He knows Pokémon better than me.

Before long, the three of them returned to the ground, each carrying some spoils of war.

Aside from Dynamax mushrooms and other target items, Ash is very generous; regardless of whether Rinto wants them or not, everyone gets a share of the other item rewards.

Next up is the four-star den of Togoldemare. The three of them head to Lake of Outrage while replenishing their Pokémon's stats.

"Be, Be!!"

The young Teng Cu appeared exceptionally excited, even urging them on.

Ash and Mary exchanged a knowing glance.

"So, it's time to evolve, isn't it?"

Ash thought to himself that Scorbunny's personality was different from the other Fire-type starter Pokémon; he was very calm and composed.

He even noticed that a tuft of hair on Tengcu's forehead was flashing a pale red light, which he guessed was a sign of evolution.

So the three quickened their pace and returned to the Pokémon den by the lake.

"Beep beep! Pokémon den identified! Type: Electric/Steel. Star rating: Four stars. Weather: Rainy, Roto~!"

If it is not defeated, the Pokémon living inside will not change; it will still be Togoldemare on rainy days.

The Gigantamax Alolan Electric Mouse, despite its cute face, resembles a giant ball of flesh, creating a striking contrast.

However, this Dynamax raid battle was much simpler than that of Electivire, since it is an Electric/Steel type, which is four times weak to Ground-type moves.

"Young General, use the ultimate ground attack!!"

After accumulating Dynamax power for three rounds, Scorbunny enters Dynamax mode, burrows underground and moves at top speed, causing the entire den space to shake violently.

The attack method of the Giant Earth is very similar to "Digging". As the Tumbler bursts out of the ground, it hits Togglemar in the abdomen. Through the Rotom mobile app, you can see that the latter's health bar drops by more than half in an instant.

The effect is remarkable!

Mary and her companion only need to help Teng Cu Xiao Jiang absorb the damage.

"Dynamax raid battles, is it really this easy?"

Mary was also a little confused. In the past, when she played in three- or four-player teams with others, she felt that every game was extremely challenging.

On the other hand, Rinto was having a great time, and it hadn't even been five minutes yet.

Boom-!
The giant electric mouse had already collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious, easily.

"Be, be~!!"

The little rat seemed even more excited; one electric mouse was not enough for it at the moment, and it desperately needed a new opponent to vent its frustration.

The other two naturally had no objections. It was a rare opportunity to encounter a team that didn't require much effort, so they cooperated fully with the young Tengchu.

The third Pokémon den, which was also previously tested—

"Beep beep. Pokémon den identified! Type: Fighting. Star rating: 4 stars. Terrain: Grassy Roto!"

This time it was the Fighting-type octopus Pokémon. After entering the den space, Ash's mouth dropped open slightly; it was the first time he had ever seen such a Pokémon.

Its entire body is dark blue with bright green markings, giving it the appearance of a highly venomous octopus from the sea.

However, this one is purely a fighting type.

The octopus has three tentacles that support it on the ground, allowing it to stand upright.

Then, each side uses two muscular tentacles to form a left and right hand, assuming a fighter's stance.

Unfortunately, the Octopus Warrior and the Electric Hound share the same problem.

"Octopus martial artists excel at quickly entangled their opponents, employing chokeholds to suffocate them."

"This is what Mari, a local from Galar, explained quickly."

However, in Dynamax form, this choke move is no longer a concern.

After all, given the vast difference in size, it's impossible for a human to strangle an ant, right? Whoosh—!

The next moment, a huge energy fist crashed down from the sky, and the Octopus Martial Master's Giant Fist Attack attacked the three of them simultaneously.

"Gallade, use Reflect!"

Rinto's Gallade had also recovered its strength and immediately set up a damage reduction barrier for the three of them.

Even so, the Slash Commander, whose fighting moves were four times weaker, was still reduced to near-death by a single punch.

On the other side, the young general was covered with a layer of flowing and agile blue light and suddenly rushed forward.

"Yan Hui!"

By switching to the Flying type, the damage from Max Punch is greatly reduced, and with the added benefit of Reflect, it can basically withstand the attack without taking any damage.

boom--!
The Swallow Return Kick, glowing with white light, struck one of the Octopus Martial Artist's tentacles.

"Hehe~"

Xiao Zhi touched his nose and smiled smugly.

During the training grounds in Zhuqing Village, he had already taught Tengcu Xiaojiang as many basic moves of various attributes as possible, so that he could fully utilize the characteristics of a free agent.

After executing the Swallow Return Flying Kick, the Eight-Clawed Martial Artist quickly created distance and spat out a jet of jet-black, high-pressure water from the corner of his mouth, shooting it out over a long distance.

Ink cannon!
Even though it's a fighting-type creature, as an octopus, the ink cannon is an exclusive move ingrained in its genes.

Commander Pi Zhan simply stood in front of Teng Cu Xiao Jiang and was knocked out of combat by the ink cannon. Anyway, he was fully recovered after five rounds.

What followed was the familiar script: Scorbunny, having gathered its maximum power, Dynamaxed again, reaching the same enormous size as Octopod.

However, in this way, the Octopus Warrior could strangle the latter. Immediately, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and he rushed over with his wriggling octopus tentacles.

"Max Air Strike!!"

However, what greeted it was the Giant Flying Charge, an upgrade from "Swallow Return," which blasted out like a storm vortex, forcefully throwing the Octopus Warrior away, leaving him sprawled on the ground in disarray.

Outstanding effect!

On the screen, you can clearly see that the opponent's health bar has dropped significantly.

"It has to be a Dynamax move!"

Ash's heart was burning with excitement, and with Max Air, he could also boost the speed of all his teammates.

"Gallade, use Psychic Blade!!"

Although my stamina hasn't fully recovered, I can't use Mega Evolution for the time being.
However, Gallade's ability is Sharpness, and its Psychic Blade is by no means weak. The Psychic slash it unleashed exploded violently on the Octopod Tentacles.

Outstanding effect!

"Max Air Strike!!"

The hurricane vortex unleashed by the young general Tengju once again successfully knocked out the white barrier shield of the Octopus Martial Master.

*Whoosh!*
The latter, in pain, unleashed a thick jet of water, causing heavy rain to fall from the surrounding sky.

Massive water flow!

In its Dynamax form, it can also trigger Freestyle, but when faced with Water-type attacks, Scorbunny will not use any Water, Grass, or Dragon-type moves and cannot resist them.

Of course, even if Ash had it, he wouldn't plan to use it.

The Dynamax form only has three precious turns, so naturally, it should be used entirely for dealing damage!

"Max Air Strike!!"

Despite the immense water surge, the young Tengju, whose stamina had doubled, managed to withstand it and unleashed another fierce cyclone hurricane that exploded on the Octopus Warrior.

The effect was outstanding!! (End of Chapter)
