Metagrossite?! Bruce's Luck
As soon as Bruce's voice fell, Professor Charles Darwin stepped forward and ran towards Bruce with astonishing speed.
In the next second, he stared intently at Bruce, gripped his shoulders with two slightly rough hands, his eyes fixed and his tone frantic: "What is Mega Evolution?!"
After a long while, Professor Charles Darwin released Bruce's shoulders and took half a step back.
First, he looked at the Key Stone around Bruce's neck, then glanced at the evolution stone around Mega Gardevoir's neck.
He lowered his gaze and muttered to himself: "There is a wonderful energy between these two stones..."
"In an instant, it seems there was a magical power connecting the two stones, and then an illusion occurred."
"It is this energy that caused Gardevoir to change."
Hearing Professor Charles Darwin talking to himself, Bruce couldn't help but feel inwardly impressed. As expected from an authority in the field of Pokemon evolution, the professor had observed carefully enough to directly reveal the essence of Mega Evolution.
Then, Professor Charles Darwin walked to the opposite side of Mega Gardevoir, carefully looking her up and down. His dark eyes glinted faintly.
"Her appearance has changed..."
"Her breathing has also changed."
As soon as his voice fell, Mega Gardevoir's competition condition suddenly lifted, and she reverted to her normal Gardevoir form.
"What?"
Seeing this, Professor Charles Darwin was a bit surprised and let out a faint sigh.
"Is it a temporary competition condition?"
At that moment, Bruce suddenly said: "Professor Charles Darwin, Mega Evolution is also called Mega Evolution."
"It's a temporary evolution that happens during battle."
"Some Pokemon that were originally thought to be incapable of evolving can surpass their original limits and achieve a higher evolution."
"Gardevoir is one of them."
Hearing Bruce's explanation, Professor Charles Darwin frowned slightly, appearing lost in thought, nodding occasionally.
"The key to Mega Evolution lies in the Trainer's Key Stone and the Evolution Stone that the Pokemon carries. These two will resonate."
"After many trials, I discovered that only if there is a deep bond between the Trainer and the Pokemon can the hidden power of the two stones be activated."
Since the elderly professor was someone Bruce could trust, he didn't hide the relevant information and directly shared it with him.
"A bond that's deep enough?"
Hearing Bruce's words, Professor Charles Darwin's eyes sparkled, and he muttered a few more words quietly. Then, he looked at Bruce and asked impatiently: "Do you have any other Pokemon that can experience Mega Evolution?"
His tone was fanatical, filled with anticipation.
Bruce averted his gaze from Professor Charles Darwin's burning eyes, cleared his throat awkwardly, shook his head, and said: "Professor, Mega Evolution requires the cooperation of both the Key Stone and the Evolution Stone."
"I only have Gardevoir's Evolution Stone."
Upon hearing this, Professor Charles Darwin looked at Gardevoir's stone closely, then furrowed his brows and murmured: "I feel like I've seen this thing somewhere before..."
The next second, it seemed he remembered something, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said excitedly: "I remember now."
"The head of the Devon Group once held an exhibition, and I saw similar stones at that exhibition," Professor Charles Darwin said.
Devon Group.
Bruce had heard a little about this group, and it seemed to be one of Avalon's top 500 companies, large in scale and capital, involved in both manufacturing and service industries.
In front of Bruce's gaze, Professor Charles Darwin nodded again and said: "Yes, they are almost identical stones, only the color inside is different."
"But if, as you say, each Evolution Stone corresponds to a different Pokemon, then the color of the Evolution Stone is the most significant difference."
"The professor's assumption is correct. The shape and size of the Evolution Stones are the same, but the color inside is different." Bruce nodded.
Professor Charles Darwin smiled as expected and continued: "The CEO of Devon Group and his son are interested in collecting gemstones and hold an exhibition every year for others to come and see the stones they have collected."
"I saw exactly the same stone at that exhibition."
"But I don't exactly remember what color it was," he shook his head again with regret.
The CEO of the company... the father and son who loved collecting gemstones...
The elements were too specific, and in Bruce's mind, a figure emerged of a champion who dug up stones all around the world without doing his actual job properly.
Noticing that Bruce hadn't replied for a while, Professor Charles Darwin spoke again, then looked at Bruce and said in a firm tone: "You will stay in the lab for these few days."
"I'll find a way to borrow the Evolution Stone I once saw for research purposes."
Bruce couldn't help but recall: "Professor, the Evolution Stone corresponds to different Pokemon, and it's very likely that I just don't have the corresponding Pokemon for that Evolution Stone."
"Yes." Professor Charles Darwin nodded slightly and continued: "Alright, we'll borrow it to take a look."
Immediately, Professor Charles Darwin fixed his gaze on Bruce, his face gradually becoming serious as he spoke in a deep voice: "From the current situation, I have reason to believe this is definitely a groundbreaking discovery."
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said quickly: "As long as we can prove that there is more than one Pokemon that has evolved even further, this will definitely be the biggest discovery of the year."
"None of them!"
Although it was a brief and concise statement, as an authority in the field of Pokemon evolution, Professor Charles Darwin immediately saw the enormous impact that Mega Evolution could bring. This would definitely be a storm that swept through the entire academic world!
In this way, Bruce logically stayed in the lab.
If you want to complete an excellent piece of work, you naturally need enough real data as support, and the data that a single Mega Evolution can provide is too scarce.
In Professor Charles Darwin's mind, he needed to study the process of Mega Evolution repeatedly, and it would be better to study the Mega Evolution of multiple Pokemon so that the data obtained would be more effective.
Devon Group,
In the office.
Cobalt Stone, who was handling his affairs, lifted his eyelids and glanced at the phone on his desk.
His hair was neatly styled to a shiny finish, and he looked refined in a well-tailored suit.
The phone rang, Cobalt Stone cleared his throat, answered, and said quietly: "Who is this?"
The next second, upon hearing the voice on the other end, Cobalt Stone immediately sat up straight, a wide smile spreading across his face as he said: "Ah, Professor Charles Darwin, what's the matter?"
After a moment, Cobalt Stone showed a thoughtful expression, tapping the table gently with his hand, producing a sharp sound.
"Oh, I know the stone Professor Charles Darwin mentioned."
"That stone was found in the secret place of the East Mine. It's clear and looks nice, so we kept it."
"Since the professor needs it for research, then I'll give it to him," Cobalt Stone said with a smile.
The two declined, and Cobalt Stone hung up the phone amidst sounds of thanks.
Sending the stone seemed like a trivial matter for Cobalt Stone, and his attention quickly returned to the stack of documents in front of him.
Charles Darwin's Lab,
Professor Charles Darwin hung up the phone, looked at Bruce, and said leisurely: "The Evolution Stone will be delivered soon."
Bruce narrowed his eyes, but his attention was focused on the secret land of the East Mine that Cobalt Stone had mentioned.
The Secret Realm of the East Mine is one of Avalon's great secret realms. There are many mines and caves in this secret realm, and it's a paradise for Rock and Ground-type Pokemon.
Of course, it is also a paradise for many mineral enthusiasts. If you're lucky, you can find many precious stones.
Here, Evolution Stones are also found, which makes sense.
"Well, the old man will definitely send someone to this kind of place to search for Evolution Stones," Bruce thought.
With all the facilities in the lab, Bruce sent Gardevoir to attempt Mega Evolution again and again for Professor Charles Darwin to study.
In the process of repeated Mega Evolutions, Bruce noticed that his emotional bond with Gardevoir seemed to deepen gradually, and the duration of the Mega Evolution form was slowly extending.
During this time, Bruce met two other researchers in the lab, both assistants to Professor Charles Darwin.
Time passed slowly, and before they knew it, night had fallen.
"Professor, your package has arrived."
Serena's voice suddenly broke the silence in the lab.
Serena hurriedly ran in holding ten delicate wooden boxes in her hands.
So fast?
Bruce was a bit confused, surprised by Devon Group's efficiency.
Professor Charles Darwin nodded slightly, took the wooden box, and slowly opened it under everyone's watchful eyes.
What caught their attention was a crystal orb with a khaki and white center.
"Is this it?" Professor Charles Darwin picked up the orb and looked at Bruce.
Bruce stared at the orb in front of him, stunned. If he remembered correctly, it should be Metagrossite.
"Is this a coincidence?" Bruce thought secretly, a little unsure about his luck.
The Metagrosshe had been searching for so eagerly was now so simply before his eyes?
He was stunned for a moment, marveling at his good fortune.
As the thoughts passed, Bruce nodded with a strange expression and said: "Professor, this is the Evolution Stone."
"The corresponding Pokemon is... Metagross."
"Exactly, I have a Metagross."
As soon as these words were spoken, Professor Charles Darwin's expression also became strange. His eyes blinked rapidly, first looking at the Metagrossite, then at Bruce, unsure of what he was thinking.
"In short, try it first."
After a moment of silence, Professor Darwin finally spoke.
