CHAPTER 890: WILL OF GIRATINA

The favor was Mew. Axel hardly took advantage of it, but sometimes he could not help but ask Mew for help.

Mew had two personalities. One was the carefree one, and the other was the calculating one. They took turns, and this time, it was the carefree Mew.

Mew had been a regular customer in his restaurants. It never wanted to meet with the public or chefs, so a private room was made where the chefs would put food and leave. The next day, the food would just vanish.

Now, the chefs were not stupid, and they wanted an explanation. However, Axel could not reveal Mew’s identity as Mew had strictly told it to be kept a secret.

So, Axel said that a powerful psychic-type Pokemon would come into that room to eat. This powerful Pokemon secretly protects the city.

Hearing this, the chefs and the staff were brimming with pride that they got to serve such a powerful Pokemon. So, each day, the best chefs prepared the food to the best of their abilities.

One day, the chef created a new dish based on Axel’s description. They first put the latest dish in that private room and wrote a question on the paper asking if the entity liked it, making a mark of ’Yes’ or ’No’.

The next day, the mark was ticked in ’Yes’, and when they introduced the new dish, it received very high praise.

So, it had now become a custom to first test the new dish with Mew, but Mew missed it because Axel called to talk about something.

###

"Oh, don’t worry about it. I promise that we will celebrate a day each year in your name. That day, we will bring all the food to you, and it will be very delicious, but first, you will have to help me with something," said Axel with a smile.

After hearing about the proposal, Mew’s eyes instantly glowed in purple light, and then it said, "Axel, I cannot help you in things that will give you a huge advantage. You do know that, right?"

Even though this was the carefree Mew, it knew where to stop being carefree. It was not called the mother of all Pokemon for nothing.

"Oh, I know that. But you also know the pressure that I have. The burden of saving this world. I would like your help with a few little things."

But Mew was not having it. It was waiting for what Axel wanted from it.

"I need a simple thing from you. It is not only for me but also for the residents of this town. There is a tower here and one of the door are locked from 1000 years ago. I don’t know what is inside that door, and I will open it tonight.

If something happens inside, please protect me and the people of this town. The chances of anything bad happening are not that high."

Mew thought about the proposal for some time and finally agreed.

Meanwhile, the commanders were looking at Mew as if they had seen a god. This was not the first time that they had seen Mew. But it was always a surreal moment to see Mew.

###

Everyone did their things throughout the day, like Alakazam was looking at multiple books to solve the puzzle.

After reading multiple books for the entire afternoon, it got some idea and said, "Axel, it looks like the lock and the seal are related to Giratina and the shadow realm."

"Really? Now, that is interesting. What else did you find?"

"The history pages are torn, and I cannot find all of it, but Shedinja’s species are also mentioned. This might actually be good for Shedinja."

When Shedinja heard it, it asked its teacher, Gengar, for advice. Very soon, Gengar teleported into his room.

Axel was always surprised by the multiple abilities that a god rank Pokemon held.

After hearing everything, Gengar said, "If it is related to Giratina and the shadow realm, then take this. This might come in handy."

It gave Shedinja a locket. The locket looked ordinary and was made of glass. It was transparent and had a circle in the middle.

"Why don’t you come there, too? You might be quite helpful over there," Axel proposed.

"I am sorry, but I cannot be near Giratina. If Giratina got a hint where I am, then there would be a big problem."

Saying those words, it gave a slight bow to Mew as a sign of respect and vanished again.

"Hey, at least tell me what this locket does!!!" shouted Axel, but Gengar was already gone.

Axel then looked towards Shedinja and asked, "Do you know what this locket does?"

Shedinja shook its head, saying that it had no idea.

’At least, we have Mew now, and there is this locket from Gengar’, thought Axel.

With Mew and the help of Gengar, Axel felt a bit relieved.

The night arrived very soon, and when everyone was asleep at around 12 a.m., Axel started moving towards the tower.

With an easy ’Hypnosis’, the guards fell asleep, and they all went inside. Very soon, they reached the gate.

"There is a lot of ghost-type energy here. I feel there is something big inside.", commented Mew.

Alakazam quickly summoned itself and started to work on the puzzle. It took around 10 minutes, and the lock finally opened.

Axel’s heart was beating very fast. He was excited to see what was inside.

Axel tried to push the door, but the door would not even budge.

"Let me help you.", said Mew. Its eyes glowed in purple light, and slowly, the door opened.

A white glow of light could be seen inside the room and as the door opened, Axel had to bend his knee to support himself.

"Cough.. Cough....."

Axel started to cough up blood. Aura was covering his whole body, but he still could not control himself. Suddenly, he felt that the suppressing pressure he was feeling had disappeared.

He turned back to see that Mew had helped him create a shield that covered his whole body.

Finally, Axel had time to look around the room. It was massive and looked like a big hall with stairs going up.

"Oh, my Arceus. What is this?", shuddered Axel as he looked at what was before him.

Before him was a big room that almost looked like a big hall. There were pipes all around the place. The pipes were completely black and as wide as a man’s height. They looked extremely sturdy. These countless black pipes seemed to be drilled into the floor, going down. Yet, the funny thing was that Axel had not seen any of those pipes on the lower floors.

What was happening? Where were those pipes coming from? Axe didn’t know, but he knew that this was not normal.

Axel turned around and asked, "Guys, do you feel anything?"

"I feel a lot of concentrated ghost-type energy. It is very suffocating even for me. These ghost-type energies feel different," said Shedinja.

Now, even Shedinja was feeling the suppression? It was a pseudo-champion rank ghost-type Pokemon with a ghost-type core. What was happening here?

Axel tried to remember what he was feeling like before, and he realized that he was coughing blood, not only due to the concentrated ghost-type energy but also from fear.

Axel didn’t know why he was feeling fear, but his instincts and aura senses were telling him to get away from this place. If Mew was not here, he would have run away. Axel also saw that Mew had applied the shield to Alakazam.

"Different? How different?" asked Axel.

"I don’t know. It is a ghost-type energy, but it is different in some way. I just cannot point it out."

At that time, Mew said, "It is a ghost-type energy from the shadow realm."

"From the shadow realm?"

"Yes, also known as the distortion world where Giratina lives. Those pipes are connected to mini portal that are sucking the ghost-type energy from the shadow realm. I don’t know who created this.

That is why Marcus also feels the suppression. Giratina influences the ghost-type energy from the shadow realm. That is why it is entirely different from the ghost-type energy from our world."

"So, the ghost-type energy from the shadow realm is stronger?"

"Yes, in some way. It has been purified as the shadow realm, which consists of ghost-type energy. But it is also influenced by the will of Giratina. So, Marcus cannot take it unless the influence is purified. If it does, then it would be under Giratina’s will."

This was the first time he had heard something about the shadow realm. And Giratina could modify the ghost-type energy with its willpower? Isn’t that like Conqueror’s Haki from the One Piece world?

He had learned something new today. Suddenly, he realized that only mayhem would await if this energy went out. He quickly turned back only to see that the doors had been locked. He sighed in relief.

"You think that I will not think of such a simple thing?", asked Mew with a smirk.

Axel looked at those pipes that were going to the upper floors.

"What is happening on the upper floors?" asked Axel.

"We will have to see, but I feel that the energy from the shadow realm is being stored there.", said Mew.

"But why?"

"I have no idea. Surprisingly, I am only feeling the aura of the shadow realm here. I could not feel it before. A genius designed this place."

At that time, Axel realized this was the serious Mew, not the carefree one. But that didn’t matter right now.

They decided to go up, and when they reached the 12th floor, the suppression from the ghost-type energy increased, and Shedinja felt that it could not move now.

"Mew, why don’t you help Marcus and shield it too?"

"I can do that, but Marcus must get through this alone. If it cannot even control the ghost-type energy while having a ghost-type core, then its future would be bleak.", said Mew.

Mew then started to give instructions to Shedinja on how to control the suppression.

An hour passed, and Shedinja fainted. It could not handle the will suppression from Giratina’s ghost-type energy.

"Sigh, it looks like it needs to rank up a bit to handle it.", said Mew.

’You think? You almost killed Marcus.’, thought Axel, but he didn’t voice it out loud. This was the serious Mew.

So, a psychic shield was placed on Marcus, and when it woke up, they started to move towards higher floors, finally reaching the 15th floor.

Floors 11th to 14th were the same, with big and wide pipes going to the higher floor, but the 15th floor was entirely different.

All the pipes seemed to be concentrated in a very big, entirely black vessel. Not even a shred of light came from that vessel.

Another device, like a big filter, was on top of that vessel. All of them looked ancient and mysterious.

"Mew, what is this?"

"This is a container of ghost-type energy from the shadow realm."

"A container? But why? Why would someone do that?"

"Axel, have you not heard of the Kalos-Galar war and Az?"
