Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 118 Crisis lurks everywhere
Upon hearing this, Cynthia was taken aback.

It goes without saying how powerful Cattleya's superpowers are, that even her power can be suppressed.

This is truly something that has never happened before...

In other words, the situation inside this ruin is indeed not simple.

She and Cattleya exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and silently responded in their hearts.

How much of your power has been suppressed?

The other party's response quickly echoed in Cynthia's mind.

It's not particularly serious, but this situation... makes me feel a little uneasy.

Let's proceed with caution; this is indeed not a simple matter.

【Um. 】

Leave the traps ahead to me.

……

After a brief exchange, Cynthia threw out a deep white Poké Ball, releasing another Pokémon.

This Pokémon's body is made of emerald-like leaves, and its hands are like two bright red, blooming roses. Its beautiful, work-of-art-like body is covered with countless sharp thorns.

She is none other than Roserade, one of Cynthia's ace Pokémon.

"Please, use the magic leaf to clear a path."

Cynthia gave the order softly, and Roseradore stepped forward, slightly raising her hands. In the next instant, a green glow imbued with a rich life force surged from her body, instantly transforming into countless sharp energy blades that swept across the road ahead like a torrential rain.

Wherever the blade passed, countless mechanisms set up in the cave were directly triggered: high-speed rotating steel saws, sharp stone pillars falling from the sky... each mechanism was extremely dangerous, as if determined to take the intruder's life.

However, amidst the countless green leaves fluttering in the air, anything that came into contact with the green light was instantly annihilated and reduced to nothingness.

In less than a few seconds, when the green light dissipated from the cave, silence returned, and all the traps and obstacles had been completely destroyed.

"Alright, stay close to me, stay alert, and don't make any unnecessary movements."

She took the lead, walking directly into the darkness ahead alongside Cattleya.

The members of the archaeological research team then snapped out of their daze and quickly followed.

Even though this wasn't the first time many of them had seen Cynthia's Pokémon perform, they were still somewhat dazed when they witnessed what had just happened.

The power of a Champion-level Pokémon... it's just too strong...

As for the Gym Leaders following behind the group, their eyes revealed envy and respect.

They were originally supposed to be in charge of security this time... but now, it's all Cynthia protecting them all, and they don't even get a chance to be of any use...

……

Just as Cynthia and Gadriya had predicted, the subsequent exploration was not smooth sailing.

As they ventured deeper into the passage, the traps and mechanisms appearing all around them became increasingly dense.

Garchomp and Roserade worked together seamlessly to overcome various traps—falling rocks, pitfalls, poison arrows…

In the most serious incident, Roserade's magical leaf while scouting the area even triggered a mechanism that caused the entire passageway to collapse instantly!

Fortunately, Cynthia reacted quickly enough, releasing her other Pokémon, Gastrodon, which spewed out a large amount of slime, directly reinforcing and stabilizing the entire tunnel and preventing it from collapsing.

This sight made Cynthia stop in her tracks.

In any previous exploration of ancient ruins, traps and mechanisms appeared far more frequently than this time…

Normally, these traps are used to defend against intruders.

But the density of mechanisms at every step is truly unprecedented.

Cynthia suddenly noticed something, took two steps forward, squatted down in front of a stone slab engraved with peculiar symbols, and carefully examined the contents of it.

It was a golden triangle symbol, which also seemed to belong to the writing system of this ancient civilization.

But none of those present knew what it meant—their deciphered content did not include this special icon.

Just then, Cattleya, who was next to Cynthia, suddenly pressed her temple, a complicated look on her face.

She could feel that the deeper she went into this ancient ruin, the stronger the suppression of her superpowers became.

She can no longer even teleport away with the people around her.

This feeling of not being able to control her abilities... made her feel very uneasy.

She closed her eyes, sensed it for a moment, and then said:

"Ahead... there is a huge space. Although my abilities are suppressed, I can still sense a little bit of it."

She paused at this point.

“There is no sign of life there.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits immediately lifted.

There were no signs of life ahead, which means they would not encounter any attacks from wild Pokémon.

Although Cynthia had neutralized all the traps and obstacles along the way, they were still constantly on edge, even just following behind. It was hard to imagine how many casualties they would have suffered without her help...

……

When everyone reached the end of the tunnel and passed through a huge stone gate, they were all stunned by the sight before them.

—This is a circular hall the size of a football field, with luminous crystals embedded in the dome, illuminating the entire space as if it were daytime.

The hall was filled with metal boxes, which were filled with gold utensils, gemstone statues and various ancient scrolls. In the center stood seven stone statues.

"This...this is a once-in-a-century discovery for archaeology!"

Captain Maxim was trembling with excitement, while his teammates couldn't wait to start taking photos to document the moment.

Although everything surrounding them, belonging to that ancient civilization, was a fatal temptation, their basic professional ethics as research and archaeology team members prevented them from wandering around or rashly touching anything. Instead, they all turned their gazes to Cynthia, awaiting her further instructions. However, no one noticed that at this moment, Cynthia was tense all over, her heart pounding!
Unlike the others, she had a feeling of déjà vu the moment she entered the hall. And when her gaze fell on the several huge stone statues, she finally understood where this feeling came from.

She was all too familiar with the shapes of those stone statues—their robust rock bodies and their dotted, array-like eyes…

It was none other than Regirock, the Geo Registeel he had seen with his own eyes in the game.

What disturbed her even more was that, among these statues, one in particular stood out with a posture clearly different from the others, as if it had been moved...

A familiar aura and a sense of oppression emanated from the stone statue, faint yet keenly detected by Cynthia.

How could this be? Could this really be Regirock's residence?

There was no time for her to overthink it.

"Don't even move!"

Cynthia gave the order in a deep, serious voice, raising one hand high.

However, it was already too late.

The archaeological team members were experienced and battle-hardened, and they knew that they could not act rashly in this situation.

However, those trainers who joined temporarily were unaware of this principle.

Not far away, a man excitedly picked up a golden pottery pot at his feet!

The moment his fingers touched the pot, a piercing buzzing sound filled the entire hall!

"what happens??"

Amidst the buzzing sound, a gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.

The ground began to shake violently without warning, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the surface of the unusual stone statue in the center of the square!

Countless pebbles began to fall from the surface of the statue, and two points of scarlet light instantly shone through the crack, followed by a deafening roar!

"Reggie Locke!"

The stone statue's outer shell suddenly shattered, revealing a red crystalline core, orange eyes arranged in a trapezoidal pattern, and a brownish-red, mottled armor composed of five hard rocks.

An overwhelming sense of oppression, accompanied by a terrifying shockwave, instantly swept through the entire cave. For a moment, under this intense pressure, everyone present froze, their expressions dazed, as if their souls had left their bodies.

Even Cattleya stared blankly at the huge, brownish-brown figure, unable to react for a moment.

Such a powerful being, even just looking directly at his body, can instantly freeze a person's mind!
Even Garchomp and Roserade were momentarily stunned by this terrifying pressure!

At that very moment, the legendary giant Pokémon fully awoke, raised its right arm, and slammed it down on the crowd without warning!
At the critical moment, a voice exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap!

"Be careful!!"

—That was none other than Cynthia!
At the sound of that voice, Gadriya snapped back to her senses, grabbed the three closest people and teleported away, turning them into a pink streak of light and disappearing from the spot.

The Garchomp next to Cynthia did the same, pulling her and Maxim backward and leaping away!

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed from the shadows!
Where the group had stood was now just a bottomless pit!

"What the hell... what... what is this thing?!"

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the massive rock formation, Maxim slumped to the ground, his glasses askew, and even his breathing became rapid and difficult.

“Regirock, the legendary Rock Registeel.” Cynthia’s voice was grave, and her expression was extremely grim.

The thing she feared most before setting off... definitely happened!

They actually encountered the legendary Regirock, and unlike in the game... this was the Regirock in an awakened state!
The aura and pressure emanating from this Geo Registeel are many times stronger than when it is in its dormant state!
If she hadn't experienced an even stronger pressure in the game's CG beforehand, Cynthia herself would probably have been completely stunned and crushed into ashes by Regirock just like Gadria in that instant!

Not far away, amidst the pink ripples, Gadriya reappeared with her team, her face even paler:
"My superpowers have been reduced by at least half. This monster is absorbing the surrounding energy... that's what's suppressing me!"

"What exactly is this thing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Regirock's head abruptly turned towards the source of the sound, and the core in his chest began to emit a dangerous red light! Countless crimson points of light began to condense on it, transforming into a massive energy ball imbued with a destructive aura, poised to unleash its power!

Cynthia and Gadria exchanged a glance and simultaneously threw out all their Poké Balls.

"Garuda, Dragon Claw! Roserade, Energy Ball! Venusaur, Shadow Ball!"

"Metamorphosis, Comet Punch! Artificial Cell Egg, Psychic!"

Time was running out, and they didn't even have time to command each of their Pokémon. But each Pokémon knew how critical the situation was, and they all used their strongest moves to attack Regirock.

The twelve champion-level Pokémon unleashed their full power simultaneously, the immense energy causing the air to tremble and vibrate. When their multicolored attacks struck Regirock at the same time, the smoke and dust from the explosion instantly enveloped the entire hall!

However, when the smoke cleared...

The rock giant reappeared—he stood unharmed in the same spot.

A strong sense of oppression instantly swept over the crowd.

Even the combined attack of two champions couldn't hurt this guy in the slightest?
However, before anyone could react, Regirock suddenly moved again!

With its arms crossed, its massive, mountain-like body suddenly began to spin at a speed that belied its bulky appearance!

"Get out of the way!"

Cynthia's pupils contracted, and she only had time to utter that one sentence before Regirock unleashed his Primal Power!

Countless boulders shattered from the ground and walls, raining down on the group like a meteor shower. Milotic, standing beside Gadlia, quickly erected a water barrier to protect everyone behind her, but it only blocked a small portion of the meteors. Alakazam and the symbolic bird beside Gadlia also worked together to create a psychic shield, but it shattered under the impact of the third wave of debris!
Amidst the violent impact, dust and smoke billowed everywhere.

"What kind of monster is this?!" Gadria, accompanied by Cynthia, appeared in the distance as a pink ray of light, gritting her teeth as she recalled the Symbol Bird, which had lost its ability to fight. "Our attacks were completely ineffective!"

Even she, at this moment, completely lost the composure she usually displayed in front of others in front of this Pokémon.

As for the people caught in the aftershocks of the falling rocks not far away, although they were temporarily unharmed under Milotic's barrier, many of them had already fainted!

As for the trainers in the league, at this moment, they couldn't even release their Pokémon!

—Under Regirock's powerful pressure, they didn't even dare to leave their Poké Balls!
