Tiger held the griseous orb, and closed his eyes. He allowed the
worry and panic to take over his mind, and he waited for the portal
to open. Cyndaquil ran over to Tiger, and climbed onto his
shoulder.
After the berries were consumed Victor recalled all his Pokemon,
gathered his most sentimental belongings from the bag, and waited
for Tiger.
"I'll come, too." He said.
"I'll tag along too." Cosmoem said to everyone through
telepathy.
A smaller portal began to open, though slowly. It was the same dark
color, still slightly distorted. Riolu wasted no time in launching
himself through the portal and vanishing. Dewott followed him
slowly, waiting for the others.
Victor, Volt and Cosmoem quickly went into the portal.
"Is it an Ultra Wormhole? I can open those too." Cosmoem
said as it entered the distortion world.
Riolu exited the portal and nearly tumbled over, immediately
straightening himself up, only to find himself face to face with a
large Pokémon. It stared at him with a blank red gaze, floating up
and down, remaining still and silent.
"Well, mister Giratina, would you mind informing us where our
friend is?" Victor asked Giratina, feeling rather reckless. Cosmoem
looked at Giratina, afraid.
Giratina let out a small screech as a reply, lowering himself
slightly to stare at Tiger. He dipped his head slightly to agree
with the name. He tossed Victor a bored look and flicked his tail
before floating away, turning back to see if they were following.
Giratina paused for a moment before continuing off, moving a few
chunks of land out of his way with small nudges. He eventually
paused and gestured towards a smaller chunk of land with his
tail.
"I'm fine, I've been fine for ten minutes." Mel grumbled, keeping
herself curled into a ball. "Arceus, you're like my dad or
something--" She looked up. And then looked down. "And now I'm
seeing things." She muttered.
Tiger saw Mel as he followed Giratina. "Mel! Than Arceus you're
safe" he said in relief and ran over to his friend. He messed up a
jump and ended up on the wall.
Giratina flinched. "The gravity's messed up here." He
offered, watching Tiger hit the wall.
Mel lifted her head again and leapt to her feet. "Oh my god, you're
not dead!" She grinned and then glared at Giratina. "You're the
worst, you know that? We were fine."
Giratina made a shrugging motion.
Riolu and Dewott wasted no time in charging forward to tackle Mel
into a hug.
