He knows Pokémon better than me.

Soon, the two emerged from the crowded area and arrived outside the station.

Jinlun Town is a small town where railway vehicles are stored and intersected for maintenance. Half of the town is covered by various intricate railway tracks.

The area is complex, with trains arriving from the east or south from time to time, including both old-fashioned steam trains and modern high-speed trains.

Aside from being the terminus of the Battle Metro and being filled with Battle Metro enthusiasts, Golden Wheel Town is otherwise unremarkable.

The two found a secluded, open space at the edge of the area, with a small earthen slope and rock wall in front of them, about five or six meters high. They decided to give their newly acquired mega stone a try.

Ash took off his Keystone Bracelet, revealing a dazzling array of flashy gadgets on his wrist.

"Here it is."

He handed it to Douzi, who took it and put it on his left hand.

"Keystone bracelet, how wonderful!"

Douzi sighed, it seemed she also needed to find some time to get a bracelet of her own.

However, today's focus is on King Yanwu, and Douzi immediately perked up—

"Henrir is coming!"

"Fire Roar!!"

She gave a reminder, and Yanwu King in front of her understood, raising his arms and roaring, raising his momentum to its best state.

Although she didn't have her own Keystone Bracelet, she had seen many other people use Mega Evolution.

Douzi imitated Xiaozhi, raising his arm high and touching the key stone in the middle.

They even chanted a line in a very serious manner:
"From this moment forward, respond to my bond! Mega Evolution, Emboar!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the keystone bracelet emitted a dazzling and unique light.

At the same time, the small Mega Stone held in the hands of Emboar also lit up with a dazzling light, echoing the Keystone Bracelet and forming a brilliant evolutionary light that completely enveloped it.

"coming!"

Xiao Zhi smiled and watched intently, holding his breath.

Although some Pokémon may go into a frenzied, uncontrollable state when they first use Mega Evolution.

However, it's usually the Pokémon that are sensitive and prone to overthinking that are more likely to go berserk.

There's no need to worry about straightforward, rugged men like Yanwu Wang.

As for the bond and trust between Douzi and its companion, there's even less to worry about.

boom!
As the seven-colored energy cocoon burst open, Emboar revealed a brand new form, with the seven-colored arc symbol exclusive to Mega Evolution lighting up above its head, proving that the evolution was successful!

"Is this the Mega Flame Warrior King?"

Both Xiaozhi and Douzi showed expressions of surprise—

Its body became taller, the lines around its belly changed slightly, and the flames burning around its neck became more intense, extending downwards to the center of its belly.

Of course, the most striking feature is that Mega Emboar now has a black, forked topknot that stands up like a warrior's.

He was also holding a long staff weapon made entirely of flames, which resembled a spear with two blades at the front!

Mega Flame Warrior King!!

He has completely transformed into a majestic ancient warrior!

Compared to the improvements in all aspects after Mega Evolution, Emboar was more interested in the flaming spear in his hand at this moment.

"Yan Ao?"

It held it in its hand with a puzzled look, as if a memory etched into its bones was beginning to awaken, and it began to thrust forward, sweep, and slash.
His movements became increasingly skillful, and each swing and upward thrust generated gusts of hot air. Furthermore, since the spear was not a physical weapon, when Yanwu King hurled it like a javelin, flames would quickly condense in his palm, forming another spear in a short time.

"Wow, Henril is so handsome!!"

Douzi excitedly hugged Yanwu King's thick waist, and Xiaozhi also came up and tentatively touched the spear in the latter's hand.

The spear appears to be made entirely of blazing flames, but like the fiery mane of the Fiery Horse and the explosive flames on the back of the Firestorm Beast, it doesn't feel particularly hot to friendly units.

"Looks like he's gotten a lot stronger all of a sudden."

Xiao Zhi then remembered his second senior brother who was far away in his hometown, and couldn't help but sigh:

"If Emboar could have Mega Evolved just now, then we should have been able to pass the 'Ultimate Train' level perfectly!"

The action of throwing flaming javelins, I don't know if it's a new move.

Sizzle!

When the thrown spear struck a distant mound, it directly triggered a burst of flames and exploded, creating a scorched crater, demonstrating considerable power.

The bombing noise made Douzi's eyes sparkle!

"What incredible power!"

The voices of praise didn't come from Touko, but from the hillside ahead. Ash and Touko instinctively looked up.

But on the slope more than three meters ahead, a burly man stood with his hands on his hips, his orange hair standing up like flames and tied in a thick braid.

A middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and a square face, grinning broadly, laughed heartily.

He had a strong build, wore a light yellow wide-sleeved robe, white capri pants for martial arts training, and black sandals, with a chain of Poké Balls casually draped around his neck.

Former United Volkswagen Champion, Aldridge!

The two were both taken aback. They'd actually encountered a wild regional champion here?!
Adek leaped nimbly down the hillside several meters high, landing gracefully in front of the two men.

This is still a super popular person.

"Hey~ it's been a long time, boys and girls! You all look great!"

Adek raised his hand, gave a hearty laugh, and greeted them.

He glanced again at the Mega Flame King holding a flaming spear beside him. He had heard of this new kind of Mega Evolution, but this was the first time he had seen it in person, and he couldn't help but marvel.

"Mr. Adek?"

What are you doing here?!

Ash and Beacon couldn't help but ask at the same time, "Besides the various trains, there doesn't seem to be anything special about Golden Wheel Town."

Could it be that after retiring, he's started taking on the challenge of playing against the subway?
"Uh, Mr. Aldak is probably a little saddened by the difficulty of the 'Ultimate Metro'."

Of course, this was just Xiaozhi's thought, and he didn't say it out loud.

Well~

Upon hearing this, Adek scratched his head, suddenly unsure where to begin his reply.

Over the past year, he and Xia Ka have taken turns training Alice intensively, achieving good results, and he was able to entrust his championship title to the younger generation.

Without the constraints of his position, his life suddenly became leisurely and relaxed.

In addition, Team Plasma, a scourge of the Unova region, was also wiped out by Ash and N, so he didn't need to do anything at all.

So during this time, he has been traveling around the Unova region, looking for one or two more potential trainers, and occasionally giving them pointers.

In the Unova region, one Iris isn't enough; we need more new trainers to emerge! (End of Chapter)
