He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 4314 Underground Energy Factory?

There are clearly no attribute advantages or disadvantages.

Even the Galar Meowth boss itself has considerable resistance to Dragon-type moves.

But when that blast landed, the Meowth's massive body was blasted backward, and its Dynamax energy dissipated.

The Meowth was instantly forced back to its original form from its Dynamax state and collapsed on the field, unable to battle.

It was only at that moment that Ah Liu finally realized—

It seems that his own Dragon King Scorpion has indeed undergone some kind of mutation.

After thinking it over, the only thing that could be called a "special event" seemed to be the chemical truck that was accidentally crashed that day.

"Bari~"

The Mr. Mime, carrying a tray, walked over from the side and offered a teacup.

Ah Liu took the black tea, blew on it gently, and then let out a long sigh of relief.

"Anyway, that's pretty much it~"

In retrospect, it's not a bad thing; in fact, it should be considered a good thing.

As a result, Draconis Gorilla mastered powerful Dragon-type moves, as well as the exceptionally strong "Dragon Pulse".

It is already quite lethal against ordinary Pokémon.

And when facing an opponent in their Dynamaxed form, they become ridiculously powerful—

It can even ignore attributes and resistances.

It can blast the opponent back to their original form with a single shot; it's terrifyingly powerful!

In some ways, he could be called a "Galar Killer"!

The only downside is that it can't be used continuously.

Basically, a battle can only be fought once.

After listening to A-Liu's story, Xiao-Zhi, Xiao-You, and Marie looked at each other in bewilderment.

As expected, it's related to Dynamax!

"So, the so-called Dragon Pulse is actually a move that can counter Dynamax?"

Ash subconsciously glanced at Pikachu not far away.

Pikachu is holding a berry and munching on it as a midnight snack.

This guy learned the Giant Beast Slash from the Galar Elder God, which can also ignore type and resistance, and deal terrifying critical hits to opponents after they have Dynamaxed.

In terms of effect, it is very similar to the abnormal "Dragon Pulse" of Dragon King Scorpion.

"So, was that Marocmon Group truck carrying a liquid related to Dynamax?"

Xiaoyou touched her chin, her eyes gradually becoming serious.

The matter has come full circle, and it seems to have circled back to Chairman Rose again.

Mary couldn't help but chime in, guessing:

"Could it be related to what Chairman Rose is going to do?"

She emphasized the words "that matter" slightly.

The fact that Guild Master Rose might summon a Dynamax dragon to cause trouble is not something that should be casually shared.

But according to what A-Liu just said, the Marocmon Group is conducting some kind of dangerous experiment.

Therefore, the chemical reagent truck was carrying some kind of experimental raw material.

Or is it waste?

Pouring this water onto the Dragon King Scorpion can trigger mutations. The purity of this substance is quite high!

Moreover, it was located on the outskirts of Quanji City.

"Is Chairman Lotz conducting some kind of experiment in Motostoke City?"

Xiao Zhi muttered to himself, "Besides the modified castle there, what other crazy scientific experiments are there?"

I'll have to call Mr. Gibana later and ask him to do another thorough search of Hammerlocke City. It's possible that more than just the Treasure Vault Castle has been modified!

The three chatted casually, while Ah Liu sat quietly drinking tea, seemingly listening to a foreign language.

What about President Loz and the crazy experiments?

These things have nothing to do with him, an outsider.

Now he's simply thinking about where he can find more suitable high-level World Championship players.

I've heard that the city of Miyagi in the north is home to the largest number of elite trainers in the Galar region.

It is also the venue for the final World Championship, the Masters-level main draw.

Okay, I'll go to that place myself now!

A-Liu's gaze then fell on Xiao-Zhi, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated—

That said, it's rare to find someone who's also an old friend.

As it grew darker, why did Xiao Zhi seem to have absolutely no intention of inviting me to stay the night?

After sitting for a while longer, Ah Liu prepared to leave.

Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to make a serious promise to Ash:

"Ash, see you at the summit!"

Ash could only nod and laugh awkwardly, watching as A-Liu retrieved the three Pokémon and disappeared into the night.

No problem. It's not far from Motostoke. It's only a 20-minute walk to the Pokémon Center for accommodation.

But you know what—

With the "Dragon Pulse" ability that can counter Dynamax Pokémon, if A-Liu were to specifically lock down his battlegrounds to various arenas from now on...

The rankings could very well continue to climb higher!

If an opponent dares to Dynamax, Drapion can suddenly unleash a powerful attack, potentially defeating even a stronger trainer.

Maybe they can even break into the top 40.

But if we want to go any further, then it's a bit risky.

After all, once a certain point is reached, the deterrent effect of a single shot still exists, but its role is no longer as absolute.

Instead of going back inside immediately, Ash and his two friends sat at the table and discussed things for a while longer.

The information brought by A-Liu was undoubtedly important.

"It seems that Chairman Rose has been secretly researching something."

Xiao Zhi said in a low voice, "Thinking about it, that makes sense."

After all, to summon the legendary Dynamax Dragon, you can't just raise your hand and shout "Come forth, Shenron!" and it will appear instantly, right?

It definitely requires some kind of cutting-edge technology.

"Perhaps we need to use some special tool?"

Xiao You thought for a moment before speaking.

She then pulled out her Rotom phone, intending to use her Watt Merchant connections to investigate whether there had been any large-scale collection of items recently.

Perhaps it is the very thing needed to summon a Dynamax dragon.

Ash snapped out of his daze and quickly sent a text message to Raihana to see if there were any remaining survivors or potentially dangerous labs hiding in Motostoke.

Meanwhile, in Quanjie City.

Upon seeing the text message, Cibana on the other end of the phone was immediately overwhelmed!

He hasn't even figured out the modified castle yet, and now an unknown laboratory has appeared.

But if there's any place in Hammerlocke that he hasn't personally searched yet, it seems like that's the only one left.

Beneath the towering boxing arena lies an underground energy factory.

That was a high-tech industrial base dominated by the Marocomón Group, known as the energy heart of Galar, with its power grid extending to almost the entire Galar region.

Its position is extremely important!

Therefore, security is tight, and only core personnel of the Marocomón Group are allowed to enter for routine maintenance and repairs.

Even he, the "owner" of the boxing arena, needs to apply to enter.

After thinking it over, it seems that only this place is suspicious.

"How about I sneak down and take a look?"

Cibana stroked his chin, deep in thought. (End of Chapter)
