Back in Mahogany Town, Gary contacted Professor Oak directly, teleported Scizor back, and then teleported Magneton over.
The capture task issued by the system has been completed, and Magneton can also evolve, as the top-quality Thunder Stone has been prepared.
After teleporting Magneton over, Gary left the Pokémon Center and came to the public space outside to release Magneton.
[LV52 Magneton/Elite]
After not seeing it for a while, Magneton's level has not increased much. Because it joined the team late, its level has only increased by 12 levels.
"Magneton, it's time for you to evolve," Gary said, taking out the Thunder Stone that he had prepared long ago from his backpack.
As long as Magneton evolves with the top-quality Thunder Stone, its potential will be raised to Champion, and it can level up for a long time.
"Zzzt!"
Magneton immediately came closer, and Gary took the opportunity to place the Thunder Stone on Magneton.
Stimulated by the energy in the Thunder Stone, both sides reacted immediately, emitting dazzling white light, and the light of evolution was radiant.
Magneton's body shape changed rapidly, from the original body of three Magnemites combined together, gradually changing to a flat direction, until it became a disc and stopped.
The light of evolution dissipated, revealing a brand new Magnezone.
Because Magneton is a Shiny Pokémon, after evolution, the color of its body is a silvery-white metallic, the pupil of the middle eye is also blue, and the color of the three Magnemites under the body is a little dark red. Overall, the color is brighter.
[LV52 Magnezone/Elite]
"Huh? Why hasn't the potential changed?"
Seeing Magnezone's basic information, Gary was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why Magnezone's potential is still Elite after evolution.
"That's right, I used the top-grade Thunder Stone."
Gary thought about it and felt that the Pokémon Department Store would definitely not sell him fakes, as he had compared them before buying.
Compared with ordinary Thunder Stones and top-grade evolution stones, the difference in both individual and color is very large.
Gary frowned, thinking hard, and considered a possibility.
"Could it be that the effect of the top-grade Thunder Stone in improving potential is the same as the Bronze Crown, and is only useful for Pokémon with Elite potential or below?"
Thinking carefully, Gary realized that he had used evolution stones to evolve Pokémon.
Except for Magneton, the potential of the remaining Pokémon is basically Gym potential.
This is the first time that an evolution stone has been used to evolve a Pokémon with Elite potential.
When Gary guessed this possibility, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was correct.
But fortunately, it was only a waste of a top-grade Thunder Stone, and the props rewarded by the system were not wasted.
"Looking at it this way, if the system rewards evolution props, it will also be useful for Pokémon with Elite potential." Gary mused.
The Sneasel that was captured before had Elite potential.
After evolving with the Razor Claw rewarded by the system, its potential was increased by 1 level, which means that the evolution props rewarded by the system are useful for Pokémon below Champion potential.
"System, what kind of Pokémon is the top-grade Metal Coat you gave effective for?" Gary could only ask.
Although the system usually ignores Gary, it will still give an answer if it is asked about the props rewarded by the system.
[The props rewarded by the system, when used to evolve Pokémon below Champion potential, the potential level is +1.]
"Why didn't you say it earlier?"
The props rewarded before only introduced the amplification effect of the props but did not provide detailed information for the evolution of Pokémon.
However, the system did not give any response.
Gary took a deep breath and could only blame himself for his bad luck. It seems that he still needs to ask carefully when he gets multi-purpose props in the future.
Gary didn't want to worry about these things, so he looked at the attributes of Magnezone first. After evolution, it should be able to awaken a skill.
[Pokémon: Magnezone]
[Attribute: Electric, Steel]
[Level: 52]
[Potential: Elite]
[Ability: Analysis (After using the move, the power of the skill will increase.)]
[Skills: Tackle, Thunder Shock, Thunder Wave, Gyro Ball, Spark, Screech, Magnet Rise, Flash Cannon, Release, Metal Sound, Light Screen, Lock On, Electric Terrain.]
[Teacher Skills: Thunderbolt, Signal Beam, Rest, Hyper Beam, Gravity, Body Slam]
[Intimacy: 255 (max value 255)]
"Electric Terrain, it's a good skill." Gary nodded with satisfaction.
Electric Terrain can increase the power of Electric skills and prevent sleep conditions, which is a good field skill.
"Just stay with me for the time being," Gary said.
" Zzzt!."
Magnezone nodded. It was very happy to be with Gary.
Magnezone evolved, and the next step was to deal with Gyarados.
It had an intimacy of 75, but it would not get close to the Trainer. Before releasing it, it had to be watched by other Pokémon.
Gary returned to the Pokémon Center.
"Your Gyarados has been treated. Please accept it." Joy handed the Poké Ball containing Gyarados to Gary.
Gary left the Pokémon Center after getting the Poké Ball and rented an indoor venue. After releasing Blastoise and Alakazam, he released Gyarados.
Gyarados had regained consciousness after treatment.
When it saw Gary, it realized that it had been captured.
After all, there were too many fish in Lake of Rage, and many fishermen would come to Lake of Rage to fish.
When Gyarados was still a Magikarp, it ate a lot of food given by fishermen. It also saw its companions being captured by Poké Balls.
Because this Magikarp carries an Everstone, it has not evolved until level 55. Normal fishermen cannot catch it. It has long been the king of Lake of Rage.
"Gyarados, you are my Pokémon now. You should listen to me in the future. I will help you become stronger, and we can be friends," Gary said.
"Huh?" Gyarados was skeptical and did not believe Gary's words. It turned its head to the side and ignored Gary.
Gary saw that Gyarados had an attitude of resignation and knew that although the other party was not convinced by him, it could only accept its fate because of its strong strength.
"Gyarados, do you not want know why you didn't evolve?" Gary asked.
Gyarados ignored Gary and closed its eyes to rest.
"If you don't want to know, I can understand that you are in a bad mood, but if you want to know, then I can tell you that it is caused by the Everstone in the space you carry," Gary said.
Although there are indeed Pokémon that are unwilling to evolve, they are definitely a minority, and this situation is basically impossible for wild Magikarp.
