SFS Chapter 399: Are there two Giratina?
Chapter 399: Are there two Giratina?
"In ancient times, there were actually two Pluto Dragons in the world... namely Giratina...?"
Acerola's voice drifted down from above, tinged with uncertainty.
After she finished reading that sentence, she was stunned.
because.
Currently, there is only one Pluto Rider Radina in the world.
This is a fact acknowledged by all archaeologists, Pokémon researchers, and even within the Pokémon League.
Giratina, the master of the Reversed World, the opposite of Arceus.
Only one of its kind!
But now, this mural, which is many times older than her, tells her—there were once two?
What the hell?
Could it be that I translated it wrong?
Something's not right. It doesn't seem like a mistranslation. It's strange...
Acerola's finger froze in mid-air as she glanced down at Li Luochen below her.
From this angle, it's not very clear what Li Luochen's expression is; you can only see that his shoulders are slightly tense.
Upon hearing the information provided by Acerola, Li Luochen also sensed something was amiss.
There are actually two Ridtiana?
That makes sense, since there are two of each of Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, and Ho-Oh, it's reasonable for them to have two Giratina as well... right?
Li Luochen stood still, but his mind was racing. He subconsciously said, "Keep reading."
Acerola nodded, then looked down at the patterns.
Her fingers moved slowly along the lines, her lips slightly parted.
"Two...two Pluto dragons, one male and one female, each in charge of...each in charge of a different world?"
She read it haltingly, because the murals were old and some parts were hard to see, and she didn't recognize some of the words, so she could only guess from the context: "The male one... is in the reverse world, the female one... is..."
Her fingers stopped.
"Where?" Li Luochen asked.
Acerola did not answer immediately.
She lay prone on the patterned surface, her face almost pressed against the stone wall, her eyes wide open, reflecting the ancient symbols in her pupils.
"At...the boundary between our world and another world, it sleeps within our world. Beneath some mountain. Very deep down."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sky darkened a bit, as if clouds had drifted over and blocked the sun.
The patterns on the stone wall flickered in the last ray of light, then fell silent.
Acerola slid off Li Luochen's shoulder, stumbled when her feet touched the ground, and was caught by Li Luochen's arm.
"Brother, there's more, but I can't see it very clearly. Some of the words I don't recognize, and some parts are worn down too much. But there's one sentence I understand—"
"What?"
"The last sentence on the mural says that the female side is now asleep, and once it senses that the Star Child is growing up again and complementing each other, it will join forces with another world ruler to invade this world."
As soon as she finished speaking, Acerola fell silent.
The ruler of another world? What is that?
Acerola's head was buzzing.
She tried to find the answers in the knowledge she had acquired, the ancient books of Alora, the secrets passed down through generations of the royal family, and the myths she had read since childhood.
There doesn't seem to be a single place that mentions "the ruler of another world".
But who exactly is the ruler of the other world?
Li Luochen stood still, motionless.
His gaze fell on the stone wall, but his mind was no longer on it.
The scattered fragments of information slowly pieced together in his mind.
Ancient legends of the Sinnoh region, Giratina of the Reverse World, and ancient prophecies about light and darkness.
They were originally independent, like chess pieces scattered on a chessboard, and no one knew what the next move would be.
But now, someone has connected some of them together.
It all comes down to five words: Necrozma!
Necrozma, the legend who devoured light, the being that slumbered in darkness.
There is so little information about it that people have almost forgotten it exists.
The "Child of the Stars" naturally refers to Cosmog.
Only Cosmogs are called the Children of the Stars; only they deserve that name.
The only Pokémon that cares about Cosmog is Necrozma.
Li Luochen also had an idea in mind, and took Acerola and Lillie back.
......
......
Back home, Li Luochen quietly began to think.
Lillie's Cosmog has not yet evolved.
Meanwhile, his Cosmog had evolved into Cosmog.
These two little guys, one still in Nebula form and the other already in a hard shell, are quietly staying in their Poké Balls, waiting for some unknown moment to emerge from their cocoons.
If these two were to evolve into Solgaleo and Lunala respectively, they would definitely attract Necrozma.
That being that devours light, that "other world lord" slumbering in darkness, will sense their light and will follow it to find them.
Therefore, before ensuring that we have sufficient strength, we should try to suppress their development.
They cannot evolve, they cannot expose themselves, and they cannot let that thing become aware of their existence.
Li Luochen stopped and looked at Lillie, who was sitting in the living room: "Lillie."
"Here!" Lillie was startled, the water in her teacup sloshed, and a few drops spilled onto her skirt.
She hurriedly put down the teacup, then wiped the water stains off her skirt before placing her hands properly on her knees and looking straight at him.
"I forgot because I was in such a hurry. Now I'll take you to catch some Pokémon."
"Huh?"
Lillie was stunned.
She blinked her eyes repeatedly, as if she hadn't heard what he said, or as if she had heard it but didn't understand it.
Catching Pokémon? Her? Now?
Acerola reacted first, leaning forward to look at Li Luochen: "Me too! Me too!"
"You stay," Li Luochen said.
"Eh—why?!"
"Please organize the contents of the murals and write a report. You mentioned that there were some parts that you couldn't see clearly, so I'll take you there again later so you can take a closer look."
Acerola puffed out her cheeks, looking somewhat unwilling, but after glancing at Li Luochen's expression, she swallowed her anger.
She sat back down on the carpet, picked up a cushion, rested her chin on it, and said sullenly, "Okay... then brother should come back soon."
"Hmm." Li Luochen turned to Lillie, who was still in a daze, sitting upright with her hands on her knees, like a student being called on by the teacher in class. "Go change your clothes, we'll wait for you at the door."
"Oh... okay!"
Lillie stood up, took a couple of steps, and then looked back at him, as if to make sure he wasn't joking.
After confirming that it wasn't her, she quickened her pace and went upstairs to change her clothes.
