Every time a Pokemon evolves, it represents a qualitative leap in strength because evolution can not only drive the rise in species ability values but also level up, equivalent to a double enhancement.
This is also why many people around the world do not recommend letting Pokemon not evolve. Evolution is undoubtedly stronger than non-evolution!
If you want to rely on an unevolved form to defeat an evolved one, your talent must far surpass the opponent, coupled with more effort, that's the cost of wanting to become stronger without evolving.
However, some Pokemon's evolution, like Scyther evolving into Scizor, doesn't bring much change. This isn't really called evolution, more like a form transformation; one focuses on speed and attack, the other on defense and attack.
The reason Quasi-Gods are much stronger than ordinary Pokemon is because the enhancements brought by their evolution are more powerful. If the average Pokemon's evolution can increase ability values by one hundred points, then a Quasi-God can increase by one hundred and twenty, even one hundred and fifty.
With two stages of evolution, the species ability of Quasi-Gods is stronger than that of ordinary Pokemon!
But if ordinary Pokemon, like the Three Starter, can undergo a third stage of evolution, then the situation is somewhat different. The further the evolution goes, the greater the enhancement of abilities.
For example, the difference in total ability values between two hundred to three hundred and three hundred to four hundred, although both gaps are one hundred, the latter enhancement is much more substantial.
The MEGA Evolution discovered by Ash can allow Pokemon to evolve once more at the final stage. If this power is applied to Pokemon at the Champion Peak... what kind of scene would unfold? Even Blaine finds it hard to imagine.
"Let me test the enhancement brought by your MEGA Evolution." Blaine stopped his thoughts and prepared to verify Ash's MEGA Evolution power in combat.
No matter how shocking it is, the battles that need to be fought must still be fought!
Ash silently closed his eyes, connecting the power of Aura with Gardevoir—Aura exists within my heart!
A powerful aura burst forth from Gardevoir, the bond connection brought by MEGA Evolution, coupled with the enhanced physical strength after evolution, allowed Gardevoir to withstand Ash's provided Aura even more.
Before Ash's Pokemon reach Divine Domain Level, the degree to which they enhance their power depends on their body's ability to endure.
The stronger the endurance, the higher the enhancement.
Like Gardevoir, initially only at Professional Middle Level, after MEGA Evolution reached Professional Peak Level, and combined with Aura Power, it is not inferior to a general Elite Level!
This enhancement surprised even Ash because the previous MEGA Evolution did not bring such a significant improvement; achieving a small level increase was already the limit.
Even with Aura Power added, it wouldn't reach Elite Level, but now Gardevoir's power suddenly rose by another tier, what's going on?
Ash recalled today's events and revealed an enlightened expression.
It seems Blaine mentioned that Gardevoir has Mewtwo's mental source inside, and Gardevoir can actually use that power.
It's just that the power is within Gardevoir's gene chain, and under normal circumstances, it's impossible to unleash it unless helped by Mewtwo, or... evolution!
Blaine believed Gardevoir was already in its final evolution stage, so besides help from Mewtwo, there was no other way to extract and use that power.
But in reality, Gardevoir can still evolve, and it's the kind that evolves repeatedly!
With every MEGA Evolution, Gardevoir can stimulate the power within its gene chain, belonging to Mewtwo. Earlier, it couldn't trigger that power during the first MEGA Evolution.
Until now, the second evolution has extracted a small portion of the mental source in its gene chain belonging to Mewtwo, allowing Gardevoir to surpass in level.
Ash didn't expect such a coincidence, originally planning to use Gym Level forces to confront Elite Level opportunistically, with Gardevoir's agile and varied capabilities, along with the MEGA Evolution's species value enhancement, it's not impossible.
But now, having reached Elite Level, the battle won't be as difficult.
"Is this that power? Is this the power from you, Ash?" Blaine's insight is sharp; upon seeing the aura explode from Gardevoir, his attention did not immediately focus on Gardevoir, but rather on Ash.
His instincts told him that Gardevoir's enhancement was closely related to Ash, whether through MEGA Evolution or the post-MEGA Evolution power surge, it was all provided by Ash.
Ash nodded, not denying.
This battle was originally a showcase of strength, moreover, when facing Magmar in the final confrontation, Ash himself would have to step in, so there's no need to hide anything.
"Indeed, now let me see what makes this special ability powerful, Ninetales, use Flamethrower!"
Blaine launched the first attack, ordering Ninetales to use Flamethrower for a test.
Ninetales opened its mouth, the dense flame elements gathered inside, followed by a blast!
The scorching flames burned through the air towards Gardevoir; Ash merely moved his eyes slightly, and Gardevoir instantly vanished from where it was.
