Dear Erma-chan,
I have received your E-mail some time ago, sorry for being so tardy to reply. I've have read it thoroughly and trust your judgment that Legendaries are needed for this assignment.
That said, sadly I cannot send any over. All class Four's still have to stay inside the Hall in case of Absolix or, as you may have heard, Kurades. Not only this, but most of the class Three Legendaries are out on duty. The only two available that I could send you would be Reshiram and Zekrom when they return, but you know how rowdy they can be.
And yes, they did take over Unova, but now Dialga and Rayquaza have the situation under control. We are trying to fix its name change as of my writing this.
However, I have a plan that could potentially work for both of us. I will be sending you some Pokemon approximately one week from now, you will understand it then.
They may not be Legendary yet, but after inspection I am confident that they can get your problem solved.
-Arceus D. Omnirector
Chapter thirty six: Another stupid episode in which Darkrai tries to destroy the world for some stupid reason which leads to yet another misadventure trying to stop him before it's too late because then disastrous consequences would follow. Why is this title so long? Because I can't come up with anything better. Seriously, YOU try doing this crap for three whole arcs. It gets tiring. I think I might quit again. NO ONE LOVES ME! WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE ME? WHY WHY WHY!
*The author has now been sedated. We apologize for any damage he may have done. This is just what happens when he gets off his meds.*
A blue eye opened.
"He's awake!" a voice yelled excitably. Darkrai blinked around, his vision clearing up by the second. Soon he was able to make out his mother, his sister and his brother Palkia.
"Where's Zero!" said Darkrai immediately, wondering what happened to him.
"He is under Kairi's custody." Arceus assured him. "Shortly after you were saved by Mewtwo you fainted on the spot. You've been out for a day."
Darkrai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now that that's all said and done… YOU COMPLETELY BROKE YOR CURFEW!" Arceus yelled loudly with Hyper Voice. "Not only this but you almost got killed because of your disobedience!"
"Yeah, brother isn't too smart." Cresselia smirked.
"HEY YOU BROKE THE CURFEW TOO!" Darkrai argued. But Arceus would have none of it and ignored his comment.
"Your punishment will be decided later. For now, school." Arceus stamped her hoof, signaling the meetings end. Palkia however argued that perhaps Darkrai should stay at home since he had only just woken up from a one day sleep.
"Nonsense! Have you any idea how much school he's missed!" Arceus glared at her son.
"Well but on the other hand that is because he's been fighting a lot of strong enemies. Not to mention an alien invaXion."
"Don't care. He's going to school because he feels fine, right Darkrai!" Arceus asked.
"Actually I'm not feeling so-"
"What was her name? LOPUNNY IS AT SCHOOL DARKRAI!" yelled God.
A Dark Void later and Darkrai had disappeared to Tajiri. Arceus, satisfied, left Darkrai's room and beckoned Palkia and Cresselia to come with her.
"Besides, today is the last day of school."
MEANWHILE AT TAJIRI
"Well… that was an adventure." Gliscor shrugged. Malispite and Mercifond, opposite to him, nodded. Beside them were Gardevoir, Ruby and Gallade.
"Yeah! We kicked Toymans' butt!" Ruby pumped her fist into the air.
"Yeah… where did he go to anyway?" Malispite asked, suspicious. Toyman had mysteriously disappeared after the Zero incident, gone without a trace. All that he left behind was a broken mask.
"Darkrai's going to be disappointed…" Mercifond sighed. Arceus had announced that Zero was captured yesterday as Darkrai slept. She told only a few Pokemon, but the rumors spread like wildfire that a class Two had defeated the feared Zero Misturashi. Unfortunately, somehow along the way, the rumors changed from Darkrai defeating Zero to Pikachu defeating Zero.
"All hail Pikachu!" several girls cheered in the hallway next to theirs.
"Seriously, how did that even happen?" asked Gliscor, confused. This earned shrugs from many.
"Hey, didn't Arceus say that Darkrai would be here for the last day of school?" questioned Gardevoir.
A black wormhole opened up and spat Darkrai out, who collided with a locker. Unfazed, he pried himself from the metal and shouted for Lopunny as loud as he could.
"There he is." Mercifond said.
"YOU." Malispite beckoned.
"YOU!"
And, as per usual, Darkrai and Malispite punched each other as hard as they could in the face. Everyone turned to Mercifond to see how she would react, but by this point the white bat had simply given up on the whole issue.
"Anyway guys, I have an idea to make Lopunny love me!" announced Darkrai.
"By pretending to not be ugly?" chuckled Malispite.
"NO. I'm going to tell her that I was the one who beat Zero! Then she will love me for sure!" announced Darkrai proudly. However, he soon heard the cried of delight about Pikachu beating Zero in the preceding hallway. Questioning this, the others were forced to tell Darkrai of the bad news.
When it was over, a silence overcame Darkrai. Without word, he reached into his red collar and pulled out a cellphone. After dialing some numbers, the call went through.
"Hello?" asked the voice on the other side.
"Hey Mewtwo." Darkrai said calmly, much to the surprise of everyone around him. "I need you to kill somebody."
"Oh boy!" said Mewtwo on the other side. "Do you mind if I do it with lasers or acids? I can go for either one really!"
However, on the other side Arceus voice bellowed that Mewtwo was still grounded. Thus, God used her vast powers of inter-dimensional warping to cease the cell phone connection. "Damn…" Darkrai narrowed his eyes. "I guess I'll have to do it myself."
Arceus' hologram came into view. "Oh by the way, no killing Pokemon today!" it vanished.
"DAMNIT! HOW DARE THAT PIKACHU STEAL MY VICTORY! I SHALL GET REVENGE UPON HIM SOMEHOW!"
"Darkrai, please!" Mercifond blared. "Can we just have a normal school day for once without your antics screwing up everything!"
"She has a point." concurred Gallade. "After all, today is the last day of school."
"Yes." Gardevoir agreed. "After this, we get summer break."
"Oh yeah!" Malispite and Gliscor said. "Looking forward to that!"
Now, many Pokemon would look forward to summer break as an escape from tedious schoolwork. In this however, Darkrai wasn't. Thinking it over quickly, he realized what this starling fact meant. "You mean… I won't be able to see Lopunny for three whole months?"
"…Uh…"
"NOOOO!" Darkrai became so sad that he broke through the brick building, leaving the rest of the group behind. Gliscor attempted to pursue his friend but he was stopped by Mercifond.
"No! It doesn't matter, he'll get over it anyway!" she said angrily. "Let's just attend classes and the after school party. We will NOT get caught up in his ridiculousness! I just want a normal day for once!"
"But sis, you're the Chosen One! Why would you want to be normal after getting those cool powers?" Malispite questioned.
"Because the last time I used my powers I summoned a weirdo with a crush on me!"
"Oh yeah… I'm going to kill him the next time I see him." Malispite growled, remembering Anarchaoss.
"Exactly. And I have a boyfriend anyway…" mumbled the white bat.
"What?" asked Malispite.
"Nothing." She and the rest of the group said in unison. They had to prevent Malispite from learning about Mercifond's secret boyfriend or else Malispite could get violent…
"Well alright… to class then?" Gliscor asked. Leaving Darkrai to his own problems, the group went to their respective classes.
MEANWHILE WITH DARKRAI
Darkrai had turned himself into a shadow, and sat in the abyss of his shade. He was comically crying for his beloved brown haired rabbit, yet he was powerless to prevent summer from happening.
"How can this be…!" Darkrai mumbled. "Why! Why must I be without my one true love for three whole months!"
DUDE, JUST FIND ANOTHER CHICK. IT'S NOT THAT HARD.
"Oh shut up Narrator!" shouted Darkrai. "And just who could I expect to replace her, huh?"
HM… WELL THERE'S ALWAYS GARDEVOIR
"Wha-what!" Darkrai gasped, turning a bit red. "She's my childhood friend! No way!"
GOOD POINT, BESIDES ITS CLEAR THAT SHE BELONGS WITH GALLADE. I TOOK A SNEAK PEEK AT THE AUTHOR'S FOOTNOTES AND THAT APPEARS TO BE WHERE ITS HEADED. MAYBE.
"Really! What does it say about who I end up with?" Darkrai asked eagerly.
HM… I BELIVE IT WAS MALISPITE. YES, IT WAS DEFINITELY MALISPITE.
Darkrai banged his head against the wall. This was by far the worst day of his life- not only was he about to lose his love for three whole months but also the author had decided to pair him with Malispite. Truly, the worst day ever.
However, it wasn't like Darkrai could simple stop time from moving forwards. It was imposs-
Darkrai stopped in mid thought.
"Ha-ha!" a voice suddenly said from within Darkrai's mind. "I, Asmodeus, finally have enough energy to talk to you directly! NOW GIVE ME YOR BODY!"
"No." Darkrai replied. "Anyway, I have a great idea for how to keep Lopunny from going away AND to keep the author make me fall in love with Malispite!"
"That b*tch? Lay it on me."
"I will travel to Temporal Tower and steal the Time Gears from Dialga! From there, I will freeze all of time so that today will never end AND I WILL BE WITH LOPUNNY FOREVER!"
There was a pause.
"That has got to be the second worst self-destructive plan that I have ever heard that will inevitably end in disaster." Asmodeus declared. "I am behind you 100%. DO IT."
"Second worst?"
"Did I mention Absolix was my drinking buddy? Crazy sh*t when he drinks man."
"Oh… I shall go to Temporal Tower immediately!"
"Yeah, and how do you plan to get there? The gateway to Temporal Tower is only open when the planets align. And what are the odds of that-"
Suddenly, the planets aligned perfectly and a beam of yellow light was sent to Earth, the beam created a silvery white gateway that lead to Temporal Tower.
"…"
I KNOW MAN, I KNOW.
"Cresselia, do you know why I am letting you skip school today?"
"Actually no…" Cresselia replied, a bit nervous because her record of perfect attendance was at stake. Arceus had led her up to the library on floor 73, apparently having something important to say.
"It is because I am going to make you an official Legendary."
At this, Cresselia nearly fainted from hearing those words spoken. Her yellow beak was gaped and Cresselia's eyes were widened, gazing at her mom and realizing she was serious. "You're… you're really going to make me a-a Legendary?"
"Maybe." Arceus said. "It all depends on how well you do on the test I am about to present you."
"Test? Bring it on! I'll definitely succeed!" Cresselia said, determined to make her mother proud. Arceus paused, then told her the requirements.
"Creselia, if you pass this test then you will become an official Legendary." Arceus stated. "But should you fail… then you will never become one. Even if another chance arises, should you fail this test you will never become an official Legendary. Is that clear?"
This made the purple swan nervous, but she bucked up and gazed fiercely at her mom. Cresselia would simply have to pass the test- after all she was perfect so no matter what she would not fail.
"Cresselia, your task to become an official Legendary…" Arceus announced in a regal voice.
"Is to implant a seal upon Darkrai that will send him to a different dimension."
Cresselia's smile quickly grew weary. She stared at her mom, who was dead serious. In a hesitant voice, she asked "What?"
"Cresselia… the truth is, we can no longer deal with Darkrai's cursed abilities." Arceus explained. "His nightmares powers grow stronger with each passing day. Not only this, but we cannot risk Asmodeus being revived into this world. Thus, I and the Council have come to an agreement upon the matter.
Using a special seal, we will trap Darkrai in another dimension. He will… be forced to remain there until we can create a cure for his nightmares. I think that we can negate his powers in about twenty years or so…"
"You… are you serious?" Cresselia said, a bead of sweat dripping down her yellow face. "We- We're going to send my brother into another dimension?"
"In order to make sure he can't afflict anyone with nightmares." Arceus concluded. "Don't worry, we know a good dimension full of food and water. He will simply be by himself for about twenty years or so."
Cresselia simply stared at her mother, who sighed. "I know this may seem like a daunting task… but if you succeed, then we will recognize you as an official legendary. If not… well, we'll have to renounce you and think of another way to imprison Darkrai.
I will give you an hour to prepare. Meet me on the ninety ninth floor to receive the seal."
"Hey, where's my sister?" questioned Malispite. They had come out of class only to find that Mercifond was missing. Naturally, Mercifond had told everyone but Malispite where she was going- to see her secret boyfriend one final time before summer began.
"Uh… I don't know…" Gliscor said nervously.
"Um yeah!" Gardevoir agreed. "She's probably not with her secret boyfriend right now!"
"Definitely!" said Gallade, keeping up the charades. Malispite (somehow) bought it. He looked left and right for his sister, but no response. The last school party was in an hour or so, thus Mercifond needed to be found.
"Is she really planning on missing the party?" Malispite growled. "Tch. She probably got lost or something, I should go look-"
Suddenly and without warning, a rip appeared in the fabric of reality. A large white and purple portal tore open space and time and deposited a kneeling figure before the group. The portal disappeared, and the figure stood up its full height. Everyone in the room gasped when they saw who it was.
"Impossible! Future Malispite!"
Indeed, it was Malispite from two weeks into the future. He appeared the same as last time, with battle scars all over his body and one eye missing. He looked at them all, a dead serious look on his face.
"I have traveled back in time to give you all a warning!" said the future brown bat. "At one o-clock today Darkrai is planning on pretty much ending the world! So before then, stop him and his plot!"
Everyone paused.
"…what time is it now?" future Malispite asked.
"Three."
"ARCEUS V****ING DAMN IT! I HATE TIME TRAVEL!" future Malispite yelled angrily. "Damn! That means Darkrai has already begun…!"
"Wh-what do you mean Darkrai is planning on ending the world?" Gardevoir asked, afraid. Seeing as how he had no other choice, future Malispite beckoned them all to sit and told them his story.
On this day in his timeline, Darkrai had decided to steal all of the time gears and place them in temporal tower for the sole purpose of stopping time completely. Why? So that summer never began and he could keep seeing Lopunny.
Blinding by his ambition, Darkrai failed to realize that once time had permanently stopped for all inanimate objects, there was no more sunlight, plants, or even video games to play. Thus the world was heading towards an inevitable demise due to everyone starving.
And also due to lack of Modern Warfare 3.
"Gasp!" Gallade said. "That fiend! Stopping all of time just to be with the woman you love…!"
Gallade paused.
"Actually… I think I'd do the same for Gardevoir."
"DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!" future Malispite shouted at Gallade. "Now look! We need to find Darkrai before he gets-"
"ALL THE TIME GEARS!" Darkrai yelled happily. "After two hours of searching I finally found all the Time Gears!" he said, holding up five glittering green mechanical parts.
"Sick. But what do you do now?"
"Easy." smirked Darkrai. "I'll just ascend the rainbow staircase and put them in the tower. From there, I'll be able to manipulate time however I please! Namely stopping it forever!"
"Mn." said Asmodeus from within Darkrai. "Not that I am not loving this plan, but is it really to get Lopunny? Seems pretty pointless if you ask me."
"What?"
"Dude, she doesn't even know you freaking exist. It would be pointless to say that she would love you after freezing time. Unless of course you make her your b*tch and force her to love you. If so, I'm game for that."
"I would never-!" said Darkrai, horrified.
"Pansy. I told you before- we're beings of darkness. No one could possibly love us unless we forced them to." Asmodeus retorted "Believe me, no one could possibly…"
All of a sudden, for just an instant, Darkrai saw a strange image in his mind. For a split second, he thought he saw a much older looking Gardevoir and Gallade dressed in fancy clothes.
"What was…?"
"That was nothing!" said Asmodeus quickly. "Whatever, do what you want. All I care about is taking you over."
"To Temporal Tower!"
TEMPORAL TOWER
"Alright people, we have to wrap this up as quickly as possible!" said a seviper wearing a director's hat. He and his film crew had already traveled through the rainbow staircase and had reached the top of Temporal Tower.
"I need my actors! Where is Dialga, we need him for this scene!"
"Here I am!" said Dialga, warping to the tower. He had applied actor's makeup on, his skin was dark blue, his grey tones were orange, and overall he had a more fearsome look about him than normal.
"The masking has been applied sir!" said a female Wigglytuff who came in with Dialga.
"Excellent. Dialga, over here!"
Dialga, like most of the Legendaries, had a part time job in addition to being a Legendary. He happened to be a movie actor as well, and after some job applications had finally nailed a part as the main villain in a movie.
"Alright listen quickly because we have to film fast!" said the seviper in a hurry. "This is the final fight of the movie Pokemon Mystery Dungeon- Explorers of Awesomeness. For this part, you will be fighting the main cast as the final villain in the final fight."
"Got it!"
"Now pay attention because this is important! Here is your character: Temporal Tower is all out of whack, so you have become mad with power. I need you act vicious and fight the main cast. Be sure to act really powerful, but don't forget to lose at the last second! You and they can improvise on the fight scene. Think you can do it?"
"Yeah. I can play this role perfectly." said Dialga with confidence.
"Excellent. The fighters will appear shortly up here, we need to go back down and get supplies, but once you see them say your lines and begin to fight them."
"Got it! Wait, who is the main cast this time?" Dialga shouted, but the seviper and his crew hurriedly raced down the steps of the tower, leaving Dialga to himself. The giant blue dinosaur shook off a few vibes of nervous and got himself into 'Primal Mode' as the director once explained it. Soon, Dialga felt sufficiently prepared to 'battle' whoever came up to meet him.
"Why the heck do all rips in the fabric of reality due to the planets' aligning lead to a rainbow staircase?" Malispite asked.
"Because the author is off his meds!" answered his future self. "Less talking more flying! We need to reach the top of Temporal Tower before Darkrai does!"
Luckily after his mistiming, future Malispite had a backup plan to save the world. They would rush to Temporal Tower before Darkrai did and stop him from placing the Time Gears in their slots. There was he, his past self, Gallade, Gardevoir and Gliscor so he figure they could stop Darkrai with relative ease.
"We're almost there, and I don't see Darkrai!" shouted Gliscor "Wait… is that…?"
As soon as they reached the top, they stared in horror. Blocking them from the main pillar of Temporal Tower was Dialga, except he looked extremely furious and more or less insane.
"Wh-wha! Dialga?" Gallade gasped.
"WRRROAAARR!" Dialga gave a mighty yell that shook the heavens. Everyone, future Malispite included, was shocked at how primal Dialga seemed to be.
"SO… YOU HAVE… COME!" Dialga stuttered, apparently having trouble with his sentences. "NO… YOU HAVE COME TO DESTROY… DESTROY ME! DESTROY TIME! I WILL STOP YOU!"
"What! Has he gone insane because Darkrai already put in the time gears?" future Malispite stepped back in fear.
Dialga was legitimately surprised that his little brother's friends were the main cast in this movie. However, their acting was top notch so he had no complaints. "YOU… I WILL NOT… PERMIT… GRAAAHHH!"
"He really is insane…!" future Malispite exclaimed in a tense manner. "We have to beat him to save time and prevent Darkrai's scheme!"
"I WILL… DESTROY YOU!" roared the vicious turned guardian of time. Dialga immediately performed an Earth Power that sent shockwaves of ground at their feet. Luckily the six managed to avoid that attack, with Gallade countering with a Leaf Blade. Dialga barely felt it and blasted Gallade with a Hyper Beam attack, deflected at the last second by the combined efforts of Malispite and future Malispite, who punched it out of the way.
"Crap. I forgot how strong Dialga was…" Malispite said, char marks over his fist. "Hey future me, what are our odds of winning?"
"Extremely low." said his future self dismally. "Dialga is a class Four Legendary. His power is so great that he can warp the fabric of reality itself. On top of that, he's much more experienced than all of us combined."
"GRAAAAAHHH!"
"But…" future Malispite continued. "We have a chance. Thanks to Dialga being out of it, he won't be able to control his power effectively. It's a slim chance that we can win, but it isn't zero…"
"Yeah, we already did that in arc two!" Ruby smiled, pumping her fists.
"…right."
"Stand back everyone! I'll take care of him." Gallade smirked. A massive amount of Energy Potential began to build up around him. Everyone realized what was going on, and quickly got out of the way as Gallade shouted his trump card.
"SWORDS DANCE!"
Blue energy surrounded Gallade's forearms, making them appear much larger and denser. Dialga, surprised, was caught off guard when Gallade charged him with Close Combat.
The green fighting psychic unleashed the strongest Move in his arsenal combined with the greatest Move he knew. Combined, blows of sheer power were delivered to Dialga. He was hit ten times by Gallade, each punch having the impact equivalent of a racecar in afterburner. Dialga found himself flying back on the ground, gasping in pain from Gallade's assault.
Gallade himself cancelled the move after the blows. He had used the two attacks for no more than twenty seconds, but already he was on his knees collapsing from the effort. Dialga himself was surprised that Gallade was able to deliver this much damage to him while he was at 30% power.
'They really have improved, haven't they?' Dialga secretly smiled. 'Well, I have to be dramatic and I can't lose this early… alright, I think they can handle it.'
"GRAH! YOU… YOU…!" yelled 'Primal Dialga, standing back up.
"Give it up Dialga! We need to beat you to save time!" future Malispite yelled.
"I WILL… I WILL SHOW YOU… MY TRUE POWER!" Dialga said, a red and blue seal forming in the diamond on his chest.
"RELEASE COMMAND: FORWARDS REVERSAL!"
The Energy Potential from him burst out like a hurricane. They became swamped in his energy as Dialga removed his seal and raised his power to one hundred percent. At this point shock was on the looks of everyone's face.
This was the true power of a class Four.
"Seal… my… brother…"
Cresselia gazed upon the books her mother had pulled up. They were books on espionage and sealing, no doubt to increase her knowledge on how to handle this situation.
"Cresselia… the truth is, we can no longer deal with Darkrai's cursed abilities. His nightmares powers grow stronger with each passing day. Not only this, but we cannot risk Asmodeus being revived into this world. Thus, I and the Council have come to an agreement upon the matter.
Using a special seal, we will trap Darkrai in another dimension."
She could hardly believe her mother would do such a thing. Yet, it all made sense. Cresselia knew that her brother's nightmare powers were getting stronger. It would only be a matter of time before he was able to infect Pokemon with nightmares just from a single gaze.
Darkrai's uncontrollable nightmare powers would continue to increase. Without meaning, he would hurt everyone around him. This was an undeniable fact. This is why, even though it pained her, Cresselia would perform this duty.
"…brother…
I'm sorry…"
Dialga's time warping powers were indeed immense. Dialga was able to avoid nearly all the damage done to him by leaping forward and backward in time while simultaneously maintaining an attacking front. Malispite and his future self had not given up yet though. They launched combination attacks at the blue and grey dinosaur in a relentless manner, despite the fact that they did not hit him half the time.
"Shouldn't we… you know… help them?" Gardevoir wondered.
"Malispite said he'd do it himself." Gallade shrugged. "Er… himselves?"
"I hate time travel. It's a grammar nightmare." Gliscor noted.
"I just hate water types." Ruby shrugged. "You know, 'cause they're super effective on me."
Everyone stared. By this point, no one decided to point out the obvious fact that Ruby was in fact a psychic type, and not a fire type.
"So… what does Darkrai see in Lopunny anyway?" Gardevoir asked the group. "I mean she's just so…"
Gliscor: "Ignorant?"
Gallade: "Uncaring?"
Ruby: "Brown?"
"Yeah…" Gardevoir titled her head. After thinking it over, the three of them concluded that it was because her ears were big and poofy. Or something.
"But it doesn't matter." Gallade smiled. "Because no matter who Darkrai loves I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU GARDEVOIR!"
"Er… thanks…?"
"MARRY ME!"
Gardevoir blushed and shook her head, proceeding to star off into blank space. As Gliscor and Ruby began talking about something, Gallade's eyes drifted back to his beloved. He noted a solemn look in her eyes, and Gallade could not help but flash back to the battle between Darkrai and Mitsurashi Zero.
Darkrai fought bravely and valiantly to him, and protected all of them, Gardevoir especially, from Zero's powers. Gallade knew this and wondered if there were more enemies stronger than him out there, and if so, Gallade would need to get stronger in order to beat them.
But when Darkrai had succumbed to Zero's mind control, it was Gardevoir who snapped him out of it. And when she did so, her eyes reflected something Gallade had never seen from her before. It was pure faith that Darkrai could win, despite the overwhelming odds.
Gallade looked at her silently, wondering exactly what she thought of his rival.
'Heh, I'm glad I can go almost all out against these guys!' Dialga secretly grinned. 'They really are strong, not to mention surprisingly good at acting… this will be the best fight scene ever!'
Dialga used his signature Move Roar of Time to warp time in order to warp space and time in a gigantic ripple that distorted everything around him. Malispite and his future self used Protect at the same time, but the blast still knocked them back. Injured as they were, they got back up.
"He's a bit weaker than normal…" murmured Malispite.
"Maybe his own insanity is causing him to be less powerful?" his future self pondered. "Malispite, I have an idea. At this point in time you know… that attack, right?"
"If I think I know what you're talking about, yes." grinned the brown colored bat. "I just learned it from Master Dunsparce."
"Good. Combo with me." his future self said. "Demon's Offence!"
"Demon's Offence!" the two bats glowed red with powerful markings that appeared all over their body. "Dialga! It's time to end this!"
'Wait… that must be the cue! Alright, time to lose…' "GRAAH! I WILL… DESTROY YOU!"
As Dialga prepared a Roar of Time in beam format, Malispite and future Malispite prepared their new Moves. They charged up all the energy they had, fists surrounded by a reddish colored fighting energy.
"Let's do it!" future Malispite cried. The two of them zoomed to Dialga, who fired his blue and white colored beam at them. But the two brown bats dodged it with their supreme speed, closing in on opposite sides of the blue dinosaur. "Take this!
"DYNAMICPUNCH!"
Dialga was slammed from both sides by one of the most powerful fighting Moves ever created. The impact was so great that his body contorted to it for a second, the concussive punch delivering so much force that it made him woozy from being hit. With a last dramatic roar, Dialga fell to the ground, pretending to be defeated.
"We… we did it!" Malispite huffed, tired from that last attack. His future self was also extremely tired, but forced himself to stay awake.
"Alright everyone, Dialga's down." he stated. "Now, we wait for Darkrai. We have to stop him no matter what!"
And then Darkrai came and used Dark Void on them by surprise. Because they did not see it coming, they were asleep instantly.
Gallade: (0_0)
Gardevoir: (0_0)
Gliscor: (0_0)
Ruby: (^_^) ?
"HAH! I HAVE NOW PUT MALISPITE AND HIS STUPID FUTURE SELF TO SLEEP!" said their new enemy, Darkrai, with all the Time Gears in his hands. "Now I am going to freeze all of time so Lopunny will fall in love with me!"
'Wait, the final battle isn't over yet? Gasp, what a plot twist!' thought Dialga, still pretending to be fainted.
"Darkrai, we can't let you do this!" Gardevoir cried. "Future Malispite told us that if you do this the world will end!"
"…did he say anything about me and Lopunny being together?"
"Uh… no?" Ruby raised her hand.
"THEN MY PLAN STILL HAS A CHANCE OF SUCCEEDING!"
It had come to this. The final battle to decide the fate of Darkrai's relationship the world. Gardevoir knew she had no choice, but she, Gallade, Ruby and Gliscor would have to take down Darkrai.
Unfortunately they would have to do it quickly, because the chapter was almost over, which meant time was of the essence. Luckily, Gallade had a plan.
"Hey author, can we beat up Darkrai by using pure Bullsh*t?"
"I DON'T CARE ANYMORE!"
And thus, they defeated Darkrai by using pure Bullsh*t. Shut up. I don't care anymore. WHY DOES NO ONE LOVE ME?
"Thank Arceus the author was off his meds today!" Ruby cheered. Darkrai was still moaning on the ground, having been somehow defeated. Gallade walked up to the prince of darkness.
"Darkrai, there's something I have to say to you." the fighting psychic began "I know that you love Lopunny, and I know that you would do anything to gain her affection.
Darkrai, the truth is… I also wanted to use the Time Gears to make Gardevoir fall in love with me. But Darkrai, I realized that neither of us can do that. You see Darkrai, I learned a valuable lesson today: if one freezes time, the world ends. And if the world ends, then your relationship ends with it. Plus, it's downright rude. So Darkrai, please reconsider trying to stop time, because new memories can still be made as long as the world does not end."
"That… was beautiful…" Ruby said, a tear in her eye. Even Gliscor and Gardevoir were crying from Gallade's empathetic speech. Darkrai was moved by Gallade's words, and stood up, smiling and vowing never to try and stop time ever again.
"You're right Gallade… let's all just go home."
LATER WITH DIALGA
"Well, that was awesome." Dialga said cheerfully. "Ah, and there's the director! I bet he's impressed by the last battle of our movie!"
On cue, Seviper in his red director's hat slithered up to Dialga, behind him a Sceptile, Charizard and Feraligatr. "Sorry about that Dialga, it took a bit to film the romance scene leading up to the final battle."
"Yes, because Charizard kept burning my lips." Sceptile glared at her partner.
"Hey, was it my idea to pair together a fire type and a grass type?" retorted the flaming lizard.
"Both of you shut it! We don't much time! We have to film the final battle right now before this dimension closes!" hissed Seviper.
"…wait… I thought we just did the final battle?" Dialga questioned. Seviper looked at him curiously, then noticed the bruises on his skin.
"… you mean you fought someone else!"
"Wait, but that means…!"
"What! Has he gone insane because Darkrai already put in the time gears!"
"Now I am going to freeze all of time to get Lopunny to fall in love with me!"
"THAT WAS ALL REAL?"
Arceus teleported into the library. It was time for Cresselia to tell her plan on how they were going to imprison her brother. Arceus found Cresselia in a short time, her daughter apparently waiting for her arrival.
"Mother…"
"Cresselia, your hour is up. Have you formulated a plan and studied the seal long enough?" Arceus asked.
"…Mother." Cresselia said. "I've made my decision."
"Hm?"
"I refuse your plan."
Arceus narrowed her eyes in response to this. She took a few steps forwards towards her daughter. "What did you say, Cresselia…?"
"I said I refuse to imprison my brother in another dimension!" yelled the pink and yellow swan. "I want no part of this!"
"Fine then. You do realize that I'm just going to have to do it myself, and that you will never become a Legendary, correct?" Arceus asked coldly. "Perhaps this was a bad idea. You're far too young to understand."
"I understand that Darkrai is my brother." Cresselia hissed "I understand that his nightmares abilities are growing, perhaps even more so than you expected. But Darkrai can control them, and above all he is my brother." Cresselia glared at her mother angrily.
"I don't care if I never become a Legendary. And I could care less about you trying to seal away Darkrai. Mother, even if you are a class Five, the current God, I will fight you with every fiber of my being to save Darkrai from you!"
Arceus's eyes remained narrowed. Cresselia was sweating. She naturally understood that her mother would easily punish her. However, Cresselia had a plan- the seal for transferring thought was almost complete. In a few seconds, Cresselia would link herself up with Darkrai and warn him about mother.
Arceus stepped back, sighing. Then, with a virulent energy, she whipped around to face Cresselia and shouted the words "YOU PASS!"
It took almost a full minute for Cresselia to realize something was up.
"…what?"
"You pass! Did you really think I would seal my own son in another dimension!" Arceus laughed.
"WAIT! Then that was all a lie?" Cresselia said, wide eyed.
"Yep~!"
"Mother you…! Why would you do such a thing?" glared an angry Cresselia.
"Because I had to test you." Arceus replied as-a-matter-of-factly. Cresselia was still steaming.
"A test! A test for what exactly?"
"To see if you were ready for a real mission."
At this, Cresselia stopped cold. Did her mother just say…?
"Pack your bags Cresselia! Get your team ready and say your goodbyes!
You're going to Almia!"
-Legendary PKMN Arc Three: "Shadows"-
WELL NOW THAT YOU HAVE TAKEN YOR MEDICATION, DO YOU FEEL ANY BETTER?
Cataclyptic: "Yeah… and more importantly, arc three can get started."
SO WHAT'S ARC THREE GOING TO BE ABOUT?
Cataclyptic: "Well, quite frankly I've run out of ideas. So now I'm just going to rip of other people's ideas until I can think of new ones."
HM. BY THE WAY, I THOUGHT YOU HATED YAOI, SO WHY DOES DARKRAI END UP WITH MALISPITE?
Cataclyptic: "Right… that thing you read wasn't a footnote. It was sent to me by my cousin. And yes, she is a yaoi fan girl."
THAT EXPLAINS A LOT
Cataclyptic: "Yes, yes it does."
SO WHO DOES DARKRAI END UP WITH THEN?
Cataclyptic: "Heheh, well the answer may surprise you. The truth is, Darkrai actually-
