Chapter 223: Purifying Sticky Beauty Dragon, Absorbing the Vajra Jewel Fragments!
Everyone was chatting back and forth, which actually reminded Ash.
I recall that Sticky Treasure originally lived in a wetland, apparently because Flower Lady of the Fairy-type brought a swarm of Bug-type Pokemon to invade its home.
That's why, after losing its battle ability, it was taken away by a passing Chief Swan, and ended up meeting me.
Therefore, this Sticky Treasure developed a psychological resistance to all Bug- and Fairy-type Pokemon.
Thinking of this, Ash couldn't help but feel heartbroken seeing Sticky Treasure shiver.
He reached out and embraced the Sticky Treasure trapped in midair,
Although it entered a warm embrace, Sticky Treasure continued to tremble, making Serena and the other girls feel heartbroken as well.
"Could this kid have been bullied by Fairy-type Pokemon?"
Ash thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up,
"Exactly!"
He shoved Sticky Treasure into Serena's arms, then Ash quickly turned and took out the Purifying Stone from his spatial backpack behind him.
"Sticky Treasure, this is for you; with it you can evolve into a Steel-Dragon-type Pokemon, so you no longer need to fear Fairy-types—in fact, you'll counter them."
While Ash was speaking,
Serena felt Sticky Treasure's slimy touch, and her body stiffened,
"Soft and slimy, how disgusting!"
(òwó?)!
"Sticky~"
Sticky Treasure immediately showed a depressed expression again, and the clouds that had just dissipated gathered once more, this time focusing on drenching Serena.
It drenched Serena straight through.
Fortunately, Serena's clothes were dark enough, so there was no exposure,
but the drenched Serena gained a hint of astringency,
Ash set up a tent on the spot, providing Serena a place to change clothes.
At the same time, he handed the Purifying Stone to Sticky Treasure.
He also repeated what he had just said.
"Sticky?"
Sticky Treasure lifted its head to examine the Purifying Stone in Ash's hand, clearly feeling a huge energy inside that was attracting it.
"Sticky~"
Sticky Treasure jumped onto Ash's hands, tentatively wrapping its body around the Purifying Stone to draw in its internal energy.
During this process,
Sticky Treasure's level kept rising,
The Mega Evolution energy in the Purifying Stone was continuously transformed, and finally Sticky Treasure's level stopped at 54.
Whoosh!
A dazzling yet soft evolution white light appeared, enveloping the Sticky Treasure that looked like a puddle of putty.
In the light, Sticky Treasure's body gradually grew larger.
But when the light faded, what appeared before everyone was not the Kalos Sticky Beauty lacking a snail shell that Clemont remembered,
but rather a huge metallic snail shell had grown, making it more like a snail's Sticky Beauty.
After evolving into Purifying Sticky Beauty,
Sticky Beauty's body once again glowed with evolution light.
In the light, Sticky Beauty's height jumped directly from 0.7 meters to 1.7 meters.
It grew a pair of legs and a pair of twin tails,
The metal shell that had concealed its body shifted to its back, resembling a giant snail that had grown legs.
Unlike the modern gentle-natured Sticky Beauty Dragon,
Purifying Sticky Beauty Dragon's personality is stubborn and it despises solitude; once the object of its affection leaves, it flies into an uncontrollable rage.
This is likely largely due to the harsh survival environment of the Purifying-era Sticky Beauty Dragon.
The exact nature of the Sticky Beauty Dragon before us remains to be examined,
but it is certain that
after evolution, the Purifying Sticky Beauty Dragon's metallic shell on its back will no longer be merely a shell,
it can be freely controlled by the Sticky Beauty Dragon's will, able to be rigid or flexible, remaining as a metal shell or extending outward to form a thick steel tail.

……
"Ah! It's already evolved to its final form?!"
Clemont was completely stunned,
Wow! Two evolutions in a row!
How cute, sticky beautiful dragon!
But this sticky beautiful dragon's appearance is different from the illustrated guide!
Right, it's a Shiny Stone; turns out the sticky beautiful dragon also has a Shiny Stone form!
Just as everyone was chatting,
and at the same time the illustrated guide's voice sounded,
Clemont carefully examined the Shiny Stone sticky beautiful dragon's appearance, its shell made of steel-like tail, and pushed up his glasses.
Shiny Stone sticky beautiful dragon, does it have a Steel type?
Sticky dragon~
The sticky beautiful dragon also curiously lowered its head to glance at its own appearance, especially the heavy metal shell behind it.
Likewise, very curious.
She could directly feel that the unpleasant sensation from the Fairy aura of the Jigglypuff had disappeared.
I just don't know if it's due to level increase and evolution,
or if it truly has gained the Steel type that counters Fairy.
All changes originated from Ash, and thus everyone's gaze fell upon Ash at this moment.
Facing everyone's curious gaze,
Seeing the sticky beautiful dragon truly evolve into the Shiny Stone form, Ash, in high spirits, immediately nodded.
Exactly! Compared to the modern sticky beautiful dragon, the Shiny Stone sticky beautiful dragon's type changed from pure Dragon to Steel Dragon.
And the greatest advantage of the Steel Dragon is naturally avoiding the three weaknesses of Fairy, Ice, and Dragon.
In return, although it gains two new weaknesses to Fighting and Ground that target Steel,
it is ultimately beneficial over detrimental,
especially since Fairy, immune to Dragon attacks, has overwhelming suppressive power over pure Dragon,
but now it is instead countered by the sticky beautiful dragon.
Moreover, having the Steel+Dragon combination of the two strongest resistances also gives the Shiny Stone sticky beautiful dragon multiple new resistance attributes.
At the cost of no longer resisting Fire,
the Steel type gains resistance to Normal, Flying, Rock, Bug, Steel, Grass, Psychic, and several other attributes,
among them, Grass, which was already resisted by Dragon, is now quadruple resisted.
Furthermore, the Shiny Stone sticky beautiful dragon's trait changed from moist body to hard armor, making it impossible to hit vital spots.
And the distribution of base stats,
Speed and HP were cut, while Defense gained 30 base points, reaching 100.
As a pseudo-legendary sticky beautiful dragon, its tolerance has surged straight up!
Ash still has a chance to inherit part of Dialga's attributes from the Diamond Jewel shard, and the sticky beautiful dragon's limit remains undetermined.
Nowadays,
Since the sticky beautiful dragon has become a Steel Dragon, it naturally falls within the usage scope of the Diamond Jewel.
While thinking,
Ash took out the Diamond Jewel shard under everyone's gaze,
Almost the moment the Diamond Jewel shard appeared, everyone's and the Pokémon's gazes involuntarily turned toward it.
Coming out of the tent,
Serena first expressed surprise at the sticky beautiful dragon's evolution and appearance, then was drawn to Ash's action.
"Is Ash planning to give the Diamond Jewel to the sticky beautiful dragon to use?"
"Yes."
The sticky beautiful dragon somewhat incredulously received the Diamond Jewel shard from Ash's hand,
In an instant,
a surge of mighty energy accompanied by a thread of temporal power flowed into the sticky beautiful dragon's body.
In a moment,
the sticky beautiful dragon's body felt as if it were a red-hot branding iron, the process seeming to have lasted ages, yet actually only a second passed.
The oddity on the sticky beautiful dragon's body then disappeared.
It happened so fast that the sticky beautiful dragon didn't even feel what had occurred before it was already panting and collapsed on the ground.
At the same time, its strength also gained astonishing progress.
"As expected of a time-related item."
Ash praised it while his gaze quickly turned to the sticky beautiful dragon's status panel.
At a glance, Ash was stunned,
because in the Ability column, the sticky beautiful dragon's hard armor had completely become Dialga's form.
【Ability】: Pressure (Inherited)
Gaze moved downward,

【Base Stats】 Total 660 (Inherited), ……
