Chapter 433: Registeel
"Raaahr~~"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the intensity of the sandstorm suddenly rose another level.
In the city of Mecca, countless unaware citizens walked out of their homes, looking at the terrifying sandstorm outside the city. Many even knelt and began to pray. To mortals, such a terrifying natural disaster seemed more like a miracle sent by the Lord.
"It's the Desert Tyrant Tyranitar!"
In the center of the sandstorm, Koga Hayato and Faisal both felt deep apprehension. As a member of a desert alliance, Faisal was no stranger to Tyranitar's voice.
Shh-shh-shh-shh~
The sandstorm continued to rage, but the sand in the center suddenly retreated, forming a vacuum zone covering more than one square kilometer. Outside the vacuum zone, the sandstorm continued to wreak havoc, even blocking out the sun.
If someone flew over from the sky at this moment, they would see a giant sandstorm dome formed on the ground.
"This sandstorm isn't meant to hurt us, but to prevent us from escaping, and also to prevent outsiders from detecting or entering to rescue."
Faisal's face was gloomy, seeing through the intention of the Sandstorm weather.
He snorted coldly, "Who on earth dares to show off in the heartland of my Saudi Alliance, the Holy City? Do they really think my Saudi Alliance is made of mud? Even a clay figure has some temper!"
"Presumably, to stop me from obtaining a pseudo-legendary!"
Koga Hayato sneered repeatedly, "I just don't know which faction this person comes from!"
"Awoo~"
Just then, a wolf howl with extremely strong penetrating power rang out.
At the edge of the sandstorm, a tiger-like Pokémon with black and orange stripes ran over with large strides, its body seemingly merging with the wind as it ran. Before long, this Pokémon arrived opposite Koga Hayato from several kilometers away, its smooth fur flowing in the wind, majestic.
"Arcanine? China?" Koga Hayato narrowed his eyes slightly.
At the same time, a large hole opened in the sandstorm encirclement on the horizon, then closed immediately. Through the hole, a large bird Pokémon flew in, with a white crest of three feathers on its head, reddish-brown roots, three white feathers on each cheek, and a tuft of white fluff on the back of its neck. With a flap of its wings, countless storms were generated and annihilated beneath them.
"Braviary! The US Alliance?"
Koga Hayato's heart grew heavier.
The US Alliance was the suzerain of the Japanese Alliance, but also the force most wary of the Japanese Alliance's rise. After all, a dog only needs enough strength to serve; if it's too strong, it might bite its master.
Unfortunately, this was just the beginning, not the end.
With the sandstorm howling, three more Pokémon surrounded them from three directions.
The Pokémon on the left looked like three gears combined, with spiked gears.
The Pokémon on the right looked like a gentleman in a tuxedo, the extension on its bowler hat resembling a snowflake corner, mouth covered by a handlebar mustache, holding an ice cane in mitten-covered hands, shoes resembling tap dance shoes.
As for the middle Pokémon, it looked like a giant bear standing upright, with a burly body, a headband-like fur hanging down forward, and white patterns around its head.
"Klinklang! Mr. Rime! Urshifu!"
Koga Hayato's heart sank to the bottom instantly.
Because Klinklang was the signature Pokémon of the French Alliance, Mr. Rime was the signature Pokémon of the British Alliance. As for Urshifu, it was the signature Pokémon of the Bear (Russian) Alliance.
The gathering of signature Pokémon from the five major alliances carried an interesting implication. Of course, this could just be bluffing. After all, signature Pokémon of the five major alliances also flowed out, so it didn't prove the opponent was sent by the five major alliances.
"Want to stop me? That depends on whether your strength is enough!"
Koga Hayato got fierce and released all the Pokémon in his hand.
Ace Pokémon Greninja, insidious and cunning Shiftry, fierce and terrifying Drapion, majestic and robust Incineroar, and Malamar floating in mid-air. Plus the Honchkrow beneath him, Koga Hayato was clearly a trainer specializing in Dark types.
Seeing the intercepting Pokémon, Faisal already felt something was wrong. But he understood that even if the situation was dire, he must not retreat, as this concerned national dignity.
So, he also released all his Pokémon. Besides Flygon and Gigalith, there were Tyranitar, Bisharp, Krookodile, and Metagross. As a Saudi Heavenly King, Faisal not only had two weather setters but also lacked no pseudo-legendaries.
Soon, the battle erupted!
Although there was a significant gap in the number of Pokémon, forming a 12 vs. 5 situation, unexpectedly, the five intercepting Pokémon were exceptionally strong. Even facing two or three opponents, they counterattacked with ease.
Especially that Rapid Strike Style Urshifu, whose strength was terrifyingly strong. A seemingly casual punch often sent force through hundreds of meters of space, landing precisely on Koga Hayato's Pokémon. Unfortunately for Koga Hayato, his Pokémon were all Dark-types, facing a severe disadvantage against the Fighting-type Urshifu's attacks, falling directly into a disadvantage.
As for Faisal, his Pokémon had high base stats, but their combat ability was inferior to Koga Hayato's, completely suppressed into a corner. Even the combined efforts of his Tyranitar and Gigalith couldn't shake the sandstorm prison in the slightest.
Simply put, the strength difference was too great.
At the edge of the sandstorm circle, white light flashed, and Mr. Blue Suit and his Malamar instantly appeared. They floated in mid-air, watching the battle on the field like spectators, not intervening. Only the smiles on their faces were enigmatic, revealing nothing of their thoughts.
"Master Faisal, has your reinforcement not arrived yet?"
Koga Hayato beckoned the Honchkrow beneath him to retreat repeatedly. Although the battle had only lasted a short while, his Shiftry, Drapion, and Malamar had suffered varying degrees of injuries. Only Incineroar and Greninja were resisting with fire and water.
Such a big event happening in the Holy City of Mecca, he didn't believe the Saudi Alliance wouldn't notice.
"Should be here soon, hold on a bit longer!" Faisal looked at the horizon. Unfortunately, the sandstorm was too thick, and he couldn't see the situation outside clearly. But logically, reinforcements must be arriving soon.
Rewind to when the sandstorm descended.
Riyadh, Royal Hotel. Basalt was still squatting in the toilet. Only he wasn't on the toilet bowl but leaning against the wall, scrolling through his phone.
After scrolling who knows how many times, Basalt finally saw the world headline news.
Holy City Mecca, Terrifying Sandstorm Appears!
"Sandstorm? Is it Father Tyranitar?" Basalt guessed inwardly.
He clicked the link to see more detailed information, but unfortunately, there was no battlefield information at all. The link only contained Mecca's reaction and the response from the Saudi Royal Family.
In the Saudi Royal Palace.
Learning that something happened in the Holy City of Mecca, Abdullah was also stunned. Connecting it with Basalt's strange behavior in the morning, he had some thoughts but dared not speak recklessly.
"Quick! Go invite the Divine Messenger!"
Hearing about the incident in Mecca, the aged Saudi King thought of the Divine Messenger immediately.
"Father King, the Divine Messenger is right next to the Holy City of Mecca. It received the news earlier than us; it should be arriving soon!"
Abdullah's eyes flickered, but he gently comforted his old father.
Divine Messenger, the messenger of God, and also the guardian of the Saudi Alliance. However, the Saudi Divine Messenger wasn't a human, but a Pokémon!
Mecca.
Beside the terrifying sandstorm prison, a grey, spherical Pokémon was flying rapidly, piercing straight through the sandstorm prison and charging in.
It had black stripes on its body, a hexagonal pattern of seven red dots on its face, three fingers on each black arm, and cylindrical legs.
This Pokémon flew very fast, but before entering the sandstorm prison, someone caught a glimpse and posted a photo online.
Basalt, who had been following this matter, quickly scrolled to this photo.
"This is... Registeel!"
Basalt's mouth hung open, dumbfounded.
A Legendary Pokémon!
A Legendary Pokémon appeared in the Holy Land Mecca!
Scrolling further, someone immediately revealed the origin of this Registeel. It was the Guardian of the Mecca Holy Land!
"Mr. Blue Suit, can you handle it?"
Basalt regarded Mr. Blue Suit as a compatriot, so he was extremely worried.
Although Registeel was only a member of the Legendary Titans (Regis), not known for immense power among Legendaries, a Legendary was still a Legendary, even if only a minor one without a divine position. Because there was a qualitative difference between Legendaries and ordinary Pokémon. This was a huge chasm!
"Hahaha, Mr. Koga Hayato, our Saudi Guardian God has arrived!"
Seeing Registeel appear, Faisal was overjoyed: "We are safe; watch the Divine Messenger repel the enemy."
With the Divine Messenger here, presumably, the mysterious man in the blue suit would retreat in the face of difficulties. However, Faisal didn't plan to pursue, because the mysterious man could gather signature Pokémon of the five major alliances, all at the peak of Master-level; his origin must be extraordinary. Even if Registeel could keep him, Faisal would speak up to let Registeel deliberately release him; truly couldn't afford to provoke!
Moreover, with this incident, Koga Hayato's request for a pseudo-legendary could be saved. Presumably, he wouldn't dare ask again!
As the Iron Regi, Registeel's strength was indeed terrifying. Relying on the flight ability from Magnet Rise, it rampaged through, actually beating Urshifu back repeatedly. As for Klinklang and Mr. Rime, they fled directly, daring not to engage it.
But just then, unnoticed by anyone, the shadow behind Mr. Blue Suit suddenly condensed into a black silhouette, floating like a shadow but attacking rapidly.
"Since the main target has arrived, there's no need to hold back!"
Mr. Blue Suit waved his hand and shouted, "Dark Void!"
