The chamber's structure was peculiar.
Aside from the red patterns covering every surface, the passage gradually widened the further in it went.
Looking deeper, the path expanded, and the ceiling rose higher and higher.
For a moment, Akira couldn't even guess how vast the inner space might be.
"Ding!"
"Pokémon incubation complete!"
A thrilling chime rang out.
Akira knew the incubation bar had finally reached its end. He quickly focused his mind.
He wanted to confirm whether this Pokémon was the one he had guessed.
After clearly seeing the new Pokémon, a glimmer of understanding flashed in Akira's eyes—just as he had suspected.
The Pokémon that appeared was a pure Rock-type.
One of the three legendary titans, classified as a Secondary Legendary Pokémon—the Rock Titan, Regirock.
Regirock's entire body is composed of gray and orange rocks.
On the front of its head is an "H"-shaped pattern formed by seven orange dots.
It has two thick, rocky arms, with hands made of massive gray boulders.
Its shoulders consist of towering, spiked orange rocks, connected to its hands by several smaller rock fragments.
Its torso is a pillar-like rock with an uneven surface, featuring two orange patches on the left chest and above the right leg.
Its legs are short, and its back has three vertically aligned spikes made of orange rock.
It also has a relatively inconspicuous gray rock tail.
Regirock is a Pokémon that was once sealed away by humans. Its entire body is made of rock.
No brain or heart can be found within it, a phenomenon even modern science cannot explain.
Although parts of its body may chip off during battles, it repairs itself by replacing them with new rocks.
Research indicates that the rocks composing its body were excavated from different lands.
Stones identical to those forming its body can be found in every geological layer worldwide.
In fact, Regirock is an exceptionally unique Pokémon because it was not born naturally.
It was created.
Its creator was not a human, but another Pokémon.
That would be the legendary Titan King—Regigigas.
Due to its peculiar appearance, it has been jokingly nicknamed the "Toilet King."
Moreover, its infamous ability, [Slow Start], has been the subject of much discussion over the years, enduring as a topic of amusement.
But in truth, Regigigas is an incredibly powerful Legendary Pokémon, with legends about it echoing far and wide.
Its feats are said to rival the creation of the world.
Legend has it that Regigigas used special icebergs, rocks, magma, electrical energy, and draconic energy to create Pokémon resembling its own form.
These are Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Regieleki, and Regidrago.
The first three were part of the original trio, while the latter two were later additions.
After creating these Pokémon from various materials,
it used ropes and its own immense strength to drag entire continents, akin to tectonic plate movement.
In this way, it shaped the land of Hisui.
Such awe-inspiring power leaves one breathless.
It would not be an exaggeration to call Regigigas the god of the earth.
It trusts in human development and thus always gives its all to protect people.
At the same time, its simple nature makes it unlikely to harbor ill intentions, so it almost always appears as an ally to the protagonists.
Akira couldn't help but marvel—he had truly encountered one of the legendary three titans.
Though it couldn't compare to Regigigas, the Rock Titan was still an impressive Legendary Pokémon.
Moreover, Akira wondered: if Regirock had been born here,
then could the snowy mountains nearby give birth to the Ice Titan, Regice?
Akira thought it was quite possible.
Name: Regirock
Ability: Clear Body
Type: Rock
Strength: SS
Moves: Earthquake, Explosion, Lock-On, Zap Cannon, Ancient Power...
[Eternal Rock]: When Regirock takes damage, it actively repairs its body with rocks.
As long as rocks are present in the surroundings, it can endlessly regenerate, making it virtually unkillable.
The strength of the body is also related to the type of rock used to fill it. The more powerful the rock, the greater the inherent strength.
[Master of the Three Titans]: Once the Rock Titan, Ice Titan, and Steel Titan are gathered, the legendary Pokémon will descend.
Akira continued reading downward and discovered that Regirock also possessed its own unique ability.
[Eternal Rock], much like the legends surrounding Regirock, allowed it to replenish its body with any type of rock.
Thus, rocks from various regions could be found within its form.
Thanks to this ability, as long as it stood upon the earth, Regirock would never perish.
It had no core or heart—its entire body was composed of rocks.
As long as there were rocks to replenish its form, it was effectively an immortal Pokémon.
Counting the previously encountered Hisuian Zoroark and Cursed Coral, this was the third immortal Pokémon he had come across.
However, what truly caught Akira's attention was the description below.
[Master of the Three Titans]—by gathering all three Titans, one could obtain a Legendary Pokémon.
There was no need to guess—it was clearly referring to the Colossal Pokémon, Regigigas.
Beneath this description was something resembling a progress bar, with one-third already illuminated.
This was quite similar to the ancient jade fish—both required collecting lower-tier Legendary Pokémon to obtain a higher-tier one.
In theory, Regigigas had created five Pokémon, so one should need all five to summon it.
But in the games, encountering Regigigas only required the first three Titans.
The latter two were added much later.
Perhaps that was why he only needed to gather the Rock Titan, Ice Titan, and Steel Titan.
He already had the Rock Titan.
If the snowy mountains could give rise to the Ice Titan, then all he lacked was the Steel Titan.
Once he had them, he could obtain the terrifying Legendary Pokémon said to be capable of dragging continents and shifting tectonic plates—
Regigigas.
Lost in thought, Akira pressed onward, determined to explore the deepest reaches of this place.
After obtaining Regirock, his curiosity about what lay in the depths only grew stronger.
As for the patterns on the surrounding walls, Porygon-Z provided a rough explanation.
They seemed to serve some kind of sealing function.
Sealing?
Sealing what?
Naturally, something that must not be allowed to emerge.
Clearly, the depths likely harbored some kind of terrifying [catastrophe].
Having already obtained Regirock, he could have simply left, but he wasn't about to pass up experience points of this caliber.
Tap… tap… tap…
The passage was eerily silent—so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping would have been deafening—amplifying Akira's footsteps countless times over.
There was nothing particularly unusual around him, save for the increasingly widening tunnel and the endless crimson patterns covering the walls.
As Akira ventured deeper, he finally arrived at an incredibly vast space.
He couldn't help but gasp.
The sheer scale of this cavern made him believe the entire volcano had been hollowed out.
Such a magnificent sight—just imagining the effort required to create it was staggering.
He wondered what kind of creature could have crafted this.
Akira's gaze shifted forward, where an enormous mountain stood within the expansive space.
Yes, it was indeed a mountain.
A bizarre mountain, thousands of meters tall, imposing and grand.
At first glance, it appeared ordinary, but its surface was entwined with countless black, viscous substances.
Moreover, it was bound by innumerable chains, coiled around it in layers.
These chains bore the same patterns as the walls, but their crimson hue was far deeper—
as if they were dripping with blood.All these phenomena indicated that this mountain was extraordinary—precisely what he had been searching for.
[Mount Malevolence]: Originally an entire mountain, it was tainted one day by the aura of a forbidden entity.
Over time, it gradually developed self-awareness, transforming into a mountain-range-scale [Calamity].
With every movement, it wielded terrifying destructive power, capable of effortlessly obliterating vast regions.
Eventually, a certain species expended immense effort and sacrifice to seal it within this volcano.
As time passed, the seal's power gradually weakened, and the day when [Mount Malevolence] would break free drew nearer with each passing moment.
Akira frowned.
Indeed, the terrifying [Calamity] that needed sealing was the mountain itself.
He had initially assumed there might be something sinister lurking inside the mountain, never imagining that the mountain itself was the problem.
Moreover, according to the Pokédex's information, [Mount Malevolence] was still alive and would eventually break free from its seal.
Given this, it made perfect sense that Regirock could be born here.
After all, Regirock was itself a sealed Pokémon, classified as the [Rock Peak Pokémon].
Akira raised his head, narrowing his eyes as he gazed at [Mount Malevolence], murmuring to himself:
"In that case..."
"I'll settle this in one go."
The next moment, a flash of white light erupted beside Akira, and a purple figure materialized at his side.
It was a bipedal, insectoid robotic Pokémon with a metallic shell and a disc-shaped head.
Its entire body was purple, with two red eyes and tooth-like structures beneath them.
Its arms were slender, ending in sharp claws.
Gray circular patterns adorned its shoulders, and gray stripes ran along its abdomen.
Its form resembled that of a giant insect, encased in purple armor, with an enormous cannon of devastating power mounted on its back.
Genesect leaned forward slightly, aiming its cannon at [Mount Malevolence].
If this shot killed [Mount Malevolence] outright, then it would serve as a bonus for Genesect.
If [Mount Malevolence] survived, then it would at least provide some entertainment.
He might as well release this [Calamity] and crush it in one fell swoop!
After enduring a prolonged seal, [Mount Malevolence] still possessed SS-tier strength—but compared to a normal SS-tier, it was significantly weaker, barely stronger than an SS-minus.
Dealing with it would be easy.
Beep beep—
Genesect's mechanical eyes flickered with light.
A beam of pure white energy surged from the triangular barrel of its cannon.
At first, it was a slender ray, but the moment it left the barrel, it expanded into a massive pillar of light!
Normal-type move—Techno Blast!
The blindingly radiant blast resembled a ferocious white dragon, roaring as it hurtled toward [Mount Malevolence].
Wherever it passed, the aftermath resembled the devastation of a nuclear explosion—its sheer destructive power was horrifying!
The air was instantly compressed, violently splitting to either side, stirring a hurricane within the vast space.
Amid the deafening roar, the Techno Blast struck [Mount Malevolence].
Most of its energy was absorbed by the chains—the very restraints meant to imprison [Mount Malevolence] now served as its shield.
Bang! Bang!...
One by one, the chains snapped, the red glow on them vanishing the instant they broke.
The remaining force landed on the [Evil Mountain], instantly melting a section of rock with its extreme heat.
The originally gray-black rocks abruptly transformed into molten red earth, emitting an eerie charcoal scent.
However, compared to the massive bulk of the [Evil Mountain], this melted portion was insignificant.
Seeing this, Akira's lips curled slightly—the real show was about to begin.
Bang!
With the last chain snapping, not a single restraint remained on the [Evil Mountain].
After a few moments of silence, a sinister and malevolent aura saturated the entire space.
Deafening rumbles echoed endlessly.
The [Evil Mountain] began to quake violently—even the slightest movement of its colossal form could create massive tremors.
Countless shattered rocks tumbled from its body, piling up on the ground below.
High above, a pair of crimson eyes silently emerged, scanning the surroundings before locking onto Akira in the distance.
The [Evil Mountain] glanced at its melted wound, its scarlet eyes burning with boundless fury.
Sealed away for countless years, only one thought now consumed its mind—
Destruction.
Everything in sight was to be annihilated.
Then, the rocks on its body twisted unnaturally, forming a massive stone pillar.
Like a human arm, it lunged straight for Akira, as if intending to crush him in a single blow.
For anyone else, facing such overwhelming force would mean being pulverized into paste.
But unfortunately for the [Evil Mountain], the one who had broken its seal was none other than Akira.
"Let me witness it," he murmured.
"The legendary power of the Rock Titan!"
In the next instant, an immense and towering figure stood before Akira, majestic as a mountain range.
An oppressive, terrifying aura thickened the air, making it hard to breathe.
The H-shaped patterns on its body pulsed rhythmically, as though transmitting signals, while an overwhelming surge of Aura coiled around it.
The Rock Titan—Regirock.
