You are not allowed to be a Pokémon Trainer!

Chapter 275: How can it have such a perverted characteristic as [parental love]? (6k)

One side digs a hole, the other splits tiles.

Within half a minute of its appearance, Amiya's main force Magneton was rendered unable to fight!

The terrifying scene elicited gasps from the audience.

[That was it? Shakiras's damage output is terrifying!]

[I'm not sure. The last time I watched Shakiras fight was over two months ago at the Petalburg Gym.]

[I saw that match too. The Gym Leader's Kangaskhan was basically used as a punching bag. His strength has increased way too fast!]

[Not only that, its size has also increased significantly since then, it seems to be almost two meters tall. If it evolves into Tyranitar, wouldn't it be over three meters tall?]

[I just thought the Mega Steelix's physical defense had been swapped out and was lower, but Magneton's physical defense isn't low either.]

The damage from a four-times counter is truly terrifying!

【.】

Xia Chi, who knows his own Pokémon inside and out, was naturally not as shocked as the viewers in the comments.

Although it seems like only two months have passed, Tongzi is putting in a lot of effort!
If his strength is still the same as it was two months ago when he was whipped around like a top by a thousand miles away.
I didn't hang up for nothing, and I didn't eat the magic candy for nothing, did I?

To be honest, at level 51, with equipment synergy bonuses and the Dragon Dance enhancement, you're good to go.

It's perfectly reasonable to have a move that deals four times the damage of a STAB move cripple the opponent and then finish them off with a move that deals half the damage of a STAB move that deals double the damage, right?
Not to mention that the [Dark Attribute] bond's fear value has already reached 1500 points, resulting in a damage increase of over 200%.

In short, Xia Chi successfully navigated the first round of the Mikkuri Cup in a rather unglamorous manner.

Two days later, he will face Feng Lu in the second round, which is also the semi-final.

Generally, matches where the main participants are dojo masters are spaced two days apart.

After all, the stronger the elf, the longer it takes for its injuries and stamina to fully recover.

This is something everyone has known since the alliance was founded many years ago.

However, there have been many voices urging the tournament to start as soon as possible this year's Mikkelsen Cup.

[Only a few Mega Evolved Pokémon? Not enough! Hurry up and bring out the rest!]

[I don't care if you don't play matches, please, just release some new super-evolved forms to whet our appetites! I'll do anything!]

Such comments were rampant.

Michael, the founder of the Michael Cup, was having a major headache.

"Why don't you create that 'Mega Evolution Pokémon Ranking'?"

The first day of the competition had just ended, and during dinner, Mikoli made a suggestion to Xia Chi.

"Otherwise, with them making such a fuss, it'll be difficult for me to handle."

Xia Chi glanced at Mikoli, whose expression was "helpless," and was somewhat speechless. "Just say you want to see it."

It's unbelievable that this guy could come up with such a lame excuse.

Seeing that he had been exposed, Teacher Da Mi stopped pretending and chuckled, "The main problem is that this super stone-making machine is producing too slowly."

Ten yuan a day, and these days I've just finished making the super stones for the Feng Lu Ma embroidery and other elves.

However, Daigo stated that Devon Corporation headquarters has already begun full-speed production of the Super Stone Maker.

It is expected that deliveries will officially begin next year.

With nothing much to do these past two days, Xia Chi finally agreed to Mikeli's request to "represent public opinion."

However, the situation has changed.

Not a video, but a live stream.

Compared to the well-made and information-packed "Myths and Legends" series, the "Super Evolution Elf Ranking" theme is more suitable for casual conversation.

There's no need for elaborate visuals; the important thing is the content. Just present it like a stand-up comedy routine.

From this perspective, live streaming is undoubtedly a better way to output content than video.

And just like that adult, he talked about the Mega Evolution of dozens of Pokémon one by one, spending half an hour on each one. Xia Chi really couldn't keep up.

So, after finishing dinner and returning to my room...

After a brief preparation, Xia Chi logged into her long-unused Pixiv account, adjusted her equipment, and then started her live stream.

------

The live stream had just started.

Even though the screen was still black, a massive number of viewers flooded into the live stream!
The number of online users skyrocketed, exceeding 10,000 in just a few seconds!

Most of them are core fans who have followed Xia Chi's account, and who jumped in immediately after seeing the pop-up notification while browsing videos on Pixiv.

This astonishing fan base is something even the world's number one Pokémon streamer, Qishu, could hardly match.

But it doesn't matter, we're all on the same side, so I'm sure Qishu won't care about this kind of title.

"Hello hello? Moshi moshi? Aloha? Can you hear me?"

As soon as Xia Chi spoke his first words into the microphone, the screen was already filled with a dense barrage of comments.

【? ? ? ? ? ? 】

[Holy crap?! Did I see that right? Xia Chi herself is streaming?!]

[Oh no, I must be hallucinating from staying up all night, I actually saw Prison Water livestreaming...]

[Holy crap, I was watching a suggestive video when I was suddenly reminded that Xia Chi had started streaming. I couldn't help but cough.]

The title is "A Comprehensive Review of Mega Evolved Pokémon." Holy crap, that's some serious advice!

[I'm so touched, Lao Shui is a top trainer now, and he's still playing with us poor guys 555]

[Teacher Xia Chi, could you please tell me if Gardevoir can Mega Evolve?! (Donation: 1000 League Coins)]

【.】

Xia Chi had just turned on her camera when she saw a glittering gold-plated paid message.

"Hey hey hey, friends!"

He quickly waved his hand into the microphone, "This is a charity live stream, purely for charity, no gifts required! I'll talk about every Pokémon that can Mega Evolve today, no deception!"

Just kidding, Xia Chi isn't doing live streams to make money.

Is he the kind of person who's short of a few dollars?
Not to mention that he can get a considerable profit from each of the Keystones and Superstones that haven't even been released for sale yet.

Just considering the Crystal Pearls that have been sold in Padia for half a year, it's enough for him to raise a whole island of Dragonite.

The main reason for starting the broadcast, besides making it easier to explain super evolution, is also to reminisce about my first job that made me rich.

Seeing that the number of viewers in the live stream had reached over 10, Xia Chi began today's live stream content.

Open the Pokédex webpage and navigate to Gardevoir.

Xia Chi said, "Hey, the Gardevoir that the student just mentioned is actually one of the main characters we're going to talk about today."

"Mega Gardevoir is quite an amazing Pokémon. Let's take a look at its stats first."

I don't know why, but whenever this kind of thing is mentioned, Xia Chi seems to be possessed and turns into a fan of the Speaker Shuai Xia.

[What is that? Measurements? Will it be broadcast?]

[Teacher Xia Chi, the cat next to you is showing its shadow claws! Shut up!]

[It's alright, I'm immune to Shadow Claws, like a prison water elemental.]

[You're already talking about something so explosive right after you arrived? Were you feeling repressed, Prisoner Shui-hyun?]

This is wonderful news! Absolutely fantastic news!

"No, what are you thinking?"

Xia Chi said helplessly, "The three stats I'm referring to are the changes in Gardevoir's base stats after Mega Evolution."

"Generally speaking, after a Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution, its stats will change in all aspects except for its life force and stamina. Gardevoir is no exception."

"And nearly half of this boost is applied to Special Attack, while the rest is evenly distributed across Attack, Special Defense, and Speed, which is a fairly perfect distribution."

Xia Chi concluded, "In terms of ability stats, we can give it 90 points, deducting 10 points for unnecessary physical attack."

Since there is no concept of racial stats in the real world, Xia Chi cannot provide detailed numerical values ​​and can only describe them in a more abstract way.

But that's not the point.

The big one is coming.

"Gardedoll's Mega Evolution will also bring about a change in its ability."

Xia Chi uttered four words: "Fairy skin!"

Normal-type moves used by Pokémon will become Fairy-type and gain a 30% damage boost!
Moreover, although it seems to be only 30%, you can actually get a 50% bonus to your own element, which is actually as high as 195% when multiplied!

It's almost the same as crystallization.

The value of this feature is obvious to everyone. As soon as Xia Chi said it, the barrage of comments surged.

[Holy crap! A fairy skin! Is this Arceus's favorite daughter?]

[As expected of a super wife-monster!]

[The main problem is that Gardevoir's original abilities are too weak: synchronization, copying, telepathy—what are these even?]

[In this way, the damage from a deafening roar is even higher than that from a magical flash!]

Besides Mega Slam and Swift Strike, what other Normal-type moves are useful, like Body Slam and Giga Impact?

I used Giga Impact on Gardevoir, and Gardevoir used Body Slam on me, hehehehe

[Karune: Teacher Xia Chi, can Mega Gardevoir be used as a tactical core?]

[Holy crap! The champion of Karuni is here! Let's take a picture!]

Karuni, who has a gold V title, posted a very eye-catching comment, not to mention a group of messengers who added "+1".

Xia Chi quickly saw Karuni's comments.

After a moment's thought, he pondered for a moment and said, "Absolutely. In fact, whether in terms of versatility or the strength of the Pokémon itself, Mega Gardevoir is one of the best offensive cores."

Of course, he should be ranked after the all-powerful and unparalleled Ma Ga.

Xia Chi continued, "As for weaknesses, the fact that there's not much that Steel-type Pokémon can handle is quite a headache. Magic Fire and Aura Sphere are good countermeasures, but they still require support from teammates."

After a lengthy introduction lasting over two minutes, Xia Chi concluded, "All things considered, I would rank Mega Gardevoir in the 'top tier' category, second only to Mega Gengar and Mega Metagross!"

As for those two exceptional individuals, Xia Chi's rating was naturally top-notch!
Meanwhile, upon hearing that Xia Chi had suddenly started a live stream, featuring a special segment on the ranking of Mega Evolved Pokémon, a large number of trainers flooded into the live stream room.

IDs with gold V verification began popping up on the screen one after another. Even if they weren't regional champions like Karune, they were at least gym leaders or elite players.

------

"Alright, let's talk about the next one."

Although the discussion about Mega Gardevoir in the live chat was still heated, Xia Chi switched to her second Pokémon.

Dozens of elves were lined up behind him, waiting, and he didn't want to talk until dawn.

Xia Chi took a sip of water, his finger hovering over the mouse, and the Pokémon encyclopedia page instantly switched to another incredibly popular Pokémon.

"Let's give a round of applause to Charizard, the only Pokédex member with two Mega Evolutions, Arceus's favorite son!"

This is in the case that Mewtwo has not yet been born, or rather, it has been born but Xia Chi is unaware of it.

Charizard is the most special one.

Xia Chi explained, "Its super evolution form has two branches, which I call X and Y. Everyone has seen the X form of the fire dragon with dual attributes before, but today we will focus on the Y form!"

"The type of Mega Charizard Y has not changed; it remains Fire and Flying."

"Compared to the X-type Mega Charizard, which enhances physical attack and melee capabilities, the Y-type Mega Charizard's greatest feature is its unparalleled ranged special attack ability!"

"As we all know, Charizard is a creature whose special attack is better than its physical attack. With Mega Evolution, it becomes even better. So in terms of offensive capabilities, Charizard Y will have a slight advantage."

[Leon: Teacher Xia Chi, it sounds like this Y form is a great match for my Charizard!]

[DanDi Champion!]

[Wait, Dan Di, aren't you Senior Brother Lao Shui? Why are you calling him "Teacher" now? You've turned the tables on the Heavenly Gang!]

[Prisoner's Water: In real life you can call me Junior Brother Xia Chi, but what should you call me in my live stream?]

The appearance of Dani, the heavyweight champion, once again caused a frenzy among the commenters.

Xia Chi was also a little embarrassed and said, "Senior Brother Dan Di, please don't call me teacher anymore. I'm afraid I'll get a double beating from Master and Mistress next time I go to Armor Island!"

After the joke, he said seriously, "That's right, I think the Y-spray is stronger and more suitable for you, senior brother."

Leon's Charizard is already a special attack powerhouse, and the Y-form Charizard can naturally enhance this advantage to an unlimited extent.

"Moreover, the most powerful aspect of the Y-Spray is not its stat boosts, but rather its unique characteristics."

Xia Chi said, "After Mega Evolution, Charizard's ability will become [Sunlight]!"

[Rizhao? Holy crap! A new weather team core has arrived!]

[That's such a shame. The hidden ability, Solar Power, was also very useful. It would have been better if it had been switched.]

[Normal form 'Sunlight', super evolved form 'Solar Power'? That would be perfect!]

However, in reality, it's all one-on-one combat. Having Ninetales activate Sunny Day before switching in Charizard to deal damage is too slow. Charizard Y can activate its own weather and immediately start attacking!

Xia Chi laughed and said, "Everyone should stop fantasizing about 'sunlight' first and then 'solar power'. That's too terrifying. Even if Charizard is Arceus's favorite son, it's impossible."

Of course, this excludes Guleton's [Crimson Pulse].

But what can you do when someone is a first-level god?
"In short, [Sunlight] is more practical than [Solar Power]. Once activated, it immediately blows hot air onto your face. Who would dare to take that job?"

Xia Chi said, "Moreover, there is another advantage: when facing rain teams or sandstorm teams, we have another way to take advantage of the weather."

"We can have Ninetales activate Sunny Day first, and Charizard use its normal form's [Solar Power] to deal damage. After the opponent changes the weather, we can use Mega Evolution's [Sunlight] to take it back!"

"In conclusion, all things considered, Mega Charizard Y is, in my opinion, a super evolution form that can rival Mega Gengar."

Xia Chi took a sip of water and concluded, "I would give it a 'super awesome' rating!"

Well deserved!

[Leon gets a huge buff! Meanwhile, Cynthia's Mega Garchomp seems to have finished its buff, according to Prisoner?]

[That can't be right. Looking at all the Mega Evolutions that have appeared so far, apart from Mega Steelix, they all seem very strong. It's probably just an exaggeration, right?]

As it turns out, that wasn't the case at all.

Just like Pokémon, there are strong and weak Pokémon, and the same applies to Mega Evolution.

After introducing Mega Gardevoir and Mega Charizard Y, Xia Chi consciously brought up several of the more powerful Mega Evolutions.

It wasn't meant to dampen the audience's enthusiasm, but rather to remind them not to blindly assume that super evolution is necessarily perfect.

Super Glalie, Super Aggron, and the Super Steelix that appeared during the afternoon's match.
These sprites constitute the "bottom layer" of the super-evolved form.

"My rating of these Pokémon as 'not recommended' is not intended to belittle them, nor is it to categorize Pokémon into different tiers; rather, it is a reminder."

Xia Chi sincerely said, "Most trainers' resources may only be enough to gamble on one Mega Stone. If they go bankrupt and end up with only limited improvement or even an embarrassing form, it will be a huge blow to their confidence and future."

"This is also my original intention for starting this live stream: to let everyone improve through super evolution, rather than making mistakes."

After finishing applying the armor, Xia Chi cleared his throat and continued, "The next one to appear is even more of a heavyweight!"

The Pokédex page switches to a monster figure with a pouch, which is none other than Kangaskhan!
[Kangaroo. Heavyweight?]

Aside from Senri's Kangaskhan, the owner of the Petalburg Woods, there don't seem to be any other Kangaskhan that have left a deep impression on me.

[Qianli (Orange Blossom Gym Leader): Oh? Teacher Xia Chi, please explain in detail!]

"The stat increases of Mega Kangaskhan are average, showing well-rounded development with no particularly outstanding weaknesses, but also without the explosive single-stat boosts of Mega Gardevoir or Mega Charizard Y."

Xia Chi laid the groundwork first.

In the game, even after Mega Evolution, Kangaskhan's highest single Attack stat only increases by thirty points.

Compared to its ordinary form, it's only a slight improvement, not particularly strong.

It's not even as powerful as many Pokémon before their Mega Evolution.

"However, Mega Evolution gives Kangaskhan an unparalleled core competitive advantage."

Xia Chi said, "In fact, this is a unique characteristic that has never appeared in the entire Pokédex: parental love!"

[Parent-child love? This name sounds so heartwarming]

"Warm?"

Xia Chi smiled, "After you hear about the effects of this feature, you can see for yourselves whether it's warm and cozy!"

After a slight pause, Xia Chi continued, "The effect of this ability is very simple and straightforward: all of Mega Kangaskhan's attacks, including their additional effects, will activate twice!"

"The first hit is from the main body of the Kangaskhan, and the second hit is from the smaller Kangaskhan, but the damage will be reduced."

【? ? ? 】

Holy crap! All attacks are launched twice?!

【This is supposed to be cozy? It's downright gloomy!】

[Is this parental love? This is more like a mixed doubles match!]

[Qianli (Stonecrown Gym Leader): Are you sure the additional effect can trigger twice?]

[Qianli: I've trained Normal-type Pokémon for half my life, and you're telling me you can play with Kangaskhan like this?]

Wait a minute. Doesn't that mean the fear effect from moves like Rock Slide can trigger multiple times?

"That's right, the additional effect can indeed be triggered twice."

Xia Chi laughed and said, "But the most useful one isn't Rock Slide, it's [Enhanced Fist]!"

Enhance Punch is a Fighting-type physical attack move with only 40 damage on its base stats.

But as its name suggests, its most important function is that it can increase the Pokémon's physical attack power by 100% after hitting the target!
The two additions represent two levels of improvement!

[Huh? You mean, Mega Kangaskhan's Power Punch has turned into Swords Dance, which is immune to Taunt and can still deal damage?!]

Holy crap! Is this a real-world feature?!

[Qianli (Orange Blossom Gym Leader):]

[Hahaha, the owner of the Qianli Pavilion is dumbfounded!]

[Gym Leader Senri is currently only thinking about getting the Mega Stone from Kangaskhan as soon as possible so he can challenge the Hoenn Elite Four!]

[The Four Heavenly Kings? Champion!]

[It's not impossible; two enhanced punches could wipe out the entire team, and a life-steal punch could replenish their health if needed!]

The appearance of the Super Kangaskhan sparked the most heated discussion since the start of the live stream.

The reason is simple: the effect of the [parental love] characteristic is simply too revolutionary.

Some even joked that perhaps Arceus designed this characteristic in the world because Kangaskhan is also a Normal-type Pokémon.

Without a doubt, based on this characteristic alone, Mega Kangaskhan is enough to be ranked among the top-tier Pokémon in the Magia tactical core!

"Of course, the drawbacks of [parental love] are also obvious."

Xia Chi changed the subject, saying, "Two attacks mean it's easier to be countered by moves like the King's Shield and the Counter Punch, and the backlash from using moves like the Arm Hammer, which have side effects, will be more severe."

"But its flaws don't overshadow its merits. With its unparalleled parental love trait, Mega Kangaskhan has the tactical value and offensive power of Mega Gengar, making it undoubtedly 'amazing'!"

------

This marathon live stream, which can be described as an "encyclopedia of super evolution," lasted for four or five hours.

The show ended amidst the audience's lingering groans and Xia Chi's nearly ruined voice.

He gulped down a large glass of Miaoha's special honey throat lozenge before he could barely regain a little bit of his voice.

Even so, the vast array of Mega Evolutions in the Pokédex cannot cover all the details.

However, his initial goal was—

"Helping trainers avoid pitfalls and see the potential of Mega Evolution" is an achievement that exceeds expectations.

The next two days.

Online discussions about super evolution continue to be heated, with various analysis posts and tactical speculations emerging one after another.

However, Xia Chi herself seemed to have retreated from the eye of the storm and entered a recharging mode.

Apart from necessary Pokémon training, they stayed home, avoiding visitors and focusing on rest and recuperation.

Shakiras has been stuck at level 51 for almost half a month.

He had a vague premonition that perhaps the long-awaited moment of evolution was about to arrive.

time flies.

Finally, under the spotlight of countless eyes, the semi-final day of the Mikkuri Cup Grand Contest arrived as scheduled.
