He knows Pokémon better than me.

The following day, the reconstruction of the watchtower began in full swing.

The giant crab precisely cut the stone into square bricks and stacked them to one side.

Martial Arts Bear Master and Blazing Ace took on the role of bricklayers, plastering and stacking bricks. The former soaked in cement, while the latter released sparks and dried quickly at high temperatures. Their collaboration turned out to be surprisingly harmonious.

The Mr. Mime, acting as the project manager, constantly adjusted the specific positions from behind.

As for the stronger bear and Melmetana...
Ash dared not assign these two to be bricklayers, fearing that they might dismantle the tower if they even slightly trembled.

Why not go to the small mine behind, blast more rocks, and bring them back?

"Remember to leave an opening in this position."

Margua, holding the architectural blueprints, specifically reminded the Mr. Mime.

The rebuilt watchtower will also need to be equipped with a device to regulate the environmental range of Dynamaxed enemies.

This is a patented device of the Galarian Alliance, probably a kind of advanced technology similar to the Ghost Sword Stone, which can control the flow of Galarian particles.

However, thanks to Chairman Rose's special consideration this time, Ash doesn't need to pay any extra. He can simply install the device once it arrives.

"At that time, everyone can freely engage in Dynamax battles in this open space."

Magu stood on the west side of the castle, arms outstretched, smugly outlining his plans to Ash:
"Moreover, this is a giant nest, and the concentration of Galar particles is on par with the Palace Arena, which means you can use Dynamax to fight at high intensity as you please."

The effect is even more powerful than his Arena of Battle!
Xiao Zhi smiled and nodded, full of anticipation.

However, the location of the Cool Leopard family may have to be moved to the open space behind the castle.

As for Lucario, he was freed from the physically demanding work of building the watchtower.

Glug glug—!
At this moment, two large pots were set up in the courtyard, with thick pink soup boiling inside, mushroom fragments floating on the surface, and a rich aroma filling the air.

Lucario even struck a very professional pose while sprinkling salt, bending its arm to the side, and letting the salt drop gracefully from its elbow.
The cooking technique, at level 4, left all the Pokémon around him speechless.

"Is this the Dynamax Soup that works for all eighteen types? It does look a bit different."

Magua also came over and sniffed around.

As the gym leader, he does possess the skill to cook Rock-type Max Soup.

Meanwhile, Ash was on the phone with Professor Oak—

"Oh, Ash, Lapras just happened to be passing through Pallet Town recently, and I've already put it back into its Poké Ball."

On the screen, Professor Oak is shaking two Poké Balls:
"Next is Butterfree's Poké Ball, which I have ready. We can teleport there now."

Xiao Zhi was overjoyed and quickly ran towards his house.

"Great, Doctor! Wait a moment, I'll be teleporting right away!"

After the house was built, various hardware and software facilities naturally had to be installed as well.

With Mr. Mime around, there's absolutely no need to worry about that. There's a telephone communication device in my house right now, so I can remotely trade Pokémon anytime.

Bah! Bah!
A short while later, when Ash came out again, he had two Poké Balls in his hand.

"A familiar feeling~!"

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips; these two were his companions from his first trip to the Kanto region.

At this moment, Lucario has completely figured out how to cook the advanced version of Max Soup.

Without further ado, Ash immediately summoned his two Pokémon with Gigantamax potential to the Galar region for a meal.

Back in the courtyard, he waved for everyone to disperse, took a deep breath, and threw two Poké Balls under everyone's watchful eyes.

The other Pokémon all showed expressions of curiosity and caution.

After all, the veterans Ash brought with him—Lucario and Gengar—are both extremely strong.

Even the unassuming Bricaron from before possessed immense strength.

boom!boom!
As the red light fell, a massive, armored water beast appeared on the right. Its gentle gaze swept across the surroundings, and its peaceful and serene aura instantly drowned out the noise of the nearby construction site.

On the other side, a pink butterfly flew into the air. It had a pair of round, deep pink eyes, and even its wings were light pink.

"twitter.!"

The surrounding Pokémon immediately began whispering among themselves, discussing the origins of these two seniors.

Butterfly and Lapras looked at each other, the former looking somewhat flustered, its wings flapping more vigorously.

"Pica~!"

Fortunately, among the unfamiliar faces around him were some familiar faces. Pikachu greeted them with a smile, skillfully jumped onto Lapras's head, and then touched hands with Butterfree.

"Luca!"

Lucario, on the other hand, was much calmer and nodded to the two of them.

We all know each other well in the backyard.

"Tsk, I wonder where that Gengar guy has gone."

Xiao Zhi looked around. His old friend had come to visit, but he wondered where this guy had gone off to.

He was well-behaved for a while, but that didn't last long before he started running off and messing around again.

"Die~!" "Lap~!"

Butterfree landed affectionately on Ash's shoulder, and Lapras stretched its head over and gently nuzzled against him.

Come to think of it, it's been a long time since I've fought alongside these two Pokémon.

"Hey, Butterfly and Lapras, let's stay here for a while!"

Ash smiled. There were Lake Axew and Lake Milotic nearby, so Lapras had plenty of room to move around.

After a brief exchange between the new and old Pokémon, Lucario extinguished the fire and gave up his spot.

A peculiar aroma wafted up, and the bubbles in the soup pot gradually subsided.
Two pots of Dynamax Soup, version 2.0, are now complete!
"You two, now you can drink the soup. Make sure you finish it all! After you finish, you can Gigantamax!"

Ash carried Butterfree to the Dynamax Soup and gently reminded him.

Ba Da Die and Cheng Long exchanged a glance, the former's eyes slightly furrowing. This huge pot of soup was larger than its body.

For Lapras, it was no problem at all. It exhaled a breath of icy wind to quickly cool down the Max Soup, then elegantly lowered its head and calmly drank the soup.

The taste is pretty good!

Seeing that Butterfly was hesitant, Chenglong breathed out a breath of icy wind to the side to help Butterfly cool down as well.

"Butterfly~!"

So Ba Da Die also landed on the edge of the stove, lowered her head and started drinking.

Seeing that there were still many Pokémon around, drooling and staring longingly, Lucario raised its arm, signaling to calm down:

"Luca!"

Max Soup is a nutritious and delicious soup, and it plans to cook a pot for all the other Pokémon, even if it doesn't have the Gigantamax effect. At least it can satisfy their cravings.

Inside the castle, the Pokémon immediately became lively. (End of Chapter)
