Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Simulation — Tinkatink
Night fell. After finishing his evening training, Julian lay back on his bed.
System, begin simulation!
[Randomly selecting from the nine lowest-ranked attributes...]
[Random result: Steel type]
Julian’s eyes instantly lit up!
Steel type actually was one of his lower-ranked attributes...
If used well, a C-rank evaluation could be almost as effective as an A-rank evaluation.
Interesting!
[Randomly selecting simulated Pokémon]
[...]
[Random result: Tinkatink]
The last time he simulated a Steel-type Pokémon, although the simulated type had been Dragon, the Duraludon Julian simulated had happened to be killed by a Tinkaton.
This time, could he finally simulate Tinkatink and beat Duraludon?
Julian’s vision darkened. When he opened his eyes again, he appeared in a grey-black mine mountain.
Tinkatink was very small and held a little hammer in her hand.
Julian sensed the energy inside this body.
Tinkatink was rather weak.
She was even quite a bit weaker than last time’s Sneasel.
Moreover, after weighing the hammer in his hand a couple of times, he could feel that its centre of gravity was slightly off.
It would be best to gather some ore, hammer it into the weapon, and properly adjust the centre of balance.
He swung the hammer and used Rock Smash, easily breaking a piece of ore from the mountain.
This hammer was made from very good material. Unfortunately, his skill was not good enough.
It wasted the material.
This material looked somewhat familiar.
Julian stood on the mountain and observed the environment below.
This place looked even more familiar!
Was this not the very same island where he had simulated Duraludon last time?
Part of the material in Tinkatink’s hammer was Duraludon fragments!
Following the method in Tinkatink’s memory, he absorbed the metallic components from the ore into the small hammer.
After slightly adjusting the centre of gravity, the hammer became more comfortable to use.
At the same time, it also grew a little larger.
The process of the hammer becoming larger and heavier was the process of Tinkatink becoming stronger.
Besides the Tinkatink Julian was simulating, if one listened carefully, one could hear the tinkling sounds of other Pokémon striking ore.
Tinkatink ran over to look.
It turned out to be two Tinkatuff, swinging their hollow hammers and clashing them together.
The two Tinkatuff had hammers of roughly the same size.
But their effects were quite different.
Density!
One of the Tinkatuff had a hammer with higher density.
The other had her hammer directly dented by the impact.
The two Tinkatuff immediately stopped sparring.
The one whose hammer had been damaged swung it to break ore.
Pink light spread over the hammer, absorbing the metallic components from the ore.
Very quickly, the dented hammer recovered its original shape.
Its density also rose slightly.
Julian fell into thought.
The forging technique Tinkatuff possessed was indeed far more advanced than Tinkatink’s.
No wonder they were called Tinkatuff.
Fairy energy inside his body extended into the small hammer in his hands.
Then he swung the hammer and knocked down a piece of ore.
He repeatedly smashed the ore, absorbing the metal components to modify the little hammer.
After breaking three pieces of ore, the hammer in his hands had already been modified into something like a metal baseball bat.
Next, as long as he could make the hammer possess the three curved iron plates of Tinkatuff’s hammer...
Julian felt he should be able to evolve into Tinkatuff.
His stomach began rumbling.
Carrying the hammer, he went down the mountain to search for food.
This was not the area where Julian had been active during the Duraludon simulation.
After great difficulty, he found an area suitable for Berry trees to grow.
He found several fruit trees, but they had already been destroyed by some unknown Pokémon.
Not a single Berry was left. They had all been trampled to mush.
Looking at the footprints, it seemed to have been a Duraludon.
Wait!
So last time, Tinkaton had killed Duraludon not only to obtain material for forging her hammer.
It was also to stop the fruit trees from being destroyed!
Right!
Duraludon only needed to eat rocks. It did not need Berries.
But Tinkaton was different.
Although they relied on their hammer to grow stronger, they could not eat ore to fill their stomach.
If all the fruit trees were destroyed, Tinkaton would starve.
Not only Tinkaton. Tinkatuff and Tinkatink would also starve together.
Although their numbers were not large, there was a Tinkaton colony on the mine mountain.
He could only continue searching for food.
In the end, another fruit grove had also been destroyed by Pokémon.
Judging from the traces, it seemed to have been caused by Steelix.
This damn place felt almost as bad as the endless battlefield from the Bug-type simulation.
He walked alone through the forest, always feeling a chill down his back.
He did not find Berries, but he was lucky enough to find a maple tree he could suck sap from.
Tinkatink was not as professional at sucking maple sap as Bug-type Pokémon were and it did not really fill his stomach.
His development required far more energy than Bug-type Pokémon.
Sucking maple sap was only a way for Tinkatink to recover stamina.
He planned to return to the mine mountain and see whether he could get Tinkatuff to bring him along to search for food.
Otherwise, if he continued searching alone, he might be attacked by an underground Pokémon.
After drinking enough maple sap, Julian returned to the mine mountain as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, the earth shook, and a Steelix broke out from the ground.
Fortunately, he sensed the vibration in advance.
He leapt aside and avoided Steelix’s bite.
Fighting was impossible!
Julian turned and ran.
At the same time, he shouted loudly for help.
"Is anyone there? Help!"
Steelix opened its mouth and spat out a stream of metallic light.
He awkwardly rolled on the spot, avoiding Steelix’s Flash Cannon.
Just as he fled in panic and rushed into a dead end, thinking this simulation would end even faster than the last...
Troops descended from the sky like angels!
A gigantic hammer flew over from the horizon.
It smashed heavily into Steelix’s head, directly making the giant steel snake dizzy.
After shaking its head several times, Steelix still finally fell unconscious.
This seemed to be Tinkaton’s signature move, Gigaton Hammer, right?
Sure enough, a pink twin-tailed little fairy rapidly ran over from a distant hill.
Tinkaton picked up her hammer, grabbed Steelix by the tail, and turned her head.
"Follow me."
Watching Tinkaton drag Steelix as if dragging a broken sack instantly stirred some unpleasant memories in Julian.
Tinkaton said, "When a Tinkatink like you goes out to find food, it’s best to bring two companions. You won’t be lucky enough to run into me every time."
"And underground, there are still quite a few Pokémon even I can’t beat."
Julian nodded.
"Thank you. This Steelix..."
Tinkaton shook Steelix.
"Although my hammer can’t use it, you can use it to upgrade your hammers. It’s much better than ore from the mine."
"If the colony can produce one more Tinkaton, my work will become much easier."
Julian hurriedly said, "When I went looking for food earlier, I found that many fruit groves had been destroyed."
Tinkaton frowned and gripped the giant hammer in her hand.
"I’ll go take a look. You stay in the mine mountain and use Steelix to improve your hammer. This Steelix can also serve as food."
Tinkaton carried Steelix back to the mine mountain and gave a call. Very quickly, four Tinkatuff and six Tinkatink gathered around.
They surrounded Steelix and began swinging their hammers.
Julian also hurriedly swung his hammer and joined the ranks of those upgrading their weapons.
