After a while, Wallace and Roy entered the Gym.
As they chatted, the topic returned to Steven. Wallace mentioned that Steven had somehow found Metagross Evolution Stone and now possessed two Mega Evolution Pokémon.
There's still no news about Starmie's Evolution Stone, but Steven gave Lisia an Altaria Mega Stone and Key Stone.
If he didn't know Roy's character and knew that Roy wouldn't joke about something like this, he would have seriously doubted the existence of Starmie's Evolution Stone.
At this point, Wallace showed Roy a seashell bracelet on her wrist, with a Key Stone at its very center.
The current situation is that everything is ready except for the final push.
Sigh~~
Roy felt that Wallace's sigh was specifically for him. Seeing Wallace's distress, Roy knew that Wallace was going to call him "godfather" today.
"What would you say if I told you I have Starmie Evolution Stone?"
"You? I'd believe Daigo Steven you."
Wallace's words were full of distrust. Roy's credibility with him was basically negative. Last time, he was worried that Roy couldn't beat the Legendary Pokémon Man, but the Beast Man suddenly unleashed his power.
Finally, he and Steven pulled off a big stunt in the final match without telling me.
"Sigh~ Since you don't want it, I'll just give it to someone who needs it. It's such a pity."
Hearing Roy's affected tone and seeing the enigmatic smile on his face, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in Wallace's heart. Could it be...?
"Holy crap! You don't actually have it, do you, Roy?!"
"Who was it that just said Steven doesn't believe me?"
Roy mimicked Wallace's tone from earlier.
"What kind of jerk is Steven? We're the real brothers, I don't even know Steven."
Wallace didn't care about anything else; after spending so much time with Roy, his personality had been influenced by Roy and gone a bit astray.
"If you make a nice Growl, I'll give it to you. You know what I want to hear?"
"Godfather above!"
"Eh~~~"
Hearing what he wanted to hear, and under Wallace's expectant gaze, Roy took out the Starmie Mega Stone he had obtained from the S.S. Anne from his Spatial Bracelet and tossed it to Wallace.
"Next."
Wallace quickly caught the Starmie Mega Stone that Roy threw at him, muttering, "Why did you throw it when it was so close!"
But looking at the blue-glowing stone in his hand, Wallace's mind was filled with thoughts of: [Is this Starmie's Evolution Stone?]
Wallace quickly released his Starmie.
It's been a year! He can't wait another minute.
Roy scanned the area and found that Wallace's Starmie had reached level 72, a remarkably fast leveling speed.
Wallace placed the small blue spherical stone in front of the red gemstone in the center of the Starmie.
The ruby emitted a light, Starmie Mega Stone entered Starmie's body, replacing a teardrop-shaped gem, the Mystic Water.
The moment the Evolution Stone entered Starmie's body, Wallace closed his eyes. He could sense Starmie's location and its current thoughts.
Real!
This is a real Starmie Mega Stone!
Roy wasn't lying to himself!!!
So this is what Mega Evolution feels like?
Wallace looked at Roy with excitement.
"Why are you looking at me? Would I give you a fake one? Hurry up and try it, I guarantee you didn't regret calling him 'godfather' just now."
Ignoring Roy's teasing, Wallace stared at the seashell bracelet with the Key Stone inlaid on her wrist, racking her brains for a long time but unable to come up with any brilliant lines.
After all, Roy and Steven both have their own lines, so it's the only one who doesn't seem too low-class.
He can be a little low-class, but he absolutely cannot be lower-class than Steven and Roy. But for now, he can only think about it later.
"Starmie, Mega Evolution!" (Seeking Evolution Quotes)
Wallace touched the Key Stone of the seashell bracelet on his wrist, and the Key Stone burst forth with a dazzling light, shining on the Starmie.
As if sensing something, the Starmie simultaneously emitted an evolutionary glow.
Wallace looked with great anticipation at the form his Starmie would take after Mega Evolution.
Roy covered his mouth, afraid he would burst out laughing.
Lisia, standing nearby, curiously asked the other person why they were covering their mouths.
Roy only said that he was afraid he might not be able to hold on for long.
Can't hold it in anymore?
Both Phoebe and Lisia were completely confused.
You'll find out soon enough.
After the light of evolution ended, the Starmie, which usually floated in mid-air using its Psychic type, actually stood up.
The two tentacles beneath the opponent's body were transformed into long legs, while the two pairs of tentacles on its sides became arms, making the whole body symmetrical on both sides. The height reached 2.3m, and the leg length alone was close to 1.3m.
Having grown accustomed to using its Psychic type to Levitate in the air, Mega Starmie is still adjusting to its new body.
His two long legs wobbled unsteadily, his center of gravity completely off, his body twisted and turned, and he staggered several times, almost falling flat on his back.
Aside from becoming slightly brighter and having its upper body tentacles lengthen, while its lower tentacles have transformed into two long legs, the Mega Starmie remains almost unchanged.
"Ah, this..."
Wallace circled the Mega Starmie once. He was certain that this was his own Starmie, because the Key Stone allowed him to feel a connection between himself and the Starmie.
Is anything different? Except for those two long legs.
This is so weird!
"Pfft~"
Wallace looked at Roy, who couldn't help but laugh out loud, in disbelief.
Roy waved to Wallace:
"Sorry, I'm a professional. I won't unless I really can't help it."
Wallace seemed to realize something, came to Roy's side, and grabbed Roy's collar, but because he was not tall enough, he could only stand on tiptoe to pull it.
"Roy, tell me quickly, did my Starmie fail to evolve? Is everything we're seeing real?"
After laughing, Roy didn't say anything, but just silently looked at Wallace.
After waiting for two minutes, Wallace felt the strain of Mega Evolution on his stamina and let go of Roy's collar.
Wallace still didn't want to believe that his Starmie had evolved just because it had grown two long legs, but the scene before him forced him to accept it.
But Steven's Metagross and Aggron are both so cool after their Mega Evolution.
Just as Wallace somewhat dejected, he felt a hand on his shoulder.
Roy is at least somewhat considerate; he even knows how to comfort himself.
Roy, actually I'm still grateful...
When Wallace turned around, he met the gaze of his Mega Starmie, and the words he was about to say suddenly caught in his throat. It turned out that Mega Starmie had just put its hand on his shoulder.
Mega Starmie has now fully mastered walking on its own two legs, and it now feels full of power.
It even imitated humans, raising its two starfish-like arms high above its head and bending its elbows forcefully, trying to strike a pose that showed off its muscles.
Power!!!!
Wallace covered his face, looking distressed. Why was his Starmie acting so badly after its Mega Evolution?
Roy remembered the last time he saw a starfish that could do this was on the beach in Bikini Bottom, but that one was pink and a conceptual one.
