Chapter 767: Colossal Pokémon: Shout My Name Loudly!
Chapter 767: Colossal Pokémon: Shout My Name Loudly!
“Hoopa, can you pull out the Colossal Pokémon from our world? I’m not familiar with anything else.” Lu Ye said.
“Hmm... Hoopa will try.”
Hoopa opened a portal and reached in with a small hand.
Snowpoint City, Snowpoint Temple.
In the open-air Snowpoint Temple, a ring of towering stone pillars had been built, shrouded by a Light Screen, with a stone pedestal placed at the center.
In the groove of the pedestal lay an unadorned sealed stone sphere, sleeping quietly.
Suddenly, a teleportation portal opened beside the stone sphere, and a little hand reached out to touch the sealed stone sphere.
The archaic stone sphere glowed faintly, like glass, emitting a clear, translucent radiance...
“It seems like it’s still asleep.” Hoopa withdrew its small hand.
“Then just bring the stone sphere over later.” Lu Ye said, “No need to summon it in place first.”Every time Dagu transformed, a warplane would crash.
Every time Teacher Lu summoned the Colossal Pokémon, a temple would crack.
This time, let it be...
After all, Teacher Lu was not a monster;
he still felt sympathy for Brandon.
At the horizon’s end.
The struggle between the Shiny Colossal Pokémon and Super Demon Hoopa rocked the earth with thunderous booms.
The sunset had fully sunk below the horizon, the sky darkened, and Hoopa completely held the advantage.
“We need to make the Punishment Jar as quickly as possible...”
Lu Ye glanced at the center of the Desert Tower, where an hourglass-shaped vessel connected the elemental sources of fire, water, and earth.
Recalling the knowledge Goris had taught him,
Lu Ye closed his eyes and stretched out both palms.
A pale-golden halo bloomed in his hands, linking energies as he continuously constructed the shape of the Punishment Jar.
Lu Ye gave a small, surprised sound.
The crafting was going surprisingly smoothly.
My Power of Transcendence was personally granted by Arceus, so it’s probably connected to this.
Lu Ye banished distractions and focused entirely, teeth clenched tightly:
“Hold on a little longer, Goris...”
Beneath the dim sky.
Goris stood alone, slowly climbing the slope outside the town.
“Hoopa, please calm down.”
With a gentle gaze, he stared at the towering demon, both palms glowing pale-golden.
The Power of Transcendence has the ability to soothe negative emotions.
Super Demon Hoopa stared blankly at Goris, the red light in its eyes gradually receding.
However, the Shiny Colossal Pokémon swung its arm hammer and brutally smashed it into Super Demon Hoopa’s face!
Boom!!
Goris coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Super Demon Hoopa’s eyes turned feral;
it waved a hand to open a teleportation portal and roared:
“Hoopa, pull! Pull!!”
Portals formed above the Colossal Pokémon’s head, spewing searing lava. The boiling magma surged downwards.
Sss—
White steam billowed.
The Shiny Colossal Pokémon was enveloped by a twisted shockwave, its signal light flashing red, and with a thud it dropped to one knee.
Goris swallowed hard.
If Hoopa wanted to, it could even defeat the vast majority of gods!
This is the unleashed wrath, Super Demon Hoopa!
From the Desert Tower, a meteor-like beam of white light shot forth into the night, and Latias trailed a comet-like path.
As Latias flew past Goris,
Lu Ye’s expression grew grave as he handed the newly made Punishment Jar to Goris.
“This is...” Goris widened his eyes.
In such a short time, he really managed to make the Punishment Jar!
“Leave the sealing to you.”
“And you?” Goris asked in a trembling voice.
In the darkness, Lu Ye’s eyes shone brightly as he said in a steady voice:
“Leave the fighting to me.”
“Hoopa—”
Lu Ye reached out.
Hoopa grinned and opened a portal, “Hoopa, pull! Pull!!”
“Here... for you.”
Hoopa handed the plain, archaic stone sphere to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye held the sealing stone sphere and took a deep breath.
Aura’s blue light became a gust of energy that brushed past, his black hair fluttering, and he enunciated each word:
“Regigigas, return from darkness to the light!”
The sealed stone sphere burst into dazzling radiance, turning the desert into daytime.
Among the ruined town, injured villagers raised hopeless eyes to the outside.
A brass-metal giant hundreds of feet tall, massive in scale with vegetation covering its head and feet, planted its feet with a thud, shaking the entire desert!
“Ree-gi—gigas!!”
Teacher Lu’s favorite and most reliable summoned beast—the Colossal Pokémon!
Goris’s pupils contracted to pinpoints.
This... how is that possible?
Another Colossal Pokémon!!
Super Demon Hoopa cast a glance that flickered with caution, then sneered:
“Hoopa will not lose!”
The slow-moving metal pillar is simply too slow!
Lu Ye reached out;
a Poké Ball formed in his palm, red light flashing, and Sylveon stood beside him.
“Bu-bii!”
Sylveon’s ribbons lifted the gleaming Fairy Plate aloft, which shone with blinding brilliance.
“Sylveon—”
Lu Ye said sharply, “Skill Swap!!”
“Bu-bii!”
Sylveon’s azure eyes fixed on the sluggish Regigigas. From the Fairy Plate a crystalline beam shot out and struck the Colossal Pokémon.
“Bu-bii~”
Sylveon lazily yawned as Lu Ye held it in his arms, closing its eyes with a proud, spoiled air.
Hmm... though I didn’t make the move, it doesn’t feel bad...
In an instant,
Regigigas surged with roaring presence, its metallic shell flickering with a crystalline fairy sheen, and it slammed its iron fist closed with a bang!
Colossal Pokémon, activate!!
The Shiny Colossal Pokémon looked on in bewilderment.
This elder... his combat experience seems even richer than mine!
Or rather, under that human’s command, it has become stronger!
“Tsk...” Super Demon Hoopa clicked its tongue in apprehension.
Such a troublesome Fairy attribute...
“Hoopa, pull! Pull!!”
With a flick of its hand, a golden disc flowed with Other Dimension vibrations and flew toward the Colossal Pokémon.
“Regigigas—”
Lu Ye roared, “Crush Grip!!!”
The glowing disc rushed forward, and the Colossal Pokémon’s two massive palms slammed together with a thud, firmly restraining the raging disc.
Immediately, the Colossal Pokémon’s signal lights flashed rapidly as its giant hands closed.
Clack!
Super Demon Hoopa’s face twisted in horror.
A fully activated Colossal Pokémon can even crush my Other Dimension disc!?
The disc scattered across the sand.
Yet it bathed in white light, gradually reformed and flew back to Super Demon Hoopa.
Portals opened around Hoopa, and it raged:
“Hoopa—pull! Pull!!”
Teleportation portals from all directions swelled with terrifying divine beast energy.
Hoopa was desperately balancing the strength of those beasts, leaving its defenses lax.
Lu Ye shot a glance at Goris.
Goris nodded vigorously, stepped forward on the cliff, and raised the Punishment Jar, declaring:
“Transcendence, obey the law of time and space!”
A powerful gravity tore at Super Demon Hoopa’s form.
Hoopa suddenly shuddered, its face filled with terror.
“No!! This isn’t even the strongest—Hoopa can become even stronger!!”
Even as Hoopa screamed and strained, it transformed into an overwhelming evil shadow and shot back into the Punishment Jar.
Goris gripped the jar mouth tightly, his own Power of Transcendence battling the evil shadow until he finally exhaled.
He set the Punishment Jar down with trembling hands and looked up with awe.
That Aura Hero stood on the cliff in the night, one hand in his pocket, coat tails fluttering, a massive Colossal Pokémon looming behind him.
The black-haired youth fell into thought without a word.
Goris held his breath, not daring to disturb him, and looked back toward the town.
In the pitch-black desert, a few torches flickered to life, then more lights followed, torches swung back and forth.
From the town came muffled shouts, cries, and cheers.
“You...”
Goris turned, voice trembling, “Are you all right?”
A person who can command the Colossal Pokémon with Aura—such a thing had never been heard of;
it completely overturned Goris’s worldview!
“I’m fine...”
Lu Ye inhaled deeply and calmed his racing heart.
The normal reaction of a commanded beast... I felt this before when fighting Primal Groudon.
Fortunately, the crisis was resolved and Super Demon Hoopa was sealed back in the Punishment Jar.
But what Hoopa meant by becoming stronger... what does that really mean...
Teacher Lu felt an inexplicable unease and worried about modern Barren City, planning to return immediately.
He exhaled and looked at the metallic giant on the cliff with warmth:
“Thank you, Regigigas.”
“Regig...” Regigigas rumbled, glancing at the blue Regigigas.
Ten thousand years ago, Regigigas stood alone, shaping colossi into companions that resembled itself.
But in different worlds, different versions of itself exist... this made the Colossal Pokémon feel both relieved and wistful.
Relieved that companions could understand it, but regretful that it was not unique, yet still one of a kind.
The blue Colossal Pokémon shared the same feelings.
It slowly extended a giant hand and clasped the brass Colossal Pokémon’s hand.
Immediately, the two Colossal Pokémon locked in a mutual grip;
their giant hands trembled like an arm-wrestling match.
Lu Ye smiled helplessly, “Hoopa, please send both Colossal Pokémon back;
thanks for your help~”
“Hehe, leave it to Hoopa!”
Hoopa removed the disc and tossed it into the air;
an expanding portal enveloped the two.
The silhouettes of the ancient giants gradually vanished, and the dark desert was left only with battle scars.
Goris watched with reverent eyes, standing behind Lu Ye, his heart stirred.
Today’s events touched on too much;
it must be concealed...
But the name of the Aura Hero—worthy of being sung about...
“Crap!”
Lu Ye glanced at his hand, face paling slightly: “I forgot to return the stone sphere!”
Snowpoint City, Snowpoint Temple.
Above the open-air temple, a huge portal opened and a Regigigas more than six meters tall descended from the sky!
Clack!
It crushed the external Light Screen of the temple, and the violent tremors caused the stone pillars to fracture.
In the empty temple center, only a single stone pedestal remained.
The Colossal Pokémon slowly sat down on the pedestal, hands on its knees, gradually turning into a statue.
After a while, the teleportation portal opened again.
Hoopa reached out a small hand and placed a stone sphere on Regigigas’s head.
With a boom, Regigigas turned into red light and flew back into the stone sphere, which landed perfectly in the pedestal’s groove and fit snugly.
A breeze blew through;
silence reigned, broken only by ruined walls and fragments of Light Screen.
At the snowfield’s edge, a stern man in an olive-green archaeological uniform walked slowly toward the temple.
This was my thirtieth day inspecting the temple;
I found no suspicious people, so there is nothing to worry about...
Brandon looked up blankly at the empty sky, then at the ruins scattered about.
He slowly approached the pedestal;
the sealing stone sphere lay intact in the groove, utterly still.
Brandon looked up again, his eyes wet.
What a crime!
