Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Women Only Slow Down My Pokémon-Catching Speed

”I’ve never even heard those names before.”

”So there are giants like that too?”

Korinna felt that she’d learned something new yet again.

Following her master on this journey had truly been the right decision.

”I remember now.”

Calyrex spoke.

”They were the guardians bestowed upon this land by the King of Giants.”

”Together, they shaped Galar’s mountains and earth.”

”Once their mission was complete... they chose to slumber here.”

The King of Giants naturally referred to Regigigas, the progenitor of the Legendary Titans.

However, judging from their portrayals in both the games and anime...

Neither the five Regis nor Regigigas himself had ever truly displayed the overwhelming power their legends described.

They seemed somewhat unworthy of their grand reputations.

”Actually...”

”I’ve always had one question.”

Sora asked,

”The legends say Regigigas once dragged entire continents across the ocean with ropes, placing them where they are today.”

”Is that really true?”

”It is.”

As the King of Bountiful Harvests who had lived for countless ages...

Calyrex had personally witnessed that era.

”The King of Giants stood upon the sea...”

”Pulling continents and islands alike...”

”Reshaping the very world.”

”Then...”

”You wish to know why they are now so small?”

Seeing Sora nod...

Calyrex continued.

”Once the giants fulfilled their purpose...”

”Retaining bodies of that scale would have become an unbearable burden upon the world.”

Thus...

Their power returned to nature.

Their bodies shrank into the forms they possessed today.

”Can they return to that size?”

”If supplied with sufficient energy...”

”They can.”

Calyrex explained further.

As for Regieleki and Regidrago...

Even He knew little.

Those two had been born only after the continents had already settled into place.

The original trio—

Regirock.

Regice.

Registeel.

Were different.

Each could absorb its corresponding element—

Stone.

Ice.

Steel.

Given enough material and enough energy...

They could once again assume their colossal forms that towered into the heavens.

This wasn’t Dynamax.

Nor Gigantamax.

They truly became larger.

”Their bodies...”

”Were originally composed of those very materials.”

”With enough matter...”

”Their size naturally grows.”

That said...

According to Calyrex...

The Legendary Titans had long since exhausted most of their power while shaping the world.

The Regis remaining today...

Were little more than fragments of the original giants’ cores.

”And...”

”There were far more than merely these few.”

”When the King of Giants created the world...”

”He fashioned many assistants.”

That explained why legends of giants existed across countless regions.

There hadn’t been only one Regirock...

Or one Registeel...

Or one Regice.

They had once possessed entire races.

Their numbers had exceeded one hundred.

The reason they seemed so rare today...

Was because nearly all of them remained asleep...

Deep underground.

Buried within mountains.

Hidden in places untouched by human civilization.

”So then...”

”What level would someone need to reach that state?”

”At the very least...”

”Beyond Level 90.”

Having fully understood Sora’s ranking system...

Calyrex gave a precise answer.

The Legendary Titans possessed respectable potential.

But they couldn’t compare to Mythical Pokémon...

Nor gifted beings like Ogerpon.

”I thought they’d need to be Level 99.”

”Not quite.”

From Calyrex’s perspective...

Even if a giant became a thousand meters tall...

So what?

Ultimately...

It was merely a tiny core manipulating an enormous quantity of rock or metal into that shape.

Had Calyrex wished to...

His peak self could have destroyed them effortlessly.

His psychic powers had once blanketed a radius of fifty kilometers.

Shattering the body of a giant...

Would hardly have posed any difficulty.

Among Pokémon...

Larger size didn’t automatically equate to greater strength.

Otherwise...

The Ancient Pokémon of prehistoric times would never have vanished.

”Sora.”

”Do you wish to capture them?”

”I do.”

He looked toward Calyrex.

”Would that be alright?”

”Would removing them affect the shrine?”

”It will not.”

Seemingly recalling something...

Calyrex showed no concern about Sora taking away the sleeping giants.

”If necessary...”

”I shall fight beside you.”

”Then I’d appreciate your help.”

Sora didn’t refuse.

He knew Calyrex still needed time to integrate into the team.

And nothing brought companions together faster...

Than fighting side by side.

”My plan...”

”Is to bring the five giants back to the Nebel Plateau.”

”They’ll serve as guardians of my preserve.”

That was the role Sora envisioned for them.

The only problem...

Was raising them.

Five Legendary Pokémon at once...

Was an enormous burden.

There was simply no way Sora could properly train all of them.

Reaching Level 90 wasn’t some trivial milestone.

Even now...

He still hadn’t personally raised a single Legendary Pokémon beyond that point.

The Legendary Titans possessed decent potential.

But compared to his current lineup...

They wouldn’t contribute much in immediate combat.

If he invested enough resources to raise a Titan beyond Level 90...

Then Ogerpon or Volcanion...

Might already have discovered the opportunity to break through Level 95 instead.

Not to mention...

He now had Calyrex—

An absolutely top-tier powerhouse.

Forget it.

I’ll deal with that when the time comes.

Sora decided to meet the giants first.

Only afterward would he determine what to do.

If they retained intelligence and could communicate...

He would respect their wishes.

If not...

He’d simply beat them into submission.

Then bring them home.

After all...

If they had no master...

And no consciousness...

What difference did it make where they slept?

Wouldn’t Sora’s preserve be a far better place?

He certainly wouldn’t mistreat them.

Besides...

They could contribute by protecting the preserve.

Everyone wins.

”When do you intend to go?”

”Tomorrow.”

Tomorrow...

They would head into the mountains.

Find the ancient shrine.

Challenge the Legendary Titans.

Once everything was settled...

Sora planned to contact Cynthia.

He would invite her to Freezington...

To study the region’s ancient myths...

And personally meet Calyrex and the Legendary Titans.

Compared to capturing Legendary Pokémon...

Cynthia cared far more about uncovering the truth behind the legends.

That was precisely why Sora intended to invite her after the battles.

This way...

There would be no awkwardness over who deserved to capture the giants.

Of course...

If, someday in the future...

His relationship with Cynthia deepened...

And he found himself without enough time to train every Pokémon personally...

Then perhaps...

One of the Legendary Titans he hadn’t yet formed a strong bond with...

Could be entrusted to Cynthia’s care.

As Champion...

She was certainly more than capable of raising one.

Though...

Thinking that far ahead is probably a bit premature.

Sora dismissed the thought.

Together with everyone else...

He finished cleaning up the kitchen.

Then...

He switched on the television.

Allowing Calyrex and the others...

To begin learning about the modern world.
