Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

Xiao Zhi has never lacked the confidence to become a strong person!

Chapter 133 The Mega Evolution Stone, the Professor's Gift and Entrustment

After dealing with Team Rocket's incident, Ash needs to stay in Martha City for a while.

He caused quite a stir this time, and naturally, the people in Pallet Town found out as well. Professor Oak and Nanami even rushed over that very night.

One of them is an authoritative Pokémon professor, and the other is an experienced breeder and doctor, so they are naturally very interested in Pokémon viruses.

After examination, a group of experts finally concluded that the virus did not cause any harm to Pokémon; it would only cause them to have a fever and sweat for a period of time.

However, in return, the strength of Pokémon will indeed be improved.

Knowing this, Ash could rest assured that Blue and Sabrina's hands would be infected together.

At the same time, Ash also teleported part of his handheld device elsewhere.

Dragonite was teleported back to Lyra in Pallet Town, Gengar went to Gary's place, Steelix was teleported to Brock who was traveling, Pinsir went to the Fighting Gym in Saffron City, and Bulbasaur was teleported to the Rainbow Gym.

In addition, Ash also temporarily passed on Wartortle to someone.

This move of his was definitely spreading poison everywhere, so he also told others that after receiving a Pokémon, they should keep it with their own Pokémon and not wander around or easily touch other people's Pokémon in the next few days!

As for the six Pokémon that Ash used in previous battles, they all improved significantly during this period.

Crobat, which was the most seriously injured, saw its speed and strength increase dramatically after recovering; Lucario has also mastered Extreme Speed ​​and is now moving even faster than before.

Pikachu naturally benefited the most, honing its skills in using electricity to accelerate during battles, and is now trying to perfect it into its third partner skill, Electric Acceleration.

In Ash's opinion, this is an even more powerful close-range attack than Extreme Speed.

Electric Acceleration has a priority comparable to Godspeed. Although its power on paper is insufficient, it can enjoy the attribute consistency bonus, and its overall power is not much inferior to Godspeed.

Most importantly, it also has the special effect of hitting the vital point!

Once Pikachu fully masters this move, its overall strength will undergo another qualitative leap, and it will be only one step away from completing its partner transformation!

So Ash spent the last few days in Marchas City undergoing special training.

As for starting the company, he entrusted it entirely to Nanami and transferred most of his assets to her.

The person who comes up with the idea may not be able to get things done. No matter how quick-witted Xiaozhi and Xiaolan are, they are still inexperienced.

Nanami is a perfect fit. She already had her own shop in the beauty district and knew how to build an industry from scratch.

As for the company's location, Ash decided on Celadon City.

In this way, he could not only take the opportunity to monitor Team Rocket's secret base, but also have the young lady there help look after it.

"Rika, I know her. She's a very talented and beautiful girl." As Xiaozhi talked on and on about the company's location selection and future development plans, Nanami's gaze became even more gentle and warm.

The boy next door she watched grow up has now become more mature and reliable.

Like a true adult, he began to lead those around him forward, and even became a secret protector of the Kanto Alliance!

In addition, he is really good at attracting girls; he knows of several himself.

Not to mention, in Pallet Town, there's a girl eagerly waiting to turn ten so she can go on a trip with someone~

Of course, Nanami doesn't dislike these things.

From the older sister's perspective, it's really a good thing that so many people like him now...

...

And so, the group worked overtime for several days in Macha City, finally making preliminary preparations for the subsequent plans.

Next, Ash will continue his journey, Professor Oak will return to Pallet Town to continue his research on the Pokémon Virus, and Nanami will take Professor Akihabara to Celadon City.

Just as they were about to part ways, the professor approached Ash with a serious expression and handed him something.

"Ash, I heard you got the Key Stone before, and I've been wanting to give you a gift."

"This is... Kangaskhan's Mega Stone?" Ash was taken aback when he saw the round stone the professor handed him.

Professor Oak was a former champion, so it's not surprising that his main Kangaskhan can Mega Evolve.

Ash never expected that the professor would give him his own Mega Stone!

"I don't need this anymore, so it's better to give it to you." The professor smiled, then suddenly patted Ash's shoulder earnestly and instructed, "Ash, you've always been a very reliable child, but there are some things I still need to tell you... You must live up to Bag's trust, and you must not be blinded by temporary power!"

"I've got it!" Ash immediately patted his chest and assured him, "I'll only use this Mega Stone at the right time!"

"Why is this?" This scene puzzled Natsume. "It's just a gift, why make such a fuss?"

She had learned about Ash's thoughts and knew that Ash never cared about these material things.

"Because Koko's situation is different," Nanami explained gently. "Kangaskhan's Mega Stone might affect Ash's future training of Koko."

Breeding marsupials is an extremely time-consuming and energy-intensive process.

As fast as a caterpillar, which may emerge from its cocoon in a week, a baby thylacine takes a full three years from hatching to leaving its mother's pouch!

This is only the time when it can act independently; before its pouch is fully developed, it will always be a baby.

Some baby kangaroos take one or two years to develop a full pouch, while most develop one after the first incubation of the egg, when the baby is born.

The standard for determining whether a Kangaskhan has reached a fully developed fighting force is whether it has become a mother.

Kangaskhan only unleashes its full power when it needs to protect its offspring, and the power of Mega Evolution is entirely focused on the baby Kangaskhan.

The so-called parent-child love characteristic is actually an attack on the bond between mother and child.

So in reality, a Mega Kangaskhan's peak combat power is only during the three years it spends raising its baby... or even less!

Professor Oak's concern lies in this: as a Kangaskhan trainer himself, he knows that many people repeatedly make Kangaskhan lay eggs in order to maintain their Mega Evolution power for a long time!

As long as you keep taking care of your baby, the Mega Stone will continue to work.

But the professor never did that. Even though his and Kangaskhan's strength had fallen below the Champion level because of the baby Kangaskhan growing up and leaving, he never even considered it!

Whether to lay eggs, with whom to lay them, and how many to have are all decisions that only Kangaskhan can make!

Now that he has given his own Mega Stone to Ash, he naturally hopes that Ash will not let him down!

"Of course, I'll put Pocket first!" Ash handed the Mega Stone to Pocket and made a promise to everyone.

"If it can find a suitable mate, I will wish it well in becoming a mother; but if it can't, that's okay too. We can just stay the way we are now. Anyway, we will never separate!"

"Crunch... crunch~" Little Bag happily rubbed its cheek against Ash's.

Being able to be with Ash was originally the happiest thing for it...

hum~

Suddenly, the Mega Stone in Xiaodai's hand inexplicably emitted a colorful light...

"Little Bag, could it be?!" Ash's eyes widened in surprise!

Chapter 134 A Groundbreaking Cellphone

The power of Kangaskhan's Mega Evolution was originally attached to Pokémon, but now Pokémon can resonate with Mega Stones...

Could it be that even without children, the little bag can achieve its super evolution form on its own?

Xiao Zhi thought about it more and more and felt that this was true. Although the pouch had grown quite a bit, it had not yet grown out of its pouch and was still strictly speaking in the category of 'baby'.

Perhaps that is why it is able to contain the power of the Mega Stone within itself.

Looking at the little bag with its curious expression, Ash knew what kind of training he would need to do on the journey ahead.

If the small bag can truly master the ability of self-evolution, it would certainly be a way to increase its power.

"It's obvious that Little Bag really likes you. You two should keep up the good work together." Professor Oak watched the interaction between the two, and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

As expected, Ash never disappoints.

"Ash, I'm taking Professor Akihabara to Celadon City now. Don't worry about the company matters, I'll definitely take care of them for you." Nanami also stepped forward to say goodbye to Ash.

"Thank you... Nanami-neechan." Ash thanked her gratefully, but his feelings gradually became somewhat complicated.

He thought back and realized that since he went on his trip, the word he had said to Nanami the most was "thank you".

Because the other party had genuinely been supporting him, Xiao Zhi seemed to have gotten used to it; someone at the research institute would answer his calls immediately and respond to emails promptly…

Even though they are far apart, she still has a way to provide Ash with proper support, so that he can have sufficient logistical support even when he is traveling alone.

Now, Nanami is once again busy working for Ash's company. Ash is grateful, but he can't think of anything he can do to repay her...

"Boss, this is a phone I've been working on these past few days. You can try it out first." Dr. Akihabara's voice interrupted Satoshi, who was deep in thought.

He came to his senses and realized that the other person was holding a red cell phone.

"I've integrated the functions of your Pokédex and Pokédex into it, and I've also added modules such as a camera, radar, and mobile network as you requested... I originally wanted to make a touchscreen version, but I didn't have enough time."

Ever since receiving Ash's final payment, Professor Akihabara has acted as if he's signed a contract of servitude, his level of respect for Ash has increased dramatically.

It wasn't that he lacked the integrity of a researcher; it was simply that his funding gap was too large.

Moreover, over the years, Ash and Blue were the first to appreciate his inventions, so he certainly wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to stand out.

So he worked almost through the night to create this new phone that he was sure would satisfy Xiao Zhi.

He even reserved a data interface in the phone so that the 3D dragon he created could enter the phone and act as artificial intelligence!
