You had to admit, the Pokémon World was an interesting place.
Strength ruled this world, but even Legendary Pokémon had troubles of their own.
Recently, Giratina had read a book somewhere.
And somehow discovered that both Pokémon and humans could dream, damn it!
That left Giratina completely baffled.
How come I've never had a dream?
What even is a dream?
Is it where I'm invincible, stomp Arceus underfoot, and turn my fighting spirit into a horse whenever I feel like it?
Something's not right!
Why don't I have dreams?!
I want to stomp Arceus too! Forget the horse thing... that's not important.
Once Giratina made up its mind, it acted. It might spend all its time in the Distortion World and seem like it barely existed.
But it had guts.
If it couldn't dream on its own, what was it supposed to do?
Find a professional!
After thinking it over, Giratina decided to capture Cresselia.
Compared with Darkrai, Cresselia was easier on the eyes.
And she was excellent at her specialty!
Just listen to that title: the Pokémon of Pleasant Dreams!
Surely that beat being the Pokémon of Nightmares!
Rumor had it Rayquaza had once offended Darkrai, so Darkrai gave it a nightmare.
In the dream, ten thousand Caterpie pinned Rayquaza down and battered it with Tackle.
The experience left Rayquaza too afraid to leave the Sky Pillar for over three years. It feared that seeing a wild Caterpie would unleash an uncontrollable urge to destroy the world.
Giratina had nothing better to do all day, so it got to work.
After finding out where Cresselia was, Giratina crossed dimensions and snatched her away.
"Help!"
Cresselia wasn't much of a fighter to begin with, and Giratina had ambushed her while she was bathing in a lake.
She had no time
