On the other side, Giratina hid behind a mirror with an angry expression on his face.
'Dirty, too dirty!'
He didn't understand why this human clearly had so many powerful Pokémon, yet still had to fight this dirty.
'And those Pokémon beside him, why would they follow such a master?'
'Don't they feel ashamed?'
When he attacked just now, Giratina felt it clearly. That Pokémon called Eternatus, just like Rayquaza, was on the same level as he was.
His fully condensed Shadow Claw couldn't even take away half the opponent's stamina.
Yet while commanding such a strong Pokémon, that filthy Axel actually chose Confuse Ray.
'Sneaky, disgusting, nauseating!'
"Ugh~"
Thinking of Axel, Giratina couldn't help a wave of nausea and almost threw up in his confused state.
In this situation, going out was impossible.
If he took a long time to gather power and couldn't even see the enemy clearly at the end, missing the move entirely, that would be it.
From birth, Giratina had been fighting nonstop. First he battled the temporal twins and rubbed the two useless things into the ground.
Then Arceus's phantom appeared, deepened their authority, and Giratina fled.
Later he encountered Zygarde and ran again.
His survival up to now depended entirely on carefulness!
'Fight while under negative status? Impossible!'
Even if he died, even if he went outside and got pummeled by that big black dragon, Giratina wouldn't fight under negative status.
Suddenly, Giratina felt a wave of emptiness and froze instinctively.
Since when did Confuse Ray reduce stamina?
He looked down and was stunned.
From the very beginning, that small bit of toxin Eternatus sprinkled on him had already spread across his whole body without him noticing.
Feeling the invasion of toxic, Giratina froze, then panicked.
It was clearly just a tiny bit at the start. How did it become this big?
If he continued dragging time now, he would be the real idiot.
Giratina took a breath, staggered to his feet, and bared his teeth in Axel's direction.
Before his stamina got cut down further, he had to rush out and finish off those two.
No more pretending, he would lay all cards on the table.
He was the king of the Reverse World.
With a piercing roar, Giratina took out a huge yellow orb and slapped it hard onto his forehead.
According to the memories Arceus passed to him, as long as he used this Griseous Core in the Reverse World, he could obtain full control of the entire Reverse World.
Correspondingly, his power would become deeply bound to the Reverse World.
In that state, even if he appeared outside, part of his power would remain stuck in the Reverse World, unable to leave.
In other words, this item sacrificed his personal power to strengthen his divine authority.
Only after the Griseous Core recharged and he used it a second time could he return to normal.
He had kept himself from transforming for so long because he wanted to find a place without divine oversight and then rule it.
But now that Axel and Eternatus had chased him into the Reverse World, he couldn't hold back anymore.
The moment the Griseous Core touched his forehead, Giratina let out a satisfying, resonant roar.
His body quickly grew larger, more than half again his original size.
His once-thick six legs transformed into the form of an onychophoran, and his wings became six wings of black gas.
A violent aura surged out like a tidal wave, and every mirror in the Reverse World began to crack.
Even the toxin in his body was expelled, and all the injuries he had taken just now recovered fully.
At this moment, the Underworld King Dragon truly became the Lord of the Reverse World.
———
"Why isn't this guy coming out yet? Don't tell me he got poisoned to death?", Axel half lay on Eternatus, a bit bored, and simply took out Rotom and opened an episode of a TV drama.
Before coming here with Eternatus, Axel had expected a fierce battle or being cursed at length by Giratina.
He absolutely did not expect this guy to be so cautious.
Right after Eternatus confused him, before Axel even reacted, Giratina ran.
"Eternatus, could it be that Giratina already ran out of the Reverse World and slipped to another region?"
After speaking this thought, Axel shook his head.
Not likely. Giratina had enemies all over the world. No matter where he went, he would run into a perfect counter.
"roar!", Eternatus bared his teeth, clearly still holding a grudge.
Axel patted the little guy's head, "Don't rush. He's poisoned now, there's no way he can shake it off easily."
'The longer he drags, the more it benefits us."
"By the way, can you sustain the boosted state?", Axel asked. Pokémon maintaining continuous boosts took a huge toll on themselves.
"Roar~", Eternatus cried in a childish voice, indicating he was fine.
Axel relaxed, "Then after I finish this episode, let Gyarados use the authority of space to search around, see if we can find that guy."
"roar!"
Eternatus rubbed Axel's arm but still bared his teeth toward the distance, obviously still angry.
Suddenly, a piercing roar sounded. The mirror beneath them shattered violently.
Eternatus widened his eyes and instantly picked Axel up onto his back, watching cautiously in the direction of the sound.
The next moment, the gigantic Underworld King Dragon silhouette appeared before Axel, wrapped in countless mirror shards.
His eyes were crimson, and his entire body radiated destruction. Each breath changed the environment of the Reverse World.
Mirror shards exploded, energy surged backward, red dragon energy and black ghost energy intertwined, carving spiderweb-like cracks through space.
["Axel, I told you you would pay the price!"]
["And that filthy, shameless bone dragon."]
["To force me to this point, I shall grant you death!"]
"Hiss~", Axel blinked as Giratina's info appeared on his panel.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Held Item]: Griseous Core (When used by Giratina, greatly boosts his power and changes his form.)
[Description]: Lord of the Reverse World, capable of easily controlling the Reverse World's power.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Seeing the information, Axel couldn't help feeling a stab of toothache.
Outside he couldn't be bothered checking this guy's panel. He never expected Giratina walked out carrying the Griseous Core, his exclusive power-up item?
Well damn, today he had run into the genuine Underworld King Dragon.
