Chapter 570: Empathy with Pokémon
In this way, the two of them continued to discuss until late at night before returning to their rooms to rest.
At dawn the next day, Yang Ming returned to the Refining Tower, ready to continue his practice from the previous day.
"Kairos, try mega evolution again."
"No, it's all because of me. Everyone was injured yesterday." Kairos hesitated, as if he felt guilty for his rampage last night.
"That's not your fault, and you don't have to worry about it too much," Yang Ming used the power of Evergreen to transmit a message to it, "Listen, failure itself is not terrible. What's terrible is that you don't have the courage to overcome it. If you keep avoiding mega evolution, then it will be difficult for you to move forward for the rest of your life."
Kairos was still a little hesitant, and at this moment, the Pokémon that were injured by it yesterday came over, but their injuries had been healed yesterday, and today they came to cheer Kairos up.
With the encouragement of many of his companions, Kairos finally plucked up the courage and used the power of the key to mega evolve again.
Just as the blinding light enveloped Kairos, Yang Ming used the power of Changpan again.
Ever since he had a long talk with Yin Yue last night, Yang Ming had an idea in mind: since Pokémon can easily go berserk due to the negative emotions caused by mega evolution, is it possible to use the power of Evergreen to share some of the negative emotions with Kairos, thereby helping it control the mega energy?
You know, the most powerful thing about Viridian's power is that it can "empathize" with Pokémon. Since he can use Viridian's power to understand Pokémon's thoughts and share Pokémon's vision, then as a trainer, Yang Ming can naturally use Viridian's power to share Pokémon's pain.
After all, the key to mastering mega evolution is to establish an important bond with Pokémon. If the Pokémon is just left to suffer alone while the trainer just stands by and watches, what kind of bond is that?
Sure enough, the moment Yang Ming connected with Kairos with Changpan's power, a surge of negative emotions surged towards him like a tide, anger, fear, and confusion intertwined, almost drowning him. Not only that, Yang Ming's muscles began to tremble uncontrollably, every nerve seemed to be burned by fire, and even his bones seemed to be falling apart.
"As I expected, mega evolution can bring about a huge change in the size of Pokémon, but this change will also bring pain. For Pokémon that have not yet mastered mega evolution, this process is very painful."
Yang Ming gritted his teeth, endured the impact, and tried to calm his mind. Although he suffered double pain physically and mentally, when he thought that the pain Kairos endured yesterday might be twice as much as his own, Yang Ming felt that the pain now was nothing to him.
Finally, after the light faded, Mega Kairos did not go berserk. Although its eyes were still a little red, it was much better than yesterday.
"Very good. At this rate, I believe I will soon be able to fully master mega evolution..."
Yang Ming cheered himself up and tried to stay awake. Since he had shared half of the negative energy with Mega Kairos, his eyes were now bloodshot and he was on the verge of losing control at any time.
"Really? I didn't expect you to come so early. I even prepared breakfast for you."
When Yin Yue arrived at the Refining Tower, she was shocked by what she saw - in just one night, Mega Kairos had solved the problem of rampage. Although it was not perfect yet, she believed that it would be able to completely master mega evolution in no time.
On the contrary, Yang Ming had red eyes and was ready to go berserk at any time.
"I'm sorry, I have a little problem with my body, and I need someone to 'vent' for me." Yang Ming stared at Yin Yue with his eyes, as if he was looking at prey. "There is no one else here, so I can only ask you to be my 'heat-releasing' tool..."
Huh?! Before Yin Yue could react, Yang Ming, who had lost his mind, rushed towards her.
After a long time, the two leaned against each other, breathing heavily, obviously having engaged in intense exercise.
"You're so rude. You asked me to have a Pokémon battle so early in the morning... I'm not even prepared..." Silver Moon complained while panting.
"There was no other way. The situation was urgent... I couldn't find anyone to help... I had to make do with you." Yang Ming explained.
"What? So in your eyes, I am just something you use for your own good?"
By sharing the negative emotions for Kairos, the mega evolution was not out of control this time. But Yang Ming, as a trainer, could not hold on any longer. Fortunately, the appearance of Silver Moon gave him a way to "vent". In a hurry, he decisively challenged the opponent to a Pokémon battle. After a fierce battle, he finally vented his negative emotions through fighting.
Now both of them were exhausted, and their respective Pokémon had all lost their strength and were lying on the side recovering.
"Then again, your progress is really fast. You have already prevented a mega Pokémon from going berserk on the second day. I guess you will be able to fully master the power of mega evolution in less than a month?"
Yang Ming raised his eyebrows: "Oh? How long does it take for an average trainer to master mega evolution?"
"It can take a few months or even a year. This is the first time I've seen a genius like you who can master mega evolution so quickly." Yin Yue paused and added, "Maybe you've already broken the record."
"Really?" Yang Ming didn't comment. He knew in his heart that he was not a genius. The reason he could learn so quickly was entirely due to the power of Evergreen. Other trainers didn't have such easy-to-use abilities. They could only master mega evolution through long-term practice and exploration. Naturally, they couldn't compare with him.
"I have to thank you this time. Without your help, it would not be so easy for me to master mega evolution." Yang Ming thanked him solemnly.
After hearing this, Yin Yue suddenly became excited: "If you want to thank me, shouldn't you also express your gratitude in some way? For example, give me some small gifts or something?"
"A rich woman like you still needs other people's gifts?" Yang Ming rolled his eyes at her. "But since you helped me master the mega evolution, I can't just not show my appreciation. How about this, let me teach you the Z move."
"Z move?" Yin Yue was stunned, "But I don't have a Z pure crystal?"
"I can lend it to you," Yang Ming said readily, "I have some connections in the Alola region. When you go there and complete your pilgrimage to the islands, you will be able to obtain the official Z Pure Crystal."
"Well, since you are so sincere, I will reluctantly accept your guidance."
Yin Yue readily agreed. However, she never dreamed that learning Z-Moves would be much harder than she expected.
