154: Section 154

“It’s possible that it’s not just Snorlax, but other Pokémon will also be affected.”

“It shouldn’t be that serious, right?”

“It’s hard to say. While other Pokémon aren’t as gluttonous as Snorlax, some Pokémon do have quite an appetite.”

After hearing Zhang Yu’s introduction of Snorlax, the Water Friends, who had initially not thought much of Snorlax’s situation, immediately widened their eyes in surprise.

Goodness, Snorlax’s appetite is truly terrifying, isn’t it?

At this moment, they directly experienced what a Super Eater was. This was truly not something those so-called great eaters could compare to; the two were completely on different levels.

However, Snorlax’s eating habits also caused many people to directly give up on the idea of catching a Snorlax. There was no way; they truly couldn’t afford Snorlax’s terrifying appetite.

This made many people feel very regretful.

After all, to be honest, aside from its overly terrifying appetite, Snorlax was quite good in other aspects. As long as it was fed, its personality would be very pleasant.

And it was obvious that Snorlax’s strength would absolutely not be weak, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been able to find so much food.

Because Snorlax was sleeping, Zhang Yu prepared to leave after introducing Snorlax.

“Hmm?”

But just as he had walked a few steps, the corner of his eye suddenly noticed a few red light spots appearing around him, and these red light spots were gathering behind him.

After thinking of a certain possibility, Zhang Yu immediately looked towards Snorlax’s location. As he expected, he saw that those red light spots had gathered on Snorlax’s body and were gradually being absorbed into it.

“Could this be that?”

“I hadn’t seen it before, I almost forgot about the Galar region’s specialty…”

After his guess was confirmed, Zhang Yu immediately retreated with his Pokémon, clearing enough space for Snorlax.

If he hadn’t guessed wrong, something big was about to happen.

It was fortunate that Zhang Yu’s reaction speed was quick enough, otherwise, they might encounter some minor trouble later.

Because almost at the same time Zhang Yu and the others retreated, Snorlax had already absorbed all the red energy into its body, causing a circle of red light to burst out from beneath it.

In the blink of an eye, this circle of red light contracted several times inward, transforming into a red pillar of light that shot up from Snorlax’s body, disappearing into the clouds in the sky.

With the appearance of this red pillar of light, the already dim sky suddenly became even darker, and even the clouds above were tinged with red.

What was even more concerning was that the pillar of light, instead of disappearing after entering the clouds, continued to expand, and as it expanded, Snorlax’s body also continued to swell.

In just a moment, Snorlax transformed from its original large, chubby self into a giant that, even lying on the ground, was dozens of meters high. Or, perhaps, at this point, it could be called a small mountain?

Because on Snorlax’s originally empty belly, after it transformed into its current appearance, an ecosystem actually appeared!

Not only were there flowers, grasses, and trees of all kinds on it, but in the very center of Snorlax’s belly, a large tree, dozens of meters tall, had grown.

“Tsk, it really is Gigantamax.”

Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but click his tongue, feeling fortunate for his foresight.

Otherwise, if they were accidentally crushed by Snorlax’s enormous body, that wouldn’t be fun.

“What… what the hell is this? How did Snorlax suddenly become so big?”

“Can Pokémon actually get this big? This is a bit too incredible, isn’t it?”

“You ask me, who should I ask?”

“I don’t know if you noticed, but before Snorlax got bigger, some red light spots appeared around it. Snorlax seems to have started growing after absorbing those things.”

“Exactly! Snorlax not only absorbed those red light spots, but its body also burst out with the exact same red light!”

“It seems that the reason Snorlax became so large must be related to those strange red light spots.”

“So, does that mysterious red light spot have the ability to make Pokémon bigger? I just don’t know if the Pokémon’s strength has also changed.”

“Maybe it’s not just Pokémon; humans can get bigger too?”

“What’s the use of a human getting bigger? To be a target? And what if only your body gets bigger, but your clothes don’t? That would be hilarious.”

“No, that light spot is definitely not just about getting bigger! After all, you also saw that not only did many flowers and grasses appear on Snorlax’s belly, but such a large tree also grew. This cannot be described simply as getting bigger.”

“Exactly, and those flowers, grasses, and trees didn’t appear out of thin air, but grew on Snorlax’s belly at an extremely fast rate!”

“It can only be said that making a Pokémon’s body size larger is just one of the light spot’s abilities. As for what’s going on with those flowers, grasses, and trees, that’s completely unknown.”

“We’ll have to ask Anchor; judging by his appearance, he clearly knows something.”

“That’s right! When Snorlax first showed abnormalities, Anchor took countermeasures. He clearly knows something!”

“Anchor, Anchor, quickly tell us what’s going on with Snorlax!”

Upon witnessing Snorlax’s sudden and immense transformation, the Water Friends in the live stream immediately opened their mouths in extreme surprise and were unable to close them for a long time.

Once they regained their senses, they immediately began to frantically send out bullet comments, wanting to vent their emotions.

Chapter 192: Gigantamax (Requesting custom subscription)

They truly hadn’t expected to witness such a shocking scene.

Only they had personally seen Snorlax undergo Gigantamax; otherwise, they definitely wouldn’t have thought it was anything special, but rather some kind of monster that had escaped from somewhere.

After all, the difference in its appearance was too great.

“The reason Snorlax suddenly became so massive is related to a special form change, which is Gigantamax.”

“Gigantamax is a phenomenon that occurs in the Galar region, causing Pokémon to become gigantic.”

“However, it doesn’t happen throughout the entire Galar region, but only near certain special energy spots where Pokémon can Gigantamax.”

“But in reality, what we see as Gigantamax is merely an illusion. The true nature of Gigantamax is the release of a special Gigantamax energy from within the Pokémon, which causes the surrounding space to distort, making the Pokémon appear much larger than its actual size, but the Pokémon itself does not actually grow bigger.”

“From this perspective, Gigantamax should be considered a special kind of projection. What makes it very puzzling, however, is that the enlarged body of the Pokémon can still be touched.”

“After using Gigantamax, the biggest changes in a Pokémon, besides its HP limit, are its moves. During Gigantamax, their HP limit can potentially double, and all their moves will become Max Moves, causing a significant change in their abilities.”

“One thing to note is that because it relies on external power, the duration of Gigantamax is not long. If the battle is too intense, the duration will be significantly shortened. Typically, a Pokémon will revert from its Gigantamax form after using three moves.”

“And besides regular Gigantamax, there’s also a special Gigantamax phenomenon called Super Evolution, which is a unique Gigantamax that only specific Pokémon can use.”

“After a Pokémon undergoes Super Evolution, not only do its size and HP limit change, but even its appearance undergoes a massive transformation, further highlighting its individuality.”

“Without a doubt, Snorlax’s current situation is Super Evolution.”

After noticing the bullet comments in the live stream, Zhang Yu pondered for a moment before beginning to introduce the special form change of Gigantamax to the Water Friends in the live stream.

At the same time, driven by curiosity, he reached out and poked Snorlax’s body.

Upon realizing that Snorlax’s current touch was similar to before, he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

“Gigantamax? Is there such a magical thing?”

“Listening to Anchor, it seems that all Pokémon can undergo Gigantamax? Unlike Super Evolution, where only some Pokémon can use it.”

“It seems to be true. Only Super Evolution is for individual Pokémon, and besides some changes in appearance, Super Evolution and Gigantamax have almost no essential difference?”

“So, our Pokémon can also use Gigantamax? That’s great!”

“How should I put this? I can only say there are pros and cons… Although Gigantamax is something all Pokémon can use, it’s almost location-restricted; it can only be used in the Unknown Land belonging to the Galar region.”

“Exactly, and it can only be used near those energy spots or whatever. To be honest, I feel like it’s not as good as Super Evolution; at least Super Evolution can be used whenever you want.”

“But doesn’t Super Evolution also require special items? That’s still not as convenient as Gigantamax.”

“That’s true.”

“Although Anchor didn’t say so, I think Gigantamax should also require special items, otherwise, why haven’t we seen Anchor use it? And the other Pokémon here haven’t used Gigantamax either!”

“Hiss~ It really seems that way. If we consider it from this angle, to use Gigantamax, you probably really need some special item.”

“No way? Does even Gigantamax require special items to perform?”

“Actually, if you think about it, it’s normal. After all, Anchor also said that Gigantamax relies on external forces.”

After hearing Zhang Yu’s introduction to Gigantamax, the Water Friends in the live stream immediately began discussing it.

Especially when they realized that Gigantamax was something all Pokémon could use, they were incredibly excited.

However, some calmer individuals quickly realized the issues involved.

Although Gigantamax was something all Pokémon could use, it actually had considerable limitations. First was the regional restriction; the only Unknown Land belonging to the Galar region that they currently knew of was this one.

In other words, as soon as they left that archipelago, Gigantamax would pretty much be useless.

Secondly, to use Gigantamax, it was highly likely that special items would also be required.

This was also an extremely troublesome matter for most people.

Unlike ordinary people, some others noticed another issue, which was the increase in the destructive power of Pokémon after Gigantamax.

Although, according to Zhang Yu, Gigantamax didn’t actually make the Pokémon’s body size larger, and aside from a significant change in HP, other aspects of the Pokémon wouldn’t change, only its moves would change due to the form change.

However, it was imaginable that after the body size increased, the destructive range of its moves would definitely increase significantly, which would undoubtedly be an extremely headache-inducing matter for them.
