Chapter 45: ch42
🎊HAPPY NEW YEAR🎊
Tiger Mountain Secret Realm.
Surrounded by mountains, there are many hills rich in minerals, producing special jade and metals. Known for its reputation in the market, this area is called Tiger Mountain Stone. This is why Alex chose the Tiger Mountain Secret Realm for Larvitar. Restarting the experience of eating soil as a child and growing up requires a lot of sand and minerals to forge a strong physique and character.
Three days have passed, and Larvitar is about to break through to the surface.
"Roar!" Charmeleon put down the skewer it was holding, staring intently at the source of the commotion. Larvitar would likely emerge from there.
"Oulu!" Riolu showed interest as well.
Under everyone's expectant eyes, the previously flat ground suddenly collapsed, dust swirling around. A gray-green head emerged.
Alex took a closer look, recognizing his quasi-god Larvitar!
"Kira-"
Larvitar reappeared, full of excitement, waving its paws enthusiastically. The sharpness in its eyes was intimidating, and its physical fitness had improved significantly. Its height had increased to about eighty centimeters. Normally, Larvitar's height is only 60 centimeters, and previously, it was only 50 centimeters, indicating stunted growth.
Additionally, the silver-white armor on Larvitar's body emitted a faint glow in the sun, looking very cool.
Seeing this, Alex was thrilled.
"Alright, alright!" Larvitar had truly transformed! Whether in physical fitness, latent talent, or inner spiritual strength, all had improved significantly.
"Roar—" "Oulu!" Both Charmeleon and Riolu expressed their welcome back. Jirachi also clapped and smiled happily. They all witnessed Larvitar's transformation, a cause for celebration.
Alex eagerly opened Larvitar's information panel to check it out. He was in for a surprise.
Larvitar's level had increased rapidly!

Not only had the level reached 29, just a step away from evolution, but with the Shiny skin, Larvitar's talent had dramatically increased from the original 2V to 5V. Even the last individual value of speed, which wasn't maxed out, reached 30. It shared the same talent as Riolu. Legendary potential was within reach!
"This is the talent a real quasi-god Larvitar should have!" Alex was overjoyed. He bent down to pick up Larvitar, but nearly hurt his back trying.
I forgot I'm not a superhuman, Alex thought. Larvitar's current weight was 100 kilograms—about 220 pounds—and Alex almost strained himself without realizing it.
"Haha!" Alex laughed to mask his embarrassment. Charmeleon and Riolu didn't notice, but Jirachi sensed Alex's awkwardness.
The little guy rolled its eyes and covered its mouth, giggling.
"Alex, you're too ambitious," Jirachi patted Alex on the shoulder, lightly teasing.
Too ambitious? In truth, Alex wasn't weak; Larvitar was just much stronger now. Not just anyone could lift it.
"Alright," Alex said, clapping his hands. He let Larvitar jump up on its own. The mountain was nearly half-eaten through, and Alex needed to move quickly. Otherwise, it might collapse, causing an accident.
On his way, Alex handed Rhydon an energy cube as a reward. Grandma Bertha's Rhydon had served as a diligent bodyguard, and Alex didn't want to leave it unrewarded.
"Roar!" Rhydon expressed its gratitude, accepting the energy cube and starting to chew.
Alex thanked Rhydon before recalling it back into the Poké Ball.
Subsequently, Alex found a quiet place. "Larvitar, enjoy some skewers first, and I'll give you something better later."
For the past three days, Larvitar had been eating dirt and stones. No matter how much one likes something, they can tire of it. It was time for a change with some barbecue, then Soft Sand later.
"Kira-" Larvitar's eyes widened with anticipation at the sight of the sizzling meat skewers. Grabbing the skewers from Charmeleon, it began to eat eagerly.
Simultaneously, Alex sprinkled Soft Sand over the skewers as a seasoning. "Larvitar, after eating this Soft Sand, you might cocoon."
Now having a Ground-type affinity, after Larvitar evolves into Tyranitar, its Ground-type will change to Dark. The Soft Sand would lose its effect then. The best time to give it to Larvitar was now.
"Kira!" Larvitar acknowledged, understanding the plan. Starting to evolve at level 30, after consuming the Soft Sand, its power would be enhanced, likely triggering evolution into a cocoon—Pupitar. If experience points weren't enough, they could grind more wild Pokémon.
"Kira-" Larvitar was delighted with the taste. After three days of eating dirt, enjoying something different nearly brought tears of joy to its eyes. And the Soft Sand had a great taste too. It was smooth, like a smoothie, adding a unique flavor to the barbecue.
Alex watched silently as Larvitar devoured the barbecue. Charmeleon and Riolu finished grilling the leftovers before eating them, creating a pleasant atmosphere.
Larvitar consumed a dozen large skewers in one sitting, its mouth covered in red oil. It was a satisfying sight. Meanwhile, a notification sounded in Alex's mind.
"Ding! Larvitar successfully reached level 30!"
"..."
Following this was a bright light—the light of evolution!
"It's happening!" Alex exclaimed. "Larvitar is evolving!
