"Doctor, your research says that if Pokémon wants to evolve again, it needs a special kind of stone. Would you mind taking a look?" Xichen said as he flipped through Bratano's notes in the laboratory.

"Of course, wait for me." Bratano operated an instrument and then revealed a round bead inside.

"This is the special stone we found. I think it must be closely related to the re-evolution of Pokémon."

"It is indeed it..." Xichen looked at the bead in front of him, a light flashed in his eyes, there was no mistake!

Rainbow-like colors, with a streamlined pattern like a dart inside, this is the evolution keystone!

"We have tested it on all the Pokémon we could find in Carlos, but the results are not very ideal." Bratano sighed, "Besides, when this thing is placed on a Pokémon, it has no bonus at all, and there is no special mechanism."

"This thing doesn't seem to be complete. If you want to make Pokémon complete mega evolution, it seems that you need other corresponding things." Xichen looked at the Evolution Keystone and guided Blatano step by step: "Also, if it is useless to put it on the Pokémon, then this stone may correspond to the trainer, and what I just said is the thing to put on the Pokémon."

"Yes! That's right! That's right! Why didn't I think of it!" After listening to Xichen's words, Blatano fell into deep thought, then clapped his hands heavily, and then looked at Xichen excitedly: "That's it! This is what I need! I have been studying this stone for a long time, and I feel that it seems to have nothing to do with any Pokémon. No wonder! This is the stone that belongs to the trainer! So, since there is a trainer's stone, there must be a stone that belongs to Pokémon! But... mega evolution?"

"That's the name I gave it, Doctor. Don't you think the word 'evolution' is a bit too earthy?" Xichen complained.

"Mega evolution...super evolution, what a good name! Beyond the current level of evolution, beyond the evolution that people know, mega evolution! Xichen, this name is very good! Xichen, you are so smart, you deserve to be the youngest doctor in the alliance, we are all old~"

"You're joking, Dr. Bratano. Without your information, I wouldn't be able to deduce these things." Xichen smiled faintly, not caring about Bratano's joke at all.

"Well, Xichen, tell me about your theory. To be honest, from the time I started researching mega evolution until now, I haven't seen anyone support me except Professor Oak in the Kanto region." Bratano scratched his head, obviously embarrassed that his theory was not well received.

"Yeah." Xichen wrote something simple in his notes.

"First of all, the so-called mega evolution, in my opinion, requires two different ores, one of which is what you have now, Professor. This stone corresponding to the trainer, we can give it a name, let's call it the Evolution Keystone."

"A key that can unlock another evolution? Another good name~" Bratano smiled, "Then there are stones that correspond to Pokémon, right?"

"Yes, I have also studied your theory. Combined with the data I just sorted out, I can find that the remaining stones have different colors, which means that they look different."

"Different looks? That is to say!"

"Yes, it's just as you think. This means that they correspond to different Pokémon." Xichen said, "Different Pokémon must wear different stones to complete mega evolution!"

"So that's how it is!" Blatano muttered to himself, and then looked at Xichen in confusion: "Then what about the video you just showed me? You didn't wear the Evolution Keystone, but the way Garchomp looked at that time was obviously evolved again. What's going on?"

"That, I call it - bond evolution!" Xi Chen said leisurely, "And bond evolution is also a topic I have been studying recently. I think that when the bond between the trainer and the Pokémon reaches a certain level, the trainer and the Pokémon can communicate with each other and produce a bond phenomenon. The appearance of the Pokémon will change greatly, just like evolution.

With this phenomenon, Pokémon can fully unleash their potential and complete bond evolution. In addition, during the bond evolution process, the trainer and Pokémon are synchronized, which means that the trainer can also feel the damage done to the Pokémon. If the trainer does not master this power, he will be too tired or even faint. "

"No wonder you looked so exhausted after that battle." Bratano nodded in agreement: "Bond Evolution, this is the true meaning of fighting with Pokémon."

"Of course, whether or not bond evolution can be achieved still depends on the potential of the Pokémon itself. If the potential is insufficient, no matter how high the bond between you and the Pokémon is, it will be useless." Xichen shrugged, took a sip of water and continued.

"Also, I think that whether it is mega evolution or the bond evolution that I study, their essence is actually a kind of energy accumulation and the breaking of boundaries."

"Energy accumulation? Breaking boundaries?" Bratano carefully savored the words Xichen said.

"What this means is that mega evolution, or bond evolution, can only occur on Pokémon that have evolved to their final form. In other words, they are mature individuals. Whether it is secondary or tertiary evolution, they must be mature individuals."

"Why is this?" This part of the theory has not been discovered by Bratano yet. Xichen's proposal now will undoubtedly greatly speed up Bratano's research.

"It's very simple, because the evolution of an individual is a process of continuous maturation. If it has not evolved to the highest level, the maturity of the individual will not reach its peak. At this time, even if it has the power of mega evolution, it will be useless. It will only allow the individual to evolve to the next level where it should be mature, and it will not show a boundary-breaking mega evolution form." Xichen explained lightly.

"Of course, this theory is not perfect yet. In fact, it remains to be considered whether the use of Evolution Stones is to continue to accumulate the energy of the Stones or simply to change the species. In addition, whether Mega Evolution necessarily requires Evolution Key Stones as a medium also needs to be studied."

Bratano nodded when he heard this. Indeed, even if the theory is correct, if the result is still wrong, then these theories are just empty talk.

"Okay, the theory is over, now it's time to put it into practice!"
