Chapter 425: An Unknown Move, Sirona's Visit
Chapter 425: An Unknown Move, Sirona's Visit
"Clefairy, a Fairy-type Pokemon."
With pink fur and a star-shaped body, it had a small pair of wings on its back. If it evolved into a Clefable, those wings would become much larger.
Before the battle began, Professor Oak observed the Clefairy with great interest.
Perhaps out of habit, he chuckled and said, "It's a Clefairy! This Pokemon is quite rare indeed!"
Clefairy Pokemon usually lived peacefully with their companions in the quiet depths of the mountains, rarely appearing before humans. Only during the mysterious full moon nights would they emerge in large numbers to dance under the moonlight.
"That's right! I'm so glad to have met a Clefairy!" Ruby nodded, happy to have encountered this Pokemon.
Hearing its trainer's words, the Clefairy let out a cheerful cry.
"Pi pi~!"
"Hahaha! It seems to like you a lot!" Professor Oak laughed heartily and asked, "So, are you both ready to begin the battle?"
Ruby and her Clefairy nodded seriously, their eyes locking with those of their opponents, Straight Tree and Frost Fairy, filled with determination to win.
"You're both looking spirited!" Straight Tree commented with a smile. Indeed, many people in the Pokemon world exuded positive energy and enthusiasm.
"This battle will be a 1v1 match between Clefairy and Frost Fairy," explained Professor Oak briefly. "The only move allowed during the battle is 'Move your Finger', and it will continue until one of the Pokemon loses its fighting ability."
Seeing that both sides were ready, he raised his hand high and then brought it down with a flourish. "Let the battle begin!"
"Clefairy, use Move your Finger!" Ruby commanded.
"Frost Fairy, let's go!" Straight Tree instructed his Pokemon.
The next second, both Pokemon on the field moved their fingers in unison.
Brilliant light enveloped their fingers, and after a moment, the move was completed, and both Pokemon had successfully chosen their techniques.
What would they be? Professor Oak watched with anticipation, eager to see what moves they had selected.
The first to act was Frost Fairy. Behind it, a beautiful moon disc appeared, surrounded by floating stardust, creating an ethereal universe that exuded mystery.
The soft moonlight and starlight merged and bathed Frost Fairy, infusing it with power.
"It's Cosmic Power!" Professor Oak immediately recognized the move.
Cosmic Power boosted a Pokemon's defense, and using it at the start of the battle was a smart move. This Frost Fairy seemed to have good luck on its side!
Now, what about Clefairy? Professor Oak turned his attention to the pink Pokemon and saw green leaves gathering around it.
Leaf Blade!
A Grass-type move, it could be quite effective if all the strikes landed. The rapid Leaf Blades hit Frost Fairy, but thanks to the protection of Cosmic Power, they didn't cause significant damage.
The first round ended, and the second round officially began!
"Frost Fairy, use Move your Finger again!" Straight Tree instructed.
"Mama!" Frost Fairy responded.
Ruby wasn't about to back down. "Clefairy, let's do it again!"
"Pi pi~!" Clefairy was eager to continue.
The two Pokemon locked eyes, their gazes sparking with intensity.
They moved their fingers once more.
This time, Clefairy was the first to unleash its move.
Countless bubbles filled the air as Clefairy blew them forcefully toward Frost Fairy.
"It's Bubble Beam, isn't it?" Professor Oak nodded, impressed by Clefairy's luck in choosing effective moves.
Both moves used so far were offensive, and if this pattern continued, Frost Fairy might be the first to falter. However, the next second, Professor Oak noticed something unusual happening with Frost Fairy.
Just as the bubbles were about to hit Frost Fairy, it suddenly released a surge of powerful energy.
The energy exploded outward, forming a milky-white light sphere that enveloped Frost Fairy within its protective barrier.
The bubbles struck the light sphere, and for some reason, those fragile bubbles instantly shattered and disappeared into the radiant light!
What...what move was that?!
Professor Oak stared intently at Frost Fairy, wondering if it was using a Fighting-type move like Bullet Punch or a Psychic-type move like Light Screen.
"Mamaaaaa!" Frost Fairy seemed to be pushing itself to its limit.
The next second, the light sphere flew out from its body and soared straight up into the sky, hovering high above.
Even Straight Tree was taken aback by this unexpected development, unsure what move Frost Fairy had just performed.
Accompanied by a dazzling flash of light, countless energy orbs shot out from the light sphere, resembling a dazzling display of fireworks that rained down on everything below.
"BOOM!"
The energy orbs slammed into the battlefield, creating a massive crater.
It was like a meteor shower, and the opposing Clefairy sensed the danger, scurrying about in panic, trying to dodge the onslaught.
However, this move was divine retribution, and the sheer scale of the attack made it impossible for Clefairy to escape.
Witnessing Frost Fairy's unknown move, Professor Oak was left stunned.
What a terrifying display of power! Just what move was that?!
"Sanction Light Blast," Straight Tree muttered, recognizing the move.
An exclusive move of the legendary creator deity, Arceus. It sanctioned enemies by releasing countless energy orbs akin to meteorites.
Who would have thought Frost Fairy would use this move...
Straight Tree was equally astonished by its power.
Meanwhile, unnoticed, one of the energy orbs fell into the ranch's lake, passing through a portal opened by Giratina, leading to the Reverse World.
Giratina, who had been listening to Rotom's commentary with its eyes closed, suddenly sensed the presence of Arceus.
It jolted awake, its scarlet eyes widening as it stared upwards.
The next second, Giratina's massive form burst through the lake's surface, which resembled a mirror.
Just as Professor Oak was recovering from his shock, about to declare Clefairy unable to battle and end the match, his eyes caught sight of a terrifying figure emerging from the lake.
Professor Oak: "!!!"
That majestic stance, those blood-red eyes, and that ruthless expression... That Pokemon was...
The legendary Giratina! Professor Oak instantly recognized it, having seen its selfie on the Pokemon Forum before.
"Oh my..." Professor Oak drew in a sharp breath, astonished by Giratina's unexpected appearance.
No! He should've anticipated this!
Suddenly, Professor Oak realized something.
Giratina had mentioned being friends with Regigigas, and Regigigas had learned to use the Rotom Phone from Straight Tree.
Therefore, it stood to reason that Giratina, who could also use the Rotom Phone to browse the internet, belonged to Straight Tree as well!
Not only Professor Oak, but Lulu was also astonished by the sudden appearance of this Pokemon.
Giratina, on the other hand, was warily scanning its surroundings.
It had sensed Arceus' presence and emerged, but now... where was Arceus?
Giratina's gaze swept over the humans before finally settling on Straight Tree.
Straight Tree couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed.
He hadn't expected Frost Fairy's Sanction Light Blast to startle Giratina into appearing.
Giratina must have thought that Arceus had descended just now.
Not finding any trace of Arceus, Giratina realized its mistake.
It glanced at the humans below before turning and diving back into the lake.
Professor Oak and Lulu stared, dumbfounded, at the direction Giratina had disappeared in.
After a long moment, Professor Oak found his voice. "Was that... Giratina just now?"
Straight Tree: "...Yes."
"This is truly unbelievable!" Professor Oak exclaimed, turning to Straight Tree. "First Regigigas, now Giratina, not to mention all those Dratinis and rare Pokemon you've captured... You're an incredible Trainer!"
Noticing Professor Oak's gaze, Straight Tree reluctantly explained, "Actually, Giratina isn't my Pokemon. We're just friends."
Straight Tree waved to his brother, Ai Guan Shi, who was standing at a distance.
Ai Guan Shi brought over a bottle of Life Sheep Milk and fed it to the Clefairy.
Soon, the Clefairy opened its eyes.
"I'm sorry, but you didn't pass Frost Fairy's 'Move Your Finger' trial," Straight Tree said, shifting the topic back to the trial.
Lulu finally snapped out of her daze, recalling the incredible move Frost Fairy had used earlier. "Mr. Straight Tree, what move was that earlier?"
"To be honest, I'm not entirely sure myself," Straight Tree replied. "There are still many Pokemon and moves in this world that humans haven't discovered yet. Perhaps that move belongs to one of those undiscovered Pokemon?"
"Is that so?" Lulu murmured. "I see!"
Lulu looked deeply at Straight Tree.
Just as the school forum had described, Mr. Straight Tree was indeed a Trainer with unfathomable strength!
Not only had he nurtured so many Champion Pokemon, but he had also become friends with the legendary Pokemon, Giratina.
Perhaps even the Chief Champion wouldn't be a match for him! At that moment, Lulu fully understood why the forum users referred to Straight Tree as the hidden boss of the Pasio region.
In the afternoon, Lulu left the ranch, stating that she would return to challenge the official trial once she had obtained six badges.
As Straight Tree watched her figure disappear into the distance, he turned to head back to the ranch to repair the grass damaged by Frost Fairy's Sanction Light Blast. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out from behind him.
"Excuse me, is this the Straight Tree Ranch?"
Straight Tree and Professor Oak turned to see a tall woman with golden hair, dressed in a black coat, standing at a distance with a smile on her face.
Sirona greeted Professor Oak with a gentle tone, "It's been a while, Professor Oak. I came here because I have some matters I wish to discuss with this trainer."
As she spoke, Sirona turned her gaze towards Naoki, her demeanor warm and approachable, devoid of the aloofness one might expect from a beautiful, elegant woman.
Naoki: "..."
Without a doubt, he had guessed the reason for Sirona's visit to the ranch.
She must have investigated the incident where Giratina traveled through the internet to the Sinnoh region and his involvement in stopping its actions.
Sirona's visit was undoubtedly prompted by her desire to learn more about Giratina.
Naoki looked up and saw that both Sirona and Professor Oak were staring at him.
"..."
Well, seeing Professor Oak's curious expression, he must also be eager to learn about Giratina.
Since that was the case, Naoki decided to take this opportunity to share the legend of Giratina with both of them.
Naoki invited the two to the living room of his home.
Reina was not currently in the living room, probably sunbathing in the garden.
Sirona and Professor Oak sat on the sofa, and his sister, Ai Guan Shi, served them tea.
"Giratina..." Naoki uttered the Pokemon's name and then paused, organizing his thoughts and deciding where to begin.
Hearing this, Sirona paused, a hint of surprise flashing across her face, which was usually as expressionless as an iceberg.
"Do you know why I'm here, Mr. Naoki?"
Naoki smiled faintly, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have discovered the connection between Giratina and me, which brought you to the Pasio region. You want to learn more about it, right?"
After all, whether it was in the games or the anime, Sirona's character was always depicted as having a deep interest in mythology and history, often engrossed in researching ancient ruins and legends.
"Then I'm counting on you!" Sirona replied politely.
Meanwhile, Professor Oak, beside her, was already brimming with anticipation.
Noticing his eagerness, Naoki asked, "Do you two know about genes?"
"Genes?"
Both Sirona and Professor Oak were taken aback.
As a scholar who studied Pokemon, Professor Oak had some understanding of this concept.
For example, the fossil resurrection technique involved extracting the genes of ancient Pokemon to bring them back to life.
"Humans and Pokemon all have genes. They are also known as the blueprints of life. The essence of genes is DNA, which contains opposite information, forming a shape like two intertwined, spiraling chains," Naoki explained slowly.
He recalled how Team Galaxy's leader, Cyrus, had used this principle to create the Red Chain and control Dialga and Palkia.
"Even if one end of the chain-like blueprint is damaged, it can be restored to its original shape by replicating the other end. Do you understand what I'm trying to convey?" Naoki asked.
Professor Oak looked thoughtful, and Sirona also wore an expression of contemplation.
"Time flows in the real world, and the spatial structure tends to be stable. But on the reverse side of the world, there is no flow of time, and space is unstable. Only Giratina exists there."
Hearing this, Professor Oak immediately grasped Naoki's meaning.
He exclaimed in surprise, "So, you mean that world and the one we live in are like the genes of living beings, supporting each other to prevent their disappearance?"
Naoki nodded, "Yes. Just as Dialga is the embodiment of time and Palkia is the embodiment of space, Giratina is the embodiment of the reverse world. It controls the entire reverse world. The two worlds are intertwined and interdependent. If one world encounters a problem, the other will also be affected."
He recalled the events of the movie "Giratina and the Sky's Bouquet of Flowers," where the destruction of glaciers in the real world had caused a similar collapse in the reverse world.
"Is that how it is?" Sirona mused.
The mural in the Hall of Origin contained vague records related to this information.
Above Dialga and Palkia, there seemed to be another Pokemon depicted.
Was that Pokemon Giratina?
No... As she recalled the contents of the mural, Sirona realized that the Giratina Naoki described did not match the Pokemon in the mural.
Could this imply the existence of another Pokemon above Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina?
Noting their reactions, Naoki added,
"This information is based on my investigations into the reverse world and Giratina. It's just my speculation, and the truth may be different."
Sirona snapped out of her reverie and thanked Naoki, "Regardless, I appreciate the information you've provided."
