When I fought Jiang Chen before, although I never won, at least I didn't lose this badly.
As expected, the gap between me and Jiang Chen is getting wider and wider.
Ling Wanqiu's goal used to be to defeat her father and Jiang Chen.
Now, defeating Jiang Chen seems to have become a luxury. Defeating her father, that goal can be strived for. Although there's no opportunity now, there will be in the future.
"Your Nidoqueen is already so strong."
Just now, Ling Wanqiu's Dragonite was defeated by Jiang Chen's Nidoqueen.
"Strength is also cultivated through hard work. Your Sceptile seems a bit lazy."
Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Ling Wanqiu was a little helpless. Sceptile was indeed lazy, but what could she do?
"Do you have any way to help me?"
"Well, your own Pokémon, I'm not really suited to interfere. However, every Pokémon has self-respect. If you make it realize its own weakness, it might start working hard."
"What if it still continues to be lazy?"
Hearing this, Jiang Chen spread his hands: "Then what can you do? You can only choose to give up."
If a Pokémon wholeheartedly chooses to give up, what else can you do but abandon it?
"It's getting late, I should head back."
"Don't rush, stay for dinner before you go."
Looking at the sky, Ling Wanqiu sighed, wondering why time passed so quickly. When she was alone, she always felt time moved slowly.
But when she was with Jiang Chen, she always felt time wasn't enough, it passed too quickly.
"No, don't forget there's still a guest at home. It's already quite impolite to be out all day with a guest at home."
Jiang Chen refused. With Gu Xuanyue as a guest at home, it wouldn't be good for Jiang Chen to return too late.
"Alright then. If I have time, I'll come over to train Pokémon with you. Don't you dare not welcome me."
"Only a fool wouldn't welcome you. You're always welcome."
With a beauty by his side, training Pokémon also felt more motivated. Ling Wanqiu wasn't Gu Xuanyue; if it were Gu Xuanyue, that ice queen, Jiang Chen would feel awkward.
After chatting with Ling Wanqiu for a few more minutes, Jiang Chen bid farewell to Chen Qin, then called over the playful one, took her and Gardevoir, and Teleported back.
"Mom, you're back. Aren't you busy today?"
As soon as he appeared in the living room, he saw his mother chatting with Gu Xuanyue. He wondered how his mother managed to chat with Gu Xuanyue.
"What needed to be done is done. I came back because I found Mega Stones."
Xie Yulan took out three Mega Stones, which were a Charizardite X, a Beedrillite, and a Blazikenite.
"Mom, you're too amazing."
He only told his mother yesterday, and she already found three Mega Stones today.
"Only this Mega Stone was just found. These two were found before, but I didn't know what they did, so I've been researching them."
"That's still impressive."
Jiang Chen picked up the Beedrillite.
If he had the Beedrillite during his battle with Ling Zhan today, he really could have gone head-to-head with Ling Zhan's Lucario, and perhaps even won.
"This Beedrillite is useful to me. I don't need the other two."
"Don't you still have Charizard?"
"I already have a Charizardite X. This one can be given to my dad."
Long ago, Jiang Chen had already obtained a Charizardite X through a quest reward.
Looking at the Mega Stone, the silent Gu Xuanyue was a little curious. What effect did this Mega Stone have? She remembered finding a similar stone herself.
Although Gu Xuanyue was curious about the use of Mega Stones, with her personality, she wouldn't actively ask.
Xie Yulan noticed the curiosity in Gu Xuanyue's eyes and asked, "Shuangyue, do you want to know what this thing is for?"
Seeing that his mother seemed to want to tell Gu Xuanyue about the Mega Stone, Jiang Chen didn't stop her.
Anyway, even if Gu Xuanyue knew, it didn't matter. The matter of Mega Stones wasn't particularly important, as long as it wasn't widely exposed right now.
If it were completely exposed, finding more Mega Stones would be difficult.
Looking at the Mega Stone, Gu Xuanyue shook her head.
"This thing can make Pokémon Mega Evolve."
"Mega Evolve?"
Gu Xuanyue's cold face froze; she had never heard of Mega Evolution.
"Jiang Chen knows more about this. Let him tell you," Xie Yulan said with a smile, looking at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was smart and immediately understood Xie Yulan's intention. Was she trying to spark a conversation between him and Gu Xuanyue?
Did she, like his father, want to set him up with Gu Xuanyue?
But honestly, Jiang Chen really didn't have any feelings for Gu Xuanyue.
Seeing Gu Xuanyue look at him, Jiang Chen said, "Mega Evolution is an evolution that surpasses a Pokémon's current evolutionary limit, a higher level of evolution."
"Pokémon that undergo Mega Evolution temporarily release hidden power, but this power cannot be maintained permanently; it can only be used for a short time."
"The conditions for Mega Evolution are a Mega Stone and a Key Stone. In addition, you must have a deep bond with that Pokémon to complete the Mega Evolution."
"Seeing is believing, I'll show you."
Coming to the courtyard, Jiang Chen released Charizard.
Having a Charizardite X and the Key Stone, plus a deep enough bond with Charizard, Mega Evolving Charizard was naturally possible.
"Mega Evolve, Mega Charizard X."
Instantly, Charizard's appearance changed drastically. Although its limbs were similar to before, its body color turned grayish-black, its lower jaw to the tip of its tail became sky blue, and blue claw-like protrusions grew on the front and back of each shoulder.
The inside of its wings turned dark blue, and even its flames became blue.
However, what was special was that within the blue flames, there seemed to be a hint of golden brilliance, which should be the change brought by Ho-Oh's Feather.
Looking at the dramatically transformed Charizard, not only Gu Xuanyue, but even Xie Yulan, who witnessed it firsthand, had a look of astonishment on her face.
Although she had found Mega Stones, Xie Yulan had not yet found a Key Stone. Currently, only Jiang Chen had a Key Stone.
The Key Stone was also crucial for Mega Evolution; without it, evolution was impossible.
"Now Charizard is no longer Fire/Flying type, but Fire/Dragon type."
"If a Charizardite Y is used, it will still be Fire/Flying type after Mega Evolution."
Jiang Chen introduced them, while also using his Probe Eye to check Charizard's status.
[Mega Charizard X]
Gender: Male
Strength: Elite Four Stage 1
Talent Potential: Champion
Attributes: Fire, Dragon
Ability: Tough Claws
Moves: Heat Wave, Dragon Claw, Air Slash, Flamethrower, Fire Spin, Inferno, Hyper Beam, Flare Blitz, Dragon Rush
Its ability changed to Tough Claws, and its strength temporarily increased from Quasi-Elite Four Ninth Stage to Elite Four Stage 1. This was a significant improvement.
One could even say Charizard had made a leapfrog advancement.
"Before, Charizard was Quasi-Elite Four Ninth Stage. Now it's Elite Four Stage 1. This is the boost from Mega Evolution."
Jiang Chen introduced Charizard's current strength.
"What a pity that such power cannot be maintained indefinitely."
Xie Yulan shook her head regretfully.
If it could be maintained indefinitely, Mega Evolution wouldn't have to be treated as a trump card.
"You two chat. I still need to arrange for people to search for Mega Stones and Key Stones."
Xie Yulan said, giving Jiang Chen a meaningful look and gesturing towards Gu Xuanyue, which made Jiang Chen a bit helpless.
Seriously, his mom really wanted him to hook up with more beauties, she was definitely his biological mother.
"I won't reveal anything about Mega Evolution."
After Xie Yulan left, Gu Xuanyue said to Jiang Chen.
"Actually, it's fine even if you tell others, as long as you don't tell too many people. It's best not to expose it publicly for now."
This thing couldn't be kept completely secret from everyone, and there was no point in doing so. If it were completely hidden, it would mean he couldn't use it either, and then what would be the meaning of Mega Evolution?
Gu Xuanyue didn't speak, but she had already made up her mind not to tell anyone else before Jiang Chen's family announced it.
"Can my Pokémon Mega Evolve?"
"Well, none of the Pokémon you battled me with before can Mega Evolve."
Jiang Chen spread his hands towards Gu Xuanyue.
Lapras could Dynamax, but Dynamax had more requirements. It needed a Dynamax Band, which wasn't the most important part, but it also required a special location.
Without a special energy spot, even with a Dynamax Band, it probably couldn't Dynamax.
Even Gu Xuanyue, upon hearing that her Pokémon couldn't Mega Evolve, showed a hint of regret on her face.
"Are there any Ice-type Pokémon that can Mega Evolve?"
"Yes, Glalie and Abomasnow can both Mega Evolve."
There were relatively few Ice-type Pokémon that could Mega Evolve; Ice-type Pokémon species weren't particularly abundant to begin with.
Gu Xuanyue nodded, considering whether to capture Glalie and Abomasnow.
"Thank you for telling me all this."
"No thanks needed, we're friends after all."
Jiang Chen waved his hand. Hearing Gu Xuanyue thank him always gave Jiang Chen a strange feeling he couldn't quite place.
Afterward, Jiang Chen told Ling Wanqiu and Xiao Luoxue about Mega Evolution, asking them not to spread the word.
He believed they were both capable of keeping secrets.
A week passed in a flash. Gu Xuanyue had left yesterday. Although Gu Xuanyue had a cold personality, she had stayed there for so many days that Jiang Chen felt a little unaccustomed to her sudden departure.
Gu Xuanyue told him that she would also participate in this year's Hidden Dragon Cup Trainer Tournament.
They might encounter each other in the competition.
