"I didn't expect there to be a ruin here too. I just don't know what kind of ruin it is."
Gloria looked around curiously. At the moment, she really still couldn't tell what kind of ruin this was.
But Gloria had instincts. This ruin definitely wasn't simple.
"Mr. Damian, do you know this ruin?"
Gloria looked at Damian. Since Damian and the others had also entered the ruins, maybe he knew the origin of this place.
"I do know a little."
Damian didn't deny it. After all, at this point, it wasn't like he could just kick Gloria out.
"Gloria, have you heard the story of the Legendary Giants?"
Damian stepped forward, looking at the stone statues in the center of the ruins as he asked with a smile.
"The Legendary Giants? You mean the three Pokémon, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel?"
Gloria thought for a moment and answered like that.
Caitlin and the other two girls also nodded. That was indeed the common impression people had of the Legendary Giants.
Especially Brandon from the Hoenn Region. Recently, word had spread again that he had found Regice.
He had now found and caught all three Legendary Giants, which had also made Brandon famous around the world.
But Dawn had already guessed that the Legendary Giants might not stop at those three, because Damian had previously said he was bringing them to find new "Legendary Giants."
"That's right, but in fact the Legendary Giants aren't limited to just those three, Regirock and the others."
Damian chuckled softly.
At that, Gloria froze.
"The Legendary Giants are also called the Colossal Pokémon. Legend says Regigigas used rock, glaciers, and lava to imitate its own form and manufactured these three Pokémon—Regirock, Regice, and Registeel."
"In ancient times, the people of the Hoenn Region survived with the help of these three Pokémon. But they also feared their power, so they sealed them away, waiting for brave people of later generations, people full of hope for the future, to break the seal."
Damian said slowly.
Caitlin and the other three listened intently. Who wouldn't be interested in a legendary story, especially one this detailed?
"But in fact, Regigigas didn't just manufacture Regirock and the others. After making those three Pokémon, Regigigas also used Electric and Dragon energy crystals to make two more Legendary Giants."
"However, their ending was the same as that of their 'big brothers.' The people of ancient Crown Tundra also feared their power, so they sealed these two Legendary Giants as well."
Damian looked at the stone statues in the center, his tone half-amused, half-mocking, yet carrying a bit of emotion.
Yeah, these "Legendary Giants" really had it rough. Just because people feared their power, they had been sealed since ancient times.
In truth, there were quite a few Pokémon in the Pokémon world that had been sealed. For example, Spiritomb. Or the four Ruinous Pokémon of Paldea. Or Necrozma in Ultra Megalopolis.
However, Spiritomb and the Ruinous Pokémon were, in a sense, getting what they deserved, since they had all done plenty of evil—especially the Ruinous Pokémon.
The Ruinous Pokémon were born when various objects absorbed negative emotions. They were born with an extremely heavy concentration of negative consciousness. Once awakened, they would bring disaster, so being sealed wasn't strange.
But the Legendary Giants were truly innocent. According to the lore, in ancient times, the three Legendary Giants, including Regirock, had helped the humans of that era a great deal. Yet they were still sealed because people feared their power.
Regidrago and Regieleki were probably in about the same situation.
As for Necrozma... well, the darkness of human nature didn't need saying.
Damian actually really wanted to know how the people of ancient times managed to seal these Legendary Pokémon.
But then again, ancient Pokémon society had a profession called Pokémon tamer, so maybe it wasn't that strange.
Because according to the story of the Ruinous Pokémon, the king of the Paldea Empire had invited Pokémon tamers to suppress the Ruinous Pokémon and seal them.
As for Necrozma...
Emmm...
Ultra Megalopolis really didn't have Pokémon tamers, but their technology was so advanced that it could even cross time and space. Sneaking up on Necrozma, stealing its light, and then seizing the chance to crazily seal Necrozma was also possible.
All in all, this world really was amazing.
"So, Mr. Damian, what do you mean?"
Gloria seemed to understand.
"That's right. This ruin is the prison of Regidrago and Regieleki."
Damian nodded, confirming Gloria's guess.
"!!!"
Gloria's eyes lit up. A prison for Legendary Giants!
That meant if the seal here was broken, she'd also have a chance to catch a Legendary Pokémon.
Wasn't that exactly what Brandon had done?
But how was the seal supposed to be broken? And besides, this news came from Mr. Damian.
Gloria felt a little regretful, but not too disappointed. After all, what wasn't hers would never really be hers.
Damian glanced at Gloria and could probably guess her thoughts from her expression.
Still, Damian had no intention of giving one of the Legendary Giants to Gloria. It wasn't that he couldn't bear to.
If he could trade one Legendary giantsfor a potential talent like Gloria joining Team Rocket, Damian would be overjoyed.
But the key was that Dawn and Serena were still here.
Before even joining the organization, giving Gloria a Legendary Giant first—such an unfair move—Serena would probably feel uncomfortable about it too.
Though with Serena's current affection for him, at most it would just leave her a little unhappy.
But Damian felt there wasn't much need for that.
And judging by Gloria's attitude, she wasn't resistant to Team Rocket at all. In fact, she had quite a bit of goodwill toward it. If he invited Gloria to join Team Rocket, the chances of her agreeing were very high.
"Mr. Damian, do you know how to break the seal?"
Gloria asked curiously. She was very interested in these two Legendary Giants she had never heard of before.
"I don't. But there's another way."
Damian curved his lips. An Ultra Ball opened, and Shadow Mewtwo appeared at Damian's side.
"Mewtwo, scoop those two up."
Damian said to Shadow Mewtwo. A mere seal wasn't enough to stop him.
Shadow Mewtwo said nothing. Its creepy eyes, burning with deep purple light, shimmered slightly, and psychic power quickly expanded to scan the entire ruin.
Soon, Shadow Mewtwo locked onto its targets. Its gaze fell on the stone statues ahead, and purple light lit up in its palm.
Boom~!
Shadow Mewtwo slammed a hand onto the floor. Deep purple psychic ripples spread out endlessly, covering the entire stone platform.
The ruin began to tremble slightly, and two faintly shimmering magic arrays lit up ahead.
Shadow Mewtwo had already destroyed the seal.
"They're coming."
Damian watched the two Pokémon slowly rise from the arrays.
They really appeared!
Gloria quickly stepped back a little and stood with Caitlin and the other two girls, excitement shimmering in her eyes.
Mr. Damian was really telling the truth. There really were two more undiscovered Legendary Giants.
It was amazing. Even she, a Galar local, didn't know this secret, yet Damian, a Kanto native, knew all about it.
"Regidrago~!"
A deep cry slowly rang out. In the crimson-violet array on the right, a black dragon skull slowly opened, revealing a dark red spherical body.
Regidrago, manufactured by Regigigas using Dragon Energy Crystals!
But because there weren't enough Crystals, Regigigas had only managed to manufacture its head. Even so, Regidrago's power was already extremely strong.
At the very least, it was stronger than its three "big brothers."
And in the yellow array on the left was a Pokémon entirely yellow, with crackling electricity constantly buzzing over its body.
This was Regieleki, manufactured by Regigigas using electrical energy!
Looking at these two Legendary Giants floating left and right, Caitlin and the other three girls were all quite interested.
"Regieleki, Electric type, the Electron Pokémon. Its Ability is Transistor, which can greatly increase the power of the Electric-type moves it uses."
Damian introduced it.
"Supposedly, Regieleki's entire body is an organ that manufactures electricity, capable of producing all the electricity for the whole of Galar."
Amazing~!
Hearing that, Dawn's eyes lit up. Such terrifying electrical output? And that Ability, Transistor, sounded strong too!
But don't Legendary Giants all have the Clear Body Ability? Seems like Regirock and the others do, right?
Well, after all, Legendary Giants are also called Eternal Pokémon. That says it all.
"Regidrago, Dragon type, the Dragon Orb Pokémon. Its Ability is Dragon's Maw, which can greatly boost the power of Dragon-type moves."
Damian continued introducing Regidrago.
"Regidrago's entire body is made of Dragon Energy Crystals. Supposedly, it has the abilities of all Legendary Dragon Pokémon."
That was, of course, false. Damian was just repeating the Pokédex entry.
Regidrago, strictly speaking, was just an unfinished product. After all, because there weren't enough Dragon Energy Crystals, Regigigas had only manufactured a single head.
If there had been enough Dragon Energy Crystals to manufacture Regidrago's full body, Damian seriously suspected Regidrago could kick its "old man" Regigigas aside and become the boss of the "Legendary Giants" itself.
After all, even with just a head, Regidrago already had this level of strength. And with an ability like Dragon Maw, something every Dragon-type Pokémon dreamed of having, it'd be hard not to question Regidrago's power once its full body was completed.
Yeah, after all, in the entertainment works Damian had seen in his past life, it really wasn't uncommon for a creator to make a powerful Pokémon, only for that Pokémon to turn around and beat its creator.
"This one's strong too!"
After hearing Damian's introduction, Dawn and the other three were all stunned as they looked at Regidrago.
This one was seriously amazing too!
And whether it was Transistor or Dragon's Maw, both Abilities could greatly boost their own type's move power. Really strong!
"Regidrago~!"
Dangerous red light faintly surged over its body, and Regidrago's deep cry rang out again. The seven blue dots in front of it shimmered rapidly.
After being sealed for so many years, Regidrago was clearly pretty pissed. It wanted to throw its weight around!
But Shadow Mewtwo said no.
A faint psychic-blue glow instantly bound the restless Regidrago and Regieleki, leaving them unable to move.
This...
Gloria looked at Regidrago and the other one in astonishment, then at Shadow Mewtwo. What, they controlled these two legends that easily?
Hiss!—
Her mind blanked for a moment. When she came back to herself, Gloria gasped, her eyes glittering as she looked at Shadow Mewtwo and Damian.
"Dawn."
Damian suddenly turned his head and looked at Dawn, his smile gentle.
"Come pick one. This is what I promised you before."
"Emmm..."
Dawn's refined little face couldn't help scrunching up in conflict as her gaze kept darting between Regidrago and Regieleki.
Aaaaah! She really wanted both of them!
Dawn was a very excellent Trainer, so she knew very well that these two Legendary Giants, with Transistor and Dragon's Maw, could never be weak no matter what.
But now she was really torn. She didn't know which one to choose.
Dawn fell into a dilemma.
Serena, on the other hand, looked at the two Legendary Giants and thought of the lightning-running chicken she had caught, and couldn't help falling silent.
Gloria watched Dawn struggle with a happy little headache of her own, and she also fell silent.
What? Why was Mr. Damian treating this blue-haired girl so well? He was even letting her pick any one of these Legendary Giants?
Wait, this girl had also been interviewed, right?
Gloria suddenly remembered that Dawn was also from Team Rocket, and she had been interviewed by Alexa too. Gloria had watched it, but the impression wasn't very deep.
So this was really a Team Rocket perk?
Gloria started thinking about how she should join Team Rocket.
She was a girl with a kind heart and a sense of justice too! She wanted to punish evil and promote good too!
