A trick like this.
Could never fool Shiko's eyes.
He had long since predicted Giratina's move.
Ghost-type Pokémon, like Dark-types, naturally carried a bit of gloomy, cunning temperament.
This move, Phantom Force.
The instant Giratina's body faded and vanished.
Shiko had already guessed where Giratina would attack from!
So!
He was on guard against it.
The moment the energy aura behind him began to fluctuate.
He decisively slashed out with one claw!
The Dragon Claw cut out by Dragon Slayer.
Even if it only grazed its target a little.
To a Dragon-type Pokémon, the damage would still be terrifying!
Giratina's gruesome wound was still constantly dripping blood.
Within that black blood.
A powerful energy aura could be sensed.
The first attacks from the two Pokémon had both ended in failure.
It could even be called a crushing defeat.
They had clearly launched a surprise attack.
Yet Shiko had turned it around and beaten them savagely instead.
This made Palkia and Giratina.
Instantly put away any thought of underestimating Shiko.
Giratina waved its black wings.
It returned to its original position and stood shoulder to shoulder with Palkia.
Both pairs of dragon eyes stared warily at Shiko at the same time.
After this first exchange.
They now had a rough judgment of Shiko's strength.
That was combat power far above either of them.
In fact.
Even if the two of them joined forces and attacked together, they were still not the opponent of this dragon-humanoid Pokémon clad in Alloy Armor.
After realizing this.
Giratina and Palkia no longer chose to hold anything back.
The two of them brought out the Creation Plates bestowed upon them by Arceus.
On the blue Splash Plate.
A clear stream of water coiled around it.
That was formed from the purest and most primitive Water-type energy.
It was the first strand of Water-type energy born when the universe was formed.
As for the other Ghost-type Plate.
It was pitch-black from end to end.
Hidden within a mass of gloomy black energy.
That Ghost-type energy.
Was also extremely pure and powerful.
Upon seeing these two Plates.
Shiko's eyes suddenly lit up.
He never would have thought.
After Arceus had lost two Plates through Dialga last time.
He would actually still dare to bestow two more Plates upon Giratina and Palkia!
Damn it!
Wasn't this basically delivering treasure right to his door?
Shiko felt the energy inside his body surging and resonating.
That was the power of the Iron Plate and Draco Plate he had absorbed.
It sensed the closest energy of the same origin surging nearby and began to leap with excitement.
It was also transmitting a message to Shiko.
The energy of these two Plates!
Devour it too!
When that happened!
Not only would his level and strength increase.
Most importantly.
After gaining the cosmic Origin Energy of two more Plates.
The authority he controlled.
Would also increase even further!
Maybe next!
He could create Digimon even stronger than the Dark Masters!
And!
After absorbing two more Plates!
He could also greatly weaken Arceus's strength!
Adding another chance of victory to the ultimate showdown in the future!
Three gains from one move!
Thinking of this!
Shiko's gaze instantly became feverish!
In his heart.
He even began to thank Palkia and Giratina.
The two not far away.
Clearly had not noticed what Shiko was thinking.
At this moment.
They were being bathed in the pure cosmic Origin Energy released by the two Plates.
Under the infusion of this power.
Their auras began to surge and climb at terrifying speed!
Even their forms!
Underwent astonishing changes!!
