The National Tournament was less than a month away, but Li Yuan still didn't have 8 badges.
He wasn't worried. He had no intention of collecting them.
Are you kidding? My mom is in charge of this jurisdiction. How many badges I want is just a word away.
Forget 8 badges; his mom registered him with 18.
According to league rules, collecting 18 badges allowed you to skip the preliminaries and advance directly to the main event.
Delia knew her son well. If she let him challenge gyms slowly, he would refuse out of laziness.
So, to make him participate obediently, Delia pulled strings to send her son straight to the main stage.
If the main event weren't broadcast nationally, she might have bought him the championship outright.
Dawn, May, and Misty also skipped the preliminaries. Although Delia couldn't get them 18 badges, the number of participants wasn't even. Someone always got a bye. Delia arranged byes for them, ensuring their appearance in the main event.
So, although the tournament was starting soon, the preliminaries took a month. They effectively had two months of free time.
Li Yuan didn't mind. Delia was madly in love with him, clinging to him for ten days straight, refusing to let his "thing" leave her body even when exhausted.
Since he couldn't get the lonely aunt off him, he would just indulge with her for two months~.
May asked Li Yuan for a top-quality Shiny Stone. Her Togetic needed it to evolve.
High-quality evolution stones cost millions and were hard to find. A month ago, she couldn't afford it.
But now she had a rich boyfriend. She and her mother used their nurseries to store his excess "cream puffs" daily; didn't they deserve a reward~?
With the Shiny Stone, Togetic evolved into Togekiss, its strength approaching Veteran rank.
Then, Li Yuan gave all three heroines' Pokémon Awakening Berries, awakening extra types for them.
Since wishing for the Silver Crest, Li Yuan wasn't in a hurry to claim rewards. He could claim them when needed.
With Awakening Berries and other resources, the three heroines' strength skyrocketed, surpassing their peers and catching up to seniors. They wouldn't be eliminated in the first round.
With unlimited Life Energy Cubes, even the resentful Gardevoir became obedient.
The cubes boosted Pokémon significantly. Watching Ralts grow into a Kirlia in less than a month delighted her.
So now, no matter how Li Yuan played with her, she didn't complain. She even hugged him from behind, rubbing her wet gate against his back, spreading nectar all over him~. As if saying: If you treat my daughter well, I'll even bear you another Ralts!
(Provided Li Yuan solved the reproductive isolation issue.)
"By the way, Hubby, you said you had a way to make Mawile stronger. What is it?" May, Dawn, and Misty asked while entangled nakedly.
Maybe because they were the same age, their relationship improved. They even teamed up for sex.
Sometimes they dragged their mothers in. When high, they even rubbed against each other's mothers' gates, engaging in a "Mom Swap" play...
Li Yuan had never seen such chaos. Girls' purity was indeed a facade; once liberated, they played wilder than boys...
"Simple. Mega Evolve Mawile. Who dares call her weak then?" Li Yuan kissed Delia excitedly and telepathied.
"What is Mega Evolution?" May had never seen it. Did Mawile have an evolution?
"It's complicated. I'll show you." Li Yuan took out the Mawilite, constructed the Aura bridge, and bathed Mawile in evolution light.
This special evolution stopped the wives' chaotic battle. They stared at Mawile.
Mawile watched her glowing body in surprise. Her height increased, and the steel jaw on her back split into two, hanging like twin ponytails.
When the light faded, a more domineering Mega Mawile appeared. Its aura surged from Elite to Veteran rank.
"Wow~! Is this possible? Hubby! How did you do it? Can I have one?" Misty was captivated.
Everyone here loved Pokémon. Seeing a new evolution was exciting.
"Of course. Everyone gets a share. Take these Key Stones and Mega Stones." Li Yuan was generous, distributing stones worth millions.
Misty got Gyaradosite. Sabrina got Alakazite. Erika... well, she already had one.
Everyone was happy except Dawn.
Her Piplup went the Partner route and couldn't Mega Evolve. Li Yuan didn't have a Pachirisuite (doesn't exist). So she was the only one without a Mega.
He had a Gardevoirite, but Kirlia couldn't use it yet.
"Hubby..." Dawn looked at him pitifully.
"Don't envy them. Mega Stones don't suit you. You're better off with Z-Moves. Kirlia has a form rivaling Mega Evolution anyway." Li Yuan comforted her.
"You mean..." Dawn's eyes lit up.
"Yes. Unbound Gardevoir. Unlike Mega Evolution, Unbound form releases the species' innate power, so even Kirlia can use it." Li Yuan explained.
"Does that mean I can have the same form as Hubby?" Dawn rejoiced. Couple-outfit evolution? Who needs trashy Mega Evolution? I want this!
"Theoretically yes, but my Gardevoir is Shiny, so your Unbound form won't be as strong or look the same."
"It's okay! I want to learn!" Dawn breathed heavily.
"Fine. I'll help you before the main event. Whether you master it depends on your bond with Kirlia."
Even if she didn't ask, he would help Kirlia unleash her power. Otherwise, Gardevoir wouldn't let him off.
Kirlia wasn't Shiny, and Dawn lacked Aura, so resonance was hard. He couldn't guarantee success.
But it didn't matter. He could just give Dawn a Z-Crystal. With a Z-Move guarantee, she would still dominate.
The top four of this tournament were reserved for their husband-and-wives team.
