Chapter 0: The Sacrifice
AN: Welcome to this Adoption! If you read the summary, this is from Aurorabeam Corporation, and they are an amazing Author! You Rock, Aurora!
It was all started in Kanto National Hospital in Vermillion City. In the hall where waiters usually wait, here we can see two men sitting on the seat, while one is wandering around the hall. The first man is a 25-years-old man with a Pikachu and -surprisingly- Mew on his shoulder. He has a dark chocolate raven hair with a Z trade mark under his eyes. He has white skin. He's wearing red bomber jacket with white lining on the edges, red T-shirt, bright brown jeans and red shoes. He's wearing black Poke-Ball belt that held six of his Poke-Balls, three Poke-balls on the left and the rest is on the right. This man is holding a red hat while wandering around the halls aimlessly like waiting for something.
The second man is a 50-years-old man with white hair and white skin. He's wearing a lab coat, jacket, blue jeans and black formal shoes. The third man is a 25-years-old man with chocolate raven hair and white-chocolate skin. He's wearing blue T-shirt, along with blue jeans and dark blue shoes. Both of these men seem related somehow, judging from their similar looks.
"Oh come on, Red. Sit down, you're going to hurt yourself!" The second man sternly spoke to him. The first man that now known as Red, said, "I can't! I can't wait to see my new child being born!"
"Come on Flame Head, it's not like the room is going somewhere" The third man replied, "You need to wait!"
"Don't call me Flame Head you Blue Ice Cream!" Red insulted back. The third man stood from his seat, then angrily said, "Oh yeah?!"
"Calm down Red, Blue, please don't make any problem in this hospital" The second man spoke to them. Both men huffed with each other, then suddenly, they heard a cry. A baby cry to be exact. Red's head snapped to the door next to him, then said, "Finally!"
Then, the door opened, revealing a nurse on the doorstep, "Red Ketchum?"
"Yes, that's me" Red said with a bright smile. The nurse frowned, then sadly spoke, "The baby is born, but…" she trailed off.
"But?" Red said with confused tone. The nurse snapped from her thoughtful look, then said, "The doctor wants to see you."
Red smiled, "Of course!" He quickly rushed into the room.
Going into the room, he can see various devices that doctor usually uses to do their duty. Red saw his wife, Delia, lying down on her hospital bed with a baby on her hands. She has half of her body covered with a blanket. Delia is silently crying while the doctor is looking at the baby with a sad look.
Red approached them. He asked, "Doctor, what's wrong? Is the baby a boy or a girl?"
The doctor smiled serenely at him, "The baby is a boy, Champion Red" he said. Then, he frowned with a sad look plastered on his face, "However… there's a bad news that you need to know."
Red frown begins to deepen, "What is it?"
The doctor hesitantly replied, "As you can see, the child is a boy and he has successfully borne from your wife's womb. However…" He cleared his throat, "When we start checking his health condition… there is a disease that we have detected."
Red's heart crashed into pieces after hearing that statement. Red promptly sat on the seat, while Mew and Pikachu on his shoulder are staring with shock, "What?" he said in a low tone.
"We've diagnosed an ENM or Early Neonatal Mortality decease in your song" The doctor said with a sad tone, "We are very sorry. Currently, there is no cure for this disease, yet."
"What…" Red gasped with shock, as tears slowly begin to drop on his face, "But that's not possible…" Red recognized the decease. Early Neotanal Mortality is a disease that kills a newborn baby after 7 to 28 days living. It is one of the incurable and rare disease among all newborn babies.
"I am sorry, Mister Ketchum" The doctor said. Suddenly, the nurse whispered something in his ear. The Doctor nodded, he stood and said, "I leave you two with the baby now. I, uh… have something to do."
"But he can't possibly have the disease!" Red shouted desperately, "He's just a baby!"
The doctor gave a sad frown, "I am sorry" With that, he left the place. Red quickly approached the baby and Delia. Red said, "Delia, is that true?"
Delia sniffed, she said, "Yes darling. I saw it when he was diagnosed."
Red sat on the seat, then said, "Why… why is this happening to him? Why is this happening?"
Mew snapped from its shuck. It flew close to the cradled baby, then stared at it. The young baby looked up to it, and squealed in happiness. Mew gave a sad smile, it hugged the baby, then said, "Mew, mew…"
Red perked up. He stared to Mew like he just found a shiny Pokemon, "Mew. Is there a way to heal him?"
Mew blinked. He stared to Red, then nodded, "Mew."
"C-Can you heal my dear baby, please?" Red said between sobs. He has spark of hopes on his head now. Mew frowned, and tilted its head, "Mew, ew…"
"Mew, please, I need you to heal him. He's my only son!" Red said within desperately. Mew sighed, it went to the table and picked up a pen and a paper. It begins writing something on the paper, while Red and Delia staring at them.
"Mew, mew!" It showed them its writing:
There is a way. Early Neonatal Mortality decease is a Life Force decease. This happens when a baby was too rushed being born in a woman's womb, and doesn't have enough time for the baby to generate its own Life Force inside a woman's womb.
To fix this matter, I need to bring him somewhere, where the heavens exist. I, however, cannot be sure if you could come along. I also cannot be sure what kind of consequences when this decision is made.
Red nodded in desperate, "Yes. I take all the consequences, just please, save my young baby!" Mew nodded. It begins writing again, then showed them its writing, "Mew mew."
First, I want you to name him.
Red blinked. He picked the baby from Delia's lap. He stared for a few minutes, then finally said, "Ash" He continued, "Your name will be Ash Ketchum."
Mew nodded. It picked up the young baby with Psychic, then teleported away, leaving the saddened couple alone. Red muttered, "I hope you succeed, Mew."
Mew wasn't a type that like any humans. No, she hated humans for reasons. She hated their arrogance, their pride, their hunger with power, and their life. She hated how they only want to discover things for power.
Even after Mew was captured, she still has the same perception toward humans. In fact, she seems to hate humans, even with more passion. Red and Mew didn't get along at first, but Mew finally force herself to be together with her since… well, she already forgot when.
But now, here she is. She was going to help her trainer that she 'hated' the most. She's now carrying the dying baby on her paws, while flying toward the center of Hall of Origin.
Reaching there, she found two Arceus talking with each other. The rest of Legendary Pokemon is currently off to their own duty, so the Hall of Origin is pretty much empty except the two Alpha Pokemon.
Both Arceus noticed them. The first Arceus is a male Shiny Arceus while next to him is a regular female Arceus. The male Arceus noticed her. He was about to greet her. However, his gaze fell upon the baby on Mew's paws. He asked, "Mew, why did you bring a human here?"
"Well… here's the thing" Mew said as she start explaining her problem. The shiny Arceus frowned in anticipation while the female Arceus has a shocked look. After telling the entire problem, the shiny Arceus spoke, "Hmm… this could be a problem."
"You told us you hate humans, Mew" The female Arceus said with wonder, "what change your mind to save this baby?"
Mew was hesitant to explain them the reason, "Well… I don't know if this is a coherent reason, but… I feel something strange in this boy. Something that seems to soothe my emotion and feeling… and I like it. I just- I don't know what really is inside this human."
"Hmm…" The female Arceus stared to the baby, closely, "This boy shows promise. This boy has potential to become the prophesied Chosen One."
"He does?" Mew and the male Shiny Arceus said with surprise. The female Arceus nodded, "Indeed. We shall not waste this human, he might be the one that is prophesied."
"So… can you heal the boy?" Mew asked them. The shiny Arceus frowned, "Well… Life Force is something that is beyond our hand, but… there is a way."
"How?" Mew quickly asked. The female Arceus spoke, "In order to save the boy, we need to sacrifice someone that is willing to merge with his body, in order for him to regain a new Life Force."
"Looking for someone like that could be hard" Mew muttered. The shiny Arceus spoke, "We will take care of this matter before this child lost his soul. We will not let him die in vain only because some pathetic mortal decease."
"Thank you" Mew said with a bow. The female Arceus spoke, "Now go ahead. Tell your Trainer that we will take this matter in our hands."
Mew nodded. With that, she teleported away from the Hall of Origin along with the baby. The female Arceus sighed, she turned to the male Shiny Arceus, then said, "Is he the one?"
The male shiny Arceus nodded, "Yes, he is the one."
"Looks like there is no other way, huh?" The female Arceus said with a sad tone. The male shiny Arceus nodded, "Indeed. There is no other way, sister."
"Have you really considered this? Are you very sure with this decision?" The female Arceus spoke to him. The male Shiny Arceus nodded, "Yes. He will be perfect. He has a huge prophecy on his shoulder and he needs power in order to achieve it."
"Are you sure?" The female Arceus asked again, uncertain with his decision. The male shiny Arceus nodded, "It is for the Greater Good, for me, for him and for the world."
Going back to the hospital, Mew reappeared again in the hospital room. Delia is now sleeping on her bed while Red is awaiting for their arrival. Professor Oak and Blue are already leaving to their own respective home. Red noticed Mew, he quickly approached her, "Mew, how is it? Is it possible to heal him? Please, Mew. Tell me!" Red wailed to her.
Mew flinched. She gave the baby to Red, then begin writing something on the paper. She showed the paper to him, "Mew mew, ew."
Yes, it is possible to heal him. However, you need to wait for my Lord and Lady to decide his fate.
"Thank Arceus" Red said with a relieved sigh, "But, did they agree to help us?" Red asked her. Mew nodded as an answer.
Red put the baby down on his wife's lap, then he hugged Mew, "Thank you… Mew" He whispered, but enough for Mew to hear it. Mew herself is surprised by the sudden hug. She smiled and pat his back a few times, "Mew…" She muttered.
Four days later, Delia can finally go home with her baby. The doctor told them that they have diagnosed Ash further and ended up with results that he will die in a week, which means he have three days remaining to live after he was born. Red tried to suppress his grief, while putting all his hope and trust to Mew. Mew, meanwhile, spends more of her time in Hall of Origin. Mostly asking requirements to the male shiny Arceus about his decision.
"Have you decided who the host is?" Mew asked him. The male shiny Arceus nodded, "Yes. I will not tell you who will fuse with his body. We will begin the process tomorrow. That is if the baby is still alive."
"The baby can only survive in a week" Mew muttered with a sad sigh, "There are only three days remaining now. I hope you know what you are doing, Lord Arceus" She finished. She begins to float away from the hall. However, the male Shiny Arceus said, "Mew."
Mew stopped. She turned around, and asked "Yes?" She wonders what question this Arceus will throw to her.
"Call me Theos" the shiny male Arceus said. Mew eyes widened, "Excuse me?"
"Call me Theos" The shiny male Arceus –that now known as Theos- repeated. Mew shuttered, "B-But, why are you telling me this?"
"It is better for you to know my actual name before I do this uh… ritual" Theos said with grim, "just… keep my name a secret, okay? I do not wish to have you running around shouting my name in my world, or home."
"O-Okay, Lord Theos" Mew bowed again to him. Then, she flew away.
Mew suddenly teleported in Ketchum's residence in Pallet Town. The place is big. The house took the appearance of a Faux Chateau. It has over 100 feet long, over 50 feet wide and over 60 feet height including the rooftop and second floor. The wall is painted white, with gray rooftop and two chimneys at the center. The window has fixed window model and Kalos (French?) style at the first and second floor, but the attic window is a complete circle. There are over 20 windows, including the attic window. The window itself is 3 feet long and 10 feet tall, including the half-circle window. The attic window is only 4 foot circle length. The front door has gray colored and look typically made of unique wood, since the door looked smoother than normal door. The backdoor has an appearance of a white regular-sized French door, and it leads to the 100 foot square backyard that also have a Garden, Green House and others. The house is facing to the East.
The front yard is over 50 feet wide and 30 feet length. It has a gray road path from two gates with over 3 feet wide. Close to the front door, there is a big white water fountain that takes an appearance of a Pikachu. The Pikachu fountain was looking up while sprouting a water from its mouth down into the fountain border below. Aside from those, there are green grasses across the front yard, with small dome grass style placed close to the black and white road path border. To add the addiction, there are few beautiful flowers and unnoticeable white spots around the garden.
There are many rooms in the Ketchum's residence. The first room is the living room. The living room has two floors connected. It has white wall with a stair that leads to the second floor. The floor is also colored white and made of ceramic, nothing is special with this one. There are three large white bipolar sofas, each are placed to form a sharp U-shape, facing West side of the wall. At the center, there is a large coffee table with dark chocolate wooden frame and glass top surface. Also, there is a 30 inch television attached to the west wall, where they could watch the TV as they please. Also, close to the TV, there are several game consoles like 'PS4' and 'Xbox One' along with their respective stick pad placed on the shelf, which was attached to the wall. There are two large sound system attached on the wall next to the TV. To add the addiction, there is a large beautiful chandelier lamp on the ceiling that took an appearance of a dome. It also colored white in both light and color. There are several typical floor lamp near the stairs, sofas and TV. Those floor lamps have a black metal stand and white topping. This lamp emits orange colored light and usually used at night. There are three doors connected to the living room, one close to the TV, one is at the south-left wall, and one in the east wall. All doors in the house except the front and back door are only simple white door with white color and white-grayish metal door knob. Also, most windows are closed with a green curtain. The air feels pleasant cold, all thanks to the air conditioners.
The Guest Room is pretty much simpler. There are only three sofas, one is a medium-sized white sofas while the rest is a small one. The sofas are placed in U-shape, with some familiar floor lamp and coffee table. This room is connected to the front door and the one that leads to the Living Room. The room also has an air conditioner.
Mew appeared in the Living Room, where Red and Delia are currently sitting on the sofa. Red is reading some magazine while Delia is playing with her new son. When they noticed her, they stopped their activity and stared to the New Species Pokemon.
"So?" Red asked her. Surprisingly, Mew spoke, "They agreed to heal him, but with some condition."
Red and Delia stared at her in shock, "You speak?" Red squealed. Mew nodded, "Telepathy. But that doesn't matter now. Anyway, there are few conditions that you must agree in order for us to heal him."
"What are the conditions?" Red asked her. Mew replied, "First, he will become our Champion. Do you agree with this one?"
"Will it be dangerous?" Delia asked her with concern. Mew nodded, "If you think about fighting villainous organization like what Red does… yeah, I think so."
"What? I can't agree with that one!" Delia said with a sad tone, "I can't risk my baby son having life and death experience!"
"Calm down, dear. We can discuss that matter for a later time" Red said with a soothing tone. Delia calmed down a bit, but still has her guard on. Red gestured Mew to continue. Mew cleared her throat, then said, "The second condition. He will have power that no other humans that could have. He will harness this power to defeat many evil in this world, and bring the balance back where it's supposed to be. Do you agree with this condition?"
"Power? Is it like Aura Power or…" Red trailed off. Mew nodded, "Yes, it is like Aura and Psychic Power. But it'll be more like a Pokemon power, through."
Red nodded, "Well, at least we know that Ash won't fight evil organization without any weapon in his arsenal" He said with joking manner. He took a full-powered glare from his wife. Red flinched, he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, "What is the next condition?" He asked.
"The third condition is more like a side-effect. He will have some of his appearance changed" Mew said unsurely, "He might have different mannerism than what have inherited to him. Lady and Lord Arceus told us that this can be a dangerous way to heal him, because there is no way to reverse the progress…"
"Well, as long as my baby boy doesn't turn into a Pokemon, I'm fine with it" Delia added. Mew nodded, then continued, "The last or not least, he will live in the Hall of Origin among all Legendaries so he can learn how to harness his power for later dates. Don't worry, you can see him often every Sunday."
"Wait, why they want to do that?" Red questioned her. Mew shrugged, "They said they don't want humans to taint their Champion before the time. Also… trainers, these days are allowed to explore outside their hometown at 18, am I right?"
"Yeah, after the latest incident with a pedophile…" Red shuddered. Not wanting to bring up the topic, he changed the subject, "So, what do you mean that we can 'taint' him? Were his parents!" Red said dramatically. Mew sighed, "It is not my decision to put these conditions. We have discussed this many times over, and we only can come up with this condition. Many legendaries disagree to help you, but I managed to convince some of them to agree with. Usually we take on votes… but we ended up with a tie on the opposing legendaries…" Mew trailed off.
Red asked her again, "What do you mean?"
"We hate humans" Mew said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Red wasn't denying it, he could see that most Pokemon has many different views with human. However, Red is curious with their reasons, "Why?"
"Because most human want to capture us for power and fame" Mew said as she stared at Red with hardening glare, "Typically, you."
"W-Well… it was for research reason" Red said with surrendering manner, "I don't really want to capture you for power. I only want to capture you for discovery."
"To make it simple, the less humans know about our existence, the better" Mew said with a defeated sigh, "Anyway, we are getting off-topic here. Do you agree with the conditions? If you do, I will take Ash to Hall of Origin now so we can start healing him."
Mew hummed for some seconds, before snapping her finger, "I almost forgot! He will attend the normal Boarding School in this town when he reaches 10 years old."
"Is that a condition too?" Red curiously said. Mew stared at him with deadpan look, "Your typical dense behavior will get you killed, you know?"
"Sorry" Red quickly said with surrendering manner. Mew sighed, "No, he doesn't have to attend the boarding school, but he HAVE to learn something in this world. We also thought becoming a Pokemon Trainer would suit his liking for a later date, since he would explore the world in later date. Also! You can visit him at the school, if you like."
"I see…" Red muttered. He looked to Delia, then said, "What do you think, Delia?"
Delia stared for some seconds, then sighed, "If it was for my son's survival, then yes. I agree with your condition."
Mew nodded in approval. She looked to Red, expecting him to state his statement. Red sighed, "Well… as long the catch doesn't go off his border, I think we're fine with it."
"Don't worry Red, he'll be fine in our hand" Mew said as she picked Ash up from his mother's lap. The baby squealed in happiness, before yanking the Mew's tail with his small hands. Mew smiled, then said, "Hello young one."
Ash squealed on Mew's paws. Mew used her psychic power to wrap Ash with a blanket. After that, she said, "You can visit him after he reached 8 years old. We cannot afford any bad influences getting over him."
"Wait, that doesn't in the agreement!" Delia cried. Mew sighed, "Well, I almost forgot to tell you this, but… I'll keep you guys informed with our development on Ash every Sunday until he was 8 years old. Is that okay with you?"
Red and Delia we're hesitant. Red finally said, "Okay Mew… I trust you with this one."
Mew smiled and nodded. Suddenly, she said, "Oh yeah, if it is possible for Delia to sire one more child, I believe Ash will be totally over-protective with his brother or sister in later date. That's all, and have a good day."
With that, they disappeared with a blink. Red sighed as he relaxed on his sofa, while Delia looked to Red with saddened look, "Red… did we chose the right decision?" She asked him.
Red sighed, "I don't know Delia… All that matter is the survival of our only son…" Red said as he trailed off, "Have you made a pregnancy check lately?" He suddenly asked her.
"No… why should I?" Delia asked him. Red gave her an expectant look. Remembering what Mew said earlier, Delia gasped, "Oh! I better do Pregnancy Check right now" With that, she hurriedly went to the bathroom.
Red sighed. He picked up the remote control from the table and turned the TV on. He watched the TV for half an hour, before hearing a very loud shriek. Red stumbled down to the floor and cringed slightly at the sudden voice. Getting up slowly, he rubbed his ear after the sudden banshee shriek attacked his eardrum, "What was that?" He asked demandingly.
Then, Delia came out from the bathroom with sheer happiness adored on her face. She showed up a standard pregnancy test stick. It shows two red lines. Delia said, "Red! I'm pregnant again!"
Mew appeared on the Hall of Origin. This time, all Legendaries are present inside the Hall of Origin. The two Arceus is standing at the center of the room, while the rest are standing at the corner, watching them go. Mew floats close to Theos. This said, "Mew, put the boy down to the ground."
Mew obeyed. She slowly and gently put the boy to the floor. Ash opened his eyes, and squealed, making all female legendaries to squeal in adoration. This glared to everyone, quickly shutting them up. Mew looked around, then said, "Umm… Lord Arceus, who will sacrifice for him? I didn't see him anywhere…"
These and female Arceus looked to each other, while the rest of the Legendaries are also asking the same question. Thus sighed, "He will be ready within a minute, Mew" He said.
Mew nodded. She quickly flew to the corner, where the rest of Legendaries are watching. The female Arceus stepped back, as Theos landed in front of the boy. He stared intensely at the boy, then said, "You have many great things that Fate has planned for you, young one. You cannot die now. No, you still have time to live in this world."
Mew thought, 'what is he doing?' everyone in the room except the female Arceus thought the same thing. Some Legendary know that doing this ritual can be dangerous, they hope their Lord and Lady know what they are doing. While some are wondering where and who will be sacrificed for this ritual.
"I have lived for many millennium only to see how this world begins to grow, but also have to see how humans became stranded, arrogant, selfish, and hungry with power. No, you will not become one of them" Theos said with cold tone, "Yes… some Pokemon are hungry with power, there is no denying that. I, myself, always wanting more power than anyone could ever have…"
"However… after many millennia living in this universe, I made mistakes that I cannot recover" Theos said with a sad smile, "It was because of my selfishness -my hunger with power- that power is killing me now. I used to be careful about gaining more power, because I am afraid that I might find the cost more than I am willing to pay. But now… I have failed myself. I have failed my fellow legendaries, and I have failed my own Fate."
Mew already know where this was going. Mew gasped, "No…"
"I know we cannot survive without depending with each other…" Theos's body begin to glow with golden white color, "Then… I shall fuse our body! I have no regret in doing this. We shall become one, united, one soul, one mind, one body, and one power!"
This body begins to glow even brighter. He spoke in strange language, "Εδώ θα ενωθούν με αυτό το αγόρι για την αιωνιότητα. Ένα σώμα, ένα μυαλό, μια ψυχή, ένα αίμα και μια δύναμη. Γι 'αυτό και μίλησα, έτσι θαρρύνουν να είναι αυτό! (1)" Then, slowly but surely, his body begins to ripple and enters the young Ash's body. Everyone held their breath as the aura and body start to merge with the baby's body. Then, a blue and green sphere was all left from where Arceus stood. It slowly approached Ash, then absorbed into his young body. Right after it collided with him, a huge wave of powerful aura exploded on their surroundings, throwing all legendaries off their balance.
After the ritual is completed, there only the baby that is left of the center of the room. However, it was no longer a baby. There, lay a small shiny Arceus with red-blue slit-pupil eyes, instead of a baby. Mew gasped at this, she hoped that Ash turned into a half - Pokemon, not fully into Pokemon.
Many legendaries start to gape at the sudden relevance that just happened in their very own eyes. Then, all hell broke loose.
All Legendaries begin shouting in disagreement, while some are crying for their loss. Mew can only stare with shock, while the female Arceus slowly approached the young shiny Alpha Pokemon. She glared to everyone around the room, then bellowed, "SILENCE!"
Everyone in the room quickly stopped their nonsense ranting. Then, Arceus spoke, "It is my brother's decision to become his vessel! You have NOTHING to do with his own decision!"
"Why would he sacrifice himself for the boy?! How can we know that the boy will not become like one of them?!" Dialga roared. Palkia and Giratina nodded fiercely in agreement. Arceus glared, "I NEVER agree with his decision to sacrifice himself for this boy! However, his decision is already permanent before I can fathom his own decision! I understand his reasoning, but I, myself, still cannot fathom what he was thinking!"
"Then what is our former Lord's reason for sacrificing himself?!" Darkrai roared. Arceus glared at him, then said, "He was caught a diocese where his body is not compatible with the power he have received! You should at least appreciate his decision for not throwing his life all to no purpose for dying! He was too hungry with power, he was blinded by his greed of power and he was paying the price for his own greed! He finally chose to sacrifice himself for the redemption of his own action by saving this innocent young born child!"
Arceus was breathing heavily after her rant. Many legendaries around the room are gasping like a fish, shocked by the truth that she shoved in their ass. After few silencing minutes passed, she said, "This boy is named Ash 'Theos' Ketchum. We will raise this boy in this plane, just like how we agreed on this young boy's Fate. I wish for your participation and I will not tolerate any attempt to murder this boy…" Arceus finished with deathly glare. The legendaries gulped.
"In case you have not noticed, Lord Arceus did not die in this ritual" Arceus declared, making some legendaries confused, "He fused his body with this boy permanently, in order for his body to readjust himself with the malfunctioning power he gained long time ago and for this boy to gain a new Life Force. He has become one with this boy. He has his memories, his power, his body and his blood inside this body. He fused his soul into one of this boy" Arceus glared to everyone in the room, "In any case, this boy is still your Lord. MY beloved brother, in essence. He did not die, only becoming one with a mortal, permanently."
"Everyone except Mew shall leave this room" Arceus declared, "We are done here, for now."
The legendaries left the plane to do their own duty. Mew approached her, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" She said with a sad tone, still grieving her fallen comrade. Arceus gave a sad smile, "He did not wish to see and hear your concern, Mew."
"Will he stay as a Pokemon like this, or…" Mew trailed off as she saw the hatching shiny Arceus begin to glow. Then, it transformed back into a baby. However, she noticed that the red-blue slit-pupil eyes stayed that way. Arceus sighed, "He is no longer a human, nor is a Pokemon. He is something in between… a Hybrid, if you prefer -Half human and Half Shiny Arceus-. After all, Theos did this for the Greater Good" Arceus said with a sad smile, "I can sense my brother's full power in this boy… I wonder how strong he can be when he grows up…" Arceus silently muttered with a smile.
"Greater Good for whom?" Mew asked her, not noticing or hear the matter that Arceus just said. Arceus smiled, then said, "Greater Good for Theos, for you, for me, and for the entire world."
(1) – It was a Greek language. It says "Here I shall unite with this boy for eternity. One body, one mind, one soul, one blood and one power. So I spoke it, so mote it be!"
