Chapter 548: Out of Control, Giratina!
Chapter 548: Out of Control, Giratina!
The three members of Team Rocket heaved a sigh of relief.
"Looks like Giratina isn't as scary as the legends make it out to be, meow!" Meowth said, watching as Giratina flew away.
"Now that we've seen Giratina here, does that mean this is Giratina's Reverse World?" Cilan asked.
"I suppose so." Musashi replied, "Now, the real question is how we're going to get out of this place!"
Meowth, however, had something else on his mind. "Such a powerful Pokemon, do you think the boss would want to catch it, meow?"
"Probably not. And if I remember correctly, Giratina belongs to that masked guy on the motorcycle. His abilities are probably not limited to just this."
Cilan calmly thought for a moment before continuing, "From what I know of the boss, he's more likely to try and befriend Giratina rather than make an enemy of it."
"Meow," Meowth nodded in agreement. After all, it was someone who stopped the battle between Groudon and Kyogre. If they angered it, who knows what retaliation they might face.
Musashi, standing behind them, clenched her fists in frustration, grabbing Meowth by the scruff of his neck and yanking on Cilan's collar. "Hey, you two! Figure out a way to get us out of here, now!"
Naoki's Ranch, 1:00 pm.
After returning from the Bountiful Shrine on the back mountain, Professor Oak took the children to Naoki's Wooloo Ranch to observe the Wooloo habitat.
Naoki stayed in the living room, trying to get an update on Giratina's situation through the Rotom Phone.
[Ethan : Rotom, what's the situation?]
Hiding in the crevices of Giratina's shell, Rotom was trembling with anxiety.
Upon seeing Ethan's message, it immediately replied using Giratina's account.
[Giratina: Giratina isn't looking at the phone, Rotom!]
[Ethan: What is it doing?]
[Giratina: I don't know, but it seems Giratina can't get out, Rotom!]
[Giratina: I see it flying around frantically, as if searching for something, Rotom!]
Reading these messages, Ethan quickly realized what was happening.
It had to be Celebi! Celebi's Seed Flash could break through Dialga's power restriction and open the entrance from the Reverse World to the real world!
The Celebi from that movie was unique; it could communicate directly with humans using telepathy and had a proud and arrogant personality, making it quite tsundere.
Especially when it came to bossing people around... Ash had teased it a few times, and Celebi hadn't forgotten.
It loved riding on Ash's head, making Ash feel bothered by its presence.
But all of that was just Celebi's facade.
Ethan clearly remembered the ending of that movie, where Celebi admitted to Ash that it had never truly hated him and was very grateful for everything he and his friends had done.
Speaking of Ash! All he needed to do was contact Ash and hint that Giratina meant no harm and only wanted to use Celebi's Seed Flash to break free from Dialga's seal!
However, he didn't seem to have Ash's phone number...
It had been a year since Ethan last saw Ash.
Back then, Giratina had just awakened from its slumber, and Ash and his friends, guided by the Adventure Corps, had brought Giratina to the ranch.
Although Ash had called once to inquire about Giratina's condition, he had used the Pokemon Center's video phone to do so.
Ash didn't seem to use a Rotom Phone... His Rotom Phone had been given to him by Professor Sakaki during his journey.
Coincidentally, Shigeru walked in from outside. He intended to borrow some Pokemon medicine from Mr. Naoki to treat the injured Pokemon from the battle.
Hearing Shigeru's request, Naoki stood up and handed him a few bottles of MooMoo Milk, saying, "It's a specialty of the ranch. It's more effective than regular Potions. Take it!"
Moomoo Milk? Shigeru thought. That fresh milk produced by the large dairy cows did indeed have a restorative effect on Pokemon.
He thanked Naoki and turned to leave when he suddenly noticed the furrowed brow and thoughtful expression on Naoki's face.
Shigeru stopped and asked, "Is something troubling you, Naoki?"
"No!" Naoki turned to Shigeru and suddenly realized he might be able to get Ash's phone number from him. "By the way, Shigeru, you're also a trainer from Pallet Town, right?"
Shigeru nodded. "Yes, but how did you know that?"
"Because I've met another trainer from Pallet Town before!" Naoki said with a smile. "His name is Ash Ketchum. You must know him, right?"
"
"Ash... So it was that guy!"
Shigeru nodded. "Of course. He and I left Pallet Town together several years ago to embark on our journeys."
"Haha, what are you two talking about?" At that moment, Professor Oak walked in from outside. He had intended to check on Shigeru's absence but overheard the mention of Ash's name.
Naoki was about to reply when Professor Oak's Rotom Phone suddenly rang.
"Oh? Wait, I'll take this call!" Professor Oak answered the call on his Rotom Phone.
Immediately, Ash's face appeared on the screen.
Seeing Ash, Professor Oak looked delighted. "Ash! Have you arrived at the Pokemon Center nearby?"
"Yes, Professor Oak. I have something to report to you." Ash nodded.
Just as he was about to inform Professor Oak about the gratitude Pokemon, Cerez, he suddenly noticed Shigeru and Naoki behind him.
Ash paused, surprised. "Shigeru? And Mr. Naoki? What are you two doing there?"
"Haha!" Professor Oak laughed. "We're currently in the Unova region, with me and Shigeru leading a summer camp at Naoki's ranch."
Naoki: "..." What a coincidence.
"I see!" Ash exclaimed, then continued, "By the way, Professor Oak, something happened today."
Ash turned to the side, and the next moment, Iris appeared on the screen, holding Cerez in her arms.
Seeing the Pokemon, Professor Oak was taken aback. "That Pokemon, is it the gratitude Pokemon, Cerez?"
"Yes, it is."
Ash hummed in acknowledgment, then slowly began to recount the day's events to Professor Oak.
He told him about encountering Cerez, being sucked into the Reverse World by Giratina, and meeting a man named Mu Xuan, who helped them escape back to the real world.
"Yeah, I almost got eaten!" Cerez, nestled in Iris's arms, looked back on the experience with fear.
"Hmm?" Hearing this, Professor Oak frowned.
Giratina... wanted to eat Cerez?
Could there be some sort of unknown food chain between these two Pokemon?
But that didn't seem right!
As far as he knew, legendary Pokemon like Giratina didn't need to eat, and they wouldn't harm other Pokemon.
In the last hundred years, there had been no reported incidents of Giratina preying on Cerez.
"By the way, Mr. Mu Xuan also told us something..." Ash continued, "He said that the battle between Dialga and Palkia in Aspen Town affected Giratina, making it angry. So it was tracking Dialga, intending to pull it into the Reverse World."
"But Cerez interfered, causing Dialga to escape from the Reverse World, and then Giratina started chasing Cerez."
Naoki: "..." Damn, chasing after Cerez!
While Giratina did have a bad temper, it seemed excessive to chase after such a weak Pokemon.
Naoki then recalled his first encounter with Giratina, when it had bombarded him for over half an hour, and he thought that perhaps it wasn't impossible.
"Was the Reverse World also affected by Dialga and Palkia's battle?" Professor Oak mused, finding the relationship between the two worlds intriguing.
Naoki seized the opportunity to ask, "By the way, Ash, you mentioned that when Dialga used its power, Giratina couldn't leave the Reverse World, right?"
"Yes!" Ash nodded.
"I think I might know why Giratina was chasing after Cerez." Naoki revealed the truth.
Ash paused, slightly taken aback. "What is it?"
"You just said that Dialga escaped from the Reverse World because of Cerez, and when it left, it used its power to seal the Reverse World, trapping Giratina inside." Naoki explained.
"Yes, that's what happened." Ash nodded.
"So, is it possible that Cerez has the ability to open a passage from the Reverse World to the real world, and Giratina saw Cerez open the passage for Dialga to escape, which is why it wanted to find Cerez and have it use some sort of move to free it from Dialga's seal?" Naoki hypothesized.
Hearing this possibility, everyone present was slightly stunned.
Ash, Iris, and Cilan looked down at Cerez.
And Cerez sank into its memories.
After a while, it spoke up, "Mii used Seed Flash back then because I was so scared!"
"Yes, that's it!" Naoki exclaimed.
Cerez realized, "So, if I use Seed Flash again, Giratina won't eat me, right?"
Naoki: "..." Giratina probably wouldn't eat Cerez; it was likely focused on finding Dialga and Palkia to take revenge.
"So that's what happened!" Dawn realized, recalling how Giratina had refrained from attacking them despite having the chance earlier.
"In that case, let's go find Giratina and use Seed Flash to help it break free from the seal!" Ash decided.
"Hmm, if we release Giratina, it will probably continue its pursuit of Dialga and Palkia..." Professor Oak mused. "However, those two Legendary Pokemon have likely returned to their respective dimensions, so even if we lift the seal on the Reverse World, it shouldn't be a problem. Go ahead, Ash!"
"Yes!"
Having figured out the truth behind Giratina's pursuit of Cerez, Ash and the others were delighted.
Ash ended the call and prepared to set out with Cerez to find Giratina and help it break free from the seal imposed by Dialga.
Seeing this, Naoki thought that things should turn out fine now.
Mallow and Professor Oak returned to the children with the MooMoo Milk.
Meanwhile, Shigeru stayed in the room for a while longer. After about ten minutes, he left the room, wearing Motor Lizard's mask and accompanied by a few Pokemon.
Pretending that he was going out to make a delivery, he bid farewell to Professor Oak and drove off in his pickup truck.
After parking his truck in a parking lot in Sunyshore City, Shigeru rode on Garchomp and soared into the sky, intending to enter the Reverse World through the passage left by Giratina on the World Tree.
However, just as he landed, Mewtwo appeared before him using Teleport.
"Is it time?" Mewtwo's deep voice echoed in Shigeru's mind.
Shigeru was taken aback for a moment before he understood Mewtwo's intention. He shook his head and said, "Not yet. I'm going to save Giratina first."
Hearing this, a question mark appeared in Mewtwo's mind.
"Giratina? Is it in trouble?"
Meanwhile, in a town nestled among the mountains of the Sinnoh region.
Ash and the others were walking down the street with Cerez, pondering how to find Giratina. Suddenly, a purple portal appeared on a nearby mirror, and a tornado emerged, sweeping them into that peculiar realm once more.
"It's that feeling again! Giratina has appeared!" Ash's heart raced as he recognized the sensation. Sure enough, as they landed, they saw Giratina's massive body floating in the air, its blood-red eyes fixed on them.
"I'm a little scared..." Cerez began to shiver.
"Don't worry." Dawn reassured Cerez, soothing her fears.
Ash stood up bravely and locked eyes with Giratina, shouting, "Giratina, we know you're trapped here! We're here to help you break free from the seal Dialga put on you!"
Giratina, who had expected them to keep running, paused momentarily.
Seeing that Giratina didn't attack, Ash and the others breathed a sigh of relief. "Cerez, it's up to you now!" Ash turned to Cerez. "Use Seed Flash!"
Cerez, trembling with fear, looked up at Giratina and saw that the fierce Pokemon didn't seem to have any intention of eating her. Mustering her courage, she said, "I... I'll help now!"
Dawn couldn't help but chuckle at Cerez's cuteness. She gently patted Cerez's head and encouraged her, "Go for it!"
Cerez jumped out of Dawn's arms and tensed her body, concentrating.
Soon, a power surged from within Cerez, transforming into a dazzling light that burst forth.
At the same time, high in the skies of the real world, a massive spaceship slowly drifted among the clouds.
Onboard, a white-haired man narrowed his eyes as he observed the display on the monitoring instrument before him.
"Interesting. That Cerez is actually helping Giratina break free from Dialga's seal?"
Watching the field fluctuations on the Reverse World observation chart, Jellal knew that Giratina was about to enter the real world.
"Perfect. That will save me some trouble." Jellal smiled and confidently ordered, "Invel, prepare to initiate the capture plan!"
The next moment, a feminine figure, an artificial intelligence program, appeared and responded, "Acknowledged. The device is preparing... Preparation complete. Capture will commence when Giratina enters the real world."
Jellal's lips curled upward. "The Reverse World will soon be mine alone. I will become the ruler of the Reverse World!"
In the Reverse World, under the influence of Cerez's powerful Seed Flash, a vortex leading to the real world burst open.
