Chapter 1129: Eternatus

The energy factory is located beneath the Hammerlocke Stadium.

That is, inside the central castle.

Champion Dan Di stood before the grand gate, taking a deep breath.

"Let's go!"

He had no intention of standing opposite Rose; even now, his heart still hoped this was a misunderstanding.

But the premise was that he must figure out the reason why non-Energy Point Pokémon suddenly Gigantamaxed and went berserk, and stop it at its source, to prevent the disaster from expanding further.

All Baimu, who knew everything, did not spoil the plot for Champion Dan Di, merely thinking about how to explain things to Yamano upon returning.

Go out, then catch your idol?

In the game, this matter could be called a farce.

With Rose's unique influence in the Galar region, even if he truly coveted the Mythical Pokémon, yearned for Galar's eternal prosperity, couldn't he just properly arrange his subordinates to handle the aftermath and explain things clearly to his confidant Champion Dan Di?

Did he have to do it secretly behind the scenes, as if capturing a Tier-1 Deity was something unspeakable?

Yet in the end, Eternatus was still caught by the protagonist.

The whole plot inexplicably didn't quite match the overall tone of 6+, after all, a child's world emphasizes clear good and evil, there's no need to create a middle gray area.

The anime patched it by having Rose commit evil deeds—

Releasing the stockpiled Galar particles, leaving the Galar people he deeply loved to die without saving them.

Did the logic become self-consistent?

No!

It became even more ridiculous!

The anime's Rose had connections and financial resources, yet he actually couldn't store Galar particles because the warehouse he built wasn't big enough.

This thing wasn't even a stockpile explosion in the plot; the warehouse being packed full had been foreshadowed long ago.

Forcibly turning a heroic figure who led Galar to glory into a fool who took things one step at a time; Champion Dan Di was clearly an important role in the plan, yet he was only notified what to do at the very end.

Could the International Police arrest him or something?

At most they'd just invite him in for questioning!

All Baimu roasted it fiercely in his heart, and arrived with Champion Dan Di at the elevator leading to the underground energy factory.

Two Macro Cosmos employees guarded the entrance.

"Champion!"

They shuddered violently.

Champion Dan Di said in a deep voice: "Please open the elevator."

"Wait a moment, Champion. This matter requires the Chairman's permission." One of them said.

The other took out his Rotom Phone to contact Rose.

Not good!

The Champion has come knocking!

But the call inexplicably wouldn't go through; that person looked down and saw his Rotom Phone had automatically shut down?

At the same time, the elevator doors also opened.

Champion Dan Di looked at All Baimu beside him; the latter stepped into the elevator, the Polygon Phone floating at his shoulder flashing brightly.

He didn't say much, stepping into the elevator together.

The two employees hurriedly tried to stop them; the Shiny Gengar from the shadows poked its head out, using Hypnosis at close range.

"Gah~ Ga~"

"Ah..."

"Don't..."

The two collapsed limply to the ground.

Seeing this, Champion Dan Di sighed: "Looks like I've been left out of the loop."

The dignified Galar Champion, Chairman Rose's closest right-hand man, an existence on par with Secretary Oleana, actually didn't even have the qualifications to enter the energy factory.

All Baimu smiled, silently anticipating his first meeting with Eternatus.

Hum!

The elevator descended.

When it opened again, a quiet, enclosed corridor appeared before the two; walking further in, a massive floodgate blocked the way.

Champion Dan Di saw the palm-print lock beside it, "Does it need special authorization?"

"No need."

All Baimu gave the Polygon Phone a look, and it immediately began decrypting the system.

You have to know, right now it's a patched, enhanced Porygon2, fully capable of calling itself a powerful Porygon3 individual; aside from not having evolved, it's not far off from Porygon-Z.

Seconds later, a pneumatic hiss sounded, the massive floodgate opened upward, revealing the astonished researchers inside.

"Champion! How are you here!?"

Someone looked at him in disbelief.

Champion Dan Di ignored them, tilting his head up to stare at the giant sphere continuously emitting purplish-red light, his eyes blank.

"This is..."

"There seems to be a Pokémon inside."

All Baimu's words made the disordered red dots before Champion Dan Di's eyes outline a shape; it was a colossal giant, long and coiled up.

Some wanted to escort the two out, some urgently contacted Rose.

But all were stopped by Porygon2 just like before; ordinary Rotom Phones were no match for it.

In the corner.

The Rocket Trio widened their eyes.

"Why is Baimu here?"

"We're done! Boss Sakaki's mission will fail again this time!"

"Baimu's demeanor changed after becoming Champion, meow!"

"Swoosh hiss!"

Though the Rocket Trio always lost to Satoshi and barely ever won, they still kept fighting after every defeat.

Facing Baimu, they truly couldn't muster much resistance.

Having their leverage held down is one thing, knowing they can't resist is another—

All the city base outposts were destroyed by Baimu, Boss Sakaki admitted defeat, what could these few subordinates do?

How the other side found the first base outpost remains a mystery to this day.

Before the giant egg.

Under Champion Dan Di's questioning, the researchers had no choice but to reveal the information.

"Wuji… Tanta."

He muttered, grabbing the person in charge and continuing to ask: "Is it this thing that caused the light leading to Pokémon Gigantamax rampage today and before?"

Upon hearing this, everyone broke out in cold sweat.

"Speak up!"

"This."

The person in charge muttered: "Actually, it's like this……"

Luo Zhi continuously injected Galar particles into Wuji Tanta for its revival, and during this period, Wuji Tanta would also exhale some of the Galar particles it produced, like breathing.

This portion of Galar particles was too huge and chaotic to easily capture and reinject, causing energy overflow that broke through the barrier and shot into the sky.

Dan Di grew anxious: "Hurry up and stop! Do you know what chaos this has caused outside?"

"Already……can't stop it."

The person in charge said with an ugly expression: "Wuji Tanta has officially entered the recovery phase, it is drawing Galar particles with its own power, and although we keep increasing the warehouse quantity, supply still falls short."

The implication is that Wuji Tanta has become a time bomb that could explode at any moment.

Dan Di lowered his gaze slowly, thinking about what to do.

Baimu said: "Just smash this thing, then capture and seal the Wuji Tanta inside."

"How could that work! This is Galar's future!"

The person in charge clearly looked like someone brainwashed by Luo Zhi, urging Dan Di: "Since you've already come, then please, after Wuji Tanta's revival, capture and tame it!"

"Tame?"

Dan Di tilted his head to look at him.

The person in charge nodded: "As long as you master Wuji Tanta's power, the Galar region will enjoy a thousand years of glory! What the Alola region can do, we can too!"

"Huh?"

Baimu said, puzzled: "What does this have to do with the Alola region?"

The person in charge said: "You took away the legendary Lei Guan Wang of Galar, which is why the barren Alola region recovered, right? Since others can use the power of legendary Pokémon, why can't we?"

"Makes sense!"

Baimu nodded slightly.

Dan Di helplessly: "Baimu!"

"How come you also agree with him?"

Baimu smiled: "I think he's right—if Pokémon willingly exert effort, what's wrong with asking them to contribute a little to human society?"

The premise is being able to grasp it.

Some legendary Pokémon cannot be controlled by humans, and it's impossible to control them.

His gaze fell on the Mew wandering near the giant egg; normally, the cover gods in the animation rarely bond with humans, living apart from human society.

If Baimu weren't in special circumstances, having already subdued the Five Gods Pillars to become the second-generation Pharaoh would already be his limit.

Lei Guan Wang's attitude also made it very clear—

Refusing to touch any human except him—this is how the cover gods should be.

Miller Ton……

This guy is quite special.

Upon hearing Baimu's agreement, the person in charge happily said: "Exactly! Champion Baimu said something so reasonable!"

Dan Di's expression was very complex: "Baimu, do you really think that?"

"No need to think, I've already done it."

Baimu spread his hands, his tone shifting: "But one thing is one thing, the mistakes you made in reviving Wuji Tanta must definitely be settled! And how did you determine Wuji Tanta would definitely be usable by you?"

The person in charge instinctively looked toward Dan Di.

Dan Di understood everything.

His great strength gave Luo Zhi confidence; even the new Champion of neighboring Alola could successfully tame a powerful legendary Pokémon, so why can't the world champion Dan Di?

"……No matter what, let's stop it first!"

Dan Di didn't dwell on it, and understood what was most important, he told others: "Immediately evacuate the nearby crowd! After everyone is settled, then open this device!"

He wants to defeat and seal Wuji Tanta!

Other matters, we'll talk about later!

The person in charge decisively shook his head: "We must notify the CEO! This isn't something you and Baimu can decide unilaterally!"

"We acted arbitrarily..."

Champion Dan Di laughed in anger, turned to Baimu, and said: "Baimu, please escort them out."

He discovered the latter seemed experienced in "infiltration"; whether knocking down guards or forcing doors open, he handled it all with practiced ease.

"Don't worry, preparations were made long ago."

Baimu made an OK gesture, "I dispatched my five Giants, using their power to surround this central castle, forming a massive protective perimeter."

This way, it could both ensure Galleos Particles did not leak out and allow them to battle it steadily.

Champion Dan Di nodded heavily, "Good!"

The person in charge's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, "No! You can't do this! Champion Dan Di! Please talk to the Chairman! He can definitely persuade you!"

Champion Dan Di's mind was made up.

Immediately, Gengar and Porygon2 went on a killing spree, one using Hypnosis, the other using Teleport to throw people out of the castle.

The strange situation quickly attracted the attention of the Boxing Arena's local power broker.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Chibana grabbed a hypnotized person, but couldn't wake them after a long time; seeing their attire and the emblem on their chest, "Maloco Energy..."

Is there a problem at the underground factory?

He hurriedly ran to the elevator, released his Steelix upon reaching the bottom, then followed the sound inside.

Soon, Chibana saw Champion Dan Di's figure, "Champion Dan Di! Why are you here——what is this?"

"Chibana?"

Champion Dan Di turned at the sound, saying solemnly: "A Gigantamax Pokemon rampage incident occurred during the day, are you aware?"

"Of course! I even resolved one, you mean it caused this?" Chibana looked up at the giant egg flashing with purple electricity.

In the corner.

Baimu was communicating with the Team Rocket Trio.

"How did Sakaki know about the Ultra Wormhole situation?"

He had always been very curious how Sakaki managed to have informants everywhere, acquaintances in every region.

The Team Rocket Trio all shook their heads.

"Don't know! We just came because Boss Sakaki ordered us to!"

Their tone was like picking up eggs early in the morning.

Baimu said: "Anyway, you can't meddle in this. Go back and tell Sakaki I was involved, he won't blame you."

"Oh oh oh!"

Musashi couldn't wait to rest early.

They had been here a long time, but only doing odd jobs, never getting a chance to approach the giant egg, instead getting exhausted enough.

Kojiro then said: "Then thanks for your hard work!"

Speaking quite politely.

Only Meowth hesitated for a while, asking: "Baimu, how is that guy doing, nya?"

"Who? You mean Alolan Meowth?"

Seeing it nod, Baimu smiled: "Go follow its account on PokeTube... right, the name is Champion Ore's Cat, watch its vlog and you'll understand."

Afterwards, the three were sent out by Porygon2.

Meowth buried its head scrolling through the vlog, soon jealous to the point of distortion.

While it was still living a life of feast or famine, Alolan Meowth had lived the luxurious life it dreamed of!

Mere material enjoyment would be fine, but Alolan Meowth was also especially popular with all kinds of cute Pokemon!

Damn it!

That guy actually dares to run a harem!

Meowth nearly crushed its phone from jealousy.

Too envious!

Meow wants to live that kind of life too!

Meowth isn't afraid Alolan Meowth has it hard, just afraid it really drives a Range Rover.

Musashi and Kojiro watched from the side, the former very interested in the beauty salon, the latter glancing twice then looking away.

In terms of luxury, who can match his family?

The old Kanto nobility are experts in eating, drinking, and playing, but Kojiro long ago tired of that life.

He only wants to be an ordinary person who struggles from zero.

After all, besides tens of trillions in assets, tens of thousands of acres of land, and dozens of companies, what else can his family have? What are they?

Nothing!

Suddenly.

Cries of alarm rose from the surroundings.

The three subconsciously looked up, and saw five differently shaped Regis hovering in the sky encircling the castle, pale blue light enveloping it.

"What happened?"

"Call the police!"

"Find someone to notify Mr. Chibana!"

"Are those five the legendary Giants? Champion Ore's Pokemon?"

The crowd chattered noisily.

Miyamato City.

While having dinner with Xiao Zhi, Luo Ze received the news, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed, then gradually relaxed.

"I understand."

He wiped his mouth and said to Xiao Zhi: "Sorry, I have some matters to attend to, I'll be away for a moment."

"Please go ahead."

Xiao Zhi nodded politely.

A few minutes later, Luo Ze and Olivia boarded a helicopter heading for Quan Guan City, their expressions especially grim.

But when they approached as quickly as possible, the familiar dragon's roar had already spread throughout Quan Guan City!

"Wuu ang——!!!"

Wu Ji Tai Na, born into the world!
