This is the story of a horrible Absol named Valence who has murdered, tortured, and committed many horrific crimes in his time. At judgment in front of Arceus and Giratina, he is about to get thrown into a world of chaos, and a world of forgiveness. M for safety.
Looking for character suggestions. More information at the end of the chapter.
…It's dark and wet here. Hm… this is a fucked up dream.
"As if it were a dream. Open your eyes!" A loud commanding voice forced Valence's eyes open. He looked around and saw three shapes. He recognized one as the Ralts he had just killed, one as Giratina, and the last one was…
"Lord Arceus, calm your temper." A dark voice asked.
"Silence! This one has killed many innocent, and now yet another child has fallen to him. It serves him right to face judgment!"
Judgment?
"Get UP!" Valence shook his head and stood up. His white fur was very fluffy, much more than recently. His face felt smooth and his horn couldn't detect weather. He was definitely away from the Earth. Valence stood and looked into the red eyes of Arceus that pulsed with anger. Valence was as colder than ice. He didn't bat an eye at the two legendary Pokémon looking down at him. He didn't care that he just killed a newborn Ralts, a girl too. He didn't even think twice. Unfortunately for him, the Gardevoir beat him after he killed her daughter. So he must be meeting his maker now.
"Your excellence." Valence mocked.
"Insolent child!" He fired back. "Look at your sins!" He directed his stare at the quiet Ralts. Valence looked over at the Ralts and shrugged.
"Your highness, what should I feel sorry for again?" Giratina shook his head; he was currently in his Altered Form.
"Arceus, let me handle this. I deal with the tainted." Arceus looked at Giratina sharply and the two seemed to have a mini-mental battle with each other.
"I would just throw him into the abyss!" He shot his look again at Valence.
"Keep beefing Prince Arceus." He laughed.
"ENOUGH, Absol." Giratina motioned for Arceus to go. "And I have permission to do as I wish with this one?"
"I want you to make him suffer." Arceus requested. "If you do that least that, I will turn his punishment over to you." Giratina bowed his head.
"It shall be done." Arceus vanished in a white flash and he then fixated his gaze onto Valence. "So, you have quite the track record."
"I try, thanks." Valence bowed. In truth, he had been a fan of the reverse world myths and why it was made. Now it seemed to be real, and he was okay with that.
"Mhmm." Valence didn't expect him to approve. "I do enjoy some old-fashioned mayhem, but you exceed expectations to get into the reverse world." Valence shifted. "So I'll run through afterlife procedure and we can just get to the part you are waiting for."
"Mmm… You aren't uptight are you?" Giratina gave a dark chuckle.
"Well I do love some violence. After all, that IS why Arceus isn't too happy with me. He banished me for my violence." Valence nodded. "So before we begin, you are aware that your choices hurt and killed others, correct?"
"Yes."
"You knew you what you were doing, nobody forced you, nobody blackmailed you?"
"Never. I voluntarily did all those things." Valence confirmed.
"So we have to show you each of the Pokémon you killed, and what they were before you killed them. First up, you killed a wondering Eevee looking for food near your home. He was an orphan, about one year old and always wished to be a Sylveon."
"Yeah I remember him. I almost spared him, but he just wouldn't stop attacking, so I killed him." Giratina shrugged and an Eevee appeared in front of him. "Hmm, yeah that's him."
"It's you." The Eevee said. "I've wandered that forsaken Cliffside since you killed me. I've was never laid to rest."
"Yep. I left you to die alone."
"Well… I can see you are just as bad as I thought." The Eevee sighed. "I really wish I could've showed you whatever your past you can still do good."
"Some Pokémon are bad at birth." He retorted. The Eevee's expression hardened.
"Stop lying to yourself." Then his image vanished. Valence was caught off guard from his talk back and shook his head.
"Then there was the mother of three you killed. That was a… what again?"
"Oh yeah, the Roserade?"
"Yes that one." The image of a Roserade appeared and opened her eyes for the first time in a while.
"I haven't been able to sleep for years…" She squinted at Valence. "I know you…"
"I killed you." He said casually.
"But that I don't mind. I would actually like to thank you." Valence frowned. "Because of my death my children grew up to be responsible. My daughter actually became part of a Champion's team. So… I can forgive you." The image vanished and Valence looked at his feet.
"Do you see what I'm getting at?" Giratina asked. Valence shrugged.
"Nope." He sighed.
"Then the most recent was this Ralts." He walked over and lowered his head. "Hey buddy."
"…where's my mom?" Giratina looked at Valence.
"I got killed by her." He said walking in front of her. "But I killed you first." The Ralts seemed relieved. "You look happy." He frowned.
"Well of course! You let my mother live." Giratina tapped Valence's shoulder.
"Do you understand yet?" Valence sighed and shook his head.
"That this is some divine second chance?" Giratina sighed and shook his head.
"Moreover a punishment within a second chance. You don't care, or know it, but that Eevee shook you up, and you believed for a split second you had an ounce of goodness in your soul." Valence opened his mouth to retort but was stopped. "And you can't tell me I'm wrong because I have god-like powers." Valence pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head.
"So what are you thinking Giratina?" The ghost-dragon type answered.
"Among other heinous acts you committed to many other Pokémon, these Pokémon are the worst of your crimes. For that, I am willing to experiment on your soul. I will reincarnate you and put you in a position to take care of those you have harmed." He started to vanish. "Know it or not, you will play a big part in the years to come, and I want you to be prepared. Good luck." Then Valence groaned and blinked. In a flash he was back in his wide cave and he seemed to be just fine.
"Do not fail me, Valence. I took a huge risk, one that could destroy the world. Do. Not. Let. Me. Down." He heard Arceus' voice in his head. "Your job is to take in the suffering Pokémon you encounter each week. If you kill them, we will not grace you with paradise or suffering, but eternal life to watch the last of life die out around you." Valence shivered and just nodded.
"This isn't what I wanted my death to be…" Valence groaned before retreating to his sleeping area. He thought his life and with it, challenges were over, but he was sadly mistaken.
So, if you've made it this far and have a character that you believe could fit into the story, don't hesitate to PM me or let in a review. I need as follows:
Name
Species of Pokemon/or human I suppose.
Male/Female
Age (optional)
Personality
History (can be good/bad)
Anything they fear/hate
Interested in...? (optional, but would be liked)
Relationship with...? (optional)
Unique qualities/interests/skills (i.e. Bob the Bidoof can fight using his derpy face and massive face. He is undefeated because nobody can survive the dreaded "Derp Attack.") Okay, no hate to Bidoof though *cough*

Thanks all, you are all awesome people.
