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

Although these two Pokémon can gain a speed boost in sunny weather thanks to their chlorophyll ability, their inherent stats make their combat strength less than ideal. Faced with Articuno's offensive, despite the cover provided by other Pokémon, they eventually lost their ability to battle after holding out for a while.

"This won't do." Ye Feng frowned as he analyzed the battle situation. Although he hadn't reached legendary level, a near-legendary level was enough to overwhelm the Pokémon that were only at the high-level.

"Do you have a solution?" Zhang Qiang asked.

He could tell from Ye Feng's tone that he wasn't in a hurry.

"Let me show you a big treasure." Ye Feng smiled and took out his keystone.

"What is this?" Zhang Qiang couldn't help but glance at the same keystone in his hand.

"The one I have is called a Key Stone, while the one Gardevoir carries is a Mega Stone," Ye Feng said.

"Key Stone? Mega Stone?" Zhang Qiang repeated the name he had first heard in a low voice, glancing at the one on Charizard. Although it was a different color, it should be the Mega Stone Ye Feng was talking about.

"That's right. With the help of these two gems, Pokémon can break through their current limits and evolve even further beyond their current evolutionary stage," Ye Feng shouted with high spirits.

Zhang Qiang's pupils contracted. He understood every word Ye Feng said, but when put together, he didn't quite get it: breaking limits, surpassing... evolution?

"Just watch, Zhang Qiang, this is a discovery that could shake up the world of Pokémon studies."

Ye Feng raised his right hand, and the keystone began to emit a dazzling light.

Zhang Qiang's eyes widened.

"Gardevoir, Mega Evolve!"

As Ye Feng finished speaking, the light of evolution quickly enveloped Gardevoir, and Gardevoir's form also changed rapidly.

Zhang Qiang was completely dumbfounded, his stunned expression even more exaggerated than Gu Yangzhou's when he witnessed Mega Evolution for the first time.

As a mysterious symbol flashed by, Gardevoir, its appearance drastically changed, appeared in the center of the arena. At the same time, a powerful burst of psychic energy erupted, stirring up large swaths of snow, and the light of its evolution shattered.

Snowflakes and specks of light fell simultaneously, fluttering and swirling, creating a beautiful scene when combined with the Mega Gardevoir dressed in an evening gown.

The appearance of Mega Gardevoir immediately attracted Articuno's attention, and Articuno took the opportunity to shoot a beam of Ice Beam at it.

Mega Gardevoir raised its hand, and the psychic barrier "Solid" blocked the attack of the Ice Beam, instantly covered with a thick layer of ice.

"M... Mega Evolution? Master level?" Zhang Qiang's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“That’s right.” Ye Feng smiled and looked at Zhang Qiang, “Your Charizard can do it too.”

Zhang Qiang's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but glance at the Key Stone and the Charizard Mega Stone in his hand: "Charizard too?"

"What do we do?" Zhang Qiang asked, his breathing rapid.

"It's very simple, just do it the way I just did. I believe in the bond between you and Charizard," Ye Feng said.

“A bond?” Zhang Qiang murmured.

Although I don't know why Ye Feng suddenly mentioned bonds, is there any connection between Mega Evolution and bonds?

But since we've brought up bonds, is there any need to doubt the bond between myself and Charizard?

"Charizard!" Zhang Qiang imitated Ye Feng and raised the Key Stone.

"Roar!" The Charizard roared in response, flapping its wings and coming in front of Zhang Qiang.

"Mega evolution?" Zhang Qiang rubbed the Key Stone in his hand, and the Key Stone began to glow. "Then let me see it."

"Let the world witness our bond, respond to my heart, and transcend evolution!"

"Charizard, Mega Evolution!"

"Roar!"

Chapter 323 Cooperative Battle

Zhang Qiang looks pretty serious, but he's actually a bit of a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur). Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh as he listened to Zhang Qiang's self-taught Mega Evolution lines.

It's just a bit short.

As soon as Zhang Qiang finished speaking, the Key Stone and Mega Stone burst forth with dazzling light, and the light of evolution enveloped Charizard, causing Charizard's body to rapidly change.

As the light dissipated into specks, a mysterious symbol flashed by, and the Mega Charizard Y, with its drastically changed appearance, appeared before the two.

"Roar!" With a roar, rings of sound waves exploded from Charizard's body, and at the same time, Mega Charizard Y opened its mouth and spat out a ball of light towards the sky.

The area had already been cleared up by Nine-Tails' attack, but Zhang Qiang wondered if it was just his imagination, but the clear sky effect created by the ball of light that Charizard spat out seemed to be even better than that created by Nine-Tails.

"This is... Sunlight?" Zhang Qiang was taken aback. This was the same way Nine-Tails behaved, and it was obviously the effect of the Sunlight ability.

But he knew very well that his Charizard's ability was Blaze. Could it be that the ability changed after Mega Evolution?

“After Mega Evolution, some Pokémon’s traits will change,” Ye Feng said.

"Just as I thought." Zhang Qiang nodded and looked at Mega Charizard Y.

Mega Charizard Y's body color is not much different from its original appearance, but its body is not as round as before and has become much thinner;

A third, even longer horn grew from between the two horns at the back of his head, and the ends of the three horns were like sharp spikes.

Its neck and mouth have become much shorter, while its limbs, tail and wings have become longer, and small wings have grown on its wrists, giving it a powerful look.

The edges of the wings on its back became more irregular, and three small spikes grew from the end of its tail. There was also a rather long spike on its back, about the position of its rump.

Overall, it gives people a sharp and edgy feeling.

"This is... Mega Evolution?" Zhang Qiang murmured. "It actually crossed the threshold of the Master level..."

“That’s right.” Ye Feng nodded.

"You bastard, you actually had such a powerful trump card hidden away?" Zhang Qiang glared at Ye Feng.

"Hehe," Ye Feng chuckled smugly, "This is still a confidential matter. I'm entrusting it to you at the risk of being punished by the president. You absolutely cannot tell anyone else."

"Tch..." Zhang Qiang curled his lip. Even the president knows?

Never mind for now, Zhang Qiang turned his gaze to Articuno.

The commotion of two consecutive Mega Evolutions drew everyone's attention, and the battle on the other side temporarily ceased as everyone watched this scene.

"Let me test this power." Zhang Qiang clenched his fist. "Go, Charizard, unleash your flames!"

Charizard flapped its wings, creating a wave of snow, and then charged towards Articuno like a bullet.

The articulated bird flapped its wings and took flight quickly through the air.

Charizard opened its mouth, and scorching energy rapidly gathered inside, transforming into a thick flame that shot towards Articuno.

Articuno flapped its wings sharply, narrowly dodging the attack of the flames, but its tail was still grazed, leaving a dark mark.

Articuno angrily opened its beak and fired a freezing beam at Charizard, which flapped its wings to dodge the attack.

Articuno looked at Charizard with a solemn expression. It could sense that after Charizard's appearance changed drastically, its strength had increased by more than a little bit.

Although it was still quite far behind its own level, the power of its jet flames was enough to make it feel uneasy, and its flight ability was also much stronger than before.

"Mega Charizard Y, while its flying ability is enhanced, it is also more adept at special attack moves, you should be able to feel that, right?" Ye Feng said.

"Yes, the power of the jet flame has increased significantly." Zhang Qiang nodded, then suddenly realized something. "You said Y? Why the letter?"

"Charizard has two Mega Evolution forms: X-Movement and Y-Movement. Although X-Movement excels in both physical and special attacks, making it a mixed attacker, Y-Movement, which specializes in special attacks, is more suitable for your Charizard," Ye Feng explained, fiddling with the blue-black Mega Stone in his hand.

"Is that so..." Zhang Qiang nodded thoughtfully. His Charizard mainly mastered special attack moves. Some physical attack moves, such as Dragon Claw, were only learned to broaden its coverage. "Then the Y form is indeed more suitable for me."

“That’s right. Even if you had just chosen stone X, I would still advise you to take stone Y,” Ye Feng said.

"Alright, enough chit-chat, let's deal with Articuno." Ye Feng put away the other Mega Stone; he'd give it to Shang Yixue another time.

Zhang Qiang nodded, his gaze fixed intently on the Charizard that was constantly exchanging fire with Articuno.

"Gardevoir and Gengar, attack together! Everyone else, step back for now!" Ye Feng shouted, waving his hand.

Three master-level Pokémon working together shouldn't have much of a problem dealing with a near-legendary Articuno.

Not to mention Charizard's various fire-type moves, Gardevoir also possesses the even more powerful Fireball and Thunderball, both of which can counter Charizard. Oh, and Gengar can also use Thunder.

Charizard flapped its wings and flew in the lead; Gengar and Gardevoir followed behind, using psychic powers to half-fly and half-levitate, at a slightly slower pace.

"Fire-breathing dragon, heat wave!" Zhang Qiang shouted the order.

Charizard opened its mouth and spewed out hot air. The originally translucent fire hurricane gained tremendous power after Mega Evolution, and its range also expanded greatly, enveloping Articuno like a storm.

Articuno dashed left and right, trying to escape the heatwave, only to find that every direction was filled with heatwaves. After finally getting out of the heatwave's range, it was met with a Gengar's Shadow Ball and a Gardevoir's Fireball.

Articuno opened its beak and fired an Ice Beam, a sweeping attack that hit both Shadow Ball and Fireball simultaneously, causing a violent explosion.

"Focus your mind and hold on to it!" Ye Feng shouted.

A flash of blue light appeared in Gardevoir's eyes, and a surge of violent psychic energy erupted as it reached out to grab Articuno.

Articuno quickly flapped its wings to leave the spot, its telekinetic grab missed, and it turned a corner to chase after it.

Gengar suddenly appeared in front of Articuno, its eyes flashing with an eerie purple light. Caught off guard, Articuno made eye contact with Gengar and immediately felt a wave of fatigue wash over it, causing its movements to slow down considerably. It quickly turned around, but Gardevoir, with its eyes glowing blue, teleported in front of it as well.

Two consecutive hypnotic moves successfully put Articuno into a brief sleep.

"Thunder! Fireball!"

"Spray flames!"

Ye Feng and Zhang Qiang seized this rare opportunity and gave orders at the same time.

The three attacks struck Articuno instantly, and Articuno let out a mournful cry as it fell to the ground.
