The Future Belongs to Them
Although the old man was eager to try Mega Evolution, he calmed down after Bruce's reminder.
Well, although there is Alakazite now, it is still necessary for Colin to embed the evolution stone into the necklace for Alakazam to use it.
In contrast, Colin had already embedded Galladite into the necklace when he returned, just waiting to try it out.
As for the Key Stone, both of them already have it.
Compared to rare and hard-to-find evolution stones, Key Stones are more numerous and easier to find. Colin and Agatha searched at the same time and quickly found several Key Stones.
After the old man calmed down, he asked Colin to first make the necklace and then try it again at night.
The two watched as Colin's back gradually disappeared, and the old man turned his head to look at Bruce, the satisfaction in his eyes mixed with helplessness.
"How did you feel during that time?" the old man asked.
Bruce thought for a moment and then answered with a smile: "I gained a lot and progressed quickly."
For others, it is unimaginable that two Pokemon managed to reach Ace level in such a short time.
Even the old man couldn't help but murmur secretly: Why didn't I improve so quickly back then?
Hearing Bruce's answer, the old man first smiled and nodded slightly, then asked: "There may be some confusion in the Diamond Forest for a while, do you plan to continue training or not?"
Bruce understood the old man's concerns, thought for a moment, then answered decisively: "I'll continue practicing."
He paused and added: "Now my three Pokemon are at Ace level, enough to protect me."
More importantly, he also has Psychic, which is comparable to a Psychic-type Pokemon of Gym level and a bodyguard at Master level.
Although it is impossible to walk sideways in the Diamond Forest, at least there won't be any accidents.
Upon hearing this, the old man thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said: "Alright, then you can continue practicing in the Diamond Forest."
Immediately, his eyes sparkled, and his smile became suggestive: "If you encounter an invasion by a foreign organization on the way, it will be a very valuable opportunity for you to Focus."
Speaking of this, he looked at Bruce with deep black eyes and said in a deep voice: "Remember, fighting people is several times more dangerous than fighting Pokemon."
Bruce fell silent for a moment and then nodded heavily.
The hearts of people have always been unpredictable, and the battle between Trainer and Trainer is much more dangerous than ordinary Pokemon battles, especially this kind of wild battle that is not subject to the game's rules.
The so-called wild battle is a fight with no restrictions whatsoever. The Trainer can order their Pokemon to directly attack the opposing Trainer, and even cheat [using psychological tactics, etc.].
Compared to ordinary battles, field fights test the overall quality of the Trainer even more, and if one is not careful, their life could be in danger.
As a psychological master, the old man is very aware of the role psychology plays in improving a Trainer, which can completely enhance all aspects of their abilities.
After speaking a few words, Bruce seemed to have thought of something, considered his words, and said: "Grandpa, have you heard of Barrier?"
Bruce then informed the old man about the general concept of the Psychic Barrier.
"Covering the Diamond Forest with a Psychic energy barrier could serve as a timely warning," he continued.
Upon hearing this, the old man chuckled, waved his hands slightly, and said: "I knew what you mentioned before; its cost is too high, the cost-benefit ratio is not great, and it is not suitable for use in the Diamond Forest."
Hearing this, Bruce nodded thoughtfully.
According to Roy, they are close to developing a Barrier that uses Psychic energy to maintain its function, and the cost is expected to be low.
"I'll tell Grandpa once Roy is completely done," Bruce thought.
Night slowly fell, and the cold moonlight sprinkled the world.
In a closed training field,
In the center of the arena, there was a Pokemon with a green upper body and a white lower body.
It had a slim body with a thick, rounded rear and strong legs. It had red, pointed protrusions on its chest and back, and its arms were shaped like crutches, with retractable blades on the elbows.
This is Gallade, known as the Valkyrie.
【Pokemon: Gallade (Psychic/Fighting)
Ability: Justified Heart
Qualification: Champion
Level: 66 (Master)]
After seeing enough high-level Pokemon, Bruce noticed that there were very few Pokemon below Elite level, and even Champion-level ratings weren't extremely rare.
It seems they were nearing the stage where Elites could walk freely.
But as Bruce said earlier, ratings can't completely determine the upper limit of a Pokemon, but they do affect the upper limit and progress speed significantly.
Pokemon with different ratings, when raised with the same method, progress faster if they have higher ratings.
So far, Bruce hasn't seen any Pokemon whose level surpasses its own aptitude.
As you can see, it's very, very difficult.
The place was very quiet, with Bruce and the old man in the corner, silently watching Colin and Gallade.
Colin smiled broadly. He first adjusted his glasses, then squinted his eyes and raised his right hand. The Key Stone embedded in the center of his black and red glove burst into dazzling rainbow light.
"Gallade—"
"Mega Evolution!"
The usually gentle Colin almost blushed and shouted loudly.
Immediately, the brilliance of the Key Stone and the radiant evolutionary light emerging from Gallade's body intertwined and merged into a chained light.
The bright evolutionary light gradually dissipated, and the eyes of Mega Gallade became sharp, with the iridescent Mega Evolution logo lighting up above its head.
Mega Gallade's arms turned into discs, and its head and back became like helmets and capes, resembling a majestic, solitary warrior.
On the side, the old man crossed his arms, squinted his eyes, and became somewhat lost in thought while observing Mega Gallade…
"Infinitely close to Elite level…"
Infinitely close to Elite level, meaning between Master level and Elite level, in fantasy terms, it's half-step Elite.
"It's good!"
After a while, the old man had a satisfied smile on his face and spoke loudly.
Originally, Gallade had a large gap from Li Tian's king class, but this gap had been infinitely shortened through Mega Evolution, which could only be described as a miracle.
Because of this, the old man was even more hopeful that his Alakazam would pass Mega Evolution and break through the realm barrier to reach Champion level.
Pushing Colin, who was full of joy, aside, the old man took a deep breath and then threw the Poke Ball with calm eyes.
A white light bloomed and a yellow Pokemon emerged.
It had a long yellow beard, pointed long ears, a wide forehead, and a huge head with spoons on the left and right sides.
【Pokemon: Alakazam
Ability: Magic Guard
Qualification:Elite
Level: Lv 79 (Elite)]
Elite-level rating, the strength of the Elite's pinnacle!
It is curious to say that this is the first time Bruce has had close contact with the old man's trump card Pokemon, Alakazam.
This Alakazam, like William's Alakazam, has always been a dragon whose head and tail are never seen, and it's hard to find.
"By the way, no wonder the old man's Alakazam has been stuck at the peak of the Elite for so many years…" Looking at Alakazam's rating, Bruce secretly murmured.
If Alakazam's aptitude were at the Champion level, the probability of reaching Champion level would be slightly higher.
But with an Elite rating… it's always a little short.
Just when Bruce was thinking frantically, the old man was ready.
He raised his right hand and touched the bracelet with the embedded Key Stone.
For a moment, the Key Stone shone brightly and the rainbow-colored light symbolizing the power of the bond poured into Alakazam, triggering a wave of evolution.
Light!
"Alakazam—"
The old man stretched out his arms, just as vigorous as when he was young, and shouted loudly: "Mega Evolution!"
A white light enveloped Alakazam's entire body, then quickly dissipated, and the rainbow-colored Mega Evolution logo illuminated above its head!
Mega Alakazam, emerge.
Compared to Alakazam, Mega Alakazam's armor changed to a purple robe, a red crystal appeared in the center of its forehead, a sharp horn appeared at the top of its head, and its long yellow beard turned into a huge pale beard.
Additionally, its two feet remained together, and due to its Psychic ability, it floated in the air, and its two spoons grew to become five.
Mega Alakazam looked like an old scholar who had deciphered the world. Its face was expressionless, and its deep black eyes silently stared at the old man.
The old man stayed silent for a while, then a smile slowly appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Champion-level breath."
"This is the breath of a Champion."
Bruce stood aside and could clearly feel the terrifying aura emanating from Alakazam. This aura was better than any Pokemon he had seen before! It was unstoppable and invincible!
Seeing it made people tremble all over, giving a strong feeling of oppression!
This is the breath of a Champion, this is a high-level Champion!
"He really made his way to the championship..." Colin stared at Mega Alakazam floating in the air and said in a hoarse voice.
It wasn't until the scene in front of him actually happened that he was completely sure that Mega Evolution really could affect the entire world!
This storm sweeping the entire world began in Avalon, in the Hundred Thousand Mountains!
"No, Mega can affect the entire world."
"But it can't affect the underlying Trainers."
As a seeker of evolutionary stones, Colin is extremely aware of how precious evolutionary stones are, and this is definitely not something that low-level Trainers can obtain.
But Mega Evolution will have an immeasurably huge impact on higher level Trainers.
If you master enough evolutionary stones beforehand, you will have more initiative in the future.
Fortunately, they are already ahead of our times.
The future belongs to you.
It belongs to this small Vortex base.
