Seeing Ho-Oh appear, Regigigas looked shocked.
'Where did this guy get so many divine Pokémon?'
'He couldn't have tricked them all here the way he duped Xerneas just now, could he?'
'No, I have to hurry and get to work.'
Regigigas was afraid that if he stayed with Axel any longer, Axel would start coveting parts of him.
But with Ho-Oh's flames present, it would save a lot of effort.
Regigigas decided to use the remainder of his power to raise Regirock's level.
Anyway, the leftover power wasn't enough to handcraft other Regirocks, so it was better to be in a good mood and make Axel pay more attention to the Giratina matter.
["Ho-Oh, thank you for your help!"]
Under Ho-Oh's flames, Regigigas placed one by one the Feathers of Destruction and other items Axel had prepared into the forming mass.
Besides those divine artifacts, Axel had also specially added some gold from Gholdengo.
When he made Regirock, aside from having it serve as Eva's bodyguard, he also wanted Regirock to act as her assistant.
Axel didn't know much about electronics, but he knew gold and silicon were indispensable good things.
'Adding some should boost Regirock's computing power, right?'
Seeing Axel's reckless antics, Regigigas was completely exhausted.
Luckily Ho-Oh was here, otherwise he really wouldn't know what strange thing would be created today.
["Anything else? I'm about to finish up."]
"Yes, yes, yes!", Axel hurriedly raised his hand and gently poked Xerneas' branch.
"Xerneas, could you let me live forever?"
No response; the surface of the little tree remained dull and lifeless.
"Completely sealed off consciousness? Then I can relax," Axel quietly summoned Gible and had him lightly bite the little tree.
A small piece of jade-like bark fell off; Gible's eyes brightened and he instinctively wanted to swallow it.
Axel's hand was quicker, he slipped his right hand into Gible's mouth, pulled out the bark, and threw it toward Regigigas.
Regigigas tugged at the corner of his mouth.
'Oh no, I'm an accomplice now...'
———
Soon, a dense white light shone in Regigigas' hands.
The whole mountain range began to emit a faint glow, as if welcoming the birth of a rock god.
Quickly the white light faded.
A black-gray Regirock with a metallic sheen appeared in everyone's sight.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
— Regirock: Level 45 (Rock Pokémon; during birth many materials were added, gaining indestructibility and self-regeneration)
— Type: Rock
— Ability: Pure Body (stats cannot be lowered by opponent's moves or abilities)
— Moves: Rock Slide, Ancient Power, Superpower, Explosion, Heavy Slam...
— Held Item: None
— Breed/Rank: Divine
— Tags: Electronic Lifeform (Supreme), Self-Repair (Gold), Super Server (Gold)
• Electronic Lifeform: Can transmit itself through networks; as long as the network doesn't die, it won't truly die.
• Self-Repair: Constantly restoring health and injuries.
• Super Server: Has the computing speed every researcher dreams of, and the predictive capability every trainer chases.
[System Sharp Review: Bro, with such great material, why don't you make a gacha PvP game? Use this as a game server.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Axel: "..."
He knew this system was not serious and kept spouting nonsense.
'Use this thing as a game server?'
After Regirock appeared, his gaze swept the surroundings.
A faint blue sci-fi light flashed in his eyes, and he finally locked onto Axel's Rotom tucked in Axel's pocket.
With a wave, a blue beam connected the two.
Regirock's eyes flashed with intelligence; electronic-sounding speech came from his mouth.
["Was I created to be a bodyguard and assistant?"]
["The process of being made... is wonderful."]
["Born a divine being right away? The one who made me is also at the pinnacle of this world. And my body seems to contain many powerful forces..."]
After checking Rotom's data, Regirock quickly understood everything about the world, even sneaking a peek at Axel's chat history with Eva.
Seeing Regirock's high intelligence, Regigigas blinked hard.
'Is this still a Regirock?'
'Why isn't it dumb?'
But the next moment, Regirock dashed all of Regigigas' illusions.
After murmuring a bit, he bowed toward Axel and Regigigas' direction.
["Father, Mother, I will not let you down."]
["I will assist my master, and make her the most learned doctor in this world!"]
Regigigas: "!!!"
'Don't say things like that!'
Axel: "???"
'I want a refund!'
———
After creating Regirock, Regigigas disappeared at light speed, afraid Axel would actually demand a refund.
But Axel had only said it jokingly.
This Regirock looked so fierce, how could he return it?
After saying goodbye to Regigigas' retreating back, Axel casually found a Geodude to test Regirock's abilities.
His defense was outstanding; combined with the self-repair tag, even taking many hits from Geodude left him like nothing happened.
And under normal conditions, Regirock could pre-emptively predict what attack Geodude would use and where it would strike.
In other words, he was a super-strong human-machine, without a trainer he could still perform at a very high level.
Of course, he could never match a top trainer.
Every top trainer has their own tactics or bonds; that's not something computing power alone can make up for.
Regirock's only weakness was slow reaction speed, but that happened to be Eva's research subject.
With Eva's general research direction and Regirock's computing power, they should be able to solve that quickly.
"Hiss! Partially solving the issue of some Pokémon's attack speed, plus Z-power needs her research too. I feel like she's about to become a top-rich lady soon?", Axel sighed inwardly, but felt no awkwardness.
He had raised this rich lady since she was little, so it felt especially confident to consume her success.
Even ignoring feelings, by seniority he was still her second dad.
Next up was how to trick Eva into coming to Alola to work for him.
Axel didn't hesitate, he directly called Eva.
"Doo-doo-doo~", The call connected, but it wasn't the research scene Axel had imagined.
She was in a tropical environment, running wildly with a girl Axel was very familiar with.
'Lillie?'
