Chapter 872 865: Litwick's Evolution

A few days later, Ethan left Solaris City.

On this trip to Solaris City, he had captured Entei, but at the same time, he had also allowed Brandon to take Victini away.

After lending Entei to the League, his final gain was only a crystal lamp in which the fire of life burned.

After returning to Solaria Town, Ethan directly entered the research institute and began studying the fire of life.

After what happened in the Fire Domain, his determination to become stronger increased even more.

Vaguely, he felt that the Dark League would make some move next.

Victini possessed infinite energy inside its body, and the Dark League's actions this time had been far too targeted.

Under these circumstances, the Dark League undoubtedly knew of Victini's existence and of the infinite energy inside its body.

"The use of the fire of life, as expected, is best left to Litwick."

"The fire of life mainly manifests in two aspects: life energy and fire."

"Litwick possesses precisely the Ghost and Fire types, so it can perfectly absorb the fire of life. Moreover, through the power of the fire of life, perhaps it can replenish the life essence Litwick consumed and allow it to complete its evolution."

The research on the fire of life could basically already be considered complete. In fact, the League had already researched the fire of life before, so Ethan directly obtained the related materials from the Pokémon Researcher Guild.

Ethan looked at the fire of life in front of him and began planning how to use this legendary resource to increase the strength of his Pokémon.

Originally, he had thought of letting Charizard absorb this fire of life. However, Charizard expressed that this fire of life was not complete, and that its quality was not stronger than its own Solar Fire. Therefore, he abandoned that idea and instead began considering letting Litwick absorb the fire of life.

"Littwwiikk!"

After learning that Ethan wanted it to absorb the fire of life, Litwick began flying excitedly.

"Litwick, try it."

Seeing Litwick fly around the fire of life, Ethan encouraged it.

Litwick's figure stopped in front of the fire of life, and the candle flame on its head began to sway.

Afterward, Litwick could be seen turning into a burning purple flame and directly plunging into the fire of life.

On the crystal lamp, purple and red flames intertwined.

But that fire of life was as if it truly possessed life of its own and began to resist being absorbed by Litwick.

The two flames, as if they were on a battlefield, began a fierce struggle.

In the end, Litwick was the one who obtained victory in this battle, and the fire of life was slowly devoured.

Boom!

In the next instant, a dazzling white light suddenly erupted.

After devouring the fire of life, Litwick finally broke the restrictions limiting it and began to evolve.

Within the light of evolution, Litwick's figure began to change.

When the light dissipated, a Pokémon appeared on the field with a black lampshade-like screen on its head. Inside its glass head were two bright yellow eyes and a blue flame, as well as two long arms that swayed. It was precisely Litwick's evolved form: Lampent.

"Congratulations, Lampent."

Seeing Lampent constantly observing its new body, Ethan smiled.

According to the foundation Litwick had accumulated, it should have been able to complete its evolution long ago.

Only, because it had consumed too much life energy while training the move Substitute, its life essence had been damaged.

Now that Litwick's life essence had been repaired and it had successfully evolved, Ethan planned to search during the next period for a supreme-quality Dusk Stone for Lampent, so that it could complete its final evolution.

"Lammppett!"

Lampent happily flew around the laboratory.

After so much time, it had finally obtained what it desired.

"Try it. Use Substitute."

Ethan spoke. That move was the foundation of Lampent's strength.

"Lammppett!"

Lampent nodded, and its figure changed quickly.

In the next instant, a large number of Lampent appeared on the field, with the number not decreasing compared to before.

After using the move Substitute, those Lampent transformed one after another into flames that fused in the air. The Demonic Fire Shadow took form naturally.

After completing its evolution, it could clearly be felt that Lampent's strength had increased. The current Demonic Fire Shadow could already be considered powerful even within the Quasi-Elite level!

Moreover, it was unknown whether it was because of the fire of life, but the Demonic Fire Shadow condensed this time seemed to have a spirituality that it did not possess before, as if it were a true life form.

"It seems the understanding of the fire of life still needs to continue."

Seeing this scene, Ethan also obtained a general direction for Lampent's next training.

Although Lampent had now absorbed the fire of life, it had not yet completely digested it. It had only integrated it into its own flames.

If it managed to completely digest the fire of life and comprehend the mysteries of life and fire it contained, perhaps Lampent could also try to reach the Elite level in a short time.

"It finally succeeded. The fire of life really is wonderful."

At that moment, Alex also finished analyzing the data from Litwick's evolution, opened the laboratory door, and entered.

"It really is very wonderful."

Ethan smiled faintly. Although on this trip to the Fire Domain he did not manage to keep Entei, his gains were still enormous.

Through the research of the fire of life, it was very possible that they would find a method for Pokémon to break through the level of their life.

In the following time, Lucario, Cacturne, and other Pokémon that used life energy as their training path would carry out similar attempts, in order to complete a transformation in their life level and achieve another breakthrough in strength.

...

At the Solar Farm.

Ethan was reviewing the results of Cacturne's training.

Thanks to the research during this period on life energy, Cacturne's Growth move had also had another breakthrough.

At first, the maximum height Cacturne could reach with the Growth move was about five meters. Now it could already reach six meters, which was an enormous improvement.

At the same time, under the influence of the abundant sunny weather at the Solar Farm, the growth environment of the Grass-type Pokémon there was excellent. With the Grassy Terrain move maintained continuously, life energy was very dense.

According to the research of Professor Harris and the others, the Solar Farm was not only a sacred place for the growth of Grass-type Pokémon, but also a sacred place for recovery.

If an ordinary person could always remain there, by receiving the resources of life energy, their physical condition would also strengthen subtly. Their body would become healthier and be less prone to illness.

This was an enormous business opportunity! If they managed to promote it as a recovery place, they would undoubtedly be able to greatly increase the income of the Solar Farm.
