Author's Note: Have just realised that I have been spelling Giratina with an 'N' before the 'T' this whole time! Sorry bout that!
"Evner!"
That call right then could have been the sweetest thing I have ever heard in my life. I whipped around, and thank Arceus! Hakiru, Rami and Mitsuo were running towards me like a pack of Mightyena were on their tail. But they stopped short as they saw the scene before them.
Cyrus was standing on the ground, his arms outstretched like he was about to hug his uncle. He was laughing crazily, his head thrown back. The halo of purple haze that floated above his face shimmered evilly. Dialga was standing, as sturdy as ten Donphan, to his right. Palkia was standing, straight-backed and haughty, on his left. And above them floated Giratina, not in its Altered Forme like it was supposed to be, but in its Origin Forme, the form that made it look like a ghost.
"Do you see?" cackled the cuckoo Cyrus. "Do you see the beings I have summoned? The beings I have summoned, and have complete control over! See? Watch, and you shall see! Gaze upon my POWER!"
And then a transparent orb, the size of a man's fist, appeared, spinning and glinting, above Giratina's head. It flew down to Cyrus, and he grasped it in his hands.
"You see?" he bellowed. "You SEE? Ah ha! Hahaha! Mwahaha!"
"He's crazy!" breathed Hakiru.
"We're gonna have to fight him," said Rami grimly, setting his claws.
"No!" snapped Mitsuo. "Make any move, and the Creation trio shall attack."
"Then we will!"
The chorus of voices came from overhead. Four heads looked up. Four Pokemon gasped. I devolved.
Darkrai, Cresselia, Shaymin in Sky Forme, Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit were hovering overhead. Cresselia and Shaymin were on either side of Darkrai, who was at the front. The former two were slightly behind him. The lake guardians were hovering in a triangle formation, Uxie up top, Azelf to the bottom-left and Mesprit to the bottom-right.
"We will fight you!" yelled Darkrai, not in Pokemon, but in English.
Dialga was alerted to its yell. The time-controlling legendary raised its head, and its eyes glowed orange. The diamond on its chest glowed a blinding sapphire blue. The fins behind it grew larger and Dialga opened its mouth, an indigo ball forming in front of it. It then fired an indigo beam from the ball at Darkie, who was open-mouthed with terror.
We all yelled for Darkrai to get out of the way, but we were too late. The Roar of Time attack hit it full in the chest, and Darkrai was out. Dialga's fins shrank back to its normal size as the glow in its diamond and eyes dimmed.
"How COULD you?" screamed Cresselia. She darted towards Palkia, a pink glowing star in the sky.
Palkia heard her. It turned its head, and the pearls on its shoulders glowed pink. Its eyes glowed orange just like Dialga's had done, and its forearm started to gather glowing pink energy. It then slashed the air and releases a pink crescent blade of energy from its arm at Crescent. She screamed in shock and pain, and she fell down, knocked out.
Now only four legendaries on our side remained. I noted dully that Ryxa had been awoken by the cry of the legendaries as they had come to the battlefield, and was standing straight now, her eyes displaying pure terror.
I saw Shaymin say something to the guardians. I saw them nod. I saw the four barrel towards Giratina with all the speed of a thousand Staraptor.
But Giratina was faster. The middle of Giratina's head crest glowed light blue, and Giratina's body turned black and disappeared right before the four legendaries were about to hit it. Shaymin's Seed Flare died down, and they looked around wildly. Seconds later, Giratina reappeared behind them and attacked.
Four bodies fell to the earth, Shaymin's shrinking back to Land Forme.
Mitsuo ran to the legendaries. He had been their companion for years, and wasn't going to abandon them now.
Now?
Well, now it was just us.
Evner the Eevee, Ryxa the Skarmory, Hakiru the Dragonair and Rami the Sableye.
All ready to fight to the death with the Creation trio.
But then something very weird happened.
Cyrus looked up, his once-wild eyes now displaying puzzlement. Why weren't the legendaries attacking? He had the all-powerful Aduseous Orb! Why? Why...
The leader of Team Galactic yelled in fright as he realised all three of the Creation trio were staring daggers at him. He realised that the purple halo of haze protecting him from attack had disappeared. He realised that the Orb in his hands was beginning to tremble uncontrollably. He realised all this.
He realised, and ran.
"What's going on?" demanded Rami fearfully.
"Cyrus the coward is running away!" chortled Ryxa.
"B-but why?" stammered Hakiru.
I realised why. "Because the Creation trio would've killed him if he hadn't."
My friends looked towards me, wide-eyed.
But then I heard the rumbling voice of Giratina speak to me. I heard, and its call was for me and me alone.
"Giratina wants me to come," I muttered to my friends.
"Be careful," warned Ryxa. I smiled and began to walk, but before I could get a foot away, I was swept up into a group hug.
I felt Hakiru's serpentine body squeezing me tightly. I felt Rami's claws, safely away from my face. And I felt Ryxa, Ryxa hugging us all, prickling us slightly with her steel feathers.
Then the hug was over, and Hakiru was whispering to be careful, and Rami was wishing me luck, and Ryxa was silent and smiling and crying a bit.
I turned, smiling, wiping my eyes. Then I walked towards Giratina, Dialga, Palkia, and the orb on the ground.
