Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 517 So, even the Demon Fire Red Fox can Mega Evolve?
The fire fox that returned from Carlos brought with it a super stone that belonged exclusively to the fiery red fox. It is said that this was a reward it finally obtained after going through many hardships there.

Link was overjoyed to finally be reunited with all the elves, and after resting, he began to study the stone that shimmered with a candlelight-like glow.

He has long believed that every Pokémon that evolves to its final stage must have the ability to Mega Evolve, but so far there has been no discovery of any Mega Stones for them.

Even for a Pokémon like Pikachu, which has the special form of Gigantamax, its evolved form Raichu will definitely be able to evolve even further.

Ultimately, the essence of Mega Evolution is simply breaking free from the shackles of genes through strong willpower and fundamental abilities.

Even a Pokémon like Mewtwo can Mega Evolve, so why can't other Pokémon do the same?
"However, having a Mega Stone does make it easier to unleash that further evolution. Fire Fox, did you see the Mega Evolution of the Fire Fox in Kalos?"

"Fu!"

The fire fox nodded; it was, of course, the super stone it had obtained from another fiery red fox!
Upon hearing this, Dujianshe seemed to be deep in thought. To be precise, it must have been snatched from the other demonic fire foxes.

"Fu~"

This isn't robbery; it's an inheritance received after undergoing trials.

Besides, it wasn't a foreign fox to begin with; it was Carlos's native fox from the very beginning.

However, it's strange that in the end, even though it was the long-tailed fox that won, the fox still managed to defeat it.

"After all, we've undergone serious training."

Link had no doubt that the Fire Fox was strong enough to dominate the wild population.

Blazing Roaring Tiger, on the other hand, was somewhat confused about its improved state after advancing to the next level.

According to Professor Yamanashi's theory, after Mega Evolution, some characteristics of the final evolved Pokémon will regress to the second growth stage, right? And Dragonite's Mega Evolution has proven this to them—they have become more peaceful, although they are the kind of Pokémon that beats you up with good intentions.

But if the Blazing Roaring Tigers evolve again, how will they revert to their growth stage?
Will he start walking on all fours from standing upright, or will the flame belt turn into a bell, or will his slowed reaction speed return to its peak or even improve further?
Garchomp's reactions become slower after Mega Evolution, right? So, is it possible for Incineroar to become faster?

"Well... I think Garchomp would be quite aggrieved if that's really the case. Besides, there are advantages to having a slow Pokémon responsible for defensive positioning. Maybe it'll be able to keep the Focus Sash, regain the Bell, and also get the Cloak and Mask?"

Wrestling Masked Tiger?
It sounds like the kind of elf that might come from the Parthian region.

Blazing Roaring Tiger: "!"

That's so cool!

It immediately made up its mind to continue training until it could Mega Evolve without a Mega Stone!
However, Arcanine was a little worried, feeling that Mega Evolution might not be as helpful as Crystallization.

In a formal battle where each team is limited to one Mega Evolution, I and Incineroar probably won't have that chance.

That said, there are so many Mega Stones for Houndoom, but so few for Arcanine. If one were to be found, which subspecies would it be for...?

"It's really hard to say. Maybe the next level of Fire and Rock is Fire Steel, which would be much more powerful than Fire and Rock or pure Fire and pure Rock."

Link paused for a moment, then speculated, "If it's a pure Fire-type Arcanine, is it possible for it to Mega Evolve into a Fire-Dragon type?"

Although it sounds like an added attribute, Arcanine has far more Dragon-type attributes than Exeggutor... After all, dragons have nine sons.

"Fu~"

The fire fox thought so too, but it felt that things probably wouldn't go as the trainer wished.

Let's get back to Mega Youko.

Back in Carlos, it witnessed the Mega Evolution of the Fire Fox. At that time, the fur on its arms, legs, tail, and part of its head would become like that of a different Fire Fox, and the golden fur on its shoulders would protrude outwards, becoming the same as the white fur on its shoulders during the Long-tailed Fire Fox's stage.

The white fur on the chest and sideburns of the male mega-class Fiery Red Fox has grown further, resembling a beard and a scarf.

The female Mega Flame Fox has shorter fur on its chest and longer white fur at the back of its head, resembling a bow tie and long white hair.

Overall, it's practically like a male/female witch...

"That sounds pretty good. It even differentiates the form based on gender."

In reality, elves look quite different from those in the game, with subtle differences depending on their gender and upbringing.

But Link had never heard of gender differences that appeared after Mega Evolution before.

The original Fire Fox looked more like an old lady... but after evolving, they become a relatively wise wizard and a mysterious witch respectively?

I wonder what Bricaron's Mega Evolution will look like...

Aside from their appearance, Link was also very curious about the evolved abilities of Kalos's starter Pokémon.

"Fu!"

Fire Fox gets excited whenever the power of Mega Flame Fox is mentioned.

It aligns with the direction that trainers have been striving for!
Mega Flame Fox's fighting style is exactly the same as theirs!

"You mean you attach your energy and spirit to objects like tree branches, making them act autonomously and even perform special moves?"

"Muf!"

That's right, this is exactly the fighting style of Mega Repulse Red Fox!
Their greatly enhanced superpowers cause two tree branches to levitate, swaying as if imbued with magical consciousness, thus confusing their opponents.

He would ride on a giant tree branch and fly through the air, launching a barrage of attacks from the three branches, or combining the three branches to unleash a combined attack that would normally require time to charge up!

"Wang?"

It sounds like your training approach and direction are correct, but in this way, wouldn't the Fire Fox be essentially getting no improvement beyond its basic abilities after evolving into Mega Fire Fox?

Link was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. Arcanine seemed a bit dull, but it always managed to say something surprising.

The fire fox shook its head repeatedly. Who said there was no improvement? Having trained this ability since it was a child, it could not only control three branches, but even more.

This allows for more complex, challenging, multi-attribute, and even unique combined attacks, making actual battles as vibrant and colorful as a grand splendid event, and even transforming energy-infused tree branches into another version of themselves...

"FumQ~"

Ultimately, tree branches aren't really necessary; they can be replaced with more powerful and effective crystal blocks. And don't forget, it also has its own exclusive item, the "Magic☆Ruby."

"To be honest, you haven't evolved at all, and I almost forgot about this exclusive item that I've hardly ever used..."

After all, the Fire Fox herself is not suited to wielding a branch-shaped wand, and the Ties Scarf itself would take up an item slot, so she only occasionally asks the Fiery Roaring Tiger to help her wear it.

"Fu!"

It's alright, the time has come, it has decided to evolve into a long-tailed fire fox!
