The soul penetrates Xiaozhi and destroys Gou Hao at the beginning

"Wow! As expected of Lala and Sai Sai, you two worked really hard!"

"The second training has also seen a second and a third person complete it," Ma Shide laughed.

"Wow! I did it! Waaaaah..."

"Waaah... I did it! Yes, I really gave it my all!"

Upon hearing Mastedt's praise, Clara and Seborrhee were so moved that they burst into tears, deeply touched.

"Stop crying, congratulations, Clara and Saiboli," Miye said with a smile.

Clara, suppressing her overwhelming emotions, wiped away the tears on her face and then pleaded,

"Master, mistress, please let me be willful this once. Please use my Maximbo to make Maximbo soup. I want everyone to taste the flavor of my hard work."

"Me too, Master, Madam. This is the first time I've ever made such a selfish request. I also hope that my Maximbo can be put into that Maximbo soup. I also hope that everyone can feel the taste of my hard work and struggle," Saiboli also requested.

"Clara... Saiboli... this is nothing, no problem."

"But this isn't the first time you've made such a capricious request," Honey Leaf said with a smile.

"Teacher's wife...!!"

"Madam Teacher...!!"

Seeing the two of them looking embarrassed, Honey Leaf smiled and turned to Ash to ask,

"So, Ash, I'm sorry."

How about we let these two kids use their Maximbo to make today's Maximbo soup?

I rarely see them so serious. Your Dynamax mushroom is now entirely up to you.

"This won't affect your grades. You've already completed your training, so don't worry."

"And we even got 3 Gigantamax Mushrooms for free!" Masted laughed.

“No problem, I have no objection,” Xiao Zhi said.

So Honey Leaf put the three giant mushrooms that Clara and Saiboli had each picked, a total of six, into the soup to cook.

As the giant mushroom was added to the pot, the already boiling broth immediately released its aroma, and the entire pot of soup turned a dark red color.

As it was almost cooked, three Dynamaxed gray-red clouds floated above the pot lid.

"Come on, everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting! This is Master Ma's famous Giant Soup!"

As Miye spoke, she brought the pot of giant soup to the table.

But this line just doesn't sit right with Xiaozhi; it really does seem like it:

"Here comes the chicken soup!"

Back to the present.

"Old man, my stomach is growling! Let's eat!"

Seated at the head of the table, Mastedt eagerly began serving the soup.

The disciples sitting on either side of the dining table then began to eat.

"We won't be polite!"

"Max Soup is so delicious!"

……

After everyone finished the soup, they all gave it a thumbs up, saying that the soup was delicious.

Xiao Zhi also drank a bowl and found that the taste was indeed very good, but it was a bit bitter.

People who don't like bitter tastes or Pokémon probably won't be able to accept this Max Soup.

"Ash, speaking of which, I don't think I've explained this Max Soup to you in detail yet."

After drinking Master Ma's Martial Arts School's Great Soup...

Before Masder could finish speaking, Clara interrupted and answered.

"Will the power of Dynamax surge within me!?"

"Haha, this kind of change won't happen to humans."

However, if certain specific Pokémon drink it, it's a different story.

"When a Pokémon with potential drinks this soup, it will transform into a special form when it Dynamaxes, namely Gigantamax," Masted laughed.

"Oh."

Clara responded and sat back down.

"Alright, let's get back to the main topic."

The second training session was tough, everyone worked hard!

Thank you also to Xiaoye for cooking soup for us.

As soon as Ma Shide finished speaking, all the disciples followed suit and thanked their master's wife.

"Thank you, Madam!"

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Ash originally wanted to go back to rest, but Mash called him back separately.

"Xiao Zhi, come to my room later, I have something to tell you."

"Ok."

Five minutes later, Ash arrived at Mastedt's room as promised, only to find Mastedt, Clara, and Saiboli all there.

Upon seeing that Xiao Zhi had also arrived, Ma Shide greeted him with a smile.

"Ash, Lala, Sai, thank you for gathering here."

"Master, you said something happened, what is it?" Clara asked.

"Yes, I rushed over as soon as I heard that Master was in trouble," Sai Baoli said.

Xiao Zhi looked at Ma Shide with the same puzzlement.

"Yes, that's right. I plan to have the three of you challenge the third of the three major training methods at Master Ma's Martial Arts School."

That is, the final, ultimate challenge, the third stage!

"The final challenge, the ultimate level 3!? What does that mean?" Saiboli asked.

"The final challenge, the ultimate third stage!? Hmm, so it means it's the last challenge of the training?" Clara asked, puzzled.

As for Ash, he was internally complaining about what kind of nonsense these words were.

"That's right, there are only three of you disciples in the entire martial arts school who can complete the second stage of training."

I hope that the three of you, who have honed your skills and learned from each other along the way, can finally settle things with a Dynamax Pokémon battle!

"The three of us are going to fight?! This is the final training session?!" Clara exclaimed in surprise.

"A duel between the three of us!? Is that the final training!?" Saiboli asked in surprise.

"That's right, the rules are very simple. The winner is qualified, and the qualified person can get the secret armor of Master Ma's martial arts school."

"We've finally come this far... It's been so hard... But..." Clara looked at Ash with a wary expression, wanting to say something but unable to find the words.

"I never expected that the final training would involve us in battle."

Saiboli also looked at Xiaozhi with a worried expression, desperately trying to figure out how to win the battle when the difference in strength was so great.

"The battle will take place in the dojo's backyard, where there's an energy point. You can use Dynamax to battle to your heart's content. I'll announce the specific battle rules once you're all there," Masted said.

"No, we can't keep dawdling like this. We need to get to the site early, be ready, and be mentally prepared."

"I'll head over first then. You guys better be like Galar Slowpoke, take your time getting ready before you come."

Clara seemed to have thought of something, and ran away as soon as she finished speaking.

"I can't delay any longer; I need to get to the battlefield quickly and mentally rehearse it first."

Well then, goodbye. I'll be going now. You guys can take your time, like the Galar Slowpoke, and get ready to come over later.
