"To see the Great God of the Giratina?"
Upon hearing Roy's words, Marshadow stopped frantically stuffing Pokéblock into his mouth. He was excited but also a little scared, because he had heard that the Giratina God was known for his unpredictable and capricious nature.
In the end Marshadow's excitement overcame his fear. After all, this was the Giratina God, whom he had only heard of before, and he still wanted to meet him.
"Then you can go inside my shadow first."
After Marshadow threw the last Pokéblock into his mouth, he burrowed into Roy's shadow. As soon as he entered, he discovered Ancient Gengar lying flat on its back with its legs crossed.
Upon seeing Marshadow enter, the Ancient Gengar maintained its original posture, extending a large, chubby hand to greet Marshadow.
Now that even Legendary Pokémon like Marshadow is following Roy, it's definitely not wrong for him to follow Roy.
"You're going to see the Great God Giratina soon? Aren't you nervous?"
Marshadow somewhat puzzled.
"Ghost!"
See Giratina?
The Ancient Gengar had been lying flat in Roy's shadow the whole time and hadn't heard Roy and Marshadow's conversation at all.
Recalling the Pressure black dragon that had grabbed him and dragged him into the Distortion World, the Ancient Gengar immediately sat up straight, showing none of its previous laziness.
Looking at the drastically changed Ancient Gengar, Marshadow was speechless. Where did Roy find these antiques?
After instructing the Pokémon to wait for him in the same spot, Roy waited for Giratina to arrive.
Just as Marshadow was wondering how Roy would take him to see the Giratina God, a Space-Time Rift opened above the Palossand.
Misdreavus and Snorunt were already used to it, knowing that Giratina wouldn't hurt Roy. All they needed to do now was quietly wait for Roy to return.
The Annihilape originally wanted to go too, but when he thought about how he had beaten Giratina in his dream, he suddenly felt a little guilty. Moreover, the eyewitness, Marshadow, was also in Roy's shadow, and with his strength, he could easily protect Roy. So he decided not to go this time.
Under the watchful eyes of all the Pokémon, Roy was once again grabbed by a giant Golden claw from the spatial rift and dragged into the dark spatial rift.
When Roy opened his eyes, he found himself in the Distortion World, which was still pitch black, while Giratina was watching him from mid-air.
Humans, we...
Giratina was about to speak with Roy when he sensed something within Roy's shadow.
Realizing he had been discovered, Marshadow quickly emerged from Roy 'Roy shadow, along with the Ancient Gengar.
When facing Giratina, the Ancient Gengar remained obedient. Last time, it didn't recognize Giratina, otherwise it wouldn't have dared to run away.
And now he's obediently following Roy, this hero of reversals, even though he eats a bit too much usually...
Giratina didn't care about the Ancient Gengar's inner monologue; his attention was entirely on Marshadow, and he was filled with doubt.
Why does the Pokémon inside Roy's shadow possess a Divine Might?
Could this be a Legendary Pokémon?
"Giratina God... I... I..."
Marshadow's voice was somewhat stuttering.
The black dragon that he had seen in the Annihilape's dream was staring at him; he knew this was Giratina.
He thought he was mentally prepared when Roy said he would take him to see Giratina.
But when Giratina was about 100 meters tall, stood in front of him, he felt a strange sense of fear and a desire to submit, even though Giratina was not radiating any pressure.
"Giratina, actually..."
Seeing that Marshadow was stammering, Roy took the initiative to explain Marshadow's background to Giratina, revealing that he was Ho-Oh's subordinate.
He expressed Marshadow's respect for Giratina, and was so excited upon hearing that he could meet Giratina that he couldn't sleep well for three days.
Looking at it now, what Ho-Oh?
They're simply not capable of Giratina!!
Marshadow stared at Roy, completely bewildered. When had he ever flattered Giratina like that?
When did you say Ho-Oh was no longer viable?
Didn't he just get back tonight?
Why are you so excited that you can't sleep for three days?
Roy gave Marshadow a look, Marshadow realized what was happening, immediately giving Giratina an admiring look.
Marshadow was also very excited to meet her idol, and the admiration in her eyes was genuine.
Ho-Oh's subordinates?
Giratina recalled seeing a red and yellow bird with mixed plumage above the mission location before, so this little black thing was one of their minions?
Upon hearing Roy's flattery in the latter part, especially the comparison between Ho-Oh and himself, Giratina wore a matter-of-fact expression. How could that scruffy bird be worthy of being compared to him?
Since the other party has chosen to follow Roy and abandon darkness for light, he will become Roy's subordinate from now on. Although Marshadow also Divine Authority, Marshadow is still a bit weak to him.
However, Marshadow is definitely stronger than the Ancient Gengar. With Marshadow by Roy's side to protect him, he won't have to worry about his gadgets being in any danger in the future.
Roy was his tool, while Marshadow the tool's subordinate. Giratina somewhat confused; he didn't know what Marshadow was to him now—a subordinate of his tool?
As for what Ho-Oh thinks?
He didn't care about Ho-Oh or any other Legendary Pokémon; he was just living in his own Distortion World. If anyone disagreed, they could come and challenge him in the Distortion World.
If Ho-Oh really dares to come, then let him never return.
Giratina glanced at Marshadow once and then paid no more attention to him.
