"Where are they?"
"It seems that after entering the Secret Kingdom, Ethan ca straight toward this place!"
At that mont, at the entrance of the cave, Samuel Silver slowly descended while riding on his Skarmory.
After landing, he saw an Aron erge from underground and shout at him a couple of tis.
"Did he really go into that cave...?"
Samuel murmured thoughtfully, a doubtful expression on his face.
...
anwhile, deep inside the cave.
"Zzzt!"
As soon as they arrived there, ltan beca extrely agitated, beginning to move back and forth with great excitent.
"Is there sothing here?" Ethan asked, observing the surroundings.
He discovered that the cave was completely empty, with absolutely nothing inside it.
However, just as he finished speaking, he suddenly saw an intense electric light burst out from ltan's body, striking one of the cave's stone walls.
Boom, boom, boom!
Under ltan's attack, the entire cave began to tremble, and fragnts of rock started falling nonstop from the struck wall.
Clang!
At that instant, a tallic sound hitting the ground abruptly caught Ethan's attention.
"Is this... ltan's nut?"
Suddenly, Ethan was completely stunned.
What had produced the tallic sound was a golden nut!
"A nut?"
"Could it be that ltan has a hobby of collecting nuts?"
"Wait, no, sothing doesn't add up!"
"This nut... could it belong to another ltan?"
Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the nut was practically identical to the one ltan wore on its head.
Although, thinking about it, don't all nuts look alike?
He rembered that in the ani, Jas had even used ltan's nut to repair a car—and it fit perfectly!
But if this nut belonged to another ltan... then where was that ltan?
Why was there only a nut here and not ltan's liquid, rcury-like body?
"Zzzt!"
While Ethan was lost in thought, ltan had already quickly flown over to the nut, circling around it nonstop.
Then, under ltan's control, the nut began to float and slowly integrated into its body.
Boom!
The very next instant, a dazzling silver light burst out from within ltan.
Inside that light, one could vaguely see that ltan's body seed to have beco a bit larger.
"Damn!"
"Don't tell that... it evolved?"
Ethan jumped in shock, his eyes wide open, his face filled with pure ecstasy.
If ltan successfully evolved into ltal, that would truly be an authentic Mythical Pokémon!
With a Mythical Pokémon on his team, Ethan felt he could walk the world with complete arrogance.
"Zzzt!"
Under Ethan's ecstatic gaze, the silver light slowly dissipated.
But...
The ltal Ethan had imagined did not appear.
Within the light was still ltan, only now it was clearly larger than before.
A normal ltan was about 0.2 ters tall. Ethan's ltan was already more than twice that size, reaching about 0.5 ters. And after absorbing that nut, its height had reached approximately 0.7 ters.
"It really grew!"
Ethan's eyes were filled with amazent. He took out a ruler and carefully asured it—indeed, 0.7 ters!
"Wait... then did that nut really belong to another ltan?"
"And by absorbing it, ltan increased both its size and its strength. If ltan could absorb a large number of nuts, could its strength continue to increase endlessly, and even evolve into ltal?"
"Could this be the thod of evolution from ltan to ltal?"
A flash crossed Ethan's mind, and his eyes slowly widened with understanding.
In the gas, ltan needed to consu 400 ltan candies to evolve, but in the real world, things like candies obviously didn't exist.
So in reality, could these ltan nuts replace the function of candies?
"But if in reality ltan needs to fuse nuts to evolve into ltal, wouldn't that an fusing with other ltan?"
Ethan frowned. Could this really be a fusion-based evolution?
In fact, fusion-based evolution already existed among other Pokémon.
For example, Nosepass: when placed in a special magnetic field, it fuses with three other Nosepass and evolves into Probopass, reaching a height of 1.4 ters and gaining the Steel type.
So could ltan have a similar evolutionary requirent?
"This nut was perhaps left behind after the death of another ltan. After dying, all of its power condensed into the nut, allowing ltan, by fusing with it, to increase both its size and its strength."
"Therefore, to evolve through fusion, ltan doesn't necessarily need to fuse with other living ltan; this type of nut, which concentrates all the energy of a deceased ltan, could also work."
Ethan recalled the scene of ltan absorbing the nut and began forming hypotheses in his mind.
"It's very possible!"
"If that's the case, I only need to collect enough nuts for ltan to evolve into ltal. Moreover, ltan seems to have a special perception toward these nuts, allowing it to find them faster."
"And I could also collect them through the Pokémon Researchers' Guild..."
Ethan's eyes grew brighter and brighter. As long as ltan could evolve into ltal, he wouldn't hesitate to pay a high price to collect the nuts.
"Zzzt!"
After absorbing the nut, ltan also seed extrely happy, moving around enthusiastically.
"ltan, how do you feel?" Ethan asked, setting aside his thoughts.
"Zzzt!"
ltan nodded cheerfully. Suddenly, an intense electric light burst out from its entire body, and a powerful energy instantly spread outward, displaying its current strength.
"What a powerful fluctuation of electric energy! It seems that this ti your power increase was enormous."
Hearing Ethan's praise, ltan beca even more excited. In the blink of an eye, its body transford into a long spear that shot toward the wall. The spear pierced it as if it were paper, sinking in completely.
Then, ltan displayed other moves, and without exception, all of them had improved trendously. Its overall capabilities had strengthened in every aspect.
After showing most of its moves, ltan's rcury-like body suddenly began to writhe, and before Ethan's astonished gaze, it split into two, turning into two identical ltan on the spot!
