35: Palkia and Giratina

Palkia's POV:

"Once more." I said, readying my rapier. "Right." Topas said, as he steadied his blade. We were perfecting our sword skills. *Clang Clak! Clak!* "..." I stood still, blocking every swing. "..." I saw an opening, and pushed his chest with my hand, causing him to stumble backwards. "Ah!" He fell. "You're getting better." I smiled. "That's good..." He sighed, as he got up and took a drink of water. "Remember that your blade isn't your only way of inflicting pain. You have your other hand and your legs to punch or kick when there's a good opening." I said. "But..." I said. "Finding an opening can be difficult for some." I said. "..." Topas was listening carefully. "Remember, our main objective is to rescue Legendaries." I said. "If a Chosen pair is fighting another Chosen pair, then the two legendaries will fight each other, and the two chosen will battle." I said. "That's why we need to be careful. Because if we're too late and they take over the legendaries, then their movements and actions will be unpredictable." I said. "Have you fought against other legendaries in the past?" He asked. "..." I looked down slightly. "Yes. I've even been forced to fight my friends." I said. "I've fought Darkrai numerous times. One time, we nearly killed each other..." I said. "Wow..." Topas said. "What about Giratina?" He asked. "Well, I fought him once, a long, long time ago. Before we had chosen." I said. "And why was that?" He asked. "Because I was told that he committed a crime, so we fought. I won, naturally. He lost, resulting in his banishment to the Distortion World..." I said.

100 years ago...

"..."

"Why are you tormenting the innocent lives of people and their partners?" I asked.

"Because... This world is disgusting." Giratina smirked.

"Why is it 'Disgusting'? It's perfect." I said.

"Because, there's no such thing as a utopia. There can't be light without darkness..." He laughed.

"You're a disgrace to us legendaries, and I shall fix that problem by sending you to an unpopulated, twisted world of your own!" I boomed.

"Oh really? TRY ME!" He said.

"I didn't want to do this, but I have to." I said.

75 years later...

"It's been far too long, Giratina." I said, entering the world I trapped him in.
