Pokémon: Trainers Start as Bounty Hunters.

Zheng Hui curiously leaned close to Dianlong, making notes.

Although the latter was somewhat unaccustomed to it, it didn't react in any particularly stressful way since it knew Zheng Hui.

Once the shape data has been recorded to a sufficient extent...

Tetsuya then began testing Mega Ampharos's strength.

"First, use an impact on that wall."

"boom--"

A huge crater was created at Tetsuya's command.

Electric Dragon looked utterly delighted.

Although their forte is energy attacks, the stationary turret mage also has a melee heart.

It thoroughly enjoys the feeling of punching its opponent to the ground.

It's just that there aren't many opportunities like this usually.

It's usually the one that gets beaten up.

Tetsuya shook his head with a helpless smile.

As a trainer, he certainly knew why Ampharos was so happy.

It can only be said that sometimes, there is a big difference between hobbies and strengths.

"The impact force increased by about 60%."

Aside from the boost from leveling up, the physical attack power increase after Mega Evolution should be around 20%, almost identical to the stats of a regular Mega Ampharos.

No analysis is required from Zero.

Zheng Hui, who was standing nearby, quickly calculated the specific data.

This is one of his specialties.

"Twenty percent? Not bad." Tetsuya nodded slightly. "Then, next up is the energy attack test."

Zheng Hui pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses: "The improvement of an ordinary electric dragon is about one-third, but your electric dragon's electric energy is quite special. I estimate it should be 50%."

Although it was just a guess, his tone was very certain.

Tetsuya nodded: "Speaking of which, I remember you weren't nearsighted, were you? Why are you wearing glasses?"

"That's why he looks more like a researcher."

Zhenghui said that this thing is just a decoration.

"Sizzle sizzle"

The scattered electric currents seemed to have a life of their own, freely radiating their power around them.

The overwhelming power of the fluctuations attracted many trainers to the arena to observe.

If they hadn't seen Tetsuya, they would have thought some fool had attacked the Cerulean Gym again.

"That's the Shiny Ampharos that appeared at the Silver Conference, right? It's said that its lightning is closely related to the legendary Zapdos."

"Yes, yes, I saw in other people's analysis posts that that electric dragon has a very strong electric-type talent, and its power is much higher than that of its kind."

"After all, he's a genius from our Kanto region. Isn't it only natural that he's strong?"

The crowd whispered among themselves, their voices tinged with envy.

A year ago, Mega Evolution was news known only to a select few.

However, today, most trainers who meet the required skill level have heard a lot about this.

This is especially true for gym trainers.

They have quite a few sources of information.

Therefore, not many people have raised any questions about Mega Electro Dragon.

The main reason is that this little guy hasn't changed much, so he's easy to recognize.

But regardless, the huge power boost brought by Mega Evolution is something many people yearn for.

Tetsuya and Masaki, who were in the room, naturally heard the whispers of the people around them.

"Seriously, there's absolutely no privacy left."

The former shrugged.

Zheng Hui said this is normal: "There's no way around it. As long as a Pokémon has appeared in some tournaments, there will inevitably be relevant data analysis. It's very difficult to hide its strength."

Besides, given your rate of progress, those data analyses are already outdated and serve virtually no purpose.

"Too."

Tetsuya smiled.

If anyone still thinks that he is not much different now than he was during the Silver Conference, then...

That would be a huge mistake.

Those who have the deepest understanding are probably the Rockets guys.

"Alright, calculation complete."

Once the current dissipated, Zheng Hui quickly determined Mega Ampharos's current energy attack capabilities.

"If we quantify it, the power has increased by almost double, which is quite exaggerated."

Moreover, due to the special nature of its electric energy, it will be superior in other aspects, such as control.

"You're really lucky, kid."

He said so.

Tetsuya couldn't be bothered to argue with this envious guy: "Double, that's a significant improvement indeed."

However, in this case, the defense is estimated to be similar to that of a normal electric dragon, with an increase of 20% to 30%.

The speed has decreased slightly, but the impact is minimal.

Even with his extraordinary talent for electric dragons, it's still impossible for him to break the rules of the Pokémon world.

The idea that Mega Evolution would allow it to dominate everything is just a fantasy.

Zheng Hui agreed: "Yes, we need to use more advanced instruments for analysis in a more detailed way. I haven't prepared since I just arrived here. You should still go to the Oki Research Institute when you have time."

Zhe did not comment.

The Ampharos standing to the side paid no attention to the analysis from its own trainer and outsiders.

They simply enjoy releasing the restless energy within them.

The excessively powerful electric current did not fly out of the area under the restraint, but it still made the onlookers feel their bodies tingling.

Tiny electric arcs appeared all over their bodies.

"Click click click click click"

The sound of teeth chattering was incessant.

Tetsuya noticed this amusing situation: "Everyone, if you want to watch, you'd better go to the audience seats, where there are insulating materials."

Amidst the flashes of purple light.

The trainers then found that they had regained control of their bodies.

"No, no, we just came to take a look, we'll be leaving now."

Led by a middle-aged trainer, the trainers gave Tetsuya an awkward smile and then left the area.

They weren't clueless fools.

It's already quite kind of them to let me stand by and watch; if I don't leave after this incident, I'll just be losing face.

"Buwoo"

Without the observation of outsiders.

The electric dragon had even more fun.

The entire venue seemed to be bathed in lightning.

Despite Tetsuya's superpower protection, Masahiro was forced to retreat to the more peripheral exit area.

Fortunately.

This situation did not last long.

About twenty minutes later.

With a weary look in its eyes, the Ampharos exited its Mega Evolution state amidst a flash of white light.

"Buwoo~"

After letting out a weak cry.

It leaned against Tetsuya, seemingly exhausted.

"Let's see if you dare to do that again next time."

The latter lectured him impatiently, "Mega mode requires a very high level of control over your energy."

Electric Dragon grinned, "Isn't this too good to be true? I'll definitely be more careful next time."

That being said...

But Tetsuya hadn't stopped Denryu from doing that before.

Because Electric-type Pokémon differ from other Pokémon in this respect.

Well known.

More energy isn't necessarily better for Electric-type Pokémon.

For example, Pikachu often discharges electricity by rubbing the red circles on both sides of its cheeks.

Otherwise, storing too much electrical energy in the body will only weaken it, rather than make it stronger.

obviously.

Ampharos encountered a similar situation when it first Mega Evolved.

If this excess energy cannot be released, it may leave some minor aftereffects.

Tetsuya naturally couldn't stand idly by and watch this happen, so he let the electric dragon "go crazy" as it pleased.

"Then I'll take it to the Pokémon Center. See you later."

Return the Ampharos to its Poké Ball.

Before Zhenghui could even speak, Zhe vanished from his sight in a flash.

Just as the former was wondering.

Sakura patted Masahiro on the shoulder: "Um, let's pay the repair fee."

"Huh? What?"

Zhenghui tilted his head subconsciously.

Sakura revealed a fox-like smile and pointed to the messy training ground: "This is it, the repair money."

"what!"

Zheng Hui almost jumped up on the spot: "Isn't this Tetsuya's doing? Why are you looking for me?"

"Yeah, but he ran away, so we can only look for you~"

Sakura shrugged, indicating that she was also powerless to help.

"Tetsuya Tamaki, you bastard!"

"Ah"

"Could it be that Zheng Hui is cursing at me again?"

"Surely not, it's just the cost of repairs. Why would a young master care about that?"

Tetsuya, who had already arrived at the Pokémon Center in Cerulean City, rubbed his nose, took out his Ampharos's Poké Ball, and handed it to Nurse Joy: "Well then, thank you for your hard work, Nurse Joy."
