Master Craftsman of the Pokemon World

"Daring to invade the workshop, what audacious fellows!"

Giratina, peering into the real world through the mirror, merely intended to check on the workshop's condition today. Little did it expect to discover a wild Pokémon invading the premises!

As the contractor of the Light Moss, invading the Light Moss's workshop is equivalent to invading its own Reverse World. This was, of course, intolerable, and it had to strike back in its Origin Forme immediately!

A terrifying roar, carrying immense suction, formed a dreadful vortex!

Scizor, flaunting its Rare Candy, was startled by this piercing cry. The candy lodged in its throat, nearly causing it to choke. Its eyes widened in shock as it pounded its chest with its massive pincers!

Scizor used "Knock Off" on itself! It's super effective!

"Chahas!"

W-What is that?!

Scizor turned its head. That power engulfed the entire kitchen in shadow, like black mud. The Rare Candies and Energy Cubes within the kitchen vanished. Scizor saw a scarlet eye staring directly at it from inside the mirror. This horror-movie-like scene didn't frighten Scizor in the slightest. After all, it's a wild Pokémon!

There are too many Ghost-type Pokémon in the forest. It had seen plenty. 'Show your true face!'

Scizor wasn't afraid at all, as if possessing the illegal Hidden Ability, 'Defiant.' It punched the mirror!

The crimson pincers glowed with a silvery light. A punch was thrown, forming a storm of silver light rain, spinning and creating numerous fist shadows, covering the entire mirror and the wall!

After Scyther evolves, it automatically learns its most important move—"Bullet Punch!"

It strikes the opponent with a punch that is as fast and hard as a bullet, ensuring a priority attack!

However, the silvery fist shadows vanished the moment they struck the mirror's surroundings, disappearing without a trace. Moreover, strange undulations and ripples appeared around the mirror. The dark shadows, connecting to another world, revealed a scarlet, cruel glint. The black mud seemed to form the shape of a dragon, biting Scizor directly!

"Has?!"

The Bullet Punch attack was completely ineffective, just like how Normal-type moves are almost useless against Ghost-type Pokémon. However, this was a Steel-type move; how could it have no effect?

Even though Scizor's nature was "Bold," it couldn't help but panic now.

The current situation, the encountered phenomenon, defied common sense and exceeded the bounds of a regular "battle!"

What exactly is this power?!

The vortex in the center of the mirror began to spin faster, and a powerful suction pulled Scizor toward the world inside the mirror!

The world turned upside down in an instant. The scene before it changed drastically. The workshop, filled with a plethora of items, comfort, and the essence of daily life, disappeared. In its place was a gloomy, ancient, abandoned workshop, marked with dark spots and cracks everywhere. This building seemed to have aged a thousand years in an instant, becoming dilapidated and on the verge of collapse.

Where is this?

Scizor felt the power still tugging at it. Having just devoured Rare Candies and Energy Cubes, it had experienced tremendous growth. Feeling the newfound power within its body, its bold nature drove it to do things that ordinary Pokémon couldn't comprehend!

Just like facing that Rock Titan, if it couldn't win the first time, it would challenge it repeatedly! And now, no matter who was attacking it, if they dared, they should fight it!

"Has!"

Another Bullet Punch!

The violent Steel-type light shattered the gate of the abandoned workshop. Scizor emerged from the rising dust and shadows, its eyes blazing with high fighting spirit!

Alright, no matter who is fighting me, I will definitely make them understand what powerful Steel-type strength is!

"Gaa!"

Giratina used Will-O-Wisp (Blue Fireball version).

That Pokémon, flying in the sky like a black-gray-gold centipede or a shadow dragon, directly launched a blue, high-temperature fireball at it!

Boom! It's super effective!

Scizor's mind was still stuck on 'What the heck is that Pokémon?' when it was hit head-on by the Will-O-Wisp!

Will-O-Wisp, also known as ignis fatuus, is described as emitting eerie flames that inflict a burn on the opponent. Many Pokémon can learn it, but the effect varies greatly!

Giratina's Will-O-Wisp looked like an intensely burning blue fireball, resembling a weakened version of Reshiram's signature move, "Blue Flare." Not only did it possess powerful impact and force, but it also guaranteed to burn the target. This was no longer a common "Will-O-Wisp" move!

The immense fiery power burned Scizor, causing it to cry out miserably. Although the Steel/Bug typing canceled out all other weaknesses, it left the sign of a strong Pokémon—a four-times weakness to Fire!

"Has?!!!"

Scizor was burned!

Moreover, Giratina's special Will-O-Wisp carried immense power. This single attack almost made Scizor see its deceased father on the spot. A flashback began to flicker in its mind, recalling the scenes when it was a weak Scyther being frequently attacked by wild bird Pokémon, and a giant Rock Dragon chasing it...

"Has!"

Scizor persevered for some reason!

Triggering a flashback in a critical moment, this is an ability exclusive to strong Pokémon!

You strange Pokémon, don't underestimate me!

I can't die in this inexplicable place!

"Gaa?"

Giratina's eyes widened slightly. It didn't expect this workshop-invading thief to be quite strong. Of course, it was still pathetically weak compared to itself!

Seeing Scizor, burned all over and kneeling on one knee but still not falling, Giratina questioned it!

"Gaa? (You, why did you enter this workshop? This is not a place for you!)"

Of course, it had to speak the language of Pokémon to a Pokémon.

"Has..." Scizor gasped for breath, the burn constantly tormenting it. Although it had endured, it would eventually lose consciousness and be defeated if it didn't counterattack.

Why did it enter the workshop?

So that's how it is... This Pokémon is also that human's helper! Scizor became wary and felt incredulous!

"Has... Has Has Has!"

Why appear in the workshop? Of course, it was to become stronger!

To obtain powerful items to make itself stronger, and then defeat all the Pokémon in the forest and become the overlord of the outer forest!

"Has? Has!"

How can a naturally strong Pokémon like you understand the feelings of a weak Pokémon? When I was first born, I was attacked by numerous bird Pokémon and chased by a Rock Dragon. I escaped to the outer forest and barely survived by using all my strength to become stronger, using any means necessary. This has become a part of my life!

"Gaa aaa..." Giratina roared, rebuking it. The immense dragon roar made Scizor feel a little intimidated, but with its bold nature, it wouldn't be easily frightened!

Giratina: Wanting to become stronger, you invade other people's territory. Even I wouldn't do such a thing. That workshop is an important place, and I cannot allow you to mess around there! After the workshop's owner returns, you must pay the price for your actions!

"Has——" Scizor sneered.

It was a wild Pokémon; it didn't follow any rules!

Giratina narrowed its dragon eyes. From Scizor, it seemed to see its own shadow.

The unruly, arrogant, and unscrupulous behavior was too similar to its past self.

And now, Giratina's mindset had changed. So when it saw Scizor, this "comparison," it deeply felt the immaturity of its past self.

That feeling of frustration and disgust was probably how Arceus once looked at it.

So, that's what I used to be like...

No wonder, if I were in that state...

This Scizor in front of it, if it were the past self, it would probably appreciate its attitude and even bestow "Wrathful Bolt" upon it, turning it into a golden form similar to the "Hisuian Kings."

But now, it wouldn't do such a thing!

The former self caused trouble and frustration for everyone because it believed it was unfair, but such a thing doesn't exist in the world of Pokémon. As one of the first Pokémon to be created, it also had a mission to shoulder.

Even now, it still hadn't given up on avenging itself against Arceus, but the "process" of this revenge was no longer the foolish "challenge" of the past.

All life will encounter other life, and...

New things will be born!

"Gaa!"

In that case, I won't use Fire-type moves. I'll use other powers to compete with you. If you lose, you must obey my orders! If you refuse, you will never be able to leave this world!

Giratina made a request to Scizor and threatened it!

Then, Giratina howled at the "sky" of the ruined world. Huge dark clouds gathered and then began to drizzle.

White smoke rose from Scizor's body, and the blue Will-O-Wisps finally disappeared. It struggled to stand up, moved its pincers, and issued a challenge! Then it leaped with all its might!

The gravity of the ruined world was quite strange. Pokémon with strong leg strength could easily jump in mid-air. Scizor's body was heavy and couldn't fly, but it could briefly "hover" with its powerful strength... It could do it here!

Bullet Punch!

The silvery light smashed towards Giratina!

Giratina narrowed its dragon eyes.

A rebellious, pitifully orphaned brat, let me personally guide you back to the right path!

There are many, many strong people in the world. Becoming stronger by any means has its limits. Your wrong actions will lead to greater disasters, and you don't understand any of this yet!

Giratina used Dragon Tail!

The immense power swept away the Bullet Punch. A look of horror appeared in Scizor's eyes. Giratina's tail rapidly enlarged in its eyes. The unmatched, fierce power struck its body, sending it flying with a Dragon Tail, like a kite with a broken string or a meteor that couldn't stop, crashing into a distant floating island, causing a cloud of smoke!

Before losing consciousness, Scizor felt a sense of powerlessness.

What... What terrifying power is this!

Even though it had eaten so many candies with magical power, it was still insufficient!

Seeing Scizor lose its ability to battle, Giratina used its soul power to inform Light Moss, who was far away in the Rock Peak Ruins, of what had happened here.

The workshop-invading thief has been caught and is being dealt with!

Let it be the first guest of the Reverse World and fully experience the beauty of this new world!
