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

Chapter 119 vs. Regirock, the final moment!

At this critical moment, the only ones who can step forward are Cynthia and Gadriya.

"Can you take us away from here?"

Cynthia confirmed it again, but received a negative answer from Gadriya.

"No, this guy's pressure is too strong. To take you and them away, I need at least a minute to prepare. But that's simply impossible!"

Cynthia's brows were furrowed. Faced with such a powerful being, and with no possibility of escape, she had no choice but to fight with all her might!

Even if the opponent is a legendary Pokémon, I can't just surrender like this!
Her gaze sharpened, and she immediately waved her hand to give the order!

"Milotic, Hydro Pump! Glaceon, Ice Beam!"

Cynthia's command echoed through the Ruins Hall. Milotic arched its long body, and a high-pressure jet of water shot out from its mouth. At the same time, the gem on Glaceon's forehead shone with a cold light, and an ice-blue energy beam tore through the air—two attacks that were most effective against Rock-type attacks hit Regirock simultaneously!

Moreover, the massive water flow from the water cannon and the freezing beam worked together perfectly!
—Water mist and ice crystals exploded on Regirock's body. The extremely low temperature of the Freeze Ray instantly turned the water into solid ice crystals, covering the joints of Regirock's upper body and sealing his upper body inside the ice crystals!
Glaceon's control over Ice-type energy is astonishing. In this chilling atmosphere, the temperature of the entire hall plummeted, and Regirock's massive body seemed to be restricted by the ice crystals, entering a state of complete stillness, unable to move an inch.

"Cynthia is indeed the strongest!!"

"We're saved!"

Upon seeing this, some of the more impatient archaeologists even cheered.

However, Cynthia's furrowed brows remained unchanged. She knew that for a legendary Pokémon, such restrictions were nothing!
Faced with such a vast disparity in strength, there is only one thing I can do now: buy everyone as much time as possible to retreat!
Cynthia immediately turned around without hesitation and shouted at the group of scientific researchers and archaeologists:

"Everyone, evacuate immediately! That's an order!"

However, before anyone could react, she had barely finished speaking.

But then something unexpected happened!

The water spewed from Milotic's mouth, which should have caused strong super-damage, was being absorbed by the rock patterns on Regirock's body, while the frost spreading downwards was instantly vaporized upon contact with its orange core in the chest.
Sensing the ever-increasing aura emanating from Regirock's body, Cynthia's pupils contracted sharply as she suddenly realized something.

"Oh no! Ice Eevee, Milotic, stop!"

However, it was already too late!

boom! !

Accompanied by a loud roar.

Regirock's core suddenly shone with a blinding light, unleashing terrifying power, and the ice crystals covering its body instantly shattered into pieces.

With its arms crossed, the absorbed water energy erupted from countless tiny pores on its body, transforming into high-pressure water jets that pierced the air, sweeping across the entire hall in dense, powerful bursts!
These water blades are many times more powerful than Milotic's water cannons!
Caught off guard by this sudden attack, Milotic was hit first and struck by a water blade with several times the power. It screamed and crashed into the wall, collapsing in a cloud of dust and instantly losing its ability to fight!

However, Regirock did not stop. Its huge body trembled violently, and dense ice crystals, along with mist, once again gushed out from its joints, freezing all the remaining water mist in the air into dazzling ice crystals, causing the temperature on the entire field to drop drastically!

Cynthia's pupils contracted sharply as she quickly recalled the heavily injured Milotic, realizing a huge problem.

Regirock is not only powerful enough to ignore type advantages and disadvantages, but it can also absorb all attacks from its own Pokémon and return them double!
Can this thing even be considered a Pokémon anymore?!
On the other side, Cattleya's attack encountered the same predicament.

Her symbolic bird and the artificial cell egg simultaneously unleashed their psychic powers, sending an invisible wave of energy surging towards Regirock. However, the energy was absorbed the instant it touched the Geo Regiment, like water droplets falling into a desert.

“All power is being drained,” Gadriya said, pressing her temples, her face deathly pale.

She suddenly realized something and yelled at Cynthia, "It's absorbing all special forms of energy! Including superpowers!"

As if to confirm her judgment, Regirock's core suddenly turned in the direction from which the psychic power was coming, and a visible psychic wave reflected back!
The symbolic bird let out a piercing scream, its feathers burst open, and it fell like a kite with a broken string, while the artificial cell egg fell into a coma and crashed heavily from the sky.

"Lord Rade, Energy Ball! Garchomp, Dragon Breath!" Cynthia tried again, unwilling to give up.

The emerald green energy ball and the azure dragon's breath intertwined and hit the target, only to be greedily absorbed and disappear by Regirock once again!

This time, it plunged its arms into the ground, and the entire ruins began to tremble violently—it had actually used the Dragon-type move "Outrage," which it could never have learned, and its power was many times greater than normal!
"Rumble--"

Countless energy beams with dazzling brown light erupted from the ground. Garchomp barely managed to dodge them thanks to its flight ability, but Lorelei was pierced through the calyx by a stone spike that suddenly shot up, letting out a scream and abruptly kneeling down!

Cynthia felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly. She trembled as she pulled back the heavily injured Lorelei, cold sweat beading on her forehead.

This is the power of legendary Pokémon. Invincible and insurmountable!

Gadriya floated to Cynthia's side, her long pink hair plastered to her cheeks with sweat, and spoke in a deep voice:
"The stronger our special attacks, the more terrifying it becomes. Not only that, it's also absorbing my superpowers!"

She could feel that her Nen power was now many times weaker than it had been at its peak, making it difficult for her to even attack Regirock!

Cynthia quickly scanned the battlefield—her Glaceon, Gastrodon, and Spiritomb were still capable of fighting, and Gadgetzan's Metagross, Gothic, and Alakazam were barely holding their own. A bold idea took shape in her mind.

"Since special attacks are ineffective, let's use pure physical attacks!" she whispered. "Your Metagross, my Garchomp, plus other Pokémon that can use physical attacks."

Caldelia immediately realized that although her Psychic-type Pokémon was not good at physical attacks, she had no other choice at the moment!

"Goethe's 'Slap' and Alakazam's 'Psychic Slash' aren't particularly powerful, but they're both purely physical moves!" The two quickly reached a consensus. Cynthia suddenly raised her voice: "Glaceon, Blizzard cover! Gastrodon, Mud Shot to distract it!"

Frost and mud erupted simultaneously, temporarily obscuring Regirock's vision. Taking advantage of this, Gadgetzan activated her telepathic abilities, transmitting the tactical plan directly into the consciousness of each Pokémon. The six Pokémon quickly dispersed, approaching Regirock from different angles.

“Now!”

At Cynthia's command, Garchomp's Dragon Claw, Metagross's Comet Punch, and Alakazam's Psychic Slash all struck Regirock's back simultaneously. Gothic's Slap and Venusaur's Rush were aimed at its knees. Gastrodon, though not good at offense, did its best to ram its entire body into Regirock's ankle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With a series of muffled thuds, Regirock let out its first painful groan. Fine cracks appeared on its rocky body, especially where it had been struck by Garchomp's claws; several pieces of rock had already crumbled off!
It really works!
Cattleya's eyes lit up immediately.

But her joy lasted less than three seconds before vanishing into nothingness—the orange core on Regirock's chest suddenly turned dark red, and the shattered fragments floated up and were reabsorbed back onto it.

Even more terrifying, the patterns on its entire body began to glow, and the energy dissipating from the air throughout the ruins seemed to be converging on it.

"This guy can even recover from that."

Cattleya's face had turned deathly pale, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Regirock raised his arms overhead, and seven beams of red light shot out from his core, forming a massive ancient rune on the dome of the hall. The entire ruin began to tremble violently, and countless crystals detached from the dome, reforming in mid-air into sharp rock spears! Hundreds and thousands of them, densely packed!

"Protect everyone!" Cynthia shouted at the top of her lungs.

Gadalia understood and used her last bit of superpower to erect a barrier, the pale purple light barely enveloping everyone.

The next second, hundreds of rock spears rained down like a storm. Each rock spear that struck the barrier caused a violent tremor. Blood trickled from the corner of Cattleya's mouth, and her legs trembled uncontrollably, yet she still managed to keep the light barrier from breaking.

"Hold on!" Cynthia roared, unleashing all her Pokémon to aid in the defense. Glaceon froze the falling rocks with Icy Beam, Gastrodon sprayed mud to slow down Rock Spear, and Venosuga wove a second line of defense with shadows. But the most deadly attack came from the ground—Regirock stomped heavily, and the entire hall floor suddenly liquefied, turning into rolling crimson lava.

"Ah—!" An archaeologist accidentally stepped into the lava field, and his boots instantly burst into flames. Garchomp quickly picked him up; the man's feet were severely burned, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Cynthia made a decisive move: "Abandon defense! Attack its core with all your might!"

Garchomp, ignoring its injuries, took to the air once more, crossed its claws into a cross, and unleashed its full power with a Dragon Claw. Metagross's four iron arms simultaneously shone with a metallic sheen as it launched a Bullet Punch at speeds exceeding its limits. Even Rockruff, which was not good at close combat, spun around and used "Tackle" to charge forward!
Three physical attacks struck Regirock's orange core in the chest simultaneously. With a crisp "crack," a noticeable crack finally appeared on the core's surface.

Regirock let out a deafening roar, and the entire ruins trembled precariously in the sound waves.

But its counterattack came even faster—its core suddenly erupted with blinding light, and a ring-shaped shockwave spread out from it. Garchomp was hit directly in the abdomen and flew out like a kite with a broken string!
The Metagross's metal shell cracked inch by inch and it collapsed to the ground with a crash.

The wedge-shaped rock of the Flower Rock Monster even developed spiderweb-like cracks and was almost shattered.

"No!"

Seeing all her Pokémon severely injured, Cynthia felt a pang of heartache. She abruptly turned to look at Gadria – their situation was no better. Gothic and Alakazam were already lying on the ground, and only Metagross was still barely standing, but it was also at its last gasp.

Even more terrifying was that although the crowd had just begun to flee under her command, the debris from the countless stone spears that had just fallen from the sky had almost completely blocked their escape route in this vast space!
Regirock approached with earth-shaking strides, the crack in its chest slowly healing.

Cynthia trembled as she recalled her heavily injured Pokémon; the situation before her seemed to have reached a dead end.

So, no matter what, humanity is still no match for this legendary being?

Gadria crawled with difficulty to Cynthia's side. Her superpowers were almost exhausted after that defense, but there was no fear in her eyes, only relief.

"Sister Zhulan, I never imagined we'd encounter something like this together one day."

Cynthia suddenly stood up and came to her, stuffing a dark brown fruit into Cattleya's mouth.

Gadria's eyes widened suddenly. She recognized this thing. It was a tree fruit called the Relief Fruit, which only grows in Mount Crown. Each one was priceless and could instantly restore a Champion-level Psychic-type Pokémon to its full strength and put it in its prime!
And this kind of thing can naturally restore her superpowers!

“Take them away.” Cynthia’s voice was chillingly calm. “Take as many as you can, and leave now.”

"you--"

As Gadriya felt the power flowing into her body, she opened her mouth, but Cynthia interrupted her before she could finish her sentence.

"If we don't take them with us, we'll all die here!"

"Your telekinesis is useless; it can absorb all energy attacks, but physical impacts can still have some effect."

"Right now, my Garchomp is the only one still capable of fighting. In that case, I'll cover your retreat and buy you thirty seconds!"

Gadriya wanted to argue, but a blinding ball of light had already formed on Regirock's chest—the Hyper Beam was about to be fired at them!

At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Gadria saw a resolute flame burning in Cynthia's golden pupils as she walked towards Regirock in the distance with Garchomp!
In that instant, she understood everything and nodded heavily.

"Come back alive." Cattleya gritted her teeth, and a dazzling pink light erupted from her body.

"Otherwise, when I get back, I'll make sure your statue disappears from Sinnoh Plaza!"
