A month later, Regigigas's path remained unchanged, still heading directly westward the entire time.
By now, it had already left the waters of Kampuchea and arrived on the West Euro continent. This region had dozens of countries, and more than ten of them lay directly along its route.

> "Kampuchea sends congratulations, wishing West Euro nations joy in welcoming the arrival of a First-class Legendary!"
> "Nooo, stay away!"
> "What do I do? Is it too late to run now?"
> "Where exactly is Regigigas heading? It's been walking for a month now—hasn't it arrived yet?"
> "Who knows? As long as it doesn't come to my place, that's fine."
---
People around the world had been watching the live stream for a month. From the initial mix of excitement, nervousness, fear, and thrill at seeing a First-class Legendary, their emotions had now settled into calm.
After all, having watched for over a month, they no longer felt the same intensity as before.
Perhaps the ones with more heightened emotions now were the countries in West Euro, especially the nations and cities along Regigigas's path.
Still, there wasn't too much worry. Over the past month, Regigigas hadn't made any out-of-line moves—aside from walking, it just simply kept walking.
It hadn't shown any destructive tendencies, which allowed everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.
A First-class Legendary that didn't cause trouble was a good First-class Legendary. In the eyes of most people now, Regigigas was exactly that—a good First-class Legendary.
Especially when compared to Yveltal, it was practically a model among First-class Legendaries.
Regigigas: 'All thanks to my peers setting the bar low.'
On the thirty-second day, Regigigas officially made landfall in a West Euro country. All cities along its route had already been evacuated, becoming veritable ghost towns.
While walking, Regigigas consciously avoided cars left on the roads and buildings—it didn't even knock over a single trash can.
This behavior naturally earned another wave of praise.
At the same time, it led to another round of criticism against Yveltal—especially in Babath, where people cursing Yveltal were off the charts.
In the blink of an eye, another two months passed. By now, Regigigas had already crossed the entire West Euro continent and was about to enter the Western Ocean in eight days.
It looked like it still hadn't reached its destination and intended to keep moving forward.
As Regigigas officially stepped into the Western Ocean, the West Euro countries were overjoyed—they had finally sent away this ticking time bomb.
While Regigigas wasn't causing trouble now, that didn't mean it wouldn't stir things up once it reached its destination. Calling it a ticking time bomb wasn't wrong at all.
As time went on, more and more people grew curious about what Regigigas was actually trying to do. It had been traveling for three months now and was still on the move.
Julian had been keeping an eye on Regigigas's movements every day at home. Watching it enter the West Euro continent, he had thought that on such a huge landmass, it would at least stop somewhere to rest.
But instead, it stubbornly crossed the entire West Euro continent and kept going further west.
This made Julian a bit nervous, and he couldn't help but think of what Jirachi had said before.
If you go far enough west, you eventually reach east. As long as this westward line was long enough, it could indeed reach Drakoria.
Could it really end up as Jirachi had jinxed?
Julian felt a bit uneasy.
However, looking at the vast, boundless Western Ocean, the worry in his heart eased again. The Western Ocean was larger than several West Euro continents combined.
"Julian, Regigigas really seems to be heading in our direction. Do you think it's—mmph!"
Before Jirachi could finish speaking, Julian covered its mouth.
It suddenly dawned on him that this little thing was the Wish Pokémon—did its words carry a wish-granting effect?
"Jirachi, from now on, don't talk about Regigigas. Instead, say I can find money on the road." Julian hurriedly switched the topic.
Then he let go of his hand.
"It's no use, I've tried."
Jirachi shook its head dejectedly. If it could find money on the road, it would've been going to Old Man Ken's every day long ago.
For a while, it kept saying it would find money on the road, or win the lottery—but all that happened was that Celebi took its allowance to "buy" lottery tickets, then came back saying they didn't win.
In reality, Celebi never bought any tickets—it just pocketed the money.
Jirachi's growth history was closely intertwined with Celebi's influence.
"Slow~"
Slowking walked downstairs holding Nebby, who was still asleep.
After coming downstairs, Slowking turned on the music, and beautiful melodies immediately filled the air.
According to Slowking, music could promote intellectual development—especially for young Pokémon like Nebby, who were still in their infant stage.
Listening to more music could help Nebby become smarter when it grew up—at the very least, smarter than Celebi.
Celebi had no idea that, in Slowking's mind, it had already become synonymous with stupidity.
With Slowking taking care of Nebby, Julian was more than happy to enjoy some leisure.
As for food, Julian had already prepared plenty of Nebby's exclusive Pokéblocks and left them with Slowking, so that if he wasn't around, Slowking could feed it.
And Slowking even liked sprinkling some walnut powder over the Pokéblocks.
Slowking had become somewhat fixated on turning Nebby into a smart kid.
"Slowking, what's for dinner tonight?"
Julian lay lazily on the sofa, playing on his phone, speaking without even lifting his head.
"Slow~"
Slowking: "What do you want to eat?"
"No particular cravings, I'm fine with anything," Julian said.
These days, he had been staying at home the whole time, being a complete shut-in. Whenever he wanted something to eat, he only needed to tell Slowking and Love.
Of course, he couldn't eat hotpot or barbecue every day—Love would definitely not allow that.
"Slowking, I want mac 'n' cheese," Celebi said eagerly from the side.
"I want Wellington steak!" Jirachi chimed in quickly.
"Slow~"
Slowking nodded.
It then took out its phone and sent a message to Love and its little apprentice, Magearna, who were out buying ingredients, asking them to get some steak and cheese.
Slowking didn't go out itself because it needed to stay home to take care of Nebby.
Nebby was still so young, and Julian could be a bit careless. Slowking didn't feel comfortable leaving Nebby in Julian's care, especially with Celebi and Jirachi—two troublemakers with plenty of bad habits—around.
Last time, when Slowking wasn't paying attention, these two actually took Nebby to eat at Old Man Ken's. Such a young child eating junk food—weren't they afraid of ruining its stomach?
So lately, Slowking had been keeping a close eye on Nebby, even being wary of Julian. Who knew if Julian would end up teaching Nebby to play games?
Julian actually did have such an idea—adding Nebby and Slowking to the mix would make a full five-player team. When they played together, they'd definitely win.
