Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

There are many Chaoyang Guild Halls in Jinling City, almost as many as the cinemas in Chi Hong's original world.

After all, not everyone can become a beast tamer. Most people who own pets that are not even C-rank need a place to raise, treat, and even play with their pets.

"Good morning, President Chao!"

"Chairman!"

Clearly, the staff at this club all knew Asagiri, and many people greeted her along the way.

Asagiri merely nodded indifferently.

That's just her personality; she always seems indifferent to everyone.

"My Punishing Tyranitar can also Mega Evolve, right?"

"After all, it's my strongest pet, and also the most convenient."

Asagiri seemed to be in a hurry; she walked very fast.

"While this might disappoint you, if you're thinking of using the Mega Bracelet to catalyze and punish the Mega Evolution of the Dire Lion..."

"It's probably not possible."

Chi Hong's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Asagiri. After all, Mega Evolution is for Pokémon only. Pets and Pokémon are, in the end, not species from the same ecological environment!

In short, according to the established rules, Caterpie can Mega Evolve, but Gryphon cannot!

It's possible that other similar Mega Evolution scenarios could occur, since Mega Evolution is essentially Super Evolution.

It's not impossible for a pet to evolve again during battle.

"What did you mean by what you said before?"

"Isn't this the kind of stone you're referring to?"

Asagiri grabbed Ike Hong's wrist and pointed to the bracelet on his wrist, asking a question.

"Sister Asagiri, let me take a look first. Although I have done my research for a long time, not every pet is suitable."

Chi Hong said helplessly, noticing that Chao Wu was already impatient.

What he actually wanted to see if it would work was not a Mega Evolution Stone, but a regular Evolution Stone.

For example, Fire Stone, Water Stone, Leaf Stone, etc.

It can stimulate the evolution of Pokémon that can adapt to and correspond to the type. Unlike Mega Evolution Stones, this stone pool can be understood as simply stimulating a kind of "type energy".

"Alright, let's go to the battle room then."

Asagiri released Chi Hong's hand and said to the staff member next to him, "Open the largest battle room."

"Then, turn off the monitoring in the battle room."

"Yes, Mr. Chao." The staff member bowed slightly to Chaowu, then took out a walkie-talkie and began to assign tasks.

Soon, Chi Hong arrived at a very spacious battle room, next to which was a pet medical station, making it very well-equipped.

"Koike, actually, it takes a lot of energy for a beast tamer to raise a pet."

"People like me who have a regular job don't have time to raise pets."

"So, the only pets that can be considered part of my combat strength are four, including the Punishing Lion."

Asagiri slightly raised her head to look at Chi Hong's face and said.

"The Sanctioned Lion, wasn't it bred by you? I've heard that the Sanctioned Lion is a symbol of law enforcement, and every Sanctioned Lion can reach A-level strength as long as it grows normally."

"If I didn't cultivate them myself, it wouldn't make sense, would it?"

Chi Hong asked in confusion, referring to the punishment of the horned lion, which he believed was equivalent to Arcanine in the Pokémon world.

They are all partners of law enforcement officers, and Arcanine is definitely a partner that Officer Jenny has been training and raising all along!

"No, the sanctioned horned lions are bred and trained uniformly by the Enforcement Headquarters before being handed over to the Enforcement officers."

"The Punishing Lion is different from other pets. If its tamer unfortunately dies, the Punishing Lion will be handed over to the next qualified enforcer to continue its work."

"Of course, if the Beastmaster's level increases too quickly, they can apply to get a better-quality Punishing Horned Lion."

"vice versa."

Asagiri said in a calm tone that these things were not secrets and there was nothing that couldn't be said.

This is also one of the rules to better accomplish the work of law enforcement officers.

"Oh, I see." Chi Hong nodded, then said with a smile, "Then I can be 100% certain that the Punishing Horned Lion in the hands of the Enforcers cannot undergo any enhancements like Mega Evolution."

"As far as I know, any method that allows the beast tamer and the beast to become stronger together is not applicable."

"Why do you say that?" Asagiri asked, frowning. She was increasingly feeling that Chi Hong was different from the person she remembered.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; it's been a very, very long time since I've seen him.

"Because a chameleon raised in this environment shouldn't have any reason to..." Chi Hong said, pointing to Asagiri's chest, "...respond to your heart?"

The words had barely left his lips.

Asagiri was immediately stunned.

But whether it's the assassin Crimson or Chi Hong, they both responded with "Key Stone," right?

"Wait a minute, how can a stone respond to the heart?"

"So..."

Asagiri felt that her educational philosophy had been wrong all along.

"That's right." Chi Hong raised his hand and released Blaziken, which seemed to have recovered well.

"Cheers!"

The moment he appeared, he glanced at Chi Hong and nodded slightly to him.

"The Key Stone is just a tool that connects me and Blaziken; the one who truly responds to my heart is Blaziken itself!"

Chi Hong said firmly, "Are you kidding me? The mindset of beast tamers in this world is problematic!"

"Gacha!"

Blaziken closed its eyes at the opportune moment, crossed its arms and nodded, then extended its claws toward Asagiri.

He also wore a strap on his wrist, with a Mega Evolution Stone tied to it!

"Do pets need it too?"

"So this stone only serves as a 'connection'; its primary function is actually between the beast tamer and the beast..."

Asagiri suddenly realized something, recalling what Chi Hong had said to Asaka earlier.

"Respect your pet, build a bond, and give each other courage and willpower so that both can grow stronger!"

"It's... a bond!" Asagiri's eyes gleamed. Although she initially thought it was chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), upon closer reflection, Ikehiro was right!

At best, he and the sanctioned horned lion were colleagues, and he had never actually bred a sanctioned horned lion.

"So, Wang Dong's chameleon will actually grow stronger in the hands of the assassin Crimson?"

"After all, the Assassin Crimson, although an assassin, must also be someone who is bound by bonds."

Asagiri was filled with emotion, and after a conversation, she gave up the idea of ​​mega.

"In that case, I'll take you back." Asagiri's tone became calm again. Her emotions were not usually volatile, and she calmed down very quickly.

"No!"

"You promised to show me a pet animal!"

"I have other stones that might come in handy!"

Chi Hong leaned against the Blaziken and said with a smile.

"Cheers!"

Blaziken nodded, still looking cool.
