Dedicated to my best FF buddy and the one who ultimately inspired me to finally get this new story started, Dimension Distorter. Thanks a million Rey, this one's for you mate.
Prologue Part One: A Birth of Unlimited Miracles
Some people looked at their own newborn child as though they were the most beautiful creature to ever walk the earth; others were even more sentimental and believed their kid was an act of Arceus himself, a miracle baby of colossal proportions. In some instances, where there was a complication that the baby somehow managed to overcome on its way to its mother's waiting arms, one could truly call that sort of birth a living, breathing miracle. But in Delia Ketchum's own personal opinion, her 6 months of pregnancy had given the word miracle a whole new meaning, in ways she herself could scarcely imagine; and given her family's long and complicated history of impossible phenomena and achieving truly godlike feats, that was saying something.
Then again, given who the father of this child was she supposed she shouldn't have been too surprised, plus her own genes were clearly very strong, because all the scans showed her unborn child was the very picture of health, radiating energy and warmth inside of her that far exceeded anything the doctors had ever seen. Delia Ketchum was married to the most powerful man in the universe, the world champion Red or as she knew him, Fredrick Ketchum, who was one of the first ever Pokemon trainers to have ever reached a level of infinity in his Pokemon's training and powers. This was a feat the regional champions all made great haste to copy, following in their beloved leader's footsteps while the Pokemon League devised new wondrous technologies to scan for perfect Pokemon, supply for the newly developed Pokemon Navigator Plus's Dex Nav feature vastly outweighed by the demand for them. These technological advancements culminated in a new age of infinite power being born and the capture of Pokemon with infinite latent potential becoming all too easy.
Still though, Red didn't reach his mantle for nothing, and despite the recent outbreak of champion trainers who managed to go all the way in the Pokemon League he still maintained his throne as the one champion trainer who stood above all others. And with over seven hundred different species caught and fully evolved as well as fully trained, Red had accumulated vast godlike Pokemon Battling, ass kicking skills every other trainer aspired to achieve. Unfortunately for Delia, this also meant that her wayward husband, who could eat a buffet restaurant out of house and home; was too busy to make a lot of time for her and would just barely be in time to see his son's birth.
This was of course assuming her pregnancy went exactly as planned and given how healthy Ash was and how fast he was growing; he may actually decide he was ready for the outside world a little sooner than expected, not that it mattered to her. Because whether late or early, so long as she could hold her baby boy in her arms and be the kind of mom she always wanted to be, then she was happy. Truth be told she had wanted to travel for a long while, like her father Drake did prior to becoming the final member of the Hoenn Elite Four; but with her pregnancy and her being dead set in her refusal to give him up or get an abortion in the wake of the news that she was expecting, she knew she didn't regret a thing, not since she first laid eyes on him through the ultrasound.
She was only 18 years old; she figured she should have been out partying with her friends or even traveling on a Pokemon journey of her own. But in hindsight, she should have known that she and Red having a quick romp in the shower together would result in something like this; having not had the foresight to get protection and just getting caught up in the heat of the moment, but now she knew she wouldn't trade it for anything. Her husband was incredibly scared and excited at the same time, but not half as excited as she was. This child would have come into their lives sooner or later anyways, and at least she had the wisdom to prepare herself beforehand in case something like this happened. Also it helped that she had accumulated fantastic culinary skills in the wake of realizing she'd need to cook for her husband and that black hole he called a stomach. She had always asked herself where in the world he put it all, but had given up trying to find the answer to that question long ago.
She was glad she didn't give him up, and had bonded with her child the last few months when strange and wonderful things began happening to or around her, and even across the entire world of Pokemon as she knew it. For starters, her husband being the World Champion of the entire Worldly Pokemon League Association gave Red unrestricted access to limitless funds; funds he also set aside for her and the baby and which she invested the entirety of into Ash's future. She remembered something her mother said about having children, that when you do have kids it wasn't just about you anymore; in fact your entire world revolved around them.
Her husband had said something similar, 'honey, our little boy is the embodiment of the immeasurable love and adoration we two share as husband and wife, as boyfriend and girlfriend, and as soul mates. To give him away in spite of all he has the capacity to become, would truly be a God awful sin, one I could never forgive you for. He embodies the best of both of us Delia, and we'll make this work I promise. Just trust me alright, I've got more money than I could ever spend in a billion lifetimes, and scarily enough I mean that quite literally, so let me take care of the finances and expenses and already you've won half the battle. Trust me when I say it pays to be married to the richest man in the world,' he had chuckled with an almost smug grin, and Delia relented that he had a good point. Money was never an issue for them, her own father was an Elite Four member and thus was a multi billionaire himself, add to that her entire family's collective funds and Red's own infinite 'I can literally buy you the entire world' amounts of money; they were set for life and then some. Hell they and all the future generations of their extended family were set forever more; and she knew she'd never have to worry about money again.
So there was that, but other even more startling and unnatural things began happening in the world all around them ever since she first became aware she was pregnant, and for some reason she couldn't bring herself to believe it was merely a coincidence. Among many other things, trainers and Pokemon everywhere were reported as reaching an all time high level of cooperation and symbiotic relations, depending on each other more and more in order to survive and bring out each other's fullest potential. What's more, Pokemon that were reputed as having violent tempers or who had a history of feuding with one another as natural enemies were working in tandem with the police, the firefighters, and even medical hospitals everywhere to help the sick, injured, or people who were in danger. One report came out of a group of Seviper and Zangoose dropping everything they were doing and working together to help the law enforcement officers deal with a Pokemon Poacher and thanks to their efforts, the despicable man was safely behind bars and the Pokemon he hunted illegally were set free.
Furthermore, Delia herself had been saved by an act of Arceus, during a quick visit to professor Oak's laboratory and his ever-expanding ranch used to safely contain the Pokemon of trainers within a specific parameter. One of the Tyranitar living at the ranch had suddenly gone off into a rage driven by sheer pain that had professor Oak immediately on the scene with Delia swiftly following behind, wondering what the commotion was about. Professor Oak had just finished telling Delia to get back inside and to let him handle this when the Tyranitar charged at them, blinded by its incredible pain and rage as Delia barely had time to stifle a scream.
To her and the Pokemon's astonishment however, a white dome of sheer power and boundless brilliance that was lightly tinged in every other color in existence expanded out from her body and engulfed the whole of professor Oak's ranch, bathing everyone and everything present in the most blissful sensations; warmth, affection, tenderness, strength, and love. The feeling of absolute euphoria lasted only the briefest instant, but the behemoth charging her immediately stopped in its tracks as it too was bathed in this dome's light, warmth, and energy; the gash across its chest healing instantly leaving not even a scar in its place.
Delia and Oak watched in amazement as the proud pseudo-legendary Pokemon, who would normally only bow to a champion level trainer who had absolutely dominated it in a fight, bowed so low that its face touched the ground, kneeling at Delia's feet out of the utmost respect. This was something that still astounded her to think about even now several months later as Oak returned both the formerly wounded Tyranitar and its sparring partner to their Pokeballs and proceeded to stare at Delia in utter dubiousness. This was a look she'd never seen on the esteemed professor's face before and one that imprinted itself in her memory forever more. Whatever happened had startled him as much as it did her, and she could practically see the gears turning in his head as she left that day to go home and recover from the shock of that day's events.
Not even a month later, around two or so months into her pregnancy, she had gotten a call from her old friend Grace Yvonne to receive some startling news. Her husband Red had hired Grace's husband Richard as one of his Golden Elite Four members, so they had a long time working relationship, but their friendship predated even that since Richard was Red's main travel buddy and protégé in Kalos; the future runner-up for the world championship and his girlfriend Grace becoming two of Red and by extension Delia's best friends within a very short time frame. She and Grace actually had a lot in common, and Grace herself had been making a very decent living off of her Rhyhorn racing, something which she and Delia shared a mad passion for; even if Delia herself couldn't ride a Rhyhorn to save her life, she was extremely fond of the sport and thus she and Grace had immediately hit it off.
The news that Grace had delivered that day had been startling to say the least, and freakishly similar to some of the stuff she was dealing with regarding her pregnancy with Ash. Both she and Grace experienced the same enhanced warmth and the surprisingly easy lack of aches throughout their bodies or any of the other detriments usually associated with first time pregnancies. Delia had only needed a foot rub from her husband once, and could usually get around fairly easily even now at six months, but the fact that Grace was going through the same thing and that their bodies had become engulfed in that same dome of pure energy. The fact that they both remained inexhaustible and their energy levels were consistently at their peak could not be mere coincidence. Something very strange was going on and Delia didn't have to be a genius to figure out that this was no ordinary pregnancy, which is what eventually lead to the conversation between her and Red about a week after that phone call, a conversation that would change her life and her entire worldview forever more...

Four Months Ago, during Delia's Second Month of Pregnancy
"Thank you for coming on such short notice honey, I know you're busy but I'm not sure this can wait," Delia had finally announced as Red literally teleported into her own home, his trusty psychic type, a Pokemon who was an engineered clone of Mew doing the job for him and displacing time and space to instantly transport her husband into their own home. There was once a time when Delia would have been startled by this, but she had had years now to get used to her husband's... entrances.
"Sweetheart, you don't have to apologize to me for taking me outside of my own head and my job every once in .awhile You know I always value any and all time I spend with you. So what's the situation, I trust the pregnancy is doing alright," Red commented reassuringly, a slightly uneasy edge to his voice as he voiced the last part of his statement; one that Delia sensed the reasons for right away as she nodded reassuringly with a smile. It was at moments like this when she wanted to throw her arms around Red and kiss him with an overzealous passion, but it would have to wait until she confirmed something she had been toying with the idea of for a long time.
"Well yes actually, the pregnancy is going without a hitch and the doctors keep telling me Ash is the very picture of health; in fact the doctors are saying he's the healthiest looking baby at 2 months they've ever seen, and there are these weird flashes of light that escape from my womb and light up my entire bedroom at night. This dome of energy keeps on appearing more and more while I sleep and I just feel so at ease and happy whenever it does; almost like there is nothing that can hurt me. There was one moment where this happened while I was being checked up on by the doctor, and the energy readings that resulted from that phenomenon had an infinity symbol typed on the initial test results. I'm scared Red, the doctors are saying my unborn child is some kind of freak of nature or something, and I'm being investigated for siring the child of some level infinity Pokemon or something, so if you could maybe clear some things up for me I'd really appreciate it," Delia asked, hating to ask favors of her husband like this and hating to basically sick him on the people insinuating that she was a Pokepheliac or some shit.
Red merely scratched his chin, evidently deep in thought as Delia could practically see the well oiled machinery and gears turning in that ingenious mind of his. "That's... very strange, but not completely unheard of in my family's bloodline. To be honest I was kind of hoping this hereditary trait would skip Ash's generation somehow but it looks like my family's cursed blessing lives on," Red admitted woefully as Delia gasped. "He has the Ketchum Bloodline's gift of aura doesn't he, just like you do?!" she exclaimed, not really asking and figuring she already knew the answer as Red merely nodded.
"Yes it would seem he has; now as to why the energy readings came out as an infinity symbol, I can't really say for sure. There have been rare cases where Aura Masters have been born in my family instead of the usual aura guardians. Now technically speaking, there are no true masters of aura, for all aura users are merely servants of its immense power, but the difference between an aura master and a regular aura guardian is that someone like our son may actually possess a substantially higher amount of spiritual energy within him than is typical. What startles me most, is that his energy levels are already infinite, because if he has infinite spiritual energy within him at such a young age as this with no training, and with no need to draw an infinite amount of ambient aura from external sources, like the tree of beginning, then he is the most powerful aura master ever born Delia, and if that's true, then you best be bracing yourself. Any master of aura who has a naturally unlimited base amount of spiritual power, especially at birth, is going to grow up into a being capable of performing limitless miracles. Arceus only knows how powerful he'll be or what abilities he'll develop overtime; but like I said before Delia we can make this work. He may not ever discover his infinite latent potential and just live a perfectly ordinary life, lots of people who have discovered later on in life that they have the power of aura within them have been able to lead perfectly ordinary lives, and our son is in no way any kind of exception to that rule.
I understand that you're scared honey, but trust me, Ash isn't in any danger and absolute power or not, I'm fairly certain our boy will be looking to get into the family business anyways and will seek my title and my throne, as I myself did when I beat old professor Oak, the first world champ, at which point he withdrew from battling altogether and passed the mantle of world championship onto me. We'll be fine Delia, trust me, Ash will be a chip off the old block and who better to raise him into a proper young man than you? I may not have had your influence all my life and therefore some of my less endearing traits will stay with me until I'm old and grey, but at least with Ash we have a chance to get rid of any of the hereditary traits from my side that you always said endeared me to you a little less, but that's all going to depend on how we raise him, and at least you'll never have to worry about money," Red said in an attempt to reassure her as Delia drew a deep breath.
"At least the matter of whether or not you're secretly a level infinity Pokemon in disguise has been resolved," Delia smirked teasingly, and Red stuck his tongue out at her like a giant four year old, but ultimately he was right. They had many things most first time parents didn't have to help them along the rough patches and Ash possessing unlimited amounts of natural aura would not have any impact on his ability to make friends, not if she had anything to say about it. She would make damn sure he lived an ordinary life with extraordinary qualities promised to him, qualities he would have to work for, such as beating his old man. She was hell bent on making this new life the perfect blend of ordinary and special, and for better or for worse at least Ash would have a kind, compassionate upbringing, and the most powerful man in the universe as a father and role model. She smiled chirpily; everything was going to turn out perfectly...

Red was right in a way, somehow the glowing of infinite energy Ash was kicking out did not affect her pregnancy in a negative manner; even with the subtle but boundless thrum of energy within her being almost constant now, never allowing her to tire or be sore. She had come to see this as a sort of blessing as she began channeling that energy into everything she did from then on. She wasn't sure if she should be taking this inexhaustible energy she was constantly feeling for granted, but frankly she had just gotten so used to it. If somebody had told her six months ago that her pregnancy would be a walk in the park she would have scoffed at the very idea of it. Now though, she was starting to wonder who was carrying whom in this symbiotic relationship between a mother and her unborn child; because Ash was literally radiating so much energy it was sustaining her through all of the times that ought to be difficult. He was even protecting her from dangers that threatened her physical self.
Who knew that her sometimes blunt husband could be so considerate and caring of her feelings when she needed it, but she was glad he had been there to sort of walk her through the craziness. Truth is, her pregnancy was feeling more and more like a true miracle by the bloody day, and strange and unexplainable things just kept on happening, becoming so part of the norm that Delia was worried it wouldn't even be weird anymore given enough time.
For starters, Grace had called her at least three times since the first phone call between them, updating her on all the equally strange phenomena of her pregnancy, and with the little girl she was going to name Serena. She was only about three weeks further along than Delia was, but her pregnancy was just as strange; the same weird domes of kaleidoscopic lights, the same boundless energy rendering them both completely inexhaustible throughout the whole ordeal, and the same divine protection from falls and other potentially fatal accidents and phenomena that could have affected the pregnancy in any sort of negative way. Delia had already relayed the information to Grace about her husband's family possessing aura and that their son seemed to possess infinite amounts of it naturally at birth, something completely unheard of in all cases as Grace hung up after saying she would look into hers and Richard's family background for any kind of explanation to why this was happening to either one of them, never mind both at the same time.
For the first time in living memory, Delia didn't know at all what came next. She was prepared for the worst in worst case scenario but was silently praying for the best; knowing the God Pokemon Arceus himself to be real thanks to Red's legendary accomplishments such as being the first trainer to ever capture a Mew and train it to level infinity, a feat that transformed it into an omnipotent being much to Delia's joy and Red's displeasure. He didn't think there was much point in proving he was the best if his Pokemon contained within them the power to become absolutely unbeatable and invincible by their underlying nature; so he had instructed his trusty legendary psychic type to create certain limitations for himself, limitations Red was keeping a tight lid on, saying he wanted his challengers to find and exploit his Pokemon's weaknesses for themselves.
Mew and all of Red's other Pokemon had all become as fond as Delia as they were of their trainer, and knew that in time Ash would inherit all of the Pokemon between the two of them when they were gone from the world, something which made her worry because Red had recently informed her that an aura master with infinite latent potential like Ash could come to possess eternal life and absolute immortality, meaning that he'd be destined to live forever while eventually losing all his reasons to live. Delia couldn't stand the thought of her own son being condemned to an eternity of loneliness that only a level infinity Pokemon like Red's could understand, knowing that a life ending was ultimately what made it valuable and yet hoping Ash could somehow find a way to circumvent that particular aura master's super power.
All of this and more had the expecting mother worried for her son and she prayed to Arceus to arrange it so that should her son wind up becoming more than human; that he'd have someone to love him and be with him forever, in ways neither she nor Red could really do and in ways a Pokemon was not allowed to do without being euthanized and her son locked up in prison. She hoped the God Pokemon could somehow hear her prayers, but even she never could have imagined that the Alpha legend was watching over her right now, in a white, omni-locked, Celestial hall expanding infinitely in omni-directions...

Hall of Origin: Six Months into Delia's Pregnancy
In a place existing outside of everything, a seemingly infinite distance away from the pregnant mother of an extraordinary little boy; an equine being stood on all fours gazing into a holographic projection it made itself... of a young woman with brown hair and eyes by the name of Delia Ketchum, the very same woman whom the universe had chosen to mother the child who would become known to all in the Omnisphere as the nine hundred and ninety nine thousand, nine hundred and ninety ninth incarnation of Ash Ketchum in the Ultra-Verse, or Ash Ketchum 9 by 6 for short. Arceus had set this child's destiny in motion since before time itself began to spin for the first time in his universe, along with two others who would play an essential three-way role with the first as the Chosen Champions of Arceus 9 by 6; a trio of omnipotent beings like and yet not like their incarnations from the 1 millionth universe.
Despite their similar histories, Arceus knew the two universes were wholly separate; rather than a partially separate, alternate future of the same universe, these two were immediately divergent upon their respective creations at the hands of their respective Arceus's. Any parallels that existed between them after that point were completely coincidental, and as an almighty God, Arceus perfectly understood the value of coincidence and of fate and knew them to be real; also knowing that there was no science to them, no way to plan for them accordingly. This was a fact that one Delia Ketchum would become all too familiar with as time wore on and her son was born.
With two of the Chosen Ones' births imminent and all the omnipotence in the Omnisphere safely tucked away within their avatars' boundless inner worlds, Arceus figured it was also probably the appropriate time to summon the first of every legendary Pokemon to his midst; including the Mewtwo that a certain contact of his on earth, one Fredrick Ketchum, had managed to befriend and earn the trust of. As the current sitting world champion, Red was the perfect candidate to act as a mediator between the humans and the legendary Pokemon; hell his fellow humans considered him to be a god by their standards, and as the world champion he was pretty much the head of world security on the human's end. It was with a hint of irony that the Omnisphere's supreme and most abstract entity of fate, the Source entity of Destiny, chose Fredrick (Red) Ketchum to be the one with a son destined for greatness, not completely unexpected considering the kind of parenting the child could receive from the most powerful man in the 9 by 6 universe and his lovely wife Delia. Truly Arceus could not have asked for better parents or a brighter light to guide his Chosen Champion, knowing that Serena Yvonne was technically destined to be the first one born but Ash was the guiding force behind the trio, rather like the Father was always the first one named out of the three aspects of the Monotheistic Deity's nature.
The three of them would become omnipotent in every sense and aspect, and master the art of Pokemon battling, contests, and the likes on an equally eternal level; their influence and power would in time reach far beyond earth and their names would resound through the Ultra-Verse and eventually the entire Omega Omnisphere itself. These grand destinies were set in motion via a combination of Arceus's own infinite will and the Omnisphere's ultimate abstract Entity of Fate guiding the universe into a time where the Chosen Ones were needed the most. And needed they absolutely were at this crucial moment, for an omnimalevolent force that had long since vanished off the grid of the Omnisphere itself has awakened from its eternal slumber to complete what it began eons ago. The 999, 999th incarnation of Omninoir was back, and with his return came the potential boundless elimination of all things in the totality of the Omnisphere.
If there was ever a time for the supreme Entity of Fate to act, now was the moment and act she did it seemed. Arceus had chosen well when he decided to hand the matter over to her; she was an expert at governing destinies that were grand enough to affect the entire Omnisphere itself, and in time Arceus knew that Ash Ketchum, Serena Yvonne, and Amber Valentino would go on to accomplish wonders and achieve unlimited miracles. He looked forward to seeing how everything played out, knowing that even with his nigh omniscience and omni perception and awareness he couldn't predict everything that was about to unfold; that made it both exciting and nerve wracking, but then again Arceus knew that the uncertainty and fear of the unknown was part of what made life so much richer and more meaningful. Delia was right in her line of thinking, the humans really didn't know how lucky they were and Arceus knew that his Chosen Ones were going to have dark and difficult times ahead, including the difficulty in finding meaning to their eternal life, but that was just for starters. Assuming they succeeded in their ultimate mission, and that was a pretty damn big if, Arceus had no way of knowing for absolute certain which path and which future they would ultimately choose, and he knew there were a lot of potential futures and possible expressions the 9 by 6 universe and it's predestined leaders could take on.
After musing for a bit, Arceus let out a deep, infinitely loud roar that resounded with omnipresence and shook the entire Omniverse by its very foundations, calling forth the legends of his universe, no matter where in Omniversal space-time they may have been or even if they had been hiding away in some omni-locked location like the 9 by 6 universe's version of the metaphysical heaven and hell; the latter of which was accessible only to Giratina and only when in the reverse world, they would hear the summoning and answer the call. Arceus had assigned each and every first legendary Pokemon to protect a certain aspect of the 9 by 6 Pokemon universe, including the metaphysical realms of hell and heaven themselves, both of which had absolute storage space and a grand total of 7 levels overall, the seventh of which contained the most wicked/purest souls respectively, souls that were transformed into angelic deities and demonic gods and whom presided over their own versions of paradise and even their own totalities, a feat Arceus prized itself for since it had essentially created a prison that none of the damned, pure evil souls would ever want to leave while at the same time designing heaven in such a way where the all-powerful celestial beings that resided in its 7th layer were at peace forever more and eternally in bliss and happiness.
Of course, the 7th heaven and 7th plain of hell didn't always have to give the souls taking up residence inside of them absolute, omnipotent demonic or angelic powers. That was just a bonus feature for anyone who wanted their own Omega Omnisphere to play in and preside over as either a benevolent god or rule as a tyrannical Anti-Godlike demon; the totalities they ruled over only as real as they believed it to be and completely out of sync with the actual Omnisphere.
Giratina was assigned to guarding the realm of hell and all its 7 layers, the gateway to which lay only in Giratina's own realm; the reverse world which Arceus had created to contain the Antimatter Pokemon while Omninoir was driving it to violent aggression. Since purging Omninoir from its system, Giratina had become much more docile and decided to stay in the Reverse world to ensure the omnipotent demonic gods of the metaphysical Hell's seventh level never broke free and wreaked omnipotent destruction upon the world. This was something that made it question Arceus's decision to entrust that much power to the souls of the damned in their own realm. Arceus had promised his creation trio member that the demonic gods would only possess that kind of power so long as they stayed within their hellish versions of the Omnisphere, another feature it prized itself for because that would give the omnimalevolent, absolutely corrupted souls of the 9 by 6 universe even more incentive to stay in their little playgrounds.
As for the realm of heaven, Arceus itself oversaw its protection and the actual physical gateway to it lay in the Hall of Origin itself; a gateway that was omni-locked but could still be forcefully entered by anyone with absolute powers of access, the omnipotent Arceus himself and many others in totality included on that list. Meanwhile, Palkia presided over omniversal space and Dialga over omni-temporal conventions, in simpler terms infinite timelines and infinite points in space throughout the omniverse as a whole but mostly just in the 9 by 6 universe alone. Though the range and scope of their powers expanded to encompass the entire omniverse and by extension the Omnisphere as a whole, they usually tended to think much smaller than that and just stayed in their own extra-dimensional, transcendent realms that were inaccessible to anybody but them, omnipotent beings, or nigh omnipotent beings on a truly enormous scale.
Mesprit herself presided over the entire Omniversal emotional spectrum, whereas Uxie embodied omniscience and was the only user of full omniscience in the Pokemon universe; surpassing even Arceus himself and knowing literally absolutely everything about anything in the Omnisphere. She possessed perfect knowledge about everything and no more knowledge in any one subject than any other. Azelf embodied the very concept of infinite will, possessing the literal Will of God and presenting that willpower to humans in limited quantities, well most humans anyways. Some... like the Chosen Ones would possess these qualities at absolute levels though that power among many others would lie dormant inside of them. Until the time was most ripe, the full scale of their abilities would remain deeper down... unaccessed. There would be boundless inner worlds deep within them; ones which would manifest their omnipotent powers in any and all situations that threatened their lives and that would act in their best interests and subtly fulfill their every desire and achieve boundless miracles. Ash himself would tap his unlimited powers of the mind or psycho-omnipotence fairly early on though, if what Arceus had foreseen in the omni-chrono continuum proved to be authentic.
The major point was that Arceus would need to convey to each of the legends that the Chosen Champions of the 9 by 6 Pokemon universe were about to be born; though he suspected a great many of them would already know this fact, Uxie and the legendary Blue Mew who predated creation itself being two of them. Dialga probably would too due to its connection to omni-dimensional time and its ability to see the omni-temporal continuum of the entire Omnisphere. Mere seconds following Arceus's omnipresent summoning call, many of the legends had begun to manifest inside of the grandest of halls; the endless white space providing infinite sanctuary to an infinite number of beings and existing outside of everything as well. Whilst here, any and all inhabitants of the Pokemon universe could stay in this place forever and never die of any cause, while the rest of the world outside withered away and crumbled into dust.
Arceus noted that Dialga was one of the first ones there, along with the first Celebi who had been born right at the beginning of time and was a level infinity member of her species, gaining omni-time manipulation powers on the same level as Dialga himself and thus always just as on time as the lord of time himself; though to Dialga's great relief she was only interested in being a time traveler and not usurping his throne as the god of time itself. The two of them had an interesting partnership and worked together to preserve the infinite timelines across infinite universes and realities. Arceus didn't have to be a genius to sense that there was some romantic tension between the two of them, and if not for Dialga's ongoing crush on his rather playful and uncommitted lieutenant the Blue Mew or for the rather noticeable difference in size, Arceus knew those two would probably had gotten together a long time ago and given whom he was referring to, laughed inwardly at his own time pun.
Of course, all legendary Pokemon retained within them the power to shift into human forms and even completely control their existence in such a way as to change their size from smaller than the tiniest particle enabling them to disappear into the subatomic omniverse, to big enough to encompass an infinite amount of space; so he knew that size was not really an issue if the first of his universe's Celebi and Dialga wanted to work a relationship out. But of course those two were too stubborn to admit their feelings, and looking at the size difference between them made for a rather comical mental image when considering something as simple as a physical relationship. Not that it really mattered though, Arceus knew there were species of spider who managed to mate despite the female being about one thousand times the size of the male, which essentially meant he was pretty much microscopic by comparison; yet somehow nature found a way to make it work. Relationships between legendary Pokemon, even ones of different species and of completely different sizes and shapes, was completely natural in the Ultra-Verse's infinite Pokemon worlds, but he supposed he was digressing now and the original point of this train of thought was to commend Celebi and Dialga for once again proving to be the most punctual and... pardon the pun, but on time of all the legendary Pokemon.
'We got your message and came as soon as we could my Lord Arceus,' Celebi telepathed, her sweet, innocent voice echoing soothingly in Arceus's infinitely vast mindscape. The Alpha Pokemon chuckled gently at Celebi's still childish tendencies and efforts to please him despite the fact that travelling throughout the myriad paths of infinity for an infinite number of lifetimes had made her older technically than he was; if one counted the number of years she had accumulated during each jump into the dimensional wormholes she created connecting her time to infinite times in infinite universes. She was perhaps one of his most well behaved children, never getting into fights and only really causing harmless mischief and pulling pranks throughout countless different points in history. She would disappear with stuff she knew would one day become important historical artefacts or that were priceless; always returning them the next day and baffling people's minds. She would also trap certain points in history in a seemingly infinite time loop and make everyone within that loop fully aware of the repetition and yet unable to stop it; only ceasing the time loop when said people within it said the magic word, AKA please. It was childish, harmless fun for the most part; but a lot of the humans didn't like Celebi's particular brand of humor, not that it stopped her and at least Dialga got a kick out of it.
'I am sure you did my child, now I trust you both know why I have summoned you here today while we wait for the rest,' Arceus commented kindly at the little girl as they anxiously awaited the arrival of all of the original legends of the 9 by 6 universe, some of them having mated with each other, with non legends, or even with humans and having descendents of their own and yet only the originals of each and every legend were members of the Legendary Pokemon Supreme Council. Lugia had done it with a female member of his own species that Arceus had created when the guardian of the seas pleaded with him to create a female of his own species, a plea Arceus couldn't bring himself to deny, having always been an omnibenevolent God and not wanting any of his children to suffer or to be alone.
Mews did it all the time, mating and reproducing asexually, with lesser Pokemon, or with members of their own kind to create more Mews or hexa perfect babies of the non legendary Pokemon parent, either way Mew were the ultimate progenitors, primogenitors, and nearly all other kinds of genitors all at once. Yet despite creating several of her kind in an effort to spread her infinite gene pool across the world, the Blue Mew had never actually mated with any of them herself and still had yet to obtain her mating marks; a trait she, the original Arceus, the Creation Trio, and several others still shared even now. Of course, Arceus wasn't opposed to spreading his genes or his species either, he just wasn't interested in doing so with a mate of his own creation and thus created a child, a daughter for him to raise from an egg and whom had been seemingly betrayed by a man she befriended on earth named Damos. She had entrusted several of her life plates to the man on the promise that he would someday return them to her, but he never did. Of course, this was all meant to happen, but father Arceus decided it was best if his daughter and kin discovered her role in the universe and Damos' true intentions for herself. He had also created another, younger child; a son with the same carefree, 'I can watch the Omnisphere itself burn and not give a fuck' attitude as his lieutenant the Blue Mew herself prized.
All and all though, many of the legends had spread their genes or had spent countless eons spawning perfect Pokemon the likes of which only the human race's newly developed infinity energy based technology could sense the potential of. Arceus had actually intended for a hexa perfect individual of every species of Pokemon in existence to end up befriending his Chosen Champions, a fact he had yet to break to his fellow original legends for even they may end up finally choosing a trainer to not only take over their respective duties to the universe, but also to entrust their complete and utter faith to. As the primary member of the three Chosen Champions, Ash would most likely be the one to capture all the original legends, though Arceus suspected that both Amber and Serena would capture at least one of every legendary species as well, a feat that would enable them to take their entire world by storm in ways even the world champion Red never could.
'I know what this is about Father Arceus, but as to why you picked that goofy oaf Mew to watch over them, I'll never know, even if she is the most beautiful...' Dialga gushed, the draconic Pokemon's dinosaur-like face taking on a slight blush as Celebi instantly overshot him, her face reddening to but not out of lust or physical attraction but anger, jealousy, and spite. 'What Dialga means Father, is that we have known for some time that the universe is planning to give rise to the Chosen Champions you have selected. I do agree with Dialga though, are you absolutely certain our little blue kitten is up to the job,' Celebi hissed, using the word kitten like it was to describe the most hideous example of a baby cat in the entire Omniverse.
Arceus sighed upon sensing the drama and angst unfold, Dialga immediately getting defensive of the blue angel who had stolen his heart and Celebi immediately jumping down his throat for getting all protective of his love interest. It was all old news in Arceus's own opinion, Dialga and Palkia had been fighting over Mew for eons, in fact the whole idea of one of them being able to mate her is what set them off in the first place and what forced Arceus to separate them and their respective realms with an impenetrable, omni-locked dimensional barrier. Their fights over Mew had gotten a little too out of hand and both Dialga and Palkia seemed unable to look past their mutual attraction of the completely indifferent Mew in favor of the likes of Celebi, who had legitimately come to love Dialga. Of course they were too thick headed to notice. Ironic really, that for all of Dialga's omni-chrono perception and his ability to see infinite timelines and infinite futures, he couldn't even see what was right in front of him or the fact that the most powerful of all the Celebi in the 9 by 6 universe was totally into him. Arceus supposed that love could oftentimes be cruel and a fickle thing, hell knows that the Omnisphere's supreme abstract entity of love could be entirely unpredictable, his omnipotent godhood giving him insight into all the Omnisphere's most powerful fundamental forces and all its omnipotent Source entities that controlled the abstract notions and concepts of totality on an omnipresent, almighty level.
Hell Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and the Lake Trio were embodiments of certain universal concepts but enhanced to an omniversal level; and only the likes of the Omnisphere's Source entities of their respective concepts surpassed their level of mastery over space, time, antimatter, emotions, etc. Mesprit was more than likely at least indirectly responsible for the heated, passionate argument the two legendary Pokemon in front of him were having, though in the Omnisphere literally any omniversal entity of love could have been responsible for this; there really was no way to know for sure. Arceus was brought out of his shockingly deep and highly detailed reverie by more of the first of each legendary Pokemon manifesting in the Hall of Origin, and he decided that for the time being he'd stop thinking over his infinite awareness of everything in existence. The last thing he wanted was to develop a migraine of omniversal proportions; too much thinking, especially inside the landscape of a virtually all-knowing, all-seeing, infinite mind, could lead to problems of an equal level of severity to what such a mind is capable of.
"Ah Palkia, good to see you, and Giratina, what a surprise to see you here so soon after my first call of summoning," Arceus pleasantly greeted in a perfectly human tongue, which surprised none of his fellow legends in the slightest; Palkia merely snorted out through his nose, letting loose a stream of draconian fire in the process. 'Kind of hard not to respond when you're making all that infernal racket, and I say that with the greatest respect father,' Palkia replied sarcastically, acting more like a rebellious teenager if Arceus were to think of them in the same way as a father thinks of his children, but alas this was perhaps one of the stranger families the omniverse has seen; though definitely not the strangest and certainly not one of the more fucked up, dysfunctional families he had envisioned in his all-powerful, all-seeing mental presence.
In the time it took for Arceus to simply shrug off Palkia's rather rude response a lot of the other first legends had already shown up. Victini, the dragon trio of Unova including Kyurem, the storm trio from Unova, the beast trio from Johto, the legendary bird trio from the Orange Islands from where all members of their species came, and even the Weather Trio from Hoenn as well as Lugia and Ho-Oh all showed up in multiple flashes of light. Arceus knew that they weren't really here in the flesh, merely projecting their astral bodies and sending them to the Hall of Origin to hear what the God of Pokemon had to say, standard Supreme Legendary Council procedure of course, though some of the legends did show up in person, Celebi, the Creation Trio, and the Blue Mew being one of them.
'Father, am I to assume that this call of summons is what I think it is?' Mew giggled cutely, and Arceus nodded as she flew around excitedly while some of the other legends understood and their eyes widened and others merely gazed at their Father in confusion. While Mew was performing acrobatic dances in midair, Arceus took a moment to wait and exchange pleasantries with all whom had showed up thus far while waiting for the others to arrive. Most of them probably assumed Arceus was looking for a status report like usual, so he suspected they would be truly surprised when that didn't turn out to be the case.
'Ooh, I'm excited, I wonder what this is about,' Victini whispered telepathically, her voice saturated with infinite energy as she tirelessly danced about the Hall of Origin's meeting room. Due to possessing limitless stamina, infinite energy, and the power to augment any and all super powers and abilities to almighty, absolute levels, Victini was a high energy girl who would attend parties late at night in human form. She would dance for hours and never tire, enhancing the human and/or Pokemon partiers' energy levels temporarily so they could keep up with her; and was just all around an inexhaustible girl with infinite energy all around. She loved to party, to play sports with the many humans across the world; to gatecrash Christmas parties and other such parties and dazzle the men there with her high energy and innocent beauty. Sometimes she would party a little too hard and would oftentimes mate with one of the Pokemon living there; though because there were laws against Pokephilea which would lock away the nice boys she danced with should her true nature ever be revealed, she opted not to hook up with any of them and especially not to mate with them, even if she had been tempted many times over the years. Her human disguise had never once been found out and she would always just up and vanish sometime during the night; earning her the respectable title of the phantom party girl among the many townsfolk she played with.
On top of all that, Victini had a rather interesting habit of using her unlimited power augmentation and her absolute victory bestowment abilities to help out nice people who were in a tight spot or faced with overwhelming odds; such as when somebody was outnumbered by members of a gang and needed that extra little dash of victory and empowerment to get themselves out. She had a bit of a hero complex and was prone to using her gifts to boundlessly empower a trainer's Pokemon in order to help them get said trainer out of a potentially life threatening situation. She knew her powers could be seriously misused to create vast armies of unstoppable, level infinity Pokemon and knew the dangers to herself full hand; but she helped the innocent and the weak nevertheless by ensuring victory for them over what should have been unbeatable odds. She was energetic, compassionate, and kind; but also quite shy about revealing her true form to humans, and while she had mated with everyday normal Pokemon to give birth to hexa perfect members of their species she herself had yet to have any children of her own. She was one of the youngest of Arceus's children and fellow legends, and one of his most innocent.
'You'll find out soon Victory, I don't know what's happening either but I'm just as excited as you are,' Meloetta promised her, the two of them laughing and giggling with gleeful anticipation as Arceus paid attention to each legendary interaction by themselves and all of them at once at the same time. He waited patiently while some of them exchanged pleasantries or even flexed their muscles at each other or brought each other up to speed on what they've been up to or what new hobbies they'd taken up. Meloetta and Victini maintained a really close, sisterly relationship and some of the relations between the legends were often familial or even romantic, but Arceus knew that for some of them; there were ancient rivalries and old feuds being acted out right now as was demonstrated by Dialga and Palkia once they became aware of each other's presence. Giratina was trying to act as a mediator between them; but her efforts were all for naught as they got right in each other's' faces and Celebi merely sweat dropped at the whole thing.
Groudon and Kyogre were likewise glaring at each other, and only the godlike, overwhelming, and dangerously calm presence of the first Rayquaza, who was over 4 billion years old and level infinity, bearing over them kept them in line. The primordial gods of the seas and the earth had lost most of their power when their ability to achieve primal reversion was sealed away within two omnipotent relics called the Red and Blue Orbs; but all Rayquaza need do was undergo mega evolution to effortlessly curb stomp them at this point, and with its Mikado organ over-saturated with an endless supply of mega evolution energy it could mega evolve at his leisure.
The same could not be said for Giratina, whom had transferred all of her unlimited mega evolution energy into her precious Griseous orb which she had also sealed away for safekeeping; to keep Omninoir from taking advantage of her mega evolved form and the omnipotence it once possessed. Due to her nature Giratina was much more prone to absolute corruption than most of the other legends; and even though she was omnipotent in her mega form Omninoir was a master of absolute corruption, and what could possibly be more corrupting than ultimate power? Arceus wasn't sure but he dreaded the answer to that question, as it was though Giratina could only retain her origin form in the Reverse world now; she couldn't use her all-powerful mega evolved form at all due to her orb being sealed away in an omni-locked portion of the Reverse World.
Same situation for Dialga and Palkia; they gave up their omnipotence via sealing their primal reversion powers in the Adamant and Lustrous orbs, which were buried deep beneath the earth during the primordial ages of the Sinnoh region, long before mankind had ever walked the earth. They could still manipulate space, time, and Antimatter in all universes, realities, and omni-dimensions respectively, and all of them possessed dragon god powers whereas Giratina also possessed the powers of a spectral entity of enormous power. But the truth was they were shadows of their former selves; though that didn't seem to stop the lords of time and space from shouting all manner of profanity at each other and just basically talking smack or as the humans would so crudely put it... measuring dicks.
'Honestly you guys, we're in the Hall or Origin and Arceus is about to tell us something of great importance, so stop the cursing and the arguing for once please,' Celebi pleaded both gently and firmly as she fluttered between the two deities of omni-dimensional space and time. The difference in size between her and the two of them was absolutely laughable, but both Dialga and Palkia seemed to deflate and sober up in her presence as they caught sight of her adorable pure blue eyes flickering with a dazzling gleam as she stood as a mediator between them much like Giratina herself was doing.
Dialga was the first to recover as he looked across from him at his lifelong rival, 'we'll settle this another time Palkia, right now something of great importance has been brought to several of our attention and Arceus wishes to bring some rather interesting news to light for those of us with no amount of foreknowledge or insight into the future or who can't sense what is happening from those of us who know by reading our thoughts and emotions,' Dialga mentioned matter-of-factly as both he and Palkia merely sighed and came to a reluctant agreement to settle their eons old dispute at another time.
'Very well but don't think this changes anything, because as far as I'm concerned... nothing is forgiven. Too long have we both had our eyes on the same potential mate, and for too long have you attempted to redirect her attention from me,' Palkia growled; a dangerous edge to his voice, like an omniverse sized volcano about to erupt. Dialga wasn't intimidated in the slightest, but at least he and Palkia finally agreed on something; there age old feud was far from finished. And whether the futuristic visions he had seen were true or not and whether Mew never even acknowledged his and Palkia's feelings and instead fell in love with the primary Chosen One like he had foreseen, he would continue to fight for her; hoping beyond hope that somehow the future he had seen was not some eternally fixed point in the Omega Omnisphere's collective history.
Somewhere to his approximate right Mew was contemplating her own hurricane of thoughts and emotions; knowing somehow that her new mission to look out for the Chosen One would prove to be a monumental task. Arceus had entrusted her and her alone with so much responsibility, something she couldn't really approve of; a life with responsibilities had its merits she supposed but her species embodied an existence that rendered her 'destined to live forever with all the power in totality, without any care in it whatsoever'. She had been proud of her carefree and totally indifferent nature, and knew better than most that absolute power could often result in eternally casual indifference to everything; even things that threatened the very totality of existence itself. But now Arceus was burdening her with a glorious purpose, and all she wanted to do was play and continue to pull pranks on the many humans and Pokemon alike who wasted time marveling at her powers; wanting to capture her and obtain her powers for themselves, never really believing it was a fruitless endeavor and that no amount of technology, even those freakish master balls they were creating, could ever contain her against her will.
Now though, she was assigned the momentous task of watching over Ash Ketchum and by extension the two girls he was destined to meet and become soul mates with. Even now she could sense their souls resonating with each other's from their mothers' wombs. Amber herself had only just been fertilized and procreated in her mother's womb not even a few days ago, and yet her fetus was brimming with its own boundless inner world and infinite potential to change the entire world at its very foundations. This kind of task should have been assigned to task masters like Celebi or even Arceus himself, not to fun loving, absolutely carefree deities like her. In spite of all that she was and what she embodied, she was somewhat worried she wasn't the legendary Pokemon for the job and yet Arceus kept insisting her destiny was meant to intertwine with those of the Chosen Ones and Ash in particular. Arceus was very adamant about including her in his schemes, and she wasn't really one to deny her surrogate father much of anything, even if what he was asking from her went against everything she stood for, every abstract notion she personified.
'Anyways, if I might interrupt some of my fellow legendary council members and ask the same question that is on all our minds; what exactly is this about Lord Arceus?" Mewtwo queried telepathically, and Mew's attention was ripped away from her own musings as was every other legend pulled out of whatever they were doing upon hearing Red's Mewtwo's gentle but insanely powerful and majestic sounding mental voice. Mew knew he wasn't directly related to her since there were thousands of her kind in the world that he could have been cloned from, plus had he been cloned directly from her he most certainly would've inherited the shiny gene, and yet here he was in his classical look.
If there was ever a living being in the entire Pokemon world whom was the perfect blend of both human and legendary Pokemon, he was it; he embodied the best of both the human realm and of the world of omnipotent legendary Pokemon, and Mew knew she would probably never find a better match for her in a potential mating partner. Yet like all the other Pokemon who had attempted to court her into an eventual mating, she just couldn't muster up any romantic feelings for any of them. She knew there were probably other legendary Pokemon who desired her hand as their mate and to brand their own mating marks on her; but she just couldn't see herself in any sort of long term, monogamous relationship, she was too playful, too fun loving, and oftentimes to provocative and flirtatious to be tied down in such a bond as the kind that an actual set of mating marks would result in.
At that point, all of the attention shifted towards Arceus as Mewtwo's psycho-omnipotence seemed to take a hold of them all and mentally steered the direction of all conversations to where it needed to be. Arceus cleared his throat as he addressed his fellow legends at last, carrying on even as Richard Yvonne's Diancie, Hoopa, and Volcanion materialized in the infinite white space of the legendary supreme council's meeting room; followed swiftly by Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde who stood in its fifty percent form despite having at least six, including its three mega evolved forms, each of which bestowed it with a certain kind of omnipotent superpower.
'Thank you all for coming, I welcome you all to the Hall of Origin once again and as usual I expect there to be no fights breaking out while you are all here. I will not have cataclysm or bloodshed in my domain; all ongoing feuds are to temporarily ceasefire while you all walk my lofty halls, and I make it very clear that this is a neutral territory to any and all warring legendary Pokemon who cannot seem to make amends. Do I make myself clear?!' Arceus started off as all the legends nodded in acceptance, having come to accept this place exactly as their Father and Creator described it long ago. At this point it was only a formality that Arceus kept reminding them of this fact and they nodded once more; all of them equally curious as to what this was all about or what their Father had summoned them here for.
'Now, before I tell you all what has been brought to my attention I shall take this opportunity to receive a status report from each and every one of you,' Arceus said once again and instructed the legends to report in order from Kanto to Kalos. Zapdos spoke up for the legendary birds that were born on the islands of fire, ice, and lightning, having recently flown over the Kanto region and deciding to clear up some things that had been brought to his attention. 'My lord Arceus, I have taken it upon myself to oversee the Kanto region and its inhabitants from time to time; and aside from the criminal actions of a human gang known as Team Rocket, I've very little to report aside from the fact that these cretins are once again active in both Kanto and Johto, just as they were in Red's era. I'm sure the World Champion of the human realm would like to know this,' Zapdos reported, casting Mewtwo a wary glance as the catlike Pokemon nodded and Mew herself frowned.
Those foolish humans had been hunting her kind for decades, even following Doctor Fuji's original work to clone another Mewtwo; only this time their knowledge in the field of cloning was greatly increased and they no longer needed a living specimen to give birth to the clone this time. Doctor Fuji had been a kind scientist, and politely requested a Mew's help in birthing a human-Mew hybrid to represent the best of both worlds and hopefully to bridge the gap between humans and legendary Pokemon forever more. That had been his dream, and he had been one of the few humans who was open minded enough to readily accept the idea of Pokephilea and human-Pokemon relations. He had to pay an arm and a leg to hire suitable suitors for Mew in order to quietly circumvent the laws against Pokephilea and of course the opportunity to birth a human-Mew hybrid was one many people would not want to pass up.
Granted, finding people with strong genes to mate with the fully trained Mew to create this demigod of sorts was not easy, and the end result had been more Pokemon than human; but Fuji had finally created a clone with a stable genetic sequence and everything. As far as Mew was concerned, job done, and Mewtwo had been readily accepted as one of the fellow legends even if his human genome was much more prominent than it was in most Mew; Fuji meanwhile had retired to a small town on Kanto's Eastern coast known as Lavender town, a place where people go to mourn the dead or accept the possibility of a life after death.
As she thought about this; Lugia and Ho-Oh picked up where Zapdos left off, deciding to fill Arceus in on Johto and the Orange Islands. 'Pretty much the same in Johto Father, humans and Pokemon have been cooperating better recently and even Ho-Oh has been considering returning to the mortal world; but strife and chaos are still present at times and I've no doubt that the vast majority of humans would still capture and misuse our power if given the chance. As Zapdos said Team Rocket is once again active and it seems it's leader Giovanni is back on his throne and stronger than ever, with a team of level infinity ground types thanks to those technologies the humans have developed for sensing the perfect Pokemon that were bred by wild Pokemon mating with some of us. I actually have a family of my own to look after; my wife and a baby Lugia I named Silver. The last thing I want is for them to come into harm's way but no matter how bad some humans are I believe that their capacity for goodness and for hope far surpasses their capacity for violence and destruction,' Lugia announced to Arceus and all the legends at large, most of them agreeing.
Even Ho-Oh with all of her complete awareness of infinite timelines and her ability to sense every possible future, nodded in accord with her oldest friend's statement. She herself had no mates or children of her own to look after and she couldn't help feeling a little envious of Lugia since he had gotten Arceus to create a mate for him; something she was still working up the courage to ask for. Then again, she would have rather found a mate that was already living and had a choice in the matter rather than ask Arceus to create a being specifically designed to be her soul mate. She would have taken Lugia himself if that had been an option, but for all of her foresight she had been too slow to admit her feelings for him, and now he had a wife and a child of his own and was perfectly happy and content with his life. Despite her envy, she was truly, genuinely happy that he was so happy; it gave her hope that there was someone for everyone, even a washed out old rainbow bird like her.
'I don't have much to add to Lugia's original statement, but I have foreseen things; both good and bad, and while the humans are susceptible to this ultimate darkness we are too, ultimately I believe that we as legendary beings are no better and no worse than the humans are. I truly believe that when push comes to shove they will do the right thing; kind of like we are all doing the right thing by coming together for this meeting despite any issues that may exist between some of us. Forever united, never we shall fall, so long as believe in ourselves and in each other I believe that we will have a fighting chance against this thing,' Ho-Oh admitted as Arceus smiled in obvious approval, glad to know that Ho-Oh and Lugia were allowing themselves to see the glass as half full and not half empty.
Groudon and Kyogre didn't have anything current or recent to contribute due to being in a deep sleep in their bodies back in their respective territories in Hoenn; it was only because Arceus summoned them that their astral bodies appeared at all but they were still pretty drowsy looking which would probably explain why they weren't fighting as much as they usually did. Rayquaza sighed in irritation and decided to report instead; realizing it was his job as the dominant Hoenn legend to do so even though Deoxys and Jirachi were there too as well as the Regi trio. Aside from Deoxys, which Rayquaza had long since had an ongoing friendly rivalry with; none of the other legends could really contend with the Sky High Pokemon, the very Pokemon who danced in the heavens and was giving off a boundless brilliance of power and Celestial lights.
'Father Arceus, I guess I am the one who will give the reports on the goings on across Hoenn. Crime rates are at an all time low, though I sense a deep collective breath in the winds that only happens before a potentially world breaking storm; danger is imminent, I don't know when it will happen or how but something foul is afoot in the Hoenn region. Anyways, the Draconids are active once more and their new chosen one is named Zinnia; she is being trained to prevent a cataclysm that is written in the stars and the impending doom of another meteoroid on a collision course with earth. It is many years away but I can sense an almighty alien presence steering it towards our planet earth; it may be another Deoxys,' Rayquaza proclaimed, gazing hesitantly at said Pokemon floating beside him as though nervous he might have offended the alien god, but to his relief Deoxys merely shrugged his four tentacle-like arms with indifference. 'I don't really care dude, it could very well be another one of my kind; my only concern is that it could be something even worse,' Deoxys admitted as Rayquaza and even Groudon and Kyogre agreed.
Arceus quickly insisted that they deal with the impending apocalyptic rock when it was a more immediate threat; because right now there were bigger concerns. The Weather Trio and the other Hoenn legends agreed with this and allowed the various Sinnoh legends to update as well. Darkrai was the first one to start. 'I've recently taken up residence in a peaceful little town called Alamos, but I've seen enough of the Sinnoh region in all my countless millennia to know that an impending storm of disaster is on the horizon, much like Rayquaza described in Hoenn. I can assure you though, Alamos town is my home and I will do everything I can to protect it and by extension the entire Sinnoh region,' it proclaimed determinedly as Cresselia smiled at him in agreement. For Pokemon that were supposed to be arch rivals and natural enemies, they got along pretty well, perfectly understanding the yin and yang of their dualistic, symbiotic relationship.
Mesprit spoke up next; deciding that she couldn't wait anymore to say her piece and wanting to skip right ahead to when Arceus told them the juicy details of what he discovered. Her own deep rooted connection to the Omniversal emotional spectrum endowed her with infinitely intense emotions of any and all kinds, but right now her most dominant emotion was excitement and eagerness. This absolute anticipation was driving her completely bonkers, so much that she couldn't stand it anymore and wanted these formalities out of the way and done with. 'Humans are as emotional as ever I suppose; the capacity for genuine romantic love is at an all-time low though and that makes me really sad. More and more people are basing their relationships off of lust, physical attraction, money, wealth, power, and the like and fewer and fewer people are marrying just for love and not for convenience. Soul bonds between humans are almost nonexistent now; though I can say that for those of their kind that have formed soul bonds in recent years, the love between them is as strong if not stronger than ever. I'm getting all giddy inside just feeling the obvious love these people have for each other, even if they are few and far in between in our world there is a whole Omniverse of true, genuine lovers out there and... My God I'm tearing up just being connected to it all...' Mesprit's voice broke off as her entire pixie-like body broke out into a full body blush and she started stuttering and tripping over her own words in a giddy sigh of contented pleasure, tears of almighty, infinitely intense joy gracefully falling down her adorable, beautiful face.
'You always were a hopeless romantic Mesprit,' Azelf pointed out, the being of infinite willpower noting that once again their omniscient friend Uxie wasn't contributing anything to their ongoing report. She had never been one for words especially when giving her opinion on something could be an invitation for rebuttal. Being omniscient meant she was eternally infallible, absolutely incapable of any errors in her judgement, knowledge, and wisdom whatsoever; yet people would question whether or not she actually spoke with such flawless infallibility so she was eternally mute ever since the day she was born. Not that Azelf minded; he had the distinct feeling he didn't want to be around the day she said a word because that would be a sign of the Omniverse undergoing extinction. Not to mention she didn't have any sense of self or individuality from all the beings and knowledge of the Omega Omnisphere; so maybe she couldn't really speak as an individual life form anyways.
Dialga sighed upon realizing that it was his and Palkia's turn; Celebi giving him an encouraging nod as he addressed the crowd of legends. 'Normally I would say that I have nothing to contribute due to being in my own dimension for so many years; but quite frankly the Sinnoh region is about to face a time of great crisis and while my foreknowledge of these events is impressive it is also incomplete. I caution you all, even you Father Arceus, to not take my words lightly; for the events that will transpire in Sinnoh will affect each and every one of us, not necessarily all for the better,' Dialga stated, able to sense the dangers presented to them in the future during the time that the Chosen Ones travel through Sinnoh.
Palkia merely snorted upon hearing Dialga's warning and merely said he had very little to contribute aside from somebody mucking about with the fabric of space and causing ripples of distortion to resonate throughout the myriad paths of infinity. Arceus nodded at both of their reports and the rest of the reports from the two remaining regions passed by seemingly unremarkably. The swords of Justice commented on the recent emergence of a special device called the X-Transceiver the humans were developing and using to record their recent adventures on film; something they readily agreed to so long as the people filming them kept their distance and didn't try to capture them. They had recently acquired a new member of the team in the form of a newborn Keldeo; though the spirit of his ancestor and the first member of his kind was there to; present at this meeting just as all the first legends were even though he had never accepted Cobalion's offer to join their team. The first Keldeo was too much of a free spirit and was level infinity as well; meaning he was perfectly able to look after himself but at least he maintained a friendly outgoing personality and only rejected Cobalion's offer 50 percent of the time, simply opting to ignore him the rest of the time, or laugh, or chuckle.
'Unova has been peaceful for over a thousand years, but Kyurem, Reshiram, and I sense chaos on the horizon. Kyurem however is content with the fact that even in the face of a fate so great as the fate of the world the champion of the universe will have strength enough to save it,' Zekrom reported from the designated area of the Unovan dragon trio, Reshiram and Kyurem nodding in agreement as Arceus smiled. Most of the humans didn't realize that Kyurem wasn't just an empty husk leftover from when the original dragon god of Unova split into three different aspects, he was actually the original dragon himself; only by combining the energies of both Reshiram and Zekrom within him could Kyurem change into his unlimited form. And for the sake of setting suitable goals and challenges for him and the rest of his species to overcome, of which there were two so far in the known 9 by 6 universe, Kyurem decreed that all members of his species throughout this universe attain the powers of their unlimited form only upon reaching a level of infinity; a mechanic that weirdly enough was now one of the many constants throughout the Ultra-Verse and it's alternate version of the Pokemon Multiverse which was infinitely removed from anything even remotely canon or canon based.
Kyurem took it from there, deciding to fill Arceus in on what he had seen of Unova and the world on his end. 'Like my esteemed fellow legends have pointed out; the entire world itself is holding its breath in loathing anticipation of a great storm, a maelstrom of chaos that will affect things globally and even omniversally; I see a war, the greatest war of our time, with the whole of creation, the Omega Omnisphere itself at stake. I see an uncountable number of shadow Pokemon, a mass outbreak of omnimalevolent legendary Pokemon, all of them the extension of one's own infinite will, all of them merely this being's countless different manifestations of nigh omnipotent power. I see the Chosen Three, along with their comrades and friends from across the Ultra-Verse and even from worlds beyond its borders, battling for the future of the Omniverse, against a being who is evil in its purest, most omnipotent form.
In this battle there is a massive omni-nova steadily detonating the totality of existence, expanding infinitely outward in all directions and consuming everything in its apocalyptic wake; I see that this battle will involve several other major heroes from across the Ultra-Verse, and much of totality will be destroyed. I cannot see however, who the victor will be for that is a question the Omega Omnisphere refuses to yield the answer of to me. Also it would seem this battle is an eternally fixed point in the Omniverse's forever history, but the outcome of the match is not beholden to anything or anyone, it could literally go either way and there is no way to sway the fight either way from our point in time,' He telepathed with a cryptic undertone that spoke volumes of just how horrifying his visions of the future had been, an undertone that had every legend, Giratina, Darkrai, and even Yveltal included, cringing upon hearing Kyurem speak.
Arceus sighed morosely upon hearing this and processing the enormity of Kyurem's futuristic report. 'It is as I feared my children; a war against the primordial void himself, with the whole of creation at stake. With the Chosen Champions of the universe so close to being born, we're all going to need to be vigilant in the coming days my sons and daughters. For the monumental task of protecting the Chosen Ones until they are ready to embrace their destinies, I have selected Lady Mew here to play the role of an guardian angel of limitless godlike and celestial powers; is there anyone among you who disagrees with my decision?!' Arceus stated authoritatively as pandemonium ensued among the legends who only just realized that not only were the Chosen Champions of Arceus so close to being born, but also that their father and creator had selected the most irresponsible and devil-may care legendary Pokemon to be in charge of the task of protecting them.
For those of them that had any foreknowledge or awareness of why Arceus called them here tonight, the legends such as Dialga, Celebi, Uxie, Kyurem, Ho-Oh, and surprisingly Mesprit were all calm whereas nearly every other Legendary Supreme Council member was currently freaking out in their own unique way. The forces of nature and the very universe itself seemed to respond to each legend's shouts of outrage or even just the level of shock some of them were feeling. The psychic type legendary Pokemon all possessed psycho-omnipotence and thus had some insight into the future thanks to their infinite mindscape, and being of absolute mind and willpower enabled them to keep their cool, well most of them; Mew herself was on the receiving end of a lot of doubt in her abilities and surprisingly envy, envy from legendary Pokemon who wished to take on the task of protecting the Chosen Ones themselves.
Arceus stamped his hoof and a deafening boom of thunder shook the Hall of Origin and the entirety of planet earth as his all-powerful voice of God shouted for silence, and silence immediately ensued as each and every other legendary Pokemon immediately complied; not because they were completely under Arceus's thrall, hell a lot of them were every bit as powerful as their creator depending on their form or their species, but because as their creator and the one who gave them their lives and their powers, Arceus was held in the highest respect. 'That's better; now please allow me to explain why I have chosen Lady Mew for the task I have just described. As a being with next to no responsibilities I realized she would be the only one of us with any significant amount of time to devote to this one endeavor without it interfering with her usual responsibilities as a legendary Pokemon. No offense my Lady Mew but we both know this to be true, as an impossibly powerful species of legendary Pokemon your kind is destined to have all the power in the Omega Omnisphere without any care in it whatsoever. This is not you or your fellow Mews' fault for I designed your species to be this way; it is actually helpful in times such as these where I might need someone to fall back on for important endeavors when all of my other fellow legends are otherwise preoccupied. Though I never could've imagined being able to choose you for such a glorious task, that my dear child was completely coincidental I can assure you.
I know I have never asked much of anything from you before my beautiful daughter and I wouldn't be doing so now if the task at hand wasn't extremely important and a life or death situation for the omniverse as a distinctive whole, but I think my fellow legends will agree with me when I say a life with little to no responsibility will feel empty to you once you've had a taste of protecting something, anything you worked hard to build or to create, or just preserving and protecting the life of someone you are responsible for. Believe me when I say this my little girl, you are like my own daughter and I want you to experience the other side of life, the exact opposite of the life you yourself are accustomed to; who knows you may actually come to enjoy it in time, but until such a time I need you to be as attentive on this matter as you possibly can be. Can I count on you my Lady Mew?' Arceus explained passionately as all the legends who had flipped out on the blue feline grew somewhat sheepish and surprised when Mew adopted an uncharacteristically determined expression, her gorgeous, baby blue eyes shining with a luster never before seen.
'My Lord Arceus you to are like the Father I've always wanted; I've no experience with any kind of life of responsibilities and have been tied to nothing and no one. Maybe it's the fact that you entrusted this daunting task to me but lately I find myself wanting, no craving something more in my life than what I've had so far. You know as well as anyone that I'm a girl of unlimited means Lord Arceus; I live my life in the intimate knowledge that I can do anything and be anything, that I can command all things in the Omega Omnisphere on an omnipotent level, unless the things commanded are also almighty obviously, but my point is this existence of mine is the ultimate rush, and I guess I just want to have a more constructive outlet in which to channel my limitless power and energy,' Mew admitted with a light blush as some of the legends fainted upon hearing this whereas others, Arceus and surprisingly Celebi, smiled in approval while Mewtwo grinned at his first friend in the Legendary Supreme Council like a maniac, showing his large, needle sharp, carnivorous teeth.
All of the legendary Pokemon were either too shocked to say anything or just happy that Mew had finally found something in life worth being a little responsible for. They figured Arceus was right when he told her that a life without responsibilities would feel empty once she was accustomed to actually being responsible for anything, and they believed that this was the key to her finding something to be truly passionate about. Mew may have been eternally carefree and indifferent, but she was also disinterested and dispassionate about everything as well, and though that never depressed her before they knew this task of protecting the Chosen Ones as some sort of all-powerful guardian angel was going to open up her mind and her heart in ways she could never have imagined before.
Just as each Legendary Supreme Council member contemplated the impending birth of the Chosen Ones and how their presence would affect them all, Arceus's voice rang out once more in response to this very question. 'My children, we will all have to prepare for the Chosen Champions' arrival in our world; dark and difficult times lie ahead, and given Kyurem's report the situation is even worse than I anticipated, though now I too can sense that this war with the ultimate pinnacle of darkness is truly an eternally fixed point in the Omega Omnisphere itself. In time we will all have to decide between what is right and what it easy, in time we have to decide if we want to remain separated within our respective realms and spheres of control or if we want to unite under the same banner, the same common goal that my Chosen Champions are about to be faced with. I know some of you have sworn that no human will ever capture you, and some of you bear huge responsibilities, but you have to remember the fact that the Chosen Ones are not like other humans and will not misuse your power. We need to be there for them in case they can't defeat this darkness on their own, and trust me my children they will need all the help they can get. In time even I will join the future Pokemon team of Ash Ketchum, who will be the primary member of the Chosen Champions, the first of their holy trinity, I have every hope that you all will too, but ultimately the choice is yours whether or not you choose to trust him with your allegiance,' Arceus proclaimed.
The reaction was instantaneous and Arceus's statement had the desired effect as nearly every legendary council member gasped or choked outright in shock. It was a good thing they hadn't been drinking water because otherwise they would have performed the most spectacular series of spit-takes in all of history which would be eternally cemented in mythology and be talked about forever more. Even the council members who could see the future seemed surprised and impressed by Arceus's proclamation, and Arceus would have smiled physically if he had an actual mouth to do it with, but most of the time he just sent a telepathic image of a smiley face to indicate his happiness with how a situation turned out.
Mew did a few happy dances in midair, surprised by how things had worked out and feeling giddily excited for the soon to be newborn Chosen Ones. She and Arceus had discussed her new responsibilities a couple of months before but ultimately she was glad he explained it to her the way he did now; somehow no matter how sad she was whenever she had nobody to play with her back in ancient times Arceus always knew how to cheer her up. Hell he'd created a female Lugia for her fellow psycho-omnipotent being, and Lugia had been surprised by how willful his mate had been and how much she hated him at first. She had felt angry because the only reason Arceus created her was so she could be forced into an arranged marriage with a male member of her species she might not have even liked; which was a pretty solid argument in Mew's opinion. Arceus had insisted to Lugia that she would come around and worst case scenario they could still be friends at least, and at least he wasn't the only one of his kind anymore. True to his word Arceus had been right about everything once more as the female Lugia decided to try and be friends with her would-be mate, and things just kind of escalated from there.
Being the only Pokemon besides Mesprit who had an infinite emotional capacity and was inundated with the absolute powers of the Omniversal emotion spectrum, Mew loved a good love story and loved a happy ending even more. She also enjoyed the entertainment that stemmed from the drama between some of the older legends, but Mew herself wasn't one to go around causing trouble for the other legendary beings who shared her universe, even if everything in that universe was a toy to her, she was friendly and outgoing enough that nearly all of the legends liked her, or at least tolerated her to some degree.
All and all, Mew was a playful cat, and as much as she hated to admit it part of her catlike nature won out at times and made her feel like everything in the Omega Omnisphere was hers to play with, the whole of creation itself was her scratching post, her catnip, and chalk full of her subservient people who catered to her every whim. She didn't always think like this and 9 times out of 10 she managed to beat this side of her down deep within the bottomless recesses of her infinite mindscape, but sometimes that selfish catlike personality was harder to control. Ultimately her kind was the very epitome of power and indifference mingled together, and now she was being handed a responsibility for the first time in her life and hoped she wouldn't think of the Chosen Ones as just three more toys for her to play with.
In the end though she knew her maternal instincts as the mother of all existence would win out, that she would treat the Chosen Ones as her own litter of kittens until such a time where their claws were sharp enough and their training far enough along for them to make it on their own. One thing however was deeply unsettling to her; some of the futuristic visions she saw of her and the male Chosen One, the one called Ash, showed him adding her to his roster of Pokemon partners with a love ball of all things. A florescent pink Pokeball with a darker pink heart on the upper half and the words 'My Precious Mew' inscribed on it. Even more disconcerting was the fact that just before he captured her in that Pokeball which hung around his neck and close to his heart ironically enough, he planted a kiss on her maw, and not just any kiss but a Kalosian kiss.
She was terrified by the implications presented in this futuristic vision and wondered to herself why she had to see that? From what she was able to understand the Chosen Three were meant to be engaged in a three-way soul bond, no more no less, so why was she the one kissing the handsome young man she figured was the male in that three-way relationship and not Serena or Amber? Was this really a vision of her and Ash kissing, or someone who looked like him? She had no doubt it was her in that vision, even though there were tons of shiny and oddly colored members of her species across the Ultra-Verse as a whole; but what about the boy who looked like he could be Ash? She had no idea what he looked like right now and only had her instincts and this future vision to go by. Surely there was time for her to figure this all out and determine whether or not it was truly the primary Chosen One in that vision of the future? She never wanted a mate before and to be honest she didn't want one now, maybe not ever.
Her musing was interrupted by the various legends around her growing tense as the world all around them became impossibly devoid of happiness, love, and positive energy; the whole of creation going dark and a pulse of pure, infinite evil beating all around them. Giratina tensed upon sensing this force pulsing all around them recognizing it almost right away while the other legends all seemed to have their darkest nightmares, worst fears, and greatest regrets manifesting before them. The air had gone totally frigid, and only Arceus's golden glowing form provided any solace, any comfort from the epitome of pure evil hanging all around them, in a place that was supposed to be safe and protected against anything and everything in the Omega Omnisphere that wasn't omnipotent.
Mew's infinitely carefree and indifferent nature made her less affected by this evil, but she was still quite unprepared and quite surprised when a being imitating her likeness materialized in the center of the hall beside her and in front of Arceus. Unlike her, this Mew's fur color was darker than the smoothest and most well polished obsidian, and he was easily twice the size of even her clone Mewtwo who gazed at the creature of darkness before them with absolute loathing; dwarfing a Siberian Tiger with a long skinny tail over twenty feet long, rabbit feet like hers though with sharp, menacing claws sheathing and unsheathing like some kind of a restless tick. His mouth was agape with sharp silver, carnivorous teeth dripping with blood, and his eyes were ruby red with black vertical pupils; giving him a nightmarishly evil look that made Mew herself cringe upon gazing up at them.
'Pardon me to interrupt the party but apparently someone left me off the guest list,' the infamous Black Mew mocked, ignoring the angry and fearful stares of the legendary Pokemon all around him as Dialga's scraping, metal on metal-like voice sounded out. 'Excuse me but this is a private meeting,' he growled dangerously, just as aware of the fact that this thing had managed to breach an omni-locked location as the rest of the legends were. The obsidian feline smirked, his thinly lipped maw lifting upwards in an evil smile. 'Ah excellent, I hate interruptions which is why I apologized for mine just a few seconds ago,' he said conversationally. Mew could sense that he possessed the power to bring out the worst possible versions of themselves and every other sentient being with just his presence, that he could absolutely corrupt even the purest soul with just his touch or his thoughts. Even she felt his influence slowly revealing a side of her that was as omnimalevolent as he was, and she could feel the absolute darkness trying ever more forcefully to claw its way out of the impenetrable wall of indifference Mew built around her infinite mindscape.
'Who the hell are you?!' Articuno demanded, and Mew wondered the same thing as her lookalike grinned lasciviously at her, seeming to sense that Mew wasn't as affected by his presence as anyone else in the vast white hall, including Arceus himself whose dread plate gave him access to the powers of an Anti-God, something he had neglected to tell his children about since as an omnipotent creator he could be both the brightest yin and the darkest yang if he wanted. 'I'm Omninoir, the antithesis of Arceus himself and one of the primordial voids that predates the creation of the Omniverse. I heard you all standing here in your lofty hall, fretting over these god spawns and their capacity to save the Omega Omnisphere from extinction. Well I'm here on the behalf of an all-powerful being who wants you to let the Omnisphere die.
You see, death is a beautiful thing; when mortal beings die their bodies go into the ground and turn into flowers, when immortals fade away their essence returns to the original state of the Omnisphere which is the absolute stillness and emptiness that predates the creation of totality itself. My kind call it the Eternal, the Time Lords from the Doctor Who universe call it the Void, but the Grand Omnidonae call it the Source Anti-God, and believe me when I say that it's the ultimate pinnacle of beauty. My point is that it is only in the interval after dying that new things can sprout, only in the intervening period after the Omega Omnisphere's boundless elimination that one can plunge upon the completely unknown and unexplored, the absolutely new, fresh, and uncharted,' Omninoir preached pretentiously.
Arceus sighed as some of his children grew outraged at the dark god's pronouncement whereas some of the less intelligent ones, like Groudon merely stared at the newcomer in frustrated confusion. 'You're insane! Arceus you can't seriously be okay with this intrusion,' Dialga exclaimed in poorly concealed terror, the presence of Omninoir manifesting their worst fears and darkest nightmares, even Darkrai, Yveltal, and Giratina were wide eyed with terror, and the three of them were the only legends aside from Arceus with any sort of ties or connections to Omninoir's infinite darkness, his destructive and chaotic abilities.
The Alpha Pokemon sighed once more in defeat as he addressed his children at large, his supreme voice managing to calm them down moderately well as the Black Mew form his ancient nemesis took gazed upon him with that ever-present smirk, knowing exactly what he was doing to Arceus's family and taking delight in their misery. 'Dialga, I am sorry to say but Omninoir is in fact one of our fellow legendary Pokemon and as such is allowed to choose whether or not to attend these meetings. This was decreed long ago by the Omni-Creator of the Ultra-Verse himself, and I am in no position to change that,' Arceus admitted woefully as Omninoir's vile, malevolent grin widened.
'You poor souls are so burdened with all the years you've accumulated in your eternal lives, but life is a very... deceitful omniversal construct; give her an inch and she'll take away everything you know, treasure, love, and value. Existence itself is a sham, and for all of our struggles to make our mark in life, for all we or anyone else in totality will accomplish, given long enough our names will be all but forgotten. Even the most omnipotent beings can't compete with time, and death, so I ask you all, why bother going on at all knowing that it's all for naught in the end? Why don't I just destroy you and everything else right now, should I not be opposed by the vast pantheon of omnipotent beings all it would take is a single thought and I could end all of your pain, all of your suffering,' Omninoir proclaimed, his omnimalevolent presence subtly washing over them all and making some of the legendary beings present consider whether or not he was truly right, but then Mew spoke up, her angelic, inhumanly beautiful voice echoing throughout the collective minds of each and every legendary Pokemon present in Arceus's Hall of Origin, Omninoir included.
'You're wrong though, life isn't a lie and existence isn't a sham, it's all one big game, and sometimes you gotta keep playing through to win it all. Sure there are those of us who question the meaning of it all but life doesn't even really need to have a point, all it really needs is fun for the sake of fun, and life for the sake of life and the sake of living. As long as you have those qualities it doesn't matter if people think you have no quality of life; I honestly always found that humans and mortal beings put too much stock on the meaning of everything, but then again questioning the meaning of existence has led to a great many tales of the impossible, and explanations for things as vast as the Omega Omnisphere itself.
So don't sit there now and tell me this is all for nothing, that it's all pointless because I know for an absolute fact that everything has a purpose in life including life itself. If we all knew the reason for our existence right from the get go, if we knew absolutely everything including our destinies and exactly how they're supposed to go and exactly how to get there, then you could say life was pointless and that the day we know everything we might as well stop. But that's the beauty of life and of power and knowledge and even death; they're constantly changing and evolving, just as the Omega Omnisphere is becoming something completely new and different from what it was. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm just going off my own imperfect experiences but I think you're wrong on almost every account. The Omega Omnisphere is not worth giving up on, not just yet, and quite frankly I'm not sure it will ever be. It's a place where all things are possible no matter how absurd or ridiculous the notion, and that is the kind of world worth living in and the kind that is truly worth fighting for,' Mew concluded with such exuberant passion and mad love for the ultimate game of life she herself had played for countless billions of years that every one of the other legendary Pokemon found themselves moved by her speech. Mesprit actually had tears in her eyes and Arceus nodded in approval.
'Well said Lady Mew,' he commented simply, whereas Omninoir merely sighed in what almost seemed to be disappointment. 'You are unbearably naive little feline; the Omega Omnisphere is like a giant puppy, and when you see a puppy writhing around in pure agony you put it down, you don't leave it to suffer. You can trust in whatever fallacies you wish, but it is an irrefutable truth of the Omega Omnisphere that life as an omniversal whole is a cruel and heartless construct. Ever hear the saying that life isn't fair, well what's not fair is not worth dealing with; you may cling to your petty ideals and your feeble flickers of light throughout the Omniverse, which die in the end; but in the final end of all things in totality only the darkness, the stillness, and the Source Anti-God will remain. Everything else will be purged, either naturally and over an infinite amount of drawn out, agonizing time, or quickly and painlessly by my hand or by the hand of another omnicidal Anti-God or equally all-powerful force of destruction,' Omninoir hissed with vile, malevolent passion before finally vanishing into the ether, taking his unbearable presence with him and causing the almost total absence of happiness, love, and positivity to dissipate.
There was a collective sigh of obvious relief as the foreign aura of absolute darkness retreated from the Supreme Legendary Council's midst, and Arceus took it from there to carry on where things left off before they were so abruptly interrupted. 'I believe the futures of the Chosen Ones to be in good hands with Lady Mew here; so now that we all know what kinds of threats exist out there in the Ultra-Verse are there any here who object to our fair lady taking on this monumental task?! Keep in mind what you all just heard her say, and the kinds of powers she possesses. I think she is up to the task, even if my initial reasoning for believing this was based on pretty much nothing I knew she didn't have too many other preoccupations and just decided to assign the task to her. Now Lady Mew before we either deny or accept my suggestion to have you watch over my Chosen Champions, do you yourself wish to withdraw from your decision to protect them, and pass the task onto someone else?' Arceus spoke with a reassuring glance that promised Mew he would not think any less of her if she was scared to endanger herself for the sake of the children; especially given what they were up against which even Mew had yet to fully understand.
She was still thinking about some of the things Omninoir said, and horrifyingly realized this whole prophecy of the Chosen Ones was about the Anti-God Pokemon; whatever war Kyurem described in his futuristic vision, she knew it wasn't just about beating Omninoir it would become about proving whether he was right or wrong. She knew that even if the Chosen Champions had not been involved in this her mind would have already been made up; but with that totality hating monster threatening their lives, the lives of three innocent babies, she knew she would never forgive herself if she rejected Arceus's offer to lead a life of responsibilities and if the children got hurt or worse because of her cowardice.
She wanted to be brave and to feel invincible like she always did, but this time she was up against a being who could actually threaten her life, something she always secretly thought was impossible. She knew that the smart thing to do would be to reject Arceus's offer; that is if she wanted to live a little longer, but also knew that the kind of life involved with getting caught up in a war with the whole of creation at stake was an opportunity for adventure and daring like no other. Despite the circumstances she was a sucker for adventures; having traveled the vast expanse of the Ultra-Verse in the primordial ages of the 9 by 6 Pokemon universe. Arceus hadn't really based his reasons for choosing her on much of anything, and she knew it was mostly coincidental that she just happened to be the one with no prior commitments or huge responsibilities like the other Supreme Legendary Council members; but nevertheless she couldn't shake the feeling that her decision to take on this great and honorable task would change her life for the better and open up her mind and her heart in ways she didn't even know were possible.
She smiled despite knowing that she was essentially putting herself directly in the line of fire, despite knowing that this Omninoir who looked like her was the ultimate bad guy her father's selected champions would have to face, and answered everyone's expectant gazes as they awaited her decision. 'Yes Father Arceus, I would be honored to take on this great and noble mission; if you all would accept my decision then so mote it be I say,' Mew telepathically conveyed to all of them with absolute bliss and warmth at the very thought of being able to live this life. She knew it wouldn't be easy, even with her omnipotence, her vast godlike powers stretching infinitely beyond even her comprehension and into the realm of absurdity, but frankly she wouldn't have it any other way. The challenges would be equal to what she was capable of and an eternal life of responsibilities and grand adventures awaited her; what was there not to love about this whole situation?
Arceus send her a proud mental smile upon receiving her decision, 'any objections?' he quickly repeated, and what surprised Mew was that nobody did object. Dialga however, looked positively shaken by something as he cleared his throat to get everyone's attention, gazing at Mew in what seemed to be concern as the omnipotent feline wondered what he was looking at. 'Are we seriously NOT going to talk about what just happened with that Omninoir character?! Who the hell is he, where did he come from?! Arceus please, can somebody explain to me what is happening here because I can't foresee anything on this guy, in the past or future across infinite universes, dimensions, and realities! What's his deal Father; I think we all have a right to know,' Dialga insisted with a pleading, fearful undertone. To his surprise however Giratina answered him rather than Arceus.
'He's the reverse of our Father Dialga, an antithesis rather like the relationship between Yveltal and Xerneas over there, or even land and sea like Groudon and Kyogre; same difference, only on a infinitely grander scale, a cosmic, omniversal scale. Also guys, I've seen beings with abilities like his before,' Giratina shuddered involuntarily while explaining her piece. Palkia stared at her in incredulity, 'when would any of us have ever seen anything like that?! This guy is nuts, from what I understand of his situation he'd gladly see to the boundless elimination of totality itself without any care for the mass omnicide he just committed! With powers like his and a mindset that warped, he's the most dangerous creature our world has ever seen, possibly the most dangerous being in the omniverse itself,' Palkia exclaimed almost as fearfully as the Anti-Matter Pokemon while all the other legends listened with rapt attention.
Giratina suddenly developed a very keen interest in the floor of the Hall of Origin as Mew suddenly realized when Giratina may have seen such a creature and put two and two together. 'He's the reason you went psycho back in the primordial ages and had to be put away in the Reverse World, isn't he?!' Mew demanded, feeling suddenly very angry and vicious on Giratina's behalf as an audible series of gasps sounded from amongst the legends. Dialga and Palkia both whirled to gawk at Giratina with slacken jaws, while Celebi's mouth was open in a wide O. Mewtwo and the others merely listened with rapt attention; some of the legends who had not spoken up until now saying their piece about how Omninoir had some nerve coming here or that he was insane, or some other equally common thing to say.
Mew tuned pretty much all of them out until Arceus's voice called for silence once more, effectively ending the declarations of war against Omninoir or of Groudon refusing to admit to Kyogre that he was scared; the titan of the sea continually insisting that he was shaking like a leaf. Rayquaza merely floated above the landscape of the hall of origins looking like a total badass, Giratina reverted to her origin form and floated as well, her astral body resembling a ghost even more closely than her physical one and reminding Mew of how someone like her could've fallen prey to Omninoir's influence.
Giratina meanwhile merely nodded meekly in affirmation as all eyes fell on her and Arceus called for silence as he spoke up. Mew briefly wondered if her involvement in the universe's darkest ages was part of the reason Giratina had opted to seal away her totality bending mega evolved form and give up her own omnipotent godhood so as to never again be used as an all-powerful weapon of destruction. It made sense she supposed, why the Anti-Matter Pokemon would be so utterly terrified of what she could do in that form if someone like Omninoir were to possess her while in it; back in the olden days only she, Primal Palkia, Primal Dialga, and Arceus himself had been able to fend Giratina off during her rampages.
It was absolutely terrifying to remember, beholding Giratina in all her omnimalevolent rage; it was one of the most terrifying experiences Mew could remember in all her long life and now that she knew where this evil came from... she was mad, furious even that anyone could be so sick and twisted enough to take advantage of such a normally docile Pokemon like Giratina simply because her mega evolved form was far more wild and untamed, impossibly powerful and yet very bestial and prone to instincts. She just lost control of herself when in that omnipotent form of hers and the fact that Omninoir had taken advantage of that was unforgivable in Mew's opinion. She had a pretty good relationship with all her fellow legends and had known the Creation trio all her life; as a result she had forged a powerful bond with the three of them and despite Dialga and Palkia constantly fighting both of them somehow managed to still like her as much as they ever did, for which she was secretly very thankful. She hated to think that she could be the cause of their constant strife and the obvious tension between the two of them even now. Quickly reminding herself that Arceus was speaking, Mew redirected her attention to the Alpha Pokemon as all of the panicking legends fell silent on sheer principle while their father spoke.
'Everyone will please not panic; Omninoir is indeed the Anti-God of the Pokemon universe, and our 9 by 6 universe's representation of him is an omnicidal psychopath of the most supreme proportions, but while his ability to corrupt all others is very nearly absolute he fails to understand that life is precious, and that will be what this war is about. It'll be about whether or not he is right, and as members of the Supreme Legendary Council of our universe it is our responsibility to preserve and protect not only our universe but infinite universes, realities, and omni-dimensions across the whole of the Omega Omnisphere itself. We will all need to step up and take control because this war will truly be an infinite crisis. Not to worry though, our Chosen Ones will lead us in the war efforts, and as I said before even I will join Ash Ketchum's roster of Pokemon partners in his quest to not only stop Omninoir but also the achieve every goal he sets for himself, including becoming one of the Pokemon champions of totality itself.
My children the challenges we will face will be equal to what even the strongest of us are capable of, but Omninoir fails to understand that life is precious and that our totality is not one that needs giving up on just yet. For all his talk about death being beautiful, he fails to comprehend that life can be just as precious, just as pregnant with infinite possibilities to not only change our world for the better, but also to travel the vast expanse of the Ultra-Verse and bring all that we are to infinite other worlds as well. Life is a gift, a gift that must be shared with the rest of the world, and when every life meets another life, something new will be born.
Always remember that my children, for each and every one of us here are blessed by the UV's Omni-Creator to live in a world where all things are possible, no matter how ridiculous or absurd the notions, the Ultra-Verse allows all ideas, concepts, notions, and other fundamentals of totality to become reality. As Lady Mew so eloquently put it, existence and life itself are a game, and we must treat every obstacle we face in life as such; because like how the Omnisphere never throws more at any one person than it thinks they can handle, there are likewise solutions to every problem one faces in a game, so think of the two as one and the same, and you'll find a way to win it all in the end. That's it for now my children, I want you all to think about what we've all discussed here on this day and reflect on the value of life whether eternal or otherwise for years to come. Our enemy may or may not be ready to take us all on, but so long as we remain forever united, never shall we fall to our enemy who is truly alone in his crusade. So back to your stations my children, and be sure to fill me in on any eventful happenings across the omniverse whether good or bad; assuming of course... that I haven't already sensed said happening myself,' Arceus proclaimed with a high spirited inward smile towards the end of his statement as each and every legend seemed to accept that as their cue to leave and did so. Upon watching most of them vanish and return to their earthly bodies, Arceus was not terribly surprised to see that Mew, Celebi, Meloetta, Victini, and Jirachi remained; some of his most childlike children even if some like Mew was almost as old as he himself was.
'Father would be it alright if we stayed here with you; at least until the Chosen Ones are born so we can go see them pleassssse?' Meloetta gushed with a fond smile, the five of them clearly very fond of the prospect of human children and wanting to watch these three very fascinating children's birth. Arceus knew he couldn't refuse any of them, and when all five of them were together at once he knew it was impossible to say no. However that didn't mean he didn't have some conditions for them to follow, 'very well but stay close to me and stay invisible; last thing we need is the doctors and nurses passing out due to shock upon glimpsing us in our natural forms,' Arceus insisted, sweat dropping at the mere thought of what would happen if the five of them were all seen in one place. For starters all of the evil organizations across the world would probably congregate in that one area where the Chosen One was born and quickly work out that Serena or whoever was born at the time of his children's exposure to the world was the reason. Arceus shook his head slightly to clear it of the rather strange scenario it had envisioned and quickly reasoned out that this would be a long wait as all five of his kids started playing around with each other and making a giant mess of his precious hall. Arceus himself supposed that a game of rock-paper-scissors was in order here and quickly conjured an illusionistic double of himself with which to play; cursing his species equine form for all he was worth as he kept playing rock with his double, stupid hooves. He was God after all, so why couldn't he win such a simple game in his natural form, it just wasn't fair!

"Your cervix is currently dilated at about 8 centimeters Mrs. Ketchum, and given your current rate of dilation and how quick and painless your labor has been; I'd say the baby would be ready to come out momentarily," the doctor explained to his patient, having seen some people who had almost no pain during and even after labor but those were very few and far in between. Also the baby's natural health and other vital signs were enormously strong, stronger than any human baby should ever have the capacity to be. He had never seen anything like this, and was quite unprepared for when a brilliant dome of sheer power and impossibly brilliant light expanded out from the mother's body and encased the entire hospital. From outside he could hear people awing at the simple fact that Pokemon of all different sizes and species were gathering outside of the Viridian City hospital, coming to apparently witness this incredible birth as the dome of light seemed to welcome them all, human and Pokemon alike.
All the patients inside the dome, terminal or otherwise, found that somehow, someway; in a divine act of Arceus, all their ills had gone away and they were somehow cured of whatever afflictions had been ailing them. Terminal cancer patients were forever cured of their brain tumors, lung cancer, testicular cancer, or others and immediately felt tremendous energy surging through them; a famous member of the international police who had long since been checked in for a serious, incurable case of Amnesia and moved to countless different hospitals across the world alongside his caretaker from Hoenn, suddenly had his memories returned to him just out of the blue, and thus the infamous Looker had returned ever so abruptly in a manner that would strike fear into the hearts of criminals all throughout the world. Even people who had been checked in for injuries whether minor or life threatening, found their wounds knitting tightly shut with not so much as scar in their place, their broken bones immediately mending, their joints popping back into place in excruciating, agonizing relief, internal bleeding and bruising immediately returned to the bloodstream and broken blood vessels were immediately mended and pumping blood through the body as they should be. As if all that wasn't enough, but Delia and all the other mothers delivering babies in the hospital found that their labors and deliveries were both at a minimum level of bearable pain; much to the shock of them all since some of them had delivered babies here before and it was very painful.
All and all, every patient inside that hospital was brought back to the very peak of health and some like Looker, who had a grand destiny of his own and a future role in the Chosen Ones' destinies, would one day find he could do more than he ever could before and would gain the peak of human conditioning and retain it, along with his 25 year old body throughout all of time, eternal youth and longevity forever his to enjoy so long as the world needed a truly competent cop who would forever stand for justice, truth, law, and order. Such were his values that the dome of light would even bestow him with Pokemon once more, a partner he would grow to trust as much as the one he lost, and trouble; he'd always have trouble to follow as the globetrotting elite he always wished to be.
"Doctor this is..." the nurse beside him stammered in obvious light headedness as the doctor decided to simply concentrate on helping the mother deliver her child. "Just stay focused on the task at hand Nurse Joy," the doctor insisted, even as he heard nurses and fellow doctors shuffling outside the doors to this hospital room while Delia merely lay there awaiting the final delivery of her beautiful baby boy, a boy who was somehow causing the entire hospital to glow in a brilliant cascading dome of raw energy and unearthly power. "What is it? Can't you see I'm busy here?!" the doctor snapped as a nurse poked her head inside their room and flinched back at the sharp tone in his voice. Drawing slow, deep breaths in an effort to calm himself from all the noises going on outside and the strange light the woman whose baby he was attempting to deliver caught up to him, he immediately apologized for snapping and calmly asked her to explain what was happening to him quickly.
"Sir it's the patients, they're all walking about in their rooms in perfect health, even the terminal ones who shouldn't be able to walk have come to our desks to check themselves out; saying it was by the grace of God that they had been saved and quite frankly I'm at a loss to explain why we should continue to keep them here when all our initial scans show they are truly indeed in perfect health," the nurse stammered in a stupor as Delia and the doctor listened with rapt attention, unable to register what was happening as the doctor scratched his chin and gave a hearty chuckle, much to everyone's surprise. He then started guffawing outright, "nurse Joy tell these fine young men and women that we just need to run a few more diagnostics and then they'll be free to go; I swear this day just keeps getting stranger. I've heard of some miraculous things happening in my career and even bore witness to some of these events myself, but never on this scale. This is the most amazing thing I've ever been witness to in all my years as a doctor, and somehow I get the feeling it has something to do with this woman and the remarkable young boy she is about to deliver," the doctor prattled on as he smiled gently at Delia, who merely smiled back in return as her body started contracting and she felt her little Ash moving around inside of her; almost as if he knew the time for his arrival was imminent. This was by far the most miraculous birth she had ever heard of in all her young life, and if not for the fact that Serena's birth had taken place just three weeks before back in Kalos with her best friend Grace, Delia might not have been so prepared to accept this irrationality dictated by Arceus himself.
Not many people even knew about Arceus or if they did many didn't even believe he existed, but Delia knew that he had to have existed, given the fact that Red's own Mew was essentially omnipotent, and if one omnipotent being could truly exist then why couldn't the others. Her train of thought was interrupted by the inexplicable knowledge coming to her that the baby was ready, and that her cervical diameter was at its peak of 10 centimeters; she was prepared to mark this day down as the day her son was born even as her muscles contracted and her body went spasmodic with pain that was nullified by whatever magic her son was working throughout the entire hospital, magic that had somehow cured every ailment of every patient within said hospital.
The doctor was holding her hand encouragingly just as Red finally showed up and stood by her side right in a nick of time, looking out of breath like he had just run a marathon to get here but also looking somewhat worried which given how well the delivery was going could not be a good sign. "I'm here honey just like I promised; now take hold of my hand and squeeze as hard as you can, you can do it Delia we're all with you in spirit," Red promised her, a mirage of her father Drake of the Hoenn elite four, Richard and Grace Yvonne, and all of her and Red's Pokemon all manifesting and disappearing like ghosts due to Red's insane amounts of spiritual energy connecting all of them on a quintessential level.
Delia knew the doctor and the nurse couldn't see this but she also knew it was real as she felt all of her friends and family, all of her loved ones projecting their positive feelings of encouragement and support to her as Ash finally sprang forth into the world and the doctor and nurse made haste to cut the umbilical cord and get him cleaned up. Red sighed in relief as he sat down in the seat at Delia's immediate left, the baby now tucked safely in her arms as she giggled and cooed at how adorable he looked; a perfectly healthy baby boy; 9 pounds and 6 ounces, born on July the 13th at 9:06 AM, with a mop of raven colored hair and impossibly golden amber eyes, eyes that almost appeared molten in appearance and which shone with awe, wonderment, and uncanny intelligence as he took in all the new and amazing sights around him.
"It's amazing Red, how I can look upon him now and realize so suddenly that he's my whole world. He's so beautiful, I absolutely adore and cherish him," Delia whispered with such fondness and reverence that Red almost felt tempted to joke about how she should marry him instead of her own husband, but wisely held his tongue. Besides given the circumstances that surrounded his late arrival here, Red was in absolutely no mood to joke around, because this birth was no laughing matter as he only just learned moments ago. Thinking back to his forced meeting with the God of Pokemon, Red knew the news he would have to share with his wife would not be the kind of news she would want to hear.

A few minutes before Red arrived outside the hospital
Displacing the omniverse in order to teleport over an infinite distance in an instant was no easy feat, and sometimes when Red and Mew did this he felt naked, exposed, and like another omnipotent being could just snap their fingers and redirect the two of them while they were in their... in between state he supposed he could call it. Ironically enough, that was exactly what happened; for instead of appearing in the middle of the Viridian forest and out of sight where he could return his Mew safely and walk the rest of the way, Arceus had seen fit to summon the two of them straight to his Hall of Origins like the meddling master manipulator he seemed to be at this point.
His Mew seemed less surprised than he was as they both gazed upon the unfamiliar, otherworldly settings of the vast hall of white, with no roof and instead a white space expanding into infinity, and walls adorned with various paintings depicting legendary Pokemon from ancient times. Now Red was a man of unlimited means and one of the most powerful Pokemon masters ever to walk the earth, and given his top tier position in the Worldly Pokemon League Association he was one of the few humans whom the original legendary Pokemon of the universe had any contact with whatsoever, but he was still surprised to find himself here... in this white and infinite space that only the likes of his Mew or psycho-omnipotent Mewtwo should have been able to forcibly bring them to.
'Welcome young Pokemon Master, we have been expecting you for some time. I would've simply called for you telepathically but your mind is rather resistant against telepathic shouts so I guess I just seized the moment when the two of you were displacing the Omniverse and saw fit to redirect your teleportation to here. I'm sorry for the abruptness but rest assured that the flow of time is different here than in your world. You can spend eternity here and not a day would pass you by out there; here we exist outside the whole of creation, time, space, duality, causation, even the very fabric of nothingness and the Omega Omnisphere itself. So worry not about missing your young son's birth, I merely wish to talk to you,' an all-powerful godly voice echoed throughout the landscape of Red's entire being as a white, equine being materialized before him and his Mew in a flash of brilliant golden light. Red could feel the Original Powers coming off of this thing in droves, and immediately knew whom he was speaking to as his most powerful Pokemon immediately bowed before the 10 foot horse.
'Lord Arceus, you honor us with your presence,' his Mew telepathed as Red grunted, glad at least to know he wouldn't be late for his son's birth but wondering why Arceus had chosen to summon him here now of all times. "Not that I'm not honored as well, and I appreciate that your realm is out of sync with all of time in my world, but I really don't want to tempt fate and super tardiness is one of my super powers I swear," Red prattled on, losing track somewhat as Arceus smiled and nodded and decided that for the sake of this remarkable young man's impatience he'd keep it as brief as possible.
"Very well, you look like you are a very busy man Fredrick Ketchum, and a man of your unlimited means is not to be messed with I'm sure. I'm here to tell you however, that your world is in danger and specifically your family, namely you son," Arceus started, cringing as the look on the human's face became thunderous upon processing this information. "And what pray tell is attempting to endanger my family?! One of your own lot I take it?!" Red demanded rather rudely, having zero time for patience and for pleasantries upon realizing that the God of Pokemon was implicating a possible threat to his family.
Arceus sighed, this had been about the kind of reaction he was expecting and it did not always please him to be right, unfortunately due to the nature of his infinite mindscape he was very rarely wrong. 'Unfortunately yes, he could be classified as a legendary Pokemon I suppose, though the answer to your question is a bit more complicated than that. He's my literal antithesis, with untold billions of years of experience behind his own omnipotent existence that I doubt even you and your Pokemon with all of your gifts could stand up to alone. Unfortunately that does seem to include you Red's Mew, you see Omninoir is an omnicidal psychopath bent on boundlessly eliminating all things in totality and plunging upon the completely unknown. I know this to be true sadly, I heard it from his own mouth,' Arceus stated swiftly, knowing that Red would more than likely be able to keep up due to the level of intelligence the Ketchum bloodline was known to possess.
Red took a moment to register all of this but simply nodded sadly as he realized his own son was in danger, and he couldn't do anything about it according to Arceus whom he could sense had already fully gauged his and his Pokemon's limitless strengths and weaknesses in the amount of time they had been here and weighed it against this Omninoir's own. Apparently whatever kinds of powers he and his Pokemon possessed, this evil Pokemon's were better. He wanted to believe that Arceus could be wrong, that he could protect his son and fight this great evil on his own; but he also wanted to be absolutely certain that his little boy would be safe. As if sensing his fear, Arceus quickly hastened to reassure him.
'Worry not Red, your son will have strength and abilities far beyond imagining. In time he will become the first human to be endowed with omnipotent godhood in our entire universe; for he is the Chosen One, and he will bring great change to the world,' Arceus promised him as Red and Mew both gaped, the Pokemon Master's unbreakable telepathic connection to all his other Pokemon ensuring that they got this startling news as well. Now he finally understood why Ash had such a naturally infinitely strong aura, now he understood the strange domes of light and the otherworldly energies he could sense engulfing the infinitely distant hospital even now from up here in the Hall of Origin. It was both an honor and a privilege that Arceus had chosen his son Ash to be his Champion, a being who according to the legends of old would accomplish boundless wonders and unlimited miracles far beyond anything anyone before him had achieved, world champions included. It was an old legend, one his ancient Mew had relayed to him upon hearing it from the first of his kind, the mysterious blue Mew whom his own had crushed on right from day one but whom had never returned his feelings or anyone else's for that matter.
"Arceus, this is an honor and I want to believe that Ash is able to take care of himself... but, isn't there more you can do to keep him safe if even I'm not enough?" Red calmly asked, trying to still his racing heart as Arceus smiled and nodded. 'Yes, I already have contingencies in place to keep the boy safe when and if you and your lovely wife are unable to watch over him. I told you this not to put the fear of the Anti-God into you, but to put you on your guard Red. I understand you are busy with your duties as the world champion and have placed the protection of your son, my Chosen Champion, with someone who can better protect him than any human could ever hope to. Not to question your ability to keep your son safe; and not to tell you how to do your job, but can I give you some advice mister Ketchum?' Arceus inquired gently, knowing that what he was about to suggest would most likely turn this would-be father's world upside down and inside out.
"What is it?" Red nearly demanded, trying to steady his breathing as Arceus sighed morosely and continued. 'Ash's freedom to live the life he chooses is going to be far more important than his safety; because if you and Delia can't rein in your desire to shelter him from the world he'll never become the hero needed to save it, and besides if you rob him of the chance to live due to some misplaced sense of over-protectiveness then you're only succeeding where Omninoir may hopefully one day fail. Remember this alright, and for Delia's sake I do hope you will keep this information between us; at least for the time being, but again that decision is ultimately yours to,' Arceus advised him sagely. Red inhaled and exhaled deeply, trying to make sense of everything that had gone to shit in such a short amount of time. This was all too much for him to deal with properly right now, and he still had his duties as the world champion to attend to.
Thinking about his duties got him thinking about how he thought he wasn't even truly ready to be a father yet; about how he had been on the road so long and fought so many battles that it was difficult for him to just come home and do the simple things every day. He knew in his heart of hearts that even if he stayed with Delia and with Ash his heart would long to return to the field, to the world of Pokemon battles and to his mantle as the champion of that entire world. That yearning would eventually drive him to get up and leave sometime in the middle of the night, and his only son and his wife would probably never fully understand; at least Delia never would though he had the feeling if his son Ash was anything like him then once he got started on his journey then he'd have to keep on moving.
"This is a lot to process Lord Arceus, I think I need some time with my son out there in the real world before I decide ultimately what it is I wish to do," Red finally concluded as Arceus nodded understandingly and flashed him a telepathic and reassuring smiley face as a blinding flash of white light engulfed Red and Mew, the two of them displaced the omniverse once more to reappear where they had originally intended, with not even a minute having gone by since they first departed for the hospital. Red's head was still spinning even as he hastily returned his Mew and sprinted for the Viridian City hospital as fast as was humanly feasible. He couldn't believe that in such a small instant, his whole world would come crashing down or that his family would be the number one target of an omnicidal psychopath bent on omniversal destruction. This was just too much, even for him, and as Arceus himself was probably thinking there was no way he could say any of this to Delia. Her over protective motherly instincts at that revelation would most definitely make her unreasonable where Ash's safety was concerned, and if Arceus was right than his son's destiny was riding on the prospect of him living a good life to its fullest.

"Aw look at him, he's so cute," 5 year old Daisy Oak gushed fondly while she, professor Oak, and Daisy's mother Andromeda visited Delia in the hospital, alongside the five week old baby Gary and even Blue Oak himself had come to see her. Delia was currently letting Daisy hold her son and made certain the little girl was as careful as could be; she was quite pleasantly surprised however when the five year old elicited a coo from the baby Ash and played with him as fondly as any mother could.
Oak's eyes were filled to the rim with questions regarding the strange happenings surrounding Ash's birth, and Delia could sense he was just barely holding his insatiable curiosity in check as she and Red locked eyes and she saw for the first time that he seemed to be carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. He looked tired, defeated, and like he could use a very good night sleep; something which contradicted his usual unlimited energy and endless optimism, something which Delia realized was cause for concern and that she would need to discuss with her husband at a later point, but for right now she was too happy with how her child had turned out to let anything rain on her parade and at least Red smiled when somebody directed a question at him.
"So mister world Champ, how's your mantle been treating you my boy? Honestly Red, speaking from experience here I can honestly say the lack of suitable challenges to the throne of the world champion is going to catch up to you sooner or later, and you'll long to return to the road to battle with other trainers on the field," Oak rattled off his own experiences as the world champion as Red nodded and listened with a faraway look in his eyes, one only Delia seemed to have caught as she wondered if he truly wished to be a father. No that was ridiculous, given how happy and excited he had been before Ash's birth; something else must have happened, maybe Red was weighing his options more meticulously now that Ash was finally born and realized he'd have to balance between his role as a father and his duty to the world as its Pokemon League Champion. She knew that a lot of the Pokemon league champions tended to take their work home with them and managed to balance between their Pokemon battling careers and their family lives just fine; unfortunately her husband was the World Champion, a Pokemon Master among Pokemon Masters and he would always have many mighty tasks that would occupy his time. Delia fully understood this and would also understand if Red wouldn't always have the time to be there for her and their newly born child. She was quite unprepared however, when her husband answered Oak and interrupted her musing.
"Honestly professor I've been thinking about getting back on the road a lot recently. In light of recent events that have been brought to my attention; I've realized that me and my Pokemon are not as invincible or as fundamentally unbeatable as I would like to believe and that's scary to contemplate. Imagine how it must feel believing you're the most powerful man in the universe one day then merely the puppet of a far greater power the next, it is both a humbling and terrifying realization," Red admitted woefully, locking eyes with Delia and pleading with her to understand that they would talk about this more afterward but that he needed to let her know in no uncertain terms that he couldn't necessarily protect their son from any and all things.
Oak, being ever so oblivious to this exchange between husband and wife, quickly plucked the sleeping Ash's form out of his granddaughter's arms and handed him back to Delia, the little girl pouting cutely upon having the little boy taken from her in such an abrupt manner. "Well my boy that's the way life works, no matter how powerful we think we are we are not truly invincible now are we? In the grand scheme of things there is always going to be someone who is better; I always thought myself unbeatable to, but then you and dear Benjamin here came along and suddenly I was out of the job as a Pokemon League World Champion. It is very humbling indeed that in the endless hierarchy of aspiring Pokemon Masters throughout the world past and future alike, we are almost never truly at its peak. Becoming number one at anything in the world may seem like an absurd goal Red, but so long as we Pokemon trainers and researchers shall live, we shall continue to gorge ourselves on the ultimate cuisine, and engage in desperate battle for all of time until we can no longer physically stand it. Such is the way of the trainer Red, and we both know this better than most," Oak stated in a well thought out speech as Red and everyone else smiled at his proclamation. Benjamin AKA Blue snorted as his grandfather in response to his statement.
"You keep forgetting that my name is Blue Gramps... whatever guys, I've got places to be so I'll smell you all later; make sure you stay in top form Red or I might just breeze past you one of these day, oh and Delia, congratulations on the baby," Blue grunted with a soft tone in his voice as he spoke to Delia while snipping at everybody else. Delia nodded and thanked him with a smile as her baby Ash fell fast asleep in her arms and the doctor knocked on the door before tentatively informing them that visiting hours were over and the mother and her child would be staying overnight before they were to be discharged the next morning. Delia smiled at this and accepted a deep, sensual kiss from her husband as he whispered quickly in her ear before being the last to depart. "We seriously need to talk honey, something really big just came up last minute and I'd be foolish if I didn't discuss it with you, but until tomorrow you just sleep well alright, I'm sorry if I'm not acting like myself but hopefully tomorrow you'll understand why," Red whispered in her ear before capturing her lips in another searing hot kiss and filing through the door with the rest of them. Delia whispered sweet nothings in Ash's ear and promised to see him again first thing tomorrow as the doctor gently took him from her arms to be laid ever so neatly in the nursery. He was so well behaved and didn't even cry or fuss when the doctor took him from her, merely staring curiously at her with those impossibly golden eyes of his. She thought she wouldn't be able to fall asleep after Red's cryptic parting statement to her about whatever had come up. As soon as her head hit the pillow however, she was out like a light, not even realizing that in the nursery hall over on the other side of the hospital, baby Ash was not as alone as she might have expected.

'Aw, he's so freaking adorable I can't stand it,' Mew cooed while floating above the nursery's hospital cribs completely invisible and refracting any and all forms of light. Arceus was floating above them near the roof as Mew, Victini, Celebi, Meloetta, Jirachi, and surprisingly Mesprit, who had joined up with them last minute, all took turns looking closely at Ash; amazed that someone destined to wield so much power and responsibility could start off as so sweet and innocent.
'Be very quiet my children, this boy may seem perfectly normal but within him is the powers of an omnipotent god and if we're too loud we might actually end up waking him,' Arceus informed them gently as Mesprit and the others nodded in understanding. 'Aw he's like the sweetest thing I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of things throughout the omni-temporal continuum so that's saying something,' Celebi swooned as her lightly buzzing wings fluttered just above Ash's crib, creating a light breeze that slightly ruffled the baby's crib and caused it to gently sway as the time traveling Pokemon rocked the cradle.
All of the Pokemon present said their piece about how cute he was or how he was destined to wield so much power, all that usual stuff as Arceus supervised them all late at night long after visiting hours; Mew however took one look at that sweet, innocent little baby and knew that her life was changed forever. He bore the same exact z-shaped scars as the human teenager from her vision; the one she was kissing sensually and as if her whole life, her entire universe revolved around him. As if sensing Mew's thoughts Mesprit voiced the question that all of them were thinking about.
'Father, why are there those strange markings on his cheeks?' she inquired with a seemingly infinite abundance of curiosity. Arceus considered his answer as his children continued to fawn over the baby who would one day become one of the champions of the Omega Omnisphere itself, which was the largest thing forever conceptualized or imagined by any and all minds. 'The answer to that question varies from universe to universe my sweet daughter Mesprit; sometimes they're just birth marks, other times they're scars he acquired at a young age either by some traumatic experience or something minor like a Pokemon scratching him. In the Omniverse's collective omni-dimensional continuum the explanation for these markings are seemingly infinitely variant, in our universe though these markings have a purpose for being there,' Arceus paused a moment to let this sink in as Mew turned her attention away from the baby Ash to gaze at her father in perplexity.
'Which is,' she queried telepathically, and Arceus sent her a kind mental smile in return. 'Ash's cheeks are marked in the form of a letter Z, why do you think that is? As a future champion of the Omega Omnisphere itself and one of totality's greatest heroes; Ash has been endowed with the very markings of Zeneptron himself,' Arceus answered as everyone, Celebi and all the others shared a sharp intake of breath upon hearing the very name of the Source Anti-God himself.
'Why in the bloody hell would the mark of the Omniarch of Anti-Gods manifest on Ash's cheeks?! Isn't that a sign of the Supreme Evil?! Correct me if I'm wrong father but Zeneptron was the almighty ruler of the infinite pantheon of Anti-Gods, Demonic Gods, Fallen Angelic Gods, Omniversal Death Gods, Omni-Dimensional Chaos Lords, and every other all-powerful force of destruction, darkness, and evil throughout the Omnisphere, wasn't he?!' Mew exclaimed worryingly, wondering if Ash's destiny was somehow tied to this Supreme Force, this ultimate pinnacle of all things evil that even other Anti-Gods like Omninoir himself held in the highest esteem. She prayed to the UV's Omni-Creator that she was somehow wrong about this, but to her surprise Arceus sent her and her sisters a reassuring telepathic nudge.
'Yes my dear children it is true that Zeneptron's true nature is that of the Source Anti-God and the ruler of the endless hierarchy of omnipotent evils throughout the Omnisphere, but you mustn't forget that he was also the omni-creator of the original Omnisphere concept and was He who brought the Omnisphere concept to reality via the powers of the Source Realm. Ash represents this side of him, not the omnimalevolent side that only saw the Omnisphere as his own personal stomping ground,' Arceus said in a placating manner, trying to reassure them though some of his daughters were still skeptical. Mew couldn't help the shudder that wracked her entire body as she thought of what might happen if Ash himself became some sort of an Anti-God himself. She knew better than a lot of beings that there was some merits to the whole idea that absolute power corrupted absolutely. But then she saw him smile down in his crib as he slept the night away without a care in the world, and she couldn't bring herself to believe that he could ever have any sort of connection with the very Omniarch of Evil that brought the Omnisphere concept to life for no other reason than to turn it into his own personal stomping ground; where his deepest and darkest desires and wildest, most perverted fantasies were all possible with but the briefest of thoughts.
'How could someone so high up the food chain as Zeneptron, with all his influence and his ties to the source of the Omnisphere itself, just disappear I wonder?' Victini remarked as Mesprit and the others turned to Arceus for some sort of confirmation while the Alpha Pokemon grinned mystically at them. 'The tale of Zeneptron's fall from eternal grace as the Omnisphere's creator is the sort of myth that inspired the creation of the Ultra-Verse itself and many others; but now is not the time to tell it my children. In time the legacy of Totality's Mightiest Heroes will herald the dawning of a new age of infinite power, and their names will resound throughout the Omnisphere, but that is not for me or anyone else in the Ultra-Verse to divulge. Let the author whom writes fanfiction stories based on our worlds figure out how to tell that story in a way the mortals will understand, but for now I don't want to give away any spoilers. I guess I'll finish this anecdote by saying the tale of Zeneptron's mythical defeat is another story for another time,' Arceus said mysteriously.
Mew and the others were fascinated by what little Arceus had divulged even if he hadn't revealed much of anything useful. He was right though; this was about Ash and his alleged connection to the creator of the Omnisphere himself, not about how said creator fell from grace at some point in his reign of infinite, omni-dimensional terror. Despite whatever may have happened to Zeneptron she was glad that Ash represented the part of his legacy that lead to the creation of totality itself and was destined to become one of the omni-dimensional heroes and deities who would one day save the Ultra-Verse from the omnicidal psychopath she and the other Supreme Legendary Council members bore witness to three months prior.
'I think we should take our leave soon my children,' Arceus started, getting ready to escort them out of the hospital as a strange but fascinating idea came to Mew just out of nowhere. 'Hey wait a minute lord Arceus, why don't we commemorate this occasion by bestowing onto our Chosen One certain gifts for gracing us with his presence for the first time,' she suggested hopefully as Celebi and all the others grew giddy at this idea while Arceus took a moment to contemplate his eldest daughter's intriguing idea.
'Not a bad idea, to be honest Lady Mew I was thinking of manifesting some of Ash's latent omnipotence as a chance to sort of ease him into the role he'll one day play but I've been torn between that and letting him lead a perfectly normal life up until a certain point. It would seem however Lady Mew that you have been full of surprises these past months,' Arceus complimented, causing the supremely deified feline to blush over her whole body at the praise while all of the other legendary Pokemon immediately warmed to the idea as Mesprit decided to go first.
Once Arceus warned them to keep the light shows to a minimum Mesprit spoke in a soothing telepathic voice that tickled at the boy's subconscious and manifested certain traits, certain abilities he already had within him, only a bit earlier than the universe intended for one of the Omega Omnisphere's future champs. 'Chosen One Ash Ketchum, please accept my humble gift in the form of your now manifested connection to the Omniversal Emotional Spectrum. I hereby endow you with a capacity for love, hope, optimism, and bliss infinitely exceeding that of any mortal man. The level of love you will harbor for your future soul mates will intensify and grow by infinite leaps and bounds, strengthening the love and passion between all of you to absolute levels bringing the three of you to the ultimate form of ecstasy and the highest level of passion one can attain in the Omega Omnisphere. Any romantic interaction between you and your bond mates will be the ultimate experience, the omnipotent form of ecstasy that only godlike beings can ever truly experience and that only boundlessly conditioned bodies can handle. Please accept my gift for all the years of your life and cherish the passion and the love your soul mates will bring into your life forever more; this is my judgement, and so mote it be,' Mesprit telepathically soothed the sleeping baby who was dead to the world as a boundlessly brilliant flash of pink that no mortal eye could glimpse enveloped the newborn Ash, the baby cooing in delight in his sleep as he was encased in a dome of sheer power and almighty ecstasy.
Mesprit floated backwards upon awakening the child's connection to all the positive emotions across the Omnisphere's entire ambient and collective spiritual and positive energy. Mesprit knew that this was the greatest gift she or anyone else could have given him; love was the most all-powerful fundamental force she knew of and she also knew that even the mightiest gods could be brought to their knees by it. Love was strong enough that even an omnipotent being could find him or herself wrapped completely around the finger of the one they loved, the one being in all the omniverse who had complete, absolute power over said deity and who was paradoxically, the deity's one true weakness and yet the source of his/her greatest strength. Case and point Mesprit knew she had just given Ash the ability to love someone so completely, so absolutely that they'd always hold his heart in their hands even when he possessed unlimited means with which to rewrite and control the Omega Omnisphere. She didn't like to presume but she thought this gift was pretty good, and wondered to herself if her fellow gift givers could top it.
Celebi clapped her on the back very sportingly, and sighed in obvious frustration as she tried to think of a suitable gift for the future Champion of Arceus, wondering what she could give him that he wouldn't one day possess the power to obtain for himself. Thus she was faced with the imponderable conundrum of what to get for the man who would have everything? Finally after wracking her infinite mindscape to find a suitable gift for what felt like eternity Celebi thought of something that she felt was semi decent and within her capabilities. 'Chosen One Ash, please accept my humble gift in the form of precious moment preservation and the ability to relieve all of your most positive, loving, and euphoria inducing moments and memories as if you were experiencing them all over again. On top of that you'll also have the ability to preserve these moments you relive for all eternity in a special chrono-locked chamber that you shall discover in your own time. Speaking of time, this chrono-locked chamber filled with precious memories is completely out of sync with not only the omni-temporal continuum of the Omniverse but also omni-locked outside of everything else as well, and is therefore totally inaccessible to anybody but you or anybody who is given your permission to enter its sacred boundaries, plus you can only give this permission of your own free will and will not be able to do so under any form of duress.
This chamber is within your own infinite mindscape and will allow you to view these precious memories as a third-person perspective as well as relive them all over again, instantly transporting you to that moment and allowing you to re-experience your most treasured memories all over again, as if you would never have remembered them if not for said chamber. Please accept my gift so that you can always cherish life's most precious moments for all eternity if you so desire; so that you'll always be reminded of the good times and never forget how to be good yourself. This is my judgement, and so mote it be,' Celebi said, explaining the properties of her gift very in depth as the omniverse tightened around Ash's infant form in response to her words; sealing the deal as a flash of brilliant green light flooded the room and dissipated the moment it enveloped Ash, his body absorbing the omni-dimensional temporal energy like a sponge sucking up an endless amount of water.
With two very personal and amazing gifts now bestowed onto the Chosen One, Arceus couldn't help but feel awed and touched at the length his daughters were going to in order to make their gifts truly meaningful. He actually found himself wondering if Ash had been deified without any premature exposure to these aspects of his omnipotent existence; would he have taken his infinite emotional capacity and the ability to relieve his very best memories and other such applications of his supreme power for granted? His reverie was interrupted by Jirachi floating closer to the sleeping baby who still somehow managed to remain oblivious to all the brilliant flashes of light; truly dead to the world as any natural baby would be, but nothing about this child was natural and Arceus could feel the effects of his daughters' gifts setting in already even as he wondered what Jirachi would give him.
Apparently his daughters were interested in the potential answer to this question as well and why wouldn't they be? Jirachi had unlimited wish granting powers and could bring anyone's deepest desires, most intimate fantasies, wildest dreams, and their most absurd wishes to life no matter how impossible or death defying or how much the Omnisphere's mightiest beings may have despised her abilities. Only an omnipotent being had the slightest hope of overriding any of Jirachi's wishes when they were granted and she could even bestow anyone with anything, any super power including omnipotence itself. One might wonder whether a level infinity Jirachi such as herself was in fact actually omnipotent, and they wouldn't be entirely wrong for this could be considered a form, a variant of omnipotence in a way. The main difference was that her power required a wish as a sort of basis, a foundation for the limitless wish granting powers she possessed to actually work, but who in the Omega Omnisphere didn't have an infinite abundance of wishes, things they wished were different about their lives or those of their families, even people they wanted dead or brought back from the dead. Such things were easily within a level infinity Jirachi's powers, unrestricted omni-slaying and even unlimited resurrection were just two possible applications.
Jirachi seemed to consider long and hard much like Celebi did, knowing it would be hard to grant a wish based on what Ash would want since he was only a baby and didn't know much of anything about life or what he wanted out of it; so she had to work out what it was she herself wished for him to have, something he could make genuine use of. Like Celebi before her Jirachi just wasn't certain to give this remarkable boy sleeping beneath their floating invisible selves. He possessed within him the unlimited powers of an almighty deified being; he already had the infinite means to achieve every goal he set for himself and to attain everything he could ever desire within him. What could she possibly give him that would leave a lasting impression and would be something he would probably take for granted if bestowed with the full scope of his abilities, and without any premature exposure to any applications he could grow to love having? She wracked her brains trying to find the answer to this very question and finally an idea began to form within the endless recesses of her own mind.
'Ash Ketchum, please accept my humble gift in the form of a subtle variation of unrestricted wish granting powers. When you make friends with people or even just acquaint yourself with someone you don't know very well; this power will manifest in such a way where these friends, family, and even lovers will have the desire to make their dreams come true fester within them, and then proceed to slowly but surely allow them to achieve every goal they aspire towards, every dream and deepest desire within the wells of their heart. When people are around you they'll feel naturally inclined to follow their dreams no matter what and no matter how absurd those dreams are in the eyes of men; your power will not grant them their heart's deepest desire right away but instead discretely endow them with the absolute focus and commitment, the dedication, determination, and everything they will ever need to make their dreams a reality so long as they have the drive to aspire towards something. This is the nature of your unlimited wish granting power; this is my judgement, and so mote it be,' Jirachi stated with confidence as the very Heart of the Omega Omnisphere seemingly pulsed around them and beat in response to her limitless power and ability to rewrite the laws of totality, and there was no glow, no fireworks, no light show; Jirachi simply spoke her words and her power made it so as Ash's body gave off a quiet vibe of pure, unlimited power. Within him now was the supreme force to make his lovers, friends, and allies' deepest desires and most hard to attain goals and dreams come true, even bestowing them with the absolute focus and commitment to do so if they lacked the will to achieve it themselves.
Arceus had to admit he was impressed by this subtle variation of Jirachi's abilities and gave her full marks for that one as Jirachi passed the metaphorical torch over to Meloetta, who looked extremely excited and like she already a very clear idea of what she was going to give him. Arceus smiled at her enthusiasm, even as he said, 'try not to get too carried away with your gifts my daughters; we want to ease the Chosen One into his future role not bestow his full power unto him outright,' he reminded them as Meloetta nodded in affirmation as Jirachi, Celebi, and Mesprit all made room for her to get up close to the newborn child. It was already well past 3 in the morning and he was still sleeping as soundly as ever, not a single peep, a cry, or a fuss to indicate that he was bothered by their intrusion whatsoever. Meloetta could sense immediately that this child could grow up to be a very talented and respectable trainer; perhaps even one who could earn her allegiance one day if he stayed true to the wholesome values his mother would no doubt instill upon him.
'Oh Chosen One, please accept my humble offer of the power of music enhanced to unlimited levels. You will possess the power of music manipulation and any and all music-based super powers enhanced to absolute levels, including an infinite skill level at playing any and all musical instruments whether of human design, Pokemon design, or other more alien designs across totality. You will be able to manipulate all the different aspects of the omniversal emotional spectrum via your music, induce pure happiness and love in even the most battle hardened warring adversaries, calm even the most immeasurably enraged and beserker state beings across the whole of creation with just the power of song, and achieve an unlimited number of other unlimited affects all through the power of your own flawless singing voice and through any type of instrument no matter how seemingly unremarkable.
You will also possess a flawless natural rhythm to any and all songs, tunes, and beats, as well as being able to pass on that flawless rhythm to your Pokemon during their training thus allowing them to adapt to any and all opposing attacks. You will also possess the power to sing your songs in the holy voice of an all-powerful Angelic Deity or even in the Word of God itself, giving you unlimited power to reshape and manipulate all of totality with the power of music. You will possess omni-tone abilities and be able to speak, shout, scream, sing, or otherwise make any kind of noise or humming sound in any and all pitches and volumes, any frequency, and even vibrate your own body at any and all frequencies in totality including the types of frequencies that stretch into the realm of complete absurdity. Such is your vibration and phasing powers that you'll be able to vibrate at the invariant speed of the Omega Omnisphere itself and phase out of sync with totality as a whole. You may possess this power at any time there is music being played that you can hear, either by you or by anyone else, you cannot activate this power on command and only when you are dancing to a rhythmic tune or in earshot of any form of song or music. This is my judgement, and so mote it be Chosen One,' Meloetta giggled giddily, planting a sweet kiss on the baby's forehead and causing him to stir slightly as an almighty choir of the Omnisphere's pantheon of angelic gods and an omni-dimensional symphony of all the Omnisphere's collected musical masterpieces sounded in their heads and Ash's in a superimposed manner that should have sounded horrendous and blended every sound, tune, tone, and form of song and music into one gigantic mess but still somehow sounded amazing.
Every song of every genre, every music-based power, every form of music manipulation, and even divine forms of music, songs of omni-creation and infinite destruction, choirs of almighty angelic and celestial beings that carried with them unspeakable levels of power to achieve any boundless feat, and even the Voice of the Omnisphere's Omni-Creator all blending together and bestowing their limitless power unto Ash forever more, so that he may always appreciate the sheer beauty and limitless power of music throughout the entirety of existence. Arceus sweat dropped at Meloetta's over the top and arguably omnipotent ability bestowal and thought it best to bring this to her attention. Before he could however she overshot him, having evidently sensed where his thoughts were heading as he stopped pre-tirade.
'Father relax and just loosen up a bit; I made it clear that Ash could only activate this power when in earshot of a song or when singing one himself, or when playing his own melodious tune on any form of instrument. To be honest I'm not even sure he'll like music all that much; besides he won't be likely to fully comprehend the full scope of this ability unless he truly feels compelled to explore its hidden subtleties. I just felt it would help him appreciate the unlimited beauty and power of music if he had the ability to achieve unlimited miracles anytime any song of any kind was being played by anyone in his presence, himself included,' Meloetta explained as Arceus relented that she had a point. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad letting Ash have such a powerful ability if it increased his passion for a rather common hobby that he would have taken for granted otherwise; nevertheless he would be keeping an eye on Ash anytime he used this power and would alter its properties slightly if his Chosen Champion became too irresponsible with the ability.
Victini suddenly grew excited as all eyes fell expectantly on her and she began flying superfast circles around the hospital nursery in her excitement. 'Yay, my turn, my turn, okay, okay um, Chosen One; please accept my humble gift in the form of unlimited energy and inexhaustibility during the day. During the hours you spend awake you will always find the energy you need and the absolute tirelessness to get the most out of every single day and devote yourself to completing every task you see fit, until such a time where you deem yourself ready for bed during which your body will power down and go into sleep mode; restoring your unlimited energy to achieve all you wish to achieve and to get the most out of your next day.
The amount of time needed to restore your energy each and every night will be approximately four hours, meaning that you'll require no more than four hours sleep every night and will be able to do all anyone can do with the remaining 20 hours of the day. Also despite your physical tirelessness you will still feel hunger and still be able to starve, thus your body will still require sustenance when there are meals provided; meaning you get the most out of your human life and will be able to experience the joys of being full and of being able to get full when hungry. This is my judgement, and so mote it be,' Victini declared as an unlimited surge of pure, unlimited, inexhaustible energy and stamina poured into every cell in the boy's body and remained dormant until his four hour sleep cycle was up.
Arceus and Mew couldn't help smiling as the eternally ADHD Victini continued dancing about in midair, once again proving how generous she was at sharing the infinite energy and power she created. As Arceus locked eyes with his daughter he knew that both of them were thinking the same thing as he telepathically spoke. 'Alright Mew, since you were the one who suggested this bestowal of gifts upon Ash Ketchum, you may have the pleasure of going last if you wish. If not I'd be happy to do so instead,' Arceus reassured her as Mew smiled up at his gigantic form, feeling positively diminutive in comparison as she always did next to many legends in their natural form.
'I'd like to go last if that is okay Lord Arceus,' Mew said hopefully as Arceus nodded. He began grinning inwardly at his earlier reprimanding of Meloetta's bestowal of a potentially omnipotent ability upon realizing he wasn't truly serious about scolding her. 'My Chosen Champion, and future champion of the Omega Omnisphere itself, I Arceus of the 9 by 6 Pokemon universe, representative of the UV's Omni-Creator and hopefully one day one of your leading Pokemon partners, hereby in all my omnipotence and supreme godhood, hereby bestow you with two gifts. The first is the ability to connect with hearts of any and all Pokemon within your immediate vicinity; syncing with them instantly on an emotional level and able to telepathically follow their every thought and feeling, even know what their deepest desires are.
This ability will extend to humans as well; though only with the ones whom your own soul will resonate with; Serena Yvonne and Amber Valentino, your soul mates will be almost as easy for you to read as you read the palm of your own hand. Now for your second ability, I hereby awaken your unlimited powers of the mind and your infinite mindscape; thus bestowing you with full psycho-omnipotence and allowing you to attain omnipotent mastery over omni-kinetic forces throughout the Omnisphere, even omni-mystokinetic energies this giving you absolute magical powers and omni-magical manipulation. With the proper training you can omni-lock your mindscape and make it absolutely impenetrable to any and all forms of intrusion, and as a result of your awakened limitless psychic potential you will possess absolute intellect, nigh omniscience, infinite perception of totality and nearly everything in it, absolute omni-kinesis and omni-kinetic manipulation, the will of God, and every psionic power enhanced to absolute levels.
These more advanced powers will of course require immense training on your part to fully tap into and understand the full complexities of. By the supreme power invested by me, I hereby lay down my judgement upon you in the form of these two gifts, and so mote it be,' Arceus commanded with all the authority of an Omniarch as the thrum of the original powers pulsed throughout the entire hospital and a golden light cascaded over the son of Delia with a boundless brilliance that was invisible to the mortal eye. Ash tossed and turned in his sleep upon having such power bestowed upon him at such a tender age; the infant growing restless and fitful in his slumber as Victini's gift of infinite energy ensured he was always up in four hours. Mew could sense he was close to waking as it all came down to her to find a gift or two for Ash. Meloetta meanwhile, quirked an eyebrow at Arceus who merely sent her a sheepish mental smile; the both of them coming to silent agreement to let bygones be bygones.
Mew took longer than all the rest of them combined to think of decent gifts for her charge, the one she would serve and protect as an all-powerful guardian angel. Looking down at his restlessly sleeping, twitching form, his tiny head of jet black hair, and the mark of Zeneptron on both his cheeks, she finally had an idea of the life she had been missing and the possible merits it could have. Immediately her maternal instincts kicked in infinite fold, encasing her in an almighty, unshakable desire to protect this child at all costs, even at the cost of her own life. Looking down upon him now, she wondered to herself how she could have lived so long without having something as important as this task of hers, someone to watch over and protect; someone who depended on her for everything at this delicate, early stage of his life. She knew she wasn't his mother and God only knew what he would become to her in the future as he grew up, but right now Mew could not have been happier to have been chosen as his protector.
'Oh, future champion of the Omega Omnisphere, I am Lady Mew, nice to meet you little one. Please allow me the distinct honor of bestowing to you two gifts, here's number one for you little guy. I hereby invoke my totality manipulation powers to allow you to elevate the passion, sexual pleasure, hormonal levels, and love between you and your soul mates while kissing, hugging, and especially doing the deed. This elevation will be infinitely higher than any normal human body could ever hope to produce and will not affect you or your bond mates in any negative way, bringing the three of you to the supreme form of ecstasy and the ultimate high, allowing your love for each other to grow by infinite leaps and bounds far beyond anything any mortal couple could ever hope to feel.
It is my hope that your soul bond with Amber and Serena received the blessing of Ash Ketchum Infinity himself and hereby use my own omni-telepathy to project my desire for this blessing across the entire Omnisphere and through every omni-locked location in the hopes that it finds the legendary being who legend has it saved the Omnisphere in times long since passed. Please Ash Ketchum Infinity, if you do exist and if you receive my message, know that I beseech thee, that I ask for your blessing not for myself, but for the remarkable alternate version of yourself who could one day potentially live up to the absurd notion you embody,' Mew prayed, projecting her plea across the whole of creation and feeling only the slightest tickle in the very back of her mind in response; almost imperceptible and yet carrying with it the promise that her pledge was observed.
To say Arceus and the others were shocked by her first gift would be an understatement, to invoke her powers in such a way and beseech a being who legend has it was the Pokemon Master of the Omega Omnisphere itself, the supreme Omniarch of Pokemon Masters across totality itself; like Mew said it was an absurd notion and most in the Ultra-Verse believed the infinitely removed version of Ash Ketchum was only a myth, but Mew had just asked for the legendary blessing he himself endowed only on the soul bonded couples he personally recognized as the best in his own personal opinion. As a result, every couple throughout the Ultra-Verse who was lucky enough to be in a soul bond with the one they love, be they Pokemon, human, or otherwise; secretly longed for the legendary mark, the omni colored infinity symbol of AK Infinity to appear upon them as a testament of their everlasting love and the promise of eternal happiness. Mew was going to a lot of trouble on the Chosen One's behalf, and all of them knew the significance of this first gift as well as he did as Arceus questioned whether his eldest child had really thought this all the way through before hastily praying to the legendary being even other omnipotent Pokemon masters aspired to.
Mew however, couldn't have been happier to try and make Ash's future soul bond the best it could be; besides, even if it didn't turn out the way she hoped at least she could say she tried, and given that gentle push in the back of her infinite mindscape she secretly wondered if Ash Ketchum Infinity was really as nonsensical as everybody believed. Part of living in the Ultra-Verse was learning to believe in the craziest ideas, the most absurd notions, yet even the UV's best and brightest seemed to draw a very clear line between what they believed to be possible and utter nonsense.
She often questioned the stupidity of such an endeavor, because quite frankly part of being omnipotent was knowing that the line between possible and impossible was incredibly blurred, and crossing it enough times could make that line disappear altogether. So was it really so impossible for an infinity version of her universe's Ash to be out there somewhere, in a totality where all things were real no matter how ridiculous, impossible, paradoxical, or contradictory. Her point was that at least she tried and no matter if he was real or if he recognized her desire to make his 9 by 6 incarnation's soul bond the best it could be, then at least she would find out all in due time; right now all she wanted to do was get started on her second gift for her universe's Ash.
'Now for the second part of my gift my young charge; by the power invested by me I hereby officially recognize you as an official member of the Supreme Legendary Pokemon Council, so that you can attend our meetings, get to know each and every one of us, and always be up to speed on the latest happenings across the 9 by 6 universe and by extension the UV and the Omega Omnisphere. Are there any in the council who reject this offer?' Mew quickly said, invoking her sacred powers in order to induct Ash into the council right away as she gazed imploringly at Arceus, who of the council members was the only one with the authority to overrule her decisions.
Arceus pondered this for a moment, before finally nodding with an approving smile. 'Very well Mew, I was going to induct him anyways when he was a tad bit... older, but right now works to. By the power invested by me as the Supreme Council Member number 1, I hereby dub Ash Ketchum 9 by 6 of the 9 by 6 universe as my second in command within the council, tied alongside yourself Lady Mew as my highest ranking advisor and hereby state that should the two of you vote together, any decisions either one of you makes can overthrow my own authority if need be. I do not wish to have all the clout in the council and hereby pass the torch onto the two of you to overrule me if need be, this is my judgement and so mote it be. I do however Lady Mew, have one request that I might humbly ask of you in your decisiveness,' Arceus proclaimed formally as Mew opted to hear him out, wondering what he wanted.
'What do you wish for father,' she whispered, wondering what was on his mind and wishing the omnipotence paradox wouldn't invalidate her own supremacy so that she could breach his impenetrably defensive, infinite mindscape. It made being able to tell what her dear old dad was thinking very hard, but perhaps he preferred it that way and she'd be lying if she said she didn't like being kept on her toes. Finally after a small, agonizing eternity Arceus answered her questioning response to his request.
'Until Ash is of an appropriate age in human terms, which is to say until he is 13 years old and considered a legal adult anywhere in any region on Pokeearth, I humbly request that you yourself handle both your position in the council and his own. In this time you will be granted the combined powers that both of you would have possessed individually had you two voted together on something, until such a time where the Chosen One is ready to split the power between you and him,' Arceus requested as all the legendary Pokemon gasped outright in shock at him. Celebi immediately protested upon realizing what was happening as Mesprit and the others were simply surprised. 'But father you can't be serious; I'll be the first one to admit that Lady Mew has surprised us many times these past months but if I'm not mistaken you are essentially giving her more power and authority by herself than the entire rest of the council, yourself included. She'd have the power and authority to rule us all and would have complete and utter mastery over the omnipotent original powers that you yourself built into the foundations of our world! Surely you mustn't believe she could be a responsible leader,' she vehemently, violently protested as Mew wondered not for the first time why the time traveling goddess had such a grudge against her.
'Okay what's your deal Celebi?! I've never been anything but nice to you in all the years I've known you yet for some weird reason you've always hated me, why exactly is that?!' Mew hissed sassily as Celebi glared at her as if she couldn't believe what she was hearing. 'You really can't see it can you?! All that unlimited power, the all-seeing eyes, the nigh omniscience, the infinite perception, and you're still blind to what is right in front of you! I can't believe you would even ask me such a question, but then again you really must not know anything because there is no way you'd try and defend yourself if you knew what the hell was going on outside of your little la-la land," Celebi shouted back just as angrily as Arceus and the others sweat dropped at their heated exchange.
'Oh my, it seems I have created some tension with my decision,' Arceus commented dryly as Mesprit snickered and Victini tried to hold her laughter in behind her hands while Jirachi simply floated there half asleep. Part of the price she paid for having unlimited wish granting powers was a very inconvenient sleep cycle, well at least convenient for the humans. Arceus designed it this way for her species so that the humans couldn't just take advantage of her wish granting powers whenever they wanted; the sleep cycle of her entire species coinciding with the appearance and thousand year disappearance of a special meteor containing unlimited cosmic power that could be used to amp a Jirachi's wish granting powers whenever they needed it. Fortunately for the first of their kind, the Jirachi right here in front of them was no longer in need of the meteor's power and could grant unlimited wishes an infinite amount of times within the seven day period she was awake, possessing her species natural abilities at unnatural, unspeakable levels.
Of course she could have simply wished herself out of her sleep cycle but liked the peace it brought her, not to mention the fact that the humans knew it was pointless trying to rouse her out of her dormant state; so they instead went absolutely insane trying to hunt down her and her kind to have all their wishes come true within the seven day period. Shaking himself out of his musing at Jirachi's story and mentally remarking on the fact that her species' eternal sleepiness was an Ultra-Versal constant now, Arceus smiled benignly and decided to end the fight before both girls woke the sleeping baby standing three feet below them.
'If you guys would be so kind as to quiet down, Celebi my decision to entrust this authority and power to Mew is final, you'll just have to live with it I'm afraid. I fully trust in her abilities as our secret leader and in light of recent events I have been continually surprised by you lady Mew, such is my shock now that I am all too happy to leave the fate of our council in your hands. Sometimes it amazes me how far people and Pokemon alike will go when somebody puts a little faith in them for the first time, entrusts them with certain responsibilities. I believe now that because of my baseless decision, one that was purely coincidental and made totally on a whim, your fate is tied to that of the Chosen Ones Mew; I think that you may find yourself to be quite the wildcard in impending calamity, Omninoir won't be expecting such a powerful being to be protecting his number one target and he certainly won't expect whatever new... relations may arise now that you're part of Ash's life now,' Arceus said knowingly, making Mew briefly wonder if he had seen the same futuristic vision she had seen or if he was just making a highly educated guess based on the way she'd been acting around the baby version of him. She found herself inwardly snorting at the mere thought of it; she didn't have any kind of future with Ash in that way, even if people as a whole didn't frown on Pokephilea she still knew for a fact that Ash was destined to become bonded by the soul to Amber Valentino and Serena Yvonne, his fellow chosen champions. Even if she ended up developing a crush on him as he matured nothing would come of it, it just couldn't could it?
Arceus sensed that Mew was deeply considering what he was saying and as she no doubt suspected he had indeed foreseen that rather interesting teaser from the future; having not foreseen such a thing before in all his time spent scanning the vastness of the Omni-temporal continuum but wondering if his decision to make her his guardian had resulted in some kind of anomalous turn of events appearing and superimposing itself upon the already predestined futures that were set in motion for the Chosen Ones at the beginning of the universe. It was something to think about later, right now he knew that with Ash's last minutes in his four hour sleep cycle running out and the sunrise impending; he and his daughters had to make haste and leave this place. Mere humans could not see them that much was a given due to the nature of their total invisibility; but baby Ash was another matter and Arceus did not wish to startle him or otherwise stress him out.
'Come on you guys, we should probably leave, Celebi, Jirachi, Mesprit, Victini, Meloetta, time to return to your stations,' Arceus suggested somewhat urgently as the baby's eyes started to begin the slow process of opening and taking in the world around him. As he somewhat expected however, Mew spoke up loud and clear, getting all their attention while slowly levitating herself lower and lower until she was almost lying on top of Ash's crib right beside him. 'If it's alright with you father, I would like to stay and begin my duties right away,' she said with a hopeful tone as Arceus nodded with a gentle smile and even Celebi's glare softened a tad as she and Mew locked eyes for a moment. In one last flash of golden light, Arceus and the other legends were gone, leaving an invisible Mew and a now fully awake baby Ash who immediately felt the weight press down on the bed beside him.
Everything felt different now since emerging from the safety of that place, what that strange man in white had called the womb of his mother Delia. Ash's now infinite mindscape and all his other gifts immediately made him aware of things no ordinary baby should have been able to know, and his mind took in everything around him, the scents, the tastes, the sights, everything audible within a twenty foot radius, and his undeveloped brain just continually absorbed and neatly organized all the infinite information he was inundated with, the strange visions within his own mind while he dreamed, and everything else in a whole new world full of unlimited wonders and possibilities. Perhaps the most amazing thing of all he'd seen so far, aside from the one dubbed Delia Ketchum, or the baby's mother as some also called her, was the strange blue creature that somewhat resembled him back when he was a fetus only looking far more developed and maybe even something totally different to what he was. His main questions in life at this moment however, were who was he and where did he come from? As if sensing his thoughts, the blue fetus-like creature giggled slightly, her voice echoing perfectly clear in his head.
'You're a curious one aren't you, already wondering who and what you are, I didn't do that until I was already four years old and that was a very long time ago believe me,' the girl continued to giggle as she said this, while the baby processed all of this and formed some more questions. It was amazing this new life, every time he discovered one answer a thousand new questions would appear, he hadn't been this enticed in all the time he spent in the womb and quickly realized this creature could understand and hear him. The one thing he hadn't been able to shake in that womb was the loneliness, being the only thing in existence was a somewhat empowering yet somewhat solitary confinement, and he now realized for the first time that there was so much more to him than that.
'Who are you?' he questioned mentally, trying to sit up or move around in his crib but quickly growing frustrated with how weak he was in this infant body. 'My name is Mew, and your name is Ash. You've been asleep for a long time but now the time has come for the world to know who you are,' Mew smiled gently, realizing that this boy was experiencing everything for the first time and trying her best to simplify everything so as to help him along. But with such a basic understanding of things and such limited knowledge of the world he now lived in, this was going to be exceedingly difficult. 'What's the world Mew,' he wondered, quickly reasoning out that out here he was called Ash and she was called Mew, but beyond that he didn't know much of anything else.
Mew giggled fondly at his question, 'that's not an easy question for me to answer Ash, maybe when you're a bit older and seen a bit more of it,' she promised him as Ash seemed to accept this and quickly grew restless. 'Ugh, why can't I do anything?' he cried frustratingly as Mew moved over to comfort him, understanding that he was feeling weak and vulnerable and wanting to reassure him that she was here to protect him. 'Ash calm down, you're still only a baby, and babies start out weak and in a state of complete dependency; it's actually kind of inconvenient that you're so smart and question everything, most babies just accept these kinds of things and don't really understand that they're going to get bigger, and bigger, and bigger,' Mew cooed with adoration, poking Ash's belly with her tail every time she said bigger and eliciting a happy squeal from him, a squeal that melted her heart as he grabbed onto her tail with his hands and pulled it up against his chest, effectively trapping her there with him.
'Listen, I know you probably want to just get up and explore and learn all kinds of things, but there is still a lot of time left before you need to wake up and it would probably be best if you slept some more,' she suggested half-heartedly, not really feeling inclined to force the issue and wanting to play with him a bit. 'I don't want to, I already did that lots and lots,' he telepathed, learning more and more words every second and speaking in the otherwise unknowable language of babies, well unknowable to adult humans, but other babies and omni-lingual tongues could decipher it just fine. It was primitive, instinctual, and dated back to primordial times, but it was still a language and therefore still decipherable by omni-lingualists.
Mew could sense that Ash was going to be stubborn in his desire to stay awake and given the fact that Victini had insured he would only ever get four hours of sleep every night before he was making a fuss and waking up the whole house, she knew it would be up to her to teach him how to sleep for the sake of sleeping; as thoughtful as Victini's gift was, Mew knew it would be guaranteed to drive Delia Ketchum batty when her son only gave her four hours of peace every night. Being a cat who loved a good thirty year catnap every few thousand years or so, Mew well understood that sleeping could be done for no reason at all other than to lounge around and be lazy; hopefully teaching Ash how to sleep this way would not only help Delia but also help him to relax and take it easy when it really counted.
She also understood that Ash would have too much energy right now to sleep if she merely suggested it, and so she decided to try another, more subtle approach, one that would never make him any the wiser. She decided to sing, her famous and yet infamous lullaby, the legendary lullaby of the ancient blue Mew something many Pokemon throughout the world sought to hear. Some humans had even come across her singing at times and had been irresistibly drawn to her voice, describing it as the voice of a celestial maiden from heaven. Meloetta was not wrong when she said the power of music was essentially limitless in its possible applications, and Mew herself had developed this lullaby by tapping into the same omni music manipulation that her fellow legend prized so much. It was an old hobby of hers that she did just for fun, and so she began to sing her heavenly tune, humming the infamous lullaby that had only succeeded to make her more famous than she already was.
A gentle thrum of soothing, limitless power began lolling over Ash as she sung the most beautiful sound he'd ever heard in all his tiny life, wondering what she was doing and drawn in by her voice, by her... everything as he felt his eyelids getting heavy. The heavens above were responding to her voice in pure delight as she sang to him. He may not have been living very long, but this was the nicest thing anyone had ever done for him; her voice was as beautiful as that of the strange and beautiful girl he had seen in his sleep, a girl who had blue and pink streaks in her obsidian hair and baby blue eyes, eyes that were eerily similar to Mew's own. He hadn't known who this girl was and wondered to himself if she was someone he had yet to meet, but the way Mew sang was just as beautiful as this girl he had seen only one time in the land of his sleep. Knowing that he would never forget this beautiful lullaby this Mew sang to him, Ash felt his eyelids getting heavier against his will, and within seconds the power of the song carried him off the world of his dreams. And he fell asleep with her tail wrapped in his arms and her invisible body now fast asleep next to his, having been put to sleep by her own song as Ash's blanket secured itself around the two of them of its own accord and the smiling, transparent form of Arceus watched over them without their knowing.
Author's Note: And there you have it peeps, part 1 of the prologue for my third Pokemon story is complete; I know I said this would be partially an Amourshipping story and believe me it is. Though as I'm sure some of you might have guessed this will also be Ash and OC as well as possibly Dreamshipping AKA Ash and Mew, though how that may or may not happen, you'll just have to keep reading on to find out. So what did you think of it overall, was it good, was it bad, did you love it, hate it, are you dying to read the next installment? Please feel free to give me constructive criticism if there is anything in this prologue that isn't done as well as it could be, I'll be happy to make all the suggested changes so long as they're changes that are reasonable, and keep in mind that I update my old chapters as I post new ones so do try to make a habit of checking back every once in a while.
The parts where Mew and the others bestowed Ash with gifts are going to be a major plot point later on and their gifts will save his ass ten times over believe me. I know you'll probably think he's too OP too soon in the story but don't forget most of the really overpowered gifts have some conditions or certain limitations and rules in place. For instance Meloetta's infinite music manipulation gift can only be activated when Ash is in earshot of any kind of music and even then he's not going to know or understand all the subtleties of that particular ability right off the bat, because that would not be realistic in any way, shape, or form and Ultra-Verse or not, there is a certain basis in logic for all these stories. Also as I'm sure some of you worked out there are some really big scientific ideas and a scientific basis incorporated in these stories as well; I do like to add the sci-fi elements to all my stories no matter how godlike the characters may be.
On top of all that, what did you all think of this version of Omninoir as compared to his counterpart from the 1 millionth universe; as I said before these are two very different versions or representations of the same exact being. You'll learn in time that all versions of the Anti-God Pokemon are in fact connected at the base, and the prime aspect of Omninoir is not the Omninoir Prime you'll eventually see in one of my other up and coming stories, so yes I understand this all very confusing but bear with me on this one guys, I promise it will one day make a whole lot more sense. You'll also learn that all the Pokemon universes depicted in my stories are not as separate as you might imagine, so be expecting certain shall we say, dimensional cross-over between them in the not so distant future. Also for those of you wondering about the whole omnipotence paradox thing there is not actually more than one omnipotent being in the Ultra-Verse, because whether it is Ash Ketchum 1 million, 9 by 6, Infinity, all the different Omninoir, and all the different versions of the different all-powerful species of Pokemon throughout the Ultra-Verse, they're all pretty much the same being or at least connected at the base. Now the difference is they all represent different aspects, different characteristics of the UV's Omni-creator, like having infinite multiple personalities and shit lol.
Anyways my point is that they all have a sense of individuality from each other and whether or not they're aware of the interconnection doesn't stop them from living an individual life with isolated minds; which as some of you might know allows for diversity. Only the prime aspect of the UV's Omni-Creator is fully attuned to all of His infinite personalities and completely aware of His existence being the collective infinite knowledge, wisdom, powers, and experiences of the UV's vast pantheon of supreme forces and beings. I call this endless pantheon of interconnected but still individually thinking omnipotent beings the Omnipotence Nexus lol, man me and the shit I come up with. Anyways, hopefully that explains the UV's mechanics a little more in depth to you guys and hopefully you understood that deep, philosophical shit.
Anyways despite their inherent similarities Omninoir 9 by 6 and Omninoir 1 million are already vastly different from each other. Omninoir 1 million is just an omnimalevolent prick who wishes to conquer the Omega Omnisphere and become the prime aspect, the Source version of the Anti-God and rule the vast pantheon of primordial voids and chaos gods and shit. Omninoir 9 by 6 however, is an omnicidal psychopath who hates literally everything, all of existence including his own; that makes him one of the most dangerous villains in the UV thus far and believe me folks that's not an easy feat. I have a very grand scheme going on for all of these stories and trust me when I say the UV is a far more respectable and vast place than these three measly stories so far have lead you all to believe; I have a lot of other stories for godlike characters planned for the Ultra-Verse guys, and not all of them are Pokemon so be looking forward to that.
Anyways like I said before, Pokephilea and Pokemon/Pokemon relationships are very big in this story and very intimately explored and described in great detail; so if you guys don't like the kind of stories that explores all these different sides and aspects of the universe I've created then don't bother reading it plain and simple. Also no flames and no trolls, I will NOT allow it, I am glad that so far my rewrites for my first two stories have received nothing but positive reviews thus far and for all their stupidity some of the more legitimate critics had a point when they said my old copies had a Mary-sue version of Serena among other things.
I think I rectified that problem pretty well and these rewrites are going to turn out so much better folks believe me. Anyways this story is now the third story of my ever-growing collection of Ultra-Verse stories and characters. Hopefully by now you all have a general idea of what the Ultra-Verse is; believe me I've put a lot of thought and all my heart into these stories and the point of totality in which they're located. I've taken my original Fanfiction story ideas in directions I could never have imagined when I first joined this site over a year ago, now though I wouldn't have it any other way.
As an aspiring creative writer looking to become a bestselling author, I can honestly say you guys have been so incredibly helpful and that I would never have gotten this far without my loyal reviewers, hell my constructive critics have helped me more than I can say. You guys really are the best, and the part with Zeneptron the Source Anti-God, that one was for those of you who have helped me get my stories this far along. He's essentially a character from the original story I intend to publish, the very same story that ultimately inspired my creating the Ultra-Verse and all of its stories and characters. It was because I was trying to get a leg up with that story that I joined this site yes, but it is because you guys helped me out so much that I stayed, and probably because of some of you that I have so much to work with regarding my life's work. So truly I thank you all from the bottom of my heart; words cannot express how grateful I am. So I guess I'll end my rambling here and say to read, rate, and review like you guys always do. The Omniarch has left the building. Oh how I wish I was an Omniarch for real, because if I was an omnipotent ruler of infinite verses then I'd make some major changes in our world, like making Pokemon real muahahaha.
