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

"Three-headed evil dragon, use your mind-mashing hammer!" Gu Yangzhou ordered.

Ye Feng frowned slightly. This trick had already proven useless, so why bother trying it again?

"Get out of the way, the power of the moon!"

"Now! Pursue them relentlessly!"

"what?!"

Ye Feng was startled.

The three-headed dragon, whose attack had missed, suddenly transformed into a black light and appeared in front of Gardevoir. With a flash of black light in its eyes, it slammed its head into the astonished Gardevoir.

"Stop it!" Ye Feng waved his hand.

Gardevoir raised its hands forward, unleashing its full psychic power. The previously invisible "Solid" became clearly visible, transforming into a solid wall that blocked Hydreigon's fierce impact.

"boom!"

The malicious pursuit crashed into "Steel," producing a teeth-grinding thud, but unfortunately, it failed to break through Gardevoir's defenses.

After reaching the Master level, his mental strength increased significantly, and his "firm" defense also underwent a qualitative change, no longer as weak as before in defending against physical attacks.

"Such strong defense! This is several times stronger than the Reflective Barrier." Gu Yangzhou was a little surprised.

Reflect only significantly reduces the damage from physical attacks, but Gardevoir's "Sturdy" ability completely blocked the malicious pursuit attack, which surprised him.

"Catch it!"

The three-headed dragon used a close-range attack for the first time, which gave Ye Feng a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Gardevoir unleashed a surge of psychic power, directly binding Hydreigon.

While Psychic attacks are ineffective against Dark-type Pokémon, it is still possible to use Psychic to restrain a Dark-type Pokémon for a short period of time.

Hydreigon struggled fiercely, using its resistance to Psychic-type attacks to quickly break free of its restraints, then flapped its wings and retreated rapidly—Gardedor already had a Fairy Ball gathered in its hand; if it were hit by this attack again…

"It's been a long time since I used this move. Gardevoir, Spiral Flash... no, Flying Thunder God Technique II!" Ye Feng shouted.

"What is that?" Gu Yangzhou was full of questions, and in his moment of distraction, he failed to give the three-headed dragon the command in time.

However, even that brief moment was enough.

To Gu Yangzhou's astonishment, Gardevoir vanished from its spot and reappeared beside Hydreigon.

Hydreigon stared wide-eyed, somewhat bewildered, at Gardevoir, which was flying backwards rapidly alongside it, and saw the Fairy Ball in its hand.

Gardevoir smiled slightly, stretched out its hand, and slammed the Fairy Ball down hard on Hydreigon's head.

"boom!!"

Chapter 250 The World Tree's "Prophecy"

Gu Yangzhou was somewhat dazed.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?

I think I was just defeated by a high-level trainer?

This advanced trainer's Pokémon suddenly leveled up to Master level?

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Even if Gardevoir were temporarily upgraded to Master level, Hydreigon wouldn't have been defeated so quickly; however, Fairy type is a natural counter to Dragon type, and Hydreigon's Dark type was also weak against it.

A rough calculation shows that if other Pokémon take one Fairy Ball hit, it's equivalent to taking four. No matter how high its health bar is, it can't withstand that kind of attack!

"That...the president?" Ye Feng suddenly felt a little flustered when he saw that Gu Yangzhou was not moving.

What should I do? Will the sect leader be able to handle this shock? Should I run away?

"Ah, it's nothing." Gu Yangzhou, being the president of the association, quickly regained his composure, recalled Hydreigon into its Poké Ball, and walked to Ye Feng's side.

Examining Mega Gardevoir closely, he murmured, "Mega Evolution..."

Just as Gu Yangzhou was pondering, a burst of light surged from Gardevoir's body, and her gorgeous evening gown dissipated, returning her to her original appearance.

"Hmm?" Gu Yangzhou raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised. "Regressed? This evolution is only temporary?"

Ye Feng nodded: "That's right. Because it's driven by external forces like Key Stones and Mega Stones, Mega Evolution can only be maintained temporarily for now."

"I see," Gu Yangzhou mused.

An evolution that can only be used in battle is normal. If it were a permanent evolution, Ye Feng wouldn't have been able to hide it for so long.

"I understand." Gu Yangzhou nodded, indicating that he understood. "Alright, the battle is over, now you should explain things to me, right? What exactly is Mega Evolution?"

Gu Yangzhou took Ye Feng back to the office, locked the door and turned off the surveillance, leaving only the two of them in the space.

Ye Feng then began to slowly recount the story he had prepared beforehand, about how he discovered the process of Mega Evolution.

Starting with his research on Spiral Balls, Gardevoir began to understand psychic and life energy. After completing the first type of Psychic Ball, Gardevoir was able to successfully distinguish between psychic and life energy.

Then, by chance, he obtained the Key Stone and the Mega Stone, and through his understanding of life energy, he discovered a mysterious connection between the Key Stone and the Mega Stone.

Then, during a secret realm exploration, they faced a life-or-death crisis. Under the intense mental fluctuations, the Key Stone and Mega Stone resonated, and Gardevoir and Gyarados underwent their first Mega Evolution.

However, Mega Evolution was too shocking and completely broke the common sense of Pokémon evolution, so he never announced it.

As for why Gyarados can evolve without a Mega Stone, Ye Feng explained that Gyarados had already begun to comprehend life energy. At that time, in order to protect its trainer, its strong emotions replaced the function of the Mega Stone, activating the hidden power within its body and resonating with the Key Stone, thus achieving an evolution similar to Mega Evolution.

Ye Feng categorized this phenomenon, along with the evolutionary potential previously demonstrated by Arcanine, into another type of evolution: Bond Evolution.

···

It took Ye Feng an entire afternoon to give Gu Yangzhou a brief explanation of Mega Evolution and Bond Evolution.

Any content that would reveal their time travel or give them advance knowledge of Mega Evolution has been altered to make it more believable.

"A barrier at the level of life?" Gu Yangzhou murmured. As a senior master-level trainer, he naturally had a certain degree of research on life energy.

This is a path to legendary status that master-level trainers have agreed upon after much discussion, so they quickly accepted Ye Feng's statement.

After all, from his perspective, Ye Feng's words were all reasonable and were what master trainers were researching. It's just that Ye Feng had progressed a bit faster by chance.

Given enough time, after touching the barrier of the life level, it is entirely possible that they will discover the existence of Mega Evolution and Bond Evolution.

"Then, what made you decide to tell me this discovery? It can allow you to leap from advanced to master level. I don't need to elaborate on the importance of Mega Evolution, right?" Gu Yangzhou asked with a solemn expression.

"Advanced level can be upgraded to master level, but what about master level? Is it possible to upgrade to legendary level?"

However, more than Mega Evolution, he was concerned about the reason that prompted Ye Feng to say this.

"It's not that simple." Ye Feng shook his head. "Without a certain level of understanding of life energy, even a high-level Pokémon won't see such a significant improvement. It will only improve in various aspects of its stats and its mastery of moves."

"As for whether a master-level expert can reach the legendary level, I don't know. We'll find out once we find a usable mega stone and have a few masters test it out."

Gu Yangzhou nodded in agreement.

"Furthermore, why did I make this decision..." Ye Feng organized his thoughts and asked, "President, are you aware of the impending catastrophe of the Divine Beast Chaos?"

"What?!" Gu Yangzhou's pupils constricted slightly. "The chaos of divine beasts?"

"That's right, this is what I saw at the World Tree, a vision of the future."

I'm sorry, Dream. Although you asked me to keep it a secret, I have to tell you for the sake of humanity's future.

Ye Feng began to slowly recount the future visions he saw through the World Tree.

However, he didn't reveal the matter of Dream. After all, Dream's strength was currently limited. Although it wouldn't be in danger, it could cause considerable trouble if it were to be entangled by some malicious people.

Since Dream and the World Tree are closely related, Ye Feng dared not gamble on whether humans could find a way to harm Dream, thereby affecting the World Tree and even the entire world.

Therefore, Ye Feng directly said that Phoenix King took him to the World Tree.

"A war between mythical beasts? The destruction of the world?" Gu Yangzhou gasped, somewhat frightened.

His first reaction was disbelief; it sounded like something out of a novel or an anime.

However, Ye Feng's expression showed no signs of adolescent delusions; instead, it was heavy with worry, forcing Ye Feng to begin to believe him.

"Are you serious?" Gu Yangzhou asked in a low voice.

"Would I joke about something like this?" Ye Feng smiled wryly. "You, the guild master, are aware that my superpower allows me to borrow other people's mental energy, right?"

Gu Yangzhou nodded. He naturally knew that Ye Feng had asked Master Yu for advice on how to train his superpowers, and therefore also knew the effects of Ye Feng's superpowers.

"When I touched the World Tree, I absorbed the spiritual power coming from it. It was through the connection and resonance of spiritual power that I was able to see those scenes."

Wait a minute, Ye Feng suddenly paused.

He originally made this up to explain how he saw visions of the future.

But he suddenly discovered that his superpower was to borrow other people's mental energy, but how did he do that?

It's simply about achieving resonance to a certain extent to establish a connection, allowing the other person's spiritual power to flow into one's own body through this link—but right now, Ye Feng has only discovered that he can borrow from Ning Xian and Guo Pengfei. He is most familiar and intimate with the two of them, and they have a considerable tacit understanding with each other.

Guo Pengfei was just an afterthought, since he had never trained in superpowers and his mental strength was pitifully weak—relative to superpowered individuals, of course, not compared to ordinary people.

If this ability is further developed, and one can break free from the limitation of tacit understanding, and borrow the mental power of more people—one person is not enough, what about ten people, a hundred people, or even ten thousand people?

In that case...

If that's the case, then it explains why, even though only one Pokémon can undergo Mega Evolution at a time, the scene in the dream where the Pokémon beside me were all Mega Evolved or Bond Phenomena...

When mental power is strong enough to break through a certain barrier, the simultaneous evolution of multiple beings might be explainable.
