Chapter 70 The Gift from the Pluto Dragon

Pillar of Spears.

This is the summit of Mt. Coronet, the place where, according to the Sinnoh legend, Arceus, the goat, created the world. Ancient people, inspired by this legend, built a shrine here called the "Sinnoh Temple."

But later, for some unknown reason, it became dilapidated and turned into what is now known as the "Pillar of Spears".

The original top of the Sinnoh Temple had also vanished, leaving only ruins. The Roman columns appeared intact from below, but their tops looked as if they had been sharpened, revealing "spearheads."

The smell in the air is a dull, so-called "ancient smell," but it's actually just the smell of mold and accumulated dust.

Ze Shu looked around.

The strangest thing is that snow never falls on this spear pillar—outside the spear pillar, snow is swirling and covering the ground; inside the spear pillar, there is not a single snowflake.

In this way, the silly Weavile that had run into the Spear Pillar to hide was now completely exposed to Zeki.

The Weavile, hiding behind a pillar and meeting Ze Shu's gaze, remained silent.

Finding me so easily makes my stealth skills seem silly...

"Twist and match—!!"

But then Manneken Pis's expression hardened, and it stretched out its sharp claws, pointing them at Ze Shu!

do not care!

It wants a duel!

It is determined to avenge its previous defeat!

Without waiting for Ze Shu's reaction, the Weavile pushed off with its feet and charged toward him at an extremely high speed, its sharp claws still gleaming coldly.

Ze Shu: "..."

No, what do you want to avenge yourself, you thief?

Seeing that the Weavile was almost upon him, Ze Shu turned slightly to the side, intending to dodge it casually and then kick it to the ground.

Glaceon also planned to deliver a freezing beam to this overconfident Weavile.

But suddenly...

boom!

The sound, like shattering glass or tearing brocade, resounded in the hearts of all the creatures on the pillar of spears.

Suddenly, pressure arose, as if a shadow was looming over us.

Because of this, the Mavira, who was charging forward with great momentum, stumbled and hit her head on the ground.

But because he was going too fast, he couldn't stop in time. With the screeching sound of his sharp claws scraping the ground, he stopped right at Ze Shu's feet, as if he was offering his head to Ze Shu to step on.

Ze Shu: "..."

But he had no time to pay attention to the weasel; he kicked it away so it wouldn't be able to launch another sneak attack.

He first turned to the Snow Child and found that it looked uncomfortable and that black energy was beginning to emanate from its body. He quickly picked it up and found that the symptoms were not serious. He then frowned and looked up at the sky above the pillar of spears.

The once clear sky seemed to have been torn open, revealing a corner of darkness surging within.

A black and gold figure was also moving around inside. Perhaps its body was too large, and the 'torn opening' was too small, so only a part of its body could be seen.

After a few adjustments, most of its head emerged from it.

This head is gray, black, and gold.

Beneath the golden half-ring helmet, a pair of bright red eyes peered out.

Without a doubt, this is Giratina. Commonly known as the Giratina, the king of the Distortion World after its banishment, the shadow behind Sinnoh…

It's about "rebelling against Pokémon," and who are they rebelling against? Without a doubt, it's sheep... hmm.

At this point, the pressure increased further.

The managra that Ze Shu had kicked far away was trembling violently, almost to the point of hitting its head on the ground and wetting its pants.

But Ze Shu's face looks somewhat strange.

Because he noticed that the way Giratina looked at him was so complicated.

In that look, there was grievance, resentment, nostalgia, and even a hint of outrageous indignation. Ze Shu didn't know how he could see a pie chart in a Pokémon's eyes.

"Buyi!"

Glaceon stood protectively in front of Zeju, its blue eyes fixed on the thing that was putting immense pressure on the entire Spear Pillar, refusing to yield an inch.

Ze Shu first gestured to Ibu not to rush.

His gaze slowly settled on Giratina. The Pluto made no extra movements, seemingly immersed in the world of his own mind.

This Pluto dragon, after appearing, did nothing but stare blankly at him, and no one knew what it was doing there.

The snow child in her arms let out a sound of unbearable discomfort: "Yo-ki..."

"Eevee~" Glaceon is indicating whether or not to use the stone tablet.

Ze Shu's eyes flashed with a hint of fire. Without much hesitation, he made up his mind: "Use it!"

In an instant, the radiance of the stone slab appeared in the center of the spear pillar, and because of this, the black aura on Snow Child's body was resisting and dissolving.

The power of the stone tablet appeared, and Giratina's attention was finally drawn back to reality.

It first noticed Zeju's face and the mysterious flames that slowly lit up in his eyes, then scanned the Glaceon protecting Zeju, the Snow Child in Zeju's arms, and the little Vulpix grinning beside Glaceon.

But its attention eventually returned to the dark power on the Snow Child's body that was fighting against the stone slab.

It roared, "Goo-hoo—"

With its roar, a burst of energy shot rapidly into the Snow Child's body, making the surging black power around the Snow Child even stronger.

But despite the energy being even stronger, it no longer resisted the stone slab, and the Snow Child's brows, which had been furrowed in pain, slowly relaxed.

Ze Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression remained somewhat serious. He looked at Giratina, thought for a moment, and then said:

Do you...recognize me?

For an instant.

Ze Shu saw resentment and indignation in Giratina's bright red pupils, but it shook its head desperately, then roared angrily:

"Goohoo—!!!"

I don't know them!

Ze Shu: "..."

I don't understand...

Why could he detect the arrogance in his voice...?

But Ze Shu was certain that he did not recognize this Giratina.

"Then... what's your connection with Snow Child?"

"Goohoo—!!!"

Same reply as before...

"Why is the power within you with Yukidouji?"

"Goohoo—!!!"

Ze Shu: "..."

Is this Pluto uncommunicative? It denies everything, acting like it doesn't know, it's not me, and it doesn't want to hear it.

"So what are you doing here?"

"Goohoo—"

Upon hearing this, Giratina stared intently at Ze Shu, then let out a dramatic roar before decisively turning its head away.

Then, you can see its body constantly moving through the opening in the sky.

After Ze Shu asked this question, Giratina decided to run away immediately.

"They just ran away..."

Ze Shu twitched the corner of his mouth.

What's going on?

It's inexplicable.

But it seems like this Giratina won't attack people.

Seeing that only a small part of Giratina's body remained inside the wound, Zeki looked at Yukidouji in his arms and hurriedly asked one last question: "Will Yukidouji's condition relapse in the future?"

"roar--!!!"

Giratina's body moved away even faster.

The gash that had torn the sky closed up quickly.

Only a single golden point of light remained in the sky, slowly descending and landing on the altar of the spear pillar.
