Roy ultimately couldn't move into Ash's house, while Gary accompanied Agatha to Ash's house, finally giving Agatha some time to spend with him.
Agatha, summoned away by Gengar, acted like a drama queen, constantly turning back to look at Roy and the Ancient Gengar making faces at him.
Roy then took Ash and Serena back to their summer camp dormitory, where he now also works as the dormitory manager.
After settling the two little ones in, Roy returned alone to the Wetland Marsh Zone in the backyard, took out the Wishing Star he had exchanged from the System Shop, and noticed that the red circular patterns on it had faded somewhat.
Unlike Key Stones, Wishing Stars cannot be placed directly on various accessories such as bracelets, bangles, and pendants to trigger the Mega Stone within Pokémon through their own power.
The fundamental reason for Pokémon Dynamax is that Eternatus releases Dynamax Factor, causing Pokémon to Dynamax uncontrollably.
The reason the Dynamax Band allows Pokémon to Dynamax is because the Wishing Star inside has the Ability of attracting and absorbing Galar particles, thus controlling the Pokémon's Dynamaxing.
The Dynamax Factor also comes from Eternatus in the Galar region, which means I still need to go to the Galar region?
Roy looked at the calm, energy-free Wishing Star in his hand, his mind wandering to thoughts of Rose's secretary, Oleana, Leon's girlfriend, Sonia, and Professor Magnolia, Loz's grandmother...
How did they create the original Dynamax Band?
However, Dynamax has not yet appeared in the world. Of course, even if it did, he wouldn't be in the Galar region and wouldn't be able to access any information about Dynamax.
Roy looked at the purple stone and Max Mushrooms in his hand with some worry. He had all the items for Mega Evolution and Gigantamax, but he couldn't use either of the battle systems, which was the most frustrating thing.
Roy fell into deep thought. Wishing Stars and Key Stones have the same function: triggering the energy within them to allow Pokémon Mega Evolution and Dynamax.
Recalling the energy of Mega Evolution that he had just felt, he knew that his Ghost Power could replace his own physical strength, allowing the Pokémon to maintain its Mega Evolution form.
Can the Ghost Power within one's own body forcibly trigger the energy within the Wishing Star?
After all, he could create Pokéblock with his own Ghost Power.
Having formed an idea, Roy decided to give it a try. He condensed a ball of Ghost Power his hand and used it to touch the Wishing Star, causing the red patterns on the Wishing Star to activate.
Soon, the Ghost Power encountered some resistance on the Wishing Star.
There's hope!
Roy then increased the frequency of his Ghost Power output, and the Ghost Power directly broke through the barrier of the Wishing Star. The red patterns on the purple meteorite lit up, and the circular red patterns condensed at the center of the meteorite.
Is it working?
In his excitement, Roy increased the output of the Ghost Power, but soon Roy discovered that the Wishing Star had suddenly stopped lighting up.
Is too much also not allowed?
Roy controlled the output frequency of the Ghost Power, maintaining it at the previous output level, and the circular pattern on the Wishing Star lit up again.
I see...
Compared to the Key Stone, which actively absorbs your energy to complete the Super, the Wishing Star requires the Ghost Power to be passively triggered.
The Dynamax Band must also have some kind of energy that can trigger the energy inside the Wishing Star, causing it to release the Dynamax Factor it normally absorbs.
As Roy pondered, the red patterns on the purple meteorite reached their peak brightness.
The red patterns on the Wishing Star emitted purple energy that drifted towards the Poké Ball on Roy's waist, causing the Poké Ball to instantly glow with purple light.
Is this working?
However, Roy definitely can't let Pokémon Dynamax in Oak Research Lab's backyard.
He quickly stopped using the Ghost Power in his hand. Without the Ghost Power to drive it, the Wishing Star dimmed again, and the light on the Poké Ball disappeared.
The Dragonite in the backyard watched Roy leave the research lab again in the middle of the night, Drakloak above also looked in the direction Roy had gone.
"Doryu!"
Roy made a "shh" gesture to the two of them and then quietly left Oak Research Lab.
After Roy left, Drakloak told Dragonite the story of how he met Roy... all the way until after they left Meteor Cave.
Dragonite listened to Drakloak's incessant chatter in his ear without finding it annoying, and closed his eyes to doze off.
Roy, with his Ancient Gengar, arrived at the mountains not far from Pallet Town.
Not far from where the ancient Ruins were discovered, Roy summoned the Ancient Gengar from the shadows.
The Ancient Gengar in the shadows rubbed its eyes, still wondering what Roy was up to. Wasn't he asleep at this hour?
Then I looked around and found the surroundings somewhat familiar...
Wait, isn't this his hometown?
Sleep, sleep, sleep until you die.
Roy, the Ancient Gengar, was speechless as he watched it eat its fill, then sleep, then eat again. He reached out and rubbed the Ancient Gengar's chubby face to wake it up.
"Didn't you want to get bigger? Let's try it now."
"Ghost~"
Upon hearing that Roy was going to help him grow bigger, the Ancient Gengar had been feeling a bit sleepy, instantly perked up.
He had some doubts when Roy said he could make him bigger.
Having experienced that Mega Evolution that morning, the Ancient Gengar now completely trusted Roy's words, patting its chest to show that it was ready and would do whatever Roy said.
Roy put the Snorunt into Poké Ball, and then put all the Poké Balls into his Spatial Bracelet to ensure that the Wishing Star's energy would not mistakenly inject the Dynamax Factor into other Poké Balls.
Now, all that remains on his body is the Poké Ball of the Ancient Gengar.
After doing all this, Roy captured the Ancient Gengar and put it into Luxury Ball, instructing the Ancient Gengar to carefully sense the energy within the Wishing Star.
"Ghost~"
Roy took a deep breath and channeled the Ghost Power into the Wishing Star at the same frequency as before, causing the red patterns on the surface of the purple meteorite to glow.
Purple Dynamax Factor emanated from the Wishing Star and drifted towards the Poké Poké Ball in Roy's hand, successfully entering Poké Ball. Subsequently, the Poké Ball in Roy's hand continued to grow larger.
It grew from a size that could be held in one hand to the size of a soccer ball, and the weight of the Poké Ball kept increasing. At the same time, the Poké Ball emitted a purple light.
