Chương 313: Isn't evolving during battle a privilege reserved for the protagonist?

Chaklo also knew a bit about Ditto, as Ditto could transform into other Pokémon and even use their moves.

However, "transformation" is just "transformation". Its essence is still Ditto. Due to its thin skin and low health, the Pokémon that Ditto transforms into are often more fragile than the original.

Otherwise, with Ditto's ability to transform, it would have been invincible in Pokémon battles long ago.

But Violet's Ditto seems to be quite different from ordinary Pokémon.

The Pokémon it transforms into seems to be a perfect transformation, much like the legendary Pokémon "Mew".

It seems that it has changed not only the appearance and moves, but also the Pokémon's attributes and abilities.

"I take back what I said before. It seems you really came prepared this time to win the title of Duel Duke."

I never expected you to have caught such a special Ditto, but Onix and I won't lose so easily!

Onix, use "Steel Tail"!

As if sensing its trainer's fighting spirit, Onix let out a muffled roar and swung its body, unleashing a powerful "Steel Tail" that slammed directly down towards Yang Cheng.

"Yang Cheng, use 'Megaton Punch'!"

Violet suddenly called out Yang Cheng's name because the latter had just used "telepathy" to tell Violet that it was a little strange when he called Ditto or the Pokémon he transformed into each time he transformed.

Because he was constantly transforming, the different names he used during battles could cause confusion, so Yang Cheng told Violet that he had given himself the name "Yang Cheng".

This way, no matter if he becomes a Ditto or transforms into another Pokémon in the future, calling him by this name will prevent confusion.

Violet naturally agreed with Yang Cheng's suggestion; it's common for Pokémon to have unique nicknames.

Although she didn't know why Ditto had given himself such a name, she respected Yang Cheng's choice.

"Steel Tail" and "Million-Ton Punch" collided head-on, and both Onix and Yang Cheng were knocked back by the other's attack.

Ash, watching from afar, was also excited as he saw Yang Cheng in the battle, saying, "Ditto is still so strong, but if Mr. Chaklo doesn't have any other tricks up his sleeve, this Pokémon battle might end with Violet winning."

Ash's words were met with agreement from Clemont and Serena, who were standing beside him.

However, Dorasena, one of the Elite Four who originally wanted to watch the battle up close, came over out of curiosity after hearing Ash's eloquent speech.

"I saw Violet chatting with you guys before, so she must know you guys, right?"

So you know something about the Ditto she uses, right?

Ash was taken aback when he saw the old woman suddenly talking to them, while Clemont and Nitra, who were beside him, already recognized who she was.

"Dora Sena, the Heavenly King —"

"Battle against the Duke—" Seeing Clemont and Nitra's reactions, Dorasena smiled kindly and said, "No need to exaggerate. I'm just an ordinary Pokémon trainer."

Despite Dorasena's kind expression, Ash and Serena, who didn't know her before, still showed extreme surprise when they learned that she was one of the Elite Four of the Kalos League.

"Yes, when we had the gym challenge at the Sandalwood Gym, our opponent was the Ditto that Ms. Violet is currently using."

Ordinary Ditto transformations are merely superficial, but Violet's Ditto's transformation was so convincing that even the Pokédex couldn't distinguish the real from the fake.

When Ash said those words, Nitra, who was standing next to him, took out his Pokédex with a look of doubt.

When they saw the Pokémon information pop up on the Pokédex, and it turned out to be Heracross, not Ditto, not only he himself was surprised, but even Dorasena next to him was surprised.

"But even if this Ditto is very special, and can even change its own nature and perfectly transform into other Pokémon, isn't it a bit too hasty to say that Chaklo will lose now?"

His Onix was exceptionally well-trained. Even if Violet's Ditto could perfectly transform into another Bug-type Pokémon, it wouldn't necessarily guarantee victory, would it?

Faced with Dorasena's doubts, Ash and his friends shook their heads. The Ditto's trump card was not its ability to perfectly transform, but rather its ability to transform into a Mega Pokémon!

"Mega evolution without Mega Stones or Key Stones?!"

As one of the Elite Four, Dorasena naturally knew about Mega Evolution, and she even possessed this power herself.

But when she heard what Ash and his friends were saying, she still felt like she was listening to a fairy tale.

To Mega Evolve, a Key Stone, a Mega Stone, and a bond with your Pokémon are all indispensable; this is common knowledge among those who have mastered Mega Evolution.

But now Ash is telling her that Ditto can transform into a Mega Pokémon without a Key Stone or a Mega Stone, which is just too overpowered and absurd.

Although she didn't think Ash and his friends were lying, Dorasena still couldn't believe that such an outrageous Ditto existed in the world until she saw it with her own eyes.

Perhaps Ash and his friends have never seen a real Mega Evolution, so they might have mistaken it for something else.

Meanwhile, the Pokémon battle between Violet and Chaklo on the field has entered a heated phase.

Heracross, which was originally a Pokémon, has now been transformed back into a red Pokémon with hands resembling crab claws.

Scizor is definitely among the top five Bug-type Pokémon in terms of base stats.

Because it is not only a Bug-type Pokémon, but also has the Steel type, it has an absolute type advantage over Ground and Rock-type Onix!

Using "Quick Strike," Yang Cheng instantly appeared in front of Onix, followed by a Steel-type "Metal Claw," which caused Onix's massive body to crash to the ground.

Onix Seeing the giant onix crash to the ground, Chaklo cried out in worry. Just when Violet and Yang Cheng thought the battle was over, a burst of white light suddenly enveloped the giant onix's body!

When Yang Cheng saw the giant onyx whose body was enveloped in white light, he also had a bad feeling.

And as expected, enveloped in the white light, the giant onyx's body began to swell and change—

"It's evolution! Onix evolved during battle!"

Onix - Steelix!

When Yang Cheng saw Onix's originally round head transform into a flat, saucer-shaped head, rising up in the smoke, he was utterly horrified.

To suddenly unleash a power-up during battle—oh no, to suddenly become incredibly powerful during battle—isn't that the protagonist's privilege?

This Chaklo looks all dark and doesn't look like a main character at all. How could he suddenly evolve like this? Isn't he deliberately trying to make himself stronger?
