Chapter 523 - 522: Fossils of Ancient Pokémon
Finally, Lance took the three Team Magma members away, along with the investigators who had arrived later. As an advanced-level investigator for the League, Lance was treated with great respect.
As for the three objects on the altar, Cain had originally planned for Lance to take them, but he received an unexpected response.
"The League doesn't fail its trainers. These items are your trophies—they are yours to use as you see fit," Lance said before leaving without looking back.
Cain and Steven's abilities were already catching up to Lance's, and now he, too, had to carry out his next mission.
Lance left with ease.
Steven was stroking his newly evolved Metagross with great confidence. Although Lance was stronger than him at the moment, with his fully evolved Metagross, Steven was confident that he wouldn't be inferior to Lance in the future.
This was the natural confidence of a prodigy trainer.
As Cain looked at that Metagross, he couldn't help but feel a little envious. As one of the few pseudo-legendary Pokémon that can reach its final evolution at level 45, once it evolves, its power is astounding.
Each Metang has its own mind, with experience in mastering moves and battle tactics. However, upon evolution, those two minds fuse into one.
What happens then to the accumulated experience of each?
According to Cain's estimates and his system's calculations, it was likely that the experiences of both minds also merged, meaning Metagross would master those skills at an even greater level.
