1. Ash's Story (Part 10: Galar)

Chapter 32

As night falls, we are taken aback when Linoone begins to glow, prompting Alice to question, "Wait, Linoone is the final form, isn't it? Why is it glowing like that?"

With surprise evident in my voice, I exclaim, "Could it be...?"

Once the luminous transformation concludes, Linoone has evolved into a towering Pokémon. Elena quickly identifies the newly evolved creature, stating, "That's an Obstagoon. It has a unique move called Obstruct, capable of blocking attacks while also reducing the Defense stat if hit directly."

Obstagoon: The Blocking Pokemon: Dark and Normal Type. Evolved from Linoone at LV:35 at night. Its voice is staggering in volume. Obstagoon has a tendency to take on a threatening posture and shout—this move is known as Obstruct.

Encountering and battling Shiinotic in the Glimwood Tangle, our Koffing undergoes a remarkable evolution, transforming into a unique Weezing.

"Wow, look at it! It has two chimneys atop its body," I exclaim, astonished by the distinct appearance of the evolved Weezing. "And it seems to emit clean air too."

Weezing (Galarian Form): The Poison Gas Pokemon: Poison and Fairy Type. Evolved from Koffing at LV:35. This Pokémon consumes particles that contaminate the air. Instead of leaving droppings, it expels clean air.

Alice expresses her thoughts on the peculiar combination of Poison and Fairy types, remarking, "Poison and Fairy is a weird combination... But you have to admit it's a good Pokémon."

Flora agrees, acknowledging the unique fusion of types, and concurs with a simple, "You're right." Despite the unconventional mix, they both recognize the effectiveness and strength of the Pokémon in question.

It's an exciting time for our Starter Pokémon as they near their evolutionary stages. Drizzile appears particularly eager, eagerly anticipating its transformation into an Inteleon. Thwackey and Raboot, while not as outwardly expressive, also seem poised for their evolution.

During our training session with the Fairy-type Pokémon, all three Starters harness their determination and bond with the Fairy-types. Eventually, the culmination of their hard work and synergy results in a momentous evolution for each one of them.

Drizzile, full of enthusiasm, undergoes its evolution, finally becoming an Inteleon, while Thwackey and Raboot, steadfast and composed, also evolve into their respective final forms. The successful evolution marks a significant milestone in their growth and journey together.

Rillaboom: The Drummer Pokemon: Grass Type. Evolved from Thwackey at LV:35. By drumming, it taps into the power of its special tree stump. The roots of the stump follow its direction in battle.

Cinderace: The Striker Pokemon: Fire Type. Evolved from Raboot at LV:35. It juggles a pebble with its feet, turning it into a burning soccer ball. Its shots strike opponents hard and leave them scorched.

Inteleon: The Secret Agent Pokemon: Water Type. Evolved from Drizzile at LV:35. It has many hidden capabilities, such as fingertips that can shoot water and a membrane on its back that it can use to glide through the air.

Gloria raises an interesting observation, remarking, "A Drummer, a Striker, and a Secret Agent... Why do their categories become jobs?"

Reflecting on their evolved forms, I reply, "Who knows, but they certainly do resemble those specific professions."

As our journey progresses, Silicobra reaches its evolution stage, transforming into a formidable Sandaconda. With its evolution, Sandaconda becomes a powerful addition to our team, showcasing newfound strength and capabilities in our adventures ahead.
