Dynamx and New Pokemon

After school, the group heads to the School Gym since Ash is going to show them everything about the Dynamax. Ash says, "Pikachu, I am sorry that I will have to recall you for now." Pikachu groans as Ash recalls him into the Pokeball.

"Why are you doing so?" Elline asks, "Pikachu doesn't like Pokeballs, right? Why are you forcing him to get into one?"

Ash smiles and he says, "There is a particular reason for that." Ash shows them another band on his wrist, he activates it and emits a pink glow as the Pokeball starts becoming bigger and it is the same size as his head.

"Is it me or the Pokeball is getting bigger and bigger?" Serena asks. And then Ash tosses the Pokeball, and Pikachu comes out, only to be 10 times larger than its original size.

"What? What happened? Pikachu is a giant now!" Those who don't know about the Galar are shocked at the revelation.

Minami says, "That is how the Dynamax works. Dynamax is a temporary transformation affecting Pokémon. Trainers who obtain a Dynamax Band can Dynamax their Pokémon. According to Professor Magnolia, the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them. This transformation has another special variant known as Gigantamax."

"Gigantamax?" East asks, "What is that? Can you tell us about it?"

"Like other Dynamaxing, Gigantamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically and its HP in battle. Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax, and when they do, their appearance changes significantly, unlike regular Dynamaxing. As revealed by Professor Magnolia, the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them while altering their appearance drastically." Lillie says.

"Okay...that is quite cool." Helen says. "But how does it come from?"

"About that, I'm going to talk about the Legendary Pokemon of the Galar Region." Ash opens the projection on the stage and it shows three Pokemon. "They are Zacian, Zamazenta and Eternatus. Let's say that Etenatus is a villain and the other two are heroes. About their Pokedex information, I'll talk about it later."

Mark says, "After its defeat thousands of years ago by Zacian and Zamazenta, Eternatus's energy leaked out during its slumber in the form of Galar particles. This resulted in the creation of Power Spots, where Trainers can trigger the Dynamax transformation. Some Power Spots had Gym Stadiums built over them, and others in the Wild Area became Pokémon Dens, where Max Raid Battles take place."

"Parts of Eternatus's body, known as Wishing Stars, rained across Galar, allowing whoever found them to Dynamax their Pokémon when at a Power Spot. Dynamax Bands were later created by the secretary of a famous company in the Galar Region to help anyone fully utilize the transformation there. Dynamax was later implemented into the Galar League's Gym Battles by the Chairman of the famous company in the Galar Region who had most of the Gyms built atop of the Power Spots." Minami says.

"That sounds cool." Elline says, "So let me guess, the reason why our gym battlefields are big is that you also put Power Spots inside there?"

"Yeah, now that you learn the truth, I will have to give you the Gigantamax Pokemon." Ash says, causing them to get excited.

Lillie says, "Not only that, but Chairman Goodshow also gives us a letter, and I must say, he is impressed by our performance and all of you are going to keep your title as a gym leader."

"That's great." Flora says, "We really work hard and there is no reason that we are going to be fired from our positions."

"That's right." Eve says. "So what are we going to do with the Gigantamax?"
