"That black, snake-like divine beast, is it Jiang Chen's?"
Du Zhan asked Jiang Yuan.
"That's right, it's called Rayquaza, a true first-tier deity."
Jiang Yuan didn't hide anything from Du Zhan. It was bound to be exposed soon, and Jiang Chen's personality wouldn't shy away from exposure.
Moreover, exposure had more benefits than drawbacks. Those people would certainly be wary of Rayquaza's power and wouldn't dare provoke Jiang Chen in the future, unless they were tired of living.
"That kid actually managed to tame a first-tier deity."
Du Zhan couldn't help but admire him. This was a first-tier deity, after all. He wondered how Jiang Chen managed to tame it; there hadn't been a single peep.
Furthermore, he didn't recognize Rayquaza, and there were no records of it whatsoever. It was an unknown divine beast.
"It seems my daughter will have more and more competitors," Du Zhan murmured to himself.
Divine beasts that others couldn't even dream of taming were practically flocking to Jiang Chen. He wondered how many women would be drawn to him.
In the future, the number of rivals for his daughter certainly wouldn't decrease.
"It looks like Rayquaza shouldn't have any trouble defeating Regigigas. The real question is whether Jiang Chen can tame Regigigas."
If he could tame Regigigas, it would also be a good thing for Xia Kingdom.
Although Jiang Chen was not one to suffer losses, he was generally quite agreeable as long as no one provoked him. One more divine beast meant an additional deterrent for Xia Kingdom against other countries, and that was a good thing.
"Since that kid has set his sights on Regigigas, I don't think taming it will be a problem."
Jiang Yuan had great faith in his son.
However, what he didn't know was that Jiang Chen actually wasn't confident at all. After all, this was a first-tier deity; winning didn't mean he could necessarily tame it.
He couldn't even treat Regigigas the same way he treated Zapdos.
For Zapdos, he could use the strategy of beating it into submission, but that wouldn't work for Regigigas.
Mew had Zapdos suppressed, so even if Zapdos wanted to cause trouble, Mew could instantly kill it. But who could instantly kill Regigigas?
Rayquaza mega-evolved, and then, using its full power, it might be able to instantly kill Regigigas.
However, the destruction caused by instantly killing Regigigas would likely lay waste to half of Xia Kingdom, and Jiang Chen certainly couldn't play around like that.
If he couldn't get Regigigas's approval, Jiang Chen would rather let Regigigas go.
Regigigas surged out of the seawater and continued its battle with Rayquaza. The momentum of their fight grew larger and larger. In this battle, Rayquaza was practically overwhelming Regigigas.
Although it was called a battle, almost the entire time, Regigigas was taking a beating. Being able to fly truly had an advantage; many of Regigigas's attacks simply couldn't hit Rayquaza in the air.
Conversely, for Rayquaza in the air, threatening Regigigas was easy.
Regigigas once again used Hyper Beam. Rayquaza directly dodged the Hyper Beam. After dodging the attack, Rayquaza used Extreme Speed to instantly close in on Regigigas.
Its Iron Tail swung down towards Regigigas.
As a Normal-type divine beast, there weren't many types that countered Regigigas; only Fighting-type had an advantage.
Under normal circumstances, there was no need to worry about type matchups; this Iron Tail could still withstand it.
"This guy's stamina and defense are simply terrifying."
Jiang Chen didn't know how long this battle would last. If it continued like this, it probably wouldn't end anytime soon.
In fact, Jiang Chen was dazzled by this battle. The speed was too fast; even the massive Regigigas's attack speed was something Jiang Chen couldn't clearly see.
"Should I let Rayquaza mega-evolve?"
If they continued fighting like this, who knew when it would end? After Rayquaza mega-evolved, Regigigas probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Even if Regigigas was incredibly resilient, it wouldn't be able to endure the attacks of Mega Rayquaza.
"Rayquaza, mega-evolve now."
Jiang Chen shouted at Rayquaza.
Rayquaza knocked Regigigas back, then mega-evolved. After mega-evolving, Rayquaza's appearance was much cooler than before.
Its posture became even more slender, and most importantly, its strength became even greater. Although it was still a first-tier deity, there were also differences within first-tier deities.
Golden strip-like objects appeared on its body, glowing brightly. Its ability changed from Air Lock, which was active in sunny weather, to Delta Stream.
Delta Stream allowed the weather to change into a turbulent flow, which was useful against Kyogre and Groudon. It also eliminated the weaknesses of Flying-type Pokémon.
Originally, Ice-type attacks dealt four times damage to Rayquaza, but after the Flying-type weakness disappeared, Ice-type damage was reduced to only two times.
After mega-evolving, Rayquaza sent Regigigas flying with a Dragon Tail. Then, while Regigigas was still flying, it used Dragon Ascent.
This was Rayquaza's signature move. Although "dragon" was in the name of the move, it was actually a Flying-type move.
Mega Rayquaza flew into the sky and quickly swooped straight down towards Regigigas. In an instant, a flash of light streaked across, and before anyone could even tell what happened, they heard Regigigas's cries of pain.
"Boom!"
The sea shook a bit, and Regigigas was sent crashing into the ocean. The impact caused the sea in that area to explode, and one could even see the seafloor from there.
An attack of such speed was virtually impossible to dodge. Even a Psychic-type divine beast capable of instant movement might not be able to react in time.
Moreover, with the divine beast's aura locking it down, it would be difficult to escape.
Regigigas was blasted into the bottom of the sea, even causing an earthquake. Fortunately, this place was far from the land, but it still caused a massive tsunami.
After a long time, Regigigas still didn't emerge from the seabed.
Previously, when it was blasted into the seabed, it wouldn't take long for Regigigas to jump out. But now, a long time had passed, and Regigigas still hadn't appeared.
In this situation, it had either escaped or lost its combat ability.
"It should have lost its combat ability."
Jiang Chen looked towards the seabed, but unfortunately, it was covered by seawater, so he couldn't see Regigigas below.
"Rayquaza, fish Regigigas out." Jiang Chen instructed Rayquaza.
Immediately after, Rayquaza dived into the seabed. With Rayquaza's endurance, it could go anywhere, sky or sea.
Not long after diving into the seabed, Rayquaza emerged from the sea with Regigigas. However, Regigigas had now lost its combat ability.
Looking at its eyes, which were like indicator lights, they were now dim and lifeless.
[Regigigas]
Gender: None
Strength: First-tier Deity
Talent Potential: First-tier Deity
Attribute: Normal
Ability: Slow Start
Moves: Pound, Confuse Ray, Stomp, Mega Punch, Mega Kick, Hyper Beam, Focus Blast, Crush Grip...
Status: Severely injured and unconscious
When checking Regigigas's attributes, he even saw its status: severely injured and unconscious.
"What should I do now?"
Facing a severely injured and unconscious Regigigas, Jiang Chen could certainly put it into a Master Ball first. However, even if he did, it would be useless, as a Master Ball couldn't restrain a divine beast.
Although a Master Ball was very advanced, and even champion-level divine beasts couldn't break free if forcibly captured, this did not include divine beasts.
Even third-tier deities had the ability to break free from a Master Ball, let alone a first-tier deity.
If a first-tier deity wanted to break free from a Master Ball, it would be as easy as playing a game, with no obstacles whatsoever.
"It seems I really can't do anything about Regigigas."
"Let's see if I can persuade it first. Anyway, I have Rayquaza by my side to protect me."
Jiang Chen glanced at Rayquaza beside him. At this moment, Rayquaza had already reverted from its mega-evolved state.
"Mew, you come and treat Regigigas." Jiang Chen said to Mew.
"Gardevoir."
Gardevoir indicated to Jiang Chen that it could also help.
"If you want to help, Gardevoir, then help together."
Although Jiang Chen knew that Gardevoir's treatment wouldn't be very effective for Regigigas,
it was better than nothing, right?
Mew and Gardevoir used Healing Pulse together. After performing it several times in a row, Regigigas finally woke up from its unconscious state.
However, it only woke up. Regigigas's injuries still needed to recover slowly. Jiang Chen wouldn't fully heal its injuries before taming it.
Otherwise, if Regigigas recovered, wouldn't he have to continue fighting it?
