79: Section 79

“It’s worth mentioning that although Ho-Oh stays far away from human inhabited areas, it has actually been observing humans all along.”

“And Suicune, Entei, and Raikou, as Ho-Oh’s envoys, are doing the same thing.”

“Under normal circumstances, the Three Legendary Beasts always act alone. The only situation that would usually cause the Three Legendary Beasts to gather together is if Ho-Oh reappears.”

“Since the Three Legendary Beasts have appeared together now, I suspect Ho-Oh might also be nearby.”

When Anchor said the last part, his tone became a bit uncertain.

Previously, when he saw the Three Legendary Beasts gathered together, he didn’t think much of it, only assuming it was because Raikou had awakened, which led to that situation.

But after thinking carefully for a moment, he realized that the probability of this was actually not high.

The most likely reason for the Three Legendary Beasts to gather together would still be Ho-Oh.

However, this isn't an absolute certainty.

Unless he also saw Marshadow, the unofficial member of the Three Legendary Beasts, he couldn't be entirely sure whether this was related to Ho-Oh.

Because Anchor was focused on treating Charizard's injuries and pondering the issue of the Three Legendary Beasts and Ho-Oh, he didn't notice the very disappointed expression that flashed across Snivy's face, who was placed beside him.

As for the reason for the disappointment... well, among Anchor’s four Pokémon, Snivy was the only one who didn't get any benefits, so a temporary dip in mood was inevitable.

Although I’ve heard Anchor mention it once before, hearing about Ho-Oh’s ability again still feels incredibly unbelievable.

Yes, it’s resurrection from the dead after all.

The greatest miracle in the world is resurrection from the dead.

Yeah, isn’t that so-called God, with just a gimmick of resurrection from the dead, gained so many followers?

This is still different. God’s is boasted, but Ho-Oh can truly bring people back from the dead. After all, the appearance of the Three Legendary Beasts is the best example!

To be honest, that’s true.

Do you think Ho-Oh will really appear nearby, as Anchor said?

That’s hard to say, after all, besides this, we have no other clues.

Actually, what I want to say is that the “nearby” Anchor mentioned might not be the same as what we understand as “nearby.” After all, as you’ve seen, Pokémon’s mobility is incredibly strong, and as an existence above the Three Legendary Beasts, Ho-Oh’s speed goes without saying. So, it’s hard to say how large the range of this “nearby” refers to.

This is indeed a problem.

Wait! Did you miss something? Why did Charizard suddenly return to its original form?

Yeah! How did I forget about this?

It’s not your fault, Anchor’s topic-shifting skills are just too amazing!

This is my first time seeing a Pokémon revert to its original state after evolving; it’s really strange.

Perhaps this is because the Super Evolution Anchor used earlier is different from a normal evolution?

Pokémon indeed still hold many secrets that we humans don’t know about.

It was fine not knowing before, as there were no clues, but now that we’ve seen this Super Evolution with our own eyes, we naturally want to figure out what’s going on.

Anchor, can you explain what Super Evolution is exactly? I really want to know!

Yeah, Anchor, please explain, I beg you!

Urgent! I am the King of Urgency!

It’s useless even if you’re anxious. If Anchor doesn’t want to say, what can you do?

That stings, my friend!

Although Charizard’s form change greatly surprised the Water Friends, before they could even feel confused, their attention was drawn by the content Anchor was explaining.

After all, it was content related to Ho-Oh, so how could they not care?

Especially when they heard Anchor say that Ho-Oh might also have appeared, they became even more excited, immediately starting to discuss it on the bullet screen.

After a long while, someone belatedly remembered Charizard’s problem.

“Cough cough! I wasn’t trying to change the subject; I just saw that you’re all so interested in Legendary creatures, so I brought up Ho-Oh, okay?”

Anchor felt wronged when he saw the accusations against him on the bullet screen.

Although he had indeed changed the subject in the past, this time it had nothing to do with him; it was clearly the Water Friends who were discussing the Three Legendary Beasts, which is why he brought up Ho-Oh, okay?

“Since you’re all so interested in Charizard’s situation, I’ll briefly explain it.”

“Just as you heard before, Charizard did use Super Evolution. As the name suggests, Super Evolution can indeed be considered a type of evolution, but to be precise, Super Evolution is actually a higher-level evolution that transcends a Pokémon’s evolutionary limit!”

“It has a significant difference from ordinary evolution. Only Pokémon that can no longer undergo ordinary evolution, meaning Pokémon that have already evolved to their final evolutionary form, can undergo Super Evolution.”

“A Pokémon that undergoes Super Evolution will temporarily release the hidden power within its body, unleashing abilities that cannot be obtained through ordinary evolution.”

“But precisely because it’s a temporary release of hidden power, Super Evolution, unlike ordinary evolution, has a time limit and cannot be maintained indefinitely. This is the biggest difference between Super Evolution and ordinary evolution!”

“Moreover, I must tell you that undergoing Super Evolution is a very difficult thing, because not all Pokémon can undergo Super Evolution; only some Pokémon can.”

“Besides that, a Pokémon needs to meet certain conditions to undergo Super Evolution.”

“First is emotion; only when a Pokémon and its Trainer have a strong enough bond can Super Evolution occur.”

“Also, you need two relatively special items: a Mega Stone and a Key Stone.”

“Look, these are the two items. The Key Stone is worn by the Trainer, and the Mega Stone is worn by the Pokémon.”

“And you need to pay attention that the Mega Stone used by different Pokémon is actually different.”

“For example, the Mega Stone Charizard is currently holding can only allow Charizard to undergo Super Evolution.”

At the end of his explanation, Anchor also showed the Water Friends the Key Stone he possessed and the Charizardite X that Charizard was wearing.

He wanted them to know what these two items looked like.

Perhaps someone would be lucky enough to find these two items in the wild?

However, despite thinking this, Anchor also knew that the probability of this happening was very low.

After all, let alone on Blue Star, even in the Elf Pokemon World, Key Stones and Mega Stones were extremely difficult to obtain.

And even if you were lucky enough to see them, it didn't mean you would definitely be able to obtain them.

This led to the fact that usually only Trainers with strong abilities and good luck would acquire them.

If either of these two was lacking, it would be very difficult to obtain a Key Stone and an ite.

Of course, if you were a cash-wielding powerhouse, that would be another matter.

However, that would be a long time from now; at least for now, even if someone offered a lot of money, it would be unlikely to buy a Key Stone and a Mega Stone.

Hiss~ So Super Evolution is that amazing?

I hope my future Pokémon can also Super Evolve!

Evolution that transcends a Pokémon’s evolutionary limit? This really makes people look forward to it. I wonder if my Pokémon can also undergo Super Evolution.

Holy crap! A big shot with a Pokémon has appeared!

Chapter 98: New Special Ability! Overcoming Power! (Seeking self-subscription)

Although having a Pokémon is indeed considered a big deal now, how to obtain this Mega Stone and Key Stone is also a problem.

Yes, so instead of thinking about whether your Pokémon can Super Evolve, it’s better to first let them evolve to their final evolutionary form.

While that’s true, why do I always feel like your tone is a bit sour?

Upstairs, why are you speaking such a harsh truth?

What’s there to be sour about? The Pokémon that can be caught now are just Magikarp, Caterpie, and those kinds of Pokémon, right? What’s there to envy?

Hehe! Someone’s getting anxious; I won’t say who.

Yeah, you don’t care, you just almost wrote “I care a lot” all over your face.

Although that person was a bit sour, there was one thing he said that wasn't wrong: to quickly evolve your Pokémon to their final evolutionary form.

You say it so simply; how is that an easy thing to do?

You can’t say that, can you? Anchor’s Pokémon evolved very quickly, didn’t they?

Yeah! Especially Charizard! It clearly just evolved before, and then it evolved again in just a few days! Looking at it this way, it’s actually not that difficult for Pokémon to evolve.

I’m not sure why Anchor’s Pokémon evolve so quickly, but one thing is certain: it must be related to the high-quality food Anchor gives them. So, the question is, can you feed your Pokémon that well?

That’s obviously… impossible.

Yes, even setting aside the issue of berries, the production of energy cubes alone is a big problem.

Unless Anchor can make the recipe for energy cubes public, there’s no way we can make them.

Lol! Why are you so audacious?

Isn’t this another banana man?

Indeed, besides banana men and some foreigners, I really can’t think of anyone who could say something so shameless.
