"So this is the effect of the Mew Gene Enhancement Serum? It really does seem extraordinary."
Looking at the two mysterious gene chains composed of colorful light appearing in front of his Pokémon, Sato's eyes sparkled with excitement, and his face was filled with deep anticipation.
Before long, the two chains of colorful light dissolved into radiant hues and vanished, enveloping both Pokémon in a shimmering aura.
Gradually, the multicolored glow surrounding them faded, replaced by new hues—Swampert was now encased in a blue-and-yellow light, while the Shiny Pelipper was bathed in a cyan-blue glow.
At this moment, even though Sato was just an ordinary human, he could clearly sense the gradual rise in their auras over time.
This state lasted for about five minutes before the radiance surrounding both Pokémon began to dissipate.
In the end, the light dispersed into differently colored particles and swiftly disappeared into the air.
By now, Swampert and the Shiny Pelipper had undergone slight changes in appearance, though their overall forms remained mostly the same.
However, in Sato's eyes, the transformation was nothing short of a complete overhaul—especially for Swampert, whose changes thrilled him the most.
In reality, after consuming the Mew Gene Enhancement Serum, Swampert had not grown larger; instead, he had actually shrunk a little. In short, he had slimmed down—but in a good way.
Swampert had never had the most ideal body coordination before. Due to less-than-perfect training, his physique still carried some excess fat and muscle in certain areas.
But now, after taking the Mew Gene Enhancement Serum, Swampert's entire body seemed to have been sculpted by a master craftsman, making him perfectly proportioned.
Not a single ounce of excess fat or unnecessary muscle remained.
Swampert could now feel an overwhelming surge of strength coursing through his entire body.
He could distinctly perceive each and every muscle, and he could easily command them to concentrate power into a single point at will.
Beyond that, Swampert had also developed an incredibly heightened awareness of the Water-type and Ground-type energy flowing freely throughout the world.
Even if these energies were several kilometers away, he could still sense them clearly—and with just a single thought, he could connect with them and summon them at will.
Swampert knew that his control over Water-type and Ground-type energy had advanced to an entirely new level.
He now felt like a vortex, constantly drawing in the surrounding Water-type and Ground-type energy.
These energies, like wandering children returning home, naturally gravitated toward him with a deep sense of affinity.
"Swamp~!"
Feeling exhilarated, Swampert let out a cry. Then, raising both hands, he effortlessly gathered a water-blue energy orb in one hand and a soil-brown energy orb in the other.
In just two seconds, the two energy spheres had expanded to the size of basketballs. However, under Swampert's precise control, they compressed even further.
Eventually, they shrank to the size of soccer balls, yet powerful waves of blue and earthy yellow energy radiated from them in pulses.
"Incredible… Not only can he control two different types of energy simultaneously, but he can also compress them, transforming them into tangible energy waves. Until now, only Bellossom had reached this level of mastery within the team. This is the power of a Pokémon with maxed-out individual values!"
Seeing Swampert manipulate both types of energy with such skill, Sato's heart was filled with excitement.
He was now completely convinced that Swampert was his ace Pokémon, and he was in awe of the Mew Gene Enhancement Serum's miraculous effects.
Yes, Swampert's original total individual value had already been an impressive 172, just 14 points shy of the maximum 186.
Now, with the supplement's enhancement—and a stroke of good fortune—his total individual value had skyrocketed to 186, making him Sato's first fully maxed-out Pokémon.
Moreover, as Swampert's natural talent increased, his control over Water-type and Ground-type energy had improved significantly, even allowing him to instinctively learn new moves.

"Increasing his mastery over Water-type and Ground-type energy also allowed him to learn Rain Dance and Earth Power. This is truly something to celebrate!"
Looking at Swampert's new stats, Sato could no longer hide the joy in his eyes. He gave Swampert an approving smile, filled with pride.
Then, Sato turned his attention to the Shiny Pelipper. Compared to Swampert, her transformation was even more dramatic.
Perhaps because Swampert had already been incredibly gifted, the Mew Gene Enhancement Serum didn't need much time to reshape his body.
But for the Shiny Pelipper, the process had taken more than twice as long.
After thinking it over, Sato immediately understood why.
The Shiny Pelipper had been rejected and driven out by her flock since birth. The fact that she had survived was a testament to her sheer willpower, but her growth had clearly suffered.
Even after evolving into a Pelipper, she had remained quite small.
Now, with the help of the Mew Gene Enhancement Serum, her body had been completely reshaped to reach its optimal form—resulting in a drastic transformation.
Her once-small frame had nearly doubled in size.
Previously, she had only been about the size of a sturdy Swanna, reaching just up to Sato's waist, with a wingspan of around 1.5 meters.
Now, she had grown to nearly the size of a robust calf, standing as tall as Sato himself, with a wingspan that stretched at least 2.5 meters.
Sato was certain that the Shiny Pelipper could now carry him effortlessly through the sky. He could sit comfortably on her slightly curved back while soaring through the air.
(Note: Pelipper can actually grow quite large. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Shelly, one of the Admins of Team Aqua, had a Pelipper that was several times larger than herself.)
Additionally, because the Mew Gene Enhancement Serum reshaped a Pokémon's body to perfection, the Shiny Pelipper's once-bloated beak had noticeably shrunk—thinning down considerably.
With this adjustment, her body no longer appeared bulky or unbalanced.
Instead, her proportions had become much more natural, making her appearance far more streamlined and aesthetically pleasing.
It could be said without exaggeration that the current Shiny Pelipper was among the most beautiful female Pelipper in existence.
Shiny Pelipper's original total Individual Values (IVs) were 163, 23 points short of the maximum.
The effect of the Mew Gene Enhancement Serum was to randomly increase a Pokémon's IVs by 1 to 30 points. Shiny Pelipper was quite lucky, as one dose of the potion increased her IVs by 20 points.
Although she didn't reach the maximum IVs like Swampert, she successfully became a high-IV, gold-tier Pokémon.

Similar to Swampert, after Shiny Pelipper's potential was elevated to gold-tier, her control over Water-type and Flying-type energy reached a new height.
"Peli~~"
After her body was reshaped, Shiny Pelipper took a moment to familiarize herself with her new form. She then flew to the window, turned her head, and called out to Sato.
Understanding her intention, Sato quickly opened the window, allowing Shiny Pelipper to fly out.
With a burst, Shiny Pelipper soared into the high sky above the train. Like Swampert, she could now clearly sense the Water-type and Flying-type energy within a radius of three to four kilometers, and these energies were actively converging toward her.
With a single thought, a bright blue light shone in Shiny Pelipper's eyes as she activated her Drizzle ability.
In the next moment, Water-type energy within the area rapidly began to gather around her.
Soon, a dark cloud formed above the speeding train, expanding like an inflating balloon.
Finally, a massive, ominous cloud loomed over the train, moving at high speed alongside Shiny Pelipper, casting a shadow over the train.
As a strong wind suddenly blew, torrential rain began to pour down from the cloud.
In an instant, a fierce storm had arrived.
"This is what it means to command the wind and rain. Incredible, truly incredible! Hahaha~~~"
Watching the rain pour wildly outside the window and listening to the sound of the strong wind battering against it, Sato laughed, and he laughed with great joy.
