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

"Moreover, Energy Cubes are inexpensive to produce, which means that the threshold for becoming a professional trainer will be lowered to some extent. The government will also increase subsidies for trainers in difficult circumstances, and there will be corresponding tax reductions."

"In addition, the existence of the Pokédex has greatly reduced the mortality rate of trainers in the wild and in secret realms, which is also a very good sign."

With a Pokédex, trainers can avoid wild Pokémon whose strength is beyond their ability to handle, and the Pokédex can also provide some guidance in case of unexpected situations.

Now, with the help of the Pokédex, trainers' outings can truly be considered training; before, they could only be called survival.

"The appearance of Sylveon has also spurred a new wave of research on Pokémon evolution in the Chinese Pokémon academic community. Not only have new evolutionary forms such as Glaceon, Espeon, and Umbreon been discovered, but new evolutions of some previously existing Pokémon have also been found."

Many Pokémon that originally had a low potential for growth have seen their maximum strength significantly increased after discovering new evolutionary forms.

"Overall, the training of trainers is developing in a very positive trend."

"As for us..." Gu Yangzhou glanced around at everyone.

"As the strongest trainers in China, our strength can be said to have reached its peak, and it is difficult to make any further progress."

"Therefore, we need a breakthrough opportunity."

Gu Yangzhou took a deep breath, and everyone else sat up straight, knowing that what followed was the core of today's meeting.

"And I think everyone already knows about this opportunity," Gu Yangzhou paused, looked at the expectant expressions on everyone's faces, and continued, "That's right, it's Mega Evolution! Mega Evolution brought about by Ye Feng!"

Ye Feng was startled.

All twelve pairs of eyes fell on Ye Feng once again.

Gu Yangzhou pressed a button on the table, and after a while the office door opened, and a man in black walked in, holding a small box in his hands.

All eyes were on the small box.

Gu Yangzhou took the box, and the man in black bowed and left.

"Based on the keystone and megastone in Ye Feng's possession, I sent people across the country to search. After a great deal of manpower and resources, we finally found several identical gems. One pair has already been delivered, and the others are still on their way."

As Gu Yangzhou spoke, he slowly opened the box, and everyone stood up and gathered around Gu Yangzhou's table.

Inside the box, two gems lay quietly.

One of them has a halo of various colors such as pink, blue, green and yellow, and there is a black textured pattern in the middle of the gemstone in the shape of leaves. It is a keystone.

The other one, round and silver-white with blue-brown leaf-shaped patterns in the center, is a mega stone.

"These are the Key Stone and the Mega Stone. Ye Feng, take out your Key Stone and Mega Stone." Gu Yangzhou looked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng nodded and took out his Key Stone and Gardevoir's Mega Stone.

After careful comparison, everyone found that the two key stones were exactly the same, while the mega stones had the same shape but different colors in the middle pattern.

“They are indeed keystones and megastones,” Master Jing said, and the others nodded in agreement.

"But what kind of Pokémon's Mega Stone is this?"

Ye Feng's Mega Stone can only evolve Gardevoir, and cannot be used on other Pokémon. Therefore, it can be deduced that one Mega Stone corresponds to one type of Pokémon.

But which Pokémon does this Mega Stone belong to?

"I don't know." Gu Yangzhou shrugged, and the others looked at each other in confusion before finally turning to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng is the only one here who is truly familiar with Mega Evolution, since it was he who proposed it.

“The color of the Mega Stone should correspond to the color of the Pokémon. This stone might have been used by a blue-brown Pokémon,” Ye Feng thought for a moment and said.

"The color..." Everyone looked at Gardevoir's Mega Stone, and after thinking about Gardevoir's appearance, they all nodded in agreement that Ye Feng's idea made some sense.

However, there are too many blue-brown Pokémon, and Mega Evolution requires a certain degree of bond between the Pokémon and the Trainer, so trying them one by one is simply unrealistic.

"Blastoise?" Ye Feng asked tentatively.

"Blastoise?" Everyone was taken aback and looked at Master Wang at the same time.

"Ye Feng, are you sure this is Blastoise's Mega Stone?" Master Wang's breathing quickened slightly; he was somewhat excited.

Ye Feng's Gardevoir possesses advanced strength, reaching Master level after Mega Evolution; and his ace Pokémon is Blastoise, which would reach what level if it successfully Mega Evolves.

Is there a legendary one?

"Um, I'm not too sure either. When it comes to blue-brown Pokémon, the first one that comes to mind is Blastoise. I have an old rival whose ace Pokémon is Charizard, so..." Ye Feng scratched his cheek, offering a reasonably plausible reason.

"Ah, Charizard, I see." Everyone nodded in understanding.

"President, what do you think?" Master Wang nervously rubbed his hands together and asked Gu Yangzhou.

"Hmm...we'll find out if we try it," Gu Yangzhou said. "Let's go to the indoor battle arena."

Gu Yangzhou closed the box and led everyone to the indoor battle arena, the very place where Ye Feng defeated the three-headed dragon.

Of course, no one knew about this except Ye Feng and Gu Yangzhou.

Gu Yangzhou handed the box to Master Wang, who excitedly took out the key stone and mega stone. Just as he was about to walk towards the arena, Ye Feng suddenly stopped him.

“Master Wang, there is a process for Mega Evolution.” Ye Feng pulled Master Wang away from the crowd and whispered to them amidst their puzzled gazes.

"What's the procedure?" Master Wang asked seriously.

"It's like this, you need to loudly recite an evolution line, the line is like this..." Ye Feng mumbled incoherently.

"Are you sure?" Master Wang frowned.

Ye Feng's line sounds a bit cringeworthy. At my age, won't it be embarrassing to say it like that?

What if this Mega Stone isn't Blastoise's? Wouldn't I just be making a complete fool of myself? I'd be laughed at to death.

"Really, you have to believe me!" Ye Feng said earnestly.

Master Wang looked at Ye Feng suspiciously for a moment. Ye Feng looked confident. After hesitating for a while, he decided to go for it!

He nodded: "Okay, I understand."

So, amidst the envious gazes of the crowd and Ye Feng's expectant eyes, Master Wang slowly walked towards the center of the arena.

Chapter 269 Blastoise Mega Evolution

"Come out, Blastoise!" Master Wang took his position and threw out a Poké Ball.

A gigantic, bipedal turtle-shaped Pokémon appeared on the field.

The Blastoise has a dark blue body, short and stout fore and hind limbs, and a short, thick blue tail. Its body is covered by a large, thick shell, brown on the back and pale yellow on the belly, edged with white. Two water cannons extend from the front of the shell and can retract into it.

"Blastoise, take this." Master Wang tossed the Mega Stone to Blastoise.

Blastoise caught the gem and examined it, a hint of doubt flashing in its eyes. It felt that the gem seemed to contain a peculiar energy, and couldn't help but look at Master Wang.

Master Wang smiled and explained, "Blastoise, this gem is called a Mega Stone, which has the potential to allow you to evolve further."

Evolution?! Blastoise stared wide-eyed in surprise.

“Alright, let’s begin.” Master Wang raised the keystone.

As Master Wang moved, the keystone began to emit a faint glow.

"It seems feasible." Master Jing stroked his chin and said. Since the Key Stone reacted, it meant that it had established a connection with the Mega Stone. This Mega Stone was indeed Blastoise's.

"Just watch," Gu Yangzhou nodded.

The stronger a Pokémon is, the greater the boost it receives from Mega Evolution. So, can a Master-level Pokémon reach Legendary level strength after Mega Evolution?

"..." Master Wang held up the key stone, opened his mouth, and muttered something unintelligible.

"What is Master Wang saying? Why is he speaking so softly?" Master Yu asked, puzzled.

"I don't know." Everyone looked puzzled.

"Old Wang, what are you muttering about? Speak up!" Master Jing shouted.

“Master Wang, look at those battle-themed movies. When the protagonist commands their Pokémon to use powerful moves, don’t they all shout out the name of the move? And during the most intense moments of the battle, they also deliver all sorts of cool lines. While this is meant to stir up the audience’s emotions, in reality, this can also effectively evoke the emotions of the Pokémon and resonate with the trainer’s wishes.”

"While I don't doubt the bond between you and Blastoise, saying those lines is a signal that it will make it easier for you and Blastoise to reach a state of mutual understanding and thus Mega Evolution."

Master Wang closed his eyes, Ye Feng's words of persuasion echoing in his ears, but no matter how he listened, they sounded like a lie.

"Master Wang, you have to read the evolution lines out loud!" Ye Feng was anxious. Was Master Wang afraid to read the lines out because they were too embarrassing?

No way, they're all masters, it's just reciting lines, what's there to be embarrassed about?

"What lines?" Everyone looked at Ye Feng in confusion.

"No, it's nothing!" Ye Feng turned his face away guiltily.

"??"

"I...I understand!" Master Wang blushed and took a deep breath.

Forget it, give it a go!

If Mega Evolution really does provide such a huge boost, what does it matter if I lose face?

"Blastoise, are you ready?" Master Wang asked loudly.

"Kame!" Although he didn't know what to prepare, Blastoise hadn't relaxed since its appearance, so it responded with great enthusiasm.

Watching the two, one human and one turtle, gazing lovingly at each other, Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh, "Their bond is so strong! They'll definitely be able to achieve Mega Evolution!"

"The prayers of my soul, scattered across countless worlds, the mysterious power hidden deep within your blood! Feel our bond, gather here at this moment, and reveal that form to the world!"

Blastoise, Mega Evolve!!
