Why is my Pokémon acting a little weird?

Although there was a high-definition video of Rotom's match, from the audience's perspective, it was not an official match recognized by the league. It was more like a casual competition among friends, which was still a little unsatisfying.

"I didn't expect... that someone could actually pull out the key stone."

As far as Qiao Ran knew, among the people he knew, only Nancy and Zhulan had key stones. Xiaogang might also have one. As for Lila... she didn't say anything about this, so it was better to just assume that she didn't have one.

Normally, this world shouldn't have discovered Mage Evolution. Logically, the gym leader of this world wouldn't be able to pull out something like this at this time, but now...

——No, perhaps it was the arrival of him and Nancy that changed everything. Ever since they announced the existence of mage evolution, Pokémon trainers around the world have been desperately searching for and exploring the secret of this evolution. Now that several months have passed, maybe someone really has found something.

——Just like the one in front of Qiao Ran.

"Yes, this is the Evolution Keystone."

Chen Leizhong grasped the keystone in his hand and held it in front of him. The golden light from the electric current reflected on his face, illuminating his entire body with incredible clarity and brightness.

"This was given to me by a collector in Yangcheng. It also comes with a mega stone that corresponds to my electric dragon."

“Den——!!!”

As if responding to Chen Leizhong, the electric dragon also raised its head and made a shrill cry. There was actually a small bead tied to its tail. However,

No one noticed during the battle.

"From today on, the Yangcheng Gym will be the only two gyms in China that have mega evolutions!"

Chen Leizhong raised the stone in his hand high, and colorful light and energy surged out of his body, almost the same effect as Qiao Ran produced before. Those forces gradually gathered and condensed into the body of the electric dragon, wrapping the electric dragon in dazzling light.

The light of the electric current, plus the light of mega evolution, after the two phases were accumulated, the body of the electric dragon seemed like a small sun, so dazzling that people could not open their eyes. And in that light - its body also began to undergo drastic changes.

Hair that had originally faded after evolution grew from its head and tail. The white color was like clouds in the sky. In addition, there were many red spheres between the hairs for storing energy. When it condensed electrical energy, it would emit dazzling light like a lighthouse.

At the same time, the dragon blood dormant in the electric dragon's body was also awakened. Its body became more upright, and its hands and feet became more powerful. Its original electric attribute was now given additional dragon attributes. At this time, it might be a true electric dragon.

"Den——!!!!!!"

The electric dragon standing on the field roared again, but this time it was obviously more confident than before. Just like other dragon-attribute Pokémon, there was an inexplicable sense of pressure in its roar, like the beating of a war drum, which made people's heart beat faster and their blood surge.

"It really has mega evolved..."

This was the first time Qiao Ran saw a mega-evolved Dragonite. Every Pokémon that could mega-evolve must have considerable strength and a good understanding with its trainer. These two points alone were enough to eliminate most trainers and Pokémon in the Pokémon world.

And I have to say, compared to its previous appearance, the electric dragon now looks much better. Maybe it's because it has grown hair?

"Electric Dragon! Electric Dragon! Electric Dragon!!!"

The audience outside the venue was also boiling with excitement. Compared to the first time they saw Latias, they obviously had a deeper affection for Dragonite. Not to mention that many trainers had originally trained at the Yangcheng Gym. Their teams might have trained Mare and Goat. Now they saw the latest evolution of Dragonite. How could they not be excited?

Moreover, just looking at the appearance, this is enough to make them quite satisfied.

"Mega evolution, this ability I've been training for a long time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, but luckily we didn't fail this time."

Chen Leizhong looked at his partner on the field and couldn't help but smile.

"As expected, you still need a good opponent. If you don't have a suitable opponent, you won't be able to muster any motivation, right?"

He understood the Electric Dragon and knew that his personality was similar to his own. Without the appropriate pressure, he would not be able to enter that extremely serious state. However, this time, their opponent was indeed qualified.

"Show the other side what you are capable of now!"

Chen Leizhong pointed his finger, and the electric dragon stomped its feet hard. The ball of light hidden in its hair flashed desperately, and a terrifying blue-purple light was gradually brewing in its mouth.

After mega evolution, Dragonite's abilities were further enhanced. Its already impressive special attack increased to a terrifying 165 points, which is higher than Diancie's double attack after mega evolution. However, due to the growth of more hair on its body, its speed also decreased slightly, leaving only a pitiful 45 points. Compared with Caterpillar, this speed is exactly the same.

"...Dragon Wave!"

The terrifying beam of light has taken shape, and the electric dragon released it in an instant. The dragon wave released by the electric dragon is extremely fast, and it has found its own balance between power and release speed.

In this field, it knows how powerful the skills are that will not affect the buildings, and controls the damage within a certain range. This alone is enough to pose a fatal threat to the opponent.

Chapter 671 [Driving Thunder and Lightning]

An unprecedented sense of oppression came from the electric dragon. When the dragon's power spurted out from its mouth, it directly attracted the lightning and thunder that spread around it, and rolled up a golden storm. Qiao Ran knew without even looking that if he was hit by this shot, no... as long as he was slightly touched by it like before, he would probably be stuck by the paralyzing effect like before.

Furthermore, Qiao Ran himself wasn't entirely sure if paralysis effects actually had different levels in the real world, like stronger currents causing stronger paralysis. While this didn't exist in the game, he had long since learned not to use game common sense to infer reality.

In short——this time I have to dodge.

"Latias! Fly!!!"

After Mega Evolution, Latias is obviously not an easy person to deal with. She puts her hands horizontally on both sides of her body, and like an airplane, she spins her body in the air and flies quickly.

The speed stats didn't improve, but other aspects, such as agility in the air, improved significantly.

If it were an ordinary Flying-type Pokémon, after forcibly accelerating to a certain level, it would find it difficult to turn or reversal. This is true even for Yi Ruoyun, the king of flying. However, after the Mage evolution, Latias directly overcame this limitation. The wing-like part extending from her wrist can help her perform any fancy moves in the air, and there is no problem even making small turns at extreme speed.

Although his speed has not increased, on another level, Latias has indeed become more "agile".

Through his own maneuverability, Latias twisted and turned in the air and managed to avoid the dragon's wave. Seeing that his first attack missed, Chen Leizhong planned to continue attacking.

"Electric Dragon! Thunder!"

"Latias! We also use Dragon Wave!!"

After mega evolution, the Electric Dragon has more dragon attributes than before, which is also a point that Qiao Ran can take advantage of. If the previous Electric Dragon Latias did not restrain the opponent's skills, the current Electric Dragon has an additional weakness that is doubly restrained by Latias.

In the civil war among the dragon clan, both sides are each other's nemesis.

A blue light spurted out of Latias's mouth, while on the Electric Dragon's side, black clouds gathered in the room. Rumbling lightning was brewing in the air, complementing the lightning on the ground. Both the sky and the ground were completely dominated by the electric current.

"This is really..."

The brewing thunder hadn't struck yet, but just the sight of the end of the world had already made Qiao Ran feel a palpitation in his heart. It wasn't that he was afraid that Latias would be defeated, but... as a human being, deep down in his heart, he still had a natural awe of thunder and lightning.

"..."

The same was true for the audience outside the venue, staring blankly at the scene in the venue. Among all the hall owners, Chen Leizhong's strength may not be the strongest, but his scenes have always been the most spectacular and grand one, which can bring people an extremely shocking feeling every time.

Perhaps this is also the reason why his gym was placed in a "tourist attraction".

"boom!!!!"

Latias's Dragon Wave hit the body of the Zapdos directly. The Zapdos, like before, had no intention of dodging at all. After all, Chen Leizhong himself knew that with the movement speed of Mega Zapdos 45, it was meaningless for him to move on his own initiative. It would be better to spend more time thinking about how to defend himself.

A dense electric net took shape in front of it. Facing the surging wave torrent, although it reduced some of the damage, it still showed a hint of discomfort when the remaining attacks hit it.

"...As expected...after mega evolution, the attribute advantage disappears?"

Chen Leizhong also saw this, but at this moment he did not regret his decision. After all, both he and Dragonite were looking forward to a battle between mega Pokémon. It had nothing to do with anything else, they just wanted to have a good fight.

"But...we're coming too! Dragon Wave!!"

Enduring the physical pain, the electric dragon raised its long neck and sprayed blue beams of light into the sky.

"Latias!"

Qiao Ran wanted Latias to dodge like before, but before Latias could fly far, Qiao Ran discovered that thunder clouds were brewing near Latias's movement range.

The electric dragon's thunder had not been released before, it was waiting for this moment!

"rush out!"

Qiao Ran gritted his teeth and made a decision. Instead of waiting here timidly to be hit by the dragon's wave, it would be better to go directly through the minefield created by the electric dragon. Even if he was hit, he could be blocked by double resistance.

As for abilities like teleportation, Latias is not a Pokémon like Alakazam that relies on teleportation for its survival. This ability is fine for normal use, but if used in a battle of this level, it is very likely to disrupt the rhythm of the battle due to failure to dodge in time.

In the Pokémon game, the only common Pokémon that can master the skill of teleportation are Alakazam, Gardevoir, Arachnid, Psychic Chibi, and Otoko. The remaining legendary Pokémon are only Deoxys and Cosmog.

In reality, this doesn't mean that other users of superpowers can't teleport. It's just that other people's teleportation is slightly inferior to those Pokémon that have mastered teleportation, and is far from being able to be considered a "skill."

Take the skill "Collision" for example. What's the difference between this skill and simply charging in? If you really want to compare, using the skill will definitely make the collision more powerful than simply charging in.

Her sight returned to the battlefield. Facing the rumbling thunder in front of her, Latias could only shrink her body and try to speed up to rush out. Behind her, a blue light broke through the black thunderclouds, impacted the gray ceiling, and then gradually disappeared. Under the control of the electric dragon, its skills were always well controlled.

"Latias! Danger!"

As for Latias,

Although she tried her best to fly, she was still unable to resist the trap set by the electric dragon. A golden lightning fell from the sky and directly penetrated Latias' body, wrapping her whole body in golden light. Then, the lightning continued to bombard the ground without slowing down, like a golden nail inserted between heaven and earth, piercing Latias completely.

"—!!"

Latias' body trembled and he almost fell from the air. Although he had double resistance to electric skills, he still felt uncomfortable taking on the special attack of 165 and the thunder of the electric dragon standing on the electric field.

Latias and Raichu fought back and forth, both trying their best to cause more damage to each other. As trainers, Qiao Ran and Chen Leizhong were also highly nervous. In order to maintain the state of mega evolution, trainers must maintain high-intensity mental concentration, otherwise, there is absolutely no way to maintain this state.

Although in the game, mega evolution can easily last for an entire game, in reality, there are many factors that may cause premature exit from the mega state.

If you don't take it seriously, there is absolutely no way to defeat your opponent in the mega evolution civil war.

"Ha...ha...I didn't expect this state to be so exhausting..."

As the battle went on for a while, Chen Leizhong on the opposite side also began to breathe lightly. Qiao Ran could also see that he was trying his best to maintain this state. Judging from his previous words, the opponent was not necessarily inferior to himself in physical strength and spirit. Maybe he just had not been exposed to mega evolution for long enough, so he was not very familiar with this state.

Compared to Qiao Ran, who has been familiar with mega evolution from the beginning and has a deep relationship with Pokémon, Chen Leizhong is just a novice in mega evolution.

However, relying on his qualifications and experience as a gym owner, he can still maintain his combat effectiveness and is doing his best to maintain it.

"It seems... our Pokémon are really similar."

The battle went on for a long time, and Chen Leizhong felt more and more that Latias was simply an extremely tanky meat shield, and its attack power was not bad either, and it was even much better than ordinary Pokémon. These characteristics were almost identical to his Dragonite.

The two tanky and high-damage Pokémon fought each other, and in the end, neither could kill the other directly, and it ended up becoming an extremely long tug-of-war. At least, from Chen Leizhong's point of view, that was indeed the case.

"Electric Dragon! Sleep!"

After consuming most of his physical strength, Chen Leizhong decisively let his electric dragon use the sleep function that could restore all his physical strength. However, due to the effect of the electric field that prevented the electric dragon from entering a sleeping state, the electric dragon woke up almost as soon as its head lowered.

Qiao Ran didn't know whether this operation could be completed in the game, but in reality, when this happened in front of him, he did feel that the electric dragon on the opposite side was much more energetic. He just didn't know how much physical strength the opponent could recover in this process.

"Latias! Yusu!"

Since the opponent was recovering his health, Qiao Ran naturally would not fall behind. He decisively let Latias fall from the sky to the ground during this time, and then recovered a lot of health.

In the game, Featherfall can restore about half of a Pokémon's health, but as a price, Flying-type Pokémon will lose the advantage of flying and become "ground-type Pokémon", which means they can be attacked by ground-type Pokémon.

In reality, the time he would stay on the ground was actually only the time when Yu Qi was active. However, now the opponent was obviously resting and recovering his health, so Qiao Ran certainly didn't need to care about these things.

As Qiao Ran and the gym owner began to reduce their health together, Meiyi and the others in the audience were stunned. This battle was fierce, but the problem was, you guys are too good at fighting, right?

"Is there still such an operation?"

“…It feels like we can fight until night.”

"Hahaha."

Miyue laughed dryly, her eyes almost turned into dead fish eyes. If you guys keep fighting like this, will there be time for me to play later?

If you want to fight, go to the training room.

However, the trainers on both sides did not expect this situation to happen. One side had the advantage in speed, but was always wavering between paralysis and non-paralysis, while the other side had the advantage in attack, but was always a little bit behind in speed, and was often hit by the opponent's double restrained attacks.

Dragonite struggled to hit Latias, who had the advantage of flying in the air, especially with Latias's enhanced Spin ability, which allowed her to even spiral upwards to dodge. Latias, on the other hand, struggled to find a way to end the fight. Latias, a Pokémon that favored defense and supporting allies, had already taken a significant amount of damage in this battle.

"But, Qiao Ran's side should still win."

Listening to the discussion between Mitsuki, Mei and others, Takeran couldn't help but smile. Both sides were unwilling to lose, so both sides would think of ways to continue the battle. However, once it continued, the outcome would be doomed.

"That gym leader's Pokémon is indeed stronger than the current one.

He is stronger than Latias, but compared to Qiao Ran and Latias's connection, he is still too unskilled."

"Mega Evolution doesn't rely solely on the Pokémon's evolution; it relies half on the Pokémon and half on the Trainer. The Trainer's will and intentions also become the force that makes the Pokémon stronger. This bond can be cultivated through repeated entry into Mega State."

Zhulan gave her own observations and analysis, and sure enough - the outcome of this battle was continuing to develop in the direction she predicted.

Although Dragonite was still in good condition, Chen Leizhong, the trainer, was obviously not in the right condition. He used to talk to express himself, but from a certain point in time, he suddenly had nothing to say and just shut his mouth.

Finally - when Chen Leizhong was suffering from the damage of the Latias dragon's wave, he simply couldn't hold on, and his body swayed and he half-knelt down.

At the same time, a burst of light emanated from the electric dragon's body. Its body shrank slightly, and the hair on its body began to disappear. Even its original momentum seemed to dissipate all of a sudden, and its upright body suddenly collapsed.

"ended."

Zhulan shook her head.

"...When a Pokémon exits Mega State, its fighting spirit dissipates. Even if it wants to re-enter Mega State at this point, it will be impossible."

"This competition isn't so much a competition between Pokémon as it is a competition between trainers. Only the trainers who can persevere can win the final battle."

"However, Qiao Ran's victory was actually due to his greater proficiency... If it were one of the many trainers in the Pokémon world who are more proficient in Mega Evolution, he certainly wouldn't have been able to win so easily."

Zhulan's eyes fell on Qiao Ran, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

"After we get back, we'll have to have him continue his special training. This game was too slow."
