Darke gave Diana a glimpse of the future, which excited her again, and the way she looked at her "Bear Apprentice" was noticeably different.
In fact, even Dark only managed to evolve a few Digimon through "psychic power," and he never succeeded in doing so with Pokémon—although he thought it was feasible.
Unlike Rockruff, "Bear Apprentice" can most likely be evolved using the Sin cards "Pride" and "Elysium".
Further experiments are needed to evolve the "Bear Apprentice".

Chapter 1021 This punch slayed even the dragon (4k)
Instead of conducting evolution experiments on the "Bear Apprentice" at this moment, Dark turned to Rose and said, "It's your turn. Just take out your snake scale powder."
Rose smiled and took out the blue snake scale powder she had brought.
She made a very clear choice: snake scale powder with ice and dark attributes. The subsequent experiments went smoothly as always.
However, Rose's goal in achieving this was not ice or dark attributes, but rather another attribute that was more compatible with "moon power"—"fairy"!
[Bird/Beast Species - Fairy Type]!
Using materials such as "Blue Snake Scale Powder", "Paradise Juice (Rabbit)", and Fairy-type attribute powder, and employing the basic crafting method of "Bird Beast - Fairy", and finally adding the "Secret Elixir" provided by Dark, a Magical Spirit Card radiating a golden halo is complete!
Throughout the entire process, Dak simply observed without uttering a word.
Diana and Aurora were both surprised when they saw the magic card: "It's another gold card!"
"Three gold cards in a row? Was it really that easy to forge gold cards?"
Rose herself was also very excited.
Although she had already received a "Firebear" card as a gift, it was only an orange card. Therefore, she naturally felt envious when she saw that Aurora and Diana had both received a gold card.
However, she has now successfully crafted a gold card!
Despite her excitement, Rose wasn't as eager as Diana. She carefully used tweezers to pick up the magic card and moved it to the pool to rinse it clean.
Only after that did she take the cleaned gold card to her face and examine it carefully.
But on the card itself was a picture of an adorable magical sprite with long pink ears, which was either a mouse or a rabbit.
She looked at the card name and read out a line of text: "Azumarill (Water/Fairy type Pokémon - Azumarill)"
A thought struck Dak, and he moved closer.
The magical spirit that Rose created was indeed the legendary dragon-slaying hero—"Marilluri"!
"Marill" is evolved from "Lurill" into "Marill".
However, the first two forms are "Water Jewel Pokémon" and "Water Mouse Pokémon", while the final evolution "Marill" is "Water Bulbasaur Pokémon".
However, the reason why "Marillium" is called the "Dragon Slayer" is not only because it is a Fairy-type, but also because it possesses a very special ability—"Hercules"!
The "Hercules" ability doubles the power of Amarill's physical attacks!
However, besides the "Hercules" ability, "Marillour's" other two abilities - "Thick Fat" and "Herbivorous" - are also quite good.
The specific situation in which "Marilluri" is best suited depends on her special move configuration.
Dark then glanced at "Marilluri's" star rating—it was six stars.
"It's just a second-tier magical spirit, what a pity," Dark thought to himself.
Unlike Digimon with clearly defined ranks, Pokémon have star ratings. Evolutionary stage doesn't completely determine their star rating. Even base stats seem to be only one factor among many.
This can be seen from the fact that the star rating of [Ditto] can span the first, second, and third tiers.
Therefore, although "Marilluri" does not have high base stats, it may still become a third-tier Magical Spirit card after being converted into a Magical Spirit card.
However, six-star also has its advantages; at least it is easier to summon by sacrifice.
"Can I take a look?" Dark asked out of curiosity. "Just a moment," Rose replied, and then first channeled her magic to check the detailed data of "Marilluri".
A few minutes later, she handed the "Marilluri" magic card to Dark, her expression still slightly solemn.
After receiving the "Marilluri" magic card, Dark immediately infused it with magic to examine it and quickly received feedback.

「卡名:玛力露丽」[类型:精灵卡】【等级:c8o8oo]「种族:鸟兽种」[属性:水系/妖精系】[魔力:3000】【攻击:2000】(防御:2000]
[Special Moves: Strongman, Belly Drum, Water Splitting, Playful]
The very simple and honest "strongwoman" Mariluri.
Dark glanced at the special moves list of "Marilluri" and fell silent.
In the Pokémon games, Azumarill's base stats for "Attack" are extremely low, even lower than Miltank's.
But the "Marilluri" that Rose forged has a full two thousand points of attack!
These two thousand points of attack are quite ordinary compared to the three thousand points of attack of a six-star perfect build.
However, this "Marilluri" possesses a special attack called "Hercules".
Not only that, it also has a "bulging belly"!
I don't know what the effect of "bloating" will be here, but it should be roughly the same.
Add to that "Water Slash" and "Playful Rumble," both physical attack moves... what a standard moveset!
"How is my magical sprite?" Rose asked nervously.
But Dak was already numb, so he couldn't give a clear answer: "Let me see first."
He channeled more magic power into the magic cards, probing the details of the ultimate techniques. First was "Marilluri's" absolute core skill—[Hercules]
v
[Hercules: Marilouli possesses the potential to become a Hercules. When this potential is unleashed, her base attack power will double.]
There is no cooldown, but it can be activated manually.
It gives the impression of a strongman concentrating his strength and bulging his muscles.

After watching the unpretentious "Hercules" special move, Dark immediately looked at the next special move - "Bellis".
v
【Bloody: Marill consumes half of her maximum mana to increase the power of her next physical attack to its maximum (up to three times her base attack)】.
"Similar to the original 'Bellied Belly,' the attack growth coefficient remains at a maximum of three times. However, the previous continuous increase has been replaced by an attack growth that only applies to a single hit. This is somewhat similar to the mechanism of 'Sword Dance.'"
"But as for basic attacks... 'Hercules' double attack seems to be a basic attack as well."
"Therefore, when 'Hercules' is activated, 'Marilluri' can deliver a punch with up to six times her base attack power."
"One punch, twelve thousand coins"
"Six-Star Magical Elf"
Dark couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Rose's "Marilluri" card was so overpowered that he wanted to remake it.
Moreover, the key point of this "Marilluri" card is that its physical attack boost is incredibly cheap: double in normal state, and six times when it consumes half of the target's health for a single hit—and it's pure physical damage! Who could withstand that punch?
As for "Marilluri's" other two special moves, although they are not weak, they seem less impressive when compared to "Hercules" and "Bellis".
Their main function is to increase the number of attack methods available to "Marilluri".
v
[Water Slash: Amari condenses water into a sword and uses it to strike the opponent, with a chance to reduce the opponent's defense.]
/
v
[Playful: Amarillie attacks while playfully interacting with her opponent, with a chance to reduce the opponent's attack.]
One is a water-type and the other is a fairy-type.
After reading it, Dark returned the "Marilluri" Magical Spirit Card to Rose.
"Marillour" is the final evolution form of the Pokémon, so it doesn't need to study mental powers to unleash its strongest battle power.
With the addition of "Marilluri", Rose's weakness in attack was further compensated.
After retrieving "Marilluri", Rose couldn't contain her excitement and sacrificed it to summon it.
Then, Dark was tackled by "Marilluri"!
However, he didn't dislike "Marilluri's" skin because it was cool and soft like a balloon.
Three attempts at forging resulted in three magical spirits. The experiment concluded successfully that afternoon.
Aurora, Diana, and Rose were all extremely satisfied with the magical spirits they had acquired.
With the strength of these three magical spirits, even if they don't evolve, they are still among the most dazzling in their class.
However, as agreed, they will not use these three magical spirits in the academy's current competition.
This is the default rule that St. Mary's College has maintained to this day.
However, this rule will become obsolete once the new dueling rules are implemented!
Under the new dueling rules, no one will abide by these so-called "unwritten rules" anymore.
Dark hopes that Aurora, Diana, and Rose can master the ability to evolve Rockruff, Bear Apprentice, and Scorbunny before the Academy Championship next semester.
Of course, he will also prioritize this as a research topic.
Dark Deemon, who can now use mental power to evolve some Digimon, finally has the qualifications to research how to make Pokémon evolve through mental power.
His research findings will be reflected in Aurora, Diana, and Rose.
"Today's experiment was a great success. I hope you will cherish the magical spirits you have acquired and form bonds with them as soon as possible."
After Dark finished his summary, he called Diana aside and left her alone.
His previous ideas weren't just ideas; he genuinely wanted to put them into practice. After he carefully explained his thoughts, Diana blinked and asked, "Is it really possible?"
Dark said, "You'll never know if you don't try."
Despite the advancements in magical technology, there have been instances where mages have attempted to learn the ultimate techniques mastered by magical spirits.
However, none of their magical spirits have developed intelligence; apart from a few special moves, they can only learn the superficial resemblance.
Professor Kazel's "ultimate move card" was actually created based on this idea.
However, the special moves of "Bear Apprentice", "Wu Rabbit Beast" and "Antiro Beast" that use "ki" are quite unique.
Dark said, "Please start by teaching them 'Qi Gathering' from the 'Bear Apprentice' and 'Rabbit Tooth Fist' from the 'Martial Rabbit Beast.' I'm counting on you!"
"No problem!" Diana suddenly perked up and patted her chest vigorously, saying, "Just leave it to me!"
Seeing her enthusiasm, Dark couldn't help but smile: "After you learn it, teach me." Diana's eyes instantly narrowed into crescents, and she nodded repeatedly: "Mmm-hmm!"
She rarely felt Dak's trust, and being entrusted with such a task, she immediately wanted to grab "Bear Apprentice" and learn "Gathering Qi".
After Dark and Diana reached an agreement, Dark returned to their original spot and said, "That's basically it for this afternoon. If you have any questions about those magical spirits, feel free to stay and ask me. Also, don't forget the 'Hidden Serpent' gathering tonight."
The three girls all answered "yes," and then... none of them left!
More than half an hour later, Dark recounted his understanding of the three Pokémon in great detail.
Having obtained the knowledge they desired, the three then left hand in hand.
Dark stayed in the laboratory for a while before leaving and returning to the Tower of the Noble House.
He no longer focused on the "Saintess" and the "Saint Son," and prepared to temporarily concentrate his attention on the "Hidden Serpent."
As a price for being able to use the academy's warehouse as his private storage, he had to produce something in return.
Therefore, in the past two days, he has taken the time to select the candidates he intends to train and sent them invitations.
Although this opportunity was presented under the name of "The Hidden Serpent," it was actually his personal invitation.
Not all those who received the invitation were members of the "Hidden Serpent".
After dinner, Dark studied the secondary transmutation of "Devimon" for a while before entering the secret passage before 8 p.m.
