A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

"Chirp~"

The Qixi Bluebird let out a faint cry, and its huge body quickly shrank in the light, turning back into its small size and collapsing to the ground.

Zhang Heng quickly put it back into the Poké Ball, then walked quickly towards Ivan and the wounded Iolup.

Zhang Heng decisively threw the Poké Ball. With a "bang", a dazzling white light flashed by, and the graceful and slender figure of Milotic appeared elegantly.

"Mienshao, Life Drop!"

Zhang Heng quickly gave the order. Milotic gently swayed its body, a gentle light gleaming in its beautiful eyes, and then it spat out crystal-clear drops of life-giving water from its mouth.

These water droplets emitted a faint halo and slowly floated towards Eolup.

When the droplets of life touched the injured part of Eulop, they instantly turned into gentle streams of energy and began to repair its broken shell and damaged interior.

The originally dim electronic eyes of Eulop gradually regained their luster, and its wings began to tremble slightly.

"It's okay now. It's just some minor injuries. Let Iolup rest for a few days and he will recover."

Zhang Heng breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Iolup gradually improve. He turned to look at Ivan, his eyes serious. "Ivan, tell me, what force attacked the lab?"

Ivan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then tapped the badge on his chest with his fingertips. The badge projected a blue light curtain, which was a virtual light screen.

He swiped rapidly across the virtual control panel, bringing up a screen full of interlaced data streams. "Based on IP tracing and energy fluctuation analysis, the mastermind behind this attack is likely the United States, which owns Metagross, and the Anglo-French alliance."

"But strangely, the address from which the attack instructions were issued appears to be within the borders of Bang and Sakura Country."

He zoomed in on the three-dimensional map, and saw dense signal sources jumping wildly in the two countries' regions like a cancer.

"This is no coincidence—Metallica's habitat has never been found in the mainland of South Korea or Sakura Country. These quasi-gods have always been a strategic resource firmly controlled by the British-French Alliance and the United States."

"What's even more interesting is," Ivan called up an encrypted file, and the data stream in his pupils made his eyes even colder.

"The encryption algorithms used to disguise these IP addresses are highly consistent with the technical documents leaked by the U.S. military last year. In other words, this is a carefully planned 'borrowing a knife to kill someone' strategy, using a third-party identity to conceal the true intention."

Zhang Heng stroked his chin and remained silent.

Ivan continued, "Especially after you displayed your Gigantamax form in the Grass-type Wild Area the other day, the movements of foreign forces have intensified significantly."

"The Koreans must have sent spies to invade."

"Xiaoying is trying to create public pressure, claiming that the Aluminum Steel Dragon was purchased at a huge price from the Anglo-French Alliance and was looted from a freighter by your father."

He called up the international news interface, and the screen was flooded with maliciously edited videos and inflammatory headlines.

"They are now exploiting this issue, frantically building momentum in the international arena, and uniting multiple countries to launch a trade war against us. South Korea and the Sakura Country, as the vanguard, are particularly active in this farce."

Zhang Heng was indifferent to this and said, "Even if the sky falls, it can't crush us. We have someone taller to hold us up. They can't even stir up any waves."

In Zhang Heng's scenario, based on his father's strength, a conservative estimate is that they would not be able to hold him back without three or four champions.

Would South Korea and Japan really go all out to target his father at the behest of the United States? That was certainly impossible.

He turned his gaze to the still-glimmering constant-temperature chamber lying nearby. "Let's get back to the point. How's the development of the Max-Gig Wristband going?"

Ivan's eyes lit up instantly, and he excitedly pulled up the three-dimensional energy map. "Zhang Heng, you just made Qixi Bluebird complete the entire Dynamaxing process. Your research has broken through the bottleneck."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​extracting the core material of the Wish Star, making it into a wristband to wear on your hand, and then channeling this power into the Poké Ball to make Pokémon grow giant?"

"Your imaginative and practical approach embodies the exploratory and proactive nature of a scientist."

Zhang Heng heard this and felt that he couldn't tell him that he came from another world.

But Zhang Heng really didn't want to be a so-called "scientist". Showing off his knowledge was not what he wanted, and he had no desire for this unfounded halo. He didn't need it.

The title of Son of Champion alone is enough for him to travel freely within China. The most important thing for him now is to improve his strength.

"Well, it was just a flash of inspiration, not scientific research. I hope you can replicate my idea as soon as possible and produce the Gigantamax wristband as soon as possible."

Ivan nodded and said, "Okay. Actually, once we have a direction for our research, I believe we will progress very quickly. The prerequisite now is how to collect the wishing stars you mentioned."

"After I gave you some last time, didn't you collect it?"

Aiwen said helplessly, "Yes, the Alliance secretly searched within China. Based on the feedback from various places, there really aren't many of these items."

"We do have quite a bit overseas, but if we buy a lot, it will definitely alert foreign powers. We just want to be the first to do so and don't want to make it public, so progress is slow."

Zhang Heng nodded when he heard this. Only by mastering Gigantamax first can they have more say in the international arena. Zhang Heng also saw that the wishing star blocks collected in the constant temperature warehouse can be used to make at least 20 Gigantamax wristbands.

However, the technology is not yet mature, so production will definitely be reduced. The yield rate is only about 50%, so we can only produce about 10 pieces.

"That won't do..."

Zhang Heng silently took off the giant wristband on his left hand and handed it to Ivan, saying, "If you have this finished giant wristband as a reference, you should be able to speed up the process and improve the yield rate. Right?"

Ivan was a little hesitant to take Zhang Heng's giant wristband. He never thought Zhang Heng had such courage, and he never thought he would trust him, a returnee, so much.

A long time ago, Zhang Heng had some prejudice against him because he had returned from studying abroad. He even thought that he had leaked key information about Gigantamaxing overseas and signed a contract with him.

Zhang Heng stuffed it into his hand and said, "Here, take it. In fact, if it weren't for you and Iolup, the Dynamax research data would have been leaked long ago. If you were a spy, there would be no need to do this."

Ivan was stunned for a moment and looked at the Eulop in front of him. Thanks to Zhang Heng's treatment, it had recovered some strength.

"Don't give it to me. I'll have Iolup scan it and save the information quickly."

Iolup flapped its wings and slowly took flight. Psychic energy flowed through its prism-like compound eyes, quickly scanning the gigantic wristband on Ivan's hand.

All the data of the Maximal wristband seems to have been replicated and is generally stored in a mobile supercomputer called Europ.

Zhang Heng has achieved this point, and it can be said that he is no longer of any use in the subsequent research on the giant wristband. Now the researchers in the institute need to race against time.

I couldn't help but look up at the dilapidated research institute, and I felt worried, wondering if it would be too late.

Although Ivan was a researcher, he was very attentive. He said, "Don't worry. The main part of the laboratory has always been underground. The protective measures on the ground have been destroyed, but the sophisticated equipment underground is still there. It won't take long."

A gleam suddenly flashed in Ivan's eyes. He pushed his glasses and said, "Zhang Heng, I have an idea. You've already attracted attention both at home and abroad, and tomorrow is your school's top 100 competition. How about..."

Zhang Heng turned around and exchanged glances with Ivan. It seemed that they both understood each other's thoughts. Since the international public opinion was so chaotic, it would be better to muddy the waters even more.

The two spoke in unison, expressing their thoughts.

"Announcement of Gigantamax!"
