Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

After parting ways with Ji Meiya, An Jie rode home on a Swellow that had been transformed by Ditto.

Emerging from the space-time tunnel, An Jie walked onto the third-floor balcony, when suddenly, the scene before him stunned him.

Just outside the fence, in an open space, two Pokémon were engaged in a fierce battle.

An Jie's Pokémon spar with each other every day, so this was not usually a surprising event.

However, the two Pokémon battling at this moment were quite extraordinary: one was covered in silver armor, with sharp claws and fangs, its body as robust as a prehistoric behemoth; the other was covered in soft, pure white feathers, its long tail feathers swaying in the wind like ribbons.

The armored one was a Mega Aggron.

The one with white feathers was a Mega Altaria.

An Jie was very puzzled. He had never obtained the Mega Stones for Aggron and Altaria! How could the Aggron and Altaria at home both Mega Evolve?

As for why An Jie could recognize that the Mega Evolved Pokémon were his own, it was naturally because of his Aura!

Although Aggron and Altaria had Mega Evolved, their Aura would not change.

Filled with doubt, An Jie carried Ditto and quickly ran towards the outside of the fence.

When An Jie arrived, he found that everyone was gathered around, watching the battle between Altaria and Aggron, occasionally cheering them on.

Strangely, Metagross, who usually hid in the laboratory, had also come out today, and was intently watching the battle in the arena.

"Metagross, what's going on?" An Jie nudged Metagross.

Metagross hadn't even noticed An Jie at first, and only came back to its senses after being nudged, but its gaze remained fixed on the battlefield.

"Meta~ Meta~" Let me finish watching the battle before I tell you.

Helpless, An Jie had no choice but to watch along with everyone else.

"Aggron!!!!" Mega Aggron roared, and the ground immediately began to crack inch by inch, with pillars of rock rising from the ground, transforming into spears that shot towards the Mega Altaria in the sky.

"Chi~" Mega Altaria naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for death. With a flap of its wings, it nimbly turned in the air, dodging Aggron's attack, and then opened its mouth to spew a pillar of fire towards Aggron.

Before Mega Evolution, Aggron was a Steel/Rock-type Pokémon, weak to Water, Fighting, and Ground.

But after Mega Evolution, it became a pure Steel-type Pokémon, and its weakness to Water became a weakness to Fire.

Although it lost the Rock type, Aggron's resistances were relatively improved, but losing the Rock-type STAB also made its coverage much worse.

In the games, Aggron's Mega Evolution can be considered a slightly negative upgrade.

But in reality, Mega Evolution affects all aspects, whether it's the increase in its own stats or its control and mastery of energy, it's on a completely different level than before.

Therefore, even though Mega Aggron gained three more weaknesses, its strength was still greatly improved.

Therefore, Aggron became super effective against Altaria in terms of type matchups.

Altaria was startled by Aggron's sudden action and subconsciously used Cotton Guard.

Its feathers rapidly expanded, instantly enveloping its entire body. When Aggron crashed into it, it was as if it were crashing into cotton, and it was actually bounced back.

Cotton Guard is a skill that can greatly increase the user's Defense, increasing it by a full 3 stages in one use, making it very powerful.

But relatively, very few Pokémon species can learn this skill. Currently, the known ones are Mareep, Flaaffy, Ampharos, Swablu, Altaria, Cottonee, Whimsicott, Cacnea, Delcatty, Swirlix, Slurpuff, Gossifleur, Wooloo and Dubwool.

(Additionally: Hoppip and Bouffalant can learn it through breeding.)

Most of these Pokémon have soft bodies or fluffy fur, which allows them to maximize the defensive capabilities of Cotton Guard.

After Mega Evolution, Altaria's feathers became even more numerous and softer, making the defense it formed even stronger.

Aggron was bounced back and crashed heavily to the ground, creating a large pit.

"Chi~" Altaria pressed its advantage, opening its mouth to spit out a flame, instantly engulfing Aggron.

When the flames dissipated, Aggron's body was scorched black.

After quickly getting up from the ground, Aggron's eyes darted around.

At this time, Altaria's Flamethrower came again.

Aggron raised its Iron Tail to scatter the flames, while also clearly understanding that with Altaria's defense and flight advantage, it would not be able to defeat it without using its brain.

Suddenly, it seemed to remember something, and an idea struck it. It opened its mouth and spat out an Icy Wind towards Altaria.

Blue ice crystals immediately fluttered down towards Altaria.

"Chi~ Chi~" Altaria laughed loudly at Aggron upon seeing this, wondering what effect this attack could have?

Indeed, it was weak to Ice, but Icy Wind had limited power, and it was a Special Attack skill that Aggron was not good at. Aggron could barely deal any damage with it.

It was barely scratching the surface!

"Chi~ Chi~~" Altaria felt that its victory was assured, flapping its wings and flying quickly in the air, constantly attacking Aggron with Flamethrower.

Although each time the flames would be scattered by Aggron's Iron Tail, the Fire-weak Aggron would not be able to hold on for long, and its tail would be burned little by little.

However, no matter how much Altaria laughed, Aggron continued to defend against Altaria's attacks while spraying Icy Wind towards Altaria.

It had to be said, the fluttering ice crystals looked quite pretty, especially at the moment they melted in the flames, like a dream.

But as time passed, Altaria began to realize that something was wrong.

Why was its body getting heavier and heavier? And its originally fluffy feathers were now sticking together. It felt incredibly laborious every time it flapped its wings.

Looking at Altaria, who was flying with increasing difficulty, An Jie said with a smile, "Aggron is quite smart."

It turned out that Aggron used Icy Wind not to attack Altaria, but to use Altaria's Flamethrower to create water vapor.

As the ice crystals melted, the water vapor in the air became heavier and heavier, and Altaria's feathers were very easy to absorb water. Once it absorbed enough water, it would naturally feel its body getting heavier and heavier.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Aggron launched Heavy Slam again, crashing heavily into Altaria.

Altaria didn't care and was about to use Cotton Guard, but was surprised to find that Cotton Guard couldn't be used.

It turned out that its feathers were too wet and heavy to expand like cotton, let alone provide defense.

Just as Aggron was about to hit Altaria, its body suddenly floated in the air.

"Metang~ Metang~~" The victory has been decided, let's stop here!

It turned out that Metagross had taken action, using its psychic power to stop Aggron.

With its feathers wet, Altaria had difficulty flying and could no longer win against Aggron.

After Aggron returned to the ground, it grunted in dissatisfaction.

It had been hit by Altaria so many times and was finally about to win, but it had to stop, it's not fair!

The battle ended, and both Pokémon simultaneously exited their Mega Evolved states.

Vileplume and Bellossom hurriedly stepped forward to heal them with Grassy Terrain, while Solrock floated above Altaria's head, releasing a warm light to dry its feathers.

Angie said to Metagross, "Now can you tell me what's going on?"

"Metang~ Metang~" That's the result of my research during this time!

Metagross said excitedly.

"Research results?" Angie looked surprised.

Metagross nodded and explained, "Have you forgotten the Sundial Shard and Keystone Shard you gave me?"

It turned out that after research, Metagross discovered that when the Sundial Shard and Keystone Shard were combined, they would release a special wave.

This wave is very similar to the wave released by Mega Stones.

No, it should be said that they are the same.

However, the waves released by different Mega Stones are singular, but the waves released by the Keystone Shard and Sundial Shard can match the waves released by any Mega Stone.

Former Minister of Defense Jarvis once researched a method to allow Pokémon to Mega Evolve without the help of a Key Stone and Mega Stone, but his research had great flaws, which would bring great pain to the Mega Evolved Pokémon, and could not fully utilize the advantages of Mega Evolution.

Inspired by Jarvis's research, Metagross changed its thinking and finally researched a method that allows Pokémon to Mega Evolve without pain.

The waves released by the Keystone Shard and Sundial Shard are difficult for Pokémon to receive and utilize, so Metagross used the Key Stone it obtained from Angie as a wave amplifier and created a wave receiver.

As long as the Pokémon wears the wave receiver and then absorbs the waves released by the Keystone Shard and Sundial Shard, it can autonomously complete Mega Evolution.

Of course, this method of Mega Evolution is not without its drawbacks. Once the Pokémon leaves the range covered by the waves, the wave receiver will fail, and the Pokémon will naturally not be able to Mega Evolve.

The range that the waves released by the Keystone Shard and Sundial Shard can cover is only Nibel Plateau, and this is the result after being amplified by the Key Stone.

Angie suddenly understood after listening, "Metagross, you are amazing!"

He walked to Aggron and Altaria, and sure enough, he saw a button-like device on them.

It is the wave receiver.

The small silver button, only the size of a fingernail, is respectively attached to Aggron's armor and Altaria's feathers.

Angie turned around and said to Metagross, "Let's go, let's go see your wave device."

"Metang~" Metagross nodded and took the lead towards the underground laboratory, with Angie following closely behind.

When they arrived at the underground laboratory, Angie saw the huge device in the center at a glance. A glass ball floated in the center of the device.

A jade bracelet-like object floated in the glass ball, but it was clearly pieced together from two semi-circular parts, because the two parts were respectively polished from the Keystone Shard and Sundial Shard.

The Sundial Shard is darker in color, and the Keystone Shard is brighter in color.

The Key Stone that Angie gave to Metagross floated in the center of the jade bracelet.

The jade bracelet and the Key Stone were lifted by the special magnetic field released by the wave device and floated in the glass ball.

Angie could clearly feel a special energy field spreading around from the glass ball.

This energy field should be the wave that Metagross said.

"It's amazing!" Angie couldn't help but sigh.

Although this device has a small flaw and can only be used on Nibel Plateau, it is enough.

Angie suddenly thought that he was planning to build a gym, if the people who come here to challenge the gym find that the Pokémon they are challenging can Mega Evolve, it would be very interesting.

Jie jie jie~~~

Thinking of this, Angie couldn't help but laugh.

"Metang~ Metang~" Seeing Angie's wicked smile, Metagross asked Angie what was wrong with doubt.

Angie waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's nothing, I thought of something interesting."

Then he asked, "Are there any more wave receivers? Is it difficult to manufacture that thing?"

"Metang~ Metang~" It's not difficult, it's not difficult, it doesn't take much effort to manufacture that thing.

Saying that, Metagross took a box, and saw that it was full of a whole box of wave receivers.

Angie said in surprise, "So many?"

Metagross said: "Metang~ Metang~" I made a few more for backup.

Angie took the box and said, "Let's go, let's try it with other Pokémon too!"

"Metang~" Metagross nodded and walked out with Angie.

When they got outside, Angie summoned all the Pokémon at home that could Mega Evolve.

Gardevoir, Gallade, Lucario, Salamence, and Beedrill.

Several Pokémon stood in a row, and Angie distributed the wave devices in his hand to them one by one.

"Everyone, let's all try the feeling of Mega Evolution."

Several Pokémon pinched the wave receiver with excited expressions. They have never Mega Evolved before, so they are very much looking forward to it.

After they each put on the device, Angie asked, "Is everyone ready?"

"Gardevoir~" Ready!

"Gallade~" Ready!

"Beedrill~" Ready!

......

Several Pokémon nodded together.

Angie said, "Then let's start!"

The Pokémon heard the words and put their hands on the device one after another, and saw colorful rays of light erupting from their bodies. In the light, their bodies changed rapidly.

Soon, Gardevoir and Gallade took the lead in completing Mega Evolution, the Mega Gardevoir and its Mega Gallade debuted.

Then came Salamence, its pair of blood wings were flaunting its power, full of oppression.

Then came Lucario, its elegant hair fluttering in the wind, so handsome that it was amazing.

Finally, there was Beedrill, it flapped its wings and flickered in the air, and afterimages appeared and disappeared, so cool!
