A brilliant white light erupted in the Reverse World, forming chains that enveloped Natsu and Gengar.
A violent gust of wind howled past, making Ash and the others stare in shock.
"That's... incredible emotional energy!" Professor Newton gulped.
The Trio gritted their teeth, clutching their Poké Balls.
"owth, go help the Executive!" Jas shouted.
"M-owth can't battle, ow!" owth wailed.
"Wobbuffet, I choose you!" Jessie hurled her Poké Ball.
Wobbuffet broke out in a cold sweat but still shielded Jessie and the others, trembling.
At the sa mont, the light faded.
ga Gengar erged—its eyes blood-red, body covered in jagged spikes, a third eye open on its forehead, its lower half subrged in shadows. It bared its fangs in a vicious grin.
"GENGAR!!"
Darkness surged like a storm, lashing against Giratina. The Renegade Pokémon flapped its wings, evading the encroaching shadows.
"ga Gengar's Shadow Tag can affect even Giratina to so extent... Wait!"
Professor Newton's eyes widened as he spotted the Pokémon beside Natsu. His voice shook. "Th-that's—"
"The Mythical Pokémon of shadows—Marshadow?!"
Marshadow clenched its tiny fists and shot toward the levitating Giratina, unleashing a barrage of rapid punches!
"Marshadow Marshadow!!"
Each strike sent ripples across Giratina's energy shield, cracks spreading through its armor.
Giratina's cold eyes glead as its spiked tail whipped toward Marshadow, slamming the small fighter into floating debris.
BOOM!
At the sa ti, ga Gengar finished gathering Dark Void in its claws, shadows swirling violently before it hurled the attack at Giratina!
"Giratina!" Giratina showed rare hesitation, vanishing into the shadows to evade the spiraling vortex.
A second later—
CRACK!
Giratina reappeared behind Gengar, shattering ga Gengar's Protect barrier with a single strike!
Shadow Force!
"Marshadow!!" Marshadow cried out, flas igniting in its eyes as its body erupted in yellow-green fire.
Full Power For—activated!
BOOM!!
A golden aura burst from Marshadow as it shot skyward, seven radiant orbs materializing around it.
One after another, the orbs bombarded Giratina, shaking its energy shield violently!
Giratina's eyes burned crimson as it gathered energy, firing a massive Shadow Ball in retaliation!
The shockwave rocketed toward Natsu and the others.
"Wobbuffet, Counter!" Jessie commanded.
"Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet's Mirror Coat flashed, deflecting the attack back!
Natsu's eye twitched.
You are worthy of it, Berry God!
"We have to hold out until dawn," Ash muttered, clutching the trembling Shaymin. "At least another hour!"
Natsu's expression darkened—until he sensed a familiar energy. His head snapped up.
A rift tore open in the void, revealing a shadowy figure.
White mist swirled as Darkrai floated into view, its red scarf billowing.
Natsu: "The hell? You ca?"
Darkrai roared: "I didn't think you'd actually piss off sothing like this!!"
No ti for greetings. Darkrai ford a swirling Dark Void and clashed head-on with Giratina.
The resulting shockwave quaked through the entire Reverse World. Professor Newton staggered.
Just who... is this Mr. Natsu?!
Commanding three shadow-type powerhouses at once—standing against the ruler of the Reverse World itself!
CRASH!
Darkrai was sent flying, smashing through floating rubble before wiping its mouth.
"Not bad, Giratina."
Its blue eyes flared as it lunged back into battle.
Outside, Brock and Flint finally located a rift entrance.
The mont they stepped onto a floating platform, they froze at the sight before them—
Natsu-sensei, standing alone before Giratina.
Above him, Darkrai, ga Gengar, and Full Power Marshadow fought in perfect sync, holding back the enraged deity.
"What kind of monster IS Natsu-sensei?!" Flint's eye twitched wildly.
"He's actually suppressing Giratina?!"
"And still protecting everyone else..." Brock's gaze swept over Wobbuffet, Ash, and Team Rocket before understanding dawned.
Because he has companions watching his back...
That's why Natsu-sensei could fight without restraint!
Deafening explosions echoed around Marshadow.
It had completely forgotten its role as Examiner, lost in the rhythm of battle—punch after punch, reveling in the clash of power.
"Marshadow!!" Marshadow clenched its fists, yellow-green flas erupting in its eyes.
At that exact mont, a brilliant rainbow light burst from Natsu's pocket!
"Marshadow?" Marshadow blinked, looking down at the Dim Rainbow Wing in its grasp.
Wait... didn't I already steal the Rainbow Wing?
Natsu held up the glowing feather with an apologetic smile: "That was a decoy. I let you take it. This is the real one."
Marshadow: "..."
Then—with a furious roar, it charged at Giratina.
I acknowledge you!
You magnificent, scheming Rainbow Hero!!
The Rainbow Wing's radiance intensified as sunlight pierced the Reverse World's gloom—dawn had arrived.
"It's morning..." Ash murmured.
The timid Shaymin sniffed the beautiful Gracidea flower, suddenly enveloped in pure white light.
"Evolution light?" Team Rocket gasped in unison.
"During dayti, Shaymin evolves into its Sky For," Professor Newton explained. "Filled with gratitude, it becos brave... unstoppable."
"And if there's anything worth being thankful for—"
His eyes moved from Natsu's back to Darkrai, Marshadow, and ga Gengar. He smiled.
"—it's the courage and bonds between Trainers!"
Now.
Rainbow Hero.
Natsu tightened his grip on the Rainbow Wing, looking up at Sky For Shaymin.
"Shaymin will fix everything!" the now-graceful Pokémon declared.
"Then we're counting on you," Natsu echoed playfully.
Darkrai roared: "HURRY UP! I CAN'T HOLD FOREVER!"
"Marshadow!" Marshadow shouted.
Brilliant light flooded the Reverse World as the Trainers' courage and bonds manifested—tearing open a new path.
Natsu commanded: "SHAYMIN, SEED FLARE!!"
Purifying light engulfed the Reverse World.
Hatred, rage, hostility... all negative emotions were absorbed by Shaymin as Giratina's eyes gradually cleared.
Then—
Shaymin converted that darkness into a radiant Seed Flare, blasting open an exit!
Sunlight poured through.
For a mont, complete silence.
Natsu stood silhouetted against the light, his elongated shadow splitting into three distinct forms—Gengar, Marshadow, and Darkrai standing guard behind him.
He turned around and said slowly, "It's solved."
"I, Natsu-sensei, solved it." Natsu patted his shoulder and smiled.
"NATSU-SENSEI'S THE BEST!!" Ash barreled into him for a tackle-hug.
"Shaymin~!" Shaymin twirled joyfully in midair as the group collectively exhaled in relief.
Giratina floated silently, studying the remarkable Trainer before finally dipping its head.
『My apologies, human.』
"How about an apology massage? Er—I an, Aura of Ripple?" Natsu offered.
The legendary Pokémon stiffened—then shuddered as the energy took effect.
『...This is unexpectedly pleasant.』
『I shall return you to your world.』
Its gaze shifted to the tiny Shaymin:
『My thanks, little one.』
"Shaymin has beco brave too!" Shaymin chirped.
Darkrai shot Natsu a glare. "This better be worth seven... no, eight cans of Pokéblocks!"
Natsu raised an eyebrow. "I am grateful though. How about so Gracidea flowers as thanks?"
Darkrai lifted its chin haughtily. "Hmph. It was nothing."
"I told you before, even if it were Arceus..." Darkrai's voice trailed off as it suddenly closed its mouth.
No way... Surely he wouldn't actually summon Arceus...
Marshadow had returned to its normal condition. It stared at the radiant Rainbow Wing in Natsu's hand.
So... Lord Ho-Oh has acknowledged him.
Then my duty as Examiner ends here—
Natsu placed a hand on Marshadow's head. "Let's get out of here first."
Marshadow looked up, blinked its large eyes, and gave a small nod.
『Human.』
Giratina turned its gaze to Natsu.
『There is one more matter requiring your assistance.』
Natsu froze montarily as the distant sound of shattering glaciers reached his ears.
eting Giratina's eyes, understanding dawned on Natsu.
"Then let's make an equivalent exchange," Natsu said.
After hearing Natsu's proposal, Giratina's expression beca complicated before it reluctantly nodded...
...
Outside, in the Gracidea fields.
The exit from the Reverse World opened as Ash and the others erged first.
"What's Natsu-sensei discussing with Giratina?" Ash wondered aloud.
"No idea," Brock shook his head.
Flint was about to speak when his eyes suddenly widened. He pointed a trembling finger at the portal.
"L-look!!"
From the mirror-like rift, Giratina erged—its black-red wings spread majestically as it soared into the sky.
A human figure rode upon the back of the Reverse World's ruler, heading straight for Mount Coronet.
"Is that... Natsu-sensei?!" Brock's eyes flew open in shock.
"Why is the Executive riding Giratina?!" Team Rocket huddled together in panic.
"Don't tell ... he actually caught Giratina too?!" Professor Newton's jaw dropped.
Golden sunlight bathed the scene—Giratina, Natsu, and the sea of flowers glowing brilliantly.
The group stood transfixed, expressions shifting between awe, shock, and wonder.
In the distance, glaciers rumbled as a crimson light pulsed from Snowpoint Temple.
...
Under clear skies, the platinum-colored Giratina flew through the mortal world.
Natsu clung to its back, his clothes flapping wildly as he surveyed the landscape below.
"Kinda afraid of heights here..." Natsu muttered, tightening his grip unconsciously.
Giratina's eyes flickered as it spoke solemnly:
『The Reverse World's instability is affecting reality. The glaciers near Mount Coronet will collapse... I cannot ignore this.』
This matched the movie's plot exactly—Natsu-sensei had ntally prepared for this scenario.
Natsu nodded, then couldn't resist asking: "So... did you actually beat Dialga or what?"
Giratina's expression darkened.
『Once this is resolved, I'll make it pay.』
Typical Sinnoh Legendary drama!
"Mind pretending you never t when that happens...?" Natsu asked sheepishly.
Giratina: ?
Mount Coronet lood ahead in seconds.
Though not their destination, they streaked past the towering peak.
Elite Four Aaron, riding his ancient Yanga, did a double-take at the sight.
"Am I hallucinating?" He rubbed his eyes vigorously.
Lucian looked up sharply, battle instincts flaring—until he recognized the figures.
"Holy—! That's our Natsu-sensei for you!"
Giratina's overwhelming aura sent every wild Pokémon on the mountain trembling.
Cynthia paused mid-step when the shadow passed overhead. Her sharp eyes widened slightly.
Then—
She saw him. The trainer riding the Renegade Pokémon.
For a long mont, the Champion simply stared, lips parted in quiet surprise.
Finally, a knowing smile curved her lips.
"I told you, grandmother. He could do it."
Cynthia whispered to the wind.
"Because he's Natsu."
...
Natsu-sensei rembered - in the movie "Giratina and the Sky Warrior", the glaciers near Mount Coronet were collapsing due to the Reverse World's influence.
This was exactly why Natsu and Giratina were now racing toward the snow-capped mountains.
Compared to the Temporal and Spatial Dragons, at least Giratina had a stronger sense of responsibility.
Mount Coronet Range, Snowpoint Temple.
Brandon wiped his brow in relief as he supervised the temple's restoration work.
Just a few more days and the repairs would be complete...
Suddenly, the entire temple shook violently.
Responding to the impending glacier collapse, the Stone Orb emitted a crimson beam - Regigigas was awakening again!!
Brandon stared dumbfounded as Snowpoint Temple crumbled, muttering:
"Well, shit..."
Then he spotted a familiar figure riding atop a dark golden beast approaching through the sky.
"N-Natsu-sensei?!" Brandon stamred.
Natsu directed Giratina to land, waving cheerfully. "Fancy eting you here, Mr. Brandon!"
"You... I..." Brandon's eyes darted between Natsu and Giratina. "This Pokémon is..."
Brandon: "Uh..Uh..Uh..Uh..Uh.."
Giratina's crimson eyes locked onto the awakened Regigigas.
Even the Renegade Pokémon sensed a threat from the Colossal Pokémon.
Should they battle... or focus on stopping the disaster first...
As Giratina hesitated,
Natsu had already approached Regigigas, casually using Aura of Ripple.
Giratina's jaw dropped as the tallic giant turned, its signal lights flashing wildly before giving a friendly head scratch.
"Regigigas—"
Natsu smiled up at the 30-foot-tall titan. "Long ti no see."
Giratina froze.
Wait... didn't I bring you here to stop the glaciers?
Why are you two so familiar?! Like old friends reunited!
Natsu turned and waved to Giratina. "Don't worry! Regigigas can handle this!"
"Regigigas—"
Regigigas' lights flashed as it offered its massive palm to Natsu, nodding respectfully at Giratina.
Giratina: "..."
Why did this feel... oddly bitter?
CRASH!
An enormous glacier ca bearing down. Natsu stood atop Regigigas' head as an energy shield ford around them.
Natsu's heart raced.
My childhood dream... piloting a giant ch... is coming true today!
BOOM!!
Regigigas planted its massive hands against the advancing glacier.
Regigigas planted its massive hands against the advancing glaciers, halting their deadly march!
Giratina flapped its wings, hovering above the ice flow as its shadowy power ford a protective barrier around Natsu.
CRRRREEEAK!
Even the Continental Pokémon's trendous strength couldn't completely stop the glaciers - it was being forced back inch by inch.
From his perch atop Regigigas' head, Natsu employed a Trainer's ultimate skill—
"Hold on, Regigigas!"
"Regigigas!!" The titan's signal lights flashed wildly as its hands dug into the ice, feet plowing deep furrows in the ground.
Suddenly, thunderous footsteps echoed across the plains.
Sensing the natural disaster, countless wild Pokémon sward from Mount Coronet, forming a living dam against the advancing ice!
The crisis was averted.
Aaron, Bertha and Lucian collectively exhaled, turning on news broadcasts for answers.
"Breaking news: Snowpoint glaciers suddenly collapsing! Legendary giant awakened!!"
The live feed showed a reckless reporter standing before the advancing ice wall.
"We can see Regigigas holding back the glacier... and what's this? There appears to be a Trainer commanding it!!"
"What's that Pokémon? Dark gold with massive wings... is that creature also obeying that Trainer?!"
Brandon watched from the plains, utterly awestruck.
Giratina. Regigigas.
Both heeding Natsu-sensei's commands?
"They say Natsu-sensei once stopped the Temporal and Spatial Dragons single-handedly at Alamos Town..."
Brandon murmured. "Now... I believe it."
ROOOOAR!
The glaciers finally halted before a winding river. Regigigas stood triumphant, backed by a breathtaking flower field.
"Shaymin~~"
Swarms of Shaymin danced through the blossoms in their Migration Dance, leaving everyone spellbound.
"So beautiful..." Ash whispered.
From Regigigas' head, Natsu locked eyes with Giratina hovering above and smiled.
The Renegade Pokémon nodded solemnly before diving into the river's reflection, returning to the Reverse World.
Exhausted, Natsu collapsed into Regigigas' giant palm as it gently lowered him.
"Regigigas—" The titan's lights pulsed.
"No need for thanks."
Natsu chuckled weakly before flopping into the flower field with a contented sigh.
"I've never been good at accepting gratitude anyway..."
A magnificent rainbow arched across the landscape - bridging flowers, glaciers, river, and ruins.
Far above, a rainbow-hued figure soared across the heavens, scattering glittering light.
Marshadow observed the courageous, powerful, ingenious Rainbow Hero...
"Marshadow!" Marshadow allowed itself a small smile.
Congratulations, Rainbow Hero.
"Not bad... for a human." Darkrai floated beside Natsu.
"Aren't you returning to Alamos Town?" Natsu side-eyed it.
"Obviously." Darkrai sniffed. "Just ca to help... Five cans of Pokéblocks seems fair?"
Natsu: "Get lost!"
Darkrai: "(ˉ▽￣～) Whatever. Guess I'll help you again soti."
Natsu's expression turned complicated.
A familiar chi echoed in his ears.
