"How can I make it wake up quickly?"

Mammon pondered how to quickly awaken Regigigas, given Regigigas's current state of enraged irrationality.

Using Regirock and the others was clearly unrealistic; they would likely be incapacitated by one of Regigigas's Hyper Beams.

After much thought, it seemed the best course of action was to beat it up first.

At this moment, Regigigas on the ground also stirred. The seven circular holes in front of him once again began to flash wildly with points of light.

His arms flailed as if twitching, emitting a series of mechanical 'clack clack' sounds, and sharp rock blades materialized in front of him.

A Rock-type Stone Edge!

With a forceful swing of Regigigas's arms, the Stone Edge shot out, flying at high speed towards Dark Mewtwo Y.

"Dodge."

Dark Mewtwo Y's expression remained indifferent. Her much smaller body transformed into a black light and instantly vanished from her original spot.

"Dark Nova."

When she reappeared, Dark Mewtwo Y was already behind Regigigas.

She raised her right arm, and a strange purplish-black energy continuously pulsed and condensed above her palm, then dramatically expanded, transforming in an instant into a massive energy orb.

A Dark-type Dark Nova! Dark Mewtwo's signature move.

Regigigas sensed something amiss behind him, quickly turned around, and his two arms glowed white, smashing towards Dark Mewtwo Y.

A Fighting-type Arm Hammer!

Dark Mewtwo Y hurled the Dark Nova in her hand towards Regigigas.

Boom!

The Arm Hammer heavily struck the Dark Nova, attempting to stop its advance. However, even though Regigigas was giving his all, trying to prevent the Dark Nova from pressing forward.

He couldn't do it!

The Dark Nova was simply too heavy, still pushing down little by little.

Regigigas continued to emit low growls like a machine, but still couldn't stop it. The Arm Hammer was broken through, and the Dark Nova heavily struck Regigigas.

Rumble!

Violent purplish-black energy shot up into the sky, the entire ground trembled violently, and a tangible shockwave spread out.

Even Caitlin and the other two, who were far away, felt a strong gust of wind buffet their faces.

Cynthia immediately had her Garchomp block in front of Hunter J, otherwise, the woman, whose injuries had just slightly healed, would be severely injured again.

"This power is truly impressive."

Mammon, riding on Reshiram, looked down with satisfaction.

The area where Regigigas was located was noticeably sunken in a large circle, and the aftershocks of the Dark Nova had also vibrated the surrounding ground, peeling back a layer of earth.

It was evident that the power of this Dark Nova attack was incredibly exaggerated.

But Dark Mewtwo Y had not even used her full power!

Mega Evolution, as expected, brought a qualitative leap in Dark Mewtwo's power, just like Super Rayquaza and Rayquaza; they were practically two different Pokémon.

"Regi…"

At the bottom of the deep pit, Regigigas was now propping himself up with his arms. His visible wounds indicated that he had likely sustained serious injuries just now.

However, the Aura Heart around him had calmed down a lot, and he was no longer as agitated as before.

Regigigas stood up, looking at Dark Mewtwo Y in the air with confusion.

He sensed some of Mew's Aura Heart from Dark Mewtwo Y, yet there were significant differences, a fundamental distinction.

"It seems you've woken up, Regigigas."

Mammon patted Reshiram, signaling him to move closer to Regigigas. Mammon spoke to Regigigas.

Regigigas glanced at Reshiram and Mammon, then looked around. The widespread devastation made Regigigas feel somewhat ashamed.

After his heart, which had been filled with rage, calmed down, he now remembered his actions from earlier.

"No need to be embarrassed. This isn't your fault. It's good that you've returned to normal now."

Mammon comforted Regigigas, as this couldn't be blamed on Regigigas; if anyone was to blame, it was only that woman, Hunter J.

"However, the temple where you were sleeping has already been destroyed, so where will you go next?"

Mammon asked Regigigas.

Snowpoint Temple had also been destroyed during Regigigas's rampage. Well, after all, Regigigas's indiscriminate Hyper Beam was no joke.

After taking two more hits, this long-standing temple couldn't withstand it and collapsed.

Regigigas looked towards the collapsed temple, becoming even more silent.

"If you don't know where to go, how about leaving with me? You've slept for so long; it's time you got out and moved around a bit."

Mammon seized the opportunity to invite him. Although Regigigas's strength wasn't considered top-tier, after Slow Start ended, he could still be considered a top-tier legendary in close combat.

There was no harm in trying.

Regigigas looked at Mammon again. He could sense the Aura Heart of the pillars he had created on Mammon's person.

Wait! Something's not right!

"The pillars on you… are they from Mew's side?"

A low, mechanical-like telepathic query sounded in Mammon's ear.

He hadn't created many pillars in total, as creating them required energy crystals, which he had to find himself. Regigigas wasn't that idle.

He had created two of each type of rock pillar, but only one of the dragon pillar Regidrago and the electric pillar Regieleki.

Especially Regidrago, which, to Regigigas, was only a half-finished pillar.

Because when he was molding it, he found that he ran out of Dragon Crystals halfway through…

So Regidrago only looked like a head, because its 'body' was never molded.

"Yes, I captured them from the Tree of Life."

"Mew… didn't interfere?"

After a moment of silence, Regigigas was a bit speechless.

The reason he created these three pillars was to protect the Tree of Life and also to spare Mew from some minor troubles.

Although he didn't think Mew could be Mammon's opponent, as this human had quite a few legendaries.

But taking Regirock and the others and hiding them within the Tree of Life wasn't impossible. The internal mechanism of the Tree of Life was to autonomously repel humans.

This human couldn't enter the Tree of Life.

But then Regigigas thought again: Mammon doesn't need to go in; it seems it's enough if his Pokémon can enter.

Regigigas suddenly understood; he had misunderstood Mew.

"No, Mew and I reached an agreement. I bought the area around the Tree of Life and stationed people to guard the perimeter, so I also captured Regirock and the others," Mammon said with a smile.

Regigigas fell silent. Regigigas was relieved.

Relying on that little brat Mew to value the three pillars he left behind was indeed just his wishful thinking.

"Actually, Mew does value them quite a bit. When I first arrived in the Tree of Life area, she even specifically came to stop me from capturing them."

Mammon felt he should explain a little for Mew.

Regigigas remained silent.

Seeing Regigigas's reaction, Mammon felt it would likely be difficult.

"Regigigas, what do you think? I really hope to become partners with you."

Mammon changed the subject.

"Human, even without my help, you are already a top-tier existence among humans."

Regigigas's telepathy conveyed a sense of lament.

"Moreover, this body of mine cannot provide you with much help."

He knew his own limitations; before each battle, he needed to 'start up' his body, otherwise, he couldn't unleash its full power.

Regigigas's words were undoubtedly a roundabout refusal.

"However, it was you, human, who stopped me, otherwise, even more severe destruction would likely have occurred. In the future, if you need my help, I will assist you."

But Regigigas was clearly a 'straightforward person,' speaking earnestly to Mammon.

"I understand. Thank you." Mammon felt a little regretful.

"But this place is ultimately not suitable for you to continue sleeping, Regigigas. This place has been exposed."

Mammon said to Regigigas. Even if Regigigas didn't mind that Snowpoint Temple was already in ruins, the massive commotion here today would surely attract many people afterward.

"How about you go to the Tree of Life? I think Mew would also welcome you very much."

Mammon suggested to Regigigas.

"I can send you there; it won't take long."

The seven circular dots in front of Regigigas flickered, and he seemed to be hesitating.

After thinking for a while, Regigigas nodded.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, human."

Regigigas thanked Mammon.

"You're welcome. Many of my organization's Pokémon reside at the Tree of Life. With you, Regigigas, as a guardian, I can feel much more at ease."

"I will."

Hearing this, a hint of a smile entered Regigigas's mechanical telepathy. He liked honest humans like Mammon.

"Oh, by the way, human, I have a treasure. I wonder if you need it?"

Regigigas seemed to remember something and asked Mammon.

"Treasure?" Mammon raised an eyebrow. If Regigigas called it a treasure, it was likely indeed very mysterious.

"This treasure is very mysterious, but it might also bring you danger."

"Let me see."

"Please wait a moment."

Seeing that Mammon was indeed interested, Regigigas walked to the ruins of Snowpoint Temple. After digging around for a while, he finally unearthed a bundle from underground. It was an ancient box covered in mud.

Reshiram landed, and Mammon dismounted from the white dragon. Without minding the dirt, he directly opened the box.

A pale purple light immediately caught his eye.

Inside the box was a circular jewel, shimmering with a faint pinkish-purple glow, and an inexplicable divine Aura Heart flowed from it.

"This is…"

Mammon looked at the circular jewel in surprise; he recognized it.

But why would Regigigas have this? Did he find it over the years?

But it was no wonder Regigigas said this thing might bring him danger. If the owner of this treasure sensed its Aura Heart, they would probably rush over immediately.

Thinking of this, Mammon immediately closed the box again.

"Regigigas, I really like this gift. Thank you."

Mammon pondered for a moment, then slowly curved his lips into a smile, thanking Regigigas.

This was truly an unexpected surprise.
