The Mega Key Stone on Xia You's wrist resonated with Steelix, releasing the same deep radiance. The two responded to each other from afar, even their frequencies exactly the same.
There was no denying that the light of Crystal Steelix's Mega Evolution shone far more brilliantly than that of an ordinary Steelix.
In part, this came from its unique structure. Its body, almost as transparent as glass, produced a more dazzling radiance when it glowed, and that light traveled farther than it did from other Pokémon.
Another reason was that it had just swallowed the Evolution Stone into its body.
Unlike Pokémon that wore their Evolution Stones on the outside, it glowed from within. Refracted through the many layers of its body, the light shone out from every part of it, like a giant, multicolored light bulb!
Cynthia and Caitlin involuntarily held their breath.
Under their gazes, Crystal Steelix's body began to change within the light.
Its already enormous body grew further, becoming longer and larger than before. The crystals on its surface also looked denser and sturdier, every single one refracting rainbow halos in the sunlight.
Not only that, but two protrusions appeared on its jaws, like defensive steel plates. At each major joint of its body, two crystals also grew out from within. Seen in pairs, they seemed to hold dangerous energy, like blossoming gemstone flowers. At the same time, countless crystal fragments with the same structure as its body slowly revolved around it.
What an imposing presence!
Unlike Xia You's Red Gyarados, with its savage aura that made it look as though it had no reason and knew only how to destroy everything, the newly evolved Mega Crystal Steelix was even more intimidating and harder, like the sturdiest diamond tunnel-boring machine in the world.
And that was
