"Oh, what a pity for these two Pokémon. Hand them over to Miss Joy and see if they can be saved," Miss Junsha said with some regret, removing Arbok (Arbok or Seviper, depends on the species) from her waist and recalling her Paras.
"Isn't that very simple?" Just as Qingwu was about to blurt this out, he suddenly thought of something. Currently, there was no bio-electrometallic regeneration technology developed. Some severely injured Steel-type Pokémon couldn't self-recover.
For Steel-type Pokémon, the most important thing was the metallic armor on their bodies. Like Paras, after its two spears broke, it couldn't even feed itself.
Many Steel-type Pokémon that were crippled during battles were easily abandoned by trainers.
Bio-electrometallic regeneration technology was also specifically developed to treat crippled Steel-type Pokémon.
Through specially formulated metal electrolyte, after ionization, metal ions would cover the damaged parts of Steel-type Pokémon.
As long as the Steel-type Pokémon was soaked in the electrolyte for one day and one night, the damaged parts of the Steel-type Pokémon would be completely repaired.
However, the difficulty of this technology was in formulating the electrolyte. It had to be precisely mixed according to the metallic composition ratio of each Pokémon!
However, this key technology was extremely simple for Devon Corporation, which possessed various mineral analysis instruments.
And the Faba family were users of Steel-type Pokémon. They must have many crippled Steel-type Pokémon under their command.
Now, the evolution methods for Steelix and Scizor hadn't even been researched yet. Qingwu could completely use these as a letter of recommendation.
Presumably, the Faba family would be very happy to accept his submission.
Qingwu was truly fortunate that he had infiltrated a large database. Some mature technologies from his previous life were all recorded in the system.
Petalburg City Pokémon Center.
"These two children are severely injured, and now they're unconscious," Miss Joy said with a worried face, her jade-white hand resting on her smooth chin, pondering a treatment plan.
"It's very troublesome, and that poacher also said some cruel words when abandoning the Pokémon. These two Pokémon should have entered a state of mental self-sealing," Miss Junsha reminded.
"I can only try. I'm not sure if I can succeed." The phenomenon of Steel-type Pokémon losing limbs also frequently occurred every year, which also gave Miss Joy quite a headache.
Miss Joy pushed Sandshrew and Paras into the operating room. A red light came on.
"Qingwu-kun, this isn't your fault. Blame those damned poachers." Miss Junsha looked at Qingwu with a distressed expression, thinking Qingwu was very sad, and hastily comforted him.
At this moment, Qingwu was thinking about whether he could get these two Paras, and then go to Rustboro City to demonstrate to Faba. Faba would surely be very interested.
This technology was invented by Devon Corporation and promoted by the Alliance.
Using Devon Corporation's future technology to exchange for benefits from the current Devon Corporation—this idea was perfect.
He wondered if this technology could be exchanged for a Beldum from Faba.
Beldum was a pseudo-legendary Pokémon on par with Salamence in the Lavender Town area. If one were to ask where Beldum was most abundant in the Lavender Town area, it would definitely be the Faba family.
Although there were Beldum in Meteor Falls, the Faba family could train a differently colored Beldum. It was impossible for there to be only one.
Qingwu wanted to know if he could exchange a differently colored Beldum with the Faba family for training as his main Pokémon.
Pseudo-legendary Pokémon were all Pokémon with base stats of 600 or more. If Qingwu wanted to become strong, training a pseudo-legendary was the best option.
However, pseudo-legendary Pokémon also had a drawback: they had long training periods and consumed many resources.
If he disregarded everything else and only trained a pseudo-legendary, Qingwu would probably go bankrupt.
Qingwu walked out of the Pokémon Center. After taking a leisurely walk, he arrived at the dock in Petalburg Woods and saw many fishermen with fishing rods.
A Pelipper flew down from the sky, flapping its wings, landing on the hand of an old man dressed like a captain.
The old man lovingly stroked Pelipper's head and took out a small fish from a bucket.
Pelipper pecked at the small fish in the captain's hand, one bite at a time.
"This is old man Hagi," Qingwu recalled. Old man Hagi had no children and lived alone with Pelipper.
In the game, you could ask old man Hagi to take you to Verdanturf Town. At the end of the Stone Cave there, you could meet Steven Stone.
But Qingwu was quickly attracted by the silver-haired youth beside old man Hagi. Looking at him, how much he resembled a young Steven Stone.
That's right. Steven Stone was only 15 years old now, and he still had three years until he became Champion.
Steven Stone didn't know what he said to old man Hagi. Old man Hagi shook his head.
This was the best opportunity to get close to Steven Stone. It was now or never.
Qingwu took out a piece of dark iron ore from his bracelet, pretending to lose his grip, letting it fall near Steven Stone...
Steven Stone had just asked old man Hagi if he could be sent to Verdanturf Town, but old man Hagi directly refused.
Steven Stone's Aggron had recently suffered a severe injury, and a huge crack appeared on its back, like armor.
Steven Stone thought of the Stone Cave, wondering if he could find rare minerals to solve Aggron's problem.
Just as Steven Stone was feeling a little helpless, he suddenly kicked a black piece of ore with his foot. Steven Stone involuntarily picked up this piece of ore from the ground and looked at it under the sunlight.
This piece of ore was about the size of a palm. Holding it, he felt a cold aura. Don't look at it being only palm-sized, its weight was extremely heavy.
"Sorry, sorry, I just slipped. I accidentally dropped the ore at your feet. You weren't hurt, were you?" Steven Stone looked up and saw a worried Qingwu.
Qingwu was "throwing a brick to attract jade" here, also known as "throwing ore to attract ore."
"No problem, no problem. My name is Steven Stone. What about you?" Steven Stone handed the ore to Qingwu.
Qingwu took it casually and then said to Steven Stone, "My name is Qingwu. I'm a miner and prospector. This is the Dark Iron Stone I found." Qingwu directly revealed Lairon.
"This is my excavation partner. As you can see, I'm very obsessed with mineral excavation." Lairon also cooperated by using Rock Tomb.
A fossil buried in the sand was pushed up by a rock.
"My name is Steven Stone, and I'm a veteran mineral enthusiast." Steven Stone's eyes lit up. He had found a kindred spirit.
Qingwu and Steven Stone chatted for two hours. The more Steven Stone spoke, the more enthusiastic he became. Qingwu was also able to keep up with Steven Stone's pace thanks to the system's massive data.
Steven Stone truly loved minerals from the bottom of his heart. He could effortlessly name over a hundred types of minerals, their characteristics, and excavation methods.
"Sorry, two Pokémon are still undergoing surgery at the Pokémon Center. I need to go back and watch over them," Qingwu pretended to glance at his watch and hurriedly said to Steven Stone.
"Surgery? Are your Pokémon injured?" Steven Stone saw Qingwu's calm face. He didn't seem worried about his Pokémon at all. At this, he became wary. Was this person worth associating with?
"They're the poacher's Pokémon." Qingwu recounted the incident from beginning to end to Steven Stone. Finally, Qingwu added one more sentence.
"I'm a researcher. I recently developed a key technology that can treat crippled Steel-type Pokémon with severe injuries."
