The days after Yang Xiaolin's visit passed peacefully. Yang Chen resumed his routine on the farm, enjoying the peace he had built. However, he began training his Pokémon more seriously, realizing that threats like Team Galaxy might demand extraordinary strength in the future.
That morning, Yang Chen decided to hold a special training session. He called his Pokémon one by one: Gyarados, Gallade, Lucario, Charizard, Gengar, and Dragonite. The first five Pokémon began their training session in Mega Evolution form. Dragonite, although it did not have Mega Evolution, still displayed strength comparable to the other Pokémon.
The training was intense, with Yang Chen pushing them to their limits. The simulation battles involved various scenarios, from fighting a single powerful enemy to facing large groups simultaneously. Yang Chen, with his Kryptonian strength, often becomes their "enemy," ensuring that each of their attacks is maximized.
When the training session ended, his Pokémon usually returned to their normal state. However, this time, something strange happened—the five Pokémon that used Mega Evolution remained in their Mega form.
Yang Chen observed his Pokémon closely. Charizard X still emanated blue flames from its tail, Gyarados looked bigger and more muscular, Gallade stood with a sharp shield on its arm, Lucario radiated a stronger aura, and Gengar still displayed its characteristic, more menacing smile in its Mega form.
Yang Chen remembered something from his original world, from the Pokémon anime he used to watch in the past. Mega Evolution at that time was described as a natural condition of Pokémon in ancient times when energy in the atmosphere was much more abundant. However, over time, this energy dwindled, and Pokémon were no longer able to maintain their Mega forms permanently. They needed external energy assistance, such as Mega Stones and Key Stones, to achieve that condition.
However, now, without using a Mega Stone, their Pokémon remain in a state of Mega Evolution. Yang Chen began to realize something.
Yang Chen approached his Pokémon one by one. He could sense their aura, which was much more stable than usual. Their Mega condition is no longer aided by the Mega Stone, but rather something permanent.
Yang Chen smiled faintly, "So, you all have finally reached your true condition, huh?"
His Pokémon nodded as if they understood what he was saying. Yang Chen was not surprised. He knew that his life in Tianchi, with its environment rich in natural energy, had a positive effect on the development of his Pokémon. This energy might have helped them achieve permanent mega-evolution.
Yang Chen said, "You all have surpassed the limits that once existed. It's no longer about levels, but about becoming the best version of yourselves."
Yang Chen looked at Dragonite, the only Pokémon on his team that did not have a Mega Evolution. However, Dragonite seemed no less powerful compared to his teammates. Even without Mega Evolution, Dragonite has become an incredibly extraordinary Pokémon. Its level, which is undetectable by a regular Pokédex, is proof of its true power.
Yang Chen said, "Dragonite, you may not have Mega Evolution, but I know you are the core of this team. Without you, this team would not be balanced."
Dragonite approached and lowered its head, showing respect to Yang Chen.
That day, Yang Chen realized that his team had surpassed the limits usually possessed by other Pokémon. With permanent Mega Evolution, they are not only strong but also possess incredible stability and resilience. However, behind all that, Yang Chen continues to maintain his simple life on the farm. For him, strength is not something to be flaunted, but rather preserved and used only when truly necessary.
That afternoon, he called Reba and Xiaoyi to enjoy tea together. While the outside world faces chaos and threats from Team Galaxy, the Tianchi farm remains a peaceful place where Yang Chen and his family live their lives in tranquility.
