After spending some time with Dragonite across the cold screen, Xia Chi's slight irritation subsided considerably.
He smiled and said to the other side of the screen, "Alright, Dragon, give the phone back to Yui. Let's talk another day."
The Dragonite on the screen obediently nodded its head, reluctantly moving its chubby face away from the camera. It even stretched out its little paws and pulled back Vibrating Wing, who was chatting enthusiastically with Victini next to it, to indicate that it shouldn't block the camera.
Bictini waved her little claws goodbye to the winged creature on the screen before flying back to the living room to continue watching TV.
Xia Chi picked up her phone, just about to say goodbye to Youyi and hang up, but Youyi spoke first, her tone unusually serious: "By the way, boss, there's something I want to ask you."
"Hmm? What is it?"
Xia Chi stopped what she was doing.
"Do you need... me to send those three guys from home over to you?"
Xia Chi was slightly taken aback, then realized what was happening.
Yui was talking about living a completely "retired life" on Qiming Island, spending her days sunbathing and spacing out, and being one of the three legendary birds, Moltres, Articuno, and Zapdos, who can be called the "Three Great Gods" of the Pokémon world.
Since being "recruited" by Xia Chi, they have spent most of their time in a "lying flat" state, except for providing electricity and heating for Qiming Island.
Why did you suddenly think of them?
Xia Chi asked with some curiosity.
He didn't proactively reveal the potential crisis Galar was facing to Yui, after all, he didn't want her to worry unnecessarily.
Yui chuckled and said, "It's just my gut feeling. I haven't seen any news from Galar even though I've been back for several days. It feels like something's about to happen."
Xia Chi teased, "Oh, you can even quote ancient poems from Donghuang now?"
Xin Youyi scolded playfully, "Don't interrupt, I'm asking you something serious."
She knew that Xia Chi was deliberately changing the subject to avoid making her worry.
"Those three birds may seem lazy at times, but their combined strength is quite considerable, right? What if... I mean, what if you don't have enough manpower, or you need extra combat power to hold things up? It would be good to send them over to fill in the gaps."
Xia Chi's teasing expression gradually faded.
Frankly speaking, with the current combat power around me—Reshiram, Milton, and Urgot, plus Meowth and Bear Master, who are already comparable to ordinary legendary Pokémon, as well as the Sword and Shield duo who may intervene at any time.
On paper, they are indeed strong enough to deal with an awakened Eternatus.
But what if?
Just like last time in the Unova region, who could have predicted that Team Rocket and Team Plasma would suddenly join forces, almost causing irreparable consequences?
While the individual strength of the three legendary birds may be considered low among legendary Pokémon, the "Triple-Aspect Legendary Bird," formed by fusion under the guidance of the Bond system, is definitely not to be underestimated.
With that in mind, Xia Chi nodded without further hesitation.
"Then I'll trouble you to make the trip and bring them over."
"Okay, then Yui, you can bring them over."
Fortunately, I left the Poké Balls of the three legendary birds at home before leaving, otherwise it would have been quite cruel to make them fly all the way from the Eastern Kingdom to Galar...
Even for prisoners of war, this seems rather inhumane.
Upon hearing Xia Chi's agreement, Youyi's tone immediately brightened: "No problem, boss, leave it to me, I'll send it over to you tomorrow!"
Summer Pond:
'
""
Isn't this action a bit too fast?
"Uh, there's really no need to rush. You can settle things on the island first..."
Before he could finish speaking, the phone went dead with a busy signal; Yui had already hung up.
Xia Chi held the phone, paused for two seconds, then shook her head with a helpless smile.
Based on his understanding of Uniqlo, this girl would probably start checking flights and packing her luggage as soon as she hung up the phone.
Well, it's better to come early.
Who knows when that guy Loz will start the plan?
Uniqlo's efficiency is astonishing.
They said it would be delivered the next day, but in reality, Xia Chi had just woken up when she was about to get off the plane.
Judging from the timeline, she was probably preparing to leave yesterday after hanging up the phone.
Amidst the bustling crowd in the airport's arrival area, Xia Chi spotted Uniqlo looking around immediately.
She looked better than expected, but the faint bluish tinge under her eyes betrayed her lack of sleep.
"here,"
Xia Chi waved to her.
Yui saw them and immediately smiled, pushing her suitcase as she quickly walked over.
Yui took a Poké Ball storage box out of her handbag, opened it, and handed it to Xia Chi.
"Here you are, safely delivered."
Yui's tone carried a hint of relief, as if she had completed her task.
Xia Chi took the storage box and saw five Poké Balls neatly arranged inside.
Three of them naturally belong to the three legendary birds, while the two extra ones, which Xia Chi, who spends every day with them, knows very well, are Winged Dragon and Dragonite.
"Why did you bring them along?"
Xia Chi looked up at Yui with some surprise.
This wasn't mentioned on the phone yesterday.
Yui shrugged, giving a "doesn't even need asking" look: "I was rushing out with Moltres and the others' Poké Balls. How could Fa Jie, who's so smart, not guess that you might need reinforcements? What could I do? I had no choice but to bring them along."
Xia Chi couldn't help but smile.
That guy Zhenyi, in yesterday's video he looked so disgusted, like "I only want Bicotini," but then he turned around and asked to come along...
I don't remember it having any arrogant or haughty traits.
"Alright, thank you for your trouble, Yui, coming all this way."
Xia Chi carefully put the storage box away and suggested, "Let's stay at the hotel, get some sleep, and then go back."
Yui glanced at Xia Chi and said, "Why did you let me stay in Galar a few more days last time, but this time you're in such a hurry to send me back?"
Of course, it's because they're afraid the arrival of "dark night" will affect you.
This is Xia Chi's true thought, but she definitely can't tell Yui directly and make her worry.
She knew, of course, that Xia Chi was worried about her safety and didn't want her to be involved in any potential dangers.
This is Xia Chi's true thought, but she definitely can't tell Yui directly and make her worry.
Seeing Xia Chi's hesitant expression, Yui took the initiative and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't hold you back if anything happens. I think there will be some things you'll need my help with, right?"
That makes sense.
When Anuttara awakens, it will inevitably cause great chaos.
Uniqlo is definitely capable of handling tasks such as evacuating crowds.
Moreover, her experience with the Lava Team has honed her excellent escape skills, so there's not much to worry about regarding her safety.
At worst, we can send Bictini to protect her.
Anyway, this little guy probably won't be of much use on the big battlefield.
Before Xia Chi could speak, Youyi had already pulled her suitcase and walked towards the airport exit on her own, turning back to urge him on as she went.
"Come on, come on, don't just stand there! Galar Airlines' in-flight meals are awful, I'm starving! Boss, you have to take me out for something good this time to make up for all the trouble I went through delivering this to your door!"
Xia Chi quickly followed, complaining helplessly, "What a coincidence, I was just looking for a decent restaurant in Quan Guan City, I'm almost sick of eating here these past few days."
Yui waved her hand dismissively, saying, "Don't worry, it's okay. We have Sister Fa here now, I'll take care of the ingredients, I guarantee it'll do a great job!"
Xia Chi was both amused and exasperated. So, Sister Fa came here just to manage logistics?
The two chatted and laughed, leading their elves, their figures gradually blending into the morning sunlight and slightly chilly air outside the Hammerlocke Airport.
Uniqlo's addition has definitely livened up the team atmosphere a lot.
After all, it wasn't just the lively Zhenyifa who brought along; Fajie's appearance revitalized the previously listless Bictini.
In short, the invisible pressure brought by Wujitana has been relieved quite a bit.
During this seemingly peaceful period, Xia Chi did not completely relax.
Search the wilderness around Motostoke for potential Dynamax events, return to Flywood to help Sonia research the Dynamax Band, or occasionally call Leon to check on the progress of the search for Zacian.
Unfortunately, the legendary siblings seem to have vanished even further, and Dante and Master Maste have yet to make any groundbreaking discoveries.
However, Xia Chi could clearly sense that beneath the calm surface of Quan Guan City, the concentration of that strange fluctuation unique to Wujitana was constantly rising.
February 10th arrived amidst a mix of calm and undercurrents.
It has been exactly one week since Natsuki arrived in Motogakure.
There's been no new development in Lozna, but Sonia has brought some good news.
The first generation of the Dynamax Bracers has been successfully developed!
Xia Chi was wandering the streets in the wilderness around Quan Guan City when he heard the news and immediately took the Milerton to Shuizhou Town.
Milerton was extremely fast, and since the two places were not too far apart, Xia Chi arrived at the research institute on the outskirts of Shuizhou Town in just over ten minutes.
From afar, he could see a strikingly large, orange-yellow figure standing on the dedicated open-air testing ground behind the research institute.
It was a dog that had been magnified dozens of times, its size comparable to a three- or four-story building.
Its originally small and cute body has now become enormous, with limbs like thick pillars, fluffy fur like clouds, and its signature tongue-out gesture exuding a powerful aura.
It was looking down, curiously examining the buildings and trees around it that had shrunk countless times, its huge tail swaying gently, its eyes filled with novelty and excitement, clearly finding this unprecedented giant perspective incredibly novel.
Xia Chi let Milerton land not far away, and then quickly walked to the edge of the test field.
Sonia was standing in front of a makeshift observation platform, holding a portable energy monitor in her hands, her fingers recording data on the touch panel, her face filled with barely suppressed joy and excitement.
She was surrounded by several equally excited researchers.
"Xia Chi, over here!"
Sonia caught a glimpse of Xia Chi out of the corner of her eye and immediately waved and shouted.
Xia Chi walked over quickly, looked up at the Dynamaxed Yggdrasil, and couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Although I've seen Dynamax scenes countless times in games and anime, witnessing this dramatic increase in size firsthand still delivers a powerful visual impact.
"Did you see that? Did you see that, Xia Chi!"
Sonia almost jumped up. She pointed at the electric dog and then shook the rather delicate-looking wristband device on her wrist, which was inlaid with a small, irregular light blue crystal.
"Your approach is absolutely correct. Using specially treated star fragments as the core energy conductor and amplifier, combined with our designed micro-energy circulation loop, only a very small amount of Dynamax energy activated by the meteorite sample is needed to stably trigger and maintain the Pokémon's Dynamax state!"
Her cheeks flushed with excitement as she continued, "Don't worry, once the Maxim Bracelet completes all testing and is officially released, I will definitely make it clear in the research report that you are the biggest contributor to proposing the key theory. This honor rightfully belongs to you!"
Xia Chi looked at Sonia's serious expression and shook his head with a smile: "It's really okay. It doesn't matter whose credit it is. The most gratifying thing is that this technology was successfully developed."
He was speaking from the heart.
Fame and fortune were nothing to him. Moreover, he was almost certain that Olive had probably already mastered similar or even more advanced technology, but had simply not made it public.
"Oh, right."
Xia Chi turned his gaze back to the Dynamaxed Yamper in the arena, who was acting like a curious child, and asked, "Is there a suitable battleground? I'm curious how Dynamaxed Pokémon perform in actual battles."
Although he has used Dynamax countless times in the game, he is still full of curiosity about the power of Dynamax moves in real life.
Sonia nodded and pointed to a battlefield protected by an energy barrier next to the testing ground: "That's it. I also want to test some real-world data."
She then looked up and shouted at the giant electric dog in the arena, "Electric dog, come over to this battlefield and let us test your new power!"
"Woof!" 6
The Dynamaxed Rumble let out a much deeper bark than usual, sounding very excited.
It then leaped towards the battlefield on its still incredibly tiny little legs.
Xia Chi carefully observed its gait.
Surprisingly, despite its enormous size.
However, when it walked, the ground did not produce the heavy tremors and roars that one would expect, like the stomping of a giant beast.
Xia Chi understood.
It seems that, just like in the game, Dynamax mainly results in an "energy projection" expansion of size, rather than a proportional increase in mass.
While the Pokémon's physical mass and certain physical attributes may not change much, their energy output, move range and power, and potential special effects such as the terrain effects brought by Dynamax moves will see a qualitative leap.
Dynamaxed Uber was quickly moved to the center of the battlefield.
Its enormous body occupied almost half of the space. Looking down at Sonia and Xia Chi, who looked like tiny specks below, it seemed a little uncomfortable with this perspective.
Sonia began giving commands: "Electric dog, give us a bolt of lightning first!"
Since it's positioned as a companion Pokémon that isn't good at battling, Yordle definitely won't use high-powered moves like Thunderbolt or Thunder.
But it's more than enough for a move like lightning.
The Dynamaxed Electivire seemed a little nervous. It wiggled its huge rear end and began to work hard to gather the electric energy within its body.
It's clear that it rarely battles, and its attack speed is comparable to that of Torkoal.
Xia Chi and Sonia waited patiently.
The researchers around him also held their breath, pointing their various recording instruments at the incoming caller.
Finally, after nearly ten seconds of preparation, the Dynamaxed Electivire suddenly tilted its head back, and its body burst forth with dazzling golden lightning.
