Pokémon: My Online Friend Is Cynthia

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: Iron Bones

A/N:2/6 Bonus Chapters

-----------------------

[Simulation ended. Calculating rewards...]

Julian rubbed his temples and carefully thought back over this simulation.

He felt that the danger had mainly come from the three encounters with Archaludon.

Each one had been more dangerous than the last. During that final encounter, if he had not seized the timing and thrown his hammer...

If he had not made Archaludon’s head tilt slightly, Tinkatuff might have died.

It seemed the condition for smoothly surviving this simulation was avoiding Archaludon’s three attacks.

Unfortunately, the simulation had only lasted around two months.

Evolving Tinkatink into Tinkatuff was already Julian’s limit.

Following his training method, Tinkatuff would need at least another two and a half months before she could evolve into Tinkaton.

And during that time, she would still need to occasionally use one or two premium forging materials like Duraludon.

[Reward calculation complete]

[Simulation evaluation: A]

[A-rank evaluation. Attribute rewards obtained: Steel affinity +0.5, Iron Bones body talent]

Julian was already very satisfied with receiving an A-rank evaluation.

As for S-rank, never mind clashing with the Melmetal underground...

At the very least, he would have needed to evolve into Tinkaton and face Archaludon head-on.

He probably would not have needed to kill Archaludon.

With Archaludon’s strength, it felt even stronger than Cynthia’s Garchomp.

Of course, that meant Cynthia’s Garchomp at this current point in time.

Once Cynthia became Champion, Garchomp’s strength would surpass Archaludon’s level.

[Available item rewards: Power Weight, Tinkatuff’s Fairy Alloy, Duraludon Metal, Steelix Metal, Durant Metal, Scizor Metal, Corviknight Feather, Magnezone Screw]

This A-rank evaluation, apart from Power Weight, consisted entirely of raw materials.

Power Weight. Its effect was exactly what the name suggested. After a Pokémon carried it, the Pokémon’s strength would improve more noticeably.

[A-rank evaluation. Half of the attributes may be removed from the random pool for the next simulation]

[Remaining time until next simulation: 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 04 seconds]

With this 0.5 increase in Steel affinity, it had reached [Steel: 0.91]

After absorbing the Iron Bones body talent, could his Steel affinity increase a little more?

Combined with his [Dragon: 1.35] affinity, Julian should get a decent effect when training Goodra.

System, absorb the Iron Bones body talent!

[Beginning fusion of Iron Bones body talent for the host]

Pain! Pain! Pain!

This feeling was like someone using an iron hammer to forge his bones.

Could this Iron Bones talent have been hammered out little by little?

This process was very similar to when Tinkatuff forged her hammer, and the recoil that travelled back into her body also tempered her physique.

Then did this reward count as Steel type?

Or Fairy type?

As the pain continued, Julian fell asleep.

When he woke up the next day, he discovered that his bedsheets had been completely soaked by his sweat.

Julian immediately checked the changes in his affinity.

[Steel: 1.01], [Dragon: 1.4], [Fairy: 0.65]

The biggest increase was Fairy type, rising from 0.43 to 0.65, an increase of 0.22.

Next was Steel type, increasing by 0.1.

But why had Dragon affinity also increased by 0.05?

Surely it was not because the material used to forge the hammer had been Duraludon?

Thank you, Tinkatuff!

Seeing Julian carry his bedsheets out, Kai immediately came over.

"Master, should I take them to wash?"

Julian waved his hand.

"It’s fine. I’ll do it myself."

Kai looked at him, then suddenly circled him with some confusion.

"Master, why do I feel like you got quite a bit taller overnight?"

Julian blinked.

"Did I?"

He looked left and right, and felt that his line of sight did indeed seem a little higher.

"I’ll measure it later. Maybe my body’s been developing again recently. Keep training, but don’t overwork yourself too much."

"Kai, you’re still young. Be careful not to push your body so hard that you stop growing. You’re only eleven. If you end up only five foot forever, how will you find a girlfriend?"

Kai waved his hand.

"I don’t have any plans to find a girlfriend for now. Practising martial arts and tempering my muscles is much more interesting than playing with girls."

Julian shook his head.

Kai, oh, Kai...

Forget it. He was still a child. He could just keep burning with youth.

Once Kai turned eighteen, he would naturally understand how wonderful girls were.

"Alright. Go wake up all the Pokémon and take them to the backyard for morning training. That includes Dad’s Pokémon."

He had originally thought that when Dad was responsible for Gym challenges, he would train the Pokémon as well.

In the end, he was only responsible for the challenge matches. He did absolutely nothing when it came to training Pokémon.

If he could not go to the Game Corner, he just hid in his room and played single-player games.

Julian calling him Deadbeat Dad really was not discrimination.

After throwing the bedsheets into the washing machine, Julian found a measuring tape and checked his height.

He discovered that he had grown from 6’ to 6’2".

This Iron Bones body talent had increased his height more noticeably than Fighting energy and Intermediate Aura Constitution combined!

Growing 2 inches in a single night was indeed a little obvious.

Iron Bones. As the name suggested, it should improve Julian’s Defense.

However, when he went to the training field and tested himself with equipment, he found that his strength had also improved quite a lot.

Even the qi in his core flowed more smoothly through his body.

Grabbing an iron rod, Julian subconsciously used Fighting energy to try Tinkatuff’s hammering technique.

Hey!

You know what?

Although it was not as effective as Tinkatuff with her hammer, training this way could actually improve his body.

He should go back to Uncle Tsukasa’s hardware shop later and see whether hammering iron blocks would produce a better training effect.

He could also bring those metals to Uncle Tsukasa and let him take a look.

Especially Tinkatuff’s Fairy Alloy. It should be usable to train his body and further improve his strength.

Julian immediately took out Tinkatuff’s Fairy Alloy and weighed it in his hands.

Its weight was almost exactly the same as the hammer held by the Tinkatuff he had simulated.

However, the Fairy energy contained in this piece of Fairy Alloy was far purer than the hammer forged by the Tinkatuff he had simulated.

It felt as if its purity had already reached Tinkaton’s level.

...

After receiving the five challengers who visited today, Julian slowly let out a breath.

Even after gaining the Iron Bones talent, he still felt tired.

"Kai, I’ll leave the battle arena repairs to you and Machoke. I’m going to find Uncle Tsukasa."

Everyone had grown quite a bit stronger recently, and Julian had happened to obtain these metals.

He could use them to upgrade the Gym’s auxiliary training equipment.

Julian placed the metals rewarded by the system into the boot.

He also added the dragon scales Gallade had shattered from Hakamo-o last time.

He had not forgotten his promise to Uncle Tsukasa. If Hakamo-o broke more dragon scales, he would hand them over so Uncle Tsukasa could forge a sword.

After parking the car, Julian shouted, "Uncle Tsukasa, I’m here to make equipment!"

The blacksmith walked out cheerfully.

"You’re not asking me to make another wok this time, are you?"

The wok from last time had already been carried away by Maylene.

It was indeed very useful, not only because Uncle Tsukasa’s skill was good.

Hakamo-o’s dragon scales were simply excellent material!

Julian opened the boot.

"I got my hands on a batch of metals. I’d like to ask you to help me forge a new batch of training equipment."

"And there are Hakamo-o’s dragon scales too. You can forge a sword with them."

Looking at the metal in the boot, Uncle Tsukasa’s eyes lit up. He went straight for Tinkatuff’s Fairy Alloy and grabbed the hundred-plus pound metal block with one hand.

Julian widened his eyes.

Exactly which one of us has the Iron Bones talent here!?

Even he could not lift the Fairy Alloy that easily.
