Chapter One: Wrathful Calamity
Narrator POV:
The almighty Arceus, God of All Pokemon, mourned for his people. The human leaders had finally managed to overthrow the power of legendary pokemon. By utilizing Ultra Beasts as well as cloning technology, four humans joined forces to create amalgamations of pokemon, ultra beast, and human. Many legendaries including his favorite sons, Dialga and Palkia, were captured, tortured with experiments, and forced to battle their brethren. Innocent pokemon and humans alike who could not fend for themselves were slaughtered in their wake. The champions of the region had fought back valiantly, but only Red, Sun, & Cynthia had survived. Arceus summoned them along with most of the surviving legendary pokemon into his domain in Spear Pillar. He was currently viewing scenes from the outside world on a large reflective surface on the ceiling. Carnage; Death; Chaos; Betrayal; Hate. What had cause those humans to act this way? Was it Power? Was it Greed? No matter the reason, innocents were paying the price for his laxness.
"I should have foreseen this… I am a pathetic excuse for your leader,"
A large serpentine pokemon and blue-haired figure in a purple shell glided closer to Arceus.
"My lord, please do not say so. Without your guidance, we would have perished long before,"
"Indeed, my lord. We are all still loyal to your holiness,"
Arceus glanced at the two of them, his eyes full of regret.
"Rayquaza… Tapu Fini… Thank you. Now then, on to business. Champions, come forth,"
The three humans nervously stepped forward. Cynthia instantly knelt before him, and the two boys, noticing her demeanor, bowed as well.
"You three are regarded as the strongest amongst your kind. Tell me all that you know of the attackers," Arceus said in a regal voice.
Cynthia responded, "The people who have started this atrocity are the leader of Team Rocket, Giovanni, the leader of Team Galactic, Cyrus, the leader of team Plasma, Ghetsis, and the President of the Aether Foundation, Lusamine. Funded by Giovanni's mob money, they used Ghetsis's DNA splicers to fuse the power of pokemon and Ultra Beasts caught by the Aether foundation to themselves. The final step of their plan was using technology developed by Team Galactic to capture the Legendary Pokemon as Cyrus has done so before on Dialga and Palk-"
"DO NOT MENTION THEM!" Arceus boomed.
The three humans felt a wave of both rage and regret drain their very being. The surrounding legendries looked up in fear. The Alpha Pokemon realized his blunder.
"Forgive me. I have overreacted. I was only reminded of my loss. Please continue…"
Sun slowly glanced up and said, "Using the captured Legendaries as mounts or draining their energy for power, they have conquered nearly all of the regions. As for the new abilities of the team leaders, Lusamine can generate large tentacles to appear out of thin air, Ghetsis can somehow mentally use his DNA splicers on any living being and add that power to himself, Cyrus has temporal abilities, and Giovanni's is still unknown,"
Arceus looked to Red for confirmation, who for his part, stayed silent and nodded.
"Very well. I have a plan, but I will require the aid of four legendaries who are not yet with us… Rayquaza, you will lead one team, Tapu Fini, you will lead the other. Split up and find them. For the good of all pokemon!"
"Right away, my Lord," the two responded in unison.
Mewtwo POV
"...what are you doing, Mew?" I asked.
"Well," she responded in a bossy yet child-like tone, "Since we are in hiding, I thought it would be a good idea to actually get something to properly eat for a change,"
"That, I can understand. My question, is why you are wearing that?"
"The humans call it an apron. I got it along with this food from the remains of New Bark Town," she said in a joyous voice.
I wanted to scold her, but she would do something adorable in return (not that she knows I think she is) and I would just waste energy and time.
"AH SHOOT!" she suddenly yelled.
"Can you please keep it down? This cave that we chose to hide in is not what I would call soundproof. Rouge humans could be anywhere,"
"Sorry… I just forgot that we need a small flame for cooking, and we don't know any fire-type moves,"
I scoffed, "Who needs them?" and used psychic on my weapon. It was a large spoon that was six feet long with a broadsword as the handle. I swung my weapon onto the cave wall dropping a shower of sparks onto a pile of straw. It instantly lit.
"You're the best, Tooie!"
"I hate that nickname…"
A female voice called out, "I think it's quite adorable,"
The two of us instantly turned around ready for battle, but in vain.
"Tapu Fini! You're here!" Mew exclaimed.
"Not just her! We're here too!" Latias and Keldeo said simultaneously.
"That's all good… But why are you here? And more importantly, how did you find us?" I asked. Perhaps they were simply mirages created by the humans. At this point, nothing would surprise me.
"The presence of a legendary is easily detectable by another. Thank Arceus the humans haven't realized that yet. And as for why we are here… the two of you are needed by Lord Arceus,"
Darkrai POV
It was bad enough that I was separated from my sister, Cresselia. But I somehow managed to hide out with the banished legendary himself, Giratina. The two of us were hiding in the Distortion World. Despite being a dark type pokemon, even I wouldn't want to live here. The very air felt unnatural. Giratina, who was in his Origin Form, was constantly checking the various parts of the realm, making sure that no openings to the human world had been created. I was surprised to see him this stressed but I remembered that his brothers were among the captured.
"Someone powerful enough to capture both Dialga and Palkia, is something that very few legendaries, let alone pokemon, can fight," I said.
"Don't I know it. I'm one of the only ones who can. You think I'm in here just to hide from a few mega-evolved humans. I'm here so Father doesn't summon me into battle. The old fool, is willing to risk the lives of the surviving legendries to stop the human uprising with brute force. Hence, why I've been rescuing some of the other legendries,"
With one of his shadow tendrils, he gestured to several other pokemon behind him; Kyurem, Lugia, Celebi, and Deoxys were all present. Suddenly, a loud bang echoed everywhere.
"What was that," I asked.
Giratina glanced at me worriedly.
"Something is trying to break into the Distortion World!"
The bangs repeated from a large crystal in the center of the Distortion World. It glowed a bright white before a familiar green pokemon emerged.
"Giratina, the Lord Arceus demands your presence," Rayquaza demanded.
"I knew it… I won't fight my Father's pointless wars, Rayquaza,"
"My orders were to bring you in. They never specified that you had to be conscious,"
Before I knew it, the two pokemon had faced each other in intimidating stances, preparing for battle.
