"But, if we're talking about six Elite-level Pokémon..."
Ethan reflected for a moment, took out his notebook, and reviewed the situation of several Pokémon.
After their strength approached the Elite level, it could be said that this was a great dividing point for all his Pokémon. To cross that threshold, both talent and opportunity were indispensable.
Currently, within his team, the Pokémon that had truly reached the Elite level were Melmetal and Lucario. The others were still stuck at the Quasi-Elite level.
However, Pokémon like Totem Sandslash, Flygon with Rayquaza's scale, Mega Charizard Y, Mega Garchomp, and Totem Kommo-o, with the help of external factors, could already face Elite-level Pokémon with difficulty.
If the tactics were used well and they also had type advantages, it was not impossible to defeat some weaker Elite-level Pokémon.
Besides that, he now already had Tyranitar's and Slowbro's Mega Stones in his hands. With the help of those two Mega Stones, it was not impossible for Tyranitar and Slowking to also enter the Elite level.
"It seems that from now on, I'll be busy again."
Ethan took a deep breath, stood up, and said goodbye to President Beckett. He planned to return to Solaria Town to carry out more advanced special training with the other Pokémon.
As for Sandslash and Kommo-o, those were precisely the Pokémon Ethan worried about the least.
As long as they could successfully decipher the relationship between Sparkling Stones and the Totem aura, and find a method to use Sparkling Stones to quickly increase the Totem aura...
With the enormous-sized Sparkling Stone and the other small Sparkling Stone Ethan had in his hands, the strength of both could enter the Elite level at the fastest speed possible!
...
Half a day later, Ethan returned to Solaria Town.
After returning, he headed directly to his house.
What surprised him a little was that Naira was also there.
Moreover, seeing the two of them busy together in the kitchen, the atmosphere really looked somewhat harmonious.
"Ethan, you're back."
Seeing Ethan, Naira's face blushed inexplicably.
"Ethan, come quickly and carry the dishes. We heard you were coming back, so we were busy all morning."
Ethan's mother also shouted at that moment, and together with Ethan's father, they carried plate after plate to the table.
After all the dishes were served, the family sat together around the table.
"Big Sister Naira, during this time, I've caused you trouble with the Gym."
While eating, Ethan raised his glass and toasted with Naira.
Afterward, the two began to talk about the daily affairs of the Pokémon Gym and some Pokémon breeding topics.
When they finished eating, Ethan greeted his parents and left the house together with Naira.
Seeing the two leave shoulder to shoulder, Ethan's father and mother looked at each other, both showing satisfied smiles.
...
"This is the mutated Fire Stone?"
In the research institute, Ethan took out the mutated Fire Stone he had obtained.
Through the analysis of the scientific instruments, the energy structure inside the mutated Fire Stone was also completely revealed.
Just as the auctioneer had said, this mutated Fire Stone contained, besides dense Fire-type energy, a certain amount of Grass-type energy.
What Ethan had to do now was analyze the formation process of this mutated Fire Stone, in order to understand the principle of the fusion between Grass-type energy and Fire-type energy.
If they managed to decipher that process, Charizard might be able to rely on it to successfully complete the fusion of Solar Fire and master it perfectly.
That was also the reason Ethan obtained that mutated Fire Stone. In his hands, this mutated Fire Stone could reveal its greatest value.
"Solar Fire... Ethan, you really are a genius."
Naira spoke from the heart, looking at Ethan with a special light in her eyes.
From Gigalith's orange core to sunlight, then the boost that the move Sunny Day granted to Grass-type and Fire-type Pokémon, allowing Charizard to master the instant Solar Beam move; and finally, taking the move Sunny Day as the core, fusing Fire-type and Grass-type energy to create Solar Fire. On the basis of the Sunny Day Dragon, creating the final form of the Solar Dragon.
After that entire process, there really were not many researchers capable of building such a large framework and turning it into reality step by step.
Perhaps even her master, Leo Cross, Fire-type Champion, could not achieve something like that.
"Everything still exists only in theory. But my intuition tells me it will succeed."
Ethan smiled slightly. Now Charizard was already capable of fusing Grass-type energy and Fire-type energy to form Solar Fire.
The only thing it needed was an opportunity that balanced both energies, allowing Charizard to completely master Solar Fire.
...
After analyzing the composition of the mutated Fire Stone.
Charizard directly began to perceive the energy inside the mutated Fire Stone in front of Ethan.
At the same time, Grass-type and Fire-type energy could be seen flowing inside its body.
While perceiving the energy contained in the mutated Fire Stone, Charizard was attempting to use the Grass-type and Fire-type energy in its own body to imitate that force.
To completely master that power, in the end, everything depended on Charizard itself. What Ethan had to do was record the process through instruments to find the key points.
...
Fuu, fuu, fuu~
Inside Charizard's body, Grass-type and Fire-type energy surged.
During that process, Charizard also activated the technique: Sunny Day Dragon.
The energy of the move Sunny Day slowly integrated into Charizard's body.
During that process, it could be seen that the Grass-type and Fire-type energy inside Charizard's body also began to fuse.
Little by little, flames began to burn over Charizard's body.
Boom!
In the next instant, Charizard's body seemed to ignite completely.
The Fire-type energy condensed inside Charizard's body directly devoured the Grass-type energy.
Like dry firewood meeting an intense flame, the Fire-type energy condensed inside Charizard's body increased several times in an instant.
And as both energies fused, golden flames rose over Charizard's body!
"It succeeded, Solar Fire!"
Seeing the flames burning over Charizard, Naira jumped with excitement.
By personally witnessing the formation of Solar Fire, the two of them had witnessed the birth of a top-level technique.
"Yes, it succeeded."
Seeing that Charizard had completely mastered Solar Fire through its own method, Ethan also smiled.
Originally, he had bought the mutated Fire Stone only with the idea of trying, but he had not expected everything to go even more smoothly than he imagined.
Of course, this was also because Charizard's talent was excellent, and because Solar Fire was already very close to success.
At the same time, he could also feel that, by completely mastering Solar Fire, Charizard's strength had truly entered the Elite level!
