"If it's Alola, I probably won't go there for a short time."
Damian thought about it. The next schedule was already set. He naturally wouldn't go to Alola anytime soon.
Although going for a day or two to relax wouldn't matter. After all, Lusamine was indeed very attractive.
Tsk—thinking about it made him a bit tempted.
"Oh..." Lillie heard this and was clearly a bit disappointed. It showed on her face.
"Because I have things to be busy with. If I have time, I'll tell you before I go to Alola, Lillie," Damian said with a smile.
"If you are free, Lillie, you can also come find me to play. Just let Nebby bring you here."
"Eh? Is that okay?"
Lillie looked a bit surprised, but she was still a bit nervous. After all, she hadn't left Alola yet.
Going all the way to another region to find Damian... wasn't that too bold?
"Of course it's okay. With Nebby there, it can definitely protect you, right Nebby?"
"Ma-~!"
Nebby replied very confidently. What a joke, it was the 'Beast That Calls the Moon.' Protecting Lillie wasn't an easy task?
Lillie was really moved!
"Then... I'll go find you after some time, Damian, okay? Lately, it's not very convenient on my side."
Lillie thought about it carefully. She felt it was completely doable.
She just felt like she was meeting her good friend's boyfriend in secret. This feeling of doing something wrong made Lillie very embarrassed.
And she had to find a good reason. One thing Lillie was worried about was that her mother didn't seem to want her to talk to Damian too much.
"Of course it's fine. However, I am also leaving Kanto in a few days. Also, Gladion is here with me. You can tell President Lusamine that you're coming to find your brother."
Damian was guiding her. He knew Lusamine too well. He knew what she was thinking just by her movements.
Lusamine herself had completely accepted her relationship with Damian. And since Gladion was now working with Damian, Lusamine wouldn't have other ideas.
But this didn't mean Lusamine was willing to let Lillie have contact with Damian. Or rather, Lusamine had always been guarding against this.
"Is Big Brother Gladion also with you, Damian? Okay! I understand!"
Lillie was very happy. This was perfect. Didn't she have a reason now?
"Yes. I'll wait for your arrival, Lillie. It's been a while since we met. I think you must have become even more beautiful."
"No... that's not it. Damian, really..."
The pure young lady Lillie had suffered Damian's direct flirting many times, but she was still very shy.
After a few more simple words, Lillie hung up the phone reluctantly.
On Damian's side, right after hanging up, he felt the atmosphere was a bit strange.
"That girl just now must be very cute, right?" Erika's faint voice came over.
Damian raised his eyebrows.
"She's a girl I met in Alola. She is indeed very cute, just like you, Gym Leader Erika," Damian replied with a smile.
Erika's small face turned slightly red. Her heart beat fast and wouldn't stop.
Caitlin glanced at Erika sideways. Look at this fake innocent act. Didn't he just praise you once? Why are you blushing so much?
The following time passed quickly. Under Ariana's full effort, many high-end precision laboratory instruments were secretly sent to Lavender Town.
A laboratory was soon formed.
"How is it? Grandpa Fuji, if there are any other instrument requirements, feel free to ask."
After the lab was ready, Damian brought old man Fuji over.
"This lab is inside Lavender Town. We have already bought a building. You can enter from there in the future."
"No problem. Where is Mewtwo?"
Old man Fuji looked around and asked Damian.
Damian opened the Poke Ball. Armored Mewtwo appeared beside Damian. It quietly looked at the old man Fuji in front of it.
"Mewtwo..."
Looking at Armored Mewtwo, old man Fuji's eyes were very complicated. Actually, to him, Mewtwo born from his hands was like his child.
Armored Mewtwo's eyes also had some ripples. Although it was inside the Poke Ball, it could sense the situation outside.
It also knew that the old man in front of it was the human who truly created it.
"This is a restriction armor, right? Take off the armor. Then I need to carefully check Mewtwo's body data."
Then old man Fuji spoke. Before Shadow Mewtwo fully awakened, he had already left New Island.
To a scientist, direct data was a very important thing.
Shadow Mewtwo was very cooperative. About an hour later.
"Mewtwo's physical fitness is extremely excellent. Its psychic power quality has also surpassed all existing psychic Pokemon. Even this lady's Tapu Lele cannot compare to Mewtwo."
Old man Fuji handed a report to Damian.
"Damian, you said Mewtwo still has hidden power. I want to know where you got this conclusion from?" Old man Fuji asked Damian.
Under his inspection, Mewtwo's data far exceeded normal Pokemon. It was so high that he couldn't even imagine it.
He couldn't imagine how strong Mewtwo could be if it went a step further.
"Grandpa Fuji, have you heard of Mega Evolution?" Damian glanced at the report and asked old man Fuji.
"You also know about Mega Evolution?" Old man Fuji was very surprised. He had researched Mega Evolution before, but he didn't succeed in the end.
"You actually want Mewtwo to Mega Evolve?!"
Old man Fuji finally understood. But how could that be done?
Caitlin and Erika were both confused.
"That's right. Mega Evolution. It surpasses the limits of Pokemon evolution so far. It is a level of evolution that is even higher."
Damian took out a beautiful stone like a gem from his pocket.
"Pokemon that undergo Mega Evolution will temporarily release their hidden power. They will show abilities that cannot be owned through general evolution."
Damian talked easily.
"But the truth of Mega Evolution has never been proven. Let alone Mewtwo's Mega Evolution."
Old man Fuji's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled. He used to be a very excellent researcher. Even Professor Oak greatly admired old man Fuji's achievements in the field of Pokemon research.
And old man Fuji had also researched Mega Evolution, but he didn't succeed.
"No, Grandpa Fuji. Mega Evolution truly exists. As long as there is a Key Stone and a Mega Stone."
Damian stepped on a shadow. Shiny Gengar yawned and slowly floated out of the shadow.
Is he going to demonstrate?
Old man Fuji stared at Shiny Gengar. A bit of excitement appeared in his eyes. His scholar's heart was activated again.
"Gengar." Damian held the Key Stone between two fingers.
The Key Stone suddenly shone with brilliant light. At the same time, Shiny Gengar bared its teeth. Its long tongue stuck out. A beautiful Mega Stone on its tongue also shone.
A rainbow-colored light of evolution flashed instantly.
When the rainbow color faded, a brand new Pokemon appeared in front of everyone.
It was a Pokemon that was white all over. Its eyes were strange and dark black. Its mouth still had a wicked smile. Its arms hung on the ground.
Shiny Mega Gengar!
"This..." Erika's eyes widened.
"Unbelievable." Caitlin was also shocked.
"So Mega Evolution really exists."
The most shocked person was naturally old man Fuji. He looked at the Mega Evolved Shiny Gengar blankly.
"Mega Evolution can not only greatly improve a Pokemon's strength, but also has a chance to change a Pokemon's ability."
"Just like my Gengar. After Mega Evolving, its ability becomes Shadow Tag."
"Je je~"
Shiny Mega Gengar laughed creepily. Three shadows instantly shot out from under it and pressed onto the shadows of Fuji and the other two.
Immediately, an unspeakable and strange feeling of restraint covered Caitlin and the other two. They couldn't even move their feet. Erika was sweating.
They were trapped by Shadow Tag!
"Gengar!"
Damian glanced at Shiny Mega Gengar.
Shiny Gengar curled its lips. Wasn't it just a joke with them? Why so fierce?
"However, Mega Evolution cannot be maintained for a long time. So this means Mega Evolution can only be used at the moment of deciding the match."
Damian added another sentence. The light on Shiny Mega Gengar faded. It exited Mega Evolution and dived into Damian's shadow to sleep.
"Can any Pokemon Mega Evolve?" Erika couldn't help asking. She was hearing about the so-called Mega Evolution for the first time.
But she could imagine how this Mega Evolution would become popular all over the world!
"No, not all Pokemon can. Based on what I've discovered... I'll tell you after we go back."
Damian shook his head.
"You mean Mewtwo can Mega Evolve?" Old man Fuji began to frown again.
"That's right. I think it can. That's why I asked you to come out again, Grandpa Fuji. It's impossible for Mewtwo's Mega Stone to exist in the outside world, but we can make it ourselves."
"...I understand."
Old man Fuji was thoughtful. This was a very challenging job. But because of that, it was interesting.
"I need you to leave me some Mega Stones and Key Stones for my research. Also, you need to find a few trainers who can Mega Evolve so I can collect data and details."
Old man Fuji spoke his demands without being polite.
"You also need to let Mewtwo come back regularly to cooperate with me."
"No problem. I will have Ariana fully cooperate with you." Damian nodded.
"Also... I can't guarantee it will definitely succeed." Old man Fuji gave a reminder in advance at the end.
How could he guarantee the success rate of making Shadow Mewtwo's Mega Stone?
He was afraid that if it failed, Damian would take his anger out on the Pokemon House.
Old man Fuji felt that Team Rocket was completely capable of doing such a thing.
"Of course. But I still hope Grandpa Fuji can go all out. I will send a few assistants to help you."
"Don't worry. Since I promised you, I will work hard. I'm not like your Team Rocket," old man Fuji said coldly.
Damian shrugged. He knew this old man had a very bad impression of Team Rocket now. But it didn't matter, as long as he was willing to work hard.

In Alola.
On the beach, Lillie looked at the sunset on the horizon. Is that the direction of Kanto?
"I really don't know how to speak to Mother." Lillie was a bit conflicted.
But she must gather her courage!
"Every time I talk to Damian, I feel so relaxed. Damian... is really a very good person. Don't you think so, Nebby?"
Lillie pursed her lips and gave a peaceful smile, asking Lunala.
Lunala tilted its head slightly and thought for a moment.
"Does Lillie like Damian very much? Are you two going to have a baby in the future?" A magnetic, slightly husky female telepathic voice sounded in Lillie's ear.
"Ugh... nothing like that. Nebby, who did you learn this from..." Lillie's face turned red instantly. She played with the corner of her clothes shyly.
"And... Damian is so excellent. There must be many girls who like him."
As she spoke, Lillie's tone became a bit gloomy. A boy like Damian, who was gentle, considerate, sunny, and humorous—and already a Champion-level trainer at such a young age.
He was really too excellent.
"It's okay. Damian must also like Lillie very much. Since you like him, you should fight for him. I will always support you, Lillie."
Lunala encouraged Lillie like a caring older sister.
"If there are competitors, I will help you defeat them! Lillie, I am very strong now."
Lunala was very confident. Fully awakened, it was no longer the weakling it was before!
It was now the legendary Lunala!
"Eh?" Lillie was stunned.
"And I have a partner too! As long as I speak, it will definitely help. Lillie, feel free to boldly take Damian for yourself!"
Lunala rubbed its head against Lillie's. In other words, even if it alone wasn't enough to support Lillie's great cause of 'taking' Damian, it still had the big lion Solgaleo!
Before going to the Ultra Space, it had already found Solgaleo in the Ultra Megalopolis world!
What a joke. With itself and Solgaleo here, Lillie didn't need to fear those bad women who wanted to steal Damian!
"Pfft~ Nebby, this kind of thing isn't decided by force." Lillie looked at Lunala, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
As expected, even for a Legendary Pokemon, thoughts on this kind of matter were different from humans.
This was falling in love, not fighting a war. Lunala could fight, yes, but what was the use of just being able to fight?
And... Damian was Selene's boyfriend. She couldn't just go and fight Selene, right?
Lillie sighed in her heart.
Selene clearly treated her as a sister, but she secretly liked her boyfriend.
She was really despicable.
I'm sorry, Selene...
