Chapter 235 So, the hammer was the real deal! (Seeking monthly votes!)
Gigantamax Corviknight!

Dynamax is a mechanic introduced in Generation VIII of Pokémon and is limited to the Galar region.

The so-called "Dynamax" is actually a special energy field released from the Pokémon's body that distorts the surrounding space, making the Pokémon appear to be far larger than its actual size.

After Dynamaxing, a Pokémon's size increases, its stamina increases, and all its moves become "Dynamax Moves".

Some Pokémon, like Mega Evolution, possess a 'Gigantamax' form.

'Dynamax' simply means becoming larger and using Dynamax moves, while 'Gigantamax' will give you a special form and unique moves.

In essence, they are all Dynamaxing.

Because Dynamax is a perfect fit for commercial league performances, the Galar region is developing in the direction of commercial leagues.

Furthermore, with the combined efforts of the Marocomón Group and the Galler Alliance, the results have been quite impressive.

Corviknight is a Pokémon that has a Gigantamax form.

"唳——!!"

The enormous Gigantamax Corviknight hovered high in the sky, its massive body reflecting a dark red light, while three distinct gray-red halos swirled around its head.

These are the symbols for 'Gigantamax' and 'Dynamax'.

call--

As the Gigantamax Corviknight flapped its wings violently, a terrifying gale swept outwards.

“Chirp~Chirp~!”

The skilled blacksmith showed no fear despite the Steel Raven's enormous size; instead, he was filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Such a big bird, how strong must its feathers be?

"Genga~~" (Wow, it's huge!)

Gengar and the others stared in a daze at the enormous Gigantamax Corviknight.

This was the first time they had ever seen a Pokémon in its Gigantamax form.

Only Xiong's apprentice had ever witnessed a similar scene.

but.

Their excitement and their sighs do not mean that Gigantamax Corviknight will be inactive.

"唳——!!"

It let out another long howl, its huge wings flapped and vibrated, and a terrifying sense of oppression swept down.

next moment.

With a sudden flap of its wings, a massive white tornado swept in at incredible speed.

A Gigantamax whirlwind sweeps in!
This is a move exclusive to Gigantamax Corviknight!

【Gigantamax Cyclone: ​​Deals damage to the target and can also remove effects such as Reflect, Light Screen, Spikes, and terrain status effects (a super super super tornado!)】

Why are you stuttering?

Jing He did not show any signs of panic.

Ultimately, whether it's 'Gigantamax' or 'Dynamax', it's just about increasing the size, enhancing the power of moves, greatly improving accuracy, and adding some special effects.

It will not significantly change the Pokémon's original strength.

This Gigantamax Corviknight's actual strength is just so-so.

If a trainer is in charge, then "Gigantamax" and "Gigantamax Moves" will indeed bring about significant changes, such as weather and terrain control.

However, wild Pokémon, especially those that are clearly affected and enraged, should not be too difficult to deal with.

“Six tails, Aurora Curtain!” Jing He said calmly.

Amidst the howling wind, snowflakes fluttered down, and layers of thin curtains resembling the aurora borealis appeared out of thin air.

Gigantamax Whirlwind can remove Reflectors, Light Walls, and terrain status effects, but it cannot directly blow away weather-based Aurora Veils.

at the same time.

The skilled blacksmith, wielding a hammer, jumped onto Hakron's back.

Meanwhile, the white feathers on Hakkar's cheeks rapidly grew larger, and with a fluttering motion, it flew directly into the sky.

"Genga?"

Gengar tilted its head and scratched its head.

It's so big.

Jinghe seems to be talking about Gigantamax?

Can I grow that big myself?
If you could, how much food would you be able to eat?
"Gengar." Jing He's voice interrupted its reverie, "Shadow Ball!"

"哓GA!"

Gengar, regaining its senses, let out a sinister grin.

With both hands raised high, a huge, jet-black sphere was formed in the blink of an eye.

Without hesitation, it slammed down on the Gigantamax Corviknight above.

It's so big, it's not easy to hit it off-center.

Jinghe suddenly felt...

Dynamax seems to be very advantageous on its "home turf".

Mom no longer has to worry about our moves missing!
The enormous shadow orb looked like it had unleashed the move Max Ghost.

boom! !

The massive Shadow Ball struck Gigantamax Corviknight head-on, eliciting a long, painful howl from the giant creature.

It was also at this time.

Hakron and the skilled blacksmith arrived in the sky together.

The skilled blacksmith leaped high into the air.

"Roar~~!"

Golden lightning shot out from Dragonair's horn, and the surging lightning struck straight at the Gigantamax Corviknight.

thunder!

Jing He squinted and gave instructions again:

"Apprentice Xiong, please provide guidance."

The little guy nodded emphatically, cupped his hands to his mouth, and shouted to the leaping blacksmith.

"Ku~~!"

"Chirp?"

Upon hearing this, the skilled blacksmith felt a surge of power coursing through his body once more.

But what it cared about more was the meaning conveyed by Xiong's apprentice, specifically the meaning of some fighting techniques.

One strike, a fatal blow?

"Chirp!!"

Then try it!
The skilled blacksmith's eyes narrowed, and ice crystals covered the hammer he held. As the hammer was swung, layer upon layer of ice crystals continued to envelop it, making it grow larger and larger.

When Gigantamax Corviknight barely recovered from Shadow Ball and Thunder.

It saw a giant hammer, which grew larger and larger in its eyes, getting closer and closer.

"Uh-huh?!"

No.

Wasn't it me who performed the 'Gigantamax'?

Why are your moves getting more and more outrageous?
Are your moves legal?
Obviously.

Gigantamax Corviknight has no time to think about these questions, nor can it understand them.

Boom! !

The enormous ice hammer slammed down on its head.

The terrifying force, the sensation of being hit head-on by a train, caused Gigantamax Corviknight's eyes to roll back and disappear instantly. Its massive body plummeted from the sky.

And it gets smaller and smaller as it falls.

pat.

The falling blacksmith was caught by Hakrond, and together they flew towards Corviknight.

The skilled blacksmith, meanwhile, nervously bit his hammer, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Chirp! Chirp~ Chirp~!!"

Don't change, don't get smaller, don't get smaller!
at the same time.

Gengar chuckled mischievously, then swiftly floated up to meet the attack.

A faint light appeared in its eyes, enveloping it and the skilled blacksmith.

Features interchangeable!
Gengar's ability has temporarily become "stealing".

"Genga~~"

It chuckled and appeared beside the falling Steel Crow.

hum-

Gengar's body trembled slightly, and several shadowy figures appeared beside it.

then
Several Gengar attacked together, grabbing at Corviknight.

Jinghe, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but open her mouth.

He finally understood how Gengar usually took advantage of the Blacksmith's "stealing" ability.

It stands to reason.

"Stealing" has only a 30% chance of obtaining items from your opponent.

However, Gengar compensates for the probability issue by using quantity and frequency.

"Gui Gui, you really are something else," Jing He murmured.

"哓GA!"

Gengar's eyes suddenly lit up, and it pulled out a dark red object from the falling Corviknight.

"Genga?"

What the hell?

Looking at the flickering light in his hand, Gengar thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and stuffed it in.

Then, the unconscious Corviknight fell to the ground.

Jinghe originally wanted to ask Gengar what he had touched.

But soon my attention was drawn to the skilled blacksmith.

I saw.

The skilled blacksmith, after landing, closed his eyes tightly, his face serious, as if he were pondering something.

Jing He's heart stirred.

"Should it be"

But after a moment of contemplation, the skilled blacksmith opened his eyes and looked enlightened.

Seeing this, Jinghe breathed a slight sigh of relief.

so far so good.

It's likely that the skilled blacksmith learned some fighting techniques from the instruction he received from Xiong's apprentice.

"Chirp~chirp~"

The skilled blacksmith, regaining his senses, ran towards the Steel-Armored Raven with a series of "bia-chi bia-chi" steps.

It puffed out its cheeks, looking somewhat angry.

It was such a big bird just now, and now it's all gone.
Is it enough to get stuck in your teeth?

Seeing its appearance, Jinghe couldn't help but say:

"We've collected so many Steel-Armored Raven feathers, that should be enough for you, right? Can you even hammer that deep enough?"

"Chirp?"

The skilled blacksmith blinked.

I just think Jinghe makes a good point!

Corviknight is, after all, a Steel-type Pokémon, and in addition to some berries, it also eats metal.

Their feathers give them considerable defensive capabilities, and those feathers are far more valuable than ordinary metals.

Moreover, the hammer of the master blacksmith had already incorporated a large amount of rare metals. The more metals incorporated, the higher the density, and the more difficult it was to incorporate more.

"So, it's about time to stop," Jing He advised.

Do you really want to plunder all the Corviknights on the Isle of Armor?
I'm afraid Master Ma will urge me to leave then.

"chirp"

The skilled blacksmith nodded.

Then he sighed softly.

There's nothing we can do about it.

"Gengar, what were you doing just now?" Seeing that the little guy had calmed down a bit, Jinghe turned to look at Gengar.

"Genga!!"

Gengar's eyes widened slightly as it pointed at the Master Blacksmith.

When Jinghe looked over.

A dazzling white light enveloped the skilled blacksmith.

Jinghe stared blankly at the scene.

What did he just say?

It evolved?

Enveloped in white light, the skilled blacksmith's height did not change much, except that his braids gradually grew longer, from a single ponytail to twin ponytails.

The most significant change in the white light was undoubtedly the hammer it was holding.

It keeps getting bigger and bigger, constantly expanding.

In terms of hammer size alone, it's probably more than four or five times larger!
In particular, the hammers that were originally the same size on both sides gradually became one side larger and the other side smaller.

As the hammer grew larger, this light of evolution also spread wildly.

Just how much power has been accumulated?
Gengar looked enlightened.

"哓GA!"

original
The hammer is the real thing!

"Chirp~~"

The process of evolution begins suddenly and ends just as quickly.

What appeared before Jinghe and the little ones once again was the real Hammer Girl, the Great Blacksmith!
"just!!"

The evolved Greatsmith seemed not to realize what had happened immediately; he simply carried a hammer several times larger and ran happily toward the Corviknight.

Two nearly floor-length ponytails swayed from side to side.

Jing He's lips twitched.

"As expected, evolution is all about allowing the hammer to incorporate more metal."

This is very much in line with the style of a master blacksmith. Oh, now I should call him a great blacksmith.

Suddenly realizing something, Jing He's expression changed.

Oh no, this hammer is huge! How much metal would it take to fill it?!
