightning.
The awakened Taillow and Swellow in the pit, after seeing that massive rock head, all screamed and fled.
"This is an Onix..."
Yuga couldn't help but say as he looked at the massive head.
The head did belong to an Onix, but it was enormous, comparable to a small mountain.
"Onix..."
Onix, upon seeing Yuga and Zaden, let out an angry roar, and the ground shook once again.
This time, Onix emerged its entire body from the ground, and its bunched-up body was no different from a small mountain.
At this moment, a message suddenly rang in Yuga's mind.
...
[ Congratulations, Host, you have triggered a mission: Capture Onix. ]
[ Explanation: Onix, which was awakened by Dragonite's lightning while in slumber, is filled with uncontrollable anger. This is a Pokémon with Elite potential. Capture it; your Ecological Park needs it. ]
[ Reward: Unlock the qualification for the Mine Sub-Ecopark. ]
...
Listening to the system's explanation, Yuga finally understood why this Giant Onix was so furious at him and Zaden.
Upon closer inspection, there was indeed a blackened spot on the Onix's forehead.
Clearly, it was the result of Dragonite's lightning strike.
Researcher in the Pokémon world generally believed that Onix had two ways of evolving.
One way was:
Wild Onix would find a place rich in mineral resources, bury their bodies deep underground, endure the pressure from the earth, and absorb minerals from the soil.
After years of this process, their bodies would become harder and harder, eventually evolving into Steelix.
This process was extremely lengthy, so Onix raised by human trainers couldn't use this method to evolve.
The way humans got Onix to evolve was inspired by the natural evolution of wild Onix.
This was the second way:
Humans created a tool called a Metal Coat, made from highly concentrated rare metals.
When Onix absorbed the Metal Coat, the accumulation of minerals in their bodies accelerated, leading to natural evolution.
However, researcher generally believed that naturally evolved Onix, shaped by years of endurance, had sturdier bodies than those evolved with the Metal Coat.
This Giant Onix had clearly been slumbering underground, waiting to accumulate enough minerals for its final evolution.
Unfortunately, it was awakened by Dragonite.

...
This Giant Onix's potential was indeed outstanding, no wonder the system said it had Elite potential.
Setting aside its blue potential, just the number of moves this Pokémon possesses is beyond what most Pokémon can compare to.
Learning so many moves isn't achievable through potential alone, especially for a wild Pokémon like this.
Yuga believed that this Giant Onix must have lived for a very long time, and its extensive move list was a result of accumulated experience over time.
Generally, Onix that live longer tend to be stronger. It's said that Onix that have lived for over a hundred years develop bodies as hard as diamonds.
Its gigantic body was solid, dense, and dark, occasionally gleaming with a metallic sheen.
Yuga suspected that this Onix wasn't far from reaching its hundredth year of life.
Once it evolved into a Steelix, it would easily break through to become an Elite level Pokémon, and dominates this area.
While Yuga observed Onix, it felt ignored by the small creatures in front of it and grew angry.
It raised its head and used the move Tackle to charge towards the cliff where Yuga and Zaden were.
Given the size of Onix, even when using a basic move like Tackle, it was as powerful as using a Double-Edge move.
Seeing Yuga about to be attacked, Dragonite used Dragon Rush and collided with Onix.
Compared to the massive head of Onix, Dragonite, despite being larger than its species average, was still dwarfed by it.
This Giant Onix could already be considered an anomalous Pokémon, with its immense size granting it combat prowess far beyond its kind.
After being struck by Onix's tackle, Dragonite was sent flying like a cannonball and crashed into the cliff behind, taking a while to recover.
"Dragonite!"
Seeing Dragonite sent flying, Yuga shouted in concern.
Both Dragonite and Onix were pseudo-Elite level Pokémon, with Dragonite being at the junior stage, while Onix was at its peak.
However, even so, Onix's displayed power was extremely exaggerated.
Dragonite's combat power is far superior to that of its kind. But it's still lose on frontal confrotation.
No wonder it can be praised by the system. The actual combat power of this Onix, which is at the peak of the Elite level, may have broken through the boundaries of the Elite level.
It was worth noting that Elite level Pokémon had undergone a life transformation, and the gap between them and ordinary Pokémon was vast.
But this Giant Onix seemed to have broken through this limit.
The increase in power brought about by its gigantic body far exceeded that of Yuga's Absol.
After sending Dragonite flying, Onix stared at Yuga and Zaden with its massive eyes, and Zaden was on the verge of trembling with fear.
Earlier, his Skarmory attempted to attack Onix but was swatted away by the Onix's tail.
Compared to this Giant Onix, Yuga's height was barely a tenth of the horn on its head, showcasing just how massive Onix truly was.
As it rose from the bottom of the canyon, its height matched that of the cliff where Yuga and Zaden stood. During its movement, countless trees were toppled by its sheer size, making it an environmental menace.
Yuga's Chatot and Vivillon rushed over at this moment. However, before they could make a move, they were swatted aside by Onix's tail, suffering the same fate as Dragonite.
Both Chatot and Vivillon were not far behind Dragonite in terms of strength, so if Dragonite couldn't stand up against Onix, neither could they.
Onix glared at Yuga and Zaden, and green energy began rapidly accumulating in its mouth, a prelude to using the move Dragon Breath.
