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

…………

As the audience pondered, many noticed a blind spot in Super Sylvanas.

Wait... has something changed about Super Sylvanas?

Were the gems on her forehead and halo originally platinum gold?

Gazing at the bright yellow rhombus-shaped gem that seemed to shimmer with electric light inside, the audience fell into deep thought.

The collective memory is not so short-lived, and soon the comments reached a consensus—the color of the gemstone had indeed changed from white gold to bright yellow.

So, what does this mean?

Some experienced trainers immediately realized that the most likely explanation was that this was a characteristic similar to the ability to change one's form or that of a free agent.

Can Mega Evolution change traits?

Anyone with a basic understanding of battle knows the importance of abilities for a Pokémon, and the ability [Transform] is undoubtedly a top-tier ability.

The things Super Fairyclops displayed in just a few minutes left everyone somewhat numb, stunned into a state of numbing shock.

Significantly and directly boost strength, change attributes, change characteristics...

Is there anything that super evolution can't do?

Those trainers who were confident in their abilities became even more determined to get their hands on a set of Mega Evolution equipment!

Meanwhile, on the water field, the two continued their magnificent battle.

Sylveon's sudden display of powerful physical attack capabilities surprised Wallace and Milotic, but this feeling only lasted for a moment.

Adjusting one's mindset is an essential lesson for top trainers and Pokémon.

"Milanos, surf!"

When faced with a challenge, Milotic, a veteran of countless battles, naturally has its own methods for close-quarters combat.

"Fur—"

With a high-pitched roar from Milotic, the water in the pool beneath her suddenly began to boil and surge.

Immediately, several giant waves surged up one after another, like a well-trained army, crashing down on Xianbu, which was nearly twenty meters above the water!

Seeing this enormous wave, which was comparable to a real ocean wave, the spectators on the sidelines couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Even if Kyogre himself came that day, this kind of formation wouldn't be much stronger, right?

…………

That's obviously a joke.

But this massive wave, surging in like a mountain range, brought immense, suffocating pressure, leaving Xianbu, who was extremely close, with almost nowhere to hide.

Xia Chen and Xianbu really didn't intend to hide.

"Leaf Storm!"

A brilliant deep green light shone, and the deep green gem on Xianbu's forehead confirmed people's previous conjectures about how Mega Evolution changes traits.

Is Xia Chen trying to change Sylveon's type to Grass to block this wave?

Many viewers had this question.

Undoubtedly, this maneuver works perfectly in regular Pokémon battles, but this is a special, high-stakes battle with unique rules. If it cannot be perfectly avoided, points will still be deducted.

Tenacious gazes met as a massive wave engulfed Xianbu's body.

Hit!

Mikoli was overjoyed, but the next moment, his smile vanished in astonishment.

On the scoreboard, Senbu's points were not deducted; instead, Milotic's points were deducted!

What happened? Didn't the surfer hit the target?

He suddenly looked up at the sky above the water field.

But the waves that had been like tigers descending a mountain lost their fierce and violent posture. Instead, they now resembled a tamed big cat, swirling around a certain sphere.

The unknown object that had dispelled the uncertainty of surfing spun faster and faster, soon revealing its true form—

A large cluster of sharp, glowing green leaves formed a spherical shield that tightly enveloped Sylveon, protecting it from all damage from Milotic's surf.

After the water crashed weakly into the pool, the spherical shield disintegrated and transformed into a sharp longsword that flew towards Milotic!

Leaf Storm - Revolving Shield!

Chapter 342 The nationwide discussion sparked by super evolution

The essence of any technique is the control and application of energy, even for natural attribute techniques like water, fire, and grass.

Just like the Leaf Storm unleashed by Mega Sylveon, it is composed of pure Grass-type energy, rather than being formed from actual leaves in nature.

Therefore, the form in which it is represented is the direction in which the elves can make a lot of money.

However, this does not mean that changing the form of a move is a matter of course; it requires the Pokémon to have extremely strong control over its own energy.

The greater the power of a move, the more abundant the energy it contains, and the more difficult it is to control.

How difficult is it to precisely control a leaf storm?

As a Grass-type ultimate move with power comparable to a meteor shower, its difficulty is naturally extremely high.

The raging leaf storm first surrounds itself as a shield to resist the surf, and then attacks in the form of a sword.

This scene is tantamount to... controlling all the scattered meteors to precisely strike a single, constantly dodging elf.

The scariest thing is that Sylveon is a Pokémon that has absolutely no connection to the Grass type!

The scene, resembling a sci-fi spectacle enhanced with special effects, left the audience somewhat mesmerized.

Applause only began to erupt when the "Flying Leaf Sword" precisely sliced ​​through Milotic's body, leaving behind numerous luminous green grass-type energy erosion marks.

Meanwhile, Milos's score plummeted, dropping from 130 to just 50 in just a few seconds!

The first half of the Leaf Storm's ability to resist Surf, and the second half, which transformed into a sword to attack Milotic, each contributed half of the damage.

Mikoli looked at Xia Chen's high score of 160 and shook her head with a slight smile.

I thought I'd mastered this dazzling battle, but compared to the creator of these rules, I'm still far behind...

Under these circumstances, winning this match shouldn't be too difficult.

Let Milotic launch a full-scale attack, starting from another rule—incapacitating the opponent.

But this completely defeats the purpose of the spectacular battle exhibition match, since the most important goal of this match is to showcase super evolution and promote the spectacular battle format.

So, Mikkuri directed Milotic to attack, and Mikkuri typed GG two minutes later.

…………

Finally, amidst thunderous cheers and applause from the audience, the game time on the big screen stopped at three minutes and forty-nine seconds, with a score of 90:0.

With an unspoken understanding between them to give way a little, Xia Chen was very considerate and didn't score in the triple digits.

Thus concludes the grand appetizer of the celebration: the spectacular showdown between Mikoli and Xia Chen.

For many viewers, the main feature of the lavish celebration had come to an end.

Mega Sylveon's performance did not disappoint those who had high expectations for Mega Evolution; in fact, it exceeded them.

Naturally, after the competition, a storm of heated discussion about super evolution swept the world with unprecedented force!

"Appearance, attributes, abilities, characteristics... most of the important elements that make up a Pokémon change after Mega Evolution. After watching this match, I'm certain of one thing: Mega Evolution is definitely something that can change the current battle landscape!"

"Although I just finished watching the competition, I still want to ask, when will more information be leaked? I want to know if my Pokémon can also Mega Evolve!"

"Insider information: there aren't many Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution, but there are still quite a few. However, the conditions are very stringent. That's all I'll say; those who know, know..."

"Putting everything else aside, Mega Sylveon is confirmed! I'm so happy! I hope to see Sylveon Mega Evolve soon!"

"Uh... if you've seen the video, you should know that Master Pigeon's Mega Evolution of Sylveon was most likely an accident, so I suggest you don't have too high expectations for it."

"This is definitely a major change, but I don't know when it will truly be available to ordinary trainers like us."

Xia Chen was unaware of the heated discussions online.

After the competition, he was pulled to the judges' panel and served as a judge for the preliminary round along with Miko Lima and the others.

Although Xia Chen is a bit younger than most of the contestants on stage, no one questions whether he is qualified.

In fact, given his title as the "Father of the Grand Contest," he would have been a judge long ago if he hadn't participated in the previous contest.

…………

Due to the expanded scale of the competition, this grand celebration attracted a large number of participants, with the preliminary rounds alone lasting four days.

Xia Chen glanced at the list of contestants and found that almost all the contestants from the previous year had participated, and it seemed that they were somewhat dissatisfied.

Serena played on the second day of the competition, while Hikaru, with whom he had a slight connection, played on the last day.

The first day of the competition did have some familiar faces, including Rukia and Ruby.

After watching Ryukia's performance, Xia Chen felt a sense of relief that he had debuted a year earlier. If he had participated this year, he would probably have been completely overshadowed by Ryukia.

However, Rukia's amazing performance failed to grab the headlines of today's major news outlets. Without exception, all the media and social media outlets focused on the super evolution that appeared in the exhibition match.

It is foreseeable that this situation will continue for several more days.

Xia Chen wasn't in a hurry to announce the list of Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution. Since the lab hadn't even produced a single Mega Stone, there was no point in saying anything. He might as well let things play out a bit longer.

The buzz and discussion continued for several days, and finally, as the grand celebration entered the semi-finals, the experiment achieved a substantial breakthrough—the first artificially cultivated super stone appeared.

"To be precise, this is one of the stones that you dug up back then, which had not yet been fully transformed."

In the lab, Daigo explained, "I brought our company's life energy technology here and invented an energy activation device that greatly shortens the conversion time of Mega Stones... By the way, can you tell which Pokémon's Mega Stone this is?"

He handed over a super stone with a pure white background and red and blue double-layered patterns, and asked.

Having sorted through information from his past life, Xia Chen immediately identified it: "A Flying Dragon."

As expected, it's another Mega Stone belonging to a Hoenn native flying Pokémon.

Daigo said with some regret, "What a pity, I thought it was Aggron..."

Xia Chen was speechless. "What red or blue elements does Bosscodora have? And wasn't the experiment going smoothly?"
