Elf: Start by intercepting the champion Croaking Bubble Frog

"Chopping Axe Mantis, use Rock Axe!"

"Charizard, rock collapse attack!"

Both sides are 2x weak to rock attributes, so this round of confrontation is a pure exchange of attacks.

Axe Mantis raised a huge rock axe and chopped towards Charizard. Charizard summoned a huge rock on the spot and smashed it at the Crawling Mantis, then flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

Rock Slide is not a contact move, and unlike Rock Axe, it does not require the Pokémon to be controlled.

The Axe-Splitting Mantis holding a rock axe was also fixed in a relative range.

"Chopping Axe Mantis, smash it!" Guan Zuo shouted at the top of his lungs. Charizard dodged so quickly! In this way, the attack exchange was invalid; .

The Axe Mantis tried its best to change the angle of attack and chopped the huge rock with the Rock Axe in its hand.

With a loud bang, the rocks shattered, but the Axe Mantis was unable to completely avoid the attack, and the rubble still hit it.

"Now, use the flaming fist!"

When the opportunity came, Chu Xinyue would not let it go. She swooped down from the air with a Charizard, and while the Axe Mantis was hit by the gravel and lost its balance, she smashed the opponent's back with her fist with blue flames.

Knocked him to the ground with one punch!

"Roar!" Charizard roared and retreated in front of Chu Xinyue. Looking at Axe Mantis again, it had completely fainted.

In the third game, Charizard fought against Axe Mantis, and Charizard won.

After knocking down the three mantises, Chu Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

Since the start of the fight, Charizard hasn't received many attacks, only being hit by falling rocks at the beginning and a close combat in the middle. But it can still withstand it, and its Mega evolution can still be maintained, retaining a certain combat effectiveness.

Guanzo retracted his Axe Mantis and quickly sent out his fourth Pokémon, Elektrobot.

After two rounds of fighting, and after enduring a hundred thousand volts and lightning attacks, Charizard returned to its original form and fell to the ground.

However, the electric spider was also hit by a jet of flame and a flash charge, especially the last flash charge, which seriously injured the electric spider.

The first appearance of Mega Evolution achieved an extremely dazzling result, and the audience applauded.

Everyone also knows that this evolution, like Greninja, is only temporary and cannot be maintained for a long time or permanently.

But this is enough. Who doesn’t want this kind of power?

A brand new evolution!

The game continued, and Chu Xinyue sent out Cursed Doll, Kairos, and Nian Meir in turn. On the premise of only allowing Cursed Doll to use Mega Evolution, she won the final victory without any danger and advanced to the top 8.

After the game, Chu Yuntian and Chu Xinyue were stopped by a large number of reporters.

In desperation, Chu Yuntian had to discuss with the event organizers to hold a press conference.

At the press conference, reporters from various news media were all eagerly waiting, with all kinds of equipment available.

Chu Yuntian and Chu Xinyue walked into the room under the guidance of the staff. Suddenly, there was a burst of clicking sounds of filming in the room. There were constant flashes in the room, and it was very lively.

The two of them sat down, Chu Yuntian raised his hand, and the scene immediately fell silent.

"Well, let's get straight to the point. I'll call on you and you can ask questions. Do you have any comments?"

Chu Yuntian spoke directly to the reporters, bypassing the official press officer.

The press officer stood aside with no reaction, but the reporters below became noisy.

Chu Yuntian's words were undoubtedly very direct, and a bit condescending, which made them feel somewhat resistant.

"Let's go with this one, a friend from the Pokémon House." Chu Yuntian pointed to a reporter sitting in the front row.

Pokémon House is the most influential Pokémon-related media in China.

The reporter who was called was very excited. He didn't expect that he would be the one to ask the first question.

He turned his head and looked at other colleagues. Although they were somewhat dissatisfied with Chu Yuntian's attitude, they were all looking at him with envy at this moment.

The man stood up proudly and asked, "Excuse me, contestant Chu Yuntian, you and Miss Chu made Greninja, Charizard, and Cursed Doll undergo new evolutions in the previous game. Can you tell me what the difference is?"

Nice question!

All his colleagues secretly praised him in their hearts, saying that he was worthy of being a reporter from the Pokémon House.

This question not only directly points out the new evolution, but also hits the difference between the two evolutions. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the evolutions of Greninja, Charizard, and Cursed Doll are completely different. The former evolves directly out of thin air, while the latter uses unknown props.

Chu Yuntian adjusted the microphone and said, "I believe everyone here has discovered the difference between the evolution of Greninja and Charizard, so I won't go into details."

"First of all, I call Greninja's evolution a bond evolution. It can only happen when the feelings and trust between the trainer and Pokémon reach a certain level. Compared with the evolution of Charizard and Curse Doll, this is more metaphysical."

After casually talking for a few words, Chu Yuntian began to talk about Mega evolution.

"I call Charizard's evolution Mega Evolution, which requires the use of corresponding Evolution Stones and Key Stones, and also requires sufficient trust between Pokémon and trainers to achieve it."

As Chu Yuntian was speaking, the reporters in the audience were writing furiously and taking notes.

"Could you please tell me more about Evolution Stones and Key Stones? I believe many people are interested in this." The reporter from Pokémon House asked.

"Regarding this, the Chu family will hold a press conference in the near future. We will know everything then. Next one."

Chu Yuntian pointed to another reporter.

"I'd like to ask Miss Chu Xinyue, are there any differences between the props used for the evolution of Flame-Breaking Sky and Cursed Doll?" The reporter who had just been called stood up and asked.

When everyone heard this, they immediately booed. What a poor question. Chu Yuntian had already mentioned the Evolution Stone and Key Stone in advance, and also said later that the Chu family would hold a special press conference in the near future. Asking this now is a waste of time and opportunity.

His colleagues secretly laughed at his poor level, but they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Chu Xinyue smiled on the stage. This question was easy to answer. "Every Pokémon that can Mega Evolve needs its own unique Evolution Stone and Key Stone."

After saying that, Chu Yuntian then called another reporter.

"If I heard correctly, Ms. Chu just used the word 'can'. Does this mean that there are not many Pokémon like Charizard and Curse Doll that can evolve again?"

This person grasped the key point right from the start, and all the reporters prepared their pens.
