Chapter 664: Meeting Milotic Again
Sitting on the grassland and looking around.
Even though there were plenty of dragon cubs surrounding him.
He had to admit.
The grassland today felt rather lonely.
As for the reason.
It was probably due to the relocation of the tribes.
The current territory of the Dragon Clan.
From north to south, it encompassed eight major terrains: wetland, rocky mountain, snowfield, swamp, grassland, volcano, rainforest, and desert.
Comparing Kazuya's territory with the landmass of the League Era.
The Dragon Clan's territory.
Was equivalent to ruling over five regions.
It was incredibly exaggerated.
How big were five regions?
Sinnoh, Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Kalos.
The remaining ones.
Like Alola and Orre, even combined, could only compare to a single Kanto or Johto.
Therefore.
The Dragon Clan currently occupied half of the continent.
And this discovery.
Also confirmed a hypothesis Kazuya had over twenty years ago when he first arrived in this world—the continent had not yet split, and the division of regions had not yet formed.
It was precisely because of this.
That Pokémon from various regions in the future would appear together in the same terrain now.
But it was the same old problem.
With a larger territory.
It was somewhat hard to keep an eye on everything.
Furthermore.
Some tribes were genuinely not suited for living in the grassland, but rather in other terrains.
Therefore, after seeking their opinions, Kazuya had relocated them.
The Flygons.
Were just one of them.
Kommo-o, Goodra, Altaria, Scrafty, Hydreigon...
These tribes had all basically undergone a migration.
The Kommo-o went to the forest.
The Scrafty went to the rocky mountains.
The Altaria and Hydreigon came to the grassland.
The Goodra clan went to the wetland.
However, that clingy Goodra insisted on staying by Kazuya's side.
The relocations weren't few.
Everyone felt more or less reluctant to part.
But this was all for the sake of improving the tribes' quality of life.
Seeing these changes.
Kazuya couldn't help but have some doubts.
Could it be that those Pokémon living in their respective environments in the future were due to his current actions?
For example.
In the future, it was basically impossible to find Hydreigon and Altaria anywhere other than the grassland.
Trainers traveling would also frequently encounter the provocations of Scrafty in rocky and barren terrains.
However.
Kazuya no longer cared about these things.
If it changed, it changed.
Instead, over the past seven years, the four newly added dragon species remained in their original locations.
Noivern, Sceptile, Aurorus, Dragapult.
The first two were in the rainforest.
The latter two were in the snowfield.
Even the snowfield being absorbed by the Dragon Clan was an act of the Tyrantrum acting first and reporting later.
He had inadvertently heard about the existence of Aurorus from Kazuya.
Then he eagerly went to challenge them.
A mere snowfield Overlord.
How could they be a match for the former Overlord of the rocky mountains?
Therefore, Aurorus was conquered, and the snowfield submitted to the Dragon Clan's territory.
It wasn't that other dragons couldn't be found in the desert and wetland.
But they were basically existing species like Flygon and Goodra.
Thud!
A heavy sound came from beside his ear.
Turning his head, he saw the ten-meter-tall Regigigas bump its head against the ground.
Kazuya couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
That wasn't practicing Iron Head, Headbutt, or similar moves.
That was purely falling asleep and toppling over.
Pat, pat.
Kazuya walked forward and patted Regigigas's big face:
"Hey, Iron Pillar, you're sleeping way too often. Be careful not to sleep your brain away, hahaha..."
Whoosh~
Regigigas 'opened its eyes' somewhat blankly.
It slowly sat up on the ground, stared blankly for a few seconds, and finally 'booted up' successfully.
The duration of Regigigas's boot-up time was related to the duration of its sleep.
The longer it slept.
The longer it took to boot up.
Just like before when it tunneled out from under the rocky mountains.
According to Regigigas, it had been woken up by the tremors and then stayed underground for a long time.
Kazuya had originally thought it was the battle between the Dragon Clan and the Bug Clan that woke Regigigas up.
But thinking about it later.
When Regigigas appeared, it was already in a fully activated state, but the Dragon-Bug war only lasted half a day, which definitely wasn't enough for a full activation.
Connecting this to the time the Bug Clan emerged from underground.
Kazuya finally confirmed.
It was the battle between Groudon and Kyogre that woke it up.
"But if I don't sleep, what else can I do?"
Regigigas's 'tone' was full of confusion.
Teaching telepathy was absolutely the right move.
Ordinary people simply couldn't judge its current emotions by observing the expression of this golem.
If Kazuya didn't have Aura or Psychic powers, he probably wouldn't be able to either.
That would cause some barriers in communication.
But telepathy could convey the tone, allowing the listener to understand its emotions.
"You still haven't learned the elemental punches I taught you, have you?"
Kazuya stared at it silently.
It was incredible.
Regigigas's move pool was quite barren.
It wasn't that the moves it could learn were few, but that it had never actively tried to learn any.
Up until now.
The moves it had mastered were all learned naturally through leveling up.
Over these seven years.
In the first few years, Kazuya taught it Psychic powers, as well as some theoretical knowledge of this world.
Later, he basically taught it moves.
But Regigigas had no interest in this at all; every time they talked about this, it got sleepy.
It was just like Kazuya listening to a teacher teach physics in school back in the day.
Regigigas fell silent, guiltily raising a hand to scratch its head.
"Otherwise, you can reminisce, recall those beautiful things from the past."
Kazuya grinned, not continuing to make things difficult for it, but instead saying, "You've lived for so long, don't you have memories that you get lost in when you think of them?"
He knew.
Although Regigigas held the title of Colossal Pokémon, it was actually just a dull child.
Because it didn't like fighting and didn't want to hurt others.
Therefore, it had no interest in learning new moves.
It probably felt it wouldn't need to use them.
Kazuya didn't want to force it either.
Anyway, there wasn't much need for it to fight.
Hearing Kazuya's words, Regigigas shook its head.
Looking back on the past.
If it wasn't wandering aimlessly alone in the world.
It was being chased and beaten by other Pokémon. What was there to reminisce about?
Furthermore.
There were all kinds of beautiful dreams.
If it was lucky, maybe it would have a good dream when it fell asleep, dreaming of happy things.
"You..."
Kazuya sighed, intending to reprimand it a bit.
Right at this moment.
Rumble, rumble—!!
The earth trembled, and massive waves rose on the distant sea.
This sudden change interrupted Kazuya's words, making him look towards the sea in bewilderment.
What now?
Kazuya couldn't help but frown.
Why were there so many things happening in this ancient era?
Were they not going to rest until they shattered the continent beneath their feet?
Compared to Kazuya's impatience.
Regigigas appeared much calmer.
It just turned its head to take a look, then withdrew its gaze.
Having lived since the chaotic era, it had seen far too many natural disasters.
It had seen ones dozens of times more terrifying than this.
To it.
This kind of natural disaster wasn't even as scary as being chased and beaten by a group of Pokémon.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?!"
Kazuya widened his eyes, his tone changing.
On the distant horizon, a heart-palpitating scene appeared.
The world was torn apart.
One half was illuminated by a scorching sun, shining brilliantly.
The other half was covered in dark clouds, with howling winds and torrential rain.
Day and night faced each other.
The world was split in two.
One was called Desolate Land, the other was called Primordial Sea.
"Those two are fighting again."
Kazuya raised his hand and rubbed his nose, his eyes returning to calmness.
Once he knew what had happened.
There was nothing to be surprised about.
Moreover.
Kazuya was no longer afraid of those two now.
What annoyed him a little was...
Why were these two idiots fighting so frequently?
Kazuya remembered their last battle was just a few years ago.
How long had they slept?
And they were fighting again?
Watching that piece of sky gradually approaching.
Kazuya stood up from the ground.
He turned his head to the little iron man beside him and said:
"There are two big guys fighting over there. Let's go mediate and stop them."
Compared to sitting and waiting for death last time.
Kazuya planned to take the initiative this time.
Before, his strength was insufficient.
Now it was different.
He didn't know if Rayquaza would intervene this time.
Anyway, with the previous experience, he wasn't going to place his hopes on Rayquaza.
He and Regigigas.
Were fully capable of stopping this battle.
If Regigigas had accepted Kazuya's training properly over these years, it might have been able to end this battle easily.
But now.
Kazuya needed to serve as the main force in this battle.
Regigigas could at most help him stall one of them, giving him the space to fight one-on-one and solve them individually.
Unfortunately, the Tyrantrum couldn't fight in the sea, and his brother and Mega Garchomp weren't in the grassland.
Otherwise, with their combat power, they would be enough to participate in this battle and support Kazuya.
"Let's go."
Kazuya reached out, grabbed Regigigas, and flew towards the distant sea.
They had to take the initiative to go over.
Wait until those two guys got closer to attack.
The aftermath of the battle between those four gods would be enough to disintegrate this grassland.
That was absolutely unacceptable.
So if they were going to intervene, they had to do it now, and they had to take the initiative to go over and fix the battlefield in the distant ocean.
"Regi..."
Regigigas's eyes flickered.
It wasn't feeling guilty.
It simply didn't want to fight.
But it also wanted to help Kazuya.
So it was currently in a stage of complex internal feelings.
Kazuya didn't have time to worry about its feelings.
Because after getting closer.
He found that there was actually a group of wild Pokémon trying to stop the battle between Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre.
Looking closely.
To be precise, it was three dragon species trying to stop their battle.
Milotic, Kingdra, Gyarados.
And their leader was a 'familiar face'.
It was exactly the Milotic Kazuya had saved back then, who had clung to him for a long time, and finally left the Dragon Clan in sadness!
Now she had actually become the leader of these three dragon species.
She was clearly imitating Kazuya's actions of unifying the land dragon species in the ocean.
"It's actually her."
Kazuya opened his mouth slightly, saying to Regigigas in his grasp, "We have another reason to stop this battle."
