>>55676319>>55676327Pokemon grow and evolve by absorbing the energy fired off by their attacks, storing that energy until they use it to springboard through their metamorphosis, with the remainder being released into the air when they're done. Professor Rowan and Team Galactic both independently study using this evolution runoff as a form of clean energy generation, one being much more well-intentioned than the other.
More powerful mons = more energy being channeled and released = faster absorption. Magikarp is the absolute bottom-of-the-barrel scavenger that is only capable of channeling its own energy when it's already almost ready to evolve. Pokemon can absorb this energy passively by being on the sidelines of a battle or via devices like the Experience Share, but it's a slower process than actually battling directly.
Theoretically, anyone could have a Gyarados with enough time and patience, but how much are your other mons being deprived during the process? And more importantly, what are you going to do with a massive sea serpent hardwired to nuke entire ecosystems to provide energy for its helpless kindred? That's when the real challenge of raising a Magikarp begins.

Where does this little twink think he's getting an interdimensional alien from, how does he plan on acquiring a Beast Ball that costs seven figures to produce in a world that hasn't seen inflation since 1996, and how does he think it's going to give him the time of day if he had it.
