The heroes reach Magnolia's Lab. Liam knocked on the door and heard some tipping. A red-haired girl answered the door. "Oh, it's you guys, Leon told my gran you might be coming by." She then introduced herself as "Sonia", and said that Prof Magnolia was her grandmother. She opened the door to let them in when a small dog-like Pokémon ran up and put his front legs upon each of the present heroes' legs one at a time. 
 "Oi! Yamper, stop that!" Sonia scolded.
Liam pulled out his Pokédex.

"[i]Yamper, the Puppy Pokémon. An Electric Type. This Pokémon is very popular as a herding dog in the Galar region. As it runs, it generates electricity from the base of its tail. This gluttonous Pokémon only assists people with their work because it wants treats. As it runs, it crackles with electricity.[/i]"

Once she got Yamper to settle down, Sonia led the heroes to the main sitting room where a lady was standing leaning on a cane decorated with what at what the quick glimpse Liam had seemed to be a Corviknight. The woman introduced herself as 'Prof Magnolia' and said that she studied the Dynamax Phenomena. 
 "I saw that you have experienced how it is to face Gigantamax Pokémon Champion Coleman," she said.
 "Yeah, but what's the difference between 'Gigantamax' and 'Dynamax'? I've been hearing both terms." Liam inquired.
 "Ah, this is easy to explain," Magnolia started. "Any Pokémon can Dynamax, but Giganatmax is even rarer. Only some Pokémon can do it like Leon's Charizard for instance." She explained.
 "So Smaug can Gigantamax?" Liam asked.
 "Not necessarily," Magnolia answered. "Even though Charizards have a Gigantamax form, not every Charizard can turn into it."
	"So, what determines if a Pokémon that [i]can[/i] Gigantamax is able to?" Liam asked.
"That is an answer for another time, dear Champion," Magnolia said with a coy smile. "Now, I hear through the grapevine that you youngins have received letters of recommendation to participate in the Galar Leauge, I also see that Champion Coleman has found himself a Scorbunny,"  She told the others to follow her and she'd show them some other starter Pokémon she has on hand. She also told them that she can have some Dynamax Bands made for them, but it would take a few days, and that she could send them to the Motostoke Pokémon Center when they are done, and that if it all works out right, they would be ready for the opening fesitivities.
