Seeing Giratina still in a daze, Axel grinned.
"Eternatus, try grabbing him."
This wasn't Axel giving random commands. He wanted to test just how strong Eternatus's physical abilities were now.
According to the Pokémon world's base stats, Eternatus after Eternamax had a total of 1125, one of the absolute highest in the entire Pokémon world.
His divine status wasn't any weaker than Giratina, the Underworld King Dragon.
At level 65, Eternatus's current physical ability should be even stronger than a maxed-out Giratina.
"ROAR!"
Hearing Axel's command, Eternatus's energy-built giant body shifted, and a huge claw formed on it, clamping Giratina inside.
The moment they made contact, the ghost energy gathered on Giratina exploded, the terrifying shockwave crashing back and forth inside Eternatus's giant claw and causing heavy damage to Giratina's body.
Grabbed by a single claw?
Only now did Giratina realize he actually wasn't Eternatus's match at all.
"Roar?", After pinching Giratina in one hand, most of Eternatus's anger from being hit earlier faded. His two eyes rolled upward to look at Axel standing on his head.
["Master, how should I beat him next, or should I just eat him?"]
"ROAR!"
Axel hadn't even responded when Giratina panicked.
His body thrashed wildly in Eternatus's grasp, trying to break free.
But everything he did was useless.
In Eternamax form, Eternatus's claws were built entirely from energy.
Every time Giratina shattered a claw, a new one formed instantly and grabbed him again.
Axel blinked, "How about we poison him?"
"Also, throw in some control skills, in case he turns the tables."
Giratina: "..."
'Turn the tables?'
'Come on then, I'll listen to you. Tell me how I'm supposed to turn this around!'
Unfortunately, Axel didn't plan to let Giratina hear him now.
'What kind of tier is this guy? He thinks he can join my team?'
The battle held no suspense. Eternatus's toxins eroded Giratina easily, and Confuse Ray kept blasting, giving Giratina no chance at a comeback.
In just a few minutes, Giratina collapsed like a dead dog, fainting after Axel muttered "so weak."
With Giratina dealt with, Eternatus condensed two arms from energy and put his hands on his hips.
"ROAR!"
["Rotom, take a picture for me! I want to show Mama Ho-Oh and Aunt Mewtwo how handsome I look!"]
Axel twitched his mouth and smacked Eternatus on the head.
"You, don't get lazy."
"This guy doesn't know how to play at all. His skill loadout isn't as good as the Giratina we caught."
"If he had opened with Curse plus Pain Split, you would've had a hard time."
"And his resistance to abnormal status is too weak. As the ruler of a world, how does he not train himself properly?"
"The moment he was hit by status moves, I felt like he could have easily formed a shield using Reverse World energy."
"Most status moves don't do damage, they're easy to block."
Axel wasn't lying. In his eyes, as long as Giratina had played properly, the chance to turn the tables was very high.
Hearing Axel's lesson, Eternatus's mouth trembled.
'As expected, when it comes to dirty tactics, my master is the master.'
What they didn't notice was that the fainted Giratina's eyelid twitched.
Right!
He was a ghost dragon. Why was he always acting like a dump truck crashing into people?
He understood now. If he survived this, he would go back and train abnormal statuses and how to dodge them.
Next time he appeared, he would be king of this world.
Even Zygarde would tremble under his crushing power.
———
["Achoo!"]
In the Eastern Sea region, a black and green dog suddenly sneezed.
This Pokémon looked like a Doberman with green hexagonal patterns on its body.
It was Zygarde (10% form), part of Zygarde, the God of Order, known for its speed.
Normally, Zygarde existed as cells scattered throughout Kalos. Once danger was detected, the cells would gather into the 10% form to investigate.
Only when battle was confirmed would his cells assemble into the full 100% God of Order form.
["Damn Giratina... cursing me again."]
Zygarde wrinkled his nose and looked toward Aurient's Xiapi City with annoyance.
He could sense Giratina's unpleasant aura having appeared there.
["Hateful guy. Kalos is already chaotic enough. Someone even wants immortality to rule Kalos forever."]
["I thought once I suppressed him, I could rest for thousands of years. But now a god from another region shows up at this time."]
["Do they think the God of Order is made of mud?"]
Compared to that king chasing immortality, Zygarde felt suppressing the god Giratina was more important.
In Zygarde's eyes, order had priorities. Clearing rogue gods came before dealing with ambitious humans.
Compared to gods, humans were insignificant.
Zygarde planned to use this form to scout first, then eliminate Giratina in one move once his location was confirmed.
Suddenly, a strange fluctuation appeared. It was faint but still caught by Zygarde.
"Huh?", He blinked. His anger toward Giratina turned into curiosity.
If he was sensing correctly, a newborn divine seed had appeared in Aurient.
And that seed didn't have Arceus's approval. It was an unstable factor.
Zygarde pondered for a moment. Then overwhelming green energy surged from afar.
In the priority list, eliminating this divine seed and handling Giratina were on the same level.
He would need to activate his 100% form.
