Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 277 Regirock's Heart

When Su Yu arrived at the location Daigo had indicated...

The other four Heavenly Kings had already arrived.

With Su Yu present this time, and the battle taking place in the desert, Daigo was no longer worried about destroying the surrounding towns as he had done with the Steel God Pillars last time.

"Now that everyone's here, let's go!"

"The place where Regirock was sealed is beneath these ruins."

With that, Daigo took the lead and walked inside.

Meanwhile, sand and dust were constantly being spewed out of the ruins, which seemed to be the work of Regirock.

Seeing this, Dragon King Genji's expression turned serious. After all, this situation hadn't occurred where the Steel God Pillar and Ice God Pillar had been sealed before.

This means that... the power of this Rock Pillar can even resist the seal to a certain extent.

Su Yu followed along with an unperturbed expression. With Daigo's Metagross breaking through the wind in front, they were not exposed to any sand or dust.

As for... that Regirock?

This time, Su Yu brought along Suicune, Hoopa, and his mount, the Goat—the three strongest fighters from the ranch. This isn't cowardice; it's prudence.

With such a lineup, you ask me about Regirock?

Cricket, native chicken, tile dog.

As they ventured deeper into the ruins, the sandstorm intensified. Upon reaching a secluded chamber, their path was blocked by a wall.

Just as Daigo was about to have Metagross use Comet Punch to forcefully break through, Slowpoke said:

"Following the instructions above, use Rock Smash in a specific location to break the seal."

Upon hearing this, Bonnie, who was standing nearby, asked in surprise:

"You can actually read the text above?"

Logically speaking, the ancient Hoenn lineage should have been severed long ago. Otherwise, later generations wouldn't be unaware of the seals on the three legendary pillars.

In this situation, it's quite strange that Slowking could understand.

Even Daigo was able to decipher the contents of the proclamation chamber only because he happened to know an ancient scholar.

After Slowking revealed the location, Steven had Skarmory use Rock Smash on that spot.

With the sound of the seal shattering, the surrounding sandstorm intensified. The stone wall inscribed with ancient characters instantly crumbled, and Regirock emerged from within.

Having been sealed away for so long, Regirock clearly harbors immense resentment towards humanity. However, the seal is too strong, and despite the passage of time, he is still unable to break it.

but……

Foolish humans, have they actually broken the seal themselves?

"Reggie!"

Raising an even more violent sandstorm, Regirock looked at the humans and Pokémon in front of it, seemingly preparing to cause a huge disturbance.

But Regirock was stunned when he saw the opposing team's lineup.

Although he didn't recognize Suicune and Hoopa, it was clear from their life level that they both met the standard of "Legendary Pokémon".

Even in a one-on-one situation, Regirock probably wouldn't fare much better. But this time, two of them came.

And then there's the Metagross, whose imposing presence is clearly not weak, and the three little goats whose ground is connected to the field beneath their feet...

"Reggie, Reggie..." I admit, I was a little too loud just now.

Regirock instantly understood.

The sandstorm that had been raging just moments before weakened instantly and then disappeared completely.

The Heavenly Kings were still confused about what had happened. They had just been prepared for a fierce battle. How could their opponents suddenly become as docile as cats and dogs?

Isn't it said that the Ice Regiment has the most volatile personality among the three Regiments?

On the contrary, Daigo seemed to have an epiphany, and he said:

"After checking the information when I came back last time, it looked kind of familiar. Your Pokémon really is the legendary Suicune."

When Daigo went to the Eastern Empire, the two sides exchanged their respective legends and materials. One page in particular seemed insignificant, but it ultimately left a deep impression on Daigo.

Because he had seen someone with a similar appearance with Su Yu.

The Heavenly Kings were taken aback upon hearing this.

What? What did you say, a legend?

……

……

"So, what should we do next with Regirock?"

"Recall all Pokémon except Metagross," Steven said, looking at Su Yu.

At this moment, he was more inclined to let Su Yu make the decision.

Su Yu then recounted to them the inscription he had seen in the Tower of Illusions. Upon hearing that the desert was created by Regirock, the Elite Four members were shocked.

Legends are indeed legends; given enough time, they can accomplish such miraculous things.

"No wonder this desert has continued to expand in recent years. So, the source is here." Daigo nodded and said.

Furong, who was standing to the side, asked:

"So, should we restore this place to a forest, as the inscription says?"

Daigo: "That's not really appropriate. So much time has passed; this place has long since developed a unique desert ecosystem."

"Trying to restore this place to a forest would actually cause the Pokémon in this desert to lose their home."

Su Yu nodded in agreement; it was indeed true.

As for Regirock, it's best to keep it by his side. Judging from how it turned the surrounding area into a desert when it first appeared, this Regirock is also a very dangerous type.

The three little pillars guarding the World Tree wouldn't do such a thing. It can only be said that this is due to their personalities.

However, these three from Hoenn seem to be much stronger than the three from Yggdrasil. Moreover, they appear to be the key to awakening Regigigas.

Upon hearing that Su Yu wanted to take Regirock away, Daigo, after some thought, agreed:

"That's good. With Suicune there, you don't have to worry about Regirock going on a rampage."

"Oh, right, besides that, there are two other pillar gods. Are you going to bring them to the ranch too?"

Daigo also told Su Yu the story of Regice.

After hearing this, Hupa immediately exclaimed excitedly:

"Hide and seek, hide and seek, Hoopa wants to play hide and seek with Him!"

Hoopa was thrilled to have met someone with the same interests. When he first arrived, he hid and was found by Su Yu.

"Then just teleport him over here."

Upon hearing this, Su Yu helplessly addressed Hu Pa.

After Daigo told Regice his location, Hoopa immediately threw out a light wheel, its spatial power leading directly to the island's cave.

At this moment, Regice was still sitting in the cave, counting the petals of the little flower.

Suddenly, a golden halo appeared above His head.

Hupa poked half her body out from inside and said in a crisp voice:

"Hey big guy, wanna play hide-and-seek with me?"

"Hehehe, let's play together!"

His voice was clear and crisp, just like that boy from back then.

"Beep beep pop—"

Upon hearing the sound, Regice looked up in confusion, the indicator light above his head flashing.

In the end, He also chose to enter the halo and leave.
