Darkrai's presence was fierce, but the gap in strength was enormous.
With a casual strike, Giratina sent Darkrai flying out of sight. He vanished from everyone's view once more.
After dealing with the disruption, Giratina looked at Cresselia and said quietly:
"I didn't know you were bathing at the time..."
"I'd heard that everyone could dream, but I'm a Ghost-type dragon, and I've never known what dreaming feels like."
"That's why I came looking for you... I'm sorry."
In front of Arceus and Xu Mu, Giratina knew how to behave.
When he was wrong, he owned up to it and bowed his head in apology. That was how he'd get fed in the future!
Since Giratina had admitted his mistake, Cresselia couldn't press the matter any further.
Forget it. I'll pretend a dog caught a glimpse of me. What rotten luck...
Cresselia pursed her lips and sighed, then turned to thank Xu Mu.
Xu Mu didn't mind. Saving a life was a good deed, and he was kind by nature. When he saw an injustice, of course he had to step in.
"If you ever need anything, contact Darkrai or me!"
After giving Xu Mu two feathers, Cresselia added:
"My feathers can help people or Pokémon sleep peacefully."
"If there's a girl you like, you could give her one."
Cresselia's voice was airy, but gentle too.
As Tomato would put it, she had a mature, alluring voice.
Xu Mu happily accepted the two feathers and smiled.
"Thanks. I didn't do much. I hope you two can get back to living well."
"If anything comes up, I'll contact you through these feathers."
After a few more pleasantries, Cresselia found Darkrai where Giratina had knocked him.
She grabbed Darkrai by the ear, and the two Pokémon left the Distortion World.
"Well, well.
