Chapter 62

He had a round body, four short and stout legs, and a large, round head.

His head, legs, and back were all covered in a layer of steel armor.

He looked incredibly hard.

It was precisely an Aron.

After burrowing out of the earth, Aron curiously looked at the surrounding scenery.

At this moment, Su Yu, who was fast asleep, was shaken awake by the Combusken standing guard.

"Combusken, is something wrong?"

Su Yu asked groggily.

Combusken pointed outside, then chirped softly.

"Cha-mo~~"

Su Yu immediately understood; it seemed the Aron he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

He just hadn't expected it to appear in the middle of the night.

Su Yu quietly crawled out of the tent and rushed out.

Fixing his gaze, he indeed spotted a Pokémon not far away.

[Name: Aron (Steel, Rock)]

[Gender: Male]

[Level: Lv.14]

[Ability: Rock Head (HP is not reduced even when using moves that cause recoil damage.)]

[Potential: Champion]

[IVs: HP (31), Attack (31), Sp. Atk (25), Defense (31), Sp. Def (31), Speed (23)]

[Moves: Tackle, Harden, Metal Claw, Rock Tomb, Roar, Dig, Sandstorm]

[Description: Eats iron ore and occasionally consumes railway tracks to forge the steel armor that protects its body.]

Upon seeing Aron, Su Yu immediately led Combusken forward to capture it.

Seeing the human and Pokémon nearby, Aron prepared to Dig and flee directly.

"I won't give you that chance. Combusken, use Flamethrower!"

Combusken spat out a curtain of fire, illuminating the entire plain.

The fire curtain flew toward Aron like a rocket.

"Whoosh!" The great fire instantly engulfed Aron completely.

Due to the vast difference in levels, Aron immediately lost the ability to battle.

At this moment, the aftermath of the battle also woke Gu Ying and Yan Ruyue.

The two quickly walked out, only to witness the scene of Su Yu taking out a Poké Ball to capture Aron.

"This is an Aron!! I didn't expect you were battling it."

After coming out, Yan Ruyue saw Aron and spoke immediately.

Su Yu nodded, "After evolving, Aron becomes an expert in physical attack; combined with powerful defense, it can be said to have both bulk and damage output."

After sending out Aron, Su Yu healed it.

When Aron woke up, it realized it had already been captured by the man before it.

"Please take care of me from now on, Aron."

Su Yu said softly.

"Aron!"

Aron nodded, then quickly burrowed back into the ground.

"Why did Aron run away?" Gu Ying asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Could it be that it doesn't like you and ran off on its own?"

Su Yu also didn't know exactly what Aron intended to do.

However, he did not believe Aron had simply fled.

Thus, after waiting a while, Aron burrowed out from the large rock in the center.

Along with it came a stone that looked pitch-black and hard.

"This is a Hard Stone! A Rock-type treasure!"

Gu Ying's voice warped with surprise; she recognized what Aron had brought out instantly!

This was a treasure worth one hundred million!

Anyone who saw it would be shocked.

Su Yu now understood that Aron had left specifically to retrieve this Hard Stone.

In fact, several days ago, he had already asked Combusken to search beneath this rock, but nothing had been found.

Su Yu had thought the Hard Stone didn't exist, but now it seemed very likely it had been hidden by Aron.

He walked up to Aron, "You did well, Aron. Wait until you've trained for a while and your foundation is solid before using it."

Aron's eyes narrowed into crescents; it nodded happily, then handed the Hard Stone to Su Yu.

[Hard Stone: A stone that will absolutely never crack. When held, it boosts the power of Rock-type moves.]

At this moment, the teachers at the monitoring station watched the scene before them, their eyeballs nearly popping out in shock.

Naturally, they would not stop the "One-Six-Three" monitoring late at night; instead, they had dispatched even more personnel.

This was precisely to prevent students from being ambushed by wild Pokémon during the night.

But what no one here expected was that Su Yu actually encountered an Aron at night and even obtained a secret treasure!

This simply left them jaw-dropped!

"What kind of luck is this! After taming an Aron, he even got a Hard Stone! Give me a dozen Pokémon like that."

"Does this student really have such good luck? That's a Rock-type secret treasure! He just stumbled upon it during field training!?"

"Hiss, if I'd known this earlier, I would have sent my Pokémon to search too. If I'd found one, wouldn't I be rolling in wealth!?"

"His name is Su Yu, right? He just tamed a Treecko a while ago, and now he's tamed an Aron, one carrying a Rock-type secret treasure to boot?"

"He truly possesses great fortune; I'm envious..."

Su Yu's haul made quite a few instructors and drill masters extremely envious.

After all, this was a Rock-type secret treasure, the kind that would spark a frenzied scramble among countless people if released into the open!

Yet, it was brought back as a bonus, buy-one-get-one-free.

For the remaining time, Su Yu spent most of his days training his Pokémon.

Since he had only recently tamed Treecko and Aron, Su Yu needed to build rapport with them.

Over these past half-month or so, although Su Yu occasionally ventured out to see if he could find any treasures, he came up empty-handed every time.

His performance also relieved those who had been watching him closely.

If you kept letting him go on like this, wouldn't he end up obtaining a mythical Pokémon!?

On the day the secret realm concluded, everyone boarded the school bus and returned to the school playground.

Tianyun University was still organizing a closing ceremony here.

After returning to their class positions, the classmates nearby began discussing things enthusiastically.

"This military training is finally over; if it had continued, I think I would have been worked to death."

"Tell me about it. I originally thought I'd catch a few Pokémon inside, but instead of catching any, I ended up being chased by them."

"I did okay; I caught a Pidgey. Not bad luck."

At the rear of the class formation, Su Yu spotted the others from Dormitory 408; Ren Yun, Yu Xing, and Xu Xu Junmin were all standing there.

After a month of military training baptism, the skin of all three had turned somewhat dark.

Upon seeing Su Yu, the three immediately greeted him.

"Su Yu, how was the military training? I was nearly worked to death."

Ren Yun chuckled, "Su Yu had two girls keeping him company; he should be even more exhausted than us."

Xu Xu Junmin nodded with full agreement, "After all, dealing with two girls must be quite troublesome."
