Chapter 191: VS Regirock! Jing He: Let Me Test Your Strength
Crack!
A massive fissure suddenly split open beneath their feet, quickly spreading outward.
Jing He and Daigo rapidly retreated.
Bang!
A heavy, rock-like figure crashed to the ground, and an ancient giant guardian appeared before them.
Its body was colored in shades of gray and orange rock, giving it a humanoid shape with two arms and two legs.
However, the "H"-shaped pattern on its head glowed with a dangerous red light, like a beacon.
This was one of the guardians of the World Tree, the Rock Colossus of the Three Pillars, Regirock!
Just standing there, it exuded an overwhelming presence.
"This is..." Daigo's eyes flickered with excitement, "the Rock Giant, Regirock!"
As an avid rock enthusiast, he often dug up ancient stone tablets or explored old ruins. While not as knowledgeable as Cynthia, he was still a competent archaeologist.
He was well-versed in the legendary Three Pillars, especially the Rock-type Regirock and the Steel-type Registeel.
He looked at Regirock as if it were a perfect work of art.
Jing He glanced at him and nodded slightly, "Hmm, a giant that's only two meters tall."
This brought him some relief.
Regigigas had created many of these pillars in the past.
One could say that every region had its own set of three, and there might even be more.
Among them, the most powerful were undoubtedly the three that Daigo would eventually awaken from their seals, battling alongside him against Groudon and Kyogre for 22 days.
Even the three that slept alongside Regigigas in the Snowy Peak Temple might not match them.
The three in the Hoenn Ruins were much taller than two meters.
While size doesn't always equate to strength, for a "giant," it can be a useful reference point.
This Regirock, being only two meters tall, might be manageable for Daigo.
"Regi!!!"
Regirock roared, its red eyes glowing dangerously as it swung its arms, transforming them into thick, sharp rock spikes and charging at the two.
Rock Tomb!
It's no wonder trainers are in danger when they encounter wild Pokemon in the wild.
Even a rock like Regirock knows to attack the trainers first!
No honor in battle!
"Metagross!"
Without waiting for Jing He's command, Daigo called out his Pokemon, his eyes stern.
Hum—
A white Metagross appeared in front of them, its massive pincers crossing and glowing with a bright silver light as it struck back at Regirock with force.
Bang!!
"Daigo has grown so much in this short time."
They say that near-legendary Pokemon are hard to train, but if you can persist and bring them to their final stage, their strength will skyrocket.
Daigo's signature shiny Metagross was already far superior to most Gym Leaders' main Pokemon.
Perhaps it wouldn't be long before Daigo could challenge the Elite Four.
Jing He marveled at the growth, not just his own but also that of his companions.
After the initial clash, Regirock and Metagross separated.
Clearly, Metagross was at a disadvantage.
"Lucario!"
Lucario, standing nearby, threw a deep blue energy ball at Regirock, its expression serious.
Feeling the hostile Aura waves emanating from Regirock and failing to communicate, it chose to act.
At the same time, Jing He also joined the fray.
He threw out three Poke Balls and his Gengar.
Four Pokemon, all at once!
This seemed to be the first time Jing He had commanded four Pokemon simultaneously.
"Poison, Reflect!"
"Swords Dance and... Hydro Pump!"
Despite calling out four moves at once, each Pokemon knew exactly what to do.
This was the bond between a trainer and their Pokemon.
"Lucario..."
Lucario sensed the deep connection between Jing He and his four Pokemon, even seeing the Aura bonds between them.
Daigo, from his different perspective, perceived something entirely different.
Depletion, defense, enhancement, and short-term suppression.
Each Pokemon had a specific role!
"Gengar!"
Gengar emerged from Regirock's shadow, grinning wickedly as it launched a Toxic attack.
Lapras' eyes glowed with Psychic energy, creating invisible barriers layer by layer in front of the Pokemon.
Machamp put down its hammer, its body resonating with a metallic sound.
"Dratini!"
Dratini took a deep breath, and a torrent of water erupted, drenching Regirock's face!
Splash—
"Regi..."
Regirock shook its head.
If it were capable of rational thought, it would surely be complaining.
Who's not showing honor in battle now?!
"Metagross, one more time, Meteor Mash!"
Bang!!
Regirock, just hit by a Hydro Pump, now faced a hard, unyielding fist.
But this was only the beginning.
Gengar, Lapras, Dratini, Metagross, and Lucario took turns attacking.
While many of the attacks didn't cause significant damage, their coordination and teamwork created a greater effect.
For example, Lapras' ice slowed Regirock's movements, allowing Lucario's Aura Sphere to hit more accurately.
With Misty Dragon's "Hydro Pump" obscuring Regirock's vision, Gigalith delivered a powerful punch.
"Are we good now?"
Jing He looked at Forretress.
Facing him was a Forretress with its arms crossed over its waist.
"Chirp! (｀ヘ;)ゝ"
Forretress, now fully charged with "Swords Dance," grabbed its hammer.
"Very good."
Jing He smiled.
He then commanded again:
"Vulpix, assist!"
"Oooh~~"
Vulpix, without hesitation, emitted a white light that merged into Forretress's body.
Forretress felt incredibly powerful at that moment!
"Minior, give it a boost."
"Yin-oo!"
Minior nodded vigorously.
Its mouth suddenly puffed up.
Forretress stood in front of it, holding the hammer behind its back with a serious expression.
Strands of frost intertwined with bright silver light, swirling around the hammer.
"Hydro Pump!"
Rushing water—
The rapid flow of water granted Forretress incredible speed, while the frost on the hammer froze and blocked most of the water.
With this power, Forretress swung its hammer and dashed toward Regirock.
Under Regirock's stunned gaze, the massive hammer came down with a heavy thud.
Along with it, Gigalith's glowing, hard fist.
Boom!!
Regirock was instantly blasted away!
"Chirp!"
Forretress, after landing, bared its teeth and rubbed its lower back.
It had to be said, the tactic of using "Hydro Pump" for a speed boost wasn't something anyone could come up with.
A famous person once said, speed is power.
The speed granted by "Hydro Pump" further enhanced Forretress's explosive power.
However, after a brief grimace, Forretress grinned mischievously.
It quietly hid a palm-sized grayish-white stone.
Jing He had said that only items from enemies who actively attacked could be taken as spoils.
"Don't stand there, get back quickly, we haven't won yet!" Jing He shouted.
"Chirp?"
Forretress, after a brief hesitation, hurriedly ran back with its hammer.
"Teacher, we can't even beat this one?" Daimu frowned.
Jing He nodded.
Looking at Regirock, which had staggered back to its feet after being blasted away.
It wasn't just that they couldn't beat it.
Even controlling it was extremely difficult.
The earlier control was only because Regirock hadn't fully reacted and was taken by surprise.
"Regirock, as a guardian, receives a lot of energy from the World Tree," Jing He explained.
"Then what are we fighting?" Daimu asked.
Jing He glanced at him.
Who was the one who, upon first seeing Regirock, got excited like a three-year-old who saw a toy?
"Nothing," he shrugged, "I just wanted to test if you could handle it alone."
Daimu: "??"
"As a teacher, even though I believe in your strength, I need to ensure your safety before entrusting this place to you," Jing He explained.
The test revealed that Daimu, with everyone's help, would at least be safe.
The three pillars guarding the World Tree weren't as strong as to be insane.
Of course, this was just the first line of defense of the World Tree.
"What about the other two?" Daimu asked, not without worry.
Was the teacher planning to face the remaining Regice and Registeel alone?
Jing He smiled.
"Don't worry, I called for backup."
"Backup?" Daimu was taken aback.
Could anyone else navigate the mist around the World Tree?
Jing He took out his phone and glanced at it.
"By my calculations, they should be here about now."
As he spoke,
"Regirock!!"
Regirock, standing up, roared angrily, thoroughly enraged by the continuous attacks.
However,
A sharp command came from the distance.
"Garchomp, Dragon Rush!"
"Roar—!!"
With a terrifying roar, a Garchomp clad in a blue-purple dragon's armor descended from the sky with a fierce aura.
Boom!!
The newly risen Regirock was once again blasted away.
Regirock: %@￥&
"Did you make it in time?"
Cynthia walked forward, glanced at the uninjured Jing He, then looked at the fallen Regirock.
"Right on time."
Jing He nodded.
The backup he mentioned was none other than the late-arriving Cynthia.
And with her, the reluctant golden-haired girl, Caitlin!
After all, it was Cynthia who had first asked about the city of Rota.
However, due to some reasons, she was delayed and missed the festival.
When Jing He sought help, they were just about to reach Eterna City.
The mist surrounding the World Tree was indeed impenetrable to ordinary people, but Cynthia's Lucario's Aura wasn't weak.
Plus, the marks left by Gengar along the way made things easier.
Now, one person for each.
No one would fight over it.
Jing He nodded in satisfaction.
Cynthia's strength was undeniable.
Caitlin, with her own psychic abilities, was likely as strong as N in wild battles, far surpassing regular combat.
Thinking ahead, if they all became Champions and Elite Four, a simple phone call to gather them would be a scene Jing He couldn't help but imagine.
