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

Moreover, Ye Feng discovered that supporting Mega Evolution wasn't as demanding for others as he had imagined; basically, advanced trainers could meet the basic requirements.

Perhaps trainers will unconsciously be influenced by their Pokémon while raising them, thus enhancing their mental strength? With the mental strength training currently being promoted in Guyangzhou, mental strength should no longer be a problem in the future.

But when I first Mega Evolved Gardevoir, I fainted!

Ye Feng guessed that one reason might be that his strength was too weak back then.

Perhaps it's because their souls are from another world, making them somewhat different from the natives? Mew and Ho-Oh have mentioned before that their souls are different from the people of this world.

Well, that's all in the past. For Ye Feng now, Mega Evolution is no longer a problem; it's just that evolving two Pokémon at the same time is still a bit difficult.

Xiao Yichen nodded vigorously, walked to the center of the field with excitement, and took out a Poké Ball: "Come out, Blaziken."

"Whoa!" Blaziken reappeared on the field with great momentum, though some of the wounds on its body somewhat affected its appearance.

"Blizzard, do you remember Gardevoir's Mega Evolution just now?" Xiao Yichen asked.

Blaziken's eyes flickered. It naturally remembered that during the battle just now, Gardevoir, which was originally much weaker than itself, was able to fight it on equal terms after Mega Evolution.

"You can do it too, Blaziken." Xiao Yichen tossed the Mega Stone to Blaziken.

Blaziken pinched the Mega Stone with its claws and examined it curiously. To its surprise, it discovered a faint but somewhat exciting energy emanating from the Mega Stone.

"Blazing Chicken!" Xiao Yichen shouted.

"Whoa!" Blaziken realized what was happening and quickly responded loudly.

"!" Ye Feng suddenly realized something and reached out to stop him, but it was too late.

"Mega evolution!"

As Xiao Yichen finished speaking, the Key Stone and Mega Stone suddenly burst forth with dazzling light. The powerful energy transformed into chains that linked the trainer and the Pokémon together, and the light of evolution instantly enveloped Blaziken.

"Huh?" Gu Yangzhou was taken aback and looked at Ye Feng with some confusion.

Ye Feng awkwardly turned his face away.

As the light of evolution shone, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from the light.

"Whoa!" With a loud shout, the light of evolution shattered and turned into starlight that fell from the sky. Blaziken, with its appearance drastically changed, appeared in front of everyone.

The Blaziken, originally a red and yellow bird, has transformed into a red and black sprite, wearing a white feather vest; its long white hair has turned into two wings that stand upright; and the bandages on its wrists have disappeared, turning into two long, fiery ribbons.

With its taut, muscular legs, Gardevoir looked even stronger than before its evolution. Ye Feng doubted whether Gardevoir could still withstand its Flame Kick with its sturdy legs.

Surrounding Blaziken was a ring of intense fire energy. With a loud shout, Blaziken kicked out into the air, and the energy rapidly converged towards its leg, merging into it in the blink of an eye.

"Whoa!" Blaziken leaped up and delivered what looked like a simple flying kick to the ground.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise.

The violent explosion created a hurricane, and smoke and dust instantly enveloped the area.

"I boil it!"

"What is that, a flame kick? It's that exaggerated?"

As they shielded themselves from the dust with their arms, the crowd exclaimed in amazement.

Xiao Yichen's eyes also gleamed with admiration.

As the smoke cleared, everyone was astonished to find a huge crater in the center of the arena, while Mega Blaziken stood calmly at the bottom of the crater, looking up at the sky.

"So powerful! Is this Mega Evolution?" Xiao Yichen's eyes widened slightly.

Ye Feng swallowed hard. Damn, although this was an awesome attack that even a Master-level Pokémon could use once after Mega Evolution, Xiao Yichen's Blaziken was just too overpowered! It was even stronger than Master Wang and Master Yu's Blastoise and Alakazam.

Unfortunately, before Xiao Yichen could be happy for long, Blaziken's body flashed with light and it reverted to Mega Evolution in the blink of an eye.

"Ah, this..." Xiao Yichen was stunned and subconsciously looked at Ye Feng.

It's strong, but the time seems too short?

"Mega evolution consumes a lot of stamina. Blaziken just went through a battle and hasn't recovered its stamina yet. Plus, it's its first evolution and it's not very skilled at it, so it's normal that it took a short time," Ye Feng explained, rubbing his nose.

Since Ye Feng, the discoverer of Mega Evolution, had said so, Xiao Yichen found it very reasonable and breathed a sigh of relief.

If Mega Evolution only allows Blaziken to use one move, although it seems like it can instantly kill the opponent, it might not be able to hit the target against an enemy like Gardevoir.

Mega Evolution has become useless.

Fortunately, he was just overthinking it.

Gu Yangzhou was busy with many affairs, and he left immediately after seeing Xiao Yichen successfully use Mega Evolution.

Xiao Yichen dismissed his teammates and took Ye Feng back to his residence.

Ye Feng sat upright on the sofa, knowing that Xiao Yichen was about to tell him the secret to breaking through to the master level.

"You don't need to be so... um, nervous." Xiao Yichen brought over two cups of coffee, and seeing Ye Feng's expression, he was both amused and exasperated.

"Oh," Ye Feng replied, relaxing slightly.

Xiao Yichen handed a cup to Ye Feng and then sat down himself.

"Actually, the method to break through to the master level isn't a secret, it's just that it's not suitable for most people and is very dangerous, so it hasn't been widely circulated," Xiao Yichen said.

"Very dangerous?" Ye Feng was taken aback.

"Hmm." Xiao Yichen nodded. "When I was your age, elves weren't nearly as strong. I'm pretty sure your future achievements will surpass mine, which is why I didn't plan to tell you at first."

Ye Feng blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed by such praise from a universally acknowledged super genius in China.

Xiao Yichen smiled and continued, "After going through a life-or-death test, as long as you can get through it, the elf's strength will improve by leaps and bounds. With your current state, breaking through to the Master level is not a problem."

"A test of life and death?" Ye Feng's eyes widened slightly.

“That’s right.” Xiao Yichen nodded.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment.

So, when Kirlia faced Drapion, although Gengar secretly ensured her safety, she did indeed teeter on the edge of life and death, and it was during that encounter that she evolved into Gardevoir.

Thinking of Yveltal, Ye Feng simultaneously Mega Evolved two Pokémon at the same time for the first time, with Gyarados even evolving without the aid of a Mega Stone... although it came at the cost of a Broken Key Stone.

besides···

Could it be that Xiao Yichen's method is actually feasible?

but···

Ye Feng later experienced several major crises, but he never achieved such a breakthrough again.

Ye Feng voiced his doubts, but of course omitted some details that couldn't be easily shared with outsiders.

Xiao Yichen pondered for a moment and said, "Although these are indeed some major crises, think carefully, are you really in a desperate situation?"

Ye Feng was stunned.

Now that you mention it, it does seem to be true.

Since the Pokémon's strength has reached the high ceiling one by one, and with the ability to Mega Evolution, they can have Master-level combat power at any time. In this world, Master-level is enough to deal with most situations, and those that are not so easy to deal with are not so easy to encounter.

It seems that Ye Feng hasn't faced a life-or-death crisis in a long time.

Even the Hoopa and the Black Elf I encountered recently are the same.

Hoopa had Mew to deal with it, and the Black Elf's strength hadn't recovered; it was only a legendary-level power slightly stronger than Entei, and its Psychic-type moves were sealed. Ye Feng's main objective at the time was to escape...

"I understand." Ye Feng nodded.

"However, don't be too hasty. Master-level is within your grasp," Xiao Yichen advised. "This method is extremely dangerous. What if something goes wrong..."

"Captain Xiao, I know what I'm doing, don't worry," Ye Feng said with a smile.

"Alright." Xiao Yichen nodded, trusting that Ye Feng wasn't the kind of person who didn't know his place.

···

Back in the World Tree Secret Realm, Ye Feng sat on a tree and pondered for an entire afternoon before finally making up his mind.

He went inside the World Tree, left Gengar, the Key Stone, and the Mega Stone behind, and then left with the remaining Pokémon and enough supplies.

Ye Feng is preparing to travel to an S-rank secret realm for a true trial.

Chapter 377 Large-scale S-class secret realm, codenamed Island

The Pacific Ocean.

It is the world's largest, deepest, and most numerous marginal seas and islands, located between Asia, Oceania, Antarctica, and North and South America.

The ocean has always been shrouded in mystery, containing countless resources and secrets that have yet to be fully explored by humankind over thousands of years.

Since the first Mystic Realm appeared, the ocean region has been a frequent location for Mystic Realms to appear, ranging from the lowest level D to the most dangerous level S, and there are even forbidden areas.

Remember Groudon and Kyogre who fought fiercely in the Pacific Ocean? Perhaps influenced by the residual energy from their battle, a large S-rank secret realm suddenly appeared a few days ago in the western Pacific Ocean, near the Asian continent.

The arrival of a large-scale secret realm represents countless resources and opportunities; and the S-level danger level also means that the elves in the secret realm are likely to possess master-level strength.

According to information brought back by advance teams from various countries, there are five huge islands in the secret realm, with four smaller islands surrounding a larger one—hence the code name for this secret realm is "The Island." On the four smaller islands, the advance teams discovered a large number of Pokémon, some of which could be found in the database, and many others that had never appeared before.

Among them, some elves were exceptionally large and their entire bodies were covered by an aura never seen before.

Based on data from some known types of Pokémon, these giant Pokémon are significantly stronger than ordinary Pokémon of the same level, but they are no different in terms of attributes and abilities. Their most unique feature is that they can summon different types and numbers of Pokémon to assist them in battle, depending on the opponent's situation.

The more opponents you face, the more Pokémon you can summon. Moreover, the summoned Pokémon can cooperate well with the giant Pokémon, greatly enhancing their strength in battle.
