Giratina was studying Eternatus's power when suddenly he felt a numbness in his body.
Looking down, he saw a purple spot had appeared on him, though he did not know when.
"Little brother, don't stare, you won't understand," Axel grinned at Giratina.
Judging by the plot, although Eternatus had appeared in the Galar region twenty thousand years ago, it had always been dormant and asleep.
Until Axel's era, Eternatus still had not shown itself.
That is to say, in the current world there was basically no information about Eternatus.
Just now Giratina had no guard up, and letting Eternatus use the move Toxic was the best example.
["Who are you calling little brother!"], Giratina looked for a time, found that, as Axel said, he really could not make sense of it, and so gave up researching.
Anyway as long as he didn't let Eternatus make Axel grow, he could not lose.
"ANG~", With a roar, Giratina's earth-colored body drifted through the Reverse World.
His movements were swift, his body nearly becoming a phantom.
As a being later scholars called the "Underworld King Dragon," Giratina's specialty was not dragon power but rather ghost power.
Powerful ghost energy condensed around him at every moment, making him increasingly like an apparition.
Terrifying, agile, unpredictable.
"Eternatus, be careful, find a mirror to land on."
Seeing Giratina use the advantage of the Reverse World, Axel tugged the corner of his mouth, not overly worried.
As in later Reverse Worlds, this place was still a void, only some mirrors of various shapes and orientations forming passages.
More strangely, here "gravity" seemed not to exist.
Or rather, gravity existed everywhere.
No matter where or which direction, you could always stand on a mirror, even head down and feet up.
In such circumstances, battles easily produce all sorts of problems.
For example, your Water Pulse might be released forward but suddenly turn at a mirror nearby.
Or you could be watching defense in front, and the enemy suddenly rushes from above.
Giratina was now charging power, probably betting that he could not get familiar with fighting here.
Too bad... Axel and Eternatus landed and looked at Giratina with pitying eyes.
Who said he wanted to fight head-on?
Giratina had not noticed that Eternatus's Toxic had already begun to spread on him.
As the god of poison, given enough time, Eternatus could poison to death any Pokémon except Arceus and steel-type deities!
Finally, Giratina gathered enough power.
His claw was now surrounded by enormous ghost energy, the whole claw seeming like an energy talon.
The already cold and desolate Reverse World, under his influence, became like a dead domain. Energy cut across the mirrors with a creaking sound that made the scalp tingle.
If a timid trainer came in, they would probably be scared half to death without Giratina even acting.
Seeing that under such circumstances Axel still had not been made large by Eternatus, Giratina finally grew bold.
His body slowly cut through space, approaching the mirror where Axel and Eternatus were.
["Axel, I originally planned to make you regret it later, but you ignored my might and chased me to this place."]
["I will make you pay for your ignorance!"], Giratina's voice rolled in. The claw, completely covered by ghost energy, suddenly appeared from the mirror and, with a terrifying whoosh, struck toward Axel.
Axel stood on Eternatus without much worry, instead very curious.
He wanted to know whether a level-50 Eternatus, after using Cosmic Power six times, could withstand an attack from a top-tier deity like Giratina.
Coincidentally Giratina's attack power had been weakened once by Rayquaza's Max Dragon Rider, so he could be used as a test subject.
Seeing Axel not even dodge, Giratina was infuriated.
'You really think I can't do it, huh?'
Giratina decided to let Axel learn the truth he had just realized.
There are differences even among gods.
In the Reverse World, aside from Arceus, Zygarde, and that black Rayquaza just now, he was invincible.
BANG!
Giratina materialized in front of Axel and slammed a claw down.
Eternatus, under Axel's command, used Protect forward.
But the instant the Protect light flared, the mirror beneath them suddenly changed orientation.
Giratina's claw was now behind Eternatus. The claw that should have hit the front struck the back instead.
Eternatus's Protect did not work at all and he was solidly hit by Giratina's Shadow Claw.
"ROAR!", Eternatus felt pain for the first time since birth and let out an angry roar.
His face contorted and his claws reflexively grabbed Giratina.
"Good chance, Confuse Ray!"
Eternatus opened his mouth and a dim light condensed inside, hitting Giratina in the face.
The next moment, Giratina felt his head go fuzzy and fell into confusion.
"Huh?", Axel blinked, somewhat surprised that Giratina had been hit.
In later times he had also tried to control Giratina, and even used Mewtwo, the god of battle.
In those fights, Giratina had shown very high resistance to control.
Either immune to control or with little effect when controlled.
This was the first time Axel had seen Giratina be controlled so deeply.
'Could Eternatus have a control talent?'
'Looks like it should be trained properly later.'
While Axel pondered, Giratina used the level of suppression to break free from Eternatus's clamp and flew off to roam in the distance.
Axel checked Eternatus's status briefly and found the little guy had lost about one fifth of his stamina, and he nodded inwardly.
From base stats, Eternatus's defenses were not outstanding, but he had the god move Cosmic Power.
Six Cosmic Powers let his defenses reach levels not appropriate for his rank.
If things got bad, he could always trigger an Eternamax.
He had never used it before, only refrained to avoid attracting the attention of the Eternatus in Galar, not because the power was insufficient.
In the Reverse World, that single concern did not exist for now.
This round was a sure win.
