Reverse World ~ Core

[Namohysip]

Deep in the blue void, away from all the islands that were now decidedly above them, was a place where not even the ethereal light of the Reverse World reached. The surroundings darkened and went from deep blue to midnight to complete darkness. Any trip here required a fall, where even normal flying and wings would not be enough to escape the gravity well that pulled them down.

And yet, at the same time, any passerby's fall would also slow and slow and slow until, with little more than a gentle thud, they would crash onto soft, black ground that was neither mud nor water, but something in between. Solid, singular, impregnable, but jelly-like. It moved and shifted on its own. Those in these depths glowed at any part of this ground that they contacted, like it was reacting to their very energy. It was also the only illumination they would provide for themselves, aside from elemental attributes.

Otherwise, this lumpy flatland seemed to be completely empty.

Starr and Brisa arrived with that similar characteristic thud, the cool ground welcoming them. Without any sound or light, it was like the cave all over again, only this time without any water. But Boulder and Pebble wouldn't lie to them, would they? This was surely where they would be saved! It wasn't... some void of nothing at the depths of the Reverse World, right?

In the total darkness, left and right was meaningless. It all looked the same.

All except for a pair of red dots in the distance--eyes?--looking at them... and coming rapidly closer.

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 depths of the Reverse World," Giratina said. "The center of chaos, like the eye of a storm. It's difficult to get out of a place like this alive... without my help, at least. Even flying won't take you up. But..." Giratina looked around. "It seems being able to shift through reality itself isn't enough to stop Darkwhite..."

She gestured with a wing-claw ahead. There was a cluster of embers there, huddled together like they were looking for warmth. Each individual ember disappeared, one by one, very slowly. They looked like Charmander...
