I am Palkia?

I am a legendary Pokémon. I am known for my power to warp space. But…what does that mean exactly? Do I just transform things into something else? Do I just create other dimensions? I never thoroughly understood my powers. Maybe it is because they are too difficult to understand in the first place. I mean, really, the ability to control space itself isn't exactly a simple idea. Does it mean the fabric, the actual, or the mythical space?

What are my powers?

She always enjoyed the daytime. It was the time of day that you could see the colors of the world. The green grass flowed with the gentle wind. The sea waves were lapping against the sides of the cliffs. The molten magma coming forth from the volcanoes, which it was only liquid rock! These sights made Palkia feel one with the world and at ease. It was truly a beautiful world.

Palkia was standing on the side of a mountain, one which she couldn't remember the name of. The humans called it one name, the Pokémon call it another name, and then the actually name was only known by the legendary Pokémon. She stared at the sun, which was getting ready to set. When that happens, she can then see the different colors that the shadows bring.

"What are you doing out here?" asked a familiar voice.

Palkia turned to her right, and saw her older brother Giratina standing there, looking ahead as well. He often sneaks up to her, since he is part ghost type. It was only naturally, and Palkia didn't mind it. It wasn't like he did it to do pranks. He was too mature to do anything of that nature.

"I was enjoying the last hours of pure daylight before the shadows of darkness repainted the scenery" Palkia replied, while looking ahead again.

"Is that all that you are doing? You don't usually do this, unless you were thinking of something."

Palkia sighed when he said this. Giratina knew almost everything about her, which sometimes made it hard for her to hide anything from him. He was right this time as well. She was thinking about something. It was a common thought that passed through her head. One thought that Giratina knew too well about also.

"Pal, are you thinking about your powers again?"

"How can I not? I don't know what they are to begin with!"

"Sure you do. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to do the things that you can do now: like creating smaller dimensions, warping the landscape, and travel outside the atmosphere."

"That doesn't seem so specific though. I wish I knew exactly what I could do."

"You mean the limitations of such powers, and the specific reasons on how you could use them to your advantage?"

"You always know the best way to say things."

"Thank you. But think about…don't we all have that same problem?"

Palkia looked at him funny, not sure on how to take his advice. Giratina looked at his younger sister, with a sense of hope in his eyes.

"I govern the Distortion World. It was only recently that I discovered that I could alter this world from such a place by using an unknown power I had. What I am trying to say is that we don't know the full extent of our powers unless we search for it. You can wonder all you want, but isn't it easier to find out by being creative?"

Palkia grinned when he said this, but quickly had a stern face right afterwards. Giratina noticed this, and his face changed to such an expression.

"It is easy for you to say such things. You control the Distortion World, which is just another dimension for me. If I try to explore such a thing…I might ruin both worlds and even more."

"…you're right about that, but I still recommend you to not just stare at things to figure the world out."

Palkia smiled again, and Giratina did as well. Giratina shuddered really quickly for some apparent reason, and said, "I must take my leave. Farewell, my little sister." Palkia went a hugged her brother's neck, and then he flew off to the nearest mirror that he could find. Palkia watched him fly away, and made sure that she etched his suggestion in her heart forever.

This is my first fanfic involving Pokémon, and this is just a mini-series. I got the idea when I was reading Bulbapedia's information about Palkia, in which they gave little detail about what Palkia could do. I thought "Hey, what can Palkia do?"

I also will be doing more of these, and they will be short. I don't intend on expanding on what the Pokémon look like (mostly because I am lazy and also other people can look it up).
