Chapter 436 Regigigas: I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush.
Xuefeng City.
Located in the northernmost part of the Sinnoh region, it is a winter city where ice flowers shimmer all year round.
"Achoo—!"
When Qingyu arrived over Snowpeak City on his Salamence, the sudden drop in temperature caused him to sneeze several times.
"If I had known it would be this cold, I would have worn an extra cotton-padded coat."
After noticing the Snow Peak Temple below, which had shrunk countless times, Qingyu patted the back of the Flying Dragon.
"We've arrived."
"Click!"
Salamence let out a loud response, then immediately plummeted straight down, twisting into a 90° right angle in the air.
"Hey, slow down!!!"
The sudden increase in speed forced Qingyu to cling to its neck.
Fortunately, their flight altitude wasn't too high to begin with, and a few seconds later, the Salamence braked suddenly and landed on the snow, drawing a golden arc.
"Click!"
Salamence seemed quite satisfied with its perfect performance, but Blue Feather, sitting on its back, was being rocked back and forth, completely oblivious to what was happening in the world.
"Maybe next time we should take the Milerton."
"Huh?!"
A remark Qingyu made unintentionally caused severe psychological trauma to the still-childish Flying Dragon.
After calming down the Salamence's little temper and finally landing safely, Qingyu immediately noticed that there seemed to be someone standing not far in front of him.
A young girl wearing a thin school uniform and cute pigtails even in the freezing cold.
Whether for fashion or to adapt to her ice-like nature, she wore only a short skirt and long stockings, and even her coat was casually tied around her waist.
Qingyu recognized her.
Song, the gym leader of Snow Peak Gym, is known as "the girl of Diamond Dust".
(Xiao Song)
As for why she was here, it was probably to coordinate a mission with me.
Qingyu tapped Salamence's hard, clumsy forehead with a Poké Ball, then recalled it back into the ball and walked straight towards Xiaosong.
"That's great, it really is Teacher Yu!"
As they approached, Xiao Song immediately came to greet them.
Perhaps because of the weather, her face was already a little red from the cold.
Although she really wanted to ask her if she was cold, after judging from her address that the girl who ran the venue was also one of her fans, Qingyu unconsciously straightened her posture.
As a senior, I can't afford to lose face.
"Hello, Miss Xiaosong."
Qingyu greeted her with a smile and waved.
"Welcome to Xuefeng City, Teacher Yu!"
Xiao Song also showed a kind smile.
"I never expected to meet Yu-sensei in Sinnoh. I'm so lucky."
"Teacher Yu, I'm a huge fan of yours! I've learned so many interesting tactics from your live streams, and all the newbies who tried them said they were great!"
?
For a moment, Qingyu couldn't quite tell whether the young girl in front of him was speaking from the heart or deliberately trying to mislead him.
What does it mean when newcomers all say it's good?
Why do I only get negative reviews when I use it myself?
"What have you learned?"
Unable to contain her curiosity, Qingyu took the initiative to ask.
"It's really nothing."
Xiao Song scratched her head a little embarrassedly.
"That is, using Çalhan to transfer the Yoga Power ability to Mamoswine or Mallowa, and using Jynx to create Trick Room for Mega Abomasnow, etc."
What came out of her mouth was an unexpected and perfectly normal tactic.
Qingyu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
I knew it! There must be quite a few decent people among my fans.
Like Xiaosong in front of us, she is a bright and cheerful young woman who is consistent inside and out.
So, the "ghostly" gameplay of the viewers doesn't mean it's the same as Teacher Yu's "ghostly" gameplay. Sometimes, it's better to look for your own problems!
"It is an honor for me to be regarded as a role model by other dojo masters."
Qingyu seemed very happy, so he patted Xiaosong on the shoulder with a smile.
"Keep it up, I really believe in you!"
"yes!"
Xiao Song originally wanted to say something more, but seemed to suddenly remember that she had something important to do, so she immediately clapped her hands.
"Oh, I almost forgot!"
"Teacher Yu, you've come here to enter the Snow Peak Temple, haven't you? I'll take you inside now!"
Looking at Xiaosong's energetic back, Qingyu's eyes were full of satisfaction.
What an energetic girl! I knew that most of the gym leaders I trained would be normal people!
The Snow Peak Temple is an ancient building situated on a cliff edge, so large that it has six floors and is made entirely of rock.
It seems that the ancient Sinnoh people specially built it to protect the legendary giant Regigigas, allowing it to enjoy a peaceful sleep. Therefore, most of the building extends underground and has stood for thousands of years.
When Qingyu followed Xiaosong to the edge of the cliff, he couldn't help but be impressed by the wisdom of the Shin'ou people.
Isn't this tantamount to burying Regigigas alive?
However, it is a legendary giant after all, so perhaps it prefers the feeling of being close to the ley lines?
Moreover, this design has a clear advantage.
If Regigigas were to suddenly feel rested and want to get up and move around, the collapsed Snow Peak Temple would be the best warning.
Is this the wisdom of the ancients?
It's a bit labor-intensive, though; building another temple would probably take quite a while.
"Teacher Yu, I won't go in—"
Just as Qingyu was about to continue forward, she suddenly heard Xiaosong speak softly beside her.
"That's a legendary giant. If it suddenly awakens, I feel that with my strength, I'll only be a burden to you."
Xiao Song is quite self-aware of her own abilities.
However, Qingyu simply waved his hand casually.
"It's alright. Although we did come here today to wake it up, it's unlikely that we can actually do so."
As is well known, Regigigas is characterized by slow start.
In the Pokémon games of the previous life, although it looked like a monster with a terrifying base attack stat of 160 and a total of 670, it was the only "legendary" Pokémon with no restrictions on battle rules.
Even without restrictions, almost no one would use it.
The reason is this absurdly bad constipation characteristic, which is even worse than laziness.
Its attack and speed are halved in the first five rounds, so it might still be warming up even after the battle is over.
In reality, this characteristic is even more outrageous.
Qingyu didn't know how long Regigigas would remain grumpy after being woken up this time before regaining consciousness.
"Are you sure everything's okay?"
Xiao Song was a little worried.
Although I am indeed curious about that legendary giant, I'd better not be willful if her appearance causes trouble for Teacher Yu's work.
"—Never mind, just to be on the safe side, I'll go first."
Qingyu thought about it and figured that since Regigigas would definitely be exposed to everyone in Snowpeak City when it came out, there would be plenty of opportunities to take pictures, so it wouldn't make a difference if it took a little longer.
So, under Xiao Song's watchful gaze, he walked alone into the Snow Peak Temple.
At this moment, Xiao Song couldn't help but admire Qing Yu:
As expected of Teacher Yu, he doesn't even put that legendary giant in his eyes!
Of course, Qingyu was unaware of her inner thoughts.
He walked on the ice as he entered the Snow Peak Temple, and soon descended three levels.
Previous games featured various special terrains in important buildings, such as the Sky Pillar, which required speeding and maneuvering on a bicycle to pass through, or the "puzzle" mini-game where you couldn't turn around once you stepped on ice.
However, games are games, and reality is obviously incredibly free.
So Qingyu chose the simplest way to skip class.
"Crack!!!"
The Salamence, which had been retrieved into its Poké Ball by Qingyu, made a dazzling reappearance, easily dodging stone pillars even indoors and traversing two levels of stairs.
Under the "ramming" of the Salamence, the man and the dragon quickly arrived at the fifth underground level, where Regigigas was sleeping.
As soon as Qingyu entered the bottom level, she immediately felt the already cold air around her become even more biting, and instinctively crossed her arms.
Similar to the layout Qingyu remembered, except for a small section of floor when you first go downstairs, most of the ground here is completely covered by a layer of ice.
But reality isn't like a game where you have a god's-eye view. If he were to take the normal route, Qingyu felt he'd probably bang his head against a wall until he questioned the meaning of life.
But it doesn't matter, I can fly!
"Salamander, fly over there and take a look."
"Click!"
Riding on the back of the Salamence, Qingyu pointed, and the Salamence immediately took him to a small open space on the other side.
At this very moment, the headless giant who had been sitting on the ground was sleeping in front of Qingyu.
It has a huge white body, with a yellow strip-like structure replacing the upward extension of the neck, which naturally extends forward to the crotch, with seven round holes arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper.
Because it was lying on the ground, its arms hung down naturally, with three fingers on each side below the yellow discs that looked like cuffs. Its feet were covered with vegetation that remained green even in the freezing cold.
Such a vividly depicted creature could only be Regigigas.
(The legendary giant, Regigigas)
The encyclopedia lists this giant's height as 3.7 meters, but this figure is likely a bit conservative.
After all, it was a giant that once dragged the earth and created the current world tectonic plates, so even if it was hundreds of meters tall, Qingyu wouldn't find it strange.
but----
Perhaps because it was fast asleep, the three pairs of eye-like dots of different colors on either side of its chest were now dull and showed no signs of waking up.
It looks more like a giant statue than a living organism.
What should we do? Should we use some special method to wake it up?
Qingyu fell into thought.
Should we go to Daigo and borrow the three Titans? It seems that this was the method used to awaken it in the earliest version.
But if you think about it carefully, there must be some deeper reason.
After all, the three divine pillars don't have any special power; they are just "self" created by Regigigas.
So, Qingyu began to try. He first planned to use Milton's properties to create an electric field so that Regigigas would not fall asleep.
However, this tactic had no effect.
The giant, whose power originates from the earth, is so powerful that even Milton's "electricity" is insufficient to cause it the slightest pain.
After that, he tried playing the Celestial Flute, hoping that this special item would work.
However, nothing happened.
Looking at the giant who had fallen asleep without any sign of waking up, Qingyu sighed inwardly.
This is so troublesome!
Come to think of it, Hunter J in the anime also seemed to have awakened this giant, causing it to temporarily go berserk.
How did she do it?
Qingyu tried hard to recall her childhood memories, and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her.
That's right, it's about destroying the three pillars on the bottom layer!
These correspond to the pillars of ice, rock, and steel of Regice, Regirock, and Registeel, respectively.
Qingyu looked around and quickly located their position.
The thought that his Pokémon was Salamence suddenly gave him a sense of déjà vu.
Hunter J is actually myself?
However, it seems that this is the only way to get Regigigas to "get up and go back to sleep".
"Click!"
Under Qingyu's command, the Salamence quickly used its claws in mid-air and easily broke through the three pillars located in different directions.
"Boom!"
When the stone pillar broke, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently, and a deafening sound followed, echoing throughout the lowest level of the temple.
A hostile red light flashed before Qingyu's eyes, followed by a deafening roar.
"Re-Gee—!"
A deep, dull metallic sound came from behind.
Qingyu turned around and immediately noticed that the three-colored dots on the giant's chest were flashing, indicating that it had obviously awakened.
Perhaps those three pillars were what allowed it to rest peacefully?
Even Regigigas would be angry if his comfortable sleep was forcibly disturbed.
but----
Before it could make a move, the tiny human in front of it suddenly spoke first: "Open your eyes, Regigigas."
"I am the messenger of Arceus, bringing with me His new instructions."
'
"Regigigas, who had no eyes and could not speak, fell silent."
Perhaps because it had just woken up, it was very slow to react in all aspects and remained in a daze for more than five minutes until Qingyu became a little impatient before it took action again.
The six dots on its chest suddenly emitted light, as if it were examining Qingyu in this peculiar way.
Although he didn't know how Regigigas did it, Qingyu simply stood there and waited for it to finish scanning him.
Anyway, everything he said was true; it really was that alpaca who felt guilty who sent him.
A few minutes later, the light that Regigigas had shot out retracted into its body, and its anger gradually subsided.
Regigigas, who had stood up, remained motionless, seemingly waiting for Qingyu to continue.
"Actually, it's nothing serious."
Qingyu pursed her lips.
"Arceus sent me to ask you, do you have any wishes that you wish to have fulfilled?"
After Qingyu finished speaking, he saw the dot on Regigigas's chest begin to flash and then go out rhythmically. He guessed that this was a special action when it was thinking, so he added a few more words.
"Ah, if you're struggling with this, just stay here and think about it. We'll talk about it when I get back."
"Because I can't understand what you're saying, I need to find a translator. I should be able to help you fulfill your wish when we meet next time."
"That's it, bye-bye~"
Qingyu waved to Regigigas.
But it remained unmoved, perhaps because its brain couldn't function properly during a slow start, so it simply sat down on the ground and concentrated all its energy on thinking about the question Qingyu had just raised.
desire?
Okay, another case of decision paralysis.
Zhu Lan might struggle with this for a few hours, but as for Regigigas...
Who knows?
Maybe it still won't have decided by the time it returns to Sinnoh.
I can't wait any longer!
Qingyu instantly felt a strong sense of déjà vu, so he decisively sat on the back of the Salamence.
And so, his last task in Sinnoh was finally completed.
