Axel took out Eternatus's Poké Ball.
This ball was ferocious, terrifying, and the moment it was unhooked from Axel's waist, it exuded a bloodthirsty aura.
The gazes of the three people were immediately drawn to it.
"Such terrifying aura, it seems like it once appeared in the Wild Area of Galar Region," Champion Leon frowned as he looked at the Poké Ball, clearly recalling some unpleasant memories.
Raihan also looked a bit serious, "Champion, doesn't this energy resemble the thing Rose and the others were researching?"
As the two men standing at the pinnacle of the Galar Region, though one seemed like a battle maniac and the o ther looked carefree, in truth, both were thinking of how to save the Galar Region.
And they were both well aware of what Rose was researching.
Coupled with Sonia's research, it was already quite clear what kind of Pokémon was inside Axel's Poké Ball.
The source of Gigantamax in the Galar Region, that terrifying, slumbering Pokémon.
But... According to Sonia, that Pokémon was said to be extremely ferocious.
'Can Axel really tame that guy?'
Judging from Leon and Raihan's reactions, Axel knew they were already aware of Eternatus.
He grinned without explaining further, and directly pressed the button on Eternatus's Poké Ball.
Accompanied by a crimson light, the small Eternatus appeared in confusion among the four.
After appearing, Eternatus scanned the three unfamiliar faces, bared its dragon fangs, and protected Axel behind it.
"roar~"
Leon, Raihan: "..."
Alright, they were overthinking it. Although this Pokémon called Eternatus had a rather scary aura, emotions don't lie.
This guy was clearly just a child. At most, a slightly mischievous child, there's no way it was the same divine being from Galar Region.
But next, their expressions turned strange. Especially Raihan, who stared at Axel in disbelief, his gaze shifting between Axel and Eternatus.
"The method you mentioned for helping us unlock Gigantamax in other regions… don't tell me it relies on this little guy?"
"You sure this guy's even one month old?"
"Of course not," Axel naturally stretched out his hand, "Give me the Wishing Star."
'It really isn't even one month old...'
Raihan held his forehead, but still took out his own Dynamax Band first.
As long as it makes him stronger, who cares whether it's one month old or not.
Axel took the Dynamax Band, then pulled out a venom-soaked juicy glutinous rice ball from his pocket.
When he shoved it into Eternatus's mouth, a drop of venom splashed onto the ground, and the rock instantly let out a terrifying sizzling corrosion sound.
"I told you before to protect the environment, and you're still so careless…", Axel squatted down and wiped the spilled venom off the ground with his hand.
The three, Leon, Raihan, and Norton, unstinctively took a step back, exchanging looks.
'No wonder this guy can tame a legendary beast cub. That kind of potent venom, and you wipe it by hand?'
'His combat power can probably tank a hit from Charizard or Duraludon, right?'
"Eternatus, it's your turn," Axel's voice broke the trio's deep thoughts.
"roar~", Accompanied by this cute cry, an obscure and profound power radiated from Eternatus's body.
This power came quickly, and left just as quickly.
When the energy faded, a mark of little Eternatus had already appeared on Raihan's Dynamax Band.
The moment he took back his band, Raihan's eyes instantly lit up.
As a former wielder of Eternamax, he could clearly feel the power on the band had been activated.
From now on, he had the power to Gigantamax outside the Galar Region. And he was the first one to receive such power.
Raihan suddenly took a few steps back, released his Flygon, and handed it his phone.
Under Flygon's confused gaze, Raihan waved his hands excitedly.
His clothes flapped in the wind, revealing the Poké Balls on his waist.
"Champion! Dare to battle me right now?"
Flygon: o(ﾟДﾟ)っ
'The hell! You've got so many Pokémon and you still pick me?'
'You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?'
'If you don't run later after recording this, I'll take your last name.'
'If you do escape, I'll take your son's last name!'
Champion Leon grinned as he looked at Raihan, corners of his mouth lifting.
'You want to take advantage of my lack of Gigantamax to win?'
'Unfortunately… the person you're facing now isn't the reckless Leon from back then, but the Leon who has signed countless endorsement deals.'
'If you beat me, wouldn't my endorsement fees be halved?'
"Let's battle later, I'm not free right now."
Unexpectedly, after being refused by Leon, Raihan suddenly shouted in joy, "Flygon, did you see that?"
"I've risen up! Even Leon has to avoid fighting me!"
"Post the video to my social media account!"
Watching Raihan's flamboyant display, the corner of Axel's mouth twitched, and a person named Gold suddenly flashed in his mind.
Flygon also looked up at the sky.
'You're crazy, sure. Just don't scream my name when you get smacked later...'
———
Fortunately, the two were just joking and didn't actually start a battle.
It was clear that the two had a good relationship in private.
After Axel completed the enhancement for Leon, the three appeared again near the center platform at the mountaintop.
Jenny wiped the corner of her mouth, smiled, and walked up. After waving to Leon and Raihan, she turned to look at Axel, "Are you finished with your side?"
"In that case, shall we proceed to confer the medal?"
"Alright!"
The conferment ceremony quickly began. Due to potential danger, no media were invited this time.
Only Jenny from Kanto opened her device to livestream for the family group of sisters.
The ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner, and Champion Leon was sitting inside the airplane cabin, waiting for the arrival of the masked man.
The only unstable factor was Raihan, who was flying around on Flygon, laughing loudly from time to time.
Axel took a moment to glance at Raihan's social media account. The number of question mark comments had already reached a terrifying one million plus.
He was really worried Leon wouldn't hold back and come out of the cabin to rub Raihan into the ground. Fortunately, Raihan's madness didn't last long, and a sinister aura swept through the sky.
The temperature on the whole mountain suddenly dropped.
In the mountain's shadow, a tall man in a mask appeared before Axel and the others with a strange smile.
Behind him were countless men in black robes.
"Axel, after killing my adopted daughter, you still dare to flaunt your Gigantamax power…"
"Even if you invited Raihan, today I'll show you what it means to pay the price!"
Jenny raised her slender hand, and the Jenny women immediately ran into position according to the plan, standing to confront the black-robed men.
Raihan, on the other hand, pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds and started watching the show.
The masked man glanced disdainfully at the Jennys, his cold voice echoing across the platform, "Looks like you did come prepared."
"But I'll make you understand, though Raihan may be somewhat famous, compared to a real Champion…"
"He's still far from enough!"
Raihan, who was munching on sunflower seeds, was stunned on the spot.
'I just wanted to quietly watch you get whooped by Leon, and you dare diss me as weak in front of Leon?'
"Flygon, Dragon Dive!"
