He knows Pokémon better than me.

The Steelraven was very fast, flying straight through the air at full speed. In less than an hour, the open wilderness came into view.

Under the cover of night, the wilderness became more tranquil, with Lake Minas and Lake Yaya as calm as mirrors, reflecting the moonlight.

A purplish-red beam of light shot into the sky from the south, likely indicating a newly spawned Pokémon den.

To the northwest of Yaya Lake, a castle stands amidst the flat plains, illuminated from afar but making no sound.

"Finally home!"

Ash was filled with excitement. He was holding Corviknight's ankle with one hand and had been holding this position for almost an hour. Now his hand was starting to ache.

As the Steelraven landed, the first to react were naturally the packs of leopards and foxes on both sides of the castle.

Although foxes and cats are naturally afraid of these large birds of prey, they still raised their chins, arched their backs, bared their teeth, and hissed in the direction of the Steel-armored Raven, as if they had already regarded themselves as the castle's security guards.

Especially since you can occasionally sneak into the castle to "steal vegetables"—

Of course, all of this was with Shemi's tacit approval.

The crops grown in Shemi are far superior to those grown in the wild in both nutrition and taste!

However, after smelling Ash and Corviknight's scent, the Feraligatr and Leopard immediately calmed down, wagging their tails and turning into harmless and adorable creatures.

"Thank you for your hard work. Get some rest now."

Ash landed at the castle gate and temporarily recalled Corviknight.

Although it was night, it seemed that they hadn't rested yet. A wave of aura ripples flashed through Ash's mind, and he knew that Lucario inside was still awake.

"Shaymi~!"

Soon, Shemi came running out the door with her short legs, barking happily while her eyes were still sleepy and barely open, as if she had just gotten out of bed.

"You're full of energy, Shaymi!"

Ash casually put his arm around Shaymin, then thought for a moment and took out a piece of Galar cardamom, a specialty of the Isle of Armor, from his backpack:
"Oh, right, this is a gift."

"Shami?"

Shemi sniffed it; it had a strong, spicy smell. She accepted the strange gift.

Xiao Zhi then walked through the gate, put down his luggage, and looked around. He hadn't been home for a long time, and the place hadn't changed much.

The most conspicuous area is the manufacturing area next to the gate, which is piled with messy materials.

rumble!

The engine was running, and smoke was slowly rising from the tail of the machine tool track. Two Iron-Boned Earthlings were sweating profusely as they rubbed blue and white flying wing balls.

Lucario stood behind him, arms crossed, giving stern instructions—

Since Uncle Pierre transferred two apprentices to its side, it has finally been able to free its hands and work with just its mouth.

In the corner next to the wall, there were also a lot of flying wing balls piled up.

Upon seeing Ash, Lucario nodded in acknowledgment, its gaze involuntarily falling on Ash's waist.

Through the waveguide, it could sense that the two little guys seemed to have undergone tremendous changes.

"Oh, not bad~"

Xiao Zhi then looked at the planting area on the right. Many of the seed-growing plants had already grown, and they should be ready for harvest in a few days.

The giant grass tree was already over two meters tall, clearly growing vigorously under Shemi's care.

"Bari~!"

Just then, a polite and elegant familiar voice came from behind. Xiao Zhi turned around and was immediately dumbfounded. Why was his older cousin dressed like that?!
At this moment, the Mr. Mime was dressed in a sharp black tailcoat and stood upright with his right hand resting in front of him, giving off the air of a seasoned butler.

"Uh, it's actually quite pretty."

I must say, it actually looks pretty convincing!
Upon seeing the main character, the Mr. Mime became cheerful, bowed politely, and then began to introduce the recent situation of the castle.

"Bari bari".

As he spoke, his phone, Rotom, provided real-time translation, and the main focus was on his collaboration with Uncle Pierre.

One word sums it up: make a fortune!

Various high-tech specialties, especially the flying wing ball, have made them a fortune, and the castle's current revenue figures are quite impressive.

In addition, with two Iron-Boned Earthlings now serving as helpers, production efficiency is also keeping up.

Many competitors have been working hard to crack the Flying Wing Ball and try to replicate it, but their progress is almost over.

"Bari bari".

The Mr. Mime raised a finger, looking smug.

They plan to open-source the Flying Wing Ball in a few days and then release the even better Flying Shuttle Ball!
Mr. Mime rubbed his hands together, revealing an evil expression. He was going to teach all the Galar merchants a lesson!
"hehe."

Ash chuckled dryly. Is this guy really an Ice/Psychic type? It seems more like an Ice/Dark type.
However, he wasn't very interested in running the business and preferred to delegate everything to his reliable older cousin.

So he unpacked his backpack and took out all the spoils of his journey—

Some plants native to the Isle of Armor, including Galar Cardamom and Gigantamax Honey, have been given to Shaymin, which should provide some new assistance in farming.

Next up is the Miss Honey Leaf 2.0 version of the Dynamax Soup tutorial video.

"Luca."

Lucario stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

Ash then told Mr. Mime that there might be a "giant nest" hidden in the nearby watchtower.

"Bari."

The Mr. Mime looked surprised.

It had originally planned to consult with Xiaozhi, and once the Winged Planet could operate normally and had sufficient funds, it would take the time to demolish the watchtower directly.

After all, the entire castle and estate were brand new, except for the adjacent watchtower, which was dilapidated and incomplete, making it a very poor sight.

"Bari, bari"

But if a giant nest is hidden there, then that's a different story.

Mr. Mime's expression gradually became excited. Currently, "Galar's Nests" are extremely rare. There is one on the Isle of Armor, one in the Crown Tundra to the south, and one in Palace City to the north.
"Gongmen City?"

Xiao Zhi was stunned; this was the first time he had ever heard of this.

Mr. Mime then holds up his phone, Rotom, to display information:

The location is the Miyamon Arena in Miyamon City.

After all, this is the grandest battleground in the Galar region. If the Galar Particles suddenly run out halfway through the battle, making it impossible to Dynamax, wouldn't that be awkward?
Events like the League Conference or the Masters stage of the World Championship can host multiple matches in a single day.

Only Pokémon dens of the "Giant Nest" level can provide such a large and sustained amount of Galar Particles, ensuring that Dynamax battles can be used throughout.

"So, the Palace Arena is the best example of that!"

Ash's eyes lit up. This meant he could also transform his Watchtower Castle into another "Gateway" where Dynamax could be used at high intensity! (End of Chapter)
