"Bring Dugtrio out and have it look for more of this kind of liquid mory alloy."
Shiko gave the instruction to Hiko.
Hiko nodded.
Without another word, she released Dugtrio from its Poké Ball.
"Chi-chi!"
Under Hiko's prompting, Dugtrio finally forced itself to overco its fear of Steelix's corpse. It shuffled over, leaned close to the puddle of liquid tal, and sniffed hard a few tis.
"Chi-chi!"
Dugtrio cried out, then turned its head to look at Hiko and nodded, indicating it had morized the scent.
"Thanks for the hard work!"
Hiko raised her Poké Ball and recalled Dugtrio.
Once they left this underground space, she would release Dugtrio again and have it search for those liquid alloys.
Seeing that Dugtrio had morized the sll of the liquid alloy, Shiko began preparing to absorb the energy inside this puddle.
His sharp fingertips pierced into it.
Shiko imdiately felt the liquid alloy gnawing nonstop along the surface of his skin.
That tingling, prickly sensation made his scalp go numb and goosebumps rise all over his body. It was extrely unpleasant.
Under the system's effect, Shiko began rapidly stripping away the Steel-type energy contained in the liquid alloy.
The speed was fast.
Thread after thread of pure energy could be seen with the naked eye surging swiftly into his body.
Hiko, watching from the side, had her eyes light up again and again.
Even though this wasn't the first ti she had seen it…
Shiko's almost godlike thod still shocked her.
Very quickly, the energy inside his body piled up crazily.
That prickly numbness eased by a lot.
But the more Shiko extracted energy from the mory alloy, the more clearly he could sense an intense resistance emotion coming from within that alloy.
It was as if this puddle of liquid alloy was alive, fiercely resisting his extraction.
Unfortunately for it—
In front of Shiko's system, that kind of resistance made no difference whether it existed or not.
Its only "use" was confirming for Shiko who the true owner of this mory alloy was.
Steel-type energy continued to be drawn in and accumulated, swelling again and again until it reached an extrely bloated critical point.
Finally, quantitative change triggered qualitative change.
The Steel Attribute Law inside Shiko's body was raised in one jump—improving to 23%, with an increase of 2%.
Feeling his strength rise once more, joy appeared on Shiko's face.
At this pace, as long as he absorbed enough of this liquid mory alloy, he could quickly reach the requirents to evolve into WarGreymon.
However, Shiko also knew this idea was most likely unrealistic.
This forced absorption just now had probably already been sensed by the original owner of this liquid tal.
If he wanted to repeat the trick next, the difficulty would be much higher.
Moreover, with a third-tier legendary's level of strength, it wasn't sothing Shiko could "pick a fight with" right now.
Forget his current Elite Four level—
Even if he stacked up one more tier and reached Champion level, it still wouldn't work.
Only after reaching an even higher level—Master-level—would there be the slightest possibility of contending with those third-tier legendaries.
If he evolved to WarGreymon first, then advanced to Champion level afterward…
Shiko felt that he should barely be able to clash head-on with a third-tier legendary.
Every single one of them possessed terrifying power, sothing ordinary Pokémon could never compare with.
But even though he was still far from those third-tier legendaries' crushing pressure—
Shiko knew that if he wanted to rapidly fill in the remainder of his Steel Attribute Law, he still had to "shear wool" from a third-tier legendary.
Since facing the other side one-on-one was not advisable…
Then he would simply switch thods.
A thought moved through Shiko's mind, and in an instant he ca up with a viciously clever idea—diverting disaster onto soone else and reaping the profit while seated on the sidelines.
He shared this idea with Hiko.
"You're serious?!"
"You really want to target two third-tier legendaries?!"
Hiko took a long while to co back to herself.
She looked at Shiko with eyes full of shock and disbelief.
She never imagined Shiko had already analyzed the origin of this liquid mory alloy—belonging to so third-tier legendary.
Even less did she imagine that Shiko's next plan would directly sche against two third-tier legendaries at once.
It was insane.
From ancient tis to the present, nobody had ever dared do sothing this bold.
Taking a knife to a legendary?!
That was absolutely asking for death—tired of living and thinking their life was too long!
"Relax. I'm confident."
"If it really doesn't work, we just run."
Shiko smiled at Hiko as he spoke.
If he weren't urgently trying to complete the next stage, he wouldn't be in such a hurry to use such a risky thod.
But risky as it was, based on Shiko's analysis, the feasibility of this thod was extrely high.
As long as his luck wasn't bad, he could use this plan to directly fill his remaining Steel Attribute Law to 100%.
"Fine."
Hiko hesitated for a mont.
In the end, she looked at Shiko and nodded heavily.
...
A central base city in the middle region of the Great Axia Alliance.
The Great Radiance Ga Arcade.
In the heart of the city stood a massive place—covering an enormous area, packed with people, bustling and lively.
No one would ever imagine that beneath this ga arcade…
Was Team Dark's headquarters base.
At this mont, inside one room in the underground base—
Professor Shen, who had only just barely escaped from the underground base in Wintergreen Forest, knelt on the floor.
He looked haggard, his face deathly pale.
Facing the figure behind the desk, whose back was turned toward him, his whole body trembled violently like a shaking sieve.
