Chapter 422 Giratina, I'm here to negotiate!
A world turned upside down.
This is the other side of the real world, and also the intersection of the three dimensions of mind, time, and space.
Countless bubbles reflecting scenes from various parts of reality float throughout the inverted world. When these bubbles burst, the world depicted in the images will also be affected.
At the very beginning of Arceus's creation of the world, the Inverted World was on the verge of collapse due to the pressure from other worlds, which swept up countless soils from the real world, and these soils still drift in the Inverted World to this day.
Therefore, a guardian of the stable plane was left behind.
Its name is Giratina.
Among the countless bubbles in this inverted world, one reflects Qingyu's smile; he seems to be talking to someone.
And not far in front of the bubble—
A colossal beast, entirely white with several golden semicircular rings encircling its body and six legs, its tattered wings resembling black rags and exuding a sinister aura, seemed lost in thought.
(Giratina)
If it wanted, it could simply flap its wings, and the red talons on its wingtips could instantly burst the bubbles, sweeping everything in the scene into the inverted world.
However, Giratina did not intend to do so.
It could sense that, right outside the gap between the inverted world and the real world, at that connection point that had long been completely sealed off, three familiar auras were already prepared.
Perhaps he doesn't need to do anything; he will naturally come to the Reverse World under the guidance of those three little guys.
Giratina then withdrew its gaze and gently flapped its wings a few times.
Its tall and imposing body instantly transformed into a ghostly shadow, disappearing at an extremely fast speed.
October 5th, Sunday.
After returning from Wisdom Lake, Qingyu rested at the research institute for two more days.
Although it's called a renovation, it seems like nothing much was actually done.
-
After all, his target this time wasn't someone whose chances of winning would increase just by being better prepared.
Latina, the dragon rider of Hades, was given the mission by Arceus, the creator god, to guard the Reverse World and maintain the balance of world order.
Trying to quell its anger is something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of.
However, Qingyu appeared very calm before setting off, even showing some excitement like a child looking forward to an outing.
"Are you sure you don't need me to come with you?"
Sitting in the living room, Zhu Lan's gaze held a hint of worry.
Even if she trusted Qingyu completely, the opponent she was facing this time was, after all, an incredibly powerful legendary Pokémon.
Moreover, this part of the work should have been handled by him, the Sinnoh champion; what happened at Lake Wisdom had already troubled him enough.
Despite it being his own invitation, he was putting Qingyu in danger.
If Qingyu gets hurt—
She will feel very guilty.
That's why Zhu Lan wanted to go to the Reverse World with Qing Yu, so that she could protect him should a battle break out.
"Don't worry, I have many backup plans."
Qingyu smiled.
"Since Yuxi and the others can open the gate to the Reverse World and teleport me to my destination instantly, they can also pull me back when needed."
"So it's actually not as safe for two people to go."
Of course, there is another reason as well.
Zhu Lan was worried about herself, but how could she not be worried about her?
Even knowing that she, a champion, was unlikely to have any problems in the God War, Qingyu still didn't want Zhulan to be dragged into the battle of the Reversal World like in the game's storyline.
This is what you call a two-way journey.
However, he did not say these words aloud.
Zhu Lan stared at him for a while, seemingly understanding his thoughts through his eyes, and had no choice but to compromise.
"All right."
"However, don't put too much pressure on yourself. This shouldn't have been your sole responsibility in the first place."
Even if we fail this time, there must be other ways.
"Yes, I understand."
Qingyu smiled and waved at her, then closed her eyes and called out Yukish's name in her mind.
"Yukishi, I'm ready."
Just as Yukshi said at the Wise Lake, he seems to have gained the ability to communicate briefly with Yukshi across distances by establishing "squad voice chat," and yesterday he received a positive response from it and the other two lake gods.
Soon, Qingyu disappeared.
The deepest room in the cave on the way home.
In Pokémon Platinum, this is the only entrance to the Distortion World after the main storyline, and also the only place where Giratina might appear in the real world.
Normally, getting here requires a series of very complicated procedures.
First, you need to descend from Veiltown to the Spring of Farewell, which is the hidden "fourth lake" where the souls of the dead are said to travel to the underworld.
Near the Spring of Farewell is the entrance to the Cave of Return, but reaching the deepest room requires a long exploration. If you make the wrong choice, you will fall into an endless cycle of being lost in the cave.
However, Qingyu skipped all the steps this time and appeared directly in the deepest part in the blink of an eye.
After all, he was brought here by the Lake Gods using teleportation, and with their superpowers, they certainly couldn't be hindered by illusions from the outside.
Upon entering the Return Journey Cave, Qingyu subconsciously looked around.
The surrounding walls are old and look quite weathered, and there are long staircases in all four directions leading to other rooms.
In the center of the room, apart from a stone pillar that was integrated with the ground, there were only the lake gods who had pulled Qingyu from Shenhe Town.
Aside from Yuxie, whom they had already met, both Emrito and Azelf, who were seeing Aoba for the first time, widened their eyes, seemingly very curious about him.
Hello everyone.
Qingyu immediately smiled and waved.
His natural movement caused Amrido and Arknom to exchange a glance and have the same answer in their hearts.
Just as Yukshi said.
This human named Qingyu really has no respect for us.
However, they don't dislike it that way.
After all, they are humans who are favored by that great one, so it is normal for them to have a slightly special personality.
"Hello, human who wants to open the Reverse World and quell Giratina's rage."
The "pink mushroom" Emrito, representing emotions, used his telepathic communication ability to greet Aoba in return.
Unlike Yukshi, whose voice is calm and intelligent, Emrido's voice is sweeter, giving Aoba the feeling of a lively girl next door.
Beside it, "Blue Mushroom" Arknom looked at Qingyu curiously for a few more moments before saying, "I admire the strong willpower in you. You seem to be the kind of person who, once you make a decision, will stick to it."
As a legendary being who bestowed will upon humanity, Arknom seems to hold Aoba in very high regard.
The three sacred mushrooms appeared together, and they all seemed to have a good opinion of Qingyu.
Following the two of them, Yukshi quickly conveyed his thoughts to Qingyu: "No need for further words, your courage has been recognized by the gods of the lake, so we will help you temporarily open the only entrance to the Reverse World."
"If you can truly retrieve the Celestial Flute, we will naturally grant you all the power you need once everything is ready and the Pillar of Spear Ruins is about to be opened."
Despite Qingyu's frail appearance, he probably couldn't even beat an ordinary Pokémon.
But for some reason, Yukshi felt a strange sense of trust in him.
However, as that person's messenger, it shouldn't be surprising that he can do anything, right?
"Yes, thank you for your help."
Qingyu nodded solemnly, waiting for the next part with a serious expression.
Upon his command, the three lake gods immediately appeared in three directions around the stone pillar and began to use their mental powers.
Qingyu then turned her gaze to the huge stone pillar in front of her.
Only four simple lines of text were engraved on it.
This is a place where two worlds—the vibrant life and the departed life—intersect.
After Qingyu silently recited a sentence in his heart, a beam of bright red energy suddenly shot out from the body of the Lake Gods and immediately wrapped around the stone pillar.
As their power was continuously injected into it, the originally dull gray stone pillar suddenly sprouted countless purplish-black patterns, and then a beam of light shot into the sky from below.
In the bright light, Qingyu could vaguely see the outline of a portal.
Soon, a void of blue-purple appeared before him, and all the changes from before vanished abruptly.
Through this portal that appeared out of nowhere, Qingyu could vaguely see the scene on the other side of the world.
Dilapidated, desolate, and silent, with some bubbles scattered randomly in the air, it looked completely lifeless.
"The path to the Reverse World has been opened. Now, enter it and find the god who is currently in a rage."
A weak voice came from Yukishi in Aoba's mind.
"Please be careful. If things get bad, please remember to say our names."
It was Emredo who spoke.
"Try to persuade Giratina; I'm willing to believe in your will!"
Arknom offered encouragement.
"Yes, I will succeed!"
Qingyu nodded, then resolutely stepped into the teleportation portal.
The purplish-black space before them immediately began to shake strangely. Under the gazes of the three holy mushrooms, each with their own distinct emotions, Qingyu quickly disappeared and reappeared in the empty world.
Upon entering the reversed world, Qingyu's expression immediately tightened.
The world before my eyes is far more appalling than the real world.
This deep purple space was filled with small pieces of land floating in the air, suspended due to the loss of gravity. Countless bubbles connecting to the real world blocked his view, preventing him from seeing the scenery further away.
In the game, the Reverse World is a strange world where the sense of space is completely lost and the top, bottom, left, and right are completely reversed from time to time.
Of course, if you look carefully in the game, you can at least find a way to continue.
At this moment, the floating islands in front of Qingyu not only had no discernible pattern, but also had many bubbles reflecting the real scene that obscured her view.
If you accidentally pop the bubble, it seems like it could cause a lot of trouble in the real world.
Therefore, Qingyu carefully blew air upwards, seemingly trying to avoid touching the bubbles in this way.
Although he didn't actually have high expectations.
However, Qingyu's actions seemed to have an unexpected effect.
Not only above him, but all the reality bubbles in all directions immediately began to move away, quickly clearing out a large space.
In this unobstructed space, a powerful roar suddenly came from below.
Qingyu subconsciously looked down and saw ripples spreading around her. A blurry, twisted black shadow was rushing toward her from below.
In just a few breaths, the dark figure leaped onto the same floating island beneath Qingyu's feet, the sound and force of its landing causing the ground to tremble.
Before Qingyu could even look up, the Poké Balls in his pocket burst open on their own, and several beams of red light appeared beside him.
Feeling immense pressure from ahead, the Pokémon, who had been on high alert, couldn't sit still any longer.
The first thing that caught Qingyu's eye was the platinum-gold body and several red and black patterns.
It was a large dragon Pokémon, exuding majesty and with crimson light shining in its eyes.
It is Radina, the Hades Dragon Knight, in a different form.
"——"
Faced with Giratina's gaze, Aoba subconsciously scratched his head.
Well, I was just wondering how to find a needle in a haystack in the Reverse World, what if I really couldn't find Giratina?
No need to worry anymore, they came over on their own.
As for why his first reaction wasn't nervous?
Isn't that obvious?
Given Giratina's speed just now, if it wanted to make a move, it wouldn't give it a chance to react.
But now, Giratina was standing right in front of him, yet he didn't immediately make a move, instead just staring at him blankly.
Unlike the "anger" described in Yuuki's intelligence, this is actually quite rational.
Perhaps sensing some changes in the outside world, as Qingyu silently observed Giratina, a pair of red beady eyes suddenly appeared in his shadow.
Soon, Marshall, who had been hiding in Qingyu's shadow, peeked out.
As Qingyu's "Shadow Guardian," it still has the obligation to protect the personal safety of this prospective hero until Lord Fengwang completes his trial.
However, when it raised its head and met the gaze of the imposing Hades dragon rider, Radina—
Sorry to bother you.
Marshall immediately withdrew an online application and quietly moved back into Qingyu's shadow.
Then, he started trembling.
very scary!
How did Qingyu end up running into this guy?!
The black Rayquaza last time was one thing, but this time even Giratina is involved—
Moreover, this is definitely the Reverse World that Ghost Pokémon is very familiar with, and its connection with the real world should have been severed long ago!
Is this Phoenix King Trial testing Qingyu or the Phoenix King Guard he leads?
Marcia didn't quite understand, but she now absolutely believed in Qingyu's strength.
Even without me, the hero recognized by Lord Ho-Oh would certainly not fear a mere Giratina!
Of course, Qingyu had no idea what was happening behind her.
All he knew was that, based on his current performance, Hades Dragon Knight Radina should still be able to communicate normally.
Just as he was pondering, a powerful roar, seemingly traversing space and reaching straight to his soul, suddenly came to his ears.
It was clearly not a language that humans could understand, yet Qingyu seemed to be able to comprehend it.
Why did humanity come into being?
That seems to be the meaning.
Although I always felt it was mysterious to understand Giratina's voice, with so many strange things happening to me, one more wouldn't make a difference.
Qingyu didn't pay much attention and quickly raised his head, looking at Giratina with a firm gaze.
At the same time, he spoke up, "Giratina, I'm here to negotiate!"
