Chapter 245: Searching for the Magikarp’s Query
Chapter 245:
After leaving the Pokémon Center, Yuga pushed aside thoughts of Hunter J and focused on the issue with Magikarp.
According to Nurse Joy's explanation, the reason why Magikarp cannot evolve is due to the stability of the evolution factors within its body. Does this mean that by activating these evolution factors, Magikarp can successfully evolve?
As he walked, Yuga thought about this, not even noticing when his neighbors greeted him on the street.
Yuga was also curious about why Magikarp's evolution factors are so stable.
The most common item for suppressing a Pokémon's evolution factors was the Everstone. However, Magikarp definitely wasn't holding one; Yuga had carefully checked multiple times.
He had even gone as far as to suspect that Magikarp might have swallowed an Everstone, so he contacted Unfezant, who performed a full-body scan using psychic powers to confirm that Magikarp hadn't ingested such an item.
Could it be genetic? Yuga wasn't well-versed in genetics, but according to Nurse Joy's examination, Magikarp didn't seem to have fewer evolution factors than other Pokémon—its issue lay in their extreme stability.
Suddenly, Yuga thought about Evolutionary Stones, the most common items used to activate a Pokémon's evolution factors. Many Pokémon had stable evolution factors and required Evolutionary Stones to trigger their evolutions, like Vulpix, Growlithe, Shellder, and Staryu, among others.
Of course, Evolutionary Stones didn't just activate a Pokémon's evolution factors; their primary role was to provide the energy needed for evolution.
Although there was no precedent for using a Water Stone to evolve Magikarp, who could say it wouldn't work?
With this thought in mind, Yuga quickened his pace, eager to return to the store and test his hypothesis.
