Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: Convincing Regigigas

Regigigas, now awake, stared at Jiang Chen, its eyes flickering erratically.

It now possessed a certain degree of mobility, and Jiang Chen stood right before it. If Regigigas wished to attack, it could do so at any moment.

However, Regigigas did not. Divine Beasts weren't foolish; their intelligence even surpassed that of humans.

Rayquaza watched from the side, its gaze fixed on Regigigas with keen vigilance. Would Regigigas dare to attack Jiang Chen?

If it were to attack Jiang Chen, not only would it be pointless, but it would also be attacked by Rayquaza once more.

At this moment, Rayquaza was firmly locked onto Regigigas.

Forget any deliberate action; even if Regigigas harbored a mere thought of harming Jiang Chen, Rayquaza would make it pay.

"How about we have a good chat?"

Jiang Chen said to Regigigas.

From Jiang Chen's understanding, Regigigas wasn't a particularly difficult Pokémon to talk to; it had a good nature.

Regigigas emitted a rumbling, vibrating sound, indicating its willingness to talk with Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen had managed to subdue Rayquaza "Six-Six-Zero" after Rayquaza defeated it, making him worthy of a conversation.

No matter how good Regigigas's nature was, you still needed strength comparable to its own to have an equal conversation with it.

"As I said before, I want to take you in."

Hearing Jiang Chen bring up taking it in again, Regigigas was unwilling. It did not want to be taken in by a human and submit to one.

"Regigigas, even if you don't submit to me, you'll just go find a place to sleep, right? You can sleep anywhere, so why not sleep here with me?"

"I can promise you that as long as there's nothing important, I won't disturb you."

"You probably don't know much about our world, do you? Follow me, and you can learn about it."

Jiang Chen began to deploy his silver tongue. While his persuasion wasn't exceptionally powerful, Regigigas's expression at least showed some fluctuation.

After arriving in this world, Regigigas had indeed found a place to sleep. It didn't understand this world, and although it had little interest in learning about it, Jiang Chen's words about being able to sleep anywhere had instantly stirred some emotion within it.

Seeing that Regigigas was somewhat moved, Jiang Chen felt a slight joy. He then redoubled his efforts, trying to quickly bring Regigigas over to his side.

"You must be very lonely, right? If you're willing to follow me, we can all be your companions. Don't you want more companions?"

Jiang Chen's words made its eyes flicker even faster.

Although it slept for a long time, Regigigas disliked loneliness.

Otherwise, Regigigas wouldn't have created five sons. It was precisely this speculation, based on Regigigas creating five sons, that made Jiang Chen believe Regigigas disliked loneliness.

Therefore, he planned to use this to persuade it.

"The fact that Rayquaza acknowledges me means I'm qualified to be your trainer. How about you just follow me for now? If you don't want to later, you can leave anytime, and I won't stop you."

Jiang Chen's words were appealing, but if Regigigas truly followed him, it wouldn't be able to run away.

Wasn't Zapdos an example? Zapdos was now fiercely loyal to Jiang Chen. Of course, this might be due to the pressure from Rayquaza.

Zapdos used to be a bit awkward, but ever since Jiang Chen got Rayquaza, Zapdos's attitude towards Jiang Chen had noticeably changed.

Regigigas began to hesitate. Instead of flatly refusing Jiang Chen, it indicated that it needed to think about it.

"Alright, you can rest and recover for now."

Jiang Chen wasn't in a hurry for Regigigas to battle. Instead, he had Mew use Healing Pulse repeatedly.

For ordinary injuries, one Healing Pulse from Mew could completely restore the target. However, Regigigas's injuries were too severe, making recovery difficult.

It was a pity that Rayquaza didn't have any healing moves; otherwise, it could quickly heal Regigigas.

But there was no need to rush. As a Level 1 Divine Beast, Regigigas had strong recovery abilities. Even without treatment, it could recover quickly on its own.

Regigigas had been swayed just now, which meant there was an opportunity, and a significant one at that. It was possible to persuade Regigigas to join them.

In any case, Jiang Chen would do his best for Regigigas.

"Speaking of which, if I encounter Black Dragon Reshiram or White Dragon Zekrom in the future, I wonder if they will proactively follow me?"

Black Dragon Zekrom helps those who pursue ideals, while White Dragon Reshiram helps those who pursue truth.

He just didn't know if he himself was an idealist or a realist.

If they suited their tastes, Black Dragon Zekrom and White Dragon Reshiram would be relatively easy to capture. Rather than capture, it would be more like cooperation.

They would help him achieve his goals.

Regigigas was also relatively easy to handle, at least compared to some other difficult Divine Beasts; Regigigas was quite agreeable.

While Jiang Chen was trying to persuade Regigigas here, the other countries began to panic.

The various countries that detected the situation here started to panic. Apart from Xia Nation remaining calm, other countries could not maintain their composure.

What they saw was that the Pokémon that defeated Regigigas and unleashed destructive power was actually Jiang Chen's Pokémon.

Initially, they thought Jiang Chen only had Articuno, but later they learned he also had Zapdos. They assumed he only had these two, but then Mew suddenly appeared.

Mew wasn't the end of it; there was also an unknown Divine Beast, and this Divine Beast was also a Level 1 Divine Beast, a Level 1 Divine Beast that had truly displayed its power...

Moreover, this Level 1 Divine Beast also seemed capable of Mega Evolution, which was ridiculous.

They hadn't forgotten that they were enemies with Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen would retaliate against them later. Today's inaction was only because he was busy taking in Regigigas.

Oh, right, taking in Regigigas. Just by looking at Jiang Chen's demeanor, they knew he intended to take in Regigigas. If Jiang Chen took in Regigigas as well, who else would dare to provoke him?

Just thinking about it was terrifying.

"We absolutely cannot let Jiang Chen take in any more Divine Beasts, or else he alone will suppress the entire world!"

The leaders of several countries gathered, their faces as grim as could be.

"He already suppresses the entire world alone. Otherwise, we wouldn't have bowed down to him."

At this moment, one of them said.

Jiang Chen didn't accept their surrender, so they were forced to find ways to resist. The result was useless; instead, they even gifted Jiang Chen a Level 1 Divine Beast.

"Don't even think about dealing with him. He's no longer someone we can deal with. Let's just think about how to make him spare us."

"As for stopping him from taking in Regigigas? How can we stop him? If we dare to make a move, none of us will survive."

"You should have analyzed the energy fluctuations that burst out from that black Pokémon during its fight with Regigigas, right? It was enough to destroy a country, and a major one at that."

"In other words, Jiang Chen already possesses the power to destroy a country. We can't afford to provoke him anymore. We, the Polar Bear Nation, choose to surrender."

The leader of the Polar Bear Nation was no longer tough at this moment. He was usually very strong-willed, but there was a good saying in Xia Nation: a wise person adapts to circumstances.

Being strong-willed doesn't mean being foolish.

Continuing to be an enemy of Jiang Chen would only lead to a dead end.

Only by obtaining Jiang Chen's understanding could they hope to survive.

After saying this, the leader of the Polar Bear Nation didn't waste any more words with them.

A decision had been made, and there was no need to stay with these people. Anyway, no matter what other countries wanted to do, they wouldn't get involved.

"Our Cherry Blossom Nation also chooses to surrender."

Koizumi Ichiro, the leader of the Cherry Blossom Nation, announced.

Their Cherry Blossom Nation itself believed in respecting the strong. In front of the strong, they were like poodles. Seeing how powerful Jiang Chen was, how could they not know what to choose?

When one by one chose to surrender, Senator Johnson, a powerful figure from the United States, was at a loss for words, his face sullen.

He used to have a lot of influence, but now no one was willing to listen to his nonsense.

"You want to surrender, but don't forget, he might not necessarily spare you."

Didn't Johnson want to surrender? No, he did. It was just that Jiang Chen was clearly beyond his ability to deal with, and he worried that even if he chose to surrender, Jiang Chen might not spare him.
