{A/N} This is a chapter which fits in between chapters 19 and 20

The door slammed shut, cutting off the three pokemon from the others.

"Please! Please listen to me! I'll be good, I swear. Believe me!" The one being dragged by the other two struggled.

"Pyro… you just don't understand or learn, do you?" One of them sighed, shaking her head slowly. The one being dragged, Pyro, a Zorua, looked at her in confusion.

"You need to be punished. You can't get away with doing evil forever" Arceus, seeing Pyro looking at her like that, explained.

"E-evil?! I don't do anything evil!" Pyro replied. The other one, Kyurem, snorted loudly.

"You do! And you'll be punished for it!" Arceus snapped and Kyurem made a motion like laughing. Pyro snarled

"You think I'll let you punish me easily?" Pyro hissed

"Think for a second, what are you going to do? You. Are. Powerless." Arceus hissed right back at him. Pyro then took a second to actually think like she had said

"That's right, you are powerless" Arceus whispered again. Kyurem nodded in agreement, licking his lips.

"W-what are you going to do with m-me?" Pyro whimpered, now realising that he was at their utter mercy. Arceus then grinned

"Oh, so you finally admit that there's no way out. I'll tell you, you will be punished, and you will be changed forever" she said casually

"I-I haven't done anything b-bad!"

"Ask yourself, how many humans and pokemon have you misled, hurt, killed?"

"N-not a lot. But they were necessary!"

"So you deny it. Either that you can't remember. Let me jog your memory" Arceus's eyes then started to glow as she mentally showed visions and pictures of different pokemon. Pyro was overwhelmed with many visions of various beings, including an elderly man, two Eevee's, a Dragonair, an Umbreon, a Meowstic, an Absol, and a young girl, to name a few.

A few minutes of this later, Pyro started sobbing. Arceus started grinning

"You see?"

"Please make it stop!"

"As you wish. But I'll make more than just the vision stop" Arceus's eyes stop glowing.

"I-I-"

"What was your reason?" she then asked, this time her voice was gentler, genuinely feeling pity for him, seeing him sob like a baby.

"What?"

"What's your reason for doing that?"

"I… … … … I don't know" Pyro mumbled out as he found out that he can't remember why he did all those things

"Do you regret it?"

"Yes! Yes, I regret it now!"

"Then allow me, I will grant you the ultimate cleansing" Arceus told him gently. Kyurem growled audibly.

"Y-you're going to kill me, a-aren't you?"

"Yes"

"Can you at l-least make it q-quick?" Pyro sniffed

"Very well. But know that this act of mercy is more than you gave to others" Arceus sighed and Pyro nodded. She then conjured up a seed of sorts and handed it to him

"This is a Sleep Seed. Eat this, and you'll be sleeping in no time. You won't feel a thing"

Pyro accepted the seed and ate it. He then instantly felt drowsy and started swaying on his feet. At last… At last this will be over. No more problems, no more pain. Just peace… Luna, I hope I'll get to see you soon. I love you, forever and ever. After a moment, he slumped onto his side, dead asleep.

"And now… Kyurem, do it" Arceus said as she looked away, "I just want you to understand who you are… and help you change, Pyro"

She winced as she heard the sound of bones snapping, caused by Kyurem stomping onto Pyro's tail. Kyurem growled a bit as he bit Pyro's throat and tore it, killing him immediately. He then moved on and bit down on the Zorua's midsection, crushing the ribs, puncturing the heart and lungs, and also spraying blood everywhere; just to make sure that he is dead. Arceus winced as a few blood droplets hit her fur. Kyurem then stood up and walked over to her, before gesturing to the door.

"Done?" Arceus asked. He nodded in reply. They then headed towards the door again. Suddenly, Arceus had a thought that chilled her to the bone: How would I explain this to Aqua? Pyro's gone so he wouldn't be able to tell him that I am only helping him… … … Shiiiiiiit
