Primal energy pulsed in the air, carrying an invisible yet powerful presence.

Chris looked up and saw the Dragon King Garchomp looming above him.

Before Chris could say a word, the Poké Ball on his belt opened on its own, and his Gabite sprang out.

"Graarr!" Gabite growled, directing a challenge at its mother.

"Garchomp!" Garchomp looked at Gabite in surprise.

They hadn't been apart long, but Garchomp could clearly sense how much her child had grown!

The Dragon King Garchomp turned to Chris again, nodding in approval. This young trainer had indeed done an impressive job, nurturing her offspring to such a strong level in such a short time.

"Gar!" Suddenly, Garchomp let out a powerful roar, summoning her tribe.

From the crowd of Garchomp, an elderly one stepped forward, carefully holding a basketball-sized Dragon Fang in its sharp claws. The old Garchomp walked straight up to Chris and extended the Dragon Fang toward him.

"Quick, take it! This is a treasure-level Dragon Fang!" Olivia whispered to Chris in excited disbelief.

"A treasure-level Dragon Fang?" Chris murmured, taken aback. "They're just… giving this to me?"

He looked up at the Dragon King Garchomp, who nodded solemnly in his direction.

With a deep breath, Chris accepted the Dragon Fang.

It was incredibly heavy!

Chris had previously purchased smaller Dragon Fangs for Gabite to boost its dragon-type moves, but those were less than a fifth of the size and perhaps only a tenth of the weight of this one.

He couldn't even begin to imagine what kind of dragon could have such a massive tooth.

After presenting the Dragon Fang, the Garchomp Dragon King turned and led her tribe away.

Many of the surrounding dragons cast envious glances at the Dragon Fang in Chris's hands, but under the Dragon King's command, they all departed one by one.

"You're unbelievably lucky! The Dragon King Garchomp actually gifted you a treasure-level Dragon Fang!" Olivia said with excitement as she joined Chris. She couldn't help but feel a pang of envy—she hadn't yet acquired a treasure-level item herself.

"My Goodra is also a descendant of the Goodra Dragon King. Why didn't I get anything?" Olivia sighed, glancing at her Goodra.

Goodra: "Gooo…dra~~"

Chris hadn't expected such a generous gesture from the Dragon King Garchomp. The last time he encountered her, she hadn't given him anything, even when he'd caught her child. Yet now, she had offered him this priceless Dragon Fang out of nowhere.

What a surprise!

He certainly wouldn't mind more surprises like this in the future!

Now, he had three powerful dragon Pokémon at his side.

On their way back, Chris and Olivia returned to school just in time for lunch, so they decided to eat together.

Afterwards, Chris hurried back to his dorm, eager to inspect the attributes of his new treasure.

First, he focused on the qualities of the Treasure-level Dragon Fang.

Crackling Dragon Fang: Increases the power of dragon-type moves by 40%, reduces the chance of taking physical damage by 30%, and enhances weather effects.

Weather effects?

Chris felt a spark of realization.

There was only one dragon Pokémon capable of controlling the weather!

The ruler of the skies—Rayquaza!

Of course, this was just a theory.

But if this Dragon Fang belonged to Rayquaza, it would certainly be a legendary item.

Chris handed the massive treasure, the Dragon Fang, to Gabite.

Since it was a gift from Gabite's mother, Chris felt it wouldn't be right to give it to Axew or Tyrunt. Plus, as Chris's main dragon Pokémon, Gabite would benefit most from absorbing the Dragon Fang.

The Dragon Fang's added power to physical attacks came with a defense-breaking effect, making it ideal for all three of Chris's Pokémon, given their strength in physical attacks. However, when it came to the boost from weather effects, Gabite's ability, Rough Skin, wasn't perfectly suited, as it would only fully benefit from Sandstorm boosts after it Mega Evolves and gains Sand Force. Still, this wasn't a major issue.

Haxorus and Tyrantrum could also benefit, with Tyrantrum's Rock typing making it naturally resistant to Sandstorm. But in terms of maximizing Sandstorm power, Gabite was the best choice.

Shifting his focus, Chris checked the panel for his shiny Axew:

---

**[Axew (Dragon, Shiny)]** 

**Level**: 17 

**Ability**: Exceptional (When this Pokémon uses a move, it can partially nullify the abilities of its target, the target's allies, and its own allies.) 

**Individual Values**: Stamina (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (11), Defense (30), Special Defense (25), Speed (31) 

**Moves**: Scratch, Leer, Bite, False Swipe, Assurance, Slash, Dragon Claw 

**Held Item**: None 

---

With its HP, Attack, and Speed at 31 IVs and Defense close behind, Chris considered Axew nearly 4V. The low Special Attack wasn't an issue, as Haxorus's role would be as a physical powerhouse, relying on Attack stats alone.

The strong stats and shiny appearance made Chris pleased with Axew's potential; he typically looked for at least two high IVs in Attack and Speed. He recalled the frustration of catching Axews with high Special Attack but low physical Attack—especially in a Dragon-type attacker.

With Gabite, Tyrunt, and Axew, Chris now had three solid dragons. He was just one Pokémon short of forming a complete team of six dragons.

Although Chris had many Pokémon, he knew his collection was still modest compared to Gym Leaders and Elite Trainers, who often trained and bred multiple Pokémon of the same species. Gym Leaders tailored Pokémon combinations and battle strategies to counter specific types. A Gym Leader who stuck to only one set team would soon be defeated, much like when Chris had taken on the Mauville Gym; the all-electric team was nearly helpless against a ground-type team.

With this in mind, Chris aimed to take advantage of his position and capture more high-quality Pokémon. His goal was to form a primary team of his strongest Pokémon, while others would serve as backups to adapt to various opponents and create versatile teams for any challenge that came his way.
