Pokémon: Chronicles of Freedom-Chapter 499 - 498: It Seems I Found a Treasure

Cain smiled as he patted Weavile's head. It had finally evolved, reaching level 39, just like Honchkrow, only one step away from becoming an advanced-level Pokémon.

At the same time, the system scanned and displayed Weavile's data.

Sneasel had finally completed its evolution and become Weavile. Moreover, thanks to the effect of the Razor Claw, Weavile had achieved dark blue quality, which indicated outstanding talent.

This new quality placed it in the same category as Slowking, making it one of the most promising Pokémon in Cain's team.

Cain hadn't expected Sneasel to progress so much. Although the Razor Claw played a crucial role, Sneasel's efforts and determination to improve couldn't be ignored.

This quality was more than enough for Weavile to develop in the future. Every effort it made would undoubtedly be rewarded.

Additionally, its ability had changed from Keen Eye to Pressure.

The Pressure ability should not be underestimated.

Look at the Pokémon that possess it: the legendary birds, the legendary dogs, Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Deoxys, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Kyurem.

All of them are legendary Pokémon.

Apart from the legendaries, only a few like Aerodactyl, Wailord, Dusknoir, Absol, Vespiquen, Spiritomb, Weavile, and Bisharp can have this ability.

In battle, Pressure could increase the energy cost of opponents' moves, and in the wild, it could intimidate other Pokémon. It was an extremely useful ability.

Although Weavile wasn't a legendary Pokémon, the Pressure ability was still excellent for it.

Weavile's evolution had further strengthened Cain.

Now, both Honchkrow and Weavile, fully evolved Pokémon, had reached level 39, just one step away from the advanced level.

Once he overcame this hurdle, Cain would officially become an advanced-level trainer, putting him on the path to becoming a quasi-elite-level trainer—the greatest achievement of his past life.

Weavile was not only a source of joy for Cain but also for the rest of the team, who approached to congratulate it.

The most envious was Skorupi, whose small pupils gleamed with admiration at Weavile's transformation.

Skorupi also longed to evolve like Weavile had—a transformation that brought a fundamental change.

Cain patted Skorupi's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, first master what you already know. You'll evolve sooner or later, and you'll want to be even stronger when you do, right?"

Hearing this, Skorupi nodded vigorously. Strength! That was its goal.

Skorupi had grown more than Cain expected. Thanks to its size and strength, it had already secured its place in the team, and its future development would become increasingly promising.

After ensuring all his Pokémon were satisfied, Cain returned them to their Pokéballs.

With Slowking's help and its Teleport move, Cain disappeared from the forest.

After several short-distance uses of Teleport, Cain and Slowking returned to the familiar backyard.

Upon seeing Cain appear, Larvitar, who was playing on the ground, immediately jumped up. It ran toward him with clumsy steps, leaving deep footprints in the ground as it moved.

Cain watched with an awkward smile. What could he do? He couldn't carry it.

But he didn't want to hurt Larvitar's feelings either.

With no other option, Cain used his psychic powers to lift Larvitar, whose weight was significantly greater than that of an average Larvitar.

Though it was still growing, it already weighed more than twice the usual amount. However, it showed no difficulty in moving.

Could Larvitar simply be an overweight Pokémon?

If Larvitar grew at the same rate as an average Tyranitar but with double the weight, its attacks would be devastating.

Would moves like Earthquake have extraordinary effects?

Thinking about it, Cain stopped worrying about Larvitar's weight.

To maintain agility, Cain decided to keep increasing its weight. To withstand such weight, calcium supplements to boost bone density were essential.

Fortunately, there was still calcium left from what he'd used with Skorupi, and Miltank could continue giving Larvitar its daily dose of calcium.

Although Larvitar might be heavy, it needed to learn to control its strength. Every step it took left footprints, entirely depending on the ground's resistance.

Cain, through telepathy, began teaching Larvitar how to control its strength. Although Larvitar didn't fully understand, with explanations and demonstrations, it started to get the hang of it.

The first goal was simple: walk without leaving deep footprints.

That was its first challenge, something it needed to focus on daily.

Meanwhile, the other Pokémon watched Weavile with envy. It was their first time witnessing an evolution.

Although Aron had seen its kind evolve into Lairon or Aggron, it was already used to it. But the smaller ones, seeing another Pokémon evolve for the first time, had their curiosity piqued.

Like children admiring adults, not yet understanding the responsibilities adults must bear—that was the innocence and beauty of youth.

Cain let Larvitar play with Aron and the others.

However, something on the ground caught Cain's attention. In the spot where Larvitar had been playing with mud, there was a sculpture made of dirt.

A figure of Miltank.

An impressive display of control over ground-type energy. Despite its young age, Larvitar already showed remarkable mastery of ground-type energy.

Cain looked at the Miltank sculpture, detailed and vivid, and was amazed.

This Larvitar had more talent than he had imagined.

It seemed that...

He had found a true treasure.
