Pokemon: This Ash Is Too Versatile

The question Ash asked made Giratina feel lost.

Indeed, where can it go now?

When controlled, all it thought about was how to break free, but now, stripped of control, it still does not know what to do next.

The opponent can come to the Reverse Space once, and naturally a second time too.

Although its energy is exhausted now, severing the connection with the Griseous Orb and escaping control, as soon as that guy appears again, it won’t escape control.

Returning to the Reverse World would be walking into a trap.

With the Griseous Orb, one could find it anywhere, not just in the Reverse World.

Even if it humbled itself to seek Palkia and Dialga’s help, there’s no assurance that the man didn’t have any other means against the Space-Time Dragons.

During the time under Cyrus’ control, Giratina knew well how familiar the man was with the Sinnoh Three Gods.

His goal wasn’t just controlling one but to capture all three gods and use them to find the Creator God, Arceus, and act against it.

The man’s ambition far exceeds everyone’s expectations.

No matter where it goes, avoiding the man’s grasp seems impossible; if attacking him stealthily for a kill was feasible, Giratina would consider it.

But having severed connection with the Griseous Orb, it couldn’t sense its location anymore, and Cyrus surely knew this, having already moved.

The opponent can use the Griseous Orb to find it, but it can’t sense the Griseous Orb, blocked off.

This passive feeling frustrates Giratina, but frustration doesn’t shape reality; it is under constant threat from Cyrus, helpless against him, a cruel reality.

So uncertain on where to go next, Giratina expressed its thoughts, hoping Ash could offer some advice.

Yet this question stumped Ash; after Giratina’s analysis, dealing with Cyrus indeed proves tricky, even if seeking help from the Sinnoh dual gods, Cyrus might target them.

If Giratina goes solo, its current freedom is fleeting, like smoke dissolving on a whim, essentially illusory.

Since Cyrus controlled Giratina once, he could do it again, leaving them uncertain.

Unless they learn how Cyrus uses the Griseous Orb, not knowing prevents isolating Giratina from Cyrus’ tracking.

’There is actually a simple method.’ A deep, authoritative voice echoes in everyone’s mind; it’s Rayquaza.

The black Sky Dragon had appeared beside Ash, returned to its original form.

’What method?’ Giratina’s expression stiffens; this black dragon might indeed have an idea.

Though reluctant to admit, not even at full strength could it best this black dragon.

Possessing such power suggests it likely knows something unknown to it.

’Just let Ash capture you.’

’This method sounds... are you joking?’ Giratina nodded, half-way through the reply it froze, then stared at Rayquaza wide-eyed.

Both Ash and Pikachu along with Mewtwo found the suggestion odd.

Rayquaza threw them a curveball; having Ash capture Giratina? Despite enticing, Ash knew his strength limitations.

Were Giratina to unleash full power, even with Mewtwo’s utmost effort, they couldn’t match up.

The disparity between the Divine Domain Peak and Divine Realm Advanced is enormous.

Capturing Giratina, therefore, is outlandish, definitely unthinkable now.

’I’m not at leisure for jokes; your homeless plight stems from fearing control by the Griseous Orb, yes? Then stay with this young man, wait for Cyrus, leave the rest to him.’

Rayquaza’s tone was serious, evidently not idle banter but genuine.

Giratina lacks refuge because anywhere it goes, Cyrus can pursue it.

If that’s so, Giratina should reverse roles, allow Cyrus to come to it, and let Ash handle him.

Cyrus controlled Giratina not by strength superiority but via an item targeted for Giratina’s Special Attack.

When comparing strength, having Champion-level Pokémon situates Cyrus among the human elite.

But, a mere Champion against Mewtwo, is akin to an ant.

Targeting Giratina doesn’t imply capacity against Mewtwo.

Rayquaza lacks insight into human tech progress but knows without a medium, even a century’s advance won’t yield machines to control them.
