Roy casually picked up the Leaden Ball, showing no sign of the effort he had when his steel hands tried to hold Leaden Ball; it was as if it were just an ordinary Poké Ball in his hands.
If Steel hadn't just picked up the Leaden Ball, he might have actually believed it.
Stepping into Steel's study and workshop, Roy found many tools he had never seen before. On the workbench were more than a dozen Apricorn he had never seen before, and they were different from the Apricorn in the yard.
Roy placed the Leaden Ball directly on the workbench. Fortunately, the workbench was made of high-quality steel; a regular wooden workbench would probably have bent under the weight.
As Roy walked into the workshop, Steel's gaze fell on the GS Ball that Roy handed to him.
The Golden GS Ball in front of me looks no different from other Poké Balls except for its color, but pressing the button in the middle does nothing.
He was certain that the Poké Ball was neither naturally formed nor Poké Ball -produced; it was likely handmade.
Roy came out of the workshop, saw Steel observing the GS Ball, and reminded him:
"Mr. Steel, this Poké Ball in your hand cannot be teleported or opened."
Steel:????
Upon learning that the Golden Poké Ball could not be teleported or opened, Steel's expression turned strange.
How could there possibly be such Poké Ball?
Could it be an unfinished Berry?
Judging from its appearance, it shouldn't be broken. Considering that he couldn't press the button in the middle of the GS Ball earlier, even he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
Unconvinced, Steel made Roy play with Chie while he took the GS Ball and went into his study/studio.
With nothing to do, Roy sat in the courtyard, watching Chie playing with Little Absol and Mimikyu.
Chie seemed to have forgotten about Team Rocket earlier, and threw the Berry in her hand at Little Absol.
Little Absol Bite a bite of the Berry Chie threw to him, tearing at Apricorn as a sour taste surged up, and he immediately tossed the Apricorn aside.
The steel Bronzong and the Escavalier stood guard in the courtyard.
The Bronzong floated in the air, Escavalier used his lance to stab wildly at a wooden dummy in the courtyard, as if he were training himself.
It's clear that Chie really likes Pokémon, but neither of these two Steel Pokémon are suitable for children.
That's why I was so happy to see Mimikyu and Little Absol.
When Chie, tired from playing, sat down next to Roy, her two little braids had come loose, and her face was covered in sweat.
"Roy! Your two Pokémon are so cute!"
"What Pokémon Chie want to catch in the future?"
"I want to catch a Slowpoke because... because Slowpokes are cute."
Furthermore, the village had previously suffered from drought, and it was Slowpoke that used Rain Dance to bring rain to the village.
In Chie's heart, the legend of Slowpoke in the village was true, so she also believed that there was Slowpoke God.
"But Grandpa said I'm still too young, and he'll take me to Slowpoke Well in a year to ask their chief, Slowking, for a Slowpoke."
The Bronzong floated in front of the two of them, its two bronze arms waving back and forth, pointing at Chie and then at themselves.
He wanted to ask why Chie didn't want to capture a Bronzor. Didn't Chie like the Bronzong, which evolved from the Bronzor?
"Huh? I want to subdue a Bronzong too?"
Chie was caught in a dilemma. Slowpoke soft and cuddly enough to be cuddled and petted, but what about Bronzong...?
Chie imagined herself being encased inside the Bronzong, and quickly Knob, saying that one Bronzong at home was enough.
Roy, seeing that Bronzong and Escavalier were doing nothing, figured he might as well help Steel train these two Pokémon.
From the previous battles, Roy could tell that these two Pokémon quite mediocre in actual combat.
It's likely that Steel is usually too busy making Poké Balls to train these two Pokémon, forcing Escavalier to train them by wielding its spear and poking the dummy.
"Bronzong, Escavalier, come here for a moment."
"Bell!"
Upon hearing Roy's voice, the Bronzong floated to Roy's side. Looking at the two patterns on the Bronzong, he had always thought that these were the eyes of the Bronzong.
But actually, the two red spheres beneath the square pattern are his real eyes.
This Bronzong made of steel has the Levitate Ability and is immune to Ground type moves. This means it is only weak to Ghost type, Dark, and Fire types, but it is resistant to Normal, Flying, Rock, and nine other types.
Furthermore, Bronzong is immune to Poison type, boasts a combined defense of 116, and has excellent resistances, making it a great Trick Room setter for Trick Room teams.
