But at that time, it was banished to the desolate Reversed World, while Dialga and Palkia could freely participate in the cycle of all things in the real world!
Logically, Giratina should feel incredibly angry.
But at this moment, its heart was surprisingly calm.
Because now it roughly understood the importance of the Reversed World to the real world.
Back then, it didn't understand the truth, only thinking it was banished due to its overly violent nature.
Arceus sent it there initially, probably holding high hopes for it, right?
Naoki jumped down from Giratina's back.
Under the gaze of the Legendary Pokemon, he walked to the front of Arceus, then gently extended his hand, placing his palm on Arceus's forehead.
The Power of Viridian surged, and in an instant, Naoki felt Arceus's angered heart due to being betrayed, ambushed, and severely wounded by humans.
"I'm sorry, Arceus." Naoki conveyed his thoughts through the Power of Viridian: "Damos was under the control of evil people; hurting you was not his intention. Those who should be punished are those greedy at heart, right? I think, aside from them, everyone should be full of gratitude towards you, right?"
Through the healing of the Power of Viridian, Arceus regained some of its strength. For some reason, its heart suddenly felt at peace.
Naoki was hesitating whether to use another ability.
It was the "Power of Nangong Wenya" he gained years ago through cooking, which, by touching a Pokemon's forehead and accompanying specific words, could calm an enraged Pokemon.
But that would be too awkward...
Forget it!
Naoki suddenly stood up, seeing the red glow in Arceus's eyes disappear and return to its original look, instantly a thought arose in his mind:
Ash and the others succeeded too! Arceus has recovered clarity!
It seems things here can finally end!
Naoki exchanged glances with Arceus and then said: "I'll go retrieve those Plates for you now, you wait here for a moment."
With that said, Naoki turned around and said to Mewtwo: "Little help?"
Mewtwo nodded slightly.
Soon after, the scattered Plates in the mountains and fields were returned to Arceus by Naoki and Mewtwo.
Arceus silently watched that figure.
This scene could not help but remind it of the event a thousand years ago.
"Damos..." Arceus murmured softly, "Naoki..."
Accompanied by the repositioning of the Plates, Arceus's body once again emitted a sacred light.
Dozens of Creation Plates slowly revolved around its waist.
Arceus nodded slightly towards Naoki.
Just then, from the other side of the Shinre, Ash, Cynthia, and others quietly appeared in a ray of light.
Arceus noticed them and then slowly levitated into the air.
Next, a miraculous scene occurred; the destroyed Shinre was restoring to its original form with visible speed!
The fire in the town was extinguished, collapsed buildings rebuilt, broken bridges automatically repaired, Mew and Teddiursa, who were organizing Pokemon to evacuate, were stunned to see the scene.
In the blink of an eye, the entire Shinre was restored to its prosperous state.
History was self-correcting!
By a lake under the Shinre, Team Rocket trio dumbfoundedly watched the rising lake levels in front of them.
At that moment, Meowth suddenly noticed the green jade in Jessie's hand disappearing in a flash of light, as if it never existed.
Golden light shone through the clouds onto the ground, and the golden-bathed Arceus was suddenly surrounded by five new Plates.
The past was altered, and the future changed with it.
Naoki watched that scene with some thoughtfulness.
Because Ash and the others returned the Life Orb to Arceus in the past, did the future Arceus directly have five extra Plates?
He remembered the future Life Orb was picked up by the Team Rocket trio, so has the history automatically corrected to erase that Life Orb now?
"Hey! Mr. Motorcycle Mask!"
Ash's excited voice interrupted Naoki's thoughts.
He turned his head and saw Ash, Dawn, Brock, Sheena, Kevin, and Cynthia running over.
Cynthia is here too? Naoki was slightly stunned.
The group in front all turned their gaze to him.
Ash and Brock were very excited, seemingly wanting to say something, but seemed hesitant and didn't speak immediately.
Sheena and Kevin, looking at the distant Arceus, soon understood it was this mysterious person who stopped Arceus and protected Midina.
Their tone was full of gratitude: "Thank you very much for your help."
Naoki shook his head, indicating not to worry about it.
Cynthia's eyes were full of interest. She looked at the mysterious person in front of her, really wanting to know who he was.
But her upbringing in etiquette didn't allow her to go and rip off someone's mask.
So Cynthia could only ponder this in her heart.
And just then, Brock suddenly thought of something.
"Wait! If the Life Orb is returned, shouldn't this land become barren again?"
