Who needs a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

In some ways, the burden is even greater, because Mega Evolution theoretically maintains a delicate balance in an almost out-of-control evolutionary form through the bond with Pokémon. Once the balance is achieved, the burden is actually less.

Before evolution is complete, this posture should actually consume more energy; if you have to put it in perspective, it's like a "leaky" state.

Despite being in such a leaky state, Gardevoir didn't seem to be in as much pain as expected. Through telepathy, Lowell clearly sensed Gardevoir's response.

The reason Gardevoir was chosen as the first partner to try Mega Evolution was also because Gardevoir has telepathy, so if anything happens, Loewon will know immediately.

Although if something really happens to Masked Cat, Lo Wei will definitely be able to sense it immediately, there might still be some "language" barriers when it comes to communicating about specific details.

There's no way around it; objectively, telepathy has an advantage in this area, something even Masked Cat has to admit...

If Masked Cat wants to say "I like you" to Loew, it has to express it through body language, while Gardevoir can actually convey it through telepathy using words that Loew can understand.

(How does it feel?)

Lowe inquired about the other's physical condition with concern through telepathy, while Gardevoir's tone carried a hint of disbelief.

Before taking action, Loewon had clearly told Gardevoir that Mega Evolution is the power that unleashes one's own potential, and theoretically, it involves a painful process.

Gardevoir also indicated that she was mentally prepared before accepting Loewon's choice.

However, it seems that the situation is not quite as expected...

(It feels incredibly unbelievable...)

Just as Gardevoir replied, she did not feel any discomfort and even felt that the situation was unexpectedly good.

An incredible aura spread out from Gardevoir's feet, radiating a faint pink light. This was naturally a terrain effect, not Psychic Terrain, but Misty Terrain, which corresponds to the Fairy type...

It can prevent Pokémon within it from falling into status conditions and weaken the power of Dragon-type Pokémon...

It seems to be able to enhance Fairy-type Pokémon to some extent, but Rowe remembers that Misty Terrain originally didn't have any type-boosting effects. Anyway, this isn't the first time he's encountered a situation where the skill effects are different from those in the game.

In short, as the field expanded, Gardevoir's offensive became even more intense, and the crescent moon above her head... which was originally crescent-shaped, now became a full moon as bright as a silver plate.

This certainly didn't actually change the celestial phenomena; it was merely that the powerful fairy attribute energy triggered some kind of "field effect."

Within this brilliant full moon, pink light coalesced into pillars of light and arrows that rained down from the sky, dazzling both sides with a dazzling array of special effects.

"This is really..."

Meanwhile, Sissana, maintaining her Mega Evolution form, was not to be outdone. Although her power was weakened by Misty Terrain, Mega Salamence still had the Flying type, and its Sky Skin ability could convert Normal-type moves into Flying-type moves and increase their power.

Because of this characteristic, it simply abandoned Dragon-type moves and relied entirely on its Hyper Beam, which was upgraded to the limit, to constantly fight against the beams and arrows of light falling from the sky.

Luo Wei felt that the opponent must have been quite frustrated, because no matter what, Salamence has the Dragon type with its violent output, and must also have some very powerful skills in this regard.

Unfortunately, due to the terrain and type advantage, Dragon-type moves are completely useless against Gardevoir, which means Salamence can only use up to 70% of its full power.

Even so, it was able to fight Gardevoir, which had unleashed some of its Mega Evolution power, to a standstill despite its type disadvantage, demonstrating its formidable strength.

Luo Wei was getting into the game, while Xijiana on the other side was also quite surprised.

(What's going on? Why does it seem like Loewon's Gardevoir didn't bear any of the burden of Mega Evolution? Or rather, it's not that it didn't bear it, but that the bond between them was strong enough to negate the burden from the start?)

If that's the case, if that's the case, then...

(...Well, Rowe, maybe you really can.)

At that moment, a burst of bluish-white light suddenly erupted from the backpack that Luo Wei had placed in the hot spring hotel room. At the same time, Lillie, who had gotten up from the hot spring and was heading back to her room, also began to feel her handbag start shaking.

Chapter 176 The Origin of Mega

A burst of bluish-white light suddenly erupted from the backpack that Luo Wei had placed in the hot spring hotel room. At the same time, as soon as Lillie returned to her room, she saw her handbag shake twice.

"Hey, Little Nebula?"

Lillie quickly stepped forward, opened her handbag with a puzzled look, and Nebula, who was hiding inside, poked her head out, looking curiously in the direction of Chimney Mountain.

At the same time, a bluish-white flash of light soared into the air and flew directly in that direction.

Over there, Luo Wei subconsciously looked up and saw a bluish-white flash streak across the night sky, followed by a light that continued to grow larger in his vision.

"……what?"

By the time they came to their senses, the light was already within reach. Obviously, a human's speed is no match for the speed of a falling meteor. Fortunately, the masked cat reacted in time and grabbed Luo Wei.

A shooting star streaked across the night sky, falling with a wave of heat, but stopped just before hitting the ground. Luo Wei knew what it was, of course. Sure enough, the meteorite that had been hidden in his room was now emitting a bluish-white light, hovering right in front of him.

Seeing that the meteorite had not changed any further and was just floating quietly, Luo Wei immediately understood most of the situation and reached out his hand.

Higana didn't make any extra movements; she just watched as Rowe reached out to touch the meteorite. The moment Rowe's fingers touched the meteorite, images flashed before his eyes.

A boundless, deep darkness...

...Infinite radiance converged into a vast confluence, adorning the deep darkness, and the star clusters, shining like a giant vortex, were a magnificent sight that could take one's breath away at a single glance.

Luo Wei suddenly realized something. This perspective could be the memory left behind in the meteorite, just like the scene he saw when he first obtained the ultimate power.

However, it's worth noting that no one else has ever heard of or seen similar scenes when they obtained these powers. It seems that only Lowe has seen the corresponding strange scenes when he obtained these powers.

However, there seems to be no need to consider these things now. As the scene suddenly shifted rapidly, a figure appeared in front of Luo Wei.

It was a greenish-blue dragon-shaped Pokémon enveloped in countless vortexes of air...

Luo Wei immediately recognized the Pokémon's true identity: Rayquaza, the legendary sky god of the Hoenn region!

But speaking of this background...

...At that moment, a strange thought suddenly popped into Luo Wei's mind: you say that within the realm of common sense, the gods of the earth and the sea are easy to understand.

After all, the concepts of land and sea are concrete objects; they are real, tangible entities that can be seen and touched.

So, the concept of the "God of the Sky" sounds quite abstract. After all, what exactly constitutes the "sky"?

If we're talking about the literal meaning, then the so-called sky should be the space that you can see when you look up, and the sun, moon, and stars are also part of the concept of "sky".

If we interpret it this way, then wouldn't the sky represent the vast expanse of space...?

This is theoretically impossible, after all, if the God of the Sky is truly an equal to the God of the Universe, then his prestige is far superior to the previous two.

Therefore, through the scene he saw at this moment, Luo Wei roughly understood the concept that the so-called "sky" represented in this legend.

In reality, it should be the special substance that envelops the planet, a concept similar to an "atmosphere." This is roughly equivalent to the status of the gods of the earth and the sea. In other words, the so-called god of the sky is actually the "god of the atmosphere"...

A deity who possesses the ability to freely manipulate celestial phenomena and atmospheric changes, thus being endowed with conceptual abilities.

Okay, that concludes our exploration of the concepts surrounding Rayquaza. This explains why Rayquaza usually roams outside of planets.

Because He is essentially the embodiment of the atmosphere, and is a barrier between the planet and the cosmos, essentially a protective barrier that protects the planet from various threats in the cosmos, part of His power is to help the planet resist threats from outside the planet.

This explains why Rayquaza fought against the "Deoxys (aliens)" that descended from beyond the universe. From Rayquaza's (atmosphere's) perspective, Deoxys (aliens) was an intruder on the planet, and naturally, it had to be expelled...

Therefore, in reality, defending against threats from outside the planet is His job, and theoretically, there is no need for Rayquaza to get involved in struggles on Earth.

but……

...At that moment, a meteor shining with brilliant light flew in front of Rayquaza. From the meteor, a small creature with a head shaped like half a five-pointed star and ribbon-like things on its body appeared. It was quite cute.

Although it looks like an innocent and cute Pokémon, Rowe knows that it is the legendary mythical being that can summon miracles and grant wishes, the Wishing Star "Jirachi"...

Jirachi appeared before Rayquaza, and from its body, an invisible will emanated. Rayquaza sensed a powerful will within it—a sorrowful wish to quell the conflict between the two gods, a helpless choice made by humanity after trying everything, powerless against their might…

Although in theory, matters on Earth are not under the jurisdiction of the God of the Atmosphere, since this prayer has been conveyed, the concept god who protects the planet cannot ignore it.

So……

...and I bestow this power upon you.

The source of this power is a meteorite from outer space. Essentially, it is the power of an alien life form that fought Rayquaza. The alien possesses the ability to freely switch between different forms and change its shape to alter its own racial stats.

The God of the Sky analyzed this power, and then copied it himself...

Now, let us bestow this special power upon the people of this world. If they can harness this power, the God of the Sky will acknowledge their abilities and personally appease the wrath of the two gods.

The meteorite, imbued with the power of the Sky God and carrying the power of the wishing star Jirachi, fell towards the ground...

That is "hope"...

...The truth about Mega Evolution!

Chapter 177 Dual Cheat Codes Combined~

The most direct way to use a power is to understand how it works and to analyze and understand its origins from the very bottom.

Therefore, at this moment, Luo Wei clearly understood the original source of the power of Mega Evolution on this land.

The Sky God, with his own power, combined the power of the "Deoxys" (an alien) who changed his form, the power of the miraculous being Jirachi, and the power of the "Wishing Star," and the power of the three forces, fused together to form this special power.

This power has absolutely nothing to do with the Sun and Moon Gods, who are even Pokémon from another world. However, the ultimate power bestowed by the Sun and Moon Gods is surprisingly similar to the power of Mega Evolution in its operating logic.

It is evident that this force itself is equivalent to a fundamental theorem like "universal gravitation," possessing the characteristic of transcending all civilizations and temporal and spatial limitations, and exhibiting convergence.

In short, at this moment, Rowe fully understood the origin of Mega Evolution and the origin of the meteorite. After understanding these things, Rowe felt a hidden power within the meteorite constantly flowing into him...

At the same time, the Z-Crystal in Luo Wei's hand also suddenly emitted heat.

"Oh, you're here to join in the fun too?"

While Rowe was still in a daze, Lillie, back at the hot spring inn, also saw the little nebula reveal a smile of great interest. It wiggled two tiny antennae on its head, which might have been ears, and from its body, which contained boundless starlight, and from the crystal at its center—which was presumably its core—a beam of intense light shot through the air…

...Luo Wei was in the process of fusing the power of the meteorite when suddenly a beam of light flew over and shone on him at the same time.

"Huh?"

The power of the Sky God, remnants from the meteorite, and the power of the Sun and Moon Gods within the little nebula...

Although they were two completely unrelated forces, they were now completely fused into Luo Wei's body, and even coexisted in perfect harmony...

Previously, Crimson Flame Pine had tried to fuse Mega Evolution and Ultimate Power, struggling with constipation to finally unleash a powerful attack. But with Rowe, he felt an inexplicable smoothness throughout his body; the two powers had no effect on him whatsoever…

...On the contrary, it seems that because the two forces compensated for each other's shortcomings, they formed a subtle yet perfect "balance". Not only did it help Rowe offset the enormous pain brought about by Mega Evolution, but it also completely offset the burden generated by the ultimate power.

Normally, using these two powers simultaneously should double the burden, but for Luo Wei, the burden actually cancels out, seemingly allowing him to use these two powers without any obstacles.

At that moment, Luo Wei realized something once again.

Just as he had previously thought, "balance" is the underlying principle of this world, and perhaps this is the correct way to utilize these forces.
