What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

They grew larger and larger, expanding to tens of meters in height.

"Bashar..." "Ace!"

Dynamax Blaziken and Gigantamax Cinderace face off, their size and power greatly enhanced.

Dynamax Blaziken didn't change much, remaining the same as before, while Gigantamax Cinderace showed a new form, with a more robust body and a giant fireball bursting from its feet.

"Go, Cinderace, use Max Airstream!"

"Defend with the giant defense wall!"

"Ace!!" Gigantamax Cinderace concentrated all its power, propelling its hands to launch a massive tornado at Blaziken.

"Bashar!" Blaziken reacted swiftly. A barrier appeared in front of it, radiating intense light. The tornado crashed against the barrier with a deafening roar, but was ultimately stopped.

Max Guard can be used on any move that changes.

This is the benefit of Dynamax.

After using this move, both Cinderace and Blaziken emitted an orange glow and their speed increased.

These are the speed boost from Max Airstream and Blaziken's Speed ​​Boost ability.

Normally, if the defense is blocked, there will be no additional effects, but it seems that a small number of additional effects will exist.

Ash has roughly figured out the rules of Dynamax.

"Use Max Airstream again!"

"We'll retaliate with Max Airstream!"

"Ace~~!!" "Bashar!!!"

As the battle escalated, Cinderace and Blaziken each unleashed massive tornadoes forward. These two energies converged in mid-air, and at that moment, Cinderace's tornado clearly gained the upper hand.

The ability - Free Spirit - means that whatever move it uses is its own type!

Cinderace's tornado became even more powerful, its force engulfing Blaziken's tornado.

"Bashasha..." Blaziken was unable to resist and was pushed directly towards the audience.

A special barrier prevented it from retreating further.

"Full power, Blaziken, don't lose!"

Xiao Zhi shouted out loud.

Our goal is the summit! The highest peak!

Since that's the case, we can't afford to lose here!

"Bashar!!" Blaziken's massive claws gleamed with a special luster in the sunlight. Facing Cinderace's Max Airstream Tornado, as Blaziken's breathing quickened, it suddenly raised its claws and stretched them towards the tornado.

The enormous claws gripped the center of the tornado like iron clamps.

With a powerful slap, the tornado was instantly dispersed, turning into countless grains of sand and air currents that dissipated into the air.

"What?!" Even the Pill Emperor was a little dumbfounded when he saw this, but he still showed a confident attitude.

"Wow, that's powerful! Now enjoy the ultimate moment! Gigantamax Fireball!!"

Undefeated champion Leon made an elegant gesture, and Cinderace in front of him began to respond to his words.

"Ace!!" Cinderace performed a series of rapid rolls in the air before leaping up. Then, with all its might, it kicked the massive fireball beneath its feet. The fireball burned brightly in the air, hurtling towards Blaziken.

"Fight back at them with all your might, Max Fireball!"

Xiao Zhi swung his hand forward with high spirits.

"Bashar!!" Blaziken opened its mouth and spewed out a giant flame. It tumbled in the air and collided with Cinderace's fireball.

Swoosh—!!!

The two streams of heat exploded upon impact, shaking the entire battlefield. The intense bombardment produced unusual flames and waves of heat.

"You must be kidding me?!" "A flame of that intensity?!"

It spread outwards, making the surrounding audience feel the heat.

Leon and Ash stared intently at the scene before them.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the true state of the battlefield was revealed.

"Ace..." "Bashar..."

Both Cinderace and Blaziken were knocked to the ground by the intense bombardment and lost their ability to fight.

Their bodies lay motionless on the ground, utterly exhausted after a fierce battle.

"Cinderace and Blaziken are both unable to battle, so this match is a draw!"

"Blaziken, you've worked hard." "Get some rest, Cinderace."

Ash and Leon each recalled their Pokémon, and then the two of them moved closer together.

Although it was just a game for fun and no one took it too seriously, both Ash and Leon understood that the difference between them wasn't that great.

One day, we will meet on that highest stage.

I'm really looking forward to it; both of them want to have a real battle in this palace arena.

That will definitely be the most exciting battle ever!

"Ash, I really admire someone as young and straightforward as you. See you next time on the official field!"

Dan stared intently at Ash, his gaze growing increasingly intense.

Eight Masters!

"It's me. I will travel to various regions and eventually set foot here in the real sense!"

At the same time, Ash's gaze also burned with fervor.

I can't wait!

After wandering through eight regions, we finally arrived at this palace gate arena!

Become the world champion!

This is Ash's first step towards becoming a Pokémon Master!

1147 Sword and Shield - Sleepy Forest!

Although this battle was just for fun for both Ash and Leon, it gave Ash a lot of experience.

Next time, things will be completely different. There will be no more evenly matched compromises, but a true all-out contest.

"Brother, you're so handsome~~"

Just as Ash and Leon were looking at each other, Yu ran over happily.

As expected of my brother, he was able to hold his own against the champion Dan-di.

"Gardevoir, Teleport!"

Noticing Xiaoyou's actions, Xiangzi immediately ordered Gardevoir beside him to take action.

"Garnet!" Xiangzi and Gardevoir suddenly appeared beside Ash.

"Xiangzi?!"

"You idiot, come here!" Xiangzi grabbed Xiaozhi without hesitation and hugged him tightly.

Immediately afterwards, Gardevoir used her Teleport ability again, and in a flash, she disappeared without a trace from everyone's sight, leaving the venue in silence.

"Hey!!" Xiaoyou's eyes widened, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. She couldn't vent her anger at all.

Wait! Where did you suddenly take your brother?!

how so!

Oh oh oh!

Yushina looked at the message on her phone and then rode on Metagross's head.

"If I hadn't installed a locator on Ash, that woman might have actually succeeded. Let's go, Metagross."

"meta!"

Yu's crying didn't seem to attract much attention from Yukina, who left the palace arena without hesitation.

Sister? No need!

Yushina: After I win my husband over, I'll consider maintaining a proper distance from his sister. In order to awaken that blockhead's emotional intelligence, I even need to use his sister!

"Wow, that was amazing!" "This match was truly fantastic!"

Although Xiaozhi, Xiangzi, and Yuxina left in a hurry, some spectators stayed in the stadium and recorded the battle with their mobile phones or cameras.

Undefeated Champion Leon faced off against Kanto and Ash, the first Alola Champion, and the match ended in a draw.

This day will probably appear in tomorrow's Galar news.

Meanwhile, looking out at the arena at the palace gate, Emperor Dan revealed a thoughtful expression.

His full strength should be more than this.

I must become stronger this year, or I will lose to him.

Develop towards even greater goals.

"And that giant bronze elephant...why is it there?"

Thinking about this, Dan Di became even more puzzled, and he started walking towards the other places.

...

"That Bronze Elephant is your Pokémon, isn't it? Why would it Dynamax in a place like that?! It could harm civilians!"

In the dimly lit office, Dante confronted the man sitting opposite him, Rhodes. A tense and serious atmosphere filled the room, but Rhodes remained unusually calm, seemingly unconcerned by Dante's anger.

Dan Di understood that the bronze elephant he had just seen belonged to the other party, and that the two were quite familiar with each other.

After all, as the president of the Marocmon Corporation and the chairman of the Galar Pokémon League, Rose made the Galar Pokémon League world-famous by introducing Dynamax into Gym battles.

It's impossible to delve into Lorz's affairs in depth, even though we've collaborated several times.

"I just wanted to test the power of the Kanto heroes. Actually, I also have the guarantee to recall the Pokémon. Compared to this, that Ash from Pallet Town is a monster beyond my imagination. I have never seen anyone raise Lucario to that level... to defeat my Bronze so easily. Leon, you will lose to that guy in the World Championship."

Upon hearing the explanation, Dan's expression softened slightly, but he still couldn't understand Rose's thoughts.

Even if there's only a one percent chance that innocent people will be harmed, it shouldn't be done!

Releasing Gigantamax Bronze directly in Miyako City is simply illogical.

As the champion of the Galar region, Leon could not accept this statement.

"Indeed, Ash is a formidable rival, but my strongest combination with Charizard will not lose to anyone!"

"I knew you'd say that, but don't you think you need to become stronger in order to fight against the heroes of Kanto?"

Upon reaching this level, Dan Di had almost hit a bottleneck and could no longer become stronger, and Rose could understand the anxiety in Dan Di's heart.

"..." Having encountered the strongest opponent who could fight him, Dan Di became excited and wanted to become stronger to respond, so at this moment he responded with silence.

He also wanted to become stronger and move towards a more distant goal.

But it seems that it has reached its limit.

Becoming stronger is difficult.

"Go and obtain the power of the King, and get the strongest power in the Galar region. Only then can you have a match between the strongest and the strongest in the next World Championship. That Pokémon will make you even stronger."

Loz walked over, patted Dante on the shoulder in a friendly manner, then leaned close to him and whispered something.

"What Pokémon?" These words made Leon's eyes widen, and he was deeply attracted.

A smile appeared on Loz's lips.

"The legendary king who once ruled Galar long ago possesses the ability to heal hearts and make plants sprout. He is the Pokémon most befitting your status as the strongest king, and his name is Calyrex!"

...

The Forest of Slumber: A mysterious forest located in the southern part of the Galar region, it is the habitat of the legendary heroes Zacian and Zamazent.

After leaving Misty City, Ash and his friends took a flying taxi to Misty Forest.
