Pokémon: I just became a Gym Leader, and Cynthia proposed to me.

Chapter 613 I have everything I need now

Although Mega Stones are a bit of a waste for Garchomp, Cynthia still managed to get them.

Because Li Shuwen suggested, "Since Dr. Blatano is an expert in Mega Evolution, perhaps he has a way to allow Garchomp to retain the power boost brought by Mega Evolution."

"At the same time, how do we eliminate the drawback of reduced speed?"

Although Cynthia's rational mind told her that the possibility of this was extremely slim.

But Cynthia still wants to believe that it's really possible.

Dianci and Daye brushed the dust off their clothes and walked up to Li Shuwen.

Denji smiled and said, "Thank you for your support. This Garchomp is incredibly powerful. I never expected there to be a Pokémon of this caliber on Misty Island."

Da Ye remained silent. He had thought that he and Infernape were strong enough to be on par with the Elite Four, and could definitely fight Cynthia.

Even if I can't win, I can at least defeat three to five of Cynthia's Pokémon.

But the battle between Garchomp and Mega Garchomp just now completely shattered Da Ye's understanding.

This made Da Ye realize the gap between ordinary Four Heavenly Kings and top Four Heavenly Kings champions.

He must become stronger before he is qualified to stand before Cynthia and have a proper fight with her.

Misty Island is currently the most important opportunity for Daye.

He must seize this opportunity to enhance his and Infernape's strength as much as possible.

Not only Infernape, but also the other five Pokémon he brought in need of improvement in every possible way.

Otherwise, let alone fighting Cynthia, Da Ye felt that he would soon be unable to even defeat Li Shuwen.

Denji and Daiye continued their special training, while Li Shuwen and Shirona returned to Dr. Blatano's research base.

"Senior brother, how's the research going?"

Dr. Blatano turned his head, his dark circles under his eyes more striking than a panda's.

But his eyes were exceptionally bright.

"Yes, by combining the three different Mega Stones of Blaziken, Sceptile, and Gengar, I actually managed to research something useful."

"In this way, the physical and mental stress of Pokémon after Mega Evolution is reduced, and the energy consumption of using moves is decreased."

"For example, Blaziken can maintain Mega Evolution for a full minute longer."

Li Shuwen nodded in praise, "Senior brother, you truly deserve to be Dr. Yamanashi's top student. You've managed to uncover the secrets of super evolution so quickly."

"We found you another Mega Stone this time you came back."

But judging from Dr. Blatano's appearance, he must have been working tirelessly on his research during the ten days they were away.

Even though the people in this world have superior physiques, Li Shuwen was worried that Dr. Blatano might suddenly die while researching Garchomp's Mega Stone.

So Li Shuwen said, "Eat something and take a nap first, then we'll let you study the Garchomp Mega Stone."

Dr. Blatano readily agreed, and Li Shuwen personally cooked him a meal and lit a calming incense stick.

Misty Island is rich in resources, and Li Shuwen discovered that calming incense made from local materials is even more effective.

I made a large batch, intending to mail it to Brother Sang after it was shipped out.

Cynthia knew that Brother San was Akari, but she didn't intend to expose Akari's disguise directly.

After all, Chi Ri didn't expose her disguise back then, but Li Shuwen's plan to send Chi Ri calming incense also served as a reminder to Xiluona.

We need to tell Chi Ri to reveal his true identity to Li Shuwen as soon as possible.

Otherwise, she'd be caught in the middle and it wouldn't be easy for her.

When Dr. Blatano woke up, it was already completely dark.

"I slept very well."

"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"

Li Shuwen explained the changes Garchomp underwent Mega Evolution, as well as Cynthia's needs.

Dr. Blatano's lips twitched. "Let Garchomp Mega Evolve once first, and I'll see what happens."

Under machine monitoring, data analysis of Garchomp before and after its Mega Evolution was quickly generated.

After reviewing the data report, Dr. Bratano shook his head.

"It's impossible. With current research, it's impossible to retain the enhanced power while maintaining the speed, because Mega Garchomp trades speed for power."

"But the power lost through Mega Evolution should be able to be quickly replenished through Dragon Dance."

This is a workaround, since there's probably only one Garchomp in the world that has mastered Dragon Dance.

Li Shuwen suddenly had a whimsical idea: "Could it be because in ancient times, Garchomp not only had Mega Evolution to enhance its strength, but also Dragon Dance to increase its speed?"

"Is that why Garchomp can't learn Dragon Dance?"

Cynthia asked, puzzled, "Why?"

Li Shuwen said calmly, "Of course it was banned because it affected game balance. Mega Garchomp was too overpowered, causing them to be punished by the gods?"

Cynthia nodded. "That is indeed possible. Perhaps we can find records about Mega Garchomp in ancient texts."

Li Shuwen raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps we can ask Senior Wu Si."

Dr. Blatano also offered a scientific explanation: "The Garchomps with Dragon Dance in their skill inheritance genes were wiped out in ancient times, leaving only those Garchomps that couldn't learn Dragon Dance?"

"This also seems to explain why Gible's scales can be used to make skill discs for Dragon Dance, but Gible itself cannot learn Dragon Dance."

Cynthia decisively brought Garchomp along to try it out, because the speed reduction from Mega Evolution was indeed quickly replenished through Dragon Dance.

Cynthia smiled slightly, "I lack nothing now!"

If you let Garchomp train with a Mega Stone for a year or two, it really will become an invincible dragon.

Li Shuwen's expression changed drastically. Oh no, his wedding dress!

Does he really have to wear a wedding dress when he gets married?

The month spent on Misty Island passed quietly, and finally, the day of departure arrived.

Li Shuwen and Shirona had already been waiting at the exit in their speedboat since early morning for the fog to clear.

Only Dr. Blatano looked back at Misty Island with lingering reluctance.

If it weren't for the fact that he had to go back to the Carlos region, he really planned to stay on Misty Island for the entire year to do research.

His main concern was whether the equipment he brought in could last for a year.

Compared to a month ago, Da Ye's demeanor has become noticeably more composed.

From a blazing fire, it transformed into a steadily flowing mass of magma.

It appears calm on the surface, but in reality, it has become more lethal.

Before parting, Dr. Blatano waved goodbye.

"Junior brother, come visit me in the Kalos region when you have time. We have many interesting Pokémon in the Kalos region too."

"Especially Battlebird, a Fighting-Flying type Pokémon, you'll definitely love it."

Li Shuwen waved his arms, "I will definitely go to the Kalos region. I really like the Pokémon from the Kalos region."
