This is my first major shot at a multi-chapter Legendary fic. The pairings are ArceusxGiratina, DeoxysxMewtwo and PalkiaxDialga. Also, I know Dialga lives in the Temporal Tower in PMD2 but I chose to make her and Palkia live in separate halves of the Spear Pillar.
Summary: Due to another of Groudon and Kyogre's fights, Birth Island is sunk and Turnback Cave collapses. Also, Dialga's half of Spear Pillar is made by Arceus to undergo "mandatory renovations". As such, the three occupants of the various places find themselves forced to live with their counterparts.
Disclaimer: I do not, have never, and will never, own Pokemon.
Chapter One: Causes and Effects
"I DON'T BELIEVE IT!"
All the Legendaries gathered in the Hall of Origin winced as Arceus shouted, anger clearly present in her voice. The centaur-like Legendary turned around to face Groudon and Kyogre, who both smiled nervously.
"You two got into another fight. That's normal, but this ISN'T!" Arceus gestured in annoyance to a psychic screen she had created, which showed a split view of an island at the bottom of the sea and a collapsed cave.
"It's just an island and a cave-" Arceus cut off Groudon's protest.
"Not just ANY island and ANY cave! YOU TWO SANK BIRTH ISLAND AND TURNBACK CAVE! BY THE SAINTY OF ALL THAT IS SANE IN THIS WORLD, HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO DO THAT?!" Arceus roared. Once again, the other Legends winced.
"Well…" Kyogre's meek response was easily drowned out by Arceus' next statement.
"FIRST, YOU TWO NEARLY DESTROYED THE WORLD, THEN YOU TWO SINK AN ISLAND AND CAVE-IN A CAVE AT THE SAME FREAKING TIME! WHAT'S NEXT, ALTOMARE BECOMING THE NEXT POKE'LANTIS?!" Arceus screamed.
"That doesn't sound like a bad idea. It would certainly make it easier for me to visit." Lugia remarked. Latias shot her a look, and she fell silent.
"Another problem to add to a seemingly never-ending list. There's still the living arrangements for Dialga as her half of the Spear Pillar's being renovated for uh… what was it again?" Rayquaza asked.
"Quote: Security Purposes. Unquote." Dialga replied. She shot a glance at Arceus, who was lecturing the armored lizard and the giant orca about various things.
"… with great power comes great responsibility…"
"Arceus watches too much movies. Personally, I don't understand why a movie about a human that can shoot webs and climb walls is so popular." Palkia remarked to his counterpart.
"At least it's better than the dramas about people transforming into armored warriors and fighting aliens-and sometimes each other- you watch." Dialga shot back, just as the God Pokemon finished her lecture.
"That's a new record! Ten minutes!" Mew said, loud enough for everyone to hear him. Arceus glared at him, and the pink feline fell silent. Before Arceus could say anything, a loud snore caught everyone's attention. All eyes immediately focused on the figure in the seat beside Mew's, who had his feet up on the table in front of every seat and was currently sleeping, miraculously unaffected by Darkrai and Cresselia's presence. Under the intense stare of the gathered Legendaries, the figure groaned and opened his eyes.
"Is the Meeting over yet?" He asked.
"No." All the other Legendaries responded simultaneously.
"So, what do we do now? Where will we live?" Deoxys asked, gesturing to both herself and Giratina.
"Well, according to the Legendary Lawbook, in the unprecedented event of a Legend being made homeless, he or she has to live with his or her counterpart indefinitely, or until he or she finds a home. This means that Deoxys will live with Mewtwo at the Cerulean Cave, Dialga will stay in Palkia's half of the Spear Pillar with him and Giratina will stay with…" Arceus fell silent as the truth dawned on her.
"NO! WHY ME?! I CAN BARELY TOLERATE ROCK MUSIC, LET ALONE DEATH-ROCK OR HIP-HOP! IMAGINE ALL THREE AT THE SAME TIME!" Arceus screamed, while changing back and forth between her various types. She paused for a moment in her usual form, somehow remaining calm.
"Oh, and everyone's dismissed. WHY?! ARGH, I HATE THIS JOB!" She continued screaming, while cursing and swearing at random intervals. The other Legendaries stared, too shocked by their leader's actions to move. After all, it wasn't every day that they got to see the white centaur that was Arceus screaming, cursing and swearing while slamming her head multiple times into the various pillars and walls that somehow never collapsed.
"You alright?" Mesprit asked Deoxys. "I can feel nervousness radiating from you."
"I'm fine." Deoxys said. Before the Being of Emotion could say anything else, a voice from the end of the Hall interrupted her.
"You should know the way to my cave, Deoxys. Just don't expect a warm welcome." With that, Mewtwo teleported off.
"He's such a loner." Mesprit remarked. "I think you're going to have a good time living in a cave."
"I highly doubt it." Deoxys replied.
"Why not? Living in a cave isn't so bad."
"It's not the cave. It's the person living in it." Deoxys shuddered. "Ever since he got over his obsession of break-dancing, he's been doing numerous scientific experiments in that cave of his." An image of Mewtwo laughing maniacally in a lab surfaced in the mutant bacteria's brain.
"I get your point. Good luck out there." Mesprit said as she turned and teleported off.
"So I get to live with you? At least I don't have to move anywhere." Dialga remarked to her counterpart.
"Whatever. Just don't let your clock collection ring wildly." Palkia said as he continued to watch the goddess bash her head against the wall.
"She really needs a time out." Dialga said. "Mabye I should give her one…"
"No, don't. The last time you gave me one, I had to search for the freaking diamond on your chest in my human form!" Palkia nearly screamed.
"By the way, why didn't Arceus ask Groudon to raise Birth Island from the depths?" Dialga asked.
"If she did, she would be contradicting the rule that she put in place one year back: Groudon or Kyogre can create more land or sea only once a year. So, we're going to have to wait a while before the time limit expires." The Legendary of Space pointed out.
"I see. Well, I better get my stuff before Arceus' hired Rhyperiors move in." Dialga turned and started walking away.
"Yeah. See you later." Palkia replied as he tore a hole in reality and stepped through the rift.
"WHY? WHY? WHY?!" Arceus screamed as she raised her head from the wall. Turning away from the head-shaped like crater in it, she screamed again. "WHY MUST THE FORSAKEN BOOK STATE IT THAT WAY?! ARGH, I'M SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONE MAKING THESE DECISIONS AND YET I HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES OF A STUPID, DAMMABLE, FREAKING BOOK!"
Giratina simply watched the goddess' antics from the other end of the Hall. The centipede of death said nothing until Arceus finally slowed down.
"Uh, Arceus?"
The white centaur's head snapped up, eyes that constantly shifted in color striking Giratina with their piercing glare.
"You'll be glad to know that my entire music collection survived the cave-in."
That single sentence re-ignited Arceus' desire to smash her head into the wall.
That's chapter 1. Please tell me what you think of it and review.
