Over the plane's announcement system, Cole continued his explanation:
"The Crown Tundra expedition will last fourteen days."
"For the first seven days, except for the 'Divine Sanctuary,' you may move freely throughout Crown Tundra. Please stay within your capabilities, avoid the light beams from energy points, and don't engage in battles with wild Dynamax Pokemon unless you possess sufficient strength."
"If you encounter any situation you cannot handle, immediately press the emergency device we've distributed."
The Divine Sanctuary referred to the territory of several noble Legendary Pokemon. Like the World Tree's main body in the World Tree Spiritual Realm, humans were naturally forbidden from entering. This represented an agreement reached between the Alliance and Legendary Pokemon.
No one objected to this restriction. Legendary Pokemon remained far beyond everyone's reach.
The trope of "revealing overwhelming aura and making Legendary Pokemon surrender one after another" had been extremely popular in web novels over ten years ago, and everyone loved reading such stories.
Then the country banned that genre entirely.
The official reason was "disrespect toward the gods."
According to rumors, a certain Legendary Pokemon who enjoyed reading online fiction felt physically uncomfortable with such plots, so the Alliance banned this subject matter globally to demonstrate their cooperation.
When Roy first heard this news, he called it magical realism. He was somewhat curious about which Legendary Pokemon was this web fiction fan. Mew's personality seemed most likely, but Mew had only arrived recently.
"For the following seven days, we will conduct Dynamax activities."
"All of your Pokemon will have a 'Dynamax' experience."
"After Pokemon undergo Dynamax, their vitality and energy intensity increase several times, allowing Pokemon who haven't yet broken through racial limits to experience professional-level power in advance. Researchers have also proven that Dynamax can provide momentum during accumulation periods."
"Please take full advantage of this opportunity."
"The above constitutes the complete description of this Crown Tundra expedition."
The reason Crown Tundra was so attractive—that Elite trainers from other countries even came to China as "foreign aid" to compete for that slim chance—was precisely because of the "Dynamax" activities that would be conducted later.
Opportunities that could promote the "accumulation period" were practically everyone's dream.
"Strange," Philip looked puzzled and wondered aloud, "Don't Pokemon become violent after Dynamax? Could Pokemon raised by humans be immune?"
"How is that possible?" Elon smiled and replied, "Dynamax is uncontrollable. Even Champion and Elite Pokemon cannot resist the violent will contained in Dynamax energy. The Alliance has been studying how to make Dynamax Pokemon retain their sanity."
"Champion Pokemon can't handle it either?" Anya heard this for the first time and looked surprised. "Is Dynamax energy really that high-level?"
"Indeed," Elon nodded. "The Alliance speculates that the special energy causing Dynamax originates from an extremely powerful god."
Roy, the only one who knew the truth, remained silent.
The source of Dynamax energy was Eternatus—of course the level would be incredibly high.
If Arceus, who created the Pokemon planet, was the supreme god of this world, and Necrozma, the source of Totem aura, was the supreme god from another world, then Eternatus was the Supreme God from another planet entirely.
As far as Roy knew, in ancient times, Eternatus had fallen to the Pokemon planet in meteorite form, then was defeated by two first-tier gods symbolizing "sword" and "shield."
Two first-tier gods defeating Eternatus might seem to indicate inferior qualifications, but another ancient legend had to be considered here.
In order to protect the Pokemon planet, Arceus had endured a massive meteorite impact and collapsed from exhaustion. The life source scattered from Arceus's body fell in all directions, and Arceus eventually healed with human assistance.
It seemed unreasonable for the supreme god who created a planet to fall due to a mere meteorite—unless that wasn't an ordinary meteorite at all.
Rather, it was a supreme visitor from another planet, equivalent in power to Arceus himself.
Arceus was seriously injured but had people to help. Eternatus, the alien visitor, wasn't so fortunate. Seriously wounded and unable to receive aid, it was directly defeated by the two first-tier gods representing 'Sword' and 'Shield,' and sealed underground. Subsequently, Eternatus's power leaked out, becoming the source of the Dynamax phenomenon.
Dynamax energy contained Eternatus's violent will. Therefore, Pokemon that directly absorbed Dynamax energy would fall into berserk states.
"Since it causes berserking, why are we making our Pokemon undergo Dynamax? Aren't you worried about problems?"
Philip looked puzzled. Caring about one's own Pokemon was every trainer's basic quality—he had to ask clearly.
Roy suddenly interjected, "As long as Dynamax energy is exhausted, Pokemon can return to normal without any side effects. Simply put, the Dynamax activity involves letting your Pokemon experience some Dynamax power, then beating them up until they revert to normal size."
Elon and Anya responded, "Ah, well..."
The meaning was correct, but when those words came from Roy's mouth, they sounded remarkably blunt.
Philip breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "If it's just getting beaten up, that's fine."
Patrick nodded, "Small problem."
Not far away, Henry smiled and said, "If they can experience Dynamax after getting beaten, I'd rather have them beaten every day."
"Hahaha!"
"That makes perfect sense!"
The trainers on the plane burst into cheerful, hearty laughter.
Inside their Poke Balls, Pokemon who had been monitoring outside movements and preparing to emerge and protect their trainers if anything went wrong suddenly fell silent.
We might not be human, but when it comes to being heartless, you trainers take the prize. After all, our trust was misplaced.
Five hours later, the plane landed punctually at Crown Tundra Airport.
Though it was only late evening, through the aircraft window Roy could see the darkened sky and vast snowfield with continuously falling powder snow.
Retrieving his winter jacket from his backpack, Roy put it on and immediately felt warmth spread through his body. The cold-weather clothing was made from thermal materials like synthetic cotton and nylon, reportedly with added Piloswine and Beartic fur for warmth, providing ultimate protection even in severely cold areas.
After disembarking, howling cold wind struck his face, reminding Roy of his experiences in the White Mountain region. However, a phenomenon existed here that didn't occur in the White Mountain area.
"Dynamax energy points..."
Roy murmured, his eyes reflecting crimson beams of light rising toward the sky.
Dynamax was uncontrollable, and every Dynamax transformation depended on energy points. This had resulted in Earth's trainers being unable to control this energy even today, only using it as an opportunity.
This method of utilization was undoubtedly superficial and simplistic.
But Roy was different.
He rolled up his left sleeve slightly, revealing a white wristband inset with special crystals that had appeared at some point on his wrist.
This was the key item for using controllable Dynamax—the Dynamax Band.
