"Steelix!!!" Qing Wu asked Norbit a question.
"I never thought you would know about Steelix too. I only learned of this Pokémon's existence after searching through the books collected by my ancestors for generations."
"It just so happened that Devon Corporation released a product called Metal Coat. After making countless attempts to buy it, I finally purchased enough Metal Coats to cover my Steelix's entire body in a layer of metallic film, allowing my Onix to evolve into Steelix."
"I really want to thank Researcher Dusk in person for developing Metal Coat," Norbit said to Qing Wu.
Qing Wu was somewhat surprised. He had never expected his alter ego to have earned someone else's admiration. That was rare!!!
However, Qing Wu knew that coating an Onix in metallic film was not the best way for it to evolve into Steelix. The most powerful Steelix were Onix that had evolved after enduring years of pressure in the mantle layer.
After being tempered by subterranean fire, Steelix had shed the impurities in its body, becoming considerably smaller than it had been as an Onix. However, because the impurities in this kind of Steelix had been purified, Fire-type moves did not deal much damage to it.
As everyone knew, Steel-type Pokémon were vulnerable to Fire-type attacks because they were wrapped in thick Steel-type armor and could not dissipate heat in time. Over time, the excessively high temperature inside their bodies would cause them to combust.
If the steel armor covering their bodies had excellent thermal conductivity and could easily dissipate heat when exposed to air, the temperature on the surface of a Steel-type Pokémon's body would not become too high, and Fire-type moves would not affect it
