"Alolan Ninetales, Togekiss—use Misty Terrain!"
Alolan Ninetales and Togekiss coordinated their efforts, releasing a shimmering pink mist that blanketed the entire ruin floor.
Regidrago immediately felt a strange sense of suppression.
Regidrago: How strange... why does this pink mist exert such a heavy pressure on my body? I thought only Ice-type energy was a threat to Dragon-types, but I don't feel any cold in this vapor.
The Titan's Power Core wasn't entirely mindless. It simply lacked the nuanced strategic processing of a Mind Core, preferring direct and overwhelming violence. It let out a thunderous roar, firing a golden Dragon Pulse directly at Alolan Ninetales.
The concentrated draconic energy slammed into the ground, creating a massive mushroom cloud. The shockwave was so violent that the Unown had to reinforce their psychic barrier to prevent the entire chamber from collapsing.
Regidrago: Those two are surely obliterated now.
Regidrago watched the smoke with smug satisfaction. Just as it prepared to turn back toward its seal to resume its slumber, a beam of icy blue Ice Beam screamed out from the dust, aimed straight for its body.
Regidrago: Impossible! How did they survive that impact? Nothing withstands my Dragon Pulse!
Regidrago's pupils constricted. In a fit of rage, it countered with a Flamethrower.
So weak... the fire is barely tepid, Feng Che noted. My Ninetales could freeze those flames with ease. It seems Regidrago truly dumped every single one of its "stat points" into Dragon-type offense.
Indeed, the Ice Beam easily overtook the fire. Regidrago had to snap its jaws shut and use Fire Fang to physically crush the oncoming ice before it was hit.
Regidrago: Hmph. I don't know how you're dodging my breath, but I'll make sure the next strike is unavoidable.
The Titan began to spiral in the air, performing a Dragon Dance. As it stopped, a divine pressure—the aura of a God—erupted from its frame. Raw Dragon energy poured out of its crystal core, manifesting into a gargantuan spectral body.
Regidrago's original sphere formed the head, but the Unown's energy was now weaving the rest of the beast. Within seconds, a terrifying, jet-black dragon with scales that shimmered like obsidian appeared. It sprouted six pairs of wings, and the mere beat of them sent hurricane-force winds through the ruins.
I remember the legends, Feng Che thought. Regigigas used the finest Dragon Crystals to craft Regidrago, but ran out of materials, leaving only the head. With the Unown acting as filler, it's finally complete.
As a head, it was already a High-Mythical level threat. With a full body, it's effectively ascended to a true Godly rank.
But... because its entire structure is pure Dragon Crystal, it's fundamentally incompatible with other elements. Its Flamethrower or Thunderbolt will always be mediocre. But its Dragon-type moves? They are now world-ending.
Regidrago: This... this is my complete form. The form I've dreamed of since my creation!
It opened its maw and unleashed a Dragon Breath that transformed into dozens of snarling spectral dragons, bombarding the entire arena.
Regidrago: Hahaha! Perish, insects!
The ground was pulverized into fine dust. Deep craters littered the altar. But as the smoke cleared, Alolan Ninetales and Togekiss stood there, completely unscathed. Ninetales was even calmly grooming its fur, casting a bored, indifferent glance toward the Titan.
That look was the final straw. Regidrago snapped. It tucked its wings and transformed into a gargantuan Draco Meteor, hurtling toward the ground like a falling star.
KABOOM!
The impact triggered a tectonic shift. The Unown's psychic barrier shattered, and the Unown themselves fell from the air like stunned flies. Seawater began to spray through cracks in the ceiling as the structural integrity of the ruins failed.
"Dammit! We can't let this place collapse, or we lose the exit!" Feng Che shouted. "Ninetales, Blizzard! Freeze the cracks! Mewtwo, use Psychic to hold the ceiling up!"
While the ruins were being stabilized, Regidrago stared in pure, unadulterated horror. Despite its ultimate move, Ninetales and Togekiss were still standing there, looking like they were enjoying a walk in the park.
Regidrago: This makes no sense! Even the King of Giants would be bleeding after that! Why aren't you dead?!
Its logic core was melting down. In a final, desperate gambit, it opened its jaws wider than ever before. A terrifying, blinding light began to condense in its throat.
"This is it," Feng Che whispered. "Its signature move: Dragon Energy."
The move's power was directly proportional to the user's current health. Since Regidrago was still at 100% HP, the impending blast was capable of erasing the entire island from the map. A colossal beam of pure draconic destruction began to howl forth.
