Fang Yuan had never expected that a single world tournament would see two of his main Pokemon reach the top tier domain in succession.
Looking at the situation, Monferno will be almost fully recovered soon and, in its normal state, should not be too far off.
In that case, doesn't that mean he now has four top-level combat powers?
A two-star professional trainer can handle it with ease!
Only two steps away from becoming a true top trainer, just waiting for Milotic and Dragonite to break through as well.
On the other hand, Glutton was still basking in the joy of its recent breakthrough.
"Guhuhu!!"
Having reached the top tier domain, it immediately sensed a new understanding of power within itself.
Although Mega Evolution had granted it an unprecedentedly strong power, enabling it to possess the White Flame that even Sun Eevee envied, and the spatial mastery to traverse dimensions at will,
its use of that power had always been crude.
It wasn't that it couldn't master the power, but it felt like the power wasn't really its own to command, making the use of it immensely draining.
However, this time, as Glutton personally experienced controlling top-tier energy without relying on Mega Evolution power, it felt that if it were to Mega Evolve now, it would be absolutely different from before.
In other words, with its current state, it could better control and master the life form after Mega Evolution.
............
After Master Tao Xiuying left, Fang Yuan, delighted, immediately started with Rotom to check and analyze Glutton's current strength data.
After sending Eevee, the one with the sharpest perception, to stand guard, Fang Yuan and the others immediately proceeded with Mega Evolution.
Moreover, Fang Yuan directly used the Power of the Heart to enhance it.
"Aura, reside in my heart, Gengar, MEGA evolve!!"
"Hehehehehe~" As Fang Yuan finished speaking, White Flame soared to the heavens.
In the light of Mega Evolution and amidst White Flame, Glutton felt its own powerful energy, slightly lifted its arm with immense pride within, responding to the power of the Key Stone worn by Fang Yuan, and reached out to touch the surging Aura Force.
Boom!!!
An enormous vitality erupted, and in an instant, Super Gengar's white flames swept up once again, turning the Shadow Realm akin to the World of Darkness into a world of white. The terrifying white heat waves were extremely powerful, causing the curious substitute Eevee left behind to retreat sharply with their sheer force.
Such formidable power... it's definitely beyond the Sun Fire of that Volcarona.
Meanwhile, Monferno, who appeared indifferent, also showed a slight change in expression.
Gengar's flame power has increased... But that's not the main point; the main point is, Glutton's current expression seems very relaxed.
It's as if Mega Evolution has become as normal as its usual state.
"Huh—" Looking at the Super Gengar, half of its body hidden in a different dimension, half exposed, Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Perfect."
He covered his forehead, laughing in an over-the-top manner, regardless of Glutton's bewildered eyes, Fang Yuan said, "This should be called perfect Mega Evolution, right?"
In the XY anime, Trainer Ailan, his MEGA Blastoise, managed to fight consecutively against ten trainers who mastered Mega Evolution, including the Kalos Region Fire Type Four Heavenly Kings' Paqila, and win.
Conducting a continuous 1VS10, and even in the highly exhaustive state of Mega Evolution... and in the end, facing one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Ailan's Super Charizard was not only extremely powerful, but its physical strength also definitely broke through limits, mastering Mega Evolution perfectly.
As the protagonist of the Mega Evolution specials, Ailan's Mega Evolution indeed had its notable points. Now, in Fang Yuan's judgment, Super Gengar had almost reached the level of that Super Charizard, able to maintain the Mega Evolution state for even longer and use it for more intense battles than before.
Continuous battles should no longer pose a problem.
Without a doubt, Super Gengar had already acquired the strength of the top third-stage power.
In the top third stage domain, a Pokemon's physical strength breaks through its limits, as reflected in the recovery speed of physical strength and injuries, and the total amount of energy within the body. And Glutton might not just be a simple top-tier third-stager.
Because the top domain fourth stage is a magical phase where the strength disparity among different Pokemon is huge. Some trainers believe that only when a Pokemon reaches this stage does it truly possess top-level combat power.
As the degree of energy control, coordination ability, and the requirements for physical quality are merely the basics.
The top fourth stage is where true entry begins, the point at which Pokemon start to truly understand themselves.
The hallmark of this stage requires Pokemon to continue tapping into their potential on the basis of the first three stages, traing various qualities to reach the limits of their species.
The top domain fourth stage equates to the species limit of a Pokemon, and depending on the species, lower-tier species may encounter a bottleneck at a certain level of combat power, unable to break through, while higher-tier species grow more smoothly with higher ceilings. The stronger the species of the Pokemon, the greater their final combat power will be reflected.
That's why the difference in power of Pokemon undergoing the process from the top tier level three to top tier level four stages is huge.
The Monferno in Thunder Flame Mode at the fourth gate has already touched the species limit; however, this explosive method is overloading, violent, and causes great harm to itself.
In comparison, the Fire God State of Volcarona, the Soul Heart State of Magnemite, and the Heart Power Mega Evolution state of Super Gengar are all very close to their species limit in power, though slightly weaker than the top-tier four stage power, they are favorable for their gentleness.
In various special states, their potential is nearly fully excavated, just one step away from reaching their peak combat power.
"Glutton, I'll find another opportunity. How about you go into battle tomorrow? The Champion of Japan and that Jianxin might be good sparring partners," Fang Yuan said.
"Gwoo..." Glutton was slightly startled, gave it some serious thought, and then carefully shook its head.
"Gwoo gwoo!!" Glutton asked if it could change its first battle opponent, as it didn't want to fight those two.
Rotom had already shown Fang Yuan's Pokemon the battle videos from Japan, so Glutton was aware of the general strength of the Japanese players, and it expressed disdain.
Too weak, they wouldn't be able to showcase its power. It desired a much stronger opponent.
"This..." Fang Yuan noticed that Super Gengar suddenly turned its gaze towards Monferno, showing a look of expectation.
Monferno's expression remained neutral, probably understanding Glutton's thoughts.
"Jiejie jie~~~" Then, Glutton turned to Fang Yuan and suggested that since the United States team hadn't been eliminated yet, it wanted to battle Gura's Volcarona!!
During the previous team battle, it watched Monferno and Volcarona fiercely fight while it could only restrain two minor characters. Glutton felt extremely frustrated. It could clearly sense the power of the Fire God State Volcarona during that time, which, even in its Mega-Evolved state, was no match for it.
But now things were different. It had mastered the perfect Mega Evolution, it also wanted to beat Gura and then violently crush the competition in the finals. Wouldn't that be delightful?
"Beat them!!!!" Fang Yuan emphasized, agreeing that defeating Gura again in a one-on-one fight with no injuries would truly demonstrate the power of Mega Evolution.
Hopefully, Gura wouldn't be eliminated beforehand.
Hopefully, the United States team was okay.
"But how can we encounter a fully-powered Gura?" Fang Yuan wondered worriedly.
Super Gengar also fell into deep thought.
"Bwoo... Bwoo!" Watching the scheming between the trainer and Pokemon, Substitute Eevee shook its head. You all might as well stop pretending to be human and Pokemon. Pay some respect to the Japanese players, okay? Although stepping on Gura might feel better, you should spread the love evenly!!!
"Wooah!!" Monferno also expressed that indeed, Volcarona felt better to fight against.
As for Dragonite, Milotic, and Venusaur, what opinions could they have? They had already learned a lesson and went for special training.
Although they had no idea what was happening, they knew there was a double experience BUFF and increased chance for breakthroughs - not taking the time to train now would be a waste of life.
