He knows Pokémon better than me.

After half an hour.

The pot in front of Lapras had long been emptied, but Butterfree still had a third of its Dynamax soup left.

Ba Dadie stared intently, cradling her swollen belly, so small that she could barely stand on the ground.

“Butterfly.”

It stared longingly at Ash, clearly already full.

Ash could only look to Lucario for help, but the latter shook its head.

The Great Soup in front of you must be completely consumed to be effective, and it doesn't have a long shelf life.

Lucario shrugged helplessly; it seemed the Max Soup version would need further iterations.

Otherwise, it would be unreasonable to make Caterpie and Rayquaza drink the same amount of Dynamax Soup.

"Go for it, Big Butterfly! Try to finish it in one go!"

Ash could only sit in front of Butterfree, gently encouraging her while feeding her the remaining 1/3 of the Dynamax Soup with a spoon.

"Butterfly. Butterfly, oh butterfly."

Butterfly could only let out a low, aggrieved whimper as she tried to swallow, her pink eyes welling up with tears.

After forcing myself to drink it all, my stomach swelled up completely, as if I were pregnant for 1000 steps.

Her cheeks turned red, and she could only sit upside down on the ground, completely turning into a fat butterfly.

"Done~"

Ash breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly hugged Butterfree in front of him, gently stroking its belly to help it digest.

That should allow them to Gigantamax, right?
I've seen Gigantamax Lapras before in a mobile live stream.

It is the ace partner used by Magua's mother. During battle, dazzling musical notes will appear around her.

As for Gigantamax Butterfree, it has previously faced a wild den boss head-on. It has extremely large, turquoise wings and is also a very attractive creature.

I wonder if the pink Butterfree will undergo any new changes after Gigantamaxing?

"Unfortunately, you'll have to wait until tomorrow to try Gigantamax."

Beside him, Magua reminded him.

Now, he's become somewhat unsurprised by a mutated pink Butterfly.

After all, there are mythical and legendary Pokémon here, so shiny or mutated Pokémon don't seem so unusual.

The two looked toward the watchtower, whose outline was already taking shape.

Master Xiong of martial arts incorporated the profound principles of continuous water flow into his bricklaying and plastering movements, building bricks with incredible speed.

The right foot of the Blazing Ace occasionally bursts into flames, rapidly drying the cement.

Perfect timing, I can also practice this new move, "Flame Kick".

In half a day, the watchtower was already one-third complete.

"The progress is already very fast. If Xisuo Construction Company were to take over the project, it would probably take half a month to build one tower."

Magua commented, while also taking a jab at Hisoka Corporation.

His tone made no attempt to hide his contempt for the company.

However, the control device for the Dynamax environment has already been delivered and is currently in the manufacturing area where two Ironbone Golems are making Wingballs; it hasn't been unpacked yet.

"Xisso Corporation?"

Ash rubbed Butterfree's belly as he murmured to himself.

Those two upper-class nobles with noses on their eyes, right? The Flame Ace originally came from them.

He also didn't have a good impression of these two people, and their companies were far inferior to Chairman Lotz's.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll take Lapras and Butterfree around the area first~"

Although Mr. Kawu's Mech Arena next door is open to him, it doesn't matter if the Gigantamax test is delayed by a day or two. Ash simply put Lapras back into its Poké Ball for the time being, and picked up the chubby Butterfree, preparing to introduce the surrounding Wild Area to these two Pokémon.

These two aren't as bold as Gengar, who dares to run around anywhere and tries to rush into any crack they see.

"Messi!"

Doronmecia immediately followed with delight, and when passing by Yaya Lake, it could even go back to visit its mother!

A short while later, at the shore of Ya Ya Lake.

"Ruto—!"

Before Ash even got close, a long, drawn-out dragon roar came from the center of the lake.

Amidst the billowing mist of the small island in the lake, the dark blue Doronbaluto burst through the air, surrounded by several lively and adorable Doronmesia.

"Messi!!"

Upon seeing his long-lost mother, little Doron instantly tensed up and darted out like an arrow, happily circling around Doron Balto and sticking to him.

Draco nodded gratefully to Ash, seemingly pleased that his child was being well cared for.

Ash waved and smiled, letting the mother and son fly to the central island to reminisce, while he walked straight to the lakeshore.

boom!
He released the dragon with a backhand motion, and it landed on the water's surface. Feeling the coolness and moisture of the lake, the dragon immediately let out a low, contented neigh.
"Lap~!"

Ash reached out and rubbed Lapras's cheek, reminding it:

"Now you can relax here on your own. Oh, and there's a lake nearby."

He pointed to the left side of Yaya Lake.

Although the dragon has difficulty moving on land, it is skilled at using ice!
It would be entirely possible to create an ice path, allowing people to glide across the ice all the way to the adjacent Lake Minas, or even back to the Watchtower Castle.

"If you run into any trouble, go and talk to that Doronbaruto from earlier."

Uh, it should be nothing serious.

He knew in his heart that Chenglong was a general who had fought alongside him for many years, and even if he was a bully in the wilderness, he should be able to beat him at will.

"Lap~!"

Chenglong nodded, then swam towards the depths of Yaya Lake, finally plunging into the water, leaving only bubbling bubbles on the surface.

After migrating to various seas over the years, it seems that even the dragon is getting tired of it.

Such a calm and exquisite lake is a perfect place to relax.

They're small and cute!

Ash watched as Lapras resurfaced on the distant lake, leisurely playing in the water, before turning his gaze back to the stuffed creature in his arms.

"Let's go, Butterfly! I'll take you to the Sunlit Forest to digest properly!"

The Forest of Light is located south of Ya Ya Lake. He remembered that there used to be a bully named Tyrant Flower there. He wondered if it had been captured by someone.
"Butterfly~!"

Butterfree managed to flap its wings and land back on Ash's shoulder, blinking its big pink eyes as it curiously looked around.

The scenery behind Zhenxin Town is completely different.

The Pokémon along the way, especially the Bug-type Pokémon, were completely different; you couldn't see Caterpie and Weedle, which were common in Pallet Town.

"Queen of the Night, Queen of the Night"

Ash looked around for a long time but couldn't find Vileplume. It must have been caught, right?
However, another bully appeared in this forest, suddenly flying down from a tree and blocking the road.

His gaze was fixed intently on Ba Dadie.

The pink Butterfree is undoubtedly the most beautiful Pokémon among Bug-type Pokémon.

Not to mention, she's heavily pregnant now.

"Yincricket——!!"

The new bully, the Speaker Cricket, rubbed its sickle-like claws, already harboring wolfish ambitions towards the Butterfly! (End of Chapter)
