Pokémon: Master System.

The quarterfinals?

Xiang Hanli thought helplessly, "So Xia Yu is already this strong?"

Victory or defeat is no longer important. Since that's the case, let's launch the final attack. A man should be defeated standing up.

"Salamander, Outrage!"

"Lizard King, the final Dragon Pulse!"

…………

"Salamander is unable to battle, Sceptile King wins!"

…………

"Corviknight is unable to battle, Charizard wins!"

…………

"The Pelipper is unable to fight, and the Sceptile King wins! Let's give a round of applause to Xia Yu. Congratulations to Xia Yu for winning the match with an absolute advantage of 3-0 and becoming the first to advance to the semifinals."

The next match was naturally a foregone conclusion. After Mega Sceptile defeated Salamence, Xia Yu, relying on Mega Charizard and Mega Sceptile, swept away Xiang Hanli's remaining two Pokémon, becoming the first player to enter the top four and securing the first ticket to the semifinals.

Xia Yu's match once again demonstrated the power of Mega Evolution to everyone.

Sceptile, which was originally no match for Salamence, actually defeated Salamence through Mega Evolution, which shows how much Mega Evolution increases a Pokémon's strength.

"You're amazing, Xia Yu." After the match, Xiang Hanli walked over and shook hands with Xia Yu. Looking at Xia Yu, Xiang Hanli had a bitter expression. He hadn't seen Xia Yu for several months and he had become so strong. "I was so unlucky to meet you. There's a gap in strength between us. I'm no match for you."

"The final match will most likely be between you and Su Muzi." Xiang Hanli suddenly thought of Su Muzi and couldn't help but say, "Xia Yu, good luck, I believe you can definitely defeat Su Muzi and win the championship."

"Thank you." Although the two were at loggerheads on the battlefield, Xia Yu remained polite after the match.

"Come on, you must win the championship. That way, it won't be shameful to say that I only lost to the champion." Xiang Hanli clearly had a very good mentality and accepted his defeat calmly.

…………

As Xia Yu walked out of the contestant passage, he saw Xia Yong and his wife, his maternal grandparents, Long Fan and his daughter, Xiao Wanyu and her daughter, as well as Elder Chi and Chi Hanqing and their group waiting to him.

These people are either his family members or his close collaborators.

Originally, Xia Luo, the older brother, also planned to come to the capital, but because his sister-in-law was pregnant, he had to stay at home to take care of her, so the two of them stayed in Xishu Province.

"You played very well. Let's go to the restaurant." Seeing Xia Yu come out, Elder Lin, the most senior member of the family, spoke first.

Since Long Fan and Xiao Wanyu were both free today, Old Lin invited several families to have dinner together.

Last time, Xia Yu announced that he had a new experimental project, which aroused the curiosity of several families. Today's dinner is also to reassure them and discuss cooperation on the new experiment.

This was a decision he made after discussing it with Xia Yu.

"Xia Yu has already made it to the semi-finals, now it's up to you, Su Muzi." At this moment, Elder Lin turned to look at Su Muzi and said with a smile, "With your strength, reaching the semi-finals is definitely not a problem. And the final will most likely be between you and Xiao Yu. Let's have a simple meal today, and no matter who wins the championship, we'll celebrate properly."

Upon hearing Elder Lin's words, everyone turned their attention to Xiao Wanyu and her daughter standing to the side.

Su Muzi's face flushed slightly, and her smile was as bright as starlight: "Uncle Lin, I can't beat Xia Yu. You'll have to ask Xia Yu to go easy on me so I don't lose too badly."

With a smile on his face, Old Lin's gaze lingered on Su Muzi's face. Recalling the marriage alliance that the Su family had discussed some time ago, he looked at the well-behaved and sensible Su Muzi and felt that Su Muzi was quite suitable for Xiaoyu.

The two are similar in age, equally capable, and well-matched.

The key point is that the two have a good relationship and were classmates for half a year, so they are quite familiar with each other. Su Muzi is undoubtedly the most suitable marriage partner for Xia Yu.

"Xiao Su, you're too modest. I support you in beating Xia Yu. He's gotten a bit cocky lately. Let's go have dinner together."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin." Listening to the conversation between Old Lin and Su Muzi, Long Yanning lowered her head and remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

…………

The four families arrived at the Imperial Capital Hotel together. It has a simple and unpretentious name, but it is a century-old brand.

A dozen or so people sat in a private room, drinking and eating while chatting about everyday things.

Everyone patiently kept quiet about the new experiment until after several rounds of drinks and dishes. Finally, Old Lin steered the conversation to Xia Yu's new experiment: "Comrade Qin, why don't you take Xiao Su, Yan Ning, and Han Qing out for a stroll?"

Hearing what Elder Lin said, Elder Qin nodded. She didn't want to hear about these things either. She got up and took her daughter Lin Xuemei's hand. Accompanied by Xia Yong, Long Yanning, Chi Hanqing, and Su Muzi, they walked out of the house, leaving only Elder Lin, Elder Chi, Long Fan, Xiao Wanyu, and Xia Yu inside.

"Xia Yu, let's get down to business."

"Yes. Elder Chi, Master, Heavenly King Xiao. You've all heard about my recent plans to start a new experiment. I'm having dinner with you all today to discuss the collaboration on this new experiment, and also to ask about the secret realm."

The over-sixty-year-old Elder Chi wiped his mouth, looked at Elder Lin, and said in a hoarse voice, "The association has already approved your conditions regarding the secret realm, but the process will take some time."

"Thank you, Professor Chi." Xia Yu continued, "Next, I'll talk about the new experiment."

"I have a general idea for my new experiment for now. The details of the experiment need to be kept confidential, but the results will not be inferior to Mega Evolution."

Xia Yu's words immediately made everyone gasp. They hadn't expected that Xia Yu, who had just announced Mega Evolution not long ago, was already preparing for a new experimental project.

You're something else, Xia Yu, you're as prolific as a sow.

Chapter 291 Gigantamax

"Although the results of the new experiment will not be inferior to those of Mega Evolution, the experimental difficulty of the new experiment is also much greater than that of Mega Evolution, and it is impossible to achieve results in a short period of time. I hope everyone can be mentally prepared."

Xia Yu spoke slowly and deliberately, serving as a reminder to everyone present. In Xia Yu's plan, his next experiment would be Dynamaxing.

Developing Dynamax is much more complex than developing Mega Evolution.

First of all, the very first step is quite difficult, requiring one to travel to the secret realm where Anuttara resides and search for Anuttara.

Eternatus is the key to Dynamax and the energy source for it; without Eternatus, there is no Dynamax. Ideally, you should find Eternatus and awaken it from its secret seal before you can use Dynamax.

Secondly, a Wishing Star is needed to create a Max Bracer. The effect of a Wishing Star is equivalent to an Evolution Key Stone. This requires professional researchers to develop, and Xia Yu alone is definitely not enough.

Finally, and most importantly, Dynamax can only be performed in places with a high concentration of Dynamax energy.

If these areas with high Dynamax energy are far from cities, gyms will need to be rebuilt in these locations, which involves a lot of infrastructure and can cost a considerable amount of money. It may also affect the current distribution of gyms.

Dynamaxing isn't like Mega Evolution, which can be achieved with just two orbs and the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon. It involves many aspects, and Xia Yu alone absolutely cannot conquer the entire Dynamaxing market. Therefore, he needs more collaborators to share the Dynamaxing pie.

…………

Of course, the most important reason why Xia Yu is making Dynamax his next experimental project is that he currently has a task called "Dynamax".

You need to collect three Wishing Stars and have a Pokémon with Elite Four-level or higher strength to unlock the next stage of the quest.

He has now collected one Wishing Star, and with Iron Warrior as a backup for Elite Four level Pokémon, he only needs to collect two more Wishing Stars before he can start exploring Dynamax.

"The new experiment is absolutely impossible for me to complete by myself alone. The two assistants I recruited this time are not only to help me write the paper, but also need to have certain abilities." Xia Yu said with a serious expression: "The new experiment needs everyone's strong support in terms of manpower, financial resources and materials. Of course, I can assure you that once the new experiment is successful, the rewards will be more than enough."

Hearing Xia Yu's words, as a newly joined collaborator and the only champion present, Elder Chi spoke first: "If there's anything you need, Xiao Yu, just let me know. Since we've decided to cooperate, providing assistance is what we should do."

“That’s right, Xiaoyu, you don’t need to be so polite with me.” Xiao Wanyu also looked at Xia Yu with a bright smile, “If there’s anything I can help with, just let me know. Both I and the Su family will give our full support.”

Xiao Wanyu's words were also an implication to Xia Yu that although she was only at the level of a Four Heavenly King and not as strong as Elder Chi, she had the Su family backing her.

Su Sheng is the current champion, while Su Chengyan, the head of the Su family, is the former champion. This is the foundation of the Su family.

Of course, Xiao Wanyu agreed to help Xia Yu without hesitation.

Compared to the gains, these meager investments are utterly insignificant.

Mega Evolution not only made her incredibly wealthy, but more importantly, it also significantly elevated her status within the Su family. Now that Old Master Su is on his deathbed, her situation will be precarious once Su Chengyan passes away.

However, with a large number of Mega Evolution Stones and key Evolution Keys in her possession, Xiao Wanyu's influence in the Su family has also increased significantly.

Therefore, upon hearing that Xia Yu had a new experiment, she did not hesitate and immediately expressed her strong support.

Elder Chi and Xiao Wanyu expressed their opinions one after another. Finally, Master Long Fan said with a smile, "Xiao Yu, you don't need to be polite with me. Just say what you want."

"Thank you, Elder Chi, Heavenly King Xiao, and Master." Xia Yu nodded and continued, "The new experiment will probably start after I go to university. These past few months have only been in the preparation stage."

"Besides talking about the new experiment today, there's another thing to discuss: the allocation of shares in the Secret Realm."

"The seven evolution key stones and mega evolution stones of the exchange secret realm were all collected by you two, King Xiao and Master, so you should also have a share in the distribution of the secret realm shares."

"King Xiao, I've already discussed it with my master. He'll give me all his shares in the secret realm free of charge. I'm willing to buy your shares." Xia Yu smiled at Xiao Wanyu, remaining silent and awaiting her reply.

As a shrewd person, Xiao Wanyu could easily see that Xia Yu was deliberately putting pressure on her. If Long Fan didn't want the shares in the secret realm, why should she?

Moreover, Xiao Wanyu was confident that if she dared to mention money, Xia Yu would definitely remove her from the list of partners.

Although Xiao Wanyu didn't particularly care about these shares, what concerned her was that Xia Yu had unknowingly gained the strength to threaten her. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, but put on a smile: "Since Dragon King is so generous, then I naturally can't be stingy either. I will also give you the shares of the secret realm free of charge."

"Then I thank you, King Xiao. Oh, right, there's one last thing. My new experiment needs something, and I hope you can help me collect it."

As Xia Yu spoke, he took out a dim and lifeless wishing star: "I only need a few of these right now, but you should try to collect as many as possible, and you must keep it a secret. Don't rush it, you can take your time and collect them slowly."

"I call this thing the Wishing Star. The Wishing Star is very important to the new experiment, just like the Key Stone is to Mega Evolution. I hope everyone will keep this a secret."

"And you must be careful not to limit your focus to China; you can also collect these things abroad."

"This experiment may take several years from start to finish, which is plenty of time to slowly collect this stuff."

Everyone glanced at the Wishing Star in Xia Yu's hand, memorizing its appearance. With their experience with Mega Evolution Stones and Evolution Key Stones, plus what Xia Yu had just said, they understood the significance of this.

Even a fool would know that the thing Xia Yu took out would be extremely valuable in the future.

Looking at Xia Yu, Xiao Wanyu secretly guessed that Xia Yu deliberately brought up this matter after discussing the shares, definitely to test her attitude. If she made the wrong decision, he would definitely kick her out of the list of partners.

"No problem, I'll have someone collect them as soon as I get back. Whenever you need them, I'll have someone send them to you once I find them."

Xiao Wanyu was the first to stand up and express her opinion. She knew that in terms of the closeness of relationships, she could not compare with the Chi family, the Long family, and the Lin family, so she could only do more in this regard.
