Chapter 452
With the Salamence leader's permission secured, Alex moved freely through Area 25.
Ditto—currently maintaining his Golem form—took the lead. His heavy stone body blended naturally with the terrain as he advanced through the mineral-rich corridors. Every few steps he stopped, crouched, and examined rocks roughly the size of a Key Stone or Mega Stone.
He was thorough.
Anything that showed even a faint crystalline irregularity was dug out, cleaned, and inspected. Most were worthless—ordinary mineral deposits shaped by erosion.
But persistence paid off.
After several hours of searching and excavation, Ditto finally uncovered one Mega Stone and two additional Key Stones hidden within a dense vein of compressed rock.
Alex stored them carefully.
That brought his total to eight Mega Stones—one of them already compatible with Scizor—and seven Key Stones.
A Luxurious collection.
