Considering that Giratina was a bit unusual, Dak decided to take it to the lab for a checkup.
"You need to stay in your smallest form, okay?" Dak gently patted the giant insect beside him, unsure if the creature could understand him.
"Whine~" Giratina blinked.
Then, Dak led Giratina out of Pokémon Island. With Giratina personally creating a spatial gate, they could go directly to the lab without passing through Dak's bedroom.
Once they left Pokémon Island, Giratina uncontrollably reverted from its Origin Form to its Altered Form, growing to a height of 4.5 meters. The hatchery had a ceiling high enough to accommodate Giratina.
However, Giratina's size still nearly filled the remaining space in the lab.
Monet, who was in the lab, was startled by the sudden appearance of Giratina and stood frozen, staring at the formidable Pokémon that had appeared out of nowhere.
"Monet, this is Giratina, our hatchery's new partner. He's very powerful, maybe even stronger than Sceptile and Darkrai," Dak explained to her as she seemed stunned.
"Roar."
Giratina had a different demeanor when facing others compared to when it was with Dak. It acted like a spoiled child on Pokémon Island, but in front of others, it resumed its proud demeanor as the master of the Distortion World.
He was truly a dragon of contrasts.
"He's probably saying hello to you."
"Ah? Oh, hello, Giratina."
Monet came to her senses, bowing stiffly to Giratina, her heart still not quite calm. "Master Dak, you go ahead, I need to use the restroom."
She hurriedly left the lab after making an excuse.
"Whine?"
Seeing Monet leave, Giratina reverted to its previous demeanor, giving Dak a pitiful look with a tone that seemed to mix confusion and loss.
"She's not scared of you; she's just shy because it's her first time seeing you. She'll be more comfortable later."
Although Dak still couldn't understand what Giratina was saying, he guessed the gist of it. He didn't have the heart to tell Giratina that Monet might have been frightened by its fierce appearance.
Not everyone could appreciate the beauty of a Lord of the Distortion World like he could.
"Come, let's go inside, and I'll give you a checkup."
Dak opened the glass door of the diagnostic device.
Giratina obediently walked in on its six legs, then turned around to look at Dak with a pitiful expression, as if Dak was about to do something terrible to it.
Of course, such a "pitiful look" could only be perceived with a certain level of intimacy, which Dak had due to the system's bond.
If not for the system's added bond, Dak might have thought Giratina was plotting how to dispose of him.
The checkup took a long time, much longer than for King Lizard or Darkrai, taking a full five minutes, which was five times longer than it took for Darkrai.
[Giratina (Shiny)]
[Type: Ghost/Dragon]
[Ability: Pressure]

[Moves: Shadow Force, Draco Meteor, Outrage, Hyper Beam, Thunder, Earthquake.]
"!"
Dak was no longer able to stay calm as he read the information displayed on the screen; it was overwhelming.
First, the quality was red, the first red quality Pokémon Dak had seen, seemingly confirming his suspicion that red was likely the quality of first-rate gods.
Then, there were Giratina's abilities.
With eighteen types in existence and Giratina mastering moves from fifteen of them, it lacked only Poison, Bug, and Fairy moves.
Lastly, and most shockingly, Giratina's age was only one day.
How could a newly born Giratina be so powerful?!
Moreover, unlike Darkrai, Giratina has always been unique in the Pokémon world, never having a second one, let alone a shiny version which only exists in games.
Thus, Dak concluded that this Giratina had been created by the system just recently.
A baby dragon!
Thump, thump, thump.
"Whine~"
Dak, distracted, looked up when he heard the noise, turning to the diagnostic machine.
Giratina seemed uncomfortable inside and had started hitting the glass with its head.
Quickly, Dak opened the glass enclosure and led Giratina out.
"Giratina you're truly amazing."
Dak patted Giratina's head gently.
Giratina's level in the One Piece world was exceptionally high, a conclusion Dak made based on Darkrai's power level.
Although labeled as Lv.100, similar to Darkrai and King Lizard, the nature of this level was quite different.
Darkrai had been declared by the system to be comparable to the strongest historical figures of this world at the time of its appearance, equating to a level of Lv.100.
Sceptile, though not explicitly stated, likely possessed a similar level of power.
As for who these historical figures were, that was uncertain. They could be Imu, who has lived for hundreds of years, Rocks from the previous era, or the current era's Whitebeard. It was unclear.
However, Giratina was different.
Its nature was like, 'others score a hundred because they only have a hundred potential, but I score a hundred because the test only goes up to a hundred.'
If it were to fight those three, it might not utterly defeat them, but overwhelming them wouldn't be difficult, especially in its Origin Form.
If Dak could later exchange for the Griseous Orb, allowing Giratina to maintain its Origin Form even outside, then its real level would jump by ten, making it capable of potentially destroying this world.
"Hehe."
Seeing the gigantic baby dragon before him, Dak couldn't help but grin.
If previously he felt unsure about his ability to overthrow the World Government and Celestial Dragons with just Sceptile and Darkrai,
Now with Giratina, Dak felt that toppling the World Government and Celestial Dragons was no longer an issue.
But the world still needed the World Government to maintain a stable situation for the time being.
Dak would continue to develop the hatchery during this period, and his power wouldn't remain static.
With Giratina, three Pokémon were now more than enough to overthrow the World Government. The situation would only become more favorable in the future.
The World Government, from the moment of Giratina's birth, was no longer a major concern for Dak.
Now, the hatchery's biggest enemy was time.
Only when Pokémon became the mainstream of this era and most of the world's civilians possessed the power of Pokémon could the World Government completely disappear.
Otherwise, if the World Government fell and the navy lost its financial support during the ongoing Great Pirate Era, there would be no need to think further. Pirates would run rampant, looting and pillaging across the world, turning it into a realm dominated by pirates, with ordinary and kind-hearted people becoming lambs to the slaughter.
But when Pokémon became the mainstream, the situation would be entirely different.
Not to mention that ordinary people would have Pokémon for self-defense, making it difficult for pirates to harm or rob them.
Imagine holding a Pokémon tournament, offering rare items and the unique title of champion as the top prize. What attraction would the One Piece or title of Pirate King hold then?
By that time, pirates would be a thing of the past. When pirates couldn't steal or find treasures and had to face the navy's Pokémon forces, who would want to remain a pirate?
In contrast, participating in Pokémon competitions would be prestigious and profitable without risking life. Even if one didn't win, simply showing one's skills could lead to a job offer from the Pokémon Alliance, which would be far better than being a pirate.
"The era of Pokémon is coming, and trainers will become the mainstream in this sea."
Dak murmured with a smile, envisioning that bright future.
"Whine?"
"I'll be counting on your help from now on, Giratina."
"Roar~"
Afterward, Dak took Giratina out of the lab to introduce it to everyone.
Everyone's reaction was different.
Monet was still somewhat afraid, probably because of Giratina's constantly aloof appearance.
Sugar, Bon, and Bellamy thought Giratina was incredibly cool and went up to touch and pat it, nearly breaking through its stoic façade.
Iceberg, showing politeness, had two drops of cold sweat but also showed signs of joy. With Giratina's addition, Mr. Tom's safety seemed less worrisome.
As for Robin, her tastes always differed from others; she thought Giratina looked very cute, a sentiment Dak couldn't understand at all.
Darkrai, having spied Giratina's true nature, looked at it as an adult would a child.
A child that could pin him to the ground with one foot.
As for Sceptile...
Well, does it need to be said?
He was definitely itching for a challenge with the Lord of the Distortion World.
Unfortunately, Dak sternly stopped Sceptile from challenging Giratina this time.
A few hundred-year-old grandpa picking on a baby just born a day ago?
Do you have no shame?
