I was resurrected and became a Ghost-type Pokémon Master.

Chapter 154 Mantis

I heard that Guihai has new research directions.

The few people present exchanged a barely perceptible glance.

They both saw great interest in each other's eyes.

So Fu Jing asked on behalf of everyone again: "Ghost King, we would also like to see some research on flying mantises. We rarely come into contact with this kind of thing."

We're just about to try Mega Evolution, so let's watch Scyther evolve and experience that life-altering leap it feels like.

Gui Hai was just waiting for them to speak.

When the Scizor evolved, only Fu Jing saw the edges and corners.

Everyone else only saw the evolved Scizor.

This is somewhat different from Guihai's goal of using experiments to dispel these people's concerns and strengthen their trust in him.

Now that I've explained Mega Evolution to them, adding the option of letting Scyther evolve into Scizor would further solidify my position in their eyes.

Strengthen their confidence in successful Mega Evolution and accelerate the experimental process.

Hearing this, Guihai did not refuse, but coldly instructed, "You can watch, but don't do anything unnecessary."

"understand!"

Gui Hai was the first to leave the lounge and return to the laboratory.

These people are all former prosecutors or dojo owners.

Even Fu Jing is a special member of the Alliance Prosecutor Team, so Gui Hai doesn't need to emphasize her discipline.

There's no need to worry about them causing trouble.

Simple preparation.

Guihai then released the second flying mantis he had brought earlier.

This Scyther is much stronger than the previous one, reaching the level of a gym leader. The moment it appeared, it wanted to attack the human controlling it and then escape.

The gleaming scythe slashed towards the sea of ​​demons.

However, Guihai remained motionless in the face of this attack, as if he did not feel any threat from the flying mantis at all.

In fact, they're pretty much the same.

Just as the mantis's curved blade was about to touch the ghost sea, its spirit seemed to be shrouded in some terrifying shadow.

His body froze on the spot; if the blade had moved just a little further, it would have pierced Guihai's throat.

But it dared not move forward even a little bit more.

Overwhelmed by fear, it desperately tried to escape.

Then he was hit by a bluish-green wing and immediately lost consciousness.

"hair!"

With its eyes glowing blue, it lifted the mantis, which it had knocked unconscious with a slap, and threw it onto the experimental table.

Ghost Sea glanced at his own shadow and saw that Gengar was sleeping while hugging the Ghost Stone, seemingly having switched places with Winged.

During this time, the two swords have been training continuously, and Gengar, Rotom, Mimikyu, and Vibranium have not lagged behind either, taking turns using the stone tablets every day.

He is becoming more and more adept at controlling ghost energy.

Gengar and Fluttershy are almost completely mastering the Ghost-type origin.

It just needs time to mature or a fierce battle to unleash its potential, and it could become a legendary Ghost-type Pokémon.

Withdrawing his gaze, Guihai commanded Zhenyifa to control the Flying Mantis.

Then put the metal shield on Scyther and return it to the Poké Ball.

It takes two steps to evolve Scyther into Scizor.

The first thing to do is to equip Scyther with Metal Coat, an item that can boost Steel-type moves.

Then they connect, exchange, and evolve.

Long Cang provided Gui Hai with a very complete set of experimental equipment, including instruments for connecting and exchanging devices.

Guihai looked at the Poké Balls in the research lab, about to randomly pick one to trade for evolution, when he suddenly caught sight of a group of "experiments" standing in the corner.

Guihai withdrew his hand from the Poké Ball and turned to the group.

"My current attempt requires a connection-exchange evolution. Is anyone interested in participating?"

As he spoke, Gui Hai swept his gaze across the faces of Fu Jing, Shi Lei, and the others.

It's clear that a few people are interested; participating in research on Pokémon evolution would be a very interesting experience.

However, every experiment carries risks, and the League and the Revival Association have different attitudes toward Pokémon.

They treat Pokémon as friends and family, especially those who come to participate in Mega Evolution research; they don't treat Pokémon as tools.

For a moment, no one responded. They looked left and right, their hearts pounding, but no one took action.

Seeing that they remained silent and did not press the matter, Guihai turned around to continue his experiment.

Anyway, the lab has plenty of Pokémon for experiments. He just wanted to give these people a sense of participation. Since no one was willing, he let it go.

Just as Guihai picked up a Poké Ball to begin the trade, Shi Lei hesitated for a few seconds before stepping forward: "Wait a minute, Guihai, I want to try."

Guihai looked at the burly man, thought for a moment, nodded, and put back the Poké Ball he had prepared to trade with Scyther.

"You've all heard of or even used trade evolution. I don't need to go into the details of the process; just put the Poké Ball into the device. It doesn't pose any threat to the Pokémon itself."

"The only problem is that if the Scyther fails to evolve and dies, there is no way to trade it again."

I need to release a Pokémon so you can catch it again, so Gym Leader, you need to choose a Pokémon you have a good relationship with, one that will choose you again in the worst-case scenario.

Shi Lei touched the Poké Ball at his waist and nodded: "I understand, and I have that confidence too."

"Let's begin. Put the Poké Ball in and then start the machine."

Guihai placed the Scyther's Poké Ball into the exchange device, stepped back a few paces, and let Shi Lei approach the device to place the Poké Ball into another slot.

Seeing that Shi Lei was about to activate the device, Gui Hai suddenly said, "I have a feeling that this time Scyther will become a Bug/Steel type. Are you interested, Gym Leader Shi?"

Shi Lei paused for a moment before pressing the start button, then grinned and said, "Let's see if this Gym Leader-level Scyther is willing to become my Pokémon."

"But even if you don't want to, it's fine. If your experiment is successful, Ghost King, I can start cultivating from the Flying Mantis."

Gui Hai remained silent, watching Shi Lei press the switch button.

A laser beam shot out from the connector above the instrument's groove, causing the red and white Poké Ball to float up and shake.

It then slowly descended, and the instrument returned to calm.

However, the exchange has already been completed.

Now, Shi Lei's Poké Ball no longer contains his Pokémon, but rather a Scyther.

The Poké Ball that Guihai put into the device contained Shi Lei's Pokémon.

Instead of approaching the Poké Ball containing Shi Lei's Pokémon, Gui Hai pointed to the courtyard outside.

"Let's go outside and release the Scyther to see how it goes."

Shi Lei picked up the other Poké Ball and his Scyther, and took them outside.

The Poké Ball opened, but the Scyther, clad in emerald green armor, remained unchanged.

Instead, he regained consciousness thanks to the medication in Shi Lei's Poké Ball.

But before the onlookers could even lament Gui Hai's failure...

A pure white light of evolution emanated from Scyther's body...
