Chapter 457

However, judging by the iron tracks, these Pokémon should also have their own corresponding "ancestors," and I don't know if my main team will also have future forms.

So he decisively proposed his idea to the clearly more knowledgeable Qingyu.

Qingyu then thought for a while and shook his head.

"As far as I know, there probably isn't one."

Gigalith itself is already very powerful; if it were to get a Paradox form, that would be too much.

Wait, maybe not necessarily...

Among the Paradox forms of pseudo-legendary Pokémon, a certain Iron Jugulis seems even weaker than its original form!

"Is that so? What a pity."

Dawa sighed helplessly and could only express regret.

After all, what exactly is in Zone Zero isn't up to him, and it seems Paldea doesn't even have a population of Iron Balls, so it's only natural that there are no corresponding Paradox Pokémon.

"If only I could personally visit Zone Zero."

It's a pity that Zone Zero is currently closed; otherwise, Dawa would really want to go see it himself.

"Maybe there will be a chance in the future."

Seeing this, Qingyu silently smiled.

If Dawa truly wants to go down, it would definitely be a good thing for Paldea.

After all, the reason Zone Zero has remained closed for so long is only one—

The Paradox Pokémon inside and the wild Pokémon left over from years of poison cultivation are too ferocious; ordinary trainers going down could truly face life-threatening danger.

Meanwhile, the Alliance, clearly short-staffed after previous incidents, is already doing well just to operate normally.

Naturally, there's no extra energy to continue exploration; they can only temporarily seal Zone Zero, waiting for this year's Champion Road to produce a batch of strong newcomers before restarting the exploration plan.

And Dawa's strength needs no further explanation—he is absolutely not inferior to their Chief Champion Ci, and may even be stronger.

If by then we can lure the obviously interested Dawa here, sending newcomers down to explore would make the Alliance feel more at ease.

Although it feels a bit strange, as the Fengyuanlian Alliance Champion, Dawa coming to Paldea to share burdens and solve problems, while our Alliance's affairs are completely handed over to Mikeli as proxy...

Well, this is very Champion-like.

"Then I truly hope that when the time comes, I can explore Zone Zero again with Teacher Yu."

For Qingyu's polite words, Dawa didn't think much, smiled and replied, then spoke again.

"Speaking of which, originally it was just my personal willful request; I didn't expect Teacher Yu to so decisively agree, letting my Paldea trip experience even more interesting things."

"Even though it's our first meeting, I feel like old friends—indeed, my compatibility with Teacher Yu must be very good?"

Dawa narrowed his eyes, looking at Qingyu.

"I owe Teacher Yu such a great favor; I must find a way to repay it."

"I recall Teacher Yu's companions should include a Lucario; from past livestreams, Teacher Yu should have some understanding of Mega Evolution, right?"

"So Teacher Yu should know..."

"Lucario is also one of the Pokémon confirmed to have Mega Evolution, right?"

Upon hearing this, Qingyu immediately raised his eyebrows.

"Mega Lucario?"

Dawa saying this makes his meaning very obvious—

Is he going to give me a Mega Evolution Stone?

Indeed, that wealthy and generous Young Master Dewen, who just cleared the first playthrough and gave the protagonist a pseudo-legendary Iron Ball!

Truly worthy of you, Perfect Man Dawa, eternal top brother!

Given that special energy has been confirmed to exist in the Fengyuan region, Dawa's understanding of Mega Evolution is clearly greater than Qingyu originally imagined.

Perhaps the Fengyuan region's research progress on Mega Evolution is not inferior to that of the Kalos region.

Under these circumstances, knowing which Pokémon possess Mega Evolution power is indeed quite normal.

Moreover, Dewen Company, the Dawa family's enterprise, has its main business in energy development and metal refining; not only is it a large corporation rivaling Silph Co., but it is also the main force researching this peculiar phenomenon in the Fengyuan region.

Regarding the development of the Navigator App and learning devices, for Dewen Company, this can only be considered a "side business."

And as the Young Master of Dewen, Dawa taking out a Mega Evolution Stone as a "friendship fee" to befriend Qingyu is indeed a very reasonable act.

Noticing Qingyu's expression change, Dawa's smile widened further as he continued:

"Among all currently known Pokémon with evolution potential, Mega Lucario is also very powerful."

"If used well, perhaps it could let Teacher Yu's Lucario grow even stronger."

"However, because I came to Paldea for travel, I don't have other Pokémon evolution stones on me, so after I return, I'll contact the steward to send the evolution stone to the Sunshine Gym."

"By the way, actually, our Dewen Company also holds part of the shares in Pokémon·Champion, so we know some news."

"If Teacher Yu is interested in the new version, Mega Evolution should soon go live in the game, letting more people understand the charm of this peculiar phenomenon."

"If it's Teacher Yu, he should soon be able to develop entirely new tactics based on Pokémon's Mega Evolution?"

After speaking, without waiting for Qingyu's reply, Dawa decisively and gracefully walked onto Gigalith's head and waved at Qingyu.

"In short, I'm very happy with this trip; I hope we can have adventures together with Teacher Yu in the future."

"Then, goodbye~"

Afterward, in Qingyu's puzzled gaze, Dawa quickly vanished riding on Gigalith.

Only Qingyu remained, standing in the Baking Desert, scratching his head.

"According to the normal process of the Legendary Path, shouldn't one first eat a sandwich on the spot before leaving?"

As if detecting a keyword, while Qingyu complained, a Poké Ball in his pocket instantly began to shake, and soon Miloton appeared before him.

"Gah-oh!"

Miloton raised its head high, unjustifiably arrogant, letting out a low roar with an extremely obvious meaning.

Let's eat!

To be honest, this weekend has been quite meaningful for Yu Qingyu.

In just two days, he directly speedran two treasure guardians, allowing Milletun to partially restore its strength once again.

The sour seasoning guarded by the Earthquake Treasure Guardian corresponds to the gliding ability, further enhancing Milletun's mobility.

Only one piece remains to complete the set of five seasonings.

After fully charging with the sandwich, Milletun went all out, carrying Yu Qingyu back to the Sunshine Dojo before nightfall.

Just like yesterday, as he approached the door, Yu Qingyu saw a line of small text appear before his eyes again.

【Main Quest "Legendary Path" updated.】

【Current Quest: Collect secret seasonings, awaken Milletun's peak form. (Current progress: 4/5)】

【Reward: Random golden item *1, currently being distributed……】

【Reward: "Dragon Milk Powder" has been distributed!】

Upon receiving the message, Yu Qingyu suddenly felt a heavy weight in his hand.

Looking down, sure enough, it was a can of milk powder in transparent glass packaging.

After staring at it for a few seconds, its information quickly appeared before his eyes.

Dragon Milk Powder (Gold): Though it looks like an ordinary can of milk powder with no special features, it actually contains all the nutrients necessary for a dragon-type to grow, aiding the growth and development of most dragon-type Pokémon.

This time, there were no strange things like snow dolls or sandstorm dolls.

But it doesn't seem to have gotten much better either?

I've heard of cow's milk and goat's milk, but this is the first time I've seen dragon milk.

I wonder what it tastes like.

Yu Qingyu instinctively lowered his head and glanced at the milk powder can he was holding in both hands.

The function of this item is already quite obvious—it's for baby dragons, to help them quickly pass through the juvenile phase.

After spending this time together, Yu Qingyu gradually understood why the official name for pseudo-legendary Pokémon is "late-blooming Pokémon."

If one were to start from scratch, the breeding cycle for a pseudo-legendary Pokémon would be terribly long.

Even Zhulan's Garchomp and Daito's Iron Bells accompanied them through almost their entire childhood, only evolving after development was complete during their travels.

Yu Qingyu does have the time to wait slowly, and he has made the corresponding preparations.

But now, with this dragon milk from who-knows-where, maybe the baby dragon can gather enough strength a bit faster?

Yu Qingyu thought to himself.
