That city had fallen spectacularly, the man had told him that if he got that Titan he would become stronger, and that had not been a lie.

The sheer unbridled power of the Rock, and Ice Titans was enough to make his own blood shiver in delight. He needed to fight them, he needed to fight that man.

However as he currently was he knew that he wasn't powerful enough to take on either of those creatures without incurring significant losses for insignificant gains.

He needed to get stronger.

That was why he was on the outskirts of this city adjacent to the ruined one, and he was training. His faithful Hound was squared up against its fiery counterpart, and the two of them clashed violently.

The battle was so intense that it was keeping the wild pokemon away, and Gaius merely watched. To fight tooth, and claw to give it your all. To put your life on the line. Only when your soul was in danger of shattering could it be galvanized.

Gaius needed to galvanize his own soul, and his pokemons so that he could properly fight that man. He had found two Apexes so far, he was sure that there were more, but they were the ones at the top that he wanted to devour for now.

If he found more, then he would add them to the list.
