A/N: Happy New Year! Now, I know what some of you may be thinking - 'Really? Another story?' Well, yes. With my new update schedule, I should be able to stay on track... at least, I hope. By the way, you'll be happy to know that for once, Carlos will NOT be in this story. Instead, it's someone else's time to shine! By the way, my update schedule's on my profile page, in case you wanna know when to watch out for updates. Anyways, let's get this show on the road!

Atop a gray stone tower on a stormy night, two figures were locked in an intense duel. The first figure was a gray creature that had a white dress-like torso and arms, a pink crystalline headdress, with a round centerpiece on her forehead. She also had red eyes and a gold crescent around her neck. Below her torso, there was a large gray rock with a pink crystal protruding from it. She was known as the mythical pokémon, Diancie, and fighting her was a darker figure. He was completely black, save for a white plume-like substance coming from his small head and a strange red growth near his neck area. He had blue-greenish eyes, one of which was covered by the white plume. He also had skinny black arms, tatters and claws. It looked like he was wearing a black cloak, but he had no legs. Lastly, his figure resembled that of an hourglass. He was known as the nightmare legendary, Darkrai.

Diancie angrily fired a Diamond Storm at Darkrai, who easily dodged it. "Even slower than last time? Ha! Has the mighty Diancie finally lost her touch?" Darkrai asked mockingly.

"Enough of your games, you fiend!" Diancie shouted as she fired a Moonblast at Darkrai, who simply stood there and took the attack, causing an explosion.

Diancie sighed in relief before collapsing on the ground, panting heavily. The battle had taken a huge toll on her.

"It... It's all... over... Thank goodness..." Diancie said in between breaths. She couldn't take any more. Suddenly, from the smoke, she was hit with a powerful Shadow Ball and sent backwards. Darkrai emerged from the explosion's remains with a smirk.

"N-No... how..." Diancie said, gasping for air.

"Hmph. Tired already? If that's the case, then you aren't even worth my time," Darkrai said as he held out his hand, an overwhelmingly dark aura taking it over.

"Talent Skill: Soul Splitter!" he shouted as the aura became a thin arrow that shot out and went straight through Diancie.

"AAAAAAAHH!" Diancie screamed as the dark energy ate away at her. It literally felt like her soul was being split into pieces. And that's what actually happened. The pain lasted for a full minute before Diancie collapsed.

"Ugh," she grunted as she tried to get up, but she felt significantly weaker. With her decrease in power combined with her battle condition, it took all of her effort just to lift her head up. What she saw shocked her.

Looming over her, trapped in dark orbs produced by Darkrai, were six other versions of Diancie. Instead of pink, each one of them was in the color red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.

Diancie scowled at Darkrai, which only caused more pain for her. "You... monster," she spat.

Darkrai then waved his hand, and the six alternate versions of Diancie disappeared. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of them." Darkrai then charged up a large Shadow Ball in his hand, aiming it straight at Diancie. "You, however, have already served your purpose." The last thing Diancie saw before blacking out was the Shadow Ball knocking her off the tower as her unconscious body was carried by the wind as she fell towards the ground.

Calemunde. The realm in the sky. Once again, it was a peaceful day. The sun was shining bright over the horizon, signaling the near-end of the day. Just another normally peaceful day for the Pokédeities.

...What are Pokédeities, you ask? In truth, no normal Pokémon has ever been able to research them properly. They are barely ever seen down in the land. From what little information people have been able to conclude, they only go there to fight off any evil that may be a threat to the Pokémon living in nearby towns or cities.

Even so... despite their special prowess and high status and divinity, they are all still Pokémon. The only thing that distinguishes them would be a Pokédeity's special abilities and powers. Even so, Pokédeities are not known to interact with Pokémon. In fact, it is quite the opposite. They may be tasked with protecting them from any unknown forces at all costs, but over the years, it has made them grow arrogant and overconfident in themselves. While they all still exist peacefully with their own kind and worship Cresselia, their leader, and even though they still work hard to maintain the peace for Pokémon, they hold strong feelings of resentment towards them. And that rumor has set them for life. Pokémon and Pokédeities were not meant to be friends.

In one of the homes perched atop the clouds, a fennekin was busy crafting something on a wooden bench. It was pink and white, and it had a small, red button in the middle of it. It had a hole in the middle of it, as if it was worn around a leg.

An Energy Armlet. Every Pokédeity had one. It was the symbol of their nobility, not to mention that it was the main source of their divine power.

The fennekin was completely absorbed in her work, only keeping her paws off the strange contraption to occasionally wipe beads of sweat from her forehead. Upon closer inspection, one could see something odd about the vulpine creature.

No surprise there.

All Pokédeities had some kind of discerning appearance to those of their regular Pokémon species. In the Fennekin's case, it was her eyes. Her left eye was a fiery scarlet color, like any other Fennekin would have. Her right eye, however, adorned a sparkling blue color. Like the seas at dusk.

"Anti-matter stabilizer... check. Recharging crystal properties, add the energy capacity hyperdrive, according to the aerodynamic velocity calculations, and... done!" the fennekin said proudly as she slipped the device onto her right hind leg. "All fixed!"

Suddenly, the red button began to flash and emitted a small alarm noise.

The fennekin sighed angrily. "Damn. Now of all times?" she muttered annoyedly as she left the room and exited out of her house.

Once she was outside, she looked both ways before pressing the red button on her device. She closed her eyes as it engulfed her in a pink sphere of light. When the light died down, the fennekin donned pink gloves with white stripes on each of her paws, a gray and pink metal contraption covering her torso area, and glasses made of see-through pink crystal.

The most prominent change visible, however, was the assortment of violet and pink crystal wings that had sprouted from two sockets on her torso armor. She closed her eyes to concentrate, and just like that, the crystallized wings began to flap gently, and the fennekin was lifted off of the ground as she headed to a temple in the center of the city.

As she looked around, she saw many other Pokédeities flying around the city with their powers. She sighed with an annoyed tone. "Can't believe I've got another assignment. This one had better be worth the pay," the fennekin muttered angrily before landing in front of the marble temple.

She retracted her wings before walking up to two escavalier, who were guarding the entrance.

"State your name and business," the first escavalier said bluntly.

"Agent Phosphora, Gold-Ranking member of the PDGA. I am here because I was summoned by the Lady," the fennekin, now known as Phosphora, replied.

"... You may enter," the escavalier said after a while, both of them opening the door and escorting Phosphora to the center of the temple, where a pokémon sat on a small shrine, meditating.

Phosphora bowed. "You called, Lady Cresselia?"

Cresselia opened her eyes and looked at Phosphora. The guards left to get back to guarding the temple's front gate. "Phosphora... I'm so glad you're here. I have... an important matter to discuss with you."

"What's the matter?" Phosphora asked.

"It's Diancie," Cresselia said with concern. "She... I haven't heard from her since she was attacked by Darkrai... I fear that something horrible has happened to her."

"Really? Have you tried search parties?" Phosphora asked.

Cresselia nodded solemnly. "No one has seen her, though... And that is why I have decided to take drastic measures... by summoning a human as a pokémon."

If Phosphora had shown any class before, any trace of it was gone at the mention of those words. "What!? You wanna send a HUMAN here!? And as a damn Pokémon?

"Yes," Cresselia said.

"No! Why a Pokémon!? You know we're better!" Phosphora complained, which did nothing but earn a sigh from Cresselia.

"Phosphora, I understand your, um... history with Pokémon, but it is still our duty to help them," Cresselia told her with a forlorn look on her face. "We all used to live in harmony, you know..."

"But we're not anymore, because Pokémon are dirty, filthy liars!" Phosphora yelled.

"Please... I'm begging you, Phosphora. I want you to guide this human... Do it for Diancie," Cresselia said desperately. It sounded like she was practically begging.

Phosphora glared at the ground for a few seconds before signing in defeat. "Fine, whatever. I'll keep an eye out for him. He'll be on the Segargo area, right?"

"Yes. I wish you luck, and I'll give more details when I learn them," Cresselia said as she watched Phosphora leave.

She sighed. "Now... for the human."

In the human world, a certain human is seen sitting on a chair and typing on a tablet. He appeared to be quite bushed. His apartment was also a mess.

After a few more seconds of typing, he pressed the screen a couple more times before dropping the tablet on his couch and jumping onto his bed in relief.

"F-Finally... Man, so many stories to update... But I'm finally done..." the boy said. Apparently growing tired just by thinking about his work, he instantly drifted to sleep in his bed.

*yawn*... Ohh... Wow, I needed that sleep.

Agreed, young one.

AAAAH! Wh-Who said that!? Wait. Where the heck AM I?

Please do not worry. I mean you no harm.

Uhh... Okay. That doesn't really tell me anything about you, though... In fact, I can't even see you. I-I don't even know what I'm looking at, it's just a bunch of colors.

Oh, of course. Forgive me for the discretion, but we are in a dream sequence. That is the reason for the colors you see. And you cannot see me now. Sorry, but it is straining enough just to talk to you, since we're from different worlds.

Different worlds? Okay, this is getting way too weird.

I suppose this is a proper time for introductions. I am Cresselia, leader of the Pokédeity clan.

Wait, WHAT!? Cresselia? Isn't that a Pokémon? What the heck is a Pokédeity!?

Hmm... I suppose you wouldn't know about these foreign concepts. I wonder, though... Do you know about Pokédeities? Or Pokédemons? How about Pokébelles and Pokésapiens?

Um, with all due respect... What the heck are you talking about!? This is crazy! Am I actually crazy? Huh!? Am I!?

No... You are not. Although in a dream, this is real.

Well... I'll believe that... For now, I guess. But what are all these other things you keep saying.

Right. Allow me to enlighten you on how the world I live in works. You are familiar with Pokémon, right?

Of course. They're creatures with a certain type that can learn four moves at a time, to be basic.

Correct. However, in this world, there are six other races. Besides Pokémon, there are Pokédeities, Pokédemons, Pokébelles, Pokésapiens, Pokédroids and Pokéferals.

Whoa. Um, wow, that's kind of a lot to take in. Can you tell me a bit about them?

Of course. I hope you're ready for quite the history lecture.

Meh. I'm used to it.

Very well, then. I shall start with Pokédeities. Pokédeities, for one, are always born with some kind of genetic mutation, like a unique fur color or eye color. Each one is also given their very own unique Energy Armlet when they are 10, when they are baptized by me in my temple. Once that happens, the Armlet and its wielded are bonded for life, where only they can use it and find it anywhere. The Energy Armlet is how a Pokédeity triggers their transformation, where they grow artificial wings and receive divine powers. In that form, they are far stronger than the average Pokémon, and they take pride in that fact, as they believe that they are superior to Pokémon.

Cool... What about Pokédemons?

Right. Pokédemons... Well, they are essentially the exact opposite of Pokédeities. Their appearance is that of regular Pokémon, except with a... much darkerWhile they possess the desire of evil, insanity and chaos overtaking as many Pokémon as they can, they naturally stay confined to somewhere secluded from the public. Lately, though, that may not be the case.

Wow, that sounds bad. What about the rest?

Before I go on, a question: are you familiar with the concepts of black and white magic?

Of course, I play a ton of Final Fantasy. White magic is magic that centers around healing and supportive properties, while black magic focuses more on offensive magic.

Okay, then that makes this easier to explain. Okay, so Pokébelles are very... feminine creatures. The only and obvious way to distinguish a Pokébelle is if their exterior is completely pink. There are exceptions with eyes and accessories, but other than that, Pokébelles are completely pink. Naturally, a Pokébelle's set of skills revolve around those of white magic. They get along very well with Pokémon. In fact, some might even say that they are a bit... Obsessive. Also a tad on the dim side.

Um... Okay...

Next up are Pokésapiens. Once again, they are considered as the opposite of Pokébelles. You see, Pokésapiens have a specific appearance as well. They are simply shiny Pokémon. Because of this, shiny Pokémon are not legitimately considered Pokémon. They specialize in arts that can correspond to black magic, as in they use special elemental attacks that their species couldn't otherwise learn. They are among the smartest race in our world.

That's amazing...

Next, I will tell you about Pokéferals. Now, upon initial inspection, a Pokéferal looks just like a Pokémon. However, Pokéferals are a lot more battered, even in their peak condition. Also, they are incapable of coherent speech. What separates their skill from others is nothing flashy, but they have particularly ruthless physical attack.

Alright. There's one last race, right?

Yes, the Pokédroids. To be blunt, they are androids, so the best way to tell them apart from regular Pokémon is by their metallic structure. Their unique trait... Instead of health points, they have battery points. I won't go into too much detail, but that should come in handy depending on the situation.

Ow. My head's pounding. But wait. Why exactly are you here, if you don't mind me asking?

Oh, right! It nearly slipped my mind. You see, there's been some... trouble in our world. We need your help. I would like for your permission so I may bring you to this world as a Pokémon.

...

I understand that, coming from a person in the human world, this sort of request would seem preposterous or idiotic, but I would really appreciate your help. Please?

... Well, I can't say that I believe what you're saying completely. In fact, for all I know, this dream is just a stepping stone before I go completely crazy.

Oh... I understand...

But... Someone like you doesn't seem to be the kind of person to lie, so... Sure, why not?

... Thank you, young human. Now, I want you to close your eyes and concentrate to help with the process.

Got it.

Okay then. Now, if you're ready-

Wait. Am I gonna lose my memory?

Well... I may have to erase some vital parts, but I will leave memories of your favorite games and anime and other things like that.

I understand. Okay, then I'm ready.

... Then I wish you the best of luck in your journey... And I promise that we'll meet again.

Okay.

Before the connection is lost, may I ask your name?

... Plasma.
