Elf: Seriously? You only get a cheat code when you're about to die?

Chapter 208 The Battle of Mega Evolution

After Ayaka successfully subdued Mawile, Ange extended an invitation to Sun Rock.

"Sun Rock, do you want to come with me?"

Sun Rock was taken aback when it heard this. It looked at everyone and saw that they were all nodding at it with the same encouragement. It nodded in agreement with Anjie and flew to Anjie's side.

Upon seeing this scene, a hint of disappointment and envy flashed in Moonstone's eyes.

It stayed with Sun Rock all along. What will it do after Sun Rock leaves?

Anjie happened to witness this scene. After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately extended an invitation to Moonstone as well.

"Moonstone, do you want to come along?"

The fact that he could only subdue the sun but not the moon made Anjie, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder, very uncomfortable.

Anyway, he can afford to support them, so let's take them all at once!

Upon hearing Ange's words, Moonstone's eyes lit up. It nodded happily and flew to the side of Sun Rock. The two Pokémon looked at each other, their eyes filled with joy.

It's so good that we don't have to separate.

Having successfully captured the desired Pokémon, Ange and Ayaka bid farewell to everyone, who reluctantly said goodbye to the two, Mawile, Solrock, and Lunatone.

After being escorted to the cave exit by the Pokémon, Ange and Ayaka looked at everyone and said, "Well then, everyone, goodbye."

Sun Rock, Moon Stone, and Maw of Fowl said goodbye to everyone with tears in their eyes.

After saying goodbye, Anja and Ayaka each put their Pokémon back into their Poké Balls, and then released Braviary and Vulpix to ride on.

The sun was already setting outside. Two flying Pokémon carried Angela and Ayaka into the sunset. Angela and Ayaka waved to the Pokémon below as they disappeared into the distance.

By the time the two returned to Guxiang Town, it was almost dark.

After returning Brave Eagle and Vulture, Ange asked Ayaka, "I live at the Pokémon Center, what about you?"

Ayaka replied, "I'm staying at a hotel."

Anjie said, "Then we're not going the same way, it seems we'll have to part ways here."

Ayaka said, "See you tomorrow."

Anjie nodded: "See you tomorrow."

The two then parted ways and headed towards their respective residences.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Angel took the Pokémon out for dinner.

After releasing several Pokémon, Angel introduced them to Baby Tyranitar and Magearna: "These are Solrock, Lunarock, and Saberya, who just joined us. From now on, you'll be partners, so take care of each other!"

"Duki~" Magearna greeted the three Pokémon in a very friendly manner.

The three Pokémon also greeted Magearna in a friendly manner.

"Awoo~ Awoo~" The lively and active baby Tyrannosaurus Rex was really bored because Anjie hadn't let it out. As soon as it came out, it started to throw a tantrum and roll around.

Anjie quickly took out its chew toy from the system backpack. With the chew toy's comfort, the baby Tyrannosaurus Rex instantly calmed down.

After everyone got to know each other, Anjie said, "Alright, let's hurry up and eat. You must all be hungry!"

"Gang~"

"Awoo~"

The little Snorlax and Baby Tyranitar nodded quickly.

Angel then distributed the food to everyone, and the Pokémon immediately began to feast.

Sun Rock, Moonstone, and the Single Sword Sheath were all eating human-made food for the first time and were instantly captivated by its deliciousness.

The food at the Elf Center in Guxiang Town is quite delicious.

Seeing everyone enjoying their meal, Anjie wore a "kind" smile.

Oh right! Anjie suddenly realized he hadn't looked at the data for the single sword sheath yet!

According to the Crystal Chandelier Spirit, the single-sword sheath that followed him and Ayaka was carefully selected, being the most outstanding descendant among the Aegislash race. I don't know if that's true.

With that in mind, Anjie opened the Eye of Data.

Single sword sheath (the unchanging stone)

[Attributes] Steel, Ghost

【Characteristics】No defense

[Gender] Female

[Level] 48

[Skills] Combo Slash, Shadow Ambush, Body Lightening, Swallow Return, Metallic Sound, Cleave, Revenge, Ambush to Weak Points, Iron Wall, Iron Head, Sword Dance, Holy Sword, Wide Area Defense.

Individual Value

Blood volume: 31

Attack: 31

Physical defense: 29

Special Attack: 31

Special Defense: 27

Speed: 31

After seeing the data, An Jie was stunned; the word "good" was not enough to describe it.

Its level is as high as 48, and it has learned a full range of skills. Of its six individual values, except for Special Defense and Physical Defense, the other four are all maxed out.

While its special defense and physical defense aren't maxed out, they're not low either.

But why is it wearing an Everstone? No wonder it hasn't evolved even at level 48.

Generally, a single-edged sword sheath meets the evolution requirements around level 35.

With that in mind, An Jie asked directly.

"Single Sword Sheath, why are you wearing the Everlasting Stone? Is there some special reason?"

"Yo~ Yo~" The sword sheath, which was eating, floated up and answered An Jie.

It turns out that both Chandelure and Ayaka's monoscabbard are Pokémon bred by their respective groups specifically for the Trialers. To prevent them from evolving before encountering the Trialers, Chandelure specially equipped them with Everstones.

They are able to learn so many skills because of the careful teaching of their own kind.

Ever since they were chosen, the elders of the tribe have been very strict with them, striving to make them strong enough to better protect their followers.

Although they are only in their initial form, they are actually quite old.

The elders were very anxious because the trial participants were nowhere to be seen. They all wanted to finish the trial as soon as possible, fulfill their promise to the king, and then live freely.

Because she couldn't wait any longer, the Crystal Lamp Spirit threw out the key to open the ruins, which was then picked up by Ayaka, who was adventuring in the Shining Cave.

After hearing the explanation from the single-edged sword sheath, An Jie stared in disbelief and said, "So, our entry into the ruins was actually intentionally orchestrated by the Crystal Chandelier Spirit?"

"Yo~" The sword sheath nodded.

These ghost Pokémon are too smart! Ange couldn't help but exclaim.

"So, are you going to remove the Everlasting Stone now?" Angie asked.

"Yo~" Is that okay?

The sword sheath asked.

Anjie said, "Of course, you can do it anytime you want. I respect your choice."

"Yo~ yo~~" Take it off! Take it off!

The single sword sheath excitedly somersaulted in the air.

"Where is your Everstone? I'll get it for you," Anjie asked.

"Yo~ Yo~" Upon hearing this, the sword sheath flew closer to An Jie, showing him the place where it had hidden the Unchanging Stone.

Anjie then noticed that a stone was stuck in a hole in the scabbard of the sword, which was the Unchanging Stone.

After he removed the immutable stone, the scabbard immediately emitted a dazzling light.

It is the light of evolution.

The scabbard, enveloped in light, was rapidly changing shape, transforming from a single sword into a pair of intersecting twin swords.

This is the evolved form of the single-blade sheath—the double-blade sheath.

"Chirp~ Chirp~"

After evolving, the twin scabbards were overjoyed and immediately drew their swords with great enthusiasm, slashing back and forth in the air, flashing with cold light.

Because it's a shimmering scabbard, the evolved dual scabbards are a different color from the regular dual scabbards.

The blades of the ordinary double-sheathed swords are white, the eyes are pink, the ribbons are generally light purple, and the ends are pink.

Anjie's Twin Blades are deep red, with yellow eyes, dark purple ribbons, and yellow tips.

Anjie quickly said, "Sword Sheaths, come back and eat. This is a public place, be careful not to hurt someone."

"Chirp~~" Upon hearing this, the twin sword sheaths quickly flew back to continue eating.

At this moment, Munchlax walked up to Angel and pointed to the Everstone in Angel's hand.

"Gang~ Gang~~"

Anjie asked疑惑地问道, "You want this Everstone?"

"G- ...

Hearing this, Anjie asked in confusion, "What do you need it for? Don't you want to evolve too?"

"G- ...

Of course, another reason is that it knows that after it evolves, its size will become huge, and it will no longer be able to cuddle in its master's arms or sleep in the same bed with its master.

It wants to spend more time with its master in its current state.

Once it wears the Everstone and accumulates enough, it can evolve whenever it wants.

Anjie didn't know what level of satisfaction the little Munchlax meant, but since it said so, he didn't object.

He pinched Munchlax's cheek and said, "Fine, whatever you say!" He then stuffed the Everstone into Munchlax's hand.

"Gah~" Munchlax happily stuffed the Everstone into its thick fur, then trotted back to eat.

Snorlax's fur is similar to Gengar's belly, and it can hold anything.

Afterwards, Anjie also checked the data of Sunrock and Moonstone from the morning, and their data was much more normal, just the level of ordinary wild Pokémon.

However, Anjie didn't care, since he wasn't asking Sunrock and Moonstone to fight each other.

After dinner, Anjai took the Pokémon for a walk outside, then watched some battles in the backyard of the Pokémon Center before finally returning to their room.

He then video-called his Pokémon for a while before finally going to bed.

The next morning, Angel met up with the Pokémon and Ayaka at a breakfast shop and had breakfast together.

Ayaka was very surprised when she saw Ange's single sword sheath evolve into a double sword sheath.

"How come your single-edged sword sheath has evolved after only one night?"

Anjie asked mysteriously, "Want to know why?"

Ayaka nodded repeatedly, looking at Anjie with expectant eyes, and said, "I want to know, I want to know!"

"What should we do? It's a secret, I wouldn't tell just anyone," Anjie said, keeping everyone in suspense.

Ayaka slapped Anjie's hand impatiently, "Speak quickly!"

Anjie then stopped being mysterious and said, "Our sword sheaths are actually already at a very high level, and they've long been ready to evolve. It's just that they're wearing the Everlasting Stone. As long as we remove the Everlasting Stone, they can evolve immediately."

"Huh???" Ayaka's eyes widened in surprise. She looked at her monocle and asked, "Is this how it is, monocle?"

"Yo~ Yo~" The single sword sheath nodded.

With Ange's help, Ayaka removed the Everstone from her monoscabbard, and her monoscabbard successfully evolved into a dual-scabbard.

Anjie used his Data Eye to examine Ayaka's dual sword sheaths and found that their data was almost identical, and their skills were exactly the same.

Since both of them planned to leave Guxiang Town in the afternoon, they decided to stroll around the town together after breakfast.

They first went to the aquarium in Guxiang Town, since the aquarium is the most famous thing about this place.

At the aquarium, Ange and his friends saw all sorts of water-type Pokémon, including schools of Luvdiscs, ancient fossils like Respina that have survived since ancient times, and Kingdra that only lives in the deep sea!

They also went to the Pokémon Shop, where Angela and Ayaka each bought an Evolution Stone for Twin Blade Sheaths.

Evolving Dual Bladesca into Aegislash requires a Dark Stone, but neither of them planned to evolve Dual Bladesca immediately, so an Evolution Stone became a very suitable holding item for Dual Bladesca.

The dual-sheathed creatures have high attack power, and their physical defense stat is ridiculously high at 150. If they equip an evolution stone, they will become even more terrifying, so equipping them with an evolution stone is very worthwhile.

After buying the Evolution Stones, the two walked out of the Pokémon Shop chatting and laughing with their Pokémon.

Just then, a person suddenly appeared in front of them and looked at Ayaka, asking:

"Excuse me, are you Ayaka?"

Ayaka nodded and said, "It's me. Is there something you need?" She looked at the young man in front of her with a puzzled expression.

The young man was handsome, with black hair and a tall stature. More importantly, Anjie and Ayaka both noticed that he was wearing a Mega Ring on his wrist, with a Mega Stone embedded in it.

The young man introduced himself: "My name is Ai Lan, and I'm here to challenge you."

Ayaka said, "Challenge me?" At the same time, she wondered to herself, "Am I that famous already?"

"Super evolution, you've got it all, haven't you!" Ai Lan said succinctly.

Upon hearing this, Ayaka suddenly realized that they had come to challenge Mega Evolution.

She was never afraid of a challenge, so she nodded and said, "I accept your challenge!"

Ayaka then asked in confusion, "How did you know I was in Guxiang Town?"

Ai Lan replied, "The video of you fighting someone in Guxiang Town was posted online. I saw it by chance, and since I happened to be near Guxiang Town, I came to check it out."

Ayaka suddenly realized, "So that's how it is." She had indeed sparred with someone in Guxiang Town.

With the internet and communication technologies so advanced these days, it's not surprising that her match videos were posted online.

Since there was no proper battlefield in Guxiang Town, Ayaka and Ailan went to the grassland outside the town. It was a spacious place where they could fight however they wanted.

Anjie was asked to temporarily act as the referee.

"If both sides are ready, then release your Pokémon!" the unprofessional temporary referee, Anja, shouted.

As Ange finished speaking, the two of them simultaneously took out Poké Balls and released their Pokémon.

As expected, it was Absol on Ayaka's side.

On the other hand, Alain has a Charizard.

Upon seeing the Mega Stone embedded in the collar around Charizard's neck, a sense of understanding flashed through Ange and Ayaka's minds simultaneously.

From the moment Alain suggested that Ayaka use Mega Evolution, Ange and Ayaka vaguely guessed that Alain was probably also the owner of a Mega Stone.

Speaking of Ai Lan, his identity is not simple.

He was originally an assistant to Professor Blatano, the famous Pokémon professor in the Kalos region.

Dr. Blatano was a pioneer and authority in the study of hyperevolution in the Carlos region.

To help the professor research Mega Evolution, assistant Alain and Charmander embark on a journey to visit various historical sites in search of more Mega Stones.

During their journey, he and Charmander grew stronger and stronger, and Charmander eventually evolved into Charizard.

During this time, he met another person who changed his mind: Vladari, a famous entrepreneur and philanthropist in the Carlos region, and also the boss of Team Flare.

Later, Alain severed ties with the professor and became a subordinate of Fladari. Following Fladari's instructions, he searched for people who possessed Mega Stones in various places, fought them, and collected Mega Energy.

The Key Stone and Charizard Mega Stone in Alain's possession were both obtained from Fladari.

Of course, Alain was unaware of Vladari's idea of ​​destroying the world and creating a new one. He only thought that Vladari wanted to research hyper-evolution and that Vladari could help him become stronger.

Anja didn't know Alain, nor did he know that Alain was one of Fiss's subordinates, so he still thought he was just an ordinary trainer.

"Then let the match begin!" Angie shouted as both players released their Pokémon.

As soon as Ange finished speaking, Ayaka took the lead in commanding Absol to launch an attack on Charizard.

"Absol, the psychic blade!"

"Ab~~"

Absol roared, and a huge purple blade lashed out from the curved horn on its head, slicing towards Charizard.

"Charizard, breathe fire!" Alain commanded Charizard to counterattack.

"Waaah~~"

Charizard roared as well, flapped its wings and flew into the air, dodging Absol's psychic blades, then opened its mouth and spat out a pillar of fire towards Absol.

"Absol, Shadow Clone!" Ayaka shouted.

"Absol~~" Absol's figure flashed and then multiplied into more than a dozen.

Then Ayaka shouted again, "Mental Blade!"

A dozen Absol simultaneously swung their curved horns, unleashing a barrage of purple blades that slashed towards Charizard.

Alain shouted, "Charizard, Dragon Claw!"

"Awoo~" Charizard opened its arms, and immediately two huge green energy claws covered its claws.

Charizard swiftly swung its claws, shattering Absol's Psychic Blades one after another.

After the probing ended, Ai Lan said to Ayaka, "Let's both show our true abilities!"

Ayaka said, "That suits me perfectly!"

She reached her left hand to her right earring, touching the key stone, and said, "Absol, unleash your power, Mega Evolution!"

At the same time, Alain pressed his index and middle fingers against the Key Stone and shouted, "Respond to my heart, Key Stone! Beyond evolution, Mega Evolution!"

As the two finished speaking, a rainbow of light emanated from their Key Stones, Absol's Mega Stone, and Charizard's Mega Stone, until they completely enveloped Absol and Charizard.

In the light, the appearance of the two Pokémon underwent a huge change.

After the light faded, Mega Absol and Mega Charizard appeared.
