Merotan can dissolve iron or other metals in the soil and absorb them into its body, converting the metals absorbed from the outside into electrical energy.

In addition to being used to maintain its body functions, this electrical energy can also be emitted from its eyes to attack opponents.

Meltan has a strong curiosity and is very interested in everything.

It has a very innocent temperament and extremely rich expressions.

Although the Meltans live together, when the time comes, the strongest one will absorb the other companions to evolve.

It's important to know that Melmetta, the evolved form of Meltan, is a Space General.

With a base Attack stat of 143 and a Speed ​​stat of 34, it's excellent. In Trick Room, combined with its Iron Fist ability and its signature move Steel Fist Double Strike, a first-strike Steel Fist Double Strike can be a guaranteed kill, and may even leave the opponent in a state of constant flinching.

The move Steel Punch Double is very powerful. Two hits with 60 power each result in 120 power. It can break the Sturdy ability and Focus Sash, and has a 30% chance to make the opponent flinch.

Its physical defense is also excellent, and its HP is very high, but its special defense is too low.

The attributes of the pure steel type are average.

The Iron Fist ability is decent, but Strongman would be even better.

It has many punching moves, so its synergy is pretty good. It's just a shame it doesn't have the priority STAB Bullet Punch.

Unlike Mega Aerodactyl, which has the Claw ability but likely doesn't know the powerful STAB moves Brave Bird and Double Headbutt, leaving it with no moves to use, this is considered extremely poor matchup.

Furthermore, Melmetal also has a Gigantamax form.

If Gigantamax Melmetal uses a Steel-type move, it will become Gigantamax Melt.

This Gigantamax move not only attacks the target and deals damage, but also puts all opponents into a three-turn trance state, preventing them from using the same move consecutively within two turns.

Back to the present.

Ash released Meltan, and its companions respected its choice, turning the nuts on their heads to bid it farewell.

As for the other Meltans, they settled in the wild on Melemele Island, and Ash instructed Beeko to send more Pokémon Inspection Bureau personnel to look after them.

Ash himself was already thinking about how to equip Meltan with moves and how to train it.

When Rowlet got home that evening, it was eating grapefruit for dinner.

A casual glance revealed that Meltan had chewed up the bottom of the frying pan in the kitchen, leaving it almost without a bottom. I was so shocked my eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. I rushed over.

One foot snatched the frying pan, which had already been chewed up, from Meltan's mouth, while another wing held Meltan down. After placing the pan back in place, both feet picked up Meltan and put it back into Ash's backpack.

Sigh, Woody is really worried sick about this new roommate.

Another day passed, and Ash and his friends arrived at Alola TV Station to cheer on Mallow.

Because Mamane signed up for a TV show called "Riddles, Alola Pokémon," a fast-paced quiz show.

The four contestants in Group A, including Mamane, are currently on stage, competing in the preliminary rounds.

The rules are based on a buzzer system. After the host reads out the question, the partner Pokémon presses the buzzer button in front of it first, which gives the trainer the right to answer. If the answer is correct, points are awarded; if the answer is wrong, no points are added or deducted.

For every question answered correctly, a flower wreath will fly over and place a flower wreath around the neck of the contestant who answered correctly.

The first question was asked when an outline of an Alolan Exeggutor tree had just appeared on the big screen, and the host had only just read out the words "Alolan Exeggutor..."

One of the contestants, Kuwashi, had his partner, Pokémon Dodo, press the buzzer, and then confidently and quickly answered,

"10.9 meters!"

"correct answer!"

As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone in the audience looked at Kuvasi with disbelief, and it was hard not to suspect that this guy had cheated on the questions.

Some audience members were even amazed by Kuwashi's breadth of knowledge and his deep understanding of the Pokémon of the Alola region.

Ash was utterly speechless. Seriously, how did you know you were asking about height just from a silhouette? Couldn't you have asked about weight or attributes?

If you're just guessing, what if the host asks a different question? You'll be in big trouble, won't you?

The second question came quickly. Based on a picture of Pokémon footprints, Mamane successfully guessed that it was a Hypnos' footprints and scored a point.

In the next 16 questions, Mamane and Kuvasi each answered 8 correctly, bringing the score to 9-9.

This match seemed to become a one-man show for Mamane and Kuvasi.

The two contestants next to me looked like VIP standing room fans; you'd think they'd chased me onto the stage for autographs.

Finally, we arrived at the final question, number 19, which was also the decisive question.

Unfortunately, Little Duer pressed the buzzer before Togodemar, and Kuvasi also answered the last question correctly, resulting in Mamane's elimination.

After the match, Ash comforted Mamane, saying that you lost not because you lacked knowledge, nor because Togoldema was too slow to react and couldn't out-react.

It's not because Togdmar's name is too long, but because it's too long.

It's at least longer than Xiao Du'er's name.

By the time you finished calling Togodemar's name, Kuvasi's little boy was already almost touching the button.

This meant that Little Du'er could set off two minutes earlier than Togodemar to press the button, so of course he couldn't beat her.

Upon hearing this, Mamane immediately felt much better; what Ash said was indeed true.

Just as everyone was about to leave the TV station, a man in pink clothes happened to walk by and recognized Xiaozhi at a glance.

He immediately stepped forward and greeted them warmly.

"Hello, are you the prosecutor Satoshi who recently gained fame for protecting the Alola region from the evil Aether Foundation?"

"Yes, it's me. And you are?" Xiao Zhi asked, frowning.

"Oh, look at me, I'm so excited I forgot to introduce myself!"

My name is Giorgio Galambino, and I'm a producer at Alora Television.

"I directed the detective drama series 'Alola Detective Lucky,' which recently became a huge hit in the Alola region."
