A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

Zhang Leiyuan did not immediately answer his son's question about how to deal with Reggie Ellech.

He first walked slowly to Zhang Heng's side, reached out and patted his son's shoulder heavily.

That hand, clenched into a fist year-round and covered in calluses from the trainer, was heavy yet exuded an undeniable warmth.

"Young people should be more energetic."

Zhang Leiyuan's voice lowered, losing the fierceness of the battlefield and gaining a deeper, more fatherly tone.

"If the pressure is too great, Dad will support you. Even if the sky falls, I, the eldest son, will be the first to bear the brunt."

His gaze fell on Zhang Heng's calm yet undeniably weary face. Deep in his eyes was the undisguised heartache of a father seeing his child forced to grow up quickly and stained with blood.

Which parent doesn't want to protect their child from the wind and rain forever, so that they can live a carefree life?

But reality and fate pushed Zhang Heng onto this path filled with thorns and powerful enemies.

Zhang Heng felt the warmth of his father's hand and the weight of his words, which warmed his heart, but he nodded noncommittally.

"I know, Dad..."

He knew his father's intentions, but he also knew that some burdens he had to shoulder and some paths he had to walk alone.

Zhang Leiyuan withdrew his hand, turned his gaze to Reggie Elech, who was suppressed by Sidora and whose aura was weak but who was still standing tall in the distance, and changed the subject, his tone carrying a hint of admonish teasing.

"However, we're facing a divine beast, the fastest creature in legend. Don't be so quick to shout for battle."

"They also have their own pride and dignity. Destruction is easy, but conquering and guiding is a higher level for trainers."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Heng was about to nod in agreement, thinking that his father was about to give a profound speech on respecting legendary Pokémon and trying to communicate with and tame them.

But Zhang Leiyuan had already strolled slowly to a few meters in front of Reggie Ellery and stopped.

He first looked the scarred yet still indomitable golden pillar up and down, then a warm smile appeared on his face.

If you ignore the undisguised, sharp gaze in that smile, like a tiger eyeing its prey.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Zhang Heng and all the Pokémon present, including the dying Regigigas.

Zhang Leiyuan reached into the inside pocket of his magnificent champion uniform, rummaged around for a while, and even showed a thoughtful expression on his face as if he were looking for something.

Finally, he pulled something out and casually tossed it towards Reggio Emilia.

The thing traced a parabola in the air, and when it landed on the scorched ground, the sound was crisp but... somewhat cheap.

Zhang Heng looked closely and almost lost control of his expression.

That was none other than a memorial ball!

It's the kind of ordinary white and red commemorative ball that you get for free when you buy a Poké Ball during promotions at Pokémon Centers or large shopping malls!

Cheap, mass-produced, and with no special functions, they are usually used by trainers to carry some unimportant items, or to catch Caterpie or Rattata that they don't care about on the roadside...

Zhang Leiyuan looked at the memorial ball lying quietly on the ground, and then at Reggio Emilia, whose eyes seemed somewhat dazed.

With his face full of "warm" smiles, he uttered words whose threat almost solidified into reality.

"You can choose to come with me."

He paused, his smile unchanged, but the air around him seemed to have cooled down a few degrees.

"or……"

He didn't say what came after "or," but the lingering killing intent and the subtext of "If you don't come with me, I'll make you disappear completely from this spirit world" were palpable.

Zhang Heng was so shocked by his father's drastically different actions that he was speechless for a moment.

Who was it that just said we should respect legendary Pokémon? And then they immediately throw out the cheapest Poké Balls and a blatant threat of a choice? Isn't this respect a bit too "heavy"?

Regigi Elech’s three black electrodes were now flashing wildly at an unprecedented frequency, with the internal current surging erratically.

It seemed to be expressing its inner turmoil, humiliation, and... a resigned despair.

It had just escaped from an abyss that enslaved it with evil fragments, only to fall into another seemingly "kind" but actually more powerful and domineering "tiger's mouth".

Should it go with this human? Using this kind of ball? But if it doesn't go... it has no doubt that the other party truly has the strength and determination to leave it here permanently.

To be or not to be? To have dignity, or to exist?

The electricity around Regigi flickered faintly as it engaged in intense "calculations" within its simple mind.

Ultimately, the instinct for survival, and a subtle sense of the immense power emanating from the human being before him, overcame all feelings of humiliation.

Since Zhang Leiyuan was resurrected by Phoenix Feather, he has been more or less tainted by Phoenix's aura, which makes Reggie Elegy feel fear.

It emitted an extremely low, whimpering electrical hum.

Then, the entire golden figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, much dimmer than in its prime but still pure, and with a "whoosh," it actively plunged into the white memorial sphere on the ground.

The commemorative ball snapped shut, and the central button lit up red.

But the next moment, something unexpected happened!

“Buzz——!!!”

The cheap commemorative ball began to vibrate wildly and at a high frequency! Fine, spiderweb-like cracks and shadows even appeared on the surface of the ball!

An uncontrollable, violent thunderous roar emanated from within!

Regigigas is, after all, a master-level legendary Pokémon! The lightning energy contained within its body is extremely high and incredibly domineering.

Even though it was severely injured and weak at this moment, and even though it was willing to be subdued, its original energy was still an unbearable burden for this ordinary memorial ball!

It's like a giant trying to squeeze into a child's tent; the tent could burst at any moment!

The memorial sphere trembled violently in the air, its red light flashing wildly, as if it were about to explode at any moment, releasing the divine beast inside or annihilating the sphere along with it.

Zhang Leiyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, but still crossed his arms and watched leisurely, seemingly unsurprised.

The thunderous sound inside the memorial sphere suddenly weakened, the frequency of the sphere's vibrations also decreased rapidly, and the light and shadow on the surface cracks gradually dissipated.

Clearly, it was Regigigas inside that realized the problem—it didn't want to anger this terrible human by bursting the Poké Ball.

So it began to frantically and desperately compress the remaining divine beast energy within its body in an almost "pitiful" way, binding it tightly and daring not to let it leak out in the slightest.

It's like a burly man having to cramp up in a stroller and carefully control his breathing so he doesn't break the stroller apart...

"Boom."

Finally, after a series of unsettling flashes of a faint light, the memorial ball stopped shaking completely, making a crisp locking sound, and the red light on the button stabilized and stopped flashing.

Successfully subdued...!

Using a free commemorative ball, I successfully caught a Master-level Electric-type Legendary Pokémon—Regiereki!

"Hahaha...Good! Good! Good!"

Zhang Leiyuan burst into laughter, saying "Good!" three times in a row. His laughter was so joyful that it echoed throughout the spirit world.

He bent down and picked up the seemingly ordinary but now incredibly heavy commemorative ball, weighing it in his hand with a look of pride and satisfaction in his eyes.

"This is truly a blessing in disguise! We searched high and low without finding it, only to have it come to us effortlessly!"

He looked at Zhang Heng, making no attempt to hide his excitement.

"With a little training, by developing a fighting rapport with it and becoming familiar with its power... hey, I believe I can even take down Old Duan in his prime!"

As Zhang Leiyuan said, this battle may rewrite the landscape of China's top combat power.

Zhang Leiyuan was already a champion who was famous in the region. Now he has successfully captured Reggie and become a newly promoted "Double Legendary Pokémon Trainer".

His individual strength and strategic position at the national level will undoubtedly elevate him to the ace level of China's champions, aiming for third place and striving for first or second!

More importantly, the addition of Reggie Ellech perfectly fills a key piece of his tactical system!

Zhang Leiyuan's core strategy has always been based on extreme "speed contrast" attacks.

Whether it's Mega Barioth, Mega Ampharos, or the yet-to-be-released Thunder Drum, they are all typical low-speed, high-power "turrets," perfectly suited for the "Trick Room" tactic, allowing them to strike first and crush everything in their path under Trick Room.

In addition, he also has a speed-boosting system centered around "Electric Terrain", such as the Alolan Raichu with the "Surf Tail" ability, which doubles its speed on Electric Terrain, as a surprise weapon.

However, the drawbacks of these two systems are also obvious: firstly, they rely on the opening and maintenance of the "trick space," making them easy to target or break.

Secondly, it relies on the laying of "electrical sites" and the acceleration units are relatively simple.

And now, we have Reginald!

Its unparalleled speed, which requires no additional conditions and is almost law-like, gives Zhang Leiyuan's tactical system an ultimate "natural speed" trump card!

Combat tactics will become more three-dimensional, flexible, and unpredictable, no longer overly reliant on the opening of space or venues.

High-speed guerrilla warfare, medium-speed field control, low-speed bombardment... his tactical options will be so numerous as to be despair-inducing!
