From far away, they could see Gigantamax Lapras and Gigantamax Grimmsnarl.
Their gigantic forms both used the "energy gigantification" Wude had demonstrated: the Pokémon's appearance changed without much adjustment to their physical size, while their enhanced energy swelled into phantom images, forming towering "avatars."
After all, this was a chaotic battlefield. If their Pokémon physically underwent Dynamax, a few casual steps might trample a whole swath of allies to death.
Besides that, Mega Salamence faced Mega Sharpedo, and battles of the same caliber were taking place farther away.
Just as the rescue personnel at Sootopolis Gym had said, recklessly approaching the main battlefield would not just make them a burden; it would get them killed.
"Shen Qi, over here!"
Lisia had found someone wounded.
"Blissey!"
Bang-
"All right, my Pokémon's finished treating him."
"Didn't you just send him straight to the afterlife?!"
Lisia nervously sensed the fluctuations of type energy within the wounded man's body, only to discover they were stabilizing. His injuries really had been brought under control.
After helping two groups of wounded and returning to the vicinity of Sootopolis Temple again, Lisia distinctly felt that their side was gaining control of the battle.
It made sense. Both of Hoenn's Champions were in Sootopolis City, and after messengers had been sent out, Gym Leaders kept arriving as reinforcements. It was only natural that they would gradually gain the upper hand.
Suddenly, powerful fluctuations of type energy surged in the sky.
A Dynamax Yanmega activated its Fly aura, descending with a group of black-clad Trainers.
Before Shen Qi could make them out clearly, a massive beetle shot down from high above.
Mega Heracross!
Megahorn!
After Mega Evolution, Heracross's base Physical Attack reached a staggering 185, while Megahorn was a Bug-type move with 120 power, further boosted by same-type energy.
