Ash's Regigigas appeared.
Compared to the other Level 90 Regigigas, there was no doubt—Ash's was clearly larger and more imposing.
The wild Regigigas was surprised to see another of its kind, but what shocked it even more was the looming threat of the advancing glacier.
Even with the combined efforts of hundreds of Mamoswine, the many Pokémon of the forest unleashing Ice Beams, and one Regigigas already pushing against it, the glacier had only slowed—it was still moving forward.
It was now on the verge of completely crushing the lake.
And beyond the lake was a vast forest, beneath that a town, and beyond that, a densely populated city!
"Regigigas," Ash shouted with fiery determination, "Show me the full extent of your colossal power! Stop that glacier!"
He was bursting with confidence now—his wings fully spread, standing with divine beasts by his side. Once any one of his legendary partners crossed the mythical level boundary, he would have no need to fear anyone—no trainer, no Pokémon, no force.
"Regi—gi—gigas...!"
Ash's Regigigas strode up to the glacier, its arms—like twin pillars of steel—pressing against the icy wall.
Crack... Crack... Crack...
The glacier began to slow even more, now visibly grinding to a halt under the immense strength pressing back on it!
But it still moved. Inch by stubborn inch.
The Level 90 Regigigas turned to glance at Ash's with a complex expression—it could clearly sense it. The larger Regigigas was the one making the biggest impact.
Yet, slowing the glacier wasn't enough.
Suddenly—hum-humm-humm!
Between Ash's Regigigas's hands, a golden wave of energy began to ripple outward, radiating from its core across the glacier.
Crush!
This was Regigigas's signature move!
Used offensively, it focused pure destructive power into its fingers.
But in this moment, it was something else entirely. That crushing power was being spread from its palms—diffusing across the glacier's surface.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Where the glacier met the ground, vast ice layers shattered from the tremendous resistance. The sounds echoed like bones snapping in a giant's jaw.
But then… the glacier stopped.
Mewtwo remained suspended in midair, keeping its psionic aura prepared, watching cautiously.
Ash's blood boiled with pride.
But stopping wasn't enough—the glacier needed to be pushed back to where it came from!
"Regigigas, everyone—together! Let's push the glacier back!"
"Regi—gi—gigas...!"
"Maaaamooo!"
And so unfolded a truly epic scene:
Hundreds of Mamoswine, side by side with two mighty Regigigas—one large, one small—were now pushing a massive glacial plateau across the earth!
The glacier moved slowly… but with unstoppable will.
And after more than ten intense minutes, they succeeded.
The entire glacier was returned to its original place.
Meanwhile, in the Reverse World, Giratina had finished off Zero.
Without that specially crafted flying machine to steal its power, Zero's backup aircraft stood no chance. It didn't even come close to matching Giratina.
Giratina spiraled around the shattered ice-blue pillar representing the glacier. Its body flowed in sweeping circles, bending reality around it.
And then—the pillar, symbol of the glacier's presence, reformed.
At that very moment, the part of the glacier that had vanished in the real world reappeared, restored to its full state.
The glacier had returned to peace.
With its rage faded, Giratina realized something:
As long as the Reverse World remained stable, the toxins affecting it would gradually fade with time.
If it ever ran into Dialga again… well, maybe they'd settle things then.
When Giratina emerged once more into the real world, it saw the Level 90 Regigigas retreating with its Mamoswine back toward the mountains.
Ash nodded thoughtfully. The world truly was full of wonders.
Near this glacier—hidden beneath its quiet stillness—rested a slumbering Regigigas, awakened only when disaster struck.
The wild Pokémon of the forest, the Mamoswine herds… they had all sensed the danger and had come together, giving their all to defend their home.
Ash's Regigigas walked back to his side.
In the sky, Mewtwo hovered silently. Giratina stared at both it and Regigigas.
Ash met Giratina's gaze, and his eyes flickered as the system revealed its data.
[Pokémon]: Giratina

This… was the Level 1 Deities (also known as Tier-1 Legendary Rank) Pokémon Ash had ever seen.
Pokémon between Level 100–109 were considered Tier-1 Deities.
If they exceeded Level 109… they crossed into the realm of Ultra Deities (also known as Transcendent Rank)—transcendent beings.
It all made sense. Giratina ruled the Reverse World. But once it left that world, its power was diminished by the constraints of reality.
"Grrrrhh… Grrrh…"
Giratina's guttural voice rumbled.
You two are strong. Thank you.
If not for you, my world—the Reverse World—might've suffered irreparable damage.
It looked at Mewtwo… and then at Regigigas.
Both had helped. One had aided it directly. The other had prevented catastrophe in the real world.
Then it turned to Ash and gave a low, rumbling growl.
Nearby, Professor Newton Graceland finally walked over, still shaken but amazed.
He greeted Ash and the others, astonished that he could stand so close to Giratina itself.
The moment felt surreal.
Surrounding them, wild Pokémon had gathered everywhere.
A soft breeze rolled across the field.
It stirred the blooming Gracidea flowers, sending countless delicate petals soaring into the sky.
Up above, a dozen Shaymin—each in their Sky Forme—danced gracefully through the air, weaving between the floating petals.
"What a beautiful scene…"
"Yeah… It's like a sea of Gracidea blossoms in full bloom! Anabel, we've got to take some photos while we can!"
"Piplup!"
Dawn and Anabel hurriedly began snapping pictures, capturing the dreamlike moment.
In the air, one Shaymin followed another, gliding joyfully in a spiral of flowers.
Ash looked up at the breathtaking scene.
"So beautiful... This is what they call The Bouquet of the Frozen Sky."
"Pika..."
