At the summit of Michina Temple,
the battle between Li Wei's group and Arceus grew increasingly fierce.
"This is... Judgment!"
Dialga warned, "Even we can't fully withstand this attack!"
At that critical instant, a strange rift suddenly tore open in the sky.
Giratina burst out of the Distortion World with wings spread wide, charging into Arceus at incredible speed!
The ruler of the Distortion World-Giratina-had arrived!
Ash exclaimed excitedly, "It's Giratina!"
Caught off guard by the attack, Arceus lost control of the energy ball, which veered off course and struck the distant sky.
An enormous opening instantly tore through the dark clouds overhead.
Having stopped Arceus, Giratina slowly descended in front of Li Wei and took Arceus's Hyper Beam head-on!
As the billowing black smoke cleared, Giratina turned to give Li Wei a slight nod, then flew back into the sky to face Arceus.
Giratina said gravely, "Arceus, your destruction will upset the balance of every world."
It was precisely because Giratina had sensed the upheaval in the Distortion World that Giratina had come to Michina Town.
Li Wei called out, "Darkrai, Zeraora, Palkia, go! Buy me some time!"
Darkrai gathered Dark Void in both hands. "You'd better give me an extra meal when we get back!"
The corners of Li Wei's mouth lifted. "No problem!"
Palkia understood what Li Wei had in mind.
While Darkrai and Zeraora drew Arceus's attention, spatial power briefly bound Arceus in place!
Li Wei turned to Sheena and Ash. "Arceus's anger comes from the wounds of the past. We have to return to that moment!"
Li Wei then turned to Dialga. "For that, I need your help."
Ash asked in surprise, "Go back to the past?"
Li Wei nodded. "Back to the moment when humans first betrayed Arceus, so we can change that history!"
