He knows Pokémon better than me.

Soon, the three were standing in the center of the field again, with Onio and Mari keeping a slight distance between them.

Since Pikachu couldn't score, Ash simply hoisted Pikachu over his head. As the Max Band activated and Pikachu's body lit up with a pinkish-purple light, he quickly tossed Pikachu away.

A little later, a Pikachu over twenty meters tall had already sat right on him.

"Pica-!"

Pikachu let out a long shout, which gradually became deep and loud, and its size expanded rapidly.

Before long, it completed its Dynamax transformation, and even its physical characteristics underwent significant changes.

The body became larger and even bloated, and the originally square face turned into a slightly flattened oval face.

It looks somewhat like the face of Pikachu, the senior of the Red Brother?

The most unique feature is its tail, which has completely transformed into a golden energy body, becoming longer and thinner, with the tip curving upwards and extending more than ten meters beyond its head.

shhhhh--

Three pinkish-purple Dynamax clouds circled the electric tail, drifting slowly.

It's not Dynamax, it's Gigantamax!

"Gigantamax Pikachu?"

Xiao Zhi was taken aback; this was something he hadn't expected.

He originally thought Pikachu would also need a pot of Electric-type Dynamax soup to transform, but he didn't expect it to do it all in one go?

"Pica—?"

The Gigantamax Pikachu was also curiously examining its own body, but in this state, whether it was turning its head or raising its paws, it appeared particularly clumsy and slow.

Boom!
When he tried to lift his foot, he lost his balance and fell hard on his bottom, causing the ground to tremble.

"Uh, can't you get used to your body yet?"

Ash raised an eyebrow. But with the size of a Gigantamax Pikachu, even if he adapts to the body, his best ability—speed—would probably be completely lost.

Sacrificing speed, if there isn't a significant increase in the intensity, then it's a negative effect.

So Ash looked at Gengar:

"Please, Gengar, use Protect on the spot and try Pikachu's Dynamax move. No, it's Gigantamax move."

Ash paused for a moment, then said, "It's not Max Lightning, it should be a special move."
"Call, Gigantamax Thunderstrike, which has the effect of paralyzing all opponents."

Beside her, Marie reminded her, her face also filled with curiosity as she stared at the giant, obese Pikachu.

She had only seen information about it online before, and seeing the Gigantamax Pikachu in person was a bit of an eyesore.

Why is it that other Electric Mice have a special Gigantamax form, but the local Electric Mice, Morpeko, doesn't?
"Pan-wide paralysis?"

Upon hearing this, Ash's eyes lit up. This effect was much stronger than Gengar's Gigantamax Spectral!

"Gengar, can you help me?"

"Gengga gengga!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Gengar was already shaking its head vigorously, and even jumped behind Onio to provide cover.

Others may not know how powerful Pikachu is, but how could it not know?

If Old Pi becomes its punching bag, it won't be able to get out of bed for at least three days. How can it then enjoy playing in the Galar region?
Ash grimaced and could only send out Mel and Meta.
"How about we use my Night Patrol Spirit?"

At this moment, Onio couldn't help but speak up.

"Jie Jie~"

The referee spirit slowly floated over and volunteered.

Seeing this, Gengar facepalmed and shook his head with regret as he looked at Nightwatch.

These days, there are actually ghosts who deliberately seek death.
As for the male Night Patrol, well, it's best to leave it be. Onio was quite confident in his Night Patrol's durability, especially since the latter was carrying an "Evolution Stone," which doubled both of its defenses.

If you combine that with your ultimate move, you should be able to block it.

"Thank you very much!"

Ash gave a grateful look and watched as the human and the ghost walked to the other end of the arena.

However, before shouting out the move, Ash hesitated for a moment and reminded him:

"By the way, if your Night Patrol has any boosting moves, you should use them first. As for Pikachu, use the Gigantamax move upgraded from Thunderbolt."

Onio looked puzzled, but still obediently replied:
"In that case, Night Watch Spirit, use meditation twice!"

"Hehehe~!"

The Night Patrol Spirit understood, closed its eyes, and slowly began to meditate, its body gradually glowing with an amplifying red light.

After lighting up twice in a row, Special Defense increases by 2, plus the boost from the Evolution Stone.
"And hold the line!"

A green light barrier also formed on its body surface, ready for action.

Mary became interested in this and immediately stood next to Onio, releasing her hairy troll.

"Since we're testing group attacks, let's add another target!"

"Long-haired troll, use Light Wall! Then defend!"

The long-haired troll conjured a damage reduction barrier in front of it and the Nightwatch Spirit, then, like the latter, erected a green light sphere barrier.

On the other side, Pikachu has finally managed to get used to its "new body" and can at least stand up normally.

So Ash raised his arm and pointed to the sky:

"Right now! Unleash a massive 100,000-volt lightning strike on your head!!"

He didn't choose to go all out; there was an even more powerful thunderbolt to come.

"Pica-!"

Pikachu let out a loud, drawn-out cry, and its spell-casting action was quite abstract. It suddenly jumped up less than three meters high, and then fell to the ground with a thud.

His body erupted with lightning, shooting towards the sky; his starting stance was identical to the lightning-inducing version of the Thunderstrike.

Thick clouds gathered rapidly in the sky.

Sizzle boom—!

The next instant, a thick bolt of lightning crashed down from the clouds, covering most of the field, and the dazzling electric light filled the entire arena.

The ground trembled violently, and the two green light barriers appeared exceptionally weak under the powerful lightning strike.
Boom! !
At one end of the field, a violent electrical explosion was triggered, and Onio and Marie's expressions changed drastically.

Why should I volunteer?

"Why should I join voluntarily?!"

Similar thoughts appeared in both of their minds at the same time.

As the smoke cleared, Pikachu at one end of the arena began to pant. It seemed that its overweight body was struggling to sustain such an intense battle.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the ground cracked open, revealing countless fissures in the rocks.

This is an arena reinforced with Gigantamax Grass Seed, so the ground should be exceptionally sturdy.

The fact that neither Gigantamax Gengar nor Corsola's attacks shattered the ground demonstrates the immense power of this Gigantamax Thunderstrike!
At the center of the attack, Night Patrol Spirit collapsed on the spot, unable to fight.

Although its defenses are doubled with the help of Evolution Stones, its base HP isn't very high. It needs to evolve into Dusclops for optimal durability.

Zizizi!
Not only did it collapse, but countless arcs of electricity crackled around Night Patrol Spirit, indicating that it had entered a state of paralysis. (End of Chapter)
