Elf: Release? Not possible.

So even though they knew that they had joined the Rockets, they did not punish them in the end. Instead, they were closely protected in the first few years after they left the Rockets.

Now, one of them became the head of a gym, and the other became the director of a small town welfare home, and they both lived ordinary lives.

After listening to what Professor Oak said, Xiaoxia and others realized that Professor Oak also knew these things, but he seemed to know more.

"I see!"

"But these are all things of the past. Xiaozhi, do you want to try this thing?" Professor Oak didn't seem to plan to say more.

After all, for him, this can be regarded as something that happened in the previous generation.

"Yeah!" Xiaozhi nodded slightly.

Xiaozhi also plans to try and see if this MEGA stone is useful.

According to Dr. Blatano, the target of this MEGA stone is Charizard, which is another evolutionary form of Charizard's MEGA evolution that he knows, referred to as the Y form.

The form that he created through his thoughts was the X form, and the MEGA stone given by Dr. Fuji was the evolution stone of Charizard's X form.

There is no situation in the game where a Pokémon can evolve into two forms at the same time. You can only choose one from XY unless you unlock something.

I just don't know if it's possible in reality. If Ash remembers correctly, it is possible because Mewtwo has done it before.

And it doesn't need a Mega Stone, it can do it by relying on its own strength, but Mewtwo's situation is special, as a legendary Pokémon, it's not surprising that it has this kind of power 0 ....

. . . .

Others were also very curious about what kind of special power this MEGA stone had.

Following Xiaozhi to the backyard, Xiaozhi summoned Charizard.

Because the accessories for wearing MEGA stones have not been made yet, Charizard can only hold it directly in his hand.

(I have to mention here that during the journey, Sirona's Garchomp was not wearing it, but when Mega evolved, the stone popped out. How did it happen?)

Xiaozhi also picked up the Evolution Keystone. According to the situation in the anime, at this time, it should be said...

"Evolution Keystone, answer my heart!!"

Xiaozhi picked up the Evolution Key Stone and spoke. Both the Evolution Key Stone and the MEGA Stone emitted a dazzling light.

Looking at the dazzling light in front of him, Xiaozhi also felt a special power. When everyone was looking forward to what would happen, suddenly...

boom! ! !

The light of the Evolution Key Stone and the Mega Stone dissipated at the same time, and neither Ash nor Charizard changed at all.

"Is this... a failure?" Xiaoxia asked a little confusedly as she watched this scene.

Xiaozhi frowned slightly as he looked at the Evolution Key in his hand. He clearly felt the power just now, but for some reason, it seemed that at the last step, the connected bond was separated by 1.5.

But just now I could clearly feel that when using the MEGA Stone and the Evolution Key Stone, I didn't have the same strong sensation as when I was evolving with Charizard.

When not using the MEGA Stone, Xiaozhi feels like he has turned into Charizard. Charizard's consciousness is his consciousness, what Charizard sees is what he sees, and what Charizard feels is what he feels.

At best, I just felt my strength increase, and for some unknown reason it quickly disappeared.

PS: Actually, in the journey, Mega Evolution and Bond Evolution do not conflict, Xiaozhi can do both, but because we have many objects to evolve, we can't bring Mega Stones to each one, and Charizard is special and will have Bond Evolution later, so this is the temporary setting here.

Chapter 1009 Evolution Failed (Subscription Request)

"Yeah!" No matter how to say it, it was a failure in the end, Xiaozhi nodded slightly.

"It doesn't make sense. You could have done it without the MEGA Stone. It doesn't make sense that you would fail now that you have the MEGA Stone. Is it because you could have done it without the MEGA Stone that you failed after using it?"

Professor Oak fell into deep thought as he watched this scene and thought of several possibilities.

The biggest possibility is that perhaps the power generated by Ash himself and Pokémon is stronger than the power of the MEGA Stone and the Evolution Key Stone.

Then naturally, the weaker party loses its effectiveness.

Just like the same type of special moves, for example, if Charizard learns to spray flames, then special moves like Sparks will naturally lose their meaning.

"Maybe!" Xiaozhi put away the Evolution Key Stone, and Charizard put down the MEGA Stone in his hand indifferently.

As a Pokémon, its sensing ability is even stronger, and the power it just felt is not stronger than before.

Since it is not a stronger force, then naturally it has no attachment at all.

Xiaozhi didn't think much about it. He was just trying it out according to Dr. Blatano's instructions. Now it seems that the MEGA stone given by Mr. Fuji will not work.

There is not too much loss. It's like playing a game. When you learn a more powerful skill, you have to choose to forget a skill. But if the new skill is more powerful, you naturally won't miss the previous skill.

But in this case, the two sets of evolution stones are basically of no use.

"Doctor, I want to contact Dr. Blatano!" Xiaozhi asked after putting his things away.

"Of course no problem, you can use the institute's phone as you like, I also need to go check out the GS ball." Dr. Oak nodded slightly.

Ash also went to the research institute to make a phone call. Misty and the other two did not follow him and stayed outside playing with the Pokémon. Ash contacted Dr. Blatano.

"Is that so? Did it fail?"

After contacting Dr. Blatano, Xiaozhi explained the situation. Dr. Blatano did not look disappointed. Instead, he pinched his chin and thought with interest.

"What do you think, Doctor?" Xiaozhi asked after listening.

"This? I don't have a very accurate idea yet. Maybe it's just like what Professor Oak said."

"Logically speaking, if you can do it without relying on Evolution Stones, then the bond between you and your Pokémon should have already reached the requirements of Evolution Stones."

"Perhaps it is because you are more powerful that the Evolution Stone no longer works!"

But even Dr. Bratano couldn't analyze anything in this situation, after all, he had never seen such a situation before.

Able to start the evolution stone, but ultimately failed to evolve.

In the past, there were only two possible results: one was that the evolution was successful, and the other was that the evolution stone and the evolution key stone had no connection at all and the evolution failed.

This is because the bond is not strong enough, so the MEGA Stone and Evolution Key Stone cannot be activated.

As for Xiaozhi's situation, it was the third situation that he had never encountered before.

"I will do some more research and try to find some information. If I find anything, I'll contact you!"

Dr. Bratano, who had no useful information for the time being, said that he also needed time to study, and Xiaozhi nodded slightly.

"Okay, I understand! Then this MEGA stone..."

Xiaozhi took the box and thought about sending it back as it was useless.

"This! Although it is useless to you, it may be useful in the future. We cannot draw a conclusion yet. Maybe we need some opportunity. You should keep it for now!"

Listening to what Xiaozhi said, Dr. Blatano interrupted Xiaozhi and said that he had originally intended to give this set of evolution stones to Xiaozhi.

Even if it was useless, there was no point in taking it back. Besides, there was not much use for him to keep the evolution stone.

I'll keep it with Xiaozhi, hoping that it will be useful in the future, so that we can make further progress.

"Okay!" Xiaozhi didn't say anything more after seeing this. Since Dr. Blatano said so, he naturally didn't need to be polite.

"That's all for now. I'll contact you if there's any news!"

"Okay. See you, Doctor!"

He responded and ended the call. When Xiaozhi walked out with the box, he found that it was already late outside.

After saying goodbye to Misty and the others, he said goodbye to Professor Oak and left the institute. Except for Pikachu and Jigglypuff, all the other Pokémon also stayed in the institute.

The four of them returned home, where Hanako and the Suction Cup Doll had already prepared a table full of delicious food to celebrate Satoshi's winning of the Winner's Cup.

Amidst laughter and joy, Xiaozhi spent a relaxing day at home.

In the next few days, Xiaozhi would go to the research institute every day and occasionally meet Xiaomao.

In addition to visiting the Pokémon, 787 also asked about the research projects of the GS Ball. In this way, he rested in Pallet Town for two days.

It seems like Xiaogang is fine now, the only problem is that he is still the same when it comes to Professor Uchiki.

It looked like he wasn't going to recover, so everyone could only try not to mention Dr. Uchiki's name in front of him.

On this day, several people came to Dr. Oak's laboratory again.

"Huh? Xiaomao didn't come today?" When I arrived at the research institute, I found that Xiaomao, who used to come almost every day, didn't come today.

"Oh? He didn't tell you! Xiao Mao has already set off." Professor Oak responded after hearing the voice.

It was a bit unexpected, but when I thought about it carefully, the personality of my grandson was not surprising.

"Departing? Did Xiao Mao go anywhere?"

"Xiao Mao! He has already set off for the Johto region. I heard that the Johto Alliance in the Johto region is going to hold a Silver Conference soon. Xiao Mao has already set off on his journey to participate in the Silver Conference!"

"Silver Conference?" Xiaoxia and others seemed to be on vacation these days and had no idea of ​​the situation at all.

Xiaozhi had actually learned about it a long time ago, and indeed the registration for the Silver Tournament had already begun, but he was not in a hurry to set off.

Chapter 1010: Professor Oak's Request (Subscription Request)

"That's right! That's the league competition held by the Johto League west of our Kanto region."

"Just like the Quartz Tournament, the requirement to participate in the Silver Tournament is to obtain a gym badge certified by the eight alliances in the Johto Alliance! Then you will be eligible to participate!"

Professor Oak explained about the Silver Tournament. In fact, the tournaments in each region are similar, and the Johto region and the Kanto region are geographically too close.

The two regions are almost always the first to know about any major developments, and the league conferences between the two regions have the largest number of contestants from each other's regions.

Because the two regions even share an alliance facility, the only difference is that the Kanto Alliance goes to the Quartz Plateau, while the Johto Alliance goes to the Silver Mountains.

One facility for two leagues, the Kanto region uses the Quartz Stadium, while the Johto region uses the Silver Stadium.

"So Xiaomao has already set off?" After hearing Professor Oak's explanation, Xiaoxia also spoke at the same time.

"That's right! Xiaozhi, what are your plans?"

"Me? Of course I plan to go too! The purpose of joining the Orange League is to train before the Johto League." Xiaozhi responded after hearing the voice.

Hearing what Xiaozhi said, Xiaoxia, Xiaojian, and Xiaogang were not surprised. They heard that there was a big competition, and Xiaozhi would not be Xiaozhi if he didn't go.

"Haha! I knew you would say that. Since you are going, I have something to ask of you."

Professor Oak listened to what Xiaozhi said with an expression of "as expected". He then turned and left. After a while, he came back to the group.

He took something out from the pocket of his white coat. It was the GS ball he had taken from Dr. Uchiki.

"Isn't this a GS ball?" Looking at the GS ball in Professor Oak's hand, Xiaoxia asked in confusion.

"That's right! Because I haven't been able to figure it out during this period of time, I would like you to take it to the Johto region and hand it over to a man called Steel."

Professor Oak explained his request and Xiaozhi was not surprised. From the moment he got the GS Ball, he knew that Professor Oak could not research anything.

“Steel??”

"Yes, it's Mr. Steel!" Professor Oak said, turned to the computer, pressed the keyboard, and soon an old man with an expressionless face appeared on the computer screen.

"This Mr. Steel is my good friend. He is also a famous Poké Ball craftsman. I think with his knowledge of Poké Balls, he should be better at studying this GS Ball than me!"

"Xiao Mao left in a hurry, so I can only ask you for help."

"I've already talked to Mr. Steel. Since we can't teleport, I'll have to leave it to you, Xiaozhi!"

Professor Oak spoke to Satoshi while holding the Poké Ball. He really was at his wit's end. As a Pokémon professor, he wouldn't have asked others for help if he really had no other options.

"Is this Mr. Steel very powerful?" Xiaoxia and others couldn't help but ask.

Xiaoxia and others are a little curious about the person who even Professor Oak can't do anything about.

"Of course, Mr. Steel is a famous Poké Ball craftsman in the area. As technology becomes more and more advanced."

"People are already used to using technological assembly lines to produce Poké Balls."

"But Mr. Steel is one of the few Poké Ball masters who still retains the ancient method of hand-making Poké Balls. I think with his attainments in Poké Balls, he should be able to help!"

Professor Oak admires Mr. Steel very much. After all, in this technologically advanced age, there are few people who can maintain traditions.

"I see!"

"By the way, Mr. Steel happens to be in Hinoki Town in the Johto region. There happens to be a Hinoki Gym in Hinoki Town. Xiaozhi, you can go and challenge him and deliver the GS Ball on the way. Is that ok?"

Of course Professor Oak had thought it through. After all, Satoshi was going to challenge the league, and luckily there was a gym where Steel was.
