The scene starts with a blackout.
Giratina (O.S.): You dare to call yourself a child of Arceus?! A worthless sniveling spec such as you will never transcend the power of the divine! Allow me to swallow you as mercy. May the darkness tear away at your soul…Shaymin.
The blackout fades. It is nighttime. Shaymin wakes up in her bed with a scream. Enter Uxie, Mesprit and Jirachi
Uxie: It was that dream again, wasn't it?
Jirachi hands Shaymin a glass of water. After taking a few sips, Shaymin puts the glass down and hugs Mesprit.
Jirachi: This can't go on, Shaymin. You gotta get over this fear you have about Giratina. I know that he totally frightened you that day; he was the bad guy. We totally get it. But he has changed, and you're not doing yourself any favors by fretting over what he did to you in the past. You need to forgive him and move on. It's the only way you can beat this!
Shaymin: I can't.
(Jirachi begins to sing.)
Jirachi: Life can be rough. Life can be short. So fill this lifetime only with good times. You're no different, you're not strange. You are beautiful this way. Time to clear your mind. Let go and join our kind. No more fear, no more shame. No more pain.
Uxie: Cha, cha!
Jirachi, Uxie and Mesprit: Time to live, time to fly. Time to face your fears. Time to spark (Spark, spark), time to shine. Time to out your fears tonight.
Shaymin: I can't…
Uxie: Here we are, times have changed. People you know have something to say. We're no different,
Jirachi and Mesprit: Except one way.
Uxie: We are brave enough to be okay. Time to love yourself, you're sexier that way. No more hate, no more shame, it's your faith.
Mesprit: Cha, cha!
Jirachi, Uxie and Mesprit: Time to live, time to fly. Time to face your fears. Time to spark, time to shine. Time to out your fears tonight.
Uxie: I, I, I, I, I, I
Mesprit: You know, know me. Finally singing round, so proud, so proud. Feeling invincible, feel it all around. You do, you do, you do.
Jirachi and Uxie: Oooh, you do!
Mesprit: Cha, cha!
Jirachi, Uxie and Mesprit: Time to live, time to fly. Time to face your fears. Time to spark, time to shine. Time to out your fears tonight.
Uxie: Oh tonight…
Shaymin: You're right! I have to face my fear and not let Giratina get in the way! But I don't know if I can…
Mesprit: That's our girl! Just don't give up till it's over! Hold on, I think I have an idea. I'm going to have a talk with Dawn tomorrow and see if she will help me on this. We'll help Shaymin overcome her fear no matter what!
Exit Jirachi, Mesprit, Shaymin and Uxie. It is morning. Cut to scene: Hilda and Zekrom's room at Castelia Hotel. Enter Hilda and N.
N: Good morning, Hilda. Almost ready?
Hilda: Almost. I just need to pack a few hygiene products that my sister is currently using in the bathroom, and then we'll be ready for the fight ahead. I'm excited.
N: I'm excited too. This will be the first time I've travelled with friends besides Pokémon. But I have to admit, that I'm a little nervous about it too; this will be a new experience for me. As you already know, I have always been alone except for my Pokémon friends. But I'm glad that I'll be sharing this new experience with you… travelling with you searching for the other legendaries will make the journey a little less daunting.
Hilda: Don't worry N, it will be fun. Trust me; the more people you have to share the moment with, the more fun and exciting it will be. That goes for our Pokémon too; they'll be making new friends as well.
N: And I'm glad my Pokémon will have that opportunity. But… I'm most excited getting to know you a little more, Hilda… W-w-well I mean… we're both heroes right? S-s-so it makes sense that we should get to know each other a little better… to know each other's strategies and get an idea of what the other's thinking…? It's more for battle advantage than anything else, really!
Hilda: Is that really the reason, N? If so, then that seems kinda cold, don't you think?
(Hilda kisses N on the cheek.)
Hilda: C'mon, the others will be waiting for us downstairs.
N: That and I'm hungry.
Exit N and Hilda. Enter Zekrom.
Zekrom: Go for it kid. She's practically begging you to. But be warned; she'll be quite the challenge. But as long you don't screw up like you did then, you should be fine.
Zekrom exits and re-enters along with Hilda, N, Mesprit, Jirachi, Shaymin, Uxie, Dialga, Victini, Diancie and Dawn as the set changes to the Castelia Hotel Lobby. While Hilda and the others are talking in the background, we are focused on Dawn and Mesprit.
Mesprit: As you know, Giratina attacked Shaymin some time ago, and that has led to her recurring nightmares.
Dawn: I never knew. I mean, of course I knew Giratina tried to take her hostage and Cresselia saved her… but I never realized how much of an emotional scar it left upon her.
Mesprit: That nightmare appeared again last night. Her screams were enough to wake all of us up in a fright. Her emotional indicators were so off the charts that it was beginning to affect even me; as the Being of Emotion, I'm rather sensitive to these things. She was so frightened. We need to put an end to this, and I have a plan to do that.
Dawn: What do you have in mind?
Mesprit: We need to shock her out of her fear, which is why I suggest to you that Shaymin go along with you and Giratina looking for the other Unova Beings. She needs to realize that Giratina has changed and being close to him for a prolonged time will help her realize that. Also, she needs to interact with him. This is where you come in: have Giratina train her how to fight. Shaymin has lost a lot of confidence over the years and has almost forgotten how to defend herself. Having the very person she fears coercing her may just snap her out of it.
Dawn: Or traumatize her even more? Are you sure you want to risk that?
Mesprit: It depends on how Giratina goes about it, which will determine the end result. It needs to be done right, so make it clear to him to take baby steps. Tell him to be nurturing, be sympathizing, be caring. You never know, the results may end up better than expected. This will also be good for him, for it will teach him to be a better person. He has indeed changed, but his change was mostly all for you. His usual dark and wicked demeanor still has the tendency to give most of our friends the creeps.
Dawn: I understand. Ok, I'm in.
Mesprit: I'm glad. Thanks, Dawn.
(Dawn goes off to join the others while Mesprit pulls Shaymin aside.)
Mesprit: Shaymin, we've decided to have you go with Dawn and the others.
Shaymin: I'm not so sure about that.
Mesprit: We'll help you. I promise.
Shaymin: You're a great friend. Thank you, Mesprit.
(Shaymin and Mesprit head over to the group. Once again, we are focused on everyone.)
Giratina: What is that little pink-haired imp up to now?
Dawn: Actually… there's something about that I need to talk to you about.
Giratina: Hmm? What do you… Aagh! (He falls to his knees in pain.)
Dawn: Giratina! What's wrong?
Giratina: Hello, Kyurem.
Kyurem (O.S.): Ah, so glad you can still recognize my pulse… my dear beloved father. Tell me, how did the Distortion World treat you for the thousands of years you were imprisoned? Did it drive you mad… insane with thoughts for the longing of sweet revenge against that foolish abomination that is Arceus? We're the same, you and I; we both want self-gratification for the loneliness and suffering we endured. Doesn't that make your heart dance to realize that we both have the same desires for end to all life? As they say, like father like son!
Victini: You're a jerk!
Kyurem (O.S.): So glad to hear that you are there with father as well, Victini my old friend. Why not just put an end to your worthless crusade to stop me and just give up already! Not only are you offering your life for the slaughter, but others as well foolish to follow you. You never had the power to oppose me and never will, you weak little mouse!
Victini: Shut up! Mark my words, we will stop you, you pathetic mass of cold walking slush!
Kyurem (O.S.):Such harsh words, my little Vicky… but they're empty threats that mean nothing! Fine, go ahead and try to stop me; to be honest I'm rather itching for this game to begin. So let us begin this war, and may the world fall within our flames! By the way, are the little heroes with you as well… more preferably, little Miss Hilda Juniper?
Hilda: Hear ya loud and clear, Kyurem! And from the way it sounds, you're one self-entitled little brat, aren't ya? Can't wait to meet you in person, so I can finally and kick… your… ASS!
Kyurem (O.S.): Well, if it will be anything like you did to Virizion… then I'm eagerly anticipating it. Aside from reuniting with father again, I am most excited to see you… my little warrior princess…
Hilda: Creepy, but you don't scare me. We're gonna beat you, and when that day finally comes you're gonna regret the day you were born! We will not back down, we will not give up till it's over, and we will fight to the end!
Kyurem (O.S.): Ah, and it is this very robust nature of yours, which has intrigued me so. It is the very reason why I especially wish to meet you and see how true you are to your word. The day when we truly meet will eventually dawn, my little warrior princess… SO COME! MAY THE GAME BEGIN!
Giratina: He's gone.
Victini: Are you sure?
Giratina: I can no longer feel his astral pulse. I guess he is done with all he had to say to us.
Victini: I see. Well, there's one thing we can say for certain: Kyurem intends to destroy the world no matter what. He is too far gone to desire for anything else. Not only that, but he seems to have developed an interest in Hilda and her sister. Girls, it'll be best to watch yourselves with extra caution from now on.
Hilda: Ok.
Zekrom: We'll keep each other safe.
Victini: As for the rest of us, we all better get started. Time continues to waste and we're not doing ourselves any favors lingering around here. When we exit those doors, our quests will begin. I wish you all well… and pray that you all remain safe. Good luck everyone, and may Arceus watch over us!
Everyone exits. Cut to scene: Nimbasa City. Enter Dawn and Giratina.
Dawn: So what do you think? Can you do it?
Giratina: You do realize that I am not the nurturing type. But, I do realize that it is my fault for her current condition, so… I'll try.
Dawn: It will be a long and patient process, but I know you can do it.
Enter Victini, May and Hilda.
Victini: Aww, nuts!
May: I don't get it. Why did he run away from us?
Dawn: Victini, May, what's wrong?
Victini: I found Keldeo, but he ran away before I could try and reason with him. Shortly after, we ran into the director at the Nimbasa Musical Theater, and he reassured us that next time, we'd be able to get through to him.
Hilda: Keldeo… isn't that the name of Cobalion's brother whom he shunned?
Victini: Yes. Keldeo is the Being of Lakes and Rivers.
Diancie enters from stage left and Hoopa from stage right.
Diancie: Hoopa!
Hoopa: Diancie!
(Diancie and Hoopa run to each other and embrace.)
Hilda: Who's that?
Diancie: This is Hoopa, my sister. I told you about her, remember?
Hoopa: I heard that Kyurem is up to no good. That's why I decided to come here and join the fight.
Hilda: Have you seen Volcanion and the others?
Hoopa: Unfortunately I haven't.
Hilda: Let's go walk around and catch up. Perhaps you could tell us what it's like in Kalos?
