"Good man, it turns out that we can't underestimate any Pokémon, especially these powerful Pokémon individually." Su Yi's face was serious, and he no longer had the ease he had when he made the assurance to Chansey at the beginning.
Obviously, neither Saucy Bird nor Su Yi had any practical experience in Pokémon battles, which made Su Yi feel a little pressured in his first official Pokémon battle.
"Since you don't have any experience, just put aside the strategies and on-the-spot responses and just rush in! Scratch the bird! Rock Strike!" Su Yi patted his cheek, threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, and shouted loudly.
"Ga!" The scratching bird screamed in response to Su Yi's attack command, and at the same time, its claws quickly dug the ground. Deep yellow energy gathered from the ground to its claws and condensed into an energy rock.
The scratching bird leaped high up, holding the energy stone and smashing it head-on, but the Centipede King hummed softly and dodged quickly.
"So fast! Faster than the beginning. Is it a hidden characteristic that accelerates it?!" Su Yi was surprised at the speed of the Centipede King.
"Then throw the rock out!" Su Yi suddenly had an idea.
The scratching bird missed the first attack, but upon hearing the command, it immediately and skillfully threw the energy rock in its hand with all its might. The Centipede King, who had just dodged the attack, was hit hard by the hard rock before he could stand firm. The rock system restrains the insect system, and this attack caused huge damage.
The Centipede King growled in pain and straightened up his body, his eyes becoming even more ferocious.
"One more time, scratch the bird, hit the rock hard!"
Seeing that the Scratching Bird was about to launch the threatening attack again, the Centipede King roared: "Gu! Ga!"
Suddenly, the ground cracked open, and a deep red light shone through the cracks. Then, the Centipede King's body was wrapped in red light and grew larger. The sky turned dark red, and several red clouds surrounded the Centipede King's head.
"Gigantamax?! Is it really Galar?!"
The body length of the Scratching Bird is between eight and eleven meters, but it does not feel that long when hunting. I guess the body length data is measured by straightening the head and tail of the Scratching Bird. The slender neck and tail of the Scratching Bird account for most of the length. For example, the body of the Fire Dragon is quite straight from head to tail, so its data is not obviously different from what it actually looks like.

Chapter 13: Encountering the Champion? Gigantamax!
To put it simply, Dynamaxing means that Pokémon will become huge in size within a certain period of time, and the moves they use will also become Dynamax moves. Some special Pokémon also have exclusive Dynamaxing and obtain exclusive Dynamax moves.
This phenomenon can only occur in areas of Galar with extremely huge energy. In other words, this is a combat system exclusive to the Galar region.
Seeing the Centipede King grow to its maximum size also made Su Yi completely confirm that the area he was currently in was Galar.
"Wow?!" Seeing that the opponent in front of him suddenly became huge, Sao Niao was suddenly a little panicked.
"What kind of meow is that? It suddenly becomes bigger than a large monster!" Lu Cao looked up, stunned.
"Gigantamaxing is a common phenomenon in games, but when it becomes a reality and I witness it with my own eyes, it's really shocking."
The huge centipede king under the dim sky made Su Yi feel extremely oppressive. Excluding those super-large ancient dragons, there were only a few large monsters in the monster world that could match this size.
"Should we fight or retreat?" Su Yi was a little unsure.
The duration of Dynamaxing is actually not very long, but the Dynamaxing Pokémon's Dynamaxing moves are basically impossible to dodge, because those moves are overwhelming once they are launched, so you can usually only take them head-on.
The best thing to do now is to retreat, delay the time for it to Dynamite, and then return to defeat it.
However, this was the first battle of the scratching bird, and just like the first battle of the great ferocious jackal dragon, Su Yi's command was able to establish initial trust with it, which would allow him to better command these originally wild monsters in the future.
But running away in the first battle would inevitably make the accompanying beasts feel a little resentful.
"But compared to the momentary momentum, it is more important to prevent the companion beasts from getting hurt in vain. After all, failure will also disappoint the companion beasts."
Su Yi took out the capturing ball and aimed it at the bird.
"Scratch the bird, we"
Just as Su Yi was about to shout to retreat, a clear voice came from the sky.
"It's a Pokémon I've never seen before. What's wrong? Can't it be Gigantamaxed?"
Su Yi looked suddenly in the direction of the sound.
I saw a strong fire-breathing dragon flying in the air, and on its back, a dark-skinned, purple-haired man was looking at Su Yi with a smile.
"That's Dantei! Galar's strongest champion and one of the eight masters of the Pokémon World Championship!" Su Yi was extremely surprised. Finally, he met a living person in the Pokémon world, and the first person he met was even more of a heavyweight!
"It would be a shame to end this wonderful battle hastily just because we can't Dynamax. Go on!"
Looking at Su Yi with a surprised expression, Dan Di took off his giant wristband and threw it over.
"Thank you!" Su Yi came back to his senses, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to raise the catapult, fired out his flying claws to grab the giant wristband and quickly hooked it into his hand.
"Oh? Is there such interesting equipment?" Dan Di was quite interested in the catapult in Su Yi's left hand.
"This is the Gigantamax Wristband." Su Yi put it on quickly. This is the key item used by trainers to Gigantamax Pokémon.
"Will it be able to Gigantamax, trainer?" asked Dantei loudly.
In response to Dan Emperor, Su Yi raised his thumb.
"I've long wanted to try this kind of battle myself!"
"Scratching bird, are you ready to grow bigger?" Su Yi grinned.
"Gah!" the bird responded expectantly.
"The battle continues!" Su Yi used the ball to take back the scratching bird and held the capture ball in his hand. Then, several dark red energies were released from the giant wristband and injected into the ball. Suddenly, the capture ball in Su Yi's hand continued to grow larger and shone with red and white light.
"Let's go! Let's start our first gigantic battle!" Su Yi threw out the huge capture ball with all his might.
Bang! The Scratching Bird, covered in dark red energy, leaped out of the capture ball and continued to grow until it was about the same size as the Gigantamax Centipede King.
Gah!
The birds chirped in curiosity and excitement.
"The bird has grown bigger too, meow!" Lu Cao danced with joy.
Gigantamaxed bird?
The battle-hardened king, Saotori, makes his grand appearance!
Guga! When the Centipede King saw that the Scratching Bird had also grown to gigantic size, he took the lead in attacking.
Extreme acid poison!
The earth trembled, and a dark purple poisonous stream burst out from the ground. The torrent of poisonous energy formed a vortex that swept over the Scratching Bird. At the same time, with the help of the Extreme Move, the Centipede King's special attack increased.
The scratching bird was constantly bumped around in the poisonous vortex, its hands and feet staggered, and its skin was corroded by the acid, leaving scars.
"Fight back fiercely, scratch the bird, and use the huge rock!" Su Yi shouted loudly.
Gah! The scratching bird shook its head, getting rid of the strong discomfort brought by the extremely strong acid poison, and slammed the ground with its sharp claws, then lifted a huge rock slab from the ground and smashed it towards the centipede king.
With a loud bang, the rock slabs collapsed like a building, pressing down on the Centipede King. Rocks flew everywhere and a sandstorm rolled up in the sky.
Outstanding effect!
The Centipede King swayed his body and cried out in pain.
Its eyes revealed reluctance, and it chirped like an insect. A bright yellow light bloomed around its body. Countless insect-attribute energy butterflies condensed and swarmed towards the scratching bird like flying snow.
Su Yi's eyes moved, and he gave another loud order, "Scratching bird, use the Ultra Flying Dash to blow the insects back!"
"Gah!" The scratching bird responded loudly, waving its claws, and the air swept through, the wind spiraled, and the flying energy formed a huge tornado to meet the giant insect.
"Oh? That's a good idea. Can it succeed?" Dan Di, who was sitting behind Charizard watching the battle, brightened his eyes and showed an expectant smile after hearing Su Yi's tactics.
Boom boom boom!
The wind was surging, insects were chirping, and the two energies were confronting each other and colliding violently.
Guga! The Centipede King was at a disadvantage in terms of physical strength, so he was the first to show signs of weakness.
"Go! Go for it! Do it with all your might!" Su Yi clenched his fist and encouraged loudly.
"Ga!" The scratching bird gathered its strength and used all its power. The storm of the giant flying charge surged again, suppressing, destroying and blowing away the giant insect poison.
Bang, bang, bang! The Centipede King was hit by all the Dynamax Flying Charges that were carrying the remaining Dynamax Insect Gu. Eventually, the Dynamax energy dissipated, and the Centipede King shrank smaller and smaller while wailing, and fell down.
The battle was over, the finch returned to its original size, the dark red sky faded away, and the sky and the earth returned to their original colors.
"I won, meow!" Lucao shouted happily.
"We won! Well done! Scratching Bird!" Su Yi rushed forward, hugged Scratching Bird's neck, and praised him generously.
The toad hugged Su Yi with its claws and cried happily. This battle made it experience the joy of fighting, and it also began to initially accept Su Yi's identity as a trainer.
"I'll leave the future battles to you." Su Yi clenched his fist and stretched out his hand.
Wow? The bird tilted its head for a moment, then happily raised its front paws and bumped fists with Su Yi.
"It's really great, the friendship between you." The Charizard slowly landed, and Dandi jumped off its back, clapping softly.
Su Yi took off the Gigantamax wristband and handed it over, "I was able to successfully defeat the Gigantamax Centipede King and build trust with my companions, thanks to the help of Mr. Dandi."
Dandi put on the Gigantamax wristband again and said with a smile: "It's just the icing on the cake. I'm also very happy to see such an interesting battle."

Chapter 14: The Lost Champion, Armor Island, Martial Arts School
Looking at the Centipede King lying on the ground and losing his ability to fight, Su Yi was a little conflicted. Should he tame it?
The main reason was that he wasn't very interested in the Pokémon Centipede, and his capture ball was quite valuable right now.
"What? You don't want to tame it?" Dan Emperor came over and asked.
"Actually, I didn't fight to subdue it, but because of the Jigglypuff." Su Yi explained the reason for fighting the Centipede King.
"Defeat the evil Centipede King so that Chandler can travel safely?" Dan Di said with a knowing smile.
"But I really don't want to capture it, and if I capture it, I will have to be responsible for the Pokémon." Su Yi said, and took out the precious capture ball.
"Well, let's subdue it, so that the Centipede King won't continue to do evil." Su Yi threw out the capture ball and subdued it.
At this time, the Pokémon that had been bullied by the Centipede King cheered happily when they saw that the Centipede King had been subdued.
All the Pokémon came over and surrounded Scratching Bird and Su Yi.
"Ga? Wow?" The Scratching Bird was suddenly surrounded by a group of little guys. It was a little at a loss for a moment. A Pichu even climbed onto the back of the Scratching Bird and interacted with it happily.
"Everyone is so enthusiastic." Su Yi was surrounded by a group of little cuties and felt a little at a loss.
"It seems they are very grateful to you." Dan Di watched the scene with a smile.
Seeing how enthusiastic these Pokémon were, Su Yi let go and reached out to slowly touch these real and lovely lives.
"This is Pikachu's cheek, soft. Uh! It's a little numb, sorry." Su Yi curiously stroked the cheek of a Pikachu. Suddenly, two red dots flashed on the Pikachu's cheeks, scaring Su Yi so much that he quickly withdrew his hand and apologized. The Pikachu smiled nonchalantly and took the initiative to let Su Yi touch its head.
