After finishing breakfast, Gui Ling and his group quickly ran towards the spot marked by Yveltal. Along the way, Gui Ling told everyone about Kirlia's illness. Everyone was surprised and worried, and they all decided to accompany Kirlia every night, which warmed Kirlia's heart.
However, along the way, Gui Ling suffered greatly. He was either bruised, fell into deep pits, or hung from trees. His unlucky constitution was fully displayed at this moment.
Finally, Gui Ling couldn't take it anymore, so everyone rode on Yveltal's back and flew over.
"So high!"
"Dedenne!"
"Gengar!"
"Frubbit!"
"Kirlia~"
"Can Noivern keep up?"
"Sound Wave!"
".........(I deliberately slowed down, hurry up.)"
"Sound Wave!"
After a period of flying, everyone finally arrived at the Arouans Forest, and Yveltal also began to talk about the previous situation here.
".........(Because I had no place to sleep before, I caused a mass extinction here. This place was destroyed by me, but after such a long time, the ecosystem has actually recovered.)"
"Then how did you come to the Dark Forest?"
".........(I heard it was suitable for Dark-type Pokémon to live there.)"
"How did you know?"
".........(While I was still sleeping, I accidentally overheard a conversation between two Dedenne and learned about that place.)"
"Alright."
After the two finished talking, they entered a huge deep pit. As Yveltal descended, everyone jumped into the water.
"So, is it in this cave?"
".........(I feel it's here, and the probability of it being in the water is higher. Noivern and I will look on the surrounding rock walls, and you all search in the water.)"
Everyone began to "fish in troubled waters." It was difficult to find something in the water in a dark environment, so everyone searched for a long time.
"Gengar!"
Just then, Gengar in the center suddenly picked up a large stone and lifted it, holding it up excitedly.
"Is this it?"
Everyone gathered around. After Gui Ling scraped off the outer stone with his tang katana, the Mega Evolution ite wrapped inside the stone was revealed.
This Mega Evolution ite was completely black, as dark as ink, with a small red mark in the middle.
"Here, Yveltal."
Gui Ling threw the Mega Evolution ite to Yveltal. Yveltal caught it with his foot, and then everyone flew out of the cave together. After landing on the ground, Gui Ling pulled out a huge necklace from his luggage.
"So we've got it. Good thing I bought a necklace that can hang around your neck in advance."
Gui Ling took the Mega Evolution ite, then fiddled with it and attached it to the necklace. Yveltal lowered his head, allowing Gui Ling to put the necklace on his neck, where it rested on his white fur.
"Want to try it now?"
".........(Let's go!)"
"Okay!"
Gui Ling stood still and thought for a moment, then raised his hand. The Mega Evolution ite on Yveltal's neck and the Key Stone on Gui Ling's wrist began to emit intense light.
"May the Death God bless his body and grant him 'Destruction' that obliterates all!"
As the two lights connected, Yveltal's body began to slowly grow larger. His wings and tail feathers began to lengthen, the fur on his neck grew, and the horns on his forehead became longer and longer.
When the light of evolution dissipated, Mega Yveltal appeared before everyone's eyes. His white fur turned gray, covering his back, and his body size at least doubled. The horns on his forehead became even longer, and the markings under his wings became twisted, looking very eerie.
【There's an image, I'll see if I can send it out. I also referenced it online.】
【Your author doesn't have the brain for this, haha】
Yveltal flew a few circles in the sky to get a feel for it, then his wings began to glow with an eerie red light, and he fired Death Wing into the forest ahead.
The red beam of light expanded five times its usual range. Wherever it passed, the ground began to slowly decompose. This was even more destructive and had a greater range than before.
"Yveltal, try Shadow Sneak again!"
Upon receiving the command, Yveltal opened his mouth and began to charge, then directly conjured a huge Shadow Sneak and slammed it into the forest. When the purple smoke cleared, a massive deep pit was left behind.
"Goodness, is this attack that powerful?"
Yveltal flew a few more circles in the sky, then reverted from his Mega Evolved form and flew back to Gui Ling's side.
"How does it feel?"
".........(It's quite wonderful. So this is what Mega Evolution feels like.)"
Just then, Gui Ling's phone in his pocket rang. He saw it was Anne calling and immediately answered.
"Hello, Sister."
"Hehe, Little Brother Gui, I have good news for you. I found Banette's Mega Evolution ite."
"Only one day? I just found Yveltal's Mega Evolution ite too, but we were looking with a purpose. You're searching blindly and keeping up with us?"
"Hehe, it's quite a coincidence. A Little Boy just happened to have a Banette Mega Evolution ite, but he didn't need it and wanted to trade it with someone."
"What kind of trade?"
"Buy him a bag of spicy strips."
"Huh?????" X7
Upon hearing such an absurd way of obtaining it, everyone stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Awesome... All my bumps and bruises along the way, I feel like a clown..."
"Haha! It's okay, isn't this Mega Evolution ite for you anyway~"
"Looks like it... So where do we meet?"
"Santalune City, I guess. I also need to challenge the Gym there."
"Alright then, I'll challenge it too. See you at the Gym."
"See you at the Gym."
After hanging up the phone, Gui Ling immediately picked up his phone and started checking the route, realizing it was still quite far from here.
"Alright then, let's set off!"
Just as Gui Ling took a step forward, he directly fell into a deep pit.
"Ouch!!!!!"
"Dedenne?"
"Gengar?"
"Kirlia..."
"Sound Wave!"
"Frubbit!"
".........(Sigh... Falling every step of the way. How can someone be so unlucky?)"
"Stop talking nonsense, pull me up quickly!"
To avoid getting more bandages, Gui Ling still rode on Yveltal's back, flying over the forest.
Upon arriving at the town, he recalled Yveltal, as Yveltal's appearance might cause panic among the townspeople.
"Still far from there... It's already noon, let's go eat."
All of Gui Ling's Pokémon were with him except Yveltal. Then Gui Ling began to ask everyone what they wanted to eat in town.
However, just then, the sound of rollerblades came from nearby.
A blonde girl wearing a beige helmet and rollerblades glided over from the side.
"Yay! Found a Trainer!"
After steadying herself, the girl stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the pile of Pokémon around Gui Ling.
"Hehe, you're my 36th Trainer! I'm Korrina, let's have a Pokémon battle!"
After speaking, Korrina tossed a Poké Ball into the air, and Lucario jumped out of the Poké Ball, standing alongside Korrina.
"Alright, but you said I'm the 36th Trainer, don't tell me you've already had 35 consecutive wins?"
"Hehe, of course! You'll be my 36th consecutive win! Are you ready to take it on?"
Korrina looked carefully, then pointed to Kirlia nearby.
"Let's go with her!"
"No!"
Gui Ling immediately shielded Kirlia behind him, and Korrina was startled by Gui Ling's actions and warning.
"Hmm... What's wrong?"
"My Kirlia has an illness. I will try not to let her participate in battles until she is cured."
"I see, I understand! Sorry, I didn't know the reason. Then you pick one."
Gui Ling nodded, then looked at everyone, who were all eager and ready for battle.
Frogadier and Noivern probably couldn't beat Lucario.
Gui Ling would absolutely not let Kirlia participate.
Yveltal was a bit too monstrous; he would probably end it with one Death Wing right from the start.
So now, the only ones who could battle were Gengar and Banette.
"Dedenne!"
Banette took a step forward, volunteering to fight. After Gui Ling nodded, Banette immediately flew over.
"Banette? Are you sure you want this?"
"Less talk! Come on!"
Lucario VS Banette
"Lucario! Bone Rush!"
"Luca! Rio!"
"Dodge with Confusion! Then use Night Shade!"
Lucario put his hands together, conjuring two bone clubs, and rushed towards Banette at an extremely fast speed.
However, Banette immediately flew into the air, and while dodging the attack, immediately used Night Shade. Lucario blocked with his bone clubs, but found the force to be very strong.
"Lucario! How is it?"
"Luca!"
"Is the opponent strong? Alright then! Metal Sound!"
Lucario quickly clashed the iron spikes on his hands, but this was exactly what Gui Ling wanted.
"This is the move I've been waiting for to buy time! Fiery Body!"
"Dedenne!"
Then terrifying Will-O-Wisp enveloped Banette's body, forming a barrier, but it didn't avoid the noise of Metal Sound.
"Encore! Bone Rush!"
"Block with Shadow Sneak!"
The bone clubs and Shadow Sneak collided, creating purple smoke. When Lucario's vision was obstructed, Gui Ling immediately commanded Banette.
"Double Team!"
When Lucario regained his vision, he was surrounded by Banette, all engulfed in Will-O-Wisp.
"Try to find the real one!"
"Luca!"
Lucario swung his bone clubs again, striking two of the clones, but they were all fakes.
But in the next second, all the clones jumped up.
"Concentrate all your power into Will-O-Wisp!"
Then the flames from the clones and the original body all converged, and a massive Will-O-Wisp appeared in Banette's hand.
"Oh no! Block!"
Just as Lucario put his hands up to block, the Will-O-Wisp had already slammed into him. The next second, a blue explosion erupted across the entire battle arena, and Lucario's eyes immediately turned into swirls.
"Huh? No way? One-shot?!"
It should be noted that Lucario blocked all the attacks, so his status should have been full.
Although Korrina was unwilling, she still recalled Lucario.
"W-woo... My 35 consecutive wins!"
"Alright, alright, your cooperation with Lucario was very good."
"Your Banette is too strong?! This is the first time I've seen my Lucario get one-shotted!"
If it were Yveltal, wouldn't you be completely dumbfounded?
"Alright, are you going to the Pokémon Center? To heal up."
"Alright, let's go. Wait a minute! Tell me more about your Banette, how did it become so powerful?"
"Well..."
