Chapter 258 - Chief Battle, the Giant Pidgeot!

After Regirock and the King Rhydon collided head-on, the gigantic Rhydon experienced something it had never felt before—

Complete suppression in raw power.

Facing the divine strength of Regirock, the fifteen-meter-tall King Rhydon was blasted backward by a single punch.

Around them, the surrounding Rhydon stared in disbelief.

Their king—

The strongest member of the tribe—

Had been overwhelmed so easily.

"Regirock!"

"Use Hammer Arm!"

At Aiden's command, Regirock raised its massive stone arm.

The gigantic limb came crashing down like a mountain.

BOOM!

The attack smashed directly onto the King Rhydon's head.

The tremendous force caused the giant Pokémon to let out a painful roar before collapsing heavily to the ground.

Its enormous body struck the earth, sending dust and debris flying everywhere.

Without giving it a chance to recover, Regirock stepped forward.

"ÜN ÜN ÜN!"

Using Superpower, the Rock Titan actually lifted the fifteen-meter giant off the ground.

Then—

It slammed the King Rhydon back down.

BOOOOM!

The island shook.

At that moment, Aiden threw a Heavy Ball.

A flash of red light enveloped the fallen king.

Shake.

Shake.

Click.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations! Special Rhydon captured!"

Even the system had classified it as a special Pokémon.

Aiden's smile widened immediately.

A fifteen-meter-tall Rhydon.

In a modern city, that would practically qualify as a kaiju.

This trip to Big Pong Island had already paid for itself.

Meanwhile, the surrounding Rhydon watched their king disappear into the Poké Ball.

One by one, they retreated.

They weren't stupid.

If even their king couldn't win, continuing the fight would simply be suicide.

Of course—

With the former king gone, a new king would eventually emerge from the tribe.

But that no longer had anything to do with Aiden.

...

After capturing the King Rhydon and adding roughly thirty Giant Rhydon to the population of his System World, Aiden shifted his attention elsewhere.

Toward the towering mountains scattered across Big Pong Island.

Because another unique species lived there—

Giant Pidgeot.

Aiden released his own Pidgeot.

The moment their eyes met, Pidgeot immediately understood its Trainer's intentions.

Their bond had long since reached maximum affinity.

"Pidgeot!"

With a sharp cry, Pidgeot soared toward the mountain peaks.

Almost immediately—

A massive shadow burst from one of the cliffs.

"PIDGEOOOOT!"

A giant Pidgeot emerged.

Its wingspan exceeded fifteen meters.

Only now did Aiden truly understand the average size of the island's Pidgeot population.

His own Pidgeot was already considered unusually large.

Nearly twice the size of a normal Pidgeot.

Yet compared to these island giants—

It still seemed small.

The size difference was nearly threefold.

But size wasn't everything.

In terms of combat ability, Aiden's Pidgeot completely dominated.

As one of his earliest Pokémon, Pidgeot had long reached Master Rank.

Level 86.

Meanwhile, the giant before them was only Level 56.

The battle ended almost instantly.

Pidgeot's Wing Attack struck like a blade.

The giant Pidgeot crashed from the sky.

Aiden immediately threw a Poké Ball.

Capture successful.

Soon afterward, sensing the disturbance, three even larger Pidgeot flew down from the mountaintops.

Their wingspans approached seventeen meters.

"PIDGEOOOOT!"

Unfortunately for them—

Numbers meant little.

Pidgeot spread its wings.

A massive Hurricane formed.

The powerful winds swept through the battlefield and instantly defeated all three Giant Pidgeot.

Aiden teleported beneath them before they hit the ground.

Three Poké Balls flew.

Three more captures.

And so the process continued.

One after another.

Using the same method, Aiden successfully captured fifty Giant Pidgeot.

When his psychic scan revealed that only around one-third of the island's population had been taken, he finally stopped.

Just as he had done with the Rhydon.

Maintaining ecological balance mattered.

And now—

Only one target remained.

The true ruler of the Giant Pidgeot tribe.

The King.

Very quickly, under Pidgeot's repeated provocations, the tribe's monarch finally appeared.

The sky itself seemed to tremble.

A terrifying figure burst from the clouds.

Its arrival was every bit as imposing as the King Rhydon.

The difference was—

When Rhydon moved, the earth shook.

When this creature appeared—

The heavens seemed to wail.

"Ding!"

Looking at the enormous bird, even Aiden couldn't help feeling amazed.

Its wingspan exceeded twenty-five meters.

Five times larger than his own Pidgeot.

Nature truly was miraculous.

It could create creatures that were fundamentally the same species—

Yet vastly different.

The feeling was akin to seeing a ten-meter-tall giant standing before an ordinary human.

"Pidgeot."

"Hyper Beam!"

At Aiden's command, Pidgeot opened its beak.

A brilliant orange beam erupted forth.

BOOOOM!

The Hyper Beam exploded directly against the giant king's heavily developed chest muscles.

Yet astonishingly—

The attack failed to knock it out.

Instead, the giant Pidgeot became even more ferocious.

Its massive talons sliced through the air.

A single strike seemed capable of tearing steel apart.

"HRAAAAH!"

A gigantic Twister formed.

The storm engulfed Aiden's Pidgeot completely.

However—

Pidgeot let out a sharp cry.

Accelerating violently.

It tore through the cyclone itself.

Then instantly counterattacked.

Aerial Ace.

Slash!

The attack landed cleanly.

The King Pidgeot staggered.

But still refused to fall.

Its tremendous size granted equally tremendous durability.

It had endured two Master-level attacks in succession.

At this moment, Aiden finally understood.

Whether it was the King Giant Rhydon—

Or the King Giant Pidgeot—

If creatures like these ever reached Master Rank themselves...

They would likely become nearly invincible among opponents of the same level.

"Pidgeot."

"One final attack."

"Aerial Ace!"

White light exploded across Pidgeot's body.

Its speed exceeded the limits of sight.

The air itself seemed to tear apart as it transformed into a streak of silver light.

And shot directly toward the King Giant Pidgeot.
