The pink energy mist grew thinner and thinner.
Crack!
The cracks in the tempered bulletproof glass of the medical pod spread across the entire surface.
At last, unable to bear the strain, it shattered completely.
Tap, tap!
The sound of footsteps rang out.
A slender figure flickered in and out of view within the pink smoke.
Finally—
passing through the curtain-like haze, she appeared before everyone.
"Gardevoir?"
Himeko looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar Pokémon in front of her.
Her voice was filled with uncertainty.
The Pokémon before her looked ninety percent the same as Gardevoir.
It was just that—
the long, flowing skirt that had once draped from her lower body had become even more elegant and voluminous.
The half-heart-shaped fin on her chest
had now unfolded into a bright red heart embedded in her chest.
Her green arms had also turned white.
The noble and holy aura around her had become even stronger.
"She should be Mega Gardevoir now!"
Professor Boo picked up where Himeko left off.
When he looked at Mega Gardevoir,
his eyes were filled with excitement and satisfaction.
The research into Mega Evolution had produced an entirely new result once again.
In the Pokédex records,
a brand-new entry could finally be added.
Professor Boo turned around
and glanced at the genetic data on the screen.
The genes inside Mega Gardevoir had completely stabilized.
Mew's genes and the original Gardevoir genes in her body had reached a perfectly harmonious state of coexistence.
That had also allowed Gardevoir to obtain power far beyond that of others of her kind.
"Mega Gardevoir..."
Himeko repeated the words to herself.
As she looked at Gardevoir,
she subconsciously activated her Eye of Appraisal.
Species, type, level, status... all of that looked normal.
But the aptitude field
made Himeko freeze in shock.
Her aptitude...
was actually at the level of a Third-tier Legendary!?
This...
Himeko even wondered whether her eyes were playing tricks on her.
Otherwise, how could data like that possibly appear on an ordinary Pokémon?
And yet,
those three glaring words floated before her eyes,
constantly telling her that all of this was real, and not some illusion she was seeing.
She had never expected
that after Gardevoir resolved the genetic problem inside her body, her aptitude would also undergo a qualitative leap.
Taking a deep breath,
Himeko forced down the excitement in her heart.
Even though she already had a Pokémon whose combat strength rivaled that of a Second-tier Legendary,
strictly speaking,
the relationship between her and Shiko was still only one of mutual assistance and cooperation.
So,
the fact that Gardevoir had surpassed the limits of ordinary Pokémon
and reached the realm of gods
was what made her so excited.
After all,
compared with WarGreymon,
Gardevoir truly was a Pokémon she had raised with her own hands.
"She looks very powerful—powerful in a way far beyond ordinary Pokémon!"
Minister Kenjiro carefully observed her for a moment before giving a serious evaluation.
Although he did not have a skill like Eye of Appraisal,
he still had sharp judgment.
His many years as a Trainer allowed him to tell at a glance just how extraordinary Gardevoir was.
"Mew's genes have given her a brand-new power."
"If this Mega Gardevoir grows to her limit, she will be fully capable of matching a Third-tier Legendary!"
Professor Boo exclaimed.
As a professional researcher,
every word he spoke was extremely serious and rigorous.
Light shone in Professor Boo's eyes.
From Gardevoir,
he saw a brand-new direction worth researching in depth.
Just as everyone was still shocked and delighted by Gardevoir's transformation—
Boom!!
A sudden, tremendous commotion erupted throughout the entire research institute.
The deafening roar made people's eardrums ache.
Terrifying energy howled and ran wild.
What was happening?
The three of them all fell into a brief state of shock and confusion.
Only Mega Gardevoir frowned, her beautiful brows knitting together as she looked outside the room with a grave expression.
"Minister Kenjiro! Professor Boo! This is bad!"
"For some reason, the Pokédex has reactivated!"
"It's rampaging through the institute right now, destroying everything!"
