Thousands of years ago in the Pokémon World, a special group of meteorites fell, leading to the extinction of Pokémon such as Kabutops and Anomalocaris.
The negative energy contained within the special meteorites severely affected the ecology of the Pokémon World. In order to survive, ancient humans began researching the fallen special meteorites, and eventually through their efforts, they gained the means to control the "negative energy" within the meteorites.
Based on the legends of Groudon and Kyogre's Primal Reversion, humans successfully refined this technology and bestowed the energy upon ordinary Pokémon, achieving the "Gigantification phenomenon."
The negative energy in the special meteorites could increase the volume of Pokémon by several times or even dozens of times, and during this process, it strengthened the Pokémon's strength, physical strength, and double defense. The only limitation was their movement speed.
Moreover, Gigantified Pokémon could also absorb negative energy, thereby enhancing their own power.
Being able to strengthen themselves and protect the ecology, preventing humans and Pokémon from going extinct due to negative energy, the Gigantified Pokémon at that time were revered by humans and ordinary Pokémon as guardian gods.
People regarded Gigantified Pokémon as totems and left behind legends upon legends. That era was subsequently called the Super Ancient Civilization by later generations.
As time passed, the ancient era came to an end, and the Super Ancient Civilization was destroyed. The Pokémon World entered the Middle Age, and the Pokelandis Empire was one of the dominant powers of this era, fortunate enough to inherit the legacy of the Super Ancient Civilization.
Using the special meteorites preserved in ruins, the empire successfully created Giant Guardians, dominated the Kanto and Johto continents, and harbored ambitions to conquer the world, but they were then destroyed by Ho-Oh.
"Ancient Super-gigantification does resemble the Gigantamax phenomenon in the Galar Region quite a bit. Both are Pokémon Gigantification phenomena, and the source of power is also extraterrestrial..."
After reviewing the memories of the soul of the Polcrandis king, Mewtwo had a thorough understanding of the inherited techniques.
Combining the data summarized by Rotom, Mewtwo also had a rough analysis of the success rate of the ceremony. As long as one wasn't too greedy for power and didn't try to receive too much at once, the success rate was above 99%.
"In your world, Trainers have already incorporated Gigantamax into the battle rules, haven't they?"
Fang Yuan always heard Mewtwo mention Gigantamax alongside Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, and he knew without guessing that these were power systems from later versions. Unfortunately, he never had the chance to experience them.
"Hmm."
Mewtwo said indifferently, "However, in my opinion, Pokémon Gigantamaxing is just another means of borrowing external power. It's ultimately not one's own strength and not worth mentioning. The self-guided Ultra-Evolution, or even the Ancient Super-gigantification, seems more reliable."
The two types of Gigantification, one coming from Super Ancient technology and the other from Legendary Pokémon, shared the same origin—the universe. Mewtwo didn't know if they had anything in common or which one had a greater advantage, but it didn't matter.
Because they had no choice, with access to some of the Super Ancient Civilization's technology and a large amount of negative energy to use as a source for Ancient Super-gigantification, the Mane Rock Werewolf could only walk one path.
"Perhaps one day we'll see a face-off between Super Ancient Transformation and Gigantamax," Fang Yuan laughed.
...
Upon Fang Yuan's return to the World Tree, only Rotom and the 3D Dragon were willing to cooperate with the Mane Rock Werewolf to research Ancient Super-gigantification.
Other Pokémon immediately scurried off to do their own things.
The Armed Magnemite, Glutton, Dragonite, and Milotic were busy summarizing their own gains and inevitably had no time to pay attention to the Rock Puppy baby.
Although Mane Rock Werewolf had already evolved, in the eyes of these core strengths, it was still the Rock Puppy baby, roughly the same generation as Gear Group and Ditto.
Even with Mane Rock Werewolf on the cusp of wielding Super Ancient Power, the Pokémon didn't think Mane Rock Werewolf would change much. After all, first impressions are lasting, and Ditto had the Dream gene but was still as pitiful as Monferno, right?
Two days later.
Eevee and Victini had now joined Monferno and Ditto's big gaming brigade. While the majority of Pokémon continued to get acquainted with their new powers, the weather in the World Tree Area suddenly changed.
"Woo woo woo woo woo woo—" An extremely wild and majestic wolf howl, almost thunderous, spread across the summit of Mount Everest in an instant.
At that moment, fierce winds whipped up, and a massive oppressive force swept over, causing every creature around the World Tree to look up involuntarily towards the distance.
They opened their mouths without thinking, and then saw an exaggeratedly huge creature.
Among the lingering mists at the summit, a white tail, dozens of meters long, swept across, unleashing a destructive hurricane. That powerful tail seemed as if it could shatter a mountain with a single strike, revealing a shockingly violent beauty.
As the massive tail swept across, the fog gradually cleared, and the Fossil Spirits of the World Tree, as well as the Super Elf clones of Mewtwo, finally made out the specific form of the monster through the contours.
"Woo woo woo woo woo woo—"
Amidst the howling of the wolf, limbs resembling small mountains appeared first. Those limbs, standing atop the summit, could only be described as staggering; in an instant, the giant creature lifted its foot and gently stepped down, causing the entire Mount Everest to shake violently as if an earthquake had struck.
Besides the tail and limbs, the most notable part of the giant creature was the mane on its head, and the four mane rocks on its neck. Both the mane and the mane rocks, after Gigantification, looked like interwoven mountain peaks, resembling a rugged abyss of jumbled stones, filled with a sense of grandeur.
"Bwoo??"
As they recognized the familiar orange body, Pokémon like Eevee, Victini, Monferno, and Ditto who knew Mane Rock Werewolf put down their smartphones, their expressions all stunned.
This is... Mane Rock Werewolf?? Although Mane Rock Werewolf's body was now covered in mysterious black patterns, it had to be Mane Rock Werewolf without a doubt...
The look in Mane Rock Werewolf's eyes was tremendously spirited, those eyes, blue as stars, with black pupils surrounded by a ring of white light traces. After Gigantification, it seemed as if it could see through all falsehoods, and its roaring even conveyed a sense of looking down on everything.
"It worked..."
Meanwhile, below the Giant Mane Rock Werewolf, Fang Yuan and Mewtwo, looking up at this enormous creature, thought to themselves, "No, it succeeded halfway."
Gigantification was a success, and indeed, a very perfect one.
According to the description of Polcrandis, ordinary giant spirits have a height of around 20 meters, but at this moment, the body length of the Mane Rock Werewolf has perfectly reached nearly a hundred meters, terrifyingly comparable to the stature of the Giant Dragonite on Dragon Island!!p>
Now, the only issue was whether the Gigantified Mane Rock Werewolf could control the Super Ancient Power to shrink its body.
Freely controlling one's size, this point should be difficult, as even after half a month of effort, the Giant Dragonite on Dragon Island had not been able to achieve it.
But for Mane Rock Werewolf, Fang Yuan was still somewhat confident... after all, even the Gigantified Dragonite, which had undergone Super Ancient Transformation, could not achieve a clear understanding of the Super Ancient Power like Mane Rock Werewolf.
