The spike on the top of the head slowly grew into a long vertical horn, while the spike behind the neck shortened. The spikes on both sides of the head extended along the eyebrows, giving the Pokémon a more intimidating appearance. The knees of both legs bulged outward, with sharp spikes emerging from them, adding to its formidable presence. The tail lengthened significantly, and the four spikes at the end grew outward, enhancing its already imposing silhouette.
More holes appeared on the shell of the body, with five new ones distributed on both sides of the neck and below the throat. The four existing holes on the chest expanded in size, and within the two upper holes, small red bulges formed, pulsing with energy. The exposed shell on the abdomen and back shifted from a deep blue to a vibrant red, radiating violent energy that made the Pokémon appear even more powerful.
Mega Tyranitar!
Evolution successful!
Aoki felt no disappointment. After fully resolving the mental block in his heart, his spirit grew stronger, allowing him to better control his physical strength.
ROAR!!!!!
The symbol of Mega Evolution flashed briefly before fading.
Upon completing its Mega Evolution, Tyranitar unleashed a deafening roar toward the sky. The sand surrounding its body erupted outward before swiftly being drawn back under its command. A small but fierce sandstorm tornado formed in front of both Tyranitar and Aoki, swirling with precision.
Now that it had evolved into Tyranitar, its ability to manipulate energy had reached its full potential. With mastery over sandstorms, it could unleash devastating destruction at any moment.
After Mega Evolution, Mega Tyranitar's control over sand and energy reached unprecedented levels. The initial sandstorm tornado expanded rapidly as Tyranitar stepped into it. With each movement, the sandstorm grew more violent, yet Aoki understood that every grain of sand remained under Tyranitar's absolute command.
At this moment, Tyranitar was the undisputed King of Sandstorms.
After a period of unrestrained energy expenditure, Tyranitar finally reined in its power. The vast amounts of sand were meticulously shaped and condensed into a massive sculpture. The form gradually took shape, eventually solidifying into an imposing figure—an exact replica of Tyranitar itself.
Beside it stood a slightly smaller sculpture of Aoki, his expression calm and composed.
During its time as a Pupitar, Aoki had trained Tyranitar alongside Aggron, teaching them to cooperate in energy manipulation through daily sculpting exercises. This practice had honed their precision, making such feats effortless now.
Tyranitar approached Aoki, excitement gleaming in its eyes.
The Mega Evolution receded, and Tyranitar returned to its standard form.
Even in its normal state, Tyranitar was already a towering behemoth—standing at three meters tall and weighing over two hundred kilograms. Most Pokémon would tremble at the mere sight of it.
Now, it had surpassed Aggron as the largest and heaviest Pokémon on Aoki's team.
During its brief Mega Evolution, Aoki had scanned Tyranitar's data.
The power increase followed the same pattern as other Mega Evolutions—its strength could be quantified as a temporary level boost.
At its current level of 58, Mega Evolution propelled Tyranitar straight into Champion-level strength.
Though temporary, this experience allowed Tyranitar to grasp the immense power of a Champion-level Pokémon—a crucial step toward breaking through that barrier permanently.
Aoki's other Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution would also benefit from this exposure to Champion-level energy.
However, this was Tyranitar's first Mega Evolution, meaning there was still much to learn, experience, and master.
"How do you feel?" Aoki asked with a smile.
"TYRAAAH!"
Tyranitar responded enthusiastically, its voice booming. The sensation of Mega Evolution was unlike anything it had experienced before.
THUD—THUD—
Aoki patted the thick, gray armor plating on Tyranitar's chest encouragingly.
"You're going to be a powerhouse now. Make sure you live up to your teammates' expectations," Aoki said, pride swelling in his chest.
Watching Tyranitar grow stronger was like seeing his own child surpass him—a feeling of immense satisfaction.
Tyranitar nodded vigorously, scratching its head with its massive claws in an almost sheepish manner.
Few would believe that such a fearsome-looking Pokémon could display such a gentle side.
"Hmm?"
However, when Aoki's hand brushed against Tyranitar's stomach, he noticed something unusual.
The armor on its limbs and torso was smooth and unyielding, but the plating on its abdomen felt slightly rough—not entirely coarse, but textured in a way that suggested deliberate patterning.
Running his fingers along the surface, Aoki traced what seemed to be indentations forming a distinct shape.
Tyranitar tilted its head, watching Aoki curiously. Apart from a faint tickling sensation, it felt nothing out of the ordinary.
As Aoki continued tracing, his expression shifted.
The pattern resembled a symbol—a large curve in the center with symmetrical bends on either side.
Placing both hands flat against Tyranitar's stomach, Aoki confirmed his suspicion.
The markings formed a perfect "Ω"—a symbol he recognized instantly.
"Tyra?" Tyranitar rumbled questioningly.
Aoki remained silent for a moment before shaking his head.
Then, pointing to an empty patch of ground nearby, he commanded, "Tyranitar, use Precipice Blades!"
Though puzzled, Tyranitar obeyed without hesitation.
"TYRANII—!"
With a thunderous roar, ground-type energy surged through its body, concentrating toward the targeted area.
Aoki, however, kept his focus fixed on Tyranitar's stomach.
The moment Precipice Blades activated, the previously dull gray plating on its abdomen lit up—glowing lines of red and yellow energy tracing the "Ω" symbol in vivid detail.
Simultaneously—
BOOM!!!
A deafening crack split the air as a colossal stone pillar erupted from the earth, sharpened to a deadly point. The sheer size and force of the attack dwarfed its previous iterations—now bearing an unmistakable resemblance to the legendary Groudon's signature move.
According to the system's analysis, Tyranitar's Precipice Blades had reached 30% of its full potential—a threefold increase from its Pupitar stage.
This was no longer an imitation—it was the true power of Precipice Blades.
Yet, even after the attack subsided, the "Ω" symbol on Tyranitar's stomach remained illuminated.
"System, analyze Tyranitar's current condition," Aoki ordered.
