The meaning of the word “cool” is quite brafter all, people's perceptions of aesthetics can vary greatly, making it difficult to define a universal standard.
At this moment, however, Ouyang Xin truly didn't know what words to use to describe the Pokémon displayed in the Pokédex.
“Boss, what is this?”
Chen Yun's eyes sparkled with curiosity as he looked at the Pokémon in the Pokédex and asked Gu Xin.
“Let me see. Oh~ this is Onix.”
Gu Xin glanced at it and immediately recognized the Pokémon.
“This is a Rock- and Ground-type Pokémon. It's considered a large-scale Pokémon,” Gu Xin explained after a moment of thought, glancing oddly at Chen Yun.
Another Rock-type. Moreover, with Onix's size...
Hmm, there was no doubt about it—Onix was definitely a big eater. The real question was whether Chen Yun would choose to keep this Onix.
“Another Rock-type…” Chen Yun's eyelid twitched.
Seriously, did he have some fated connection with Rock-types?
“A large-scale Pokémon? Boss, how big is Onix?” Ouyang Xin asked curiously.
Chen Yun was also intrigued. So far, all the Pokémon drawn by the group, including Bai Qianqian's, were relatively small in size. None had exceeded 0.5 meters since they were all in their initial forms.
“Onix's size varies depending on individual nutrition and development or even innate uniqueness,” Gu Xin explained. “But according to the data, the standard height of an Onix is 9 meters, and its standard weight exceeds 200 kilograms.”
Hiss~
Hearing Gu Xin's explanation, Ouyang Xin covered her mouth, gasping.
Nine meters tall? Over 200 kilograms?
“Now that's a big one,” Chen Yun remarked, astonished. Truly, Onix lived up to its name.
“And that's just the standard size. When Onix evolves, it grows even larger and heavier. Furthermore, Onix's final evolution can Mega Evolve in the future,” Gu Xin added with a smile.
“At that stage, it will become a true kind of ‘monster.'”
Gu Xin chuckled. Onix's evolution, Steelix, is a Ground- and Steel-type Pokémon, extremely heavy in tonnage.
Additionally, Steelix can undergo Mega Evolution, with a standard height of 10.5 meters post-evolution!
And that's merely the standard size. As fans of the anime know, Pokémon sizes can vary significantly. With proper training, it's normal for a Pokémon's size to exceed the standard.
Steelix could truly be called an ‘iron monster!'
What's more, Steelix's strength isn't low—its base stats exceed 500, with its physical defense ranking among the best.
“Boss, can I take a look at Onix?”
Chen Yun licked his lips, his heart racing again.
“Of course. However, the shop's environment isn't suitable for Onix. Please wait a moment,” Gu Xin replied, nodding. After glancing around, he noticed the store wasn't spacious enough to accommodate Onix's size.
Gu Xin headed toward the backyard, the only open space suitable for this.
“Please, both of you. Onix is ready,” Gu Xin said a minute later, returning to the shop and gesturing toward the backyard.
Chen Yun and Ouyang Xin followed him. They stepped into the battle arena from earlier, where now stood an enormous figure.
“Amazing!” Ouyang Xin exclaimed, looking up at the towering Onix.
Chen Yun's eyes lit up with fervor and excitement.
Its entire body seemed composed of large gray stones linked together, forming a towering structure. A stone horn jutted from its head, and its black eyes gleamed.
Huge! Absolutely enormous!
Living in Magic City, both Chen Yun and Ouyang Xin were accustomed to towering skyscrapers, but this was an entirely different concept.
Standing before them, Onix was a living, breathing creature!
The sheer size of such a massive organism inspired genuine awe. Those who had seen elephants up close at zoos might understand this feeling, especially those with a fear of large objects—they might even feel their legs go weak!
And Onix was far bigger than an elephant!
Nine meters might just be a number on paper, but in reality, at three meters per floor, nine meters was equivalent to a three-story building!
The faint sound of stone scraping echoed as Onix slightly lowered its head, quietly observing Chen Yun and Ouyang Xin. Its eyes seemed to hold a hint of curiosity.
“Don't worry. Despite its massive size, Onix is a gentle Pokémon by nature. As long as you don't provoke or anger it, it's very easy to get along with,” Gu Xin reassured them with a smile, noticing their tense postures.
“Well, that's a relief, but honestly, this is…” Chen Yun chuckled awkwardly, admitting that he had been genuinely nervous at first sight.
But now that he had calmed down…
“Boss! I'll take it!” Chen Yun declared, his eyes gleaming with enthusiasm. This big guy was exactly what he wanted!
His original intention for choosing a Flying-type Pokémon was now completely forgotten.
What could compare to such a cool Onix? Besides, this was his last chance for a lucky draw today…
“Of course. Onix is priced at 250,000,” Gu Xin replied with a smile. While Onix's rarity was only average, its strength was decent, comparable to the second-stage evolution of a Charmander.
“Swipe my card,” Chen Yun said confidently, pulling out his bank card and lifting the Pokédex.
Beep~ Onix, Rock- and Ground-type, Rock Snake Pokémon
Ability: Sturdy
Moves: Rock Throw, Tackle, Harden, Bind, Knock Off
Burrows through the ground with incredible force, creating tunnels later used as nests by Diglett.
Reading the Pokédex entry, Chen Yun was overjoyed.
It had five moves!
Gu Xin wasn't surprised. The Pokémon provided in the system's prize pool were all beginner-level, and the moves depended on the Pokémon itself. This was one of Onix's advantages. According to the games, a level 5 Onix indeed had this many moves, excluding inherited ones.
“From now on, I'm your Trainer, Onix. Let's grow stronger together!” Chen Yun said warmly, greeting Onix.
Sensing Chen Yun's goodwill, Onix let out a low growl and lowered its head in front of him.
Was it… asking for a head pat?
“It's really gentle~” Chen Yun murmured, gently stroking Onix's rough head. Feeling the texture of stone beneath his hand, he couldn't help but marvel.
Despite its massive size, Onix's temperament was indeed peaceful.
