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

Alakazam's eyes flashed blue, and its powerful psychic energy fiercely pressed down on Blastoise.

"Evil wave!"

"Bang!" Blastoise's three cannons, one on its back and one on each side, pressed forward simultaneously, and the black dark energy transformed into a terrifying giant face that roared as it pounced on Alakazam.

The strong mental will and the evil fluctuations collided, resulting in a stalemate.

Before Alakazam's shocked eyes, the giant face of the Evil Wave quickly broke through the mental barrier, opened its abyssal maw, and swallowed Alakazam whole.

"boom!"

"Alakazam!" Master Yu exclaimed in surprise. "Is this Dark Pulse? Is this a Dark-attribute version of Hydro Cannon?"

As the smoke slowly dissipated, Hudi, holding a spoon, had its green protective aura flicker a few times before exploding into fragments that scattered in the air.

Just as the Dark Pulse was about to hit, Alakazam narrowly used Protect to block the attack.

Master Wang sighed with regret.

With the combined power of Mega Evolution and its ability, Blastoise's Dark Pulse unleashed unprecedented power. Had Alakazam not used Protect, it would have been severely damaged!

"meditation!"

Master Yu decided to add a buff, otherwise he would be at a great disadvantage when facing Mega Evolution.

"Water cannon, interrupt it!" Master Wang wouldn't just stand by and watch Hudi gain status, so he decisively gave the order.

"Get away!"

A water cannon, twice as thick as before, shot out, and Alakazam teleported away to dodge it.

The water cannon missed its target and hit the wall. With a cracking sound, large cracks appeared on the wall. If this indoor battle arena hadn't been specially built by Guyangzhou using special materials, the water cannon would have already pierced through the wall and triggered the alarm again.

"That's incredibly powerful!" Master Yu exclaimed, a bead of cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

She sensed that the power of Mega Blastoise's moves was no less than that of Entei, whom she had previously fought.

Blastoise's evil wave was almost as powerful as the sacred fire of Emperor Yan, causing the strong will of the Hu people to crumble upon contact.

Alakazam took advantage of the moment when it teleported to dodge the water cannon and successfully used Meditation.

"Predict future!"

With the boost from meditation, Alakazam's mental strength was briefly enhanced, increasing dramatically. A massive ball of psychic energy rose into the air, pierced through another dimension, and awaited its attack at some point in the future.

Master Wang frowned slightly. In a battle of this level, it was too difficult to defend against attacks that could be predicted in the future.

Furthermore, Alakazam's teleportation ability is also a problem, and we need to find a way to limit it.

"Blastoise, Tide Whirl!" Master Wang commanded.

Blastoise roared, and its three cannons simultaneously rose up, spraying out a large amount of water that instantly turned into a vortex that covered the entire area and began to spin at high speed.

Alakazam used his telekinesis to fly through the air, struggling to dodge the vortex's gaps.

"What a huge tidal vortex!" everyone exclaimed in amazement.

Within such an attack range, even if Alakazam can teleport, it will be difficult to dodge successfully. It might accidentally move into the vortex and then be defeated by Blastoise's powerful attack.

Master Yu tried to command Alakazam to use various moves to break the Whirlpool, but as soon as it was broken, Blastoise immediately replenished the water flow, giving Alakazam no chance at all.

"Spin at high speed!" Master Wang shouted the order.

Blastoise quickly retracted its limbs into its shell, and the giant cannon on its back also retracted. The entire shell began to spin rapidly, and the whirlpool on the field merged into it under the influence of the high-speed rotation, turning into a huge, high-speed spinning vortex. Countless water whips were whipping around the edge of the vortex, and it attacked Alakazam fiercely.

Alakazam teleported away, but the vortex was so huge that it left Alakazam with very little space.

Although Alakazam dodged the most direct attack, he was still hit by the water whip and flew out, crashing hard into the wall. It happened to be the spot where the water cannon had hit him, and the cracks in the wall widened, with fragments of stone falling down.

Gu Yangzhou's brows twitched involuntarily.

"Great opportunity, water cannon!"

Upon seeing this, Master Wang immediately gave an order.

Blastoise suddenly stopped, and the giant cannon on its back quickly extended, ready to unleash its water attack.

Just then, a ripple appeared in the air, and a ball of psychic energy suddenly appeared, crashing down towards Blastoise—the attack that foresaw the future had arrived!

"boom!"

Blastoise was using its water cannon and had no time to dodge. It was hit squarely by Future Sight and fell to the ground, its water cannon charge interrupted.

"That was close." Master Yu breathed a sigh of relief. If Hu Di had been hit by the water cannon, he probably wouldn't have been in good shape.

"Blastoise, are you alright?!" Master Wang shouted.

"Kame!" Blastoise stood up, swayed slightly, and then stood firmly.

Master Wang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that after Mega Evolution, Blastoise's defense had improved considerably, and with its hard shell, the damage from predicting the future wasn't as high as he had expected.

"Alright, use the water cannons!" Master Wang ordered.

Without the interference of precognition, Blastoise successfully launched its water cannon. However, Alakazam once again used Teleport to dodge it, and Master Wang couldn't help but click his tongue.

"To foresee..."

"Alright, that's enough!" Just as Master Yu gave the order, Gu Yangzhou suddenly spoke up loudly.

Everyone looked at him doubtfully.

“I’ve seen Blastoise’s power. It’s about time to fight it…” Gu Yangzhou said, his gaze falling on the wall, which was full of cracks and was shedding rubble.

Everyone noticed the condition of the wall and showed thoughtful expressions.

The walls here are made of a special material, an area specifically for Master-level Trainers, and now they've been wrecked like this by Blastoise's few Water Cannon shots...

It seems that what Master Wang said about Mega Blastoise surpassing Master level and possessing near-Legendary strength was indeed correct.

Chapter 271 The Experiment Ends, the Difficulties of Master Trainers

As the battle was confirmed to be over, Blastoise flashed with light and instantly returned to its normal form.

Blastoise curiously examined its own body, finding its evolution and regression quite novel;

Master Wang was in a bit of trouble. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground, groaning as he clutched his slightly dizzy head.

"Brother Wang, are you alright!" Master Yu was startled and quickly ran over to steady Master Wang.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little tired," Master Wang said.

Ye Feng frowned slightly; the result was not much different from his own perception.

While it may seem that a master-level trainer can support Mega Evolution without any problems, once the battle is over, the Pokémon is fine, but the trainer is completely out of commission.

Moreover, this was just an experimental battle, and it wasn't even over yet; if it were a formal battle, Master Wang probably wouldn't even last until the end.

The reason Ye Feng can now effortlessly Mega Evolve Gardevoir and engage in battles is because the three legendary mushrooms have awakened his psychic powers a second time. His mental strength is now comparable to that of a humanoid psychic Pokémon, a far cry from what it used to be.

As for the people here... Ye Feng glanced around and figured that only Master Yu could probably hold his own in a full battle without breaking a sweat; the others would be in serious trouble.

"This Mega Evolution really does consume a lot of mental energy," Master Wang said with a wry smile.

“This is indeed a problem.” Gu Yangzhou frowned. Although Mega Evolution significantly improves strength, it places too much burden on the trainer.

Apart from Master Yu, almost no one else in their generation had specifically trained their mental strength. Master Wang was able to successfully undergo Mega Evolution, probably thanks to his good physical and mental health, which he cultivated himself in his later years.

"Let's go back to the office and rest for a bit," Gu Yangzhou said.

"Let me do it." Master Ye, who was the strongest, took over from Master Wang.

"Thank you."

"Why are you so polite?"

After everyone returned to the office and sat down, the atmosphere became slightly somber.

The joy brought by Mega Evolution has been somewhat diminished by the problem of it placing too heavy a burden on trainers.

"It seems we have a new problem now." Gu Yangzhou glanced at everyone. "You all need to start strengthening your mental abilities, otherwise even if you find your Pokémon's Mega Stone, it won't really be a help."

"We need to prepare for the worst in the battle against the mythical beasts. The intensity of the battle will undoubtedly be greater than any of our previous battles, and most importantly, the duration will be longer."

"If Mega Evolution cannot be sustained for a sufficient period of time, then it is better not to use this power."

After listening and thinking for a moment, everyone nodded in agreement.

Indeed, if the time required for Mega Evolution is insufficient to sustain prolonged, high-intensity battles, then this power will become a burden; if a trainer loses their ability to battle due to excessive mental exertion, it means that a master-level trainer will be lost in the battle.

This is unimaginable.

It's important to understand that among humans today, the Master level is already the ceiling of strength, and they can be considered a force that can completely influence the course of a battle.

"Alas, though I hate to admit it, I'm afraid I can no longer use this power," Master Jing sighed. "I'm too old; even if I were to train, it probably wouldn't be of much use."

Everyone's expression tightened.

Master Jing is the oldest among them, over seventy years old this year, with white hair, and his mental state has long been declining.

If China hadn't been slow to produce a new generation of master-level trainers, he would have stayed in this position and retired long ago to enjoy a peaceful life.

"Old Jing..." Gu Yangzhou opened his mouth, but found himself at a loss for words. "Don't worry too much. The new generation is already growing. Isn't the national team captain hoping to become a master? And there are several other young people too..."

Time is a cruel mistress; no matter how spirited Master Jing was in his youth, at this age, he has begun to feel powerless.

Master Ye, who had always been Master Jing's rival, remained silent at this moment.
