Chapter 214: Regirock


    "Regirock!"


    Seeing the Pokémon before him, Julian''s mouth opened slightly in surprise. His expression was speechless—it seemed like every battle he entered involved encountering something extraordinary.


    Now even Legendary Pokémon were showing up.


    Regirock, alongside Regice and Registeel, was part of the trio known as the Legendary Titans. Due to their respective types, they were often referred to as the Rock Titan, Ice Titan, and Steel Titan.


    ording to legend, these three Pokémon were created by the ancient first-ss legendary Pokémon Regigigas to serve as itspanions and protectors.


    Their depictions could often be found in ancient ruins, adding to the air of mystery surrounding them.

    It was no surprise that Regirock was another Elite-level Pokémon. Thankfully, Julian had sent out Metagross; if he''d chosen Melmetal, things might have gottenplicated.


    With Regirock''s appearance, the stadium and live stream audience erupted.


    "Holy shit—this ticket was so worth it! Yesterday, we saw the Steel-type Mythical Pokémon Melmetal. Today, it''s the Legendary Rock Titan, Regirock!"


    "To all those who skipped the live event, regret it yet?"


    "We''de if we could! The tickets were sold out ages ago!"


    "Scalpers are cking. Just because they got busted a few times, they''ve gone soft. Don''t they know that adversity is the time to rise up stronger?"


    "Why didn''t Julian send out Melmetal? Then we''d get to see a Mythical Pokémon versus a Legendary Pokémon!"


    "Quick theory: do you think Pierce has the other two Titans?"


    "It''s not impossible... maybe a 0.01% chance?"


    If the three Titans gathered, they could generate a powerful barrier. In fact, three Elite-level Titans could create a barrier strong enough to fend off a Champion.


    In the Pyramid Kingdom, their Champion was known to own two Titans—Registeel and Regice.


    (T/N: should be Egypt)


    That country, rich in ancient ruins, had a higher concentration of the Legendary Titanspared to others.


    --


    "Regirock, Rock Throw!"


    Pierce initiated the first move.


    Regirock''s head, adorned with a pattern of seven orange dots forming an "H" shape, began to glow as the orange dots flickered brightly.


    Chunks of rock, each the size of a car, materialized above Metagross and came crashing down, casting massive shadows over the battlefield.


    With a sharp sound, Metagross vanished from its position, utilizing <em>Teleport</em>.


    The falling boulders smashed into the ground, leaving deep craters where the Pokémon had been.


    "Metagross, Mega Evolve!" Julianmanded.


    Regirock was Level 72, and Metagross, at Level 65, could hold its own against standard Elites, but Regirock was no ordinary opponent. It was likely capable of fighting above its level.


    Mega Evolution was a necessity here.


    Brilliant, prismatic light engulfed Metagross, and in moments, its Mega Evolution waspleted. Mega Metagross stood tall, its Level temporarily boosted to 71.


    "Metal w!"


    Mega Metagross transformed into a streak of silver light, closing the gap between itself and Regirock in an instant. Its ws shimmered, slicing through the air with incredible force.


    Under the <em>Tough ws</em> ability, contact moves like this gained a 30% power boost, making the attack even more ferocious.


    "Dynamic Punch!"


    Pierce countered without hesitation.


    Regirock''s massive fist shot forward, tearing through the air. The impact of its punch meeting Metagross'' w sent shockwaves across the battlefield.


    <strong>"Boom!!"</strong>


    The ground beneath Regirock cracked instantly, spiderweb-like fissures radiating outward for hundreds of meters.


    In closebat, Metagross never backed down from any opponent—let alone in its Mega Evolution form now.


    The force behind Metagross'' <em>Metal w</em>caused Regirock to stagger backward.


    Seizing the opportunity, Metagross retracted its w and swung its other arm, aiming a <em>Hammer Arm</em>directly at Regirock''s head.


    "Regirock, Iron Defense!"


    "<em>ng!</em>"


    The sound of metal striking metal echoed loudly as Regirock hastily activated Iron Defense. While it managed to block the full force of the attack, the impact drove most of its body into the ground.


    Regirock''s head, with its glowing orange H-shaped pattern, began shing rapidly. A yellow beam shot from it, striking Metagross.


    Although the beam caused no damage, it left a distinct mark on the X-shaped cross on Metagross'' forehead.


    "What''s that mark?" Lisa asked, puzzled.


    "It''s Lock-On, only a few Pokémon can learn this move. Once it marks a target, the user''s next attack is guaranteed to hit."


    Jose sitting next to her exined.


    Julian, well aware of <em>Lock-On''s</em>effect, didn''t want to give Regirock a chance to counterattack.


    <em>Lock-On</em>had a time limit, and once the time was up, the <em>Lock-On</em>mark will disappear.


    "Metagross, keep up the pressure!"


    "Regirock, Superpower!"


    Pierce''s voice rang out as Regirock unleashed a devastating <em>Superpower</em>. The strength it unleashed was terrifying, causing the air around it to crack and explode audibly.


    The raw force of Regirock''s attack overpowered Metagross'' <em>Meteor Mash</em>, sending the steel titan hurtling hundreds of meters backward.


    However, while <em>Superpower</em>was incredibly powerful, it came with a cost—reducing Regirock''s Attack and Defense after each use.


    "Regirock, Zap Cannon!"


    <em>Zap Cannon</em>was a powerful move. If it hit, paralysis was guaranteed. However, its uracy was notoriously low—except now, thanks to <em>Lock-On</em>. With the mark on Metagross, <em>Zap Cannon''s</em>hit rate effectively became 100%.


    A brilliant crimson-yellow <em>Zap Cannon</em>wasunched, encircled by crackling electrical currents. The battlefield echoed with the sharp, relentless sound of electricity arcing in every direction.


    Against the <em>Lock-On</em>and <em>Zap Cannon</embination, countering with a ranged move was futile. Even if Metagross unleashed <em>Hyper Beam</em>to intercept, the guided Zap Cannon would simply curve to strike its target.


    "Protect" Julian said calmly.


    A bright, emerald-green barrier formed around Mega Metagross,pletely encasing it.


    The <em>Zap Cannon</em>struck the shield with a deafening <em>boom,</em>generating immense force that kept pushing Metagross backward but the protective barrier held firm.


    "Rock st!" Pierce called out suddenly.


    Julian''s expression shifted. He realized with a sinking feeling that Mega Metagross had been pushed into the same area where Regirock had used <em>Rock Throw</em>earlier.


    The battlefield was littered with massive boulders—perfect ammunition for <em>Rock st.</em>


    In an instant, the piled rocks became vtile explosives, charged with immense Rock-type energy. The boulders detonated one after another, their sts creating shockwaves that sent debris flying.


    <em>"Boom! Boom! Boom!"</em>


    In an instant, there were mes everywhere, apanied by arge number of Rock fragments, and Mega Metagross was directly drowned by these endless me.
