"I can do it." Sabrina withdrew her hand after just a slight touch on Ralts.
"Now... I can make it evolve now." As Sabrina spoke, Terrance wasn't sure how to feel, but Ralts calmed down. Though unable to feel the other's emotions, Ralts could understand the words spoken by her.
To allow oneself to evolve... This is what Ralts has always prayed for. Now, this woman claims to be able to make it happen. Even if she is a bad person, Ralts didn't resist; instead, it turned its head, eagerly looking at Sabrina.
"Really..." Sensing Sabrina's confidence, Terrance was overjoyed.
"Please..."
Obtaining Sabrina's affirmation, Terrance quickly hoped to apply for the battle, so that he can win and let Ralts evolve. However, before he could finish speaking, a white light instantly entered his line of sight.
"This is—" Before the challenge could be mentioned, Terrance was astonished by the scene before him. Terrance rubbed his eyes vigorously; if he wasn't mistaken, this... should be the light of evolution.
Ralts had evolved.
Sabrina didn't bother with a battle; after seeing Ralts, she immediately used her psychic power on it!
What's going on?
Terrance stared wide-eyed in amazement; this was different from the agreed-upon script.
Wasn't he supposed to work hard to obtain information that could make Ralts evolve, then challenge Kiyo, obtain the Dusk Stone, make Misdreavus evolve, defeat Sabrina, and go through a series of complex storylines, sweating to earn the final lucrative reward?
But suddenly outside of Terrance' expectations, Sabrina immediately made Ralts evolve.
A strange psychic radiance enveloped the beautiful but cold girl. Along with the psychic light, Sabrina's hair seemed to be caressed by the wind, releasing a subtle and fragrant scent into the air.
"I am curious about it," Sabrina muttered softly, and although her voice sounded quite close, it didn't sound like it came from her mouth. In fact, Terrence didn't even see Sabrina open her mouth.
Telepathy?
Terrance couldn't help but smile wryly in his mind. What kind of joke was this? Just one word 'curiosity', and Ralts successfully evolved. Mr. Sam tricked him.
Those teachers and professors will cry too.
However….Ralts could evolve, and that was enough to resolve Terrance's worries. He no longer dwelled on the process. Unlike the previous evolution with Mr. Sam, this time, the light of evolution was ample and saturated.
As the white light dissipated, Kirlia's white figure appeared before Terrance. Compared to the "little girl" appearance of Ralts, Kirlia could now be called a "young girl."
Especially with a body that seemed to be wearing a ballet skirt and those slender legs, Kirlia's appearance had progressed further towards a human look.
Kirlia's hair, unlike Ralts', didn't completely cover its eyes but had bangs that resembled shoulder-length hair. The two red horns also changed positions, now on both sides of the head, resembling hairpins and giving off a lively girl's vibe.
However, after getting the initial impression from Kirlia's appearance, Terrance suddenly froze, realizing something was wrong.
This Kirlia was a boy! ! ! ! ! ! !
"Kirliiia!!"
After completing its evolution, Ralts eagerly stretched its arms as if embracing the world. It then gracefully twirled around and joyfully cried out.
Seeing Kirlia's growth, Terrance also became excited. This was a scientific advancement. Those researchers would surely go crazy. The affliction they had been painstakingly researching could indeed be solved by the external force called "psychic power."
Perhaps, with this, they might start to research and become obsessed with "psychic power users among humans,"...
However, first and foremost, they need to have that capability.
"Thank you." Regardless, Sabrina had been a great help, and Terrance sincerely thanked her. Despite receiving Terrance's thanks, Sabrina's expression remained cold and unchanged, leaving Terrance feeling awkward for a moment before he uttered another sentence.
"It's not over yet—"
Terrance was initially puzzled, then his eyes widened as he took a sharp breath, finding it somewhat hard to believe...
He swore he hadn't mistaken it; Sabrina had started a new round of "catalysis," and Kirlia began to evolve again!!
At this moment, Terrance's mind was in turmoil. This scene was breaking his worldview. Continuous evolution of Pokémon was already an extremely rare occurrence. Even if evolution occurs rapidly in a short period, it needs to be influenced by various factors.
Continuous evolution within the same timeframe, though not unheard of, was still a sight ordinary people rarely witnessed.
It's important to note that evolution relies on a Pokémon's accumulation of experience and foundation. It's a process where they use this accumulation to break through the limitations and constraints of their species, striving for a higher level of life.
Without accumulation, purely attempting to break through the barriers between species is too difficult for ordinary Pokémon. Take, for example, the most common Caterpie in Kanto. Although their evolution speed is often criticized, it is a result of them sacrificing certain things.
Caterpie, numerous and quick to reproduce, once became the bottom of the food chain due to their weak strength. At least more than half of them became food for bird Pokémon. Faced with predators, some Caterpie could only accelerate their evolution through the "burning of life," turning into Butterfree in a very short time, gaining the ability to defend against external enemies.
However, the consequence of doing so was a rapid decrease in lifespan. Originally, Bug Pokémon didn't have a long lifespan, and by reducing their lifespan to accelerate evolution, the remaining time was only enough to spend a short period.
If a Butterfree evolved in this way and started "mating," its lifespan would further decrease...
This was the tragedy of a few Bug-type Pokémon. They didn't have the long life and strength of Dragon-type Pokémon and could only survive in their own way. So, most Bug-type Pokémon were even willing to accept human care because it allowed them to have a comfortable growth environment and a longer lifespan.
That's why there are so many Bug Catchers.
Terrance was well aware of this, so he took great care of Beautifly, ensuring it wouldn't leave him too soon. He didn't spare any expense on expensive nutritional supplements for Beautifly.
Compared to the Wurmple struggling for survival in the wild, Beautifly's experience was undeniably fortunate.
However...this is ultimately the growth method of Bug-type Pokémon, but Ralts is puzzling Terrence.
From the growth method and status of Bug-type Pokémon, one can see how important and difficult evolution is. But...
"Sabrina's psychic power can actually reach this level, enabling a Psychic-type Pokémon to evolve continuously!"
Terrance couldn't believe it; this ability was simply cheating.
If Sabrina were to raise Psychic-type Pokémon, she could save 90%, or even 99% of the effort compared to an ordinary Trainer. She and Psychic-type Pokémon were inherently compatible. If her psychic power could also enhance a Pokémon's strength, it would be too terrifying.
"How can such a person exist..." Terrance shook his head vigorously, feeling a slight envy but he didn't try to think too much about it.
He firmly believed that he could catch up through his own efforts.
