He knows Pokémon better than me.

Back in the basement of the watchtower, besides having an extra Poké Ball, the two also had a lot more loot, just as plentiful as the six-star den on the Isle of Armor they had previously encountered.

"Hehe~ I'll just take a few stones~"

Maga knew that this Dynamax raid battle was basically relying on this Valkyrie Electric Mouse for damage output, so he only symbolically took a few rare ores and gave the rest to Ash.

Among the several XL experience candies, there was also a golden bottle cap.

"Another golden crown!"

Ash was delighted. Only high-level Pokémon were suitable for this, so he could have Lucario undergo some extreme training another day.

Master Lu, you also need a massage to maintain your health.

Then came the ingredients for the Mint, the Special Ointment, and all sorts of other items. Ash packed them all away.

"Anyway, let's go outside first and talk about it then."

Magua pointed out that the basement was covered in dust, and the two men's faces were covered in sweat and black marks, making them look like coal miners in a mine.

Returning to the first floor from the basement, he called out to Pot, who was waiting upstairs:

"Use a power trick, then a rockfall!!"

Shuttle nodded, its body flashing with an arc of light, its defensive power soaring to the heavens, but its attack power was on par with Magikarp's. It was a "super specialization" student, but after using Power Trick, it switched its attack and defense.

"Potpot—!"

The pot instantly transformed into a superhero, its tiny yellow hands bulging with exaggerated muscles as it easily moved all the collapsed stones blocking the wooden door to the other side.

This way, the two of them wouldn't need to climb up to the second floor; they could simply exit through the main entrance on the first floor.

Before long, the two returned to the castle manor. Mr. Mime understood immediately, took Ash's spoils, and happily sorted and put them away.

These are all great items!

Ash quickly took out the Poké Ball he had just used, and only fully released his Aura Power when he reached the open space of the training ground.
Bang bang!

The Poké Ball exploded instantly, and Venusaur's massive three-meter-tall body landed on the ground with a thud, causing the ground to tremble.

Many Pokémon gathered around, curiously examining the unconscious Venusaur.

"So the Poké Ball couldn't hold on for long?"

Magua's lips twitched slightly; it had borne a weight that its age shouldn't have allowed it to bear.

Ash chuckled dryly. Although he could indeed physically lock the Poké Ball in place with his bare hands, the material of the Poké Ball was what it was. If it hadn't been forcibly glued together by the power of Aura, it would have already exploded during the struggle.

"You're perfect for replacing this one!"

Ash rummaged through the Poké Ball's storage box for a while, finally pulling out a heavy, jet-black Poké Ball with a vintage wood grain texture and a very obvious zipper-like mechanical mechanism.

Washing Green Black Technology, Giant Heavy Ball!

Like the Flying Spinner, it is also the most effective ultra version in its series, specifically designed to capture heavy targets.

Of course, there are also drawbacks, namely that it is quite heavy and will fall straight down about two meters in front of you when thrown.

When using it, you basically have to hide in the grass to get close and then ambush the target to subdue it.

Perfect timing to use it to catch this Venusaur!

Ash approached Venusaur and threw out a Giant Heavy Ball, which has a higher catch rate than an Ultra Ball.

With almost no effort, the subjugation was completed once again.

"What kind of Poké Balls are these?"

Curious, Magu approached the "Poké Ball storage box" specially organized by Mr. Mime. There were all sorts of colorful Poké Balls, and some he had never seen before.

It seems that the Flying Wing Ball has become very popular in the Galar region in the past week.

Beside him were several boxes on display. Magua swallowed hard. Not only was their combat strength ridiculously strong, but their collection was also completely unfathomable.

"Come out, Venusaur! Magearna, lend a hand!"

After successfully catching Venusaur, Ash released it again and instructed Magearna to use Flower Therapy.

Boom boom!

The pink energy cannon exploded on Venusaur, scattering into beautiful cherry blossoms. Soon after, Venusaur woke up peacefully.

"can't read"

Magua rubbed his head, and before he could say anything, a giant pincer crab had already come sideways in front of him, and their eyes met.

"Knock on the shell—!"

The giant crab immediately spat out a thick cloud of bubbles at him.

Magua thought she had been suddenly attacked by seafood and was about to dodge, but the bubbles were exceptionally soft and did not cause any pain.

When the giant crab opened its mouth wide and exhaled a vortex of air, blowing the bubbles completely away, he realized that his face, clothes, and skin were all completely refreshed, and he had a built-in whitening filter.

"So it's dry cleaning?"

The Kingler did the same thing, then spitting out cleaning bubbles at Ash to wash away the dust he had gotten on his feet in the Watchtower basement.

It is a "foam dry cleaning" product, so there is absolutely no need to wet it.

After finishing, the giant crab even shook its pincers in a show of defiance:
"Knock on the shell!"

As a general of the Kanto region, don't underestimate his mastery of these basic techniques. He has long since reached the pinnacle of mastery over things like bubble cleaning, wet cleaning, and dry-wet separation!
On the other side, Venusaur, having awakened, began to look at everyone, finally fixing its gaze on Ash and Pikachu.

"Bulbasaur!"

Venusaur couldn't help but shudder, remembering Pikachu's Giant Slash.

Although I don't know how the den boss calculates its age, I can tell just by looking at it that the Venusaur in front of me is an old Pokémon.

She has a gentle personality and doesn't have any resistance to being subdued.

Bulbasaur.

It gave Ash a low growl as a greeting, then looked around.

Finally, I slowly walked to the edge of Shemi's planting area, found a spot to lie down and bask in the sun—

Due to the properties of chlorophyll, the surface of the body glows with a greenish sheen.

It adapted very well and soon started sleeping soundly.

The banana leaves and red flowers behind it blend in with the surrounding plants and environment.

"Bari~!"

Mr. Mime had already packed up his spoils and invited the two to rest and have tea at the round table under the shade of the Dwarf Grass.

The two sat down, and then it got down to business.

After a tense and exciting Dynamax Raid Battle, Ash and Magikarp's relationship progressed rapidly, becoming like that of old friends.

"So, Mr. Maga, what's the next step? How do we transform this place into a Dynamax environment?!"

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but ask:
"Are you going to seal it off, to enclose the entire watchtower castle?"

After drinking a cup of black tea, Ma Gua's mood finally calmed down, and he was finally able to get back to his area of ​​expertise.

He pushed up his sunglasses, looked at the Venusaur sleeping in the corner, and said:
"No need, the key is actually that Pokémon!" (End of Chapter)
