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

Ye Feng scratched his head sheepishly. He hadn't told him about Mega Evolution, and he wondered if he'd be held responsible later...

The originally noisy venue fell silent as soon as Gu Yangzhou entered. All eyes instantly fell on him, filled with a variety of emotions. Ye Feng felt a chill and quickly withdrew his mental energy that he had been releasing outward due to nervousness.

All eyes followed Gu Yangzhou as he took his seat, and then everyone stood up in surprise.

Ye Feng, who had been following behind, was assumed by everyone to be Gu Yangzhou's secretary or something similar, but unexpectedly he was now sitting in the central seat, with Gu Yangzhou sitting next to him.

The three masters stood behind Ye Feng with their arms crossed, seemingly protecting him.

"Who is that?"

"You look so young!"

"Isn't that Chairman Gu's secretary? Why is he sitting there?"

"···"

The meeting room, which had just quieted down, was suddenly filled with discussion again, as everyone was talking about Ye Feng's identity.

"Little Ye, it's been a long time." Zhao Hongshuo sat on the other side of Guyangzhou and waved to Ye Feng across the Guyangzhou.

"Ah, Minister Zhao, it's been a long time!" Ye Feng said hurriedly.

"Hehe, relax, you're the star today," Zhao Hongshuo said with a smile.

"Um... um!" Ye Feng scratched his head sheepishly.

Ye Feng suddenly noticed a sharp gaze fixed on him. He turned around and saw Deng Ruizhe looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.

"teacher···"

"Hmm..." Deng Ruizhe nodded without saying anything.

"..." Ye Feng immediately tensed up. Oh no, the teacher was really angry.

“Not bad,” Deng Ruizhe suddenly said.

"Huh?" Ye Feng was taken aback. Before he could think further, Gu Yangzhou suddenly nudged him with his elbow.

Ye Feng quickly sat up straight.

Gu Yangzhou cleared his throat and stood up: "Everyone!"

The room fell silent immediately, to the point where you could hear a pin drop.

"The purpose of holding this press conference today is clear to everyone. That's right, it's for the Mega Evolution that our Chinese team will use in the Masters Tournament!"

"···"

Gu Yangzhou began the press conference as if reading from a prepared script.

"We have prepared materials in advance regarding the general introduction to Mega Evolution. Please look at the screens on your seats," Gu Yangzhou said.

Everyone skillfully turned on the screens on their seats and quickly began to look at the information.

"This is Mega Evolution? Surpassing the limits of Pokémon..."

"Amazing!"

"!!"

As everyone looked at the information, they exclaimed in amazement. Although Gu Yangzhou only provided simple information, those present had already watched the Master Tournament matches countless times and had long yearned for Mega Evolution.

Seeing the official information now still feels incredibly shocking.

"Next, we would like to invite Ye Feng, the discoverer of Mega Evolution, to give us a detailed introduction to Mega Evolution."

After Gu Yangzhou finished speaking, he nodded to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng swallowed hard, picked up the paper he had prepared beforehand, and before he could even stand up, all eyes in the hall suddenly turned to him.

Ye Feng suddenly felt as if he were being stared at by a dozen Phoenix Kings, and the pressure was immense.

"Relax." Gu Yangzhou patted Ye Feng on the shoulder.

Ye Feng nodded, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and got up to walk towards the podium.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, just treat them like Slowpoke..." Ye Feng muttered to himself as he walked.

By constantly hypnotizing himself like this, Ye Feng actually felt less nervous. Everyone in the venue seemed to have turned into silly monsters, staring blankly at him.

Indeed, this was the case. When they heard Gu Yangzhou say that Ye Feng was the discoverer of Mega Evolution, the masters and quasi-masters seemed to turn into Slowpokes, speechless and just staring blankly at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng almost burst out laughing.

"Ahem!" Ye Feng stood on the podium, cleared his throat, and began, "Hello everyone, my name is Ye Feng. As the guild leader said, I'm the one who discovered Mega Evolution..."

"The opportunity to discover it came about was when I accidentally obtained a Key Stone and a Mega Stone..." Ye Feng said, taking out his Key Stone and Gardevoir's Mega Stone to show to everyone.

"The evolution we know so far is the evolution of Pokémon, either with the help of evolution stones, or under some special conditions—such as Sylveon, Espeon, or some special items."

This is actually similar to the developmental stages of humans, such as infancy, adolescence, and adulthood. We can consider this evolutionary process as an external manifestation of elves reaching a certain stage of growth.

"However, because of different species, this manifestation varies."

"Mega evolution surpasses the current limits of Pokémon evolution, requiring a strong bond between the Pokémon and its trainer, and aided by Key Stones and Mega Stones to achieve an even further evolution..."

"Through my research, I discovered that some Pokémon possess hidden potential that cannot be unlocked through conventional evolution. Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to temporarily unleash this potential, unleashing power that cannot be obtained through conventional evolution..."

"A Pokémon that undergoes Mega Evolution will have its base stats... ah, that means its maximum potential, greatly increased, and its attributes and abilities may also change..."

"The simplest example is the Pokémon of our Chinese masters. Originally, it was at the master level, but after Mega Evolution, it gained strength surpassing the master level. Let's call this level quasi-legendary..."

"···"

"Mega evolution doesn't only happen to a few Pokémon. Alakazam, Blastoise, and Tyranitar can do it, as can my Gardevoir, Gyarados, and Aggron. Of course, all of you here, your Pokémon could potentially undergo Mega Evolution..."

"Whether it's a powerful Pokémon like Garchomp or a weak one like Beedrill, it's possible..."

···

Ye Feng spoke slowly and deliberately, and the entire venue was completely silent. Everyone below slowed their breathing, afraid that they would miss a single word or sentence from Ye Feng if they breathed too loudly.

Ye Feng didn't know how long he had been talking. Empty bottles were piled up at his feet, but he still felt thirsty and his voice was a little hoarse.

Fortunately, the speech finally came to an end.

Ye Feng took a deep breath and delivered the closing remarks that he and the others had come up with together.

"Just as we said at the Masters Tournament, China will stand at the pinnacle of the world—no, it already has; and I stand here to usher in a new era for this world..."

"An era beyond evolution"

Chapter 364 The Energy Cube was also invented by me.

The audience was silent.

It's unclear whether these people were still immersed in Mega Evolution or were simply stunned by Ye Feng's final words.

Ye Feng let out a long sigh of relief and slowly walked back to his seat. He had been talking for so long that he felt like he was suffocating and his head was spinning.

"That was a good speech." Gu Yangzhou nodded at Ye Feng with satisfaction.

"Xiao Ye, you have a real talent for public speaking. How about you consider working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after graduation?" Zhao Hongshuo said with a smile.

"Minister Zhao, please don't joke with me. I was just reading from the paper." Ye Feng was both amused and exasperated. What was this all about? If you wanted me to do research, I could at least pretend, but diplomacy? Forget about it.

My major doesn't match my job!

Zhao Hongshuo smiled and didn't say anything more; he was indeed joking.

Tan Zhengxu glanced at the documents in his hand and gestured to Gu Yangzhou.

Gu Yangzhou nodded knowingly, stood up, and said loudly, "Everyone, I think you all have a general understanding of Mega Evolution. Next is the Q&A session, and we will try our best to answer your questions within the permitted scope."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised their hand, and Gu Yangzhou gestured for them to proceed.

The person who raised their hand stood up, glanced at the notebook in their hand, adjusted their glasses, and said, "I would like to ask... Dr. Ye, is it true that Mega Evolution is not something that only a few Pokémon can do?"

Ye Feng was taken aback. A doctor? He couldn't help but glance at Gu Yangzhou, who nodded with his eyes half-closed.

Seeing that Gu Yangzhou did not object, Ye Feng temporarily accepted the title.

"That's right. As I just said, every Pokémon has enormous potential hidden within it. Although it hasn't been discovered yet, theoretically, all Pokémon can Mega Evolve."

"Just like elves, don't they also appear gradually?"

"You mean... even a caterpillar would be acceptable?" the man continued to ask.

Ye Feng shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. Only when a Pokémon evolves to its final stage and its shallow power has been fully developed can its hidden potential be further unleashed. After all, you have to eat one bite at a time."

"Does a Pokémon's Mega Evolution require a Key Stone or a Mega Stone? Can't it be achieved by unleashing its potential through its own power?" another person asked, raising their hand.

Ye Feng was slightly startled. Mega Evolution had just been announced, and someone had already thought of autonomous Mega Evolution? No wonder they were the most elite trainers from various countries.

But he said nonchalantly, "I've thought of that too. But I've tried countless times and searched for all sorts of spirits... unfortunately, I haven't found one yet."

The man sat down in disappointment.

"But the world is vast, and there are still many Pokémon that we haven't discovered yet. Perhaps one day we'll see Pokémon that can Mega Evolve without Key Stones and Mega Stones," Ye Feng added.

He didn't make any definitive statements.

Evolution without the aid of Key Stones and Mega Stones should indeed be Bond Evolution.

But he has no clue what to do now, and the only one who could possibly do it, Arcanine, has not made any moves since then.
