Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Crackle.

Whether it was due to the absence of the Everstone's suppression or the Gear children's choice to obey, the Evolution Light finally enveloped their entire bodies. The luminance on the bodies of the two Gear children... grew increasingly powerful.

And, the golden sparks shooting from their bodies gradually transformed into blue ones.

This was the awakening power that Dream had spoken of.

Due to being in the Armored form and Soul Heart Form for an extended time, and influenced by the overwhelming strength of the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster, the Gear children began to exhibit signs of synchronization.

Whether this outcome was good or bad, even Dream could not be certain.

In its long history, some Pokemon had evolved into entirely new species through synchronization, like Dumb Hippo, which survived to this day.

Some were eliminated by nature due to failed evolution. Now, as for the situation with the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster and the Gear children, Dream could not conjecture.

Everything had to be confirmed after the Gear children finished evolving.

"Nan Nan! Nan Nan!"

A moment later, unlike the prior weakness, along with the jetting of blue sparks, vibrant and energetic sounds emanated from within the Evolution Light.

Very soon.

As the Evolution Light dissipated, the appearances of the Gear children post-evolution appeared before Fang Yuan and the rest.

Compared to the pre-evolution Gear children, the Gear Group now had an even larger, dark gray gear behind the right gear after evolution.

This gear, with 8 teeth, maintained the same rotation speed as the smaller gear in front, and all eyes and mouths appeared on the larger gear.

Put simply, if the Gear children previously consisted of two smaller gears, the current Gear Group consisted of one large gear, plus two smaller gears, making three gears in total.

As Dream said, after the evolution, the Gear Group indeed transformed all abnormal conditions into their own strengths.

The unceasing surge of power within both Gear Groups made it clear to Fang Yuan and the others that due to the long suppression of evolution, their strength had reached a level close to Master Level upon evolving.

Semi-Master Level.

That was roughly equivalent to the current strength level of the Mane Rock Werewolf.

"Nan Nan! Nan Nan!" Feeling their newfound strength after evolution, the two Gear Groups appeared bewildered.

"Kui Yi Yi Yi Yi Yi." On the other side, seeing the Gear Groups evolve safely and even become stronger, the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster immediately smiled.

All is well that ends well.

Fang Yuan and the other Pokemon all heaved a sigh of relief.

"Bwoo!!" "Waaah!!" "Bowoo!!" "Fwoo??"

However, what Eevee, Monferno, and the others wanted to know more was whether the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster could still enter its Armored form with the Gear Group.

If not, then Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster's strength might significantly decline due to this evolution.

"It probably won't work anymore." Fang Yuan thought to himself.

After evolution, the Gear Group should learn a new move "Gear Frisbee."

Using this move, the main body, the large gear, could launch the smaller gears spinning at high speed to attack. From this perspective, the Gear Group's body could still split apart, but as the Pokedex described, if after attacking the smaller gears take too long to return, the Gear Group will die!!

In other words, the large and small gears could not be separated for too long, a restriction that undoubtedly hindered the formation of the Armored form.

For this reason, the Gear children were reluctant to evolve as they didn't dare bet on whether they could still use the Armored mode after evolving.

"Nan Nan! Nan Nan!"

After evolving, the positive and negative Gear Groups were also eager to find out if they could still fuse with the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster.

They turned their heads unanimously to look at Fang Yuan, to look at the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster, with a resolute gaze.

It had to be possible!!!

Neither the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster nor Fang Yuan had thought to try so soon, because if it failed, it could significantly impact the Gear Groups. But the two Gear Groups couldn't wait and had already dashed out.

Without further ado, the next second, both Gear Groups split their six gears apart.

The pairs of smaller gears, much like usual, quickly fused with the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster.

Leaving behind only two barren large gears buffeted by the wind.

Large Gear: Alas, I also wish to fuse.

Small Gear: You take up too much space.

This whole process made it seem as if the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster was the true essence of the small gears, and the large gear was akin to a stepfather.

Then, the backyard of the research institute fell silent.

Fang Yuan and the Pokemon all stared intently at the Armored Magnetic Monster.

On the silver-grey body of the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster, similar to the fixtures atop the heads of Little Magnetic Monsters, large screws had one gear rotating clockwise on top and another rotating counterclockwise below, both spinning in parallel. The small gears continuously produced blue electrical energy, sharing it with the Self-Detonating Magnetic Monster.

The gears on both sides of the body were like this, as always.

The aura of the Armored Magnetic Monster grew stronger still— even stronger than before.

There was no significant change, except for the somewhat out-of-place large gears.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Because the Gear children's strength had improved after evolving, the Armored mode not only was unaffected, but its power level had also increased.

"Don't you feel any discomfort??" Fang Yuan asked worriedly.

He had researched the Gear Group species in depth because of the Armored mode.

If the gears in the Gear Group stayed apart for more than a minute, they would become extremely weak.

Even the strongest Gear Group, if its body parts were separated for over five minutes, would face a threat of death.
