Pokemon: With Title System

Chapter 124 - In My Heart, There Is Only One Sun!

All three rewards were excellent.

Mewtwoite was self-explanatory, but Celebi's Blessing…

Honestly, Asahi wasn't sure what it did.

It had no description, but considering it came from Celebi—a Pokémon with the power to travel through time—it had to be valuable.

After some thought, he decided to pick Mewtwoite X.

There were two reasons. First, he already had the powers of Viridian Forest and Aura, so he didn't urgently need Celebi's Blessing.

Second, Mewtwo's creation was imminent, and he planned to interfere using Mew. The Mega Stone would serve as his ticket into that situation.

If he could bring Mewtwo to his side and unlock Mega Evolution… then in Kanto, he would be unstoppable.

Giovanni? Soon, he'd be the one deciding whether Giovanni could survive in Kanto.

Imagining this bright future, Asahi smirked.

"Which Mega Stone should I pick…?"

"Ee?"

Eevee peeked out from under the covers, looking curious.

"…When did you get in here?"

With a deadpan expression, Asahi picked up Eevee and tossed it back into its own bed.

Refocusing on the system screen, he made his decision.

He wanted both stones, but since that wasn't an option, he ultimately chose Mewtwoite X.

No particular reason—just that Mewtwo Y's battle style overlapped with Gardevoir's.

There can only be one sun in my heart—and that's Gardevoir!

"What do you think, Gardevoir?" Asahi jumped up and asked.

Gardevoir, who was brewing tea at the side, turned its head and gave Asahi a gentle smile.

Seeing this, Asahi felt even more convinced that his choice was correct.

Holding the Mega Stone, he muttered, "Now, the next step is to find a way to get involved with the Mewtwo project…"

Asahi leaned back on his bed, already planning his next move.

His private bedroom had a designated bed for Gardevoir, allowing it to guard him 24/7.

After all, as an International Police officer, he had to stay vigilant at all times.

At this moment, Gardevoir, having been rudely awakened, was staring at Asahi with a look that screamed "idiot" as he suddenly jumped up from bed.

Its gaze was clear.

Stop acting crazy.

…

Since Sabrina's call had woken him up early, Asahi decided to make use of the time and led his Pokémon in morning training.

"Whoo~"

On the training field, Dragonair's tail glowed and sent Shelgon flying.

Shelgon rolled twice on the ground but quickly got up, attempting to use Headbutt on Dragonair—only to have it easily dodge.

Frustrated, Shelgon tried to attack again, but Dragonair took advantage of its flight and swiftly widened the distance.

Nearby, a bright red Gyarados was training Water-type moves with Marshtomp in the pool.

Marshtomp shot a Water Gun, but Gyarados, unimpressed, fired a Hydro Pump instead, instantly filling the pool and causing water to spill onto the nearby lawn—much to the frustration of the Rotom Mower repairing the grass.

On the lawn, baby Lugia was lying down, learning how to enhance its psychic power through meditation under Gardevoir's guidance.

Perhaps due to being a Legendary Pokémon, its learning speed was astonishing, and it quickly grasped the technique.

The most diligent one, however, was Pidgeotto, tirelessly practicing Aerial Ace in the sky.

Meanwhile, Green, still half-asleep after being woken up by Blissey, looked at the scene with embarrassment.

Compared to Asahi, she felt way too lazy.

"Alright, that's enough for this morning."

Seeing that Green was up, Asahi called out to his Pokémon, "Everyone, it's time for breakfast."

"Today's breakfast is a delicious Galar-style curry."

Shelgon stared at Asahi with wide, expectant eyes.

Noticing Shelgon's sulking expression, Asahi chuckled apologetically. "Oh, I forgot you were here too. Sorry about that."

"..."

Daily emotional damage: 1/1.

As Dragonair and the others happily flew toward the dining table, Shelgon watched its companions enjoy their Galar-style breakfast, feeling deeply dejected.

But there was nothing it could do…

Sullenly, Shelgon trudged to the corner of the living room and lay on its Dragon Crystal, continuing to absorb energy to accelerate its growth.

Ever since evolving into Shelgon, aside from sleeping and training, it had spent most of its time absorbing energy from the Dragon Crystal.

As it inhaled the scent of food while absorbing energy, it fantasized about eating.

Then, suddenly, it felt full.

"?"

Shelgon, eyes closed, blinked in confusion.

Did I just master the "one meal a year" technique?

It carefully sensed its stomach… still empty.

Then where did this fullness come from?

Closing its eyes again to focus on the feeling, Shelgon once again felt full. This time, it didn't open its eyes.

The sensation of fullness grew stronger and stronger until—

A dazzling light erupted from Shelgon's body, instantly drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

"Eevee?"

Eevee tilted its head in curiosity.

Green watched as Shelgon's figure expanded within the white glow.

"It's… evolving?"

She widened her eyes in shock. If she remembered correctly, it had only been a little over a month since Bagon evolved into Shelgon at Rainbow University's cafeteria…

Weren't Bagon's evolutions supposed to take a long time?

Why was it evolving so fast?

This speed was almost on par with early-game Bug-types!

Asahi hadn't expected Shelgon to evolve in the middle of breakfast either.

Looking at the plate of curry he had barely touched…

He had to admit that the butler Gallade's cooking was great, but was it really that tempting?

The evolution process lasted for nearly thirty seconds.

The silver shell that had covered Shelgon fell off in large chunks, leaving only three enlarged silver plates protecting its belly.

Its once-gray body turned blue, a thick tail emerged, and a pair of blood-red wings unfolded from its back.

"Salamence!"

Asahi beamed with pride at the newly evolved Salamence. His daily encouragement and training had finally paid off.

Salamence, just as excited, ran toward Asahi.

Asahi spread his arms, ready to embrace it—

Only for Salamence to completely ignore him and dive straight for the dining table!
