Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

After Xiang effortlessly won over Mawile, Anjay extended an invitation to Solrock.

"Solrock, would you like to come with me?"

Solrock was stunned upon hearing this. It looked at everyone and, seeing them nodding encouragingly, it nodded its head in agreement and flew to Anjay's side.

Seeing this scene, Lunatone couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and envy in its eyes.

It had always been with Solrock. Now that Solrock was leaving, what would it do?

Anjay happened to see this, and after a moment's hesitation, he extended an invitation to Lunatone as well.

It was great that they didn't have to separate.

Having successfully caught the Pokémon he wanted, Anjay and Xiang bid farewell to everyone, who reluctantly said goodbye to the two of them, as well as Mawile, Solrock, and Lunatone.

Escorted by the Pokémon all the way to the cave entrance, Anjay and Xiang looked at everyone and said, "Well then, everyone, see you again."

Solrock, Lunatone, and Mawile said goodbye to everyone with tears in their eyes.

After the farewell, Anjay and Xiang each returned their Pokémon to their Poké Balls, then released Braviary and Mandibuzz and rode on their backs.

At this time, the sun was already setting outside. The two Flying-type Pokémon carried Anjay and Xiang as they took off into the sunset. Anjay and Xiang waved to the Pokémon below as they flew away into the sunset.

By the time they returned to Kokoriko Town, it was almost dark.

After returning Braviary and Mandibuzz, Anjay asked Xiang, "I'm staying at the Pokémon Center, what about you?"

Xiang replied, "I'm staying at a hotel."

Anjay said, "Then we're not going the same way. It looks like we have to part ways here."

Xiang said, "See you tomorrow."

Anjay nodded, "See you tomorrow."

Then the two separated and headed towards their respective residences.

After returning to the Pokémon Center, Anjay first took the Pokémon out for dinner.

Releasing several Pokémon, Anjay introduced Tyrunt and Magearna, "These are Solrock, Lunatone, and Honedge, who have just joined us. From now on, we're all partners, so please take care of each other."

"Duki~" Magearna greeted the three Pokémon very friendly.

The three Pokémon also greeted Magearna in a friendly manner.

"Awoo~ Awoo~" The lively and active Tyrunt had been cooped up for too long because Anjay hadn't released it, and it started frolicking as soon as it came out.

Anjay quickly took out its teething stick from the system backpack. With the comfort of the teething stick, Tyrunt immediately calmed down.

After everyone got to know each other, Anjay said, "Alright, let's hurry up and eat. You guys must be hungry!"

"Gang~"

"Awoo~"

Snorlax and Tyrunt nodded quickly.

Then Anjay distributed the food to everyone, and the Pokémon immediately began to feast.

Solrock, Lunatone, and Honedge were eating human-made food for the first time and were instantly conquered by the deliciousness.

The food at the Kokoriko Town Pokémon Center was quite delicious.

Seeing everyone eating with satisfaction, Anjay showed a "kind" smile on his face.

That's right! Anjay suddenly remembered that he hadn't looked at Honedge's data yet!

According to Chandelure, the Honedge that followed him and Xiang was carefully selected and was the most outstanding junior in the Aegislash clan. He wondered if it was true.

Thinking this, Anjay opened the Eye of Data.

Honedge (Everstone)

[Type] Steel, Ghost

[Ability] No Guard

[Gender] Female

[Level] 48

[Moves] Fury Cutter, Shadow Sneak, Autotomize, Aerial Ace, Metal Sound, Slash, Payback, Night Slash, Iron Defense, Iron Head, Swords Dance, Sacred Sword, Wide Guard.

[Individual Values]

HP: 31

Attack: 31

Defense: 29

Special Attack: 31

Special Defense: 27

Speed: 31

After reading it, Anjay was stunned. The word "good" was not enough to describe this data.

Its level was as high as 48, it had learned a very complete set of skills, and among the six individual values, except for Special Defense and Defense, the other four were full.

Although Special Defense and Defense weren't full, they weren't low either.

But why was it wearing an Everstone? No wonder it hadn't evolved at level 48.

Generally, Honedge would meet the evolution conditions around level 35.

Thinking this, Anjay asked directly.

"Honedge, why are you wearing an Everstone? Is there a special reason?"

"Yo~ Yo~" Honedge, who was eating, floated up and answered Anjay.

It turned out that it and Xiang's Honedge were both Pokémon specially cultivated by the clan for the trial-takers. In order to prevent them from evolving before meeting the trial-takers, Chandelure had specially put Everstones on them.

The reason why they were able to learn so many skills was also because of the careful teaching of their clansmen.

Ever since they were selected, the elders in the clan had become very strict with them, striving to make them strong enough to better protect their followers.

Don't look at them as just in their initial form, but they were actually quite old.

It was just that they had been waiting for the trial-taker for a long time, which made the elders very anxious. They all wanted to end the trial as soon as possible, fulfill their promise to the king, and then live freely.

Because they couldn't wait any longer, Chandelure took the initiative to throw out the key to open the ruins, which was then picked up by Xiang, who went to Glittering Cave to adventure.

After listening to Honedge's explanation, Anjay was dumbfounded and said, "So, our ability to enter the ruins was actually intentional by Chandelure?"

"Yo~" Honedge nodded.

These Ghost Pokémon were too smart! Anjay couldn't help but sigh.

"Then do you want to take off the Everstone now?" Anjay asked.

"Yo~" Can I?

Honedge asked.

Anjay said, "Of course, you can do it anytime you want. I respect your choice."

"Yo~ Yo~ ~" Take it off! Take it off!

Honedge immediately somersaulted excitedly in the air.

"Where is your Everstone? I'll help you take it off," Anjay asked.

"Yo~ Yo~" Hearing this, Honedge flew to Anjay and showed Anjay where it was hiding the Everstone.

Only then did Anjay realize that there was a stone stuffed in a hole on Honedge's scabbard, which was the Everstone.

After he took off the Everstone, Honedge's body immediately radiated a dazzling light.

It was the light of evolution.

Under the wrapping of the light, Honedge's body was rapidly changing, from the original single sword to a pair of twin swords crossing each other.

This was Honedge's evolved form—Doublade.

"Chirp~ Chirp~"

After evolving, Doublade was very happy, and immediately drew its swords and slashed back and forth in the air, with flashes of cold light following.

Because it was a Shiny, the color of the evolved Doublade was different from that of a normal Doublade.

The blade of a normal Doublade is white, its eyes are pink, its streamers are generally light purple, and the ends are pink.

And Anjay's Shiny Doublade has a dark red blade, yellow eyes, generally dark purple streamers, and yellow ends.

Anjay quickly said, "Doublade, come back and eat. This is a public place, be careful not to hurt anyone."

"Chirp~ ~" Hearing this, Doublade quickly flew back to continue eating.

At this time, Snorlax walked to Anjay's side and pointed to the Everstone in Anjay's hand.

"Gang~ Gang~ ~"

Anjay asked in confusion, "You want this Everstone?"

"Gang~ Gang~" Snorlax nodded.

Hearing this, Anjay asked in confusion, "What do you want it for? Don't you want to evolve either?"

"Gang~ Gang~ ~" Snorlax shook its head, indicating that it was still training and would evolve when it had trained to its satisfaction.

Of course, another reason was that it knew that after it evolved, it would become huge, and it would no longer be able to act spoiled in its master's arms, and it would not be able to sleep in the same bed as its master.

It still wanted to spend more time with its master in its current form.

By wearing the Everstone, it could evolve whenever it wanted when it had accumulated enough.

Anjay didn't know what level of satisfaction Snorlax was talking about, but since it said so, he didn't object.

He pinched Snorlax's cheeks and said, "Okay, whatever you want!" Saying that, he stuffed the Everstone into Snorlax's hand.

"Gang~" Snorlax happily stuffed the Everstone into its thick fur, then trotted back to eat.

Snorlax's fur is similar to Gengar's belly, able to hold anything.

Afterward, An Jue also checked the data for Solrock and Lunatone from early this morning. Their data was much more normal, just the level of ordinary wild Pokémon.

However, An Jue didn't care, after all, he didn't intend for Solrock and Lunatone to fight battles.

After dinner, An Jue took the Pokémon for a walk outside, watched a bit of battling in the Pokémon Center's backyard, and finally returned to his room.

Then, he had a video call with the Pokémon at home for a while before finally going to bed.

The next morning, An Jue took the Pokémon and met Ayaka at a breakfast shop, and they had breakfast together.

After seeing An Jue's Honedge evolve into Doublade, Ayaka was very surprised.

"How did your Honedge evolve after only one night?"

An Jue said mysteriously, "Want to know the reason?"

Ayaka nodded repeatedly and looked at An Jue with expectant eyes, "Want to know, want to know!"

"What to do? This is a secret, I wouldn't tell just anyone," An Jue said teasingly.

Ayaka slapped An Jue anxiously, "Tell me quickly!"

Only then did An Jue stop being mysterious, "Our Honedge's levels are actually very high, and they have long reached the stage where they can evolve, but they are wearing Everstones. As long as you take off the Everstones, they can evolve immediately."

"Huh? ? ?" Ayaka widened her eyes in surprise. She looked at her Honedge and asked, "Is that so, Honedge?"

"Yo ~ Yo ~" Honedge nodded.

Then, with An Jue's help, Ayaka removed the Everstone from her Honedge, and her Honedge successfully evolved into Doublade.

An Jue looked at Ayaka's Doublade with the Eye of Data and found that her Doublade's data was almost the same as An Jue's Doublade, and the skills were exactly the same.

Because they both planned to leave Koki Town in the afternoon, they decided to stroll around Koki Town together after breakfast.

They first went to the Koki Town Aquarium, after all, the aquarium was the most famous place here.

In the aquarium, An Jue and the others saw all kinds of Water-type Pokémon, including schools of Luvdisc, the living fossil Relicanth that has survived from ancient times, and Kingdra, which only lives in the deep sea, and so on!

They also went to the Pokémon shop, and An Jue and Ayaka each bought an Eviolite for their Doublade.

Doublade needs a Dusk Stone to evolve into Aegislash, but neither of them planned to evolve their Doublade immediately, so Eviolite became a very suitable item for Doublade to hold.

Doublade's attack is not low, and its physical defense base stat is ridiculously high, as much as 150. If it wears an Eviolite, it will become even more terrifying, so it is very cost-effective for them to wear an Eviolite.

After buying the Eviolite, the two walked out of the Pokémon shop, chatting and laughing with their Pokémon.

At this moment, a person suddenly appeared in front of them and looked at Ayaka and asked:

"Excuse me, are you Ayaka?"

Ayaka nodded and said, "It's me, do you need something?" She looked at the young man in front of her suspiciously.

The young man looked handsome, with black hair and a tall stature. More importantly, An Jue and Ayaka both noticed that he was wearing a Mega Ring on his wrist, with a Key Stone embedded in it.

The young man introduced himself, "My name is Alain, and I'm here to challenge you."

Ayaka said, "Challenge me?" At the same time, she wondered in her heart, am I so famous?

"Mega Evolution, you have it, right!" Alain said concisely.

Ayaka suddenly understood, so he came to challenge Mega Evolution.

She was never afraid of challenges, so she nodded and said, "I accept your challenge!"

Then Ayaka asked suspiciously, "How did you know I was in Koki Town?"

Alain replied, "The video of you battling in Koki Town was posted online. I saw it by chance and happened to be near Koki Town, so I came to take a look."

Ayaka suddenly understood, "So that's how it is." She had indeed exchanged pointers with people in Koki Town.

Now that the internet and communication technology are so advanced, it is not surprising that her battle video was posted online.

Because there was no proper battle场地 in Koki Town, Ayaka and Alain came to the grassland outside the town. This place was spacious, so it didn't matter how they fought.

An Jue was asked to act as a temporary referee.

"If both sides are ready, then release your Pokémon!" The unprofessional temporary referee An Jue said loudly.

As An Jue's voice fell, the two simultaneously took out Poké Balls and released their Pokémon.

On Ayaka's side, there was no surprise, it was Absol.

On Alain's side, it was Charizard.

Seeing the Key Stone embedded in the collar around Charizard's neck, a hint of understanding flashed in the hearts of An Jue and Ayaka at the same time.

From Alain taking the initiative to ask Ayaka to use Mega Evolution, An Jue and Ayaka faintly guessed that this Alain was probably also the owner of a Key Stone.

Speaking of Alain, his identity is not simple.

He used to be an assistant to Professor Sycamore, a famous Pokémon Professor in the Kalos region.

Professor Sycamore is a pioneer and authority in the Kalos region in researching the Mega Evolution phenomenon.

In order to help the professor research Mega Evolution, the assistant Alain took Charmander on a journey, visiting ruins everywhere, just to find more Mega Stones.

During the journey, he and Charmander continued to become stronger, and Charmander eventually evolved into Charizard.

During this period, he met another person who changed his will, that is, Lysandre, a famous entrepreneur and philanthropist in the Kalos region, and also the boss of Team Flare.

Later, Alain broke off contact with the professor and became Lysandre's subordinate, and followed Lysandre's instructions to find people with Mega Stones everywhere, and fight them, and then collect Mega Evolution energy.

The Key Stone and Charizardite in Alain's hand were both obtained from Lysandre.

Of course, Alain didn't know Lysandre's idea of destroying the world and then creating a new world. He only thought that Lysandre wanted to study Mega Evolution and that Lysandre could help him become stronger.

An Jue didn't know Alain, and didn't know that Alain was Lysandre's subordinate, so he still thought he was just an ordinary trainer.

"Then the match begins!" Seeing that the Pokémon of both sides had been released, An Jue said loudly.

As soon as An Jue's voice fell, Ayaka took the lead in commanding Absol to launch an attack on Charizard.

"Absol, Psycho Cut!"

"Absol ~ ~"

Absol roared, and the crescent horn on its head swung out a huge purple blade to cut towards Charizard.

"Charizard, Flamethrower," Alain commanded Charizard to counterattack.

"Woo ~ ~"

Charizard also roared, flapping its wings and flying into the air, dodging Absol's Psycho Cut, and then opened its mouth to spit out a pillar of fire towards Absol.

"Absol, Double Team!" Ayaka shouted.

"Absol ~ ~" Absol's figure turned into more than a dozen in a burst of flickering.

Then Ayaka shouted again: "Psycho Cut!"

I saw a dozen Absol swinging the crescent horns on their heads at the same time, and purple blades simultaneously slashed towards Charizard.

Alain shouted: "Charizard, Dragon Claw!"

"Ah woo ~" Charizard opened its arms, and two huge green energy claws were wrapped around its claws.

Charizard quickly danced its claws, and Absol's Psycho Cut was defeated one after another.

After the probing ended, Alain said to Ayaka, "Let's both show our true abilities!"

Ayaka said: "That's exactly what I want!"

She stretched her left hand to her right ear pendant, touched the Key Stone and said: "Absol, release your power, Mega Evolve!"

At the same time, Alain also pressed his index finger and middle finger on the Key Stone and shouted: "Resonate with my heart, Key Stone! Beyond evolution, Mega Evolution!"

As the voices of the two fell, colorful rays of light emerged from the Key Stones of both sides, as well as Absol's Mega Stone and Charizard's Mega Stone, until they completely enveloped Absol and Charizard.

In the light, the appearance of the two Pokémon changed dramatically.

After the light dissipated, Mega Absol and Mega Charizard appeared.
