[Initiation]
Sinnoh region, ascending Mt. Coronet...
"Is this really the place? Everyone here is so weak!"
"Patience... the real prize is still waiting for us."
"Yes, soon we'll have the power we've been looking for."
The three birds continued their ascent up the mountain, leaving a trail of knocked out and heavily wounded Pokémon behind them. They had gathered to this mountain from their home region of Galar for a specific purpose – to acquire more power and supplant the gods of this world. To do this, they had gathered three orbs of great power: Galarian Articuno held the Lustrous Orb; Galarian Zapdos held the Adamant Orb; and Galarian Moltres held the Griseous Orb. The three orbs of the creation trio.
The idea was that bringing the three orbs here would allow them to control the same powers as those three, to take them as their own. Would it work?
There was only one way to find out.
And soon, the three of them made their way to the Spear Pillar, a supposedly sacred site.
The orbs were now resonating with power, overflowing from the orbs, infusing with their beings, altering the space and time around them.
Three birds grinned at each other wickedly. Yes... this must be the place.
But before, they could celebrate their success...
"
WHO DARES TRESPASS HERE?"
...an ominous shadow arose from the ground in front of them. Red eyes, draconic wings – Giratina.
The Zapdos moved forward immediately, ready for a fight, but was held back by his two companions.
"Ah, Giratina... here to witness our moment of triumph?" asked the Moltres.
"
NO. I WILL STOP YOU."
"Hmph. You'd think you'd be on our side here," commented the Articuno. "But no matter. It's too late now."
Space and time were becoming more and more distorted around them, as the barriers of reality were being chipped away by the power of the three orbs. As Giratina manifested more of itself into the 'regular' world, it knew it would have to act quickly to stem off a disaster. If these three gained access to the powers of its two companions, there was no telling the havoc they could wreak.
It knew what it had to do.
"W-what the-!?"
"What did you just-!?"
"How did you-!?"
Using its own power to warp dimensions, it brought them into its own realm – the Distortion World.
"
YOU WILL REMAIN HERE."
But the three birds knew a way to counter this, and sneered at Giratina. Using the combined power of the orbs, they tried to warp space-time once more – this time to escape.
However, this time...
"
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"
...the walls didn't hold...
"
So long, sucker!"
...and a barrier came crashing down.
--
You... were completely unaware of any of this. You are a normal guy, who was suddenly woken up by a massive headache coming out of nowhere. You stumbled out of bed, your entire body feeling strange for some reason. But whatever, this would pass... you hope. The sun's up, so you go to open the blinds and...
...
...what happened to your hands!?
As a matter of fact, what happened to the rest of your body!?
...
You pinch yourself. No, you're not dreaming.
You run into the bathroom, turn on the light, look into the mirror, and...
"!"
...bellow out a massive, shocked scream.
