After using Teleport to arrive at the deepest part of the ruins with Shelly, Aiden saw a dusty Poké Ball resting atop an ancient throne.
This Poké Ball looked almost identical to the one that had once sealed Regirock.
It made him wonder—
How had ancient humans possessed such advanced technology, capable of sealing Legendary Pokémon?
And more importantly…
Who had been powerful enough to seal them in the first place?
Just as Aiden was deep in thought, the Poké Ball on the throne suddenly reacted, as if sensing the intrusion.
A flash of white light burst forth—
The Poké Ball opened.
A massive gray-white figure, gleaming with metallic luster, emerged.
"Ding! Registeel's current attributes are as follows:"
Pokémon: Registeel
Title: Steel Titan

Type: Steel

Looking at the stats, Aiden took out a Heavy Ball.
In the next moment, a flash of red light appeared—
Regirock emerged!
Standing at nearly the same height as Registeel.
Upon seeing Registeel, the "H"-shaped pattern on Regirock's face began to glow.
At the same time, Registeel responded in kind.
After a brief exchange between the two Titans, Registeel stepped forward—
Its massive body shrinking as it approached.
"Regi…"
Hearing its voice, Aiden activated his psychic power to understand.
So Regirock and Registeel had known each other since ancient times.
They were creations of Regigigas, the legendary being known as the master of the Titans.
Originally, they had all served as guardians of the Tree of Beginning.
Because of that, after learning that Regirock had chosen to follow Aiden, Registeel—now without a clear purpose—became interested in him as well.
This made things much easier.
For groups like the Legendary Titans or the Lake Guardians, once one was captured, the others could often be approached more smoothly.
Sometimes, the first one even acted as a mediator.
Of course, this only worked for certain Legendary groups.
Others… tended to fight each other on sight.
"Then let's battle. If you lose—you'll become my Pokémon."
Hearing this, Registeel nodded its massive head.
Originally, it had expected Aiden to send out Regirock.
After all, it could sense that Regirock had grown significantly stronger since their last meeting.
But Aiden had other plans.
His Pokémon—especially his Legendary ones—had all grown stronger under his command.
Whether it was Latios, Latias, the Lake Guardians, or Regirock—
They were far more powerful than when he had first met them.
"So… I'll leave this to you—Rayquaza!"
With a toss of a Master Ball, a massive emerald dragon descended into the ruins.
Rayquaza.
The moment Registeel saw it—
It froze.
Clearly, it hadn't expected such an overwhelmingly powerful Legendary Pokémon to appear.
Glancing at Regirock, it finally understood why its old companion had chosen to follow Aiden.
Even so—
Registeel still chose to fight.
It immediately used Lock-On!
In response, Rayquaza roared, opening its jaws and unleashing a scorching Dragon Breath!
The attack struck Registeel directly—
And for the first time, the Steel Titan felt pain.
"Regi…!"
Enduring the impact, Registeel fired back with a Zap Cannon!
But Rayquaza swung its tail—
Dragon Tail!
The Zap Cannon was knocked back instantly, striking Registeel itself.
The force didn't stop there—
The tail slammed into Registeel's body, sending it flying!
Boom!
Its massive form crashed into the wall of the ruins.
Due to its immense weight and the sheer impact, the entire structure began to collapse.
Seeing this, Aiden immediately threw a Heavy Ball.
A flash of red light—
Shake…
Shake…
Click!
A crisp sound rang out.
Registeel was captured.
Before the ruins could fully collapse, Aiden used Teleport again, taking Shelly with him and escaping instantly.
Outside, the Sky Team members had already retreated after hearing the ominous sounds from within the ruins.
By the time the structure collapsed completely, they realized—
Their Boss and commander were already back at the temporary base.
"Well done. All participating members will receive one year's bonus."
"You may also each select one Pokémon from the organization's rewards."
The moment Aiden issued the command, the entire team erupted in cheers.
"Long live the Boss!"
Having captured another Legendary Pokémon, and with his wealth practically limitless, Aiden didn't hesitate to reward his subordinates generously.
Only in this way could he ensure their absolute loyalty.
In fact, the待遇 of Sky Team elites far exceeded those of the Pokémon League—one of the main reasons for the organization's rapid growth.
Afterward, Aiden turned to Shelly.
"You did well this time. Go ahead—what reward do you want?"
Hearing this, Shelly's cheeks flushed slightly.
A playful smile appeared on her lips as she leaned closer and whispered softly into his ear—
"Boss… the reward I want… is you."
