A/N My first try at a story, please tell me where it needs work, since I personally feel that this could be better. Eventually I'll pair Jirachi with Celebi, but I don't know how all this shipping stuff works yet, so if someone could tell me that it would be appreciated. Also, I got most of my information on other Pokémon from other stories, so don't blame me if some people's personalities seem copied.

If I owned Pokémon, then I wouldn't be writing about it. I don't own Pokémon.

Anyway, here's the real story.

Arceus sighed

Today was not a good day, it was the day that all parents dread, the day when they realize that their children are growing up, yet need more attention than ever anyway. Of all the legendaries that she had created, there were 3 that she looked after the most, since they were most childlike. They were Mew, Jirachi, and Celebi. Celebi had matured nicely and was wise, being a guardian of time and the forest. Mew… wasn't so easy to keep under control, but a few years of harsh training and discipline under the none-forgiving Mewtwo would change that quickly. The hardest one to help grow up would be Jirachi. Jirachi was a being of purity, so he never had to deal with any negative emotions like rage or envy. Unfortunately, the other legendaries had agreed that if Jirachi couldn't understand negativity, he wouldn't be able to fulfill his destiny as a legendary Pokémon. Though this was true for most of the legendaries, some were just freaked out when he blew up the fake Groudon with an almost satanic appearing smile on his face, since it was weird seeing someone who should have been filled with anger, very happy. After 1000 years of peaceful slumber, Jirachi had once again awoken, and the job of teaching Jirachi to feel negativity was given to Arceus… who had refused several times, demanding that one of her lazy creations do it. She had seen what raising children were like, with all the crying and awkward questioning… and tantrums. Simply put, they raised hell higher than heaven. She remembered what had happened after Jirachi awoke that time and she had been forced to give him the power to feel rage.

Flashback warning

Jirachi: But Groudon, I just want to see if you taste like chicken!

Groudon: Why would I taste like chicken!?

Jirachi: Fake Groudon did…

Groudon: … you ate him

Jirachi: I was hungry, I hadn't eaten in a hundred years! Anyway, I just want a little taste…

Groudon: SWEET ARCEUS, MY TAIL, GET OFF! (shakes)

Jirachi: WAAAHHH! YOU BIG MEANIE, I WISH YOU DIDN'T EXIST!

End Flashback

She had pulled several strings to bring Groudon back from the other world, and he now had whatever phobia included innocent looking creatures. Inconveniently, Raikou had adopted a baby Growlithe the following day. It was the first, and final, time the legendaries had adopted a Pokémon. So they delayed the matter for the next 1000 years, which brings things back to present times. Groudon had whimpered and begged, kneeling at Arceus' feet (he was practically laying on the ground), for her to delay Jirachi's awakening. Alas, the world couldn't go 1000 years without life

She had done what several called foolhardy, and brought Jirachi back to the other legendaries. She regretted it almost immediately, because Jirachi had managed to get alone with Darkrai and learned some things that could have waited a few thousand more years. When Jirachi came to Arceus with some interesting questions on how eggs were made…

Let's just say that that story explains why Darkrai's legs are gone.

Anyhow, today was definitely not a good day.

So, how was it?
