It was a very special sensation.
Shiko could keenly sense that this chunk of purple crystal truly contained an extremely powerful energy.
But—
This kind of energy didn't match any attribute energy he currently knew.
It belonged to an unknown energy.
With a thought, he shattered the glass cover outside the crystal and gripped that purple energy crystallization in his hand.
Since it was energy, then maybe it could be absorbed by him—maybe it would have some special effect!
Holding that idea, Shiko tried, through the system, to draw the peculiar energy stored inside the crystal into his body.
It was like…
It really worked!?
He felt a huge amount of energy being extracted from within the crystal, slowly streaming into his body.
Shiko's face instantly lit up with joy.
However—
In the next moment, his expression gradually turned a little solemn.
This energy…
It seemed like it couldn't be activated at all!?
It truly didn't belong to any attribute.
It also didn't react to the evolution factors inside his body.
It even—
Had no effect on physical strength?
Even though it was pure energy, it felt like useless dregs!
What the hell?
Shiko was puzzled.
He hadn't expected this situation at all.
Could it be that the amount of energy he'd absorbed wasn't enough?
He looked at the fist-sized crystal in his hand and guessed.
He kept absorbing.
All the way until he had completely drained every last bit of energy inside the crystal.
The purple crystal turned into a clear, translucent white.
Then, in Shiko's hand, it suddenly shattered into powder.
And it was right at this moment—
The purple energy he'd infused into his body finally reacted.
That energy followed the circulation path of the attribute energy within his body.
In an instant,
it looped around his entire body once.
Immediately after—
Something happened that Shiko had never anticipated.
He felt that, under the driving force of that power,
his muscles and body were continuously swelling and enlarging.
At first,
he thought it was just an illusion.
But when his head
bumped into the warehouse ceiling below,
he realized that his physique
really had grown more than twice its size in a single moment!
This!?
Feeling the massive change in his body, Shiko was abruptly stunned.
But very quickly,
he was already able to guess and analyze what had happened to him.
This was Pokémon Dynamaxing!
That purple energy inside the crystal was the energy source that caused the Dynamax phenomenon!
Good grief!
So Team Dark's research project at this base was actually something like this!
Shiko marveled silently to himself.
The Dynamaxing trend in his body continued.
Shiko had no choice but to bend forward and lower his head,
so that the sharp horn on his head
wouldn't punch through the ceiling above.
Under the influence of Dynamaxing,
he could feel his body overflowing with powerful vitality and vigor.
It was as if his stamina bar had been widened by a full factor of two—so abundant it was.
It felt like a complete rebirth.
His body kept getting larger. Shiko practically had to crouch to steady himself inside this ten-meter-high underground warehouse.
But thankfully,
before long, the trend stopped.
Shiko's physique,
with a few breaths, returned to the original four-meter form.
That Dynamax just now had enlarged his body by nearly three times, and his height had surged to over twelve meters.
But Shiko knew—
the purple energy accumulating inside him had only been stirred by a tiny portion.
Shiko estimated that if the Dynamax energy were fully driven,
then at the very least,
it could make his size more than ten times larger.
If that happened,
a GeoGreymon standing a full forty meters tall
would probably shock everyone out of their minds.
However,
the problem seemed to be that, as he was now,
he simply couldn't activate all of the Dynamax energy.
Shiko felt that it was because, at his current stage,
the evolution factors in his body were scattered and unstable,
creating a bit of repulsion and conflict with that energy.
Maybe—
after evolving into the next stage, WarGreymon,
he would be able to fully activate all of the power of Dynamaxing.
By then,
a WarGreymon dozens of meters tall
would practically have transformed into a "WarGreymon god of war" kind of existence!
"As expected, the most urgent thing is still to evolve…"
Thinking of this, Shiko suppressed his excitement and sighed.
Twenty percent of the Steel-type laws…
He was still a long way from one hundred percent.
Right now, the only hope
was all placed on Mt. Silver—the League's largest mining area.
...….
"What? Dayu was captured?"
On Dragonite's back,
Aisa was still rushing toward Wintergreen Forest.
Halfway through the flight,
she received this information from the Military.
"Yes, that's correct!"
"GeoGreymon has already evolved to Elite Four-level strength, and he used a lightning-fast capture to take down Dayu's three ace Elite Four-level main forces."
The voice on the phone briefly reported the course of events.
Hearing this, Aisa's heart jolted.
Elite Four-level!?
He'd already evolved to Elite Four-level!?
Isn't this way too absurd?
A month ago, after going to Dragon Valley to quell the riot among those Dragon-type Pokémon,
GeoGreymon had indeed already displayed combat power that wasn't inferior to Elite Four-level!
But!
Back then, he was still only a quasi–Elite Four-level Pokémon!
One month—
From quasi–Elite Four-level to stepping into Elite Four-level!
That leveling speed was unbelievably unprecedented!
And—
judging by GeoGreymon's terrifying combat power,
an Elite Four-level him
should be fully capable of fighting Champion-level Pokémon!
My god!
At that thought,
Aisa couldn't help sucking in a sharp breath.
The image of GeoGreymon back when he was a Charmeleon was still vivid in her mind!
Who could have imagined that in such a short time, he'd already gained combat power on par with Champion-level!?
Let alone the entire Great Axia Alliance—
even in the entire era since the Pokémon Epoch began,
you wouldn't see something this outrageous!
Dragonite beneath Aisa clearly heard the content over the phone as well.
Its body trembled unconsciously.
The fear and awe it held toward Shiko in its heart
silently grew even stronger.
"Hurry! Make up time!"
After hanging up, Aisa patted Dragonite's head and urged it.
Dragonite nodded and let out a hiss,
then shot forward at extreme speed like a yellow meteor.
