Chapter 1158: Giratina

"Go!"

Phoebe pulled a string of bells from somewhere.

She shook them rapidly, and translucent waves of light rippled out, but they had no effect.

The bubbles remained suspended, completely intact.

Phoebe's pupils shook violently. "How is this possible!?"

A completely strange and unknown existence, a ritual tool that didn't work—this exceeded her understanding as a medium.

—An intruder!

It was going to do something harmful to the Spirit Realm area of Mt. Pyre!

Phoebe's expression was solemn; she prepared to use other means to buy All Baimu enough time to escape.

She trusted that once All Baimu ran out, he would definitely call her grandmother over—

"Yo-nong!"

Dusclops grabbed her slender waist and, without a word, flew backward with Phoebe.

Compared to the Trainer, it had felt the pressure radiating from the opponent earlier, making it impossible to even conceive of resisting.

While there is life, there is hope; why clash head-on with the opponent?

Phoebe bit her lower lip, knowing that an existence even her bells couldn't handle was definitely not something she could deal with.

But why were the bells ineffective?

Phoebe had never seen the bells fail since she was a child; it could only mean this thing required her grandmother to use it.

And when Dusclops had flown a distance away, she realized All Baimu was still standing in place, surrounded by a large number of Pokémon.

Was he going to fight?

"Ugh!"

Before she could say anything, a massive force suddenly struck her back, causing her dangling limbs to swing violently.

Ring-ring-ring!

The bells in her hand sounded urgently.

Phoebe turned her head and was shocked to find the black shadow behind her had become exceptionally thick, like a wall.

At the same time, the ground became as muddy as a swamp.

The bubbles dissipated, and a giant dragon-like black shadow opened its blood-red eyes, pulsing constantly.

A head seemingly made of sludge rose slowly, and a silent terror descended upon the shrine, like a giant boulder blocking the hearts of everyone and every Pokémon.

【Pressure】.

A pressure that no ordinary Pokémon could compare to!

All Baimu finally understood the feeling others had when looking at him.

"Sha-sang—"

"Don't move!"

He forcibly held down Hydreigon's head.

Hashilong had the most irritable personality and was the least able to tolerate this situation, which it viewed as a provocation.

But the first shot could not be fired from their side.

Especially when facing Giratina; how troublesome it was, Ash and Shaymin could testify.

In *Giratina and the Sky Warrior*, no matter how they ran or where they went, they could be found by Giratina, as it could peer into reality through any reflective object—mirrors, water surfaces, flat metal, etc.

It could be said that as long as it wanted to, you absolutely couldn't run away.

Even in the movie, Giratina's mobility was restricted.

Dialga, to get rid of its entanglement, had imposed a loop on the period it traveled to the outside world.

This caused Giratina to have to find Shaymin, hoping to break the time loop through Shaymin's ability.

But what All Baimu didn't expect was that the Renegade Pokémon actually had a connection to the Spirit Realm...

And, Phoebe was very likely implicated because of him; she had lived on Mt. Pyre for so long and had never seen any Renegade Pokémon, but as soon as he arrived, the Renegade Pokémon followed—the cause and effect were clear at a glance.

What exactly did this guy want to do?

All Baimu gripped the Arceus Phone on his chest; it was a pity Calyrex wasn't by his side, otherwise, he would have more confidence.

No matter, Aggron and the others were enough!

"Roar..."

Giratina stared straight at All Baimu, who was close at hand, and let out a low roar, as if telling him something.

But the Poryphone did not translate it.

This meant it either didn't understand, or the roar had no meaning.

All Baimu tilted his head and glanced at the Poryphone, judging that it should be the former; it wasn't the first time a Legendary Pokémon spoke a language ordinary Pokémon didn't understand.

"All Baimu—"

When Phoebe called out.

In an instant.

Giratina spread its huge wings, and like a waving claw, it suddenly swallowed All Baimu and all his Pokémon!

Boom!!

The air vibrated violently!

Too fast!

Phoebe couldn't react at all, her words stuck in her ears.

All Baimu and his Pokémon were the same; when the opponent spread its wings, a more terrifying 【Oppressive Aura】 made them completely unable to exert their usual swiftness.

Just a second of sluggishness, and they were taken away by the opponent like swallowing the sun.

Phoebe watched helplessly as All Baimu disappeared, and she slumped down dejectedly.

"All Baimu..."

What exactly was that opponent?

She had never seen such an existence.

Intuition told her this mysterious Pokémon was Ghost-type.

"—Go find Grandma!"

Phoebe said to Dusclops impatiently.

At a time like this, the only person she could rely on was her knowledgeable grandmother; although she had long since retired from the world, the older a medium was, the more profound their skills.

"Yo-nong!"

Dusclops nodded and quickly flew with its Trainer to the deepest level of the Spirit Realm's Mt. Pyre.

The Sableye were shocked to see only one return.

"Yammi? Yammi!?"

Where were the people? Where was the other person?

Phoebe grabbed the lead Sableye and said, "Has anything strange come to Mt. Pyre recently?"

"Yammi?"

The gatekeeper Sableye scratched its head.

It indeed hadn't discovered anything strange; at most, the person Phoebe brought earlier could be called strange.

Phoebe, having failed to obtain any information, was very disappointed.

She dropped it dejectedly and quickly pushed open the gate to run outside.

"Yammi? Yammi!"

The Sableye was shocked; Phoebe hadn't told it where that person from earlier was!

But as a gatekeeper, it couldn't leave the Spirit Realm and could only watch Phoebe and Dusclops leave, scratching its head in distress.

What should be done now?

Soon.

It wasn't the only one with similar thoughts.

Phoebe's grandfather and grandmother were woken from their sleep and, upon learning that the two had secretly gone to the Spirit Realm and All Baimu had been taken away by an unknown Pokémon, were so shocked they couldn't speak for a long time.

"A Pokémon you didn't recognize invaded Mt. Pyre and took All Baimu away?"

Grandfather repeated her words.

Phoebe nodded hurriedly and described everything she saw vividly.

The two elders looked at each other.

"Could it be Him?"

"There is only this possibility, that existence from the myths!"

Grandmother said seriously, "Giratina! The Pokémon symbolizing antimatter! The master of the world's reverse side!"

"Giratina? The world's reverse side?"

Phoebe was slightly startled; she wasn't unfamiliar with the former, as the Sinnoh creation myths were widely spread.

But it was indeed the first time she had connected the Giratina from the myths with the Pokémon she had just seen.

Grandfather said, "Legend says the world is divided into five parts—our reality, Dialga's world, Palkia's world, Arceus's world. And... Giratina's world."

"What about the Spirit Realm?"

Phoebe hadn't heard the Spirit Realm mentioned for a long time and found it very strange.

Grandmother said, "The Spirit Realm is a world of the spiritual domain, and it presents itself in a fragmented way; it is the reflection of the world."

"Therefore, it is included in Giratina's world. It can be said that the Spirit Realm belongs to Giratina."

"... How come I never knew about this?"

Phoebe muttered in a low voice.

Grandmother shook her head and said, "Because before this, it was just a legend; your grandfather and I had never seen Giratina, let alone confirm it truly existed."

Phoebe had seen the true master of the Spirit Realm with her own eyes, but the process wasn't very pleasant.

Her good friend had been taken away!

Phoebe bit her lip and said, "Grandma, can you save All Baimu?"

"... Perhaps we can try spirit communication to attempt to contact the person who was taken." Grandmother originally wanted to say she was powerless, but couldn't bear to see her granddaughter disappointed.

No way.

Giratina or whatever, she really hadn't seen it!

Phoebe, upon hearing this, couldn't wait to gather the spirit communication tools.

The spirit communication ritual required an object from the person's lifetime; she took the bag All Baimu had left in the guest room.

Pity.

Although she held high expectations, the spirit communication still failed.

Silence.

"All Baimu!"

Phoebe's eyes were slightly red; she deeply regretted bringing him into the Spirit Realm so hastily; if only she had been more cautious!

Grandfather and grandmother, seeing her so sad, comforted her, "Do not worry, young All Baimu is no ordinary person; he is one who has returned from death."

"Perhaps Giratina is curious because of this point about him. It may not necessarily be harmful to him!"

"But if you say that, will Giratina make him return to death?" Phoebe's eyes were red.

Grandfather and grandmother didn't know how to answer this.

Actually, in their view, this trip for All Baimu might not be a narrow escape from death, but it was definitely extremely dangerous.

—

"Tch!"

All Baimu sneezed.

He looked at the bright environment around him, thinking about where he should go.

This was the Distortion World, a world where gravity was distorted and buildings were strange, upside down.

That's right.

Giratina had brought him to the Distortion World from the movie.

The good news was, it didn't seem prepared to attack him.

The bad news was, not only it, but All Baimu's Pokémon were also gone.

Why did the opponent do this?

What was the meaning of this?

All Baimu couldn't figure it out, forced to jump and move forward on strips of pathways.

His powerful physique was exerted to the fullest; he was simply like Tigger...

"Aggron! Mawile!"

All Baimu shouted at the top of his lungs.

He didn't feel much when watching the movie, but coming here, he realized the Distortion World was ridiculously large.

Heaven knows when he would be able to find them if he searched step by step.

All Baimu gripped the Arceus Phone, only hoping Arceus would be helpful and teach its useless son a lesson.

How could it kidnap someone and then ignore them?

As if it had heard his inner voice.

A slight vibration of air suddenly came from behind.

All Baimu was about to turn his head when he felt sweat pouring down his back, as if he were being stared at by a fierce tiger.

Understood.

It was Giratina.

He turned around slowly and indeed saw Giratina in its Origin Form behind him.

In the center of its huge head, a pair of blood-red eyes stared straight at him.

"What do you want to do?"

All Baimu asked straightforwardly.

Giratina was stunned, just staring at his face and body, and after a few seconds, let out a long roar, "Roar—!!"

Visible sound waves blew against his body!

Fortunately, the enhanced version of the Magma Suit was enough to ignore this level of threat.

All Baimu endured to the end and asked again, "What exactly do you want to do? Bringing me here?"

"..."

A human-like incredulity suddenly appeared on Giratina's face.

This expression was captured by him.

It could communicate!

All Baimu realized that the Giratina he encountered was the same as in the movie, in a kind form that could communicate.

As expected of the Pokémon anime world!

If it were the game world or the manga world, he might have died here.

And now, what was placed before him was a multiple-choice question—

Should he use the Heart of God?

Groudon's warning was still fresh in his memory; what if Giratina was like it, what should he do?

... Wait.

All Baimu suddenly realized he had to use the Heart of God.

After all, the Poryphone couldn't understand what Giratina wanted to express; if he wanted to communicate and leave the Distortion World, he could only rely on the Heart of God.

He swallowed his saliva and walked forward slowly, raising his hand.

Giratina's blood-red eyes stared at him, but it didn't leave, letting him place it between its brows.

Subsequently, a faint golden light shone.

Giratina's eyes widened—

Hum!

In an instant, All Baimu and it already existed within the spiritual space, seeing each other "naked."

The two sides officially began to communicate.

All Baimu said, "Why kidnap me? What do you want to do?"

Giratina didn't answer, just saw many memory fragments through the pale golden human figure.

After a long time, a strong will came through.

"You! Violated my domain! This is wrong!"

"I violated your domain?"

All Baimu didn't understand and carefully felt the emotions coming from its spiritual body—there was anger, confusion, and curiosity.

With the help of the Heart of God's power, he continued to explore downward and soon understood Giratina's thoughts.

A cliché yet one that made him laugh and cry—

The territorial consciousness of wild Pokémon.

Giratina was the master of the Distortion World, and the Spirit Realm also belonged to a part of the Distortion World, that is, the spiritual domain.

All Baimu's unauthorized intrusion was viewed by it as some kind of malicious invasion.

And why it stared at him, while turning a blind eye to Phoebe...

It had to do with Arceus.

As everyone knew, All Baimu was a human made by Arceus, essentially similar to Giratina and the others.

Giratina's world had once been chaotic due to the war between Dialga and Palkia, which made it vigilant against its "brothers."

Due to his special nature, All Baimu was mistaken by it as wanting to do something to the Spirit Realm and even the Distortion World.

Giratina, of course, wouldn't allow it.

So it rushed to Mt. Pyre at the first opportunity and took All Baimu away.

In fact, it had already discovered All Baimu last time at the Mauville Hotel, but it hadn't been in time, and he had left very quickly.

This time, led by Phoebe, playing and walking along the way, he was successfully caught by Giratina.

All Baimu: "..."

What kind of thing was this!

He would have to be crazy to do something harmful to the Distortion World!

One had to know that the Distortion World and the reality world were closely connected; if something went wrong in the Distortion World, the reality world would suffer as well.

All Baimu hurriedly tried to prove his innocence, but Giratina was skeptical.

It stubbornly believed that All Baimu had this ability and viewed him as the manager of the reality world.

Just like it managed the Distortion World, and its other brothers.

"I am simply more wronged than Dou E."

All Baimu sighed, "Then what do you want me to do? You won't listen to anything I say, so how am I supposed to prove that I won't be detrimental to you and your world?"

"..."

Giratina didn't reply, just unilaterally released the Heart of God, and then flew away.

Leaving All Baimu behind, who had been dumped in place.

"... Damn!" ===== CHAPTER 1159 =====
