Chapter 1291: Battle Against Giratina Once More

Beside the ancient hermit's dwelling.

Inside the sleeping bag, Dr. Laban snored, his sleeping face exceptionally peaceful.

Not far away, eerie movements filled the entire tranquil forest, as if some existence would break the boundaries of space and arrive in reality.

"This is what you forced me to do! Baimu!"

After Wangluo threw off his felt hat, he seemed like a different person; his long hair, imitating Arceus, fluttered in the wind, "Do you feel it? This abnormal aura that makes one's heart tremble with fear!!"

As his words fell.

The shadows of the entire forest trembled violently; endless black smoke spread from behind him, and a pair of demonic black wings suddenly unfurled!

"Roar——!!"

A terrifying roar shook heaven and earth!

Wild Pokémon living nearby fled frantically; their instincts told them this place was no longer suitable for survival.

The familiar sounds also made Bastiodon and the other Pokémon stand ready in battle formation.

"Oh?"

Baimu was slightly surprised, only because a hundred years ago Giratina seemingly needed no mirror to arrive in reality through some means.

"Last time Arceus mediated and we didn't finish the fight in one go; this time we can finally have a satisfying battle."

He chuckled, taking out the Key Stone, Mega Evolution wristband, Tera Orb, and Z-Ring.

Unfortunately, the current environment couldn't use the Gigantamax Band; otherwise giving Giratina a Max Move would be nice too.

Seeing not a trace of fear on Baimu's face, even a hint of eagerness, Wangluo was inwardly astonished but coldly snorted on the surface.

In a flash, Giratina descended into reality.

Its demonic wings spread black mist; its massive, robust body appeared inexplicably sinister under the moonlit night, like an evil dragon from the underworld, gazing upon the world with crimson eyes.

With just one glance, it saw Baimu.

It ignored all the many Pokémon with powerful auras, including the Cetitan with the Thousand-Year Armband on its head.

"Roar……"

Giratina's roar shifted from high-pitched to low.

But affected by the environment, it couldn't maintain its Origin Forme from the Distortion World, only able to appear in its six-legged Altered Forme.

Although in the games the difference between the two formes is mainly reflected in the distribution of offensive and defensive stats, in "reality" being unable to use the Origin Forme is equivalent to Arceus's seal on it.

For Baimu, the key was whether Giratina could "create a vacuum."

The situation last time that led to a stalemate, forcing Arceus to intervene, was Giratina actively tearing open the spatial walls of the Distortion World, letting the void descend, nearly causing the world's destruction.

"I suppose you can't do it? After all, this is reality! The domain of humans and ordinary Pokémon!"

Baimu smiled, suddenly waving his hand: "Go! Let it know who rules the real world!"

In an instant.

Mewtwo charged at Giratina first; in its battle form its speed surpassed all Pokémon, a truly deserved supersonic battle dragon!

"Gyaoo!!"

"Roar!?"

Giratina's blood-colored eyes widened; the opponent had actually streaked past its head at a speed it couldn't even react to!

Crunch!

Azure lightning roared, illuminating the pitch-black night sky!

Amidst the piercing crackling sounds, the underworld's evil dragon was bathed in rapid thunder; intense paralysis made its body tremble.

But before it could recover, the next wave of attacks followed close behind — the Thievul and Mega Mawile close on its heels!

One wore a 'Shame' mask triggering Disguise, the other sprayed iridescent airflow from the giant jaw on the back of its head, brilliant like a pink comet, charging straight in!

"Bo~nio!"

"Chi~do!"

【Fairy·Thorn Whip】 x 【Play Rough】!

Dual Fairy-type energy, staff and fist struck Giratina square in the chest, blasting it away directly!

Rumble——!!

Countless giant trees snapped and collapsed in an instant; the terrifying force churned up a shockwave, blowing Wangluo, who was diagonally to Giratina's side, away.

"……"

He stood up somewhat bedraggled, looking up in disbelief.

What he saw was Mega Aggron and Mega Steelix's dual 【Heavy Slam】, the shining silver light and deafening roar leaving him frozen in place.

However, this was far from the end.

One could see Baimu's Pokémon surrounding Giratina from all directions, launching combination attacks in a remarkably systematic manner under Baimu's continuous shouts.

For example, Hydreigon, Shiny Minior, and Dragon Pillar Regidrago's triple 【Draco Meteor】; Mega Shiny Gengar, Galarian Corsola, and Duraludon's triple fused 【Shadow Ball】; the Three Legendary Titans, Blissey, and Porygon2's quintuple 【Zap Cannon】; Purugly and the Three Companions' 【Gunk Shot】 x 【Sludge Bomb】 toxic combo……

From the moment Giratina was hard-controlled by Mewtwo's 【Volt Tackle】, it never had any chance to counterattack the whole time, continuously taking hits until it was hard-controlled again by Electric Pillar Regieleki's 【Thunder Cage】.

Thus.

The final finishing attack arrived.

Rising above the dark night, commanding the stars, the Sky-Rending Spear held high, Queen Leiguanwang rode Spectrier cloaked in the night; the entire sparkling Milky Way of washed emerald was grasped in her hand.

She solemnly declared:

'Stars, shatter!'

Myriad stars surged; the brilliant Milky Way seemed like a bursting waterfall, plummeting toward Giratina shrouded in dust and smoke.

At this moment, in Wusi and Wangluo's eyes, the galaxy flowed ceaselessly!

What followed for them was a scorching bright light that completely tore apart the deep night and ushered in broad daylight.

Boom—!!

Amidst the earth-shaking roar, the hard ground shattered into fragments under the violent energy, countless rock fragments tearing through the air toward the horizon, leaving behind a massive crater that made hearts tremble.

The shockwave expanded spherically, wherever it passed rocks shattered and rivers flowed backward; in the vast forest, trees either snapped or collapsed, and leaves were blown off by the gale, leaving only bare trunks.

Countless wild Pokémon around Mount Tianguan trembled and fled, the 'Kings' and 'Queens' scattered across Xiuqi looked up in alarm, some even mounting up and setting out to investigate.

This was Leiguanwang's unrestrained, all-out strongest strike.

Solely to prevent the scene that once overturned the world from repeating.

And also to prove that the benevolent and abundant king has no rival, even if the opponent is so-called divinity!

In the frigid high altitude.

Leiguanwang exhaled a puff of white breath.

It deliberately drove wild Pokémon away from this area, hence it had to wait until the last moment to strike.

Otherwise, it would actually strike faster and more decisively than Miloton!

So how did this strike turn out?

Leiguanwang's mental power permeated the air, spreading across the smoke-and-dust-covered land, dispersing the churning smoke and mist.

It suddenly furrowed its brow.

'Missed?'

In the sinister and terrifying center of the crater, there was no trace of Origin Dialga's form, as if it had been directly blown into nothingness by it.

But Leiguanwang knew very well that it could not possibly have reduced its opponent to ashes to this extent; otherwise, how could the battle have previously reached a stalemate where both sides refused to yield, requiring damage accumulation to drag out time?

"Watch out! Second stage incoming!"

Baimu's voice rang in his ears.

Leiguanwang also sensed it, and saw numerous black shadows continually emerging below, with black mist like curtains rising all around, intertwining to form a long, dragon-shaped shadow.

"Roar..."

Low and gloomy, symbolizing all negative matter forming the dragon's outline, and revealing its terrifying six wings.

Suddenly.

The terrifying roar echoed through the heavens!

"Roar—!!"

The curtain was torn apart, Origin Dialga appeared!

This was exactly the form they had seen in the Reverse World before, tearing space to bring forth the anti-matter god of nothingness!

It furiously glared at all attacking Pokémon, countless pulsing black light orbs appearing around its body, falling like a violent rain!

Thud-thud-thud—!!

A series of explosions illuminated the ancient hidden land!

Leiguanwang and the Spirit Mare were also within the blast radius of the light orbs, though the latter had dodged in time enough to avoid being hit.

'The fury of the powerless...'

It deeply furrowed its brow, merely troubled by its centipede-like constitution that dies but does not stiffen.

If the opponent were willing to faint from that strike just now, it would be fine.

Leiguanwang did not wish to fight Dialga to the point of reality collapsing, and Baimu thought the same.

"Again!"

In the forest, dragging along Zuoluo, he shouted, and Super Bossukodora and other Pokémon actively responded.

Although the previous shadow ball rain was dense, it was far from enough to defeat his Pokémon, and no one would fall to such an attack.

He did not bring the Alolan Meowth that might not withstand it or the Howling Tail.

And his Zuoluo, after a bout of dizziness, gritted its teeth and asked: "Just who are you!"

How could an ordinary person wield such power?

Zuoluo kept thinking and felt more and more wrong; Baimu was simply a calamity destined for him, coming specifically to destroy his purpose.

I just opened a spacetime rift, hadn't had time to do anything, and the other side attacked without distinguishing friend from foe, and clearly knew him well—truly terrifying to ponder!

"The one who comes to take you."

Baimu dropped him, glanced at the chaotic surroundings.

Although he had deliberately moved the battlefield away from the base, the power of 【Star Shatter】 was truly too strong, and Wu Si's cottage might inevitably be affected.

Fortunately, it was sturdy enough; even if pressed by three or four large trees, it showed no sign of collapsing.

Professor Laiben was still sleeping soundly, with two Beast 2 clones protecting him—he might even have special mental energy by morning?

Zuoluo resentfully said: "I only want to fulfill my dream, what wrong have I done?"

"I never said you were wrong, but your dream is disadvantageous to me, so I came to stop you."

Baimu glanced at the Pokémon continuously launching attacks, lowered his head and said: "Let me tell you the truth, Arceus couldn't care less about you, so I came."

"You—"

Zuoluo's pupils shrank violently, "You are the people of Shenjie!"

"He is not."

Wu Si walked out from behind a collapsed large tree, still as elegant as ever, "But his uniqueness is something you cannot imagine."

Like a bereaved dog, Zuoluo looked at her, then at Baimu watching the sky battle, and gave a bitter laugh: "Is there really no need to recreate the world? Is this my fate? I absolutely do not accept it!"

He suddenly stood up, shouting at the Origin Dialga in the sky: "We will not just accept defeat like this! Dialga! Now is the final battle that decides everything!"

"Roar—!!"

In the sky, the besieged Origin Dialga roared angrily.

One is a rebellious son, the other a sickly fan, and their emotions actually reached resonance at this moment.

The power of the spirit made Giratina throw back its head and let out a long howl.

Then, the moon disappeared.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the moon was erased, followed closely by the twinkling stars; they vanished as if washed away, leaving behind nothing but endless void.

Antimatter, canceling out everything.

Baimu's pupils contracted sharply, "Again!?"

The scene from the Reverse World replicating in reality? Is this your domain, that you can just run wild!

Wang Luo laughed loudly, "See that? This is Giratina's power! The power of rebellion!"

The arrogant laughter paired with his twisted features made Baimu unable to resist pinching his face, "Too noisy, stop laughing."

"Mmph!"

Wang Luo felt intense pain; that giant force clamping down on flesh and bone like a tiger's jaws turned all his madness and excitement into calm, "Hitting me is useless, Giratina has already begun invading and affecting reality."

Boom——!!

A huge boom rang out from the sky once more; it was Queen Leiguanwang unleashing another Star Shatter condensed with her whole being.

However, to Giratina, who currently held the authority of 'Erasure', this kind of move didn't have much significance; it could withstand it even by tanking it head-on.

A stat monster clashing with a mechanic monster; currently the mechanic monster held the upper hand.

Baimu looked at Wusi, "Do you have a way?"

"That's not something you should ask me, you should ask yourself." Wusi was calm like an outsider, as if the destruction of the real world had nothing to do with her.

Ask myself?

Baimu genuinely didn't understand her riddler answer, and subconsciously reached for the top of his head.

This touch, however, touched hair.

He quickly raised his head, only to see that Tailebaguosi had awakened at some unknown time, transformed into a giant turtle covered in fur.

The Thousand Worlds Wristband transferred from its mouth to its back, the red chains detaching from the Thousand Worlds Wristband and revolving around its back.

"Tailebaguosi, you?"

Baimu looked at it, and it lowered its head to look at Baimu; some form of communication was completed in that instant.

The tense mood eased along with it.

"That's right, there's still you."

Baimu let out a breath of turbid air, pointing at Giratina in the sky which was being frantically attacked yet stood unmoving, continuously tearing the sky, "Go on, give it a lesson! Tell it not to randomly come to someone else's territory and cause trouble!"

"Baga!!"

Tailebaguosi responded, its whole body releasing an even more dazzling light, charging straight into the sky toward Giratina beneath the void sky!

In the shocked gazes of all Pokemon, its form changed once more; hexagonal crystalline colors like a turtle shell grew from its underside, a crown sprouted on its head, and atop the crown was its normal form.

Around the crown, eighteen prismatic multicolored crystals were embedded, symbolizing the eighteen types.

And at the very edge of the lowermost shell, were various hexagonal floating crystals, likewise symbolizing the eighteen types!

Tailebaguosi, Star Crystal Form!

Wang Luo stared dumbfounded, "What on earth is this?"

"The omnipotent wishing machine, the source of paradox, the ancestor of Terastallization, and..."

Baimu smiled and said: "Arceus's little fanboy."

As the words fell.

A pillar of light soaring to the heavens illuminated the entire Xicui, and then, within the shimmering golden light, burning flames spread, transforming the void sky into a blazing sea of fire.

The astonishing heat seemed to be felt even on the ground.

Giratina raised its head to look up, and distinctly sensed a familiar power from within.

It's the Plates!

The moment this thought arose, the overwhelming sea of fire came pouring down upon it!

【Flame Plate · Crystal Light Star Cluster】!

"Baga!!"

The father's scolding reverberated through the firmament!
