Let you make a game, what the hell is Pokemon?.

Chapter 287 Facing Giratina, Another Fragment of the Stone Tablet!
That said, if a physicist were standing here, he would probably feel that his entire worldview had collapsed at this moment.

Everything here is upside down—not just the enormous geometric buildings floating in the air, but even the light here is reversed.

The sunlight, which should have been falling from above, was instead shooting out from the abyss beneath their feet, shooting straight up into the purplish-red sky.

Even more outrageous is...
Ling Feng could clearly feel the airflow, but the wind was blowing in the opposite direction.

It didn't brush against his face, but rather felt as if countless invisible hands were tugging at his clothes and hair, trying to pull him into the sky.

This intense feeling of weightlessness and disorientation forced him to devote a large portion of his energy to maintaining his balance.

But what truly unsettled him wasn't these illogical natural phenomena, but rather the strange shadows he noticed around him.

Near those inverted, massive stone pillars and spires, some blurry figures were moving about.

No, it's not just people, it's Pokémon too.

They are walking on the surfaces of those buildings.

That's right, it's walking.

Even though the buildings were suspended upside down in the air, they moved steadily, as if gravity had no effect on them at all. Ling Feng squinted, trying to see clearly what those things were.

As he gazed at them, the shadows seemed to become clearer.

Although those shadows had the outlines of humans and Pokémon, they had no faces. Where there should have been facial features, there was only a smooth gray-white area, exuding an indescribable eeriness and deathly stillness.

Moreover, these faceless shadows were not still; they were busy in the upside-down world. Some were carrying something, while others were looking around. Although Ling Feng couldn't see their expressions, he could still feel a strong sense of oppression.

This is definitely a reversed world, no doubt.

Just as he was struggling to adapt to this upside-down world and his mind was racing to come up with a solution, an extremely strong sense of being watched suddenly struck him.

The feeling was very vivid, as if I were being watched by some terrifying being.

He suddenly raised his head and looked up at the sky.

Within those swirling, crimson clouds, something seemed to be there.

Soon, he could see clearly that it was a huge phantom.

Moreover, this thing looks exactly like the dark shadow that just crawled out of that coffin!
It also has a dragon-like body and a pair of huge wings.

However, Ling Feng soon noticed the difference.

The unseen figure before me had its eyes closed.

Moreover, the aura emanating from it was completely different from that of the violent and murderous creature in the coffin.

This phantom was more profound, more ancient, and possessed a majesty that compelled one to bow down in reverence.

The feeling was as if he were facing a true king, a god who ruled this dimension.

Ling Feng's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

Because he had just suddenly realized something very important—if the one in the coffin really was Giratina, then his Pokédex should have already given him a hint.

But just now, in front of that coffin, my system panel didn't show any activity.

Therefore, that couldn't have been Giratina.

But things are different now.

Just as he looked up at the phantom, the familiar system notification sound finally rang in his mind.

[We have encountered the god of the Reversal World—Giratina!]

The line of gold text danced on my retina, appearing particularly glaring.

The illusory figure with its eyes closed before you is the real Giratina!
The aura emanating from this phantom was exactly the same as the one I felt from the ancient mural.

Just as he was thinking rapidly, the phantom in the sky suddenly moved.

—It slowly opened its eyes.

His blood-red pupils were as deep as a bottomless abyss, and that red gaze lightly landed on Ling Feng.

In that instant, Ling Feng felt as if he had been completely seen through.

All secrets, all thoughts, seemed to have nowhere to hide before this gaze.

Immediately afterwards, a deep and magnetic voice resounded directly in his heart, carrying a terrifying sense of authority.

"Humans..."

The sound rang out again, echoing throughout the entire space.

“I am the Lord of Reversal. State your name.”

Ling Feng took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any hostility.

Otherwise, if Guilong wanted to make a move, he would have been reduced to ashes long ago.

Furthermore, the other person took the initiative to ask for my name, which means we have something to talk about.

Although the oppressive feeling emanating from the other party was more than ten times more terrifying than that in the coffin, as long as communication was possible, it was a good thing.

That being said, we must still proceed with caution...

Ling Feng exhaled, trying to make his voice sound as steady as possible.

"Hello, my name is Ling Feng."

He responded verbally, but his mind was constantly working on his thoughts.

Now that we've encountered a real Giratina, we must quickly find out more about him.

Knowing yourself and your enemy doesn't guarantee victory in every battle, but it's beneficial in this situation.

With a thought, he quickly activated the Mythical Beast Encyclopedia function.

Countless golden pages flipped rapidly through my mind, and information about various legendary Pokémon flashed by.

His goal was clear: the page on Giratina.

Soon, the golden page stopped. It displayed Giratina's basic information.

However, most of the key information is obscured by a fog, making it impossible to see clearly—this is all paid content.

A system notification popped up immediately.

[Viewing detailed information will deduct 5,000 emotion points. Do you want to use it?]

Ling Feng felt a pang of heartache.

Five thousand points?
This system is so shady! It's practically taking advantage of someone's misfortune!

Last time I checked, the price for a Broken Sky Flame was around 2,000, but this time it's 5,000.

But thinking about it carefully, Giratina's prestige is indeed much higher than Skybreaker's, so it's normal that it's more expensive.

I can't worry about anything else, I'll use it!
As five thousand emotion points were instantly deducted, the fog obscuring the information finally dissipated, and detailed information about Giratina appeared before his eyes.

Ling Feng scanned the area quickly, afraid of missing any crucial information.

[Name: Giratina.]

[Identity: Ruler of the Reversed World, God of Breakthrough.]

[Favorite things: Darkness, the respect he receives from people and Pokémon, and interesting new things.]

[Things I Dislike: Seals, rude humans, combat.] [Current Affection Level: None]

Seeing this, Ling Feng was stunned for a moment.

This personality... is actually like this?
In his mind, Giratina should be the kind of person who is aloof and detached from worldly affairs, or the kind of person with a violent temper who is always ready to destroy the world.

I never expected this dog's preferences to be so... down-to-earth?

Do you enjoy being respected and also like interesting new things?

What surprised him most was that this guy actually hated fighting?

However, now that we know the other person's preferences, things will be much easier.

Ling Feng quickly coughed lightly to adjust his state.

His expression shifted to politeness, and he respectfully asked:
"I wonder why the esteemed Giratina summoned me here? And where is this bustling and peculiar space?"

—A question I already know the answer to.

These words had an immediate effect. The suffocating oppressive aura that had been surrounding Giratina's phantom actually subsided somewhat.

Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the information from the Mythical Beast Encyclopedia is quite accurate; this guy really falls for it.

He won't act rashly as long as he's polite.

Although the red gaze was still fixed on him, the stinging sensation had lessened considerably.

Giratina's voice echoed in his mind once more.

I brought you here. I have a favor to ask of you.

Ling Feng's heart skipped a beat.

The other party pulled me over because they wanted something from me?

However, what can I do to help this god who reverses the world?

Although he was puzzled, he didn't show it on his face, maintaining a relaxed and natural demeanor, and casually said:
"Why did you choose me? There was another trainer named Will over there just now. His strength should be far superior to mine. If you need help, it might be more suitable to ask him?"

Ling Feng's question was very tactful and polite.

He was indeed curious. Will was a top-tier champion with several powerful Pokémon, and in terms of strength, he was definitely much stronger than him.

Giratina did not answer immediately.

It merely raised one paw slightly.

Before Ling Feng could react to what it was going to do, he sensed a spatial fluctuation.

Immediately afterwards, a seven-colored light flew out directly from Ling Feng's pocket.

Those are Phoenix King's feathers!
The feather he always carried with him was now emitting a soft glow, hovering in mid-air.

Giratina looked at the feather, a different emotion creeping into his voice.

To gain that person's approval, you are no ordinary person.

Ling Feng suddenly realized.

So that's why it was because of this feather!
It seems that Giratina knows Ho-Oh, and judging from its tone, their relationship doesn't seem bad. This suggests that Giratina's relationship with other legendary Pokémon is probably not bad either, and it may even know them.

This is a good thing.

However, before he could ask a few more questions about Ho-Oh, Giratina's voice became serious again.

To make a long story short, I need you to help me take down that scum who dares to act in my name.

I cannot leave this place, therefore I need your help.

Ling Feng was taken aback, then suddenly realized what was happening.

A fake? That must refer to the dark figure that crawled out of the coffin.

But should we take it down...?
The problem has come full circle, and it has actually returned to the original key point.

He had already seen the strength of that phantom. Even the phantom of the Phoenix summoned by Marshall could only barely repel its first attack, and later it was completely unable to resist and could only run away with them.

But before he could say anything, Giratina's voice rang out again.

[If you can help me rid myself of that filth, I promise you a place in this reversed world. You will be granted the right to reside here and enjoy my protection.]

That does sound quite tempting.

They are protected by mythical beasts and can live in a magical place like the Reverse World...
What the hell!
Ling Feng glanced to the side instinctively. He saw the faceless shadows walking on the upside-down buildings.

The figures of those shadows were indistinct, without facial features, exuding a sense of deathly stillness and eeriness.

Living here, having these things as neighbors every day, would be terrifying!
Moreover, the laws of physics are reversed in this place; if you live here for too long, your brains will probably ooze out of your ears.

Besides, once I enter the reversed world, will I become like these shadows?
Maybe we should just forget about this seat.

Ling Feng felt a chill run down his spine; he couldn't possibly accept such good fortune.

Just as he was racking his brains, trying to figure out how to express his thoughts in a way that would neither offend the other party nor offend them, Giratina seemed to see through his thoughts.

A hint of amusement flashed in those red eyes; they didn't seem surprised by Ling Feng's refusal.

What? You don't want to?

Ling Feng was about to explain when Giratina waved its paw, interrupting him.

Alternatively, I could give you something else.

As it finished speaking, it gently waved its other paw. A jet-black object appeared out of thin air and slowly floated in front of Ling Feng.

The object was small, only about the size of a palm, and irregularly fragmented. But the aura emanating from it was very peculiar. It was a pure, extreme aura of darkness, but this darkness was not evil; instead, it gave people a very peaceful and mysterious feeling.

Before Ling Feng could take a closer look, the system notification in front of him started flashing frantically again.

This time, the notification box is pure gold, just like before, making it particularly eye-catching.

[Legendary item discovered!]

[Fragment of the Arceus Tablet - The Ghost!]

Ling Feng felt a sudden boom in his mind.

Another fragment of the Arceus Slate?!

Moreover, unlike the one I obtained in the Second World, this thing's attributes match those of my two current Pokémon: Ghost-type!

Although it is also a fragment, this piece looks much more complete than the previous one, and the aura and power it exudes are also much stronger, indicating that it is in better condition.

If this part needs to be repaired, the difficulty will probably be reduced considerably.

That's right, this is the real gem! It's way more attractive than any right to reside in a reversed world!

Giratina looked at Ling Feng and spoke again.

"This item was obtained by me in the first battle and contains the power of the ghost's origin. As long as you agree to that condition, this item is yours, and it will be of great benefit to your companions."

Faced with such conditions, Ling Feng naturally did not hesitate at all.

He himself wanted to find a way to solve the problem of the spirit world, which was consistent with Giratina's request.

But
The problem remains the same.

How could I possibly beat that guy?
