Ulysses: Huh, you weren't lying.

Codex: Well, I've been gone for awhile. Might as well update as much as I can while I'm here.

74(#: Remember me?

Codex: Yep, I remember

74(#: Will you say it this chapter?

Codex: ... Maybe?

74(#: What does that mean?

Codex: Eh, I don't know, we'll see.

74(#: Screw you.

Codex: Ew, don't screw your metaphorical father.

74(#: What?

Codex: Enjoy everyone

~x2x~ I Hate These Types

I slowly opened my eyes and I was brought to the sight of concrete walls and metal bars and a Pokemon dressed in a black cloak turned towards the metal bars.

"Ugh, why does it feel like I have a hangover?"

The cloaked Pokemon turned towards me and I realized that the cloak was covering most of his face, so I couldn't tell what Pokemon it was. And it didn't help that the Pokemon had a VID (Vocal Impairment Device) on him. "Oh, I didn't expect you to be awake yet. I guess the legends are true."

I immediately knew what he was talking about and sighed. "Really, another Pokemon that wants my power? I thought I was good once I faked my death a few years ago. Guess not."

"Well, since you know who I am, and you know what I'm after, any chance you could give it to me?"

"You mean my power? I'd love to give it to you, but, if you couldn't notice, I'm kinda using it, so…"

"I didn't think it was going to be that easy," The Pokemon said while he pulled out a remote and pressed a button. "So, I guess I'll just have to get it out of you."

The button seemed to undo my restraints from the chair but still kept them from being used to fight back.

"So, where are you taking me?"

"Oh, I'm taking you to meet someone I think you know pretty well."

That actually made me kind of nervous, but I didn't show it.

He brought me out of the cell and walked me to a glass mirror. "Why am I looking at myself?"

"Oh, it's not a mirror, it's modified one-way glass." He said while pressing a button next to the glass as it slowly inverted itself into a window, revealing a Pokemon inside. I couldn't tell who it was at first, but when it was done deforming, I just stood there in shock.

"Al-Arceus!" I managed to stop myself from saying her real name, because who knows what'll happen if this dude finds out that.

"Now, I have hooked up a few 'toys' to her and they will activate one by one the longer you don't give it to me. Any chances you'll hand it over before anything happens to them?"

I stood there with an angry look on my face that just said I was pissed.

"I see then." He pulled out a remote and pressed one of the buttons on it, resulting in a scream from Arceus.

I just sighed, "You know, if you really want my power, you're going to have to try a lot harder than torturing my 'friends' to death. If you really want to kill them, go ahead. It'll only put the world into a complete halt, the legends will find out, even if you try to stay off the grid, they will exploit you, then there'll be a bounty on your head as the killer of Arceus, wanted dead or alive, and it's probably going to be somewhere around 80,000 Poke."

At this point, I just stood up and broke all of my restraints, proceeding to rub my wrists. "Then, after you stay in hiding for awhile, you make an outing for more supplies, but you slip up in the process, you get found, and you try to escape and you find one pokemon that says they'll help you escape and get back off the grid, only to find out that they're taking you right to the center of it all. They tie you up and drag you to somewhere where all the lights will be on you, and they take one good shot to your head. You take your final breathes and the last thing you see before passing is the smug look on the kid's face that shot you. Sound about right, Dialga?"

Suddenly, two pokemon appeared next to the cloaked pokemon in front of me. "I think you got it right on." Dialga said in a very deep and masculine voice.

"Wait, what? How did you-"

"See, that's the thing. Pokemon like you always underestimate the power of a Legendary."

"But I know I knocked you two out earlier. I checked and everything."

"Oh yeah, about that." I chimed in. "When you did that, I notified the Legendaries, through the mindscape, about this little altercation and the possible outcomes. Now, let's see just who you are. I like to associate faces to those I kill."

I nodded my head to Arceus and Dialga and they held down the pokemon so I could see just who it was. I lifted the hood and it revealed a Greninja. I reeled back my arm and prepared to launch a Shadow Claw to the chest, until I got a better idea.

I put on a devilish smile and said, "Arceus, find out if there are any cameras in here."

She didn't question my notion when she knew what I was thinking and immediately took off to see if there were any within the room we were in. "I found one."

I took it from their hands and took a photo of this Greninja's face, only to stop and grab a knife to make an indentation in his face to make him identifiable in a crowd. I put a slash in his cheek and took the picture.

"Ow! Why the HELL did you do that?"

"I won't kill you."

"Wait, you're serious?"

"Yep. I won't kill you. I don't know about the rest of the world though. Arceus, put this photo on a wanted sheet and get the word around."

"What should it say?" They said in a sarcastically dumbfounded voice.

"Well, put down the following. Wanted criminal for the torture and attempted murder of Arceus. Bounty of 80,000 Poke, dead or alive."

"On it."

-xXx-

"The perpetrator has finally been dealt with after just being wanted about a week ago." The news anchor said. "Witness says that he was making a few rounds for more supplies, they say. That is, until, he is spotted by some campers and he is forced to run away in hopes of escape. He then meets a pokemon that said he'd aid in his escape."

"In the heat of the situation, they say he didn't bother to ask any questions and just got in the vehicle. Little did he know that that vehicle was being driven to Central Square, the most populated place in the country. This pokemon not only tricked the perpetrator, but did the deed of killing him to make sure that he doesn't harm any other pokemon. We have him with us tonight at 10. Back to you John."

I turned off the television in my office and looked at Arceus who was sitting on one of my sofas. "You always know exactly what happens, do you."

I just shrugged.

"Well, getting onto a lighter topic, have you used your little device yet?"

"You're going to have to be specific, Alli."

"The one you just made."

"Oh, that one. No, why? Do you want me to?"

"Yeah, it would be interesting to have another scientist in the room."

"True."

Not seeing any reason to object, I grabbed one of the finished products from a drawer and turned it on. It took a second to load, and when it finally showed the home screen, I typed in all the required information and pressed enter.

It showed the loading screen for a few seconds, but, instead of showing a match or no match, it just read 'Hook Up To Project P-X For Result' again.

"Wait, again? I seriously don't remember programing anything like this into it."

"Just do it. Maybe it needs more juice or something."

"No, these come pre-charged and-"

"Just go and do it."

Codex: Yeah, I know it was short

74(#: And you still didn't say my name yet.

Codex: *rolls eyes* I know... I'll do it in the next one, I promise.

74(#: Swear? *holds out pinkie*

Codex: Yes. *shakes pinkie with 7 (3*

74(#: Good

Codex: Well, I don't have much to say at this point, other than check out my other stories if you haven't already.

74(#: Shameless self-promo ftw.

Codex: Shut up, I need people to know that I'm making more than one story.

74(#: Well, I won't get in your way. See you guys in the next chapter. *leaves the room*

Codex: Which should be soon, hopefully. Later everyone.

Siel: *in the distance, barely heard* it still sucks.

Codex: I didn't say it

Siel: *still in the distance* good.

Codex: Yeah, if any of you have any idea of what you want me to call you guys, PM me, or if you guys need someone to talk to. Anyways, goodbye for reals.
