Chapter 620

March 1st, Sunday.

Entering March, the temperature in Paldea, which has a Mediterranean climate, warmed up rapidly.

As the saying goes, "Spring sleep is not aware of dawn," and Xiang Qingyu also slept in for a long time.

After Indeedee sister, the new employee of the gym, came to the bedroom and pushed his shoulder with its fluffy little hands, he woke up leisurely.

Looking at the time after getting up, good guy...

It's almost time for lunch.

"Umm~"

Seeing Xiang Qingyu wake up, Indeedee smiled sweetly, and then walked to the kitchen on its own, preparing to start today's work.

Although it can indeed eat a bit, this Indeedee sister's business ability is still very powerful, otherwise it would probably be very difficult for it to survive in human society with its appetite...

Xiang Qingyu, who was sitting on the bed, was still a bit confused, and only dragged his soul back to his body after settling for half a minute, shaking his head sharply.

Damn bed demon, as long as there is a moment of slack, it will be hard-controlled for several hours!

After simply washing up in the washroom, Xiang Qingyu finally fully recovered.

With the joining of Indeedee sister, the three meals a day in the gym no longer need him to do it himself.

Of course, even if he had a sudden impulse and wanted to do it himself, other Pokémon would simultaneously stop him from entering the kitchen...

After tasting Indeedee's craftsmanship, all the Pokémon in the gym were easily conquered by it, so they became unwilling to recall the sandwich life of every meal before.

Regarding this, Xiang Qingyu was also very helpless.

His cooking skills had clearly improved a lot, but he was instantly squeezed out of the position of head chef by the newly arrived Indeedee.

However, since the Pokémon like it, let them be.

Xiang Qingyu glanced at Indeedee, who was preparing hamburger steak and curry rice in the kitchen, and decisively gave up the idea of entering the kitchen to help.

Rarely idle, Xiang Qingyu soon walked out of the gym gate, felt the warm sunlight outside, and stretched comfortably under the gaze of Miraidon.

Ogerpon and Squirtle were watering in the field, Mewtwo, Lucario, and Sableye were sitting on the lawn not far away, seemingly discussing something.

"Lucario!"

Seeing Xiang Qingyu appear, Lucario immediately stood up and called out to him with momentum.

"What happened, Lucario?"

Xiang Qingyu walked over with a smile.

Under normal circumstances, Lucario should be exercising in the morning at this time, it's rare to see it resting today.

"I have some questions I want to ask them."

Mewtwo raised its head and looked at Xiang Qingyu with serious eyes.

"In the game, Lucario and Sableye both possess special mega evolution forms, but the ability improvement after their evolution can be said to be completely opposite."

"So... can mega evolution be understood as a kind of atavism, just showing their more primitive forms, but in reality, their evolution direction had already been determined before they were discovered?"

This question raised by Mewtwo has depth, so much so that even Xiang Qingyu was stunned.

This week, Mewtwo has already reached the Great Ball tier in "Pokémon Champion" through its own efforts, and as it gradually gets started, its understanding of Pokémon in the game has also gone to a higher level.

Among them, mega evolution, as a new mechanism, naturally became its main research direction.

It is also very interested in mega evolution itself, and is indeed seriously looking for a way to achieve autonomous mega for itself, so it is normal to have some confusion in the process.

And Mewtwo's question actually hit the nail on the head.

The essence of mega evolution is the awakening of one's own abilities, which in a sense can also be considered a kind of atavism.

Taking the Lucario and Sableye it mentioned as an example.

After mega evolution, the evolution energy stimulates the expansion of the aura power in Lucario's body, awakening the fighting instinct, becoming more aggressive, and the combat mode also becomes more cold and ruthless.

So the strength improvement of Lucario after evolution is almost entirely reflected in offensive ability and speed.

While Sableye is just the opposite; after mega evolution, most of the energy is stored in the red gem on the chest, allowing it to expand and become its strongest shield after detaching from the skin.

The expanded gem can block any attack, and even possesses the ability to reflect moves, but its weight also makes Sableye's actions extremely difficult.

Sableye's original average weight is only 11kg, but it will soar to 161kg after mega evolution, and its speed has also changed significantly.

Besides this, the most critical point is...

"It is indeed as you guessed, except for the very special Charizard which possesses two branch evolution methods, the mega evolution of other Pokémon indeed exists to a considerable degree of universality, and currently no individual differences have been found."

After thinking for a moment, Xiang Qingyu nodded.

Just as Mewtwo said, mega evolution is relatively fixed, and the route after evolution is almost set in stone.

However...

Everything has an exception.

"But I don't think you should compare yourself with other Pokémon, Mewtwo."

While Mewtwo was thinking with its head down, Xiang Qingyu suddenly smiled and spoke again.

"Every Pokémon has its special features, and as a unique individual in this world, what kind of Pokémon you want to become, the final decision power only depends on yourself."

"So, why not ask your own thoughts?"

"If you can also master the mega evolution phenomenon that breaks through the limit and goes further, what will you want to become by then?"

He is not talking nonsense.

Even counting Legendary Pokémon, there are only two Pokémon that possess two different mega evolution forms.

Besides Charizard, there is this slightly confused Mewtwo kid in front of him.
