Giratina and Arceus silently walked to the Shaymin nesting grounds, the ones where Giratina's banishment from the normal world had been lifted. They were in a beautiful place, an island covered with flowers everywhere, except for the beaches of the area. Great cliffs surrounded the place on three sides, and from one side, a waterfall fell, clear as a crystal. The water shone a brilliant sky blue, and the only clouds in the sky were far away, but large. Giratina and Arceus looked up to the sky, as an strange sound sounded off in the distance. At first, they thought it was the Shaymin, flying back to the flower patches that served as their home in the peaceful valleys of the Pokémon world. But, as they looked closer, they each noticed a blue glow on the clouds. That can't be the Shaymin, they thought. But Arceus knew something was off even before the pair heard the strange sounds. As they both looked towards the clouds, the blue glow got brighter and more vibrant with each passing second, until a fiery electric blue comet came roaring through the clouds. Some of the sounds had been a group of Shaymin, as the friends had first thought, but they weren't flocking back to their flower paradises. They were using their powers to slow the comet before it hit the ground, obviously to protect someone or something from it. Giratina and Arceus, knowing the comet would land right where they were standing, bolted out of the way of the fiery stone, and it just did miss each of their heads as it flew right over them. A huge explosion sounded on the other side of the small island, but Arceus could tell it was close enough to investigate. He nodded to Giratina, who took his Sky Form, and Arceus lightly jumped on his back, as Giratina flew over the island to search for the crash site.
It didn't take them too long to find it, since the crater left by the comet was bigger than the two Pokémon put together. The two landed, expecting to find simple rocks and dirt, but what they actually found shocked them beyond comprehension. At the center of the crater, they saw a figure that looked human, but from the edge of the crater, they couldn't quite tell what it was. At first Giratina was reluctant to enter the crater, when this might be one of Team Rocket's tricks, but when he objected, Arceus merely said, "Is it not our duty to begin and end the Pokémon of the world? If this is dangerous, then why wouldn't Darkrai back down from Dialga and Palkia when the entire world was at stake?" Giratina understood, and so he followed Arceus into the crater, not thinking for a second that this was safe. Arceus reached the figure first, and Giratina still couldn't quite make out what the figure really was. But then, Arceus yelled, "Quickly, Giratina, you must call the others! You must see this!" Giratina let out a piercing shriek into the sky, while running to Arceus to see what was going on. He also released a burst of power into the sky, to signal their location. The Shaymin that had chased the comet out of the sky only now were approaching, as Giratina and Arceus had not noticed them land in the flowers to hide.
Giratina reached Arceus, but when he looked at the figure, he was shocked. A small, female human child was lying there, balled up as if she were cold. Shrieks, roars, and screams pierced the sky as the other legendary Pokémon responded to Arceus and Giratina's calling. Soon, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem could be seen standing at the top of the cliffs, and they flew down to the site. Suicune, Entei, and Raikou soon followed, as did Articuno, Moltrez, and Zaptos. Ho-Oh and Lugia soon followed, with Latios and Latias on their tails. They were the only ones to arrive, however. "Where is Darkrai?" Arceus asked. Lugia responded, "He has… difficulties to deal with. You know how much Darkrai cares for that human girl, Kida." "Yes, a bit too much, I believe," Giratina said. "Oh, Giratina, leave him be. At least he cares for something these days," said Latias, her voice a high pitched chirp. Latios clearly supported his sister, because he was standing tall and giving Giratina a look that told him not to argue back. Giratina looked at each Pokémon. "Well, at least you came," he said. Reshiram and Zekrom walked up to the child on the ground, and neither wanted to get too close, in case the girl was dangerous. "Reshiram, would you try to wake the child? She may not have survived," Kyurem asked. Reshiram gave him a look that said, Are you crazy? The others were already a bit nervous, as the child had a strange aura that gave off a feeling of death. And yet, the Pokémon could not understand why.
She was obviously not from the Pokémon world, nor was she from the Second Earth. However, though they all knew this girl could be dangerous, Reshiram proceeded to awake her, assuming she was dead. He leaned down and sniffed her briefly and softly, and then nudged her body with his foot. She was warm, so he knew she was still alive, though her heartbeat was very faint if Reshiram could not hear it. As she was still alive, Reshiram gently picked her up and held her in front of Arceus. "She's all yours now, she's still alive," Zekrom said. Arceus was confused. How could a human girl survive such and ordeal? Unless… "She can't be completely human. She has the scent of a human, but a partly dark, partly light aura presides in her body. Either this is a trick, or we are dealing with a creature from another realm," Kyurem said. Arceus nodded. This made things even more difficult.
Kida opened her eyes to find herself dressed in a hospital gown in a room with two beds. The room was light, but there was a shadowy spot in the corner of the room, underneath the large windows that were letting bright sunlight in. The bed Kida was lying in had a curtain, but it wasn't surrounding the bed. Instead, it was pulled to one side of the small area surrounding her bed, unlike the other side of the room, where the other bed was completely hidden. After a moment, Kida heard voices outside of the small hospital room. "What if the girl doesn't ever wake up? This will have been a great waste of our time, Arceus," one whispered. "Do not worry, Giratina. She will wake, the nurse has told me so," the other voice relplied. A third voice intervened, "But when she does wake up, what will we do with her? Put her with Kida and Darkrai, perhaps?" Arceus' voice cut back in, "Actually, that's a reasonably good idea, Latias. It's settled then. We'll send the girl to live with Darkrai and Kida, and allow them to jugde whether or not she is safe."
Seraphina woke up with a start. She was in a very unfamiliar place, one which she'd not been in since she'd left to live with her uncles, aunt, and father. She sat up, and heard voices whispering outside, but she couldn't quite make out what they were saying. But she couldn't see out either, because she was in a hospital bed with a curtain wrapped all around it, as if to hide her. Then she remembered why she was here:
Flashback
"Seraphina, we are terribly sorry. But you haven't completed your training," her father said. Her aunt quickly added, "We can't keep you here until the deed is done. We are sending you to the world filled with Pokemon." "First Earth!?" Seraphina exclaimed. "Yes. Is that not the planet you lived on before you came to us?" her oldest uncle asked. "No! I lived on Second Earth, not the world of the Pokemon. But why must I go? I can't just leave you here to die by the Demons' blades!" Seraphina replied. "We won't," Her father said, and before she knew it, Seraphina was tumbling toward First Earth, surrounded in an electric blue flame.
Seraphina was snapped back to reality as the curtain around her bed was pulled away. Bright sunlight hit her eyes, and blinded her momentarily, but when she regained her sight, she was shocked at what she saw.
The two girls stared at each other straight in the eyes. Both were in shock, that much everyone else in the room knew, but they hadn't expected this. "Excuse me, child?" a male voice asked. Seraphina turned toward the voice's source. But a man hadn't asked for her attention. A Pokemon had, if Seraphina remembered her father's explanation correctly. "What is your name, girl?" The pokemon asked. "Seraphina Blackwater. Who're you, and where am I?" Seraphina replied, her voice slightly shaky. "His name is Arceus," the girl in the other bed answered. "I've heard that name before…" Seraphina mumbled. "We know you've had a rough recovery, but we need to ask you a lot of questions," a more feminine voice spoke. It was another pokemon. There was one more pokemon in the room, but it hadn't spoken yet, so Seraphina didn't know what it's name was, or if it was male or female. "My name is Latias, and I was hoping to ask: Where did you come from?" Seraphina turned to look at the larger pokemon that she did not yet know. However, the other girl in the room seemed to know each and every one of them. "Hello Latias, Arceus, and Giratina. Where's Darkrai?" she asked. Giratina looked at the girl and said, "He's busy at your home, Kida. Do not worry, Ho-Oh and Lugia are going to take you both there later on today. You've both been cleared to leave the hospital. "Good. Now I can get back to my family and help them," Seraphina said.
She hopped out of the bed, and started for the door, but another pokemon was in her way. "Latios, why are you here? You promised me that you wouldn't interfere," Latias said. "Well, I was worried. What else do expect from your older brother?" he asked. "Yeah, my brothers do that to me all the time!" Kida said. "Well, girls, we need to get you both to Darkrai. He's been expecting us for quite a while now. And consider yourself warned not to interfere again, Latios," Latias said."OK! LETS GO!" The strange girl said while getting up and running tords the door. Seraphina looked at the strange girl with confusion. Who in the world is she? AND WHO IS DARKAI? Seraphina asked herself. The girl quickly turned around and ran up to Seraphina. " How rude of me! I forgot to introduce myself!"
Now that the girl was close enough, Seraphina finally got a good look at her. The girl had long orange hair with a flower hair pin on one side. She wore a short pink mini dress, a blue belt, a pear of blue biker gloves, and a long blue cloak. On the feet she wore a pear of blue high heel boots. Suddenly Seraphina was snapped back to reality by the girls voice. " My name is Kida! And i think we are going to be great friend!" Kida said as she held her hand out for Seraphina to grab. Seraphina looked at Kida's hand for a moment the grasped her hand. Then Kida grasped Seraphina's hand even tighter, then started to drag her out of the door. " We better hurry, we don't want to be late... Darkria will get mad if we are late... he is such a grumpy pants!" Kid a said as both the girls left the room. The only thing in Seraphina's mind was, Who in the world is Darkria?
