Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

From the corner, Zoroya, with a cunning glint in his eyes, slipped into Hunter J's shadow after receiving a signal from Xia Yan.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Ash and his friends were unable to open their eyes due to the pungent and irritating smoke.

It wasn't until the fire-breathing dragon flapped its wings and dispersed all the smoke that it finally recovered.

Only Plantina, who had always been by Xia Yan's side, escaped unharmed.

Because Xia Yan's superpowers naturally protected it as well.

This result greatly excited Xiao Guang and Xiao Gang.

However, Xiao Zhi, whose body was different from ordinary people, was the first to recover after a few simple coughs.

That's physical fitness.

Xia Yan once suspected that Xiao Zhi in this world might really be that "super rookie".

or.

If Regigigas revives later, should we let Ash go up and give it a punch first?

He might just blow him up with one punch.

Xia Yan considered the feasibility of this matter.

However, when the goddess beside Ash saw the two completely shattered pillars, her face turned pale and she staggered, almost falling over.

"The Divine Pillar..."

Fortunately, Xiao Gang helped him up in time.

"Miss Shenzi, I will definitely protect you..."

puff--

He had only spoken halfway through his sentence.

The sudden appearance of the wicked frog dealt Xiao Gang a "fatal blow".

"I...I...I didn't this time..."

Poor Xiao Gang, he suffered another serious injury for no reason.

Ash, Dawn, and the others were already used to Brock's predicament.

Kamishiro's complexion wasn't very good either.

"Were the two divine pillars destroyed? In that case, Regigigas's slumber has been interrupted."

Then Xia Yan walked towards the altar.

Instead of immediately approaching the Light Stone in the center of the altar, he reached out and placed his hand on the only steel pillar that was still standing next to it.

Close your eyes.

The power of waveguides resides in the heart.

But soon.

Xia Yan opened his eyes.

His expression was somewhat strange.

"What's wrong, Xia Yan?" Kamishiro asked.

"No."

Xia Yan exerted a little force with his palm, and his superpower was activated. The only steel pillar that was still standing was pushed down by his power and crashed to the ground.

"this....."

Xia Yan's sudden behavior left everyone somewhat at a loss.

"These three pillars are not the legendary three divine pillars, but only contain a portion of their power. Now that two of them have been destroyed, the basic structure has been destroyed, so it makes no difference whether they are there or not."

His wave-guiding power did not detect any fluctuations in thought within the steel pillar.

This also explains why Hunter J was able to destroy the other two pillars so easily.

Simultaneously.

Because of his previous trip to Ein Okto, Xia Yan had some understanding of things like barriers and formations.

"In other words..."

Kamishiro did not suspect Xia Yan's behavior at all, but simply followed his train of thought.

"Hmm." Xia Yan nodded slightly, looking at the Light Stone in the center of the altar, which was flashing with an intermittent light. "Regigigas is about to awaken."

Upon hearing this...

The expressions of Shinji, Shinji, and others changed drastically.

"Regichikas? What's that?"

Ash stared blankly at Pikachu.

"Pikachu~~"

Pikachu shrugged.

You ask me, who do I ask?

However, by this time, the divine child had recovered and was still able to explain to them.

"Legend has it that a volcano in Xuefeng City suddenly erupted, engulfing all the surrounding mountains and forests."

Kamishiro added, "It was also at that time that an ancient giant appeared in the volcano. It used materials such as glaciers, rocks, and steel to create three ancient giants that looked very similar to it: Regice, Regirock, and Registeel."

Miss Miko nodded. "With the help of the power of the three divine pillars, Regigigas quelled the erupting volcano, protected Snowpeak City, and fell into a deep sleep within the Snowpeak Temple."

"But there is another theory that the volcano that erupted at that time was not just the volcano in Snowpeak City, but a volcano that covered an area that was still a continent at that time. Regigigas, by its own strength, dragged the continent, which formed the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Kalos that we know today."

Kamishiro told a different version of the Sakamoto legend.

"That's true," said the goddess, not denying the legend.

After listening to their stories...

Xiao Zhi and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

A giant dragging the continent?

What immense power that is!

Now, is that terrifying sleeping giant about to awaken?

And will they be the first to face that terrifying giant?

Everyone looked toward Xia Yan on the altar.

Thank goodness.

At the very front was Teacher Xia Yan.

Moreover, Regigigas, which protected the continent, should be a friendly Pokémon, right?

Just as they turned their gazes towards him, Xia Yan had just finished listening to the descriptions of the Divine Child and the Divine Era.

He shrugged and added, "Indeed. But don't you ever think about why the continent, which was once a single entity, eventually fell apart and was dragged along by Regigigas?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

"Why?" Xiao Zhi, the best straight man, quickly asked.

Xia Yan turned his head with a smile and said, "Because Regigigas smashed me to pieces with one punch."

Xiaozhi: "..."

One punch to crush him?

Boom!

Like a thunderclap.

Ash and his friends, who were still immersed in the astonishing legend, were startled and shuddered.

When the light from the Radiant Stone flickered to its extreme, the enormous stone suddenly shattered.

A sudden, azure halo appeared.

"Chicas!"

A voice, sounding mechanical yet clearly filled with anger, rang out.

The ancient giant Regigigas, as large as a small mountain, suddenly appeared in everyone's sight.

Looking at the Regigigas that resembled a hill, Xia Yan's lips twitched.

really.

Illustrated guides are all lies.

You're telling me this is only 3.7 meters?!

Having seen three Regigigas, Xia Yan has never seen a Regigigas shorter than five meters.

even.

Previously in Hoenn, the three Ancient Titans that Steven controlled—Regice, Regirock, and Registeel—were all at least three meters tall.

I am afraid.

Only the three "pirated" ones from Age of Gods are more in line with the Pokédex description.

"Reggie—!"

"

Regigigas raised his arms, and an orange light shimmered from the ends of his arms.

"Darkrai, sleep it!"

Xia Yan said as he steadily pulled Prandina away from him.

Regigigas: I just woke up, and now I'm going back to sleep?!
