My Older Brother

Dialga isn't my only brother. Giratina is the eldest of us three, and the most responsible. He is well known for his maturity, despite being only 3,000 years older than me and Dialga. He watches over the Mirror World, a dimension that is directly parallel to the "real world", or what the humans call it. Therefore, whatever happens in one world directly affects the other. It is his job that everything remains in balance.

Despite the heavy burden, I think he enjoys his responsibility.

Palkia scanned the landscape until she found it, the fourth lake of Sinnoh. Today she was going to visit her brother, Giratina.

She knew that he be busy, but saying "hi" every now and then isn't too bad. Right? She flew down to the edge of the lake and landed softly on the ground. She drew in a breath, and cried out, "Gira! Are you there?"

There was no reply. Palkia shrugged and said, "Gira! It's me, your baby sister Palkia! Are you around?"

Nothing responded to her voice, indicating that he probably wasn't around. Palkia sighed, while a little upset. The fact that he isn't answering is usually the result of not making contact with anything in a long time.

It made her worried when Gira won't contact someone in long periods at a time. Something can easily happen to him without anyone ever knowing about it, and six months has passed since anyone has heard anything from him, which is enough time for bad things to happen.

Palkia decided to try again later, despite her fears. She lifted herself off the ground with her powers and flew above the lake. As she started flying away, she heard a whirling sound. Palkia looked back down at the lake surface, and there was the portal to the Distortion World. I guess he did hear me, or maybe I didn't give him enough time to respond?

Palkia started going as fast as she could into the portal before it closed. Once she went passed through, the portal closed up, leaving into the Distortion World.

This world was known as the parallel world to the "real world", but there was a bunch of differences:

Gravity varied in different parts of this world.

Many common buildings or objects that would be normally called houses or trees would be twisted into different shapes that were similar.

There was no such thing as up of down. That was many things in here that went the opposite of another thing, making look backwards. For example, there was a large waterfall that flowed upwards instead of downwards.

There were black-purple clouds that are poisonous to the normal creatures, and thus can kill in one breath. They occurred when there are lots of disturbances in the real world.

Air bubbles in this world are not meant to be touched. They caused semi-explosion in the real world.

Palkia remembered the first time she was told this by Giratina. She was fascinated by how a world can function so differently than the one she is used to being in. Dialga, however, fell asleep in the middle of Gira's speech. He really hates coming to the Distortion World. For one, it lacks the essence of time. So, technically, Dialga has no time travel ability in this world.

Palkia was brought from her thoughts when a huge black cloud headed toward her way. It was fifty times her size, and it was fast. "Whoa!" she cried out when she attempted to fly over it. She wasn't quick enough though, and the cloud overtook her body. She tried holding her breath and kept trying to fly out. Where am I? Which way is up? Palkia panicky kept moving until something knocked into her and forced itself and her out of the cloud. The cloud continued its way and left the duo alone.

Palkia had a bad coughing fit from breathing some of the cloud, and felt a force laid her against some flat stone structure. She looked up and saw her brother in his Orgin Forme. "Are you okay? You scared me when that cloud overtook you!" Giratina yelled out in worry.

"Ugh, not really…my chest hurts. At least you saved me. I never knew that they could get that big!"

"Actually, they normally can't"

"Then how was it that big?"

"I don't know. I felt a huge disturbance, but I don't know what it may be or where it is. I thought it was weird, but that cloud confirmed that something catastrophic happen. I hope that it isn't too bad…"

Palkia sat up and said, "I hope so too. I'm surprise that you're still alive!"

"Hey! Don't talk down to your older and more powerful brother!" Gira said in an annoyed tone. Palkia giggled a little, but started another coughing fit. Giratina looked stressed out, and finally said, "It was a mistake to let you here now. Go on back home Palkia."

Palkia looked a little sad when he said this but understood. She noticed to her right that a portal opened up, and Gira flew away without saying goodbye. Poor big brother, he may enjoy what he does, but that doesn't mean it is a walk in the park.

Sorry this took me forever to update, but I finally got this done! I won't be updating as regularly as my other stories, because this is something to express my ideas...and sometimes concerns as you will see in the next chapter...
