It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

"Roar~!!!"

As Lucario's aura returned to calm and its gaze to clarity, Milotic and Shakiras finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Teng Teng~!!!"

"Teng Teng~!!!"

Snivy happily ran out from the corner, first jumping into Qin Ming's arms and acting cute, then stretching its head to look at Lucario.

"Dog, congratulations on completing your first super evolution."

"Luca~!!!"

Qin Ming happily put his arm around his starter Pokémon, and Lucario leaned against the first partner who gave him warmth and recognition.

……

After resting, Qin Ming pulled up the surveillance footage from the gravity room and calculated how many rounds Lucario took from entering Mega Evolution to exiting it.

"3 minutes and 24 seconds, that's quite impressive for the first super evolution to last that long."

Qin Ming sincerely praised Lucario.

"Luca~!!!"

"Luca~!!!"

Lucario showed a happy expression.

"Your task for the next period of time is meditation, to strengthen your mental training."

Qin Ming adjusted Lucario's training plan: "Adapt it to Mega Evolution as much as possible, and extend the Mega Evolution time as much as possible."

"As long as you can control super evolution, then you, my dog, will be my secret weapon!!"

"Luca~!!!"

"Luca~!!!"

"You are my secret weapon"—these words ignited a fire within Lucario, a testament to Qin Ming's high regard for him.

Lucario successfully completed its Mega Evolution, which was Qin Ming's secret weapon.

But for the world as a whole, this marks the beginning of a new era.

Beyond the Blue Star Domain, Emperor Liekong, amidst endless turbulence, slowly opened his eyes. As he opened them, his dragon might led the turbulence to rage.

Liekongzuo's enormous dragon eyes were fixed on Qin Ming's location, and his unchanging tone held a deeper meaning: "Awakener, you have finally activated the wheel of fate between us. From this moment on, our destiny officially begins!!"

……

Deep within the secret realm of Whirlpool Island lies a southern island seemingly forgotten by time.

This is where Latias and Latios dwell. The two divine beasts have awakened from their slumber, both sensing a force in the distance that draws them in.

"Brother, can you feel it? Our power is starting to return."

"Sister, I can feel it. That power that belongs to us is getting closer and closer to us."

"Little sister, did you remember that person's scent?"

"Brother, I'll remember this!!"

"Good that you remember. I will continue to sleep. I will go to him when I officially descend and ask that human to help us reclaim the power that belongs to us."

"Okay, brother..."

……

The Pokémon Research Institute is a subordinate unit of the Pokémon Training Association headquarters established in Yanjing by the Dragon Kingdom. It specializes in the research of Pokémon.

Everything inside the research institute was in good order, but suddenly the alarm bells went off.

Countless researchers were completely bewildered, and when they finally understood why the alarm had sounded, everyone was shocked.

"Dean!!"

The researcher rudely pushed open the door to the dean's office and urgently said to the director inside, "Dean, we've detected that super energy is increasing exponentially!"

The researcher who gave the report was named Feng Xingde, the director of the Elf Research Institute and also the most knowledgeable elf scholar in China.

He's a real-life 'Professor Oak'.

Feng Xingde frowned, then quickly walked to the testing machine, whereupon a researcher immediately came forward to report.

"Dean, according to the detection, a powerful force is approaching our plane."

"And the waveform of this energy wave matches the waveform of a super-evolution."

"This powerful force is constantly building up and is beginning to attempt to merge with our world, just like every time a secret realm has descended before!!"

Upon hearing the report from his researchers, Feng Xingde summarized, "In other words, a brand-new secret realm rich in super-evolution has begun to merge with our world!!"

"How long is it expected to take from the completion of the new secret realm's construction to its final arrival?"

"It is expected to take about two to three years!"

Feng Xingde issued the order: "Okay, I understand. The secret realm has descended so suddenly. What happened? Investigate immediately."

"Yes!!"

"Yes!!"

"Yes!!"

The researchers began intensive data analysis and investigation.

"Xiao Li, prepare the car!!"

"I'll go to headquarters now to report to Director General Peng."

"Yes!!"

……

Besides the Dragon Kingdom Training Association, Pokémon research institutes in countries such as the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, and India also issued warnings. Almost simultaneously, these countries detected a huge energy approaching the plane and learned that the new secret realm was beginning to merge with the world.

……

Because Lucario's successful Mega Evolution caused a huge change in the world, Qin Ming had no idea about these things.

All he knew was that he had a very fulfilling day. He had successfully obtained the Charizard Medal in the morning, and then Lucario successfully evolved. As night fell, Qin Ming returned to his dormitory with cheerful steps.

"My adopted sons, I'm back!!"

Qin Ming held the food he had gotten from the canteen and fed his three hungry adopted sons.

"Father!!"

"dad!!"

Sun Pengcheng and Li Shiwei immediately came over with their faces beaming, happily taking the delicious food from Qin Ming's hands. Only Chen Junliang was hunched over his computer desk, seemingly engrossed in writing something, and without turning his head, he casually said, "Daddy, you've worked hard!"

"Time to eat!!"

“Let’s eat!!”

Sun Pengcheng and Li Shiwei started eating happily, while Chen Junliang seemed to have no intention of eating for the time being.

Qin Ming asked with concern, "Ah Liang, what are you busy with? It'll get cold if you don't eat soon."

"Okay, I'll eat in a bit."

Chen Junliang wrote furiously, "I'll fill out these forms first; I need to hand them in to the counselor tomorrow."

Qin Ming went to change his clothes and happened to see Chen Junliang filling out a scholarship application form.

Seeing Qin Ming's attention, Chen Junliang explained, "During the winter break, besides going to the secret realm for special training, I also took the time to challenge the dojo near my hometown and successfully obtained two badges. I'm preparing to apply for a scholarship from the school."

Chen Junliang is very 'stingy', and he is focused on saving money to buy evolution items for his Scyther.

"Uh-huh."

Qin Ming nodded and said, "By the way, why don't you apply for it for me too?"

"Brother Qin, you also challenged the gym and got a badge?"

"That's right..."

"No problem, I'm very familiar with this. Give me the badge, and I'll help you fill out the form later and give it to the counselor tomorrow."

"Give."

Qin Ming handed the badge he received from Sanya City and the Fire Dinosaur Medal he had just received that day to Chen Junliang, asking him to help him fill out the form.

"Oh, this is the Water-type badge of the Sanya City Gym."

"This badge is... wait... why is this badge different from the others... wait, this doesn't seem to be a badge!!"

Chen Junliang stared wide-eyed at the hand, which was engraved with Qin Ming's name and had a unique serial number. It also had a lifelike fire dragon engraved on it. He then let out a loud and deafening "Holy crap!"

"Fuck!!!"

He let out a "Holy crap!" from his dantian, which made Qin Ming's eardrums ache.

"Chen Junliang!!"

"Fuck your grandpa!!"
