He emerged from the palace, observed the Pokémon who had begun practicing with renewed vigor, and nodded with satisfaction.
Having read Roy's "past," King Calyrex felt like he had experienced a holographic movie starring Roy and his companions.
The Crown King was no stranger to Lucario and still held great fondness for the Fighting-type.
"Is everything prepared?"
"Yes," Roy approached with Shelgon and smiled. "Only Shelgon remains."
"Then let us proceed."
King Calyrex summoned Spectrier and Glastrier, and together with Roy, they rode toward the energy points scattered across the Crown Tundra.
Shelgon's absorption of Dynamax energy, even with Dragon Power as a balancing force, still carried risks of losing control.
After all, the breeding method Roy had conceived remained in the theoretical stage.
No matter how perfect the theory, it still required practical testing.
King Calyrex had offered to witness and assist Roy and Shelgon throughout the entire Dynamax energy absorption process.
Roy had no reason to refuse support from a master who possessed deep knowledge of Dynamax energy.
Upon reaching an energy point, Roy first used his Dynamax Band to transform the violent and uncontrollable Dynamax energy into stable Galar particles.
The technology in the Pokémon world was utterly miraculous, far beyond Earth-dwellers' comprehension, belonging firmly in the realm of science fiction.
Whether it was the Pokélantis civilization's attempts to capture Ho-Oh, the mysterious scientific civilization that created Magearna, or the methods used to imprison Necrozma in the Ultra Megalopolis... the technological levels displayed approached divinity itself.
The same held true for the technology contained within Dynamax Bands.
How stable were Galar particles?
All daily electricity used throughout the Galar Region was converted from Galar particles. Major stadiums also received Galar particle supplies, providing Dynamax competition services and enhancing spectacle.
Moreover, there hadn't been a single energy accident in decades.
With such gentle and stable energy, Roy easily controlled it using his psychic powers.
"The next step is crucial—don't take it lightly."
King Calyrex's reminder made Roy take a deep breath and nod, indicating his full understanding.
The first step was simply making the Dynamax energy 'ownerless.'
The second step was the critical point.
So far, all Dynamax energy usage had remained at external application levels—namely, standard Dynamax and Gigantamax forms.
Absorbing Dynamax energy represented a higher level of power utilization.
In the Pokémon world, this power level had been manifested before.
—Eternamax.
The form displayed by Eternatus after absorbing energy from the entire Galar region.
More precisely, Eternatus had reclaimed the authority it had lost over Galar and returned to its complete form.
Eternamax was the original template.
Both Dynamax and Gigantamax merely created energy projections. In fantasy novel terms, they were external forces creating temporary transformations.
The Pokémon's actual body size didn't change, nor did its base stats increase.
But Eternamax was different.
Body size and shape genuinely expanded, and racial stat values improved dramatically.
In the games, Eternamax Eternatus possessed base stats totaling 1,125—completely surpassing all known Legendary Pokémon.
Game data served only as reference, but it was sufficient to illustrate the concept.
The reason Shelgon's body had become extremely large was because its cells absorbed Dynamax energy during rapid cellular transformation.
Power with specifications too high became 'toxin.'
"Having Shelgon absorb Dynamax energy follows principles similar to Eternamax. However, the process will be extremely difficult. Even with my assistance, you must be prepared..."
King Calyrex explained crucial points requiring attention and shared his experience controlling Dynamax energy without reservation.
After confirming Roy's complete preparation, the experiment officially began!
Roy guided stable Galar particles and slowly channeled them into Shelgon's body.
"Don't follow instinct to Dynamax—try to absorb this power instead..."
Shelgon nodded, attempting to direct the energy flow.
However, the gentle and stable Galar particles became extremely violent and completely uncontrollable the moment they sensed impending absorption.
Divine authority couldn't be easily contaminated by mortals.
Continuing this way would repeat past events—absorption would damage Shelgon's cellular tissue while violently consuming its life force.
The disadvantages would far outweigh any benefits.
Just then, another 'God' entered the arena.
King Calyrex's majestic and vast, proud psychic power suppressed the gradually maddening Galar particles.
Simultaneously, Roy's Dragon Power flowed into Shelgon's body, greatly strengthening its control over internal Dragon energy.
Roy and King Calyrex cooperated seamlessly, together monitoring and balancing changes within Shelgon's body.
There were no surprises—everything worked exactly as theoretical predictions suggested.
Shelgon consumed the power with joy and intensity.
Its ability to absorb Dynamax energy was largely due to the special life structure of the 'Shelgon' period.
In other words, this was something only achievable during the Shelgon stage.
During this period, the more Dynamax energy it absorbed, the stronger the dragon body gestating within would become upon evolution.
"Keep going!" Roy cheered encouragingly, saying something Shelgon couldn't understand at all. "This is your foundation-building period—no matter what, you need to establish proper foundations..."
As originally a pseudo-legendary Pokémon, once its body was conceived through "Eternamax" methods, no one could predict how high its potential would reach the day it broke free and spread its wings.
There was no precedent for such a thing.
Even King Calyrex couldn't say with certainty.
After one energy point was absorbed, Roy examined Shelgon's body using aura power.
Soon, the results emerged.
Using a progress bar analogy, Shelgon's body development had increased by ten percent.
Absorbing just nine more energy points would allow it to break free from its cocoon.
However, haste made waste.
Following King Calyrex's suggestion, Roy decided to give Shelgon one day's buffer time after each energy point absorption, allowing its body to adapt to these rapid changes.
During remaining time, Roy supervised and assisted other Pokémon in practicing Z-Power techniques.
Just like that, ten days passed in the blink of an eye...
A crack quietly appeared in the 'cocoon' that had been gestating the giant dragon.
