"Is destroying the Worldcore gonna free her?" Soda asked, looking skeptical. "It won't free her," Shield said. "It will kill her... and possibly stabilize the world. Arceus might be able to restore things afterward, since his power is there. But... Sword..." He furrowed his brow. "I was talking...

"Maybe," Cal said. "C'mon, let's go take a look. And not just because I'm kinda-sorta the same species." It probably had a small amount to do with it. Further ahead, the Charmander were huddled together and shivering. Ethereal, their faces were in perpetual smiles, but their eyes were riddled...

"...We should tell Shield and the others what we found when we return," Maple said, forming a portal for them all to go through. "Destroying the Worldcore is a last resort. We may have no choice but to do so... but..." While Shield was speaking, Bluk and Pecha were quietly discussing with each...

All the chaos and Shield was still able to keep it together, if only because Brisa had snapped him out of his initial stupor. He looked at Sword, or the Swords, and shook his head defiantly. "So, you're in the Worldcore? Fine--then I'll save you! You hear me, Sword?! I'm... not going to stand by...

Giratina landed with her siblings like before, looking left and right. With three heads, it was basically impossible for them to miss anything... not that it would be very hard. "Whoa..." Cal looked around, testing her feet on the strange semisolid ground. "What is this place?" "The very dark...

"...Follow me," Giratina said with a firm nod. "We can't really tell from here, can we? But the core is my home. So, stay by me, and you should be... er... relatively save." A dark power enveloped the undersides of the Reverse World visitors, and then got ready to fly down. "This way!"

Maple made certain that everyone present had survived. Headcounts, wellness checks, Heal Seeds where needed. Truffle was making his rounds as well, producing wards and invigorating healing as well--with the presence of the distortion gone, his techniques were at full strength once again. "...A...

"I think that will be our next spot," Giratina said, nodding. "Thank you for your help, Druddigon. We're leaving." Druddigon smiled happily, as did the presumably younger one, as they departed from the home and looked around at Downsideup City. "Well, it's good that the Reverse Pokemon can take...

Soda dodged out of most of them with ease, only getting nicked by a few. The illusions were quick to focus on Saltriv. "Goddammit," Soda shouted. "Idiot's a liability! Who brought the Bayleef here?!" He fished around for an Escape Orb, taking aim, before smashing it just in front of Saltriv--a...

The lights... flickered. The illusion hesitated, but then conjured yet another great blast, aimed this time at Icetales. Despite everything, it seemed like this one was going to hit its mark, and the reductions brought about by Icetales' magic would only slightly reduce it, now. But then the...

The abomination blasted them with a beam of Blacklight energy like before, but this time it was tinged with an ominously red aura. And, more importantly, Cynthian's attacks had not only hit the creature, but it also had some resistance to strike back. That wasn't an illusion. That thing was...

There was no source, only a lingering presence, possibly from spending an extended amount of time with a source nearby--no doubt because of the Blacklight. "Guys, keep it together! They aren't real! It's not--SHIT!" Soda dove out of the way when a Judgement attack had fallen from the air...

"Perhaps for the same reason we seem to be resistant to Shadows and Radiance while here," Giratina said. "The very properties of this world defy it..." "Well... I suppose a better question would be, what is happening?" Giratina used a few wings to gesture around her. "...The Reverse World is a...

It seemed that during their tumble, those that Truffle had been unable to save were taken down a side route within the cave. The walls still glimmered with odd crystals that were slowly changing to another color, undoubtedly for another attack. flickering images of Charmander and Mew floated...

Cola had appeared and tried to tilt Arceus aside, but it didn't work. Instead, Arceus and Empoleon both scowled at Cola, who was now batting his eyes at Empoleon just as Nate had envisioned, but to much less effect. Despite the failure, however, Soda had still snapped out of it and glared at...

"Happy memories about Sword... right... right..." Shield wondered if that would be enough. He had been thinking so much about trying to save her and how she had currently been acting. Maybe thinking about the past... could that awaken anything? "Sword," he said softly. "Do you remember the...

"Thankfully, emotions aren't reversed," Giratina said. "They're just a little more blunt. Oh!" She noticed what they were all looking at. "You must be talking about the Shades. Yes, apparently... ever since Joule had scattered so many in the Reverse World, they became companions to some of the...

The fireballs stopped and Truffle let down his barrier to recover. Maple eyed the way further into the caves, sensing even more distortion further inside. "If we go further, we won't be able to escape without clawing our way back," Maple reported. "We should go. This place is too dangerous on...

The cavern seemed to eat away at the light, but not enough that it was gone completely. The stars were still there as glimmering crystals, but the source of their glow had gone away, perhaps intentionally. Maple took the lead again and motioned for Truffle to stay behind her. She conjured a...

"Some things are best left not questioned," Giratina said. "Mortals that aren't native to the Reverse World... you're better off just trying to get answers that matter." "Rocks aren't that bad," Dialga murmured to himself. "Just depends on the kind. Feels the minerals you'd need." Palkia...
