A Very Big Bird

After Sato took out a dark-purple stone in front of everyone, they all couldn't help but think, Holy crap.

"Caw?"

Murkrow looked at the Dusk Stone in Sato's hand, and there wasn't much desire in its eyes.

As the child of a Totem-level Honchkrow, Murkrow could obtain a decent Dusk Stone from its tribe anytime it wanted to evolve.

But ever since it was young, it had been taught that evolving too early was unwise. Only after fully developing Murkrow's potential before evolving could it avoid wasting its immense talent.

When it was younger, Murkrow had been extremely curious and had even considered secretly evolving.

But as it grew stronger and could easily defeat most of the Honchkrow in its flock, its desire to evolve gradually faded.

And now, when Sato took out a Dusk Stone containing exceptionally pure Dark-type Energy and told it that it could evolve, a trace of urgency rose in Murkrow's heart after all.

If it evolved, it could become stronger...

If it became stronger, it should be able to defeat Lopunny, right?

"Caw!"

Murkrow raised its wings, its gaze gradually turning serious and fiery.

Seeing this, Sato did not hesitate. He directly tossed the Dusk Stone to Murkrow, which lightly swooped down and caught it in its beak.

The next moment, blue light completely enveloped Murkrow. Its somewhat slender body slowly became sturdier, while its size explosively expanded. In the blink of an eye, it had surpassed two meters in height.

Murkrow's aura, which had only just reached Pseudo-Elite Four Beginner, also surged rapidly with this evolution. Before long, it broke through the beginner threshold and reached Pseudo-Elite Four Intermediate.

As Sato watched Murkrow's transformation, he felt both gratified and expectant. This Dusk Stone had come from the Reverse World and was the highest-quality one
