Chapter 422: Heavenly King-Level Inheritance
Mother Tyranitar was greatly shocked. As a fully evolved Pokémon, she knew the hardships and bitterness of the journey. Especially during the juvenile stage, evolving from Larvitar to Pupitar required a massive amount of mineral energy for support.
Back in her day, she had consumed an entire mine to complete her evolution. Because after evolving into Pupitar, they couldn't eat anymore. Therefore, they had to store enough energy during the juvenile stage to support two evolutions and finally transform into their complete form.
Although there was no distinction between day and night in the underground world, and the perception of time passing was vague, Mother Tyranitar was certain of one thing: it definitely took a long time. Even if not ten years, it was certainly five or eight years.
But her son, from birth to now, hadn't exceeded two years, right? This speed... was a bit excessive!!!
"Raaahr!"
Mother Tyranitar suddenly thought of a possibility, and her expression changed drastically.
As far as she knew, humans had some peculiar secret techniques that could forcefully mature Pokémon, accelerating their growth to form considerable combat power in a short time.
However, the side effects of this "pulling up seedlings to help them grow" technique were very severe. It would deplete the Pokémon's potential, drastically reducing their future achievements, destined to be limited.
Could it be... her son was forcefully matured by this vicious secret technique?
Thinking of this, Mother Tyranitar's eyes instantly turned cold.
Because she was a Master-level Pokémon, and her husband was a Heavenly King-level Pokémon, even if their offspring neglected training and played around, reaching Gym Leader-level shouldn't be a big problem. But if forcefully matured by secret techniques, Pro-level would be the limit. Gym Leader-level? Don't even think about it!
If this were truly the case, she would kill Basalt no matter what! Even if she had to bear her precious son's misunderstanding and anger!
"What's going on?"
Caught by Tyranitar's glance, Basalt involuntarily shivered. But he didn't understand where he had offended Tyranitar.
Shh-shh-shh~
With a thought from Tyranitar, the sand on the ground wrapped around Basalt's legs and also enveloped Pupitar. Because she wanted to carefully sense Pupitar's physical condition.
But soon, Mother Tyranitar was stunned.
Because Pupitar's physical condition was completely different from what she imagined. Pupitar's vitality was not withering; on the contrary, it was extremely vigorous.
How vigorous? At least five times more than her younger son Larvitar!!!
And this was the result calculated after automatically factoring in the evolution state and making reductions.
Not only that, Mother Tyranitar could also sense that under Pupitar's thick shell, its body had already completed part of the transformation, with small hands and feet growing rapidly. In other words, her son was not far from evolution!!!
But... this wasn't scientific!
Mother Tyranitar feared she had sensed wrong, so she closed her eyes and sensed Pupitar's body even more meticulously, inside and out.
This time, she finally detected the reason.
It turned out that inside Pupitar's belly, there was a peculiar energy emitting extremely pure Rock-type energy.
This shocked her greatly. Because the purity of this energy was higher than her own Master-level energy! And much higher!
What was this thing? Mother Tyranitar was greatly shocked.
Suddenly, she remembered the earth-shattering news her husband told her when Basalt visited the secret realm that day. Basalt seemed to possess some kind of supreme treasure. If her husband could obtain it, perhaps he would have a chance to go further and step into the highest level!
Unfortunately, with Mori and Xu Chonghui's main forces both Mega Evolving, Father Tyranitar couldn't keep them. Her husband had been disappointed about this for a long time.
But now it seemed Basalt had used that supreme treasure on her son?
Shh-shh-shh~
The sand retreated from Basalt's legs.
Mother Tyranitar looked at Basalt with much more approval. This human was actually... quite good. At least, he treated her son very well. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given the supreme treasure to her son.
Watching the sand climb up and retreat from himself and Pupitar, Basalt was still bewildered, completely unaware that he had just walked past the gates of hell.
"Raaahr~ Raaahr~"
Mother Tyranitar's eyes were full of tenderness. She reached out to touch Pupitar's head and called out gently a few times. Incidentally, her attitude towards Basalt improved significantly.
Seeing this, Basalt quickly seized the opportunity, smilingly stepped forward, and took out the gems. He gave one to Larvitar and one to Mother Tyranitar.
Although Mother Tyranitar was noncommittal about the mid-grade gem, Larvitar couldn't put it down, deeply attracted by the energy inside.
"Eh? Is Father Tyranitar not here?" Basalt looked around curiously.
Hearing this, Pupitar was also full of curiosity. It had long heard that its dad's strength was even above its mom's.
"Raaahr!" Mother Tyranitar shook her head.
"Tyranitar says her husband went on a long trip," Bronzong quickly translated.
"Long trip?" Basalt raised an eyebrow, the image of the mysterious man in the blue suit involuntarily appearing in his mind. However, the mysterious man's identity was too enigmatic, so Basalt didn't delve deeper.
"It's good that he's not here; saves a gem. Giving it to Carbink isn't bad either!" Basalt thought, putting the Rock Gem back into his bag.
Conversely, in Pupitar's embrace, a high-grade "Dark Gem" had already appeared. Although Pupitar supposedly couldn't eat because it currently lacked a mouth for ordinary food, it could still absorb pure energy.
Seeing this, Mother Tyranitar became increasingly satisfied with Basalt. It seemed she had misunderstood him. This kid Basalt was quite good, with unconcealable shining points. At the very least, ample resources!!!
Because a high-grade gem was a rare good thing even for a Master-level Tyranitar. The importance of resources to Pokémon was self-evident. Mother Tyranitar's biggest worry before was that Basalt's limited resources would restrict her child's development. Now it seemed she had worried too much.
Seeing Basalt so sensible, bringing gifts on his visit, Mother Tyranitar didn't want to be stingy. With a thought, she controlled the sand to fetch a dark stone from the rocky mountain and placed it in Basalt's hand.
"This is... a Hard Stone!" Basalt was slightly surprised.
Judging by its quality, it seemed quite high, at least mid-grade, possibly even high-grade.
Seeing Basalt's surprise, Mother Tyranitar smiled proudly. Her previous trainer gave her this. However, after she reached Master-level, this type-enhancing item became useless, but she kept it as a memento. Now, she felt it was just right to give as a return gift. As an elder, she couldn't let herself be outdone by a junior like Basalt, right?
Just like that, Mother Tyranitar, who originally found Basalt an eyesore, found him more and more pleasing to the eye, and their relationship became harmonious.
Subsequently, Larvitar boldly played with Pupitar. When Pupitar inadvertently displayed the "Quicksand Domain," Mother Tyranitar was repeatedly shocked. As a Desert Tyrant, she knew the power of "Quicksand Domain" too well. Crucially, this skill was something even her husband hadn't mastered.
Unexpectedly, her son, who hadn't even evolved into his final form and was only in his "adolescence," had learned it!
At this moment, she suddenly felt that following Basalt was Pupitar's blessing. Because at the same age, neither she nor her husband was as outstanding as their son. Perhaps her son had hope of stepping onto that highest level? Although the hope was still slim, Mother Tyranitar felt it wasn't impossible!
Thinking this way, Mother Tyranitar felt perhaps she should start special training for Pupitar earlier and teach him the family's secret techniques as soon as possible.
"What? You want to give Pupitar special training?"
When Basalt heard this news, he was extremely shocked. He completely hadn't expected this!
But Pupitar seemed quite excited. Because becoming stronger was its favorite thing!
"Roughly... how long will it take?" Basalt was a bit helpless.
Although this guy Pupitar was noisy, Basalt was very reluctant to part with it. After all, it was the little guy he raised from an egg with painstaking care. The feelings were very deep.
"Raaahr~ Raaahr~" Mother Tyranitar responded.
"Short term two or three months, long term a year or half a year. Specifically depends on Pupitar's talent," Bronzong quickly translated.
"Alright then!" Basalt was helpless.
Overall, this matter was beneficial to him, so he couldn't refuse. The Desert Tyrant's family secret technique! Basalt was tempted just hearing about it. Because Father Tyranitar was a Heavenly King-level Pokémon, rounding it up was equivalent to Basalt receiving a Heavenly King's true inheritance, and the unreserved kind at that. After all, it was his own son; holding back was impossible.
Staying in the secret realm for a day, Basalt tearfully bid farewell to Pupitar, instructing it to study hard and promising to visit once a month.
Just after leaving the secret realm riding Bronzong, Basalt's Pokédex rang.
On the other end came Zhou Yuan's voice: "Basalt, the Never-Melt Ice has arrived. Come pick it up quickly!"
