Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

Chapter 160 Heracross, Mega Evolution!

Xiong Meng wasn't idle either; he took out his diary and frantically made notes.

On the other side, Infernape was still staring at Mudkip.

Seeing that there was nothing for him to do, Polygon2 took out his computer, released the drone, turned on the network, and started working.

Heracross is wrestling, Mudkip is staring at each other, Porygon2 is working, and the trainer is recording.

What a strange scene this is.

Heracross finished his wrestling match shortly afterward, and just as he was about to unleash the power of his skill, the headmaster came over and stopped him.

"Wait a minute, come with me first." After saying that, he released Dragonite and signaled for Sirius to come up.

"Everyone, please wait here for me, I'll be right there."

Hop on the Dragon Express, the Dean of Students flew into the school and finally stopped in front of an unfamiliar building.

"As the top student in Donghuang, you should receive a bonus or something similar when you come to our school. Normally, there is a plan for this. However, many situations can cause changes in the rewards, but not many. The Level 3 Newcomer Competition happens to be one of them."

"Because your situation is so special, we can only wait until the rookie competition is over to see. I even talked to your parents about it at the time."

"As expected of the top scorer, he has such a good mindset. He hasn't asked any questions or shown any anxiety. He's the most composed young person I've ever met."

In the corridor, the dean's satisfaction and optimism were on full display.

"Ah... Oh... Hmm!"

"I've always had this positive attitude," Xiong Meng replied with a smile, recalling when his parents had mentioned it. He had been wondering if there would be some kind of reward for outstanding students.

He just thought it was a characteristic of this world, that there were plenty of resources, so he didn't care. Turns out that's how it is!

"We've arrived." At the end of the corridor, the head of student affairs stopped.

"This is where our school keeps the reward props. Don't touch anything. I'll get you the ones that are arranged first. If you're not satisfied, we can change them."

After saying a word, he pushed open the door. The room wasn't very big, at least not compared to the several hundred square meters Xiong Meng had imagined.

It's only a few dozen square meters, but even that small space is filled with all sorts of glass frames.

The contents were quite simple, mostly colorful stones, strange minerals, pretty feathers, and the like...

Yes, simple and unpretentious!

The head of the teaching department had been watching Xiong Meng's expression as he entered, since everything here was rare and everyone who had come here before had been surprised.

Even the usually composed young man must be surprised. Well, he's still quite stable now; he probably hasn't seen everything yet.

Go get your things first. Take a good look at them. Your expression when I come back will definitely be different.

"This is Heracross's Mega Stone and Key Stone, a reward from the school."

But the result was completely different from what he expected. When he turned around, the other person's expression was still calm. He only showed some interest when he heard the introduction of the stone in his hand.

Wow, is it that you don't know anything at all, or is your perspective just incredibly broad?

Good lad, you were on fire with a great attitude at first, and you've been keeping it all hidden for a long time.

"Is this a complete set, and really a reward?"

Xiong Meng's surprise was not feigned. He hadn't paid much attention to it for the previous three years, but he had been keeping an eye on Heracross since it became the King of the Hill.

There are currently only a few ways to obtain Mega Stones: exploring wild ruins or purchasing them from other players.

Not only are they expensive, but they're also hard to find. Compared to the large number of people in Donghuang, they're even rarer. Usually, the only ones you can get them are through official partners.

They're sold there first, and the price is quite attractive.

As for individuals, nobody's a fool; it's not like they're trying to say who's short of money.

This kind of good stuff can be passed down for generations; it's even more stable than gold.

"It's impossible to be normal, but you are special and outstanding."

When this was put on the shortlist, the head of the teaching department was also surprised, but after reviewing the records, it seemed that it wasn't a bad idea.

"Come here to register, this is yours."

"However, one thing needs to be clarified: selling is allowed, but official channels are preferred, and sales to other regions are not permitted."

The head of student affairs explained the situation sternly, then walked to the door but didn't leave. Instead, he pushed open the left door, where a golden antique sword hung. It was the kind with a shield.

No, it's not an antique, it's a Pokémon Aegislash!

"Senior, today we've come to collect the Heracross Mega Evolution Stone and its accompanying Key Stone. The recipient is Xiong Meng."

The eye at the hilt of the sword slowly opened, glanced at the prop, and then looked at Xiong Meng.

The purple eyes held a strange quality, as if they saw through everything.

A golden light flashed deep within his eyes, and the Shielded Sword Monster slowly closed them.

The dean of students thought this was the end of it. He handed the things to Xiong Meng, closed the door, and walked out.

"That person was a senior who was there when the company was founded. I heard he's lived a very long time, but I don't know exactly how many years."

"Your profession often involves going into the wild. Remember, many Pokémon can live for a very, very long time."

Xiong Meng nodded silently, choosing to remember it.

"For the next period of time, you will focus on learning and mastering super evolution. Don't worry about the holidays; I will arrange everything."

The head of student affairs released Dragonite, saying, "I won't be going any further. Just have Dragonite buy what you need; there's a place to stay over there."

"Just come find me when you're done. If there are any special circumstances, call me. If you need anything, talk to Infernape. He's an experienced player and will take care of everything."

"Okay, thank you for your help today, teacher."

"It's alright. There will be another opportunity to give a return gift later."

Xiong Meng rode the fast dragon and headed back, while the head of teaching returned to his office to report the situation to the principal.

Heracross, a veteran of the Heavenly Kings, and Porygon 2, whose exact strength is unknown—is this the kind of power a freshman should have?

Good heavens, the last time I encountered something like this was several years ago during my training. What kind of monster is this?

Most importantly, he has an incredibly stable mindset, and his ideology is impeccable and that of a future star.

Great, that's wonderful!

"Time seems to be flying by; things are bound to get interesting."

In the office, the head of the teaching department looked out the window and the smile on his lips gradually widened.

Meanwhile, the Shield-Sword Monster behind the door of the room where the things had just been placed was also feeling quite uncomfortable.

What's going on here? Who is that kid? And which mythical beast is that golden light from?

Why is there no corresponding mythical beast in my memory, but the feeling surpasses everything I know?

As an old relic who has witnessed the development of Donghuang for thousands of years, I have encountered and seen countless mythical beasts, but why didn't I know of this one, and why was it so special...?

Damn, who exactly is that kid...?

No! I have to talk to that guy. If he has ideological problems, it'll be difficult to deal with.

After making up his mind, the Aegislash flew down from the door and soared into the sky, eventually disappearing from sight.

A moment later, some dark clouds appeared high in the sky, and it looked as if there was a figure in them.

Later, Xiong Meng rushed back.

"Hera~"

"Class~"

Heracross and Tyranitar have started eating; judging from the energy cubes and berries, they were probably provided by Porygon 2.

On the other side, the senior brother and the Mudkip were still staring at each other.

"You two, continue looking at each other."

"Heracross, come and try this good stuff." Xiong Meng walked straight over and opened his palm to show off the Mega Evolution Stone.

"Hera?"

Hercules' eyes lit up; he sensed a longing in the small stone.

"Take this for now, we'll figure out where to put it later."

Hera~

"Polygon2, hold on a second, come help record this video."

"ww~" Leave it to me!

Walking to the open space beside them, Xiongmeng and Heracross prepared to initiate their first Mega Evolution.

Mudkip also came over out of curiosity. As a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve in the future, it's quite necessary to learn in advance.

Incidentally, Infernape wasn't very interested in Mega Evolution, and instead continued to stare curiously at Mudkip.

Yeah, I'm keeping an eye on things from the sidelines...

"Are you ready, Heracross?"

"Hera!!"

After asking all the questions, Xiong Meng took a deep breath. He was still a little nervous about his first super evolution.

But this is something that must be experienced, and also to fulfill the fantasies of my past life...:

He closed his eyes and opened them again, his gaze sharp as he raised the hand holding the Key Stone, "Heracross! Mega Evolve!"

"Hera!!!"

Colorful light emerged from Heracross's hand, connecting with Xiong Meng's light and finally enveloping Heracross's entire body.

The light faded, and Super Heracross appeared in a new form!

From a rhinoceros beetle to a giant herring beetle, its body undergoes a dramatic change, becoming taller and stronger, with its forearms no longer just described as thick, but enormous.

Its two small tentacles also became longer, its aura became more imposing, and its characteristic became continuous attacks.

This is the ultimate physical attack – Super Heracross!!

After completing the evolution, it did not give any commands or go over to check out out of curiosity, but instead activated Super Suppression.

Golden waves emanated from the surroundings, enveloping Super Heracross, who then closed his eyes in understanding.

The moment the wave appeared, Infernape and Tyranitar's expressions immediately turned serious. The latter stopped looking at Mudkip and looked at Ursaring.

The latter stared at Xiong Meng with a serious expression, constantly stuffing food into his mouth.

This guy...something's not right...:

In the spiritual world, Xiong Meng and the Pokémon gaze at each other.

Looking at the Super Heracross in front of me, is this the form after its Mega Evolution?

Legend has it that Pokémon that have undergone Mega Evolution are often uncontrollable, especially after their first evolution.

Xiong Meng knew this, but he wasn't worried at all. With a clap of his hands, the environment transformed into a forest filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

He strode over and began to examine her. "Raise your hand and let me see. Don't move your body. Let me take a look first."

[Super Heracross: Champion Type: Bug/Fighting Height: 2 meters Mood: Happy Ability: Strike (5 consecutive attacks)]

Hidden Trait: Regeneration (Special)

Arceus's transformation: It can continuously restore physical strength and accelerate nutrient absorption.

P.S.: After super evolution, the energy stored up will be used to offset physical pain and extend the super evolution time.

Skills: Hold On, Swallow Return, Double Strike, Needle Missile, Sword Dance, Super Horn Strike, Close Combat

"Hiss!" Xiong Meng's eyes lit up as he looked at the system's brief introduction.

In reality, Heracross needs to rest for a long time after its Mega Evolution, but according to the current description, it doesn't.

With the extended time frame, wow, wouldn't that mean we could start super-evolution battles anytime?

This ultimate trump card has become a regular skill, no wonder Arceus is like this!

Praise again! Absolutely wonderful!!

"Then it's time to verify my question."

After communicating with Heracross, he withdrew from the Super-Strike mode. In reality, the person and their Pokémon opened their eyes, and just when everyone thought they were about to test their skills.

Mega Heracross voluntarily withdrew from Mega Evolution. Xiong Meng didn't lower his arm, but instead shouted again, "Heracross, Mega Evolve!!!"

Tyranitar, Infernape: ? ? ? ? ?

The colorful light reappeared, and Super Heracross reappeared, only to disappear again.

Then: "Mega Evolution!"

After completing the process, he would exit, then evolve again, repeating this process five times before Xiong Meng finally stopped.

He stopped not because he was exhausted, but because Heracross was showing signs of discomfort, and even without using any skills, he couldn't hold on any longer.

"Let's call it a day for now. Porygon2, bring out some more food. Heracross, get some rest."

After eating, Heracross gradually recovered and his expression became much more relaxed.

Mega Evolution is indeed impressive; that explosive power should be helpful to trainers, but they need to eat a lot of it regularly, otherwise it won't work after only five times.

At most, I could only manage one or two all-out battles. That's not enough; I'm far from ready.

Beside him, Infernape looked intently at Tyranitar. "You've been hiding your abilities quite well. You should have told me you could Mega Evolve so many times."

If we had told the trainers earlier, we would have had so many more tactics.

Bangiras: Don't look at me, something's wrong with this guy.

Normally, a Pokémon evolves only once, due to its stamina. Some Pokémon can't even Mega Evolve.

Take Heracross for example. It's not like he hasn't fought him before. After one fight, the opponent's expression was contorted beyond recognition.

How could it be so easy? This guy has some issues; don't judge the whole by a few cases!

Tyranitar argued that if things weren't explained clearly, the trainers would have to come several times, and they'd be exhausted.

He's already so old, he doesn't want to strain his back for this kind of experiment.

Over the next week, Xiong Meng conducted several more experiments, but still failed to obtain the desired data.

He hasn't reached his limit yet; having only one Mega Evolved Pokémon isn't enough, so there's no pressure.

He felt he could now bring two or three at a time, and maybe even compete with the situation in the special episode.

Heracross couldn't be sure either; in the case of a long, full-power evolution, it could directly consume all of its energy.

Strictly speaking, it depends on the amount of effort put in.

During this time, Mudkip quickly measured out the limits of its power.

Infernape, which was testing the other party, was still curiously watching Mudkip, wondering what the fluctuations it felt were.

Until one day, Xiongmeng revealed after discussion that it had encountered a red feather and evolved, and Infernape fell silent.

He didn't ask any more questions; a miracle is a miracle precisely because it's rare.

He was only wondering why he couldn't have such a good thing happen to him. Damn European salamanders!

But there's one problem... that's Polygon 2.

The situation with the other two Pokémon is already known, but Porygon2 is still unclear.
