Strictly speaking, he and Giratina had never formally met.

Zoroark blinked at Giratina’s words, then narrowed her eyes slightly.
“What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t hate the humans here.”
She only hated the ones who badmouthed Elias.
Still, even if what Giratina said wasn’t entirely true, it was close enough to make her wary.

The place was lifeless, stitched together from crumbling floating islands and warped fragments of reality.
In some areas, gravity didn’t even function properly. With a body as massive as its own, Giratina often found itself literally top-heavy...
