Pokémon: Simultaneous time travel, this Ash is too versatile

Chapter 455 The Reason: The Missing Platinum Pearl and the Crimson Sun Stepping into the Reversed Space!

"You won this match today."

"Two Divine Realm level beings, Yveltal and Giratina, have both fallen to your hands. I have never suffered such a great loss since I joined Team Galactic."

"But don't get too excited. The Galactic Team is in the shadows, and you're in the light. You can't be this lucky every time."

He paused, his voice chillingly cold: "I'll remember you, Ash. Next time we meet, I'll make you pay for everything you did today."

Then he turned and stepped into the rift, with Hades following closely behind.

The purplish light suddenly contracted, and the spatial rift exploded into a silent ripple in the air before completely dissipating without leaving a trace.

The reversed space created by the Pluto Dragon also disappeared along with Zhenxing's departure.

Giratina lay in the pit, its breathing weak but steady.

The attack from Lie Kong Zuo just now severely injured Xiu, but it also successfully freed him from the control of the Platinum Pearl.

If Platinum Jewel and that man were still present, she might not be able to escape this state.

But now, the Platinum Orb is far away in Sinnoh, and that man is not there either. So after its own power was shattered by Rayquaza, Giratina successfully escaped being controlled.

Ash slowly pushed himself up from the ground.

His wave-guiding power was almost depleted, but he has now recovered some of his strength and can move around easily. He also put Xiaomei down from his arms.

Now that there are no enemies and Xiao Mei is not threatened, he will take her back to Pallet Town after he has finished dealing with the rest of the matter.

Pikachu looked up at Ash, the worry still lingering in its eyes, its gaze seeming to ask, "Are you alright?"

Ash waved to him to indicate that he was alright, and then walked towards the giant crater that Giratina had created.

The pit was very deep, and Giratina lay at the deepest part of it, his body limp and sprawled among the rubble, the wound on his abdomen still oozing purplish-black energy.

But His eyes were clear, unlike the scarlet dragon eyes that Ash had seen in the Crystal Tower, which were filled with rage. At this moment, although His eyes were tired, they carried a sense of relief that had been suppressed for too long.

Ash crouched down at the edge of the pit, looking down at the enormous creature at the bottom, then turned and called out to Mewtwo, "Mewtwo, help me out, I'm not fully recovered yet."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Mewtwo's eyes: "If you haven't recovered, don't move around recklessly."

Even so, she still listened to Xiaozhi and used her mental power to lift him down steadily to the bottom of the pit.

Ash walked up to Giratina, its massive dragon head right in front of him, each breath carrying a chilling aura that made the hair on Ash's forehead flutter backward.

He raised his hand, and the emerald green light of the power of Eternal Light shone in his palm.

After a series of fierce battles, the power of the Everlasting Stone was mostly depleted, and its light was much weaker than before, but it still carried a vibrant life force.

He placed his palm on the edge of the wound on Giradina's abdomen and began to slowly infuse it in.

Emerald light seeped into the purplish-black wound, like spring rain seeping into cracked soil. Giratina's dragon body trembled slightly, then slowly relaxed.

This human is healing his wounds.

Just a moment ago they were mortal enemies, but now He is being healed by the other party. Did this young man realize that He was being controlled just now?

"It's alright, Giratina. I'll heal you. This wound was scary, but Rayquaza held back. It only dispersed the power within you and didn't damage your core." Ash turned to look at Giratina and met its gaze before comforting it.

He thought Giratina was worried that he would continue to harm Him, so he quickly explained.

A moment later, a deep and hoarse voice rang in Xiaozhi's mind. Although the voice was tired, it was still authoritative.

"Your name is Xiaozhi."

Ash paused for a moment, then realized it was Giratina's voice. He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm from Pallet Town—you might not know where Pallet Town is, but it's not far from here. I'm going to be a Pokémon Master someday, so you can write my name down."

Ash wasn't surprised that Giratina knew his name, after all, Giratina and Giratina had shouted it quite loudly earlier, so it wasn't strange that they knew his name. However, at this moment, he didn't forget to tell Giratina about his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master, which completely stumped Giratina.

He paused for a moment and then said: I remember.

This conversation almost caused Mewtwo to stumble. Your voice sounds incredibly majestic, and you have such a terrifying appearance, yet your answers sound like those of a simpleton.

Do you even understand what's going on? You just escaped human control, and now you're talking to humans so easily?

However, on the other hand, Ash's words—well, they do have an inexplicable charm. Not to mention that Giratina's regaining of its freedom is largely due to Ash, and given that Ash is currently healing Giratina, it's not unreasonable for Giratina to lower its guard against Ash.

Ash grinned, still healing Giratina, and asked, "How are you feeling now?"

Fortunately, your power is very useful to me. The immense vitality it contains can heal even beings of my level. I will be able to move again in a little while.

Although Ash's Viridian Power has not yet reached its highest level, in terms of quality, it is no less than Xerneas's life force.

This power is enough to heal even someone at the peak of the divine realm.

After all, His essence was not damaged. The wound looked frightening, but it only temporarily immobilized Him. The immense vitality of a divine beast is no joke.

As long as the source remains, life will never perish.

"That's good—may I ask you a question?"

What's the problem?

"How did Team Galactic manage to control you?" Ash finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

He was already surprised when he saw the Plutonium. Why could Team Galactic control even Giratina, who was at the peak of Asgard? Just recently, they could only briefly use Yveltal's power to control Lugia.

That power has already dissipated, and the current power should be the last bit of Yveltal's original power in the hands of Team Galactic.

Giratina was not controlled by this power, because Ash did not sense any death force on Giratina, and Giratina was different from Lugia.

Yveltal's power was able to inflict such a terrible fate on Lugia because they not only shared the same Flying-type origin, but also because the Dark-type power was extremely effective against Lugia, which is why Lugia was initially controlled.

Although Giratina's power was also suppressed, even a high-level Divine Realm expert cannot be controlled by a little bit of Divine Realm essence. Even if Yveltal himself came, he would not be able to control Giratina.

So what methods did Team Galaxy use?

Giratina remained silent for a moment, a complex emotion surging in its crimson dragon eyes, as if it were recalling something.

Ash didn't urge him on; he simply continued to channel the power of Viridian into the wound.

The emerald light flickered in the deep pit, like fireflies in the night.

Platinum Jewel.

Giratina finally spoke.

That was one of the powers Arceus gave me when I was sent to the Reverse World. It allowed me to control the Reverse World, change my form, and make me stronger than ordinary God-level beings.

From the day I was given the responsibility of protecting the reversed world, it has always been with me, connected to the primal power within my body, and completely integrated into my body.

Ash looked up, a hint of confusion on his face: "Could it be that Team Galactic has fallen into the hands of the Platinum Orb?"

Giratina looked up at Ash, a hint of surprise in its crimson eyes: How did you know?

"I have a rough idea. Since you mentioned the Platinum Orb, it means that your being controlled must be related to the Platinum Orb. In that case, it is highly likely that the orb has fallen into the hands of Team Galactic."

That's right, it's because of the Platinum Orb that I was controlled by Team Galactic.

"How did that thing end up in Team Galactic's hands? Wasn't it fused into your body? How did it suddenly end up in Team Galactic's possession?"

"I don't know." Giratina's voice carried a heavy sense of helplessness.

The inverted world has no sun or moon, no seasons. I stayed there for far too long, so long that I can't even remember when I last left.

"One day, the platinum jewel suddenly disappeared from me. It was either taken away, stolen, or vanished into thin air."

I searched every floating island and every void in the Reverse World, for a long time, but I still couldn't find it.

I want to go out and search. But I can't leave the Reverse World; it's my duty. Unless absolutely necessary, I must stay in the Reverse World to maintain the balance between it and the real world.

Giratina continued, her voice tinged with doubt and anger: "One day, something that shouldn't have appeared appeared in the Inverted World."

Those were traces of spatial distortion, very faint, but the entire Reverse World was under my control. Even without the Platinum Orb, I was still the master of the Reverse Space, so I naturally noticed it.

I followed the trail through space to the place where I had sensed the anomaly. The man stood outside the cave entrance, dressed in silver-gray clothes, holding a small device in his hand. From that device, I sensed—the power of the Platinum Orb!

Ash narrowed his eyes slightly; this sounded like he was listening to gibberish.

A being at the pinnacle of the divine realm, or even surpassing the peak of ordinary divine realms, suddenly lost his primordial artifacts. Not long after, a human arrived in the world under his control, carrying the primordial artifacts.

It sounds like that man's abilities are terrifyingly powerful, and the fact that he dared to come to the Reversal Space alone shows that he was fully prepared.

If nothing unexpected happens, that man should be the leader of Team Galactic!

Only the leader of Team Galactic would have that kind of courage.

I asked him how he obtained the Platinum Orb and who he was. His answer was, "Red Sun, the leader of Team Galactic, Red Sun."

Red Sun — Is that the name of the leader of Team Galactic?

Although there may be more than one person in the world named Chi Ri, having a name at all provides some clues.

He said that the Platinum Jewel was in his possession, and he needed to use the power of the Platinum Jewel and my power to create a new world without strife.

Giratina's voice carried a hint of sarcasm.

I think he's insane. A human, wielding a power he shouldn't even possess, stands at the entrance to a reversed world, talking to me about creating a new world.

I decided to take him down first, retrieve the Platinum Jewel, and then find out the whole story.

At this point, Giratina's face showed an expression that even Ash could understand—an emotion called anger!

As I rushed over, Akari sighed, seemingly disappointed by my lack of cooperation, and then activated the device in his hand.

The power of the Platinum Orb surged from the device, distorted by some technology I couldn't comprehend, and then drilled into my body like countless nails, each one driven into my consciousness.

From that day on, I became that man's puppet.

This is the whole process of how Giratina was controlled, and how should I put it—it's rather simple and straightforward.

Aside from the fact that the Platinum Pearl somehow ended up in Chi Ri's hands, his other actions can no longer be described as simply being brave but reckless.

Humans are good at wisdom but not strength. Although humans do not have the great power of Pokémon, they have created Poké Balls through their wisdom and research, and even created many things that can control Pokémon by relying on their power.

Lugia suffered a great loss back then, but at that time Lugia had just emerged from the sea and had no idea what was happening, which is why it was controlled.

Giratina was different. Someone appeared before him with the Origin Orb that had suddenly disappeared, and even made a bold statement about using this power to create a new world.

People who can say such things are either fools or truly ruthless individuals with real strength. Chi Ri is clearly not the former, given that he was able to come to the Reversal Space.

If Giratina had simply left back then, he might have had a chance to escape, but instead he took the initiative to come looking for him.

However, this cannot be blamed on Giratina. After all, compared to tiny humans, the power of these legendary Pokémon is simply too great. Crushing a human is easier for them than a human crushing an ant.

Under such circumstances, how could Giratina possibly be wary?

"Red Sun, right? I understand. I'll ask Cynthia and the others to look for this person. Leave the rest to me, Giratina. What are you planning to do next?" Ash slowly withdrew the power of Viridian.

Giratina's wounds have healed considerably, and although they are not fully recovered, he can already move around.

The Red Sun problem needs to be considered in the long term. The problem we need to deal with now is—what should we do with Giratina?
