As the earth trembled, Morty, who was inside a house in Snowpoint City, slowly awakened. She immediately ran to the window and looked toward the Temple.
There, the thick dark clouds were pierced by endless beams of light, and sacred radiance rained down in streaks;
There, the snowflakes that had begun falling for some unknown reason transformed into spirits of light, dancing through the sky and chanting an incomprehensible hymn;
There,
The Giant of Light stood tall amid the hymn, the spirits, and the holy radiance. Countless invisible rays extended from its back, reaching straight into the heavens, while its silver-white limbs plunged deep into the earth. The endless tremors seemed almost tangible.
At that moment, the Giant of Light connected heaven and earth. An indescribable aura spread in all directions, announcing its existence to all things.
It was,
Regigigas!!
"Regigigas..."
Morty forced out its name with a sound like a groan.
This was an existence that, in ancient times—no, even now—Snowpoint Gym regarded as a deity.
Moreover, the Regigigas before her was not in its ordinary form, but resembled the Giant of Light from myth!!
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why hadn't the Guardian Pokémon in the Temple stopped N?!
Why would Regigigas respond to the call of an ordinary human?!
Why would Regigigas descend as the Giant of Light?!!
So many questions nearly burst Morty's mind. She struggled to take out her Pokédex, wanting to contact Misty, the League, and the person who could calm everything down—Champion Cynthia!!
However, the instant she took out the Pokédex, Morty saw a beam of light, a light that blotted out the sky and earth before exploding with a boom. The next moment, she lost consciousness.
Morty was not the only one who lost consciousness. The entire Snowpoint City had its vitality stripped away
