One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

After all, his Pokémon weren't actually housed in Poké Balls.

Laboon, which had been hovering behind Crimson, swayed its tail as if struggling to swim in the air, and finally slid onto the battlefield.

"Huh? What kind of Pokémon is this?!"

When Lulina saw Labu, she was first curious about Labu's breed.

But then, she confidently smiled, hands on her hips:

"But it's no use!"

"Any of your Pokémon will be instantly defeated by my Maxi-Giganotosaurus!"

"Don't speak too soon, Lulina."

Just then, a crimson voice suddenly entered her ears.

Immediately afterwards, Crimson continued:

"Alright, Lab!"

"Put away your mini form!"

"This is a rare opportunity, so let's show this true native of the Pokémon world what a real Dynamax is!!!"

"Activating the floating form!!!"

"Awooo~!!!!!"

A deafening roar, like the cry of a dragon, suddenly came from the mouth of the tiny Labu.

The next moment, its body suddenly expanded rapidly.

After switching Devil Fruit powers, Laboon's size immediately returned to normal without the Mini-Mini Fruit ability to sustain him.

In an instant, the sky above the entire arena darkened.

Chapter 477 Gigantamax Merry (Seeking monthly votes~)

"What...what is this!?"

Looking at the enormous monster that suddenly enveloped the entire sky above, Lulina's eyes widened as she looked up at the sky in disbelief.

Even the Gigantamaxed armored warrior now appears so insignificant beneath this behemoth.

At this moment, Lurina's mind wasn't on how to defeat this strange Pokémon, but rather on what would happen to them later...

How do I fight this?!

Such a huge Pokémon could easily take away all the audience members with just a light bump, right?

Lulina, within the realm of combat, possesses intelligence no different from that of a normal person.

Before she could react, Crimson, who was opposite him, struck another pose that shocked her.

"It's not over yet!"

The crimson voice appeared again.

Lulina looked up, only to be horrified to find that Crimson was striking the exact same pose as she had just been.

That is, the form in which a Pokémon becomes Dynamaxed!

"Wait! What are you doing!?"

Lulina shouted loudly, but as a contestant, she had no way to stop Crimson's actions at that moment.

The crimson figure, with its head bowed, gave a mysterious smile.

Knowing how the world works, he wouldn't care about the lives or deaths of the audience.

Furthermore, he really wanted to see how spectacular Laboon, with its gigantic body, would become after it Dynamaxed!

"Laboon, Max Evolve!!!"

Sizzle!

A burst of dazzling, immense energy suddenly erupted from the crimson wrist.

He wasn't a traditional trainer, so he didn't need to follow the Max Evolution process, injecting Max Energy into a Poké Ball and then transferring it to Labuan.

A mysterious, immense energy shot into the sky, surging directly towards Laboon, who was silently waiting in the heavens.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to tremble.

From an angle unseen from inside the venue, terrifying cirrus clouds had already enveloped the entire city of Gongmen, centered on Labu.

Laboon's body continued to expand under the influence of the immense energy.

In the blink of an eye, a pitch-black sky, as hard as steel, appeared above everyone's heads.

"It's really spectacular!"

With her exceptional perception, Crimson was able to "see" Laboon's current form completely.

Unlike Mega Evolution, Dynamax doesn't drastically change a Pokémon's appearance.

The changes brought about by Dynamax primarily affect the size of Pokémon.

And Labrador's Dynamax form perfectly embodies this.

If Laboon's previous size was already comparable to an aircraft carrier, then in his Dynamax form, he's practically a giant spaceship!

The shadow cast by his body alone was enough to envelop the entire city of Gongmen.

Even Little Merry, standing to the side, couldn't help but gape in astonishment upon seeing Laboon's Dynamax form.

"I hope the reward after clearing the game will allow me to take this Dynamax power with me!"

"In that case, next time Mary Geoise is destroyed, it won't just be the worthless outer districts that get hurt!"

His crimson eyes gleamed faintly as he murmured softly.

Heavenly King!?

With Gigantamaxed Labrador around, even the legendary Ancient Weapons have no choice but to give way to Labrador!

It will show the world...

Who is the true ruler of the skies?!

Turning his gaze back, and seeing the terrified expression on Lulina's face, Crimson decided not to bother the beautiful girl who had finally regained her senses.

He immediately gave the order: "Labu, use the water cannons!"

"What!?" Lulina, who had forgotten that she was at the finals, was suddenly stunned.

But the next second, she heard a huge roar like rolling thunder in her ears.

"Ow~!"

Following closely behind was a massive water cannon powerful enough to destroy the entire palace arena!

Based on the normal Dynamax form, all Pokémon moves should be transformed into Dynamax moves of the corresponding type.

However, perhaps because the machine also felt that Dynamaxing was not such an inconvenient thing, the Red Pokémon can still use normal Pokémon moves after Dynamaxing.

However, its scale is far more spectacular than that of ordinary Pokémon moves!

boom!!!

A giant water cannon descended from the sky, like a planet composed entirely of liquid falling down.

The deafening sound filled the entire arena, and the raging water instantly filled the entire final venue, roaring outwards like a tsunami.

The poor armored warriors barely had a chance to utter a cry of pain before being overwhelmed by the terrifying waves, losing their ability to fight, and sinking into the horrific tsunami.

puff...

Just then, several large drainage channels suddenly appeared on the walls around the arena, and with the help of water pumps, the water that had accumulated in the final arena was quickly drained.

After a long while, Lulina, soaking wet, collapsed to the ground in discomfort, a drop of clear liquid dribbling from the corner of her mouth. She coughed lightly as she looked at the crimson figure that had caused all of this.

Although she was a master of water elemental magic, she was helpless against the tsunami-like impact, her fragile human body was powerless.

"Bastard! Are you trying to kill me?!" Lulina shouted angrily.

The battle rules in Pokémon competitions clearly stipulate that you cannot attack the trainer.

However, if the shockwave generated when attacking a Pokémon is too large and accidentally injures the trainer, there's nothing that can be done about it.

"Feel sorry."

Faced with Lulina's accusations, Crimson smiled apologetically.

But wanting only to move forward with the process, he gestured with his hand to remind him:

"However, your Goryeo Warrior has lost its ability to battle. Gym Leader Lurina, please release your next Pokémon to fight!"

"What did you say!?"

Upon hearing Crimson's words, Lulina immediately bristled like a stressed kitten.

She looked at the Dynamaxed Labyrinth, which had completely blocked out the sunlight.

You want me to fight this guy?!

Are you kidding me?!

"No... I'm not fighting anymore!"

Knowing full well that she couldn't defeat the Crimson Ruruina, she shook her head, then stood up, abruptly raised an arm, and shouted into the arena:

I abstain!

what! ?

Lulina's sudden abandonment startled Crimson.

He never expected that these NPCs, designed by the machine, would actually forfeit during the battle.

Wait a minute, what about all that combat experience...?

Just as Crimson was filled with doubt and surprise, a familiar message pop-up suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

With Lulina's withdrawal, the machine not only provided the experience points that would have been gained from defeating her.
