The villainous young master just wants to live a Buddhist-like life.

　Dark recorded the data, looked up at FightingLeomon, and said, "Give me a performance."

　"Alright." FightingLeomon responded and immediately began performing... Rabbit Fang Fist.

　"Ahem, not that," Dark quickly interjected.

　.

　Rabbit Tooth Fist is a fist technique that can be learned even without internal energy, but it doesn't have any special effects.

　However, it's a bit awkward for a big monster like "Fighting Leomon" to perform a fist technique that focuses on small moves like the Rabbit Fang Fist.

　"Fighting Leomon" paused for a moment, then quickly switched back to its powerful and sweeping attacks, unleashing four consecutive finishing moves with excellent coordination.

　Dark nodded slightly and then sparred with it for a few rounds. "Fighting Leomon's" fighting skills had indeed improved. Even though it controlled its strength during the sparring, Dark still found it difficult to defend itself.

　He himself had not practiced any advanced close combat techniques, and he had only just begun to learn Rabbit Tooth Fist, which was something that could not be helped.

　However, as the bond between them deepens, the combat talent he can share with "Leomon" will gradually increase, and perhaps one day he will be able to fight against it.

　Following "Leomon", Dark continued to conduct evolution tests on "Torchic".

　Torchic is a three-star magical Pokémon. Using Pride III, it can evolve into a six-star Power Chicken. Using Pride IV this time should allow it to evolve into Blaziken.

　Dark took the Torchic out of his arms, placed it on the ground, and then summoned Pride IV.

　"In the name of Darkdemon, I summon—'Pride IV'!" As the magic circle lit up, Torchic evolved within the pillar of light. Its originally round, spherical body gradually elongated, eventually transforming into a tall, slender humanoid Pokémon—"Blizzard"!

　The "Blazing Chicken" is nearly two meters tall, with a V-shaped comb and a head of white feathers that look like long hair.

　Its eyes are blue, its claws are wrapped in gray bandages, its legs are strong and powerful, and its feathers are golden, like long boots.

　As one of the starter Pokémon, Blaziken also has a Mega Evolution form.

　In other words, this is not its end.

　Dark looked at the Blaziken, which had its arms crossed and a haughty expression, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

　Blaziken is a Fighting-type Pokémon with a strong fighting spirit. It excels at punching and kicking, and when it fights, it spews out scorching flames from its wrists. The stronger the opponent, the more intense the flames will burn.

　A punch delivered after flames erupt from the wrist envelop the entire fist can burn an opponent to a crisp.

　It also has strong waist and legs, and can easily leap over a 30-story building. Its amazing jumping ability can be described as "flying".

　Dark infuses magic to view detailed data.

　[Image: Blaziken]

　Card Name: Blaziken [Type: Spirit Card]

　[Level: o668oo8oo] [Race: Bird Beast]

　[Type: Fire/Fighting]

　(Magic: 4000][Attack: 5500][Defense: 3000)

　[Special Moves: Blazing Fire, Bodybuilding, Flame, Wave Missile]

　"Blazing Chicken" is a standard high-attack, high-agility type. Its defense is relatively weak, its magic power is average, but its attack is exceptionally outstanding.

　And its ultimate move...

　Torchic and Powerball both have Blaze, Resurrection, and Flare Blitz. However, after evolving into Blaziken, it only has Blaze left!

　"Is there no such thing as 'coming back to life'?"

　Leaving aside "Flash Charge", "Resurrection" is a god-tier skill for turning the tide when low on health, and it is truly a pity that this Blaziken did not inherit "Resurrection".

　However, the conditions for triggering "resurrection" are indeed very demanding. If a powerful ultimate move could replace it, then it wouldn't matter.

　Fortunately, the "fierce fire" is still there.

　v

　[Firestorm: Torchic gains a flame effect when attacking, changing its normal attacks to Fire-type. When Torchic's Spell Power drops below one-third, the power of its Fire-type attacks increases by 50%.]

　Blaziken's core ability is "Blazing Fire," which allows it to convert normal attacks into fire-type attacks.

　This "Fierce Fire" is essentially a fire-based enchantment skill. Dark infuses more magic to examine it more closely.

　Then he noticed that Blaziken's second special move was "Bodybuilding"!

　v

　[Bodybuilding: Blaziken tenses all its muscles to increase its attack and defense, up to 50% of its base attack and defense.]

　"Bodybuilding!"

　Dark's eyes lit up, and the slight gloom he had felt earlier vanished instantly. "Bodybuilding" was undoubtedly a very nice finishing move. Although its single boost wasn't as good as "Swords Dance," it could simultaneously increase both attack and defense by a whopping 50%, instantly turning "Blazing Chicken" into a melee monster.

　Moreover, "Bodybuilding" lasts longer than "Sword Dance," a full three minutes.

　Blaziken is a magical Pokémon with relatively weak defense. It can only dodge attacks by moving at high speed. To unleash the power of its ultimate moves such as Blaze or Resurrection, it has to dance on the edge of a knife.

　Although its appearance on the verge of death was quite flamboyant, Darke still leaned towards a more conservative style.

　He prefers "bodybuilding"!

　The increased defense from "Bodybuilding" is crucial for keeping "Blazing Chicken" alive with low health.

　Of course, after improving offense and defense, you still need corresponding offensive special moves to fully unleash their potential.

　Torchic and PowerChicken are quite lacking in that kind of special move. This Blaziken is different.

　Dak continued to examine the data.

　Blaziken's third special move is none other than a "fire attack"!

　[Fire-based moves: Blaziken attacks its opponent with flaming fists or legs, sometimes inflicting burns and making it easier to hit vital points.]

　The "Flame Moves" combine the "Flame Fist" and the "Flame Kick," and can also be used separately.

　Both of these special moves are quite powerful, belonging to fire-type fighting techniques, which can bring out the maximum power of "Blizzard".

　Finally, Blaziken has one last killer move—Aura Sphere!

　[Aura Sphere: Blaziken generates aura power from its body and then fires an energy blast at the opponent, which is guaranteed to hit.]

　“Let’s go!”

　"Aura Missile" is a powerful long-range finishing move in itself. However, in the face of "Wave Power," this finishing move becomes insignificant.

　The fact that Blaziken can use Aura Spheres means that it possesses Aura Sphere power.

　"Aura power" is an extremely special power in Pokémon.

　Its essence is a kind of spiritual energy.

　Humans who can sense and control waveguides are called "waveguide users". Waveguide abilities are diverse, but they are generally manifestations of mental power.

　The most common examples include "mind reading", "telepathy", and "healing".

　For Pokémon, this is generally expressed in the form of "Aura Sphere".

　Normally, Pokémon with "Aura Power" have the ability to detect auras emitted by anything.

　By detecting the waveguide emitted by the other party, one can read their thoughts and actions.

　By capturing aura, one can see opponents who were previously invisible. In other words, it's about "reconnaissance," "mind reading," and "breaking stealth." For Fighting-type Pokémon, combining "mind reading" with this ability allows them to anticipate their opponent's actions, giving them a significant advantage in battle. If Blaziken can master the power of aura, it can also achieve the same.

　However, this is only the power that Blaziken can obtain on its own. "Aura Power" is a mental power, and it also has another meaning. Dark flicked his finger, and a "mental fire" ignited at his fingertip: "Blaziken, use Aura Power."

　Blaziken paused for a moment, but immediately closed its eyes to sense, and when it opened its eyes again, it had already released its mental power!

　The "power of the waveguide" comes into contact with the "fire of the soul".

　Dark suddenly felt a thousand thoughts flowing into his mind along with that "fire of the soul," and in that instant, he and "Blazing Chicken" reached a state of spiritual communion!

　“Heart burns!”

　This telepathy is clearly based on a "spiritual bond".

　Through the contact of their spiritual powers, the "spiritual bond" between them was strengthened, and an effect of mutual understanding was immediately produced.

　If we could go even further...

　Will it trigger (Bond Evolution)?

　Thinking of this, a glint appeared in Dark's eyes. He had always wanted to use "Bond Evolution" to induce a Pokémon's "Mega Evolution." But he had no clue how, and now, after searching high and low, he had found it without any effort at all.

　By using "Bond Evolution" to Mega Evolve specific Pokémons, and then extending this to other Pokémons... and finally working backward to normal evolution, it might be possible to use only mental power to allow non-Digimon Pokémons to evolve normally.

　Of course, these are all just reasonable speculations.

　He hasn't even taken the first step yet, and the future seems far off. However, with Blaziken's Aura, there is indeed a possibility of reaching "Bond Evolution".

　The biggest problem at present is that the "Blazing Chicken" only has a 15-minute evolution time, which is not conducive to research.

　Even if it regresses back to a "Turkey"... it doesn't necessarily mean it can't survive! "Aura Power" is, after all, a mental power, and it focuses on a process of awakening.

　Blaziken and Torchic are essentially the same consciousness, and it's hard to say whether their spiritual awakening will disappear.

　Dark waited patiently for fifteen minutes until Blaziken reverted to Torchic before asking his question.

　But as soon as he asked the question, he immediately sensed the "Aura" emanating from the Torchic!

　This is clearly a pleasant surprise. It seems that Torchic has indeed successfully awakened its [Aura] through this evolution!

　Dark picked him up and released his mental power to communicate with him, and the "mental bond" between them was indeed strengthened again.

　Over time, his bond with Torchic will grow stronger, and maybe one day he will even reach the point of "bond evolution"!

　This was the biggest surprise he received today, besides mastering "Pride IV V".

　"It seems I'll have to spend more time with it from now on."

　Dark felt pleased and continued his research on "waveguide power".

　An hour later, he finally relaxed a bit, took out "Pride IV" again, and summoned "Flame Lion" for an evolution test.

　"Flame Lion" is a six-star Champion-level Digimon. Using [Pride IV] will inevitably evolve it into its Ultimate form—"Radiant Lion"! And the ultimate form of "Radiant Lion" is the sun god "Apollomon"! After Dark evolves it, he immediately begins to observe it.

　"Radiant Lionmon", also known as "GranLeomon", is a beastman-type Digimon, just like "FightingLeomon".

　It has a majestic mane and an imposing presence, making it quite intimidating at first glance.

　Unfortunately, like "Crescentmon", "Shiningmon" also has its divinity hidden and is far from being released.

　"So, it really does require reaching the Ultimate level?"

　Dark took a deep breath and channeled his magic to examine the data.

　v

　(Image: Shining Lion Beast)

　Card Name: Radiant Lion Beast [Type: Spirit Card]

　[Level: 80868] [Race: Bird Beast]

　[Attribute: Light/Fire] [Magic Power: 4500] [Attack: 5000] [Defense: 4000]

　[Ultimate Techniques: Crimson Beast King Wave, Crimson Lion Dance, Purifying Roar, Healing Flame]

　Not surprisingly.

　"Radiant Lion Beast" has a nine-star rating and is a Light and Fire type. Its magic attack and defense stats are slightly higher than the nine-star "Crescent Beast".

　However, the difference between the two is very small, with only a difference of one or two hundred in each attribute.

　Let's look at the ultimate move.

　"Shining Lion Beast's" ultimate move is characterized by its simplicity and brutality.

　Its first finishing move is "Crimson Beast King Wave," a finishing move that wouldn't seem out of place even if renamed "Crimson Beast King Fist."

　It's no wonder they're both Leomon; they all start with Beast King Fist.

　v

　[Crimson King Wave: Shining Lionmon concentrates flames in its fist and releases a lion-shaped energy wave.]

　The power of the "Crimson Beast King Wave" needs no further explanation.

　"Shining Lion's" next special attack is "Red Lion Dance".

　[Red Lion Dance: Shining Lion gathers flames on its limbs, combining high-speed punches and kicks to unleash a rapid, continuous barrage of attacks on its target, resembling a chaotic brawl.]
