Just my speculation-

But I think that maybe we can link Dynamaxing to a lot of mysterious events in the Pokémon series? We’ve gotten glimpses of certain things like this before, like: Mega Gyarados, Alolan Exeggutor. So why not giant Pokémon? Here’s some references from the anime and games about instances of giant Pokémon:

Giant Dragonite

100 ft Bellsprout mentioned at the base of Bellsproute tower

Ancient Giant Pokémon

Giant Trevonant

The Tentracruel from the banned episode/theme song

Giant Onix that Bruno was trying to catch

Totem Pokémon (even though their size is influenced by the Ultra wormholes)

Pokémon Go Raid battles/bosses

Detective Pikachu doesn’t state which region Rhyme City is located in, I doubt it’ll be confirmed as Galar, but it was filmed in London! The scientists at the genetic Pokémon lab, PCL, are experimenting on Torterra - AND MAKING THEM HUGE. Not just huge like “legendary” sized... huge in like DYNAMAX size??? The super sized Torterra in the movie are literal MOUNTAINS.

Were PCL scientists messing around with the science behind Dynamaxing? I don’t think it should be an idea left alone! Their whole thing appeared to be trying to make Pokémon “genetically” “superior”. Not just giving them a stone (mega-evolution), not just powering up their moves ( z-stones)... But their goal appeared to be trying to make permanent, genetic change.

PCL scientists could have started with the concept of Dynamaxing, and then tried using whatever power is behind it, to permanently keep the Pokémon at that ginormous size! ( It doesn’t seem like they were successful in the permanent sense, though, because I recall it being mentioned near the end of the movie that they were going to work on turning the altered Pokémon back to their original states.)

I'm putting this out to say that I will be choosing scorbunny, but I wont be doing it happily.

Grookey is my shit. What a good kid. He looks like a monkey furby. I want him. That is my top choice. Sobble is an angel, I feel so bad for her.

Allura will not stand by while a rescue mission is underway, no matter how sick she is.

A (possible) short series of Kallura, entailing what happens when Allura is fighting a nasty virus, her feelings for Keith, and Keith’s own cantankerous heart.

P A R T . T W O

The thunderous collapse over them comes to a rumbling halt, and brave as she is, Allura has her eyes tightly shut against the possible sight of being trapped under rubble. She's gotten them killed, she panics inwardly. She is going to open her eyes and Keith will be lifeless, crushed above her by the mass of crumbled pillars, and she will have been his murderer. His body is limp, head bowed besides hers, and Allura curls her fingers tighter around the collar of his armor. 

It's an overbearing dread that closes her windpipe, keeps her lips dry and clamped together, shutting her out from answering Pidge's voice shooting through her head. It cuts out after a moment and Allura is back in the darkened silence. She hears her own breathing and then, softly, she catches the sound of someone else's. 

"Keith?" her voice comes through a fissure, her fingers tightening their hold on him. His name rounds to the start of her mouth again, when Keith reanimates shoulders-first.

Allura finally opens her eyes. Head tucked in the curve of his neck, she catches the viridian glow of the lights in his suit and whispers anxiously to him. 

"Keith?"

"Hmm?" His voice is groggy, and a hiss follows when he lifts his head off Allura's shoulder. It barely comes up before it hits the ceiling and Keith slowly remembers the last sequence of events, body tensing in realization. 

"A-Are you alright?" Allura makes out quietly as he shuffles above her. 

There is little space to slide, less so between them, and Keith stops moving immediately. He's able to shift around enough to raise his head over hers and meets her wide eyes. 

They're bright and seeking answers in him. Allura is suddenly small, fragile, and back in the middle of deep space with him, holding onto his hands as he brings her close and to a spinning stop. He knows that fear in her,  just as he knows that he never wants to see it again.

"I'm fine," he ushers out, gritting his teeth as he braces his hands against the floor and pushes up. "I'm glad I pushed you out of the way in time." 

His back meets resistance about a hundred pounds heavier than expected but Keith keeps himself up and away from compressing Allura and her chest altogether. She breathes a little easier and that alone is worth the effort. 

"I'm sorry," she frowns, eyes shifting away.

Keith watches her start to shrink from him and doesn't hesitate to pin her down with his gaze.

"Sorry for what?" his voice coolly chases after hers. 

"....For not thinking rationally and getting us into this mess. How are we going to make it out of here in time to save the last person aboard? The ship is falling apart and we're running out of time, and--" Her voice quivers before a cough rips through her. 

"Easy....We're going to make it out of here in time, Princess," Keith tries to reassure her, masking his own concern over her declining health with a calm face, though it's taking everything in him not to panic over her. He should've forced her to stay back, even if it meant facing her ire or having her shun him for the next ten thousand years. But this rescue mission is important to her, and thinking about it coldly, Keith knows that there isn’t a force in the universe strong enough to keep her off this ship. 

"We're the paladins of Voltron." He shoves back against the collapsed wall on him. "We've faced off battalions, freed enslaved planets from Zarkon," Keith grunts, broad shoulders holding off the weight. "I thought you'd be used to working under pressure by now." 

Allura snaps her gaze back to him and the moment dawns on her. "Did you just make a joke right now, Keith Kogane?"

"A joke out of this situation, me? Never. I'm crushed that you would think that." 

Allura scoffs in surprise, and a small smile blossoms across her face. The sight of it pulls Keith’s lips into a smirk, and it reinforces his entire skeletal frame with something stronger than he is, something that lets him hold the heaviness of what feels like an entire mid-level floor on him a little longer. It allows him a second or more to keep his eyes on hers, and Allura's gaze doesn't stray. 

It's only the abrupt sound of ship groaning that yanks Keith back into gear. 

"Let's get out of here, yeah?" 

Soundlessly, Allura nods. She watches with baited breath as Keith gathers his strength, take a deep breath -- and thrusts against the weight. It feels like the world is crashing down on him, like it's done so many times before. But this time, it's threatening to come down on not just him -- but Allura.  

Allura, whom never fails to choose the most difficult route for herself if it'll provide the best outcome for others. That drive of hers steers Keith's attention towards her way and he hasn't been able to recalibrate his course since. Against his better judgment, Keith only goes forward and fast, so fast, it often feels like he's not in control, free falling into an attraction for the Altean princess. And there are no brakes on this, no sure way on how to navigate around it or through it. Being considered the best pilot in the Garrison means nothing here, if it ever did anywhere. But not even his own shortcomings in the matters of the heart nor his insecurities stop the surging want to be by Allura, to be here for her. 

So, no, Keith decides. No, he's not going to let the world take a shot at her. 

Not while he's here, not when he's still got strength and fight in him and 200 bones to break. And if it takes all of them to snap for this wall to lift off of her, he gladly volunteers them. This wall or Keith is going to break, but never Allura. 

Never Allura. 

With a shout, Keith pushes back with everything in him. And the rubble gives way.
