Chapter 140

"Giratina, Dragon type and Ghost type, resistance Pokémon

Level: Lv.125

Characteristics: Sense of oppression

Hidden characteristic: Telepathy

Skills: Shadow Sneak, Misfortunes Never Come Singly, Shadow Sneak, Ancient Power...

The Hisui region has passed down a saying since ancient times: 'Strong light creates shadows.' Shadow refers to this mythical Pokémon."

Huh?

What's going on? It's already level 125?

Takumi was stunned.

His Cresselia is already level 120 also at the first level of the gods. As one of the mythical Pokémon, Giratina should be at the first level of the gods. It should be in the mythical/super-god realm... 

However, Takumi wasn't surprised when he remembered that the Hisui region had an Origin Forme setting.

The Origin Forme is Giratina's final form. It is estimated that, in this form, only a true mythical Pokémon can fully master the priesthood and power of antimatter.

Yes.

Dialga is the divine beast of time, and Palkia is the divine beast of space. Then Giratina is the divine beast of antimatter!

Normally, Giratina was expelled by Arceus and could only stay in the Distortion World. However, in the main storyline of the Emerald Area in "Legend of Arceus," Giratina ended up in a seaside cave. Captured by players, Giratina appeared in this area. He is mysterious in every sense of the word, and his combat power is equally mysterious.

"Without Origin Forme, can it defeat Shadow?" Takumi pondered.

"It can be inferred from this that Giratina is weaker than the Champion. But if it obtains the Platinum Orb, would that be enough for Giratina to evolve into the mythical/super-god form and defeat the throne of Sky Island?"

Takumi held his chin, pondering the strengths and weaknesses of Analyzer and Giratina.

Raiden Shogun, as the only remaining Electro Archon in the Inazuma Sea, is the ruling monarch of the region. Giratina is a mythical Pokémon that has mastered destructive and antimatter powers. The strange thing is... why did Giratina never try to use these powers during the resistance?

Simply using Pokémon moves and skills—even exclusive ultimate moves—was also equivalent to being restricted to the regular combat power circle below the gods.

The battle between gods and mythical beings should be determined by the strength of power and divinity, shouldn't it?

Takumi decided to ask Giratina, communicating through the Master Ball:

"Giratina, I know you can hear me. Why are you so weak?"

In the space inside the Master Ball, Giratina, who had been stabbed by misfortune multiple times, rolled its eyes upon hearing this.

It had telepathic properties. Moreover, Takumi communicated with his psychic powers. Giratina understood Takumi's words, even detecting his subtext: "There is something wrong with you. You can't be a mythical Pokémon. How can a mythical being be so weak?"

Giratina roared angrily:

"Human! If it weren't for Arceus..."

Although it was angry, it still retained its reason:

"If I use the power of destruction and antimatter in Hisui, Arceus will banish me again."

Takumi was not surprised that Giratina feared Arceus. In a sense, Arceus was the strict father who created them. However, Giratina had never been welcomed by this strict father.

Both Dialga and Palkia had relevant records in the Water Vein Library and in the Sinnoh legends spread around the world. However, Giratina's existence was almost entirely forgotten by history. There were no inscriptions related to Giratina that survived to modern times.

"So that's it, being specially monitored by your strict father," Takumi's thoughts suddenly changed.

What if it was not the multiverse monitored by Arceus, but a foreign continent like Teyvat?

However, Giratina's power was too dangerous!

Takumi shook his head. If Giratina released its power in Teyvat, the throne of Sky Island would certainly descend to eliminate it. The reason the throne had remained silent thus far was partly because it was intimidated by Arceus when the ecological zone was formed. Additionally, the Pokémon Era seemed harmless for now, unlike the ancient kingdom of Khaenri'ah that had once challenged its bottom line...

The question was, how did Khaenri'ah once challenge heaven?

Raiden Ei was a witness and could answer this question.

Takumi immediately asked Lumine.

Raiden Ei was stunned for a moment, then inhaled deeply:

"That thing..."

She didn't say anything further but stared seriously into Takumi's eyes:

"If... if it were you, you could definitely save everyone. If it were you, you would save the world."

Takumi: ???

That's why I say, the Riddler must be stopped! What could that thing be? Could it be imaginary numbers, Honkai energy, or Honkai creatures?

At this time, inside the Poké Ball, Giratina roared again:

"Human! It is absolutely impossible for me to obey your orders! I will never surrender to you!"

Takumi spoke calmly.

Giratina, also known as the Renegade Dragon, was quite impressive. However, without its Origin Forme, it wasn't the complete version of the myth. Its destructive and antimatter powers were too powerful, attracting Arceus's attention at every turn, making Giratina more trouble than it was worth.

"It doesn't matter," Takumi shrugged, showing Giratina the Red Chain and the Treasure of Time.

"Wait until I craft an Origin Ball. Then we'll go visit Dialga. Hahaha, the priesthood and power of the Mythical Time Pokémon can always be used at will, right?"

Giratina roared again, but this time it sounded hollow and confused:

"Human, why do you have the Red Chain?!"

"Guess."

"Why do you have the Treasure of Time that can suppress Dialga?!"

"Guess again."

Giratina was seething with rage. You're so mean. If you let my father out, he would definitely beat you until you were paralyzed! He'd drag you to a dimension outside time and space, banishing you forever!

Inside the Poké Ball, Giratina angrily drew a circle and cursed.

Takumi smirked.

"No matter how much he resists, he's still Giratina, a mythical being after all."

"Besides, even though Villain escaped, without Giratina, the biggest villain in the Hisui region would have had his wings clipped. Let's see how much trouble he causes."

Takumi felt pleased.

After confirming the truth, he had easily resolved a hidden threat that could arise in the future when Teyvat explored the Hisui region. Raiden Ei didn't realize that Takumi and Giratina were communicating spiritually.

Meanwhile, Uxie, who had been blown away by Giratina's attack, recovered.

"Thank you, human," Uxie flew over, its voice filled with gratitude.

Takumi smiled.

"Think of it as a small return for giving me the Gear of Time. No need to thank me. Additionally, be cautious of the traveling merchant named Wang Luo. Apart from you, he has recovered, and he may go after the other two lake guardians. Please remind them, Uxie."

Uxie's Claw, Mesprit's Wings, and Azelf's Fang—a set of materials for crafting a Red Chain.

But Takumi had already obtained a complete Red Chain from a system lottery, and obtaining a second one wasn't difficult. Therefore, there was no need to target the three lake guardians. Wouldn't it be better to gain their friendship? In the future, when exploring the magnificent era of the Washui region, these mythical Pokémon could help protect Teyvat's people.

Yes, this is the Divine Beast Network. They have long lifespans and are nearly immortal. Once a friendship is formed, it becomes an eternal bond.

Takumi nodded in approval. He considered emulating Manaphy's social traits. After all, he possessed the power of Aura and could directly communicate with any Pokémon.

He declined Uxie's warm hospitality, but when he left, he still received gifts from Uxie: a few magic eggs, evolution treasures, and two Twisted Spoons.

"Good stuff," Takumi remarked. As a good trainer, he made sure everyone got their share. Cresselia received a Magic Slate, while Jirachi and Meloetta received the Twisted Spoons.

"Whee!" Jirachi held the spoon joyfully.

Meloetta, with her serious personality, placed her spoon carefully.

Later, Takumi decided to share Giratina's Pokédex entry in the group chat.

Finally, he had "picked up" a mythical Pokémon. Different from ordinary legendary Pokémon, it had to be shown off in the group chat. Otherwise, it would be no different from keeping a rare catch hidden.

Takumi: (Giratina.jpg) Here's the new Pokédex entry—feel free to collect it.

The group chat interface fell silent for a while.

Hu Tao: What a handsome ghost dragon... wait, why is it a mythical Pokémon? Oh, it's a myth?

Zhongli: Strong light creates shadows... This myth sounds very dangerous.

Venti: Manager Takumi, let me be blunt for Zhongli. This kind of myth, which breeds and lives in the shadows, could be a threat to Liyue and Teyvat. Please handle it cautiously.

Yae Miko: Manager Takumi, can the newcomers ask a question? I know that mythical Pokémon have corresponding powers and handles. What kind of power does this Giratina have? (Curious Baby.jpg)

Takumi: It represents destruction and possesses the power of antimatter. In its Origin Forme, it can travel through dimensions outside time and space at will.

Everyone: Origin Forme??? (Confused.jpg)

Takumi dragged Raiden Ei to Celebration Village and glanced at the Master Ball in his pocket.

He sighed inwardly.

He had conquered it, but for Giratina to fight for him with all its heart, he would probably have to conquer Dialga first.

"It's okay," Takumi reassured himself.

"There is no shortage of strong allies. It's great to collect illustrations, and getting Giratina to lend its strength occasionally is a nice bonus."
