Chapter 174: Meeting Melmetal Again

Chapter 174: Chapter 174: Meeting Melmetal Again

A/N:7/14 Bonus Chapters

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

Julian had not expected that in this battle royale arena, there would actually be Pokémon using a farming strategy.

This Aggron really was not afraid of leaving itself isolated.

Back when Julian had still been Duraludon, he could only flee in panic before Aggron.

But times had changed!

Now, Julian was simulating Tinkaton, and he possessed power on the same level as Aggron.

Naturally, it was time to reclaim his pride.

The Tinkaton queen’s expression, however, was somewhat serious.

"A monster like Aggron has to be eliminated!"

"Where’s Melmetal? Has it not acted against Aggron?"

Mawile shook her head.

"There seems to be some kind of understanding between them."

The Tinkaton queen swung her war hammer.

"Take me to your king."

They rushed all the way to the third underground level.

The number of Mawile here had increased.

It seemed to be Mawile’s home ground.

The Mawile king was strong, but still quite a bit weaker than the Tinkaton queen.

Julian suddenly noticed that the Mawile king was holding a stone in his hand.

The symbol on it made Julian’s eyes widen.

A Mega Stone!

There was no way this Mawile could use a Mega Stone and complete Mega Evolution on his own, right?

It sounded unbelievable.

But somehow, it also felt possible.

The Mawile king looked at Julian.

"This Tinkaton is quite strong. Are you sure you want to bring her along to fight Aggron?"

"It would be a pity if she died."

The Tinkaton queen shook her head.

"Maybe after fighting Aggron, her strength will be about the same as ours."

Aggron had already reached the fourth underground level and was currently hunting the Klink and Klang living there.

When Julian and the others arrived, Aggron had already started fighting the ruling Klinklang of the fourth level.

The Mawile king smiled slightly.

"Let them fight first. We’ll pick up the spoils from behind."

Aggron’s strength from devouring its own kind was indeed powerful.

It was actually suppressing the ruling Klinklang.

At that moment, the ground trembled.

Archaludon drilled out.

It bit down on Aggron’s arm.

Aggron let out a miserable cry, but still forced itself to swing its tail and send Klinklang flying.

However...

The ground began trembling again.

Two steel giants, one in front and one behind, broke through the earth and emerged.

They surrounded Klinklang and Archaludon in the middle.

That group of Meltan had actually fused and evolved into Melmetal!

Julian gripped his war hammer.

Today, all the enemies who had ever offended him had somehow gathered together and started fighting.

Julian observed carefully, then awkwardly realised that even the weakest Melmetal was stronger than him.

As expected, Melmetal was the kind of mythical Pokémon that gained tremendous strength the moment it evolved.

Julian looked at the two rulers.

"Who are we helping right now?"

Melmetal had actually lowered itself to ally with a monster like Aggron.

All to eliminate Klinklang and Archaludon in advance.

"Attack the steel giants!"

This island could not allow Pokémon this absurd to exist!

With the steel giants’ reproduction ability, they only needed to devour metal for a year to produce quite a few Meltan.

Those Meltan could then fuse into another Melmetal.

If they were not treated seriously, the entire island might become it’s hunting ground.

They stopped watching.

The Tinkaton queen directly swung her war hammer and charged forward. Her target was the weaker Melmetal.

As for the Mawile king, he gripped the Mega Stone in his hand.

With a burst of light, he really did evolve into Mega Mawile.

Mega Mawile looked at Julian and said, "Follow me. We’ll attack Aggron together."

At the level of battle Julian was now participating in, it would take a very long time to determine victory when everyone was cautiously preserving their strength.

As for the Melmetal that had once chased him into panicked flight...

It was fighting Archaludon and Klinklang alone, yet still held the advantage.

Aside from its attacks being a little slow, Melmetal’s offensive power and defence were both incredible!

It easily suppressed Klinklang and Archaludon.

Julian swung his war hammer. While Mega Mawile attracted Aggron’s attention...

Gigaton Hammer fell!

It struck the middle of Aggron’s tail with heavy force!

Aggron let out a pained howl.

It had not expected a Pokémon to attack that spot specifically.

The base of the tail was very thick and difficult to damage.

The tip of the tail was often used by Aggron to attack, so it had been trained to be even sturdier than the base.

That left the middle section of the tail as one of Aggron’s weaknesses.

"Damned Tinkaton, I’ll kill you!"

After landing one strike, Julian immediately retreated far away.

Aggron fired Hyper Beam, but Julian dodged it.

Aggron lowered its head and began charging at Julian.

Seeing Aggron rush towards him, Julian immediately led it towards Archaludon’s side.

Mega Mawile spat two Focus Blast’s from the two huge jaws above his head.

They struck Aggron’s back and immediately pulled its hatred back.

"They’re already having a hard time holding off Melmetal. Don’t make things more chaotic for them yet."

Melmetal was indeed strong.

Even against the newly evolved one, the Tinkaton queen did not have an easy time.

It was too hard.

She finally landed a Gigaton Hammer and smashed a piece of metal from Melmetal’s waist.

But after the metal fell to the ground, it actually wriggled, absorbed the surrounding ore, and condensed into a Meltan.

No way! It can do that too?

The Tinkaton queen seized the opportunity and kicked Meltan away.

It flew towards the Mawile king, who opened his jaws and ate it.

Melmetal’s body wriggled, and liquid metal refilled the damaged section.

Its strength only dropped by a tiny amount.

It even swung its fists, smashing nearby ore and devouring it into its body.

Julian had no energy to pay too much attention to Melmetal.

Because of his sneak attack, Aggron had no choice but to split off part of its attention to guard its tail and prevent Julian from ambushing it again.

But this time, Julian’s target was not the tail.

He swung his war hammer, stirring up a Fairy Wind as a distraction, and sent it flying into Aggron’s face.

Sand flew into Aggron’s eyes, making it uncomfortable.

Suddenly, it felt intense pain from its right foot.

"Damned Tinkaton, I’ll kill every last one of you!"

Mega Mawile opened his jaws and fiercely bit down on Aggron’s tail.

She directly bit it off from the spot Julian had struck earlier.

Aggron did not have Melmetal’s regeneration ability.

There was no hurry to eat the tail.

With its tail bitten off and its right foot seriously injured, Aggron lost its balance.

It could barely stand properly while running, let alone launch a proper attack.

Mega Mawile’s bite force was even more exaggerated than Julian had imagined.

He easily tore open Aggron’s body.

Then Julian could swing his war hammer and attack through those wounds.

He struck Aggron again and again.

Tinkaton and Mawile working together were practically a match made in heaven!

As Julian’s final hammer landed on Aggron’s head, Aggron collapsed heavily to the ground.

But then...

Double Iron Bash!

That powerful Melmetal actually charged over to steal their spoils!
