Chapter 2: The True Harmony of the Aria Forme
(Before we continue, just wanna give you a reminder since Meloetta's thoughts are italicized, sounds will look like THIS. Get it? Got it? Good! Enjoy!)
As I traveled through hyperspace, I was just crying to myself. How could we have been so careless about the possible consequences of destroying the Reveal Glass? If we would've known that Genesect was somewhere within the territory, we could've prevented it, but it's too late. That monstrous Pokémon is currently causing chaos all over Unova and it's only up to me to stop it, but with Arceus not giving me an answer as to what exactly this mysterious new power is, I'm left with so many questions. For now, however, wherever this hyperspace trip takes me, I'm sure to find a reliable source that can help me figure out what this power is and how I can use it.
Meanwhile, in Tokyo, Japan…
After twenty-two years since the birth of the Totanuki Triplets, Ibuki and her family have never been more famous than ever. The triplets, Dyvo Sairoko Totanuki, Zari Flakyss Totanuki, and Jaymes Thompson Totanuki, just graduated from college with top honors in their own fields of the samurai and ninjutsu respectively. With Dyvo and Zari, they were the best samurai warriors Japan has ever seen, thanks to the teachings of both their father, Tommy, and their Grandmother Karthaji. At their heights and weights of 6 feet, 8 inches and 325 pounds for Dyvo and 6 feet and 9 inches and 370 pounds for Zari, their skills with the titanium swords couldn't be matched by anyone who stood in their way and mostly robbers were literally sliced down to nothing at every encounter with the two aspiring brothers.
As for the youngest triplet, Jaymes, he was the tallest and strongest among the three, at his extremely massive height and weight of 7 feet and 5 inches tall and 560 pounds. Despite those huge statistics, he was also the fastest, thanks to his ninjutsu lessons personally taught by none other than Ibuki herself. Her promise to only use her Grandmaster skills of the ninja for teaching and protection was in full bloom and never, ever allowed it to fade away. Just like with Zari and Dyvo's skills, Jaymes' impressive ninja skills couldn't be caught. He literally aced each and every one of his famous Mother's teachings as if he already knew how to do it before and it impressed her so much that she literally cried happy tears every time she saw her youngest son perform incredible feats with his older brothers. Practically nothing… could take down the most unstoppable team of warriors!
In addition with the brothers' skills, however, they were also local hotties. With their rock hard muscled bodies, they were never too far away from many young women, ranging in ages from 21 to 25… especially with Jaymes. Being the strongest and the tallest while also rocking Ibuki's signature hairstyle with his golden brown hair and two of the biggest and sickest purple and black identical dragon tattoos drawn on his arms, shoulders, upper back, and pecs, he was dubbed the Sexiest Man in the World at this rate! Dyvo was jealous enough as it is, given the fact that he looks like a combination of both Tommy and Ibuki. Zari wasn't jealous, since he was given the title 'The Twin of an Only Child', due to the fact that he looked just like his Father. As for Jaymes, his sex appeal mostly comes from both his body and his face, which looks just like Ibuki… and he's just as adorable as Ibuki in the face, except for his odd eye color scheme of having Tommy's bright neon green eye on his left and Ibuki's chocolate brown eye on his right. In fact, those eyes made him the living representation of how close Tommy and Ibuki really are towards each other!
Now, on this fateful Saturday afternoon, the entire Totanuki family are spending another day together at the newest shopping mall in the big city: SilverDragon Mall. They just finished running a few separate errands and were now relaxing for a delicious lunch at the food court, where the triplets gathered all their attention, as usual, while the parents, Tommy and Ibuki, sat at a table by themselves and watched them take in all those ladies' touches, due to the fact that Dyvo and Zari were wearing brown leather vests and baby blue baggy jeans with expensive purple and white sneakers while Jaymes was completely shirtless with his black baggy jeans and purple and black sneakers. While the parents were watching, Ibuki had to say it with her usual Valley Girlish humor.
"They're gaining more attention than we did when we first had Snow." She started with a sarcastic look in her glowing brown eyes. Tommy couldn't help but chuckle as he kept his green eyes focused on his boys as well.
"Well, it's no wonder I ain't so surprised." Tommy quoted smoothly as he just took in another bite of his grilled chicken flatbread sandwich. "Besides, just look at 'em, Sexy-buki. They all pretty much take after me the most in the muscle department."
"Ain't it the truth?! Jaymes got it really bad, though! Damn! Makes me wish he wasn't my son, ya know!"
"Damn right, baby. You paid for both of those tattoos, too."
"I know, but I feel good about it. They've given him the confidence and strength of the almighty dragon. I just… only hope they don't give him the power of my Hashinfury Dragon Strike. That's the only thing I haven't taught him and I never will."
"Why not, Ibuki-baby? He'll be unstoppable!"
"He already is. That strike could cause more damage to the user if it isn't used properly. Until he's ready to use it, I'm not teaching him."
"A'ight… if you say so…"
As for the Totanuki Triplets…
"Easy, easy, ladies." Dyvo started in a comedic male voice with a small hint of handsome on the side. "You're making our Dad look bad."
"Oh, you know we mean well, Dyvo." A young blonde haired woman with blue eyes reassured in a sweet voice as she continued her sensual massage on his abs and chest with four other women. "Besides, your Dad's the inspiration behind all this… sexy muscle you three got, right?"
"Yeah, I guess you're right. Don't you guys agree?"
"Of course, we do." Zari and Jaymes replied together, having Jaymes' sexy voice being ten times deeper as he continued by saying: "The only difference is our choice of skills."
"Oh, totally." Another girl agreed in a dreamy tone as she was gently stroking Jaymes' tattoo on his left arm with another woman. "I keep hearing rumors that you're the true son of Ibuki. Is that true?"
"Well, technically speaking, yes. Since I have chosen the path my Mother has been forced to take from her infancy, I really am the true son of Grandmaster Ibuki. I shall be honored to take her place, if she were to pass away with old age."
"Awwwww, that's so sweet."
"It sure is." Ibuki whispered from her table with tears of pure joy streaming down her cheeks, making Tommy hold her right hand with loads of love. "I would be honored to crown him as my successor as well."
Back at the triplets and the swooning women…
"Zari, how does it feel to be called The Twin of an Only Child?" A Chinese woman asked.
"It feels great." Zari replied with pride. "Sometimes, just for fun, my Dad and I would switch roles around the house, since we look that much alike. It's too funny!"
"Tee-hee-hee! I can imagine!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure, get it outta ya system!" Dyvo taunted with annoyance as he crossed his massive arms, making the ladies around him sigh even louder. "I fall for it every time, too, damn it!"
"So does Mom." Zari added. "Don't you start feeling stupid, Dyvo."
"Humph! Too late." Hearing this made everyone around the triplets, except Dyvo, bust out laughing hysterically for the next sixty seconds. After the laughter slowed down, a janitor ran up to the three boys in a state of panic, alerting the three immediately as they stood up carefully to avoid pushing off the attractive ladies around them. The American janitor was short compared to them, but that never stopped him as he spoke.
"Excuse me, but are you the famous Totanuki Dragon Warriors?" He asked in a normal male voice for a man in his thirties. This also got Tommy and Ibuki on high alert as they listened well from their table.
"Yeah, we are." Dyvo replied as he stood between Zari and Jaymes, being on his left and right side respectively. "What's the matter?"
"I was taking out some trash and was about to put it in the dumpster, but right when I opened the lid, a strange colorful beam of light shot out from the brick wall to my right side and a mysterious figure landed right in the trash after the beam was shot. I didn't get a good look at the figure, but it looked feminine."
"Hmmm…"
"Did the beam harm you?" Jaymes asked with strong observation in his extremely deep voice.
"No, I never touched that beam or the figure. I just saw it land and that's when I ran off to get you guys. Maybe you three can investigate, since I'm too short and I hate rummaging through garbage."
"You can count on us, kind sir!" Dyvo announced. "C'mon, boys! Let's go check it out! Lead the way."
"That goes for your parents, too." Tommy and Ibuki approached their triplets right after that was said and kept their determined faces in check. "Okay! Follow me!"
A few seconds later, in the back of the mall in an alley…
"The figure's in here." The same janitor announced as he and the entire Totanuki family approached the huge green dumpster. "Be careful. I have no idea what's in there, but like I said, it looks feminine."
"I'll take a look at this." Dyvo came in with bravery as he approached the dumpster and opened the lid with one hand. When he looked inside, he was… confused. "What the…?"
"What is it, Dyvo?" Tommy asked with concern.
"Hold on." Dyvo paused as he jumped inside and kneeled down towards the mysterious pure white skinned feminine creature.
I… I hear voices. Where in Arceus' name did I land in? I'm too exhausted to open my eyes.
"Let me take a closer look." Dyvo continued as he carefully turned her around to see a female figure at a height of 6 feet and 9 inches with long bright green silky hair that was probably as long as about 75 percent of her height. She also had a permanently attached headset that looked much like a stylized treble clef on her right side of her head, precisely where her long green hair starts. She also had a baby blue jewel in the middle of her forehead held on by a black band around the rest of her forehead, underneath her hair. Finally, she also had thin eyebrows in the same green color as her hair, but since she was unconscious, her eye color couldn't be seen yet. Overall, she was just downright… gorgeous… even with the absence of feet on her long… beautiful… silky smooth legs! "…SWEET JESUS!"
"What is it, man?!" Zari asked as he peeked in, seeing the same woman-like creature before his older brother. "Whoa! Who the hell is that?!"
"I have no idea, but goddamn! She's sexy!"
Wh… what? What are they saying? I'm… sexy? Hmmm…
"Etta…?" The woman whispered in a peaceful angelic voice as she slowly opened her glowing baby blue eyes and grew startled by the time she saw Dyvo. "MELOE!"
SLAP!
"AAAAAH, SHIT!" Dyvo screamed as he felt an invisible force slap him across his face, which knocked him backwards and made him land on his ass in the trash. "What the fuck was that?!"
"Whoa…" Tommy muttered as he looked inside with Ibuki next to him. "…that was kinda strange. I think she just used her mind to slap the living shit outta you."
"What did I do?!"
You scared me. That's what you did!
"You probably scared her." Jaymes came in as he took a graceful leap inside the trash heap before he helped his eldest brother to his feet. "You do have a dry face."
"Man, shut the hell up!" Dyvo scolded before he hopped out of the dumpster with a red left cheek. Jaymes turned towards the frightened woman, who had her C-cup sized breasts covered with her slender hands, which had blue nail polish, as she fearfully retreated to the very back of the huge bin while Jaymes continued to slowly ease toward her with precision. "Ugh! Somebody get me an ice pack for this bruise!"
Who are these people? What do they want with me… and what the…? Are these… breasts… on my chest? Where did these come from?
"It's gonna be okay." Jaymes reassured as he slowly approached the woman, who started to shiver a little as he got closer, but slowed down her shaking as she saw his eyes, making her look curious. "We're not gonna hurt you. Here…" Jaymes paused as he held out a huge hand to her and she just stared at it for a quick five seconds before she looked up at him, seeing the whole tattoo on his whole right arm as well as his other arm. "…let me help you. I promise we're not gonna give you any harm, okay?"
Who is this man? His eyes look strange and his voice… he sounds like Ridley… only deeper and… sexier. And his tattoos… they actually look really cool. They almost look like a pair of purple and black Gyarados aiming for the man's heart… and yet, I feel a strong positive vibe from him. I can't quite make out the reason why, though. And his hair… it shines like the sun, but flows like a pair of Ekans. I like him.
"Meloetta?" She asked. Jaymes looked confused and this startled her. "Loetta…"
Oh, no! He can't understand me. I just asked him what his name was. Awww, I really wanna talk to him.
"What did she just say?" The janitor asked with a just-as-confused look in his eyes.
"I have no idea." Jaymes replied as the woman finally grabbed his hand and she was gently pulled to her 'feet' with one of her arms still covering her breasts, since she had no idea about the rest of her nakedness. "But, she sounds cute."
"And she just looks so serene." Ibuki added as she hopped in next with a giant blanket she just happened to pull out of her backpack. "Here." She paused as she handed the blanket to her youngest, but tallest triplet son. "Put this around her body and let's carry her outta here. We'll take her home and figure all of this out."
Several minutes later, on the silent walk back to the Totanuki Mansion…
Tommy and Ibuki were leading the way home, having Tommy carry all six shopping bags, while the triplets were walking together in perfect harmony, having Dyvo on the left side of the line, Zari in the middle, and Jaymes on the right, who was carrying the mysterious, but elegant woman piggy-back style with the blanket still covering her nude pure white body. He made a cool smirk as he felt her soft hands hold on to him by his hard pecs and he never blushed. He was actually enjoying this feeling, but kept quiet as the family continued to walk home.
I was right about this man being gentle. He doesn't even know my name yet, but still… I can feel it right there in his strong chest. He's got a big heart and it's pumping its hardest, like a bass drum. He's a lot stronger than I expected as well. This makes me wonder. Hmmm… Does this man have any weaknesses? I guess I'll find out eventually. In the meantime, he looks like he could use more of this massage, especially since he's sweaty.
A few more minutes later, at the Totanuki Mansion…
Jaymes just gently laid the graceful woman down on her back on the couch in the living room with the blanket still covering her fully nude body while the rest of the family gathered around, minus the pets of the house, Don and Snow, who were still asleep in Tommy and Ibuki's room on the second floor. Jaymes made more space for the family behind him by kneeling down closer to the mysterious woman. She looked at the family with a curious gleam in her eyes, finally realizing that these people were friendly.
They all seem nice to me now. I'm guessing that woman with the same ponytail hairstyle as this brave man before me is the ringleader of the group. I better get myself decent so I can take this hot cover off me.
Seconds after she got comfortable, the woman started glowing a brighter white around her body under the covers for a good three seconds before the same light disappeared again and she slowly pulled off the cover to reveal that she was magically dressed in a silky black dress with a green stripe around her midsection with a sexy slit on the right side and the sleeves covered both of her arms, leaving her hands free with one piece of the fabric between her middle and ring finger. This astonished the family as she sat up and just sat there with her smooth legs crossed, looking regal towards them.
"Whoa, dude…" Dyvo muttered, still holding an ice cold rag against his bruise on his face. "…that was actually quite nice."
"Yeah." Ibuki agreed with a smile. "Where do you suppose she came from?"
"Who knows?" Tommy replied. "All I know is… she ain't human."
"No kidding. Do you understand us?"
I wanna say yes, but since they can't understand me…
The woman nodded in response with a sweet smile. Seeing this made Jaymes smile his cutest as he spoke.
"It seems like she can understand us, but we can't translate her strange language just yet." The youngest triplet quoted professionally.
"I wonder what this is on the right side of her head." Zari came in as he slowly reached for the stylized treble clef headset and slightly pulled it, giving her a small twinge of pain.
"Meloe!" She screeched before Zari reacted quickly and released her, allowing her to rub it for relief.
OW! Don't pull that! That's part of my body! I guess these people really don't know me.
"Oops!" Zari exclaimed as he just released her. "Sorry about that. I guess that's part of her body."
"Weird." Dyvo commented. "It looks so much like the same kind of headset singers use on stage. Could she be a part-time musician or something?"
No, I'm a Melody Pokémon. I… still have no idea what I look like, though.
"She looks familiar, now that I took a good look at her." Ibuki came in as she got a little closer. "What's your name?"
"Meloetta." The woman replied in her elegant voice. This left the boys, except Jaymes, and Ibuki confused. Jaymes miraculously translated it at last.
"She said her name is Meloetta." Jaymes quoted for the woman, who popped open her eyes to the widest diameter with extreme astonishment.
(Gasp) He can understand me now? Amazing! This man must have brains as well as all that brawn. Oooooh! I'm starting to like him even more. I just need to hear his name and maybe I'll start talking more.
"Meloetta?" Tommy and the two older triplets asked in unison. Ibuki smiled at her youngest son for that observation.
"Oh, you show-off." Ibuki said with humor as she patted Jaymes on his left shoulder with a proud smile. "That's a pretty name. You can understand her?"
"Somehow, as she said her name, I saw through the mysteries of her language and was able to crack the code and decipher it to English in my brain and my brain only." Jaymes replied in his usual deep expert tone again.
"So, in other words… and as of this moment, every time she speaks, she's speaking in English towards you alone while we still can't understand her." Zari guessed. Jaymes nodded in response. "Well, holy hot damn! That's impressive."
Impressive indeed. So, since that's the case, let's try it. See if he'll answer my question.
"Who are you?" Meloetta asked to Jaymes, who heard her serene angelic voice speak to him in English. He made his signature adorable smirk at her, making her slightly blush. "You're so strong and knowledgeable all at once."
"My name is Jaymes Thompson Totanuki." Jaymes replied as he held her slender hands in his huge, soft ones while he looked straight at her face. "It's good to see you've opened up to my family since we found you. How did you end up in the dumpster?"
"I… rather not talk about it right now. What I want to know is… what do I look like?"
"Why'd you ask?"
"You see, I am a Melody Pokémon from Unova."
"A Melody… Pokémon?"
"Huh?!" Dyvo exclaimed, taking the cold rag off of his face. "A Pokémon?! Wait a minute… you mean… she's…"
"You're the one and the same Melody Pokémon, Meloetta." Jaymes finished. "We've learned so much about you during our childhood. So, we know that there are only two forms of you: Aria and Pirouette."
"Exactly." Meloetta replied. "So, what form am I in now? You all kept saying I look… sexy."
"Well, in all due respect, you actually do look quite sexually attractive, but since you really have no idea what you look like, let's show you." Jaymes paused as he stood up and gently pulled Meloetta up to her feet with him before they both headed for a coat closet and the gentle giant ninja opened the door to reveal a full body mirror on the opposite side. He allowed Meloetta to stand in front of it and she gasped with surprise.
"Oh, my Arceus!" She whispered with shock. She truly couldn't believe what she's been turned into, thanks to Genesect's Reveal-Glass-Infested Techno Blast that blew her to a near-death experience. "What happened to me? I… I do look sexy. Oooooh…" Meloetta began to model herself in front of the mirror as well as the family, unbeknownst to her, since they were behind her. "…Damn, I look good. Tee-hee-hee."
And I know this new form has a name. I just need to figure that one out and I can really add all of this up with Arceus.
"Oh, my God." Zari muttered with humor. "It looks like she really likes how she looks. Jaymes, are you sure this is really the same Meloetta we've heard so much about?"
"I'm positive." Jaymes replied as he turned towards his family. "This form she's in… it's like an advanced version of her Aria Forme… what is its real name?"
"I guess we'll find out eventually." Tommy replied before he looked at the clock in the kitchen. "In the meantime, Ibuki and I better prepare some dinner for ya'll. I guess Meloetta can join us, if she wants."
"Can I stay with you as well?" Meloetta asked as she just finished inspecting herself in front of the mirror, turning towards Jaymes specifically. "I really have nowhere else to go and, besides, I know that Genesect is being very well supervised by Arceus."
"What did she say, Jaymes?" Ibuki asked with concern.
"She asked if she can just simply stay with us." Jaymes replied. "You know, as an additional houseguest, since she says she really has nowhere else to go and Genesect's being watched by Arceus."
"Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-wait a minute!" Dyvo came in. "Genesect? Arceus? What's she talking about?"
"She doesn't wanna talk about it right now. Just… please… let her stay. Besides, you know how I feel about leaving innocent beings like her out in the street."
"We get it, Jaymes." Ibuki reassured sweetly. "Sure, Meloetta can stay… for as long as she needs."
"Thank you so much." Meloetta replied as she bowed down on one knee in honor in front of the Grandmaster Ninja, who smiled down at her. "I promise I won't be in the way."
"There's no need to bow down to me. You may rise."
She can understand me now? She must be a ninja, too!
"My name's Ibuki."
"Nice to meet you… and thanks again for letting me stay." Meloetta replied with sincerity.
"No problem. Oh, and before I forget, let me also introduce you to my husband, Tommy and Jaymes' older triplet brothers: Dyvo and Zari. I would introduce you to my pets, but they're asleep. So, you'll meet them later on at dinner. Okay?"
"Fine by me."
"Good. In the meantime, make yourself at home with the boys while Tommy and I start cookin'. It should be ready in an hour."
Wow! This Totanuki Family is very sweet to me. They're the first humans I've interacted with that aren't trainers for once and they're just the same as trainers, only they don't raise Pokémon. They raise pets. I can't wait to meet them. Sitting with the triplets on the couch right now feels peaceful to me, especially since we're watching a game show on the television. That never made me lose my thoughts on Genesect and his reign of terror in Unova. I know my brothers, Thundurus, Tornadus, and Landorus, are trying their best to keep that steel insect on his toes, but how long they can do it is the question.
What the… I just heard Arceus' voice. He's watching over me, despite my location. He just whispered to me what this new form is… and he also told me that this form is the key to stopping Genesect. He called it…
…the Aria Harmony Forme.
Does this mean that…
…I have gained more psychic power?
To be continued…
(Once again, just wanna give Mel of deviantArt a huge thanks for allowing me to use this design for Meloetta's newest form in this fic.)
