Chapter 130

The two crystals half-encased in rock bore strange patterns.

Ash widened his eyes, his gaze constantly on those two rocks, looking astonished and incredulous.

"What is that?"

Xiaoxia and Brock didn't understand as much as Ash, and they also couldn't sense the secret of those two stones with his waveguide ability.

Ji Ke was greatly surprised, never expecting Ash to still be able to resonate with those two stones.

Moreover, everyone watching the film saw the stone, one side exposed, clearly visible; some people knew what gem it was.

Professor Buratano was especially excited; that was exactly a Mega Evolution Stone.

【Professor Buratano: All can resonate with the Key Stone; it seems the bond between Black Satoshi and the Fire Dragon directly affected the Key Stone.】

【Ai Lan: There are two conditions for reacting with the Key Stone: first, the Trainer must carry a Key Stone, while the Poké Ball must carry the corresponding Mega Stone; second, there must be a deep bond between the Poké Ball and the Trainer.】

【Black Satoshi and the Fire Dragon didn't even have a Key Stone, yet they could still react to it?】

【Kaluno: Could it be that the deep bond between Black Satoshi and the Fire Dragon awakened the Key Stone, just like Bai Xiao Zhi and the Koga Ninja Frog, able to Mega Evolve without a Key Stone?】

【Hmm, the Koga Ninja Frog's Mega Evolution doesn't require a Key Stone.】

"Mega Evolution Stone!"

Ash took the Mega Evolution Stone that had floated over, holding it in his hand, and from it he could sense a strange energy.

From Doctor Daimu, they learned that Evolution triggered by a Key Stone is called Mega Evolution.

Mega Evolution is a temporary Evolution; some Poké Ball originally thought unable to evolve further break their original limits, gain further Evolution, and can release hidden power in a short time.

Another one floated to in front of the Fire Dragon.

"Fire Dragon, here it comes!"

The Key Stone in Ash's hand burst forth with unprecedented brilliant light, and the Fire Dragon likewise erupted with several beams of resplendent light responding to it; these lights were like lively silk ribbons, intertwining and entwining in the air, finally completely wrapping the Fire Dragon's massive body.

At that moment, everything around seemed to freeze; only the intertwining lights kept leaping, like the pulse of life, and everyone's gaze was locked on the Fire Dragon bathed in light, their hearts filled with anticipation.

As the light gradually intensified, the Fire Dragon's body began to undergo subtle yet profound changes.

Its whole body was covered in deep black skin like the night sky, but from the chin extending to the tail tip it was deep sky-blue, and moreover the limbs, tail, and wings became longer.

The inner side of the wings turned deep blue, and the lower ends of the wings split into several arc-corner-pointed tips.

Most striking were the two strands of lively sky-blue flame on either side of its mouth, not scorching like ordinary flame but exuding a cold, noble aura.

Its appearance was extremely cool; even its sharp eyes seemed to see everything, revealing an intimidating dignity and wisdom not to be underestimated.

"Can the Fire Dragon evolve further?"

Brock was greatly astonished; at this moment his eyes widened enormously.

"According to Doctor Daimu, the Fire Dragon's current form is what is called Mega Evolution."

Ash's eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at the cool Fire Dragon.

Now the Fire Dragon is called Super Fire Dragon X, abbreviated as X Spray.

"I've never seen a Fire Dragon like this before; I don't know why, but I feel the current Fire Dragon is quite different from a normal Fire Dragon, both in appearance and in the aura of its flame, there's already a big difference."

Jike carefully observed the Fire Dragon; this was her first time seeing such a situation. Before, many Fire Dragon trainers had come to challenge Fire Dragon Valley, but this situation had never been seen before; their Fire Dragons had not resonated with the Key Stone, let alone evolve into this form.

"Roar!"

Leien looked at the changed Fire Dragon, and could also feel the surging flames on its body, the color different from his, the power much greater; his face showed an unprecedented solemnity—this guy, if he can't beat it, just cheats with evolution, and this evolution's commotion is not small.

"Fire Dragon, launch fire blast!"

Ash could feel the Fire Dragon's whole body surging with power.

The Fire Dragon opened its mouth, and scorching blue flames instantly gathered, like a blazing blue fireball directly bombing Leien.

This fire blast was extremely fierce, catching Leien off guard; Leien raised his wings in front of him, but even so, the scorching flames engulfed his whole body, Leien painfully howled as his body was mercilessly burned by the flames.

"The power has increased so much!"

Jike, standing aside, stared dumbfounded.

Leien forcefully resisted, then hurriedly flew away.

"Dragon Claw!"

X Spray's form flashed, and it swiftly rushed toward the direction Leien fled.

Facing Leien's Primitive Power, X Spray used Dragon Claw; a light-green Dragon Claw traced a fierce arc in the air, easily smashing the rocks Leien had released into powder, and it charged straight through.

It had been a long time since he'd been pushed like this, and feeling his own pain, Leien burst out a roar, holding his fist aloft with fierce flame, his fist blazing with scorching fire like a burning meteor, and he fiercely smashed down toward X Spray's Dragon Claw from above.

The flame fist and Dragon Claw collided in midair.

"Boom!"

A shockwave swept outward, blowing over everyone.

In this clash of forces, X Spray's Dragon Claw clearly had the upper hand; with a fierce push, it knocked Leien's flame fist off course, then followed with a heavy Dragon Claw strike slamming into Leien's belly.

"Dragon Dive!"

X Spray's body was instantly enveloped in a thick layer of Dragon-type energy, as if donning an invisible armor, and it slammed straight into Leien with lightning speed.

Leien couldn't dodge in time and was heavily struck by X Spray; its body instantly plummeted from the air, crashing to the ground like a meteorite. This impact kicked up a strong airflow, stirring a cloud of dust that completely obscured Leien's figure.

X Spray landed steadily, and everyone watched the situation on the field.

Leien struggled to stand, let out a roar, shot a flame toward the sky, then fell silent and collapsed backward, losing his ability to battle.

"Lost?"

Jike looked at the fallen Leien; his winning streak was actually broken by Ash's Fire Dragon.

Seeing Leien lose his battle ability, X Spray and Ash both relaxed.

X Spray reverted to Fire Dragon form; the Fire Dragon and Ash each breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing. X Spray gradually changed back to ordinary Fire Dragon form, panting heavily, looking very weak; Ash also looked exhausted, the fierce battle having taken a heavy toll on him as well.

He thought this new power was too strong, hard to control, and moreover the Wave Guide boost placed high demands on stamina, making it unsuitable for prolonged battle.

Xiaoxia stepped forward to check the situation, anxiously looking at Ash, fearing he had exhausted his stamina from overusing the Wave Guide.

Celebi was very sensible at this time, and jumped down.

【Yulongdu: mega Evolution plus wave guide bonus, Charizard's strength surged to this level in a short time, it seems to be a huge burden for Ash and itself as well.】

【Ai Lan: Charizard's super Evolution doesn't seem to cause much damage to itself, it should be the problem of Black Satoshi and Charizard themselves, temporarily unable to sustain such power for long.】

【Dandi: mega Evolution also has such limits, our Galar's Gigantamax basically has no limits; as long as you come to Galar, you can use it.】

【Da Wu: How is this like pulling people to your Galar?】

【Qi Ba Na: Dandi is correct, our Galar region's Gigantamax really has hardly any limits, everyone can come experience it.】

Dandi was very happy, because he could use this bulletin board to promote the Galar region.

This is perfect for attracting that legendary trainer over; I can then have a duel with him to see how strong that legendary trainer is.
