[Artwork: Large [Ancient Statue] (Masterpiece) – Ancient City Style.]

[Description: A statue carved in the ancient style, depicting Calyrex riding the White Steed. Its sculpting and antique styling are so realistic they could be mistaken for the real thing. Made from Relic Stones from the Ancient City, it possesses strong artistry and authority, perfectly complementing the King’s appearance. It seems capable of storing the power of faith and connecting to the hearts of life.]

[Artwork Effect 1: Land of Abundance – Material output +100%.]

[Artwork Effect 2: Revitalization – Even barren lands can be guided to flourish with life.]

The statue’s effects were incredibly powerful. Hikaru pondered over the fact that these effects could be combined with the Giratina statue and the Light Stone, potentially reshaping even the most desolate lands!

Hikaru explained the statue’s effects to Calyrex and asked if he was satisfied. The response was a resounding yes!

Calyrex’s expression was filled with emotion:

『My friend, I must thank you once again! With this statue, my power can recover even faster! And with the power of this statue, it will be much easier to cultivate the Glorious Flower on this land!』

Hikaru: “Exactly. So, once we finish building the new structures, we’ll start the Glorious Flower cultivation experiment.”

“If we can successfully grow the Glorious Flowers in abundance, and place this statue within a sea of blooming Glorious Flowers, that scene would be breathtakingly beautiful.”

Hikaru’s description made Calyrex’s eyes sparkle with anticipation, drifting into a fantasy of the future.

A garden of Glorious Flowers… It would surely be revered as a miracle by both people and Pokémon alike.

『Good! I feel filled with strength now. Let us proceed with building the new structures!』

Calyrex thumped his small chest, his face full of confidence:

『I am quite skilled at building, you know! Have you heard of the giants of Galar? During my reign, powerful giants emerged and brought calamity to the ancient people. With my help, the ancient people sealed them away and built temples. Those sealing temples were constructed with my power as well.』

The giants who once brought disaster to the ancient people were the Five Legendary Giants sealed away in the Crown Tundra. Unlike the giants of other regions, the Galarian giants seemed to have had poor relations with the local people.

The records about Regieleki stated that its power was so overwhelming that it brought calamity to people, so they fitted it with binding rings to limit its energy. Supposedly, releasing those rings would unleash its hidden, formidable power.

Similarly, the lore about the Dragon-type Giant, Regidrago, mentioned that the ancient people feared if its entire body was ever completed, their nation would be destroyed. Therefore, they sealed it away in the depths of a temple.

Hikaru: “Unlike the giant legends from other regions, the Galarian giants don’t sound very friendly.”

Upon hearing the words “other giants,” Calyrex was momentarily startled and then grew curious:

『You said… other giants?』

Hikaru: “Yes, legendary giants exist in various regions around the world. And depending on their environment and habitat, their personalities differ greatly. There are giants in the Sinnoh region as well, and some of them are my friends.”

“They were likely created by Regigigas to help the ancient life forms of various regions. Some of the giants even have important missions, such as guarding certain crucial things to prevent foreign invasion. I do know a bit about Galar’s temple legends, but I never expected it was you who sealed them!”

『Sealing them was rather simple. It seems their unrest was due to the disappearance of their creator, the King of Giants, which caused them to become restless and conflict with the humans I ruled over.』

『As for the reason for the conflict, I have already forgotten. It was far too long ago.』

Calyrex recalled those giants. Their era of creation actually predated his own emergence. Originally, the giants and humans coexisted peacefully. But at some point, conflicts arose, and humans, unable to resist the giants’ power and fearing for their survival, sought Calyrex’s help.

『I never imagined that giants existed all over the world… So, their origins have such a secret behind them. This is truly eye-opening.』

Hikaru wasn’t particularly surprised by the conflict between the King and the giants. While the game’s plot never explicitly stated it, it was already odd enough that Calyrex made no comments about the various ruins scattered across the Crown Tundra. After all, those temples were situated on “his kingdom’s” land.

But if Calyrex himself had constructed those temples, then everything made sense! And it just so happened that Calyrex had control over “Sealing” techniques!

Hikaru: “King, the buildings you construct won’t have sealing effects, will they?” Hikaru asked suspiciously, glancing at Calyrex. Calyrex’s bunny-like face turned red:

『N-No, absolutely not! My power is far too weak to create buildings with sealing effects. My friend, you have nothing to worry about.』

As if eager to prove his own weakness, Calyrex widened his round eyes and began using Psychic to pile the stones together. After stacking them with his psychic power, the gaps between the stones became seamlessly connected and merged into one!

『How’s this? With my psychic abilities, I can make the stones bind together and form sturdy walls!』

Calyrex wiggled his nose and closed his eyes, looking quite pleased with himself!

Even though he was weak, he was still strong!

Huff… This is tiring, but for the sake of appearances, he couldn’t show it. After all, he was a King. Gasping for breath multiple times was unacceptable!

Ugh, his head felt so heavy!

Hikaru: “It’s true, psychic power is indeed convenient. I’ve probably said this countless times already. Oh, by the way…” Hikaru looked at the sturdy wall and suddenly thought of something. Why not use the three construction-related crafts he had at his disposal to build a small “Architectural Structure” as practice before restoring the Rock Mountain Ruins?

“Well then, King, I’ll be counting on your help. But I’d like to make a few adjustments to the construction method.”

“Relic Carving, Ancient Architecture, Environmental Sculpture.” Hikaru pulled out the necessary tools from his backpack, took a few deep breaths, and then began working on the stone walls with incredible speed. At the same time, he instructed Calyrex where to place specific stone materials.

At first, Calyrex was puzzled by Hikaru’s instructions. But soon, as Hikaru demonstrated his techniques, Calyrex’s round eyes widened once more!

『W-What are you building?』

Hikaru: “An ancient building, I suppose. Using a unique combination of three crafts to recreate an ancient style that can soothe Pokémon’s anger and create an environment suitable for them to live in.”

“Even if this building never existed before, once I build it, it will stand upon this world, and it will continue to do so… Until it becomes a true legend.”
