Chapter 297 Charizard Evolution Stone X
"Hey, he hasn't come to my door for so many days since he came back. That kid must be stumped by my puzzle."
Since the Quartz Conference ended, most gym owners have been freed from the obligation of "having to receive challengers", and Xia Bo has begun to focus on his own affairs.
...
Although he didn't work seriously from the beginning.
Compared with receiving challengers, Xia Bo, a former scholar stationed in Honglian Town, actually monitors the status of the volcano in real time with a professional eye.
In any case, the Honglian volcano is about to erupt. It is Joey and Junsha's job to prepare for the psychological construction and evacuation of local residents. As a trainer of the Honglian Gym, he only needs to take care of his own little piece of land.
Therefore, Xia Bo secretly brought the elves to the Twin Islands to carry out the initial transformation work, intending to use these two uninhabited islands covered with snow as the site for the new Honglian Gym.
While he was directing the workers and elves of the Monster Moving Company to transform the island as usual, he was complaining about Zhou You's slow movements in his heart-
The latter riding a fire-breathing dragon fell directly from the sky.
"Good afternoon, Xia Bo." Zhou You waved and greeted below.
But because of the strong wind, Xia Bo seemed to have heard something wrong: "It's not a wig (kazura), it's Xia Bo (katsura)!"
Zhou You: "..."
After a while, Zhou You landed safely.
Looking at the workers and Hao Li who were working not far away, Zhou You was full of emotion.
Obviously, he was only 10 years old, why was his mentality similar to that of the old man Xia Bo, and they both chose the same way of retirement.
In the Pokémon world, is it common practice to find an island to live with your Pokémon after retirement...
"Qiao Qiao, I have to praise your ability to investigate, explore and solve puzzles. I didn't expect you to find the Twin Islands."
In fact, just now Xia Bo almost decided to take the initiative to reduce the difficulty - he didn't consider the possibility that Zhou You ignored it after returning from Fenglai City and just wanted to get the X-Shotstone this morning.
This kind of powerful props suitable for their own Pokémon will definitely be sought after by any trainer.
"It's just so-so. Actually, I took advantage of it." Zhou You decided to avoid talking about his violent decryption. "Xia Bo, are you going to build a Red Lotus Gym here in the future? Will the environment of Gemini Island be unsuitable for fire elves to live in?"
"Fire elves will not be affected by this external environment."
Xia Bo shook his head when he heard this: "It is in the cold environment that the heat of the flame can be set off. Moreover, since you took Articuno away, the temperature of Gemini Island has gradually risen. The inside of the cave is still very cold, but the outside is starting to warm up."
After all, the geographical location of Gemini Island is closer to the South Country, and further south is the Orange Islands. It is normal to be a little hotter.
The reason why the four seasons inside and outside were like midwinter before was largely because Articuno chose to build a nest here.
Even if this Articuno is not the Ice God of Asia Island, as a legendary elf, it still has the ability to transform the surrounding environment.
Zhou You suddenly realized that the temperature of Gemini Island has been rising year by year since Articuno left. It is estimated that the ice elves here will migrate in groups to the snowy mountains northwest of Pallet Town or near Kaji Town in Johto after Gemini Island is no longer suitable for them to live.
"Do I need to let Articuno come here every year to change the climate so that the environment here remains cold?" He asked after thinking it over again and again.
"That's not necessary. Ice elves are not only able to survive in the ice and snow, but only they can adapt to that environment." Xia Bo explained to the other party who didn't know much about ice elves, "As long as it doesn't become as hot as a volcano, it's nothing for them."
"And... forget it, Qiao Qiao, what do you think this is?"
After that, Xia Bo took out a stone with a diameter of about ten centimeters from his pocket. The overall color was sky blue and light blue, and there was a blue and black structure similar to a genetic spiral inside.
If you don't consider its size, it looks very similar to a toy like marbles.
"Super Evolution Stone, but this Super Evolution Stone is too big, isn't it?"
Zhou You took the palm-sized X-Spray Stone from Xia Bo and tried to weigh it. It was not light, and he could clearly feel some special energy flowing inside it.
The Electric Dragon Stone that Dr. Yamanashi gave him was smaller, but he gave it to Ye Zi when he came back before, so he couldn't compare the size specifically.
"It is normal for different Super Evolution Stones to have different sizes."
Xia Bo, who had studied with Dr. Fuji when he was young and had a good understanding of this, explained: "According to some speculations, these Super Evolution Stones are likely to be the product of some special stones such as Evolution Stones being irradiated by some kind of energy. Since their prototypes are different, their appearances and sizes are naturally different."
Zhou You has some impression of this hypothesis, which should have been proposed by Dr. Buranota in the Kalos area.
"But according to this statement, Charizard's evolution stone is likely to be a fire stone affected by special energy? Then why can't it make other fire attribute Pokémon mega-evolve, but only Charizard mega-evolves?" Zhou You still has doubts about this.
As we all know, mega evolution stones correspond to a specific Pokémon. Pokémon that have not been mega-evolved may not have mega-evolved, but they have not yet found a matching evolution stone.
Even artificial Pokémon like Mewtwo can mega-evolve autonomously, so Pokémon like Land Cloud, Blazing Roaring Tiger, Booming Vortex, and Gnatosaurus should also be able to mega-evolve.
Zhou You thought to himself, although the mega system is a garbage system that destroys the balance of the game, it is a complete failure.
But it has to be said that it is quite comfortable to use, and everyone hopes that their favorite Pokémon can also mega-evolve.
Xia Bo shrugged: "Who knows? Humans haven't even started to understand Pokémon yet. It's too early to delve into these things now. This thing is useless to us. Just take it."
"Useless?"
Xia Bo should have Charizard, right?
Perhaps seeing the confusion in the other party's eyes, Xia Bo sighed helplessly: "Super evolution will gain extremely powerful power but also pay a price."
Zhou You immediately understood after hearing this.
Super evolution will greatly stimulate the potential of Pokémon.
The explosive improvement of ability will naturally not be without cost. It will not only consume the Pokémon's physical strength exponentially, but also bring a great burden to their spirit, and may even affect their temperament in the process.
For example, becoming cold-blooded, irritable and belligerent, full of destructive instincts, and even likely to attack their own trainers...
Therefore, this has very high requirements for both trainers and Pokémon.
Even for a trainer like Green, his Blastoise can only barely hit a few moves after super evolution.
But Xia Bo and his Charizard are no longer young and can hardly withstand this kind of overclocking.
