Chapter 544: Shine! The Light of Evolution!
In Ma Zhide's opinion, Heath's Charmeleon has accumulated sufficient strength, and all it needs is an opportunity...
No, there didn't even need an opportunity. Ma Zhide walked over curiously and looked at the Charmeleon in front of him, then pinched its head and belly. Then he looked at the Charmeleon in front of Heath with surprise. This had never happened to the Charmeleon he had bred. No, it should be said that none of the Pokémon he had bred had ever had such a situation .
This made old man Ma Zhide look a little puzzled, and this confused look also caught the attention of Heath, who cared very much about his Pokémon.
"What's wrong? Grandpa Ma Zhide?" Heath looked at Grandpa Ma Zhide in confusion. In fact, Heath had not given Charmeleon any Fire Stones during this period. After all, Heath had better things here, such as magical candies and those weird candies. These were the reasons why Heath had the confidence to do so. After all, no matter whether it was candy or anything else, none of them were as effective as the candies Heath had obtained. In Heath's view, eating Fire Stones might be a way to improve special attack, but Heath had special attack candies and did not need any Fire Stones at all. What's more, Heath also got some of Charmeleon's candies, so Charmeleon's strength was very strong now.
Heath even felt that even Dantei's Charmeleon might not be as strong as his own Charmeleon, but this strength was only reflected in the numbers. If it was a battle, Heath felt that he was not Dantei's opponent. After all, Heath didn't know much about fighting. After he came to this world, he only participated in a gym assessment once to meet Charmeleon's requirements, and then got his only badge. After that, unless Charmeleon really wanted to go, Heath would not consider it.
People always have this or that idea, but in Heath's opinion, he came to this world just to see everything in this world and those strange social rumors. Although being a trainer is not bad, Heath is not very interested in being a trainer.
"No, your Charmeleon... seems to be resisting evolution?" Old man Ma Zhide looked at the Charmeleon in front of him and was a little surprised. This kind of thing was really rare.
You should know that generally speaking, Pokémon cannot resist the temptation of evolution. Every evolution of life is the greatest miracle in the world, and it is also a miracle of Pokémon. Every Pokémon cannot resist the temptation of evolution, because evolution means that it can become a stronger self. Every evolution of a Pokémon's racial value will usher in a qualitative change, so many Pokémon are full of desire for evolution. However, it is rare to see a Pokémon that can obviously evolve but is suppressing itself from evolving.
"Ah?" Heath was stunned for a moment. He thought that Mr. Ma Zhide noticed that his Charmeleon was different from other Charmeleons, and was curious about how he bred it. Heath even thought of a reason, such as doing 100 push-ups every day, then 100 sit-ups, and then running 100 kilometers . But what Heath didn't expect was that Mr. Ma Zhide actually discovered that his Charmeleon was suppressing its own evolution?
This reminded Heath of Ash's Pikachu, but Pikachu is special after all. It will only have the urge to evolve when it touches the Thunder Stone. This is not the case with Charmeleon. Charmeleon will evolve into Charizard as time passes and its physique improves. It does not need any evolutionary means like the Fire Stone.
And Heath didn't let Charmeleon wear the Stone of Unchanging.
"Charmer?" Heath looked at the Charmer in front of him with some surprise. The other party still looked the same, without any changes. He was grilling his barbecue honestly. Even while grilling, he did not forget to exercise. The weights on his body were still there. He still looked the same, and there was no sign of evolution at all.
However, it is not ruled out that these weights are actually a way for Charmeleon to suppress its own evolution. Heath has discovered that Charmeleon's weights are slowly getting heavier during this period, but Heath did not care. After all, Heath knew Charmeleon's obsession with exercise. Although adding weights to the body is of no use in improving its speed, Charmeleon is still very persistent.
"Oh..." Charmeleon nodded embarrassedly. Heath's mouth twitched. It seemed that this little guy was really suppressing his own evolution. However, Heath could only understand the words of Grass-attribute Pokémon now, and could not understand the words of Fire-attribute Pokémon. Otherwise, he would be able to directly understand what Charmeleon meant.
"It seems that this little guy is really suppressing himself." Heath glanced at the Charmeleon, but to be honest, he also felt that there was something wrong with the Charmeleon. After all, generally speaking, the height of a Charmeleon is about 1.11 meters and 20 meters. If it is well bred, it may be 1.31 meters and 1.4 meters. However, Heath's Charmeleon is almost catching up with Heath's height. Heath is 1.78 meters tall, while the Charmeleon looks to be over 1.6 meters tall.
This was a little hard for Heath to imagine. If Charmeleon evolved into Charizard, its height would soar to a terrifying level. After all, Charizard was the fully evolved form of Charmeleon, and the strength after evolution was actually related to the accumulation during the Charmeleon period.
This is reflected in the game where some moves can only be learned in a certain form and at a certain level. If the Pokémon evolves prematurely, it cannot be learned. Therefore, some players who are motivated to battle will cancel the evolution of Pokémon until it learns the moves they want.
"Although the accumulation from the Charmeleon period can indeed make Charizard stronger, if this accumulation is too deep, it will also be harmful to the body." Ma Zhide said while looking at Charmeleon seriously. Charmeleon was a little confused after hearing it.
“It’s just like this spring. The harder you compress it, the harder it bounces. But if you apply too much pressure, the spring will be damaged and won’t bounce back.” Grandpa Ma Zhide explained it very clearly. Even the guests who were having dinner nearby quieted down and listened to Grandpa Ma Zhide talk about this less popular knowledge.
Not every trainer knows this knowledge.
The Fire Dinosaur instantly understood what Grandpa Ma Zhide meant. It hesitated for a moment and looked at Heath again. Heath smiled and nodded. The Fire Dinosaur then took off all the weights on its body and threw them on the ground with a dull sound.
Immediately afterwards, the dazzling light of evolution emanated from the Fire Dinosaur's body.
