Chapter 436: The Impact of Super Evolution
Chapter 436: The Impact of Super Evolution
Teacher Jinghe, Super Evolution, Mega Evolution.
These three terms became the hottest topics and trends across the entire League's online community, without a doubt.
Even in the real world, it was no different.
A Gramps that had already evolved to its third stage could still evolve once more! According to the paper "On the Authenticity and Feasibility of Super Evolution," this evolution is referred to as Super Evolution or Mega Evolution.
And according to Dr. Bratan's paper, in their joint research with Jinghe, they discovered that the number of Pokemon capable of Super Evolution was not limited to just Gramps.
The exact number of such Pokemon is still unknown.
However, some Pokemon have been confirmed to possess Super Evolution.
For instance: Gramps, Golbat, Hydreigon, Gyarados, and more.
The conditions for a Pokemon to successfully Super Evolve are quite stringent.
Not only is a rare Keystone required, but an even rarer Mega Stone corresponding to the specific Pokemon is also necessary! More importantly, a strong bond between the Trainer and their Pokemon is essential for Super Evolution.
However, there is no precise formula for this.
Even so, it has driven many Trainers to madness.
The search for Mega Stones will undoubtedly create a travel craze for some time.
Of course, all of this is a story for another day.
On this day, Jinghe single-handedly created an enormous wave of discussion.
It wasn't just about Super Evolution; there was more. Jinghe had defeated the Four Champions Xi Ba!
Although it was achieved through Mega Evolution, this was also a testament to Jinghe and Gramps' strength.
"Mega Evolution is so cool! Jinghe, you're invincible!"
"He actually beat Xi Ba!"
"Little Xi Ba, you're done for!"
"Pfft, it's just a showcase battle, nothing to be proud of. I'll never admit his strength unless he gives me a Mega Stone!"
"Your calculations are so loud, I can hear them all the way from the Carlos Region."
"..."
In any case, Jinghe had become famous again, and this time, he truly shook the entire Pokemon world.
The showcase battle concluded, and the audience's enthusiastic cheers swept through the entire venue.
Although it was a showcase battle, the confrontation and competition displayed by both sides during the battle, especially the appearance of Mega Evolution, and Xi Ba and Gyarados' final resistance, were enough to make everyone's blood boil.
This showcase battle was absolutely worth it! At the same time, it also allowed many people to witness Jinghe's "influence."
It's foreseeable that in the future, there will be more event organizers and conglomerates inviting him to participate in showcase battles, and his appearance fees will undoubtedly skyrocket.
It's as if Jinghe had inadvertently promoted himself, yes, leveraging the influence of Super Evolution.
Of course, there will also be more people seeking his advice.
Most likely, there will be numerous consultations related to Super Evolution.
Open the door, and welcome guests!
Amidst the wave of cheers, Jinghe and Xi Ba walked to the center of the now-ruined arena, shaking hands in a gesture of goodwill.
"As expected of you, Jinghe," Xi Ba said with a smile.
The previous fierce atmosphere had dissipated, replaced by a warm smile and a friendly attitude.
No matter how intense the battle had been, it was just a battle. After it ended, regardless of the outcome, it wouldn't affect their relationship.
Just like how Daye still called Sharon "Big Sis" even after getting beaten up by her a hundred times.
"Lucky," Jinghe also smiled.
If not for Gramps' Mega Evolution, the outcome could have been different.
But one thing was certain.
Gramps indeed had the strength to go toe-to-toe with the main Pokemon of the Four Champions, which made him quite pleased.
Xi Ba shook his head as Jinghe began to show humility.
"Regardless, I look forward to a real battle with you next time!" Xi Ba said earnestly.
This time, he truly regarded Jinghe as a formidable opponent who required him to be at his absolute best.
"Haha, Jinghe, you actually defeated Xi Ba!"
Daye almost pounced on Jinghe.
After witnessing such an exhilarating battle, his desire to battle was stirring within him.
Fortunately, today was the Baiyang Town Festival, and the streets were filled with fair-skinned Trainers waiting to challenge him.
"Luck, luck."
Jinghe sidestepped, avoiding Daye's flying tackle.
"Dr. Bratan has already published his paper," Sharon took out her phone and showed Jinghe Dr. Bratan's newly published paper.
"He's so quick!" Jinghe was surprised by Dr. Bratan's speed.
Sharon smiled, "I estimate that he was watching your battle."
This battle had attracted a lot of attention.
"Indeed," Jinghe nodded.
After all, he had previously told Dr. Bratan that he might showcase Super Evolution during this less competitive showcase battle, as a teaser for its introduction.
Taking Sharon's phone, he briefly skimmed through the paper.
He had already read the content of the paper.
From the comments and popularity of this paper, it was clear that the research findings were explosive.
Hmm?
Jinghe was taken aback when he saw his name in the author section, listed alongside Dr. Bratan.
It was a joint publication?
Was this taking advantage?
However, in Sharon's opinion, there wasn't any issue.
After all, Jinghe had provided significant assistance to Dr. Bratan during this research.
Not only did he demonstrate Gramps' Mega Evolution process and provide data, but he also offered research direction suggestions, paper validation, and even guessed which other Pokemon might be capable of Super Evolution.
"I imagine that you and Dr. Bratan will be the stars of the next Researcher Conference." Sharon teased.
Jinghe let out a helpless smile.
However, the publication of this paper and its impact might help him take a big step forward in his research career.
Back when he first arrived in the Pokemon world, his main goal was to become a Pokemon researcher.
With the League's benefits and salary, he wanted to be an ordinary corporate slave, raise a Pokemon or two that he got along well with, and live a stable life.
But later, due to the capture of Gramps and Ice Nine-Tailed, and the pressure of life (the two little ones' food expenses), he gradually deviated from his initial goal and became a Trainer.
And on this path, he seemed to be straying further and further away from his original plan.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Daye suddenly realized.
Looking at Jinghe and Sharon, he asked seriously, "So, you both know about Pokemon Super Evolution?"
Sharon and Jinghe looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.
Daye asked cautiously, "What about Wusong and Ayou..."
Jinghe patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you're not alone."
Daye breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"That's good, that's good."
It was a relief that he wasn't the only one who didn't know.
Wusong and Ayou also didn't know, and they instantly felt a sense of balance.
"By the way, Teacher Jinghe, can Infernape Super Evolve?" Daye asked again.
This question was crucial!
Jinghe's expression turned strange as he said, "Hydreigon can Super Evolve."
"No, I'm asking about Infernape."
"Oh, Houndoom can Super Evolve."
Wusong's main Pokemon included a Houndoom.
"I'm talking about Infernape."
"If nothing unexpected happens, Electivire should be able to as well."
Wusong also had an Electivire.
"Teacher Jinghe, your ears..."
Sharon couldn't help but chuckle beside them.
It was unclear when it started, but Jinghe seemed to enjoy teasing Daye, and she also found it fun to tease him from time to time.
Suddenly, she felt that Daye's persistent challenging attitude had improved a lot.
"Hmm, Heracross can too."
Ayou's main Pokemon included a powerful Heracross.
Daye: "..."
He pursed his lips, staring at Jinghe, wanting to see what he would say next.
"Oh, you mean Infernape, right?" Jinghe smiled, pretending to realize.
"Yes, yes!" Daye, who had just calmed down, became excited again.
Sharon: Chuckles.
In Daye's expectant gaze, Jinghe patted his shoulder again.
"Don't worry, I said you're not alone. A Du's situation is similar to yours."
Daye's expression froze.
"For now, I mean temporarily, Swift Dragon probably doesn't have the ability to Super Evolve."
Swift Dragon was one of A Du's trump cards, and it was a quasi-legendary card. Its inability to Super Evolve would definitely impact A Du's strength.
The same was true for Daye; his strongest Pokemon was Infernape, and if Infernape couldn't Super Evolve, it would affect him to some extent when others' trump card Pokemon could.
Of course, things like Z-Moves, Gigantamax, or Terastallization could make up for this shortcoming.
But in the end, whether it was Z-Moves, Gigantamax, or Terastallization, they were all one-sided changes.
Z-Moves enhanced move power, Gigantamax increased Pokemon's health and moves, and Terastallization changed Pokemon's attributes, but they weren't as comprehensive as Super Evolution, which altered Pokemon's overall "stats."
It couldn't be completely denied that these enhancements had their advantages and disadvantages.
However, when individual Pokemon encountered absolutely suitable abilities, the improvements they brought were also immense.
For example, Eevee's exclusive Z-Move;
Or, the signature Normal-type Swift Dragon of the "Normal-type King" and so on.
"So, Infernape... can't Super Evolve?" Daye, for once, seemed to understand the hidden meaning in Jinghe's words.
But Jinghe continued, "However, A Du has Charizard, and Charizard's 'advantage' can cover everything."
The title of Charizard as a "favorite son" wasn't for nothing.
"There's also Gyarados and Aerodactyl, which are also great."
Daye: "..."
He suddenly grabbed his head and turned to walk outside.
No more questions! Time to find someone for a battle!
Seeing his reaction, Jinghe couldn't help but laugh.
Sharon laughed, "Gramps is indeed very much like you."
No wonder they say that after spending time with a Trainer, Pokemon and Trainers become more and more alike. Gramps' playful "attribute" was definitely "inherited" from Jinghe.
Jinghe's expression turned serious.
Gramps also emerged from his shadow.
"Where is it similar?"
"Hng?" (Where is it similar?)
Sharon pursed her lips with a smile, her gaze sweeping over them, tilting her head, but she didn't speak.
But her expression seemed to ask:
You tell me, where is it not similar?
Jinghe: "..."
No, no, no, that was just a brief aftereffect of Mega Evolution's mutual understanding. Jinghe reassured himself.
Gramps thought the same.
"By the way, don't any of Daye's Pokemon Super Evolve?"
"Yes, Hariyama can." Jinghe replied casually.
"Then why don't you tell him?"
"I won't tell him!" Jinghe said with a hint of mockery as he put on his suit.
At worst, Daye would just cross out one of the records in his little notebook.
Jinghe, who always sought revenge, was a man, and men sometimes acted childishly. Their happiness was often this simple, plain, and unpretentious.
"Hng~ (o^^)" Gramps laughed heartily beside them.
"You're laughing too hard, Gramps."
But Gramps continued to laugh, clutching his stomach and floating up to the ceiling, rolling around in mid-air.
The commotion caused by Jinghe and Super Gramps was still ongoing.
After the showcase battle, numerous journalists wanted to interview Jinghe, but he declined all of them.
Firstly, there were too many reporters, and he found it a bit troublesome. Moreover, he could probably guess the questions they wanted to ask, as the answers were already in his thesis.
Secondly, both the Martial Bear Master and Gramps were injured, albeit lightly. Although they had received treatment, Jinghe wanted to take them to the Pokemon Center for a check-up as soon as possible to ensure there were no lingering issues.
It wasn't until the two little ones had been examined at the Pokemon Center and he had been assured by Nurse Joy that they were fine that Jinghe finally relaxed.
Then, it was time for the real celebration.
The little ones, who had been itching to go, immediately sprinted out.
The Baiyang Town celebration, with its street vendors everywhere, was a time for the little ones to enjoy themselves.
Fortunately, the appearance fee for the showcase battle was quite substantial, so Jinghe didn't stop them.
Instead, he joined in the festivities.
He helped Gramps choose festive clothing, ate cake and pastries with Ice Nine-Tailed and Sharon, played shooting games with Gigaforg, and accidentally punched a hole in the owner's balloon wall.
He surfed with Swift Dragon, only to fall into the water.
He played goldfish scooping with the Martial Bear Master, only to lose all his money.
He went with Charcoal Little Servant and Tyrogue to stop a "fight" between two people, only to find out they were a couple, and he almost got chased by the boyfriend with a knife because he almost hit the girlfriend.
Baiyang Town, Gaudi's Garden.
"Hmm?"
Darkrai, who had been resting under a tree, suddenly stood up, looked up at the Time-Space Tower above.
The clouds on its body shifted, and its expression turned solemn.
"Another... illusion?"
Once could be an illusion, but twice...
During Gramps' battle with Gyarados, Darkrai had sensed a strange aura from Gramps' body.
It was the aura of Reshiram.
Because it was fleeting, and Gramps' Shadow Ball had softened too much power, Darkrai had thought it was an illusion.
After all, Darkrai had already "seen" a hint of Reshiram's shadow on Gramps' body.
With its strength and ability, one illusion could be explained, but two was a bit hard to justify.
Darkrai's body quickly ascended into the sky, slowly reaching above the Time-Space Tower, overlooking all of Baiyang Town.
After a long time...
Buzz—
A subtle yet peculiar vibration caused Darkrai's body to tremble slightly.
It looked up at the sky again, its gaze piercing through the layers of obstruction, seeing what ordinary people couldn't.
"Oh no."
"I need to take this call."
Jinghe glanced at his phone, gave Sharon a slight signal, and walked into the nearby alley.
The call connected.
"Jinghe."
Hiroshi's voice came from the phone.
Knowing that Hiroshi would call and what he would ask, Jinghe replied directly, "Yes, Beedrill can Super Evolve."
Hiroshi: "..."
In the Rocket Team's base office, Hiroshi held his phone and paused in his stroking of Neko-dai.
This left Hiroshi unsure of how to respond.
After a long pause, he finally said, "Okay, I'll have Shin'u send you some money."
Jinghe smiled.
Whether to say it or not, he still preferred dealing with Hiroshi.
You see, how straightforward!
"By the way, Hiroshi, I have some leads on the person you asked me to find." Jinghe suddenly said.
During the Quartz Tournament, Jinghe had met Mikan and obtained her contact information.
At that time, he didn't dare ask too much, fearing that Mikan, who was always on guard, would run away if she felt something was off.
Later, in the tournament's latter stages, Mikan might have felt that there were fewer opportunities to make money, so she quietly left without a trace.
However, during that time, the two of them had maintained some contact.
Later, when Jinghe became an International Police officer, he used his authority and his connection with Mikan to learn about some matters.
At the same time, he also roughly learned about Shiro's activities.
"What?!"
Hiroshi stood up abruptly.
"Where are they?!"
"Don't get too excited. I'm not entirely clear on the specifics yet, just some leads. But I believe it won't be long now." Jinghe said.
After a pause, he immediately added, "However, before that, I think you should deal with your current situation first. After all, you're pretty busy, right?"
Hiroshi naturally understood the implication in Jinghe's words.
Rocket Team!
Perhaps, they would become the key obstacle to the father and son's reunion.
Of course, they could also be a help.
"I understand." Hiroshi sat back down.
"Hiroshi, I'll call you back later. I have something to attend to."
Jinghe hung up the phone and looked at Darkrai, who had suddenly appeared before him, feeling a vague sense of unease.
"I..." Darkrai began.
"Goodbye!"
Without hesitation, Jinghe turned and ran towards Sharon. In the face of her confused gaze, he said,
"Let's go!"
Darkrai: "..."
It blinked, watching Jinghe running out of Baiyang Town with Sharon, at a loss for words for a moment.
"Wh-what's wrong?"
Sharon's fair cheeks flushed slightly, her gaze falling on the hand Jinghe had unconsciously grabbed as they ran. She asked, following him.
Jinghe rubbed his forehead, "I knew it. I should have left right after the battle."
Darkrai had come to him again, with the same serious expression. Anyone could tell what it was going to say next.
"I really don't want to see those two guys."
