They still used spoken words.
Eat~
what happened?
To its surprise, the Flash Iron Dumbbell seemed to be less hot, but the holy fire on its body did not weaken; on the contrary, it continued to intensify, like a burning lotus enveloping its steel body.
"The sacred fire burns away rust and white paint; it won't cause any harm to your body," Bai Hong explained, as if he could read the doubts in its heart.
Eat~
I don't understand the flashing iron dumbbell.
It turned its head.
He was clearly thinking about it seriously.
"Burning target. As long as the burning target is identified, the Holy Fire won't harm you, so don't worry." Bai Hong continued to burn the body of the Flash Iron Dumbbell.
Burning rust.
Burning white paint.
It's equivalent to removing impurities.
Perhaps the rust had penetrated too deeply and couldn't be removed so quickly, so Bai Hong simply sat down on the ground and slowly released the sacred fire.
Ee-ee~
What took so long?
Gengar is keeping watch nearby.
In order to prevent anyone from disturbing Bai Hong.
"Stop complaining!"
Kirachi unleashed his Comet Fist.
He waved it at Gengar.
hum~
I'm not afraid!
Gengar suddenly concealed itself.
They say they're not afraid.
They slipped away very quickly.
Five minutes later, under the intense heat of the holy fire, most of the rust on the Flash Iron Dumbbell had fallen off. The most obvious change was that this guy could now levitate.
"Don't move, it's not over yet!" Bai Hong pressed down on the flashing iron dumbbell, lowering it to the ground as close as possible.
Eat~
Upon hearing this, the flashing iron dumbbell...
Obediently do as instructed.
torment!
I've endured immense suffering.
But in order to completely remove the rust from its body, it had to endure it, otherwise it would suffer from the torment of rust again in the future.
As far as Bai Hong knows, Steel-type Pokémon don't seem to rust easily. However, nothing is absolute. For example, Duraludon will rust after getting rained on.
The white paint turned to ash.
Gradually peeling off.
Next came the rust.
Almost all of them fell to the ground.
The burning of the sacred fire seems to have the effect of removing impurities, but it might be a bit difficult to burn the rust to ash.
"Okay!"
Bai Hong withdrew his hand.
Exhale and inhale.
He didn't want to waste energy burning the rust to ash; this was enough. The gleaming iron dumbbells were back to normal.
Whoosh! The flashing iron dumbbell flew up excitedly, feeling light and refreshed, as if all ailments had disappeared, and incredibly happy.
To express my gratitude to Bai Hong.
He excitedly circled around several times.
But as it circled around, a white light suddenly burst forth from its body. This guy's evolution was quite unexpected.
"It's evolved!"
Kira clapped his little hands.
Clapping happily.
Ee~
Gengar appears.
His eyes were full of anticipation.
"Could it be that Iron Dumbbell got too excited and that's why it evolved?" Bai Hong unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, genuinely happy for it, since he had never seen Iron Dumbbell evolve before.
Some trainers believe that two Iron Dumbbells must be combined to evolve into Metallica, and the most outrageous thing is that the Pokédex has this record, but in reality, it is not necessary to do so.
As a late-blooming Pokémon, Beldum can only learn a pitifully small number of moves in its initial stages. It seems that it could only Tackle before, but now it can learn Iron Defense, Iron Head, and other moves through TMCDs.
Ding~
The Flash Iron Dumbbell's body underwent a transformation. First, it grew a torso, then two arms, and finally a pointed nose on its face, greatly increasing its weight.
酷~
The white light faded.
It successfully evolved into a shiny metal monster. The basic color scheme remained unchanged: the pointed nose, the spiked horns on the sides, and the claws were all yellow, while the rest of the body was a beautiful metallic white.
"Huh? How did Iron Dumbbell evolve?" After searching for a long time, Daigo finally found Bai Hong by following the dazzling white light.
"It got too excited just now and inexplicably evolved into a metal monster. You won't blame me, will you?" Bai Hong wasn't deliberately hiding it, but felt there was no need to reveal his secret.
"fine!"
Daigo took out a Poké Ball.
Just as they were about to touch the shiny metal monster.
But to everyone's surprise, the glittering metal monster suddenly dodged away.
酷~
The shimmering metal monster refused.
He instinctively hid behind Bai Hong.
"This is a new ball."
Despite Daigo's explanation.
But it doesn't seem to be of much use.
The shiny metal monster immediately grabbed Bai Hong's arm. Without a doubt, it was telling Daigo with its actions: I want to be with Bai Hong!
"You want to be with him?"
Oh~
The glittering metal monster responded.
His eyes were very determined.
Chapter 202 Daigo Makes a Change
"what?"
Bai Hong frowned.
His eyes were full of disbelief.
The shimmering metal monster, fearing rejection, shrank back in its steel body, not daring to look up and meet his gaze—a subconscious reaction.
Considering that Steven has a very strong Shiny Metagross, even if it is brought back to the research base, it will not have the opportunity to follow Steven and will only be used as a breeding machine in the end.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that due to the good relations between the families, it might even be given as a gift to other rich kids. President Zvoich previously gave two iron dumbbells and a metal monster.
Whether it's iron dumbbells or not.
It's still a metal monster.
The capture rate is pitifully low.
It's no exaggeration to say that if you encounter a Beldum in the wild, you might not be able to catch it even if you use sixty Poké Balls.
The Daigo family's research base has cultivated several Iron Dumbbells, but the probability of producing a Shiny one is uncontrollable. At the beginning of the year, they finally managed to cultivate a Shiny one, but it was stolen by an insider.
After evolving, the shiny metal monster became exceptionally bright. It thought that rather than being taken back to the research base, it would be better to firmly grasp its own destiny.
After careful consideration.
Ultimately, he decided to follow Bai Hong.
酷~
It arched.
The force was well controlled.
Otherwise, the sharp nose would prick Bai Hong's waist. This action was like a subtle way of coaxing: Hurry up and agree!
"That depends on Daigo's opinion." Bai Hong couldn't just snatch it from him. Although he also wanted to capture a Shiny Metal Monster, this one wasn't wild; it was bred at someone else's research base.
