The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

As for Charizard, you could say that Gigantamax Charizard is the answer to the Dynamax version.

He was one of the runners-up in the 2022 Pokémon World Championships, and his strength has been proven in actual combat.

Because in the three years since Sword and Shield was released, no offline tournaments were held in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic; only online player tournaments were held.

There will only be an offline world championship in 2022.

Blastoise was on the winning team in the children's group at that time.

The champion team in the youth group included Venusaur.

Coincidentally, one of the teams that won the championship in the Masters group had brought Charizard.

Back then, everyone was speculating whether the three starter Pokémon from the Kanto region would sweep the championship.

In the final moments, Gigantamax Charizard couldn't withstand the combined fire of its opponent's Zacian Gigabit Slash and Dynamax Thundurus's Max Lightning, resulting in a regrettable defeat and a runner-up finish.

Because Gigantamax Charizard not only has the highly effective signature move Gigantamax Inferno,

There's also the most powerful Dynamax move, Dynamax Flying Dash, which boosts speed.

I played it from the moment the eighth generation was released until the end of the eighth generation.

Charizard is also a Pokémon that has benefited from the system's advantages for two generations.

The ordinary Charizard is quite ordinary.

However, Mega Charizard Y, with its ability Sunlight, can activate Sunny Day from the start to boost the power of Fire-type moves, and its 159 Special Attack base stat allows it to unleash an AoE attack like Heat Wave, directly dominating the meta and becoming the top dual-type Charizard.

Gigantamax Charizard has Gigantamax Inferno and Gigantamax Fly, and it was very strong during the Dynamax era.

After all, he's Masuda's biological father.

Thanks to it, Venusaur and Blastoise, the three starter Pokémon from the same generation, were able to thrive alongside Charizard and benefit greatly from its advantages.

Both Mega Evolution and Gigantamax are available.

Back to the present.

After listening to Ash's description of the Dynamax battle system, Master nodded repeatedly and remarked with admiration.

"Dynamax! That's the mystery of the Pokémon in the Galar region!"

When a Pokémon Dynamaxes, not only does its appearance change, but its moves also change.

Among Dynamax forms, Gigantamax is even more special.

Speaking of Gigantamax, one cannot help but mention that secret technique passed down in Master Ma's martial arts school.

Gigantamax soup can be made by giving certain Pokémon the drink, allowing them to reach Gigantamax.

That said, it's been a long time since I've had Max Soup with tons of Max Mushrooms.

So, your second training exercise is mushroom picking!

Please have everyone collect 3 key ingredients for Gigantamax, namely Gigantamax Mushrooms.

Gigantamax mushrooms are red with swirling patterns on them, and they mostly grow in dark, damp places.

That's how it is. Now, let's begin the training. Please help me out!

The second training task was to pick mushrooms.

This giant mushroom is a really good thing; it's a kind of mushroom with some kind of magical power.

Not only do you need as few as 3 Dynamax mushrooms to make a pot of Dynamax soup, but you can also make certain Pokémon Gigantamax.

If you don't use it to make soup, you can feed it directly to a Pokémon during battle to increase all of its stats by 1.

They are also sold in some parts of the Galar region, with a Giant Mushroom costing 3000 yen, which isn't too expensive.

After learning about the content of the second training, everyone was full of enthusiasm, since it sounded simpler than the first training.

"This time, I must be the first to find it."

"I won't lose either."

Chattering excitedly, the group surged out again, heading to every corner of Armor Island to collect Giant Mushrooms.

Seeing that everyone had set off to find Gigantamax, Ash was about to go out as well, but was suddenly stopped by Mash.

"Xiao Zhi, wait a minute, don't rush."

"Master? Is there something you need?"

"Are you the only one who just arrived at Armor Island?"

You probably have no clue where to find Gigantamax mushrooms, right?

"Old man, I'm just about to go for a walk. I'll show you the way, please follow me."

"Thank you, master."

Afterwards, Mash took Ash out of the gym and they traveled through the Cool Wetlands to the entrance of the Focused Forest.

Focus Forest is a dense forest located in the central part of the Isle of Armor.

The area is characterized by tall, dense trees, intricate forest paths, and a river that flows through it, making it a primary habitat for many wild Grass and Bug-type Pokémon on the Isle of Armor.

Mastedt smiled and pointed to the forest in front of him, explaining,

"Under normal circumstances, this forest of focus would definitely be teeming with giant mushrooms."

However, a while ago, a large group of gluttonous squirrels came here and ate all the giant mushrooms.

If you go through the forest and into the warm-up cave on the other side, you might find some giant mushrooms.

It's easy to get lost in the forest, so please be careful along the way!

I'm heading back now. Please go collect some Dynamax mushrooms!

"No problem, thank you for bringing me here."

After Mash left, Ash stepped into the Forest of Concentration.

After walking a few steps, a sudden feeling of hunger in his stomach made Xiaozhi realize that although it was already afternoon, he had not eaten lunch yet.

Upon arriving at Armor Island in the morning, I went to Master Ma's Martial Arts School and began a series of training sessions.

So they stopped and decided to have lunch before continuing their journey.

Having traveled with his personal chef partners Brock, Tracey, Cilan, and Clemont, Ash had already mastered excellent cooking skills and quickly prepared a meal.

Just as Ash and Pikachu were enjoying their meal, Ash sensed through his Aura that a little guy was secretly watching them from behind a tree.

Ash immediately turned around and saw that there was indeed a dark shadow behind the tree next to him, with a little guy hiding there spying on him.

But when he turned around, Ash's eyes lit up. It was none other than a Grookey!

Xiao Zhi was overjoyed; he hadn't expected that staying here for a while would bring such an unexpected reward.

I've wanted to tame a Grookey for a long time.

It's important to know that Grookey is not only one of the starter Pokémon in the Galar region, but its final evolution, Rumblebee, is an even bigger force.

Not only is it one of the four great kings of tigers, gorillas, bears, and leopards, but it is also the second most powerful Pokémon in the universe. It is nicknamed "Full Power Leon" because of its formidable fighting power. It can be used for both offense and support, second only to Incineroar.

First, Rillaboom possesses the SSS-rank ability, Grassmaker, and is known as Giant Tapu Boom.

Such god-like characteristics are not given out casually; it can only be said that the value of being able to open up the field upon entering the game will never be outdated.

Of all 1025 Pokémon, only two currently possess this ability.
