Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

"Recruiting a team member like Haoyan isn't just about brute force!"

"Instead, we should cater to his preferences and focus on his weaknesses!"

Just as Flame was about to retort, Crimson Pine interrupted the two, asking the Hokage, who had remained silent all along, "Hokage, what are your thoughts on this Haoyan?"

The Hokage shook his head and said, "I have no idea."

"We, Team Magma, are a group of people who fight for a 'great ideal'."

"No matter how strong or intelligent a person is, they cannot change anything."

"Therefore, I don't think it's necessary to waste too much energy on Haoyan."

"The right path is to seize the time to accomplish our 'great ideal'."

"As for the conflict between the Flame and the Fire Goose, I think it would be best if we could incorporate it into the conflict."

"If he insists on continuing to oppose us, then we will eliminate him directly and prevent him from becoming a stumbling block on our great journey."

The Hokage's words resonated deeply with Akamamatsu.

After calming down, Crimson Pine said to everyone present, "Our Fire Rock Team is working towards a great goal, and we shouldn't focus on petty personal grudges."

"Currently, our arch-rival, the Navy, is far ahead of us in terms of progress."

"Therefore, we need to speed up our research progress."

"This is our most critical matter right now."

At this point, Chi Yansong stroked his chin and said, "As for Haoyan, thoroughly investigate where he lives."

"After you find out, Huoyan, you should go and contact him first. It would be best if you could recruit him into our Huoyan team."

"If that doesn't work, then it's your turn to shine, Flame."

"Does everyone understand?"

"Understood!" Inside the office, the three senior officers and the team leaders all answered loudly.

... ...

Chapter 138 Little Ou, you've completed your super evolution!

Whether it's external speculation or the Fire Rock Team's opinion of him.

Haoyan doesn't pay any attention to it.

He had returned to his home in Autumn Leaf Town, sitting in his study, eyes closed, deep in thought.

He is now focusing all his energy on super evolution.

"15000 reward points are enough. Let's give them to whoever gets the Super Stone first."

"We don't need to consider Little Smoker for now. He hasn't evolved into Tyranitar yet, and his skills and combat abilities haven't been adjusted."

"Although the little dragon evolved into a Charizard, its Mega Evolution has two paths."

"We still need to consider which form the little dragon should evolve into."

Haoyan first ruled out Charizard and Shakira.

"The rest are Xiao Lu and Xiao Ou."

"Xiao Lu... is already very well-rounded."

"However, the team urgently needs a tank to stand in front. Before Shakiras has fully developed, Xiao Ou should take on more responsibility as both a damage dealer and a tank."

"Right now, promoting Xiao Ou will have a greater impact on the team!"

"Also, Xiao Ou's calm personality should be able to withstand the negative effects of super evolution."

Haoyan had made a plan: first, he would Mega Evolve Lucario, and then, once he had saved up enough reward points, he would evolve Gardevoir.

Mega Evolution transcends the boundaries of Pokémon evolution and belongs to a higher level of evolution.

Pokémon that have undergone Mega Evolution will temporarily unleash their hidden power, exhibiting abilities that cannot be obtained through normal evolution.

Super Evolution is a temporary state that cannot be maintained permanently; it is similar to a time-limited buff skill.

It can be said that once a Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution, its strength can be greatly enhanced.

Such powerful abilities do not come without a price.

Pokémon that have gained great power may become uncontrollable if they are not mentally strong enough.

After making the decision, Haoyan called out to himself.

"Call system".

"Host."

Immediately, a gentle, mechanical female voice came from the system.

"Open the system store."

"Opening the system store for the host..."

Hao Yan called out to the system, "I want to exchange for a Lucario Mega Stone."

"Does the host confirm the use of 15000 reward points to exchange for a Lucario Mega Stone?"

"confirm!"

When Haoyan opened his eyes again, there was an oval-shaped stone on the table.

[Mega Stone: Lucario's exclusive item.]

[Function: Allows Lucario to absorb the energy into its body, after which it can enter Mega Evolution state.]

[Note: After absorbing this item, Lucario can directly activate its energy and enter Mega Evolution state without needing a Key Stone.]

"Not bad, we don't even need keystones. The system's gifts are really good." Hao Yan weighed the stone in his hand and walked out of the laboratory.

In the yard, four Pokémon are training.

"Little Lucario, come here for a second." Haoyan waved to Lucario.

"Lucario!" Lucario put down his training and walked up to Haoyan.

"Little Ou, do you want to gain even greater power?" Hao Yan asked with a smile.

"Lucario!" Lucario looked at the small Mega Stone in Haoyan's hand with surprise.

Becoming stronger is something every Pokémon desires!

"Little Ou, I have a super stone here."

"It can allow you to Mega Evolve and gain even greater power," Hao Yan said earnestly to Lucario.

“Lucario!” Lucario looked at Haoyan, waiting for him to continue.

"After entering super evolution, you may get lost."

"Therefore, you must always stay clear-headed and not let the power of super evolution take over your reason."

"Do you understand?" Hao Yan looked at Lucario with a serious expression.

"Luca!"

Lucario nodded heavily. Hao Yan had never spoken to him so solemnly before, which made him extremely attentive.

"Okay, get yourself into the best state first."

"You're ready? Let's begin!" Haoyan said to Lucario.

"Luca!"

Lucario sat cross-legged and began to meditate.

"Lucario, Lucario, and Sylvanas, come here." Hao Yan whispered some important instructions to Lucario while he was meditating.

To prevent Lucario from going into a berserk state after Mega Evolution, we must prepare in advance.

... ...

After a while, Lucario emerged from his meditative state.

My energy and spirit have been adjusted to their optimal state.

"Lucario!" Lucario called out to Haoyan, indicating that he was ready.

"Xiao Ou, if it doesn't work, just quit. Don't hesitate!"

"Your safety is the top priority, understand?" Haoyan instructed again.

"Luca!"

Lucario understood Haoyan's concern for him.

"Okay, take it!"

"Absorb this stone into your body." Haoyan handed over a super stone.

"Lucario!" Lucario took the Mega Stone.

It slowly absorbed the energy emitted by the super stone.

Haoyan stared intently at Lucario, not missing a single detail.

My palms were covered in sweat from nervousness.

As Lucario slowly absorbs the energy of the Mega Stone.

White starlight began to shimmer around Lucario.

Gradually, more and more white starlight appeared, enveloping Lucario.

The white ray of light, representing evolution, has finally appeared!

Haoyan's hands were clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.

Finally, after the white light dissipated.

A brand new Lucario stood before him.

His body, forged from steel, is even more robust than before.
