#meaning that Dialga/Palkia would be catchable at the Spear Pillar during the main story

[xyztrio721]

We are two weeks away from the release of Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, so before the games come out, I would like to propose an idea for a postgame that would take some inspiration from the story of Pokemon Platinum.

Keep in mind that this is an idea that I came up with, and this may not be accurate to the actual postgame for Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl.

This idea is going under a “Read More” due to spoilers, both for the main story of Diamond & Pearl, and the main story of Platinum.

For those of you who have played Diamond & Pearl and got past the Spear Pillar, you may remember these lines from Cyrus:

“…I won’t allow this…”

“I will capture those three again and craft another Red Chain!”

For context, this is after Uxie, Mespirit, and Azelf destroy the Red Chain that Cyrus created for the purpose of summoning Dialga/Palkia in an attempt to destroy the old universe (a.ka. the current Pokemon universe) and create a new one in his own image.

After you defeat Cyrus at Spear Pillar, he disappears, never to be seen again. He never follows up on his threat to capture Uxie, Mespirit, and Azelf and create a new Red Chain. 

But what if he did?

What if he kept his promise and captured the lake guardians again?

What if Cyrus created not one, but two new Red Chains?

What if he used them to summon both Dialga and Palkia, knowing that the lake guardians aren’t strong enough to counterbalance both of their powers at the same time?

What if Giratina appeared and stopped his plan by dragging him into the Distortion World, freeing both Dialga and Palkia in the process?

What if you had to travel to the Distortion World to save the Sinnoh region for a second time?

What if this was the postgame for Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl?
