Inside Snowpoint Temple.
While Li Wei was battling Hunter J,
rubble and dust rained down from the ceiling as Regigigas, furious at being woken, rampaged through Snowpoint Temple.

In reality, however, Regigigas might need a very long time to fully awaken.
It could take several days, or even months or years. All of those were entirely possible.
Besides, Regigigas had only just awakened after such a long slumber. It was possible that his strength
