Sure enough... the professor who had originally researched Mega Evolution now researched ordinary evolution.
That meant the conditions for Dynamax and Terastallization to emerge or be researched were not yet in place either.
"This field is far too difficult," Nishinomori V said with a sigh. "So many scholars have devoted themselves to it, yet even basic evolution still holds many uncertainties. Scholars capable of researching Divine Blessing Mode are rarer still."
Listening to the professors' discussion, Shen Qi was still thinking about the Mega Evolution timeline when he suddenly froze.

But... anyone who watched T1 Class world competitions would see Pokémon capable of activating Divine Blessing Mode. They appeared in T2 events as well.
Shen Qi scratched his head. "I really haven't watched many high-level battle events."
