Time passed swiftly.
In the blink of an eye, it was already late June.
At the heart of Qinglin Secret Realm, beside a tranquil lakeside filled with birdsong and blooming flowers, few people knew that a legendary Pokémon—Celebi—quietly resided here.
On an open patch near the water, Milotic coiled gracefully with eyes closed.
Her breathing rose and fell in a slow rhythm.
Each inhale and exhale seemed to align with some subtle law of nature itself.
Watching her brought an inexplicable sense of calm.
Beside her, Gardevoir stood in meditation.
Suddenly—
A white glow enveloped her body.
She Mega Evolved.
What made it astonishing was this:
There was no Trainer channeling energy into her.
She completed Mega Evolution alone.
Farther away, on a separate stretch of land, Gabite roared toward the sky. Pale blue draconic energy gathered behind him, forming the phantom silhouette of a ferocious dragon.
It howled—
Then slammed downward in a devastating dive.
Dragon Rush.
The impact sent tremors rippling across a hundred-meter radius.
Nearby, Kubfu—clad in specially designed training armor—executed an advanced martial sequence. Wind burst from his punches and kicks.
Finally—
He struck a boulder taller than himself.
Cracks spiderwebbed instantly across its surface.
Approaching the College Entrance Exams
Ordinarily, with the national college entrance exam approaching, even the laziest students would feel mounting pressure.
But Oliver had already been directly admitted to Capital University.
He didn't even need to take the exam.
His daily life remained unchanged.
His Pokémon, however—
Had changed considerably.
Current StatusMiloticLevel: Gym – Mid Stage
Potential: Champion
Abilities: Adaptability, Marvel Scale
Special Trait: Primordial Water (70%)
Milotic had mastered sensing and absorbing natural energy. Through its stimulation, she pushed Primordial Water to 70% activation.
The absorption speed remained slow—
But steady.
GardevoirLevel: Gym – Early Stage
Potential: Champion
Ability: Telepathy
She achieved the greatest breakthrough.
Perhaps influenced by Gabite's rapid evolution, she fully absorbed the origin power within the Silver Feather.
Her level rose to Gym-tier.
Her potential climbed to Champion-tier.
And most importantly—
She could now Mega Evolve independently.
The Silver Feather itself had become an ordinary relic.
Yet she kept it close as a memento.
GabiteLevel: Senior – Mid Stage
Potential: Champion
Ability: Sand Veil
Gabite focused on stabilizing the rapid power gains from earlier breakthroughs.
While his level hadn't increased, the Flying-type energy stored within him now surpassed the Electric energy he had previously absorbed.
Interestingly—
Because Oliver visited Rongcheng Gym so frequently, and each session took considerable time—
Eventually, Gabite began going alone.
For months, he endured beatings without retaliation.
Lu Ming wasn't foolish.
He suspected something unusual.
But as a battle fanatic, having a durable sparring partner was a dream.
Over time, Gabite didn't even bother pretending anymore.
He simply stood there.
Let Pidgeot attack.
When stamina ran out—
He went home.
And ironically—
His mental and physical state often seemed better afterward.
KubfuLevel: Advanced – Early Stage
Potential: Champion (!)
Ability: Inner Focus
Kubfu showed no explosive leap—
But his progress was steady.
Visible.
Solid.
He advanced step by step.
A Peaceful Moment
Oliver stood quietly, watching his Pokémon train.
Nearby, two Celebi held a phone together, chattering excitedly at something on the screen.
He smiled.
This life—
Felt fulfilling.
Trainer and Pokémon, growing together.
The peaceful image of a young man and his partners under sunlight formed a serene tableau.
Then—
A phone rang.
The calm shattered.
Oliver glanced at the screen.
Caller ID: League Headquarters.
He answered.
"…What? It's been collected already?"
A brief pause.
"…Understood. I'll return immediately."
The atmosphere shifted instantly.
Whatever the League had prepared—
Was important.
Very important.
