Chapter 131: Mega Magearna, Enter!

Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Mega Magearna, Enter!

"Don’t need one?"

Sora was surprised.

After asking further, he received this answer:

"You mean... Magearna’s Soul-Heart itself already functions as a Mega Stone?"

"I see."

Now Sora understood.

"So Magearna turns out to be the same kind of case as Diancie."

When Diancie Mega Evolved, Sora didn’t remember seeing any Mega Stone involved.

Maybe there was one in the games.

But in the anime, Diancie neither required a Mega Stone nor assistance from a Trainer—she could Mega Evolve entirely on her own.

The principle behind it...

Sora felt it was probably similar to Rayquaza.

Rayquaza possessed a special organ inside its body called the Sky Emperor Organ, capable of storing Mega energy gathered from meteorites.

The key to activating that energy—was the move Dragon Ascent.

Likewise—

Diancie was a special mutation born from Carbink after countless years beneath the earth.

"Could that mutation work the same way?"

"Like Rayquaza’s organ..."

"Did a special organ evolve inside Carbink?"

Only because of that special organ did Carbink gain the possibility of becoming Diancie.

And Diancie’s Mega Evolution—

required mastering the move Diamond Storm.

"So..."

"How does Magearna fulfill the conditions for Mega Evolution?"

Following the same logic—

Sora suspected Magearna’s path could probably replicate Diancie and Rayquaza’s mechanism.

"Dii-dou~~"

Hearing her name called, Magearna slowly walked over.

"Wait..."

"Maybe I can just ask Magearna directly."

Sora asked whether she had sensed anything during the battle.

"Dii-dou..."

Magearna stayed silent for a while.

Then she placed both hands over her chest and said:

"It felt warm here."

Because of their Aura connection, Sora could directly hear Magearna’s thoughts.

At present—

he could already communicate with Victini flawlessly through tacit understanding.

Ogerpon was gradually developing toward that level too.

Volcanion could already speak.

And now—

even Magearna could serve as Sora’s translator.

"Warm?"

Sora suddenly thought of something and quickly sketched a symbol onto paper.

"Magearna."

"Have you ever seen a gemstone like this before?"

The symbol—

was the standard shape of a Mega Stone.

"This..."

Magearna seemed to recall something.

Then suddenly—she remembered the moment she had first been created.

"That one!"

"Lord Elephas once fused this kind of gemstone into my Soul-Heart."

"He fused a Mega Stone into your Soul-Heart?"

Sora sucked in a cold breath.

As expected—

Elephas was absurd.

Mystic Science truly ignored science entirely and only respected the word mystic.

"Yes."

"Lord Elephas said..."

"...it was the key to unlocking the hidden power sealed inside me."

However—even Elephas himself had never achieved complete unity of hearts with Magearna.

Which meant—he had never succeeded in activating the hidden mode he prepared for her.

Her Super Form.

"I understand."

Sora decided to try activating it tomorrow.

Maybe—he could borrow a Keystone from Korrina.

A Keystone was the companion item used alongside Mega Stones.

Usually in the form of bracelets or watches.

But Sora felt—he might not need one.

The principle of a Keystone was simply using a Trainer’s emotional energy to connect with a Pokémon and activate the Mega Stone.

But I already have Aura!

Aura could completely replace the Keystone’s role—

directly constructing a bridge between himself and Magearna.

And so—

Sora and his Pokémon rested for the night at Shalour Gym.

The next day arrived.

After eating the lunch Korrina had specially prepared—

Sora requested a secluded training room.

Meanwhile—because the battle the previous night had been far too intense—

Shalour Gym would remain closed for the next few days.

Korrina’s grandfather stayed at the Pokémon Center to accompany Lucario.

Korrina herself took over Gym duties and hired workers to repair the battlefield—

including patching up the enormous hole blasted through the wall by Magearna’s Flower Cannon.

Sora felt a little embarrassed.

But Korrina waved it off.

This kind of thing was normal.

Gyms were challenged all the time.

Damage and repairs?

They were used to it.

"Anyway, Master, have a good rest."

"I’ll go supervise the construction."

"Alright."

After saying goodbye to Korrina—

Sora walked into an empty training field.

Shalour Gym didn’t have only one battlefield.

There were seven in total, ranging from large to small.

The one they fought in last night—

was the largest arena at the lowest level.

This one—was the smallest.

Located at the top floor of the Gym.

Normally closed to the public.

It served as Korrina’s family’s private training ground.

"This place should do."

Sora released all his Pokémon.

Amaura.

Sylveon.

Buneary.

And Lilligant, who was carrying the incubator holding the Pokémon Egg.

They all stayed at the edge of the field, watching from afar.

"Will this really be okay?"

Volcanion looked worried about Magearna.

So Sora had Volcanion remain nearby in case something unexpected happened.

Then there was Victini.

The little one’s role—was supplying energy to Magearna.

Sora’s Aura was still too weak.

Nowhere near enough to directly activate the Mega Stone inside Magearna.

"For the first time..."

"Great Victini shall help Sora!"

Vee looked incredibly smug.

Which immediately earned her Sora’s ultimate punishment—tickling.

A moment later—she collapsed into Sora’s arms with a broken expression.

"Alright."

"Let’s begin."

"Bini~~"

After fooling around for a bit—

Sora had Magearna and Victini prepare.

He himself stepped back to the Trainer’s position—ready to witness Magearna’s very first Mega Evolution.

"Bini?"

"Dii-dou!"

Magearna nodded.

Ready.

Victini reached out and placed her tiny hand against Magearna’s back.

BUZZ—!!

The next moment—

vast energy surged from Soul-Heart.

At the same time—a rainbow symbol representing Mega Evolution appeared.

Magearna’s body began to transform.

Within pure white radiance—her figure became taller and more elegant.

Massive gears formed around her waist.

From her head extended four structures resembling majestic antlers.

At this moment—

Mega Magearna descended upon the world.
