Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Leon stayed in Motostoke to oversee the post-disaster situation, while Cynthia and Gadriya also stayed to help.

Because we were riding Rayquaza, we arrived at the Forest of Dreams very quickly this time.

Instead of taking the forest path, Liekong carried Xia Chen directly from above into the ruins where the statues of Zangxiang and Zangranmat once stood.

As the morning sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, it added a touch of warmth to the otherwise somewhat eerie and gloomy Silent Forest.

Xia Chen jumped down from the top of the sky mount, observing his surroundings with the same calm as before.

Where are they?

He was naturally asking about Rayquaza. As both were legendary Pokémon, Xia Chen felt that there should be some kind of connection between the two Pokémon.

Lie Kong glanced at the depths of the ruins, and Xia Chen understood. He picked up the decaying sword and shield and walked in.

"Cangxiang, Zangranmat, I've come to return something."

Legend has it that elves don't care about formalities or politeness, so Xia Chen went straight to the point.

Deep within the mist, two pairs of bright pupils suddenly appeared. A gust of wind blew by, and in the next instant, Cangxiang and Zangranmat appeared in front of Xia Chen.

Their eyes were peaceful, revealing no particular emotion.

Having dealt with so many legendary spirits, Xia Chen wasn't intimidated at all and immediately handed the decaying sword and shield to them.

"Thank you for everything you have done for Galar."

Cangxiang and Zangranmat did not reply, but simply nodded slightly, indicating that Xia Chen should put the things on the ground.

Xia Chen readily complied, and then asked, "Also, we don't know what to do with Wujitai. Can we imprison it in the Weimei Forest and have you look after it?"

Cangxiang shook his head resolutely, and at the same time, a voice resounded in his mind.

"Don't dump this kind of thing on us."

Indeed, the ability to communicate telepathically is a basic ability of legendary Pokémon. I just don't know if it was Zacian or Kuramat who said this.

"The true nature of Eternatus is not as ferocious as it appears. Five thousand years ago, it was a group of ignorant humans who tried to tame it, which caused the disaster. This time, it is just venting its anger over losing its freedom for so many years."

Even if you say that, no one can guarantee it won't go berserk again...

Xia Chen thought to himself, but still asked aloud, "How about sending it back to space?"

If you can't beat them and can't afford to offend them, the best solution is naturally to send them away and never see them again.

However, Zacian shook his head again and replied, "It was attracted by the unique energy of the Galar region and has already made this place its home."

Good news, this means that if he wants to cause trouble, he can only cause trouble for Galar.

The bad news is that if a solution isn't found, it's estimated that everyone in Galar will have to move to another continent.

"So there's no other way?"

Xia Chen still asked, unwilling to give up.

"Use the love and bonds that you humans are best at to influence it?"

Xia Chen: "......"

He couldn't immediately tell whether these were their genuine thoughts or mockery.

Regardless of which method it is, Xia Chen felt that this method was not very reliable.

"Don't worry, that guy is badly injured and can't cause any trouble for a while. The elf behind you, or the other crimson elf, can suppress it."

Xia Chen was somewhat troubled, "But they can't stay in Galar forever."

One is the dragon god of Hoenn, and the other is going on adventures with him. How could he possibly stay in Galar to keep an eye on Eterna?

"Then seal it again using the method from five thousand years ago, but pray that it won't escape next time."

No one can guarantee that; what if there's another madman like Loz?

However, this was all the ideas Zacian and Zangranmat could think of. Afterwards, they carried the sword and shield back into the mist, as if to say goodbye.

Xia Chen had no choice but to return to Quan Guan City with Lie Kong.

…………

Galar was now in complete chaos.

The reason lies in the fact that at the post-disaster press conference, Dan announced that this disaster was not a natural one, but a man-made one—

The instigator was none other than Lóz, the chairman of the Galar Alliance and president of the Marocomón Group.

Giovanni and Yanagi, the two gym leaders in the Kanto region, assisted each other.

The moment this news was released, it sparked a media frenzy across the world's internet!

Mugentana was actually released from Pandora's box!

Xia Chen did not expect that the Pill Emperor would be so decisive, revealing this matter that was enough to shake the whole world just the day after the disaster.

It seems he intends to use this opportunity to completely rebuild the entire Galar League, just like the destroyed Hammerlocke City.

The courage to make this decision alone is something that not everyone can do.

"So, do you have any thoughts about becoming the president of the Galar Alliance?"

Whether jokingly or seriously, Dan said to Xia Chen, "You meet all the criteria: strength, reputation, and honor. I believe the Galatians will support you in the general election."

"Please don't."

Xia Chen waved his hands repeatedly in refusal, "Please don't joke with me like that. I can't even handle the affairs of my own dojo, let alone the affairs of an entire league. Besides, I've never even considered it..."

"Okay, I understand."

"Imperial Pill said helplessly."

Xia Chen's attitude clearly shows how resistant he is.

"Besides, I also have serious things to do."

Xia Chen said, "Dr. Mulan and I believe that the phenomenon of Pokémon growing to gigantic size due to the energy particles emanating from Eternatus is very worthy of research. It may be an existence comparable to Mega Evolution and Tecrystallization."

"Let's call this phenomenon [Dynamax] for now."

The "ultimate" of "Ultimate" in "Ultimate" means "enormous".

Dan Di raised an eyebrow and said with delight, "That's great! If you need anything, just let me know. The Alliance will definitely give strong support to this research."

He has always been a champion with a strong sense of regional pride, and he was quite excited to hear that Galar could also have its own system.

Xia Chen didn't stand on ceremony and nodded, saying, "Definitely."

…………

On the third day after the disaster, Rayquaza took Higanbana and left Galar, returning to Hoenn.

With Gu Leton guarding Xia Chen, there's no need for it to worry.

Cynthia and Gadria also returned to the Sinnoh and Unova regions, respectively.

The post-disaster reconstruction work in Motogakure City is also proceeding in an orderly manner under the leadership of Dante.

Because she did not receive medical treatment, Mukyuu Tana remained in a coma and had not yet regained consciousness.

Xia Chen and the Galar Alliance are still unable to make a decision on how to handle this hot potato.

For the time being, it could only be placed in the underground energy plant where it had been kept, and an attempt was made to awaken it using a small amount of gamma energy.

Xia Chen and Dr. Mulan were in the Energy Factory's laboratory researching the connection between this mysterious energy and Pokémon Dynamax.

With the factory's existing data support, the two men's experiment progressed rapidly.

In just one week, the research on both the principles and practical application of Dynamax has progressed rapidly.

"At present, it seems that Mugentana's body is more like a medium, or a converter."

Dr. Mulan browsed through the newly released test data and analyzed, "The substance that Roz and the others call [Gamma Energy] will produce a series of reactions after being absorbed by Eterna. When it is expelled from the body, it will exist in a gentler particle form, and then the particles will cause the Pokémon to Dynamax."

Xia Chen's research has also yielded fruitful results.

"I tested three groups of Dynamaxed Pokémon and made some initial discoveries about the characteristics of Dynamax."

"Firstly, there is a time limit. It cannot be maintained for a long time like Mega Evolution or Gigantamax. Generally, Dynamax will end after using three moves."

"Secondly, the changes in attack, defense, and speed of Mega Evolution Pokémon are not significant, but their vitality and stamina are greatly enhanced, making them able to withstand almost twice the damage they used to."

"Third, during the Dynamax process, the moves used by Pokémon will be assimilated into moves of the same type. For example, Fire-type moves, whether using Ember or Flame Burst, will eventually become a special Fire-type move with great power. Moreover, using it will activate Sunny Day. The same applies to moves of other types."

"Finally, the Dynamaxing of certain Pokémon not only changes their size but also their form. Pokémon that have been discovered so far include Charizard, Cinderace, and Rillaboom."

In Xia Chen's view, Dynamax is somewhat like a fusion of Mega Evolution and a Z-Move that has not yet been discovered.

It possesses both the form changes and enhancement features of Mega Evolution, and like Z-Moves, it can also increase the power of moves.

Although the enhancement level is not as high as that of Z-Moves, the additional effects are very powerful.

For example, Dynamax moves of the Water, Fire, Ice, and Rock types can apply weather effects, while Flying, Fighting, and Steel types enhance a Pokémon's Speed, Attack, and Defense!

Other types of Dynamax moves also have their own uses and characteristics.

To some extent, Xia Chen felt that Dynamax moves were more practical than Z-Moves.

However, research on Dynamax has not been entirely smooth sailing; one problem has remained unresolved—

The energy, which Xia Chen and Dr. Mulan named the [Galar particle], cannot be stored in a portable manner.

Mega Evolution has Key Stones and Mega Stones, while Mega Crystallization has Mega Crystals.

Both of these items allow trainers to easily help their Pokémon Mega Evolve or Crystallize during battles, while Dynamax does not have such an item.

Studying the principles and effects of Dynamax is secondary; the most important thing is to find a container that can store Galar particles.

In their search for something with this effect, Xia Chen and Dr. Mulan tried many materials, but the results were mediocre.

The problem of storing Galarian particles in containers was not solved until a material native to Galarians called [Wishing Star] appeared.

As for where the Galer particles come from... that's simple, in places where there is absurdity, the air is full of this energy.

Meanwhile, after absorbing gamma energy for a week, Anuttara finally awoke.

Chapter 411 Can you still Dynamax after Mega Evolution?

As Zacian and Kuramatsu said, Eternatus did not show much aggression after awakening.
