He knows Pokémon better than me.

The Giant Vine's Giant Grassland attack this time was far more powerful than before.

This means that the original move of Max Shore is not "Power Smash", but the special attack-oriented "Giga Drain"!
With the giant mushrooms around them about to explode, it seems the hairy trolls won't last much longer.

"Use jealousy!!"

Mary gritted her teeth and chose to continue the frontal attack!

Just before the explosion, the hairy troll threw out several more balls of will-o'-the-wisp, which exploded on the giant vine.

While causing damage, it also caused the latter to fall back into a state of burns!
"Wide area defense!"

The giant claw crab, on the other hand, conjures a stone sphere barrier on the spot.

Of course, the next second, as the Giant Grassland was fully released, the stone sphere barrier around the hairy troll was quickly torn apart, and its body was blasted away, instantly fainting and losing its ability to fight.

Even the giant king crab was blasted back repeatedly, suffering considerable damage.

Outstanding effect!

We can't afford to let both Pokémon be unable to battle right now, so Ash immediately raised his hand and recalled Kingler:
"In that case, let's use Gigantamax!"

Pressing the Max Sash causes the Poké Ball to expand rapidly, giving the Krabby double HP, ensuring it won't be defeated in the short term.

boom!
With the Poké Balls unlocked again, Gigantamax Kingler makes a powerful appearance!

It still has those huge, asymmetrical pincers, and the thick bubbles coming from the corners of its mouth form a white, foamy beard like an old man's. Its aura completely overwhelms the Dynamax Vine!
Kingler's Gigantamax moves weren't very effective against Vine, so Ash opted for a regular Gigantamax move.

"King Crab, use Gigantamax Guts!!"

Gigantamax Kingler understood, and countless green lights suddenly shot out from its body, forming a dazzling and exaggerated energy butterfly that surrounded the giant vines.

Like a mushroom explosion on a giant grassland, the next second, countless energy butterflies also exploded in unison!

Boom! Boom boom! Boom boom!!

The continuous and dense barrage of butterfly bombs eventually overwhelmed even the highly durable giant vine, causing it to let out a painful howl.

Outstanding effect!

The AI ​​noticed that the Giant Vine's stamina had suddenly dropped significantly in the encyclopedia.

As the smoke and dust cleared, many of the giant vines around it were broken off, leaving it looking quite disheveled.

Whoosh, whoosh—!
Its body also emitted a weakened blue light, an additional effect of the Dynamax Guts, causing its Special Attack to decrease.

"Vines—!!"

The latter naturally entered a state of rage, and its two slender vine arms suddenly stretched out, tightly wrapping around the giant crab's body.

Ultimate Absorption!

However, once it enters Gigantamax form, ordinary moves are no longer enough to restrain Kingler.

The latter's pincers jerked violently, instantly snapping the struggling green vines in two.

"One more time, Giant Insect Gu!!"

Time is limited in Dynamax raid battles, so Ash must maximize his damage output. Therefore, he chooses one move and uses it relentlessly.

The giant crab understood and once again conjured countless green light butterflies, a lush green mass rushing suicidally toward its target.

The giant vine did not back down, and planted countless green glowing mushrooms that were about to explode around the giant crab.

then
Boom! ! !
On both sides, violent explosions erupted simultaneously, the commotion even affecting the entire nest space. A fierce energy vortex swept in, and Ash quickly shielded Marie in front of him.

The thick fog obscured visibility, but the changes on my Rotom phone were quite noticeable.

Giant Vine's health has dropped to one-third, and a mysterious white barrier has appeared. However, Kingler's health has also dropped to one-third, and it's not faring well after taking a direct hit from the highly effective Max Shore.

As for the final Dynamax move...
"Giant Insect Gu!!"

Ash still opted for maximum output. Judging by the time, Marnie's Troll should be "resurrected" soon, allowing for a quick switch.

Fortunately, when Kingler once again gathered countless energy butterflies and flew out, Giant Vine didn't use "Dynamax Grassland," but rather a regular move, Giga Drain.
Not all wild Pokémon understand type advantages and disadvantages.

The power was greatly reduced, allowing the giant crab to perfectly withstand the attack, while the energy butterflies that exploded around the giant vine completely shattered the mysterious barrier that had just condensed on the surface of the giant vine.

Boo hoo hoo-!
Several beams of blue light, indicating a decrease in power, simultaneously illuminated the giant vine, signaling its final weakened state.

"Troll!!"

On the other side, the long-haired troll was also fully revived, spreading its arms and letting out a loud roar.

After finishing its three attacks, the giant crab shrunk back to its original size and stood side by side with the hairy troll.

The battle became much easier after that.

Ash had originally planned to use a Z-Move to reduce the sauce if time ran out.
It now appears that there is enough time for a normal battle.

"Giant crab, use Phillips shears!!"

"Long-haired troll, use Jealousy!!"

The two highly effective moves were unleashed simultaneously, leaving the giant vine, which already had only 1/3 of its health remaining, in a state of utter despair.

Giant Vine is still planning a desperate counterattack, intending to use Max Shore to fight back—

Unfortunately, Kingler's three Dynamax Guts attacks have already reduced Vine's Special Attack by three stacks.

The "growth" state continues, meaning that whenever the hairy troll's "jealousy" is unleashed, it will inevitably inflict a burn on the target, rendering the giant vines ineffective even in terms of physical attacks.

Boom boom——!
This time, the explosive explosion of the giant grassland had very limited power, and the giant crab's "Wide Area Defense" was barely enough to defend against it without taking any damage.

"Cross-cut shears!!"

Finally, the giant crab charged horizontally, leaped high into the air, and its pincers transformed into sharp cross blades that slashed at the giant vine's chest.

Outstanding effect!

The giant vine crashed to the ground, while the giant crab took the opportunity to step on its belly, swaggering around on its body with its two large pincers raised.

"Knock on the shell, knock on the shell—!"

The giant king crab is the true first-generation admiral!!

"All done!"

Ash glanced at his Rotom phone to make sure the Giant Vine's HP was completely depleted, then put away his fighting spirit and grinned.

He roughly confirmed that there was still some risk involved in letting the Blazing Ace and its allies solo a five-star level nest.

As for the Giant Kingler Crab, it's barely manageable.

Of course, if you include Z-Moves, the difficulty will be lower.

Well, we also have to take attribute advantages and disadvantages into account, since we were also tricked by the bizarre "silhouette" in the Pokédex this time.

After the battle, the two exchanged a glance, neither of them having any intention of subduing the giant vine. So they quickly recalled their Pokémon and ran towards the exit of the den.

Back in the Cool Wetlands, Ash perked up; next up was the "loot division" of the five-star den's spoils! (End of Chapter)
