Chapter 591: You Are Not Allowed to Play Pokémon! Chapter 288

Sensing Aura is almost an instinct for Lucario, and it is the only one in the team that has used the power of the Mega Stone, so Qingyu entrusted it to investigate the whereabouts of the Mega Stone after Shelgon evolved.

Actually, it doesn't need Lucario to take action; Qingyu already had 90% certainty in his heart.

After all, the whole Casseroya Lake has been searched, and the answer is almost certain to be only one.

But just in case, let's probe again.

"Lucario!"

Lucario suddenly opened its eyes, its expression full of astonishment as it stared at Shelgon, who was confused and hadn't figured out the situation, and soon looked at Qingyu, nodding heavily.

Thus, the answer was revealed—

When Shelgon evolved, the Mega Stone it carried was also confusedly evolved into its body…

After confirming the answer in his heart, Qingyu couldn't help but sigh with a complex expression, turning his head to look at Shelgon, who only revealed an eye except for the white shell.

After staring for a few seconds, several small characters soon appeared in front of him.

【Shelgon (Male)】

【Attribute: Dragon】

【Ability: Rock Head】

【Moves: Double-Edge, Protect, Dragon Breath, Scary Face, Dragon Claw, Bite, Dragon Rush】

【Very stubborn personality.】

【December 20, hatched in Cabo Poco, you met it.】

【Doesn't like bitter taste.】

【Longing for the sky.】

It looks unremarkable, which is very consistent with Qingyu's imagination of "late-blooming Pokémon."

The only thing worth mentioning is Dragon Rush, which was probably inherited from its parents; it seems Bagon had never used it before.

If you have to say it, just looking at the panel, this Shelgon is simply the most ordinary existence in the entire Sunshine Gym, without any signs of cheating.

However, this is just the appearance…

"Confirmed, there is indeed a group of special energy in Shelgon's stomach."

On the other side, Mewtwo also soon stopped controlling psychic powers and turned to look at Qingyu.

Except for Lucario, Mewtwo's psychic powers can also show various functions beyond imagination.

Coupled with Qingyu, a total of three experts held a consultation, and soon had some guesses about Shelgon's current situation.

"However, it shouldn't be harmful to it; the vigorous Dragon-type energy in the Mega Stone is continuously supplying energy to its body, and it might even be beneficial to evolution?"

"So, even if it temporarily loses its ability to eat, it shouldn't be a big problem for it."

While Mewtwo was talking, he looked at Shelgon again.

Things like absorbing props into the body during evolution don't have much data available on the internet; only some Pokémon that need special props to assist evolution will have such behavior.

But for Shelgon, this unconscious behavior is very likely to create a "non-standard" individual.

"Due to the subtle influence of the Mega Stone, its cells seem to be gradually adapting to the energy changes in the body and relying on the Mega Stone to accumulate the energy required for evolution."

"Perhaps your guess is correct; the Salamence that evolves from it does have the possibility of mastering the power of autonomous Mega Evolution."

How to let Pokémon autonomously realize Mega Evolution is also the main research direction of Mewtwo recently.

He didn't expect that there would be such a living example around him when he was still at a loss.

So, Mewtwo's expectation when looking at Shelgon was also a bit high.

If it can do it, shouldn't I also be able to realize this by analyzing its energy changes?

"I understand."

Qingyu nodded, his gaze complexly looking at Shelgon.

As expected of the Bagon designated by that black Rayquaza, it started to be "illegal" before it even evolved into Salamence.

When Rayquaza appeared at the closing ceremony of the Dragon-type Masters Tournament and gave himself the Salamence Mega Stone, did it guess that such a day would come?

A Salamence that can Mega Evolve by itself, what is the difference between that and a Super Rayquaza!

While Qingyu was thinking, Shelgon had gradually lost patience, rolled its eyes, and lay down on the ground to sleep soundly.

For it, this trip today indeed spent a lot of energy, and now it is normal to be tired and fall asleep.

Qingyu smiled helplessly, preparing to pick up Shelgon like before and take it back to its nest to sleep well, but after reaching out, he found—

Shelgon is too heavy!

Only then did he suddenly react.

During the Bagon period, it weighed at most 40 kilograms; although it was indeed a bit difficult, he could still hold it.

And the average weight of Shelgon in the Pokedex is 110 kilograms…

Even if it just evolved into Shelgon, its weight instantly doubled, and it is almost impossible for normal humans to bear its weight.

Fortunately, it was Lucario, an expert, who caught it at Casseroya Falls; if it were changed to himself, he might have been pressed into a meat pie by now.

It seems that he can no longer use "lift high" on it, and it can no longer act like a spoiled child to him at will.

Little guys like Bagon and Sylveon are already the limit of what he can bear; if it were changed to a Shelgon weighing more than 200 pounds…

Just thinking about it feels terrifying!

Qingyu shook his head.

For Pokémon, growth is of course a good thing, especially for Bagon, who longs for the sky.

However…, evolving from a cute Bagon to a fierce-looking Salamence, gradually shedding its childishness and becoming reliable, and even not being able to eat, perhaps this can be considered the price of growth!

Qingyu was thinking this, and just as he was about to return to the bedroom to lie down for a while, a few small characters suddenly appeared in front of him again:

【Main quest "Legendary Path" has been updated.】

【Current quest: Collect Herba Mystica, awaken Miraidon's peak state. (Current progress 5/5)】

【Reward: Random Gold Prop *1, currently being issued…】

【Reward: "Special Z-Crystal Raw Stone" *1】

While receiving the message, a certain rock touch suddenly came from Qingyu's hand.

Subconsciously spreading his palm, a completely transparent diamond-shaped gemstone suddenly appeared in his hand.

After staying for a few seconds, information about it also soon appeared in front of him.

【Special Z-Crystal Raw Stone (Gold): A rare material originally used by the Alola Island Guardians to make Z-Crystals. Since this Z-Crystal does not contain any energy, it can be used to fuse and create an exclusive Z-Crystal.】

【Usage: Fuse with another Z-Crystal and inject enough intensity of Ultra Aura.】

"……"

Qingyu was stunned.

No, even this kind of Z-Crystal can be obtained?

The essence of a Z-Crystal is a very special energy crystal related to Ultra Aura.

After absorbing energy of different attributes, it will form a corresponding Z-Crystal, which can make the Pokémon's corresponding attribute moves get a powerful boost after carrying it.

Although the stored energy is only enough to be used once in a battle, the role it can play in battle is self-evident.

Before, he had also obtained and used the Z-Power Ring that matches the Z-Crystal from the system.

And besides the eighteen attribute Zs, there are more special exclusive Zs, and only designated Pokémon moves can trigger the powerful power contained in the exclusive Z.

For example, the Eevium Z held by Qingyu has a very powerful effect, and can even directly let Eevee borrow the power of Eevees from all over the world across thousands of miles, temporarily obtaining a huge improvement in all abilities.

However, as Eevee completed evolution, Eevium Z had no effect on it.

As for the origin of exclusive Zs, the game didn't explicitly mention it.

But in the animation, Ash's illegal 【Pikashunium Z】 has a clear record.

Created by one of the Alola Island Guardians, Tapu Koko, it is an exclusive Z obtained after strengthening the ordinary 【Electrium Z】, and only Ash's Pikachu can use it.

The evolved Z-move also changed from "Catastropika" of 【Pikachu Z】 to the unique "10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt."

The Island Guardians themselves can control Ultra Aura and use the energy in it to manufacture Z-Crystals, which corresponds to the system's description.

If his reasoning is correct, maybe this Z-Crystal can also be like 【Pikashunium Z】, creating other illegal exclusive Zs?

It's just…

Even if the Z-Crystal is given to me, it seems I can't use it now.

Ultra Aura is only available in the Alola region, and currently, it seems that only the Alola Island Guardians can use it at will.

And the whereabouts of the Island Guardians are unpredictable, and even the Island Kings cannot maintain a stable connection with them.

Even if I go to Alola now, the probability of returning empty-handed is also very high.

However, with this special Z-Crystal, at least Qingyu has a bit of an idea in his heart.

Obviously, this is prepared for Sylveon.

As Lucario finished practicing and Bagon started its own opening path, Sylveon, who showed the "root of sketching" earliest, had a significantly slower progress speed.

Moreover, whether it is Lucario or Salamence, they have corresponding Mega Evolutions, and their strength can go further.

And if he can turn Eevium Z into Sylveon Z, it can be considered a path for Sylveon to continue to develop.

The number of illegal Pokémon in his team has increased again!

This matter cannot be rushed, so Qingyu chose to put this Z-Crystal into the system first and silently remember this matter.

As Qingyu confirmed the reward, the subtitles in front of him began to scroll again.

【In the process of traveling and improving yourself in Paldea, you gradually discovered that the rumors of "Titans" do not seem to appear out of thin air.】

【After months of hard work, you finally defeated five powerful Titans and discovered a special plant in their caves; they are called "Herba Mystica" by Arven.】

【After collecting five Herba Mystica, the body of Miraidon, which was accidentally saved, finally returned to its peak state.】

【And in the process of exploration, you gradually gained its approval.】

【Now, all mysteries point again to the place where the initial incident occurred—】

【Area Zero void.】

【Perhaps, only by going deep into it can you get the answer.】

【Quest: Collect Herba Mystica, awaken Miraidon's peak state. (Completed)】

【Reward: "Poke-Cafeteria Cooking Secret · Simple Cooking Guide That You Can Learn With Hands!"】

【Main quest "Legendary Path" has been updated.】

【Current quest: Lift the League's blockade on Area Zero, enter Area Zero void.】

"Hiss—"

Qingyu gasped.

Unexpectedly, this "Legendary Path" really has a follow-up.

However, even if he can get Geeta's high approval now, it is impossible to enter Area Zero now.

The act of blocking Area Zero is not to prevent others from going down to explore, but to prevent the dangerous Paradox Pokémon inside from running out and causing harm to Paldea.

Therefore, without a detailed plan and a sufficiently powerful team, it is impossible for Geeta to lift the blockade and let him go down alone.

The Zero Lab hollow has been breeding Paradox Pokémon and other Pokémon for who knows how long, and every single one of them is incredibly ferocious; this behavior itself is no different from courting death.

So I still have to wait.

Wait until Nemona clears the Champion Road and a new champion is born, Geeta's exploration plan for Area Zero will restart, and I will just follow in then.

Qingyu soon made a decision, and subconsciously spoke, muttering to himself:

"Speaking of which, it seems I haven't seen Nemona since the Champion Road opened."

Although she only served as an apprentice at the Sunshine Gym for a month, this experience also made Nemona's growth speed far exceed expectations.

Currently, the one most likely to become the new champion is still Nemona.
