Legacy stats and last target aquired
But that was beside the point.
Arcanine was alright and that was all that mattered right now.
"How are you, buddy?" Rex asked with a relieved look on his face.
(I've seen better days. But I'm alive so good.) Arcanine said with a laugh.
"Everyone, a round of applause for Arcanine, it was thanks to him that we were able to win this fight so fast," Rex announced while looking at the rest of the group.
"NOT YOU MACHAMP!" Rex shouted as he felt the ground move.
{Sorry.} Machamp said with an apologetic smile.
This caused everyone to laugh for a while.
>Rex, what about you're legacy?< Mordred asked causing the noise to die down.
"Oh that, it's pretty simple really. I can merge with Machamp and have a unique form. Apart from that, I can turn into my asura form which is incredibly powerful. I can also use the fear I induce on my opponents as sustenance to empower my strength. So overall, it's great." Rex said in a casual manner.
>How can you say that casually, that think made me fear for my life and you can essentially become him?< Mordred said with an exasperated look on his face.
"What do you want me to say. That's all there is too it. I'm pretty strong now. not as strong as you legacy holders but I should be able to take on other Pokémon.
They chatted for a while which involved Mordred reprimanding Rex for being so relaxed about this.
After a while, everyone relaxed more and began to chat freely. Rex took this time to check Machamp's stats.

Crush grip, Earthquake, Protect, Aura sphere, Poison Jab, stone edge, indomitable will, angel's shout, accelerated delay.
'Holy fuck those stats!' Rex exclaimed in his mind. He almost received a heart attack from seeing those numbers.
[what did you expect. Not only has Machamp been levelling up since you last checked at level 50, but he's also now got his full legacy. Although nothing has changed, those stats will continue to rise to uncontrollable levels. That is the power of Machamp. He has unlimited potential. He doesn't know hurdles; he doesn't know limits. So these stats are still weak compared to what he will become. A true god.
As for the abilities well you can guess them already.
Indomitable will cause the user to block all attacks directed at them for 10 seconds. It has a 3-minute cooldown between uses.
Angel's shout is simply demons shout but with light attribute. Meaning, it does the opposite. His shout now empowers allies with a 25% increase to all stats for 5 minutes. Has a 10-minute cooldown.
Accelerated delay is the move that slows down time but increases thinking speed. all movement for opponents is decreased by 95% as long as it's active. The user is not influenced by this rule. It has a 20-minute cooldown.]
'I see that makes sense. So we truly have reached the end of this battle and received the full legacy. On that topic, what would my merging with Machamp look like? Should I do it?' Rex asked.
[No! if you do, you may cause irreparable damage to hundreds of kilometres. This is not something you can use. Only use it when you have no other choice. It has immense consequences for the surrounding environment. So much so that it influences the laws that make up our world. Using it will attract Arceus's attention to us. Unless we are ready to meet him I suggest you never use this power.] Gaia warned in a severe down.
Rex was stunned for a moment. He had never heard Gaia be so serious before. And he never had a reason to not trust its words, so he put the whole merging with Machamp issue to the back of his mind. but not before warning Machamp about it.
The latter agreed that unless they had no way out they would not use this power. But a sort of excitement grew within them to try out this power. And their hunger for stronger opponents grew.
If anyone knew of their desire, they would have died from anger and injustice. How could they still hunger for stronger opponents with the strength they currently wielded?
Even Gaia could only sigh in exasperation and helplessness at the antics of the battle duo.
'So what now?' Rex asked.
[The Gym. you still need to complete the last badge. Although I doubt Giovanni will make you fight for it considering the power you now hold. I have also made sure that Elesa and her sisters are safe. Everything is in order. You can go back whenever you wish.] Gaia informed.
"That's good. I still need to get Mewtwo. He's my last partner. I guess I have no choice but to fight Giovanni." Rex mumbled.
[Why?] Gaia asked.
"Because I'll need to manipulate Mewtwo into escaping which will subsequently trigger that next sequence of events. I'll crash his party, beat him to a pulp a second time and convince him to join my team.
It's honestly annoying, but I can't just take him without showing him my strength. Then I need to let him go off and think to himself. That will prompt him to realise the big issue in his body. Once I beat him again, I'll use that as a bargaining chip to sway him to the dark- Ahem! To my side." Rex explained.
[I understand. It is a feasible option based on the memories you have of the movie and of Mewtwo's personality. He will crave power, and when he sees Machamp he will crave for it even more. I'm impressed.] Gaia praised.
"Thank you. I rarely get to use my brain for anything that isn't battle-related. So it's a good change of pace.
