The dream of becoming a Pokémon master

Super Salamence.

Upon seeing the Mega Salamence before him, Kyosuke couldn't help but compare it to the Mega Metagross that he had seen before, which was also Daigo's Mega Metagross.

After all, they are pseudo-legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn region.

First, there's the change in appearance.

Metagross seems to have doubled in size, and after being super-doubled, it became Mega Metagross.

Salamence, on the other hand, seemed to have undergone a complete body enhancement.

The horns on their heads became sharper and longer.

The already large wings expanded even further, forming a shape resembling a crescent moon. Of course, it was a blood moon.

Of course, what's even more eye-catching is its belly.

The armor, originally made of a hard outer shell, now resembles tracks, with the forelimbs retracted inside.

Now, it not only protects the abdomen, but also the two forelimbs!

At the same time, this also means that Salamence, which originally lived on land and evolved to fly, has now completely abandoned the ability to move on land!

Of course, in aerial combat, this is not considered a side effect at all.

Secondly...

It is a characteristic.

According to Kyosuke's understanding, many Pokémon undergo changes in their abilities after Mega Evolution.

For example, Keros and Heracross.

This pair of Bug-type Pokémon is the most common and also the Pokémon most frequently found in Mega Stones.

According to research, after Mega Evolution, Pyrox gains wings and the Flying type, and all its Normal type moves change to the Flying type.

Its previous abilities, whether it's Mighty Claw, Mold Breaker, or even the hidden ability Overconfidence, will all disappear.

The same goes for Heracross.

After Mega Evolution, Mega Heracross's ability will change from Bug Sensation, Guts, and the Hidden ability Overconfidence to the Continuous Attack ability!

However, the ability of Super Kairos, which allows Normal-type moves to become Flying-type, has not yet been officially named.

Such new discoveries must be carefully studied and thoroughly investigated before they can be announced to the public.

However, the unique nature of super-evolution means that progress is not fast.

Metagross's Mega Evolution ability is Hard Claws, which greatly enhances its powerful attack power.

Salamence, which is on par with Metagross, has a Mega Evolution ability that Kyosuke believes will significantly boost its strength!

but……

Long'er has become stronger too!

The enhanced Ryuji came to Kyosuke's side.

His entire body, from his arms to his thighs, was bulging with muscles!

That's the manifestation of power expanding to its limit!

Compared to Salamence, his body can withstand more of the Dragon Dance's power!

"Another super evolution..." Kyosuke remarked.

Long'er looked over in confusion.

When was the last time you saw Mega Evolution?

"The time we went to Hoenn," Kyosuke explained.

Long'er was even more puzzled: Didn't I go that time too? How come I didn't know!

"If we're going to battle a Mega Evolved Pokémon," Kyosuke said, glancing at the Salamence on the other side. After Mega Evolving, the blood mist around it hadn't disappeared; in fact, it had become even thicker. "Of course, we'll use the strongest Pokémon, the one with the deepest bond, to deal with it."

"So, of course it's the old man," Kyosuke said matter-of-factly.

He was lost in memories again: "Metamorphosis... that's a Pokémon on par with Salamence, not to mention it was Steven's Metagross, the champion of Hoenn. It was really too strong."

Kyosuke shook his head as he recalled that battle.

That was the first time he felt a clear gap in strength.

It makes it difficult for people to even feel the desire to catch up.

Is Kexiongjie an ordinary person?

Daigo's Metagross strength, on the contrary, seemed to illuminate the path forward for Kyosuke.

That's the true strength that a powerful person possesses!

But Long'er wouldn't think that much.

It subconsciously believed that Kyosuke and Charizard had defeated Mega Metagross!

because……

Kyosuke will not lose!

He also felt a little regretful, wondering why he hadn't evolved back then, and why the Pokémon standing next to Kyosuke who battled Mega Metagross wasn't himself.

But he was also very fortunate, fortunate that he was fast enough to leave Charizard behind. Otherwise, he didn't know if the opportunity to battle Mega Salamence would have fallen to him!

He will win this game for Kyosuke.

Long'er clenched her dragon claws.

He's ready.

Flames surged in his eyes.

Dragonite and Mega Salamence, two aerial overlords, gaze at each other from afar, the air itself becoming heavy; even an ordinary person would find it difficult to breathe here.

But Kyosuke and J are not ordinary people.

They exchanged a glance.

"Dragon Claw!"

"Dragon Claw".

In an instant, the two Flying-type Pokémon vanished from the sight of the crowd on the ground!

"Bang!"

With a dull thud, the two Pokémon reappeared in the air!

Their claws were pressed against each other!

Dragonite's arm muscles bulged out one by one!

The Super Salamence's claws extended from the tracks and were placed on top, forcefully holding it back with the sturdy tracks!

But this stalemate did not last long.

Mega Salamence is still gradually closing in on Dragonite!

In comparison, its power is still greater!

After all, this is the power of super evolution!

His dislike of thinking during battle doesn't mean he can't think during battle!

In the past, it was simply because it wasn't necessary.

But now, he doesn't want to lose!

Whether it's because the opponent is a Dragon-type Pokémon, because they were losing in a battle against a Mega Evolved Pokémon, or because they were fighting for Kyosuke.

He looked up and smiled at his opponent, the Mega Salamence.

But there was no smile in his eyes.

He opened his mouth.

Freeze Beam!

A blue beam of ice-type energy was aimed at the head of Mega Salamence!

Mega Salamence immediately turned its head to dodge, while its body also leaned backward!

Ryuu seized the opportunity and pulled his hands away from the Mega Salamence that were locked in a stalemate!

then……

It swung its claws toward the head of the Mega Salamence!

This is a feint!

Ryuu had no intention of using his current low Special Attack to defeat Mega Salamence with Ice Beam; Dragon Claw was his real killing move!

Super Salamence never expected this turn of events. Despite its continued efforts to dodge, it was still unable to escape!

Three bloody scratches appeared on his neck from the claws!

The power of this dragon claw is far greater than that of the freezing beam!

This time, Mega Salamence suffered a huge loss!

Of course, it wasn't without its counterattacks!

Realizing it couldn't dodge, its tail silently attacked the Dragonite!

Dragon's tail!

After Mega Evolution, its tail becomes even longer, whipping across Dragonite's belly, causing damage and knocking it away!

Ryuuji was not impatient. When the dragon's tail landed on him, he used the force of the tail to fly back to Kyosuke's side.

He looked at his abdomen.

That perfect figure was left with a noticeable scar.

He touched it.

hiss……

It hurts.

This damage was still mitigated by his unique characteristic: multiple scales.

If he were to endure it any longer, he really wouldn't be able to take it anymore.

This means that...

In the ensuing battle, he needs to try to dodge or use higher defenses to absorb damage.

This is not Ryuji's favorite fighting style.

But it is the best method right now.

Long'er narrowed his eyes and looked at the Mega Salamence that was also staring at him with hatred.

Very good, it seems you've remembered me.

What a coincidence, I've remembered you too.
