Disclaimer: Uhhhhh, yeah. If you think that I own Pokémon or owned it in the previous chapters that I forgot to put this in, then I have a nice padded cell ready for you…on the moon.

"This will be a double pokémon battle of Scott Enishida against Misty Waterflower and Brock Takeshi," shouted Mr. Goodshow as the teams took their places. "There will be no substitutions allowed. When both of a team's pokémon are unable to battle, the opposing side will be declared the victor. BEGIN!" he shouted, signaling the start of the match with his colored flags.

"Crush them Golem!" shouted Brock, sending out the megaton pokémon.

"Go, Starmie!" shouted Misty, sending out the mysterious pokémon.

Scott chuckled before saying, "It's been a long time since I last battled. Zapdos, Lanturn, let's show them why I won the last Tournament of the Divine!" shouted Scott, much to most of the assembled company.

"WHAT?" shouted Misty and Brock, both of which had been expecting an easy win.

"Oh, didn't you know?" drawled Scott in a harsh sarcastic tone that only Mr. Goodshow had ever heard before. The tone alone was enough to send shivers down most of their spines, but Mr. Goodshow merely chuckled.

"Scott is one of the most powerful trainers of all time," chuckled Mr. Goodshow. "In fact, he's done things with his pokémon that I have only seen one other trainer of his caliber." This shocked everyone, even the champions, who, while knowing that Scott had won the last tournament, had no clue that Mr. Goodshow held him in such high regard.

Scott started to laugh. "Thanks Charles," he said to Mr. Goodshow. "But both of us know that even the two of us combined would be hard pressed to defeat him." This left the crowd absolutely speechless. Mr. Goodshow, as the Pokémon League head, was also the world champion and was, to their knowledge, undefeated. If Scott was as good as he said, then they should have no problem taking down anybody, including Arceus itself.

Samuel Oak burst into laughter at this, earning him incredulous looks from most of the group. "The two of you tried to beat him?" he managed to gasp out in between laughs. "I warned you that he would decimate the two of you if you tried."

Scott and Mr. Goodshow merely continued to chuckle.

Misty, after the shock wore off, was getting angry that they were underestimating her, and yelled "Starmie, use Hydro Pump on Zapdos!"

A look of anger and pure loathing quickly crossed Scott's face before he yelled out his command.

"Zapdos, activate plan Episilon!" he shouted, before Zapdos threw up a Light Screen.

"That's it?" asked Candice. "That's all he's doing?"

The only answer she got was a smirk from Mr. Goodshow and Professor Oak before the Hydro Pump hit the Light Screen. As soon as it did, though, Starmie screamed in pain before passing out.

"Starmie is unable to battle, please return it Ms. Waterflower," shouted Mr. Goodshow, snapping her out of the shock she had went into after her Starmie was knocked out.

"WHAT JUST HAPPENED?" she screeched. "HE DIDN'T EVEN DO ANYTHING! HE MUST HAVE CHEATED!"

Scott chuckled darkly before stating, "Ms. Waterflower, weren't you ever taught any manners?" he chided sarcastically. "It's not good sportsmanship to attack someone before they're ready to start."

Misty screamed "WHY YOU STUPID SON OF A…"

She didn't have time to finish her sentence, however, as a dart hit the back of her neck, injecting a sleep-inducing substance into her system, causing her to instantly fall asleep.

The crowd turned to see Janine standing there, a blowgun in her hand.

"Misty Waterflower lost, therefore there is no reason for her to stay conscious if she plans on insulting others," stated Janine, causing everyone but Koga to sweatdrop, who merely nodded his agreement.

"WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?" shouted Brock, before being knocked out by his Golem being pushed into him by Scott's Lanturn's Hydro Pump.

"Finally," sighed Mr. Goodshow, before yelling "Golem and Starmie are both unable to battle. Therefore the winner is Scott Enishida!" He then turned to Sabrina before saying, "If you would be so kind Ms. Natsume?"

"With pleasure," stated Sabrina, wearing an evil smirk before asking her Alakazam to teleport them away, mentally adding to take them to the deepest part of the Viridian Forest, knowing just how much Misty hated bugs.

Deep in the Hall of Origin was a chamber that none had been in since the creation of the universe. In it were 17 doors, including the one that Arceus and the legendaries entered through with Ash and Pikachu. They each had a faint glow to them, each a different color. As they walked through the door, the other legendaries looked around in awe, having never imagined such a room existing in the Hall. Arceus led them to the yellow door, before turning to Ash and giving him a coffin-shaped glowing object that he recognized as a plate.

(You know what to do) stated Arceus, its powerful voice ringing throughout the silent room. Ash merely nodded before Pikachu jumped off his shoulder and, in a flash of light, turned into the hooded figure. They walked, in sync, up to the door before they both took the plate and placed it into a hole on the door. As they did, a bright yellow flash lit up the room, before electricity ran through their bodies, causing them to glow, but not harming them. They began to chant:

"Oh God of Thunder, hear our plea,

Give your blessing to my partner and me.

Oh King of Storms, we ask not for gain,

But to protect others in your name.

Oh Lord of Lightning, hear our cry,

Let your power flow lest your servants die.

Together we call your title and name,

So you may walk the earth again.

COME FORTH, RAIJINN SATOSHI!"

Upon finishing the chant, the doors glowed brighter and brighter until all present except for Ash, Pikachu, and Arceus were forced to turn away.

Suddenly, the light died away, revealing one figure where two had been standing just moments before.

(The coronation is complete) boomed Arceus. (Raijinn Satoshi walks among us again!)

Mr. Goodshow sighed as the questions flew around on the short walk back to the meeting hall, most of them revolving around the battle that had just taken place moments ago. He rubbed his head as it started to ache painfully.

'It's a great job!' they said. 'Tons of respect and all you have to do is fight a lucky kid once every decade or so!' they told me. HA! Guess they left the part about dealing with psychos out. Not to mention all this 'Raijinn' business, thought Charles Goodshow as he rubbed his forehead, trying to keep it from developing into a migraine. Luckily for Mr. Goodshow, Scott chose that moment to stand up.

"While I'm sure that all of you are curious about my battle, now is not the time to discuss such things," bluntly stated Scott, waiting for the room to quiet down before gesturing to Mr. Goodshow.

"Thank you Scott," stated Mr. Goodshow. "Now, as all of you know, the Tournament of the Divine is in 6 months. In light of the recent developments, the champions, Scott, and I have all agreed that it would be in everybody's best interest to train as much as possible before then. Therefore, Professor Oak has agreed to split all of the trainers invited to the tournament into seven different groups. The groups shall be led by Cynthia, Lance, Wallace, Steven, Lucian, Karen, and Drake. They shall be in charge of their groups, as well as responsible for their learning, hopefully learning themselves in the process. Are there any questions?" inquired Mr. Goodshow. After looking around seeing none, he nodded to Professor Oak who stood up and cleared his throat.

"Alright then, the first group shall be comprised of…"

"Arceus, it has been too long my friend," said the figure as it stepped closer to the group, revealing what it looked like. It was similar to Pikachu's humanoid form, but the hood was down, revealing Ash's face.

(Satoshi, my friend, I am so glad to see you again!) Arceus cheerfully said.

"As am I Arceus. How long has it been since we last saw each other? As you know, time does not exist in my plane of existence."

(It has been over 4 billion years) replied Arceus.

"Really? Who else is back?" inquired Raijinn.

(Nobody, you are the first back.)

"YES!" shouted Raijinn, pumping his fist in the air. "I won both bets!"

(What bets?) asked Arceus, confused.

"Oh, Hikami and I had a bet about when I would be free, and Mikami and I had a bet as to who would get out first. I won both bets!" explained Raijinn.

Arceus merely sweatdropped. I suppose that this really shouldn't be a surprise, it thought. Oh well, maybe this will be a good influence on Ash. After what happened, Raijinn might be just the thing he needs.

AN: Whew, finally got this chapter done. The poll is now closed, and the winners are Solidad and Zoey. I was a little surprised that, even though I added Solidad late (I think) she still managed to gain an overwhelming lead, with Zoey being a close second. The chapters will most likely be further apart now, probably one every week or two. Oh, and thanks to my friend TheFanatics who helped me with some ideas for Scott, reading some of my "iffy" portions, and listening to my insanity long enough for me to get some decent ideas out there :P. Also, I need to throw some characters into the tournament, so if you have any OC characters you want me to put in there, give me a brief description of them, their personality, and their team. Also, a surprise to the first reviewer who correctly explains how Scott knocked out Misty's Starmie :D!

"Pfttt, what are you gonna do, give them a virtual cookie?"

"HEY, YOU SHUT UP PIKA-MUSE!"

"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT PUNS?" *Pika-Muse's cheeks start sparking*

*Backs away from the insane mouse-muse* Uh, I gotta go, bye!

*Runs screaming like a little girl*
