Cynthia

Giratina! Keep it together!

Volo

HAHAHAHA! Talk to it all you like! It'll make no difference!

Can't you feel it? The chill creeping through your veins, the hatred icing your heart?

Nobody can stop Giratina now! Not until its need to take down Arceus is fulfilled!

Also...

I won't let you run away from me again!

Looker

Urgh!

Paulo

Th-they're strong!

Anabel

I wasn't expecting them to be this powerful!

Rei

Cynthia! Let me help, too!

Cynthia

Thanks! I appreciate it!

Volo

You outsider! Getting in my way again, are you?!

Cynthia

Now!

Giratina!

Rei

No! Wait!

Cynthia

Wha, ?!

Garchomp!

Urgh...

Rei

Cynthia!

Volo

Almighty Arceus above! Behold the glorious conclusion to my effort!

???

Your plan is incomplete.

Volo

You, !

Dawn

Cynthia! Are you OK?!

Volo

Cyrus! Why are you helping THEM?

Our goals are aligned! We BOTH want to recreate this world!

Cyrus

I don't see how you could control Arceus if you can't even awaken your arc suit.

Volo

What?!

Cyrus

At this rate, it's more likely Arceus would accept someone from this side, and grant them its power.

This decision is the obvious one.

Volo

Ngh!

Cyrus

I don't recall entering a pact with you in the first place.

Perhaps if you were a competent merchant, you'd have written up a contract.

Rei

Volo... Please, stop.

Nothing good will come of this.

Volo

You all choose to mock me, then?

Fine.

I'll admit, I was unprepared this time. But mark my words...I will be back.

Cyrus...

I hope you don't regret this later.

Rei

Thank you, Cyrus.

You came to help.

Cyrus

I simply made the decision that was best for Team Galactic.

Rei

I suppose you did.

But...if Team Galactic is anything like the Galaxy Expedition Team, I'm sure even if there were nothing in it for you...

???

I promise you...

I will pass down the name of our team, and tales of its accomplishments...

Cyrus

How you can place such trust in thoughts and hopes that are uncertain is beyond me.

Looker

Rei.

Paulo told me what you two were thinking.

I'm sorry.

In the end, it seems our actions only spurred Volo on.

Anabel

I'm so sorry. If only I'd been more careful.

Rei

Please, don't apologize.

You were just doing what you had to.

I'm the one who should apologize, for dragging Paulo into all this.

Paulo

You didn't do anything wrong, Rei! If anything, I should've...

Rei

Actually...

I should've talked to everyone before it came to this, rather than keep it a secret.

Lucas

I can't believe Volo tried using Arceus's power for evil.

Dawn

How should we stop him?

Cynthia

I suppose all we can do is show him the strength of a true bond.

Let's get more of us to awaken our arc suits, to force him to reconsider. It's all we can do.

The power of Arceus...

Dawn

Cynthia? What's up?

Cynthia

About Giratina...

According to legends, Arceus banished it to the other side of this world.

So Giratina may have objected to me using Arceus's power.

If so...I'm also responsible for this.

I should've considered Giratina's feelings, too.

Dawn

... ... ...

Cynthia

Don't worry, you two!

I'll definitely regain Giratina's trust. Just you wait!
