Marshadow trudged into the throne room of Lunala, a sandwich in his hand. "Lunala."

The Moone Pokemon sighed, not turning to face him as she gazed out the window. "What is it, Marshadow. I swear this better be important."

Marshadow gulped. The Alolan legendary could be pretty scary when she wanted. "I have news concerning Giratina."

Lunala sighed. "Don't tell me Arceus wants me caught up in his soap opera again."

"No... This time, it's more serious. I'm afraid... Giratina has escaped."

"Big deal."

"He has killed Arceus."

"What?!" Lunala whirled around. The crystal in her hand flew across the room and hit the wall, shattering upon impact. "What do you mean?!"

"I was just as shocked as you are."

"What about the plates?!"

"All smashed, except one."

Lunala rubbed her temples. "Good god. Has Giratina made a target known yet?"

"No, ma'am."

Lunala turned to face the window again. "So, it's happening again. Spread the word. Tell everyone in each region to keep an eye out."

Marshadow turned to go but stopped. "Lunala?"

"Yes?"

"Isn't there a large group of ghosts living in Eterna Forest?"

"The partying group? Yes. What about them?"

"Hasn't Giratina been trying to teach them how to scare?"

"I believe so."

"Maybe... his plans are for them?"

Lunala scoffed, but inside, the cogs of her mind were turning. She had heard from Hoopa about Giratina's attempts to teach. They were futile. The group didn't care about scaring (most of them, anyway). Lunala also knew about Giratina's very, very, very short temper. He could hardly handle being around a child, so being around the equivalent to a large group of children meant the end of the world. For him, at least.

Lunala groaned. It was worth a try.

"Marshadow. Go to Sinnoh, and find the ghosts of Eterna Forest."
