Chapter 1333: King of Giants
The auditorium erupted in a burst of applause.
Brandon clapped along, saying: "The Orre Champion is indeed well-deserved; I benefited a lot from the battle with you."
"You praise me too much, same here."
All Baimu was polite, and seeing that he didn't mean to send out more Pokémon, asked: "I heard that you and Regigigas..."
Brandon was slightly startled, then smiled and waved his hand, "The King of Giants has been sleeping for a long time, and furthermore, it hasn't reached the point where it would fight for me."
All Baimu felt a bit regretful.
He originally thought that since he couldn't fight Regigigas in the Hisui era, maybe he could after coming back, but it was a great disappointment.
"Can I see it?" He thought that if he couldn't fight, just seeing it would be fine, right?
This small wish could naturally be satisfied.
More importantly, Brandon felt that All Baimu, as a Trainer who also mastered the power of giants, could guard Regigigas, who was sleeping in the Snowpoint Temple, with him.
"Everyone! Today's competition ends here!"
He announced loudly to the auditorium.
The staff of the Battle Pyramid understood and persuaded the surrounding Trainers to leave one after another.
The Trainers were naturally unfulfilled, but they didn't stay shamelessly, and spontaneously gathered together to discuss the battle just now.
"Regieleki and Regidrago are really powerful!"
"Do they have brothers? Just like the Champion and the Pharaoh's Regirock, I really want to capture one!"
"Dream on!"
"Don't you want to?"
"This..."
Almost all Trainers had a yearning for naturally powerful Pokémon, whether they wanted to capture them to enhance their own combat power or defeat them to overcome their own strength.
Legendary Pokémon were always yearned for by Trainers all over the world, but very few could truly gain their recognition.
Brandon led All Baimu to heal the three Lei Jiaisi in his hand first.
There was no difference in healing the three Lei Jiaisi.
Throwing Lei Jiaisi into the snow, putting Regirock into the soil, and giving Registeel some metal was enough to let them recover as before.
"Regieleki, it needs electrical energy, right?"
Brandon generously let the electric pillar absorb the electricity of the Battle Pyramid; All Baimu originally wanted to refuse, but couldn't resist his strong request.
No way.
The electric pillar went to the energy room of the Battle Pyramid with tears in its eyes, and in just half an hour, it ate nearly ten million in electricity bills from Brandon.
Fortunately, All Baimu had reminded it privately, which prevented it from sucking it all up.
Brandon didn't care much about this, even when his subordinates reported to him in panic, he just said generously: "This is the appetite a 'giant' should have! Don't be nervous!"
He asked All Baimu again: "What does Regidrago need? Just mention it! I have everything here!"
"Really no need."
All Baimu declined again.
The dragon pillar was the biggest of the five Lei Jiaisi, and because the elements that made it up were not real substances, it almost couldn't obtain energy from the outside world.
Of course, it didn't need to.
This guy's core was almost equivalent to "infinite" energy, and any injury could be quickly self-healed by leaving battle.
Why leave battle?
Because it mainly relied on 【Rest】 to recover health, and at the same time, it couldn't be like the Poryphone—splitting its heart into two, and energy into two.
So this guy slept very fiercely; whenever its facial dot matrix flashed like an alarm, it was sleeping to recover health.
But external charging was also possible for Regidrago. Just give it enough remains of Dragon-type Pokémon.
Just like its appearance—the dragon bone upper and lower jaws that combined to form its hands.
It was just that this way of eating "same kind" corpses to recover energy was too un-anime Pokémon, so All Baimu never considered letting it do so.
Brandon didn't force it either, observing Regieleki and Regidrago with great interest.
As the Trainer who mastered the power of giants earliest, he had also thought about whether there would be a fourth, fifth, or even more types of "giants" besides Ice, Rock, and Steel.
It was a pity that he searched for many years and couldn't find them.
It wasn't until the Orre League announced that legendary giants would participate in the League qualification challenge, and All Baimu sent out the electric pillar and dragon pillar in the first Orre Tournament, that he realized his guess was correct.
There really were a fourth and fifth type of "giant" in the world!
Since that was the case, there must also exist "giants" other than these five types; thinking of this, Brandon's mood to take risks kept sprouting.
He realized it was time for him to leave the Snowpoint Temple and embark on a new journey.
It was just that he was still a bit worried about Regigigas...
How to persuade All Baimu to help with this favor?
Brandon suddenly thought that the other party, as a Champion, might be even busier than him, so he gave up.
Just find some Trainers to guard it.
Brandon was not short of money.
As a world-famous explorer and archaeologist, Brandon was almost as famous as Cynthia, but the difference was that he would collect and sell treasures left by ancient civilizations.
He was a character like Indiana Jones in "Indiana Jones."
In addition, the Battle Pyramid belonged to the Battle Frontier, and the boss of the Frontier was named Scott, a top tycoon in the Pokémon world.
Ash was fooled by him to challenge the Battle Frontier, and finally successfully won the Frontier championship and almost became a Frontier Brain.
In Diamond & Pearl, Paul learned that Ash had won against Brandon and almost broke his defense, questioning the authenticity on the spot.
Then he was bloodily abused by Brandon.
However, Paul challenging Brandon was mainly to avenge his brother, believing that his brother gave up being a Trainer and transferred to a Breeder because he lost to Brandon.
It was a pity that he was too immature, and the Pokémon under his hand were no match for the three Lei Jiaisi at all.
"By the way, your Lei Jiaisi and Registeel, don't you want to let them out for some air?"
Brandon turned his head and asked.
All Baimu heard this and said: "They..."
To tell the truth, he was afraid that Regirock would be beaten, which was why he didn't let Lei Jiaisi and Registeel out.
But thinking that sooner or later they would have to go through this.
He took out the ball and released them.
Lei Jiaisi and Registeel appeared, unexpectedly they didn't go to find trouble with Regirock.
All Baimu was a bit puzzled at first, but soon understood the reason.
—In front of outsiders, especially their own kind, beating up their brother was too indecent.
Lei Jiaisi and Registeel were quite particular about decency; many times they would angrily hammer Regirock, also because it was not decent enough.
But All Baimu could see that once the rock pillar returned to Mount Bai Yin, there would be a disaster!
"Buzz buzz buzz..."
The rock pillar itself realized it too; it "looked" at its brothers while buried in the soil like a radish, appearing a bit guilty.
—
All Baimu and Brandon chatted in the reception room.
During the period, it was inevitable to mention the purpose of coming to Snowpoint City.
Upon learning that it was related to the snowy night ghost, Brandon said: "I actually investigated this, but didn't have any gains. It's highly likely, just like the report in your hand, that it's Darkrai's doing."
Although Darkrai was a Dark-type Pokémon, like Ghost-type Pokémon, it was extremely good at appearing and disappearing, and without a few professional pieces of equipment, it couldn't be found.
Plus the urban legend was limited to legends, and there hadn't really been any child kidnapping cases, so Brandon didn't bother.
"Do you want to capture Darkrai?"
"No, I just want to know if it has any stone plates."
Facing Brandon's question, All Baimu said his ultimate goal very straightforwardly.
He believed that with the other party's character, he wouldn't hide or forcibly seize the stone plates.
"Stone plates? Are they the stone plates that Arceus used to create the world in legends?"
Brandon was very surprised, then excitedly stood up and said: "In that case, you must have collected a lot, right? Can you show me?"
All Baimu took out the Prison Bottle and said while manipulating the power: "Can you see it?"
"I see it!"
Brandon saw the light he was holding, "Is this a stone plate?"
All Baimu shook his head, "The stone plates have already been fused into the Prison Bottle; if you want to see them, you can only 'see' them with spiritual power."
"Spiritual power?"
Brandon was a bit confused; he could understand if you said using high-tech equipment or something, but spiritual power?
All Baimu said: "That's right, you should know the move 'Mind Eye', right?"
"...... This is troublesome."
Brandon scratched his head; although he was a legendary explorer and had dabbled in spiritual power, it didn't mean he possessed relevant power himself.
In the end, he could only say regretfully: "It seems I don't have this eye for it."
The topic of stone plates ended here.
Brandon indicated that he would help keep an eye on Darkrai's matter; to be honest, he was also very curious about the story of the snowy night ghost.
After the five Lei Jiaisi finished self-healing, the two went out to the Snowpoint Temple, just happening to meet Cynthia coming out from inside.
"All Baimu~ Mr. Brandon! Has your giant exchange battle ended?" Cynthia asked with a smile.
Brandon looked at All Baimu, appearing very surprised that the two were actually coming together.
He responded first: "Long time no see, Champion Cynthia. You should be able to see the relevant video online very soon."
"Then I'll look forward to it."
Cynthia said with a smile: "Are you guys preparing to?"
All Baimu said: "I requested Mr. Brandon to take me to see Regigigas; you want to come too?"
"Of course!"
Cynthia was naturally eager.
She hadn't seen Regigigas just now, and the room where this King of Giants was located couldn't be entered normally.
Thus, two became three.
Compared to the Hisui era, the interior of the Snowpoint Temple now was more broken and dilapidated. The past mechanisms and stone carvings had all disappeared, leaving only the empty hall and the round pillars supporting the dome.
The temple was quiet, without any traces of people or Pokémon activities.
Brandon shouted: "Shrine Maiden! Are you there?"
"If it's the Shrine Maiden, she should have gotten off work already."
Cynthia said: "When I came two hours ago, she was already packing her things."
All Baimu thought he heard wrong, "Get off work? Can a Shrine Maiden get off work?"
"Of course, according to her, she's just working part-time."
Cynthia smiled: "She's a high school student, she has classes in the afternoon!"
High school student...
"The Girl Next Door is a Divine Beast"?
He felt that letting the Poryphone write such a light novel would be very popular.
All Baimu muttered to himself.
The three passed through the long corridor.
Many scenes were both familiar and strange to him, vaguely able to be compared with the previous ones.
Finally, they arrived in front of a huge door.
The center of the door was blurry, and it seemed there had been some kind of pattern before.
All Baimu knew it was the patterns of the three attributes of Steel, Rock, and Ice; he had seen them before.
Brandon looked at him and said: "To open this door, Regirock, Lei Jiaisi, and Registeel need to be present at the same time."
Saying that, Brandon threw the Poké Ball.
Bang bang bang!
Light shone.
The three Lei Jiaisi appeared behind the three of them; Cynthia turned around to see them, and said to All Baimu: "Do you want to release yours too?"
"... That's fine."
All Baimu didn't hesitate, directly sending out all five Lei Jiaisi.
After a series of flashes, the five giants of different heights appeared, crowding the passage full.
Brandon only realized at this time that All Baimu's three Lei Jiaisi seemed to be exceptionally large, each a head taller than his three Lei Jiaisi and even the electric pillar and dragon pillar.
He hadn't compared their heights carefully before, nor had he let them get so close, so he didn't react for a moment.
Cynthia was also quite surprised, "Are there size differences between giants?"
Could it be that Regigigas wasn't molded from a template?
All Baimu said: "They can freely enlarge and shrink; please control it."
The three Lei Jiaisi were very cooperative, shrinking to a height similar to their peers.
Brandon fell into silence.
How did he not know there was such a thing?
He looked at his three Lei Jiaisi and asked: "Can you guys do it too?"
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
"Doo doo doo——"
"Gee gee gee——"
"You didn't ask."
This last one was the Poryphone's translation.
Brandon rubbed his hair in distress, "It seems my understanding of you guys is still not enough!"
"Buzz/Doo/Gee——"
The three surrounded him, raising their arms and shaking them as if comforting him.
It could be seen that Brandon and his three Lei Jiaisi had a very good relationship.
At this time, the door lit up with dazzling light, and then a rumble was heard, and the sound of machinery came from somewhere, slowly lifting the door up.
Inside, a large hall was revealed to the three.
Brandon said: "Regigigas is sleeping in the throne deep inside; ordinary movements won't disturb it, so no need—"
Before the words fell.
Two rows of light lit up deep in the hall.
Followed by a cry similar to the Lei Jiaisi, but even more magnificent.
"Hum-hum-hum—Lei! Ji! Qi! Ka! Sss~~!"
"Regigigas woke up!?"
Brandon's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly walked in with his three Lei Jiaisi; he was afraid that some accident had occurred, leading to Regigigas's awakening.
The fact was also an accident.
Only to see Regigigas take heavy steps, like a robot that had just started, walking toward the door with a stutter.
The light illuminated its upper body, revealing its huge figure that was snow-white and printed with colorful patterns.
"Lei! Ji! Qi! Ka! Sss~~!"
It skipped Brandon, who was walking toward it, and went straight to All Baimu's location, while swinging its arms mercilessly.
Golden light shrouded its thick arms.
All Baimu retreated quickly, and the five Lei Jiaisi behind him moved forward to protect him behind them.
"Why is it like this again? Does Regigigas have any personal grudge against you? It had to fight in Crown Tundra, and now it has to fight again!"
The Poryphone screamed.
All Baimu didn't know the reason; he couldn't be that Regigigas had a grudge against Arceus and counted the grudge on him, right?
That wasn't right either!
In the movie, Regigigas had even seen Giratina; why didn't it beat Giratina?
Just as All Baimu was puzzled, Regigigas's fist stopped.
It stopped in front of the five Lei Jiaisi, and the "eyes" like buttons on its chest flickered.
"Lei~ Ji~ Qi~ Ka~ Sss~!"
It stuttered and turned its head to leave. ===== CHAPTER 1334 =====
