Live treasure appraisal: You are such an elf!

Chapter 533 Gardevoir's Mega Evolution! Unwavering Love and Protection? The Great Power to Liberate the Mind!
"Woo?"

A Zoroark appeared after a flash of light.

It squinted, its face flushed, let out a burp, and seemed a little unsteady on its feet.

He was holding a specially made bamboo tube containing fermented fruit juice that Ye Yinchuan had carefully brewed using various tree fruits.

The flavor was spicy with a hint of sweetness, and had a strong aftertaste.

"Little drunkard, it's your turn to shine."

Ye Yinchuan smiled and handed over another perfectly ripe orange, its rich aroma carrying the scent of alcoholic fermentation.

"Woo~!"

The little drunkard's eyes lit up instantly!

It took the orange, popped it into its mouth, and then tilted its head back to drink the juice in the bamboo tube in one gulp!

Gumbling.

After finishing its drink, it shook its head contentedly, its eyes becoming even more glazed, and two suspicious blushes appeared on its cheeks.

But at this moment, the aura emanating from it became strange and powerful!
An illusory energy, almost solidified, silently spread out from its center!
[The first time I've ever seen a Pokémon that's completely drunk...]

[That's a Mythical Pokémon, Zoroark! Such a rare and powerful Pokémon, and the streamer has two!]

[That's right, this Zoroark from the streamer is quite something; I've heard that the more drunk it is, the stronger its hallucinations become!]

Ye Yinchuan smiled as he read the comments about the little drunkard in the live chat.
"Little drunkard, give them a little... small shock."

"Ugh——!"

The young drunkard understood Ye Yinchuan's meaning, and his eyes became serious.

A vortex swirled within his scarlet eyes!
In an instant!
The world changed in the eyes of the woman in the white dress and the shiny Gardevoir!
The once bright and dazzling cave was instantly swallowed up by boundless darkness!

"Boom——!!!"

Above the sky, a gigantic mushroom cloud, so large it blotted out the sun, exploded with a deafening roar!

That was... the apocalyptic scene that appeared in Ye Yinchuan's live stream not long ago!
The scene of Dark Max Corviknight self-destructing!

A violent, destructive Dynamax energy, mixed with Yveltal's finishing power, descended from the sky as a shockwave that annihilated everything!

"Nai—?!"

The shiny Gardevoir let out a startled cry!
It could clearly feel that the power was enough to tear it and its master to shreds in an instant!

The woman was so frightened by the sudden apocalyptic scene that her face turned pale and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This is a fear that originates from the depths of one's soul!
The shockwave arrived in an instant!

There's no time to think!

There is no room for hesitation!
Just as the aura of destruction was about to engulf the two of them—

Gardevoir moved!
Without the slightest hesitation, it spread its arms and resolutely stood in front of its master with its slender body!
Its eyes shone with a bright blue light, and its immense spiritual power erupted without reservation, attempting to build a final barrier!

It will risk its life to protect its master!

however!
At the very same moment!

Its owner, the gentle woman in the white dress, reacted instinctively to the immense fear of death—

She suddenly turned and ran backward, abandoning Gardevoir, and fled on her own.

hum-

The hallucination receded like the tide.

The world returned to normal.

The magnificent cave remains brightly lit.

There is no end of the world, no destruction.

Only a drunken Zoroark yawned, as if the matter was somewhat boring to it.

……

Deathly silence.

The woman in the white dress stood frozen in place. She realized it was just an illusion, and looked around again. There was a long distance between them...

Gardevoir, with its back to her, had its expression hidden.

Her face was completely drained of color, turning deathly pale.

"I……"

She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Boundless guilt and self-loathing overwhelmed her like a cold tide.

"Nai..."

Gardevoir turned around, its aquamarine eyes looking at its master with a complex expression.

[No, is this a hallucination? We can see it even through the internet cable?]

Holy crap, was she serious about running away just now?

[It's only human nature, isn't it? In that situation, who wouldn't be afraid? It's just an instinctive reaction.]

[But Gardevoir was ready to die for you, and you just abandoned it and ran away?]

If I were Gardevoir, I'd be so heartbroken...

The live stream chat exploded with comments.

There were those who understood, and those who condemned.

"me……"

The trainer frowned, feeling extremely guilty.

One second she was absolutely certain that she could live and die alongside Gardevoir.

But when faced with a real life-or-death moment, she actually abandoned Gardevoir and ran away alone. Although some people in the comments defended her, she could not deceive her true feelings no matter what.

At this moment, she was in great pain and deeply worried that she would disappoint Gardevoir.

"I'm sorry... Gardevoir."

"I am not worthy of you giving your life for me... I am not fit to be your trainer..."

She wavered.

Does she still have the right to pursue Gardevoir's Mega Evolution?

However, at this moment.

A pair of slender, warm hands gently embraced her.

It's Gardevoir.

It embraced its owner and gently nuzzled her hair with its cheek.

"Nai... Nai..."

It emits a gentle, soothing call.

[Waaaaah, Gardevoir is so kind! She was abandoned at the critical moment, doesn't she feel any resentment at all?!]

Sigh, this proves once again that humans are inferior to Pokémon!

Heh...that's human nature for you. When it comes to a critical moment, they're capable of anything.

[No, it's not that bad. Everyone looks out for themselves, and Pokémon are meant to protect their trainers!]

Ye Yinchuan sighed softly as he watched this scene.

He spoke, and his voice echoed throughout the entire live stream room.

"Human nature."

"Anyone, even me, would probably choose to run away when faced with an invincible enemy and the danger of death... even if it means abandoning my Pokémon."

"This is human nature, or rather, the instinct of life."

"Those who chose to stay are truly great, whether they are human or Pokémon. Their hearts overcame their instincts and their fears... just like this Gardevoir."

"Gardevoir's love for its trainer gave it such a steadfast heart; even at the cost of its life, even if it were abandoned, it would choose to protect its trainer without hesitation..."

"No matter how many times it comes, I believe it will make the same choice."

[Hey, host, please stop talking, I'm both touched and sad...]

Gardevoir's sincerity must be treated with care; don't let it down!

The woman slowly raised her head, looking at Ye Yinchuan with a serious expression, and then at Gardevoir, whose eyes remained gentle and trusting.

She got it.

She quickly wiped away her tears and stood up again!

Her eyes changed.

It's no longer about guilt and self-denial.

It was not a firmness like never before!
“Mr. Snorlax, I think I understand what you mean. You want me to be like Gardevoir, steadfast in my convictions, instead of giving up when faced with difficulties.”

She bowed deeply to Ye Yinchuan.
"Gardedrone can choose to sacrifice herself time and time again to protect me in the face of life and death. So why can't I stand up again and again in the face of setbacks and choose to walk with Gardedrone?"

"If my heart isn't firm enough, then I'll make it firm!"

Then, she turned around and held Gardevoir's hand tightly.

"Gardevoir, give me another chance!"

"This time, I will not back down!"

"I'll show you my resolve!" "No way!"

Gardevoir nodded emphatically, and a light rekindled in its aquamarine eyes!

Wow, this is really exciting!

[Go for it, girl!]

Wow, people with cultural knowledge speak so differently!

[Hopefully, it won't be all bark and no bite!]

Ye Yinchuan's lips curled into a smile.

He kicked the drunken, dozing Zoroark:

"Wake up, the second round has begun!"

"Woo?"

The little drunkard peeked out in a daze and took another sip of fermented fruit juice.

The illusion returns!
This time, what appeared before them was a golden lightning bolt that ripped through the sky!

It is Zapdos's divine punishment, powerful enough to judge all things!

The electric light illuminated the woman's pale face.

Her body was still trembling.

But this time, she did not back down!

She gritted her teeth, her legs felt like they were nailed to the ground, and she even... moved forward half a step!
This time, she hid behind Gardevoir, choosing to face the situation together with Gardevoir.

The illusion vanished.

Although the posture was awkward, and although the fear persisted.

But she didn't back down!

Well done!!!

She did it! She didn't back down!

"Again!" the woman gasped, her eyes growing increasingly determined.

the third time.

It was an overwhelming barrage of destructive rays, like the final judgment!
The woman closed her eyes, opened her arms, and completely shielded Gardevoir behind her!
the fourth time.

It is a shadow sphere that warps space, powerful enough to devour everything!
Instead of dodging, the woman stepped forward, trying to use her small body to block out that despair!

again and again.

They became braver each time.

Each time, my resolve grew stronger.

Everyone in the live stream held their breath, witnessing a trainer fight against instinct and overcome fear for the sake of his Pokémon!
at last.

The seventh illusion descends.

Mewtwo appears.

The purest, most overwhelming spiritual impact!

The incredibly fierce sense of oppression was realistically captured by Zoroark.

Faced with this fear that could shatter even the soul.

The woman's expression was solemn.

There was no fear on her face, only tranquility and composure, as she stood shoulder to shoulder with Gardevoir.

"Nai..."

Gardevoir took her hand, and the two, one human and one pet, became one in body and mind in the face of "death".

this moment.

The determination to protect is no longer one-way.

Instead, a perfect, flawless, life-or-death-entrusted closed loop is formed between the two!
Buzz——!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A dazzling light of evolution suddenly erupted from their tightly packed bodies!
That light was holy and dazzling, filled with the power of love and protection!

Super evolution!

Within the light, Gardevoir's form began to transform!
Her light blue and white dress, bathed in light, transformed into a deep and noble pure black, like the night sky!

The skirt became wider and more voluminous, like a princess dressed in her finest attire for a ball, both gorgeous and elegant!
Its arms were adorned with a pair of long black gloves, which added to its elegance.

The orange-red "Heart Blade" on his chest opened to both sides like a heart opening wide...

It has also become more vibrant and dazzling!
The light slowly faded away.

A completely new look appeared before everyone.

Mega Shiny Gardevoir!
It floated silently in mid-air, its long, elegant black dress moving without wind, radiating a soft halo.

Its temperament is more noble and more sacred.

Those red eyes seemed to contain the stars and the sea, gentle yet full of unfathomable power.

[Wow, is this Gardevoir's Mega Evolution?]

[Beautiful...breathtakingly beautiful...]

Is this a wedding dress? It's a black wedding dress! It's so beautiful!

I declare this the pinnacle of Pokémon visual appeal! No arguments allowed!

[Wife! Wife! I hereby unilaterally declare this woman to be my wife!]

The live stream audience was completely captivated by her stunning figure.

"Success..."

The woman murmured to herself, feeling the powerful yet gentle force emanating from Mega Gardevoir that resonated with her soul.

"Alright, family, let me explain briefly."

Ye Yinchuan's voice rang out at just the right moment.

"Mega Gardevoir is a versatile Pokémon with Fairy and Psychic types."

"After Mega Evolution, its abilities in all aspects, which can also be understood as its base stats, have been greatly enhanced. With the liberation of its mind, Gardevoir's mental power has undergone a qualitative leap... But most importantly, it has its unique ability."

Ye Yinchuan's gaze held a hint of admiration.

"Its characteristic has changed to—fairy skin."

"Fairy skin?"

[What kind of characteristic is this? It sounds so cute!]

"Pokémon with this ability will have their Normal-type moves converted to Fairy-type when using them, and their power will be increased!"

Ye Yinchuan explained.

"For example, a regular 'Hyper Beam' becomes a 'Fairy-type Hyper Beam' when Mega Gardevoir uses it! Its power is far greater than that of a regular Hyper Beam!"

Holy crap?! This is insane?!

[All Normal-type ultimate moves have become Fairy-type STAB moves, with increased power? How are we supposed to fight like this?]

[She's too strong... beautiful and powerful at the same time, who can resist her!]

"This is the reward for elevating the spirit of protection to its ultimate level."

Ye Yinchuan concluded,
"After all, protecting others requires more than just love; you also need strength!"

……

The live stream of Super Evolution has come to a successful conclusion.

a few days later.

The area around the Brilliant Cave has been completely sealed off by the Alliance.

A large number of researchers and security personnel have been deployed to carry out meticulous cleaning and protection of the area.

Ye Yinchuan, on the other hand, went alone to the deepest part of the cave.

The place protected by the Super Hook Eye.

This is the entrance to the "Gem Kingdom".

Through the entrance, you can see the moment when the Ruby Kingdom was sealed, as well as those Mega Pokémon. No matter how many times you watch it, it is always awe-inspiring and spectacular.

"Tianshi, are you ready? This is our first time entering the Gem Kingdom."

Ye Yinchuan looked solemn.

Diancie has mastered the power of Mega Evolution, and the path to saving the Gem Kingdom is officially beginning.

“Mr. Kirby, that’s my hometown.”

Diancie stood beside him, her hands clasped together as if in prayer, her aura radiating beauty, like that of a serene little princess.

Strictly speaking, Diancie came from the Gem Kingdom, so it wasn't her first time entering.

"This is just a reconnaissance mission. Our strength may not be enough, so Diancie, no matter what you see, you must follow my orders. Retreat when necessary, and don't linger in battle."

Ye Yinchuan gave instructions.

Tianxi nodded obediently.
