This is the Result of My Research, Mega Evolution!
"Hello, is this Professor Charles Darwin's laboratory?"
Inside the Metropolis University, in a quiet corner, Bruce arrived at the location of Professor Charles Darwin's laboratory.
The university occupies a large area and has numerous laboratories. Each laboratory occupies a designated space, which is not much different from an animation laboratory.
This is a tranquil courtyard, where a calm girl in a white lab coat and glasses is sitting at the door.
She was sitting at a table with a pile of books on it.
The girl raised her face in surprise and looked at Bruce. She was puzzled for a moment, then asked, "Yes?"
"Excuse me, are you...?"
She was genuinely surprised that outsiders would come to this remote and undisputed laboratory.
"I'm here to see Professor Charles Darwin."
"My name is Bruce Bayne, and I already made an appointment with Professor Charles Darwin," Bruce said with a slight smile.
"Bruce... I think I've heard that name somewhere," the girl with glasses muttered, then reached out and pulled a crumpled registration form from the bottom of a pile of books.
—"Sorry, no one's been here for a while," she said, smiling shyly, handing him the form and a blindfold.
Bruce bent down and completed the information.
—"Alright, let me take you first, the professor should be conducting an experiment," she said, standing up.
"By the way, my name is Serena Walker," she turned to Bruce and introduced herself.
Bruce nodded slightly and followed Serena into the laboratory.
As they entered through the door, they could see several small houses.
"This is the research area, this is the conference room, and this is the Pokemon area," Serena gestured and introduced.
"Pokemon area?"
"Yes, the Pokemon area," Serena nodded and explained carefully, "Because Professor Charles Darwin's research is related to Pokemon evolution, various Pokemon are needed as research materials."
"Can I take a look?" Bruce asked curiously.
"No problem," Serena said with a warm smile and continued, "The original intention of Professor Charles Darwin's research is to get more trainers to pay attention to the evolution of Pokemon."
The laboratory was very quiet, and it seemed like only the conversation between Bruce and Serena could be heard.
Soon, Serena led Bruce into a room, and Bruce looked around, only to realize that something was hidden inside.
It was something similar to the Pokemon Breeder House where Bruce first met Torchic, simulating a completely wild ecosystem, surrounded by trees and gurgling water.
Obviously, this Pokemon area occupies a vast area of land.
Bruce looked around, and Pokemon appeared one by one, but most were in their first or second forms, and there were no Pokemon in their final forms.
Moreover, since the research content focuses on Pokeemon evolution, the final forms of Pokemon aren't valuable for research.
Upon a closer look, Bruce noticed that most of the Pokemon here were quite strong, many of them having gym-level or even master-level ratings.
After observing for a while, Bruce said to Serena, who was standing nearby: "Alright, let's go, we shouldn't disturb them."
Serena nodded and left the area with Bruce.
Since Professor Charles Darwin had not yet appeared, Serena took Bruce to sit in the waiting room.
"Are you a student at Metropolis University?" Bruce asked curiously.
Serena adjusted her glasses and smiled, answering, "Well, after graduating from Metropolis University, I applied to join Professor Charles Darwin's laboratory, and now I'm a member of the lab."
"I'm just a little assistant," she added quietly.
"Why did you come to find Professor Charles Darwin this time?" Serena couldn't help but ask, curious.
Bruce smiled slightly and replied, "I've discovered something new about Pokemon evolution, and I hope to receive training from Professor Charles Darwin."
"Oh," Serena nodded thoughtfully, then blinked her glasses and said excitedly, "There are fewer and fewer people like you these days."
Seeing Bruce's slightly puzzled expression, Serena explained quietly, "People often only pay attention to the growth and strengthening of Pokemon, but they always ignore the more essential existence."
"Nobody wants to bother studying Pokemon evolution."
Bruce smiled and said, "That's why talents like you are even more valuable and respectable."
Hearing these words, Serena's eyes lit up, her mouth slightly parted, and she looked at Bruce with a much kinder expression.
Just as Serena was about to speak, the sound of firm, powerful footsteps approached from not too far away, and both of them looked up at the same time.
Not far away, an elderly man in a white lab coat was approaching.
Although his hair was completely white, he walked with extraordinary vivacity, and his black eyes revealed a joyful spirit.
"Professor Charles Darwin."
Upon seeing this person, Serena instantly stood up from her stool, looked at Professor Charles Darwin, and greeted him respectfully.
Professor Charles Darwin's face remained unchanged. He only nodded slightly, then turned his head to look at Bruce, his deep eyes examining him carefully.
"This is..." Upon seeing this, Serena quickly introduced Bruce's identity.
However, Professor Charles Darwin suddenly raised his right hand, causing Serena's voice to abruptly stop.
"No need to introduce him, I know who he is."
"Anyway, very few outsiders come to our laboratory throughout the year," Professor Charles Darwin joked with a blank expression.
Bruce smiled slightly and said, "A quiet place is better for research."
Professor Charles Darwin hummed slightly, then nodded toward Bruce and casually said, "I already know why you're here from your grandfather."
"Let's not delay it, let's demonstrate directly."
"If necessary, I'll help with guidance."
Bruce could tell that Professor Charles Darwin was a vigorous and efficient person.
Moreover, many researchers who conduct studies have this personality, and their time is very precious.
Bruce nodded quickly and said, "Professor Charles Darwin, I need an open space."
"Let's go, I'll take you there," Professor Charles Darwin said with a regal tone.
"Professor, I also want to see it," Serena said quickly.
"Come here together." Professor Charles Darwin turned and walked toward a room without looking back.
Serena chuckled, then leaned toward Bruce and curiously asked, "Bruce, is the result of your research about Pokemon evolution?"
Bruce nodded and said, "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come here."
Only then did Serena realize that she seemed to be saying something silly, and she smiled awkwardly. Then, looking at the back of Professor Charles Darwin, she said quietly, "Bruce, although Professor Charles Darwin doesn't seem very approachable, he's actually a very nice person."
"He just doesn't want to waste the limited time, so he speaks and acts very efficiently."
Bruce nodded with a smile and replied, "Alright, I understand, older sister."
Unknowingly, Professor Charles Darwin led Bruce to an open space.
"Just show it here," Professor Charles Darwin said.
Bruce nodded slightly, walked to the center of the field, and Serena, standing to the side, cheered him on with her eyes.
Professor Charles Darwin crossed his arms and looked at Bruce with a calm expression.
Some time ago, his former proud student Colin came to him and said that he had made an important discovery about Pokemon evolution and needed his advice.
Later, when Professor Charles Darwin learned that this was an important discovery made by King John Bayne's grandson, his enthusiasm suddenly decreased significantly. However, for King John Bayne's sake, he still nodded.
Pokemon evolution is a broad and profound field that requires researchers to study a lot and have deep knowledge in fields such as Pokemonology, Criology, etc., before they can discover anything.
This is not something that can be casually discovered.
If that were the case… Pokemon researchers wouldn't be so highly regarded.
Bruce stood at the center of the field, took a Poke Ball from his waist, and pressed the button.
A white light flashed, and the differently colored Gardevoir danced, attracting the gaze of both.
"Shiny Gardevoir"
Serena's attention was immediately drawn to the differently colored Gardevoir. Her eyes didn't blink, her lips moved, and she let out a soft exclamation.
Shiny Gardevoir, no matter where it is, is the focus of attention.
However, Professor Charles Darwin's attention wasn't on Gardevoir's different color. Instead, it was the orb embedded in the necklace around Gardevoir's neck that caught his attention.
He always felt that orb was vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before.
But it wasn't exactly the same; the size and shape were almost identical.
Then, before their eyes, Bruce, with sharp eyes, quickly raised his right hand to touch the Keystone on the necklace around Gardevoir's neck, and suddenly, a dazzling rainbow light exploded.
"Gardevoir—"
"¡Gardevoir!"
Gardevoir, familiar with Mega Evolution, responded loudly. It spread its arms, and its red pupils gleamed.
Suddenly, white ridges joined the Gardevoirite and the Keystone.
Professor Charles Darwin could no longer calm down. His pupils suddenly shrank, and then his eyes widened as he stared in the opposite direction.
Bruce straightened his right hand, his calm and powerful voice resonating across the open space.
"Mega evolve!"
In an instant, a dazzling light bloomed across the field.
After an incredibly bright glow, Gardevoir's aura gradually ascended, and the evolutionary glow suddenly rose toward the sky.
Finally, the white light gradually dissipated, and the iridescent logo symbolizing Mega Evolution illuminated on Gardevoir's forehead.
Professor Charles Darwin's hands trembled slightly, and his lips continued to move, "Mega Gardevoir."
Compared to Gardevoir, Mega Gardevoir possessed an aura, grace, and nobility that was stunning, leaving an indelible impression on people.
Serena stood dumbfounded, her voice hoarse as she said, "This... what is this?"
Professor Charles Darwin didn't speak, but his deep eyes were no longer calm as they stared directly at Mega Gardevoir.
Bruce smiled and replied loudly, "This is what I discovered."
"Mega Evolution."
