After returning home from school, having dinner, and feeding his Pokémon, Jiang Chen called Riolu over.
"Riolu, come and learn from me."
"Aura Sphere."
Jiang Chen shot an aura wave, hitting the target board not far away. The special target board was smashed to pieces. Riolu, standing beside Jiang Chen, tried to use Aura Sphere several times, but unfortunately, he failed every time.
"Don't rush. Watch me demonstrate it for you again."
Jiang Chen's Aura power had reached a formidable level. He could use Aura for defense and offense, and even release Aura Sphere. To be honest, relying on his Aura power and psychic abilities, Jiang Chen's combat power was stronger than most Elite-level Pokémon.
With Jiang Chen's continuous guidance, plus Riolu's diligence, he finally successfully mastered the move Aura Sphere. Only a very small number of Riolu can master Aura Sphere before evolving.
Although Aura Sphere isn't a particularly powerful move, it's a guaranteed hit in the games. In reality, Aura Sphere can lock on and track enemies. This move either has to be endured or blocked with other moves. It's truly not easy to learn this move while still a Riolu.
After guiding Riolu, Jiang Chen also began to guide other Pokémon.
"Young Master, your Nidorina has evolved."
Ning Ya called out to Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen, who was guiding Wartortle, recovered his wits and looked towards Nidorina's training area. Indeed, Nidorina had already evolved into Nidoqueen.
[Nidoqueen]
Gender: Female
Strength: Quasi-Elite Stage 1
Innate Potential: Elite
Type: Poison, Ground
Ability: Poison Point
Moves: Growl, Scratch, Poison Sting, Bite, Toxic, Dig, Sludge Wave...
Before evolving, she was already Elite Stage 8. After evolving, her strength directly increased to Quasi-Elite Stage 1.
Looking at the strong Nidoqueen, Jiang Chen walked over happily.
"Nidorina~!"
Nidoqueen also stepped towards Jiang Chen. Among Jiang Chen's Pokémon, if anyone was the most diligent, it definitely wasn't Riolu. Although Riolu was also very hardworking and diligent, Nidoqueen was even more diligent than Riolu.
"Nidoqueen, Nidoqueen~!"
"You want to battle? No problem."
Jiang Chen understood Nidoqueen's meaning. This Nidoqueen of his was quite fond of battling. Usually, Nidoking was more aggressive.
"I'll let you battle more in the future."
Jiang Chen whispered a few words into Nidoqueen's ear. Nidoqueen nodded, then walked towards where Garchomp was. After reaching there, Nidoqueen deliberately provoked him. Garchomp was very proud and couldn't stand provocation, so he immediately started fighting Nidoqueen.
The result was predictable. Before evolving, as Nidorina, she was certainly no match for Garchomp. Now that she had evolved into Nidoqueen, dealing with Garchomp was no problem at all.
"You deliberately had Nidoqueen deal with Garchomp, didn't you?" Ning Ya stood beside Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen nodded: "Garchomp's personality is too arrogant; he needs more tempering." In battle, Garchomp often looked down on his opponents, looking down on Pokémon weaker than him. This was not a good habit. Arrogance was fine, but if it reached the point of looking down on everyone, that was too much.
"Sister Ning Ya, please help me treat Garchomp."
After being violently beaten by Nidoqueen, Garchomp was injured. Fortunately, Nidoqueen held back, so Garchomp's injuries were not very serious.
"No problem." Ning Ya could heal these minor injuries.
"Gardevoir, let's try Mega Evolution."
Mega Evolution had two conditions: first, a Keystone and Gardevoirite, and second, a deep enough bond. Jiang Chen felt that both he and Gardevoir had met these conditions.
"Gardevoir~!"
In a flash of white light, Gardevoir evolved into Mega Gardevoir, also known as Super Gardevoir.
[Mega Gardevoir]
Gender: Female
Strength: Quasi-Champion Stage 9
Innate Potential: Champion
Type: Psychic, Fairy
Ability: Pixilate
Moves: Psychic, Disarming Voice, Double Team, Heal Pulse, Hypnosis, Calm Mind, Psyshock, Dazzling Gleam
"Hiss?!"
"I didn't expect such a massive increase in strength."
Besides the physical changes, her strength had increased too much, jumping from Quasi-Champion Stage 3 to Quasi-Champion Stage 9.
"Once strength reaches Champion level, Pokémon with Mega Evolution have a huge advantage."
Unfortunately, this state couldn't be maintained for too long. In less than ten minutes, Gardevoir reverted to her original form. After reverting, Gardevoir was a bit displeased. The feeling just now was too good. Especially the power just now, it was much stronger than now. After experiencing powerful strength, there was a sense of loss when that power disappeared.
"What was that just now?"
Ning Ya had also seen the scene.
"Mega Evolution. An evolution that requires a corresponding Mega Stone. But it can't last long, at most it can be maintained for one battle." There was nothing to hide. Jiang Chen explained to Ning Ya. He planned to have his mother look for Mega Stones. Although none had been discovered in this world yet, not discovered didn't mean they didn't exist. He would look for them. If he found them, great. If not, it didn't matter.
"About the Mega Evolution just now, Sister Ning Ya, you'd best not reveal it to anyone else." This matter didn't need to be revealed for now.
Ning Ya nodded: "Don't worry, Young Master, I won't tell anyone else."
Jiang Chen believed Ning Ya wouldn't tell anyone else. It was precisely because he trusted Ning Ya that he didn't hide from Ning Ya when performing Mega Evolution. It didn't matter if Ning Ya saw it, as long as no one else in the villa saw it.
After training his Pokémon for two hours, Jiang Chen told them to rest. Returning to his room, Jiang Chen glanced at the three Pokémon Eggs. They still hadn't hatched. However, according to Ning Ya's judgment, these three Pokémon Eggs wouldn't be too far from hatching. After observing the Pokémon Eggs, Jiang Chen went to sleep.
The next day, as it was just getting light outside, Jiang Chen opened his eyes and glanced at the Gardevoir lying on him.
"No wonder I felt something pressing me down. Why are you sleeping on me?"
Jiang Chen patted Gardevoir. Only then did Gardevoir reluctantly get up.
"System, sign in."
[Ding, successfully signed in. Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Caterpie Egg x1, Points +100!]
"If it was that Caterpie, it would be fine. What good is an ordinary Caterpie to me?" Jiang Chen put the Caterpie Egg aside. He used his Eye of Detection to scan it. It was an Elite potential Caterpie Egg.
"Forget it. I'll give this Pokémon Egg to Sister Ning Ya to deal with." This was the second Pokémon Egg Jiang Chen obtained through sign-in. The first one was the Shiny Gardevoir he had now. This one was too poor. There was no use for Jiang Chen to capture a Caterpie. He might as well let Ning Ya hatch it and then put it in the back mountain to increase the number of Pokémon in the back mountain.
He looked forward to tomorrow's sign-in. Tomorrow was the monthly sign-in, so there would be at least a monthly sign-in gift package.
After breakfast and arriving at school, Jiang Chen found the atmosphere in the school very solemn. Everyone had signed up for the New Trainer Tournament. Only the top thirty students in the school could enter the next round of eliminations. To enter the next round, one had to at least rank in the top thirty in the school. This ranking was based on the previous campus ranking competition. So Jiang Chen was first, and those ranked below could challenge those ranked above them. The top thirty strived not to be knocked down by those behind them, while those ranked behind strove to defeat those in the top thirty.
"Sigh, why is no one challenging me?"
Jiang Chen boredly trained his Pokémon. He wanted to battle but couldn't find anyone.
"Who would dare challenge you? They'd definitely lose, and then their Pokémon would get injured and waste time," Ling Wanqiu said. Like Jiang Chen, Ling Wanqiu also had no challenges.
"How about we have a battle?"
"Which Pokémon are you planning to use against me?"
Ling Wanqiu didn't immediately agree. If Jiang Chen used Gardevoir or Metagross, Ling Wanqiu wouldn't agree. Gardevoir had defeated her strongest Garchomp. She wasn't sure about Metagross's strength, but looking at his training, Ling Wanqiu guessed he was no weaker than her Garchomp.
"Riolu and Bulbasaur."
Jiang Chen didn't want to bully weak opponents; he wanted to train his Pokémon through battle.
"Then I'll use Dragonair and Treecko." Ling Wanqiu agreed. Battling Jiang Chen was also a form of improvement for her.
Arriving at the battle arena, Jiang Chen released Riolu. Seeing this, Ling Wanqiu released Dragonair.
"Dragonair, use Thunder Wave."
"Riolu, use Quick Attack to dodge."
Ling Wanqiu made the first move, but Riolu still narrowly dodged the Thunder Wave by using Quick Attack to speed up. Thunder Wave wasn't a damaging move, but it could paralyze you. Being paralyzed not only reduced your speed but sometimes also prevented you from moving.
After Riolu dodged the attack, he immediately pounced on Dragonair.
"Move like a rabbit, so fast. Dragonair, use Dragon Tail."
Riolu used Rock Smash and collided with Dragonair, and Riolu was eventually pushed back. Dragonair's body was also pushed back quite a bit. Don't let Riolu's small body fool you; his strength was immense.
"Seize the opportunity, continue attacking."
Ling Wanqiu shouted to Dragonair. She used Hurricane, blowing towards Riolu. Because of his previous recoil, Riolu couldn't dodge in time and was caught in the Hurricane. However, relying on his powerful strength, Riolu directly burst out of the Hurricane. After approaching Dragonair, he immediately used Metal Claw.
The speed of the side attack was too fast for Dragonair to react.
"Dragonair, use Aqua Tail."
"Jump up, dodge Dragonair's attack, then use Ice Punch."
Facing the overwhelming tail attack, Riolu obeyed Jiang Chen's command, leaped into the air, and perfectly dodged Aqua Tail.
"Jumped into the air, let's see how you dodge now." Seeing Riolu dodge Aqua Tail, Ling Wanqiu instead showed surprise. You jumped into the air, let's see how you dodge now. Your Riolu can't fly anyway.
There was no leverage in the air, making it almost impossible to dodge attacks.
"Dragonair, use Hyper Beam."
Ling Wanqiu was not polite at all, launching Hyper Beam, a powerful move, at Riolu in the air. It was indeed difficult to dodge in the air, but Riolu twisted his body in the air, forcefully changing his landing position. He happened to just graze the Hyper Beam used by Dragonair as he fell.
"Dragonair's moves are so fast. Fortunately, Riolu dodged that one." Jiang Chen himself didn't expect that Dragonair could immediately unleash Hyper Beam after using Aqua Tail. Fortunately, Riolu's movements were agile, otherwise, he would definitely have been hit by Hyper Beam.
Ice Punch landed on Dragonair. Ice-type perfectly countered Dragon-type, so Ice Punch dealt significant damage. Hyper Beam was very powerful, but it had a drawback: it caused a period of paralysis. Dragonair couldn't move after being hit.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Riolu immediately used Focus Punch, kicking Dragonair. At the same time, an Aura Sphere was thrown at Dragonair.
"Bang?!"
Dragonair lost its ability to battle.
Just a moment ago, she thought she had a chance to win, and then the next moment, she was knocked out. For Ling Wanqiu, it was a rollercoaster of emotions.
"It was too sudden. I wasn't even prepared."
Ling Wanqiu recalled Dragonair.
"If your Hyper Beam had hit, I might have lost." Jiang Chen also recalled Riolu. Continuing to use Riolu against Ling Wanqiu's Treecko would be a bit too much.
"Go, Bulbasaur."
Seeing Bulbasaur, Ling Wanqiu also sent out Treecko.
"Bulbasaur, use Sleep Powder."
"Treecko, quickly dodge."
Sleep Powder was released, making Treecko quickly avoid the area where Sleep Powder was released. If he got hit by Sleep Powder and fell asleep, he would be a sitting duck.
"Treecko, use Energy Ball."
With Bulbasaur's speed, it was very difficult to dodge Energy Ball, and it ultimately failed to dodge.
"Bulbasaur~!"
Bulbasaur cried out.
"Use Synthesis."
It was already a sunny day, so Synthesis worked very well. The injuries he had just taken healed instantly.
"Use Vine Whip to force Treecko's position."
Bulbasaur obeyed Jiang Chen's command and began to counterattack with Vine Whip. Treecko's body was very agile, so it was difficult for Vine Whip to hit Treecko. He continuously dodged Vine Whip attacks several times.
"Bulbasaur, use Grass Knot."
Suddenly, grass grew from the ground, tying Treecko's feet. The running Treecko was tripped and fell to the ground.
The moment Treecko was tripped, Vine Whip bound Treecko, and then Bulbasaur used Leech Seed. Leech Seed continuously absorbed Treecko's stamina to replenish its own. With Leech Seed and Synthesis, Jiang Chen could completely fight a war of attrition with Treecko. Treecko would definitely be the one to give up first.
"Treecko, quickly break free."
Finally, Treecko used Leaf Blade to cut the Vine Whip. As soon as the Vine Whip was cut, Bulbasaur's Razor Leaf hit Treecko.
"Am I going to lose again?"
Ling Wanqiu knew that she might have to struggle to the death now.
Leech Seed continuously drained Treecko's stamina. Treecko simply couldn't endure it, and he had also just been hit by Razor Leaf. Although he hadn't lost his ability to battle, Treecko couldn't hold on any longer. Continuing to fight would only be torture.
"I concede this battle."
Ling Wanqiu recalled Treecko. Today was another day of losing to Jiang Chen. However, Ling Wanqiu felt that she was getting used to losing.
