I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

"Alright then." Ning Xian nodded.

"Xiaoxian, you absolutely cannot tell anyone what you're about to see, not even your mother, understand?" Ye Feng pressed down on Ning Xian's shoulder, looking into her eyes and speaking earnestly.

"Huh? Okay, I promise you." Ning Xian was surprised, but seeing Ye Feng's serious expression, she nodded vigorously.

"Also, if you feel your mental strength can't hold up, you must push it away immediately, understand?" Ye Feng added.

Although he estimated that Ning Xian's mental strength was sufficient, he did not know whether it was accurate without actual verification.

Ning Xian nodded.

"Alright. Gardevoir, are you ready?" Ye Feng gripped the Key Stone and looked at Gardevoir.

Gardevoir nodded.

"Xiaoxian, hold me tight."

Ning Xian did as she was told and hugged Ye Feng tightly.

Ye Feng took a deep breath and touched the Key Stone with his right index finger: "Gardevoir, Mega Evolve!"

What? Evolution? What evolution? Ning Xian was full of question marks.

As Ye Feng spoke, the Key Stone between his fingers and the Mega Stone in Gardevoir's hand both shone brightly!

Well!

At the same time, Ning Xian felt a tightness in her chest as she sensed her spiritual energy rapidly flowing towards Ye Feng and the gem in his hand.

A powerful, indescribable energy emanated from both the Key Stone and the Mega Stone, transforming into several white chains that, like the light of evolution, connected the Key Stone and the Mega Stone.

Two beams of light intertwined and connected along the chains, merging together in just a few seconds and forming a unique bridge.

Immediately afterwards, the light from the Mega Stone quickly enveloped Gardevoir.

"This is... the Light of Evolution?" Ning Xian's mouth dropped open in surprise. What was going on? Gardevoir was evolving?

Suddenly, a strong wave of energy erupted from within the light, and violent psychic power spread out, causing Ye Feng and Ning Xian's hair to fly wildly.

A mysterious symbol flashed across the sky, and the light enveloping Gardevoir suddenly exploded, transforming into countless specks of light that slowly fell to the ground.

Ye Feng was incredibly excited to see Gardevoir's appearance drastically changed. With Ning Xian's help, Mega Evolution had actually been completed!

Ning Xian stared blankly at Gardevoir, her mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

Gardevoir's appearance underwent a dramatic change. Its horns grew significantly larger, it wore white gloves, and its original white dress transformed into an evening gown, giving it a noble air.

Ye Feng sensed that Gardevoir was now enveloped in a dense psychic aura, several times stronger than before.

"What... what's going on? Was that the Light of Evolution just now? Why did Gardevoir evolve? Is it because of that gem?" Ning Xian asked blankly.

Ye Feng took a deep breath: "Xiao Xian, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong? How much is your mental energy depleted?"

Ning Xian paused for a moment and said, "I don't feel anything special. Except that my mental energy was consumed a lot at the beginning, but it didn't have much of an impact, and it hasn't been consumed anymore."

Ye Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Mega Evolution was successful, he would rather give up this method if Ning Xian couldn't handle it.

"Quick, tell me what happened? How did Gardevoir evolve?" Ning Xian looked at Mega Gardevoir and shook Ye Feng vigorously.

"Don't rush, I'll explain it to you slowly."

Chapter 147 Repeatedly Jumping Around for Mega Evolution

Ye Feng briefly explained to Ning Xian his analysis of the spirit energy and life energy of Pokémon, as well as the principles of Mega Evolution.

"Wow, you..." Ning Xian covered her mouth, looked at Ye Feng in surprise, and then looked at Mega Gardevoir.

She hadn't expected that Ye Feng was not only outstanding in battle, but also had gone so far in his research on Pokémon.

No wonder they kept it a secret; if this discovery were made public, it would definitely cause an earthquake in the world of Pokémon studies, no less significant than the power of the Power Cube.

On the other side, Mega Gardevoir seemed very interested and satisfied with its new evolution form. It used its psychic powers to hold up a mirror and looked at itself in it, constantly admiring its new evolution.

Ye Feng also released Gyarados, Arcanine, and Akagi, and the three Pokémon watched from the sidelines around Mega Gardevoir.

Cocodora even tried to nudge Gardevoir's evening gown with its head, only to be grabbed by Gardevoir's psychic powers and used to play a game of remote-controlled flight.

Sensing the psychic power of Mega Gardevoir, which was several times stronger, Gyarados froze, its restless tail obediently lowering itself—it wanted to test Gardevoir's strength after its evolution, but decided against it, fearing it would get beaten up.

Arcanine obediently squatted to the side and watched, but one could still see envy and longing in its eyes.

"That's amazing! But how did you find out?" Ning Xian asked, puzzled.

"Uh, this..." Ye Feng froze. How was he supposed to explain this? Should he just tell her that he was a transmigrator and already knew about Mega Evolution?

No, no, no, even Ning Xian wouldn't believe that, right? Time travel is too far-fetched; this isn't a novel.

"I discovered it by chance. I got the Keystone by chance in the Rift. I just kept it because I thought it looked nice. Later, I also happened to get the Mega Stone."

"Gardevoir really liked the Mega Stone, so I gave it to it. Then I had the Key Stone, and Gardevoir had the Mega Stone. I touched the Key Stone, and Gardevoir suddenly evolved."

"This is similar to my initial speculation about the hidden power of Pokémon after Kirlia evolved and gained the Fairy attribute. I really want to know if this evolution can be completed."

"Then I discovered that my mental strength was insufficient, so I searched everywhere for ways to improve it, and you know what happened next..."

Ye Feng offered an explanation, but even he felt it was a perfunctory one.

Ning Xian squinted at Ye Feng until he broke out in a cold sweat, then said, "Never mind, none of this matters."

She nestled gently into Ye Feng's arms and whispered, "All I need to know is that you will always be my A-Feng."

Ye Feng felt a jolt in his heart, and his eyes stung a little. He hugged her tightly and whispered, "Don't worry, it always has been, and it always will be."

"That's enough..."

With the help of Ning Xian's mental power, Ye Feng successfully completed Gardevoir's Mega Evolution.

But this is only a temporary solution.

In future battles, we can't bring Ning Xian along, can we?

Putting aside whether the rules allow it or not, even if they did, Ning Xian wouldn't always have time to accompany Ye Feng to various competitions. She also has her own things to do and studies to attend, and she will have her own career to pursue after graduation.

Furthermore, what's the point of bringing your girlfriend onto the field during a match? You'd probably get bitten to death by all the single people around you.

Moreover, even if the problem of combat is solved, what will happen when we go to secret realms with higher levels of danger?

Ordinary resources are no longer sufficient to meet Ye Feng's needs. The energy gems he obtained before, apart from CocoDora, can only be used to teach the other Pokémon new moves, and have little effect on his own improvement.

To continue improving one's strength, the resources in the resource vault are only enough to quench thirst; one must definitely explore high-risk secret realms.

Ning Xian has now switched careers to become a researcher, and her combat skills will definitely not meet the requirements for entering high-risk secret realms. Can I protect her?

Relying on a research team? If you're going to explore resources, not conduct research, the association won't approve that kind of application.

Moreover, even if Gardevoir succeeds, what about Mega Evolutions of Gyarados, Aggron, or other Pokémon? We can't rely on Ning Xian forever; that's unrealistic.

Therefore, Ye Feng will ultimately have to rely on his own abilities to help Gardevoir achieve Mega Evolution.

But this experiment wasn't without its benefits.

First, having undergone a complete Mega Evolution and briefly broken through a new level of life, Gardevoir's understanding of life energy was greatly enhanced, and its strength increased significantly.

Ye Feng was confident that he could defeat Park Ji-hoon in a rematch, even without Mega Evolution.

It's a pity, he's been banned for life, who knows where he is now...

Secondly, Ye Feng's own mental strength was also enhanced, probably due to the stimulation from Ning Xian's mental strength.

Although it is not yet at the level to support Mega Evolution, it is a significant improvement over the past, much like changing from a cup to a bowl to hold water.

It seems that, whether it's battling or Mega Evolution, the experience gained through practice is always more valuable.

Ye Feng originally wanted to improve his mental strength by repeatedly Mega Evolving, but he found that Mega Evolving not only consumed Ye Feng's mental strength, but also greatly consumed Gardevoir's physical strength.

Its first complete evolution lasted only 3 minutes before it was forced to revert to its normal form.

But he's still considerably better than Ye Feng...

It's unrealistic to think that you can keep relying on this method to train your mental strength, since Ning Xian can't stay in the capital forever.

Ye Feng could only make the most of Ning Xian's time in the capital by constantly having Gardevoir undergo Mega Evolution to train its mental strength.

After that, you can only honestly practice the methods taught by the master trainers.

-------------------------------------

Ning Xian went back.

Ye Feng's grand plan for happiness ultimately failed, leaving him with resentment...

There was no other way; after all, Ning Xian was only an intern researcher, and there were still many things to do at the Little Saw Crocodile Research Institute.

If it weren't for their connections, Ning Xian wouldn't have had the time to come and see Ye Feng.

Ah, some people might be asking, how come Ning Xian is now an intern researcher?

Well, Ning Xian is naturally intelligent, and also... having connections makes things much easier!

Moreover, now that Ye Feng's mental strength has begun to improve slowly but steadily, Ning Xian no longer needs to stay.

As a result of Ning Xian's departure, the school team's dormitory was once again empty, and even the battle club was affected.

Years later, a bizarre rumor circulated at Imperial University: couples should never appear near the university's sports team dormitory, Battle Gym No. 3, or a certain laboratory building, or they would be attacked by an evil trainer with Gardevoir, Gyarados, and Arcanine.
