Motostoke.
A pillar of crimson light shot up from the city, piercing straight into the heavens.
Where the red light struck the sky, the winds and clouds churned violently. The clouds, dyed blood-red, swirled like a massive vortex.
This scene startled everyone.
Across the countless dinsions, powerful figures stared at the red beam in the video. From it, they could sense an incredibly terrifying energy.
It was astonishing.
"This… isn't this the red pillar from our Galar region?"
Professor Magnolia's eyes narrowed. This red light was exactly the sa as the one that caused Pokémon to grow enormous.
"World-destroying red light… it seems the title really is referring to the red pillar in your Galar region."
Professor Oak's expression turned grave.
The titles of these ranking videos were never aningless.
Which ant—
this red light truly had the potential to bring about a world-ending crisis.
As for what that crisis would be—
they weren't fools. They already had so guesses.
Pokémon bathed in this red light would grow gigantic.
They would lose control.
And their strength would skyrocket.
Even Champion-level Pokémon could be defeated by those affected.
Right now, the red pillars only appeared once or twice every couple of months.
That was manageable.
But if the frequency increased—
or worse, if they erupted across the entire Galar region—
if all Pokémon beca gigantic and went berserk…
Images of the ancient era flashed through their minds—
a devastated land, a world beaten into regression.
The entire Galar region would be filled with enormous Pokémon.
At that point—
Galar would be finished.
And if the red light spread beyond Galar—
if it engulfed the entire world—
then the world would return to the ancient age.
Gigantic, violent Pokémon everywhere.
Endless war.
Unending destruction.
Just thinking about that possibility—
sent chills down their spines.
All the Pokémon research professors wore troubled expressions.
Why did their world seem to constantly be on the brink of destruction?
Before they knew about these divine beasts—
before Rin Aokawa's ranking videos—
their lives had been so carefree.
"But for now, there's no need to panic," Professor Oak said.
"This is a future that hasn't happened yet."
"The red pillars have only just begun appearing in Galar."
"If we carefully watch the video and understand what's happening, we might be able to prevent this future!"
Everyone nodded.
That was true.
This was the future.
And since it hadn't happened yet—
it could still be changed.
Just like how they now knew that Giovanni would use w's eyelash to clone wtwo.
If they intercepted w's eyelash in advance—
or captured Giovanni—
then wtwo might never be created.
The future could be altered.
With renewed determination, all the regional Pokémon Professors focused intently on the screen.
They didn't dare miss a single detail.
The video continued.
The crimson pillar pierced the heavens as the vortex above churned violently.
The cara suddenly dropped downward.
It focused on a massive structure—
resembling a stadium.
"Is… is that a battle arena?"
Soone exclaid in surprise.
It was clear that the center was divided into a battle field.
The surrounding stands were packed with spectators.
They were cheering loudly.
The electrifying atmosphere stunned everyone.
Wasn't this supposed to be a world-ending crisis?
"Leon?? Isn't that Leon?!"
In the Pokémon world chat, soone cried out in shock.
Leon appeared on the screen.
Or rather—
he was one of the battling Trainers.
He was fighting in a match.
Leon—
the Champion of the Galar region.
"Eh? That's ?!"
Leon himself was stunned.
Above the stadium, banners carried by hot air balloons floated in the sky.
[Galar Champion Cup]
So that was it.
Soone in the future was challenging Leon for his title.
"The red light—it's coming from your Charizard!!"
Cynthia suddenly spoke.
Leon's ace Pokémon—
was Charizard.
On the screen, beneath Charizard's feet, a crimson beam erupted from the ground, piercing into the sky.
"This is bad… that's Leon's Charizard!"
Professor Magnolia's expression changed drastically.
Leon was the strongest Champion in Galar's history.
His Charizard had surpassed even his own limits.
It was the strongest Charizard in the world.
If sothing of that level—
was affected by the red light—
grew gigantic—
and went berserk—
then Motostoke would be dood.
No one could stop it.
Even with a five-minute limit—
five minutes would be enough to destroy most of the city.
Not just Magnolia—
even Leon's own face changed.
As Galar's Champion, he was already aware of the red pillar phenonon.
He had even fought against a Dynamax Pokémon himself.
He knew how terrifying they were.
If his Charizard beca one—
and lost control—
there would be no stopping it.
But then—
Leon frowned.
On the screen, his future self, upon seeing the red light erupt—
was smiling.
Excited.
He froze.
That didn't make sense.
This was the future.
If even his current self already understood the danger—
then his future self should know it even better.
So why…
was he excited?
Leon looked toward the audience in the stadium.
When the red pillar erupted—
instead of panicking—
the crowd beca even more excited.
Their cheers intensified, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
"Charizard—Gigantamax!!"
Leon's voice rang out.
Bathed in red light, Charizard let out a roar.
Under everyone's shocked gaze—
its body expanded rapidly—
reaching nearly a hundred ters in size.
But—
this wasn't just simple enlargent.
Its form changed as well.
Its wings disappeared—
replaced by massive wings ford entirely of blazing orange-red flas, distorting the air with their heat.
A ring of fire wrapped around its neck.
Flas burned at the tips of its ears.
Its entire appearance underwent a dramatic transformation.
The colossal Charizard stood within the battlefield—
its body stretching into the clouds—
beneath the red vortex in the sky.
This scene stunned every Trainer in the Pokémon world.
Until now, only Galar's high-ranking officials and Pokémon Professors knew about the red pillar phenonon.
Ordinary Trainers had no idea.
"What… what is going on?! Why did the red light make Charizard bigger?!"
"Damn—that's so cool!!"
"How is this done?! From Leon's expression, it feels like he knew this would happen!"
Fire-type Trainers trembled with excitent.
It was too cool.
Majestic.
Overbearing.
Incredibly stylish.
Faced with the flood of questions—
Leon himself was confused.
He looked at the Charizard beside him.
Since when did it have such an aweso form?
In subspace—
Palkia and Dialga watched the scene.
They were equally puzzled.
Why did the red light cause Pokémon to grow larger?
They rarely appeared in the main world and spent most of their ti sleeping.
They only knew that Pokémon had lost their gigantic forms due to changes in the world's laws.
As for why the red pillars could reverse that—
they didn't know.
But—
they felt sothing.
That red light…
made them uncomfortable.
It seed familiar—
yet they couldn't quite place it.
Across the ani dinsions—
"That's amazing! That's amazing! That Charizard is so cool! Is it from the sa species as Igneel?!" Natsu's eyes sparkled.
"Everyone, look! This is the coolness of Fire Dragons! See how aweso my Fire Dragon Slayer Magic is?!"
"Enough. That's a dragon from another world—don't flatter yourself."
"Man… that's even cooler than my phoenix form," Marco muttered.
"The form changed… and the power increased dramatically… what exactly is that red light?"
Aizen fell into deep thought.
It wasn't just size—
the internal energy had also multiplied several tis.
On the screen—
the audience erupted in cheers.
"Gigantamax!! That's Champion Leon's Gigantamax!!"
"So this is it! Stronger than Dynamax!!"
"So cool!!"
Everyone caught two key terms—
—Gigantamax
—Dynamax
Leon's opponent used a Blastoise.
The challenger had co prepared.
Water-type against Fire-type.
A direct counter.
Seeing Gigantamax Charizard—
his expression turned serious.
He raised his right arm.
On his wrist was a band, embedded with a gem.
"Let's do it too—Blastoise, Dynamax!!"
The gem glowed faintly red.
Boom!!
A crimson beam erupted beneath Blastoise.
Its body expanded rapidly—
reaching over seventy ters.
But unlike Charizard—
its form didn't change.
It simply grew larger.
Boom boom boom—!!
The two massive Pokémon clashed within the enormous battlefield.
Now everyone understood—
why the arena had been built so large.
Blastoise's cannons gathered dazzling energy.
A massive water column over thirty ters wide shot toward Charizard.
"ROAR!!"
Charizard roared.
Flas surged violently.
Its fiery wings expanded, covering the sky.
Endless flas poured forth, condensing into a molten-like mass—
forming a gigantic flaming bird.
Boom—!!
The attacks collided.
In the end—
Charizard defeated Blastoise—
even with a type disadvantage.
Boom boom boom—!
Fireworks exploded above the arena, raining golden light.
Leon had defended his title.
As the battle ended—
Charizard returned to its normal size.
But the audience remained imrsed in shock.
What move had Charizard used?
What about Blastoise?
They had never seen anything like it.
The scene shifted again.
More images appeared—
all showing Trainers wearing special wristbands.
Under red light—
their Pokémon grew enormous.
They commanded these gigantic Pokémon in battle.
All Trainers in the Pokémon world were stunned.
Leon's case wasn't unique.
This was clearly the Galar region.
In the future—
Trainers in Galar could freely use this power?
That was insane.
[The Galar region contains a special type of energy capable of enlarging Pokémon.]
[These red pillars erge randomly from underground. Any Pokémon within their range will undergo rapid gigantification.]
[These red pillars are known as Power Spots.]
[The phenonon of Pokémon growing in size is called Dynamax. It lasts for five minutes.]
[In the Dynamax state, a Pokémon's size and strength increase drastically.]
[Initially, these uncontrolled energy surges caused wild Pokémon to Dynamax and rampage, creating major problems for Galar.]
The scene showed wild Pokémon rampaging after being affected.
[The unpredictability of Power Spots caused great trouble for Galar.]
[Later, it was discovered that a teorite known as Wishing Star could trigger this phenonon.]
[These were embedded into wristbands to create Dynamax Bands.]
[Trainers wearing these bands could control the phenonon, allowing their Pokémon to Dynamax.]
[Dynamaxed Pokémon can use Max Moves, with one corresponding to each type.]
[Beyond Dynamax, there exists a higher form—]
[—Gigantamax]
[Gigantamax is a rare special form of Dynamax. Only a few Pokémon can achieve it.]
[Gigantamax Pokémon have even larger bodies and greater power.]
Everyone nodded.
That was true.
Charizard had clearly been larger than Blastoise.
[In addition to Max Moves, Gigantamax Pokémon possess exclusive G-Max Moves.]
Everyone imdiately thought back to that battle.
Charizard's finishing move—
must have been a G-Max Move.
While Blastoise had used a Max Move.
Dynamax… Gigantamax…
Max Moves… G-Max Moves…
These terms ignited excitent in every Trainer's heart.
But soon—
they were doused with cold water.
Because—
this phenonon only existed in the Galar region.
In other regions—
even with Wishing Stars—
Power Spots would not appear.
Galar Trainers were ecstatic.
Everyone else could only watch with envy.
"So that's it… the red light isn't dangerous. Looks like Galar is about to prosper," Professor Birch said.
"After this, I'll imdiately send people to search for Wishing Stars," Magnolia replied.
"Let study them as well. I'm very curious about this phenonon."
"But…"
Professor Oak frowned.
"If these aren't the world-destroying red lights…"
"Then what exactly is the 'world-destroying red light' ntioned in the title?"
That's right.
They had almost forgotten.
This was a ranking of divine beasts.
So far—
no divine beast had appeared.
If Dynamax wasn't the threat—
then what was?
Just as confusion filled their minds—
the narration continued.
[As Galar continued its research, they uncovered the nature of this energy.]
[The reason Power Spots can enlarge Pokémon is due to a form of energy known as Galar Particles.]
[These particles contain imnse power and are extrely pure—usable as energy without conversion, with zero pollution.]
[As long as they can be extracted, they can serve as a limitless energy source.]
[Beneath the Galar region lies an inexhaustible supply of Galar Particles.]
Hiss—!
Everyone inhaled sharply.
A limitless, clean energy source—
without extraction costs?
That ant—
Galar was about to enter a new era.
[Thus, people began collecting Wishing Stars, triggering Power Spots, and extracting Galar Particles.]
The scene shifted to a research facility.
At its center stood massive spherical containers.
Thick pipes extended into the ground, each connected to a Wishing Star.
The machines continuously activated Power Spots—
extracting and storing energy.
All of it was funneled into an even larger core.
Atop the facility—
a massive sphere over a hundred ters wide stood.
"Hahaha! With this, Galar will never have to worry about energy depletion again!"
A man appeared on screen.
Everyone recognized him instantly—
Chairman Rose.
"So it was him…"
"This was all his doing…"
In Galar—
cheers erupted.
"Chairman Rose solved the energy crisis!"
"Infinite energy! Galar is going to rise!!"
At the League headquarters—
Rose laughed.
"Just as I thought. This red energy is incredibly powerful. If we can harness it, we'll never have to worry about energy again."
But—
in Kanto—
Professor Oak stared at the scene.
For so reason—
he felt a deep sense of unease.
And then—
the narration spoke again.
[As Galar continued extracting energy from Power Spots…]
[they did not realize that this energy…]
[was rely the overflow of a slumbering being.]
[Due to their unrestrained extraction—]
[a terrifying existence—]
[Eternatus…]
[has awakened!]
