There are differences even among Tier One Legendary Pokémon—
And not just minor differences.
We're talking foundational disparities.
Take Latias and Regigigas, for example—
They can't even be fairly compared.
According to legend, Regigigas possesses the power to move continents.
And the Regigigas standing before Ash now was casually firing off Hyper Beams—
It hadn't even fully activated yet!
Its ability, Slow Start, was still in effect.
Ash had done extensive research on this Slow Start trait.
And what he discovered…
Was that it wasn't exactly like what the games suggested.
From all the data and his real-time observation, Ash realized:
Slow Start wasn't just a reduction in stats—
It meant Regigigas was still in a dull, sluggish state.
At first, its Attack and Speed were halved.
But even after that limit wore off, its movements still weren't truly rapid.
But when it went all out—
Its enemies had every reason to be afraid.
In its rampaging state, Regigigas was unstoppable!
Hunter J had already made her retreat the moment Ash arrived.
Ash didn't bother chasing her—
He already planned to settle everything with both J and Cyrus later at Mt. Coronet.
Right now, his priority was Regigigas.
Brandon had already summoned his three golems—Regice, Regirock, and Registeel—
To jointly suppress the giant titan.
Right now, Regigigas was still in its "sluggish" phase.
Using his battle-hardened experience and the combined defenses of the three Regis,
Brandon was barely managing to keep it under control.
"Good. Registeel, Regice—lock down its arms!
If we want to stop this furious Regigigas, capturing it may be the only way!
Regirock—Hammer Arm, now!"
"Re-gi-ROCK!"
With Regice and Registeel pinning Regigigas' arms,
Regirock landed three straight hits with its Hammer Arm!
Brandon pulled out a Ultra Ball.
"I don't know if this will work,
But it's our best shot right now—GO!"
In this urgent situation, Brandon hadn't brought anything better than Ultra balls.
He had no choice but to try.
The Poké Ball hit Regigigas—flashing red—
But the titan slammed its massive foot into the ground!
The flash snapped—
It broke free instantly!
It hadn't even been absorbed into the ball!
For Regigigas…
Even a High-grade Poké Ball was worthless.
"No good. If even this can't contain it,
I doubt anything better would work either…
Its stamina's still full. Ash—it's all up to you now."
Brandon looked toward Ash.
Ash nodded calmly.
"Regigiiii…"
At that moment, Regigigas broke free from Regice and Registeel's restraint.
Its eyes—embedded into its massive body—flashed a piercing red!
And just like that…
Brandon's Regice, Regirock, and Registeel—
were taken over by Regigigas!
They were, after all, its ancient guardians.
To Regigigas, controlling them was child's play.
"I'll handle this from here!"
Ash turned to Dawn, Anabel, and Maria.
He had Sceptile and Tyranitar protect them—
To make sure they weren't caught in the blast of the coming battle.
Ash now held four Poké Balls in his hand.
None of them were ordinary.
One of them… was a Master Ball—
The very first one the system had given him.
Because within it…
Lived Mewtwo.
This time, because he didn't know how long it would take for Officer Jenny's unit to arrive,
Ash needed to end the fight fast.
Which meant…
A team brawl!
"Come out—Mewtwo! Darkrai! Cresselia! Latias! Charizard!"
Mewtwo—Level 102.
Darkrai and Latias—Level 100.
Cresselia and Charizard—both Level 85!
Three Tier One Legendaries. Two high-tier powerhouses.
Ash locked eyes with Regigigas.
Pokémon: Regigigas
Category: Colossal Pokémon
Type: Normal
Ability: Slow Start
Aptitude: Gold
Level: 106
Moves: Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Dizzy Punch, Mach Punch, Focus Punch, Drain Punch, Confuse Ray, Foresight, Iron Head, Zen Headbutt, Payback, Heavy Slam, Giga Impact, Hyper Beam, Wide Guard…
Exclusive Move: Crush Grip
A Level 106 Tier One Legendary!
Regigigas wasn't a unique species—
But a Regigigas that had reached 106…
Was just three levels shy of the Time-Space duo.
Its strength was on another scale entirely.
Ash had to finish this before Regigigas went fully berserk—
And before law enforcement arrived.
Which meant:
Gang up. End it. Fast.
The moment Mewtwo appeared, Brandon and Maria both collapsed into a hypnotic sleep.
They weren't like Dawn or Anabel—
They weren't trusted allies.
And Ash couldn't risk them revealing what they saw.
At the same time, Mewtwo used its psychic powers to teleport every human and Pokémon within a ten-kilometer radius far away.
"Dawn, Anabel, take care of Brandon and the Temple Maiden Maria.
Sceptile, Tyranitar—stay alert for battle fallout.
Try to keep the area intact!"
"Sceptile!"
"Tyranitar!"
Regigigas had now locked eyes on Mewtwo.
That Pokémon…
Gave it a genuine sense of danger.
"It's starting—listen up!
Cresselia and Charizard—harass from long range.
Draw its attention.
Mewtwo, Darkrai, Latias—go all-in on offense!"
Ash summoned Pidgeot.
Mounted its back for mobility and safety.
Because when Tier One Legendaries clashed…
Ash had no plans of being caught in the crossfire.
Regigigas, controlling its three golems,
Had them all fire Hyper Beams—
Aimed straight at Mewtwo.
It saw Mewtwo as its greatest threat.
"Charizard—Flamethrower!
Cresselia—Illusion Burst!
Darkrai—Dark Pulse!"
"Latias, Mewtwo—Calm Mind!"
None of them were defending Mewtwo.
They all focused their attacks on Regigigas!
Latias and Mewtwo began stacking Calm Mind buffs.
If Regigigas was a living juggernaut—
Then Mewtwo's body, cloned from Mew's DNA by Team Rocket,
Had been engineered from the best materials in the world.
Brandon's three golems were, at best, sub-Level 80.
Their attacks?
Mewtwo didn't even blink.
Meanwhile, Charizard, Cresselia, and Darkrai's triple assault struck Regigigas directly—
A massive explosion erupted!
At the epicenter—Regigigas—
A mushroom cloud shot into the sky!
But in the very next moment—
The three fingers on each of Regigigas' colossal hands extended infinitely—
And wrapped around Mewtwo and Latias like monstrous chains!
