Chapter 108: The Terrifying Nidoking! Gengar's Vow! (2/4, Please Subscribe)

Within the soft white light, Nidorino's body, like plasticine, was constantly kneaded, gradually stretching and growing larger.

It was evolving.

The sudden white light drew everyone's attention, and they all turned their gaze toward it.

Seeing Nidorino surrounded by white light, everyone except Menchi knew that Nidorino was evolving.

The appearance at this very moment was very similar to when Gastly evolved back then.

Thus, under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Nidorino's shadow gradually enlarged, its stature rapidly shooting up, slowly growing into a giant.

A terrifying beastly aura also erupted from the white light, and the powerful air pressure caused the surrounding air to stall.

Immediately after, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, blowing the surrounding lawn down to one side, sending countless blades of grass flying into the sky with the wind.

As if a monster had descended, everyone subconsciously held their breath and focused, staring dumbfounded at the tall figure within the white light.

Bisigi's eyes narrowed; she subconsciously rose from her chair, her wine-red eyes staring tightly at Nidorino.

Her expression became serious.

Such an aura...

Even she had to give it a second look.

【Evolution... truly a miraculous psychic beast.】

Bisigi sighed in her heart; Luo Ge's psychic beast could actually increase its strength through this method called "evolution."

Moreover, it seemed that the increase was not just a little bit.

She was the strongest present, so she was the clearest about the change in Nidorino's strength.

Without exaggeration, this strength could be called a leap; the results of previous training were completely displayed at this moment.

Like a cocoon transforming into a butterfly, Nidorino, after long-term unremitting effort, now had these results gushing forth with the evolution.

The strength would become even more astonishing!

After a few breaths, the aura on the field gradually weakened, slowly retracting, and the white light faded away with it.

A tall, burly, terrifying beast, entirely white and purple, appeared before everyone's eyes.

Nidoking, debut!

Nidoking is purple, with no spots on its body, only its chest and abdomen being white.

Skin as hard as stone and a long poison horn are its characteristics.

Nidoking is a massive monster-type Pokémon.

It is a land Pokémon that walks upright on two legs, and in terms of size, it is much larger than Nidorino and Nidoran.

Nidoking possesses very powerful strength, being skilled at using its hard horn and strong body for collision attacks.

The edges of its ears have small, sharp spikes; the inside of its ears is green, and a row of thick, large spikes runs along its back from the neck to the tail.

"Roar!"

Nidoking, facing the full moon in the sky, suddenly opened its blood-filled maw, emitting a deafening beastly roar.

It was happy about its transformation.

Now, it finally has decent strength to protect its family and companions.

Boom!

Nidoking's thick tail behind it flicked slightly, instantly creating a ground crack trace three or four meters long on the ground.

Nidoking is a Pokémon proud of its strength, boasting huge hands, feet, and a tail that can attack relentlessly, and it excels in close combat.

With a single pull of its hands, it can tear apart steel war chariots.

The swing of its thick tail possesses astonishing destructive power capable of snapping sturdy iron towers; one strike alone can break a utility pole in two like a matchstick.

Once its thick, powerful tail wraps around an enemy, it can easily snap the opponent's spine.

By utilizing its steel-hard skin to deliver powerful collisions, its horns are so hard they can pierce diamonds.

"Oh my god?!"

"Just flicking its tail and..."

Menchi was speechless, unable to help but cry out, frightened by Nidoking's terrifying power.

Even the fiercest creatures she had seen could not reach this level.

Just casually flicking its tail could easily cause an effect like a ground crack; she couldn't imagine what would happen if it struck a person.

"Roar."

Nidoking looked at Luo Ge in front of it; the beastly nature in its eyes slowly receded, the aura was no longer sharp and terrifying, and its gaze became gentle.

Luo Ge looked at the big-boned Nidoking that had grown, stroking Nidoking's solid belly, and sighed:

"You've grown up..."

He had watched Nidoking evolve from the original Nidoran, to Nidorino, and now to Nidoking, step by step.

And precisely because of this, the emotion in his heart was exceptionally deep, as if watching a child grow up bit by bit.

"Roar."

Nidoking reached out and hugged Luo Ge; its eyes were also somewhat moist; it had finally grown up too.

Now it had the confidence that if it encountered that 【General Gurtta】 again, one tail swipe could smash it apart.

It finally had the backbone to protect everyone.

"Bui bui."

Eevee was hopping on the grass, looking at the big-boned Nidoking in front of it, and found it had to tilt its head back to see its face.

Nidoking thoughtfully used its hand to lift Eevee, letting it stand on its shoulder so it could gaze at the more distant scenery.

For a moment, everyone gathered around Nidoking to congratulate it, celebrating its greatly increased strength.

Gengar, however, was floating on the other side, quietly watching everyone celebrate Nidoking, neither approaching nor speaking...

Seeing Nidorino evolve and being congratulated by everyone, Gastly's heart grew dark, and all its usual spirit vanished completely.

Like a lone wisp of exhaust gas, it drifted toward a deserted corner in the distance.

Luo Ge, standing beside Nidoqueen, caught sight of the departing Gastly, and the joy on his face faltered slightly.

On the deserted grassland,

Gastly hung its head low, letting the bright moonlight above pour down upon it, while wisps of black gas occasionally emanated from its body.

It knew it should be by Nidorino's side—no, now called "Nidoqueen"—celebrating just like everyone else.

But...

It was so envious.

Watching its old partner evolve, it too wanted to evolve; its love for Luo Ge and the others was no less than Nidorino's.

It also wanted powerful strength to protect Luo Ge, Machop... and even Eevee and the rest.

Nidorino had evolved, yet its own evolution remained indefinitely far away, with no knowing when it might finally occur.

Perhaps next it would be surpassed by Eevee, followed by the newly arrived Honedge and Yamask.

Eventually becoming the lowest existence, a Pokémon of no use at all, until forgotten by its companions?

After all, both Honedge and Yamask could likewise devour dead thoughts.

It was not an essential presence.

"Gastly."

Luo Ge's voice came from behind.
