[[DP129|After this battle]], it is discovered that [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] has broken into [[Snowpoint Temple]] in an attempt to steal the {{p|Regigigas}} that lives there. According to legend, long ago, there had been a violent volcanic eruption that had turned the once-beautiful Snowpoint Forest into a sea of lava. Out of a bright blue light, {{p|Regigigas}} had appeared with the [[Legendary titans]] and the four had stopped the volcanic eruption, saving Snowpoint City. Afterwards, Regigigas had gone into a deep sleep in the Snowpoint Temple, protected by {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}, who had transformed into guardian pillars. In the episode, J is defeated but the temple is nearly destroyed in the battle. Brandon leaves his three titans behind as protectors and promises to rebuild the temple. | [[DP129|After this battle]], it is discovered that [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] has broken into [[Snowpoint Temple]] in an attempt to steal the {{p|Regigigas}} that lives there.
