Pokémon: My Online Friend Is Cynthia

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Evolution, Tinkaton

A/N:3/14 Bonus Chapters

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

Julian thought about it.

If one species was allowed to snowball successfully and gain power that completely suppressed every other species...

Then this island’s battle royale would become extremely dull.

Since it was a battle royale, there had to be spectators behind it.

Julian narrowed his eyes.

As long as he did not completely exterminate a species, and allowed those powerful Pokémon to retain a chance of revival, then at least the spectators behind the scenes should not interfere.

He only needed to consider how to deal with a siege from those powerful Pokémon.

Julian shook his head.

"How strong do you have to be before you can revive?"

The Tinkaton queen casually tossed the heavy hammer in her hands.

"When you’re strong enough to revive, you’ll naturally sense it."

"You should go back and continue improving your hammer and body. Don’t keep staring at Archaludon."

"Last year, every Duraludon was killed, and Archaludon itself was almost beaten to death."

"That’s why it’s especially sensitive this year. In particular, the final Duraludon was casually killed by me, so it already holds a grudge against us."

"If you continue provoking it, I’m afraid it’ll spend every day watching you."

Fair enough...

After returning, Tinkaton gripped her war hammer, her eyes burning as she looked at Julian.

"Tinkatuff, you’re not really planning to let Archaludon go, are you?"

Hold on...

Why is she making it sound as if we are the stronger side?

"Then let’s work hard to become stronger and try to kill Archaludon during this battle royale!"

First, they would kill Archaludon.

Then they would wipe out the remaining Duraludon.

They would completely cut off its chance of returning!

With Uncle Tsukasa’s techniques, combined with Tinkatuff’s powerful physical condition, Julian needed only twenty-seven days to raise both the war hammer and his body to the limit.

Julian narrowed his eyes.

When Corviknight landed happily on the mine mountain, he spoke.

"Let’s go. Today, I’m going to hunt a Duraludon and evolve officially!"

During this period, Julian and the others had reduced how often they hunted Duraludon.

They focused mainly on hunting species that did not have any top-level monsters protecting them.

For example, Scizor and Durant.

Before long, they saw a Duraludon chiselling stone beside a mountain.

"Look, Duraludon!"

Julian only glanced at it.

"No. This Duraludon is too weak. Let it grow a little more!"

They continued forward and actually encountered a Duraludon eating a Steelix.

Its aura was imposing. One look was enough to tell that this was a tough one.

Julian smiled slightly.

"I like this kind of buy-one-get-one free deal!"

He was the first to jump from Corviknight’s back.

A trace of disdain flashed through Duraludon’s eyes.

This hammer technique of falling from the sky had already spread among the Duraludon.

Trying to ambush them again would not be that easy.

Duraludon shifted aside to dodge, but Julian suddenly spun in mid-air.

A burst of energy exploded beneath his feet.

It pushed Julian forward at even greater speed!

Fear flashed through Duraludon’s eyes.

Then the massive war hammer kissed its head.

Duraludon’s vision went black.

Fortunately, its endurance was extremely strong.

It collapsed to the ground, but did not lose consciousness.

Julian raised an eyebrow.

"Still not unconscious? Looks like I found something good!"

Another hammer descended, sending Duraludon away for good.

"The Steelix belongs to everyone. Don’t blame me for taking this Duraludon for myself."

"Once I evolve, I’ll lead everyone to eat something even better!"

Julian swung the war hammer and fused Duraludon’s steel body into it.

When Duraludon had been completely absorbed, Julian felt himself break through his limit.

His body shone with white light.

Tinkaton widened her eyes.

Ever since the day Julian learned about the battle royale, it was as if he had transformed completely. His rate of progress had become even faster.

Clearly, he was still in the Tinkatuff stage, yet his strength had already surpassed Tinkaton’s.

Now that he was evolving into Tinkaton, how much of a gap would remain between him and the queen?

Had he reached the level where revival was possible?

After evolution, Julian felt that his current strength was roughly around Gallade’s level.

But the resurrection feeling the Tinkaton queen had mentioned did not appear.

Julian estimated that he probably needed to reach Goodra’s level.

Or perhaps even surpass Goodra?

He was certain that the Tinkaton queen was stronger than Cynthia’s Garchomp.

But the gap should not be too huge.

Perhaps around the level of a Champion’s ace?

Maybe only strength at that level could obtain the right to revive.

Tinkaton looked at Julian expectantly.

"How is it? Do you feel it?"

Julian shook his head.

"How could it be that easy? Aside from the queen and Archaludon, have you seen any other Pokémon capable of reviving after all this time?"

In any case, Julian had a feeling.

The real monsters were underground!

Julian blinked.

Was the battle royale held on the surface, or underground?

After evolving, Julian once again climbed onto Corviknight.

The moment he jumped on, Corviknight felt his body sink.

"How did you get so much heavier?"

Tinkaton’s body was not much larger than Tinkatuff’s.

Even with further increased muscle density, the body itself only weighed a little over twenty kilograms.

But Julian’s war hammer now weighed more than one hundred and fifty kilo!

Evolution really was mysterious. It was not only Tinkatuff who had evolved. The war hammer in his hands had also transformed within the light of evolution.

With this experience of his hammer evolving, Julian gained a deeper understanding of forging.

The phrase "craft that steals from nature itself" gave Julian a faint spark of inspiration.

Last time, when Tinkatink evolved into Tinkatuff, he had not felt much.

This time, because his forging skill had improved, Julian could sense the process more deeply.

To achieve this kind of miraculous transformation through forging technique...

Only that phrase could describe it.

Uncle Tsukasa was indeed a forging master, but Julian’s experience of personally becoming Tinkatink and evolving step by step had let him avoid countless detours compared to ordinary masters.

They continued forward and unexpectedly encountered a lone Bisharp.

Julian smiled slightly and jumped down from Corviknight’s back.

With that kick, Corviknight’s posture instantly distorted.

He almost crashed.

Julian descended.

Gigaton Hammer!

The poor Bisharp was directly smashed into a metal pancake!

Wonderful!

After returning to the mine mountain, the queen actually appeared in front of Julian on her own initiative.

She pointed her war hammer at him.

"From now on, you train with me!"

She could sense Julian’s strength.

With just a little training, he should be able to reach the standard for revival.

Being able to train with the Tinkaton queen was something Julian was very willing to do.

She leapt, and in an instant, she disappeared from Julian’s sight.

Julian raised his war hammer and immediately felt a huge force crash into it.

Only then came the clang!

Julian was sent flying directly.

The Tinkaton queen smiled and said, "The hammer is good, but you’re not using it well enough! Remember, we are Tinkaton, not hammers."

"No matter how good a hammer is, it’s only a tool. If you want to bring out its power, you have to rely on this body!"

Julian had only just steadied himself when the she charged again.

This time, he barely caught a trace of her movement.

He swung his war hammer to meet her.

Then he was sent flying again.

Julian’s war hammer was indeed not much worse than hers anymore.

But when they actually fought, the Tinkaton queen was a Tinkaton.

He was just a hammer...
