Burst Heart Experiment


Melemele Island: Route 1

Outside the Tortuga, the kids were making use of their Burst Hearts while the Wild Kratts watched.

"Okay, Pikachu. Burst!" Ash used Burst to combine with Pikachu.

"Now, Archeops Burst!" Ash's Burst Heart on his chest released Pikachu and Ash changed into his Archeops Burst form.

"Okay, changing into another Burst form while already in a Burst form? It works." Aviva said as she took notes.

Then, Lillie sent out Floette.

"Floette, I got a Shiny Stone back from that chest on Poni Gauntlet. Would you like to use it to evolve?" Lillie asked, and Floette accepted. "Then let's do it."

"Burst!" Lillie used Burst to combine with Floette.

Then, Lillie took out the Shiny Stone and held it, and soon, Lillie's body was enveloped by bright light as her Burst form changed into that of Florges.

"It worked. Pokémon can still evolve even when they're merged with us through Burst." Lillie said.

"Release!" Lillie separated from Florges, who stood majestically in her new form.

"Say, I wonder… can you still change into the pre-evolved forms of your Pokémon after they evolve?" Martin asked.

"No, actually," Lillie replied. "After Snowy evolved I once tried to see if I could change into its Vulpix Burst form, but I couldn't."

"The same for me with both Decidueye and Incineroar into their pre-evolved forms," Ash added.

"So when a Pokémon that you use Burst with evolves, then you lose access to the pre-evolved form. Actually, that makes a lot of sense." Aviva said. "Maybe if you use Burst with another one of the pre-evolved form, then you regain it?"

"So what other experiment do you have in mind?" Sophocles asked.

"I've got one that involves a mini Burst Heart," Chris said.

Sophocles used his Burst Heart to make an artificial Burst Heart for Chris.

"Okay, now someone Burst," Chris said.

"Burst!" Kiawe used Burst to combine with Turtonator.

"Capture!" Chris used Capture to scan Kiawe merged with Turtonator.

"Burst!" Chris used the artificial Burst Heart and successfully changed into a Turtonator Burst form. "Capture can be used on Burst forms as well. Check!"

"Y'know, I wonder, does Burst have a time limit?" Mallow said.

"Let's see," Lana said.

"Burst!" The kids changed into a Burst form and waited to see if anything would happen, but after an hour, they started to get tired.

"Okay, I think this is good," Mallow said, and her friends all agreed.

"Release!" the kids deactivated their Burst.

"So, what now? Any other experiments anyone wants to try?" Kiawe asked.

"Well, say, Lillie, how is it like having a second head as Zweilous?" Koki asked.

"Well, in that case…" Lillie said. "Zweilous Burst!"

"Unlike Zweilous's heads…" Lillie's right head said.

"…We don't fight with each other." Lillie's left head said.

"When, you change back to normal, what happens?" Jimmy asked.

"Nothing, really," Lillie's two heads both said.

"Release!" Lillie deactivated her Burst.

"Burst sometimes works similarly to the Creature Power Suits," Chris said. "Like granting the user's body unique creature features such as long neck or additional limbs, or changing limbs into different ones such as legs for tails or arms for fins, or in rare cases, makes them disappear."

"Like Electrode Burst," Lana said.

"Hey, I wonder," Jimmy said. "When your body turns into a ball from Electrode Burst, how does it feel?"

"Not much. It happens so quickly that I hardly feel anything." Lana replied.

"Same here," Mallow said, and Lillie nodded.

"Can we record the change happen?" Aviva asked.

"Sure," Lana said and got her Burst Heart ready.

"Electrode Burst!" Lana changed into her Electrode Burst form. "So, did you get it?"

"Let's see," Aviva said as she pulled up the video recording. "And slow-mo!"

The slowed recording showed Lana being enveloped in light, then her body gradually became rounder into an Electrode-sized ball before the light cleared, revealing Lana in her Electrode Burst form.

"Whoa, pretty cool," Chris said.

"Hey, I wanna see myself changing into Electrode form too!" Mallow said.

"Me too!" Lillie said.

"Sure," Aviva said as she began recording again.

"Electrode Burst!" Mallow and Lillie changed into their Electrode Burst forms.

Then, the slowed recording of their transformation was shown, their bodies enveloped by light and gradually becoming rounder into balls.

"Seeing this, I wonder what it looks like underneath the light," Ash said.

"Yeah, and also, what happens to our clothes?" Mallow said. "They disappear when we change into Electrode form and when we change back, our clothes are back too."

"And that's the end of another experiment, does anyone have any idea what we could do next?" Aviva asked, but no one had any other ideas. "Well, I guess that's the end then."

"Well, I sure enjoyed finding out more things we can do with our Burst Hearts," Ash said.

"Let's do something like this again sometimes," Lillie said, and everyone agreed.
