A/N: The next chapter! Yay!


Giratina's gift

"From Giratina, Shadow received the Griseous Orb." Whitetail stared at the text. Then she quickly closed the book. "That was creepy." Shadow tore the package open, just to find the golden glowing orb mentioned in the book inside of it.

"But why?" was all the pikachu could say. "He needs it himself, doesn't he? Why would he want to give it to me, out of all people?"

"Not really." Whitetail replied. "Dad can survive without the Griseous Orb. He just needs it to stay in his Origin Forme. Remember the shape he had when he just had escaped the Distortion World? He's not like Mum, who will die if she loses all of her life plates."

"And for your other question..." Aura said. "It's because Giratina trusts you, Shadow. At least I think so. I mean, 3.000 years ago, you two were really good friends. You might not remember it, but he still does."

"It's quite an unlikely friendship, isn't it?" Mighty joined the discussion after quitting to stare at the Griseous Orb. "A legendary pokémon and a human boy."

"It was because the human... I... saved him from a pack of zangoose." Shadow(who still had trouble to accept that he and the human boy were the same) said, recalling the memory he had seen long ago.

"Wow. Dad never told me that." Whitetail said with a chuckle. "A pack of zangoose? Honestly, what kind of legendary needs a human to save himself from zangoose?" While Whitetail fell to the floor laughing her head off, Feather took the opened package.

"There's a letter in here." he said and handed the letter to Shadow.

"It's from Giratina!" Shadow stated and inspected the letter.

To Shadow

If you're reading this, Arceus has decided to follow my wishes and give it to you. I have gone off alone to investigate what the humans are planning. I fear that I might not come back, as I don't know what the humans will do if they find me.

I trust you with this orb in order to give you a chance to figure out the plans of the humans. You sure wonder what I mean now. The orb gives one the ability to shift back to one's original form. Not only me.

This should mean that you can revert from pokémon to human and back with it. Hopefully, this will be useful for you, Whitetail, Mighty, Aura and Feather if you decide to go spying on the humans.

I hope you'll succeed to stop the humans from taking our land again. I hope that you choose to fight for justice. Never give up. I'm sure that you can do this. After all, you managed to stop me half a year ago...

Tell Whitetail that I'm proud of her.

~Giratina

Whitetail stared at the letter over Shadow's shoulder.

"He's gone off to the humans?" Aura questioned. "That's madness!"

"Do you really think that the humans can capture Lord Giratina?" Mighty asked Whitetail, who looked totally broken.

"The humans captured Mew 3.000 years ago." Whitetail replied.

"But he managed to escape." Mighty argued.

"Yeah, but that was 3.000 years ago, as I just said." Whitetail sighed. "Their technology must have got much better since that time! Despites, I just found out that Dad didn't stand a chance against a pack of zangoose!"

"I'm sure Lord Giratina will return." Mighty said and placed his paw on Whitetail's shoulder.


But Mighty was proven wrong. Giratina didn't return. Arceus soon started getting worried and went looking for him. She didn't find him, no matter how much she searched.

"Why won't you tell her where he went?" Feather asked the other members of Team Saviours just after Arceus had gone out looking for Giratina again.

"She would get mad at me." Whitetail said with a sigh. "She would just say that I should've told her before."

"She won't!" Feather exclaimed. "We should tell her where Giratina went! Then we can find him!"

"It won't be that simple!" Aura said. "If they really have captured him, they won't let us find it out so easily."

"Well, we should at least do something." Feather said. "Not just stay here and rot! I thought you four were an Exploration Team! Where's your lust for adventure? Soon I have to go by myself!"

"If Feather is going, I'm going too." Mighty said. As Feather stared at him, he smiled. "No, it's not because I like you, stupid naive little birdie. It's because of my loyalty to Lord Giratina."

"I want to come along too!" Aura stated. "I might be a coward, but I'm not going to let my friends go off into danger alone! You coming, Whitetail?" The eevee sighed.

"I guess... But what are we going to do? If Dad's been captured, how will we get away?" she moaned.

"Where's your usual optimism, Whitetail?" Shadow asked mockingly. "I know what we'll do." He grabbed the Griseous Orb, which now hung in a necklace around his neck, hidden under the purple scarf along with the Azure Flute. "We're going to trick them with a transformation."
