[{Chapter Start}]

A horse-like creature laid still on the ground with two orbs orbiting around the creature. The creature was the God of Pokémon Arceus. The two orbs continuously orbited around Arceus, as they continued healing it after a devastating defeat from the mysterious intruder beyond the void, beyond....anything it had seen before

"Now what?" A Pokémon with glowing blue skin asked. The Pokémon had glowing red eyes with a little dot along with shiny metal-like coverings on its body almost everywhere, giving it a mechanical look accompanied by a giant blue crustal embedded on its chest. This is the God of time, Dialga

"I don't know, if Arceus could not handle it, how could we?" A Pokémon standing opposite to Dialga said. It had white skin with purple like coverings on its skin, which made them look like tattoos that a rapper usually gets. It also had red eyes like Dialga and adorned a crystal on its arms, don't ask which one I don't know which one. This Pokémon is the god of space, Palkia

"I am...surprised" a confused and bewildered Dialga confessed. Upon noticing Palkia's inquisitive gaze, it continued "I did not know anything beyond our dimension existed, we thought the void was simply nothingness left by the great Arceus, but... it is something much worse than that"

A silence resounded between the two gods and they witnessed the orbs healing Arceus, shattering their image of the invincible God they worshiped, as they watched its bloodied form laying on the ground twitching from time to time. Perhaps to signify it was still alive, or perhaps because of its great trauma of actually being defeated once since its very birth. A difficult question to answer for sure.

The silence was broken when suddenly, a ripple appeared in the space they were in, surprising both Palkia and Dialga, causing an aura to appear on each Pokémon. A blue aura for Dialga and a white-purple aura for Palkia. What surprised them more than the ripple appearing in the middle of their meeting, was the person or should i say, Pokémon that appeared from the ripple

"Was Arceus just too arrogant to ask for help" A Pokémon with small wings on its back appeared. Oh wow this Pokémon is very complicated to explain. It has black wings, and black and red stripes and golden stripes??? And there's more stripes??? There's stripes on its legs too??? What is this Pokémon why does it have so many stripes is it a zebra or something?

...

"Was Arceus just too arrogant to ask for help" A Pokémon with small wings on its back appeared and having even more black wings on its wings. Its body contained stripes of black and red, and golden stripes making it look like a type of Exo-skeleton. It has 6 legs each covered with golden strips and golden claws along with It's head having gold and had red eyes. This was Giratina, the God of something, don't even think it's a god honestly, wasn't it banished? Doesn't this make him Lucifer or something? Well I guess the reverse world is sort of like hell.

"How did you get out?" Palkia asked in a serious tone not relaxing in the slightest, and tensed even further along with Dialga. Giratina may have been one of them long ago but due to its hate for everything, and being overly aggressive, Arceus was forced to banish it to the reverse world or the universe would have been destroyed before it was made. To think there was so much fighting amongst the three before anything was even made, which truly describes the quote

Destruction comes before creatio"

"Hum, been a long time since I saw you both" Giratina said as it didn't bother fighting with Dialga and Palkia considering it knew it could not defeat these two at the same time, so it was best to not show any form of hostility, not that it's ideal right now with the situation at hand "I believe our last encounter was when I battled you for releasing that black fog in my dimension" Giratina hummed as if nostalgic "Yes, there was that Shaymin and that human, hmmmmmm, Ash Ketchum was it?" Giratina hummed "Heh, interesting human, not only did he manage to take down Hoopa who controlled all of us, but somehow even calmed Arceus"

"Don't speak of his name like that, we all owe him a great deal" Dialga spoke with narrowed eyes, as Dialga and Palkia looked at Giratina. "And you still didn't answer how you got out of the reverse dimension" Palkia asked, as it finally relaxed

"Don't worry, I also owe him a great deal" Giratina said, with somewhat of a nostalgic look, "Even if they both did result in a worse and stronger prison for me, where i actually had no way to escape". Giratina then sighed "Unfortunately, it has been thousands of years since we last met that kid, and I have no idea where Celebi is"

Giratina then looked at the fainted body of Arceus as it let out a dark orb which also started orbiting Arceus. "Here ". Giratina then looked at the bruised body of Arceus "I was surprised too when the prison that imprisoned me started to weaken, and imagine my surprise when I break out, and see Arceus of all Pokémon bruised up and needing the help of you two to heal back up. We three cannot defeat Arceus, so whoever did this, is way out of our power, which means you both not only need the help of Arceus, but a Pokémon as strong as Arceus."

Palkia looked around and sighed. It really did not believe infighting was a good thing at this time, especially since Arceus was vulnerable, leaving their universe to other-worldly threats. "The only Person I know of as strong as Arceus is Necrozma, but that bastard hid himself in Ultra-space, a place my authority does not reach"

"What is the guarantee that he will help us anyways" Dialga asked as it looked at the both of them. "Necrozma already has its own space like Arceus, why would it help our Universe?". Giratina then had a thoughtful look "I heard Necrozma is restoring its power, you both could battle it and possibly force Necrozma to join you". Palkia then looked at Giratina "If Necrozma is weak enough to be defeated by us right now, we don't really have much need of him then do we?"

"Any luck finding the Adamant Crystal?" Dialga asked Palkia who shook its head. "The Lustrous Globe?" The Dialga asked Palkia hopefully causing Palkia to shake it's head yet again." Unfortunately" Palkia said "I found nothing, though i didn't search for the Griseous Orb, you may have to start checking all the timelines Dialga"

"I don't get it" Dialga said "Their only supposed to be relics of some clan, how can we not find it?". "I think we know why" Palkia said shaking it's head. "I'm going to look for the Griseous Orb now as well" Palkia said as it made a portal, but stopped as a haze appeared in front of the portal. A haze that looked eerily similar to the haze that appeared in the distortion world

And the only Pokémon that could do that was…

Palkia looked confused, as it turned towards Giratina, who simply looked at them both

"Giratina?" Palkia asked in a wary tone. "You looking for the Griseous Orb indicates that I am willing to help you, which could not be further from the truth" Giratina said, as its eyes flashed red

"Ridiculous" Dialga roared "Everything is coming to an end, and you won't help us?" Giratina merely chuckled at what Dialga said, as if telling a joke

"I was imprisoned since before the birth of the universe itself" Giratina chuckled...loudly. Giratina never chuckled

"AND THEN YOU BOTH FIGHT OVER A MISUNDERSTANDING" Giratina ROARED in anger "AND IT WASN'T JUST A PETTY FIGHT NONONONONO, YOU BOTH ALMOST DESTROYED ENTIRE GALAXIES AND POSSIBLY THE UNIVERSE, OVER A MISUNDERSTANDING"

"AND THE BLACK FOG FROM THAT FIGHT, COMES IN MY HOME, WHERE I WAS MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, AND IT ALMOST DESTROYS IT" Giratina said in rage "AND WHEN I GO OUT TO FIND YOU, GUESS WHAT HAPPENS? NOT ONLY DO YOU BOTH GET SPARED FOR ALMOST DESTROYING THE UNIVERSE, BUT I UNFAIRLY GET PUNISHED FROM IT"

"But you helped heal Arceus" Palkia said, as it got ready to fight, along with Dialga. "Help?" Giratina asked in an amused way "I never said the orb helped Arceus". The two of them widened their eyes, as they looked at Arceus, only to see it's body rotting and getting darker. Dialga immediately used to destroy the orb, and looked back at Giratina

"You said you couldn't find the Adamant Crystal or The Lustrous Globe?" Giratina asked as two items floated out from his wings, startling Dialga and Palkia. Palkia looked on in shock,"Th-thats, no wonder I couldn't find them, you stole them! Return them at once"

"Stole them?" Giratina chuckled "I never stole them, I just took them". Giratina and Palkia readied themselves "You cannot defeat the both of us" Dialga said as it teamed up with Palkia. "Maybe not normally" Giratina chuckled, as it brought up a yellow diamond and though it looked like a mere uncut diamond, it was terrifying in the eyes of Dialga and Palkia. The yellow diamond starts glowing as it floats up proceeding to turn into streams of energy, as it circles Giratina enclosing it in a closed ball of energy that turns into a blinding light. The light then fades away, as it reveals a much.....different looking Giratina.

"But I can in this form" Giratina chuckled." Besides....". A darker and heavier voice spoke as well,

"Giratina was never alone"

a mysterious voice spoke startling both Palkia and Dialga. "YOU" Palkia roared as it took sight of the enemy, none other than the mysterious being that resulted in possibly Arceus' first ever defeat

"Hmm" the being hummed "I suppose I should find out how time and space work in this world, so, please do enlighten me". The being raised it's hand towards Dialga and Palkia, "Now" the being chuckled "En Guarde"

[Back to Matsumoto]

{You have successfully completed the rescue at Tiny Woods!}

{Your Pokémon have gained +200 EXP}

{Mudkip levelled up to LVL 8}}

{Treecko levelled up to LVL 8}}

{Rotom levelled up to LVL 8}

Matsumoto's world turned black. Although it was only for a short time, it was enough for Matsumoto's body to shiver. He then looked at his body, and the darkness around him. He always knew why the darkness scared him, he was scared of darkness since he was a kid. So terribly scared, that he could not go to the 2nd floor and sleep on his own till he was 11, but after that he simply....stopped being scared of it. He decided he would just make life miserable if he continued this, and he just stopped

He got his own room, and when he felt scared, he simply watched some YouTube. this routine went on for days and weeks and eventually after a few months, he was no longer scared of the darkness anymore and when he turned into a teenager he simply stopped caring about it as he roamed his house for hours and hours and then....that's it

But this darkness is....different. It was the darkness from he witnessed the destruction of his entire universe, everyone he knew about, it was honestly more of a murder trauma then just darkness, losing everyone you knew can be traumatizing. 'Honestly, it's times like these i wish I had Gamers Mind'. Now he understood why basically every gamer had that skill, not facing any sort of mental backlash and just being able to move on with their life and becoming someone great

And honestly, when Matsumoto saw himself like this he didn't feel scared or tried to encourage himself or even pity himself, he just....felt annoyed, annoyed at the fact that he's still blaming himself for something that was bound to happen, annoyed that he still knew all this but just couldn't MOVE ON. 'Calm down' Matsumoto thought 'it's not even been a day since all of this happened, i would be more concerned if i could shrug it off like nothing without even mourning'

'Time heals all wounds' Matsumoto thought, but he knew that even time cannot heal all wounds

"My baby's safe" The Butterfree said as she flew next to Caterpie which was weird, since mothers would have usually strangled their children in a hug by now considering what they went through, and how worried the parents would have been, I mean, if my child fell into a ravine filled with wild animals that could easily kill him, I would have suffocated him with my hugs

"I'm sorry" The Butterfree said as she composed herself, and....wiped her tears....with her wings? What the hell is going on? "I don't know how i could ever thank you".

Matsumoto didn't know how to respond, since he really just believed that Caterpie was dead, and he simply wanted the EXP from the battles

"Could you at least tell me your names?" The Butterfree asked her benefactors. "I'm Matsumoto" he pointed to himself, then he pointed to Treecko "Uh...call him whatever you want I guess??""Treecko!" Then he finally pointed to the shiny Mudkip, not that it mattered, Matsumoto has two shiny Pokémon anyways "He's Blossom", then he pointed his hand to the floating Rotom "That's an advanced Game boy""Bzzt-Hey"

"Thank you, thank you" Butterfree said as she looked at the 4 in gratitude. The Caterpie looked at them with shining eyes "Cool". This caused both Matsumoto and Blossom to sweat drop 'Wow, I feel even more guilty now'.

"Please, we don't have much, but take this as a token of thanks from us"

{Congratulations, you have obtained the following items:

+500 Poke

+Empowered Oran Berry

+Oran Berry}

Suddenly, Matsumoto's vision darkened, and the world around turned into darkness

"Bzzzt, so, how was your first experience in the dungeons?". Rotom floated in front of Matsumoto, who groaned and rubbed his forehead. "Hmm, travelling from Universe-to-Universe does do that to a normal human mind, though much worse than a slight headach-". Whatever Rotom was about to speak, was interrupted by a growl, "Rotom, stop talking for a while please" Matsumoto said as he massaged his forehead. Matsumoto always knew a way to deal with a headache most efficiently

So he slammed his head into the wall

"Bzzzt, what the fuck"

Rotom had never seen this shit before, he was...hitting his head?"Bzzt, what are you doing?" Rotom asked his master. Stupid or not, Rotom will still recognize him as his master, just like every Pokémon he had. Had Matsumoto heard his thoughts, he would have teared up, while punching his head that is

"Well, I learnt that whenever I hit my head during a headache, it actually helps with my headache" .Matsumoto then massaged his head, with his headache gone, he looked at his team of Pokémon, and sure enough, Mudkip was right there along with Treecko and Rotom, all in their shiny forms. 'I don't know if I should feel happy that I never have to go through selective breeding again, or the fact that pretty much all my efforts and the time I spent in there was worthless'. Matsumoto then looked at his team 'Well, not worthless I suppose'

Matsumoto then checked his clock, then he realized that he did not in fact check the time when he entered the Dungeons

"Bzzzt, no time passed since you went into the Dungeons, since time stops in this Universe when you enter the other Universe" Rotom said, making Matsumoto nod excitedly "So I can just go in, and come out, and no one will notice?". "Bzzt, people with time related Quirks might sense the disturbance in the flow of time". Matsumoto got a bit shocked "There are people with time related Quirks in this world?" Matsumoto asked in shock, if time related quirks existed then All Might would not be the No.1 hero. I mean, strength against someone who can manipulate time?

Well it would make sense if the person is strong enough to break time and dimensional boundaries then yeah, that could work but All Might is not strong enough to do that, unless he...is? Matsumoto shook his head 'I'm starting to sound like those dumb MHA fan boys stating stuff like All Might could solo fiction or something'. Matsumoto sighed as he stretched his back, "Well whatever, we'll get to that, when we get to that .I'm fairly sure that some Pokémon can counter Space-Time Problems". Matsumoto then pulled up his system as he tried to enter the Dungeons, but it flashed with a message instead

{Error, Dungeons can only be entered once every 24 hours}

"....Bruh"

"What do you mean? I can only complete one mission every 24 hours?" Matsumoto roared in anger. "Bzzzt, your Pokémon already levelled up a lot in just one run, why are you so mad?" Rotom asked, despite being a fully functional machine EXCLUSIVELY for helping trainers in Pokémon related issues. Matsumoto sighed as he shook his head "This much EXP may be good for early stage, but when they get to high level, who knows how much EXP they would need. For all I know, one trip may not even be able to level up once"

He then sighed as he laid down. "What now?" Matsumoto asked to no one in particular as he slammed down on his floor collecting his thoughts as he let reality sink in.

He was always baffled when he read fanfics, where one moment the MC gets transported to another world, and has his mind set on becoming the strongest in the next moment uncaring about anyone else in their family. They acted like they HAD to become the strongest despite having no obligations to do so, but here he was, following in their footsteps.

"What…is my purpose here"

And as to answer that, he immediately jumped up as Rotom started producing Loud noises. "Bzzzts, high energy levels detected" his Rotom as he then sensed something as it flew out. Matsumoto raised his eye, but followed Rotom nonetheless since he had nothing else to do.

Immediately he was attracted by the two blurs speeding in the sky

*BOOM*

They sped past his house, generating enough wind pressure to knock him back a bit. He then got up rubbing his back as he stared at the two blurs

"Was that....All Might?"

Then who was the 2nd blur?

{Transition brought to you by Raid Shadow}

"SMASH"

A huge gust of Wind whipped up, and propelled forward at dangerously lethal speeds, tearing off entire posts and destroying the roads, but all of it was nothing compared to the power that the damn punch, or as he said it, smash held as it rained down tearing apart the air. This much force could level mountains, and even in the world of Quirks, no sane person would ever take this punch head on and if they did, they would either die or die

*BOOM*

And then, there was someone who took his lunch head on, and lived. Not just lived, even managed to cancel out the punch with his own strength. This certain someone being a white haired menace to society, smiling down at All Might despite him being above him, trying to exert force on the man.

"One for All has grown huh? No worries, I will end it right now…All Might"
