Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior recap
Picking up after the battle in Alamos Town, Giratina drags Dialga into the Reverse World, angry at the damage the fight has done there. Shaymin, a small Pokémon riding on Dialga, escapes into the real world, and Ash, Dawn and Brock agree to take it to a flower garden where Shaymin gather to migrate. A portal pulls Ash, Dawn and Shaymin into the Reverse World, where they meet Newton Graceland, a scientist who once studied Giratina. His former assistant Zero has taken his research and wants Giratina's power to control the Reverse World. Shaymin touches a Gracidea flower, changes into its flying Sky Forme and travels with them. Zero captures Shaymin and uses it to lure Giratina into the real world.
Pokémon: Giratina and the Sky Warrior ending explained
Zero traps Giratina and drains its power, and Newton shuts down the machine too late; Shaymin heals Giratina. Zero's use of the power in the Reverse World sends a glacier toward the flower garden, where Regigigas and wild Mamoswine slow it. Shaymin pulls Zero back to the real world, his ship crashes, and the stolen data is lost. Giratina repairs the damage, carries Ash back and flies off after Dialga, and the Shaymin take flight.
