He knows Pokémon better than me.

boom!boom!
Both Poké Balls were thrown at the same time. Marie naturally chose Bisharp, which she had been preparing for a long time, while Poppy's last trump card was Alcremie, a Pokémon that is very common in roadside dessert shops!

"Alcremie? I've never seen a Pokémon battle like this before."

In the audience, Ash also became interested; the cuter and pinker the Pokémon, the more dangerous it often is.

The Rotom Pokédex also automatically recognized and reminded you:
"Beep beep! This is a Creamy Fairy Roto that looks like a Milky Red Diamond."

Ash looked at the screen, and suddenly rows of Alcremie patterns appeared on it.

The cream color on their bodies and the "hair clips" they wear are all different. I scrolled down several pages on the screen and still couldn't finish scrolling through them. I estimate there are close to 100 different looks.
Poplar's "Milk-scented Red Diamond" Creamy Fairy has a light pink body and a strawberry-shaped "hair clip," which is a fairly common combination.

Ash twitched his lips. He guessed it was similar to Dorimia, a different beauty style in the Kalos region, except that desserts were more popular there.

The battle begins!
Since Bisharp is a Steel-type Pokémon, it completely ignores the effects of the ground-based Toxic Spikes.

"Use the metal claws!"

Mary launched the first attack, slashing out as the commander charged forward. Her blade flashed coldly as she held it horizontally. After so much special training, the moment of battle had finally arrived, and the latter appeared unusually excited.

However, Alcremie neither dodged nor evaded, taking the hit head-on with her body—

This scene made many viewers cover their eyes, fearing that Alcremie would be cut into pieces like a cheesecake.

Poof!

The metal claw struck, sending Alcremie flying several meters backward across the ground—a remarkably effective attack!
"Continue, metal claws!!"

Mary chose to launch a continuous attack, swinging her arms in succession, each strike landing on Alcremie.

But the force seems to be getting weaker and weaker?

"I see."

From a third-person perspective, Ash quickly noticed something amiss: every time Celadon made a claw strike, Alcremie would get cream stuck to it upon contact.

After several rounds, the sharp blades that had cleaved the commander's arms had completely turned into "butter knives".

As the blade becomes duller, its power naturally decreases.

Meanwhile, Alcremie suffered most of the damage.
"Use self-regeneration!"

Popella casually gave the order, and Alcremie shook her body, letting out a long cry as her strength began to recover rapidly.

But defeating the commander would not be such an easy way to resolve the predicament.

"Shout!"

It kept swinging its blade arm in place, but the cream on the blade was completely stuck and couldn't be shaken off at all.

Boo hoo hoo-!
The Commander of the Slashing Blade even used a sword dance on the spot, his body spinning like a top, but the blade was still made of cream, rendering the sword dance meaningless.

"Similar to the foam of a bubble frog, but this one is even stickier."

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but praise.

In this state, the Slash Commander's physical attack is not even halved, but completely reduced to zero!

Even if it forces the use of the blade on its head to create an "Iron Head," it will still turn into a Creamy Blunt Blade after a few rounds. This Alcremie is very good at dealing with physical attack-type opponents.

That leaves only one path!
Marie understood and, without hesitation, immediately raised her hand to recall Bisharp. She pressed it onto her Max Bracer, and in an instant, the Luxury Ball expanded and grew larger. When she released it again, Bisharp had become a Dynamaxed form the size of a small mountain.

Thump thump thump—!
This time, without the need for a cheering squad to lead, the entire venue resounded with an exciting and powerful sound. Coupled with the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, the atmosphere instantly reached its peak!
This is the Galar Arena Battle. As soon as the Dynamax phase starts, the background music immediately switches to a high-pitched one. The double shock of visual and auditory experience makes the audience's blood boil!
Thanks to Dynamax, the cream fell off, and the blade of the Slash Commander naturally became sharp again.

"Max Steel!!"

Without hesitation, Mary immediately unleashed her powerful Dynamax move.

Commander Slash slammed his sword down on the earth, and the ground trembled instantly. Countless steel spikes rose up and stretched all the way to the direction of Frostmaw.

"Use a stand-in!"

Alcremie immediately created a Cream Substitute, which, although it consumed a lot of stamina, was able to completely withstand the damage from Max Steel.

Miso miso miso!
The buffing red light on the Slash Commander increased its physical defense, but it was useless, as Alcremie used only special attack moves.

"That's amazing!"

Seeing the violent commotion caused by Max Steel, Popira raised her arms, a look of surprise and admiration on her face.

The girl in front of me is also a great successor in the dance arena!
"In that case, I'll make the arena even pinker too!"

After saying that, Popira recalled Alcremie, activated her Max Band, transformed into a giant heart-shaped ball, and threw it out.

Boom-!
A giant, multi-tiered cake, as big as a small mountain, appeared in everyone's view.

Countless layers of cakes with different ingredients and fruits are stacked up, the cream is colorful, and the top layer is the cute little figure of the Cream Fairy. When they are all stacked up, they are even five or six meters taller than the Commander of the Chop!
Gigantamax Alcremie!
"Oh my god, it's still in Gigantamax form?!"

Ash's face lit up with excitement, and Alcremie had completely transformed into a mountain of cakes.

And its signature Dynamax move.
"Gigantamax happiness and fulfillment~!"

The name seemed rather simple and blunt. The next moment, Gigantamax Alcremie looked up and let out a long chant. Several white cream beams fell from the sky, striking the Splitter like meteors.

Paji——!
Paji——!
Although it made a sticky and strange sound when it landed on the ground, it was quite powerful, causing an energy explosion across most of the arena.

As for the additional effects of this move...
call out--!
A healing green light shone from Alcremie's body, and her stamina began to recover rapidly.

"Is it a Dynamax move exclusive to healers?"

Ash was somewhat surprised that these effects are usually area-of-effect (AoE), meaning that in doubles battles, even teammates can recover health together.

"Don't worry about all that, use Max Steel!!"

Dynamaxing makes battles mindless and brutal. Marnie can repeat her moves, and the constantly rising steel spikes don't have to worry about getting cream on them to reduce damage, allowing for continuous attacks.

Although Max Fighting can boost her Attack, Alcremie is resistant to Fighting-type moves, so it's best not to waste those three precious turns and focus on dealing damage.

Boom! !

The steel spikes struck Alcremie again, and as if the ground had collapsed, Alcremie's massive cake-like body tilted to one side, letting out a scream.

Outstanding effect!

Marie had investigated the information and found that Gigantamax Happiness and Perfection could indeed restore stamina, but not to full, and the effect was not even as good as Regenerator.

It's simply not enough to offset the massive damage caused by Max Steel! (End of Chapter)
