Galar's Secret Miracle

The Answer For Strength

~{Author's Pre-Notes}~

(A Mimikyu stands in the middle of a black and red distorted-looking subway, wearing a black coat and white mask over its eyes as black distorted masses wearing several masks wander about in the distance.)

Dear god... To think the day I returned would be the day right before the next school year officially starts once again. Man, it's been a while...

(Starts sparkling innocently)

And I'm not apologizing for it! Granted, I know, it's been a long time since the last update, about ten months, to be exact. And the reason why is actually pretty simple, I ended up kinda losing myself in the new ideas I made into new fics in addition to trying to enjoy my school-free break the best I can. I'm sure readers of my other fics (at least on ArchiveOfOurOwn and ) know that I ended up kinda going into a spiral from danmachi, or as it's actually called, 'Is It Wrong To Pick Up Girls in A Dungeon' (yes, that name is exactly what you'd expect), and ended up making and primarily updating those two fics around that anime because of my passion for it and the huge support it received.

Sorry, not sorry.

But I do admit, I did put off this fic more than the others over time, and part of that is because I actually had no idea what direction to take the next chapter, but now I'm here!

Thank you all for still being readers despite my absolute mess of inconsistency; I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

(One of the large, vaguely humanoid mass shadows with masks sees him and an exclamation mark pops up before he charges.)

Uh oh, that's my cue!

(Grabs mask)

Come, JACK FROST!

(Tears off mask and bursts into blue flames.)

"Hee-ho!"

~{Northern Stony Wilderness}~

Victor sped through the wet fields of the Wild Area, appearing as a blur of pink and red electricity sparking across the terrain, causing the many Pokemon in the vicinity to glance in shock as the shape passed by. To the left of him was Ace, who was matching him quite well in speed. Above them, Twilight soared in the sky with Midori riding on top of him, expertly gliding through the air and easily keeping up with their companions on the ground. As for Tesla, he remained sleeping peacefully in Victor's backpack despite his increased speed, the rocking motions of his movements actually helping the bug Pokemon snooze away.

It had been over an hour since the boy's meeting with Colress, and he spent most of it running steadily with his newfound ability that he opted to call 'Dynaboosting.'

Not very original, but it was simple to say and still sounds a little cool despite its simplicity. Or at least, that's how it is in Victor's eyes.

Regardless, Victor did learn a few other things about Dynaboosting as he used it to traverse the wilds better. One, while he knew he could gain a massive amount of Watts of Dynamax energy from Raid Dens by fighting the Dynamax Pokemon there, he could also still get a decent amount of Watts just by going by the entrance with his outstretched hand holding his Dynamax Band. Granted, it wasn't a significant recharge like how it had been when fighting that Dynamax Togepi, but it still felt like he got a good amount from it.

Second, while using Dynaboosting improved Victor's strength and speed overall, the current amount of it he was continuously using only really allowed him to match the basic capabilities of base-state Pokemon or the weaker evolved ones, as despite using Dynaboosting to help speed him up through the fields, Ace was still able to match it naturally without much trouble. But then again, that might be because a Raboot's base speed numeric-wise is ninety-four, which is pretty fast for a second-base-form Pokemon.
