(Turning towards Daryl and tips him on the chest playfully) Humans Eh? Yer Not in yer Own head Yer Ya Consiousness tryin' to fight against Rage Possessing ya, like he 'as in many timelines and always will!
Boss, he's starting up again!
(The Fire flickered then roared into a massive pillar, embers, licked as the fire took it shape of a humanoid Fly, Like an Egyptian God, Animal Head on a Humanoid body, Muscular, Imposing and in Pain, it said one word before it reverted back to a small fire!)
UNNNNNNNNNWHHHHHOOOOOOOOLLLLLLEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
Yeah, we heard ya, the first 1000 times!
 Wait, is i am not really here, who come you are,
-Oh that's very Interesting you see, we are neither Human or From your Mind...
...It's because I am A Minor Cosmic Entity, Geddit? Dems like Fly-Boy got so involved in Playin' God wif Their Boardgames, They employed Literal Beings and Seasonal Beings to turn the flow of time! You Met and 'eard Of a Few, Santa Claus, The Elephant In The Room, Death, Old Man Misery....

As for your friends, The other Entities Never Forget A hero, it entertains them, in the new Universe they will be restored, with  different lives, but at least they will Live!

(Eamonn puts his hand into the flames, He say his Body destroying Buildings Flying on Steely Insectoid Wings he then saw a flash of a Heart filled with his power,)
 I Need It this Usurper is stopping me i am still UNWHOLE!
(Eamonn fell Backwards in the arms of Daryl)
...THERE...IS...ANOTHER....RAGE!
TO BE CONTINUED!

AND NOW OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION!

Continuing Onto Disc 2 of the Diamond/Pearl Special Edition Metal Case is the 11th movie overall, Giratina and the Sky Warrior.

We open to what will be your Archetypal Intro for the next 2 films also, Gotta catch em All, Explanation of what Pokemon are, Show Ash and his friends and then reveal the new toy that this film is about!

The Eponymous "Sky Warrior" is Shaymin, yes Shay-min not "Shaman", which was a shame because I was going to wax Lyrical Jokes from a Certain 90'S British Acid-House group!

Shaymin is also the "WHINY HEDGEHOG" I alluded to, and Her (Yes i know Legendaries are genderless in game, but Shaymin has a female voice so she's a she in this film!) Design is Lazy! Not Herdier levels of Lazy, but Pallette Swapping a generic drawing of a hedgehog to look like a grass-type and adding a Hibiscus to it's side is not inspired!

Shaymin is minding it's own Business, Drinking From a river, When Dialgia (From last month's film, he's the time god!) Also Stops for a drink, when From the Reflection, Something From Beyond our world Attacks Dialgia-Giratina

AKA, POKE-SATAN!
For all intensive Purposes, Whiter-Than-White Nintendo Created a Satan and a Hell it rules whilst trapped in. Even It's game Flavour text in the Pokedex, Claims it's the Renegade Pokemon, who "in time Immemorial, Rampage so hard it threatened Humanity and Pokemon alike until it was sealed away"

Now doesn't that sound like some Divine Comedy shit?

Well, the games and show maybe aimed at kids, But Pokemon when it wants to can be edgy! just look at the trailer for Detective Pikachu!

BACKSTORY!
In Gen 4, like so many games You were not Only Tasked in winning the league but to defeat The region's Evil Team, Team Rocket are Iconic, But Generation 4 saw Team Galactic, Thieves posing as an Energy Company.

In Reality, Cyrus, A stir Crazy (And Possibly Autistic) Machinist wants to Capture Palkia and Diagia and control nature to be efficient, he can make the world that Rejected him into a world that works like a machine and be a god...In Japan anyway! In Western Releases, he's plan is to "Remove Spirit" as in expunge Emotion!

However Cyrus Pissing of Existence Godzilla and Poke-Cronus only serves to Free Giratina, A shadowy Centipede that Continues it's Rampage!

So Out of the Reserve world( called Distortion World in Game) Giratina drags Dialgia to Poke-Hell!

You think Dialgia would have stopped time to drink in peace but nope! As His struggle are spied upon by An explorer trapped in the Reverse world and Some David Bowie Shoto Alien in a spacecraft called Zero!

As Shaymin gets stuck in the battle between both Gods, all 3 get dragged into the Reverse world, A world of floating rocks in an Auroral Void! The Battle causes Shaymin's flowers to wilt, Frightened The Hedgehog Shoots Seed Flare and Retreats the Satanpede!

"Curses! I've being Defeated By The Power Of LOVE!"
Yeah Now seems a good time to introduce Shaymin

You wouldn't have thought it, because of how it acts in this film, But Shaymin like all Legendaries are either Ultra Powerful Beings, Based on Myth, or Embodiments of  Nature, Physical and Metaphysical. Shaymin is The Gratitude Pokemon, making it's existence as A Chosen One Golden Child who needs to be returned via Pilgrimage

And Trust Me, Half of these Movies SUCK! Because Ash is almost a Chosen One in some Prophecy or another! But he is an Unwitting Chosen One, Shaymin is played straight, and it's whiny entitled nature winds up Everyone, So It Safe to Say no Kid will be crying, If this Hedgehog got ran over by a 18-wheeler!

So Shaymin Escape the Reverse World, after Seed Flare Causes a portal, Giratina tries to escape But Dialgia Traps Giratina in a Time Loop. Zero's Space Ship Parts the clouds and we see Zero is dressed in a Jumpsuit that resembles Giratina.

So I'm Thinking, Emo-Git, just by Haircut alone! What? Just because Giratina is Poke-Satan it doesn't mean we have Poke-Satanists!

Whilst Dialgia can fly, Shaymin Can't (SPOILERS!), And falls into a waterfall, At the end of weir in a port-town (Possibly Canaclave City, given Sinnoh is where this film's based!)  Ash and Crew are camped when a dust covered Shaymin raids the camp's food supply.

Feeling Threatened, the Shaymin uses the Seed Flare to Defend Itself. Dawn Chorales all the angry pokemon and washes the Legendary under a tap, Shaymin Reveals she can talk...By Complaining!

Fine. You want to be eaten by your Universe's Devil, Go Ahead!

Turns out Shaymin is Sick so we are stuck with her. Nurse Joy Gives Exposistion. Shaymin's Seed Flare Attack is essentially A trees Ability to Detoxify the air, weaponized, Breathing in Pollution and Expelling it as an Aurora of Seeds In raindrops. However one time, a shaymin absorbed so much Pollution, It's Seed Flare Destroyed a Forest rather than reclaiming it. Shaymin Continues to be Rude!

Shaymin demands that it is brought back to it's home in time for a festival in it's honour. But it's a long Journey. i'll say!

If this is truly Canaclave City, then the Journey Starts in the Most-Western Town, Shaymin is unlockable but can only be found in the Flower Paradise in Route 224, the Most Easternly Part of Sinnoh!

Eavesdropping are Team Rocket. Jessie James and Meowth Decide to steal Whiny Hedgehog For it's Rarity

Hugged by Dawn, Shaymin's Pink spots flower into more Hibiscus Flowers, Stirring Giratina in the Reverse World and stalks her any reflective surface, like a statue exhibit in a park, Shaymin feels it's presence and Panics, Allowing Team Rocket to Snatch Steal Shaymin, Only for Giratina to open a portal in a glass statue to suck Shaymin, Team Rocket, everyone Brock into the reverse World

The Reverse World is just that, Disjointed Reflections of our world, Houses with half rooms reflected in Square mirrors, Upside Down Landscapes, that are in fact Lakeside Buildings. It's a barren Limbo with low gravity, as close to hell without the fire and sulphur.

They are saved From Giratina by the explorer, who introduces himself as Newton Graceland, A Genius and Hero Researcher, To which Shaymin of all characters, calls him arrogant!

Graceland Explains that though Giratina can leave this world at anytime, he is puzzled to why he want's to eat Shaymin.

TO DO US ALL A FAVOUR?

Graceland leads Ash and Dawn To an Exit, Whilst On the Move, Graceland Explains that this world was in Unbalance after the Fight between Dialgia and Palkia (EDITOR NOTE-SEE LAST MONTH'S REVIEW!) Had infected The Reverse World with Poisonous Clouds of Negative Energy from the fear of the outcome of that Reality Tearing Battle, More than Usual. Blaming Dialgia and Palkia for this Disrespect on it's realm, Giratina Dragged Dialgia to kill him, But that's when Shaymin Came in, And when Shaymin used Seed Flare to make a wormhole, Dialgia put him in a Time Warp (AGAIN!) Graceland Leads Our Heroes Back To the Real World, But Team Rocket Are trapped and deputized into being Newton's assistants.

Zero is Still Tracking Giratina Who is still Trying to Surface, Brock is told everything when our heroes step from the Mirrored Statue, But Ash tell's his guide  the one warning Dr. Graceland gave him "Beware of Mirrors!" Ash turns to see Giratina Charging at full pelt, but still trapped!

That's when Zero and his magnet Pokemon Surround our heroes, fleeing, they catch a Train, Conveniently Going to the flower Garden.

Learning from the Devotees, The Flowers on Shaymin are called Gracedias and can only be grown at the flower garden, The pollen from a bouquet of said turns Shaymin from A whiny Hedgehog into flying Deer with Rainbow Dash's Voice
Image result for it's magic i don't have to explain
The Train is soon Captured by the magnet Pokemon, Thankfully Shaymin's new form is an improvement over the Whiny Bitchog and holds it's own, The devotees tell our heroes to take a ferry to the rest of the way,  one that goes through a glacial Valley
PLOT POINT!

After a set piece, Zero in his space-ship watches old video of when he was Graceland's assistant, confirming he is human, though it's pretty hard when you have a spaceship with no explanation! Giratina Surfaces and all the heroes are sucked into the Reverse World, with Zero Following suit!

Shaymin, Pikachu and Staravia (This Generation's Generic Bird Game Breaker!) Attack but just like the games, Shaymin reverts to Land forme at Night or in the presence of snow! Newton and Team Rocket are reunited with our Heroes and Zero's Motivation is revealed: I'm an Angsty Teen and Noone Understands Me, Stay Out Of My Room, Dad!

OUR VILLAIN, LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!

Shaymin's Temper tantrum allows Magnemite to capture All but Team Rocket. Zero forces Shaymin to detox all the Clouds of Negativity to cause a feed Flare so big to cause Giratina to leave, But he is not Done as Giratina is Capture by Laser Cage shot by the spaceship that starts Draining PokeSatan's power!

Graceland exposists he built the Spaceship, to Absorb Giratina's power to enter the Reverse world at Will, But he realized that doing so would kill Giratina.

Trust me, I know all about Defeating the Satan from Your universe, Not fun when you take it's place!

Conveniently, the heroes have landed in the Flower Garden and Whiny Hedgehog SHINKAAAAAAAHHHHH To Rainbow Dash Deer! Finding a futurama Slow mobile All but Brock take flight, Giratina is slowly Drained, but Zero Forgot to do one thing: Change the password so Graceland hacks the system, But by Shutting down the system, Graceland has Busted the Engines, The spaceship crashes, Giratina escapes but is weakened, Shaymin uses Aromatherapy to heel it, (Despite  Aromatherapy Being a status move that improves Healing, Not heal!) And the Pokemon who once feared Poke-Satan Now Gather to play!

He's Not Bad Just Misunderstood!

But Shocker Zero is back for Round 2, His Ship has Absorbed Most of Giratina's Power as he returns to the Reverse World, there he starts Shooting at Reflections to Destroy the Real World...Only to Awakening Something in Snowpoint Temple. As a glacier Encroaches Towards the Flower Garden Until A WILD REGIGIGAS APPEARS!
...And we didn't even have to transfer The Titans from Emerald to do so!

BACKSTORY
In Generation 3 We introduced The Legendary Titans, Regirock Regiice and Registeel In Generation 4 if you had caught all 3 in the previous game you could unlock Regigas, a Moss Covered Golden Titan and a Creature of Majestic looks and Raw Strength, Strength it uses to Push back the Glacier

With all the panic The Reverse world is filled with lots of Clouds of Negativity, And Shaymin absorbed it all to Cause a Seed Flare big enough to destroy Zero! In the resulting Wormhole, Ash, Shaymin, Pikachu, And Team Rocket escape as Giratina flies off...Possibly to Regain it's strength before Destroying Us All...But next mind that Shit, Shaymin has Learned a Lesson!

THIS FILM SUCKS!
The animation quality Has Dipped (with 3d Art like the Spaceship sticking out like a sore thumb) Shaymin's voice is annoying and there is no Semblance of a plot.
NEXT MONTH: DO YOU ACCEPT ARCEUS AS YOUR LORD AND MASTER?
