Regigigigas breaks free, so Brandoon has his Regis attack it so he can capture it and calm it. They eventually succeed it taking it down, but J swoops in and-- and gets her ass kicked when Brandon's Regis attack her when Regigigigas uses confuse ray on them. Maria notes that this is just like the legend of the pillars protecting Regigigigigigigas, only now it’s Brandon’s Regis and they’re actually, you know, protecting it, instead of doing nothing except letting J attack themselves. The four of them, angry and confused, attack things randomly, so the heroes go back to the hovercraft and follow while J escapes. Brandon calls Officer Jenny and tells her to be ready for Regigigigigigas, because Jennyy’s Growlithe is definitely a match for four monsters of legend that shoot death rays out of their hands as long as it has prep time.
Meanwhile, J has her hovership restrain Regigigigigas with lasers and glue, but the ship is damaged. J shoots a flesh-to-stone beam at the immobilized Regigigigigas, but Regirock takes the hit and... turns to stone. Huh. Again with Registeel and Regice. Brandon realizes that the Regis going with it was all to protect Regigigigas (duh), and tells Brock to take the controls of his hovercraft (because a fiteen year-old even knows how to drive a car, right?), and throws himself into one of J's flesh-to-stone beams. Seeing this finally calms Regigigigigas down, and the heroes have Pikachu and Piplup distract J for just long enough for Regigigigas to break free and destroy J's flesh-to-stone gun.
J is ready to fight some more, but her clients get scared by the commotion and retract their offer, so J just kind of leaves. That was a cool way to end J’s appearances the first, like, three times, but now it’s just kind of annoying.
Maria asks Regigigigas to help the stoned Regis and Brandon because they did the best they could to protect it, so it uses hidden power to fix everyone (?!?). Regigigigigigigigas turns into a sphere again just like that, and Brandon takes it, telling it to "trust your future to me." Wow, that's... some request. Brandon places the sphere back in the temple, agrees to fix the temple, and has his pokemon become the new pillars, which seems like the worst deal ever if you don’t feel like becoming an inanimate pillar.
Overall, a meh episode. A strong villain is counterbalanced by ridiculousness even by Pokemon’s standards and constant insanity.
