Spiritual Master of the Elf World

Under the bright sunshine, the ugly fish gradually shed its dazzling white clothes, and its body slowly grew longer, outlining a graceful arc.

The originally earthy yellow and bumpy appearance gradually became smooth and shiny, and the red eyes gradually revealed were full of agility and liveliness.

The fan-like tail covered with light blue scales gently slaps the water, and the splashed water drops reflect a colorful cloud under the refraction of the light.

Click——

Sirona recorded the moment with her mobile phone.

Menas!

The Loving Pokémon, with a single water attribute, is the evolved form of Uglyfish!

Known as the most beautiful Pokémon, it is also the protagonist of the real-life "Ugly Duckling" story.

"Woo——"

Menas made an ethereal and melodious sound like a flute, and the change in its appearance stunned the surrounding Pokémon.

Even Sirona took a while to come to her senses.

Ugly Fish. Has it evolved into Menas? !

It's no secret that Uglyfish evolve into Menas.

However, the currently known method for Ugly Fish to evolve into Meenas is to use "beautiful scales" coupled with "communication evolution."

Except for some wild Menas and some confused trainers, most Menas evolved from this.

And those trainers actually don't have a conclusion as to why Menas evolved.

Some say it's because of excellent training, some say it's because of deep feelings and deep bonds, and some even say they can't explain why.

No one has recorded those moments and processes of evolution, and there is no way to trace them back.

To be honest, even Sirona, who pays attention to the status of the ugly fish every day, can't quite figure out the reason for the evolution of the ugly fish at the moment.

Is it confidence?

Menas was also surprised by his evolution, but it didn't seem too surprising.

It just felt that the sweet dreams of those days finally came into reality.

"Woo~~"

It came close to Sirona and rubbed its cheek affectionately.

Sirona's Pokémon such as Sharptooth Landshark, Lucario, Eevee, and Roseredo also gathered around.

Looking at the beautiful Menas, everyone was surprised.

Even the aggrieved Huayan Monster beside him was lost in thought while looking at Menas and Sirona hugging each other.

After the joy of evolution, Menus got into the water and swam nimbly, with many water Pokémon following him.

"very nice."

Sirona's eyes turned into crescents when she smiled, she put her index finger next to her crimson lips and murmured:

"We should have some ice cream to celebrate."

"Should I have vanilla mint ice cream or strawberry chocolate ice cream?"

"Roar--"

Seeing that Sirona was caught in the "ice cream struggle stage", the Fangtooth Land Shark waved its claws at the Pokémon.

Let it go, let it go.

I probably won’t be able to make a decision before sunset.

"Kou Jie~~"

"Ooo~~"

Ghost Stone and Bing Liuwei looked at the photos of Menas taken by Sirona on Jinghe's phone and lost their minds.

What a beauty.

"Don't be envious."

Jing He rubbed Xiao Liuwei's head.

"When you evolve in the future, you won't be worse than it."

"Ooo?"

Really?

Little stars of hope appeared in Little Vulpix's eyes.

It suddenly started to feel a little eager to evolve.

"Kujiejiekoujie?"

What about me?

Ghost Stone looked at Jing He and patted himself with his paws, a look of eagerness on his face.

Jing He stared at it for a long time.

"Ah, the weather is really nice today."

Turn around and walk to the balcony.

Ghoststone grabbed the edge of the table.

“Koujie!!(╯°Д°)╯︵┻━┻”

Listening to Ghost Stone's "hysteria" behind him, Jing He couldn't help but bared his teeth.

Do you have no idea what you will evolve into?

Do you really want to evolve into Picoxi?

He used his mobile phone to combine the photos of the evolution process of Menas and the photos sent by Dawu of the Dou Li Mushrooms and their happiness after entering the ecological circle, and posted them online.

And attached a sentence——

People and Pokémon always have a beautiful side, right?

Sinnoh region.

"Evolved?"

Dr. Yamanashi, who had just returned from research, was surprised when he saw the evolved Menas and listened to Sirona's brief explanation.

Dr. Yamanashi is an authoritative doctor in the Sinnoh region, and his main research topic is the evolution of Pokémon.

The idea he raised was "Does evolution make Pokémon more mature, or more 'complete'?"

Not long ago, Dr. Yamanashi was actually studying Pokémon with Dr. Oak in the Kanto region. It was not until recently that he returned to the Sinnoh region when he discovered that the Sinnoh region has more mysteries and is worthy of in-depth exploration.

But he still kept in touch with Dr. Ohki.

Sirona, who was Dr. Yamanashi's temporary assistant, met Jing He online.

"Eating energy cubes, poffins and bedtime stories?"

No matter how it sounds, it doesn't sound like it has met any evolutionary conditions.

Dr. Yamanashi knew that Sirona had found a Pokémon psychologist online to try to make the Uglyfish become more confident and lively.

He and Sirona did witness the changes in the ugly fish.

So it’s confidence?

"Let's do a check-up on Menas first?"

Dr. Yamanashi said after putting down his bag, taking off his coat and loosening his tie.

"Um."

Sirona nodded and assisted Dr. Yamanashi in the examination.

After the end.

"All the values ​​of Milotica are perfect."

Holding the report, looking at Milotica playing with Pokémon in the pool, Dr. Yamanashi sighed.

In this regard, Sirona was very happy and relieved.

"Compared with the use of 'beautiful scales', the naturally evolved Milotica will be more mature, or more 'complete'."

"Hmm?"

"It's not that it's bad to use 'beautiful scales', but there are indeed differences, differences in cognition."

Dr. Yamanashi explained slowly:

"For example."

"Uglius evolved with the help of 'beautiful scales'. It gradually realized that it was beautiful in the praise of others, and realized that 'oh, I have become beautiful', and it would unconsciously divide part of the 'credit' to 'beautiful scales' and 'evolution', because these made it beautiful."

"And the autonomously evolved Uglius has realized its own beauty before evolution, and after evolution, it will take it for granted that I am beautiful, so of course they will praise me."

Hearing this, Sirona showed a look of realization.

One is passive gradual cognition.

The other is active self-cognition.

The final result may be similar.

But the evolution of the Mienshao with the help of "Beautiful Scales" requires such a process, gradually changing from passive cognition to self-cognition.

And the self-evolved Mienshao has established this cognition early.

That's why Dr. Yamanashi said that the naturally evolved Mienshao will be more mature and more "complete".

It is consistent with his concept.

This difference is not so obvious in other self-evolved Mienshao.

But it is particularly prominent in Shirona's Mienshao.

It is confident from the heart.

This also makes it more mature and "complete" than many self-evolved Mienshao.

"So. The condition for evolution is confidence?" Dr. Yamanashi murmured.

But how to make the Ugly Fish confident is probably a century-old problem.

"Shirona, can you give me the contact information of that 'Jingzhongzhihe'?"

"Hmm"

Shirona hesitated a little.

But finally nodded.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Yamanashi."

Jing He was a little surprised when he received the call from Dr. Yamanashi. After hearing the reason why Dr. Yamanashi called, the first thought that came to his mind was

You still say you are not Shirona!
