"Gengar, let's go!"
When Roy felt the weight of the giant Poké Ball in his hand reach its maximum and stop changing, he threw the giant Poké Ball into the air.
Tiny, dark red energy particles drifted out from the cracks in the sphere, and then the weather above the entire mountain suddenly changed.
The once clear night sky, where stars could be seen, was quickly swallowed up by thick, inky black clouds. The heavy, dark clouds swirled and gathered around the point where the Poké Ball landed, transforming into a huge, swirling thundercloud, with purple lightning constantly flashing.
A flash of red light
The Ancient Gengar inside the giant Poké Ball was also emitting a purple light. The Ancient Gengar watched as its body grew to twice its original size, and as its body gradually grew larger, the dark green tattoos on its body also grew larger, until it reached the size it was when it was first released from the seal and walked out of the Ruins.
Dynamax Gengar has arrived.
After Dynamax, the Ancient Gengar had three red clouds surrounding its head.
The Ancient Gengar never expected that Roy would actually turn him back to his original size, although his strength was no longer what it used to be, and the space within him that could absorb all kinds of attacks no longer existed.
But he felt a new power empowering him, and looking at Roy on the ground, who looked like Little Ant, the Ancient Gengar suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
Seeing the Ancient Gengar restored to its original size, Roy knew that the Dynamax had been successful.
Unfortunately, it's just a regular Dynamax Gengar now, not Gigantamax Gengar.
Roy didn't know the recipe for Max Soup either. If he just boiled Max Mushrooms into soup, he might waste three Max Mushrooms, so he chose to play it safe.
Roy also discovered that while Gengar Dynamax, his own power was still draining away, which means that Dynamax Pokémon also consumes the Pokémon Trainer's energy, but he can still use Ghost Power to replace it.
The Ancient Gengar, having regained its original size, intended to use a Shadow Ball, but instead of Shadow Ball, it conjured a massive energy beam containing Ghost-type energy.
What's going on?
The Ancient Gengar told Roy that it seemed to have suddenly learned several new skills, but it seemed that it could no longer use skills like Shadow Ball.
Roy, however, was not surprised at all.
When Pokémon Dynamax, all of its moves will transform into corresponding Max Move based on their type.
Moves like Protect become Max Guard, Ghost type moves become Max Phantasm, Poison type moves become Max Ooze on...
Although the Ancient Gengar couldn't understand, it knew that it only needed to follow Roy's commands.
"Gengar, use Protect, which you just learned a couple of days ago."
"Ghost~~"
The Ancient Gengar recalled a memory that Roy had transmitted to its mind two days earlier using a head covering similar to a perm.
Then, the Ancient Gengar created an energy shield in front of itself, following its memory.
However, the energy shield that the Ancient Gengar originally wanted to create turned into a huge shield made of purple Ghost-type energy during the creation process, appearing in front of the Dynamax Gengar.
The entire energy shield is about the same height as a Dynamax Ancient Gengar.
This is the Max Guard.
Roy took out Misdreavus's Poké Ball from his Spatial Bracelet and released his Misdreavus.
The moment Misdreavus saw the Dynamax Gengar, it was startled, thinking that the Ancient Gengar had reverted to its original form.
However, after Roy's explanation, Misdreavus understood the current situation. Would it be able to grow to the same size as the current Ancient Gengar after evolving?
Regarding the Misdreavus question, Roy could only say that they could try it later; right now, she needed to test the moves of the Ancient Gengar.
Roy then used a portion of his Ghost Power to help Misdreavus evolve into Flutter Mane with a blue Special Attack boost.
"Misdreavus (Flutter Mane), use the largest Shadow Ball to attack the shield in front of you."
"Dream!"
A shadow sphere with a diameter of 11 meters condensed in front of the Red Orb of the Misdreavus (Flutter Mane), which is also the largest Shadow Ball she can create at this stage.
After the condensation was complete, the Misdreavus (Flutter Mane) hurled the oversized Shadow Ball at the massive purple shield.
The colossal Shadow Ball slammed into the Max Guard, and the collision between spear and shield caused the surrounding mountains to tremble slightly.
Roy, hiding behind Dynamax Gengar, felt a huge surge of energy explode between the Max Guard.
After the collision, the giant Shadow Ball disappeared, but the Max Guard remained standing in front of the Dynamax Ancient Gengar.
Misdreavus's (Flutter Mane) oversized Shadow Ball failed to break through Max Guard, indicating that Max Guard is definitely much tougher than the energy shield created by regular Protect and Quick Guard.
Roy experimented with some of the other moves of the Dynamax Ancient Gengar, such as Max Ooze and Max Darkness...
The only downside is that because it's not Gigantamax Gengar, the Ancient Gengar can't use G-Max Terror.
Although the Ancient Gengar felt that its strength was not as good as before, it was already satisfied.
Compared to the three turns in the game, the Dynamax process in reality lasts about 5 minutes.
When the Ancient Gengar returned to its original size, the Ghost Power consumed by Roy also ceased.
Compared to using Ghost Power to replace physical strength, it allows Pokémon to remain in Mega Evolution form indefinitely.
Dynamax requires not only your stamina but also Dynamax Factor. Once the Dynamax Factor is depleted, the Pokémon will naturally exit its Dynamax form.
The Ancient Gengar, having reverted to its Dynamax form, returned to its Poké Ball and fell into Roy's hands.
Just as Roy was about to release the Ancient Gengar to ask how it felt, he heard a "snap" sound.
What's that noise?
Roy looked down and saw that the Luxury Ball in his hand had developed a crack, and then... it simply collapsed.
The Ancient Gengar inside the Luxury Ball plopped down on the ground, seemingly unaware of what had happened. Was Roy going to release it?
Are you not going to keep them anymore?
Hmm... It seems I'll need to create an accessory similar to the Dynamax Band that allows me to control energy input, otherwise wasting a Poké Ball every time Dynamax is quite troublesome.
Looking at the Ancient Gengar, now freed from the constraints of its Poké Ball, Roy wasn't worried at all about whether it would run away without its Ancient Gengar Luxury Ball.
Because the Luxury Ball was never able to control the opponent.
After a month of getting to know each other, the relationship between the Ancient Gengar and him is still quite harmonious, especially since he has won over the Ancient Gengar's stomach.
The most enthusiastic eater these days is the Ancient Gengar, which can even finish the Dusclops.
This made the Dusclops want to Mimic, but even his huge stomach wouldn't allow it.
Roy didn't know who else besides himself could afford to support this fat man with purple tattoos.
(I've read everyone's suggestions for the accessories from yesterday and felt everyone's enthusiasm. I'll organize the most liked recommendations a few days later and then make a selection.)
