You were warned! This repeats a few times, but you manage to get in the rhythm of dodging and throwing. Eventually, Arceus seems dazed and tired from the repeated balms. Now would be the perfect opportunity to send out a Pokemon to fight!
Out comes Galvantula, ready to do his best. He probably doesn't have any real advantage over Arceus and he is, unfortunately, a glass cannon, but he's ready to do his part. ]
Do your best, Galvantula. Arceus's Judgement is always super-effective, so Galvantula takes decent damage. But a glass cannon is a glass cannon! The point is they get results! Arceus also seems to have taken a major blow.
That's why, for this next phase, it is bracing itself. A reddish circle appears on the ground below you. You might want to get out of the way of it.
[ Emmet stares at it with shock for a moment but fortunately, Conductor Joltik hops up onto his shoulder and gives his neck a little nip. He jumps back at that, keeping an eye on the circle as he prepares to throw a balm. ]
It looks like some kind of localized meteor shooting down at the circle. But Arceus remains still as he aims it, so once you're out of range, throwing a balm is easy. This, too, you can easily overcome, leading to the next phase of sending a Pokemon out to battle!
Eelektross has a MINUS 1!! So it's actually a 4!!!
Arceus performs some sort of utterly cheating maneuver of increasing gravity to press Eelektross down to the ground before rocking his world with a ground-type move. Here in Hisui we don't have Abilities, motherfucker!
You are going to have to try again with a different Pokemon to proceed.
There's a sound of cracking glass behind you. Joltik may see that there's a crack in the fabric of reality itself—and if something emerged from that crack, it would probably come straight towards you!
Arceus breaks out of the crack and charges towards where you were once standing, but now that you've moved, it's a sitting duck. You get off a good few throws. The time is now—the final roll to weaken Arceus!
Joltik leaps off of Emmet's shoulder, crackling with all the electricity he's stored up since the last time he zapped Kaito for funsies, and lets off the Discharge to end all Discharges, apparently. ]
"Such is the determination of thy Conductor," says Arceus with pride. "He shows as much drive as thee to fulfill your shared goal. Thy wish is to recover the memories of thy kin?"
"So it seems. His will, thy will, and the will of many others are united on this front. With your collective will... you have shown remarkable perseverance. Come forth, newfound companions."
Tinkaton, Electivire, and Sylveon all come out of their balls to step forward.
"Thou hast made a connection with many Pokemon... though it may have been for a short time. The experiences you have shared together have built power. This power may be commanded by divine will to dispel the fog within his mind. Speak, and I shall grant thy wish with this power."
Tinkaton reaches out to hold your hand, smiling tenderly up at you. Then, she begins glowing, dissipating into sparkling lights... The same happens to the other Pokemon. Those lights rise up, and scatter down, off the platform in the sky, out towards the rest of the world. The bright lights cut through the clouds, shining with divine clarity.
You wake up, within the prison. The palace game is over for you.

Emmet manages to dodge them — good thing Ingo told him to stay on his toes — and throws another balm at him. ]

Now, Arceus disappears entirely. Ominous... it doesn't seem like this is over...

Joltik, likewise, keeps his little eyes peeled, ready to alert Emmet if he sees anything. ]

[ Emmet straightens up, snapping back to attention. ]
I want Ingo's memories to return. But— but more importantly, Ingo wants his memories to return. That is most important.

He looks over at Tinkaton fondly. ]
Please, dispel the fog. And— thank you, Tinkaton.
