A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

This light was not the energy glow it usually emitted when using its skills, but... rather, it was a deeper, more profound light, seemingly originating from the very source of life itself—an evolutionary light?!

The light was initially very faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, but it quickly became stable and grew brighter at a visible speed, gradually enveloping Gastly's entire body!

Zhang Heng's pupils suddenly contracted, and Mo Lao and the other researchers in the laboratory were also drawn to this sudden change, their faces filled with astonishment.

"This is... evolution?! At this time?!"

The dazzling white light gradually dissipated, and the energy fluctuations in the laboratory subsided. A completely new figure appeared where Gastly had been hovering.

The fully evolved Shiny Gengar has appeared!

It was no longer a volatile gas; its body was solid, exhibiting a strange and noble purplish-black color, gleaming faintly under the laboratory lights.

Its round body looks chubby, and its red eyes are like burning flames, with a hint of cunning and mockery.

His signature wide-open mouth held a strange smile that seemed to know everything and carried a hint of mischief.

Its disproportionately short arms and legs, connected to its body, and its short, pointed tail, make it look like a chubby, purplish-black baby with ill intentions.

It floated in mid-air, adjusting to its new body for a moment, and then emitted a series of low, unique "hehehe..." sounds.

Laughter echoed through the empty laboratory, filled with surprise and satisfaction at their new form.

Looking at the evolved Gengar, Zhang Heng suddenly realized that Gastly did indeed need to communicate with the user to evolve into Gengar.

This exchange of medical supplies using the teleportation device inadvertently fulfilled its evolutionary requirements, a truly unexpected delight. With a thought, the pale blue system panel quietly appeared in his eyes:

[Pokémon Name: Gengar (Shiny)]

[Attributes: Poison, Ghost]

[Level: 52 (Near-Heavenly King Power)]

[Potential: Champion level]

[Titanium Quartz Property: Ghost]

[Characteristic: Cursed Body]

A relieved smile spread across Zhang Heng's face. It's finally evolved!

In this way, apart from Duraludon, which has not yet fully evolved, and Dragapult, which cannot yet be fully considered his Pokémon, the core members of his team have received another significant boost in strength.

Gengar, as an extremely popular Pokémon, has a very distinctive design.

Although its total base stats are not high, at only 500 points, its Speed ​​and Special Attack stats are exceptionally good.

What's even more remarkable is its comprehensive skill pool, making it a highly qualified high-speed special attacker. In the future, it can fully assume the key role of forcing a one-for-one trade or breaking through special attack limits in the team.

Moreover, similar to Charizard, Gengar is also a Pokémon with both Mega Evolution and Gigantamax evolution systems, possessing great potential and a promising future.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

As if to celebrate this moment, a series of crisp, rapid-fire sounds of Poké Balls activating came from Zhang Heng's waist.

Several white lights flashed one after another, and Swampert, Altaria, Charizard, and Dragapult, which had been hiding in Zhang Heng's shadow, all made their appearance.

The laboratory suddenly became lively.

They gathered around, their eyes all focused on the newly evolved Gengar.

Swampert let out a deep roar and gently touched Gengar with its thick arm;

The Tanabata bird utters a melodious song as it flies around the Gengar, its white wings stirring up a gentle breeze.

The fire-breathing dragon spews out two wisps of sparks from its nostrils, and the flames on its tail leap merrily, serving as its unique greeting.

Doronchi peeked out from the shadows, curiously examining his familiar companion.

The Pokémon were reunited after a long separation, and the air was filled with joy and warmth as they expressed their congratulations on Gengar's evolution in their own ways.

However, Gengar, having completed its evolution, seems to be in a rather unusual state.

Instead of immediately joining in the celebrations, it kept its red eyes fixed on its trainer, Zhang Heng.

It raised its short, stubby hand and repeatedly touched its round belly, its movements appearing somewhat strange, and the eerie smile on its face grew even deeper.

Zhang Heng was taken aback by Gengar's actions, then suddenly remembered a famous habit of Gengar—they possess the ability to store items in different dimensions and love to collect various items and hide them in their bodies.

Seeing the "malicious" gaze from his Gengar, Zhang Heng instantly felt a chill run down his spine, and for a moment suspected that Gengar wanted to stuff him into his extradimensional stomach.

He quickly spoke up to remind him, his tone tinged with helplessness and wariness: "Gengar, well... living things can't be put into the alternate dimension, understand?"

Upon hearing this, Gengar exaggeratedly pursed its lips, feeling somewhat speechless. Its purplish-black, plump body floated lightly behind Zhang Heng.

It expertly grabbed Zhang Heng's shoulder bag and began to take things out as if counting their treasures—it was Zhang Heng's entire set of beloved surgical instruments!

He took them out one by one, as if displaying some priceless treasures: there were steel scalpels, tissue scissors, hemostatic forceps, needle holders, dissecting forceps, and bone saws.

Gengar chuckled and stuffed all the gleaming surgical instruments, as if they were his beloved toys, into the alternate dimension inside his stomach, as if it were a bottomless pit.

Zhang Heng could only smile helplessly at the scene before him. It seemed that even after evolving, his Gengar still retained its peculiar enthusiasm for "surgical work" and its mischievous nature.

However, he noticed that compared to the two relatively independent gaseous arms of the Gastly era, the evolved Gengar has a more solid body, but its limbs do appear shorter and thicker.

Zhang Heng couldn't help but wonder, "Will this change in form create some technical... obstacles for its future dream of a 'surgical career'?"

Just then, Elder Mo walked over, interrupting Zhang Heng's thoughts.

With a tired but satisfied expression on his face, he said, "Zhang Heng, our mission here is largely complete. Your previous ideas about 'composite metals' and 'catalysts' were excellent and gave me a lot of inspiration."

"Next, I will use the remaining divine beast metal to try some experiments. If it proves feasible, your Aluminum Steel Dragon may become one of the first candidates to experience the results of evolution."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng was deeply moved and immediately expressed his sincere gratitude to Elder Mo: "Thank you so much, Elder Mo! This opportunity is invaluable."

Old Mo waved his hand and continued, "No need to be polite. As Zhang Guanjun instructed, you assisted the park in completing its mission this time. You can register here and choose a Steel-type Pokémon that we have carefully bred to take with you. The Pokémon here are all of excellent quality, so you can choose freely."

However, Zhang Heng looked troubled upon hearing this. He was currently still restricted by the system's "fire-attribute targeted taming mission".

While the Pokémon in this Steel-type amusement park are excellent, none of them match his current type requirements.

He took a deep breath, preparing to politely decline Elder Mo's offer...

"boom--!!!"

A violent explosion suddenly shattered the tranquility of the laboratory!

The heavy, specially made metal door of the underground research institute was blasted open from the outside by an incredibly powerful force. Twisted metal fragments flew everywhere and crashed heavily to the ground with a deafening roar!

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, a massive and ferocious figure slowly emerged from the breach, its heavy steps carrying it into the room.

That was a Mega Aggron!

It is more robust and powerful than its normal form. Its original silver-gray armor has become as dark as black iron, and the spikes covering its entire body are more ferocious and dense, especially on its shoulders and head, as if it were covered with an indestructible siege armor.

Its blood-red eyes flashed with a frenzied light, and its huge jaws opened and closed, revealing sharp white teeth. Its deep roar was like the friction of metal, carrying endless destructive desire. Every step it took made the alloy ground tremble slightly, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.

Immediately afterwards, a short man with a sparse mustache and a sinister look followed Mega Bossdora as he strolled in.

He wore an unpleasant, self-important smile that suggested he was in complete control.

Upon seeing this, Elder Mo was both shocked and furious, and shouted angrily, "Sixth Rat! What do you think you're doing?! This is the Alliance's top research laboratory. Do you know how many precision instruments you'll damage with this violent destruction? Who will take responsibility for this?!"

The short man, known as Old Rat Six, ignored Old Mo's scolding.

His small eyes, like those of a venomous snake, casually swept over the messy laboratory. Finally, his gaze, like a precise locator, locked onto Zhang Heng, and the repulsive smile on his lips deepened slightly.

He spoke slowly in a high-pitched, unquestionable tone:

“Son of the champion, Zhang Heng.” Old Rat’s voice sounded particularly jarring in the silent laboratory. “Come with me obediently.”
