Chapter 54

"Mega Bracelet? What the heck is that?"

Riku was a bit confused and quickly opened the system warehouse.

When he saw a silver-gray metal bracelet with a glass bead in the middle, he immediately put it on—but nothing happened.

Fortunately, the system provided a detailed explanation.

When he saw that the Mega Bracelet was actually used for Pokémon Mega Evolution, Riku was first stunned—then overjoyed.

He hadn't heard of Mega Evolution before, but since Pokémon became much stronger after evolving, adding a "Mega" might make it even more awesome?

If Lapras or Gengar could Mega Evolve, perhaps they could defeat Bruno.

Since Riku didn't fully understand what Mega Evolution was, he immediately rushed back.

Lorelei, who had been reading a novel, casually glanced up when she saw Riku return. But her eyes were sharp, and she immediately noticed the bracelet on his wrist.

"Riku, what's this!"

Lorelei was so shocked that she jumped up from her chair.

"Let me see... It couldn't be... is it really a Mega Bracelet!?"

"Miss Lorelei, do you know what this bracelet is?" Riku asked excitedly.

"Thank goodness you know—otherwise, I'd be in trouble."

"Where did you get this Mega Bracelet?" Lorelei had already confirmed that what Riku held was indeed a Mega Bracelet.

"Found it," Riku fibbed.

"It looked pretty cool, so I just wanted to ask you what it's all about."

"What luck you have..." Lorelei was stunned.

"Mega Bracelets are the latest product researched by the Pokémon World Center.

Logically speaking, only Champion-level Pokémon Trainers would have the opportunity to come into contact with Mega Bracelets.

Could it be... did a Champion-level Trainer accidentally lose this Mega Bracelet?"

"I'm not sure," Riku shook his head.

"Miss Lorelei, all I want to know now is what this Mega Bracelet is used for."

Riku already knew that the Mega Bracelet was for Pokémon Mega Evolution, but he had fiddled with it for quite a while and couldn't figure it out.

"Mega Bracelet, as the name suggests, can allow Pokémon to Mega Evolve," Lorelei slowly explained.

"Rumor has it that after Pokémon Mega Evolve, all their stats will skyrocket. They might even gain new abilities and change their types."

"However, up to now, there are very few Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution. I've only seen it a few times myself."

"It's that difficult?" Riku was taken aback.

"Could it be that besides the Mega Bracelet, some additional conditions are needed?"

"That's right!" Lorelei nodded.

"Mega Stones are also needed. These Mega Stones are extremely rare. I've never seen one myself."

Mega Stones.

Riku seemed to recall something and quickly summoned the system in secret.

In the evolution stone section of the system shop, he quickly found the Mega Stones.

There were many of them.

Almost all Pokémon's Mega Stones were available.

However, Riku wasn't excited at all. When he saw the price of the Mega Stones, his heart sank.

The prices varied, but even the cheapest Mega Stone cost seven figures—a million points!

Riku had worked so hard for so long and had only accumulated 100,000 points so far. Even if he somehow saved up a million points, he'd still hesitate to buy one.

Especially when he saw that Lapras and Gengar's Mega Stones cost a whopping 2.5 million points each.

Riku immediately felt that Lapras and Gengar would never be able to Mega Evolve in this lifetime.

Beep—

"Flying-type Law Berries are ripe. Please harvest them in time to prevent the leakage of Flying-type laws."

"If you need to preserve them, please spend 500 points to purchase exquisite glass boxes in the system shop."

Just as Riku was frowning, the system notification sound suddenly rang.

At least for the current Riku, that was a bit of comfort.

After all, Flying-type counters Fighting-type. If he could make good use of it, it might increase his chances of winning.

After chatting with Lorelei for a while, Riku went directly into the berry forest.

"Eight Flying Law Berries."

Counting the ripe Flying Law Berries, Riku shook his head.

The number wasn't very large.

However, if Riku had a Flying-type Pokémon now, he would probably be quite happy.

May's Blastoise had eaten Water-type Law Berries a few days ago, and its strength had reportedly improved by leaps and bounds—even becoming a match for Blaziken.

Before eating the Water-type Law Berries, due to level and speed issues, Blastoise had never beaten Blaziken, despite having a type advantage.

So, these Law Berries were still quite useful for ordinary Pokémon.

"You guys eat them," Riku said, shaking his head at the three legendary birds standing nearby.

"You're all Flying-type Pokémon. Eating Flying Law Berries might make you fly even faster."

"Gaa gaa—"

Led by Big Yellow, the three silly birds shook their heads.

"Master, we won't eat them."

"We bet Red Shrimp before and lost all our Flying Law Berries..."

"Then where's Red Shrimp? Why haven't I seen it?" Riku was taken aback. He looked around but didn't see Groudon.

"It... it has some business," the three legendary birds exchanged glances, then made up a story.

"Just last night, Red Shrimp's little female shrimp seemed to want to break up with it and ran off with another stronger red shrimp."

"If Red Shrimp doesn't go back to take a look, the little female shrimp's belly will be big the next time it sees her."

Riku was astonished.

"Really? That Shrimp could even hook up with a female shrimp?"

"It couldn't even get enough to eat before... never mind."

Riku shook his head.

"When Red Shrimp comes back, tell it this—"

"Say I told it to bring that female shrimp back. Don't let it get tricked again and then blame me."

"Anyway, it's just raising another Pokémon. I can afford it."

Riku's words immediately gave the three legendary birds a headache.

Where were they going to find a female shrimp now?
