Chapter 690
Mega Evolution, also known as Super Evolution or Ultra Evolution.
In the game, its effect is to allow a Pokémon to complete a temporary evolution within a single battle; aside from HP, its five base stats will either increase or decrease.
Most of these changes trend toward a more reasonable distribution of stats.
Of course, there are also tragic cases where Pokémon that cannot learn Dragon Dance end up with decreased Speed.
Mega Evolution is a power that has yet to be discovered in the world where Su Hao resides.
The reason is likely that no one has ever appeared who simultaneously possesses the Pokémon corresponding to a Mega Stone, the Key Stone, and a bond strong enough to trigger Mega Evolution.
Therefore, Su Hao cannot guess exactly how much strength can be gained after Mega Evolution.
In the game, a Pokémon's total base stats increase by 100 after Mega Evolution, but in reality, the boost brought by Mega Evolution is likely quite significant.
Under Mewtwo's gaze, Su Hao slightly raised his right hand; the Key Stone embedded in his glove was already primed and ready.
Mewtwo observed that the seven-colored hues on this key item were layered from deep to light, colorful and clearly defined.
Furthermore, it had a three-dimensional black pattern in the center resembling a DNA helix.
It looked incredibly mysterious.
Racing against time, Su Hao explained: "This is a Key Stone. It will resonate with the Lucarionite inside Lucario, stimulating the potential hidden within its body."
Su Hao's Aura, which had already reached its peak—and could even be called the strongest—gradually spread out.
The Key Stone in his hand and the Lucarionite inside Lucario shone brilliantly within the Aura, like stars in the night sky.
"When the two stones resonate, the bond and emotions between the Trainer and the Pokémon become a bridge, drawing out the power hidden deep within."
As he spoke, Su Hao tapped the Key Stone with his left hand, and his deeply resonating Aura guided Lucario to touch the Mega Stone within its body.
In an instant, a radiance that perhaps only the Light of Evolution could rival burst forth brilliantly, using the Key Stone and the Mega Stone as its base.
A powerful energy field stirred up a storm, and the light erupting from the Key Stone and the Mega Stone each transformed into four energy chains.
Four chains of brilliant golden energy erupted from the Key Stone.
Four chains of indigo energy erupted from the Mega Stone.
The energy chains intersected and merged, then began to transform into the most dazzling white light from the point of contact, until everything was completely covered.
Within Mewtwo's surprised line of sight.
The light turned into an indestructible bridge, and the bond transformed into power.
"Awoo—!"
Under Lucario's piercing, wolf-like howl, the dazzling Light of Evolution rapidly enveloped it.
Lucario raised its head slightly, accepting the baptism of immense energy; shrouded in light, it was undergoing an unprecedented transformation.
At the same time, Lucario's momentum climbed steadily.
When the momentum rose to its peak, a clear sound like shattering glass rang out, and the light turned into thousands of fragments that scattered.
When Lucario revealed its true form, Mewtwo's face was filled with shock and disbelief.
Lucario could actually... still evolve!?
And... what is this exaggerated increase in strength!?
Compared to Lucario, Mega Lucario's height did not change much, but its physique became much stronger, and the muscles under its body contained unknown, powerful strength.
More black patterns appeared on its surface, and the fur behind its head became more voluminous, resembling a stand-up collar, giving it a unique air of dominance.
Its palms and the backs of its feet turned red, and more steel spikes appeared.
If any unlucky fellow were to be beaten by Mega Lucario's fists covered in steel spikes, it would likely be miserable.
Not only its strength, but Mega Lucario's Aura also increased explosively due to sharing Su Hao's Master-level Aura.
Mewtwo conservatively estimated that Lucario, originally at the mid-Elite level, had completed this evolution and its strength had actually leaped directly to the early Professional level.
It was simply... a leap in the level of life!!
After completing the evolution, Mega Lucario calmly opened its red eyes, feeling the
powerful strength within its body that was different from before; it couldn't help but be intoxicated for a moment, followed by a surge of excitement.
So, Lucario was not its final destination.
Su Hao was right; it still had further possibilities.
In Su Hao's eyes, Mega Lucario's luxurious panel flickered into view.
Pokémon: 【Mega Lucario】
Type: 【Fighting + Steel】
Gender: 【Male】
Ability: 【Adaptability】 (Increases the power of moves of the same type as itself)
Level: 【Early Professional】
Held Item: 【Lucarionite】
Moves: 【Teleport, Aura Sphere, Meteor Mash, Swords Dance, Calm Mind, Extreme Speed, Bone Rush...】
Terrifying.
That was all Su Hao could say.
With Mega Evolution, Lucario's strength had taken a direct leap.
Glancing at the three-minute countdown remaining, Su Hao curled his lips into a smile and said to Mewtwo: "Help us test how much our strength has increased after evolving?"
"Awoo—"
Mega Lucario nodded gently; it wanted to try using the seemingly inexhaustible power within its body.
"Come on."
Mewtwo was stunned for a moment, then hooked its right hand toward Su Hao and Mega Lucario.
In the deep resonance state of Mega Evolution, Su Hao and Lucario had become a single entity, understanding what the other was thinking without the need for words.
But—
Calling out the move name is what makes it a Pokémon battle after all!!
"Mega Lucario, Extreme Speed—Meteor Mash!"
Mega Lucario's body glowed with fluorescent light, and in the blink of an eye, its figure disappeared from its original spot. Following a sonic boom, Mega Lucario charged toward Mewtwo, kicking up a wave of sound.
At the same time, thousands of starlights began to flow over its fists, and the brilliance, as bright as stars in the sky, fell upon Mewtwo like raindrops.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Violent roars suddenly rang out; although not as fast as Bullet Punch, Meteor Mash, which was far more powerful, exploded against Mewtwo.
Feeling the slight pain on its body, a look of admiration flashed across Mewtwo's face. It deployed a Psychic barrier at will, directly knocking Mega Lucario away.
In mid-air, Lucario gathered a massive amount of Aura.
An Aura Sphere, three times larger than ever before, smashed toward Mewtwo like a falling meteorite.
Mewtwo casually condensed a small Shadow Ball compressed with immense energy and threw it. The Aura Sphere was instantly shattered, and the blast hit Mega Lucario, directly knocking it out of its Mega Evolution state.
With the countdown in his eyes drawing closer, Su Hao caught the falling Lucario with ease. Viridian Force surged, and he returned it to its Luxury Ball, asking with a smile: "How was it, Mega Evolution?"
"A very good power. Most importantly, it will burst with even greater brilliance as strength increases."
Mewtwo stated its understanding of this.
Suddenly, the sound of gears interlocking appeared in Su Hao's ears.
Clearly, Mewtwo heard it too.
It was time. Su Hao thought for a moment, then flashed a brilliant smile and waved: "Mewtwo, I have one last thing to say."
"Speak."
"Your evolution is divided into X-Evolution, which uses mental power to strengthen the body, and Y-Evolution, which strengthens mental power to the limit. Develop in these directions!"
"Your evolution can be achieved by relying on your own power. After all, you are the strongest Pokémon and Trainer, aren't you?"
Hearing this, a look of being moved suddenly appeared on Mewtwo's face.
"Thanks to your help, I was able to return to my own world smoothly. Thank you... and, goodbye!"
An incredibly mysterious power suddenly appeared above Su Hao's head, enveloping him, followed by a burst of brilliant light!
The sound of gears gradually ceased.
Mewtwo opened its eyes. In its ears was the beeping of detection instruments, and in Mewtwo's perception, Su Hao's aura had completely disappeared from this world.
Mewtwo waved at the void, a trace of loneliness appearing in its eyes, and whispered to itself: "Goodbye, my
friend."
