Pokémon: Chronicles of Freedom-Chapter 495 - 494: The Unknown Mega Stone

Mismagius briefly displayed the stone before quickly floating back to Cain.

At that moment, the Leader Kabutops also realized that Mismagius wasn't a weak opponent.

However, seeing the object it cherished most and was most proud of being stolen by Mismagius, the Leader Kabutops was consumed with rage.

Its eyes burned with fury.

With a powerful push from its legs, it began sprinting after Mismagius, heading straight for Cain.

It had deduced that Cain was the one commanding Mismagius, the Pokémon that had stolen its stone.

And though Mismagius was faster than him, Kabutops decided to change targets, directing its fury at Cain.

Seeing the Kabutops charging toward him, Cain's expression shifted slightly. To be safer, he called out Haunter, who had been waiting in the shadows.

"Haunter, when Kabutops attacks, use Protect first; then Slowking will follow with his Protect just in case," Cain communicated telepathically.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mismagius flew back quickly and hid in Cain's shadow.

There was no time to examine the Mega Stone Mismagius was holding.

Cain shouted, "Slowking, let's go!"

The moment he spoke, Slowking, who had been ready, unleashed its psychic power, enveloping them all.

Seeing the glow of psychic energy, Kabutops pushed its speed even further.

One of its scythes, surrounded by red energy, was launched directly at Cain.

Slash!

The more critical the situation, the clearer Cain's mind became.

He watched the approaching scythe. It didn't seem to move as fast as he'd imagined.

Just then, Haunter placed itself in front of Cain.

Although Haunter, being a Ghost-type, was immune to Normal-type moves like Slash, it didn't want to take any risks since Cain was right behind it. Acting as Cain's guardian, Haunter immediately used the move Protect.

The green energy shield blocked Kabutops' attack.

Kabutops, surprised that its attack had been neutralized, didn't lose its battle instinct and swung its other scythe toward Cain.

But its second attack also failed, as Slowking activated Protect just in time.

As the green energy shield faded, Slowking used the move Teleport.

Kabutops' third attack sliced through empty air.

The entire process took no more than two breaths, but it felt like an eternity.

"Roooar!"

Seeing the people who had stolen its stone vanish before its eyes, Kabutops let out a furious roar that echoed throughout the cave.

The other Kabutops behind the leader dropped to the ground, not daring to move.

As ancient Pokémon, they deeply respected the hierarchy within their group.

However, the Leader Kabutops didn't have time to worry about them. Though it valued the stone highly, it wasn't actually of any use to it. Losing it wasn't a significant problem.

What truly enraged it was how it had been taken: it had been robbed, and that wounded its pride the most.

Meanwhile, by the shore, Cain and the others reappeared thanks to Slowking's Teleport.

Mismagius observed their surroundings, and once she understood they were safe, she patted her chest, showing she was still frightened.

Cain also sighed in relief.

Finally, he could feel joy filling his heart.

He had obtained a Mega Stone!

Although he didn't yet know which Pokémon it belonged to, having it was much better than not having it.

Cain pulled out a Pokéblock, Mismagius' favorite treat, and as she smiled happily, he offered them to her one by one.

Discreetly, he took the Mega Stone from Mismagius' hands, filling hers with Pokéblocks instead.

Afterward, he sent Mismagius back into the shadows, happy and satisfied.

The Soothe Bell was definitely working well. Cain knew that with more time, he could fully control Mismagius.

Holding the cold Mega Stone, Cain felt like everything was a dream.

In his past life, he had put a lot of effort into searching for a Mega Stone, relying on vague memories from the anime. And he really had found one.

However, back then, Cain didn't have enough strength, and as a result, he had to sell the Mega Stone and use the money to obtain several high-quality Pokémon.

Thanks to those Pokémon, Cain had managed to reach quasi-Elite level.

Even so, in his past life, he never knew which Pokémon could use that stone, but he clearly remembered where he had found it.

Despite not having had the chance to return to that place, Cain knew it wasn't urgent. In his past life, it had taken him several years to find it, but in this life, less than four months had passed.

Moreover, he already had a Mega Stone. When Mega Evolution was discovered, with Team Rocket's influence and the power of the Stone family, trading it for a stone compatible with one of his Pokémon wouldn't be a problem.

Of course, the ideal scenario would be obtaining a stone that Cain could use directly. That way, once the requirements were met, he could Mega Evolve his Pokémon.

Perhaps he could even use the discovery of Mega Evolution to advance in the Pokémon League.

"System, record the information about this Mega Stone and start building a Mega Evolution database. Organize all related information," Cain mentally ordered.

The Mega Stone had not yet been discovered, so the system didn't have much information about it.

Even the system couldn't analyze which Pokémon it belonged to, so Cain decided to store it for now.

"Beep! Task created, insufficient data. It is recommended that the host complete the database as soon as possible," the system responded mechanically.

Cain sighed. Venturing into an unknown field, the system wasn't as useful.

In his past life, when he first activated the system, there was no information stored, and he had to gather it all himself.

It was thanks to his rebirth that the system retained data from his previous life. Otherwise, Cain would probably be barely better off than before and wasn't even sure he would have been the first to pass the trials.

What's more, he still wouldn't have discovered how to hatch Larvitar.

Not to mention obtaining an evolution elixir.

Item Name: Mega Stone

Compatible Pokémon: Unknown

Description: A stone that allows a Pokémon to undergo a special transformation. It is said to combine with a stone called the "Key Stone" to unlock its true power.

Effect: Temporarily allows certain Pokémon to Mega Evolve.

This was the description the system had generated, based on the limited information Cain had about Mega Evolutions.

Cain stored the Mega Stone in a corner of his storage space.

"No matter what, at least I already have a Mega Stone," Cain murmured to himself.
