"Mm."
Ye Qing nodded in understanding. This was much like Mega Evolution.
To achieve Mega Evolution with a Pokémon, you needed to understand them.
For instance, Gengar was mischievous by nature. If you failed to understand him or accept what he did, opposing him at every turn, forming a bond would be difficult.
Conversely, if you were perfectly in sync and appreciated each other, Mega Evolution would come easily.
The same applied to Garchomp. What Ye Qing needed to do now was learn about and understand Garchomp's inner world.
It was like making friends in real life. You chose like-minded people as friends so you could get along over the long term.
But you couldn't do that when catching Pokémon. Usually, seeing a rare Pokémon was exciting enough; who would stop to consider their personality? This also created problems for Mega Evolution later on.
And so Ye Qing stayed on the island for another week. During that time, Gardevoir also learned the two moves Hypnosis and Dream Eater from Xiao Nai.
After these days of consolidation and training, along with Yan Ji's frequent guidance, everyone improved to varying degrees.
Gengar and Garchomp reached level 54, while Gardevoir reached level 57.
Milotic also reached level 59. Although she hadn't participated in many battles lately, she trained exceptionally hard, refusing to stop until she was utterly exhausted each time.
Even Yan Ji was moved by her efforts, so over the past two weeks, she had paid the most attention to Milotic.
By contrast, influenced by the flower garden, Aggron had grown somewhat lax about training. In two weeks, he gained only a single level, barely reaching level 56.
The most pitiful of all had to be Slaking. Since the island was surrounded by the sea, the old fellow was forced to swim
