Plot
TheAdvanced level Grunt leadsPlatinum,Palmer, and four of theStat Trainers through theTurnback Cave. On the way,Marley surprisesMira andCheryl with what she holds in her hands. Once the Grunt stops in front of a dark purple void, he turns to leave, but Platinum stops him, claiming that he would have to lead them through the void in order to prove that theDistortion World is on the other side. In exchange, Platinum and the others would protect him fromTeam Galactic.
The Grunt thus obliges, but warns that after they go through the portal, they may be separated from each other even if they hold hands. Thus, Platinum splits her travelling group by staying with Palmer and the Grunt. She also has Cheryl, Mira and Marley team up, andRiley going solo with his Pokémon. With that, the group throw themselves into the dark purple void leading to the Distortion World.
Cheryl, Mira and Marley land on upside-down ground, and soon spot a purple-haired man in a UFO-like vessel mumbling to himself. After hiding themselves behind a tree, they also hear him mentionHeatran. Realizing that he was responsible forBuck's injuries atStark Mountain, the female Stat Trainers jump out to confront him. Meanwhile,Paka and Uji notice human voices other than their own, and soon spot their intended client. Platinum hops over to the platform of her intended bodyguards to share a moment of joy, until a deafening shriek echoes through the Distortion World. Paka and Uji recognize the shriek, and Palmer notices thatGiratina is being battled by two men, who appear to have no interest in joining them.
Platinum recognizes one of the two battlers asVolkner, and Palmer recognizes the other asFlint of the SinnohElite Four. Volkner and Flint agree to order theirElectivire andMagmortar to useDischarge andLava Plume respectively on Giratina, even though the attacks would hurt each other. However, Giratina shrugs off the attacks with ease, then sweeps Electivire and Magmortar off their feet with aDragon Breath. From another platform,Saturn, on his own UFO-like vessel, holdsMars andJupiter with each of the vessel's hands as they watch Giratina battle. Mars is awed by the Trainer who uses an Electivire like she does, and begs Saturn to extend her to where Giratina is battling. Saturn dismisses her request, then spotsCharon whizzing past them.
Charon bluffs that he is also looking to rescueCyrus from the Distortion World. He then also claims to be chased by three troublemakers - he points the threeCommanders to the pursuing Cheryl, Mira and Marley, before fleeing on his vessel. Jupiter calls out herTangrowth to block their way, much to Saturn's dismay. Mars, however, decides to play along, leaving Saturn with no choice but to also join the battle against the female Stat Trainers.
