Chapter 911

Battle field.

All Baimu stood in the center.

Mustard, his wife, and many dojo disciples watched curiously.

Although Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing were common sights in the past, the one in front of them was different.

At least the person was different.

In the eyes of the dojo disciples, All Baimu was synonymous with mystery and power; even their revered mentor, the dignified former Galar Champion, hadn't been able to defeat him.

Such an existence could definitely go toe-to-toe with the current Galar Champion, Leon.

Avery and Klara were also present; the two weren't as noisy as usual, and the eyes they gazed at All Baimu with were filled with both longing and a mix of envy and jealousy.

If only they could possess equal strength...

'Wouldn't inheriting the gym (becoming an idol) be simple?!'

Both inevitably had similar thoughts.

It was just a pity that it was ultimately a fantasy.

Avery and Klara sighed in unison, but also developed the idea of working hard and fighting for a breath, just because—

Clearly everyone is about the same age, why are you so outstanding?

At the same time.

All Baimu flipped his wrist.

Several rays of red light quickly poured into the Poké Ball, causing it to expand to the size of a soccer ball, emitting a pinkish-white light from the inside out.

"Experience Gigantamax properly!"

He shouted and threw the giant Poké Ball out fiercely.

Bang!

Red light exploded.

The clear sky was instantly covered by black-purple clouds, and the Shiny Gengar roared excitedly.

"Gen! Gen! Gen! Gengar!"

Just hearing the roar continue, its body size also kept expanding with the sound.

After a few breaths, Gengar had turned into a milky-white giant tens of meters tall, with a big mouth like a bottomless black hole, and an overall shape like the gates of hell!

Three deep red clouds swirled around its head, attaching a layer of pink light to it.

Its huge black tongue swayed back and forth, and its black-bottomed, red-pupiled eyes made anyone's skin crawl no matter where they looked.

"Gen——gar——"

Different from the sharp, thin sound after Mega Evolution, the Gigantamax Gengar's voice now was like a booming bell.

The dojo crowd whispered.

"The color is different!"

"Isn't a normal Gigantamax Gengar black-purple?"

"The eyes are so creepy, pitch black."

All Baimu looked up to calculate the height, feeling it was at least twenty-five meters or more.

Come to think of it.

Is there such a thing as Dynamax level in the anime?

Besides turning moves into Max Moves, Dynamaxing also has the effect of increasing HP; in the game, it's set to 0-10 levels, with each level increasing HP.

"Gen——gar——"

Gigantamax Gengar wiggled up and down excitedly, and stretched its pitch-black long tongue toward its Trainer.

All Baimu dodged back, punched its big tongue, and shouted:

"Try a G-Max move!"

"Gen——gar——"

Gigantamax Gengar shook its claws, and numerous phantoms of giant debris shrouded in purple light inexplicably appeared around it.

Controlled by Gigantamax Gengar, they flew into the distance, crashing to the ground like bombs, sending up pillars of black-purple light that reached the sky!

Thud!!

The ground shook crazily, and the terrifying energy kept ravaging the field that had just been repaired.

A huge, eerie ghost face took shape under the light pillar.

【G-Max Terror】, Gengar's signature G-Max move, with the additional effect of 【Mean Look】 on the entire field.

So-so.

At least it's better than the additional effect of 【Max Phantasm】, lowering the opponent's defense or something, which is useless for Gengar.

It's suitable for Dragapult, which can also use physical attacks; coincidentally, it doesn't have a Gigantamax form either.

He came to the mouth of Gigantamax Gengar, pushed aside the giant tongue that was acting up, and poked his head in to look inside.

Then he walked right in.

The dojo crowd was full of confusion.

What is All Baimu doing?

Someone couldn't help but ask Mustard.

The old master stroked his beard and said, "It is rumored that the mouth of a Gigantamax Gengar connects to the world of the dead; I think he must be curious about whether the news is true."

Indeed.

Standing in the mouth of Gigantamax Gengar, All Baimu looked at the pitch-black void in front of him, with the uvula, commonly known as the little tongue, hanging above his head.

That's right.

Although he was also shocked, Gigantamax Gengar really does have a uvula organ.

All Baimu hesitated for a moment, brought his hand close to the void, and immediately felt a familiar yet strange suction force coming from it.

The depths of this guy's throat is probably really the Spirit Realm.

Tsk tsk tsk.

The designer who designed Gigantamax Gengar is a talent, making a gate of hell.

"Gen——"

"Shut up!"

All Baimu shouted before Gigantamax Gengar could speak, and the buzzing sound in his ears stopped abruptly.

But unexpectedly.

Just as he pulled his hand back and prepared to leave, a faint call suddenly sounded around him again.

The voice sounded a bit familiar.

He turned his head to look at the bottomless void behind him, and undoubtedly saw nothing.

A ghost?

All Baimu turned his head back, keeping a wary eye.

Just as he took two steps forward, a faint call came from behind again, even clearer than before.

But he didn't look back, directly taking out his phone, which had started recording the screen at some point.

Sure enough—

It's Gengar, that dead thing!

All Baimu clearly saw the huge uvula shaking slightly when the call sounded.

He walked out silently; at the same time, Gigantamax Gengar retracted its pitch-black long tongue, swaying up and down beside him.

Begging for mercy?

Ha! Too late!

All Baimu never skimps on revenge against Pokémon that play pranks on him.

Back to the battle field.

The dojo disciples who came to watch the fun had basically all left.

Mustard and his wife hadn't left, but this old husband and young wife couple were showing off their affection.

Hiss!

All Baimu turned his head quickly and took out a Poké Ball to open it.

Bang!

The crisp sound of the Poké Ball opening woke the couple, who were immersed in their own world, and they quickly restrained themselves.

Then they saw the fierce Hydreigon appear.

"Hydreigon~!"

"Hydreigon, release Dark Pulse into its mouth, slowly and in small amounts. Gengar, try to see if you can use the black mist in your throat to swallow its attack."

All Baimu gave orders to the left and right.

Gigantamax Gengar had a bitter face; isn't this just purely getting beaten up?

In all daily training, the subjects it hates most are exercising willpower and patience.

Although looking back later, getting beaten up is indeed very helpful for fighting, it hurts!

Especially since it's naturally not very patient.

"Hydreigon!"

Hydreigon didn't care about that; the little head on the left opened its mouth and sprayed Dark Pulse into Gigantamax Gengar's mouth.

Thud!

The Dark-type energy light wave surged in its mouth, hurting it so much that its face twisted.

But despite the pain, Gigantamax Gengar also became serious.

It tried hard to open its mouth wide, drawing the black mist from the depths of its throat, and finally, after taking four single-headed Dark Pulses, successfully swallowed the fifth Dark Pulse without damage.

"Gen……Gen……"

Gigantamax Gengar didn't have time to be happy, only feeling like it was going to fall apart.

Clap clap clap!

All Baimu applauded and said, "Well done~"

Hearing the applause, Gigantamax Gengar knew very well that its Trainer was taking revenge in the name of testing, and helplessly cast a resentful look.

Mustard and Honey outside the field also applauded in amazement.

"I've really had my eyes opened today!"

"Amazing!"

It's not me who's amazing, it's Ash.

All Baimu thought to himself.

In the anime, Ash's Gigantamax Gengar swallowed the Grimmsnarl's Spirit Break and the Sandstorm used by Flygon.

And it was a spur-of-the-moment decision during battle.

He used to think that people who praised Ash's tactics in the anime were just forcing it, but once he really started raising Pokémon, he knew how terrifying these performances were.

What level of execution is this!

One dares to open their mouth, the other dares to act.

Eh~↑

Success!

Comparing horizontally, his own Gengar's performance could be called a failure.

You know, Hydreigon didn't even change its attack point, but Gigantamax Gengar had to aim three times before swallowing it.

Of course.

Ash's Pokémon are all like this, and he, an honest man, can only envy them.

So he still has to praise it.

"Let's stop here for now, try other elemental G-Max moves."

All Baimu waved his hand, and Gigantamax Gengar released 【G-Max Volt Crash】 and 【G-Max Smite】 without hesitation.

Thunderbolts and pink light pillars descended one after another from the sky, and the terrifying energy poured onto the open space, making the field a mess as if venting.

Three G-Max moves used up.

Gengar, with its Galar particles completely exhausted, returned to its original state, and the sky quickly returned to clear.

It sat on the ground exhausted, waving its fat claws to cool its mouth and tongue.

"Hydreigon~"

The nasty-tempered Hydreigon laughed loudly.

Then it was slapped on the head three times by All Baimu, "You still have the face to laugh! You've spent these days just recovering from injuries!"

The battle with Mustard made him pay more attention to Pokémon's injuries.

Don't look at Hydreigon being Dragon-type and having good recovery during its growth phase; constantly suffering major injuries will definitely cause problems.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are hard to avoid.

But he absolutely doesn't want to send off any of them before he dies himself.

"You guys——"

Before he could finish speaking.

A gray shadow suddenly jumped down from the cliff in the distance, ran to them angrily, stomped its right foot on the ground in anger, and swung its fists in the air.

"Guma! Guma!"

"Uh."

All Baimu and Gengar blinked in unison, full of confusion.

Kubfu? Is it the dojo's Kubfu?

Did it get caught in the crossfire just now?

"Hahaha, your move is too powerful! It finally finished cleaning up the field, and now it's ruined again, so it's very angry!"

Laughter sounded from behind.

He turned his head to look, and it was Mustard and Honey, the couple, and the dojo crowd had already dispersed at some point.

Honey came to Kubfu, smiled and touched its head, and said warmly: "Don't be angry~ he didn't mean it~"

"Sorry, I will repair the field, I've caused you trouble." All Baimu also admitted his mistake to it, took out an Energy Cube from his pocket, and handed it over.

Kubfu turned its head disdainfully, "Guma!"

Instead.

It waved its claws and turned away.

"Guma~ Guma!"

"It says it forgives you, you don't need to repair it." Honey seemed to be able to understand what it was saying.

All Baimu couldn't help but ask: "Is it your Pokémon?"

Honey shook her head, "Of course not."

Mustard added: "Kubfu is the Pokémon I use to motivate everyone; as long as you pass the seven trials I set and complete the graduation ceremony, you are qualified to become its partner."

"Seven trials..."

All Baimu was stunned.

There were only three trials in the game, and it rose to seven in the anime?

He looked at Kubfu, who was walking toward the damaged part of the field, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

This is a Pokémon used to motivate disciples to improve.

With his strength of entering and graduating at the same time, the so-called seven trials would probably be cleared in minutes.

How could Mustard let him join the dojo.

Leon also started from humble beginnings!

All Baimu withdrew his gaze and expressed his gratitude to Mustard and his wife again regarding the Max Soup.

Honey wanted to keep him for lunch, but he politely declined.

There was a horse and a deer wandering outside; although there were no people on the island, he was a little worried.

"Thank you both for your warm hospitality. I have other important matters to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."

All Baimu cupped his hands and said politely: "If the dojo has travel plans in the second half of the year, why not come to Orre to relax? I will be happy to host you as a host then."

When cooking the Max Soup earlier, he revealed his background to Mustard and his wife.

The two naturally hadn't been to such a remote small region, and inevitably had a sense of surprise at seeing a true dragon in a shallow beach.

Mustard didn't keep him, smiled and cupped his hands: "Definitely, definitely, mountains are high and waters are long, we will meet again!"

The cupped-hand salute is a common etiquette for martial artists; All Baimu could remember this small action and use it, and the old master was very happy in his heart.

The three returned to the martial arts field.

The disciples heard that All Baimu was leaving immediately, and cast surprised and regretful looks one after another.

It's only been one morning!

Which of the Trainers who came to ask for Max Soup before didn't stay for several days, or even a week?

Too decisive!

And Avery's reaction was the biggest among them.

He didn't expect to grow to the point of defeating All Baimu in a few days, just wanted to battle him a few more times to deepen the impression.

Sounds a bit pitiful.

But mainly he felt that he hadn't been taken seriously at all, and it was very likely that the next time they met, the other party wouldn't even recognize him.

Avery, born in a famous family, couldn't accept that he was an insignificant insect.

"Bai, All Baimu!"

He stepped forward to stop him, but under the gaze of his fellow disciples, he couldn't open his mouth for a long time.

After struggling for a long time, he suddenly said:

"I will go to Orre! In the second half of the year!"

"……Welcome."

All Baimu raised an eyebrow and said: "The first Orre League tournament is being held in the second half of the year; your strength is not bad, if you are interested, you can participate."

'Your strength is not bad.'

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, shaking Avery until he was dizzy.

Was he praised?

Hallucination?

No, it's reality!

Avery's face flushed, then quickly faded, and he said seriously: "I will definitely come!"

All Baimu nodded, crossed the threshold, and left.

In the crowd.

Klara looked at the excited Avery, then looked at the figure going away, secretly complaining that the former was putting on an act, and complaining that the latter didn't even say hello to her when he left.

Clearly they chatted so happily last night!

Is she that unattractive?

So angry!

Orre League's first tournament?

She gritted her teeth, inexplicably developing an urge to participate and then get a good ranking to make All Baimu look at her with admiration.

——

Challenge Beach.

All Baimu listened to the surging tide after leaving the dojo.

He and Calyrex agreed to meet here, just to see the Tower of Waters in reality.

Who knew that the huge Tower of Waters was unguarded, and the gate inexplicably made a "sound" encouraging him to go in and look around.

"……"

'All Baimu!'

Calyrex's cry interrupted his inner hesitation.

The little deer rode the horse to his side, looked at the Tower of Waters and said: 'I once went inside to look, it was empty from top to bottom.'

"Empty? Are there no scrolls on the top floor?"

After All Baimu received a definitive reply, he breathed a sigh of relief for not having to sneak in.

It seems that someone has to get Kubfu before Mustard will arrange for someone to guard it, waiting for the other party to make a choice between the Tower of Darkness and the Tower of Waters.

"Let's go, back to Orre."

He no longer lingered.

If there is no need to capture new Pokémon, there is nothing to visit on the Isle of Armor.
