(Here it is. My first new story in a while. Just so we're clear, it will be in Kalos for a moment, but it'll be mostly based in the new Hoenn from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. Keeping that in mind, please do enjoy.)

Chapter 1: Discovery at its Finest

There are many people who consider themselves geniuses and those who gloat so much about it that they don't realize that they lack the intelligence. I was one of those people who considers myself as a certified genius, mostly because I was born with it. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Yvelton Vorintine and I know what you're thinking: I'm named after the legendary Destruction Pokémon, Yveltal. Well, that's only because I've actually been testing a gene splicing experiment by taking some DNA from that very same legend, infused it into me, and I've turned from a handsome young Caucasian man into basically a gijinka of the Destruction Pokémon. I stand at a height of seven feet and nine inches tall with an increased muscle capacity that's enough to make ladies fall for me. I still retain some part of my former human self, like my long black hair that stops just below my lower back and I keep my purple eye color, even though I have Yveltal's eyes. Due to my race, I've been changed into the coloring of the Shiny Yveltal, which means that I have the red and white color scheme of my skin. I've also got rounded hands instead of those sharp claws and my tail has been downsized to fit my standards as well. The only things I'm missing are the horns… for some odd reason.

Now, on to the real topic at hand:

Being a young genius at an age of 22 isn't an easy feat, but when it comes to keeping that reputation as much as you possibly can, it's actually an effortless task. Being born and raised as Carnealton Vorintine before my gene splicing experiment, I was well known all over Kalos. After my parents passed away from a devastating blow of both cancer and gun shots to the head six years ago by a pair of ruthless criminals who knew who I was, I was determined to get back at them someday. They were a couple of out-of-towners by the team name of PokéDestructors. They came all the way from the Hoenn region to try to rid of me of my inspiration, but that never worked out for them. Fearing for their safety, they fled back to Hoenn and they've literally concealed themselves for now. You'll know what they look like later. Right now, however, I am focused on one goal: to revive history.

I remember my father telling me back when I was fifteen that there were many ancient Pokémon way back in ancient times. You can name 'em: Amaura, Aurorus, Tyrunt, Tyrantrum, Kabuto, Kabutops, Omanyte, Omastar, Armaldo, and Cradily… all have which lived another day to seek their true calling in the modern times we live today. Well, there was one more that lived over 100 million years ago, around the time Lileep and Cradily were the only residents. The only problem, though, is that I don't remember the name of the Pokémon. I need to find answers and some evidence about this new ancient Pokémon and if it can be reborn, just like the others I've mentioned before.

My journey began on a beautiful Spring Sunday morning. I was already freshened up and had a filling, but healthy breakfast in my humble home in Anistar City. Since it was typically chilly here, it was kinda nice that it would actually feel comfortable this morning. For that reason, I decided to drink my hot chocolate outside, even though I was shirtless and wearing black pajama pants. As soon as I sat in my rocking chair on my porch, I began to have deep thoughts about my Father's theory about this new ancient Pokémon he told me about. I realized that there is some good here: no matter what the typing may be, it'll be as friendly as an Amaura and Aurorus. Living at the same time of Lileep and Cradily, very few enemies came their way, since they were Grass and Rock types. This was a huge factor to keep in mind as I was ready for this epic adventure, especially since I'll have my fellow Pokémon with me. I have six trustworthy companions and this may be strange, but despite my appearance of a human form of Yveltal, I'm actually quite a fan of Fairy-Types. Ever since I heard about this new type, I was a bit skeptical about its power at first, but then, I adopted an Eevee, bonded with her, and after twenty battles, with the final battle being a near-loss, she evolved into a Sylveon, an extremely gorgeous Intertwining Pokémon that was a sight to behold. Our bond was even stronger after that and we never lost touch. She's the best Pokémon in my team, having quite a move set: Disarming Voice, Moonblast, Baby-Doll Eyes, and Dazzling Gleam. My appearance never bothered her at all and, seeing me as a human inside, she knew how to make me smile every single day. In fact, she's sitting right next to me on my left right now. I've named her Sylvian. As for my other Pokémon companions, let me share them with you and they are all at level 100:

The first is a female Gardevoir, who I've named Gardevenya. With her Gardevoirite around her neck, she's a Pokémon that I love to battle with in her Mega Evolution. Even though I'm drastically taller than her as we stand together, she doesn't seem to mind. Plus, I've given her the ability to have human speech. So, when you hear her talk, she'll sound like a deeply toned expert. Her move set: Dazzling Gleam, Moonblast, Calm Mind, and Psychic. Trust me on this. That last move… comes… in… handy.

The second of mine is a male Dedenne named Voltap. Sylvian actually helps me out with him sometimes, due to his small size. Despite the assistance, he's always pumped and ready for whatever the day will bring. Having a Bold nature, he sure does live up to it. I've tried giving him Dazzling Gleam, since it's my favorite Fairy-Type move, but all he could learn was Play Rough, and that's okay. His other electrified moves… Nuzzle, Charge Beam, and Thunder… never ceases to amaze me.

The third is a Flying and Fairy-Type called the Togekiss. I've decided to name her Angel because that's exactly what she looks like as she flies me to my desired destinations. She's also very soft to the touch, which means that hugging is a daily routine, no matter how I'm feeling. It's also touching when she tries her best to return the embrace with her fluffy wings, but despite her futile efforts, she always tries and nearly succeeds. Her move set is Fly, Dazzling Gleam, Steel Wing, and Roost. That last move has saved her many times and is thankful for it every time.

The fourth is the only Legendary in my group: A Diancie. Now, it's shocking enough that I have one. It's HOW I obtained it that amazed me even more: My Mother… she gave her to me shortly after her death… and what's even more surprising is that she had a Diancite around her neck, which meant… well… you get it. Gardevenya isn't the only one. So, with that being the case, I choose which one I wanna Mega Evolve wisely and so far, I haven't failed yet. Diancie is also the only other Pokémon I have that can annunciate human speech, but in a much more adorable female voice that echoed by just a small percentage. Also, I've decided to keep her name because I just love saying it: Diancie... nice roll of the teeth. Anyway, her move set is Diamond Storm, Moonblast, Calm Mind, and… yep, you guessed it… Dazzling Gleam. I gotta share this, though: My first sighting of Diamond Storm… totally outta this world!

The fifth and final Pokémon: A male Azumarill named Pacific. He's the second male in my group and the second Pokémon that can't learn Dazzling Gleam. Instead, he's just like Voltap, having Play Rough as his only Fairy-Type move. The rest of his move set… Hydro Pump, Aqua Tail, and Scald… are the strongest for a Water-Type to handle. His adorable appearance makes hugs a daily routine as well, making me happy every time, no matter what. He never ceases to impress me with how he likes to use his own strategy in the bleakest of battles. With him, I'll probably never look at Water-Type Pokémon in the same way again.

Overall, this Fairy team is the best in all of Kalos and many others do admit this to be an absolute fact. And even in annual Pokémon competitions, they do allow me to let Diancie battle, even though all legendary Pokémon should be forbidden. It's a miracle to me and to Diancie as well.

Now, back to this beautiful morning at hand. As I was sitting here enjoying this fresh, crisp, and early morning breeze of a Sunday Spring morning with Sylvian sitting next to me, I saw an old man in his seventies approach me with a look of apprehension. He was dressed in a science lab coat and that made me perk up without spilling my steamy hot chocolaty beverage. It was actually an old friend of my Dad's, Borintino.

"Yvelton, you're up early." He started in his tender elderly voice. "How have you been since your parents passed away?"

"I've been okay, thanks." I replied in my handsome voice that I shared with a certain famous tap-dancing penguin. "I keep their spirits alive in my soul, no matter what."

"Excellent. Now, you're not gonna believe this, but me and the other scientists at Ambrette Town have recently made an interesting discovery. It turns out that the Sea Spirit's Den in Azure Bay has one more fossil there. You do already know of the Sail Fossil and the Jaw Fossil, right?"

"Yeah."

"Well, there's one more fossil: The Poison Dart Fossil. It's very poisonous to the touch and does require careful preparations to obtain it, but after that, reviving it shouldn't be hard."

"Huh! Being a Fairy expert, I'm not a huge fan of the idea, but goddamn it! I actually want it. Did you get any additional information on the fossil itself?"

"Not any more than the name and its typing: Poison and Steel."

"What? That's a new combination. Hold on. Isn't this fossil one of…?"

"Yes. It's the same ancient Pokémon your Father mentioned to you back when you were fifteen. He never obtained it for obvious reasons."

"So, I'm fulfilling our family prophecy by letting me go after the fossil as well…"

"…and keep the Pokémon you get with it."

"Oh, no… I… I can't. I have Fairy-Type Pokémon all over my house right now. I can't keep it."

"You HAVE to. They're your Father's orders, according to his will."

"Shit! Well, okay. I'll try, but if it harms any of my Pokémon, I'm blaming you for it."

"Consider it done." After that was finalized, Borintino left and Sylvian looked up at me with concern in her bright blue eyes. I returned the glare with a frown.

"I know it's dangerous." I said to her. "But, what can I do? I love my parents and I know that this is the same ancient Pokémon that my Father said had very few enemies and, therefore, is extremely friendly towards all who encounter it, but… I just have very little confidence in this situation. With this Pokémon having both of your weaknesses in one, I'm actually worried about this… but it's my Father's will and testament that I must follow and, therefore, only Angel is going with me, since she's been trained to fly me anywhere instead of from town to town. Will you be okay without me for a few hours?"

"Sylveon!" Sylvian replied to me in her majestic voice before she used her ribbon-like feelers to pull herself up towards my lap and nuzzled me against my chest, telling me that she wouldn't mind my absence for a while. I smiled at that feeling as I embraced her in return. "Syl, sylve, vee."

"Thanks, Sylvian. I promise we won't be gone long. I'm leaving Gardevanya in charge of you all. Make sure you tell her that, okay?" My precious Intertwining Pokémon nodded in response to that question before she made a graceful leap out of my lap and ran into the house while I made my way back in afterwards casually. I already had a feeling that keeping a Poison and Steel-type Pokémon under the same roof as a bunch of Fairies was NOT going to be easy.

Ten minutes of a shower and an additional seven minutes of getting ready went by quickly and I was in the process of getting my long black velvet hair to the peak of perfection. I was dressed in a long black t-shirt with sleeves that covered both of my arms and pure white jeans that were comfortable and baggy. I'm absent of shoes because, since the transformation, my feet have turned bigger and they're practically like a pair of flat three-toed talons. It didn't bother me, though.

Anyway, as I was combing through my hair, I saw Gardevenya enter the room with a smile that told me that she didn't mind where I was going and why. I was surprised. She was leaned up against the wall right next to the doorway. Seeing that made me chuckle a little bit. She does have a Calm nature.

"It's inspiring that you're fulfilling your Father's wishes." She started in a sultry deep female voice that never really mesmerized me in the least. "But, having it being a Poison and Steel-type kinda scares me a little bit."

"Yeah, I know." I replied. "But, I have to do this. It would dishonorable to my family name, if I refused. Besides, I'm sure we can tame the Pokémon to be around a bunch of Fairies without harming you all."

"It's a process that's already proven to be possible, but extremely difficult."

"We can't lose hope on this, Gardevanya. I've never lost faith in you all and it won't happen for this new ancient Pokémon." I was finally finished with my hair as I turned towards my beloved Embrace Pokémon. "You do have Psychic, you know."

"Yes, but I don't want to hurt it in order to tame it. Didn't your Father tell you that it's only been around Lileeps and Cradilys 100 million years ago?"

"Yeah. That factor alone is giving us a good chance that it'll be easily trained to bond with others… but I do want it to show off its power it has lost in all those years."

"You better be careful, then. You have no idea what it's capable of."

"Don't worry about me. I know what I'm doing." After that was said, I gave my Gardevoir a loving embrace for a full minute before we parted and she went on her way back downstairs while I walked over to my duffle bag, slung it over my shoulder, and followed her down, heading towards Angel, who was already in the spacious backyard, waiting for me. We never exchanged words with one another by the time I started to carefully climb on her back and hang on to the nape of her neck before she took off towards the Sea Spirit's Den in Azure Bay. She was also prepared for what this Poison Dart Fossil might bring.

After the fifteen minute flight, we finally landed on the lonely den's sandy shore entrance and, with a pat on the head, Angel nodded once in response with her nearly wind chime cry that was soothing to hear before I made my way inside the dark cave. After taking about thirty steps in, there was another entryway into, what could be, the chamber the Poison Dart Fossil was being held. Before entering, I placed down my bright yellow and black duffle bag and started to get prepared for the poisonous encounter. Inside the bag, I had a purple and black Poison Protection Suit, or PPS for short. Wearing this long sleeved shirt and jeans adds more to the protection. It didn't take me too long to get into the jumpsuit, slip on the attached hood-and-helmet headgear, and apply the titanium steel plated gloves to my hands to provide complete immunity upon the touch. This suit was handed down to me from my Father after his passing. He's been wearing this back when he had to train a few Poison-types to control their poisonous powers. He was a bit of a Poison-Type fan as well. My Mom… well… she was a Grass-Type fan. Having me being born and growing up into a Fairy fan isn't odd at all… at least, not to me and my fellow Pokémon companions.

After my preparations were complete, I casually walked inside the barely lit cave. The only light available was from the sunlight shining its luminescent yellow beam down towards a small foundation with a glimmering object on top. I got closer to that very same structure and smiled at the sight before me: It appeared to be a tentacle that measured to be about six inches long, in a deep purple color, and had three two inch long titanium steel stripes, including at the very tip.

This was the Poison Dart Fossil that my Father's old friend mentioned!

It… it's beautiful. I had to take some time to circle around it and take a good long look at it. The purple colored stripes were glistening as brightly as the metal, due to the fact that the poison was lubricating it to prevent it from drying up in the sunlight. The steel itself was also looking as though it was getting the added luster for a flawless shine that made poison look harmless. After the first three minutes of looking at it, it started to squirm just a little bit. It was alive! In all my family's years of finding fossils, we've have never encountered a live one before and I happened to be the one to witness such a feat! It's incredible! While it continued to squirm like a worm trying to escape from a hook, I carefully reached for it and it was actually a whopping three inches thick and I could hold it firmly in my hand, like it was a pipe. In the very instant it was within my grip, it stopped flapping and it went completely limp and lifeless. It looked as if I killed it, but I didn't. It was probably feeling secure in my armored hand and I smiled at it. This discovery was really at its finest at this point, but it's not over yet.

After admiring it for several seconds, I kept my gentle and firm grip on the fossil as I made my way back to my duffle bag and used my free left hand to reach into it, pulling out a poison-proof glass chamber that was capsule-shaped and was at the perfect seven inch long length. It was small enough to fit in this bag, but big enough to hold this legendary fossil. I took one more good look at this amazing artifact with a smile for another ten seconds and twisted it open, placing it gently inside before closing it again. After I placed it in the duffle bag, I took off my PPS, folded it up neatly, and placed it away carefully next to the chamber before zipping the bag closed and making my way back outside towards Angel, who gave me an adorable smile. This time, I had something to say to my Jubilee Pokémon:

"My Father's applauding. I can hear him. Same goes for my Mother. I've got the fossil and now, here's hoping nothing terrible will happen to you or the others." Angel responded with another harmonic chirp and I translated it. She told me that she would be proud of me as well. That made me feel even more confident. All of these doubts about keeping this Pokémon in the same house as a bunch a Fairies were slowly starting to leave my memory banks.

A few minutes later, we finally made it back to my humble abode in Anistar City and, without a second thought, Diancie and Gardevanya followed me down to my secret laboratory in an underground cavern I happened to find upon first arriving here many years ago. It's blue in color all over with some hints of white and black as well. I've got practically every type of machine known to man down here and I felt most at home here as well. With the Poison Dart Fossil being carried in the glass chamber by my rubber-gloved hands, I made my way towards my Pokémon Analysis Machine and placed it securely in the circular slot specially made for it. Afterwards, I made my way to the controls and pressed the 'Start' button with Gardevanya and Diancie right behind me, having the Embrace Pokémon on my left and the Jewel Pokémon on my right, except she floated up to my shoulder, having a tiny hand on that same shoulder for added support.

Inside the machine, it began the process of just identifying the Pokémon. It scanned for approximately two minutes before all three of us looked at the screen to see a photo copy of the fossil and the computer spoke out its findings.

"Pokémon confirmed." The female computer voice, who was named APA, started. APA stands for Automated Pokémon Analyzer. "Species name: Dartrog; Gender: Male; It is the Poison Dart Pokémon that stands at a height of 9 feet and 9 inches tall and weighs approximately 825 pounds, which is 99.99 percent muscle. The .01 percent is contained within a pair of pigtail-like tentacles upon his back that measure up to seven feet long." Wow! I knew it. The name says it all: Dartrog. It's a combination of the words 'Dart' and 'Frog', which meant only one thing: It has a frog-like appearance. All three of us remained silent as we allowed APA to continue, despite the shock. "The Dartrog became extinct after it caused a rampage of his own for over 100 million years. By the year 578 AD, the rampage cause a devastating earthquake, instantly making him become forgotten forever… until now, that is. He has the ability Toxic Reversal, which raises respective stats of a normal stat-reducing move. For example: if he is hit with Screech, his Defense stat would go up instead of down. This ability also prevents any stat lowering, even to himself."

"…Toxic Reversal… that's an Arceus-sent ability." I said to myself before speaking to APA. "List me his weaknesses."

"Affirmative." After that command, a list of the Dartrog's weakness came on the same screen and I nodded with an observant stare in my purple eyes. "As you can see, he holds the typical weakness of Psychic and Fire, but Ground-Types will double the super-effective damage."

"Figures, especially considering the fact that an earthquake caused his extinction. Can you give me an image of what he'll look like?"

"I am sorry, but I cannot. Would you like to revive him?"

"Not yet. One more question: What nature will he have?"

"There is an even 50/50 chance that he'll either have a Bashful Nature or a Lonely Nature. Which one would you like for him to have?"

"I'll let him have his Bashful Nature. I want his power untouched."

"Affirmative. Fossil revival activated…"

After that was said, Gardevanya held on to my respective left hand while Diancie actually hugged my right arm closer to her, having both of them with faces of pride. As for me, I watched closely as the smaller glass chamber was carefully being opened and the tentacle continued to move on its own as it was filling up with water to keep it moist. When the baby blue liquid was completely submerging the fossil, the reviving process was officially underway.

Pretty soon, the Dartrog will be reborn and will rise to the power he once had. Having him under my care is not only an absolute must for myself, but in due time, it'll be an absolute must for him as well.

To be continued…
