Chapter 269

"Totem Pokémon can also command Pokémon of the same species; these all stem from the Totem Aura. Once the Totem Aura is lost, these Totem Pokémon will be no different from ordinary Pokémon."

"Dad, what you said is no different from what the textbook says."

"Don't be anxious, the next part is the key." Professor Cerise cleared his throat.

"Since Alola joined the League, we have gradually understood the concept of Totem Pokémon..."

"Although there is no Totem Aura in other regions, there are always some special individuals in Pokémon groups that can grow to a size far exceeding their peers.

Because of this, we collectively call these Pokémon with sizes far exceeding their peers Totem Pokémon.

Of course, the more rigorous academic term is Special Totem Pokémon, used to distinguish them from the Totem Pokémon in the Alola region."

"Oh, I understand!"

After listening to Professor Cerise's explanation, Ash hit his left fist into his right palm.

If you look closely, you can even see the light bulb lit up on Ash's head.

"In other words, the Totem Pokémon in other places are just simply super-sized!"

"Correct."

Professor Cerise agreed.

【Professor Oak: See that? What is called professional! Cerise is good, worthy of being my disciple!】

【Lance: Can't understand, but greatly shocked; so Pokémon with super-large sizes are called Totem Pokémon, then what is Dynamax!】

【Bruno: You don't understand this; those larger than ordinary Pokémon are Totem Pokémon, and those larger than Totem Pokémon are Dynamax Pokémon.】

Bruno was smug; sure enough, he could still steadily suppress Lance in terms of intelligence.

【Lorelei: You two, if you have time, you'd better read more books.】

【Professor Magnolia: Let me explain; Dynamax is a phenomenon produced by the interaction between the Dynamax Energy Generator and the Dynamax Band; of course, Dynamax energy also exists in the wild in Galar, and the phenomenon of Pokémon becoming larger due to the irradiation of these Dynamax energies is called Dynamax.

It's similar to Alola's Totem Aura; Dynamax can only have an effect in Galar, and there is no relationship between the two. If there is one common feature, it is that it can make the body larger.

As for the situation you mentioned, it belongs to ordinary Pokémon breaking through the physical limit; except for the size, there is no other difference from ordinary Pokémon.】

【Professor Kukui: Professor Magnolia is very right; Alola's Totem Pokémon will return to ordinary Pokémon after leaving the Totem Aura, while Pokémon that have broken through physical limits are their original size wherever they are.】

【Bruno: In that case, my giant Onix is also a Totem Pokémon.】

【Lorelei: You actually only discovered this now?】

【Bruno: I thought Onix could grow this big because my one is older and eats more, so it grew big.】

【Lorelei: 6!】

【Cynthia: Since that's the case, then permanent Totem Pokémon are very precious; I estimate some people won't be able to sit still after seeing this news.】

J the Hunter shivered.

As long as she dared to squeak, she would probably be visited by the entire Sinnoh League immediately.

She is a poacher, but not a fool!

And the cleanup regarding adventurers a while ago.

She saw it clearly.

Let's lie low for now, and go catch a few Totem Pokémon to sell after the limelight passes!

J the Hunter: Plan passed!

In the screen—

After hearing the rumors about Totem Pokémon.

Ash was also energized.

In the Alola region, Ash had challenged many Totem Pokémon on the Island Challenge.

What he didn't expect was that there were Totem Pokémon in other regions too!

"Is that so? Then let's set off immediately!"

Ash, who was originally somewhat wilted, immediately became energized.

"I've already sent you the location, including the hotel, which has already been booked; you guys just have a good time these few days."

Looking at the two excited people, Professor Cerise said with a smile.
