Eeveewing: History class is in session! Not really!
Arctic: You mean, I have to explain.
Eeveewing: Yep! Some viewers have commented that they are confused. Time for that to stop!
Zap: As long as it's not me!
Molt: Eeveewing hates you! :3
Eeveewing: Read and review! Ahhhhh!
Arctic watched Shira. She was still asleep. Dark Void was still in effect. He thought back to his days with Reshiram. She was always kind to them, but they never appreciated it. Zap usually told her to leave them alone. Now, Arctic wished she were here to help. Shira's Reshiram was not the same one.
~Flashback~
"Time for training! Go get your pokemon! Time to try and and transform!" Reshiram called. Zap turned his head angrily. He never listened to Reshiram. It usually ended in a big fight.
"It never works! Leave me alone! I don't want to be a Zapdos!" he yelled. Reshiram glared at him. Her temper was explosive. Zap didn't back down.
"He will attack soon! You must be ready!"
Was Nightmare the he she meant?
Zap didn't even care then. "And you won't be Zapdos! He is respectful! You will be a fusion!" she spat. Molt and Arctic were hiding behind the bed.
"So! No one cares! Who is going to attack here! We're on a planet with no one else! Why should we be ready for nothing!" Zap growled. Molt trembled. She could tell when Reshiram was about to attack. Reshiram spat a flame thrower next to Zap. He jumped back. The flames went out in a second, but Zap was still quivering. "Y-you almost killed me!"
"If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead," Reshiram snorted. Anger burst across Zap's face.
"How can you be so calm! I don't care if you don't want me dead! You almost hit me!" he growled. Reshiram rolled her eyes. Zap was insane then. Things changed a bit. Zap never argued with Shira. When she was awake, that is.
"Zap! Stop it! Reshiram wasn't trying to kill you!" Molt screeched. Zap shot an enraged look at Reshiram before turning and stomping away. As Arctic crept out from the hiding place, Reshiram stomped away as well. "So... No training?"
Arctic shrugged. "I guess Zap actually did succeed in getting out of training." She came back a few minutes later. They spent the rest of the day training, and Reshiram supervised it.
"Ugh! Reshiram pushes us too much! Why do we have to train!? No one comes to this wasteland!" Zap yowled in frustration. Arctic and Molt rolled their eyes. He had always complained about Reshiram's training. Molt thought it was particularly fun. Then again, they didn't have anything else to do. Zap complained about everything they had to do.
"Ahem! Zap! You looked like you weren't even trying! You'll never transform if you don't start working!" she shouted. Reshiram turned toward Arctic and Molt. "Listen. I have been warned that he will go after someone close to you. Meaning, it might be one of you!"
"What!? Why didn't you tell us!? " Zap shrieked. Arctic looked alarmed. Reshiram had noted that he did not speak much. When he did, it was worth listening to. She rolled her eyes at Zap's statement.
"I didn't think you needed to know! It won't matter if you can protect yourself! A nightmare will fall upon you! That is my warning! If you wish to stop it, you must train!" Reshiram growled. Molt and Zap gave each other a concerned look. Arctic still sat there, giving no notion that he had heard Reshiram.
"Hmm... My guess is that we haven't met them. That he will attack someone in the future, right? Well, that someone may be from the future as well," he concluded. Reshiram nodded thoughtfully.
"Well, then I don't care! Maybe I won't like them!" Zap yelled. He turned toward his bed and fell onto it. "Go away. We're done training." Zap had his face in his pillow. Reshiram looked at him with cold eyes.
"You don't like me, do you?" Reshiram growled sarcastically. Zap did not move. "Well then. I have a surprise for tomorrow. You'll want to see it. Arctic. Come with me."
"Reshiram? What is it?" he asked, walking out with her. She looked particularly distressed about something.
"I'm afraid I cannot keep teaching you. I need to find a replacement. Someone who will be able to teach you without fighting you. Zap will be pleased. I also would like to move you to a more... populated area. If Zap doesn't care about my warning, he can leave! I believe you are ready as well," Reshiram sighed. Arctic stared at her.
"Why? I think you are brilliant at teaching. Zap complains about everything. Not just you," Arctic accounted quietly. Reshiram looked down sadly.
"No. You need a new teacher. I'm sorry Arctic. You'll be fine," Reshiram sighed. Everything was different now.
Perhaps she is happier now.
"Reshiram! Zap is sorry!" he cried. Reshiram sighed, doubt clouding her eyes.
The next day, Zap stumbled out of the house. Reshiram stood in the center of a garden, the sun catching on her white wings, turning them silver.
"What do you want!?" he demanded. Arctic glared at him, still thinking about how to convince her to stay.
"It is time I found a replacement..." Fear flashed through Zap's eyes. He thought she meant him. "For myself."
Molt gasped in surprise, while Zap shrugged. "Whatever. Anyone would be better than you," he scoffed. Arctic gasped in horror.
Why did Zap have to say that!?
"Well! I hope you're happy!" she roared. With her head facing upward, flames seeped out of her mouth. It engulfed her entire body. As she disappeared slowly, the flames started to take a new form. Finally, as the flames died away, a girl opened her eyes.
"Who are you?" Zap asked. Fear flashed through him as the girl turned her eyes upon him.
"My name is Shira. Now... Are you coming?"
~End of Flashback~
A shadow flashed across the wall. It was heading straight for Shira. Arctic jumped up, plunging his hand into the dark phantom. It shrieked in pain and fury. The dark mist seeped out of the wall. When it had finished, Nightmare glared at Arctic.
"I told you... You can't hide from shadows..."
Nightmare launched himself at Arctic. "She is my trophy... Give her to me..." he screeched, his voice eerily flat. Arctic dodged to the side, pushing Nightmare upward.
Suddenly, Arctic was lifted off of the ground. Nightmare was using one of his powers. As Arctic struggled for breath, one picture flashed through his mind.
Shira...
A warm blue glow enveloped him, while air flooded his lungs. Gasping, he dropped to his knees. Strength filled every fiber of his body. Wings grew out of his back, light blue like ice. His eyes turned completely red, with a piercing ice-like gaze. A golden band weaved itself around his shirt, and the shirt sprouted a white, feathery scruff. Finally, long, dark blue feathers formed a tail.
For the first time since Shira fell asleep, Arctic felt hope. Hope that he could beat Nightmare. However, before he could test his new found powers, Nightmare sank into the floor. Arctic half thanked, half cursed Arceus. Shira was safe.
Was this what Reshiram wanted? Is this was she meant by unlocking our power?
Eeveewing: Arctic is the first! Just wait!
Zap: Ugh! No more waiting! I've waited about a month! I was barely in this one!
Molt: (giggles)
Arctic:Whatever. Just update soon. Okay.
Nightmare: Hey! She got most of the story done in a day! She got stuck on your stupid transfomation!
Shira: ...
Arctic: You're awake!?
Shira: ! ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
