The Dragon Gate opened, and Milky Way Water cascaded down. The Pokémon belonging to the many Trainers entered the water one after another, while Xiao Ran held Feebas last and offered it some encouragement.
It was not that he favored Feebas, but this attempt at Leaping Over the Dragon Gate was simply too important for it. This was its chance to evolve.
By comparison, for Primarina and Frogadier, it was merely an opportunity to grow stronger. Whether they made it over would not matter nearly as much.
"Gurgle~~~" Feebas blew a couple of bubbles to show it understood, then plunged into the water and swam toward the Dragon Gate.
"Do you think they can make it?" Zuo Chi asked, patting Xiao Ran.
"They can. They definitely can!" Xiao Ran answered.
Feebas's injuries had all healed. All that remained was its depleted stamina, which really could not recover quite so quickly.
Still, that would not have too much of an impact on Leaping Over the Dragon Gate. The key was willpower—it all depended on how desperately Feebas wanted to evolve.
"Hey! You're trying to evolve Feebas, right? I don't think anyone's managed that yet!" Once the Pokémon were all on their way, Zuo Chi raised his arm and nudged Xiao Ran.
"Yeah. So far, there haven't been any cases of Feebas evolving into Milotic in the human world, so I don't know if it'll work either," Xiao Ran replied with a troubled expression.
So far, Milotic had only been found in the wild and in Secret Realms. Information obtained from Secret Realms indicated that it evolved from Feebas, but the method of evolution remained unclear.
Researchers could not make sense of things like beauty and the Prism Scale mentioned in those records, nor did they know how to obtain them.
