The Charizard had suddenly grown to a gigantic size, was somewhat bewildered. Looking around, it finally spotted its Pokémon Trainer on the ground.
Looking at Leon, who was the size of an ant, Charizard scratched its head with its claws. It didn't know why Leon had become so small after it went in and out of the Poké Ball, and why the surrounding buildings seemed to Minimize as well.
Looking at his Charizard, Leon's eyes were filled with shock and confusion. It turned out that his Pokémon could grow as big as the Coalossal from that day.
He also felt the Dynamax on his stamina from Dynamaxing, but thanks to the physical training that Mustard had given him, he was still able to withstand the strain.
However, Rose said the surprises didn't end there. Oleana clapped her hands, and two staff members brought out a large golden pot containing a big pot of pink soup, with a large purple mushroom floating on top.
Why does this big mushroom look so familiar?
Isn't this the giant mushroom I stepped on not far away after defeating the colossal Coalossal?
After the appearance of the giant Coalossal and several other gigantic Pokémon, these giant mushrooms appeared in parts of Wyndon, each guarded by a powerful Pokémon.
Oleana stated that if Leon's Charizard drinks the soup in the pot, then after Dynamax, his Charizard will have a unique form that is comparable to Mega Evolution.
She named it Gigantamax.
Gigantamax?
Leon kept repeating the new terms Oleana had told him.
"That's right, your Charizard just now was just a normal Dynamax, but Gigantamax is a special kind of Dynamax phenomenon."
Only specific individuals can Gigantamax. After Gigantamax, Pokémon not only becomes larger, but its form also changes, and it gains unique moves.
I believe your Charizard should be fine as a champion.
After listening to Oleana's explanation, Leon looked at the Golden cauldron in front of him.
Do you just have to drink this soup?
Leon trusted Oleana wouldn't lie to him about this, and after waiting for about five minutes, once Charizard's Dynamax was over, Leon immediately had Charizard drink the Max Soup from the Dynamax Pot.
Upon hearing what Leon said, Charizard immediately lifted the Dynamax Pot and poured the purple soup inside into its mouth. After finishing the Max Soup in one gulp, Charizard burped, Spit Up a ball of flame, and then patted its belly.
Is that all?
Leon couldn't wait to activate the Dynamax Band, only to find that they weren't working.
Only then did he recall what Oleana had told him before: the Dynamax Band needed about an hour to cool down after Dynamax before they could be activated again.
During that hour, Rose discussed the previous plan with Leon again, this time Rose's voice was somewhat calm.
"Well, my champion, if we can completely control that energy, the energy company under the Macro Cosmos will be able to convert that energy into the energy we need, and then we will have a solution to the energy problem in our Galar region."
Furthermore, Dynamax will become a battle system unique to the Galar region.
"What if we can't control it?"
Leon asked, "Even the two legendary heroes couldn't control that behemoth and could only seal it away. Can I really do it?"
"That's why I came to you, my champion. I hope you can persuade the other Gym Leaders to help me control that giant beast that's emitting the source of the Dynamax Factor, Eternatus."
"Eternatus?"
"Yes, that's the name I gave him. 3,000 years ago, people called it Darkest Day, but I think 'Eternatus also a good name."
"But...
Seeing that Leon was still hesitant, Rose spoke again:
"My champion, have you forgotten how those aspiring Pokémon Trainers we visited last month viewed you?"
And that seriously ill child, did you see the expectation in his eyes?
Can you really bear to refuse them?
Only by developing that energy can we have more resources to invest in the Galar region and lead Galar to a brighter future.
"I'm in charge of the development of the Galar region, and you're in charge of silencing those voices that hinder the development of Galar. Isn't that what we agreed on before?"
Rose's words kept echoing in Leon's ears. Leon still had some concerns. High returns meant high risks, and this plan had both risks and rewards.
"I...
Rose could tell that Leon was already interested, and now only the final step was needed.
"You don't need to answer me right away. Why don't you try Gigantamax as Oleana suggested first?"
An hour had passed, Leon repeated the steps he had just taken. This time, the Poké Ball in his hand had become even larger than before.
What was originally just a proportionally enlarged Charizard has now completely changed its form, with flames burning at the tips of its solid-colored horns.
This time, Charizard no longer only had flames at the tip of its tail; when it opened its huge mouth, flames surged from deep within its oral cavity, even overflowing and spewing out from the corners of its mouth.
At the same time, the Wing Attack on its back disappeared, replaced by two giant fire wings formed from pure flames.
The flames Spit Up from Gigantamax Charizard shot straight into the sky, and he also felt the powerful energy emanating from within his body.
Gigantamax Charizard has arrived.
Is this Gigantamax Charizard?
Looking at the Gigantamax Charizard Leon the field, whose appearance had changed drastically, for some reason, he still preferred the giant beast in front of him to Mega Charizard X Y.
Furthermore, after Gigantamax, Charizard gains a unique move: G-Max Wildfire.
Unfortunately, since the Arena in Wyndon is still under construction and not yet officially in use, it is impossible to test specific skills.
Even so, Leon felt the immense power of the Gigantamax Charizard. He knew that the already Champion level Charizard had risen to another level.
The words Rose had said earlier flashed through his mind again: with his current strength, he should be able to deal with Eternatus...
Gigantamax ended, Leon was covered in sweat. He took off his baseball cap and took the towel Oleana handed him to wipe his face.
"How about it? My championship? My proposal just now..."
