[Tea Tree: A special crop, influenced by the power of Calyrex, from which trees grow. The leaves from these trees can be used to make delicious green tea, but cannot be consumed directly.]
In the Reversed World, Naoki looked at a Sky Island before him that had been cultivated into a tea garden, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction.
From now on, whenever he wanted to drink tea, he could come here directly to pick the tea leaves.
"Good job!" Having tilled the land on three Sky Islands in a row, Diglett was panting heavily. Looking at the exhausted Diglett, Naoki patted its head before saying to Giratina, "Let's call it a day for now!"
Giratina nodded its massive head, glanced at Naoki and the few Pokémon, and then opened the exit to the Reversed World.
Standing at the exit, Naoki waved goodbye to Giratina and then returned to the ranch with Calyrex, Koraidon, and Diglett for some rest.
As their figures disappeared at the end of the Reversed World, the spatial rift gradually vanished.
Giratina levitated in the void, its blood-red eyes sweeping in all directions.
Until now, it still found it hard to believe.
In just two short days, its realm had undergone a drastic transformation.
Not only was there grass and flowers, but even this place, unique to that world, had sunlight.
Filled with inner shock, Giratina slowly descended onto that Apple Hills.
It turned its head and saw those red apples hanging from the branches.
Giratina approached, opened its mouth, plucked an apple from a branch, and took a gentle bite. Juice burst into its mouth, accompanied by a rich fruity aroma, and Giratina immediately felt as if it was infused with new life.
The scene of vibrant growth in the Reversed World was still fresh in its mind.
After eating the apple, Giratina flew to the Sky Island filled with green tea trees.
It looked down on these low green tea bushes, sniffed at the leaves with its massive head.
Thinking of how Naoki valued these tea trees, it assumed they might be something delicious and curiously took a bite.
The next second, the bitter leaves twisted its face, making its already fierce appearance even more ferocious.
Giratina spat several times, then spread its blood-colored wings and flew back to Apple Hills, eating several sweet scarlet apples before feeling somewhat better.
"Phew..."
Feeling the sweet apple juice in its mouth, Giratina couldn't help but sigh with relief.
Looking at the Sky Island filled with tea trees not far away, it unhesitatingly decided to blacklist everything on it.
Having done all this, Giratina flew to the Sky Island blooming with flowers.
It stood amidst the sea of flowers, looking up at the bright but not dazzling, warm but not scorching golden sun above.
This was a sensation Giratina had never experienced since coming to this destroyed world.
In a daze, its mind seemed to conjure scenes of long ago when Arceus and Dialga were active under the sunlight.
Back then, it often watched the other sunlit world through calm water surfaces.
Was Arceus feeling the same way then as it is now?
Giratina stood dazedly amid the sea of flowers. Gradually, a warm feeling enveloped its entire being.
This made Giratina involuntarily relax completely. At this moment, it no longer wanted to cause trouble to gain Arceus's attention; it just wanted to lie quietly here, basking in the sun, going nowhere.
Thinking this, Giratina's massive body slowly lay down in the sea of flowers.
Its huge head rested gently on its forelimbs, smelling the flowers in front of it while basking in the warm sun.
At this moment, Giratina felt an unprecedented sense of contentment in its heart.
It closed its eyes and slowly drifted into slumber in the sunlight.

Though he called it resting, Naoki actually didn't just stay at home, transforming into a couch potato.
Compared to a few Pokémon exerting their powers, he wasn't very tired.
Back at the ranch, Calyrex went to the Glass Greenhouse, enjoying the winter sun while savoring tea served by Polteageist.
Diglett returned to its underground nest, happily carrying a bunch of snacks given by Naoki.
Koraidon, on the other hand, followed Naoki back home.
Naoki took a basket of Berries from the cabinet and said to Koraidon, "Go play for a while; I need to make Poffins for Dragonite."
"Aghhh..."
Seeing Naoki couldn't play with it, Koraidon drooped its head, feeling a bit deflated.
But soon, it was distracted by Glaceon and Alcremie's growls outside, and ran out to see what they were up to.
Watching this scene, Naoki silently chuckled, then focused entirely on preparing the Poffin mixture.
When the Dragonites returned to the ranch after delivering goods, two freshly baked batches of Poffins were just ready.
Naoki donned oven mitts and carried the tray to the living room.
The two Dragonites in the first batch were already very familiar with the process.
Even though they had gone through it many times, around this time every day, they still felt excited.
The two Dragonites stared unblinkingly as Naoki placed the freshly baked Poffins into their Poffin Box.
