----------

Marcus stood stiffly by the side of the field, his eyes flickering.

Unknowingly, he had been drawn into Ash's unique passionate rhythm.

This feeling also made him rediscover the excitement he felt watching Pokemon anime in his previous life.

At this moment, he had put down all his tactics and just wanted to end this battle happily!

On the other side, Ash launched another attack: "Pikachu, give it the final blow, Thunderbolt!!!"

"Pi...ka...chu—"

"Buneary, use Dig... huh?" Marcus froze just as he was about to use Dig to avoid damage.

He saw Buneary's body light up with a speed-increasing glow again, and with a flash, it dodged the Thunderbolt, which had significantly less power than before!

"This is..." Marcus's heart suddenly raced. Vaguely, he seemed to hear something shattering. Buneary looked back and met his gaze, and then a brilliant white light suddenly enveloped it!

"Buzz..."

All the brilliance in the entire venue seemed to converge on Buneary. The radiating light intertwined with the shadows around it.

"It really evolved!" Brock said in shock.

"Huh? Is that strange?" Dawn asked.

"Buneary's evolution requires extremely high rapport and closeness with its Trainer... This means Marcus has achieved that..."

Roark took over the conversation, his gaze fixed on the tall figure in the field, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.

Clearly, this young man was just a new Trainer... He hadn't even been on his journey for two months...

Finally, the white light slowly dissipated, and a brand new Pokemon appeared before everyone.

Its originally small and cute figure had grown several times larger, becoming slender;

The creamy white fluff covering its belly had also disappeared, with only a small amount remaining concentrated on its legs, feet, and wrists;

Its eyebrows of the same color were wing-shaped and fluttered in the wind. A pair of large ears, comparable in length to its height, were covered in fluff and hung naturally by its sides;

Its pink eyes, paired with a cute rabbit lip and small nose, were clearly the evolved form of Buneary—Lopunny, a beautiful Pokemon that combined strength and speed, elegance and cuteness.

"Lopunny~..."

Lopunny gave a soft cry and stretched its limbs, seemingly not yet accustomed to its new form.

"Congratulations, Buneary... oh no, it's Lopunny~" Marcus said, the joy and sense of connection in his heart intertwining, finally turning into his unconcealed smile.

"Then, let me see your new power, use High Jump Kick!!!"

Ash stood ready and immediately ordered: "Be careful, Pikachu, Iron Tail counterattack!"

"Whoosh—Bang!!"

Before he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew, and Lopunny suddenly appeared behind him.

On the ground in the center of the field, several fine cracks had appeared at some point...

And at the intersection of the cracks, Pikachu had already fallen to the ground, unable to battle...

"Pikachu is unable to battle, the winner is Marcus and Lopunny!"

As Roark announced the result, the battle came to an end.

"Lopunny~!" Lopunny, its battle fierceness gone, leaped several times and tackled Marcus to the ground, its pink tongue constantly licking his cheek.

"Hahaha... Alright, alright, you've grown up but you're still so clingy~..." Marcus lay helplessly on the ground, rubbing its head.

"Lopunny~ (I want something delicious!)"

"Okay, you can have as much as you want today!" Marcus took out Moomoo Milk and Pokeblocks, while also starting to treat its wounds.

At this moment, Ash came over: "You're amazing, Marcus, I lost this time, but next time, I'll will win!"

Marcus looked up and smiled: "Nah, I'd Win!"

...

After saying goodbye to Ash and the other two, Marcus held Lopunny's small hand and carried Indeedee in his arms as he returned to the Pokemon Center.

Both the evolved Pokemon and the newly hatched one needed a full check-up.

Walking on the road, Marcus's mouth remained in an upward curve, not because he won against Ash, but because the evolved Lopunny gave him a huge surprise:

[Lopunny ♀ lv29 (Intermediate)]

Ability: Speed Boost [Moderate Awakening] (Increases its speed by 1 stage periodically during battle, can only be triggered 3 times due to insufficient awakening)

Talent Value: 480 (Has reached the species maximum of 480)

HP: 60, Attack: 110, Defense: 70, Special Attack: 40, Special Defense: 70, Speed: 130

Affection: 221

Held Item: Iron Ball

Newly Learned Moves: Fake Out, Sweet Kiss, Focus Punch, Mirror Coat, Magic Coat

Description: Lopunny that evolved due to the Trainer's trust and bond, possesses a perfect Talent Value that is one in ten thousand for its species. After evolving, it gained new inherited moves from its genetic information, and the Speed Boost ability has further awakened.

————

Its level is directly approaching the 30 mark!

After evolving, its Talent Value is directly maxed out, and it is extremely 'specialized', with a speed of a full 130!

Affection has increased significantly, and it has also learned a series of tricky moves...

Fake Out, which is guaranteed to go first and cause flinching; Sweet Kiss, which has a high chance of causing confusion; the powerful Focus Punch; Magic Coat, which reflects all status moves; and Mirror Coat, a bane for special attackers...

Undoubtedly, with the pre-allocated Talent Value, the current Lopunny has become a true all-rounder in Marcus's team!

It has attack when needed, speed when needed, control when needed, and looks when needed!

Furthermore, the move Mirror Coat completely compensates for its lack of long-range special attack ability!

It doesn't matter if my special attack is low, can't I just reflect your attack?

And it's a double reflection~...

Theoretically, as long as the opponent's HP isn't more than twice his, there's a danger of being reflected to death!

Marcus was already starting to fantasize about Lopunny sweeping the floor...

"Lopunny? (Marcus, are you broken?)" Lopunny shook Marcus's arm.

It always felt like its Trainer was acting strange...

He was smiling a bit foolishly.

"Ah... It's nothing..." Marcus wiped away the non-existent drool from the corner of his mouth and led it back to the Pokemon Center.

After handing Lopunny and Indeedee over to Nurse Joy for a physical examination, Marcus also opened the System panel.

[Ding, victory in an over-leveled battle, gained Universal Talent Value ×10!]

[Ding, Host has gained Pikachu's recognition, rewarded with master points ×10!]

[Ding, main quest 'Third Partner' has been completed, gained held items 'Power Lens', 'Heat Rock'!]

[New main quest 'Perfect Team' has been released, please check the quest panel...]

[Ding, detected that the Host already possesses a fully evolved Pokemon with max Talent Value, Talent Cultivation function updated, can choose corresponding partner to surpass species limit!]

A series of System sounds rang for a full half minute before ending, and only then did Marcus come back to his senses.

Immediately after, there was a burst of ecstasy.

He opened the System inventory and used them one by one.

First, he allocated the Talent Points to Indeedee.

As Marcus's ideal special attacker, he directly added 10 points to its Special Attack, bringing its Special Attack Talent Value to 105, successfully breaking a hundred!

The master points were just enough for one draw, so Marcus didn't save them and drew immediately!
