Prologue
The time for the meeting that was held once every ten years had come, and as a Centre, Mind was the host.
It was rarely a formal gathering, and everyone greeted each other warmly when they arrived, with a few exceptions. Everyone felt like a huge family after all, so even the ones who had the worst relationships tried to avoid making a fuss. Even the Sun and the Moon had not tried to kill each other yet, and rather, they were coldly and blatantly ignoring each other. Mind was grateful that they could keep their hate contained on a situation like that. And that Life and Death had already arrived, so it would be a little easier to avoid casualties if things ended up getting out of hand.
Mind shook her head and went back into reality. Almost everyone had arrived already and Earth was the last one, who bowed his head at her in acknowledgement. She smiled and went to the frontal part of the table everyone had sit around to.
But she didn't start speaking like she was supposed two. Not all seats were occupied, and that was normal; but two in particular caught her eye. Cosmos and Continent should had come. That was strange, but she knew accidents happened. She felt a little worried, nevertheless. If Cosmos had died, the Sun and the Moon should have suspected something, and they should have told her as soon as possible; and the same thing went for Rock, Ice and Metal.
Mind looked at them and realized they seemed worried as well as confused by their superior's absence. She raised her hand while sending a telepathic message to everyone in the room and asking them to wait a second, and then she teleported next to the trio to talk with them about Continent.
That saved her life.
Barely a second later, more than half of the ceiling collapsed at an incredible speed, almost as if something had hit it, trying to crush the building. Everyone who had being under that side of the roof died, Mind realized; even Life and Death. The surviving attendants stood up instantly after the attack, but then an overwhelming number of legendary pokémon entered the building to finish the job. And over them, Cosmos and Continent were floating, commanding them.
They had planned it, she had realized, but Wisdom did it faster than her and threw a psychic attack towards her. She wanted to protest, to say that she was their Centre and she should fight. But he replied that she was, indeed, their Centre, and she needed to survive. And instant later she was teleported out of the building.
She watched, far, far away, hiding among the trees and transformed as a simple taillow, how the legendary pokémon destroyed the place. Those gathered for the meeting were stronger (and, she didn't doubt it the slightest, furious); but the amount of legendary pokémon was simply too big. She saw them entering the building one after the other until an eerie silence fall around the place. No more explosions, no more shouts, no more roars, no more fire nor thunder.
Nothing.
And then, very slowly, all pokémon retreated, and so did Cosmos and Continent.
Once everything was quiet and she had made sure that no legendary was left, Mind flew towards the collapsed building. She searched and searched, but she didn't find anyone; only dirty puddles, ice, rocks, scraps of metal and several burning logs and patches of flowers and other plants. She stood there, as if she was watching the dead bodies of her friends, even if there were none.
Mind started to cry.
I know that was weird, but this is a pokémon story, believe me.
Also, in this story megaevolutions DON'T exist, nor the seventh generation. As much as I'd like to include an ice ninetales, Solalgeo and Lunala's existence fuck up the plot of this story. So, no seventh generation here, ever.
That said, I hope you like this story I never thought I would write.
