"Hey, Arceus, where are the keys to the Hall of Origin?" Giratina asked as all the legendaries, in their human forms, gathered around the doors to the Hall of Origin.
Arceus was searching her pockets frantically.
"I-I-I don't know! They were in my pocket before we left!" She wailed. All the legendaries were starting to panic. They just wanted to go to the mall, and now the keys to the Hall of Origin were once again stolen.
"The meatloaf is still cooking!" Dialga shouted, clearly as frantic as Arceus. Palkia just facepalmed.
"Could've someone pick pocketed us while we were at the mall?" Kyogre asked. Arceus shook her head.
"I still have my wallet and my plates. They'd have to take it through a move, too," Arceus said.
"You sure the doors are locked?" Groudon asked, looking at the door. Zapdos moved forward, and touched the door.
Almost immediately, the door creaked open.
All the legendaries looked at Arceus, who was visibly wilting under their gaze.
"Sorry?" She squeaked out.
"I ought to ban you from dinner for giving me a scare like that!" Resheraim said, scoffing in her white dress.
"Now, now, let's get inside. I'm eager to see what Dialga's cooked up this time," Giratina said, moving inside.
All the legendaries got inside, shifting back into their Pokémon forms. But no sooner than the last legendary getting inside, the doors slammed shut. Arceus ran to the doors, and tried to open them with her legs.
They didn't budge.
"We can't get trapped in here!" Groudon said, moving to open the doors. They still didn't move.
"It's like their locked from the outside!" Giratina said, trying to teleport out with no success.
"Well, at least we have food," Shaymin said, looking at the floor.
Then the music started to play.
It sounded like someone had started to play the saxophone in the Hall, but there was no one in sight.
"Tina, if this is one of your pranks, I swear I'll kill you," Darkai said, shifting his head towards the music. Giratina looked defensive for a moment.
Lugia's eyes then widened.
"I know this song! It's normally played after a vacation!" He said, starting to slowly hum with the familiar tune.
Everyone was uneasy at that. The last person to go on vacation was a powerful Spiritomb named Dirgus, but he went back a few days later and hasn't been seen since. So who was this person?
All the legendaries went outside, seeing that it had been changed to a courtyard with a fountain in the middle. The fountain was adorned with gems and had a marble Eevee at the top. The pathways were made of obsidian, but made so it wouldn't cut the feet of anyone who stepped on them. There were multiple trees and bushes nearby, each one freshly cut, and sporting berries.
Near the fountain was a man clad in a stripped suit, complete with a fedora at the top. He had two giant brown ears sticking out of the fedora, a bushy tail behind him. His hands were gloved as he played the silver saxophone in his hands.
He noticed them, and then stopped playing for a moment, as if to let them speak.
"Who are you?" Arceus asked. The man snickered, disappearing in a puff of smoke. When the smoke cleared, there was an Eevee on the fountain, sporting a fedora.
"I'm Ty, and that's all you need to know. Right now though, you all are my puppets for the next few chapters," The Eevee said, cryptic in almost every way.
"So, what are you gonna make us do?" Groudon asked from the wooden porch.
"Have a fun game of truth or dare, with a little bit of 'do this' and that here and there," Ty explained.
Arceus groaned.
"Don't worry, I'm not alone either. So let's have some fun!" Ty shouted, a gust of wind blowing them back into the Hall of Origin.
"Mhh? Oh yea," Ty said. Giratina looked up.
"Who were you speaking to?" He asked.
"Eh, someone of importance," Ty said, putting his arms behind his head.
"This is going to be a long day…." Arceus said, shaking her head.
