Chapter 515 516: Regigigas, the Original

Deep within the Earth God Mountain Range.

The moment the aftershocks of the earthquake began to spread, something deep within the mountains was quietly stirring.

In one particular part of the forest stood a massive cave.

It was June, and sunlight was plentiful.

But the trees here grew more than ten or twenty meters high, their enormous canopies blocking most of the sunlight.

There was also a clear pond nearby.

As a result, the rocks surrounding the cave were covered in thick green moss.

The moss was so dense that the rocks almost looked like miniature trees themselves.

On the surface, the area had gradually developed into a complete ecosystem.

Clear water flowed beside the pond.

Various Pokémon played around the water, splashing and chasing one another.

Even inside the cave, where sunlight had not reached for countless years, low bushes and vegetation had somehow taken root and flourished.

Everything on the surface looked peaceful.

But deep beneath the ground...

A pair of lights suddenly flickered.

No.

There were three pairs.

They shone like neon lights in the darkness.

At the same time, the sound of something mechanical slowly turning echoed through the underground.

As the lights flashed, illuminating the surrounding earth, a gigantic silhouette gradually became visible.

Its height was almost several dozen meters.

"Regi...gigas..."

There was no doubt about it.

Compared to Mew's imitation from earlier, this was the real Regigigas.

And at this very moment...

It was waking from its slumber.

For some reason, however, its body still wasn't moving properly.

It could only remain where it was.

But the moment Regigigas awakened, the cave itself began to tremble.

The vibrations slowly spread through the surrounding ground.

Yet in the end, Regigigas still didn't move.

Instead...

Something else emerged from the cave.

It stood nearly five meters tall.

Its entire body looked as though it had been formed from countless chunks of rock.

But it also possessed the same strange lights that covered Regigigas's body.

"Regi...rock..."

The Rock Peak Pokémon, Regirock!

It paused for a moment and determined its direction.

Then it quickly began walking toward the place where the earth vein had previously been damaged.

.....

Meanwhile...

Lin Feng and Feng Yang had already left the room.

The brightly colored flames surrounding Moltres were impossible to ignore.

It was Feng Yang's Moltres.

Compared with before, the flames burning across its body seemed even brighter now.

Pokémon that possessed flames like Moltres had an interesting characteristic.

When someone it didn't recognize approached, they would immediately feel the intense heat radiating from its body.

But when someone it recognized came near...

All they would feel was warmth.

Moltres hovered in the air, looking down at everyone below.

With a Pokémon like this watching over them, the people who had been arrested didn't dare make a single move.

In fact, Moltres had grown considerably stronger compared with before.

[Pokémon: Moltres]

[Gender: Male]

[Ability: Pressure]

[Potential: Gold]

[Individual Values: HP (28), Attack (31), Special Attack (31), Defense (27), Special Defense (21), Speed (21)]

[Strength: Level 92–94]

[Moves: Gust, Ember, Safeguard, Wing Attack, Agility, Incinerate, Air Slash, Roost, Hurricane, Sky Attack, Flame Charge, Flamethrower, Fire Blast...]

If Level 80 still represented the Champion level...

Then Moltres, having entered the Level 90 range, had already stepped into the Master level.

And standing beneath Moltres was Feng Yang.

The moment he saw the mask covering Lin Feng's face, the corner of Feng Yang's mouth twitched.

What the hell is this?

Still, he walked over first and immediately started teasing him.

"Wearing a mask and acting all mysterious."

"Are you trying to look cool?"

"???"

Lin Feng froze for a moment.

Then he immediately defended himself.

"Actually, that's not the reason."

The three little Mythical Pokémon had already disappeared the moment they saw so many people.

They had hidden themselves somewhere nearby.

Whether these people were good or bad didn't matter.

For Mythical Pokémon, the fewer humans who knew about their existence, the better.

Feng Yang didn't dwell on the matter.

Instead, he asked,

"The earthquake has stopped."

"So is the problem solved now?"

After Lin Feng had explained everything about the earth vein, Feng Yang had already started rushing toward this area.

Then, when he heard that another earthquake had erupted, his heart had nearly jumped into his throat.

He had silently prayed that Lin Feng would be reliable.

Please don't let this turn into what happened more than ten years ago.

Fortunately, the reports coming in soon afterward said that the earthquake had stopped.

That finally allowed him to breathe again.

"No."

Lin Feng shook his head.

"It's not completely solved."

"You could say we've only dealt with it temporarily."

He then explained everything related to the earth vein to Feng Yang in detail.

"So if Regigigas doesn't come out..."

"That means you and Mew will have to come here once every year just to keep the earth vein stable?"

"That's right."

Lin Feng nodded.

"..."

Feng Yang looked at Lin Feng's mask and fell into deep thought.

He couldn't claim to know Lin Feng perfectly.

But after interacting with him for so long, he had a fairly good understanding of his personality.

Lin Feng was a young man who owned his own Breeding House in Wutong Town.

Despite his age, he gave people the impression that he was somewhat lazy.

When nothing happened, he basically stayed in Wutong Town and guarded his own little corner of the world.

He was the classic type who preferred staying close to home rather than going out and getting involved in other people's affairs.

Yet today...

He had actually been willing to leave Wutong Town.

That alone showed how seriously he had taken this matter.

So even though the earthquake had already started...

This was probably the best possible outcome.

If Lin Feng hadn't been here, there was a very good chance the earthquake would have spread throughout Sichuan Province just like it had more than ten years ago.

That was why Feng Yang was now considering two possibilities.

Should they find Regigigas and ask it for help?

Or should they simply have Lin Feng and Mew return here once a year to maintain the earth vein?

There was a reason he was hesitating.

The first option was obviously riskier.

After all, Regigigas was a Legendary Pokémon.

It was even said to be powerful enough to pull continents.

An existence like that wasn't obligated to help humans simply because it had helped them once before.

It might even wake up in a terrible mood and become angry at humanity.

After all, how would it look from Regigigas's perspective?

I just repaired your earth vein more than ten years ago.

How long has it been?

I only took a little nap, and you've already messed it up again?

"..."

The second option was much safer.

All they needed was a free laborer.

Lin Feng...

And Mew.

But then again...

That little Mew had a mischievous personality.

It was the kind of Pokémon that would transform itself into Rayquaza simply because it wanted to make another Pokémon happy.

That alone made it an unpredictable factor.

Sigh...

The more Feng Yang thought about it...

The harder it became.

Both choices were troublesome.

Just then, Lin Feng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey."

"Regigigas still hasn't come out."

"But Regirock has."

Feng Yang looked at him.

Lin Feng's expression had suddenly become excited.

This place wasn't actually very far from the point where the earth vein intersected beneath the forest.

So Lin Feng had asked Serperior to lock onto that location with its Aura.

That way, they could prevent anything else from going wrong.

And right now...

Serperior had shrunk down again.

And then shrunk even further.

Wearing his long robe, Lin Feng had hidden the tiny Serperior inside his sleeve.

Only its head quietly peeked out.

It was using its Aura to monitor the location of the earth vein.

And judging from Lin Feng's expression...

He had clearly just come up with another plan.
