Chapter 444 Spatial Collapse
"Ugh~"
"yue~"
The Charizard was still lying on the ground, retching violently, and the dark green mucus overflowing from its throat corroded the ground, leaving charred marks.
However, the Dynamax energy flowing in the nest was suddenly drawn by an invisible magnet, turning into thousands of red threads that wrapped around its skin.
A dark red aura burst forth from its spine, flickering and flowing across its body, as if a cataclysmic change was taking place within it.
Zhang Heng stared at the Charizard's constantly updating attribute panel, swallowing hard as his throat tightened.
Pokémon Name: Charizard

Potential: King

Special Ability: @$%&…
The special ability section initially displayed strange gibberish, but then the "Gigantamax" icon began flashing, indicating that Charizard was undergoing a transformation.
After a short while, it has now turned into a dazzling scarlet "Gigantamax"!
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, a smile involuntarily spreading across his lips, and said, "It's done...it really is done!"
Seeing Zhang Heng's excited expression, Aiven stepped forward and asked, "Drinking this soup really turned Charizard into a Gigantamax Pokémon?"
Zhang Heng immediately responded, saying, "When Charizard was being baptized by those Dynamax energies just now, it indirectly proved that its body can withstand more Dynamax energy, thus undergoing a transformation."
Evan nodded thoughtfully, half believing Zhang Heng's statement, but there wasn't much time to verify his guess at the moment.
Zhang Heng then turned around and asked, "Evan, Duan Guanjun told me that this batch of the original starter Pokémon needs to be exchanged with foreign countries. They were previously owned by someone else?"
Evan's thoughts were interrupted, but he didn't hide anything and said.
"They are not considered to have owners. They grow up in the breeding park and their potential is mostly around the level of Elite Four. They improve very quickly and are difficult for new trainers to tame."
"Some are chosen because of their personality, so they are generally not picked up or placed in the selectable area."
Zhang Heng then understood the reason behind this. The combination of Charizard's Solar Power ability and leftover food did indeed lead Zhang Heng to initially believe that it was a Pokémon abandoned by other trainers.
This combination led Zhang Heng to mistakenly believe that Charizard initially possessed the Blaze ability, and that it had not shown any signs of being negatively affected by the power of the sun during the battle.
Evan continued, "Their characteristics and the items they come with have been specially selected and configured, all in order to send them to the Mediterranean region to exchange for the new generation of starter Pokémon there, and to try to understand the special crystallization state that has appeared in that region?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng was greatly alarmed and couldn't help but ponder in his mind.
"Crystallization! Could it be that someone in this world has already mastered titanium crystallization?! Has the Talebages already appeared?"
Amin, standing nearby, also became interested, because he desperately needed power! He desperately needed the power to challenge the gods!
He asked, "Evan, what is the crystallized state?"
Evan shook his head and said to Amin, "It's not clear yet. This strange phenomenon has also been discovered locally and is currently under investigation."
Evan glanced at his watch and said to Zhang Heng, "Zhang Heng, it's about time we left."
"Wait! There's still some time. Let Master Martial Arts drink the Max Air Soup too!"
Martial Arts Master Xiong, who had been standing aside watching the show, now frowned, staring at the remaining green, bubbly soup in the steel pot and pursing his lips.
Its thick bear paws unconsciously rubbed against the edge of the pot, clearly resentful that the fire-breathing dragon's capacity was too small; it couldn't even finish a third of the soup...
"Martial Arts Master Xiong, you're being too generous." Zhang Heng turned around, both amused and exasperated. "This is for three people. You almost overfed the new Charizard. Should I cook another pot for you separately?"
The martial arts bear master froze, his face turning bright red. He turned his head away, a trembling groan escaping his throat, as a strange sense of fear surged into Zhang Heng's consciousness.
"No need, I feel that with my abilities, I don't need..."
Before he finished speaking, an enormous sweetness, shimmering with colorful light, suddenly appeared in Zhang Heng's palm.
Thick, amber-colored nectar flowed slowly in the bottle, its sweet aroma penetrating the martial arts master's nostrils as if it were a tangible substance.
The bear-like Pokémon's instinct for honey awakens instantly. Urshifu's ears perk up with a "whoosh," its previously determined gaze instantly turns scorching, and even its fluffy cape sways uncontrollably.
Zhang Heng shook the bottle, a mischievous glint in his eyes: "This is something I found, are you sure you don't want to give it a try?"
Martial Arts Master Xiong's Adam's apple bobbed violently, his inner turmoil almost overflowing.
Just as it was struggling to refuse, Zhang Heng had already unscrewed the bottle cap.
The sweet aroma of honey swept over him like a tidal wave, causing Martial Arts Master Xiong's rationality to collapse, and the emotional fluctuations he blurted out were clearly marked by wavering.
"Hmm?! It's not impossible! Let's give it a try!"
Just as Zhang Heng was about to pour the honey into the soup pot, Martial Arts Master Xiong grabbed his wrist with a slap, his voice trembling, "No! It might... ruin the taste of the soup!"
It snatched the giant sweet treat and held it in its arms like a precious treasure, but then secretly glanced at the green soup in the pot.
The next second, Martial Arts Master Xiong made up his mind, suddenly picked up the steel pot, his neck muscles tensed like steel cables, and tilted his head back to gulp down most of the giant soup.
The bitter and spicy taste exploded on the tip of its tongue, its fur stood on end, and its facial features scrunched up, but its eyes lit up the moment the honey entered its mouth.
The immense sweetness slid down its throat, and it simply gulped it down directly from the bottle opening, the amber-colored nectar wetting its snow-white fur.
As the last drop of honey entered his throat, Martial Arts Master Xiong suddenly knelt on one knee.
"Buzz~"
The maximal energy in the space frantically condensed, weaving a red cocoon around it.
It let out a deafening roar, and dark golden Fighting-type energy gushed out from its pores like magma, shaking the entire nest's rock walls to create spiderweb-like cracks—the transformation of Gigantamax had begun.
The Martial Arts Bear Master's muscles swell and twist continuously, and its originally solid bones make a teeth-grinding "crackling" sound.
It knelt on one knee, its body trembling violently uncontrollably, emitting painful roars, each one filled with tearing agony, as if it were experiencing a double torment of its soul and body.
"What's going on? The spatial fluctuations have suddenly intensified!"
Evan's expression suddenly changed, and his gaze locked onto Urshifu, which was frantically absorbing Dynamax energy.
The energy flowing in the surrounding space was drawn in by an invisible vortex, turning into streaks of scarlet light that entered the body of Martial Arts Master Xiong.
The energy band that was maintaining the stability of the nest was dimming at a visible speed. "Damn it! It's drained all the energy from the spatial anchor!"
"Zhang Heng! Take it away quickly! The space is about to collapse!" Amin pointed at the spiderweb-like cracks that suddenly appeared in the dome, his voice trembling.
The entire nest's rock walls began to peel and collapse, with rubble falling like raindrops. The howling wind carried the debris and dust, instantly blurring everyone's vision.
Evan grabbed Zhang Heng, who was frozen in place: "This space is maintained by energy! It's absorbing too much!" His voice was torn apart by the creaking and distorting of the space, "If we don't leave now! We'll be in danger!"
Amidst the deafening roar of the crumbling rock walls, the only pure white dome in the sky—a translucent exit—was visible, appearing like a flickering candle in the collapsing darkness.
Aiven and Amin both unleashed their riding Pokémon, but they saw Zhang Heng still stubbornly guarding the Martial Arts Urshifu, letting the pebbles graz his cheeks.
"Zhang Heng! Hurry!" Aiven's roar was swallowed up by the shrill scream of the distorted space.
"It's alright! You guys go first! I'll catch up later!"
The spiderweb-like cracks crawled wildly along the ground towards the two of them as if they were alive, instantly turning the soil and rocks into dust wherever they passed.
The red cocoon surrounding Martial Arts Bear Master began to crack, but the dark golden energy continued to burst out uncontrollably.
The Charizard suddenly grabbed Zhang Heng with its claws, about to take off. "Let go! It's alright! We can't leave it alone here..."
The words abruptly stopped. Martial Arts Urshifu slammed its fist into the ground, its crimson cocoon exploding with a deafening roar, unleashing the immense pressure of Gigantamax.
"Success! Martial Arts Master Bear!"
"Roar—!" The Martial Arts Bear Master's thick hind legs gathered power like springs, and the ground sank three feet in the instant his feet pushed off the ground.
Its long arms embraced Zhang Heng and the fire-breathing dragon, using the force to propel them into the sky, its fists tearing apart the layers of collapsing spatial barriers.
Just as the pure white exit was within reach, a deafening roar of space collapsing erupted behind them, like a death knell at the end of the world. Meanwhile, Martial Arts Bear Master, leading Zhang Heng and the fire-breathing dragon, broke through the light barrier...
