Chapter 242: Mega! Super Genggai!
Chapter 242: Mega! Super Genggai!
"Genga!" Gramps roared.
A sudden burst of blinding white light erupted from the Keystone in Jinghe's hand.
Simultaneously, the Ultra Evolution Stone on Gramps' tongue also unleashed a dazzling display of colorful radiance, enveloping and covering it like a surging tide.
The entire battlefield, including the battle room, seemed to tremble slightly, filled with shimmering rainbow light.
Amidst the glow, Gramps began to transform.
Its legs slowly sank into the ground, its ears and the spikes on its back grew longer and sharper, and its hands rested on the ground.
In the center of its forehead, a golden-yellow object resembling an eye or a coin slowly opened and emerged.
A dark red, unknown energy rose from below, tinting half of its body with an eerie red hue.
The next moment—
The frenzied Super Evolution energy condensed a colorful Mega Evolution symbol in front of it before dissipating.
Super Genggai!
"Genga!"
A terrifying aura surged and rippled outward."
Bladano, who had witnessed the entire process, turned slightly pale, his eyes flashing with a hint of astonishment.
He wasn't unfamiliar with Mega Evolution, and Coco Boolean, whom he called a "Mega Evolution expert," had also demonstrated Lucario's Mega Evolution process before him.
But...
Lucario's Mega Evolution wasn't like this!
Or rather, the commotion wasn't nearly as loud.
That overwhelming ghostly aura that hit them head-on, that unconcealed "malice"...
And more importantly, the commotion during Mega Evolution was just too much!
For a moment, Bladano couldn't tell if it was Jinghe and Gramps' Super Evolution that was too loud or Coco Boolean and Lucario's that was too quiet.
Alane and Sophie, standing nearby, were equally dumbfounded.
However, the most astonished of all was undoubtedly Coco Boolean.
He was the only trainer present, aside from Jinghe, who had experienced Super Evolution.
Even he had to admit that compared to Jinghe and Gramps' Super Evolution, his own seemed a bit...
'Should I mentor him?' Coco Boolean wondered to himself.
He secretly felt relieved that he had just arrived and hadn't had a chance to exchange more than a few words with Jinghe; otherwise, it would have been quite embarrassing.
However, the literature on Super Evolution passed down in his family also vaguely mentioned something similar.
The deeper the bond between a trainer and their Pokemon, the greater the changes and commotion brought about by Super Evolution would undoubtedly be.
And Gramps' Mega Evolution proved just that.
"Such a profound bond," Coco Boolean muttered, "Given time, it might even be possible without an Ultra Evolution Stone..."
"To—battle! Begin!"
Alane finally snapped out of his daze, his mouth dry as he remembered this was a battle.
He looked at Jinghe and Super Genggai, his eyes filled with intense fervor.
Is this... Mega Evolution? When will I have my own Super Evolution and become the strongest Super Evolution Messenger?
Bladano also regained his composure, realizing this was an invaluable opportunity to collect data.
"Sharpedo!" Bladano shouted.
Sharpedo: Σ()
Everyone else was shocked, amazed, and stunned by the Super Evolution spectacle.
But it was the Pokemon that had directly experienced the impact.
Was I supposed to fight it?
"Dragon Dive!" Bladano waved his hand.
"Roar, roar—"
Meanwhile, Jinghe and Super Genggai felt as if they were in a special state.
Even without using Wave Guidance, Jinghe and Gramps were in perfect sync.
This power seemed to originate from an unknown, mystical realm, yet it felt so real.
What Jinghe and Gramps didn't know was that in this state, something within Gramps was being "digested" at an astonishing speed.
"Genga!" Gramps cackled loudly.
It sensed the endless surge of immense power, its intensity thrilling it beyond measure.
"Gramps, Shadow Ball," Jinghe said softly.
Although Super Genggai was incredibly excited, it obeyed Jinghe's command without hesitation.
With a sinister laugh, it raised its palm slightly, and an enormous black sphere instantly took shape.
It appeared to be an ordinary Shadow Ball, but the Ghost-type energy it contained was even more exaggerated than when Gramps had used the Super-Size Shadow Ball earlier.
Whoosh—
The Shadow Ball flew out.
Boom!!
The entire battlefield trembled slightly, and the surrounding glass shattered simultaneously.
The ground cracked into a spiderweb pattern, and the spreading shockwaves nearly knocked Alane and the others off their feet.
In an instant, the battle room was in disarray.
Coco Boolean opened his mouth, and his voice sounded slightly hoarse as he said,
"This is the power of bonds!"
The stronger the bond, the greater the enhancement brought about by Super Evolution.
This unique evolutionary method undoubtedly empowers trainers with strong bonds with their Pokemon.
But this...
"It's a bit too exaggerated!"
As the dust settled, Bladano's Sharpedo stood stiffly on the ground.
Cold sweat trickled down its temple.
The Shadow Ball hadn't hit it; it had flown past.
But it felt like it couldn't withstand a second hit.
"Gramps, that's enough."
Jinghe let out a long breath, and the Mega Genggai's body instantly released a series of colorful beams of light.
It returned to its original form.
"Huanga~~"
Gramps leaned on his knees, standing on the ground, panting heavily.
He gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This Mega Evolution was powerful, but it also consumed a lot of energy.
Gramps quickly reached into his stomach and pulled out an Energy Root, along with a handful of Poison Mushrooms, and shoved them all into his mouth to chew.
It wasn't just Gramps who felt tired; Jinghe felt it too.
Despite his recent fitness regimen and martial arts training, and the steady improvement in his Wave Guidance, the Mega Evolution still took a toll on him.
Speaking of which, his physical condition wasn't weak by any means.
But it was still exhausting.
It was hard to imagine how others managed to endure it.
"That's not right," Jinghe thought to himself. "It's probably because this is our first attempt, and we haven't mastered the technique yet."
Or perhaps the Mega Evolution was simply too loud this time.
"But with this level of exhaustion, I'd probably wilt after commanding a single battle," he mused.
Indeed.
Mega Evolution was best used as a trump card; in regular battles, the rewards might not outweigh the costs.
Jinghe glanced around.
He shouldn't have tried it here.
But Dr. Bradano didn't seem to mind the damage at the moment.
He was more concerned with whether he had successfully recorded the Mega Evolution process.
"Huanga~~"
Gramps, having caught his breath, walked up to Jinghe, took out his Safety Goggles from his stomach, put them on, and raised an eyebrow at him.
How was it? Am I not brave?
Jinghe chuckled softly, "How was it? Tiring?"
"Huanga~"
Gramps waved his hand proudly.
He strongly indicated that he wasn't tired at all!
Yes, not tired, just a bit pale.
Meanwhile, as Gramps Mega Evolved, Gigaton Smith, Hachubo, and Bear Apprentice had all come out of their Poke Balls on their own.
Witnessing the entire process, they had all seen the powerful display of Mega Genggai.
This not only made them happy for Gramps but also instilled a sense of urgency in them.
Even Ice Sixtail felt the same.
Jinghe noticed this encouragement and was pleased, but he also realized that his expenses were about to increase.
Gigaton Smith and Bear Apprentice immediately started working out.
But that wasn't all.
Six-Tailed Pokemon and Hachubo also joined in the training.
How could his expenses not increase?
Gramps proudly stuck out his tongue at Jinghe.
See? I've brought a hardworking atmosphere!
Jinghe rolled his eyes at Gramps.
However, he was also considering something else.
As everyone knew, Ultra Evolution Stones needed to be worn by Pokemon, and Gramps could simply store it in his dimensional space, taking it out when needed.
But as a Trainer, Jinghe also needed to carry the Keystone on his person.
Just like Da Wu's brooch, Serena's lipstick, Karune's pendant, Fladry's ring, or Serena's bracelet.
Among these, the bracelet was the most common method of carrying.
This method of carrying required some prior consideration.
After all, if he were to count, there would be the Z Ring, Gigantamax Wristband, and even the Primal Orb in the future.
He couldn't just wear them all on his wrist like Satoshi, could he?
"Monoglasses might be a good choice," Jinghe muttered.
Of course, not embedded in the glasses, but hung on a safety chain to prevent them from falling off.
This way, he could normally keep the chain inside his clothes, hiding the Keystone from others, and only take it out when needed.
But there was no need to rush.
He could ask the Pokemon for their opinions on how to carry it.
Seeing that Dr. Bradano and the others were completely immersed in analyzing the Mega Evolution data, Jinghe took the Pokemon for a walk around the institute.
He admired the slowly blooming flowers with Leafy Pokemon, dug with Diglett, sunbathed with Parasect, and played hide-and-seek with Seedot.
It was only after a long while that Dr. Bradano approached Jinghe again, tired and full of apologies.
"Jinghe, I'm so sorry for leaving you alone," he said.
Jinghe smiled and waved his hand, "It's fine. Besides, playing with these Pokemon here is quite enjoyable."
At this moment, Dr. Bradano noticed the Pokemon surrounding Jinghe.
Even he hadn't completely bonded with these Pokemon yet.
He silently admired Jinghe's affinity with Pokemon and acknowledged him as a Pokemon psychologist.
Of course, this was also thanks to Wave Guidance.
"By the way, I've asked Sophie to help with the coffee shop staff," Dr. Bradano said.
Jinghe's eyes lit up.
"Pokemon?"
"Yes, but it might take some time."
