While having another A-tier Pokémon might not seem too impressive now, Larry khat this was only Tyranitar's starting point. ‘Unlike Gengar and Gardevoir, Tyranitar had yet to reach its full potential.’ This wasn’t just an ordinary Pokémon—it had the makings of an S-tier beast.

  Larry ched his fists, excitement surging through him. "This might be my first S-tier Pokémon!" Tyranitar stood silently, Larry with an intimidating gaze. Despite its monstrous appeara didn’t show any hostility. Without aation, Larry activated the straints and vows he had prepared in advance for Tyranitar.

  A tdoeared in his mind. One minute. As the timer began, new information filled his vision. The moment the straints and vows took effect, Tyranitar's aura exploded, sending an overwhelming force rippling through the desert.

  The sandstorm that had calmed earlier now roared back to life with eveer iy, bing the entire region in a thick veil of swirling sand. Sleeping sandworms were thrown from their burrows, carried away by the fierce winds as the desert seemed to aowledge its new monarch. The sight was awe-inspiring—as if the very nd was celebrating the birth of its king. Larry’s eyes gleamed with satisfa. "This... this is the true Desert Monarch!"***Species: TyranitarType: Rock, DarkAbility: Sand StreamStrength Rank: S-Known Moves: Earthquake, Stone Edge, ch, Hyper Beam...Description: Tyranitar is a fearsome aorial Pokémon, known for its immense physical strength and unwavering resilience. With its imposing presend thick armor-like hide, it withstaating attacks while retaliating with earth-shattering force. ***

  Larry ched his fists, his excitement barely tained.‘S-Tier!’ Tyranitar had far exceeded his expectations, instantly reag S- strength, an incredible leap from his previous Pokémon. Reag the S-tier meant surpassing the A+ range by a signifit margin. Curious about the difference, Larry summoned Gardevoir o him and activated her full aura. In the darkness, Gardevoir’s aura glowed brightly like a bea, exuding refirength. However, when Tyranitar roared once more, his presence felt like the bzing sun, swallowing Gardevoir’s radiairely.

  The gap between A and S-tier was like night and day. Larry’s bck hair whipped in the wind, and a thrill surged through him. ‘S-tier power was on airely different level than he had imagined.’ In the world of Hunter x Hunter, where Nen users reached extraordinary levels, he specuted that the true powerhouses—figures like ero and Ging Freecss—would likely belong to this tier. Seeing it firsthand solidified a crucial uanding in Larry’s mind—strength levels weren't gradual; they were separated by insurmountable walls.

  Larry reflected orength hierarchy he had entered so far. At the bottom were the D-tier individuals—ordinary people who might possess firearm skills or even rudimentary Nen abilities but cked practical bat experience. People like the hapless Hozan fell into this category, struggling to apply their abilities effectively in real situations.

  Moving up to C-tier, these were Nen users who had developed their abilities but cked the bat capability to make a real impact, such as the Wind and Fire Duo from the Karym Ruins. They had potential but were far from formidable.

  B-tier, oher hand, sisted of experienen users with well-rounded abilities—capable, but raordinary. Fighters like Neguro and the infamous Hip-Hop Man fit this mold, possessing enough skill to hold their own but g the edge to rise above the pack.

  Then came the A-tier, airely different level. These were the elite, seasoned fighters who had undergone years orous training and tless battles, honing their abilities to near perfe. Veterans like Bisky and Morel from the Hunter Association were prime examples, standing as benchmarks of what hard work and talent could achieve. But above them all stood the S-tier—a whole different realm of power.

  Individuals at this level, like Chairmaero, were living legends. Their strength wasn’t just a personal asset; it was a deterrent on a global scale, capable of shifting the bance of power betweeire nations. A-tier Nen users were rare but not unreachable. They could be fought, even challenged. But S-tier... S-tier was something else entirely.

  These individuals were akin to living nuclear oies that anizations like the Hunter Association or the V5 nations would rather have as allies than as enemies. As Larry gazed at Tyranitar, taking in his t form and the raw power radiating from him, he couldn’t help but wonder—just how far could he go?

  The experience bar for Tyranitar’s growth was signifitly lohan his previous Pokémon, emphasizing that every small step within S-tier would take a moal effort. ‘Even among S-tier, there must be a peg order... and who knows if there’s more tier.’

  With Tyranitar now under his and, Larry's fidence soared to new heights. In terms of raw power, he had Tyranitar. In terms of support, healing, and escape, Gardevoir had him covered. For dealing with curses, Gengar was his perfeswer. He had achieved a banced, unstoppable trio, and with their birength, even high-level enemies wouldn’t be able to stop him easily.

  For the first time, Larry felt like he could roam the world freely, no longer bound by the o py it safe. He had finally broken through his previous limits.

  The desert wind brushed against his face, carrying with it the promise of new adventures. For a fleeting moment, he sidered staying here, enjoying his newfound strength and power. But deep down, Larry khat strength was just a means to an end. He wasn’t here to quer or dominate. His dream was simple—to travel, eat great food, and colleon.

  Smiling to himself, he reaffirmed his goal:‘To live a life of freedom and adventure, helping where he could but never bound by responsibility.’ “Alright, team,” Larry said, his voice full of excitement. “Let's see what’s .”***Looking down from the airship, Larry marveled at the breathtaking sight below. An isnd, encircled by a frozen o, stood in stark trast to the surrounding icy expanse. Most of the nd was bed in pure white snow, yet at its ter, a massive "circur crater" pulsed with a faint crimson glow. The area around the crater sisted of barren bck soil, and several cities had been built within its viity.

  This was Mount Kira’Zan, located in the northwest region of the a Vouna Kingdom. Renowned as the rgest and most unique volo in the world, Mount Kira’Zan defied expectations. Despite being an active volo, it remained encased ihroughout the year—a paradox that fasated stists and explorers alike. It reminded Larry of Id ba Earth, a nd of fire and ice, where gciers and voloes coexisted.

  Although the isnd’s average temperature remained below freezing, Mount Kira’Zan ’s internal magma tio smolder, creating a rare enviro where extremes of heat and cold coalesced. This unusual blend made it an ideal didate for his Pokémon.

  After firming that the Pokémon breeding process was influenced by the local enviro, Larry had begun seeking out extraordinary locations across the world. Mount Kira’Zan immediately caught his attention—it was not only a natural marvel but also home to Solvren Ruins, which had retly gained widespread attention.
