He knows Pokémon better than me.

Tengchu understood immediately and slid out, kicking the Gigantamax Meowth squarely in the right leg.

The heavier the target, the greater the damage from a kick.

This rule does not apply to Dynamax Pokémon.

However, this Gigantamax Meowth's unusually long and thin structure makes its center of gravity very unstable.

After taking a highly effective sliding tackle, he not only clutched his right leg in pain, but his massive size also made the movement look slow and comical.

Hop and Ash exchanged a glance and instantly understood the latter's intention.

"Now's the time, Plop Monkey, use the grass slide!!"

"Young kicker, let's kick him down again!"

Although the surrounding grassy terrain was transformed into an electric terrain by Max Lightning, and the priority effect of Grass Slide disappeared, Gigantamax Meowth had no time to defend at this moment.

Snapped!Snapped!
From both sides, Padong Monkey and Tengchu Little General launched a sliding tackle attack, kicking Miaomiao's other leg. The latter's long, mountain-like body finally collapsed with a loud thud, letting out a miserable scream, indicating that the injury was quite serious.

"Keep going, young kicker, double kick!"

"Padong Monkey, let's use tile-breaking!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two Pokémon jumped onto Meowth's face and began unleashing a series of effective fighting moves—

Throughout the entire process, Ash was also watching the real-time health bar indicator on his Rotom on his phone. Even with its highly effective moves, the four-star Meowth's health bar was decreasing very slowly.

With a low-intensity, continuous attack, it's estimated that it would run out of time and be driven out as soon as it broke through Meow Meow's white shield barrier.

"Meow--!"

After being attacked repeatedly, Meow Meow felt the pain and began to retaliate by swinging its claws.

These den Pokémon don't just use Dynamax moves; they also use regular moves in between, like the crazy slashing attack they're using right now.

The nimble-flying young warrior easily dodged the attack, and then delivered a swift double kick to Miao Miao's face.

With the added benefit of the Free Spirit's characteristics, every kick is incredibly powerful!

Padong Monkey's movements were more chaotic, and its agility was much worse than Tengcu Xiaojiang's.

However, during this period of seclusion, Hop has also figured out how to increase the evasion rate of the Padmon Monkey.

"Dodge it with acrobatics!"

The monkey was covered in a layer of white light, and its movements suddenly became more agile, frequently making various difficult moves to dodge.

This was inspired by his older brother's Thunder King Kong – when Dan Di's Thunder King Kong used acrobatics, it not only dodged, but could even deliver powerful punches from tricky and unpredictable angles.

Currently, his Padong Monkey can only passively dodge.

Clang!
After more than ten rounds of fierce fighting, a white light barrier suddenly appeared on Meow Meow's body, which finally allowed it to stand up again.

"Is it finally here?"

Hep's eyes lit up. The appearance of this mysterious barrier proved that the cat's health had dropped to 1/3.

Meow Meow roared angrily, its body enveloped in a blackish-purple energy cloak, which finally transformed into two streams of light that shot out, carrying an extremely dangerous aura of malevolence.

"It's a Maximal Bully!"

Hep quickly gave a reminder and was about to use the same trick again, having the monkey continue digging holes to avoid the attacks.

However, this time the Dynamax Bully also has a tracking effect, following it into the cave.

Rumble——!
Finally, the ground beneath the surface exploded with a deafening roar, creating a large hole in the ground, and the battered and bruised monkey fell out.

After landing on the ground, its head lolled to the side, rendering it unable to fight.

Seeing this, Ash also became serious. If both of their Pokémon were unable to battle, the Dynamax Raid Battle would end prematurely.

Of course, as long as it survives five rounds, the padong monkey can revive on the spot.

"Young warrior, dodge with a double kick!"

Kenkyu understood, its feet covered in white light as it leaped up to dodge. Although it was still affected by Max Dark Templar's attack, it was currently a Fighting-type, which gave it great resistance to Dark-type attacks, so it wasn't a big problem.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, it even kicked the cat in the stomach from mid-air.

"So handsome!"

This scene prompted Hop to exclaim in praise.

Even though everyone is using the second-stage starter Pokémon, why does it feel like there's a big difference?!

He even saw the image of his older brother's Cinderace in Ash's young Scorbunny.

After surviving a Dynamax move, Meowth's subsequent moves like "Rampage," "Thunderbolt," and "Abyssal Thrust" are much easier to dodge.

The giant-like meow had to bend over dramatically when it swung its claws, giving the little levitating boy enough time to dodge, before delivering another heavy kick to its face.

"Pica~"

Sitting next to him, Pikachu shook its head in disgust.

It's such a useless Gigantamax form, it's not even as good as Team Rocket's Meowth.

Ash nodded in agreement, and couldn't help but sigh:
"The Gigantamax form of this kind of Pokémon that hasn't fully evolved seems to have a limited power increase."

Pikachu rolled its eyes at Ash in response.

It seems that the type you mentioned includes it!
Five rounds later, Padong Monkey was fully recovered.

Ash exclaimed in amazement, saying that this nest space was simply the perfect battleground.

As the two Pokémon repeatedly used their superior fighting moves, the white light barrier around Meowth finally shattered like glass.

Immediately afterwards, several weakening blue lights appeared around Meow Meow, as if its defense had suddenly weakened considerably.

"Keep going, grass slide!"

"Kick him down!"

The two used the same trick again, sliding in to knock Meow Meow down and dealing a critical hit, pinning her to the ground and unleashing a barrage of attacks.

When there is 1/5 left on the time bar.

"Meow."

The meow stopped his sharp hissing and instead let out a miserable scream before collapsing.

Its body emitted a scattering of light, and its enormous size shrank three times in succession, transforming from a "long and thin" shape back into an ordinary cat.

His eyes darted around, and he completely fainted and collapsed to the ground.

The outcome is decided!

"We won!!"

Hep has already picked up the spitting monkey and excitedly spun it around in celebration.

Xiao Zhi also let out a breath, feeling a mix of emotions:
"As expected, it's a bit of a stretch for Teng Cu to solo a four-star nest."

Without the output of the Buddy Monkey, it would probably take until the time limit was exhausted, and it might even be just one point away from defeat.

Moreover, this is just an unevolved cat.

If it were the previous Gigantamax Butterfree, the difficulty would be even greater!
—After defeating the boss, the next step is naturally to tame it.

"I will not subdue it."

Ash shrugged. Now that there are Hakimi cats all around his house, he won't add any more to make things worse.

Hep shook his head at this, showing no intention of subduing her.

"Never mind. What I actually wanted to catch was a Galar-type Meowth."

Its entire body was covered in fur, and it was made of steel; its claws were as sharp and hard as metal. This was even more to the liking of Hop, a native of Galar. (End of Chapter)
