The reason Sonia knows so much about Dynamax is because her grandmother was one of the main developers of the Dynamax Band.
Just then, Marnie recalled her Morpeko back into its Poké Ball on the battlefield.
In less than five seconds, the Poké Ball, which was originally only the size of a tennis ball, suddenly expanded to larger than a basketball.
Its surface was covered with a layer of deep purple luminescent film.
The next moment, Marnie forcefully threw the enlarged Poké Ball.
Instantly, Morpeko, the electric mouse Pokémon that was originally only 30cm tall,
made its second appearance with a gigantic form nearly 30m tall!
Holy cow!
Sun Wuming finally understood why the Galar region's gyms were built so large.
"Oh? I thought people from Spikemuth didn't use Dynamax. This is quite unexpected."
Facing the Dynamaxed Morpeko, Raihan looked up with a smile and said:
"Don't hold back, come at me!"
Marnie didn't hesitate either, raising her small hand and calling out in a low voice:
"Max Darkness!"
Hearing the name of Marnie's move, Sun Wuming was slightly taken aback.
It was a move he'd never heard of before.
At that moment, he saw massive waves of dark energy surging around Morpeko's body.
The next second, this energy transformed into an overwhelming tsunami of darkness rushing towards Sandaconda.
The visual effects were incredible!
Noticing the confusion in Sun Wuming's eyes, Sonia gracefully explained:
"When Pokémon Dynamax, all their moves become Max Moves. For example, Marnie just used Max Darkness, which is a Dark-type move. There's also Max Flare for Fire-type moves, Max Geyser for Water-type moves, and so on..."
As Sonia was explaining, the dark tsunami released by the Dynamaxed Morpeko had completely engulfed Sandaconda.
Sun Wuming couldn't help but compare this so-called Dynamax to the Mega Evolution from the Kalos region.
As far as he could tell, Dynamax provided an even greater power boost than Mega Evolution.
Marnie's Morpeko was originally only at Gym Leader level, but that single "Max Darkness" was at Elite Four level!
However, unfortunately, even though Dynamax had given Morpeko Elite Four level power,
it still couldn't deal much damage to Sandaconda.
After all, Raihan was Champion-level!
Even though Sandaconda was his weakest Pokémon, it still possessed Elite Four level capabilities.
After Marnie frowned and launched two more Max Darkness attacks, the red glow covering Morpeko dissipated.
It quickly returned to its normal state, just 30cm tall.
Sonia explained again:
"Dynamax energy is limited. After a Pokémon uses three moves, it's forced to return to normal."
Sun Wuming made a "are you kidding me?" expression.
Forced to return after just three moves?
That seemed pretty useless!
Mega Evolution could last until the end of battle.
And after Morpeko returned from its Dynamax form, it had no strategy left to deal with Sandaconda.
It was easily defeated.
Although it was a battle with a huge power gap, some audience members still applauded for Marnie.
After all, her opponent was the second strongest trainer in the Galar League.
This little girl's courage to challenge him was admirable.
...
...
After the challenge match ended, the audience began to leave.
Sun Wuming walked onto the battlefield and advised Marnie:
"Don't rely too much on Dynamax."
He could see that while Dynamax provided a significant level boost to Pokémon, it was easy to become dependent on it.
Sonia knelt down caringly, putting both hands on Marnie's shoulders, "It's okay, just keep trying your best next time."
"Mm..."
Marnie responded, her mouth twitching slightly, but eventually returned to her usual expressionless face.
Hmm... was she trying to smile?
Sun Wuming wondered internally.
"Sonia!?"
At this moment, Raihan, who was also preparing to leave, noticed the situation and walked over with a surprised look, examining the three people standing together.
To be precise, his gaze was focused on Sonia.
After all, he considered Leon his rival, and Sonia was Leon's childhood friend.
Naturally, they had crossed paths before.
"Raihan, it's... it's been a while..."
Sonia didn't know why, but she scratched her face awkwardly as she spoke.
"Ah~ Long time no see..."
Raihan shifted his gaze to Sun Wuming, who was explaining to Marnie the mistakes she made during the battle.
Then he recalled Sonia's gentle expression while comforting Marnie earlier.
The combination of these three people somehow gave him a family-of-three kind of déjà vu.
"Alright, let's go."
Sun Wuming, after giving Marnie some advice, felt this wasn't the place to chat and decided to leave with the two women.
"Mm~"
Sonia nodded and prepared to follow Sun Wuming.
Raihan's expression grew increasingly strange.
As a trainer in his twenties who had reached Champion level, he wasn't exactly naive.
From the way Sonia looked at Sun Wuming, he felt something was off.
Could... could it be that Leon was being cheated on?
"Hey! Um, wait a minute!"
Raihan reflexively raised his hand to stop them without thinking too much.
Seeing the three turn to look at him,
Raihan scratched his head in conflict, but finally steeled his resolve and looked directly at Sun Wuming, saying:
"That battle wasn't very satisfying. Want to go another round?"
Raihan and Leon's relationship was similar to that of Steven and Wallace from Hoenn, these close friends... well, it felt more like the love-hate relationship between Red and Blue.
Although it wasn't his business,
Seeing his best friend potentially being cheated on, Raihan felt he needed to do something.
