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

What would that be?

After a moment's hesitation, Xia Chen tentatively said, "Use the magic Flash."

Since it was an experimental feature rather than actual combat, Sylvanas didn't charge up for long and casually released a pink energy ball.

The ball of light expanded, the energy exploded, and countless fairy-type energy particles drifted in the air, appearing no different from ordinary magical flashes.

But Xia Chen keenly noticed something unusual: it wasn't the Magic Flash move that was unusual, but rather the unusual nature of Fairy Cloth.

The gems on her forehead and the halo around her waist changed from white gold to pink.

Its characteristic is [flexibility]?

Xia Chen had a vague idea and continued to try, "Use magical flames."

A strange, pinkish-purple flame shot out, but Xia Chen ignored it and instead observed the color of the gemstone.

Just as he had guessed, the gems turned from pink to crimson!

Is it really that versatile?

Xia Chen felt a surge of joy.

…………

Without a doubt, the ability to change shape at will is an extremely flexible characteristic that is even more powerful than the fairy skin.

After all, Fairy Skin can only convert normal attribute moves into Fairy attribute moves, but Transformation allows the Pokémon's own attribute to change with the move.

Not only do they enjoy a 1.5x boost to STAB moves, they are also excellent defensively.

Imagine Groudon unleashing a Precipice Sword attack, and Sylveon immediately counters with a Flying-type move—

Precipice Sword had no effect on Sylveon!

What? Where did Sylveon get a Flying-type move?

With Zoroark's help, is that a problem?

"Bu Yi! (Xia Chen, the ability seems to be more than it appears. I feel like there's some strange power assisting me when I use moves, making them even more powerful!)"

"I'm excited," Xianbu added.

Xia Chen was both surprised and delighted.

What does that mean? It even comes with Arceus's attribute tablet?

In the game, Arceus has the characteristic of multiple attributes—it can change its attribute based on the stone tablet it carries.

The stone slab also has an amplification effect—it increases the power of the Pokémon's moves of that type by 20%.

So, does this mean that Super Sylveon's characteristic has become an enhanced version of the [Multi-Attribute] characteristic?

As for why it's called an enhanced version, the fact that you can switch attributes without carrying a stone tablet makes it an enhanced version.

What does it mean to surpass one's teacher?

Xia Chen discovered that the deeper he dug, the more surprises Super Fairy Cloth brought him.

However, Xia Chen couldn't think of a way to test how much the power of this move would be amplified, since each attribute would benefit from the bonus, making it difficult to conduct comparative experiments.

Putting aside this [multi-attribute] characteristic for the moment, Xia Chen began testing the second important feature—race stats.

Of course, this is the term used in games; there's no such term in the real world, but it essentially exists.

In the game, all Mega Evolutions will increase a Pokémon's total base stats by 100, which will be distributed unequally among the six stats.

However, some spirits may experience a decrease in a certain dimension instead of an increase, which can be both good and bad.

For example, Mega Beedrill can reduce unwanted Special Attack stats to 15 points, making all physical attackers drool with envy, while Garchomp has an awkward change like reducing its Speed ​​stat by 10 points.

Sylveon's total base stats are 525, with its Special Attack stat of 110 and Special Defense stat of 130 being particularly noteworthy.

Xia Chen hoped that all the extra points could be added to the special attack stat—of course, that was absolutely wishful thinking.

However, no matter how you add it, a total value of 625 is already beyond that of a near-god. As long as the distribution isn't too outrageous, it's acceptable.

After a series of simple experiments, including unleashing and withstanding physical and special attacks, Xia Chen came to a thought-provoking conclusion—

Mega Sylveon's base stats seem to have that legendary "barrel waist" (meaning it has a very large waist).

Well, the way to describe someone with high emotional intelligence is an all-around warrior.

…………

No, does this also have to be inherited from Arceus?

Xia Chen felt somewhat helpless.

What is the racial distribution of people with "barrel waists"?

It can only be said to be average.

Dividing 625 by six results in each term being 104.

It's not bad, but it's definitely not good.

The good news is that after more in-depth experimental research, Xia Chen discovered that the strength of each of Sylvanas's abilities is close to its pre-evolution Special Attack value.

In other words, Sylveon's base stats increase after Mega Evolution might not be 100, but rather a little more.

Sylveon's original Special Attack stat was 110, but with careful training, its actual performance might be even higher.

If that's the case, then it's acceptable.

With all six abilities having a value of over 110, isn't that just a youthful version of Arceus?

Xia Chen became increasingly suspicious of the relationship between Arceus and Xenbu.

After studying its traits and base stats, the analysis of Sylveon's Mega Evolution is pretty much complete.

After all, only three things change with Mega Evolution: attributes, traits, and base stats.

The final test was duration. In a battle that wasn't particularly intense, Sylveon's Mega Evolution lasted for a total of twenty minutes.

This included the initial playful interactions, the subsequent tests, and the final simple battle against Milotic.

The duration is fairly average, and it will likely be much shorter once the intensity of the battle increases.

However, in the end, the degeneration was not caused by insufficient super energy in Xianbu's body, but by Xia Chen's mental strength being unable to support it.

Xia Chen felt that the battle two hours ago had consumed too much mental energy, which was also a very important reason.

If it were at its peak, Sylveon's Mega Evolution could probably last at least half an hour in a high-intensity battle, and that time would only increase with continued mental training.

Having completed our research on Sylveon's Mega Evolution, our search for the Legendary Megalolith today has come to a successful conclusion.

Although there were some hardships and setbacks along the way, the legendary Mega Stone and Mega Stone were finally found, and Sylveon was able to Mega Evolve. There couldn't be a better result.

Xia Chen sent the location to Mikey and asked him to bring more people over, so he could cook and have a picnic on the island.

Perhaps it was because the battle in the evening had exhausted them, or perhaps it was because they were in a good mood, but Xia Chen and Xianbu ate much more tonight.

Just as the second round of meals was about to begin, Mikoli arrived in a helicopter with a large group of people.

Xia Chen even saw a familiar face he hadn't seen in a long time, Dai Wu.

…………

"You're here pretty fast, Michael. Daigo-san's here too. Want to grab something to eat?"

Xia Chen warmly greeted the guests who had come from afar.

Wait, something's not right. It seems like I, from Donghuang, am the guest.

Mikoto and Daigo didn't notice these details; instead, they stared in horror at Rayquaza chewing on its food next to Xia Chen.

Although it's shrunk tenfold compared to that day, it's still a genuine elf!

"You guys...did you invite us here for a picnic?"

Even the elegant Mikoli couldn't help but stutter a little at this moment.

Because he wanted to surprise Mikey, Xia Chen played the riddle-taker on the phone, so the two best friends didn't know Xia Chen's real purpose in calling them over.

Xia Chen smiled mysteriously, then took out a smooth gem from his pocket.

The gemstone is entirely pink with blue and white patterns, making it a very typical Tanabata Bluebird Super Stone, which is why Xia Chen recognized it at a glance.

Michael and Daigo were also very excited.

Although Mikkel didn't recognize or have ever seen the stone before, he recalled Xia Chen's introduction to super evolution that day and had some guesses in his mind.

As for Daigo, although he didn't even know that there was such a thing as Mega Evolution, this was a rock, and a beautiful rock that he had never seen before, so he naturally got excited.

"So... this is the one you were talking about before?"

Mikoli leaned closer to examine the beautiful stone and asked a question.

"Yes, that's it."

Xia Chen nodded, confirming his guess.

Daigo, standing to the side, looked at the two riddle-solving men with a puzzled expression. "What are you talking about? What's with all this and that?"

Xia Chen smiled without saying a word, while Mikoli patted his best friend on the shoulder with a laugh: "Daigo-san, have you ever heard of Mega Evolution?"

The mysterious tone and smile were exactly the same as the question, "Have you heard of Amway?"

Daigo shook his head in confusion. This was exactly the effect that Michael wanted. He said with satisfaction, "Mega Evolution is a further evolutionary form on the basis of all the evolutionary stages of a Pokémon. This is why Rayquaza's form that day was different from the normal Rayquaza."

…………

Upon first hearing about Mega Evolution, Daigo naturally showed a shocked expression, while Mikuri became even more smug and continued to share the information he had learned from Xia Chen.

"That's not all. Besides Rayquaza, many ordinary Pokémon can also Mega Evolve, such as Swampert, Gyarados, and Garchomp. What they need is what Xia Chen has."

"Super Stone".

Xia Chen explained the name of this thing, saying that he was the discoverer of this world's super stone and could name it whatever he wanted.

Daigo was stunned for a while before he calmed down, and then he asked the question he cared about most, "Can Metagross Mega Evolve?"

Xia Chen was speechless. This guy's cancer was terminal; there was no hope.

He nodded and said, "Not only Metagross can do it, but Aggron can too."

"This is great!"
