Elf: Pikachu Super Revealed, Mortal Body Rivals Gods

The waterspout enveloping the Greninja frog suddenly burst open!

The surging water transforms into butterfly-like wings on the back of the Greninja!

The next moment, the water that had transformed into butterfly wings turned into a giant water shuriken and was attached to Greninja's back!

A caption appeared at the bottom of the screen: This shuriken is proof of our bond!

At this moment, people all over the world finally saw what Greninja looked like!

That's completely different from the original Greninja!

Some people hadn't noticed the appearance of the grebes in the water before.

Now that the water has receded, his appearance is revealed to the world!

……

[Dragon Tamer: What is this? An unusual Greninja?]

[Daigo: I noticed it earlier, the Greninja in the water looks different!]

[Leon: Another new development? Is this also a Mega Evolution?]

Professor Oak: We'll have to ask Professor Syracuse about that!

[Professor Blatano: This isn't Mega Evolution. Mega Evolution requires three essential conditions, and Ash is missing two of them! That's why I suggested observing Greninja closely!]

[Dr. Blatano: Now it seems that although Greninja isn't a Mega Evolution, it is still a form of evolution! I wasn't really sure what to do at first, but that subtitle gave me an idea, and I think this name is absolutely perfect!]

[Dr. Blatano: Its name is: Bond Evolution!]

Bonds...Evolution?

Thinking about it carefully, this name does seem quite fitting!

All of Greninja's changes seem to stem from the bond it formed with Ash!

In addition, there was that line in the subtitles earlier—this shuriken is proof of our bond!

The name "Bond Evolution" couldn't be more fitting!

While audiences around the world were engaged in heated discussions, the video continued to play.

The Greninja frog, having transformed from a caterpillar into a butterfly, spreads its limbs high in the sky, floating like a kite!

Who can't fly?!

"Greninja! Water Shuriken!!"

"Kokga!!"

Greninja reached behind him with his right hand, grabbed the huge shuriken, and hurled it out!

The giant shuriken fell like a meteor! As it spun, it seemed to slice through the air!

"Shadowball!!"

"Sana!!"

Gardevoir also conjured a massive shadow sphere in her hand! This was her full-force attack!

"boom!!"

The shadow ball shot out and collided with the giant water shuriken!

Two powerful attacks collided! The power of water and ghost-type attacks clashed repeatedly in mid-air!

Judging from their performance alone, the attacks from both sides were even more intense than the previous clash between Pikachu and the legendary Pokémon!

After a few seconds of stalemate, the water shuriken finally broke through a hole while spinning continuously!

Pierce the Shadow Ball!

With a grim expression on Diantha's face, the Water Shuriken struck Gardevoir! It sent Gardevoir flying dozens of meters away!

Gardevoir lay on the ground, its face contorted in pain.

Her body was covered in wounds; although she had not yet lost her ability to fight,

But his physical strength was already like a candle flickering in the wind!

Greninja landed smoothly, ready to press its advantage!

Just when everyone thought Greninja was about to win,

Ash, who was initially showing excitement, suddenly had his pupils constrict! His eyes lost focus, and he collapsed to the ground!

Greninja also seemed to have suffered a heavy blow.

It emitted a blue light, reverted to its original form, and collapsed to the ground!

[Special Review: The End of Karuno's Dark History]

[Battle between Ash and Greninja: Ash vs. Dianthus and Gardevoir, resulting in a draw! Rewards will be distributed to both players later, so stay tuned...]

The viewers watching: ? ? ?

What the heck? I was really getting into it! And it's gone already!

This is ridiculous! It's starting strong but ending weakly, isn't it?

Ash was just one step away from defeating Diantha! Why did he suddenly faint?

Ash fainted, fine, but why did Greninja also collapse?

It's like you've spoiled the whole plot, and then suddenly you run away at the very end!

You're disgusting, aren't you?

……

Professor Frog almost defeated Gardevoir back then; if he had used Iai Slash at the last moment, he would have won!

Unfortunately, the plot killed it off. The writers really went to great lengths to keep Ash Ketchum on his journey...

Chapter 51: Is MEGA Evolution a Atavism? A Global Wave! (First Update!)

The Heavenly Dao Review ended abruptly, as if continuing it would result in some unplayable content.

Although this battle was a draw, you could say that Diantha won, or you could say that Ash won!

Ash only needs to use any one more move to defeat Gardevoir!

But then, Greninja and Ash inexplicably collapsed at the same time.

If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Zhi isn't that kind of person, the audience would have thought he was throwing the match!

[Lance: Can anyone tell me what just happened? Why did Ash fall down?]

Professor Oak: I think I've figured it out, but... let Professor Blatano explain first!

[Karuno: Right! Dr. Blatano, didn't you just say you were going to explain about MEGA evolution?]

Karuno followed Professor Oak's lead and changed the subject.

We absolutely cannot let them dwell on anything from the match just now!

The main problem was that match just now... it was just too embarrassing!

First, it was overwhelmed by the opponent's Greninja, which had only recently evolved.

Then, just as victory was within reach, Greninja suddenly lost its ability to battle!

It looks like she can't afford to lose and bets on it!

It would be better to just let her lose!

Losing is simply a matter of skill!

However, if you examine that scene closely, you'd think she has questionable character!

This has escalated to a matter of character!

[Dr. Blatano: Let me first tell you about MEGA evolution!]

[Dr. Blatano: Before discussing MEGA evolution, I want to explain the principle behind it: the atavism of Pokémon!]

In ancient times, war raged constantly, and for elves, weakness meant death! Therefore, elves in ancient times were all incredibly powerful!

However, with the arrival of a peaceful era, many Pokémon have changed their physical form during their long lives, becoming more adapted to modern survival! Mega Evolution is the process of activating the ancient bloodlines within Pokémon, achieving a primal reversion!

To achieve Mega Evolution, three conditions are required: First, the Pokémon must reach its final evolution! Second, the Trainer and the Pokémon must have a strong bond! Third... and most importantly, a Key Stone and a Mega Stone are needed!

With Dr. Blatano's explanation, people gradually learned about MEGA evolution.

"I see, I feel like I've learned something new!"

"So those pendants that Diantha and Gardevoir were wearing were Key Stones and Mega Stones?!"

"Mega evolution—I'm so envious!! I really want my Pokémon to Mega Evolve too!"

"..."

Many people around the world have secretly memorized the appearance of the Key Stone and Gardevoir's Evolution Stone.
