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

So the two began bidding against each other.

Everyone present stared at the two of them in disbelief—were these two crazy? But they were also really rich.

The mature auctioneer was stunned on the stage. In all her years of hosting auctions, this was the first time she had ever encountered a prop whose price had been driven up so high.

In the end, Gu Ruyun gave up.

Unfortunately, although she has a grandfather who is the president of the association, Gu Yangzhou, as the president, undoubtedly has more considerations and concerns than Ye Hongsheng.

Although girls should be raised in comfort, in order to prevent Gu Ruyun from picking up bad habits, Gu Yangzhou did not give her an unlimited credit card like Ye Hongsheng did, and almost every large expenditure had to be documented in detail.

Half of the money on Gu Ruyun's card was earned by herself after becoming a senior trainer.

Although they applied for a considerable amount of funding from Gu Yangzhou to film "Heart Drop," it was still a little less than what Ye Feng had.

"Ye Feng! You're finished!" Gu Ruyun gritted her teeth and stared at the back of Ye Feng's head—she was sitting a few seats behind Ye Feng.

Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He knew very well that Gu Ruyun was glaring at him—if looks could kill, he would probably be torn to pieces by now.

But there's no way around it; the drop of water from his heart is extremely important in every way, and he can't possibly give it up to someone else.

As the auctioneer, a mature and elegant woman, struck the gavel for the third time, the Heart Drop officially became Ye Feng's property.

The auction continues.

Ye Feng lost interest in the next few items, leaving only the mysterious ring as the only remaining item.

Soon, the ring was also brought up.

"The next item is rather special," the mature auctioneer said, lifting the red cloth to reveal a golden ring standing upright on the plate.

"This ring was also found in this S-level secret realm, but we haven't been able to test its specific function. We've only detected that it contains super-powerful attribute energy comparable to that of a master."

The mature-looking auctioneer gave a brief introduction.

However, although this ring is mysterious, compared to other auction items with clear uses, especially the Heart Drop, its quality drops significantly. Only the super-powerful energy inside is somewhat eye-catching.

Therefore, the starting price is not high.

Ye Feng acquired them at a price far lower than he expected—mainly because Ye Feng had made all the previous bids, and everyone else lost interest in competing after seeing Ye Feng make a bid and testing the waters a few times.

Having captured the heart-shaped droplet and the mysterious ring, Ye Feng had achieved his goal in coming here.

After watching for a while, Ye Feng got up and went backstage, ready to pay and leave with his things.

Seeing Ye Feng leave, Gu Ruyun pouted and followed him. She had come here specifically for the Heart's Water Drop.

Now that Ye Feng has taken the Heart Drop, there's no point in her staying any longer.

After Ye Feng finished the transaction and obtained his resources and items, he dumped them all on Gengar and then sneaked out through the back door—he remembered that Gu Ruyun was probably waiting for him at the main gate.

"As expected, I knew you would leave from here."

As soon as Ye Feng stepped out the back door, a mocking voice rang in his ears.

Ye Feng froze, turned his head, and saw Gu Ruyun staring at him with wide eyes.

"Yo...isn't this our Miss Gu!" Ye Feng greeted her, while his eyes darted around, searching for an escape route.

"Don't even think about running away!" Gu Ruyun raised an eyebrow.

Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw Garchomp blocking the only escape route with its hands raised, and its last toe gleamed coldly in the sunlight.

Hiss! Ye Feng felt a chill run down his spine.

Gardevoir jumped out and confronted Garchomp.

"Young Miss, calm down! I won the Heart Drop through a legitimate bidding process. You're not trying to steal it, are you?" Ye Feng exclaimed.

"How could I do something so tasteless!" Gu Ruyun rolled her eyes. Did she look that petty?

She was just upset that Ye Feng had taken away what she wanted; any girl would feel that way!

"Let's have another match, Ye Feng! I won't lose this time!" Gu Ruyun clenched her fist, and Garchomp roared in response.

"Alright." Ye Feng scratched his head; it seemed he couldn't escape this battle.

···

"Damn it! I won't lose next time! Once I get Garchomp's Mega Stone..." Gu Ruyun looked away from the Garchomp that was spinning around, tossed her long hair, and walked away without looking back.

Ye Feng scratched his cheek.

Miss, even if your Garchomp Mega Evolves, it probably still won't be a match for my Mega Gardevoir.

Chapter 285 The Effect of the Heart Drop

Ye Feng returned to Imperial University, having made quite a profit from the auction.

Not only did they successfully obtain the Heart Drop and the Mysterious Ring, but they also bought a lot of suitable resources for the elves.

It's Arena 3 again.

After distributing the resources to the Pokémon and letting them absorb them on their own, Ye Feng led Gardevoir to an open space and sat down.

The Heart Drop and the Mysterious Ring lay quietly in front of Ye Feng.

Ignoring the Mysterious Ring for now, the Heart Drop is an item whose function is already clearly defined.

Ye Feng stroked his chin and picked up the Heart Drop: "How do I use this?"

According to the expert assessment provided at the auction, Pokémon holding a Heart Drop can enhance the power of Psychic and Dragon-type moves.

"Let's try it on first."

Ye Feng gave the Heart Drop to Gardevoir and asked it to try using a Psychic-type move to attack the indestructible target. A data cable was attached to the target and connected to a computer, which could provide feedback on the power of the move based on the impact the target received.

Starting with the most basic psychic power, I tested the difference between having and not having the Heart Drop technique, according to the power of each move from low to high.

Telekinesis, illusionary beams, mental shock, psychic power, telekinetic spheres...

According to the data collected by the target, the Heart Drop does indeed increase the power of Psychic-type moves by about 20%, with slight fluctuations but the error is within an acceptable range.

In addition, the power of the Dragon Balls and the Spiral Balls, which possess the Dragon attribute, has also been increased.

Ye Feng also took the opportunity to test out the Fairy-type move, Enchanted Voice. Besides controlling the opponent's Pokémon, Enchanted Voice can also gather Fairy-type energy and turn it into sound waves for attack. Thanks to this move, Gardevoir also mastered the move Hyper Voice.

The move Hyper Voice is incredibly powerful. After Gardevoir Mega Evolves, thanks to its Fairy Skin ability, it can transform this Normal-type move into a Fairy-type move. One Hyper Voice can knock out a large number of Dragon-type Pokémon...

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

They also tested Magic Dazzle, Moon Power, and Fairy Ball.

However, Heart Drops did not improve these moves.

It seems that Ye Feng's conjecture that Heart Drops increases the power of moves by enhancing the Pokémon's mental strength is wrong; it simply strengthens the Psychic and Dragon types.

However, Ye Feng originally thought that Heart Drop was an exclusive item for Latios and Latias, but now Gardevoir can also use it.

what does this mean?

Is it supposed to be an exclusive item, not restricting Pokémon, but usable by all Pokémon? But that doesn't make sense. As far as Ye Feng knows, only Pikachu can use the Electric Orb; other Electric-type Pokémon don't receive any boost when they hold it.

With this question in mind, Ye Feng summoned Kingdra and Togekiss, and had them test Dragon and Psychic-type moves with Heart Drops, discovering that their power had also increased.

What's the principle behind this? Ye Feng stroked his chin, pondering.

Could it be because this is the crystallization of the souls of Latios and Latias, and these legendary spirit items are more advanced, thus having better compatibility?

Electric beads are relatively basic, so only Pikachu can use them?

Or perhaps... this Heart Drop is just a similar-sounding name and appearance, and is not actually an exclusive item for Latios and Latias?

This makes sense, since Latios and Latias would definitely protect something so precious and wouldn't easily lose it to a human trainer... unless something unexpected happens to them.

However, Ye Feng can only think about it now, since without two legendary Pokémon, he has no way to verify this idea.

Perhaps we can ask Mew or Ho-Oh to resolve this mystery later.

Setting aside the Heart Drop, Ye Feng looked at another prop—the Mysterious Ring.

This ring is about the size of Ye Feng's head, and it fits perfectly (not really).

"Could this be Hoopa's scooping ring?" Ye Feng observed the mysterious ring, but couldn't make out anything.

He could sense that the ring contained abundant psychic energy, enough to rival the energy intensity of a Mega Gardevoir.

If Gardevoir absorbs the energy inside... would it have a chance to break through to Master level?

Ye Feng stroked his chin, pondering the feasibility of the plan.

However, let's try this ring first to see if it has any special effects, such as increasing the power of certain attribute moves.

Ye Feng looked at the ring hanging diagonally on Gardevoir's shoulder and couldn't help but laugh as he put the ring on Gardevoir's shoulder again.

Gardevoir is quite slender, so this ring can only be worn as a shoulder strap, not a necklace.

Gardevoir rolled its eyes inwardly. Why bother hanging it up? Holding it in its hand is just as good. It turned around and started testing the effect of attacking the target with its moves.

Ye Feng watched as Gardevoir attacked the target with Spiral Balls of different types, and nodded to himself. Gardevoir, which could use Spiral Balls of all types, seemed very suitable for this kind of experiment.

Thanks to its mastery of the all-type Spiral Ball, Gardevoir seems to be able to easily learn moves other than Psychic and Fairy types.

Moreover, it's not limited to moves that Gardevoir can theoretically learn, such as Fire, Ice, and Thunder punches, Magic Leaf, Mega Punch, Icy Wind, and various other moves.

However, Ye Feng did not intend to do so, excluding some physical attack moves—Ye Feng's Gardevoir was very good at energy attack moves, but really not good at physical attacks.
