HUGE FILE WARNING.

entré. PkCn stands for PokeCon. The title is Latin, means "Sacred to the ghost-gods".

That's my Giratina gijinka, Achaeus "Girasol". Being... "confronted" by *RabbitTwins8788's character Sana Aura. Achaeus is not amused.

This story is vital to the picture, I advice to read it; some why and what answers there:
Sana is a strong-natured girl, characteristed by unbreakable bond to ghost Pokemons, and she loves to travel around the world searching for new ghost Pokemons. One day, she just knew she needed to take a walk, she just knew where to walk, like someone would have shown the way to her. Night fell upon her quickly as she walked through the unfamiliar environment. Though this was first time she was there, and the woods being dark and ominous, only pale moonlight pierced through the leaves, she knew where she was, and was not afraid. Cold fog started to linger at her feet, she shivered little. Soon after, she noticed that she had arrived at the tree line, and the feeling that triggered her to leave, only got stronger. She had arrived at the ancient, almost forgotten graveyard. Suddenly she remembered one reason why she got the urge to come here, she remembered hearing old tales about this particular cemetery, there being a strong presence of something paranormal. Still some faithfull people come here to pray at their long-gone ancestors' graves, even at the cost of loosing their mind. The ghostly atmosphere that reigns there makes its duties by triggering people's imagination to form pictures of horrible ghosts and unexplainable phenomena, and only those with strong will may come and leave the place sane. Sana took a shaking step on the wildly overgrown, almost invisible path, and inhaled the cold air. She moved towards the black iron gate. When she was landing her hand on the rusted lock, she saw through the bars when like from nowhere, in the greaveyard, there appeared tall, grey figure with golden crown. Not thinking for another second, she dashed through the gates. She could have bursted with zest, this was something that one doesn't see every day. She stopped by the figure, pointed her finger at it and yelled "A-haH!". What she got back, was the most dull expression one can imagine. The crowned figure truly was not amused of such enthusiasm.
"I advice you to keep your voice down, for some rest here peacefully in the afterlife" the figure said. When it talked, it was like a hundred other voices would have spoken with it.
Sana apologized, and introducted herself. " I am Sana Aura, leader of the Phantom gym. I specialize mainly in ghost Pokemons. Like an unknown power had directed me, I came here, and you obviously are-"
"A ghost mabye? Might be to you, but I would not call myself that. I linger between the living and the dead world."
"What do you mean? Who- what you are then?", Sana wondered.
The tall figure looked her with it's red eyes thoughtfully, like it'd be scaling its words carefully.
"Once I was whole, once I helped the world to be made, but I was never righteous. At the first dawn of the world, I betrayed my brothers. The mightiest one of them cursed my existence, cursed me to live between two worlds. I cursed my own destiny, and cursed many others'. I made them to live between two opposite worlds-"
"Black magic? Are you a necromancer?"
"Do not interrupt."
"Sorry..."
"I might or I might not be, but with that I only made things worse. Those, whose life I took, settled to live within me. They go everywhere with me. I grew weary of it all and came here to be alone with my thoughts, but it was meaningless. Now I find this place as my home though. This is the place where I've been since the ancient times."
"You obviously don't want to come with me to fight in my ghost gym?"
"Take a guess. This place would lose it's mystique. Besides, who would be here scaring the mortal minds if I was gone?"
Sana chuckled. Though the person was frightening, and according to its words, a renegade, it was still a ghost of a sort, and she felt comfortable.
It waved its inhumanly long arm towards the gate.
"Now leave us, ghost-girl. You heard the right story of the gatekeeper of this cemetery. Do not tell anyone what you heard."
"Do you have a name?"
It pondered, and replied
"Achaeus. My brothers called me Girasol."
Sana nodded. She was about to thank for the lore, but decided against. She turned around and walked out of the gate, and closed it behind.

There. The story of Achaeus is not made only for him (he was a he), but it is my view on Giratina itself also. The common question "Why Giratina's classification is renegade?" is answered here indirectly, and do note that it's based fully on my own intrepretions. At Serebii.net, before renegade, Giratina's classification was rebellion Pokemon. I somehow like it more. I tried to include it inderctly it here too. Use your imagination .

Sana had her travel bag with her, but I forgot to ink it!
_{and it kinda distracts me that 'sana' means 'word' in Finnish} . The work overall consumed helluva lot of time. One of those fairly rare drawings that I can honestly say "I was in pain with it.". This nearly killed me. First, tons of A4s on designing Achaeus, and because he's 211.4 cms (6.93 feet) tall, it really caused me problems. I'm about the same height as Sana, so I had to use myself as scale xDD. I really did things the hard way, but for a picture like this, I really wanted to put some effort to it and actually do some research. The hardest thing here was to get the characters the right heighted, and Achaeus' expression. I wasted a full A4 only to practise the expressions. And when I drawed a perfect one, the problem was, how the hell I could get it to the final drawing?

And do not come whining me about his long arms. They are meant to be that long.

I am making a second entry. I'll give only one hint; it has more than one gijinka and less than ten. Away to work on it! Be proud, all you traditional artists! Do not let the revolution of digital art take you over!
Oh and I kinda have to tell another hint. It'll consume some serious time. I am not sure if I can finish it before the deadline, but I'll try my best! And even if it wouldn't make in, I will definately do it, because it'd answer to some questions that this entry might have caused.
