Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Hunting and Evolution
A/N:2/3 Bonus Chapters
-----------------------
That dragon roar, filled with intimidation, immediately changed both their expressions.
Tinkatuff instantly said, "We need to return to the mine mountain quickly. Just from the sound, this is a Pokémon we can’t afford to provoke."
Julian nodded.
"Move!"
On the way back to the mine mountain, he carefully thought about that dragon roar.
It sounded somewhat similar to Duraludon’s roar.
Could it be the one that destroyed the fruit grove?
He quickly advanced, then saw that a large open area had been wrecked out of the forest ahead.
A silver-white giant dragon was tearing apart a purple-black large bird.
This silver-white giant dragon was shaped like a cross-sea bridge.
Duralu...
Archaludon!
As for the purple-black bird, that was naturally Corviknight.
The unlucky Corviknight had probably been shot down by Archaludon using Electro Shot.
Although Julian knew that there was a Melmetal living in the underground space beneath his feet...
Encountering Archaludon on the surface still made this small body’s heart tremble.
He lowered his voice.
"Back away. We’ll retreat using another route. Whatever you do, don’t alert it."
Tinkatuff nodded in agreement.
No one wanted to clash with Archaludon.
The Archaludon, which was currently eating, paused. Its gaze turned towards them.
Golden electricity suddenly began flowing across its body.
Julian’s expression changed.
"Run!"
Since Archaludon had already discovered them, there was no need to hide anymore.
"Unlucky! Unlucky! Unlucky!"
A golden Electro Shot fired over and exploded behind him.
The powerful impact directly made his vision go black.
He smashed into a large tree, fell into a bush, tilted his head, and fainted.
It was unknown how much time passed before he finally woke up.
He was not dead!?
He had originally thought Archaludon had treated them as prey.
That was why it had greeted them with Electro Shot.
So it had simply found them annoying.
From its behaviour of destroying fruit groves, it could be seen that the Pokémon in this simulation space would use any means possible to suppress enemy species.
When he was sent flying, he had tightly gripped his hammer.
The hammer was not far away and had not been blasted off.
Julian searched around and found Tinkatuff in the grass not far away.
Her hammer was heavier, so she had not run as fast as him.
This was thanks to yesterday’s method of refining the hammer and reducing its weight.
Uncle Tsukasa had once said that even a heavy weapon like a war hammer was not better simply because it was heavier.
One had to choose the suitable weight and form based on one’s body.
Julian directly slapped Tinkatuff.
"Wake up, Tinkatuff!"
Only then did she wake as if from a dream. She sat up and gasped for breath.
"We actually survived."
Looking at the huge pit not far away, which was over ten metres in diameter, Julian was still shaken.
"Fortunately, we’re small. Archaludon didn’t care about this tiny amount of meat and metal."
The Archaludon that attacked them could genuinely function as a bridge if placed over a river.
Such a large Corviknight was probably only one meal to Archaludon.
The reason it attacked him was just to reduce the number of an enemy species.
Now tired and hungry, Julian sighed and said, "We’ve already run into Archaludon. I refuse to believe our luck can stay this bad."
"I plan to go drink some maple sap before heading home. Are you coming?"
Tinkatuff nodded.
"Archaludon is active in this area, so we’ll actually be safer. I agree to go drink maple sap."
That was indeed true.
When there was one powerful predator, there generally would not be a second.
They arrived in front of the maple tree. Tinkatuff copied him, cutting open the bark and drinking the sweet sap.
She was stunned.
"There’s actually something this delicious inside a tree trunk!"
No, how did you discover this?
"If we cut open other trees, can we also drink sap this sweet?"
Julian shook his head.
"Only this kind of tree can produce sap, and the amount isn’t very high. If we come again tomorrow, we’ll have to look for new food the day after."
Tinkatuff looked at the maple tree.
"I think I’ve seen two similar-looking trees in another area. Should we go check tomorrow?"
If there were three maple trees, then by drinking maple sap, although they would become malnourished, it was still better than starving to death.
On the way, they passed by the destroyed fruit grove and discovered that new shoots had already emerged. Some of them had even grown to around ten centimetres tall.
This growth speed was astonishing.
Julian estimated that they might bloom in a month.
Another month to bear fruit, and another month to ripen.
Was the vitality contained in this land not a little too powerful?
Tinkatuff suddenly twitched her nose.
"I smell Berries. Do we go?"
Julian’s eyes moved.
"Let’s do it!"
There were only three fruit trees, and there were not many Berries on them.
But eating these Berries would satisfy this body’s needs.
In front of the fruit trees, a Duraludon was already eating.
If they attacked Duraludon, they might very likely provoke Archaludon.
Tinkatuff narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Ready? I’ll go first, and you follow."
On this land, it was either you die or I live.
Starve to death, or get blasted to death by Electro Shot.
Everyone knew which choice to make!
"Tinkatuff, use Rock Smash to attack the back of its head, then fight it. I’ll seize the chance to hit the back of its head too."
"We need to end the battle as quickly as possible and try not to let Duraludon make any sound."
Tinkatuff nodded, holding her hammer as she approached Duraludon as carefully as possible.
Perhaps because of Archaludon, Duraludon’s vigilance was poor.
She swung her hammer and smashed the back of Duraludon’s head heavily.
The blow left Duraludon dazed.
Seeing that it did not move, Julian immediately swung his hammer and took over.
He struck the back of Duraludon’s head again.
Tinkatuff swung her hammer once more and hit Duraludon’s head heavily.
This time, Duraludon directly fainted.
The two of them immediately swung their hammers, absorbing all of Duraludon’s metal fragments.
Julian felt his body fill with energy.
Seeing his surprise, Tinkatuff smiled and said, "Hammers forged from Duraludon metal are very high quality."
"That’s also why Archaludon attacks us immediately when it sees us. If I could absorb Archaludon’s metal, after evolving, I’d probably be even stronger than Tinkaton."
The Tinkaton she was referring to was the one who treated the mine mountain as her territory, saved Julian’s life once, and had also killed him once.
He and Tinkatuff picked the Berries and split them evenly, each eating half.
After eating the Berries, Julian let out a satisfied breath, and his body instantly lit up with white light.
Under the shaping of evolution’s power, the hammer in his hands became even tougher.
At the same time, after absorbing a large amount of Duraludon metal, the power fed back by the hammer caused the Fairy energy in this body to increase and become purer.
Through just one evolution, Julian’s strength had almost caught up to the Tinkatuff who had been strengthening herself for who knew how long.
At the same time, he deeply experienced Hakamo-o’s feeling when he learned Dragon Breath after eating his fill.
His own evolution after eating his fill and Hakamo-o learning Dragon Breath after eating his fill were practically different approaches with the same result.
Tinkatuff was also very surprised.
When Julian absorbed Duraludon metal to forge his hammer, he had not evolved.
Why did I suddenly evolve after eating the Berries?
Do Berries have this effect?
