Chapter 1011: The Electric Titan and the Insulated Poké Ball
2024-05-15 Author: Samsung Charmander
Wattson looked around at the surrounding city. Not only were the lights shining brightly and various facilities operating in an orderly fashion, but there was even a train passing by on the tracks that spanned the sky above the city.
"Incredible, incredible!"
He exclaimed repeatedly, his face flushed and his breathing rapid.
Keep in mind, this city hadn't been operational for at least a hundred years, yet it could still run so smoothly now?!
"So the answer is this Electric Titan?"
Wattson's gaze turned back to Regieleki, and in his mind, all the clues began to connect.
Regieleki, which contained immense electric energy, was used by the ancients as a switch for the city and was sealed here. The key to activating the city was to fully connect Regieleki's power.
"Bip-bip~!!"
Compared to the city, Ash's trio was clearly more curious about this Electric Titan.
"The three Legendary Titans..."
Ash suddenly recalled the time in Granite Cave in Dewford Town. The former League Champion, Steven Stone, had apparently gone there to resolve an incident involving the three Legendary Titans.
To think that he would encounter a fourth titan here?
"Pika?"
Also being an Electric-type, Pikachu ran a few circles around Regieleki, greeting it.
"Bip-bip~!"
Regieleki just hopped about, emitting an incomprehensible, telegraph-like sound.
Although its main torso was made of thick crystal, its limbs were pure, energy-like electric currents. This made its entire being as agile as an energy current itself.
*Thud.*
Seeing this, Pikachu didn't hesitate and jumped directly onto Regieleki's head.
The latter's head wasn't perfectly flat; it was more like Togepi's, with several horns sticking out, which happened to allow Pikachu to get a firm grip and stand steady.
*Tap~ Tap~!*
Sensing the familiar electric current, the latter seemed quite delighted, hopping repeatedly in front of everyone.
"Pika-pika...!"
Seeing the Electric Titan being so receptive, Pikachu gave it a satisfied pat.
If Meowth were here, he would probably be able to translate the big-brotherly tone Pikachu was using.
"Pika~ (Since you're also an Electric-type, from now on, I, Pikachu, will recognize you as my number-two in electricity... Hmm, I'll call you Pillar Two from now on~)"
Ash and the others didn't understand but were impressed, simply thinking that the Electric-type Pokémon were just playing.
Still, the lightning bursting from its sides looked incredibly powerful...
"Wooo~"
Seeing this, the nearby Magneton wanted to get closer and play too.
"BIP-BIP!!"
However, Regieleki's expression changed in an instant. The lightning-like energy arms bursting from its sides grew larger, and it swatted the Magneton away like a fly, making no effort to hide its disdain.
*With an electric current that weak, don't even think about getting close to me!*
Don't be fooled by the fact that Regieleki had lived for ages. Having been sealed for so long, its crystal head had ultimately reset its memories. At this moment, it was like a newborn infant.
Its nature, too, was as straightforward as a young child's.
*Zzzzt...!!*
It was just that the lightning bursting from its limbs indicated that this was an unusually fierce infant—the kind that could crush a Tauros with its bare hands.
"Pika~!"
Only then did Pikachu give its head a satisfied pat, a stream of equally impressive electric current sparking from its own cheeks, as if to say, "Your big bro is still on top of you, don't get too arrogant."
"Heh heh..."
Watching his Magneton float dejectedly to the side, Wattson could only give a dry laugh.
It seems this Electric Titan likes to be near powerful, high-quality electric energy.
Having worked in the electric field for many years, Wattson always felt that Ash's electric mouse Pokémon wasn't just simply powerful.
He had seen plenty of Pokémon with immense power. He'd even seen the Raikou from the Johto Region. It was for that very reason that he invented his Machine Raikou.
But the quality of Pikachu's electric attacks was also absurdly high, as if... it had been compressed?
That was the only adjective Wattson could think of.
Of course, he had never heard of the concept of a "First Reincarnation Pikachu."
Setting aside its power, the quality of its electricity after the First Reincarnation was no longer something normal lightning could even compare to—not even Raikou's.
Now, the gym challenge was over, and the entire fantastical city had been fully activated. The group quickly returned to the Mauville Gym above.
After all, although the city was activated, it couldn't be put into use immediately. Even just cleaning up all the dust would take a considerable amount of time.
But in any case, Wattson was going to be busy.
"So, about this Regieleki..."
Wattson's gaze fell upon the Electric Titan hopping back and forth on the gym floor.
Although the city's power generation no longer required its help—the Electric Titan was merely a switch—but since it was a Pokémon born in New Mauville, it seemed better for it to stay...
Besides, it was an Electric-type Pokémon. Wattson's professional interest was piqued; he could sense the astonishing electric energy contained within this Electric Titan.
"Bip-bip~!!"
But watching the Electric Titan hop back and forth around Pikachu and Ash, it seemed its affection had already increased a great deal.
"Pika~!"
Pikachu would even toss out an Electro Ball from time to time, and the Electric Titan would immediately leap up to catch it like a cat that had smelled fish, completely absorbing it.
For some reason, this scene reminded Wattson of the game of catch-the-frisbee he often played with his Manectric.
"Ah, forget it."
Seeing this, Wattson could only sigh helplessly.
Who could he blame? The quality of his own Pokémon's electricity simply couldn't compare to Ash's Pikachu.
The three Legendary Titans... no, the five Legendary Titans now, were all sealed away by the ancients.
The current consensus among most scholars is that they were sealed because they contained uncontrollable power, in order to prevent unstoppable disasters.
If he were to forcibly keep it here, who knows what this Electric Titan would do.
That was true. He already had a whole fantastical city. To catch another Electric Titan seemed a bit too greedy.
Thinking this, Wattson became quite magnanimous and tossed something to Ash.
Ash: "?"
Catching it, Ash took a closer look and saw that it was a Poké Ball etched with countless lightning bolt marks.
"Ash, this Electric Titan was sealed by the ancients for so many years. Why don't you take it out and let it see the outside world."
Wattson said slowly.
In a way, it's like a child of New Mauville.
Then he added:
"This Electric Titan's internal power is immense, and it seems it can't quite master this strength yet. An ordinary Poké Ball might leak electricity. This Insulated Poké Ball I invented can firmly lock the power inside, so not even a bit of the Electric Titan's energy will be wasted."
Hearing this, Ash was stunned for a moment and didn't react for a long time.
Although this Electric Titan's mind had been formatted, it was clearly a Legendary Pokémon with infinite potential.
He never expected to run into such good fortune just by coming for a gym challenge.
"In that case, I'll take it with me!"
Ash didn't politely refuse, agreeing on the spot with an excited expression.
Speaking of which, was he finally going to have a second Electric-type Pokémon?!
