Sorry that it took so long to update. I was celebrating the holidays with my family! And we last left off griffin and friends after they beat four council members and now giratina is gonna battle griffin!

/\/\/\/\

Chapter 9: the end…

/\/\/\/\

"Oh crap…" I said when giratina said that he would be fighting me… I turned to Alex "please tell me he`s joking!" she shook her head… "Fine…" I turned to giratina "let's do this!" I said with much more confidence than I had…

/\/\/\/\

Final round!

Giratina didn`t even say start all he did was a curse attack and I felt a pain surge through me.

"Ack!" the pain was terrible… "!" I got an idea! It was a long shot but it might work if 1: I was crazy enough to do it 2: I was lucky as heck and 3: if I did the math correctly… I turned to Alex "Alex! What's my total HP?"

"What!?" she looked at her poke`dex and examined my poke ball "Your total hp is 121 and your level is 51!"

"Do you know giratina`s total HP?"

She took her poke'dex and pointed it at giratina.

It said with its computerized voice "Giratina: A Pokémon that is said to live in a world on the reverse side of ours. It appears in an ancient cemetery. Total HP: 204 level: 75"

"Perfect…" I said. I used some of my energy to lay a curse on giratina… ugh! After this I should have 31 HP and he should have 61 HP… all I have to do is dodge his next attack and it should be all over…

"You're not getting away with that!" giratina bellowed "take this!" he shook with power, and the sky above us turned into dark swirling clouds. Four thunders came in all four directions and I knew that I couldn`t dodge this. Crap! He knows my plan! I stood there and when all four thunders came close I closed my eyes…

Why didn`t they hit me?

I opened my eyes and I couldn`t believe what I saw! Blocking the two thunders from ahead and left of me was the professor! And the one blocking the thunders behind and to the right of me was… dusclops? The same dusclops from the council was protecting me!

"What's going on?" I asked the two…

The professor was shaking from the electrical surge… "My best friend died for his beliefs. Ugh! And so will I…" he died before his body hit the ground… I saw a blue light come from him and it floated off into the sky…

"I…" said the dusclops "I have no more unfinished business… Matt… you did great… your dad is very proud…" he was enveloped into the same kind of light and went into the sky as well… to join his friend.

"You…" I was crying and full of rage at giratina "You bustard!" I roared at giratina! "I hope that you experience a fate worse than hell!

I felt a pain go threw me once more but I held on… giratina however fainted from his curse…

/\/\/\/\

Everyone rushed to me…

"How did you survive the curse?" Alex asked

"It's simple… one can't split four ways… in other words I survived because I had an odd number of HP and you can't get killed from a curse if one fourth of your HP doesn't equal up to your total HP…"

"That's pretty smart!" she said

"Groan…" we looked towards giratina and he got up… "I-I lost… He-He……… HA- HA- HA!" everyone looked at each other in a what- the- heck? Kind of face "I have never lost to any other soul since Arceus and I had our last fight five hundred thousand years ago! And since I'm bound to my word…" his eyes glowed a shade of blue and it soon stopped…

"Did it work?" Alex asked

"One way to find out…" I said "MATT STILL WETS HIS BED!!!...... Yep… the curse is gone…" I looked to matt and his face was red from embarrassment… "Sorry…" I turned to giratina "What about the professor?"

"Oh… he's in a better place now… with his friend that was persistent enough to stop me even after he was burned alive…"

"Dad was the dusclops!?" Matt asked with his eyes wide

"Yes… the entire council is people who have wanted to stop the curses… but they didn`t know my curse…"

"What's the curse?" I asked

"My curse… was that I could never go back to the real world again until I was beaten by someone who truly one… and I wanted to stop the curses, but the only way I could do that was to come to the real world… and once you beat me, I was able stop it all…" he looked up into the sky "Now I'm going to have a final word with my brother Arceus before I depart…"

"Wait!" I said "Arceus is your brother!?"

"Of course he is! Originally there were two Arceus, but we knew there was only one that could rule, and being the younger… I was killed easily…"

"So that must be the thing matt's dad said that could blackmail you! You lost to your own brother!" I said

"It's true… but I must be going now…"

"Ok…" I said… I quickly turned to Cody who just woke back up "Cody! We won we won... Cody… could you tell me who murdered us?"

"Ok…" he looked down "It was your brother… but it wasn`t him…"

"What do you mean?"

"Your brother was possessed by dusclops… you didn`t hear the whole thing… dusclops told the other person, which was actually frosslass, which killing us would be for the greater good of their cause… I guess he was right, in a weird sort of way…"

"I'm kind of glad they did!"

"HUH!?"

"We did something great! We helped out with so much today! We released all the curses! We helped giratina come over his rage! And now Giratina can now speak to his brother after five hundred thousand years!"

"Yeah! I guess we did do great!"

I looked at matt… "I want to stay with Matt…"

"And I want to stay with Alex!"

"Let's go home!"

"Actually…" Alex interrupted "We`re taking you to the Pokémon center! You, griffin, have one HP left and everyone else is exhausted!" she softened up a bit "then we`ll go home!"

"That's good to…" I said
