The Path of a Genius to Becoming a Pokémon Champion

As the white light gradually faded, the Pokémon within had completely transformed.

Its overall color scheme was still red and white, but its body had become more slender. Its abdomen had narrowed, creating a smoother, more fluid line from its torso to its neck. Its wings and tail had grown longer, a third, longer horn had sprouted from the back of its head, and two pairs of smaller wings had appeared on its arms.

Old Flame's daughter was the first to gasp, "So beautiful!"

Without a doubt, this was a completely different Mega Evolution from Old Flame's, the other path known as Charizard Y.

Compared to the black and blue Charizard X, whose type also changes, Charizard Y, which retains its Fire/Flying typing, is actually more in line with the Charizard species' own aesthetic.

If the evolved Charizard X was like a color-swapped Arnold Schwarzenegger in the eyes of its kin, every muscle line screaming power, then Old Flame's mate in her Y form was more like a graceful and dignified Dragon Queen, embodying maturity, beauty, and nobility!

At this moment, watching the Charizard Y spread its complete wings, effortlessly summoning wisps of flame to circle its body without even using a move, Arthur let out a long sigh of relief. He felt a sense of a mission accomplished, that the money had been well spent.

Old Flame was so moved he was whimpering, unable to form complete words. This hesitation cost him the first chance to approach her.

Old Flame's daughter was faster. She flew up and threw her arms around her mother, nuzzling her head against her shoulder and excitedly licking the base of the wing that was finally whole again.

It tickled, and Old Flame's mate's wing trembled, opening and closing.

It had been a long, long time since she had been able to move her wings so freely.

After the mother and daughter had finished their emotional reunion, Arthur finally spoke. "Alright, now let's try reverting from this form."

Although theoretically there shouldn't be any problems, everyone still watched Old Flame's mate with cautious tension.

The white light shone again, though the light of de-evolution was much dimmer than that of evolution.

Her form changed within the light.

But to everyone's joy, the right wing was still there! It just gradually returned to the shape of a normal Charizard's wings.

A second later, the white light faded.

Old Flame's mate had reclaimed her perfectly intact pair of wings, exactly as they had once been!

The experiment was a complete success!

"ROAR!!"

This time, Old Flame could finally let out a mighty roar, with no more worries!

His mate had reclaimed her freedom to fly at any time!

Watching from the side, Ivy and Bianca also secretly let out a sigh of relief—the cash flow was finally stable. A joyous occasion indeed!

Meanwhile, while Arthur was busy with the restoration of Old Flame's mate, Bella, who had come to the Starlight and Frost team with him, was standing on the training ground with a troubled expression. Beside her, Justin could only offer a goofy smile.

"Why isn't that Arthur guy coming to the training matches? What on earth has he been up to lately?!" Bella grumbled for the umpteenth time.

To successfully trade for Arthur, Ivy and Bianca had not revealed to anyone that he would be taking on the role of a main singles player. The Sea Carp team didn't know, and even their own team's management didn't know.

Because spies were hard to guard against these days. Many of the leaks that came out before official transfer announcements were revealed by the clubs' own staff.

So, to keep the secret, they hadn't even told their own people.

This meant that not only was the Sea Carp team in the dark, but the newly traded Bella and Justin also had no idea about Arthur's promotion.

Bella had always assumed she was coming here to partner with Arthur—after all, the two little bosses, Ivy and Bianca, couldn't be split up, so who was left but her and Arthur?

But to her surprise, for the past few days since she had arrived, she had been training with the original Starlight and Frost team's substitutes and this new rookie from the Sea Carp youth camp.

It had been days, and she hadn't seen a single trace of Arthur!

This made her very unhappy!

To think I was such a big fan of yours back in the day! Now that you've got wings, you dare to stand me up?! Arthur, you're really pushing it!

Faced with his senior's angry complaints, Justin could only offer a nervous smile.

"Brother Arthur… he's probably busy with something?"

"What could he be busy with? How much could he possibly have to do? Back at the Sea Carp team, he took leave right after the first round of the playoffs! What could possibly take over two months to handle?! Hmph! Damn it! When he gets back, I'm going to beat him up!"

Beside her, her Luxray let out a "grrr," volunteering for battle.

Although this feline master was usually proud and often gave Bella the cold shoulder, cats have always been like that. No matter what, only she could bully her own human. If an outsider dared to be disrespectful, she would have to give that brat a good shock!

For once, the human and the cat were on the same page, united against a common enemy. This left the rookie Justin to just smile nervously, not daring to say a word.

At this moment, he was probably singing in his heart: Brother Arthur, please come back! I can't handle this alone!

But for a long time, Arthur did not return.

In October, the Starlight and Frost team made another adjustment, trading away the doubles substitute from last season and signing another rookie at a relatively cheap price.

This time, it was Arthur who had helped make the connection.

Because the one they signed was Kevin!

This boy from the Star Brilliance Alliance had now been in the Kubfu Alliance for a year. In that time, he had devoted himself entirely to the sport he loved. Although no youth camp had been willing to take him in due to his sensitive background, and he hadn't received any systematic coaching or professional training, he had, through his own passion and love for the sport, made a name for himself in various amateur leagues!

Over the past year, he had gained some fame, being jokingly called the "Amateur Pool Shark," a term for a pro-level player dominating amateur tournaments.

This was also the reason he had been able to participate in the All-Star Weekend a few months ago!

The All-Star organizers always claimed to randomly draw fans, but in reality, they always chose people with high visibility who could generate buzz. The so-called "randomness" was often worthless in the face of entertainment value.

Kevin had also been hoping to truly stand on the professional stage.

He had performed well at the All-Star Weekend, and many people had taken notice of him. But without the endorsement of a youth camp, very few clubs had actually approached him.

This time, Arthur had helped build the bridge. Kevin was very grateful, and Starlight and Frost was able to sign him with a relatively cheap contract, easing some of the pressure on their cash flow.

Everyone got what they needed. Everyone had a bright future.

Only Bella remained perpetually grumpy.

Seeing the club bringing in more and more new doubles rookies, was Arthur ever coming back?

Did he really not want his starting spot anymore?
