Pokémon: Master System.

"Mega Evolution is far more complex than Z-Moves. A single Pokémon can even have different forms of Mega Evolution..."

Long Fan and his daughter Long Yan Ning listened to Xia Yu's description, becoming more and more engrossed. Xia Yu's words seemed to open the door to a new world for them. They had never imagined that Pokémon could evolve further after reaching their final form.

Although it sounded somewhat unbelievable, the more Xia Yu described it, the more plausible it seemed to Long Fan. He couldn't help but look at the Evolution Key Stone and Mega Evolution Stone in Xia Yu's hand. If what Xia Yu said was true, then the value of the Mega Evolution Stone and Evolution Key Stone was truly immeasurable.

“Master, I will contact Xiao Tianwang and ask him to move the jewelry expo to next Saturday, which is the day before the Xishu Provincial University Cup finals.”

"I will most likely use Mega Evolution in that competition; that stage is undoubtedly the best opportunity to showcase my results and promote them."

As Long Yan Ning listened to Xia Yu's words and looked at the confident smile on Xia Yu's face, her beautiful eyes sparkled. She realized that Xia Yu had grown so much without her noticing. She still remembered the first time they met, Xia Yu was with an elite-level buzzing bat, a newly born fire dragon, and a forest lizard.

She suddenly realized how fast time had passed. Long Yanning silently watched Xia Yu, her eyes filled with nothing but him.

“Master, I have three main things to do this time.”

…………

Chapter 259 Three Things

three things.

The first thing, and the most important thing for Xia Yu right now, is the evolution of Dorgonmesia.

After half a year of growth, and nourished by the Ghost-type core energy of the A-rank Dragon Scale and the Punishment Pot, little Draco Messia has finally reached the critical period of its first evolution.

The first evolution is also the most crucial, because the Ghost-type core energy of the Punishment Pot is too concentrated. In order to balance the Ghost and Dragon-type energies on Dragapult, Xia Yu needs to prepare at least an A-rank Dragon-type item to make Dragapult evolve.

Although he still has one A-grade dragon scale left, Xia Yu still wants to find a better S-grade item to allow Doron Mesia to achieve a truly perfect evolution without leaving any flaws.

Although Dragapult looks ordinary and its strength is pitifully weak, it is actually the Pokémon with the highest potential in Xia Yu's team. As time goes by, Dragapult's strength will only increase, and it will only be a matter of time before it becomes the elder brother of Xia Yu's team.

"Master, the first thing is that my Dragapult is about to evolve. I want to buy an S-rank Dragon-type item. Is there any way to get it?" Xia Yu looked at Long Fan and asked.

"What?" Long Fan looked at Xia Yu in surprise, his eyebrows furrowed, as if he had misheard. "What did you just say?"

"Ahem..." Seeing Long Fan's surprised expression, Xia Yu quickly coughed twice: "It's just an S-rank dragon-type item. If you can't buy it, then forget it."

“Not that sentence.” Long Fan stared at Xia Yu and shook his head: “The previous sentence.”

"The previous sentence?" Xia Yu thought for a moment, then said, "My Draco Messia is about to evolve."

"Yes, yes, that's it." Long Fan looked at Xia Yu, scrutinizing him from head to toe as if he were an idiot: "What nonsense are you talking about? Your Dorothy has only been hatched for a few months? And it's already evolving?"

“Look at your Nova Bat, it has been growing for longer than the Draco and it hasn’t evolved yet, let alone the Draco Mesia.”

Xia Yu then came to his senses. It turned out that what surprised Long Fan was that his Dragapult was growing too fast. Upon closer inspection, it made sense. His Dragapult Messiah was growing at an absurdly fast pace, reaching Gym Leader level in just six months.

This is almost impossible.

"Ahem, Master, my Draco Messia is really about to evolve."

"Huh? Stop joking, what's going on?" Long Fan smiled, clearly not believing Xia Yu's words, but he noticed that Xia Yu's expression was sincere and didn't seem to be joking.

Long Fan's smile gradually faded: "What you just said was true?"

"Really." Xia Yu said as he took out his Dragapult's Poké Ball and released Dragapult Messia.

The moment Dorgonmesia appeared, it caught Long Fan's attention. To be honest, just by looking at Dorgonmesia's appearance, it was hard to tell its strength. One could only judge that this Dorgonmesia was quite well-developed.

However, Long Fan and his daughter were no ordinary people; both were superpowered individuals with the ability to control dragons. Long Fan didn't hide his superpower either, placing his hand directly on Doronmesia's body, unleashing his dragon-controlling power, and solemnly probing Doronmesia's strength.

The clearer Long Fan sensed Doronmesia's strength, the more somber his expression became.

It's actually about to evolve! You know, once Dragapult evolves into Dragapult, it's almost at the Gym Leader level. This is only a few months old. What surprised him even more was that this Dragapult's potential seemed to have surpassed the Champion level, and it seemed to have reached the near-Master level!

Long Fan was incredibly moved at this moment. He looked at his disciple and found that he could understand him less and less.

How many more surprises will my apprentice give me?

With this Dragon Mesia as a foundation, as long as Xia Yu grows steadily and practically, he will definitely become a champion in the future, in addition to Xia Yu's achievements in scientific research.

Xia Yu will definitely become one of the most important figures in the entire country in the future.

Even he couldn't see the end of his apprentice's future.

“I’ll provide this S-rank Dragon-type item for you!” Long Fan’s voice was resolute, his gaze unwavering, and his tone brooked no argument: “You just focus on your experiments and your matches; leave this to me.”

"Ahem, Master, I can't accept this. I'll pay for it, I'll pay for it."

Do you think anyone would be stupid enough to sell an S-rank item?

“Then Master, I will take care of you in your old age.”

"I have a daughter to support me in my old age, so just stop causing me trouble." Long Fan looked coldly at the fawning Xia Yu. He had a daughter, yet he said he would support him in his old age. He was really scheming. "Say two more things quickly, and stop with the nonsense."

"The second thing is that I recently caught a shiny Gastly, which is about to evolve into Haunter," Xia Yu said. "My Gastly is a bit unbalanced, specializing in Ghost-type energy, but its Poison-type energy is very weak. It needs at least an S-rank Poison-type item to ensure that Gastly can develop in a balanced way and evolve into Haunter."

Long Fan felt increasingly uneasy as he listened. Was this another attempt to exploit him by offering him an S-grade poison item?

Seemingly sensing that Long Fan's gaze was growing colder, Xia Yu's voice grew softer and softer: "This matter isn't urgent..."

Looking at Xia Yu's appearance, Long Fan was also annoyed. How did he end up with such a disciple? However, he really had no way to deal with S-level poison items, but just because he couldn't do anything about it didn't mean that others couldn't.

"What's the potential of your Gastly?" Long Fan asked. "Does it have near-champion strength? If it doesn't have near-champion strength or above, don't waste an S-rank item."

"There should be...right?"

“If it exists, it exists. What do you mean by ‘should exist’? Have you seriously tested your qualifications?” Long Fan asked.

"Ahem. No." Xia Yu explained, "This Gastly is a Pokémon egg brought out from the Dreamland, so its strength should be at least at the near-champion level."

"Are you sure?" Long Fan asked.

"Sure," Xia Yu replied.

"How can you be so stupid? I'll prepare an S-rank dragon-type item for you, and you can ask Xiao Tianwang to help you with the S-rank poison-type item. She has quite a few treasures."

"Cooperation always requires some sacrifice. I've already given her an S-rank dragon-type item; she can't just sit there empty-handed. You're so shameless with me, why don't you dare ask her for it? How could you be so stupid as to just ask?" Long Fan said, exasperated.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

"Alright, I'll call her for you later." Long Fan paused, then continued, "And the third thing? Go on."

"The third thing..."

"Wait a minute." Xia Yu was about to speak when Long Fan interrupted him: "Let's make this clear first, if you want any more S-rank items, don't ask for them."

"The third thing is a little more troublesome than the first two. I need to finish the paper in seven days," Xia Yu said. "I plan to go see my grandfather tomorrow and talk to him about the new experimental project. I also need an assistant to help me finish the paper. I don't have that much time to write it."

"You handle this yourself." Long Fan was helpless about the experiment: "The S-grade dragon-type item and the S-grade item will be delivered to you tomorrow. I'll contact Xiao Tianwang right away and give her a heads-up. I believe that once she knows the details of your experiment, she'll be willing to provide an S-grade poison-type item."

"Thank you, Master." Xia Yu said obsequiously, "Master, you truly deserve to be the head of the Four Heavenly Kings of North China. Your vision and perspective are indeed far beyond that of ordinary people. Your disciple wishes you the best of luck in reaching the top again and becoming the champion of North China!"

"Stop flattering me. Alright. That's enough for today. Do you have a place to stay tonight?" Long Fan suddenly asked.

"I'll stay in a hotel," Xia Yu said.

"The hotel isn't safe, so you'll have to sleep in a room at Yan Ning's dormitory."

"Okay!" Xia Yu quickly replied.

Xia Yu's smile contrasted sharply with Long Yan Ning's rosy cheeks.

Chapter 260 Announcement Preparation

After leaving Long Fan's office, Xia Yu and Long Yan Ning walked side by side back to the teachers' dormitory. Compared to the bustling scene a few months ago, the Dragon Realm was now a bit deserted, with only a few scattered passersby.

This period will continue until the end of the University Cup, at which time the Dragon Realm will become bustling again.

The dim yellow streetlights on both sides of the road shone on the two of them. The light was dim, and their shadows were intertwined. The two of them looked like a young couple taking a walk, beautiful and sweet.

The world became so quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps remaining.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Long Yanning, Xia Yu's thoughts drifted into memories, as if the two of them had never taken such a leisurely stroll before.

During his time in the secret realm, Xia Yu was always busy improving his strength, seizing every opportunity to train his Pokémon. He rarely experienced such a slow-paced life.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the training ground. Xia Yu remembered that it was on this training ground that he would train with the forest lizard, the little dragon, and the buzzing bat until late at night every night. At that time, the little dragon was fierce and always provoked the buzzing bat.

Unlike the Charizard we have now, it's much more mature and stable. Looking back now, time really flies; that period of hard work and struggle was truly an unforgettable time.

But the efforts will eventually bear fruit, and all the sacrifices will be worthwhile.

Xia Yu turned to look at Long Yanning beside her. She noticed that Long Yanning's cheeks were flushed, and she looked particularly charming under the streetlights, like a tempting apple that made one want to take a bite.

I don't know when it started, but Teacher Long has become so shy. She gets shy when she talks, and she gets shy even when we're just walking together.

It's said that women only blush in front of people they like, but I don't know if that's true or not.

Walking quietly on the road, Xia Yu carefully observed Long Yan Ning under the dim light of the street lamps. He found that Teacher Long had very fair skin, delicate features, and long eyelashes that fluttered, making her look like a fairy descending to earth.

Long Yanning has a slender figure. Because the weather is getting warmer, she is only wearing a turtleneck sweater on her upper body and a pair of flesh-colored fleece-lined stockings on her lower body, which outlines her beautiful figure.

Tall and slender, she has a pair of straight and long legs, but what is most eye-catching is her willow-like waist, which is so small that it can be encircled by one hand, truly deserving of her nickname "Little Waist Fairy".

Xia Yu still remembers the amazing impression Long Yanning left on him when they first met.

Perhaps sensing Xia Yu's burning and unrestrained gaze, Long Yanning blushed even more and couldn't help but turn her head to glare at Xia Yu, signaling him not to be too presumptuous.

"Teacher Long, have you been busy lately?" Xia Yu asked, pretending not to see Teacher Long's embarrassed and annoyed expression.

"It's alright, things have been pretty relaxed lately."
