So I’ve been mulling over some more ideas for my Wayward Son Au and one idea just WON’T leave my head.Â
So you know how Giratina is supposed to represent Antimatter according to Gamefreak? Well, I’ve also seen some convincing videos that Giratina actually controls Gravity. Well me, I’ve decided to combine those two ideas together and say Giratina is the being of ALL matter, since Antimatter is just matter made up of the opposite material and can be used to make the same things, just opposite, and gravity is a side effect of matter having mass. So the creation trio is Time, Space, and Matter.
With that explanation out of the way, the scene that’s stuck in my head right now is that of a still young Giratina unable to fully control his powers and stricken with grief when he finally understands his mother isn’t coming back for him. He loses it, and he starts ripping the Unova region apart without realizing it, changing the properties of matter around him and causing much of the region to float. If you’ve seen the ending of the anime movie Patema Inverted, that’s basically what happened.
Giratina gets pulled out of it eventually by Arceus and the Lake Trio and gets taken to where it will help create a new world. I’ve changed the ‘exists outside of time and space and can be born in the world they create’ thing for the Creation Trio and made it to where the Sinjoh event is creating a member of a new trio to create a new world, like the mega universe vs the non mega universe. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire DID prove that there are multiple parallel pokemon universes in canon, so I’m making it to where each has it’s own Creation Trio, born from a previous world.
And while Arceus probably CAN fix the damage done to Unova/the world by Giratina, it’s also given me the idea for the backstory to the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon universe. All of the pokemon know what humans are, or were, and the first few games at least had some abandoned human facilities. If all of the humans fell into the sky a la Patema Inverted, well...
