Through the chat group, Yang Tao once again stood in front of Ash.
Seeing the excitement on Ash's face, Yang Tao smiled.
"Ash, let's go right away!"
He summoned Charizard.
"Wow! A black Charizard! It's huge!" Ash's eyes sparkled as he stared at the shiny Charizard.
Charizard lifted its head proudly, completely ignoring the kid in front of it.
"Come on! Get on, Ash! Let's move!" Yang Tao had already climbed onto Charizard's back and reached out to pull Ash up.
Once they were both seated, Charizard flapped its massive wings and soared into the sky.
Ash took out his Pokédex and used its navigation system to guide Charizard toward the Galar region.
Ash's timeline worked much better than Conan's world—every time Ash reached a certain point, his journey would reset, and he'd start a new adventure all over again.
It looked like they had already figured out how to make the Dynamax Band.
Charizard was incredibly fast, and after flying for most of the day, they finally reached the Galar region.
Before long, the two of them arrived at Professor Magnolia's research lab.
Yang Tao pushed open the door and stepped inside, looking around at the busy researchers working on who-knows-what.
Just then, a beautiful researcher noticed Yang Tao and walked over.
"Hello, this is Professor Magnolia's lab. How can I help you?"
Yang Tao, seeing the young and pretty researcher, politely replied, "Hello, my name is Yang Tao. I'm here to see Professor Magnolia. Is she available?"
The researcher smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, sir. Do you have an appointment? Professor Magnolia is currently conducting an experiment. If you don't have an appointment, you won't be able to meet her."
Yang Tao froze awkwardly. After arriving in this world, he and Ash had flown straight here. He hadn't made any appointment at all.
"Then can you at least give this to her? It's something related to Dynamax."
As he spoke, Yang Tao pulled out a Dynamax Candy and handed it over.
The researcher took the candy without any particular reaction since the Pokémon world had all sorts of strange candies.
"Alright, I'll pass it along to the professor, but whether she chooses to see you or not, I can't say."
"No problem. If she won't see me, I'll just make an appointment and come back next time. Thanks for your help."
Watching the researcher walk inside, Yang Tao and Ash found a place to sit and wait.
Ash turned to Yang Tao.
"Leader, what if Professor Magnolia doesn't come out to see you?"
"As long as she studies that candy, she'll definitely come see me. Unless she doesn't research it at all!"
Yang Tao spoke with complete confidence.
Not long after, a figure quickly approached, leaning on a cane—it was Professor Magnolia herself.
She got straight to the point.
"Who here is Yang Tao?"
Yang Tao stood up and looked at her.
"That would be me!"
Professor Magnolia's face was filled with excitement.
"Where did you get this candy? It contains an incredible amount of Galar Particles!"
"Professor, don't get too excited just yet! Take a look at this too—it'll be helpful for your research!"
Yang Tao pulled out a Max Mushroom and handed it to her.
The professor took the mushroom and examined it closely.
"Could this be the key ingredient for making the candy?"
Seeing something that hadn't appeared in the anime before, Professor Magnolia was completely intrigued.
Yang Tao took the opportunity to explain why he had come.
"Professor Magnolia, I came here hoping to get a Dynamax Band. Would you be willing to give me one?"
For the professor, the Dynamax Band wasn't exactly classified technology—even her granddaughter could make one.
"Of course! Lillian, go fetch a Dynamax Band."
Professor Magnolia instructed the same researcher who had greeted Yang Tao earlier.
Before long, Lillian returned and handed a Dynamax Band to Yang Tao.
Yang Tao eagerly took it, unable to wait any longer.
"Finally! Now I can Dynamax! Professor Magnolia, sorry, but I have something else to do. We can talk another time!"
Now that he had what he came for, Yang Tao left the lab with Ash.
"Come on, Ash, let me show you Charizard's Gigantamax form!"
They found a huge open space, and Yang Tao released Charizard. Equipping the Dynamax Band, he saw that the Gigantamax option had been activated. Without hesitation, he selected it.
In an instant, his shiny Charizard began growing rapidly. Its wings transformed into golden flames, and its white belly was now marked with golden patterns.
Ash fell straight to the ground in shock.
The two of them weren't even as big as one of Charizard's toes!
"Leader! It's so huge! This is amazing!"
Yang Tao looked up at his awe-inspiring shiny Charizard and turned to Ash.
"Alright, let's get you back. When you travel here in the future and get your own Dynamax Band, I'll give you a Charizard like this!"
"Really?! Leader, I want one too!"
