Pokeology Book Two
Epilog
Disclaimers: T-Force belongs to Stinkfly3 and I do not own Ben Ten or Total Drama Island.
Its been two weeks since me and team left Earth for Vice Versa, home world of Pokemon, with T-Force. After learning about how my biological father is the Legendary Pokemon Arceus, and how we are now staying at T-Force Vice Versa base, I hope, I just hope… I can met my father… and learn more about who I truly am…
[Location: T-Force Vice Versa Base]
T-Force's Vice Versa base was much larger then their Earth base. It reminded Ben of a roman villa, complete with a mess hall, bath house, and library. It was set on the cliffs of a rocky outcropping that overlooked a beautiful crescent moon shaped bay that contained crystal clear blue waters and reefs.
Speaking of which, Ben Tennyson was currently in the library, scanning his eye over a few leather-bound books before he found the one he was looking for. He reached for it as he then walked over towards the table in the room.
[Recommended Background Music: The Dragon Book by John Powell]
He wiped off some dust on the book, as it was very old. It was leather bound with gilded silver detailing. On the cover it had the etchings of all the currently known Legendary Pokemon in the center. In Pokemon footprint runes, it read " The Book of Legends" and Ben began to skim through the pages of it, searching for something.
He then stopped at one page, the page he was looking for:
"Arceus, creator of Earth and the human race. One of the most powerful Legendary Pokemon in existence. It rumored every one hundred years it attempst to impregnant a human female that will bear him an heir. None of his previous heirs have survived from birth, either still born or killed upon moment of being born. It is unwise to anger this Pokemon or deceive for he has a sharp memory and will hunt you down. He resides in The Hall of Origins. Only the heir of Arceus is allowed to enter this sacred sight. Those who attempt to defile this site or capture Arceus are often missing soon afterword.. Do not challenge this Pokemon, as it is considered suicidal to do so. However, he rewards those who protect this planet and treat it kindness with plentiful resources and good fortune and in turn protects them." Ben read from the "The Book of Legends". " In ancient times people would hold ceremonies honoring this god Pokemon to bring forth good harvests and a year without conflict. At the same time they hoped for an heir of his to be born in their tribe that will bring protection and unit the warring kingdoms of old." Ben read further.
He looked out the window of the library, across the bay, to see the Hall of Origins draped in mist, as great black storm clouds billowed and hid the temple from prying eyes across the bay. Thunder rolled and lightning roared as if protecting the Hall of Origins like a mighty guardian. Several Murkcrow cawed in fright as a massive lightning bolt struck near the entrance of the temple, as they flew for cover. Rain began to pour like hail stones as they pelted the stone walkway.
"Ben, I made you a berry smoothie...what are you reading?' Julie asked as she walked over towards her boyfriend, holding a glass cup filled with a blue-colored liquid. Hearing her voice, Ben looked up at her as he explained " I'm reading a book..." "You reading? The last time I saw you read anything was a magazine article about that young actress you were dating once your identity was revealed." Julie said with a smirk as Ben glared up at her. " Hey I was under pressure! Plus she really wasn't my type after I thought about it." Ben responded as Julie sniggered a bit. "Anyway, what are you reading Ben?" Julie asked as she pointed to The Book of Legends. " I was doing some research on my father Arceus...During our stay here on Vice Versa, I plan to travel to The Hall of Origins. .."
Julie looked at him in shock, her eyes widening at what he said. " Ben, you know that only..."
" I am his son, Am I not? So that means I am allowed into his temple." Ben reminded his girlfriend.
" You know how I feel about you going on solo missions, I get worried sick half of the time..." Julie said with a worried tone.
" I know Julie, I know." Ben said as he wrapped an arm around Julie to reassure her.
" You two better get some rest, we're meeting Queen Samantha tomorrow at the Royal Chu Palace. And CCSS plans to do an interview with you Ben." Field the Torterra said to the hero.
" CCSS?" Who are they?" Ben asked Field, curiosity peaked.
" CCSS is a news organization here on Vice Versa that delivers the daily news and updates of stories the Pokemon here are into." Field explained.
" Anyway, you two should go to your sleeping quarters soon, we have a busy day ahead of ourselves tomorrow. " Field reminded the couple as he lumbered down the hallway towards his and the rest of his team's sleeping quarters. Ben looked back out the window, seeing that the sun had already set below the horizon and the current of nightfall had already fallen, the sky glittering with the light of billions of stars, the sky being reflected in the bay's waters. That view was soon shrouded by the storm clouds as the violent tempest headed towards the other side of the coast.
"That storm out there looks real nasty." Julie commented as she shivered as a cold gust of wind swept through the base. "Don't worry, I'll keep you warm." Ben said with a grin as Julie rolled her eyes and mumbled something about men as the couple walked down towards there quarters for the night, unaware of the storm's warning message as thunder rolled, the faint sounds of battle could be heard if one listened hard enough...
