So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 238 Walking the Dog Without a Leash

Wei Xin readily accepted Korne's invitation to fight, considering it as helping Gardevoir adapt to her body.

The four of them found a battlefield in a park. Hearing that there was a battle, the elderly people taking a walk in the park and the young people doing their morning exercise also came over.

There's no other reason than that I'm just bored and like to join in the fun.

The referee was Papa, and Wanlong was responsible for the commentary.

At this moment, Korne changed back into her helmet, short-sleeved dress, and safety shorts—a classic gliding outfit that was both cute and capable. It just made one worry that her helmet might get caught in her hair.

"The battle mode is one-on-one. First, let's welcome our first contestant, Korrina, the heir to the Fighting-type Gym in the Kalos region. She's a vibrant blonde beauty, and her partner is Lucario," Wanlong introduced.

"Here we go, Lucario!" Korrina threw out a Poké Ball, and Lucario roared as it stood on the field, its fists exploding together, sparks flying, full of confidence.

Having recovered to his peak condition, he felt invincible.

"Her opponent is Wei Xin, a student from Magic University who debuted two months ago, and her partner is Gardevoir, which just evolved yesterday."

Why is my introduction so brief? — Wei Xin tossed out a valuable ball: "It's time for us to enter the fray, Gardevoir."

"Gardevoir!" Gardevoir landed gracefully on the field, one hand behind its back and the other palm facing the sky, smiling confidently.

The appearance of the super-sized Shiny Gardevoir shocked many people, but they were more concerned about the battle than Gardevoir's beauty, and the onlookers were discussing it.

"Gardedoll is at a disadvantage in this battle."

Why?

"Gardedoll versus Lucario: Gardevoir's signature moves are not very effective against Lucario, but Lucario's Steel-type moves are extremely effective against Gardevoir. Moreover, Gardevoir has just evolved and its trainer is also a newcomer, so in terms of teamwork, it is definitely not as good as the Gym Leader's successor."

Before long, the discussion gradually subsided, and everyone concluded that the outcome of this battle would not be unexpected.

Koerni held up one finger to Wei Xin: "Let's make a deal before the battle begins."

"What agreement?" Wei Xin asked without hesitation.

"If I win, you have to be my boyfriend."

"?" Wei Xin stared blankly at Korrina and Lucario, recalling that Korrina seemed to have this idea in the cave, and the scene in front of him gave him a strong sense of déjà vu.

Everyone immediately became excited, and some even took out their phones to live stream and film. This was a battle that was a matter of life and death, and they had no choice but to win—but why did it feel like losing wouldn't be so bad?

Oh, it's not my turn, then it's fine.

"Sorry, that's not possible!" Wei Xin's lips curled up. Don't underestimate the bond between me and Gardevoir, Korini.

A sigh escaped from the crowd. Was the young girl giving you a way out—or perhaps she simply wanted to beat you to your knees and take you home as a hardworking slave? In any case, buddy, you're hopeless.

"In that case, I have a suggestion," Wanlong suddenly said, "Since you two are both wearing bracelets, why don't you just use Mega Evolution to battle?"

Wei Xin glanced at his bracelet, exchanged a look with Gardevoir, and nodded in tacit agreement. He then twisted the bracelet, from Z...

Switch to Mega Evolution and raise it high above its head.

In an instant, the bracelet emitted an incomparably dazzling white light, drawing upon the hidden power within Gardevoir. Countless brilliant ribbons of light merged in the sky and entered each other's bodies.

"Gardedor, Mega Evolve!"

"Oh~" With a loud voice, Gardevoir's horn-like organ split in two, like a singer on a stage, wearing a huge gown woven from the night, and singing loudly.

Mega Gardevoir makes its dazzling debut.

Everyone stared, mouths agape, forgetting to breathe. The beautiful woman before them seemed to possess a captivating magic, drawing their gaze in and holding them firmly against their will.

"Huh? You're kidding me," Korrina exclaimed, not because of Mega Gardevoir's appearance—the world's strongest Gardevoir belonged to their Kalos—"Mega Evolution in its first battle after evolving? And it succeeded? But without rigorous training—"

She recalled the first time she Mega Evolved Lucario, how he was like a mad beast, driven by instinct, a terrifying sight.

The next second, Wei Xin and Gardevoir's bodies suddenly stiffened. The intense feeling of being pulled away almost dragged his soul out. Mega Evolution enhanced Gardevoir's abilities, but she could not control this power.

Her superpowers, amplified to the extreme, allowed her telepathy to fully blossom, enabling her to sense the emotions around her—no, the entire city. There was the positivity and optimism of a new day, as well as the intense resentment of students and office workers. These negative emotions constantly infected and eroded her rationality, pushing her to the brink of emotional collapse. She screamed, her pupils trembling.

"Oh no, Gardevoir is going berserk! Stop them!" Korni and the other woman cried out, pleading with Wanlong for help.

The onlookers saw Gardevoir about to go berserk, its power surging and erupting. Fear and coldness climbed up its spine, and the resulting negative emotions, like an invisible black hand, tried to overwhelm Gardevoir's consciousness.

Piper enlarged the Mastiff Godfather's Poké Ball.

Wanlong shook his head, raised his hand to stop him, and even reached for the Gengar next to him, taking a bag of potato chips—cucumber flavor—from its mouth: "Don't worry, trust Weixin, he's the best at dealing with these kinds of accidents."

So this is the world as Gardevoir sees it. Wei Xin clutches his head, his brows furrowed.

For the first time, he formally examined their world from the perspective of Pokémon. Those dangerous and terrifying evil thoughts hidden in human emotions that should not be released, Pokémon are like children, helpless in the face of these unknown threats. Coupled with uncontrollable forces, they have only one choice left: to react and then destroy.

Destroy everything in sight that might pose a threat to you.

These children typically need guidance from more mature individuals to help them understand their surroundings and how to properly use their strength.

So Wei Xin reached out to Gardevoir, silent, but his thoughts transformed into voices, following the bond between them, and reached Gardevoir's mind.

It's okay, I will protect you. I will keep out those things you are afraid of, dread, and cannot distinguish, and I will not let them cause you any harm.

No need to care, no need to worry, no need to struggle, just listen to my voice.

A familiar voice and scent approached, and a light appeared in the darkness, like the winter sun breaking through the clouds and melting the frozen river, driving away malice and even tearing it apart. Her vision gradually cleared, as if someone had pressed the delete key on a keyboard. Those noisy, dark, and unbearable things disappeared from the world and could no longer touch her.

Only the trainer's voice remained in her mind, gentle and warm.

"You're kidding, right?" Korrina and Lucario stared blankly as Gardevoir's expression shifted from panic to calm. Even the strong, visible, chaotic aura became clear and stable. Gardevoir straightened its back, its mouth agape in disbelief.

She had gone through countless training sessions and studies but still couldn't fully master Mega Evolution, yet she achieved it in one step without any prior training.

Is this reasonable?

Wanlong gently retracted her bracelet, smiled silently, and sighed. Without any outside guidance, Wei Xin had successfully grasped the secret of Mega Evolution in a short period of time solely through his own strength. Wei Xin's talent was truly heaven-defying. Perhaps I should find some time to relinquish my position as the King of Kings to prevent him from challenging me when he has nothing better to do?

"What's wrong, Korrina? If you don't Mega Evolve, you're going to lose badly." Wei Xin turned to the side, clenched one fist behind his back, and held the other palm up, moving in sync with Gardevoir, their minds in sync.

Korni rubbed her eyes, and in a daze, she saw her grandfather's figure in Wei Xin. Every move he made revealed the unique demeanor of a master, which made people feel awe.

Can we win?

"Um, I—Lucario and I haven't actually fully mastered Mega Evolution yet," Korrina said timidly, poking her finger.

"It's alright, with Wanlong and me here, you can try it with peace of mind," Wei Xin said, turning on his waveguide at full power, covering the entire area. "Let me analyze it for you and help you eliminate the lesions."

Sensing the inexplicable confidence emanating from Wei Xin, Korrina mustered her courage and revealed her fingerless gloves: "Let's go! Lucario, Mega Evolve!"

When the light of evolution faded, Lucario stood frozen in place for a moment, then his reason was instantly overwhelmed by his wildness. His pupils contracted sharply, he trembled, his nose twitched, he bared his teeth, and made a low snorting sound.

"Just as I expected!" Korne clenched her fists, puzzled.

Why can't she and Lucario control Mega Evolution? What exactly is the problem?

Sensing the immense power emanating from Gardevoir, Lucario hunched over, stiffly shifted its body, and roared as it lunged towards Gardevoir.

"I see!" With the combined power of waveguide and telepathy, Wei Xin immediately understood the reason for Lucario's rampage.

Ke! Er! Ni!

Why do Lucario and Korrina, despite their deep bond, become uncontrollable after Mega Evolution?

Why would they launch an indiscriminate attack?

There is only one answer.

Why don't you leash your dog when you walk it?
