"Electric and Dragon, huh…"
Platinum was still contemplating, her gaze constantly shifting between Regidrago and Regieleki.
She was still deliberating which one to choose.
Actually, if she were to choose according to her team composition, Platinum felt she should pick Regieleki.
Because Regieleki is an Electric-type, and she didn't have a main Electric-type in her team, unlike Dragon-types.
She already had a Garchomp.
However, in reality, this wasn't a major issue, as Garchomp could also serve as a main Ground-type, and a pure Dragon-type Regidrago's role wouldn't necessarily overlap with Garchomp's.
Mainly, Platinum also didn't know what kind of Pokémon these two 'giants' specialized in.
"Regieleki is a high-speed Pokémon, while Regidrago is a type with extremely high HP, but due to their abilities, their offensive capabilities are also not bad."
Mammon naturally understood Platinum's meaning and briefly introduced the two Pokémon to her.
In the games, Regieleki and Regidrago have very similar base stats; the only differences are their HP and Speed.
Regidrago's HP base stat is 200, while Regieleki's Speed base stat is 200.
And because of their abilities, their attacks are also not bad, especially Regidrago; its signature move, Dragon Energy, is essentially a Dragon-type Fire Blast or Hydro Pump!
This is a very powerful move, and combined with the ability 'Dragon's Maw' boosting Dragon Energy, one can imagine the power of a full-health Dragon Energy from Regidrago.
If Regidrago were to Terastallize into a Dragon-type for further enhancement, oh my, the sheer power.
As for Regieleki, while it doesn't have a powerful signature move like 'Electro Burst,' it has Extreme Speed.
In reality, Regieleki's incredibly high speed combined with Extreme Speed, without moves like Trick Room that distort both sides' speeds, is simply a cancerous presence.
Hmm, however, using Extreme Speed, Regieleki's attack power might be relatively average, but even if it's just 'scratching,' if it scratches fast enough, it's still very impressive.
Moreover, Regieleki's attack can actually be considered decent, not purely scratching.
Purely in terms of combat power, how to put it?
The high-speed Regieleki is slightly stronger than the higher-HP Regidrago, but in reality, combat performance also depends on the actual opponent.
Regieleki can easily pull off incredible plays, potentially sweeping three or four Pokémon, or even causing the opponent to forfeit if things go smoothly.
But if it gets caught, Regieleki can also be easily taken out in one go, as Regieleki's defenses are too frail.
Regidrago, on the other hand, has higher fault tolerance, making it difficult to say which is superior.
"One speed-oriented, one stamina-oriented, huh…"
But what Mammon said was enough; Platinum had already roughly understood the strengths of these two 'giants.'
"Mammon, I want to try Regieleki."
Platinum's gaze settled on Regieleki; indeed, she still chose Regieleki.
Platinum currently has one speed-oriented Pokémon, which is Pheromosa.
Undoubtedly, Pheromosa is very powerful, and indeed very strong.
And Regieleki can not only supplement the missing type in her team but is also an excellent high-speed attacker.
"Alright."
Mammon nodded to Dark Mewtwo, and Dark Mewtwo waved its arm, releasing its control over Regieleki.
At the same time, Dark Mewtwo also used Psychic to move the nearby Regidrago, slamming it heavily onto the ground.
With a loud thud.
When they looked again, Regidrago was deeply embedded in the ground, unconscious.
Evidently, Regidrago had lost its ability to battle.
"Huh?"
Gloria was astonished once again.
Bro, what the heck?
You just said Regidrago's advantage was its HP, and now it's instantly knocked out by a Psychic?
You are truly too exaggerated!
"Go, Platinum, be careful, Regieleki is not easy to deal with." Mammon reminded Platinum.
"Mhm~!"
Platinum nodded seriously, then slowly walked to the front of the group, looking up at Regieleki in the air.
"Regi~!"
The dots on Regieleki's body kept flashing; it glanced at the intimidating Dark Mewtwo, then at the already subdued Regidrago.
"Regieleki, I want to challenge you."
Platinum's Poké Ball enlarged in her hand, and she spoke solemnly to Regieleki.
"If I can defeat you, please become my partner."
"Regi!!"
Regieleki looked down at the human girl, its Growl, mixed with the sound of electricity, became much more high-pitched, and the golden lightning on Regieleki instantly became dazzlingly bright.
Clearly, Regieleki accepted the challenge.
It also understood that it had no other choice.
"Entei!"
Platinum forcefully threw out her Poké Ball, and with a majestic roar, Entei of the Ho-Oh's Guard leaped out, raising its head high to gaze at Regieleki.
The legendary Entei!
Knowing that Regieleki's strength lay in its speed, Platinum did not use Garchomp.
And it wasn't safe to have Pheromosa clash with Regieleki in a speed battle, as Platinum was well aware of Pheromosa's weakness.
That is, Pheromosa's defenses are simply too low, making it unsafe.
Entei, however, was very suitable; Entei's own combat power was among the best in her team, and Entei also knew Extreme Speed.
"Wow! It's Entei!"
Seeing Platinum pull out an Entei, Gloria was stunned again.
This is also a Legendary Pokémon!!
That is to say, if she can catch this Regieleki, then this girl, who looks about her age, will have two Legendary Pokémon!
This… this is too fortunate, isn't it?
"Hmm, isn't it good? Our Team Rockets' benefits are very good, you know."
Mammon smiled and threw a Poké Ball at Regidrago, with Dark Mewtwo secretly intervening.
The Poké Ball only shook twice before settling, Regidrago was caught, and Mammon put Regidrago's Poké Ball into his backpack.
"Mammon, you're amazing~!"
Gloria exclaimed adorably; she was truly impressed. A Legendary Pokémon, caught so easily.
And is this really Team Rockets' benefit package?
Gloria watched Entei and Regieleki, who had already started battling on the stage, her big eyes blinking continuously. She was quite curious about the girl's skill level.
And Regieleki.
"Regi Regijiji"
Regieleki's electric-like sound kept ringing, and the golden lightning crackled wildly.
The next moment, Regieleki instantly dashed directly above Entei, its arms pulled in, its entire body glowing with dazzling electric light like a light source.
Its Transistor ability activated wildly.
"Fire Blast!"
Platinum commanded decisively.
Roar!!
Entei's roar was deafening, and its entire body also glowed with a fiery red light.
The ground beneath Entei's feet cracked, and hot, fiery red light flowed out.
Zzzzzzz~
The next moment, Regieleki fully extended its arms, and terrifying currents poured down wildly, the dense currents making one's scalp tingle.
Regieleki's signature move — the Electric-type Thunder Cage!
Under the effect of Transistor, the power of this Thunder Cage increased significantly.
However, Entei was completely unwilling to show weakness.
Boom!
Surging, violent flames erupted, a Fire Blast like a volcanic eruption spewing from the ground, meeting the lightning descending from the sky.
The Fire-type Fire Blast!
Flames and lightning violently collided head-on in mid-air, deep red and golden yellow clashing wildly against each other, illuminating the entire ruins.
Waves of air spread out, vibrating, and Fire Blast and Thunder Cage actually stalemated.
Scorching flames, violent lightning, filled Mammon and the others' vision.
The next moment, accompanied by Entei's roar, the flames of Fire Blast erupted again, and the two attacks finally could not hold their ground, exploding heavily.
Rumble!
Powerful energy vibrated outwards, the entire ruins trembled violently, and the shockwave pushed both Regieleki and Entei back.
Platinum had immediately sent out Garchomp to protect herself.
And Mammon and the others were naturally unaffected under the Psychic protection of Dark Mewtwo.
"So strong!!"
Gloria's eyes glowed as she watched Entei and Regieleki. Originally, she had a slight doubt whether these two 'giants' were not strong, which was why Regidrago was easily defeated.
But now seeing the clash between Entei and Regieleki, she knew that was completely impossible!
"This Regieleki…"
Serena's beautiful brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Regieleki, who had regained its footing.
This Regieleki's strength was even greater than that of the three Galar Legendary Birds. Mammon clearly stated that Regieleki's greatest strength was its speed.
But just now, this Electric-type move actually clashed head-on with Entei's full-power Fire Blast, and it seemed evenly matched, which was simply absurd.
It was astonishingly strong.
"Hmm, for Platinum, this will be a tough battle."
Mammon understood Serena's meaning and nodded, saying.
"Mammon!"
Gloria could no longer hold back, and after a moment of hesitation, she spoke to Mammon.
"What's wrong, Gloria?" Mammon turned his head at the sound, looking at Gloria curiously.
"I'd like to ask, what are the requirements if I want to join Team Rockets?"
