Many ambitious Trainers have attempted this method, and their actions are mostly the same—creating an energy-rich space for the Pokémon about to evolve.
However, the results indicate that the environment is just an inconspicuous factor. Pokémon, as incredible creatures, possess unknown and boundless potential within their bodies. The crucial test for successful evolution under “exhaustion” lies in various qualities of the Pokémon itself, such as willpower.
With strong willpower and comprehension, one can unearth their hidden potential. Mediocre Pokémon, on the other hand, can only become losers when exhausted.
Arriving in Lavender Town, Terrance simply wanted to ensure that Little Misdreavus wouldn’t have any hidden damages left behind in the event of a failed extreme evolution. Even if it fails, the rich energy around can promptly replenish it. The environment here, coupled with the Pokémon Center, can ensure that Little Misdreavus has to not worry about anything.
As for the saying “surviving after pushing to the brink of death,” Terrance acknowledged it, but when applied to his Pokémon, he dismissed it. Becoming stronger is good, but the health and growth of the Pokémon itself take precedence. The training conducted by Terrance also aligns with the will of the Pokémon and is only carried out after gaining their approval.
He is a Breeder first and a Trainer second. Even if Breeder is a profession included in the Trainer category.
“Go ahead…”
When Terrance gave the command to Little Misdreavus, it sighed. It was the first time it will be doing a “good deed,” and it believed that this experience would leave a profound memory.
In Lavender Town, Little Misdreavus floated in the sky, constantly flying in various directions.
In a small wooden house, a girl pouted, hugging a pillow as she wandered in the dreams. After Little Misdreavus came in, a trace of light flashed on its red bead string. The girl slowly relaxed, turned over, released the pillow, and lay on the bed like an octopus. The corners of her mouth curled slightly, revealing a silly smile.
Seeing this scene, Little Misdreavus showed a strange expression…
But this did not affect its actions. Nearly going house to house, Little Misdreavus played the role of a “Dream Master,” completely transforming from an “Illusion Master” that created terrifying illusions to bringing joy to travelers in Lavender Town.
Watching the elderly, youth, boys, girls, and young children smile in their dreams, Little Misdreavus’ expression became even stranger. This was different from its past experiences. The illusions it used to create were all terrifying, causing people to be pale and sweating profusely.
However, as Little Misdreavus watched the people who were smiling under its illusions, for some reason, there was a bit of joy in its heart.
After working for who knows how long, when Little Misdreavus returned to Terrance, Terrance noticed the fatigue in its eyes.
“Tired?” Terrance asked.
Little Misdreavus nodded and then shook its head.
“In that case, let’s try a little harder. Come on.” Terrance encouraged Little Misdreavus, who then turned and flew out again.
This time, Terrance followed behind Little Misdreavus, witnessing it fly out of one house after another, and then entering again. Finally, as Little Misdreavus’s flight began to wobble, Terrance quickly ran forward, lifted it up, and looked at it seriously.
“You’ve worked hard…”
The actions in the middle of the night, whether in energy or physical strength, exceeded Little Misdreavus’s limits. It was more complex and difficult than battles, and Terrance’s colossal task posed a huge challenge for Little Misdreavus.
Fortunately, in order to evolve, Little Misdreavus did not disappoint Terrance’s expectations. It gritted its teeth and persisted, and looking at Little Misdreavus with some heartache and satisfaction, Terrance smiled and took out the Dusk Stone.
After making Little Misdreavus do so many things different from before, Terrance wondered how its personality had changed. Akon’s calculations might be flawed, and whether Little Misdreavus could withstand its current state and successfully evolve—all these questions plagued Terrance’s mind.
“You’ve been looking forward to this for a long time, haven’t you, Little Misdreavus? I’ve prepared so much, but it’s only to make you more reliable and outstanding after evolution.”
“But whether you can evolve successfully depends on your own perseverance. Don’t burden yourself too much. Believe in yourself, and unearth your hidden potential. Whatever happens, I’m still here for you. I am your Trainer.” Terrance handed over the Dusk Stone while observing Little Misdreavus’s eyes.
Although filled with immense fatigue, he could see a hint of longing and determination in its eyes.
There was a desire for strength, and the influence of the senior “Illusion Masters”, which has long fueled a yearning within Little Misdreavus to take that step towards a higher level.
The Dusk Stone, as black as the night, blended perfectly with the darkness on this night. When Little Misdreavus touched it, a glimmer of light flashed in the night, and Little Misdreavus brought a trace of radiance to the night.
The rich energy sealed in the Dusk Stone began to flow towards Little Misdreavus. The laws of the entire stone gradually shattered, and the energy was continuously taken over by Little Misdreavus. At the same time, these energies stimulated everything about Little Misdreavus, inside and out, attempting to change Little Misdreavus’ life level bit by bit.
“Misdreavusss~~” Little Misdreavus uttered a weak cry. Just now, it had exhausted all its energy creating dreams for people. Now, with little stamina remaining, as the Dusk Stone’s energy invaded its body, it felt like it was being taken over. Unable to control this energy, it ran rampant within its body, preventing the completion of the final step for evolution.
“Control them, and break through the barriers with this energy!” Terrance understood the difficulty of Little Misdreavus’ evolution. With minimal energy left in its body, it couldn’t naturally control the invading energy from the Dusk Stone. However, the energy from the Dusk Stone was acting on Little Misdreavus itself. If Little Misdreavus could withstand it with its own will, perfectly control this energy, and complete the evolution, the benefits would be unimaginable.
Pokémon that require an evolutionary stone for evolution have more “barriers” than those that can evolve on their own. It is difficult for them to break these “barriers” with their own power, but the energy of the evolutionary stone provides an excellent weapon, allowing these Pokémon to achieve the sublimation of life.
“Don’t let these energies control you; they will be your strength, under your command.”
Terrance held an flashlight. As the light of evolution flickered, Little Misdreavus’ expression became particularly clear in the dark night—struggling and unwillingness, yearning and perseverance. When the light of evolution flickered, Terrance couldn’t help but feel nervous for Little Misdreavus. Whether it could succeed really depended on whether Little Misdreavus could adapt and control that intruding energy with its strong will.
Just as Terrance watched, a magical scene unfolded.
