After the purple clouds above the large pot disappeared, the purple soup inside had a complex flavor that was a blend of sweet, sour, and spicy. The color of the soup was the same as in the video.
"How about you try some?"
Roy looked at the Ancient Gengar.
"Ghost!"
The Ancient Gengar stared at the large pot of soup.
This was the result of Roy's all-night effort, and even if it tasted terrible, he couldn't let Roy's good intentions go to waste.
Without hesitation, the Ancient Gengar picked up the large pot and poured the entire pot of soup into its mouth.
It wasn't exactly unpleasant to drink, but it certainly wasn't particularly delicious either. Fortunately, it contained Roy's Ghost Power, making the broth drinkable.
Burp~~~
The fat man with the purple tattoo let out a burp that lasted for 10 seconds, then pursed his lips, tucking in the last bit of crumbs from the corner of his mouth, not wasting a single bit.
The Ancient Gengar's appearance remained unchanged after drinking the Max Soup, except that its belly swelled up a bit more.
Roy knew that only by performing Dynamax could he determine whether Gigantamax was possible.
After all, according to the data shown by Oleana, some Pokémon can Gigantamax are unable to Gigantamax after drinking Max Soup.
Roy, along with the Ancient Gengar, Lampent, and Misdreavus, left the Joy family early in the morning when no one was around.
Just as Roy was about to take his Pokémon to the surrounding mountains for experiments, a dark shadow suddenly blocked Roy way.
By the Morning Sun, Roy discovered that the shadowy figure was Lucario, who guarded the only way to enter the Joy family's territory.
Lucario held out his hand to Roy, indicating where his things were.
Sorry, I almost forgot about you.
Roy skillfully took a box of Pokéblock from his Spatial Bracelet and handed it to Lucario.
"Here you go, these are your Pokéblock for this week. I've added extra Sweet Honey, just like you requested."
This was also one of the assignments Joy Lando left him, and now he's in charge of Lucario's Pokéblock as well.
This Lucario is indeed Joy Lando's Pokémon. However, since Joy Lando isn't very good at training Pokémon, Lucario was trained to the level of a mid-level Elite Four entirely on its own.
"Luca!"
Lucario took Roy's box, opened it, and a row of metallic Pokéblock appeared before his eyes.
He'll be going to training after he finishes this box of Pokéblock.
Lucario first sniffed the aroma emanating from the box; a sweet scent entered his nostrils, a smell he liked.
Although he was eager to enjoy the Pokéblock in the box, as an Intermediate King level Pokémon, he didn't want to lose face in front of Roy like Agatha's Gengar did.
Roy understood Lucario's thoughts and said he had to take his Pokémon to train, and would see him later.
"Luca!"
Lucario nodded; he was already familiar with Roy.
Watching Roy's departing figure, and realizing that he was about to break through to the High-level Elite Four, only one final step remained. However, this final step was even more difficult than advancing from level 70 to 79...
The key is his Pokémon Trainer... If only he could train with the boy from before.
Sigh...
After Roy left, Lucario eagerly took out Pokéblock from the box and put it in his mouth.
At first, Lucario was able to eat one bite at a time, but after finishing the first Pokéblock, it couldn't resist anymore. Later on, Lucario disregarded its dignity as a mid-level Elite Four and started stuffing food into its mouth.
Normally, Joy Lando wouldn't add as much Sweet Honey to him as Roy does, in order to maintain a balance of energy from different elements.
As Lucario ate, his aura suddenly surged, without him even realizing it, as he was currently immersed in the deliciousness of the sweets.
Just as he put the last Pokéblock in his mouth, he licked his fingers and ate the excess crumbs as well.
Looking at the empty box in his hand, it seemed he had eaten a week's worth of food today.
Time to go train.
Hiccup... Wait, I think I've already broken through?
Looking at his already bulging belly, Lucario was a little confused.
Can eating... also lead to a breakthrough?
Roy released his Dragapult and took him to a remote mountain far from the Joy family.
Even though it was already morning, there was still little Morning Sun here. Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, Roy nodded in satisfaction.
Dynamax is powerful, but it's a bit of a hassle to have to find a secluded spot to experiment with it every time.
Roy took out a Wishing Star Wishing Star that had been infused with Dynamax Factor a few days ago, and red patterns lit up on it.
Previously, because there was no way to obtain Dynamax Factor, the energy in the Wishing Star could only satisfy a one-time Dynamax, but now he has a fragment left behind by Eternatus.
The Dynamax Factor within the Black Fragment is virtually inexhaustible. Now that I can break through regional boundaries, I can allow all my Pokémon Dynamax in Arena across different regions.
"Are you ready, Gengar?"
"Ghost~~~"
