Chapter 314: Dominating the Battle Frontier!
Chapter 314: Dominating the Battle Frontier!
"Incredible... So powerful," Du Juan murmured.
That Shadow Ball felt like it could take out her Pokemon ten times over.
Registeel, unable to battle!
"Did Teacher win?" Yasha whispered.
It felt surreal. Godai's Registeel was far more formidable than Dala's Frost Bird from yesterday; its strength was undeniable.
However, what truly shocked her was not just Jinghe's victory, but more importantly, the final Mega Evolution of Gramps and the terrifying Shadow Ball it unleashed.
Mega Evolution!
Could it be that this wasn't a unique ability of Gramps?
Not just him.
Everyone present, Da Wu, Du Juan, Li La, and even Godai, were astonished by Gramps' final Mega Evolution.
In contrast, they couldn't comprehend whether the Shadow Ball was a result of Gramps' Mega Evolution or its inherent ability.
"So powerful," even Li La couldn't help but exclaim.
She instantly felt that Jinghe must have held back during their Battle Tower match.
Otherwise, with the state and strength of Super Gramps just now, even her Groudon wouldn't have been able to withstand it.
"So, in Teacher Jinghe's eyes, I'm just a baby too?"
Well.
There's a new judgment now.
As long as Jinghe didn't use Mega Evolution against an opponent, they were all considered babies.
"You won."
After settling the unconscious Registeel, Godai approached Jinghe.
"Although I'm not sure what this Mega Evolution is all about, I can sense that it's a manifestation of the deep bond between you two."
"And you, relying on your own strength, broke through our final barrier."
As he spoke, he took out the last golden badge.
"This 'Symbol of Courage' is yours."
"Hngga!"
Gramps, chewing on a piece of Energy Ball, happily accepted the symbol.
Although these symbols of the Battle Frontier didn't seem very valuable, they were hard-earned by Jinghe and himself, even using the final Mega Evolution. This symbol was well-deserved.
Jinghe smiled and shook his head, not stopping him.
Mega Evolution still couldn't be used as a regular tactic.
Even with his current robust physique, he felt a strain after using it.
"Gramps, give me a piece."
"Hngga?"
Gramps scratched his head.
He reached out and took out a fragment of the Energy Ball.
Jinghe took it and popped it into his mouth.
"Mmm."
It tasted surprisingly good, with a hint of sweetness.
No wonder Gramps preferred Energy Balls over Vitality Root Tea.
"Teacher!"
"Teacher Jinghe!"
[Jinghe! So amazing, so amazing!]
Da Wu's group, Li La, and Kira Kyi surrounded them.
Bang! Kira Kyi even jumped into Jinghe's arms.
[So amazing!]
Jinghe smiled and pinched his little cheek, soft like cotton candy.
[Mmm!]
Kira Kyi pouted.
Speaking of which.
Jinghe had originally planned to let Kira Kyi face the Three Giants if Godai sent them out.
But then he thought.
The little one sleeps for a millennium and wakes for seven days; perhaps it has never battled in its life. Unless it asks for it, it's best not to open that box.
Perhaps sensing Jinghe's thoughts, Kira Kyi, despite having his face pinched, hugged Jinghe and rubbed against him affectionately.
Jinghe rubbed the little one's head.
Obtaining the seventh symbol, the 'Symbol of Courage,' he said, "We've finally conquered the Battle Frontier!"
On the way back on the plane.
"Teacher, what exactly is Mega Evolution?" Yasha asked, voicing everyone's curiosity.
"Mmm," Jinghe, holding Kira Kyi, stroked his chin and said, "This matter might require consulting Professor Burnet. It's his research, and if I had to guess, it's probably a similar concept to Dynamax in the Galar region."
Jinghe didn't hide the details about Mega Evolution.
Anyway, Professor Burnet would likely publish his paper soon, and a 'Mega Evolution Era' might be upon them.
After all, whether it's Z-Moves, Dynamax, or Mega Evolution, they're powerful, but for sheer style, Mega Evolution takes the cake.
And Mega Evolution has no regional restrictions.
"So, to Mega Evolve, you need not only specific Pokemon but also specific Mega Stones and Keystones?" Da Wu summarized after Jinghe's explanation.
"And most importantly, the bond between the Trainer and Pokemon must be deep enough."
Forcing it could lead to failure or significant strain on both the Trainer and Pokemon.
In the anime, Satoshi and Greninja's Bond Phenomenon was similar to Mega Evolution in essence.
And when not fully mastered, each accidental use took a toll on Satoshi and Greninja.
"For the specifics of how to use it smoothly, let's wait for Professor Burnet's paper. The research he asked us to help with is related to this." Jinghe explained.
In fact, some people already knew how to use it.
But.
Not many people are paying attention yet.
Or they're paying attention, but can't explain it.
"Then, Teacher, which Pokemon can Mega Evolve?" Du Juan asked.
Jinghe paused for a moment.
"I can't provide a detailed explanation yet, as the research is still ongoing and hasn't concluded. But Groudon should be capable of Mega Evolution."
At this, Da Wu's eyes lit up.
"Damn, Da Wu is already so strong, and if Groudon can Mega Evolve again, it's like cheating!" Yasha exclaimed.
Jinghe smiled.
Indeed, it was a significant advantage.
After Mega Evolution became widespread, the ability of a trainer's main Pokemon to Mega Evolve had a substantial impact on their standing among trainers.
For instance, Da Wu's Groudon and Shirona's Houndoom, both capable of Mega Evolution, gave them a notable edge over other champions.
Adou, on the other hand, was at a disadvantage.
"Aside from Groudon, there's Houndoom, Politoed, and Kyurem..."
Jinghe then briefly mentioned a few more Pokemon.
There was no need to hide this information.
They all knew about the existence of Key Stones and Mega Stones, and with Da Wu's connections and wealth, he would likely acquire a substantial collection soon.
"Huh? It's over?!"
Aishida, busy with his work, was a bit disappointed to learn that Jinghe had already finished his battle with Godai.
It was a shame the last battle wasn't recorded, but it wasn't a significant loss.
However, as the owner of the livestream channel, he needed to provide some closure for his viewers.
So, in the evening, Aishida finally found the time to take a group of reporters on a plane to the small island where Godai was located.
He organized a press conference for Godai and another for Jinghe, officially concluding the channel [Jinghe Teaches You to Speedrun the Battle Frontier].
"This... this..."
Upon arriving at the nameless island, Aishida stood with his mouth agape, finding it hard to believe the sight before him.
Godai's Battle Pyramid was in ruins, almost destroyed.
Did Godai's initial declaration have such dire consequences?
Although Godai was investigating the ruins, Aishida, as the owner of the Battle Frontier, had to temporarily put his research aside and cooperate with the interview.
The primary concern, however, was the repair of the Battle Pyramid, which required Aishida's assistance.
"So, in the end, Jinghe won?"
Aishida asked, a bit uncertain.
"Yes," Godai nodded, unperturbed.
There was no point in denying the loss.
"Did you not use the Three Giants?" Aishida asked, feigning realization.
Godai glanced at him, his expression turning serious. "I did."
"You... you did?!"
Godai then briefly recounted the battle, especially the moment when Grimer Mega Evolved into Mega Grimer, which left a profound impression.
"Mr. Jinghe is truly a trainer worthy of respect," Godai sighed.
"You... fought evenly?"
Godai shook his head.
"No, I was completely outmatched."
"Completely outmatched?!"
Aishida stared in disbelief.
Did he just interview a fake Godai? These words didn't sound like something Godai would say.
"The final result was..."
"3-0."
In their battle, all three of Godai's Pokemon were knocked out, while Jinghe's Pokemon still had the strength to continue. In terms of tactics and Pokemon arrangement, Godai was no match for Jinghe.
Moreover, Mega Grimer nearly defeated Registeel.
Despite the fact that after a single move, Grimer and Jinghe were exhausted.
Despite only summoning one of the Three Giants, which did not represent his full strength.
But Godai, being the honest person he was, did not explain.
In his view.
Battles were battles, and it wasn't just about winning or losing, so he was at ease.
However, this livestreamed interview left a different impression on others.
"Damn! Jinghe secretly crushed Mr. Godai without even livestreaming it! Was he afraid of hurting us, his loyal fans?"
"3-0! Wow, even Mr. Godai got beaten 3-0?"
"Whoa—Jinghe defeated the Three Giants?"
"The Legendary Giant wasn't a match, and this guy treated the Quartz Conference like a Baby Cup?!"
"It's not just the Quartz Conference; the Battle Frontier was also treated like a Baby Frontier!"
"Four days! No, theoretically, three and a half days to speedrun the Battle Frontier!"
"I didn't believe Master Marsden would lose before, but now it seems like Master Marsden's back must've been broken!"
"Waaah, I wish I could've seen that battle."
Aishida, on the other hand, expressed that even if he could have livestreamed it, the damaged state of the Battle Pyramid would have likely caused the livestream equipment to explode.
This explanation surprisingly gained the understanding of the majority of the viewers.
The reason was simple.
Jinghe's battles were known to be destructive to both the battlefield and equipment, and his loyal fans were well aware of this.
However, regardless.
This interview quickly became a trending topic, reaching the top of the League's official website.
Godai was a long-standing leader of the Battle Frontier, and his defeat was seen by some as the beginning of a new generation challenging the old! Jinghe unknowingly became the leader of this "challenge."
The impact of this event was significant.
For instance, in the Unova Region, Guderian, who was about to travel to a new region to collect badges, was surrounded by reporters as soon as he stepped out of his house.
In response to the reporters' questions, Guderian, with a stern face, said, "I'm a fan of Mr. Jinghe."
