After helping Calyrex reacquire his steed, the next legend was already in progress.
"Okay. So next we look into the Elemental Giants aka...the Regi's." Titanica said. "Sugarcoat?"
"From my journey across Hoenn, there are at least four members. Regirock, Regice, Registeel and the boss of them all, Regigigas. However, while I see temples related to the first three, this fourth one puzzles me." she said bringing up a photo of a temple with yellow on one half and red on the other.
"Hmm. Is it possible there may be two new Titans?" Miriam asked.
"Seems that way." Cheetah said.
"However, thanks to Richard...seems the temple will only open once the other three have been captured." Sugarcoat said.
"So I guess yours won't work here, huh?" Himiko asked.
"They would have to be the ones that live in this area." Simon said.
"It would seem the temple knows the difference." Sugarcoat said. "Getting into each temple and capturing each Regi shouldn't be too difficult."
"Yes. Each temple has a riddle that gives a hint on what you're supposed to do to open them." Cheetah said.
"So what's the first one?" Selena asked.
"Either one doesn't matter to me." Siege remarked.
"We should start with Registeel since it's closer to the camp." Sugarcoat said. "Plus, entering the temple is the easiest." she said as they headed to the temple. "Observe." she said, giving a whistle as the door opened right up.
"Wait, that's all we needed to do?" Mermista asked.
"The riddle on the door said, 'Let ring the piercing note that will awaken the giant of steel.'" Gus remarked. "Of course a whistle has the highest note, and it has enough resonance to vibrate metal."
"Well, makes sense." Allison said.
They entered the temple where a statue stood and dots on the ground.
"And to awaken...just light up these lights." Sugarcoat said stepping on each one till they glowed as Registeel appeared before them all.
"Whoa!" Ajna said.
"Behold, Registeel." Hope said.
"Wow, look at all the metal on its body!" Ginseng observed with his magnifying glass. "It's like a walking tank from the Iron Kingdom!"
"No time to admire this thing. It's time to get to catching." Vashyron said.
Registeel then gathered electricity before firing Charge Beam at them.
"Incoming!" David said as they avoided the attack.
"Guess it's time to bring in some reinforcements. Let's go!" Jessica said as she sent out a Rhydon.
"Let's turn up the heat!" Simon said, bringing out Pyro.
"Right behind you." Titanica said sending out Sirfetch'd.
Registeel prepared to fire a Flash Cannon at them.
"Attack in sync!" Titanica said.
"Let's see… I guess I can go for High Horsepower!" Jessica said.
"Follow it up with a Flare Blitz, Pyro!" Simon added.
"And Sirfetch'd, use Brick Break!" Titanica said.
The three Pokémon charged into Registeel, taking it down before it could fire its Flash Cannon.
"Victory is ours." Simon said.
"Uh, I'm not an expert, but don't we need to catch Registeel to make it official?" Catra asked.
"Don't worry. We're getting to that." Raine said.
"Why don't you keep them on you, Raine?" Hope said. "It would make sense for someone connected to ancient history to do so."
"Okay. I'll hold onto them for now." Raine said as she sent a Pokéball at Registeel. After a bit, Registeel was caught.
"Alright, one down. Where to next?" Scorpia asked.
"Regirock since it's closer. We'll need to use this." Sugarcoat said holding an Everstone.
"An Everstone. One that's said to prevent a Pokemon holding it from evolving." David said.
"Regirock's temple requires us holding an ever changing stone. This is the closest to that." Sugarcoat said.
They approached the temple as the door opened. Lighting up the floor, Regirock then dropped down before them.
"When it comes to a Rock-type like this, there's only one type that should be obvious. Fighting-types." Hope said.
"There's more to it than just Fighting." Simon said, bringing out Splasher.
"Yeah, Water and Grass work just as well." Titanica said, sending out a Lapras.
Both Pokémon then attacked it with water before taking it down and allowing Raine to capture it.
"Now all that remains is Regice. For its temple...we'll need a Cryogonal." Sugarcoat said.
"A Cryogonal eh?" Frosta asked.
"Got one ready." Agito said, letting it out.
They approached the temple with Cryogonal as the temple opened. Lighting up the floor, Regice soon dropped down before them.
"Well, here we go." Sectonia said, sending out Camerupt.
"Quite right." Titanica said, sending out Cinderace. "Now...let's go!" she said.
Both fire Pokémon struck Regice with fire moves before Raine caught it.
"That's it...all three Regi's. Entering the last temple should be easy now." Sugarcoat said.
The group then headed to the final temple at Three Point Pass, as its doors opened up. Stepping in though...Raine felt a familiar feeling overtake her.
"Ah… This place is so magnificent! Fascinating! Astounding! Such a marvel can only be described in legends!" Raine said.
"Here we go again…" Emil said.
"I'm sorry about this, Richard. Raine is kind of an ancient history buff." Hope said.
"Yeah… I kind of figured that from our trip to the Mystic Realm." Richard said. "So… What are we supposed to do here?"
"Hmm… I'm not quite sure. I see two different sides here, but…" David said.
"Uh, guys? We might have a problem." Glimmer said, noticing the lights on the floor. "There are more of these stones than usual. And I think they're all supposed to connect to one of the two patterns we saw outside. I think this temple will only let us choose one of the Regis sleeping in this temple, and there's no take backs."
"So we can only choose one?" Hope said.
"Will you guys stop…" Raine said, feeling a sort of energy flowing through her. "What...what is this? Is this because I'm the one holding the Regis?" she said as two separate energies in the temple surged.
"Hold on… The requirement for this temple is to bring all three of them here, right?" Cheetah asked.
"That's right. Why are you asking? Wait… Are you insisting on doing what I think you're about to do?" David asked.
"Yes. If I battle Raine when she is in that state, the resulting energy should be enough to fully awaken both golems." Cheetah said.
"You sure about this? I hope you know what you're doing." David said.
"Relax. I've come prepared." Cheetah said as she has three Pokéballs on herself.
"Wait, you've been catching some yourself, haven't you?" Mayumi asked.
"I've been wanting to avoid it, but...seems I don't have a choice." Cheetah said.
"The way we see it, we seem to be running out of options. Let's hope this works." David said.
"How can you be so calm? For the sake of not getting another earful from her, it BETTER work." Eddy said.
Cheetah stepped up to the field opposite of Raine.
"Just in case, I'll be on standby. I'd rather this not go bad, thank you." Siege said.
"I don't think that will be necessary. I know her well. She's got something in mind." David said.
Raine, on instinct, sent out Regirock. Cheetah followed it up with Espeon.
"The energy coming from Regirock is… Oh! I see what she's doing now!" David said.
"Through battling the other 3 Regis, she'll lure out the mystery duo. Genius!" Entrapta said.
"Let's start this off simple. Psychic!" Cheetah said.
Espeon hit Regirock with a powerful psychic blast, making it stumble back.
Raine then raised her arm in response. "Hammer Arm." she said as Regirock rose its arm up high to smash Espeon with.
"Not good enough. Iron Tail!" Cheetah said.
Espeon nailed Regirock dead on before taking it down.
"Thankfully, the Regi's are still weak from the battles earlier." Titanica said.
"That's a good thing." Siege mused. "Let's just hope Cheetah can keep the battle drawn out long enough for this plan to work."
Raine sends out Registeel next.
"Hmm… This could be tougher than Regirock. Let's start with Shadow Ball." Cheetah said.
Espeon fired a Shadow Ball at Registeel dealing some damage to it as it stumbled back.
Raine pointed straight at Cheetah and Espeon. "Lock...On." she said monotony as Registeel activated the move.
"She called lock on…. Her next attack won't miss." Cheetah said. "Finish this quickly, Espeon! Psychic Fangs!"
Espeon lunged at Registeel with her fangs glowing as she bit at Registeel. Registeel then fell back as Raine recalled it and sent out Regice.
"This is the last one. Taking Regice down should do it. Let's start with an Iron Tail." Cheetah said.
Espeon jumped at Regice, smacking it with its tail, knocking it backwards into the wall.
"One last Psychic, Espeon." Cheetah said.
Espeon hit Regice with another Psychic blast, knocking Regice out as it was recalled, Raine flopping to her knees.
"Apologies, Sage." Cheetah said.
"Mmm… Don't worry. I'm fine." Raine said as she slowly got back up.
"So, do you think we got the attention of the final two golems?" Bow asked.
The temple started to rumble at this. "I believe so. The energy from our battle seems to have awakened them." Raine said.
"Oh boy… get ready…!" Siege said.
The statue started to glow and shake as appearing in the room were two different beings of energy. One was made of electricity and the other was red with dragonic arms.
"Hmm. Rotomphone...check them out." Sci-Twi said.
"Bzzt! Regieleki, the Electron Pokémon! An Electric Type! Its entire body is made up of a single organ that generates electrical energy. Regieleki is capable of creating all Galar's electricity. Bzzt! Regidrago, the Dragon Orb Pokémon! A Dragon Type! Its body is composed of crystallized dragon energy. Regidrago is said to have the powers of every dragon Pokémon." Rotomphone said.
"They sound pretty strong." Siege said with a chuckle.
"Based on the descriptions, they are. And the fact that they were able to maintain control over my body during that battle is no small feat." Raine said.
"So, who's gonna take which Regi to fight?" Siege asked.
"We'll just have to battle them and then capture them." Titanica said.
"Fair enough. I'll take the dragon one, if you take the electric one." Siege said to Titanica.
"Sounds like a plan." Titanica said. "Go, Krookodile!" she said.
"Time to reveal my new friend! Go! Moeru Tsaiyo!" Siege yelled as he threw his Pokémon…
And revealing a Solgaleo, who roared out.
"You caught that in the lair, didn't you?" Sci-Twi asked with a sly smile.
"Oh, no. I didn't inform you all I had been to the Alola region before have I? Then again, you all should have figured that with Frosterra." Siege said. "I earned Moeru Tsaiyo's trust, Moeru for short, and now he fights alongside me as both Pokémon and Gijinka."
"Well, you are from a different dimension from us. So that actually makes much more sense." Mayumi said.
"Well...let's work hard together and take these Regi's down." Titanica said.
"Roger that! Alright Moeru, show this Regi what you're made of! Blast it with Flash Cannon!" Siege yelled, as Flash Cannon was fired at Regidrago.
Regidrago was hit before it jumped into the air as its arms morphed and changed into a dragon's head before firing red energy at Moeru who dodged at the last moment.
"Good dodge! Now! Leap up and send it crashing down with Gyro Ball!" Siege yelled as Moeru jumped high into the air, before spinning into a ball and slamming down into Regidrago, both Legendaries crashing into the ground as Moeru leapt out of the smoking crater. With Regidrago down, Siege threw a Poké Ball, and with a few shakes, it was caught. "Gotcha!"
Regieleki recovered first, leaping into the air and let out a cage of electricity and trapped Krookodile.
"I see...so it uses electricity to form a cage. Nice...however...that won't work." Titanica said as Krookodile used Dig. Regieleki looked around before Krookodile struck a powerful strike to it as it sputtered a bit. "Now!" she said tossing a ball at Regieleki. The ball shook for a bit before it clicked. "Got it!"
"Well, guess that settles that." Raine said as something enters her mind. "Ugh… Not again."
"Raine, calm down. I think Regidrago wants to tell us something." David said.
Siege nodded, soon letting Regidrago out of the Pokéball to speak its mind.
"Well done...you have succeeded in besting the three Regis and in turn defeating both me and Eleki." it said through Raine.
"It wasn't that easy, they were really strong." Jessica said.
"And even though I defeated the other three in weakened states with just Espeon, they still put up quite a challenge." Cheetah said.
"Yeah, I noticed that. I know you don't seem the type, but I don't know why you considered it before." David said.
"It was mostly because of my appearance. Most of them would probably be fearful of the sight of me." Cheetah said.
"Still, you all have succeeded. For that, you have our congratulations. We shall follow you." Regidrago said.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me. What about the three that Raine caught to get us here? Will they want to stay with her, or will she have to lend them to someone else?" David said.
"Those three are mindless dolls created by our creator. Unlike me and Eleki, they follow anyone no matter who they are." Regidrago said. "Unlike them, we were made from energy and have a bit more of a consciousness."
"So does this mean I get to keep you or do you want a different trainer to hang with?" Siege asked Regidrago.
"You were the one who caught me. It is on you to decide." Regidrago said.
"Well, if I get to take at least one Legendary Pokémon home with me from this journey, it would be my honor to make it you." Siege responded to Regidrago.
"Your strength has been proven. Therefore, I shall follow you as you will wish." Regidrago said.
Siege nodded before returning Regidrago to his Pokéball, releasing Raine from his control. "Alright, done and done… now… which legend are we tackling next?"
"The one that those two were talking about." Genis said. "At the Games, I overheard Zacian and Zamazenta talking about a trio heading for the Crown Tundra. I didn't get much but...they usually meet at a huge tree."
"A tree? There's only one tree they could meet up at. It's called the Dyna Tree on Dyna Tree hill. In the middle of Ballimere Lake. It's not that far from here actually." Titanica said.
"So, what say we take a look?" Francisca asked.
"Totally. Let's go!" Siege said, excited about the adventure ahead.
