[Held Item: Pearl of Origin]
A perfect 6IV Pokemon!
After seeing the three legendary birds with multiple variations, John hadn't been very optimistic about the potential of the three legendary golems.
However, he was immediately proven wrong.
The last 6IV he had encountered was Shaymin.
However, what surprised John wasn't Regirock's individual values. After all, even if it was 6V, he wouldn't personally train Regirock.
What truly shocked him was the item Regirock carried.
[Pearl of Origin: A legendary item containing power from the beginning of the world's creation, primal and violent. Only beings from the primordial era can control this force!]
A legendary item, but with no stat bonuses, only a description.
And judging from that description, this wasn't just any legendary item.
Power from the time the world was created. Primal power.
This immediately made John think of the two idiots of Hoenn, namely Kyogre and Groudon.
Both of them could undergo a form change known as Primal Reversion.
After Primal Reversion, their abilities became Primordial Sea and Desolate Land.
The environments created by these two abilities represented the world as it was at the beginning of creation.
Could this Pearl of Origin be related to Hoenn's Primal Reversion?
John shook his head slightly.
There was no way to know for certain. The thoughts above were just his own speculation.
Whether it was truly the case or not, he wouldn't know unless he captured Hoenn's legendary duo in the future.
He removed the Pearl of Origin from Regirock's body and stored it separately. After all, it was a legendary Pokemon item. When he returned, he would take it to the laboratory for further study. Perhaps he would gain some unexpected insights.
"Now that the Pokemon on the second floor has been defeated, let's check out the third floor," John suggested.
Palina hesitated for a moment, but Sabi immediately agreed.
"Sure!"
Palina looked at Sabi in astonishment. The leaders of both their clans hadn't arrived yet, it was too risky to move ahead rashly.
'Risky?'
'Once you see my team's strength with your own eyes, you won't think so.'
Sabi gave Palina a reassuring look and gestured that she would explain later.
"However, we should still send a message to the leaders."
"Then I'll scout ahead first," John said, showing respect for their concerns and taking the initiative to go up first.
"I'll go too!" Akari followed John like a loyal companion.
"Thank you," Sabi said gratefully.
John led Garchomp and Akari to the third floor.
Sabi and Palina remained on the second floor.
The moment John disappeared, Sabi quickly turned to Palina. "Hurry and inform your leader to come to Snowpoint Temple immediately. If nothing goes wrong, our exploration progress will accelerate dramatically."
"Accelerate so quickly?" Palina asked, not understanding what Sabi meant.
"Let me put it this way," Sabi said seriously. "If the Pokemon guarding the keys on the upper four floors of Snowpoint Temple are the same as the one on the second floor, then before our leaders even arrive, that man might have already cleared the entire Snowpoint Temple."
After saying that, Sabi didn't wait for Palina to respond. She immediately went to her Diamond Clan partners to quickly notify Adaman to come to the Snowpoint Temple.
Third Floor.
The moment John's feet touched the ground, a wave of cold air spread out.
The temperature began to drop rapidly.
The third floor of Snowpoint Temple was much colder than the first two floors.
However, it wasn't a major problem. Gardevoir raised her hand, and invisible Psychic energy surrounded John's entire body, shielding him from the freezing air.
At the same time, Gardevoir's mental power began to spread rapidly throughout the surroundings.
It scanned the entire third floor of Snowpoint Temple like radar, then transmitted the image to John's mind as usual.
"Huh, there are quite a few Pokemon living here," John said in surprise.
In the three-dimensional model in his mind, many Pokemon shapes appeared.
There were about a hundred of them. Most were Pokemon made purely of ice and snow, Vanillish, Avalugg, and Cryogonal.
In such a harsh living environment inside Snowpoint Temple, only these types of Pokemon could survive safely.
In addition, an existence with a body made entirely of ice crystals was guarding the entrance to the fourth floor.
As expected, it was likely the Ice Golem, Regice.
However, John still had something to do before capturing Regice.
"Gardevoir, use Psychic to knock out all the ordinary Pokemon on the third floor of Snowpoint Temple, then Teleport them over," John suddenly ordered.
Akari thought this command sounded a bit ridiculous, but considering John's Garchomp, Gardevoir's power didn't seem incomprehensible.
Gardevoir MEGA evolved into Mega Gardevoir.
Lavender energy surged wildly.
At that moment, every Pokemon on the third floor of Snowpoint Temple felt a sharp impact inside their heads. Their vision went black, and they lost consciousness.
In front of John and Akari, hundreds of fainted Pokemon appeared out of thin air along their path forward.
"Where did... so many Pokemon come from?" Akari asked adorably, rubbing her eyes repeatedly, thinking she was hallucinating.
"They're all the Pokemon from the third floor. Gardevoir defeated them and teleported them here," John explained casually.
'Teleported here?'
'Defeated by Gardevoir?'
But hadn't Gardevoir been beside John the whole time?
Could it be... there were still other guardians here?
These Pokemon on the third floor of Snowpoint Temple would probably all end up captured once the Diamond and Pearl Clans finished exploring anyway.
Rather than leaving them for others, it was better to take them into his own collection.
Some ice-type Pokemon could be added to the ranch.
With Articuno already there, he didn't have to worry about them lacking a proper habitat. At worst, he could build an Ice Island like the one in the Orange Islands.
Plus, there would soon be Regice as well.
