Chapter 68 Mega Evolution

Normally, in cases where the Trainer's commanding ability and the Pokémon's strength are similar, the type that has the advantage definitely has a huge advantage over the type that is at a disadvantage.

For example, among the 18 top Elites in the Xortros Country, the Dragon Elite defeated the other 15 Elites in the first Elite Challenge.

Among the three Elites who were not defeated are the Ice-type Elite and Fairy-type Elite. The Ice-type has a quadruple advantage over the Dragon-type, while the Fairy-type is even more extreme, being completely immune to Dragon-type moves.

The last one was Ashborn's grandfather, Bruce, who defeated the Dragon Elite with his sheer power.

Speaking of which, Bruce is currently the No. 1 Elite among the 18 Elites in the Xortros Country.

Steel-type Elite Bruce is the most powerful among the 18 Elites because he is the only one who defeated 17 Elites with Steel-type Pokémon in the first Elite Challenge, even the Ground-type Elite and Fire-type Elite, who are strong against Steel-types, were no match for Ginger Granpa.

So unless there is an overwhelming advantage in strength, it is relatively unlikely that you want to defeat the opponent while having a type disadvantage.

Terry felt that he had won this game. He had seen his opponent's previous match and had some understanding of Venusaur's strength. Venusaur was weaker than his own Charizard and was at a type disadvantage against Charizard.

Under such circumstances, he really didn't believe that he would lose.

"Venusaur, Mega Evolve."

As the Flamethrower descended, Terry's opponent suddenly lifted his sleeves, revealing a brightly colored gemstone.

A colorful light emanated from the gem and went towards Venusaur, and Venusaur also emitted a colorful light, and the two lights connected in the middle.

At the same time, a huge white light enveloped Venusaur, and when the white light dissipated, a Pokémon larger than the previous Venusaur appeared in front of everyone.

The appearance of Mega Venusaur and Venusaur did not change much, but compared to Venusaur, the flower on Mega Venusaur's back was larger, and the "trunk" below the flower had become thicker.

The appearance of Mega Evolution made the audience exclaim. Many people had only seen such a sight on video screens, but not many had seen it in person.

In the live broadcast screen, the comments flew up.

"Mega Venusaur, awesome!"

"6666, the scene of Mega Evolution is amazing!"

"Why didn't Charizard Mega Evolve?"

"Charizard: I want to Mega Evolve too, but I don't have a Mega Evolution stone."

Venusaur's Mega Evolution attracted a wave of viewers, and many people even cheered for Mega Venusaur, including some who had just supported Charizard.

"What's the origin of this guy? He even has a Mega Evolution stone," zekiel asked suspiciously.

Mega Evolution Stones are a scarce resource, whether in Xortros or other countries, they are something that money cannot buy.

A Mega Evolution Stone can be exchanged for a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, but a pseudo-legendary Pokémon cannot necessarily be exchanged for a Mega Evolution stone.

This shows how rare Mega Evolution stones are.

The head teacher, Sam, didn't know the origin of Terry's opponent, so he looked at Ashborn.

"I don't know either, but this Venusaur has great potential; maybe it's someone from the Grass-type gym," Ashborn said.

The Grass-type gym he was referring to was naturally not an ordinary Grass-type gym, but like their school, it was a national-level Grass-type gym.

There are two national gyms in Denver State, Steel and Grass.

"If it's a Grass-type gym, then Terry is in danger," Stephanie said with a worried expression.

Pokémon: Venusaur (Mega Venusaur)

Level: 41 (51)

Potential: Green

Ability: Overgrow (Thick Fat)

Item: Miracle Seed

Gender: Male

Moves: Petal Blizzard, Petal Dance, Vine Whip, Seed Bomb, Growth, Sunny Day, Energy Ball, Razor Leaf, Synthesis, Sleep Powder, Poison Powder

Move Discs: Giga Drain, Magical Leaf, Protect, Hyper Beam, Grassy Terrain, Venoshock, Bulldoze, Body Slam, Earthquake, Power Whip

Genetic Moves: Ingrain, Nature Power, Energy Ball, Leaf Storm

After Mega Evolving, Venusaur's level increased by ten, and its ability became Thick Fat. This ability halves the damage from Fire-type and Ice-type moves.

This was even more unfavorable for Charizard; the so-called type advantage had disappeared.

The Flamethrower was dismantled with a flick from Mega Venusaur's Vine Whip.

"Venusaur, Power Whip!"

Terry, who was in a daze, heard his opponent's voice and hurriedly returned to his senses, shouting, "Charizard, escape!"

But Power Whip was faster than Charizard in the air. Charizard was just about to flap his wings when he was slapped by Mega Venusaur's two powerful Vine Whips.

Charizard felt like he had been hit by a meteorite and crashed directly to the ground.

"Venusaur, Body Slam!"

Reluctantly opening his eyes, Charizard saw a huge figure appearing above his head. He felt a blackness in front of him, followed by a sharp pain, and then he lost consciousness.

"Charizard is incapacitated, Venusaur wins!" the referee declared.

The referee looked pitifully at Charizard, who was crushed and fainted abruptly. If he had eaten any more, he would have been crushed and excreted waste.

Terry walked off the stage, and his opponent remained in place, obviously wanting to continue the fight.

"He is strong," Terry said to Ashborn, who passed by and was ready to play.

"Just for you," Ashborn replied.

Hearing this sentence, Terry subconsciously stopped, looked at Ashborn's back, and whispered, "If you don't pretend, you will not die."

Ashborn didn't expect the other party to wait any longer. He could wait until the opponent couldn't hold on any longer, thus releasing Mega Evolution.

According to the regulations, the previous player leaves the court, and the next player enters. The interval between them cannot exceed three minutes. As long as they play within three minutes, it is not a violation.

Looking at his opponent's appearance now, it was estimated that he couldn't last for even two minutes. Although Mega Evolution is powerful, it requires the trainer and Pokémon to combine their minds and have deep feelings to evolve.

At the same time, Mega Evolution is also a huge test for the trainer itself. During Mega Evolution, the trainer's mental and physical strength will be continuously consumed.

Even if a normal trainer has a Mega Evolution stone, allowing Pokémon to perform Mega Evolution will only last for about five minutes.

Of course, five minutes is enough to change the outcome of a battle, but this is a regular game. If you are in a secret realm or in the wild, and your Mega Evolution doesn't defeat the opponent and ends, your mental and physical strength will be almost consumed.

At that time, if you want to escape, you probably won't have the strength to do so.

So if you encounter enemies outside, and Mega Evolution doesn't defeat your opponent, then you may be the one who dies. Mega Evolution is not a last resort in unruly places such as the wild and secret realms.
