Pokemon The Mirage Of Illusions

"Oh. Is that it? I thought it would be actually expensive! That's a relief!" Amelia in all of her shonen likeness responds in a absolutely flabbergasting way that makes the surrounding people gasp again.

'....Did I just forget that we're rich?...Wait, if we're rich then why don't I have any held items?'

"Excuse me? Did you just say my custom Silk Scarf isn't worth anything to you? Now I've been very forgiving with you so far but I will not allow this disrespect to go on! I demand a Pokemon battle! When I win I'll be taking double of what my Silk Scarf is worth, which means a grand total of 200,000$!"

The crowd at this point is gasping at ever sentence and its even attracting the attention of relaxing trainers and other beachgoers. "Really? You just want a battle? I guess I'll battle you I need practice for the gym challenge anyway! But what will I get when I win?"

Amelia's easy going speech only infuriates the boy more as both him and his poliwhirl stomp their feet. "I'll give you anything you want! You can even keep the Silk Scarf for all I care! Just hurry up and face my wrath!"

As the boy says that he turn and stroms out of the incirclement and stomps off onto the makeshift playing area that Amelia was playing volleyball on. Walking after the kid we end up taking the opposite side of him on the area.

"We shall duel with one Pokemon and their shll be no items used except held ones. Is this acceptable to you?" The kid yells from the other side as I stroll up to Amelia and take off the Silk Scarf. "Sure! That's fine with me!"

"Then our battle shall begin! Go forward Edward!" On que the Poliwhirl steps up and into the arena while having a crown shaped rock on the top of its head. "Go on Kage!" By the time Amelia calls out for me I'm already in the arena and looking Poliwhirl over.

'Now hat I look at him I'm pretty sure he's above average for a Poliwhirl I think he's taller than he's supposed to be.' Upon seeing me size him up Poliwhirl puffs out his chest and looks down on me.

Nows aa good time to mention that I've once again grown all the way to three and half feet long which making me around the hieght of Poliwhirl though in my Eevee form that's not noticable in the slightest.

"Edward lets begin! Show him what's what with a Bubble Beam!" The rich kid yells out and the Poliwhirl named Edward complies and fires a stream of bubbles at me. Meanwhile Amelia slightly yawns and streches out her arm before saying. "Kage...Yawn. You can handle that on your own, you got it!"

I slightly smirk at that and use Dig to aviod the stream of bubbles. While I'm underground I hear the protests of the rich kid over Amelia's uncaring of the battle. While Poliwhirl is distracted I pop up from behind him and bite into his back with a Posion Fang.

Digging my fangs into the Poliwhirl It tries to turn around before the posion seeps into him and he falls over onto his side.

"W-wait what!?" The rich kid is perplexed at how easily his prized Edward was taken down and he starts to shake his fist. "I-I-I won't take this! I'll win this battle!!" The kid pulls out a....cube of sorts that he then throws.

'I should probably catch that...but I'm kinda intrested in how this will go.' Letting the cube hit the unconscious Poliwhirl he starts to glows in a bright blueish light and his rapidly changing form stands up and looks at me.

"I shall have your head!!!"

The newly formed Politoed rushes at me as soon as the light dissipates.

{Ways Of Evolution: Trading/Item Attunement/EV Empowerment}

{As you just saw in this chapter trading isn't the only way to evolve a trade evolution pokemon such as Politoed. To break it down trade evolutions can still occur but they now serve as a so of breakthrough evolution. When a Pokemon that can be traded for an evolution hits a certain level they reach a certain threshold which allows them to evolve via then energy given by your average trading machine. This is the same energy that is used when producing pokeballs that allow for the space time, world breaking physics a pokeball can have.}

{The other way for a trade evolution Pokemon to evolve is with the item it requires the energy from the trading machine would normally bond the pokemon with its item needed to evolve it and the item would disappear. While in an Item Attunement the Pokemon holds the item for an extended period of time slowly changing itself to mimic the items capability somewhat which then fulfills the condition for evolution, if its level is high enough of course. The main dfference with the two is that Item Attunement leaves the item mostly the same with a slight loss in ability like a Silk Scarf going from 20% increase to 17% but the item is still there unlike a trade evolution.}

{EV Enpowerment is simple. Let's say that a Kadabra wants to evolve into a Alakazam and but Kadabra doesn't have a trainer so no trading machine and it doesn't need to attune with an item to evolve. So instead the Kadabra trains and fights everyday against other psychic types and wins and win and wins. Eventually the Kadabra gets to a high enough level and refines its own energy production/ absorption to the point where its body need to evolve to keep up with its growth. That's essientally what EV enpowerment is! Refining your power until your current form isn't strong enough to keep up, its not found easily in the wild or in trainers since its very difficult but its by far the best option for evolution to increase your pokemons power ceiling.}
