Ding!
Since three of your Pokémon have reached Pseudo-king rank, the power of Elemental Overgrowth would increase
---
Axel gasped when he saw the notification. It was a significant reward. He couldn't predict how quickly his Pokémon would rank up to Elemental rank, but if he could achieve that with all of them within a few months, it would be a tremendous advantage.
His attention then turned to Piloswine. Its growth had come to a halt, and Axel realized he was the cause of it. He examined Piloswine's stats:

There was no denying that Piloswine had become incredibly powerful. Most of its moves were at level 39. Despite only ranking up two months ago, it had trained its stats to an impressive level.
However, the move 'Ancient Power' remained at level 39, and Axel believed that if it reached level 40, Piloswine would evolve into Mamoswine. But reaching that milestone proved to be a challenge.
Axel had been encouraging Piloswine for the past two months, assuring it that it might evolve once 'Ancient Power' reached level 40. However, Piloswine's confidence had hit an all-time low. While its comrades easily reached level 40 for their moves, Piloswine struggled to make progress.
'Ancient Power' allowed the user to attack with a mysterious prehistoric power, with a chance of increasing all of its stats by a small margin. Axel wanted Piloswine to draw out more of this power until it covered its entire body.
Currently, the power was concentrated mainly in its tusks, and Piloswine attempted to spread it throughout its body. However, it couldn't reach its legs.
Today, Axel was helping Piloswine train the move once again. "Piloswine, try to visualize it. Imagine that you are drawing this power from your tusks and spreading it all over your body. First, focus on drawing as much power as you can. Once you've done that, try to spread it while maintaining the power's quality."
As Piloswine generated the mysterious power, a brown glow slowly formed on its tusks, gradually spreading to its head and body. However, the power hadn't reached its legs yet. Piloswine concentrated intensely, and Axel could see the determination on its face. Despite its efforts, the power continued to elude its legs.
And then...
---
Ding!
Piloswine's Calm Mind has leveled up to 30. It has reached a good stage.
---
With the level up of 'Calm Mind', Piloswine managed to cover its legs as well. This was a new development, and Axel immediately instructed it to hold on to the mysterious power as much as possible.
As the brown glow enveloped its entire body, it began expanding, forming a circle of brown light around Piloswine.
---
Ding!
Ancient Power has leveled up to 40. It has reached the Epic stage. Ding! Piloswine is evolving. Do you want to extend the evolution?
---
"No."
---
Ding!
Piloswine is evolving...
---
The color of the glow began to change, blending blue and brown hues. It intertwined and combined, gradually fading as the evolution process took place.
"ROARRRRR...."
With a powerful roar, the newly evolved Pokémon made its presence known. Axel could sense the wave of ice and snow emanating from the roar.
The new Pokémon was a large, quadrupedal creature resembling a woolly mammoth crossed with a boar. Its thick brown fur was built to withstand harsh cold climates and protect it from snow and ice. Its tusks were made of pure, solid ice, and its face sported a blue mask-like pattern with a white rim, reminiscent of ski goggles. The tan and shaggy fur on its muzzle and pig-like nose added to its unique appearance. Its feet were black with three thick toes, and it had a small tail.
It was Mamoswine.
