Capítulo 154: 154. Mega Evolution
Ash leaned back on the sofa, the warmth from the fire calming his nerves, but his mind was still racing. The strange connection he had with Pikachu, feeling its emotions and even sensing the tsunami through its instincts, left him with more questions than answers.
He knew the bond between a Trainer and their Pokémon could be powerful, but this was something else entirely. This ability to share consciousness, to feel what Pikachu felt, was both exhilarating and terrifying. What if he pushed himself too hard next time? What if Pikachu couldn't handle the strain?
"I need to figure this out," Ash muttered to himself. "I can't keep relying on luck to get through these moments."
He glanced at Pikachu, who was now curled up and sleeping peacefully by the fire. The little Pokémon had always been more than just a battle partner; it was family. But now, their connection was evolving into something deeper, something that Ash didn't fully understand yet.
Brock, noticing Ash's pensive expression, sat down beside him. "You okay, Ash? You've been quiet for a while."
Ash nodded slowly, still lost in thought. "Yeah, just... thinking about this connection with Pikachu. It's like we're more in sync than ever before, but it's also exhausting. I felt like I was pulling energy from Pikachu just to keep going."
Brock frowned. "That sounds intense. Maybe it's not just about training harder, but training smarter. You might need to understand this power before you push yourself too far."
Misty, who had been listening from nearby, chimed in. "Have you thought about asking Professor Oak or even other experienced Trainers? Maybe they've encountered something like this before."
Ash nodded. "Yeah, I called Professor Oak earlier, and he suggested I come to the lab for some tests. He thinks it's possible that Pikachu and I are tapping into a kind of shared consciousness, but he's not sure either."
Misty folded her arms. "That sounds like a good idea. Better to get a handle on it now before it becomes a bigger problem."
Ash knew they were right. This wasn't just about getting stronger—it was about understanding what was happening to him and Pikachu. He needed answers, and soon.
For now, though, Ash decided to let the matter rest. He glanced at his friends, grateful for their support, and smiled. "Thanks, guys. I think I'll head to Professor Oak's lab after we finish up here. But for now, I'm just going to enjoy the peace."
As they sat together by the fire, surrounded by their Pokémon, Ash felt a sense of calm wash over him. Whatever challenges lay ahead, he knew he wouldn't face them alone. His bond with Pikachu and his friends would guide him through.
Ash listened intently as Professor Oak explained the concept of Mega Evolution. "Mega Evolution?" he repeated, trying to wrap his head around it.
"Yes, Ash," Professor Oak continued. "It's a form of evolution discovered in the Kalos region, but it's not permanent like regular evolution. Pokémon can temporarily transform into a more powerful form during battle, but only under certain conditions. It requires a special kind of bond between the Trainer and Pokémon, much like what you described with Pikachu—though it's not exactly the same."
Ash thought about the deep connection he had with Pikachu, and how they'd experienced something different during the recent events. "So, are you saying that my connection with Pikachu could be similar to Mega Evolution? But without the need for a Mega Stone?"
"Possibly," Professor Oak said thoughtfully. "Though Mega Evolution requires a Mega Stone and a Key Stone to act as a medium, your bond with Pikachu might be something more unique, something that doesn't need these items but still taps into the power of that connection. I think you might be experiencing a rare phenomenon—an advanced bond that few Trainers ever reach."
Ash blinked in surprise. "An advanced bond?"
Professor Oak nodded. "Yes, a level of understanding and emotional connection between you and Pikachu that's deeper than most Trainers achieve. But it's still unclear what the full potential of this bond is, or if it even follows the same rules as Mega Evolution. For now, it's just a theory, but I suggest continuing to observe and explore it."
Ash felt a surge of excitement and determination. "I will, Professor! I'll keep training with Pikachu and see if we can learn more about this power. Maybe we can discover something new."
"That sounds like a good plan, Ash," Professor Oak said with a smile. "Just be careful not to push yourself or Pikachu too hard. Remember, this bond is special, but it could also be dangerous if not managed correctly."
"I understand. Thanks, Professor. I'll let you know if anything new happens."
"Good luck, Ash. And feel free to reach out anytime if you need guidance."
With that, the call ended, and Ash stared at the phone, his heart racing with excitement. There was a whole new world of possibilities waiting for him and Pikachu, but it was also filled with uncertainties. Still, one thing was clear: their bond was unlike anything he'd ever imagined, and he couldn't wait to see where it would lead them next.
For now, though, Ash knew it was time to rest and prepare for the challenges ahead. Tomorrow would bring new opportunities, and he was ready to face them head-on, with Pikachu by his side.
