Pokémon: Evolving From Charmander To WarGreymon Chapter 167 - 166

Shiko glanced at Registeel.

Not long after the liquid alloy had been poured over its body,

he could clearly feel it.

The Steel-type aura filling the entire space had begun to grow unstable.

Registeel's breathing rhythm had also changed.

It seed to have sensed what was happening to its body.

Its sleeping body was waking up.

A powerful energy was spreading outward in suppressed but restless waves.

Retreat!

The mont he sensed this, Shiko decisively turned and left the cave.

What a joke.

If Registeel woke up and the first Pokémon it saw was him,

then there was no doubt

that it would vent all of its anger on him.

If he wanted to reap the benefits like a fisherman profiting from the fight,

then he had to find the right place for it.

He had to wait until both sides were badly weakened.

Quickening his pace,

Shiko passed through the alloy passage and returned to the entrance before him.

Then,

he found a high spot with a good view on the opposite side of the cave.

After climbing up,

he quietly observed the cave entrance and waited.

anwhile,

several hundred ters above the mountain,

the Military's surveillance officer

also saw Shiko co out of Registeel's cave

through the lens of his binoculars.

"Everything seems normal..."

After staring at GeoGreymon for a while,

and noticing that there did not seem to be anything unusual about him, the surveillance officer muttered softly.

Then he shifted his gaze to the cave entrance.

Quietly.

Everything was normal, and there was nothing unusual happening nearby.

"Hm? What is he staying there for?"

Through the binoculars,

after hurrying to a high point on the opposite side, Shiko stopped moving.

Hidden among layers of overlapping silver trees,

his eyes were fixed on that cave entrance,

as though he were carefully observing the situation.

That sowhat unusual behavior of his

caught the attention of the surveillance officer.

Originally, he had wanted to report this information

to Minister Kenjiro right away.

But after thinking it over,

there was no crisis at the mont.

GeoGreymon had also already co out of the cave.

Everything was normal.

Naturally, there was no need to make a report.

So,

he could only continue doing his job and keep watching the situation below.

Inside a hidden and deep cave sowhere in the Mt. Silver range,

that nut-shaped Pokémon

was trying once again

to gather together the large amount of mory alloy before it.

The liquid alloy flowed and condensed,

forming a tall humanoid body.

A powerful Steel-type aura circulated through it.

A surging, terrifying pressure followed and spread outward.

The natural pressure belonging to a third-tier Legendary swept through the area.

Shiko, waiting on the distant high ground,

instantly sensed that wave of aura

the mont it appeared.

His gaze unconsciously followed the flow of that aura

and turned toward the deepest southern part of the Mt. Silver range.

So it's there!?

Staring at those blurry mountain peaks,

Shiko said inwardly.

The body remained solid for several minutes.

Splash!!

A crisp sound rang out.

That condensed body of liquid alloy

suddenly shattered apart

and fell to the ground, spreading out into a thin layer of mory alloy.

It had failed again!

Sure enough, missing that piece of alloy from back then was a huge problem.

And besides,

during this past month,

for so unknown reason,

even though the entire Mt. Silver range should, in theory,

have been extrely rich in Steel-type materials and resources,

for a full half month,

it had been as if sothing

was competing with it for those resources.

The nut-shaped Pokémon looked extrely irritated.

That black eyeball of its

kept spinning nonstop inside the hex nut.

Hm!?

At that mont,

it suddenly sensed a familiar aura.

This...

Could it be the missing part of its alloy!?

It instantly beca excited.

Holding its breath,

it carefully sensed the faint aura fluctuations in the distance.

No mistake!

It really was!

That uniquely rich aura

was without question the missing piece of itself!

It had finally found it!

It trembled with excitent

and forcibly tried to establish a connection with that puddle of alloy,

wanting to draw it back.

Yet unexpectedly,

no matter how hard it tried,

aside from being able to sense that trace of aura,

that puddle of alloy

seed to have completely broken free of its command and control.

And furthermore,

it seed to have found so kind of rare and powerful Steel-type material

and was frantically devouring and absorbing it without restraint.

The nut-shaped Pokémon did not think too much about it.

Its desire for a complete form filled its mind so thoroughly

that all it could think about now

was taking back this final piece of liquid mory alloy.

The liquid alloy on the ground gathered together,

ford into a ball,

and then

quickly rolled away

in the direction of the aura it had sensed.

Within the dense silver forest,

Shiko waited patiently.

From the mont that powerful aura had appeared

from the deep southern reaches of Mt. Silver,

Shiko had begun to feel excited and full of anticipation.

Half an hour after that aura disappeared,

Shiko finally

spotted, at the entrance of Registeel's sleeping cave,

a large puddle of inconspicuous silver liquid alloy that almost blended completely into the surroundings.

If not for the dense Steel-type aura radiating from the alloy,

Shiko would most likely have overlooked it.

It's finally here!!!

Looking at that large mass of alloy,

Shiko held his breath.

His eyes grew feverish.

Things really were developing in exactly the direction he had planned.

That mass of alloy stopped at the cave entrance,

as if it had stiffened and frozen in place.

Then in the very next second,

that puddle of alloy began writhing rapidly.

It piled itself together madly, condensing at incredible speed.

In the end, it ford into a silver-white, sturdy humanoid body.

Above its body

was a hex-nut-shaped head.

That distinctive appearance

made Shiko recognize its identity at a glance.

A pure Steel-type third-tier Legendary—ltal!!!
