"How can I make it wake up quickly?"
Damian wondered how to get Regigigas to snap out of it fast. He looked at Regigigas, which was currently in a state of extreme rage and had lost its reason.
Using Regirock, Regice, and Registeel was clearly not realistic. He was afraid they would be hit by a Hyper Beam from Regigigas and be left crippled.
After thinking it over, the best way was indeed to give it a beating first.
At that moment, Regigigas moved on the ground. The seven circular holes on its front began to flash with light once again.
Its arms waved as if they were twitching. It made a series of mechanical "clack-clack" sounds. Sharp blades made of rock appeared in front of its body.
Regigigas used Stone Edge!
Regigigas swung its arms with great force. The stone blades shot out. They flew toward Mega Shadow Mewtwo Y at high speed.
"Avoid it," Damian said.
Mega Shadow Mewtwo Y's expression remained cold. Its much smaller body turned into a streak of black light and vanished instantly from the spot.
"Dark Nova."
When it appeared again, Mega Shadow Mewtwo Y was already behind Regigigas.
It raised its right arm. Strange purple-black energy pulsed and gathered above its palm. Then, it expanded rapidly to an exaggerated size. In the blink of an eye, it became a massive energy ball.
Mega Shadow Mewtwo Y used Dark Nova!
Regigigas sensed that something was wrong behind it. It turned around quickly. Both of its arms glowed with a white light. It swung them toward Mega Shadow Mewtwo Y.
Regigigas used Hammer Arm!
Mega Shadow Mewtwo Y smashed the Dark Nova in its hand toward Regigigas.
Boom!
The Hammer Arm hit the Dark Nova heavily. Regigigas tried to stop the energy ball from moving forward. Even though Regigigas was using all of its strength to stop the Dark Nova from pushing in...
It could not do it!
The Dark Nova was simply too heavy. It continued to press down, inch by inch.
Regigigas made low, mechanical noises repeatedly. However, it still could not stop the attack. Its Hammer Arm was broken through. The Dark Nova hit Regigigas's body with a heavy impact.
Rumble!
Intense purple-black energy shot up into the sky. The entire earth shook violently. A physical shockwave rippled outward.
Even Caitlin, Cynthia, and Hunter J, who were standing far away, felt a strong wave of wind hit their faces.
Cynthia immediately had her Garchomp stand in front of Hunter J. Otherwise, this woman, whose injuries had only just started to heal, would have been seriously hurt again.
"The power of that move is quite good," Damian said.
Damian was riding on Reshiram, looking down at the scene below with satisfaction.
The ground where Regigigas stood had sunk down significantly, forming a large crater. The aftershocks of the Dark Nova had also swept over the surrounding ground, peeling away a layer of soil.
It was clear that the power of this Dark Nova was extreme.
But Mega Shadow Mewtwo Y had not even used its full power yet!
Mega Evolution had truly given Shadow Mewtwo's power a massive leap. Just like Mega Rayquaza and Rayquaza, they were practically two different kinds of Pokémon.
"Regi..."
At the bottom of the huge pit, Regigigas used its arms to push its body up. The scars on its body were visible. This showed that it had just taken significant damage.
However, its aura had calmed down a lot now. It was no longer as violent as it had been before.
Regigigas stood up. It looked at Mega Shadow Mewtwo Y in the sky with confusion.
It felt a bit of Mew's aura from Mega Shadow Mewtwo Y. But there was also a huge difference. They were fundamentally different.
"It seems you have finally woken up, Regigigas."
Damian patted Reshiram. He signaled it to move closer to Regigigas. Damian looked at the giant Pokémon and spoke.
Regigigas looked at Reshiram and Damian. Then, it looked at the surroundings. The total mess on the ground made Regigigas feel a bit ashamed.
Once its heart, which had been filled with rage, calmed down, it remembered everything it had just done.
"There is no need to feel bad. You cannot be blamed for this," Damian comforted Regigigas. "As long as you have returned to normal now, it is fine."
Damian spoke kindly. After all, this was not Regigigas's fault. If anyone was to blame, it was that woman, Hunter J.
"However, the temple where you slept has been destroyed. So, where will you go next?" Damian asked.
Snowpoint Temple had been destroyed during Regigigas's rampage. Well, the Hyper Beams that Regigigas had fired randomly were no joke. After taking a few hits, the ancient temple could not hold up and collapsed.
Regigigas looked at the fallen temple and became even more silent.
"If you don't know where to go, why not leave with me? You have slept for so long. You should go out and be active," Damian took the chance to invite it.
Although Regigigas's strength was not at the very top, once its Slow Start ended, it could be considered a top-tier Legendary Pokémon in close combat. There was no harm in trying to recruit it.
Regigigas looked at Damian again. It could sense the aura of the pillars it had created on Damian's person.
Wait! Something was wrong!
"The pillars on you... are they from Mew's side?"
A low, mechanical, and confused telepathic voice rang in Damian's ears.
It had not made many pillars in total. After all, making them required energy crystals. It had to find those things itself. Regigigas was not that bored.
It had made two of the Rock-type ones. For the Dragon-type Regidrago and the Electric-type Regieleki, it had only made one of each.
It felt this way especially about Regidrago. To Regigigas, that pillar was only a half-finished product.
This was because while it was molding it, it realized halfway through that the Dragon Crystals were all used up...
That was why Regidrago looked like just a head. Its "body" had never been made.
"Yes. I caught them over at the World Tree," Damian answered.
"Mew... didn't care?"
After a moment of silence, Regigigas found this hard to handle.
The reason it had created those three pillars was to protect the World Tree. It was also meant to keep Mew from being bothered by small problems.
It did not think Mew would be a match for Damian. This human had too many Legendary Pokémon with him.
But it wouldn't have been impossible to take Regirock and the others and hide inside the World Tree. The internal mechanism of the World Tree would naturally drive out humans.
This human could not enter the World Tree.
But then Regigigas thought about it. Even if Damian could not go in, it seemed his Pokémon could.
Regigigas realized it had misunderstood Mew.
"No, I worked it out with Mew. I bought the World Tree area. I have people guarding the outer perimeter. That is why I caught Regirock and the others," Damian said with a smile.
Regigigas went silent. Regigigas came to terms with it.
Expecting that brat Mew to value the three pillars it had left behind was clearly just wishful thinking.
"Actually, Mew values them quite a bit. When I first arrived at the World Tree area, it specifically came out to stop me from catching them," Damian said. He felt he should explain a bit for Mew.
Regigigas remained silent in response.
Seeing this reaction, Damian felt that recruitment might be difficult.
"Regigigas, what do you think? I really hope to become partners with you," Damian changed the subject.
"Human, even without my help, you are already a top-tier being among mankind," Regigigas's telepathy sounded quite emotional.
"Also, this body of mine cannot give you too much help."
It knew its own situation well. Before every battle, it needed to "start up" its body first. Otherwise, it could not use the full strength of this body.
Regigigas's words were undoubtedly a polite way of refusing.
"But it was you who stopped me, human. Otherwise, I would have probably caused even more damage. In the future, if you need my help, I will come to assist you."
Regigigas was clearly an honest individual. It spoke to Damian seriously.
"I understand. Thank you," Damian said. He felt it was a bit of a pity.
"But this place is no longer suitable for you to keep sleeping, Regigigas. This place has been exposed," Damian said.
Even if Regigigas didn't mind that Snowpoint Temple was now in ruins, there had been too much noise here today. Many people would surely come here afterward.
"Why don't you go over to the World Tree? I think Mew would also welcome you very much," Damian suggested.
"I can send you there. You will arrive quickly."
The seven dots on Regigigas's front flashed on and off. It seemed to be hesitating.
After thinking for a long time, Regigigas finally nodded.
"Fine. Then I will trouble you, human," Regigigas thanked Damian.
"You're welcome. Many Pokémon from Team Rocket live at the World Tree. With you there as a guardian, I can feel much more at ease."
"I will do that."
Regigigas's mechanical telepathy carried a bit of a smile. It liked honest humans like Damian.
"By the way, human, I have a treasure. I wonder if you need it?" Regigigas seemed to remember something and asked.
"A treasure?" Damian raised an eyebrow. If Regigigas called it a treasure, it must be truly amazing.
"This treasure is very mysterious. However, it might also bring you danger."
"Let me see it."
"Wait for a moment."
Seeing that Damian was interested, Regigigas walked to the ruins of Snowpoint Temple. It dug around for a while before pulling a bundle out from underground. It was an old box covered in dirt.
Reshiram landed. Damian got off the white dragon. He didn't care if it was dirty and opened the box directly.
A faint purple light immediately hit his eyes.
Inside the box was a round gem. It glowed with a soft pink-purple light. A strange, otherworldly aura flowed from it.
"This is..."
Damian looked at the round gem in surprise. He recognized it.
But why did Regigigas have this? Had it picked it up over the years?
It was no wonder Regigigas said this thing might bring him danger. If the owner of this treasure sensed its aura, they would probably rush over immediately.
Thinking of this, Damian immediately closed the box again.
"Regigigas, I like this gift very much. Thank you."
Damian thought for a moment. A smile slowly appeared on his face as he thanked Regigigas.
This was truly an unexpected surprise.
