Chapter 3 Me, the Aluminum Steel Dragon?
[System, I've selected the Dragon attribute. Start simulation!]
[You have selected a Dragon-type Pokémon; a random Pokémon is currently being simulated.]
【…】
The random result is: Aluminum-Steel Dragon.
Aluminum-steel dragon! I ask you, who else can compare?!
[This simulated world does not exist in reality; please do not feel guilty.]
[Starting the simulation for you...]
Li Shuwen suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes. When he opened them again, he found himself in an unfamiliar, dry cave. The cave entrance was blocked by rocks, with only a few rays of sunlight seeping through the cracks.
What's going on? Have I time-traveled again?
"roar!"
My voice?
Looking down, I saw that the hands were gone, leaving only a pair of silvery-white claws.
Wait, the simulated aluminum steel dragon looks like it has silver-white claws.
Li Shuwen's body stiffened as he felt this completely new body.
Oh no, I've turned into an aluminum steel dragon!
Shouldn't a Pokémon simulator be a text-based simulator?
How did you really turn me into a Pokémon?
"System, what's going on?"
[Pokémon Simulator, the most realistic Pokémon simulation system, frees hosts from the frustration of making the wrong choices that lead to the premature death of their simulated Pokémon.]
The system will determine the host's simulation performance based on various factors, including the host's simulated lifespan of the aluminum steel dragon, level increases, skill training, and territory expansion.
[The Aluminum Steel Dragon attribute panel has been activated for the host. Please check it now.]
Li Shuwen immediately opened the attribute panel.
【Aluminum-Steel Dragon】
[Level: lv38]
[Type: Steel, Dragon]
【Characteristics: Lightweight metal (Development level 0.3)】
[Ability Value: 605]
[Stamina: 77]
Attack: 103
[Defense: 123]
[Special Attack: 130]
[Special Defense: 64]
【Speed: 108】
The numerical strength of this ability is equivalent to the race stats in the game.
This Duraludon is already quite promising even before it has evolved!
Next, let's look at the skills.
[Available Skills: Metal Claw 65, Dragon Claw 96, Cannon Beam 103, Hyper Beam 155, Dragon Pulse 108, Slam 98, Rock Blockade 66, Sharpening Claws 1.5, Iron Wall 1.4.]
"System, what does the number after this skill mean?"
The numbers representing attack skills indicate skill power, while the numbers representing transformation skills indicate the skill's transformation multiplier.
Aside from being a bit low in level, its stats and skills are excellent.
Li Shuwen now has two choices: one is to push aside the rocks sealing the cave entrance and explore the outside world.
Secondly, explore the underground world by following the tunnels deep within the mountain cave.
Duraludon is a Steel and Dragon-type Pokémon whose entire body is made of aluminum. Duraludon's food is rocks, or rather, the metallic components in rocks.
Exploring the underground world can lead to the discovery of ores containing large amounts of metal, which can ensure the survival time of the Aluminum Steel Dragon, level up, and even learn skills.
Exploring outside should correspond to the territory expansion aspect.
Li Shuwen decided to survive first, level up, and only venture out to explore when he had the strength to protect himself.
Li Shuwen entered the cave, and after navigating a winding path, entered an underground space that gradually widened.
From this winding road, and the rocks that block the cave.
Li Shuwen sensed something unusual.
The fact that Duraludon was so cautious clearly indicates that powerful Pokémon that could threaten its life live near its territory.
Using the sharper claw of his right hand, he cut a piece of rock from the rock face, put it in his mouth, chewed it, and tasted the metallic components in the rock.
It contains very little metal; it would probably take hundreds of kilograms of such rocks to fill the belly of the aluminum-steel dragon.
Li Shuwen continued forward and finally found a gray-black rock wall.
With a swing of its right claw, it knocked down a protruding rock, put it in its mouth, and ate it.
That's right, it's iron ore.
Li Shuwen immediately tried it out, using the metal claw in his left hand and the dragon claw in his right. Unexpectedly, he used both skills very smoothly at the same time.
He started randomly chiseling away at the rock face in front of him.
Li Shuwen only stopped swinging his claws after the entire gray-black rock wall had been hollowed out and turned completely yellowish-brown.
I plan to take a good rest and enjoy the fruits of my labor.
Looking down, I realized, "Where's my ore?"
All I could see were a few small creatures, with bodies of liquid metal, golden nuts on their heads, and their faces full of longing as they looked at Li Shuwen.
Meltan!
This underground space actually contains Meltan!
Melutan's gaze sent chills down Li Shuwen's spine.
He immediately swung his claws, sending all the Mertans in front of him flying.
He immediately turned and ran away.
Li Shuwen felt a pain in his tail. When he turned around, he found a Merlot hanging on his tail, nibbling at it.
They ate with unwavering determination.
Li Shuwen immediately lashed the rock wall with its tail, sending Meilutan flying.
His intuition was correct; the Meltans' yearning gaze wasn't a plea for him to mine more iron ore, but rather a desire for the Aluminosi Dragons to become their food.
As cubs of legendary Pokémon, Meltans are not particularly strong.
Aluminum Steel Dragon can easily knock them away with its metal claws.
However, they have strong teeth and can easily bite off pieces of the aluminum steel dragon's body to eat.
Furthermore, the smug look in the eyes of the Mertans made Li Shuwen feel uneasy.
Sure enough, a pair of fists as big as sandbags suddenly flew out from the depths of the cave and slammed heavily into the back of the aluminum steel dragon, causing rocks to fall down with a rumbling sound.
A huge, gray-black nut connects to a pair of mercury arms, which stretch to their limit and then retract, allowing a giant cyclops to once again rotate his mercury body.
Punch the nut into the aluminum-steel dragon.
Li Shuwen fled frantically; he was still too foolish and naive.
He should have realized there was something wrong with such a large underground space.
Is his first simulation going to end with him becoming food for the Melmetans?
Li Shuwen's mind raced as he racked his brains for a way to escape.
He used a rock blockade, creating a large pile of rocks behind him in an attempt to block the Melmetans' pursuit.
Steel Fist Double Strike!
Merumitan swung his fist and easily shattered the rock.
He followed Li Shuwen at a leisurely pace.
As he ran, Li Shuwen suddenly saw a dent left by a snake-shaped Pokémon on the ground.
Steelix!
That's right, it's Steelix!
Saved!
Shifting the blame eastward!
Steel Serpent is much larger than Steel Dragon.
Compared to the aluminum steel dragon, the larger steel snake is definitely more attractive.
Following the path left by the giant steel snake, the aluminum steel dragon fled frantically.
See it? A circular opening. That's where the giant steel snake crawled out.
The aluminum steel dragon's body wasn't too big; it easily squeezed into the hole by slightly swinging its claws to widen the opening.
Because Melmedan was too tall, it could only keep swinging its fists to smash the rocks, widening the hole left by Steelix.
The sleeping giant steel snake immediately opened its eyes alertly upon hearing the noise.
Upon seeing the menacing aluminum-steel dragon, it opened its mouth and spewed out a breath of dragon fire.
However, the aluminum-steel dragon ran straight past him and quickly left his lair through another opening.
Steelix was puzzled when a Steel Punch Double Strike hit its face.
The giant steel snake immediately let out a roar that was three parts pain, three parts fear, and four parts anger.
It swung its tail and unleashed its Iron Tail, engaging in a fierce battle with the Melmedan.
Hearing the sounds of fierce fighting not far away, Aluminum Steel Dragon paused in his tracks.
He saw a piece of iron ore and, taking advantage of the fact that Melmedan was currently fighting Steelix, quickly dug it up and ate it.
This time, Aluminum Steel Dragon learned its lesson and only took one piece at a time.
Halfway through the meal, the sounds of battle ceased, and only the faint, dense cries of Merumeru could be heard coming from the cave entrance.
Li Shuwen was so frightened that he dared not move.
