The Lost City of Twilight
Chapter 55: Palace of the Dragonking
-Dungeon 9: Palace of the Dragonking
"Holy Arceus…" Lumiere says when they reach the main room of the dungeon.
"That's very terrific dungeon!" Zelda says.
"But I think this terrific dungeon must hide some secret. And that secret must be its hardness." Jedi says.
"Not a big deal. We had already passed eight dungeons. So this dungeon must be easy as pie." Link says.
"I disagree with you, Link. This dungeon is the dungeon of dragon type Pokemon. So it must be very much harder and greater than any dungeon that we have passed." Latios says.
"But I think this place is strange…" Ordin says.
"Why?" Scarley asks.
"Now we are in the main room of this dungeon. Look at that thing on the ceiling." Ordin says and points his finger to a dark-gray gem on the ceiling.
"That gem…" Scarley says.
"I think that gem must hold some secret. And now, the way that we can proceed to the next room is that." Ordin says and points his finger to the door in front of them.
"So what?" Scarley says.
"But look above." Ordin says. Everyone looks at the ceiling and realize that there's another door on the wall. But that door is on the top of the wall, making it impossible to proceed with that door.
"How can we proceed through that door?" Scarley says.
"I still don't know. But let's go to the next room first." Link says. Then everyone enters the door.
-Several Hours Later-
"WHY DRAGON TYPE POKEMON MUST BUILD THIS ENORMOUS PALACE FULLS WITH MANY PUZZLES!" Jedi, Ordin and Scarley say.
"Because dragon type is better than any type." Latios says.
"But this dungeon is very hard, harder than any dungeon that we have passed." Lumiere says.
"But now, we have reached the last room already…" Latias says. Inside the last room is nothing but a very big chest.
"What is inside this chest?" Lumiere says. Then Link opens the chest.
"What?!" Link says.
"What's wrong?" Zelda asks.
"Inside this chest is the tool like the one that we have found in all previous dungeons. But this chest contains two tools!" Link says and picks something from the chest. In his left hand is an hourglass. And in his right hand is a rod.
"The thing in your left hand is Black Hourglass. It is the mysterious hourglass that allows you to change the time during the day. You can switch between the morning, day, evening and night. And the thing in your right hand is White Rod. That mysterious rod contained a power to give a life to the lifeless thing such as a statue. After you give the life to the statue, you can control it by using that rod too." Latios says.
"Wow! Both of them are mysterious tool!" Zelda says.
"That's right. They are the ancient machine that made by dragon type Pokemon. So they contained a mysterious power to control time and space." Latios says.
"But where to go next?" Lumiere asks.
"By the way, Latios, what time is it?" Link asks.
"It's noon." Latios says. It makes Latias become shocked.
"That's impossible!" Latias says.
"Why?" Zelda asks.
"Because I have checked the time when we were in the main room. And the time when we were in the main room is also noon!" Latias says.
"That's impossible!" Ordin says.
"Its mean that the time doesn't flow in this place?" Ordin says.
"By the way, let's go back to the main room." Link says.
-After a while-
"It's true. Now the time is still noon." Link says when they reach the main room.
"That's strange…" Lumiere says.
"Anyway, where to go next?" Lumiere asks.
"Hmm…" Link thinks. Then he looks to the gem on the ceiling.
"That gem… It must hold some secret…" Link says.
"Link, let me try this." Latios says and takes out the White Rod. Then he swings the White Rod to the Gem. Suddenly, the gem starts to glow. And the room becomes strange.
"So, control that gem with the White Rod isn't enough." Link says.
"Hey! Link! I know! Since the time doesn't flow in this place. Let me use the Black Hourglass to make it flow!" Latias says and takes out the Black Hourglass. Then she changes the time to the midnight. Suddenly, the room started to rotate.
"What the … is that?!" Ordin and Scarley say.
-After a while-
"Are you alright?" Link asks after they regain their consciousness.
"Look Link! The room is upside down!" Zelda says. Because now, the gem is on the ground instead of on the ceiling.
"I understand it now! First we must use the White Rod to control that gem. And after we control that gem, we must change the time between noon and midnight to rotate this dungeon!" Lumiere says.
"How mysterious! I wonder who is the Pokemon who protect this dungeon." Jedi says.
"I think he or she must be a very strong dragon type Pokemon…" Link says. Then they proceed to the next room.
-Several Hours Later-
"I hate this place…" Jedi says.
"Come on! Now this is the last room!" Link says. Then they enter the last room, where they find nothing but a chest that contained the boss key.
"Where is the boss room?" Link asks.
"…Link, let's return to the main room. I have a strange feeling about that gem again." Latios says. Then they return to the main room.
-After a while-
"Maybe this gem is the way that leads us to the boss room…" Latios says after he examines the gem again.
"But how can we open it?" Link says.
"I know!" Lumiere says. Then he plays the Ballad of Legend. Suddenly, the room started to shake. And a boss key flies into the gem. And then, a warp portal appears in the middle of the gem.
"We did it!" Zelda says.
"This portal must lead us to the boss room. Come on!" Link says. Then they enter the warp portal.
-After that-
"Where to go next?" Ordin asks. Because after they get out of the warp portal, they find two staircases that lead them to the different room.
"Which stair should we proceed? Left or Right?" Scarley asks.
"Both." Latios says.
"What?" Scarley asks.
"Inside my Ancient Book said that the right staircase leads us to the dragon that controls space. We must use our power to defeat it. And the left staircase leads us to the dragon that controls them. We must use our wisdom to defeat it. After we have defeated the two dragons. The way that leads us to the third dragon shall appear. And we must use our courage to defeat it." Latios says.
"So, we must separate." Link says.
"Right. Link, Jedi, Ordin, Scarley and I will go to the right room to face the dragon that controls space. And Anna, Lumiere, Tysand, Falcon and Latias will go to the left room to face the dragon that controls space, okay?" Latios says.
"Okay!" Everyone says.
"Then let's go." Latios says. Then they separate into two groups and continue their adventure.
-In the right room-
"This room is strange…" Jedi says. Because this room contains seven buttons on the ground. Each button has a different color. And one of them has a statue on them. Suddenly, a Pokemon appears from nowhere.
"Welcome, the Heroes of Legend. My name is Palkia, the dragon that controls the space. Now show me your true power!" Palkia says.
Creation Dragon of Space
Palkia
The battle with Palkia isn't hard. But it is a little tricky. Because sometime Palkia will disappear into a portal, making it can attack Link and friends. But Link and friends can't see Palkia. So Link must use the White Rod to move the statue from a switch to another switch that matches color with Palkia's portal to make Palkia appears. Finally, they win.
"You all are strong. Now proceed to the last room." Palkia says before he disappears. And a staircase appears.
"Let's go." Link says. Then they proceed to the last room.
-In the left room-
"This room is strange…" Lumiere says. Because this room has a number one to twelve on the wall, making this room looks like a huge clock. Suddenly, a dragon appears from nowhere.
"Welcome, the Heroes / Heroine of Legend. My name is Dialga, the dragon that controls the time. Now show me your true power!" Dialga says.
Creation Dragon of Time
Dialga
The battle with Dialga isn't hard. But it is a little tricky. Because sometime Dialga will disappear into a portal on the wall, making it can attack Zelda and friends. But Zelda and friends can't see Dialga. So Zelda must use the Black Hourglass to change the time to match the number with Dialga's portal. Finally, they win.
"You all are strong. Now proceed to the last room." Dialga says before he disappears. And a staircase appear.
"Let's go." Zelda says. Then they proceed to the last room.
-In the last room-
"Are you hurt, Zelda?" Link asks after everyone reaches the last room.
"I am alright." Zelda says. Suddenly, another dragon appears.
"You all come so far. This is your last challenge. I am Giratina, the dragon of distortion. Now face me in the battle now!" Giratina says.
Creation Dragon of Disortion
Giratina
Battle with Giratina is a bit tricky too. Because Giratina is invincible. So Link must use his scene ability to find Giratina. Then he can attack Giratina. Finally, Link and his friends win.
"You all are very good!" Giratina says. Then Dialga and Palkia appear.
"Yeah, this dungeon is so hard. And we must face three bosses in one dungeon too…" Jedi mumbles.
"Now Hero of Legend. Please accept this." Giratina says and hands over the Dragonking Emblem to Link.
"Finally, the last emblem." Link says.
"Now I have finally fixed the flow of time in the Land of Twilight. So the flow of time in the Land of Twilight should be back to normal." Dialga says.
"And I will give you a music that enables you all to travel to the place that you have been visited." Palkia says before he teaches the Creation's Song to Lumiere.
"Now the destiny of this world is up to you. Only the last obstacle remains. Go on with your power, wisdom and courage." Giratina says. Then Link and his friends warp out of the dungeon.
