Pokémon science had developed for years. They had seen Pokémon that couldn't evolve and those that evolved once, but most were like Garchomp—exhausting their life potential after two evolutions.
At this stage, a Pokémon was considered perfect. Unless faced with drastic environmental changes forcing natural selection over millennia, they wouldn't change. And even that wasn't "evolution" in the traditional sense.
But this new shark species, appearing through the light of evolution, looked exactly like traditional evolution in every way.
Not only did her appearance change, but her strength skyrocketed in mere seconds, jumping a full tier without any cost.
Mega Garchomp's aura had reached the Pseudo-Legendary level (Champion+). Because this power was sudden and immense, even Garchomp couldn't fully control it. Her terrifying aura leaked out, suffocating everyone in the room.
They knew Cynthia's Garchomp was strong—beyond common understanding—but since no one had seen her go all out, they lacked a direct concept of how strong.
Now, they felt it. The reason Garchomp rarely went all out was that few could withstand the shockwaves of her full power.
Even Caitlin, a psychic, forgot to breathe in the face of this ferocious aura...
After a while, Mega Garchomp managed to suppress her aura. Platinum slumped onto the sofa, relieved.
Too scary... if that aura were directed at me, I might have wet myself...
Is this Sister Cynthia's true power?
Can I really catch up to her?
"Garchomp! (What is this power? So strong!)" Mega Garchomp was equally shocked. She knew her past self couldn't compare to this current power. She was terrifyingly strong, even scaring herself.
"This power was hidden in your genes. I call it Mega Evolution—evolution that transcends the limits of life," Li Yuan explained with a smile.
Seeing everyone, including Cynthia, stunned into silence satisfied him greatly. This is the look of country bumpkins seeing the city~.
Now you know your husband is amazing, right? Be obedient tonight and spread your legs~.
"Mega Evolution... transcends limits..." Cynthia muttered, deeply shaken.
To be honest, Garchomp's growth had slowed significantly over the past two years. While not stagnant, breaking through to the next tier—touching the boundary of Legendary power—seemed hopeless.
Throughout history, many brilliant trainers had risen. Some were more talented than her, some younger. But after reaching Champion level, they stopped progressing. Not because they failed, but because the veil between Champion and Legend seemed unbreakable.
To this day, no human had ever broken through to Legendary power.
But now, the power countless people dreamed of but could never reach had been realized in her hands, in such a casual manner. Even she wasn't ready to accept this power, even if it was just Pseudo-Legendary.
Who could have guessed that the little brat she slept with casually held the secret to Legendary power?
This guy is ridiculous... just when you think you value him enough, he casually pulls out something even more shocking.
How talented do you have to be to shatter people's cognition at such a young age?
He is a genius beyond my imagination.
Having such a boy as my man... doesn't seem like a bad thing.
Even a strong-willed woman like Cynthia couldn't help but have vulgar thoughts about using her body to keep him.
"How about it, Sister Cynthia? Are you satisfied with this power? Is it time to fulfill the bet?" Li Yuan's words were wicked, shattering the romantic thoughts Cynthia had just formed.
This guy is a genius, but he can't change his perverted mind. All day long, it's just 'sleep with her, sleep with her.' Can't you do something more meaningful?
You could charm me with your talent, but you insist on groping me directly. Have you no class?
"Satisfied my foot! I thought you were joking about evolution. Now you've turned my Garchomp into this ghost-shark-thing! I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you dare make demands?" Cynthia couldn't stand his smug, perverted look. Even if she was satisfied internally, she couldn't give him a good face.
Give him an inch, and he'd eat you alive.
It's hard work making my man act normal.
"I recall Sister Cynthia isn't someone who cares about appearances, right?" Li Yuan wouldn't let her off. She had criticized Dawn for caring only about looks; now she was hypocritical about Garchomp?
Although he admitted Mega Garchomp's speed and looks were downgraded, the power increase was undeniable. Plus, this Garchomp knew Dragon Dance, so the speed drop wasn't an issue.
"Do you know how many years Garchomp has been with me? I'm used to how she looks. It's normal to be unable to accept this sudden change," Cynthia retorted.
She valued strength, but she cared about looks too. She wanted both.
Her Garchomp was originally cool and strong. Now, the looks were sacrificed for power. She couldn't watch!
And more importantly... didn't Li Yuan say Mega Evolution relied on feelings?
Why did she fail, but Li Yuan—an outsider—succeeded?
So you two had an affair behind my back, didn't you?
My Pokémon Mega Evolving with someone else... isn't this NTR?
"Simple. I never said she couldn't turn back," Li Yuan said calmly, ignoring her nitpicking.
"What? You can devolve?" Cynthia paused, a bad feeling rising.
"As expected of a Champion, you guessed it~," Li Yuan snapped his fingers, withdrawing his Aura from the Key Stone and cutting the resonance.
The power switch on Garchomp flipped off. The strength rivaling a Pseudo-Legendary drained away rapidly. Like a deflated balloon, her body shrank back to its original form in seconds.
The three women were stunned again. She really turned back?
This... a final evolution evolving again is shocking enough, but devolving? That's like an adult turning back into a child. It's absurd!
"How... how did you do that?" Cynthia was too tired to be shocked anymore.
From last night until now, she had endured too much emotional pressure from him.
Please, be human. You've hogged all the incredible feats; how are others supposed to live?
"Does it matter how? Since Sister Cynthia doesn't like it, I can't force you. I'll just take the stones back," Li Yuan smirked mischievously, reaching for the Key Stone in Cynthia's hand.
Cynthia panicked immediately. She was just talking; how could she not care about this power?
"What are you doing? Daring to rob my things!" Cynthia looked at him resentfully. Seeing things going south, she abandoned her Champion image and started being unreasonable.
"What do you mean 'your things'? I just let you try them. I never said I'd give them to you. Why would I give away something so expensive for free?" Li Yuan complained.
"What do you mean 'for free'? Your things are my things!" Cynthia clutched the Key Stone tightly, putting it in her pocket and refusing to return it. She said something that sounded incredibly unreasonable to outsiders.
Even her loyal fans, Caitlin and Platinum, felt Cynthia was being a bit too willful today.
Mega Evolution was tempting, but anyone could see the items were precious. It was reasonable for him not to give them away. How could a Champion forcibly claim them?
It was a bit improper.
But Li Yuan's smile grew wider. To outsiders, it was unreasonable. To him, it was perfect.
She was saying that the Mega Stones were conjugal property.
With this sentence, Cynthia was effectively confirming their relationship, even if she couldn't admit it publicly yet.
"Hehe. You're right. Everything I have belongs to Sister Cynthia. Use it as you please~," Li Yuan nodded in agreement. Wifey is right.
"Hmph. As long as you understand," Cynthia blushed slightly but didn't argue.
She knew that after this, the boy would become even more unscrupulous with her. Tonight would be difficult.
So be it. She had survived the fierce battle last night; what was one more night of his smugness?
After tonight, she would leave for work and stay far away from him!
So, the two tacitly skipped over the issue, leaving the other two girls dumbfounded. Why did he agree so easily?
And what does 'his things are her things' mean? Is there really something going on between them?
Caitlin suddenly became alert!
