—------------------—
Registeel's palms took on a metallic sheen as its Metal Claw swiped toward Brandon.
Brandon rolled his body, dodging the Metal Claw. Seeing Regice attacking him next, he realized he couldn't dodge this time. He was about to throw a Poké Ball when a figure appeared before him, forcing Regice back with a punch.
"Ni-ke!"
The collision of four powerful fists stirred up a massive shockwave.
It looked at the Regirock before it, its eyes burning with a thirst for battle.
"Ni-ke."
You look like you can take a hit.
Regirock's eyes flickered, seemingly trying to understand Dash's words.
It couldn't fathom why this Machamp was so confident. In the next second, it understood exactly why.
The muscles in Dash's arms, bound with a Black Belt, tensed up. He then slammed a fist straight into Regirock's face, sending it flying backward until it crashed into Regice.
Even as it flew through the air, it still didn't understand how this Machamp's strength could be so terrifying.
Regice had been preparing an Ice Beam to freeze Ash and Pikachu, but just as the move was released, it was sent flying by the incoming Regirock.
"Regi."
Regice pushed Regirock off itself and stood up, questioning why Regirock had gotten in its way.
Regirock began to argue back.
While Regirock and Regice were bickering, Registeel wasn't idle either, swinging its metallic arms to trade blows with Dash.
Dash clenched all four arms into fists, swinging them frantically at Registeel. He allowed Registeel's punches to land on him without any defense, focusing entirely on a relentless assault.
True 'no-defense' meant abandoning all protection to keep attacking.
Registeel went from trading injuries at the start to eventually using both hands to protect its head, retreating step by step.
Feeling the pain surging through its body, the fire in Dash's eyes grew even brighter. Under the care of the Breeding House, his physique was not only no smaller than Registeel's but actually seemed to slightly overpower it.
After throwing one last punch, he dropped into a horse stance, bending his four arms and clenching his fists at his waist.
Registeel waited for a moment and found the onslaught of punches had stopped. It cautiously moved its hands away, only to see the Machamp in a horse stance. Seeing it move its hands, Dash's lips curled into a smile, and then Registeel saw four fists flying toward it simultaneously.
Pain exploded in its face, followed by the sensation of its body being lifted into the air.
"Ni-ke!"
Eat my Dynamic Punch!
Registeel scrambled up from the ground, its head a bit dazed. Seeing Ash and Pikachu before it, it lunged with a Metal Claw.
However, in its dizzy state, it accidentally attacked the bickering Regice and Regirock instead.
With that, the Three Legendary Titans fell into complete internal strife.
Flint and the others reached Brandon's side. Flint looked at the Machamp that had literally hammered Registeel away and couldn't help but comment, "Are the fighting styles of Fighting-type Pokémon always this... simple and unadorned?"
"And terrifying—"
Aaron added.
Riley's Lucario had originally come over to join the fight, only to find everyone staring at it.
Lucario: ( °д°)
What's going on? No, I don't know! How can his Dynamic Punch be that painful—
Lucario looked at its own fists doubtfully, then looked up at Dash's arms, which were several times thicker than its own thighs—
If it took one of those punches, it would definitely be lights out instantly—
"While Regigigas hasn't woken up yet, let's finish off Registeel and the others quickly."
Lucas jumped from Ninetales' back onto Latias' back and spoke to the group.
"My Dusknoir can also help put them to sleep."
Brandon said.
Lucas shook his head. "No need for all that trouble. From here on, you guys just step back."
"Lucas, those are the Three Legendary Titans created by Regigigas—"
After drinking the herbal medicine, Riley had recovered a bit. He stepped forward and spoke.
"Don't worry, Uncle Riley. If Lucas says to leave it to him, it means he has a way. We should just listen to him. You should know, the Manager is someone who beat Palkia and Dialga into a pit."
Ash ran over with Pikachu, speaking with a grin.
Riley: ?
Brandon: ??
Aaron: ???
Lucas: Huh?! How come I didn't know about this?!
Flint: As expected of Lucas!!!
Brandon swallowed hard. Looking at Lucas riding the legendary Latias, he finally understood why the boy named Gary said everything would be fine once backup arrived. So he was an existence that could crush the legendary Duo Gods of Time and Space, Palkia and Dialga—
Brandon nodded and took a few steps back. "In that case, we'll leave it to you, Lucas."
Lucas snapped out of it and waved his hand. "Next, I'll just beat them down."
Lucas looked at the bickering Titans and gritted his teeth.
I might not be able to beat the 'Slow Start' Regigigas, but I can surely handle you three little toilets, right?!
"Dash!"
Dash lowered his center of gravity, building up momentum while gathering energy, then fired off a Focus Blast.
Lucas saw a big 'MISS'—
The Focus Blast hit right between the Three Titans. The Titans were dazed by the sudden attack, but finally, they turned their heads and stared at Dash. They exchanged looks, clearly reaching an agreement.
Which was to take out the enemy in front of them first.
They had intended to make it a three-on-one, but then they saw an elegant Pokémon and a Ninetales with a physique no smaller than the Machamp's standing beside Dash.
"Lilli~"
No translation needed, it's literal.
"Swoosh."
I'll knock you flying!
Regirock was the first to lose its patience, using Earth Power against Lilligant.
Lilligant performed a graceful dance to dodge the fissures in the ground.
Lucas rode Latias, tracing elegant arcs through the sky.
Two different Auras began to slowly merge into a single frequency—
"This is—"
Riley was stunned for a moment.
The bracelet on Lucas's wrist radiated powerful energy and light.
"Bloom Doom!"
Regice also charged forward at this time, its hands wreathed in flames.
Fire Punch vs. Bloom Doom.
Regice was blasted away by the energy beam, landing heavily in front of Regigigas, unable to stand up for the moment.
Everywhere the energy beam passed, flowers bloomed and lush grass grew.
Lilligant slightly lifted her skirt in a curtsy.
"Lilli~"
Regirock: ————
Ninetales looked at Registeel, its fox mouth curling into a charming smile before it began to perform the Moonwalk.
In the sky, the flight path of Lucas and Latias changed too, becoming faster and more aggressive.
"It's happening again—this Aura—"
Riley looked down at Ninetales and saw it spit out a ball of fire, then jump into the flames, using them to drape itself in a coat of fire.
Then, it transformed into a meteor and slammed directly into Registeel.
"Ultra Limit Fireball!"
Registeel: ?!
Don't come any closer!!!
Boom!
Beside Regirock lay a charred, blackened metallic Pokémon.
"Regi—"
Unable to battle—
The lights on Regirock's face flickered. It had just stood up but then lay back down.
Forget it, I'm not getting up.
"Regi—"
Boss—I, I did my best—
Regice charged at Dash, and after trading a few punches, it once again used its hands to cover its face in pain.
It felt its wrists being grabbed by a pair of hands, followed by a surge of terrifying force.
Regice: ?!
Its hands were forcibly pried open by Dash. It looked at the face inches away, clearly not understanding why this was happening.
After all, it was just an ice-head; it didn't understand how a Machamp could be so capable.
"Ni—ke!"
Look at me!!!
Dash used his strength to pry Regice's arms apart, then used one hand to continuously land Dynamic Punches on Regice's face.
His other hand was charging up.
"Focus Punch! Dynamic Punch!"
Amidst Regice's terrified cries, Focus Punch and Dynamic Punch slammed into its face simultaneously.
Regice lay spread-eagled between Regirock and Registeel, its face slightly caved in.
"Regi—"
How can you use Dynamic Punch and Focus Punch at the same time—
"Ni-ke."
I have many hands, got a problem with that?
Flint and Aaron looked at each other, and finally, Flint let out a cough.
The group was speechless for a long time.
A Gengar with Dark Void, a Gothitelle that resisted Regigigas' Hyper Beam and Avalanche, an overly elegant Lilligant, a Ninetales like a heavy truck, and a Machamp with many hands that could use an extra move—
I don't know, it feels like the Pokémon we train are different.
"Alright, let's go handle the aftermath of Regigigas quickly."
Finally, Flint, as an Elite, spoke up.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Brandon looked at the statue-like Regigigas and nodded.
"There shouldn't be any more surprises now."
He rubbed his forehead; today's events had drained too much of his energy.
He hadn't slept for days.
"Mr. Brandon, let's move quickly."
Riley urged from the side, afraid Regigigas would wake up again.
"Don't worry, the effect of Dark Void is very strong."
Brandon gave a reassuring word.
"It probably won't wake up anytime soon."
Just as he finished speaking, Lucas, who was sitting on Latias' back and about to fly back, felt a chill down his spine—
He cautiously looked back and saw the lights on Regigigas' body starting to flicker rapidly.
Then its body slowly began to move.
"Regi—Regi!"
Regigigas let out a booming roar, and then a Hyper Beam shot toward Lucas and Latias in the sky.
Latias ascended rapidly. Feeling the weightlessness, Lucas could only cling tightly to Latias' neck.
After dodging the Hyper Beam, Lucas's roar came from high above.
"Brandon, shut your mouth!! Ahhhh!!!"
Lucas's voice started to crack at the end—
Brandon: ————
Brandon slapped his own mouth.
"I really didn't mean to—"
Riley quickly covered Brandon's mouth.
"Don't say it, don't say another word—"
Brandon was on the verge of tears.
