Chapter 79: You're Not Cynthia!
Chapter 79: You’re Not Cynthia!
Under the bright sunlight, Uglyfish’s rough, scaly skin gradually faded into a dazzling white coat. Its body slowly elongated, forming beautiful curves.
Originally a lumpy, earthy yellow form, it gradually became smooth and shiny. The red eyes that gradually revealed were filled with vitality and liveliness.
The light blue scales on its tail, resembling fans, gently slapped the water surface, splashing droplets that refracted light, creating a colorful mist.
Snap—
Cynthia used her phone to capture this moment.
Beautiful! A pure Water-type, Uglyfish’s evolution!
Revered as the most beautiful bocoman, it’s also the protagonist of a real-life "ugly duck" story.
“Grrr—”
Beautifully, the sound of Meganium echoed like a long flute, its transformation leaving the surrounding bocoman in awe.
Even Cynthia was a bit dazed after a moment.
Uglyfish evolved into Meganium?
It’s no secret that uglyfish can evolve into Meganium.
However, the currently known method for uglyfish to evolve into Meganium involves using “beautiful scales” and “evolutionary signals.”
Wild Meganium and some fearful trainers aside, most Meganium are a result of this evolution.
While some trainers claim it’s due to excellent training, others say it’s because of deep bonds and emotions, and some even claim no specific reason.
Even Cynthia, who closely monitored uglyfish’s state daily, couldn’t quite figure out why it evolved.
Is it confidence?
Even Meganium seemed surprised by its own evolution but not too shocked.
It just felt like those beautiful dreams finally came true.
“Grrrrr—”
It nuzzled up to Cynthia, gently rubbing its cheek against her.
The bocoman, including Sharpedo, Lucario, IB, and Rotom, all gathered around, amazed by the beautiful Meganium.
Even the usually sulent Ferbab, who was sulking, was dazed by the evolved Meganium.
After the joy of evolution, Meganium dived into the water, swimming lively with several water-type bocoman.
“Really good.”
Cynthia’s eyes lit up like a crescent moon, her finger touching her lips, murmuring:
“Should we eat an ice cream to celebrate?”
“Strawberry chocolate ice cream or mint chocolate chip ice cream?”
“Grrr—”
Seeing Cynthia stuck in the “ice cream dilemma,” Sharpedo waved its claws at the bocoman.
They dispersed, they dispersed.
Before the day ended, it seemed no one could make a decision.
“Rrrr~~”
“Grrr~~”
Ghisteeth and Ice sixtail looked at Jing He’s phone, where Cynthia had snapped a photo of Meganium, and they were dazed.
“Don’t envy it.”
Jing He rubbed Ice Sixtail’s head.
“Wait until you evolve, you won’t be worse.”
“Grrr?”
Really?
Little Sixtail’s eyes sparkled with little stars.
It suddenly became a bit eager to evolve.
“Rrrr rrrr?”
What about me?
Ghisteeth watched Jing He, its claws gripping itself, its face flushed.
Jing He stared at it for a while.
“Ah, today’s weather is really nice.”
Turning to the balcony.
Ghisteeth clung to the table.
“Rrrr!! (╯°д°)╯︵┻━┻”
Listening to Ghisteeth’s “chest tightness” behind her, Jing He couldn’t help but to show her fangs.
Do you know what you’ll evolve into?
Do you really want to evolve into pokesix?
He used his phone to take a photo of Meganium’s evolution process, and uploaded it happily to the internet.

People and Pokemon always have a beautiful side, don't they?
In the Sinno Region.
"Evolving?"
After finishing a research session, Dr. Kanz saw the evolved Mienas after listening to Cynthia's brief explanation, he was full of surprise.
Dr. Kanz, the authority of the Sinno Region, mainly studied the evolution of Pokemon.
He proposed the idea that "Evolution doesn't necessarily make a Pokemon more mature or more 'complete.'"
Recently, Dr. Kanz had been studying Pokemon with Dr. Oak in the Kanto region. He only returned to the Sinno region after discovering more secrets and more worthy of deep exploration.
However, he still kept in touch with Dr. oak.
As Cynthia's temporary assistant, she thus met Jing He online.
"Having a full meal, a good night's sleep, and a bedtime story?"
How did it sound, not like it met some evolution conditions?"
Dr. Kanz knew that Cynthia found a Pokemon psychologist online, trying to make the Drilfish more confident and more lively.
He and Cynthia indeed witnessed the Drilfish's changes.
So, is it confidence?
"First, give Mien a check?"
dr. Kanz put down the coat, took off the jacket, and said.
"Um."
" Cynthia nodded and assisted dr. Kanz in the check.
" All of Mien's stats are perfect."
holding the report, watching the Mien playing with other Pokemon in the pond, dr. Kanz sighed.
At this, Cynthia was very happy and relieved.
"Compared to the 'beautiful scales,' the naturally evolved Mien is more mature, or more 'complete.'"
"Um?"
" It's not that the 'beautiful scales' are bad; it's just that there is a difference, a cognitive difference."
dr. Kanz slowly explained:
"For example."
" The Drilfish, using the 'beautiful scales' to evolve, gradually realizes its beauty, realizing 'oh, I've become beautiful,' and unconsciously attributes part of its beauty to the 'beautiful scales' and 'evolution,' because these make it beautiful."
" While the autonomously evolved dril fish has already realized its beauty before evolving, it would feel naturally confident and beautiful after evolving."
hearing this, cynthia showed a thoughtful expression.
One is a passive gradual realization.
One is an active self-realization.
The final result might not be much different.
But using the 'beautiful scales' to evolve Mien, it needs this process, gradually turning from a passive realization to a self-realization.
While the autonomously evolved Mien has already established this realization.
so, dr. Kanz would say that the naturally evolved Mien is more mature and 'complete.'
aligning with his theory.
This difference is actually not so obvious in other autonomously evolved Mien.
but in cynthia's case, it is particularly prominent.
it is a confident realization from the heart.
this also makes it more mature and 'complete' than many autonomously evolved Mien.
"so, the evolution condition is confidence?" dr. kanz muttered.
but how to make the drilfish confident, this is probably a century-old problem.
" cynthia, could you give me the contact of 'jing he'?"
" um."
cynthia showed a bit of hesitation.
but finally, she nodded.
"hello, I'm dr. kanz."
receiving dr. kanz's call, jing he was somewhat surprised, after listening to the reason for dr. kanz's call, the first thought that came to mind was
not worrying about cynthia!
