Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Crystal Onix
The next day.
Gary took a speedboat to Sunburst Island.
He came to Sunburst Island to capture Crystal Onix. After all, it would be a pity to leave such a rare Onix in the wild. It would be better to capture it and give it to his grandfather for research.
The key is that Gary needs to complete the task issued by the system and capture 10 Shiny Pokémon. At present, Gary has only captured 4 Shiny Pokémon.
Since he knows that there is a strange Onix in Sunburst Island, Gary must not let it go.
The location of Crystal Onix is on a small island adjacent to Sunburst Island. Only when the tide is low will the road between the two islands be exposed, so basically no one approaches the island where Crystal onix lives.
Gary followed the route in his memory and came to the island where Crystal Onix lived. Then he sent Blastoise to help find the water source on the island. Following the water flow all the way up, he soon found a cave .
The depth of the cave is not dim, but there is light.
"Eeveei." Eevee called out to the cave entrance, then nodded to Gary, indicating that there was no danger in the cave.
Eevee's ability is adaptability. It is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment and can detect danger in advance. This ability is very useful when exploring in the wild.
"Okay, let's go in and take a look."
Gary followed Eevee into the cave. After passing through the winding road, he soon arrived inside the cave.
The inside of the cave was unusually bright, because it was full of crystal ore. Seeing the light reflected into the cave, it was very bright. There was also a huge pool inside.
"Eevee!!"
Eevee suddenly became alert and shouted at the pool.
Bang!
A huge body emerged from the pool, and a crystal Onix made of crystal appeared.
"!"
The crystal Onix saw someone breaking into its territory and roared, trying to drive Gary and Eevee away.
[LV35 Onix/Quasi-Elite]
"It has the potential to be a quasi-elite, but its level is so low?" Gary wondered.
In the original plot, the first person to discover Crystal Onix was mateo's grandfather. It has been more than ten years. It is impossible for an Onix with quasi-elite potential to be low level.
There is only one possibility, that is, there is more than one Crystal Onix on the island. Then, as Gary guessed, this Onix belongs to the Regional Variant, not a Shiny Pokémon.
"Eevee, use Fire Blast." Gary ordered.
"Evee!"
Eevee sprayed Fire Blast, and Crystal Onix's huge body was too heavy to dodge.
Boom!!
Fire Blast hit.
But Crystal Onix did not fall down, but was seriously injured.
"It didn't fall down. It seems that its special defense is very high." Gary said: "Eevee, use Psychic."
Eevee immediately used Psychic. Crystal Onix was rushing towards him using the attack. An invisible magical force knocked Crystal Onix away.
Bang!!
Crystal Onix's huge body fell backwards and hit the ground heavily, losing consciousness.
Although Crystal Onix is very big, its strength is really weak. Its Species Strength is about the same as the starter Pokémons.
"Go, Poké Ball."
Gary threw the Poké Ball.
With a body as big as Crystal Onix, any ball thrown can hit it.
After catching Crystal Onix, Eevee used Psychic to send the Poké Ball to Gary.
Gary was also curious about Crystal Onix's Attributes, so he checked Crystal Onix's Attributes.
[Pokémon: Onix]
[Attribute: Ice, Ground]
[Level: 35]
[Potential: Quasi-Elite]
[Ability: ice Body (Stamina will recover slowly in snowy or hail weather.)]
[Skills: Tackle, Harden, Bind, Rock Throw, Screech, Dig, Ice Shard, Ice Fang. ]
[Intimacy: 95 (maximum value 255)]
"It is a Regional Variant indeed.
After looking at the Crystal Onix Attribute, it can be confirmed that it is a Regional Variant. It is estimated that only the environment of Sunburst Island can produce Crystal Onix, which should be considered the Onix of the Orange Islands Regional Variant.
It is a pity that Gary cannot use the potential of the quasi-elite for the time being, and it is not clear what changes will happen to this Onix after it evolves into Steelix, but it is likely to have both Ice and Steel Attributes.
The Ice and Steel Attributes are not very friendly. 4 time weaknesses to fire and such a large body will be very difficult to put in Pokémon battles, and it is not known whether this form of Steelix can evolve with Mega Stone..
It is highly likely that it cannot, so the upper limit of Crystal Onix is Steelix.
The potential of the Onix captured by Gary is okay, quasi-elite potential. After using the Metal Coat of Silph Co., it will be upgraded to a higher level after evolving into Steelix. Steelix with Elite potential can still be used.
"Let Grandpa help and let Onix evolve. " Gary decided to teleport Onix back.
Because Metal Coat is only sold in the big city, the Orange Islands are all small towns, and some unpopular products are not circulated here.
Back in the town of Sunburst Island, Gary told Professor Oak about the Crystal Onix.
" Gary, have you really captured the Crystal Onix? Quickly teleport over here for me to see." Professor Oak knew that Gary had captured the Crystal Onix, and immediately asked to teleport over so that he could observe it carefully.
"Yes, I found that this Onix has both Ice and Ground Attributes, which is different from ordinary Onix. From the perspective of strength, this Onix is still very young, which means that there is not only one Crystal Onix in Sunburst Island." Gary said.
"Oh, you have observed to this extent, you are worthy of being my grandson, but you still have to challenge the Orange Alliance, so quickly teleport the Crystal Onix over so that grandpa can study it. " Professor Oak urged.
Grandson, you can't control yourself, let grandpa do it.
Gary:"...!"
Professor Oak said such words in order to study Crystal Onix.
"It's okay for you to study it, but after the study, remember to use Metal Coat to evolve Onix. You need the Metal Coat from Silph Co. characteristics. That Metal Coat can enhance the potential of Pokémon." Gary said.
"Don't worry, grandpa knows. "
Gary was still very confident in his grandfather. After all, Professor Oak's Laboratory stored four Trainer Pokémon. Professor Oak could take care of so many Pokémon by himself. His ability in taking care of Pokémon was definitely SSR.
After he had explained everything that needed to be explained, Gary sent the crystal Onix over.
Although Onix was not very close to Gary, Gary was not worried. After all, it was at a low level. With Professor Oak around, he would definitely take good care of it.
After resting for a night on Sunburst Island, Gary took a boat to Navel Island the next morning.
