I'm not a Pokémon succubus.

All in all, keeping Charizard in its Mega Evolution state for a long time is quite a burden for him.

However... once Coach Ai learns the techniques for Mega Evolution and becomes familiar with the process, Mega Evolving multiple Pokémon at the same time won't be a problem!

This is his confidence as the Great Flame Sword Immortal.

"Roar!"

The roar of the Charizard was heard.

After venting enough in the sky, it flew back to Coach Ai.

Aisha and Charizard exchanged glances before the latter exited its Mega Evolution stance.

"You will keep that Mega Evolution Stone from now on."

"Roar!"

Charizard put away the Mega Evolution Stone.

Aisha also put away the key stone.

In any case, Charizard's Mega evolution has taken the strength of his team to a whole new level.

After Charizard landed, Ai and the other Pokémon immediately rushed over to meet it.

Everyone looked at Charizard with curiosity as it evolved and degenerated in a short period of time.

"..."

The shiny metal monster still had a calm expression on its face, as if nothing could cause it to feel any emotional fluctuation.

However, anyone could see the unrest in the heart of this big iron lump.

Because it was circling around Charizard.

Take a look at the newly grown wings of Charizard after it evolved to the left.

Gesturing to the right, this guy has grown almost twice as tall.

Now, the Fire Dinosaur, which originally had to sit on its head to fly, has the ability to fly on its own.

The size of the Shining Metal Monster is just a small guy compared to the Charizard, which is more than three meters tall.

"Me-Ta-"

The Shining Metal Monster floated to the side dejectedly.

It looked at its two-day metal arm and sighed again.

Originally, it was the last of the six Pokémon that Ai was supposed to challenge Green.

If Charmeleon can't defeat Nidoking, it will join forces with Rotom the Cleanser to take on the giant beast of the earth.

And...the Shining Metal Monster, which is restrained by the ground attribute, has a low chance of winning against Nidoking, which was cultivated by Green with the "Secret of the Earth".

Of course, if Metal Glitter evolves into Metal Glitter, it would be extremely easy to deal with a Nidoking.

As a result, after evolution, the Pokémon that easily killed Nidoking was not it, but Charmeleon... Oh, it should be called Charizard now.

Charizard is the main contributor to this gym challenge.

Its great activity brought victory to Coach Ai, but also made it impossible for the Shining Metal Monster to appear.

Well...Shining Metal will naturally not be jealous of Charizard for this reason.

It is a very sensible child. It knows that even if it appears on the field, it will probably not be able to play any role. In this case, Charmeleon evolved into Charizard in the face of danger. Not only did it kill Nidoking gorgeously, but it also brought victory to Coach Ai. This is definitely a good thing.

but......

Seeing his friend, who used to chase him closely and couldn't pull away from him, suddenly become so strong and left him far behind in one breath, the Shining Metal Monster couldn't help but feel a sense of imbalance and a little bit of bitterness in his heart.

envious......

Hey.

When will I be able to evolve?

Watching Charizard, Marill and Umbreon complete their evolutions one after another, and shine brightly in the Gym Challenge with their huge leap in power, Shiny Iron Dumbbell, who showed no signs of evolving, was really getting anxious.

This is the difficulty of Quasi-God Pokémon...

The final evolutionary form possesses extraordinary power.

However, the cycle of growth and evolution is too long.

Before their final evolution, the gap between them and ordinary Pokémon is not that big...

"Me-Ta-"

The Shining Metal Monster sighed helplessly.

It is not a complaining character.

Normally, if it is surpassed by its friends, it will definitely quietly increase its exercise volume and strive to catch up as soon as possible.

The main reason during this period was that everyone evolved too collectively.

It's a bit depressing...

"Yo."

Coach Ai's smiling voice reached the ears of the Shining Metal Monster.

The Shining Metal Monster immediately put away his depressed expression.

Just as it was about to turn around and smile at Coach Ai, Aixia's hand patted its head first.

"Thanks a lot."

"Me-Ta-"

The shiny metal monster looked a little confused.

Hard work...Where is the hard work, yourself?

Coach Ai, what does this mean?

"Ah."

Aisha leaned against a big tree, looking at the group surrounding the fire-breathing dragon in the distance.

Marillin and Umbreon, who have completed their evolution, are also included.

He then looked at the shiny metal monster next to him who was also watching everyone, and said, "Are you envious of everyone who has evolved and gained powerful powers?"

"Me-Ta-"

With his head lowered, the metal monster said "yes" honestly.

It has always been unwilling to lie to Coach Ai.

It answers whatever Coach Ai asks.

"Hmm~ Is it possible that everyone is working so hard to become stronger and evolve in order to protect you and share the burden you carry?"

“Me-ta-!!”

Hearing Coach Ai say this with a smile, the Shining Metal Monster turned around in surprise and looked at him.

Coach Ai patted the child on the head.

"Did you forget it?"

He asked back with a smile, "In the beginning, when Eevee was just Eevee and Marill was still Marill, whether it was training, gym challenges, or the dangers we encountered in the wild, it was basically you and Charmeleon who carried all the dangers."

"At that time, the pressure on you two was really too great. You even handled more pressure than Charmeleon because you were the strongest one..."

"Me-Ta-"

The shiny metal monster nodded.

Coach Ai is right.

At the beginning of the journey, and even in the middle, it was the only one in the team who could withstand pressure.

However...Shining Metal Monster did not take any of these things as his own credit.

It believes this is what it should do for everyone.

"You're wrong."

Coach Ai spread his hands, looking helpless, and touched the head of the shiny metal monster with a bit of heartache.

He sighed.

"You think this is something you should do for the team, for everyone, so there's no need to keep it in mind, nor do you expect gratitude or thanks from everyone... But, we're not that unreasonable. Every effort, every injury, every desperate effort you put in—whether it's Eevee, Marill, or even Charmeleon, who's been bearing the brunt of your pressure, and who's also been intentionally or unintentionally cared for by you—everyone has seen it all."

"..."

"It's precisely because we don't want you to get hurt and don't want you to bear all the pressure alone that everyone trains so hard."

"..."

"Now that we've evolved and possess strength comparable to yours, we actually want you to rest... At least, during this period, you don't need to continue to bear the pressure, because we've grown. Those companions who were once protecting you can now also protect you."

Coach Ai spoke of everyone's thoughts with great emotion.

The Shining Metal Monster listened with mixed feelings.

Aisha looked at it and smiled helplessly.

Shiny Metal Monster is really a very good kid.

Reliable and responsible.

This kind of personality makes it not good at speaking, but has extremely high execution ability and the idea of protecting its companions.

Its behavior also indirectly inspired the fighting spirit of other partners, allowing Coach Ai's team to maintain a healthy competitive atmosphere at all times.

We all become stronger not to surpass anyone else.

It's about becoming stronger and sharing the pressure with your partners so they can take a break...

"so."

Coach Ai hugged the Shining Metal Monster's arm and said, "You don't need to feel down about not being able to catch up with us. You can use this time to regroup and train wholeheartedly, just like the people before you did, to catch up with those ahead of you!"

"After all, you can evolve, right?"

“Me-ta-!!”

The Shining Metal Monster nodded firmly.

It is a smart child who understands things quickly and will not lose his temper or get stuck in a rut.

After feeling everyone's kindness and receiving encouragement from Coach Ai, Shining Metal Monster will only train harder.

Waiting for the day when I can become stronger, evolve, and catch up with everyone else...

As for this period of time.

Well, it’s not bad to enjoy some leisure time in the back seat.

Since my friends want to show off, I can generously give them some opportunities to do so.

A team cannot have only one person showing off.

"Heh~"

Looking at the appearance of the shiny metal monster, Coach Ai knew that the kid had figured it out.
