Chapter 181: Sora: Let Me See What You’re Really Made Of

Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Sora: Let Me See What You’re Really Made Of

Pop! Pop!

Sora immediately tossed out two Poké Balls, successfully capturing the remaining two Titans.

At this point, both of his primary objectives for coming to Galar had been completely fulfilled.

"Master, congratulations on capturing all the Titans!"

"Mhm!"

Emma was just as excited.

She felt as though she had personally witnessed a legend.

Compared to Sora...

The Trainers she’d only ever heard about or seen on television were nothing.

Even Champion Leon...

In her eyes, he couldn’t compare to Sora.

Big Brother Sora is invincible!

Master is unmatched beneath the heavens!

Without saying a word, the two girls reached the same conclusion.

One day...

Sora would stand at the very pinnacle of the Pokémon world.

"Thanks."

Leaving the ruins, Sora had Volcanion evaporate the surrounding snow, creating a dry patch of ground.

Then...

He threw all five Poké Balls into the air.

The five Legendary Titans—

Rock. Steel. Ice. Electric. Dragon.

Appeared simultaneously.

Because Sora had defeated them...

The ancient mission compelling them to guard the ruins had been lifted.

They had returned to a state in which communication was possible.

"Hello, everyone."

"My name is Sora."

"I’m sorry for disturbing your slumber."

He first apologized for intruding upon their resting place.

Then he introduced himself.

A traveler.

An adventurer.

Someone from a distant region.

Finally...

He extended an invitation.

Would they be willing to leave this land and travel with him?

If any of the Titans refused...

Sora would never force them.

Capturing a Pokémon wasn’t irreversible.

If their ideals didn’t align...

Then he would gladly return their freedom.

To Sora...

The most important prerequisite for raising a Pokémon...

Was that the Pokémon itself wished to stay.

Force meant nothing.

He was no longer the inexperienced rookie he’d once been.

He already had Victini.

Ogerpon.

And now Calyrex.

He no longer lacked powerful Pokémon.

The real issue...

Was time.

Just figuring out how to help Ogerpon and the others break through Level 90...

Then 95...

Then perhaps even beyond Level 100...

Already occupied enough of his thoughts.

He simply didn’t have the spare energy to constantly win over unwilling Pokémon.

He wasn’t Ash.

Ash caught new Pokémon in nearly every region.

Sora...

Was rather sentimental.

"Di-li... Dulu..."

The five Titans clearly recognized one another.

At the very least...

They knew of each other’s existence.

Among them...

Regirock and Registeel reacted the least.

They barely hesitated.

"We shall obey the new directive."

After uttering that single sentence...

They silently stood in place.

There wasn’t much Sora could do with those two.

Later...

He would simply let them roam freely across the Nebel Plateau.

As for the others...

Regice looked rather absentminded.

Almost...

Not especially bright.

Through Aura, Sora sensed that Regice’s mentality resembled that of a child.

Simple.

Pure.

Filled with longing for beautiful things.

So...

He asked Calyrex to create a field of blooming flowers.

"Reeee..."

Seeing the blossoms...

Regice excitedly waved its short little arms.

"So that’s your personality?"

Sora hadn’t expected Regice to have such a delicate heart.

"It likes flowers?"

"If you love living things..."

"Then the Nebel Plateau will definitely satisfy you."

"It’s completely different from here."

"There are countless flowers..."

"Trees..."

"And Pokémon."

"...Gra-la..."

However...

Watching everything Regice touched instantly freeze into ice sculptures...

Sora couldn’t help sighing.

He would definitely need to teach it proper control over its own power.

"Ree?"

Regice itself looked flustered.

It seemed genuinely worried about harming the flowers.

Indeed...

When serving as a ruin guardian...

Regice had attacked with lethal force from the very beginning.

But that had merely been its duty.

Its true personality...

Didn’t seem to enjoy hurting anyone.

Instead...

It feared accidentally harming others with its own strength.

"Don’t worry."

"If you stay with me..."

"I’ll teach you how to control your powers."

"One day..."

"You’ll be able to touch anything you like..."

"Without hurting it."

"Reee~~"

Regice beamed happily.

It was willing to follow Sora.

To remain by his side.

Next...

Was Regieleki.

"Eleki!"

The Electric Titan immediately declared that it was hungry.

It wanted food.

Sora cautiously offered it several Electric-type Pokéblocks.

Regieleki reached out...

Touched them...

And absorbed the electrical energy within.

"Eleki!!"

"Eleki! Eleki!!"

It was absolutely delighted.

Seeing this...

Sora instantly understood its personality.

"Just a little foodie."

Foodies were wonderful.

Those were exactly the kind of Pokémon Sora liked.

He wasn’t the impoverished young man who once had to split every dollar in half.

Now...

He had Princess Jimia’s financial support.

He also had the Shalour Gym backing him.

Feeding one Regieleki?

No problem at all.

He could absolutely keep it well-fed.

"...Gugu... Gaga..."

"...Uh..."

Finally...

There was Regidrago.

But...

Was that cry serious?

"Gugu Gaga?"

Wasn’t that the sound a penguin would make?

"Guga~"

Regidrago had no arms.

Sora watched its dragon jaws repeatedly open and close.

"So..."

"You want to become stronger?"

"You want to regain a complete body?"

"I can do that."

There was no way Sora would reject such a wish.

If he ultimately chose Regidrago as one of his core Pokémon...

Then he would spare no effort helping it reach its true limits.

Restoring Regidrago’s missing body...

Would undoubtedly become one of its greatest paths toward strength.

"Gugu Gaga~~"

Regidrago was overjoyed.

It even lowered its massive head...

Rubbing the crimson core at its center affectionately against Sora.

"Haha, alright, alright."

"I know you’re happy."

Much to Sora’s surprise...

The Titans had all integrated rather smoothly.

The two half-asleep Titans didn’t particularly care where they stayed.

As long as they received a new directive...

They would faithfully guard their assigned territory.

Sora had already decided...

They would become the guardians of the Nebel Plateau.

Regice was adorable.

Almost like an innocent young girl.

As for Regieleki and Regidrago...

Sora intended to raise them together with Regice.

They would form an elite Titan squad...

Specially reserved for future challengers.

"Everyone, head back into your Poké Balls and get some rest."

"It’s time for us to return."

This time...

Sora asked Calyrex for help.

The journey to the ruins had served as valuable training.

There was no reason to repeat the ordeal on the way back.

Teleportation was simply more practical.

"Very well."

Calyrex mounted Spectrier.

In an instant...

Psychic power exceeding Level 80 enveloped every human and Pokémon present.

Sora felt his vision blur.

The next moment...

Everyone had already returned from the Crown Shrine...

To the snowy hillside just outside Freezington.
