Psyduck seemed possessed by a god, its body unconsciously floating into the air, the dense Psychic energy rendering it sky blue. Coupled with its deep blue, vacant eyes, it was extremely intimidating.
Lairon was only at Superior-tier, while Psyduck was only at Good-tier. But at this moment, Psyduck erupted with Elite-tier energy! Lairon was so scared it trembled, immediately turning to flee, not daring to stay there.
In an instant, a strong fluctuation enveloped Lairon, like an invisible giant hand gripping it tightly, making it unable to move! Psyduck waved its hands, and Lairon's heavy body was immediately sent flying backward, directly knocking down several trees. It fainted on the spot. Lairon's proud steel armor also showed fine cracks. This showed how powerful Psyduck's Psychic abilities were.
Immediately after, Psyduck's Psychic power was depleted, and its body fell to the ground with a thud, its eyes returning to their dazed state.
"Ga?" Psyduck held its head, looking around at the mess with confusion, unsure of what had just happened. It had no memory of its recent display of power.
Inside the villa, Kaito was engrossed in watching a movie with his Pokémon. The movie was called Investigate, Arcanine! It told the story of a police officer and his Arcanine partner solving cases and going on adventures together. It's hard to say about the other Pokémon, but his Arcanine was absolutely captivated.
The system notified: Prompt: Psyduck defeated Lairon. Level begins to increase: 22, 23... 26! Battle Recorder: Completed one battle with a wild Pokémon. Mission Reward: Ten Exp. Candy M-type.
Kaito: Who did Psyduck fight? Lairon?
Kaito looked again, confirming he wasn't mistaken. For Psyduck to advance so many levels at once, this Lairon was clearly a Superior-tier Pokémon. The problem was, Psyduck was only Good-tier, wasn't it? It wasn't a high-potential Pokémon like Gardevoir, so it shouldn't have been able to challenge a higher-level opponent.
"Gardevoir, sense where Psyduck is?"
The Capture
In the forest, "Ga ga?" Psyduck sat there blankly, trying hard to remember why it was there. It seemed to have wanted to eat some berries.
"Psyduck, how did you end up here?" Kaito suddenly appeared beside Psyduck, having used Teleport to get here. He had used Gardevoir to sense Psyduck's location, and was still a bit disbelieving since this was quite deep in the forest.
"Ga ga ga." Psyduck wobbled to its feet, gesticulating with its small hands for a long time, vividly describing that it knew nothing.
Kaito rubbed his forehead helplessly. Apparently, Psyduck had wanted to eat some berries to freshen its mouth, but got lost, went deeper and deeper, and accidentally ran into Lairon. As for how Psyduck defeated Lairon... Psyduck indicated that the other party might have just fallen on its own.
Kaito suspected his Psyduck had some special condition. Similar to Misty's Psyduck in the original Pokémon, which would unleash immense power whenever its head took a heavy blow.
Kaito walked over to the unconscious Lairon nearby and threw a Poké Ball to capture it.
Lairon's profile: Name: Lairon, Nickname: None, Ability: Rock Head, Type: Steel-type, Rock-type, Level: Lv. 34, Individual Values: HP (25), Attack (31), Defense (31), Special Attack (23), Special Defense (24), Speed (20), Skills: Rock Tomb, Metal Claw, Roar, Protect, Iron Head..., Egg Moves: None, Potential: Elite-tier.
It seemed this Lairon was quite good. The deeper one went into the mountains, the higher the chance of encountering high-strength, high-potential Pokémon. Of course, the risk was also higher. It just depended on whether one's own strength was up to par.
Owning a Mountain
The next morning, Kaito arrived at the hill next to the farm. Looking out, the scenery was beautiful, with both raised rock formations and gurgling springs. This area was to the left of the farm, around the beehive, and was now home to Lairon.
Lairon builds its nest in mountains where iron ore is buried and near delicious springs. Therefore, it often fights with those who come to mine iron ore. It loves to eat iron ore and strengthens its steel body by drinking its fill of iron-rich spring water. So this place was very suitable for Lairon to live. There were both ores and delicious spring water. On this mountain, there were also some Geodude, Roggenrola, and other Pokémon. For the current Lairon, this place seemed quite vast. But once it evolves into Aggron, it will be almost there.
"Roar." Lairon looked affectionate, gently nuzzling Kaito with its hard head. It really liked Kaito. Not just because of the effect of Viridian Power, but also because it now had a mountain. Owning a mountain is the wish of every Lairon, and even Aggron.
Kaito smiled and said, "Good boy. There's plenty of food here to eat, and remember to go play with everyone at the farm too."
The hill was right next to the beehive, and strictly speaking, it could be considered within the farm's boundaries, only a few minutes away. In the future, his Pokémon roster would grow larger and larger. Many Rock-type, Ground-type, and similar Pokémon could be arranged to live on this hill.
"Roar." Lairon nodded, indicating it would interact more with everyone. Of course, except for a certain terrifying duck. What happened last night made Lairon reluctant to see Psyduck, fearing it might go berserk again.
Kaito now has a mountain and an Elite-tier Lairon to guard it! How will he manage Psyduck's uncontrolled, immense Psychic Power, and what benefit will the Lairon's mountain bring to the farm?
