When Takumi and Raiden Ei arrived at Zhuqing Village, they sensed a tense atmosphere.
Meanwhile, in the frozen soil within the ice cave on the other side of the Mt. Coronet foothills, Wang Luo had fled to this place. Not seeing any pursuers coming from behind, he suddenly collapsed against the wall. He wiped the blood still gushing from his nose and felt his life fading away.
Wang Luo mustered all his strength to take out a healing potion and consumed it, regaining some vitality. He looked in the direction of Lake Acuity and said to himself in horror:
"That person... Is it Mr. Takumi who suddenly appeared recently? His competition with Adaman, the leader of the Diamond Clan—I know about it. I thought he was just a bit stronger than Adaman, but at most he is just a top trainer. But looking at it now, he is too dangerous, even scarier than the leader..."
Wang Luo recalled what had happened before in terror.
"Damn it! Jirachi, Meloetta, Cresselia—a total of three mythical Pokémon. Can he control even more? Two of them are already first-class legendaries. Compared to Giratina, who has not yet reached its ancient Origin Forme, he is at least not inferior in terms of power! Also, the man himself... is extremely abnormal. He can gather the superpowers of three psychic-type mythical Pokémon into one and create his own ultimate psychic move. The power formula is directly multiplied by the coefficients—massive output!"
"Fortunately, Giratina blocked more than 90% of the power. Otherwise, I would be a corpse... No! It would have been instant death."
Of course, Giratina blocked more than 90% of that move's power, and Wang Luo thought that this mythical Pokémon would also feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, why would Giratina, who has a grumpy and proud personality, choose to run away without looking back? Giratina was obviously frightened after being beaten with just one move.
"But... what's going on with that woman? A humanoid beast? Drawing her sword and slashing can invalidate Giratina's special ability of disappearing and hiding?!"
Wang Luo had cooperated with Giratina and knew how overpowered and useful Giratina's exclusive move, Shadow Force, was. Didn't you see that before it was interfered with, Giratina relied on this move to calmly defeat Uxie, the legendary Lake Pokémon? Even if Uxie unleashed its exclusive ultimate move, Mystical Power, it couldn't do anything to Giratina. As long as it doesn't escalate into a full-blown battle between gods, using such powers and divine techniques is overwhelming.
Within the rules of Pokémon battles, Giratina's Shadow Force can stably suppress even Dialga and Palkia! But unfortunately, they encountered two perverts: one wielded an ultimate move that gathers the superpowers of multiple mythical Pokémon, and the other wielded a sword that can cut through space, break apart dimensions, and is extremely ruthless and decisive.
"It seems that future planning and arrangements will have to go underground. Be as hidden as possible," Wang Luo murmured to himself in horror. He had been beaten by a couple at their first meeting and was terrified by the encounter.

Celebration Village.
Inside the Galaxy Team headquarters building, Professor Laventon was astonished when he saw a Master Ball handed over by Takumi and heard Takumi say that there was a Giratina inside. His mouth opened so wide that he could swallow an egg.
"Ah? This... Giratina?"
Professor Laventon was among the very few who knew the legend of the Great Master of Sinnoh. Giratina, Dialga, and Palkia—they are the first three mythical Pokémon created by Arceus after he created the world.
In past history, Giratina had never been subdued by humans. Even Wang Luo only cooperated with Giratina; asking Giratina to recognize a master and be willing to be commanded by a trainer was simply impossible.
Takumi couldn't help laughing when he saw Professor Laventon's stunned expression. "Yes, that's Giratina. Professor, you know this guy is too dangerous. Moreover, it is unruly and untamable; it's impossible for it to acknowledge me for the time being. The reason why it didn't break free from the Poké Ball immediately is that it was seriously injured, and secondly, it is highly wary of the lightning general next to me."
"So, can you please help me create a special prison ball? I won't let Giratina come out to fight, and I don't lack combat power, so we can just make the Poké Ball into a prison. Or you can directly modify my Master Ball."
Professor Laventon, being a master of science and technology, pondered. In the Hisui region's storyline, only he could use Origin Ore and Red Chain fragments to create the Origin Ball that conquers Dialga and Palkia. He had a strange expression. "Although the Master Ball can definitely capture wild Pokémon, without the Origin Ball, you actually temporarily contained Giratina inside the ball?"
Takumi: "..."
He couldn't explain it clearly either. In the original 'Legend of Arceus,' players only need a high-level ball to capture Giratina, far less advanced than the Master Ball he used. Compared to Dialga and Palkia, which can only be captured with the Origin Ball, Giratina was brutally targeted. This was it—mythical status, awesome style, plummeting!
"No wonder it sucks so much," Takumi muttered.
Hearing Takumi's comment, Giratina, who was seriously injured inside the Master Ball, continued to squat in the corner, drawing circles and cursing. "Fine, I suck. I'm the shame of the myths. But me acknowledging you? That's absolutely impossible. You're a pervert, aren't you? I'll stay in the Poké Ball. Humans only have a short lifespan. When you die of old age, I'll be able to easily break free. The world is so big; who else can defeat me?"
Thinking about it, Giratina suddenly felt better and stopped drawing circles and cursing. He lay down leisurely and meditated to heal his wounds.
Huh? They're outside discussing building a prison ball or a complete Origin Ball to suppress and imprison me? Who do you think you are?
At this moment, Professor Laventon's door was pushed open by a lady.
"Sorry for the intrusion."
This was a woman wearing a black shawl and a luxurious dress. She had silver hair under a lady-like lace wide-brimmed hat and wore white silk gloves on her hands. She entered gracefully, like a noble lady.
"Ah, it's Ms. Cogita," Professor Laventon greeted her quickly, showing great respect.
Takumi turned around and was also shocked to see her. "Isn't this Cogita?" The Hisui region's most mysterious and possibly most powerful existence. The troublemaker Wang Luo was just a little kid who followed Cogita around, begging her to tell stories about ancient Sinnoh legends. She is most likely the only leader in the Hisui region.
In the eyes of players in the original work, Cogita provides information about legendary Pokémon that are closely related to the plates. Even Pokémon known as the Forces of Nature—Thundurus, Tornadus, Landorus, and Enamorus—Cogita has complete knowledge of their whereabouts and information.
Therefore, there is another theory: Cogita is speculated to be another human incarnation or clone of Arceus, the Great Master of Sinnoh.
In short, whether she is the leader, the human incarnation of Arceus, or something else, Takumi naturally brought his social skills into play with this big sister who helps players in every possible way and has no ill intentions.
The two of them had a great conversation.
"Sister, I heard that you have a Fairy Plate?"
"Yes, but you already have several plates, don't you? Don't be too greedy~"
"Sister, if I want to capture Enamorus, do you have any suggestions?"
"Ah, Enamorus is not yet in the Hisui region. It will only cross the sea and come here when the severe cold winter is about to end. Its love and brilliance will make new life sprout on the Hisui land..."
Inside the Master Ball, Giratina realized that he had suddenly lost contact with the outside world and could not even observe what was happening outside. Suddenly confused and panicked, he exclaimed, "Who! Who placed a special seal on the Master Ball?!"
When he realized that he could not break free from the ball and escape at will, Giratina panicked. "I don't believe it!" He even released a small amount of anti-matter power. However, a mysterious wave descended, firmly suppressing his world-destroying and reversing strength.
"Ah——" Giratina roared, "Arceus!!"
This episode was a vivid demonstration of what it means to be a loving father and a filial son. Arceus had suddenly given Takumi an assist at an unknown moment, putting his rebellious son in check.

At the secret space-time gate, Takumi took Lumine and continued to make a large circle in the Hisui region. Then, the two of them returned to the entrance in tacit understanding.
Raiden Ei looked back at the vast green area. Takumi smiled, "Why, are you reluctant to leave?"
Raiden Ei sighed, "I just didn't expect that I have already traveled all over the world."
She paused, then asked curiously, "You kept asking that lady for information about Enamorus. Is there anything special about this divine cloud?"
Takumi replied, "You also heard what Cogita said about Enamorus just now. In fact, the three divine clouds refer to Thundurus, Tornadus, and Landorus, and there is no Enamorus."
There was a reason why Takumi only wanted to capture Enamorus but not the other three. Simply put, strength is the maximum priority. The three Forces of Nature are too weak, at most on the same level as the Legendary Birds.
In the Unova region, when they first appeared, they were controlled by Giovanni with the power of Meloetta. Therefore, there's a good example proving that Meloetta can defeat the entire trio of the Forces of Nature. Being charmed and controlled by singing might be more humiliating for them than being defeated directly.
Takumi has his own Meloetta; why bother to look up to the three gods again?
"Thundurus?" After listening to Takumi's explanation, Raiden Ei eyes lit up.
Seeing this, Takumi shrugged. "It seems you're very curious about the power and divine presence of Thundurus. I'll find time to ask Cogita for you. If I get accurate information, I'll catch Thundurus with you."
Hearing this, Raiden Ei smiled slightly and said, "Okay~"
