HEY PEOPLE! I'M BACK AGAIN WITH ANOTHER CHAPTER. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND A LOT OF CONFUSION IN THIS CHAPTER, BUT I'LL DO MY BEST TO EXPLAIN IT ALL.

Now, in case you guys are confused as to where exactly my characters are at this point and where they came from, I'll tell you. Jake came from Viridian City and is living deep in Viridian Forest right now. Sara came from Floaroma City and is currently living on Newmoon Island.

Also, in case you guys were wandering, the POV will not be like the first chapter the whole time unless you want that. I was planning on doing personal POV's starting next chapter or even this chapter if I can fit it in.

JustinThePokemonMaster: Thanks for the feedback! And about having legendaries at 6 years old, I don't know if I explained it very well, but this is the only time people will ever receive Pokemon in their lives. Also, I probably should've explained that every Pokemon received is always a baby. So that way, the Pokemon will grow up with their human partner, for better or for worse.

Now, onto the story!


2 YEARS LATER

JAKE

Jake had spent the last two years in almost complete isolation. He had abandoned his first tree house in favor of moving further into the forest where he could train undisturbed by humans. He had been living in a new tree house that he had made and instead of just covering the top of the tree, the house wrapped all around the tree from top to bottom.

His new location provided him more opportunity and had benefited him greatly. He had been able to greatly improve his survival skills and all his Pokemon had toughened up greatly, but none evolved. He figured he would stay out in isolation until he turned 16 when he could officially start battling for ranking. Until then, he would continue to train and improve with his partners.


SARA

It took her a whole month to find the island. She had been out on sea for so long, she was kissing the ground when they touched land. Her Darkrai seemed to be in awe of the island however and had silently wandered the island. A few days after landing, they came in contact with another Darkrai, but this one had seemed ancient and truly legendary. It had communicated telepathically with Sara and had offered to help train her own Darkrai. She accepted, but only under the condition that she got to see her partner everyday or every few days if not everyday. He accepted as well. Now, almost two years later, her Darkrai seemed more powerful than ever and the ancient Darkrai told her his training was just beginning.

Her other two partners didn't seem to slack off either. Luxio started to show signs of maturing into a Luxray and Togepi even evolved into Togetic. They were both extremely dedicated to their training and seemed to jump at any chance to improve themselves after seeing how powerful Darkrai had become.

Sara as well had started to train herself and showed big signs of becoming athletic and strong. The old Darkrai had recently told her about aura as well and it told her she had potential to put it to great use. She was curious to learn more, so he gave her some ancient looking books to read from and thankfully for her, it was in a language she could understand. Ever since then, she been training her body even more and was dedicated to unlocking her full potential. After all, she thought to herself, 'If I can become stronger, everyone would like me and accept me back, right?'

3 YEARS LATER


JAKE

Jake was now 15 and he seemed ready for almost past 3 years were spent in constant training. He rarely took breaks except 3 times when he flew back to his parents home on his birthdays. Each time he visited, there was a huge community festival thrown by his parents. Every time, he insisted that she wouldn't do it again. But he was happy every time because he knew how much his parents supported him and cared for him.

Ever since training started, all of his partners had gotten serious about improving themselves.

FLASHBACK - 1 YEAR

Nuzleaf was training by jumping through the trees when he saw something glinting in a tree. He got curious and looked around to make sure he was safe before going to investigate. As he got closer, he saw it was a stone and went to pick it up. As he did however, he started to feel tingly and knew he about to evolve. He got excited and waited for his new form.

Jake was gathering firewood for the coming night when he noticed that one of his pendants was starting to glow. He quickly stopped what he was doing and took off his pendant. It was glowing brighter and brighter until it started to blind him. He had to look away and when the glow stopped he noticed his pendant had changed from a dark green to a bright green with a pitch black center.

He gasped and went to find his partner, worried that something might have happened to him. What he wasn't prepared for however was a full on tackle from a foreign Pokemon. He yelped before realizing that this one seemed familiar. It took him a second, but he finally figured out that he was staring at who used to be Nuzleaf. Now however, it was Shiftry.

He congratulated Shiftry and spent the rest of the day with him and helping him adjust to his new form. Even the next day was spent helping Shiftry learn how to operate again.

END FLASHBACK

Haunter has been on the edge of evolving and just needs a final push or challenge to get past. It has had extensive training learning all the abilities of a ghost type. Haunter can become invisible at will, move through solid objects, and has recently learned how to possess people. While extremely dangerous and illegal, Haunter insisted on learning, and Jake, being so willing to help his partners get better, helped him and even found old tomes on training for it. Within a few months of training, Haunter became immensely powerful for not being in its final form.

Onix had grown at least 10 feet in the past few years. His growth was astounding and looked to be on the verge of started to show signs of becoming more steel bodied and less of a giant rock snake. His steel pikes were also starting to grow in.

However, the one to top the list was his Rayquaza. It had grown several feet and had grown way more powerful as well as friendly and loyal. It had learned several powerful techniques such as Dragon Claw and Dragon Pulse.

He had moved into the deepest part of the forest once he learned of being able to face powerful foes and even discover legendary Pokemon and artifacts. He had learned through some old tomes he found buried in a treasure chest that there was an ancient temple built deep in the forest that was used to worship a deity like Pokemon. Ever since he moved, he had been mapping the area almost constantly. He had yet to find the temple, but had a feeling he was close.

According to the books he read, this Pokemon was worshipped due to its power to bestow greatness unto human beings. Apparently, any priest was given special powers and was always in constant contact with the deity. This excited Jake and gave him motivation to find this temple.

1 DAY LATER

As Jake was waking up, he heard a lot of commotion all around him. In an instant, Rayquaza, Haunter and Shiftry were out and on guard. Rayquaza had wrapped itself around Jake, acting as a shield, Shiftry got up on the big rock in the middle of their camp site, and Haunter turned invisible and started to investigate. But all the noise stopped almost as fast as it began. Jake looked around warily and when Rayquaza started to uncoil itself all hell broke loose.

They came from all around. Dozens of Golurk and Golett came from the forest around him. Jake steeled himself and released his Onix which instantly flattened a few Golett and pushed a dozen Onix back. He swiftly commanded all his Pokemon to start fighting back. Shiftry was dashing from enemy to enemy using combinations of Night Slash and Leaf Blade. Onix was just barrelling through enemies knocking them over which turned out to be effective. Haunter was using Dark Pulse on multiple enemies and taking them out. Rayquaza had no trouble using Dragon Pulse and Dragon Claw to take out all its opponents with one or two hits each.

As fast as they were being taken out, more appeared in their place. All of Jake's partners except for Rayquaza were getting worn out. He knew had to do something to get out of this situation because even Rayquaza wouldn't last forever. He had Rayquaza pick him up and as he was flying off, he recalled all his other Pokemon. When he thought he was safe, he looked back and was scared to find the Golurk were chasing after him still using thrusters in their arms and legs.

So he clung to Rayquaza and had him turn to face them. Rayquaza started to rush towards them while firing off Dragon Pulse after Dragon Pulse. It had succeeded in taking out a few dozen by the time it had come in contact and started using Dragon Claw in close quarters. All the Golurk were trying to cling to Rayquaza to drag it down to the ground. He suddenly had a very risky idea. He told Rayquaza to dive down and as soon as he did, he lost almost all of the Golurk. Jake all of a sudden saw a big building in the close distance. Rayquaza started flying towards it and curiously, less and less enemies followed. Soon, no giant rock ghosts were trying to attack, so he landed and was about to return his Rayquaza but had an instinct not to. So he walked towards the building and soon realized it was a giant temple. He knew at that point he had found what he was looking for for the past few months.

As he neared the temple, he felt a crushing power, like gravity was getting thicker. As he trudged on, Rayquaza started to growl, but was suddenly returned to its pendant. The gravity started to get more and more crushing but it suddenly stopped. He sighed and soon realized where he was standing. He was at the top of the steps and and was currently standing in front of a small altar. On the altar was a light blue orb. As he neared it, it started to shine. Soon, he was standing right in front of it and it was as bright as the sun. He had to look away, but he couldn't feel any heat coming off of it, so he went to pick it up.`

As soon as Jake touched the orb, he started screaming out in pain. It started to sear his hand and then looked like it was being absorbed into his body. Once the pain was over Jake noticed he had a tattoo on his left hand where he had touched the orb. It was a pink cross-like wheel (think of Arceus and its special piece around its body) and seemed to glow a little bit. He looked at it in curiosity for a bit longer before being completely freaked out when a voice spoke to him in his head. It told him to turn around, and when Jake did, he completely fainted.


SARA

She hadn't had a decent nights sleep for at least the past week. It was almost non stop rain and thunder. She swore to whatever being that controlled this weather she would murder it, but that threat hasn't worked yet. She had started to build a house for herself once she realized she couldn't stand being outside, but her building skills were zero and her partners were just as lost as she was. Right now, she found shelter in a small cave that was just big enough for her to be able to move around comfortably. But she was hopeful the rain would stop soon and was looking to get her training done for the day.

Over the past 3 years, her partners had gotten so much stronger. Her Shinx had trained so much it evolved twice in the past 2 years. It was now a strong Luxray and had been for the past 3 months. It was still getting used to its new power, so things occasionally blew up. But it had become her unofficial bodyguard and rarely stayed in its pendant. A little over a year ago, a strong looking Skarmory showed up on the island and it was threatening Sara. She was just getting done with her own training, so she was exhausted and couldn't do anything to protect herself. Her Togetic was swiftly knocked out due to not having any good enough attacks to repel the predator. Her Darkrai was out training with the other Darkrai and it was just her and Luxio. Luxio fought tooth and nail before finally fending off the Skarmory. Once it went away, they both slumped down and fell asleep on each other.

She was probably closest to her Luxray, but it wasn't her strongest partner. Darkrai, for the past year, had gone on a training trip to a different dimension. It would be back anytime now and she suspected it would be as strong as any other legendary once it did get back.

Togetic also evolved around 4 months ago. She was now a Togekiss and seemed to be a bit rebellious at times but also very playful. Togekiss was probably the personality of the group and always knew how to keep the mood light and fun. Right now she was flying around the cave shooting off small Aura Spheres that Sara was trying to catch.

Sara had become very proficient in aura ever since the time that Skarmory had attacked. She had worked twice as hard as before and could now use aura as an extension of herself. She could make Aura Spheres, enhance her physical abilities, and even use it as a sixth sense. She was a self proclaimed Aura Guardian.

THE NEXT DAY

Sara woke up to the sun shining and Pidgey chirping. She yawned loudly and woke up Luxray who shot off a weak Thundershock which she yelped at. Sara glared angrily at him before huffing and getting up to go warm up for the day. As she was jogging near the coast, she saw a boat. She gasped before she started to run back to her cave and get all her stuff. All of a sudden there was a large shadow blocking her light from the entrance of the cave. She quickly turned around only to find that Darkrai was there. She cried in joy as she ran to Darkrai. She also realized that the boat was probably coming to the island.

She grabbed Darkrai and her other two partners, explained the situation and ran back to the shore. The boat was closer now and she could see that there were multiple people on board as well as a few more boats that she couldn't see earlier. All of a sudden, there were three Hyper Beams that were headed straight for her. But they never came in contact with her or the island because of a large shield blocking them. Darkrai held its hand up and was showing little effort to block these large beams of energy. As soon as they dissipated, Darkrai lowered the shield and shot off four Dark Voids. Each one enveloped each boat and there was no more activity. She recalled Luxray and Darkrai, then got on Togekiss who flew her over to the boats. When she landed, Luxray and Darkrai were immediately released to help assess the situation.

Laying down immediately were multiple men dressed in blue. They all seemed to be in uniform even going as far as getting matching hats. Sara found it really funny, but didn't say or do anything because she was more curious as to how they found this place. She wandered around some more and found the stairs leading up the the bridge. As she approached the command room, she heard voices and quickly rushed inside.

She hit the floor immediately out of instinct and was glad for it because a Hyper Beam went right over her. As she looked up she saw Darkrai appear behind an Alakazam and deliver a strong looking Night Slash which almost completely took it out. As Darkrai appeared next to her, it shot off a Dark Pulse and fainted it which made the Alakazam return back to its pendant. The man standing over by the captains chair growled angrily and sent out a Feraligatr which roared and stood ready for battle.

The person, who seemed to be the captain, smirked, before reveling in shock when two strong looking Thunderbolts struck the water beast. (haha, he reveled in shock XD that's my bad pun of the chapter) Feraligatr wasn't down, but he obviously wasn't playing around anymore and launched two big Water Pulses. Darkrai stoof to take the one headed for it and Luxray swiftly moved out of the path. The Water Pulse that missed tore a hole through the steel wall it hit. Sara looked at the hole warily before turning back to the action. She commanded Togekiss to get out of the room and deliver multiple Aura Spheres to the room itself when she defeated the Feraligatr. Togekiss agreed and went outside to wait in the air.

Darkrai threw a Dark Void which almost hit the beast until a Hyper Beam tore through the attack but missed Sara and her partners. Luxray and Darkrai both took the opportunity to fire off more Thunderbolts which finally took the Feraligatr out of commision for the time being. Once it returned to its pendant, the captain tried to run, but a well placed Aura Sphere blew up the emergency exit. He turned back around to face Sara and her partners. She returned Darkrai and started to walk out of the room. She really didn't care anymore how they found her home because she knew now that she was strong enough to return to society and prepare for her journey which was in a little under a year. As she walked out of the control room, there was a loud explosion behind her.

Togekiss seemed to realize that Sara was waiting and picked her up gleefully. Sara told her that they were going to return to society because they were strong enough now. Togekiss looked at her happily before shooting off into the distance ready to see more people after so long.


3 MONTHS LATER

JAKE

It took him a few weeks to get used to, but when he finally did, he realized how lucky he was. Jake had found the temple of Palkia and had received the last of the Original Palkia's powers. He had found out that there was an original legendary for every legendary in the world. All of them were gone now except for a few because either they couldn't stand living in a world with humans anymore or they gave out too many blessings to humans like Palkia did. He also found out that the last of Palkia lived inside his subconscious now. He found it a bit creepy, but was also really excited to learn from this opportunity. He was also supposed to keep this all top secret.

He found out that he received special powers with his blessing. First of all, he found out he would lived much much longer than any normal human. Palkia didn't tell him how much longer, but he suspected it wouldn't be a small number. Next was that him and his Pokemon would be able to harness and use the powers of space. Not outer space, but physical space. He could bend it to his will and control it as he pleased. His partners, with more training, could use it to enhance their battle skills and physical skills.

Also on the list on new abilities was his own enhance of his physical capabilities. He could do everything at an enhanced, and later on, superhuman level. He had begun training two months ago, but had barely gotten the hang of even using his enhanced physical abilities. He figured it would take much longer to learn how to use everything else.

Him and his partners were back to their daily routines of training and living, but at a much more intense level. Palkia had really drilled it into them that they needed to train more to protect themselves and others. They were also living at the temple site, but in the village surrounding the actual temple. It turns out that a few priests were still living there and had become overjoyed to find out he had discovered the temple. They called him one of the Chosen One's which confused him because he always thought there was supposed to be one Chosen One. He asked about it and they priests said that there would be three Chosen One's. One for each of the Creation Trio. He asked who the others would be, but they didn't tell him anymore. They said it wasn't their place to say anymore and to ask Arceus for more answers. He thought they had gone mad almost immediately after they said that and he hadn't had much of a conversation with them since.

More importantly however, all of his Pokemon were fully evolved. He now had a Steelix, Shiftry, Gengar, and his Rayquaza. Steelix had evolved when he had found an iron mine and released him to eat the iron because Jake thought it would be good food for him. Hours later when his partner resurfaced, he saw a happy looking Steelix instead of an Onix. Jake ran to the mine entrance only to find a gigantic, ironless hole that stretched for a very long way. He gaped before turning back to the Steelix and sighing.

Gengar had evolved apparently before they came in contact with the temple. It had evolved when they were fighting off all of the Golett and Golurk. Jake didn't notice because he was too busy fighting for his life, but was really happy for his partner. Gengar was happy too and practically congratulated himself every time they went out to train against the giant ghost rocks.

Rayquaza had quickly taken a liking to Palkia and often trained against the priests Pokemon. The priests had either super strong Pokemon or super supportive Pokemon because they had been living there for over 100 years. The priests had also apparently been blessed with extra long lives. Anyways, Rayquaza had found good training partners in Pokemon like Salamence, Dragonite, and Metagross. He was always beaten, but always improved and the improvement showed. He could go toe to toe with his training partners on a good day now compared to months ago when he would be taken out in one or two attacks.

Shiftry had also improved greatly. He had been trained by Pokemon such as Serperior and Zoroark. He had honed all his skills and became his second most powerful partner behind Rayquaza. He had also become a sparring partner for Jake which seemed to help him a great amount.

Jake was currently working towards becoming the best he could while being isolated here before he started his journey. He would continue for the next 8 months before leaving back to his parents home for a few weeks. From there, he would set out into the world for one of the greatest journeys of his life.


SARA

Sara got back to her hometown in a little over 5 hours. Togekiss was apparently a very good navigator. Once she got back and landed, she noticed everything looked very different. Instead of a small port like when she left, the port itself must been half the size of the city now. The city grew too. It wasn't a small village anymore, but a decent sized busy city. She was very surprised, but also happy since she thought this could be a chance to start new for herself.

As she wandered around, she noticed all the houses and locations for other places had changed. Instead of two small streets of houses, there was now multiple alleys and roads of houses and apartments. The Destiny Cave was still in the same place however and none of the buildings around it had seemed to improve or change much.

She also noticed that a few blocks away, there was a big building with a coliseum sign on it. As she moved closer, she saw that there was crowds around multiple booths. Some said registration and others said tickets and concessions. She moved towards the registration section and got in line. After what seemed like forever, she was up to the booth. When she was in line, she talked to a few people to get information on what event was being held. She got that there was a big tournament that anyone could enter and there was a grand prize of 1 million Poké. When she found this out, she knew she had to enter.

She also found out at the booth that she would only be allowed to use two Pokemon. She chose to use her Luxray and Togekiss for the time being because she didn't think it would be very smart to reveal her Legendary just yet. After she signed up, she went to go find a place to sleep for the night. Seeing as she didn't have a house in the city anymore, she started to wander towards the forest. As she was walking, she noticed she was passing the port. She stared out into the distance to admire the sunset for a while before suddenly getting homesick. She honestly missed her family. All she wanted to do right now was embrace her parents even though they abandoned her. She wanted a loving set of arms to lay into and fall asleep in. She knew that wouldn't happen again though. No one seemed to love her the way her parents did before she got her Pokemon all those years ago.

As she sat there with her legs hanging off the pier, her Luxray went up to her and laid behind her to support her as a cushion to lay back on. She suddenly realized she did have that loving family. She's had it all this time but she didn't realize it until now. He partners have been with her longer than anyone, they grew up with her and supported her through everything after her biological parents refused to. She leaned back into Luxray and cried. She cried so much, she didn't have tears left and soon after that had fallen asleep. She dreamed of how happy she was and how she would always be loved because she had a loving family.
