Deep within the hollow lay a round pond. At its center, a rock with a radius of about five meters jutted above the water.
It served as a foothold.
At that moment, the Swampert leader stood quietly at the edge of the rock, watching Marshtomp with a solemn expression. At the very center, Marshtomp crouched on all fours, letting out deep growls as his muscles pulsed!
Yong hurried to the pond's edge. He stayed silent so as not to interfere, but a hint of nervousness still showed on his face.
Lairon stood beside him, making low, muffled sounds.
Finally,
under everyone's watchful eyes, the familiar white glow appeared around Marshtomp once again!
An even more dazzling light enveloped the entire rock, spreading the warm aura of life in every direction.
Within the light,
Marshtomp's body gradually grew larger, and the radiance surged along with it!
Yong watched with heartfelt satisfaction. As the first Pokémon he had caught in the wild, Marshtomp held a special place in his heart.
After traveling together all this time, the little fellow he had once known was finally ready to reap the rewards!
You can do it!
Marshtomp!
Become an overlord of water and earth!
The light flared once more!
The evolution finally reached its end!
An enormous figure emerged from the light!
Thick, powerful limbs and a sturdy body displayed unparalleled strength!
His simple, guileless expression had vanished. His orange eyes now held an inexplicable majesty and dominance!
