Giratina watched the humans as they made their way through his world, the lake trio helping the two females while the man made his own way. It didn't take long for Arceus Priestess and the human child to reach the man, and Giratina snarled slightly as the man argued - then battled with the child, who stubbornly claimed that neither world was worthless. Impressive, but still... Foolish things. He should lock the man and child up here - kill them as was his right. He would have, where it not for the one of Arcues bloodline. For all he hated Dialga and Palkia, he was not a fool when it came to those tied by blood to Arcues itself.

He would deal with the man and child after this battle. The poor pokemon, so made to fight for humans. Despicable and disgusting, though there was something different about the child's. They reacted better to the commands and soon the male was defeated. Even the Priestess looked stunned. But then the man started to talk again as Giratina made himself known, ectoplasm flowing and forming into his serpentine body.

"... Don't think that you can defeat or capture that Pokémon. This bizarre world is none other than that Pokémon itself! Capturing it or defeating it will make this world disappear! Rather than repairing the world, you're going to destroy it for me! Do it. You inherit my legacy."

Giratina gave a menacing grin. How wrong the man was. Such arrogance in such a small, worthless thing. As for the child... Glowing red eyes turned to her, a nasty grin on his face. Just try it, he seemed to say. Just try it.

Giratina was not expecting a Blizzard - not such a strong one - from the pokemon, and it howled with pain, massive tail whipping through the air as one of ghostly 'wings' succumbed to the ice. A frozen, useless lump of a thing.

The tail slammed down on the 'shelf', a pale imitation of earthquake, but it would feel like the real thing. Or should. "Rrrgrraaaaa."

[The earthquake took Nidoking down to a point where he should havee fainted, but his sheer anger kept him going. Hikari, on the other hand, held him back.]

Nidoking, stop! You've done enough. Take a rest - Nidoqueen can take over, alright? [Hikari knew that of her entire team, Nidoking trusted his female counterpart the most. He agreed to switch out and let the other Nido out. She was stronger in attack, anyway. She would be sure to take revenge on the dragon for attacking Hikari.]

Use Stone Edge!

Interesting. The pokemon still wanted to fight, but the trainer recalled it and sent out the female. Perhaps... If this trainer did last against this battle, it would be the first in in almost 1000 years that a human gained his respect. He didn't hold hope for it though. Humans where, in his experience, such fickle, brutish things.

He weathered the attack - hissing as the poison chipped away more of his health. Heh, almost at 80%. Not bad for a child, though the battle was becoming annoying, but with one of the 'wings' still frozen, he was limited in his attacks. Pity, but oh well.

Another Dragon Tail was sent the Nidoqueen's way.

[Nidoqueen had her own tactic for dealing with such an attack. Not only would she take the hit, but she would catch hold of the tail as it struck, then wait for command--]

Thunder! [--And then strike at very close range. Hikari was worried - the battle was taking so long. Two members of her team were already down and she had no idea how much health Giratina had left. She had to hurry, her team couldn't last forever against such a powerful Pokemon.]

[More so given that Giratina snarls when the attack hit. That. Hurt. And while it doesn't take that much health off a god, it's still painful.

Really hope you didn't expect the Nidoqueen to last much longer as while it's not an attack persay, he whips tail and all up into the air, then slams it down before flinging the pokemon in the child's general direction.]

HIKARI-SAN! [Shirona is white as a ghost and Akagi isn't much better. It's one thing to dream of controlling a god's power, it's another to see it in action. He knows he's out much here.

Best recall the pokemon before Giratina decides he wants to go another round with it.]

[General direction turns out to be exact direction, and Hikari's brain can't get commands to move or recall Nidoqueen to her body fast enough. All she can accomplish is reaching out with her arms, a half-formed thought of something between catching the Pokemon and defending her face. And then she's hit and thrown backward, crying out in unison with her Pokemon.

Nidoqueen's toxic spines manage to break Hikari's skin upon impact. She doesn't know if she's actually poisoned or not - she can't tell like a Pokemon could - but she's definitely bleeding and winded. She stays still for a few moments, trying to catch her breath.

And then she recalls the 'Queen, standing back up slowly. She has to keep going. She has no choice.]

W...Wigglytuff... Metronome...!

[The rabbit's fingers start wiggling... And then it produces a ridiculously rare move called Freeze Shock. Hikari has no idea what her Pokemon just did. It was powerful, for sure, but what on earth was it? She's never seen anything like it, and doubts she ever will again.]

[Giratina rumbles softly, though he doesn't seem that worried. The human isn't poisoned, and he's - amused by the fight now. He can admit that much, and the way his eyes crinkle and the low, almost pleased hiss gives it away. He's only vaguely aware of their spectators jumping a few feet. Shock? He doesn't know, doesn't care.

Five ghostly 'wings' curl around him as he watches the wigglytuff in curiosity, while the frozen one barely twitches, reminding him of the current annoyance, along with the poison causing his veins.

For a dark, menacing god, his expression is downright comical when the freeze shock appears and hits him, encasing his tail and part of his lower body in ice. Thr roar of pain is earthshaking as several of the 'wings' slam into the ground with enough force to leave small creators.

It's not an attack. More he's bracing himself as he stares in shock at the wigglytuff, then slowly tilts his head in a clear

'what the fuck.']
