Chapter 205: Sora: Again?!

Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Sora: Again?!

"This is the place."

Zacian looked toward Sora and asked, "What do you think?"

"Mm. This will do."

Sora was quite satisfied with the location. Judging from its size, the clearing was roughly equivalent to several football fields.

"What are you planning to do?"

Cynthia was curious.

Sora explained, "It’s a hypothesis of mine. I’m preparing to test it with Calyrex."

"A hypothesis?"

"You’ve come up with another way to become stronger?"

Cynthia genuinely admired Sora.

How could he have so many strange and ingenious ideas?

And even more outrageous...

These bizarre theories of his actually seemed to work.

It was simply absurd.

Born into an ancient family, Cynthia understood very well what Sora’s talent meant.

If his notes were ever circulated, they would undoubtedly send a massive shock through the training methods of the old era.

Trainers below Level 50 might not understand what Sora was talking about at all.

But to Elite Four members, Champions, and some veteran Gym Leaders...

Sora’s knowledge was enough to help them knock on that tightly shut door.

"Here. Take a look."

Sora pulled a notebook from his bag and handed it to Cynthia.

She quickly flipped through the pages.

The next moment, her pupils contracted, and an inexplicable sense of shock washed over her.

"Use Dynamax Energy to transform Pokémon, allowing them to undergo positive mutations and develop new forms..."

"This... this is..."

If Sora’s hypothesis was correct, and Gigantamax was the result of a Pokémon absorbing a portion of Dynamax Energy...

Then the significance of this qualitative transformation was no less than Mega Evolution.

No.

Not a temporary Mega Evolution.

A permanent evolution!

What Sora intended to accomplish was to use Dynamax Energy to allow Pokémon to freely enter that new state, rather than merely becoming Dynamaxed.

They wouldn’t need external Dynamax Energy.

They would be able to temporarily enter the form through their own power!

And the resulting increase wouldn’t necessarily affect their base attributes.

Instead, it could massively increase their HP—essentially their physical stamina and energy reserves.

If successful, a Pokémon’s strength would undergo a tremendous leap.

Most importantly...

It could potentially stack with other systems.

For example, after Mega Evolution, a Pokémon might enter a permanent Gigantamax-like state without changing its size or requiring Dynamax Energy, simply gaining a massive increase in HP and energy reserves.

Of course...

It was also possible that nothing about the Pokémon’s form would change.

Perhaps the only result would be a tremendous increase in its energy and stamina.

Either way...

If this experiment succeeded, it would bring about earth-shattering changes in Pokémon strength.

"Incredible..."

Cynthia thought about all the theories Sora had previously proposed—the nature of energy, the utilization of Abilities, the extraction of move characteristics, and so on.

And now...

He had developed a theoretical framework for permanent Gigantamax enhancement.

Without question, this information could never be allowed to fall into outsiders’ hands.

Cynthia could already imagine how insane those ancient families would become if they learned about Sora’s theories.

Even among humans, there were those who harbored dark intentions.

Sora might not fear them.

But she didn’t want to bring unnecessary trouble upon him.

"You’re really letting me see this without any reservations?"

"The two of us—what are we to each other?"

Sora teased her before continuing.

"Though the Dynamax cultivation method is still purely theoretical. Don’t try it yourself."

"I know."

Cynthia smiled.

She knew Sora was genuinely someone who cared deeply about Pokémon.

"Then what about Calyrex?"

"Ah..."

Sora was helpless.

He hadn’t wanted this.

Calyrex had insisted on becoming the test subject.

"I am the King."

"I naturally ought to open new frontiers for those who come after me!"

"Oh!"

The Hero Duo’s eyes immediately lit up when they heard this.

"As expected of the King!"

"Just like before, no matter the circumstances, you always stand at the very front!"

Whether it was danger or hardship...

The first one to step forward would always be Calyrex!

"Crunch!"

Calyrex took another bite of his carrot, clearly indicating that this was nothing worth making a fuss about.

"Vee."

Sora instructed Victini to condense Dynamax Energy and transform it into the intermediate state.

"Are you ready, Calyrex?"

"No need to worry."

Calyrex sounded completely confident.

"I am the King!"

And so...

A massive amount of dark-red energy began pouring into Calyrex’s body.

His expression remained calm.

His gaze remained resolute.

He simply endured the Dynamax Energy released by Victini.

But Sora’s goal for Calyrex wasn’t ordinary Dynamaxing.

The gaseous state represented ordinary Dynamaxing.

The liquid state represented the directional evolution Sora had theorized.

The solid state was impossible.

That was Eternatus’s power.

Sora had no way of obtaining solid Dynamax Energy.

But that didn’t matter.

What he needed was the transformation brought about by the liquid-state Dynamax Energy.

And Calyrex had volunteered precisely to test it on behalf of the other Pokémon.

"Rumble..."

A terrifying storm began swirling around Calyrex.

The astonishing pressure he released looked very similar to ordinary Dynamaxing.

But only the Hero Duo, who had once fought against the Darkest Day, understood that this was fundamentally different from ordinary Dynamaxing!

"Could it really..."

"The King has absorbed the Darkest Day’s power. He..."

Under Sora, Cynthia, and the Hero Duo’s astonished gazes...

Calyrex’s body began to change.

First came his size.

His body rapidly expanded.

In the blink of an eye, his colossal form broke through the forest canopy and continued rising to an almost unimaginable height.

Ordinary Dynamaxing could increase a Pokémon’s size by roughly twenty times.

Gigantamax could make them somewhat larger, but generally no more than thirty times.

Yet the Calyrex before them...

Compared to his original size, he had grown by more than fifty times!

And unlike the dark-red clouds associated with ordinary Dynamaxing...

Calyrex’s clouds were blue.

This change in the energy itself made Sora realize that there was some kind of special relationship between Calyrex and Eternatus.

Their methods of utilizing Dynamax Energy were fundamentally different from those of ordinary Pokémon.

Is it because of the King’s Power?

Suddenly, Calyrex’s voice sounded in Sora’s mind.

"My loyal subject..."

"I sense that something is wrong."

"What is it, Calyrex?"

Sora’s mind tightened, and he immediately asked about his condition.

No.

That wasn’t enough.

It wasn’t fast enough.

And it wasn’t clear enough.

"Establish a direct Aura connection with me, Calyrex!"

Sora released his Aura.

Calyrex didn’t resist.

Given their relationship, establishing an Aura connection was effortless.

At the same time, Victini also sensed what Sora needed.

She immediately landed on his shoulder and began replenishing a massive amount of Aura energy for him.
