Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Xia Chen was woken up by Xianbu.

Looking at her bright, expectant eyes, Xia Chen, still half-asleep, knew what she was thinking.

He pulled up the covers and muttered helplessly, "Let me recover a little longer. I used up too much energy yesterday, and this won't last long..."

Xianbu persisted, saying, "Buyi~ (Just for a little while... it's not intense, just playing around~)"

"I just can't do anything with you..."

Xia Chen yawned and sat up in bed, picked up the keystone beside the bed, focused his mind, and his eyes suddenly became clear.

"Super Evolution!"

Like Rayquaza, Sylveon doesn't need a Mega Stone, so it evolved very smoothly.

Despite the novelty of its second Mega Evolution, Sylveon was still running high around the room, occasionally running to the bathroom mirror to admire itself.

Xia Chen continued to lie on the bed and sleep.

As long as he didn't fight, the mental strain of Mega Evolution couldn't be recovered as quickly as it had been, so Xia Chen just let Xianbu play by himself.

The aftereffects of transforming into Deoxys yesterday are still lingering. Xia Chen is extremely sleepy right now, and he feels like he could sleep all day.

However, not long after he drifted off to sleep, Xia Chen noticed someone gently shaking him.

He opened his eyes and saw Gardevoir.

Gardevoir knelt on the bed, her white skirt falling onto the light green sheets like a blooming lily.

Her rose-red eyes were filled with excitement, so much so that she, who always felt sorry for Xia Chen, chose to disturb him when he was resting.

Xia Chen immediately knew that things were not simple. He forced himself to cheer up and asked, "Gardedoll, what's wrong?"

She didn't reply, but instead put her small hand, which had been hidden behind her back, in front of her. In her palm was a super stone that was pure white with blue and black patterns!

Is this Gardevoir's Mega Stone?

Xia Chen was pleasantly surprised but also a little confused. He remembered that Gardevoir's Mega Stone Pattern should be pink and green.

But this one is blue and black, could it be... a different color?

Xia Chen remembered that the shiny Mega Gardevoir was dressed in a beautiful black dress, but Mega Stones could also be shiny or not?

Xia Chen scratched his head, then realized that this was a Mega Stone that Gardevoir had obtained on its own, so it was normal for it to be somewhat special.

And what's wrong with owning a unique super stone?

"Sanai... (I also want to try it like Sister Senbu...)"

Gardevoir's voice was soft and sweet, and it sounded almost shy.

Xia Chen smiled and said, "Of course you can, it's only natural."

Gardevoir asked疑惑地, "Gardevoir? (But aren't you doing that with Sylveon? Maybe I should wait a bit...)"

Xia Chen suddenly realized that it was because he was embarrassed about this.

He said confidently, "What's the big deal? You two can just go together."

Gardevoir exclaimed in surprise, "Gardevoir? (Is this okay? But didn't you say that a spiritual connection and bond need to be established between the trainer and the Pokémon?)"

Xia Chen said matter-of-factly, "That's right, but I didn't say I could only focus on one-on-one. I can be with both of you at the same time."

This isn't just nonsense. In the special manga, X was able to Mega Evolve his Kangaskhan, Raichu, Gengar, Kairos, and Charizard simultaneously, all he needed were five Key Stones.

Xia Chen didn't know what the world was like, but there was no cost to trying.

Since Xia Chen had said so, Gardevoir naturally agreed.

She nervously and anxiously held the Super Stone to her chest, took a deep breath, and said, "Sanae! (I'm ready!)"

Xia Chen nodded and instructed, "Clear your mind and eliminate distractions."

…………

Perhaps because Gardevoir is a Psychic-type Pokémon, its communication with its mind is very smooth.

The two streams of spiritual energy successfully converged between Xia Chen and Gardevoir, causing the Key Stone and Mega Stone to shine even brighter.

Immediately, a deep blue light enveloped Gardevoir, and subtle changes in her slender body became faintly visible.

Soon, the light faded, and Mega Gardevoir appeared!

Compared to Mega Sylveon, Mega Gardevoir's size hasn't changed much; it's still around 1.8 meters tall.

But just because the body shape hasn't changed doesn't mean that other parts have changed less.

Xia Chen looked at Mega Gardevoir with amazement in his eyes.

At first glance, almost everyone's attention will be drawn to that voluminous black dress, as deep as the polar night.

Black represents elegance and contains mystery, possessing a more aloof and sophisticated charm than a white dress that showcases a young girl's purity.

It's fair to say that the reason Shiny Gardevoir was so popular among Pokémon players in its previous life was largely due to its black dress after Mega Evolution.

The significance of a black dress is the same as the significance of the platinum and gold color scheme of the Megalomon – the right color scheme is what gives it its charm!

The changes to Mega Gardevoir are not limited to this. Above its slender waist, which is tightly wrapped by the skirt, Gardevoir has an additional orange-red horn used to store energy, which has been transformed into a pair of bows, making it even more elegant.

On her head, several symmetrical pointed horns extended from beneath her short, royal blue hair, resembling a fashionable headdress.

"Absolutely gorgeous!"

Xia Chen rubbed his temples and praised him sincerely.

Gardevoir smiled shyly, blooming like a flower, like a girl who had received praise from her beloved.

However, she quickly noticed Xia Chen frowning and rubbing his temples, and hurriedly reverted to her normal form, asking, "Sa Nai? (What's wrong? Is it too exhausting to do both at the same time?)"

As soon as Gardevoir finished its Mega Evolution, Xia Chen's spirits improved significantly.

He said helplessly, "A little. I thought it would be easy..."

As it turns out, performing the Mega Evolution of two Pokémon simultaneously is not as simple as one plus one. The mental strain he just experienced was almost as great as when he Mega Evolved Rayquaza.

He estimated that if he were in peak mental condition and simultaneously maintained the high-intensity battle of two Pokémon's Mega Evolution, he could only last for a maximum of five minutes.

As expected, the settings from the special manga can't be directly applied to reality...

In any case, I've officially tried Mega Evolution with Gardevoir, so now I have two Pokémon that can Mega Evolve.

To be honest, Mega Evolution has not yet been officially announced, so there are no related provisions in the Pokémon battle rules.

As the discoverer of Mega Evolution, I should be qualified to make suggestions. So, should we limit each game to only one Mega Evolved Pokémon, just like in the game of my previous life?

After thinking it over, Xia Chen felt that this was still the best competition format, both from the perspective of balance and in terms of the mental burden on trainers, and it was best to follow it.

Furthermore, there will be Z-Moves in the future, and it's possible that Galar and Padia will have new systems; everything remains to be seen.

In short, we'll talk about those four big words later.

…………

Xia Chen didn't publicize the fact that Gardevoir could also undergo Mega Evolution. He just took a picture and sent it to Cynthia and to Karune, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time, to show off.

The latter was preparing for Carlos's championship challenge at the time, and unsurprisingly, he was shocked, exclaiming five exclamation marks and three question marks in a row.

Xia Chen briefly explained what super evolution was, and Karuni immediately said—could you get me one too?

Xia Chen replied that she is currently in the research phase and it is highly likely that she will miss her championship challenge.

Karune said it didn't matter whether she took the challenge or not, the black-dressed Gardevoir was just too tempting!

Then Xia Chen told her some bad news—the black evening gown was exclusive to shiny Gardevoir; regular Gardevoirs didn't have this feature.

There's been no reply for a long time; they're probably really frustrated.

Even after getting angry, Xia Chen didn't forget to comfort her, promising to notify her as soon as there was any progress in the research on the Super Stone.

Karuni then ended the conversation with satisfaction.

Over the next few days, Xia Chen did almost nothing but three things: either he stayed at home practicing Mega Evolution with Sylveon and Gardevoir, or he rushed to the Mega Evolution research lab that had been set up at lightning speed, and he spent his free time editing the videos he had filmed that day.

Time flies by in a fulfilling and busy atmosphere.

Before the grand celebration and the initial research on the Super Stone were completed, the first thing that was done was the casually filmed vlog.

Xia Chen transformed himself into something like Deoxys, cutting out all the parts that couldn't be shown, and clicked "publish" late at night on the 19th.

Then, without any prior notice, the video garnered over a million views in just one hour!

The subsequent impact of this video goes far beyond this.

Chapter 339, Super Evolution, is here!

"Doudou pigeons, it's been a long time!"

When Xia Chen's handsome face appeared in the video, a dense barrage of comments instantly covered the entire screen.

"Grandpa, the content creator you follow has updated!"

"A treat for night owls!"

"Holy crap, over 10 people are watching simultaneously! Are so many people still awake?"

"Isn't it even more so now? The last time you posted a video, my three-headed dragon was just a single-headed dragon!"

"Finally updated! Hurry up and serve it! (Joyful)"

"The title of this episode is a bit tricky, with both a mystery guest and a mystery event."

"You damn pigeon, you still have the nerve to come back? You're punished by having to post one video every hour! (Fairy Pink support color)"

"Wow, Xia Chen also has an account on Pixiv, and he posted so many food videos before."

"Haha, we have a new fan! Welcome to the DouDouGe family! Follow GuGuGeMiao, thank you GuGuGeMiao~"

Because Xia Chen hadn't updated his videos in a long time, these fans, who were waiting for updates like a group of lonely women in their boudoirs, were quite active in sending comments.

Almost every frame of the video was so full it was practically overflowing, making it impossible to watch without the comments. Turning it off felt like it just wasn't there.

The best solution is to turn it off and watch the video once, then watch it again with the comments on and on.

The video continues amidst a cheerful atmosphere of bullet comments.

Xia Chen didn't explain what he did during the time he stood people up. But the things he did could basically dominate the headlines and trending topics for ten days to half a month, so almost everyone knew about them.
