Giratina, one of the three dragons of time and space, controls a special dimension outside of time and space and represents unique antimatter.
In the myths of the Pokémon timeline, Giratina was exiled in ancient times for destroying a world, and even in myths, it is portrayed as an aggressive Pokémon.
However, the truth may differ somewhat. Giratina is similar to Rayquaza in certain respects, merely patrolling within its own dimension.
In the Pokémon world, a great collapse in the real world would affect the Reverse World as well. Giratina is more like an extradimensional inspector who only appears when its own territory is disturbed.
Much like how Rayquaza usually shows up to beat up Groudon and Kyogre, Giratina’s appearance is most likely also related to Palkia and Dialga. Typically, it is their battles that disturb Giratina in the Reverse World and force it to emerge.
The three dragons of time and space share certain similarities with Arceus’s true form and are, in theory, the Pokémon most closely related to him, like a firstborn with purer blood.
However, when faced with an enraged and irrational Arceus, the three of them are still able to remain clear-headed, using a very “filial” approach to try to dissuade him.
The Giratina created at this moment is not the same Giratina that was once exiled. They are similar yet different, connected yet not the same individual. In short, it is an entirely new Giratina.
The disturbance that had just been triggered by the underworld’s consciousness began to subside with Giratina at its center. The icy springs erupting from beneath the underworld started to flow backward, and before long, these icy springs, which were like magma to underworld creatures, returned to the depths of the underworld.
The Spooky Plate had remained in the underworld for far too long, and with the underworld’s consciousness attempting to absorb the power within it, the Spooky Plate had come to exert an extremely deep influence over the underworld.
Giratina, born from the combined power of the Spooky Plate and the Draco Plate that had just been brought over, became the temporary wielder of this plate aside from Arceus himself.
Compared to the underworld’s consciousness, which could only make use of power leaking outward, Giratina was now able to truly wield the power within the plate. Thus, from the moment of its birth, it had already taken over this underworld.
The underworld’s consciousness was an existence born from the underworld itself, but at this moment, control over this underworld no longer belonged to the underworld.
“No… impossible! What is this? What are you, exactly?! How can you living beings accomplish something like this?!”
With his objective already achieved, Darkrai dispelled the Dark Void that had been restricting the underworld’s consciousness. As the Dark Void faded, the underworld’s consciousness believed it could once again regain control of the underworld.
But the underworld, which moments ago had responded as easily as an extension of its own limbs, had already changed. The underworld’s consciousness could feel that not only the power of the Spooky Plate, but even the underworld that truly belonged to it, was gradually being stripped away by the other party.
Coupled with Giratina’s distinctive yellow crown, the underworld consciousness felt as if it was seeing a “blondie.” How was this not another form of N behavior? [TN: The word used here for blondie can also mean NTR.]
The underworld’s consciousness still retained its own power. Although, because of Giratina, it was gradually losing control over the underworld, it had not lost everything. Things at close range were still within its ability to manipulate.
There had been far too many eruptions of icy springs earlier. Although they were gradually receding, a large amount of underworld’s icy water still remained.
“I am the true lord of the underworld!”
The surrounding springs were gathered into its hands under the control of underworld power, the streams of water exuding chill of the underworld, which seemingly became its final reliance.
“Baptism of the Underworld!”
There was no flashy form. The water of the icy spring simply spiraled forward toward Giratina, while Giratina made an even more direct choice.
It neither dodged nor counterattacked, but instead walked straight into the attack released by the underworld consciousness.
Seeing that Giratina had no intention of evading, the underworld consciousness felt no joy at landing the hit, only anger at being looked down upon.
For countless years in the underworld, it had been the sole king here. No matter how powerful someone had been in life, once they turned into a soul and came here, they were never its match.
It wasn’t that it himself was overwhelmingly strong, but rather the rules of this world. It was the representative of the underworld, wielding absolute suppression over all other underworld beings.
The dead could not resist it, and the living could not touch it. Although the underworld consciousness had no right to interfere with the world of the living, in this Land of the Dead, it had long become arrogant.
Especially after seeing Giratina struck, its body beginning to freeze and its massive form being completely sealed in ice, it let out a scornful laugh.
“So this is what you wanted? This is Ice Breath from the depths of the underworld. Neither the living nor the dead can endure it. You’ll just become the new landmark of the underworld like this. What’s mine will always be mine!”
As it spoke, the underworld consciousness spread its arms, attempting to reclaim control over everything in the underworld.
But as it tried to do so, it found that Darkrai showed no panic at all. There was even a hint of mockery in his eyes. Only then did it realize that it could not take back authority over the underworld. It was still slipping farther and farther away from it.
Turning back, it saw that the Giratina who had just been frozen solid by the underworld’s Ice Breath had already regained its freedom. The icy springs from the depths of the underworld had failed to cause any effect at all, instead making Giratina’s skin appear even more sleek.
An attack meant to cleanse life had become nothing more than a simple washing.
“Greed is the greatest original sin. To lay hands on the possession of the Father God is unforgivable.”
Blue flames emerged from Giratina’s body and eventually condensed into a fireball before it. As Giratina slightly opened its mouth, a Dragon Breath was released.
Dragon Breath surged forward, engulfing the ghostly flames ahead. Seeing this, the underworld consciousness once again whipped up the waters of the underworld in an attempt to counterattack, but the icy springs of this dark realm were incinerated the instant they made contact, failing to offer even the slightest hindrance.
Giratina’s fiery Dragon Breath struck the body of the underworld consciousness directly.
Ghostly flames burned its body, and the Dragon Breath shattered its energy core. At that moment, a shrill roar echoed in the minds of all underworld beings. Not far away, Kuina clutched her head and curled up on the ground. The impact on her was anything but small.
At that same instant, Giratina vanished from the underworld. Enduring the pain of being scorched by ghostly flames, the lord of the underworld tried to locate Giratina, only for Giratina’s figure to burst directly out from its own body.
Under the bewildered gaze of the underworld consciousness, Giratina conveyed a signal that signified the end.
Ghostly energy wrapped around Giratina’s body as a ghostly claw pierced straight through the body of the underworld consciousness. Giratina’s Shadow Force, a signature move that even Protect cannot defend against, was virtually guaranteed to hit.
This was the special dimension Giratina could control. Originally, the best place for it to manifest was within shadows, but underworld beings had no shadows. Thus, their very bodies became a part that Giratina could control.
Rather than the crude method of simply blowing the opponent apart, Giratina chose this approach.
“This place will henceforth be the property of the Father God. I cannot allow you to continue destroying it.”
In Giratina’s view, without the Spooky Plate, the underworld could never have reached this scale. Anything derived from Arceus’s power, whether intentional or not, belonged to Arceus.
What’s more, the underworld consciousness had already revealed its greed for the plate, so there was no need for any mercy.
With the demise of the underworld consciousness, the underworld finally fell completely silent. Even the ghostly soldiers once more turned into wandering spirits, scattering in all directions.
At this moment, Giratina changed its form. The wings on its back transformed into six ghost-like ribbon streamers, and its legs retracted into golden spikes.
Shifting into a more agile form, Giratina hovered in the air in its Origin Forme.
“Father God has already arrived. I’ll go greet him. You can handle things here.”
