Alright, so what the heck is going on with Giratina and Spector? Don't worry, its nothing that will interfere with my activities... Yet. My empoleon, Emperion, ironically enough got racked by a really ticked off lucario because he got excited from saving her. If you ask me, that's rather ungrateful, but I guess Im' not the one some perv penguin got a boner off of. Ho-Oh ordered Suicune and Raikou to include Entei in their activities, which seems odd since the three of them are usually separate anyway. I guess Ho-Oh suspected that maybe Entei was being a little isolated from Raikou and Suicune because it (she) was getting used to some... Changes. I also almost got crushed by a giant beast.. I bet you can only guess what happens next. If you can, then I think you better listen on.
Chapter 2
Expertly, Raikou began generating electricity throughout his entire body, shocking Entei off of him. "Alright, two can play at this!" Entei roared as she engulfed herself in flames and charged at Raikou. Raikou suddenly began sparking, and suddenly began rushing at Entei. Upon the two making contact, both began regretting they charged in the first place. Entei was shocked and temporarily paralyzed, particular her tongue and forepaws, as the rest of her body began numbing up. The flames of Entei began spreading all over Raikou, creating intense burns all over his body. Since Entei naturally had more momentum because of her head start, Raikou also ended up being on his back as he rolled to put out the flames licking at his flesh. Suicune doused BOTH of them with a well aimed surf, and as the two whimpered quietly about their wounds, a fed up Suicune prepared a speech. The speech never came though, as suddenly two humans appeared in their field of view. "Oh CRAP!" Suicune shouted as she bounded over to her injured friends. Both were, at this point, vulnerable to capture, and as the humans readied themselves to hurl ultra balls, a shadow passed over them. Lugia swooped down, scooped up both humans in her mouth, and took off as if she had seen nothing. Knowing that both humans were finished, Suicune sighed in relief, then licked gently Raikou. "Come on, we better find some kind of cover before all of them start investigating." Raikou and Entei moaned, voicing their body's protest at even the mere mentioning of moving. Suicune licked her lips, then licked Raikou again, this time a little more fiercely. She then coaxed in a rather seductive tone, "Come on, is little tiger out of spark?" She winked, and as she turned to Entei, she nipped Entei's side. Suicune then broke into a run as both, ignoring their injuries, chased after Suicune, one for pay back and the other out of unwitting arousement. Suicune giggled at the awkward, probably painful way the two pursued her, though as Raikou began catching up Suicune put on a little extra speed. The thought of letting Suicune escape and Raikou catch her first seemed to ease away the paralysis long enough for Entei to begin catching up to Raikou. The three raced off from the plains towards the forest, a small dust trail left behind.
Much to my dismay, I had been easily defeated once Emperion lost his edge. Literally speaking, I managed to soothe my friend all the way to the pokémon center. I never really know what that lady does when I hand her my pokeballs, or when I let my Emperion go into their care, but usually the result was that I got a happy, healthy pokémon. This time was no different. Cynthia, maybe just to rub it in, followed me all the way to the pokémon center in Jubilife. She quickly changed her mind once she realized that, despite the technicalities of the situation, my last pokémon had been unable to battle. I'm not the incredibly competitive type who will literally kill to win, but the fact that she kept that lucario out of its ball the entire flipping time really started to get to me. By the time I got my pokémon back, Emperion included, the sun was beginning to set.
"Man oh man I hope there is a little more diversity in the way your pokémon act," Cynthia complained, "are all of your male party members that easily aroused?" Her terminology may be accurate, but the term "aroused" pricked a raw nerve. "Listen, if it wasn't for my Emperion we wouldn't be having this conversation!" I argued, "had he not saved that ungrateful lucario, you probably would be faced with a huge fine." "Not really, but if you want to look at it that way," Cynthia sighed, audibly seeking compromise on the issue, "then sure." "So what next?" I inquired, "what now?" "I am going to continue patrolling Sinnoh for strange activity," Cynthia replied, "I need to stay on my toes, just in case trouble breaks out with Giratina again." "What's the worst that can happen?" I joked, "your acting like Giratina is the devil." "Well, it was locked up in an alternate universe for a reason you know!" Cynthia countered, "besides, do you even know what is going on?" "No, but neither do you." "Actually, I know more than you." "I bet you do." As we continued our bantering, a small, incomprehensible conversation went on between Lucario and Emperion, though based on the angry growls they too continued to claw at each other's throats. Suddenly, a rather violent rocking began to shake the entirety of the structure. "What's going on?" "Hey, someone battling in the square again?" "I think we better leave." "Aww hell, I was almost done!" That last one came from the men's room. The shaking began getting worse, and the thoughts of this being an earthquake from a pokémon match quickly receded into confusion. Pokémon began barking, screeching, howling, even roaring, sending both terrified trainers and pokémon alike from the building. Looking back, I'm almost ashamed to say I was one of those trainers who completely freaked out when the pokémon started going nuts. Upon reaching the outside, however, I quickly learned that Cynthia MAY have had something going on...
High, REALLY high, in the sky was Palkia, Dialga, Arceus, and Giratina. However, Giratina looked slightly brighter than before. The three on one match continued to erupt, as it became a tussle and a rumble, a true shakedown as Giratina struggled to overcome the clear disadvantage it had when it came to numbers. I could only stare in relative shock, as were many other spectators, but Cynthia realized the actual danger of being underneath such a fight. "We need to evacuate Jubilife!" Cynthia shouted as a random shockwave almost shook us all from our feet. How long had THIS been going on? As blue uniformed policemen and women began slowly ordering everyone out, I made a rather important and, now that I think about it, stupid decision. "I'm going to capture one of them..." I muttered to Emperion. My blue companion looked at me as if I had just gone off the deep end, but the opportunity to have in my possession four of the Sinnoh legends was all too alluring. I motioned for Emperion to follow, and I quickly made my way towards the Jubilife TV station...
"Son of a..." Zapdos began, the piercing wind chilling him to the very bone, "Lugia." "Usually its son of a bitch, but..." Articuno began until the joke set in. Moltres sighed. "You know Zapdos, that kind of attitude is why we have been summoned in the first place." "Bullshit," Zapdos spat, "the only reason we have been summoned is because Lugia needs to see some other birds." "Don't forget that BOTH our technical superiors, Ho-Oh AND Lugia are females AND birds," Moltres warned, "and since Entei just went feminine too, it's up to the legendary bird brothers to flare up the testosterone around here! Not get ourselves into unwinnable fights!" "Inspiring speech, but seriously, I sometimes question even Arceus' intentions at times," Articuno interjects, "I mean seriously, not sure whether its a pacifist or lazy. And besides, the three of us, without backup, will only end up like Entei if we mess around." "I think you two are paranoid and overly bitching about this," Zapdos jeered, "listen to the two of you, I swear its like Suicune and Lugia having a conversation!" "You better change that attitude, I hear Lugia is in one of her fits again," Moltres warned yet again. "Fuck that, I am who I am, and no white and blue excuse for a psychic dragon is going to tell ME how to speak, eat, fly, or even freaking think!" Zapdos announced. Unfortunately for the lightning bird, it was a bit too loud. Moments after the statement left Zapdos' beak did he find himself surrounded in distortion. Next thing he knows, a rather large white foot positioned itself on top of his body, threatening to crush him if much more force were applied. The unforgiving, scorching earth beneath Zapdos invoked a burning sensation all along his back. "Excuse for a psychic dragon hm?" the foot's owner spat, "better than being a hotheaded birdbrain who can barely go a sentence without cursing!" Lugia's breath faintly smelled of blood and mint, normally two odd combinations. Zapdos could only imagine the taste in her mouth as he squawked and screeched in an attempt to break free, but Lugia effortlessly kept her hold. As Moltres and Articuno arrived on the scene, Lugia looked towards them. "Are you sure you wouldn't mind if I kill him? This bird has really gotten under my skin ever since we first met, and Arceus can always whip up another Zapdos for your trio later on." "Listen, Lugia, listen to reason," Moltres quickly said, desperate to change Lugia's thinking, "Latios is blue and white, in case you didn't realize." Although Lugia didn't seem to really believe Moltres suggestion about Zapdos referring to Latios rather than her, she allowed Zapdos the freedom of movement nonetheless. "I called the three of you here because of that," Lugia explained, gesturing towards a towering structure with swirling dark clouds around them, "Arceus is going after Giratina with Palkia and Dialga as backup, and he wants us to go after that thing that came with her." "Don't you mean it?" Articuno corrected, "Giratina and Arceus never choose genders, regardless of their forms." Lugia stared down Articuno, her look expressing all the rage at the fact that Articuno just tried to correct her. "I know for a fact that Giratina is a female this go round," Lugia continued, calming down somewhat, "primarily because Arceus told me, not to mention the fact I spot a female when I see one." "Nice to see you got that situation sorted out before they invented mirrors.." Zapdos snickered. Lugia decided to let one that go, for the sake of the possible fight ahead, and gestured for the legendary bird trio to follow. She lifted herself from the ground, and, with the brothers behind her, Lugia began flying towards Citidark Island.
"YES!" cried Spector as the shining orb in the center of the room began glowing brightly, "Giratina will be pleased to know that this worked." Spector smiled. The thought of returning officially to this world practically caused him an orgasm on his way here, but getting his old body back was even better. Because then he could actually have an orgasm. He sighed though, as he could already sense Lugia's presence in particular approaching the island. "Just great, my splitting up idea is suddenly looking like a bad idea..." Spector murmured, the orb continuing to shine brightly, "come on, if I can just get my body back before she and her doggy trio show up..." Suddenly Spector began sensing not the regular dog fire of Entei, but the burning passion of Moltres. "Hm, well that seems to be new..." Spector murmured, "things have changed a lot since I got here." The orb suddenly began glowing darkly, an ominous black aura radiating off of it as if it were steam. "Just a little longer..." Spector murmured as the wingbeats of the four intruders grew louder, "I just need a little longer..."
Lugia landed roughly onto the top of the platform. She roared at the ghastly looking thing practically drooling over a black orb, shaking the very observatory to its core. Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno covered their ears, but a somewhat sick delight seemed to be emanated from the creature. "Well, nice to see you've gotten bigger since we last met," Spector greeted, "long time no see Giala, assuming you still go by that name." Visibly offended, Lugia shouted, "My name is LUGIA, and if you call me differently then I shall rip you limb from limb!" "Well first I have to get limbs to do that with," Spector chuckled at a volume too low for his quarry to hear. Lugia suddenly charged at the figure until suddenly a bright flash illuminated the room. As the blinding light subsided, Lugia reopened her eyes and was preparing to smash the orb when she realized it was gone. "What the.." she started until a large wing slapped her senseless. When Lugia thudded to the ground, unconscious, Articuno suddenly stared wide eyed at the creature before them. "But.. That's impossible..." Articuno stammered as the beast from their nightmares suddenly began approaching them, chuckling wickedly. Zapdos, the only one of the two with enough sense left, cried "COME ON, its three on one, lets get this son of a bitch!" Encouraged by Zapdos, Moltres flared up his fiery wings again, and Articuno released a chilly sigh. The three charged at the beast, its red eyes narrowing in on the apparent ringleader of them. "Auras, Shorcease!" the creature bellowed, and as suddenly as the charging trio began, Zapdos suddenly turned gray and fell to the ground. Moltres and Articuno ceased charging and looked from Zapdos to the beast and back again. Gasping for breath, Zapdos' grey suddenly began turning blue, and the defiant bird desperately attempted to take in air. "Cease your fighting, or he dies," Spector demanded. The two birds lowered their wings and heads in defeat, and with a smile, Spector uttered, "Release." Zapdos resumed gasping, but as the color returned to Zapdos, it was clear his efforts were no longer in vain. "Who... Who are you?" Moltres asked, head lifted ever so slightly. "I have been known as Spector ever since Arceus dealt with me back in the old days," Spector bellowed, "but my true name, the name I gave myself to distinguish myself from my species, was Shade!" At the very pronouncing of the name, Articuno shuddered, unknowing of the reason why. Moltres looked towards its brothers; both were frightened out of their mind based on their wild expressions, and even Zapdos shook with apparent terror. "I like your spunk Moltres," Shade commented, "even with your brothers cowering in my presence, you remain strong. Moltres doesn't suit you at all." Moltres didn't respond, but raised its head so that it could make eye contact with this Shade. The piercing red eyes from the ghastly seen before were now purple, but other than that a black haze seemed to conceal most of the body from view, save for a single large wing. "From this day forth, you shall be named Molten; the never ceasing fire of the earth!" Shade announced into the heavens, "do you like this name?" Moltres stared down Shade for a moment. Zapdos and Articuno both were in shock; who did this guy think he was, giving Moltres a name? Did he think he was Arceus? Was he a wanna-be... "I accept this name as mine own," Moltres said, "and I await the day you keep your promise." Both Articuno and Zapdos suddenly shuffled towards each other, completely alarmed that Moltres actually accepted a nickname... From some ghastly, ghostly thing that knocked out Lugia with one swipe of its wing. "And my brothers?" Molten asked, peering at them from the corner of his eyes, "what of them?" At last Articuno understood. The being was using telepathy to have a quick, obviously convincing conversation with Moltres... err, Molten. "Depends on what they do next," Shade answered as he approached the two, "flee to Arceus, or embrace the revolution?"
"GAH!" I shouted as I finally reached the top of the building. I had climbed stairs most of the way, but it took a couple good steel wings and some upper body strength to actually make it onto the roof of the Jubilife News Station. The GTS (Global Trading Station) probably would have been a better choice, but I had not thought of it at the time. The fighting continued, and upon realizing that the city was clear, Arceus and his two allies forced Giratina to the ground. Giratina landed right on top of the pokémon center, crushing it and anything still inside with the force of the fall. Blood was running down its face as Giratina shakily stood, panting, facing Arceus. A cry here and a cry there was the only bit of conversation I could catch, but Emperion was deeply interested in the conversation that slowly was turning into a sentence. To what? I would later find out death, but at the time, I had no idea what was going on. But my attention, first and foremost, focused on a black portal that opened above the spot where this was taking place. First Palkia noticed it, then Dialga, Giratina, and at last Arceus. All eyes were on the pokémon who exited the portal, and I felt weak in the knees at the thought I was going to be knocking out more birds with stones. "GO AGRON!" I shouted as I released my aggron from its ball. Yeah, I know there isn't much difference in the nicknaming and all, but when I caught him as an aron, the name seemed perfect. Agron and Emperion stared each other down for five, tenses seconds, probably debating on whether to fight each other or not. A loud screech brought their attention back to the skies, where Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno, and a black lugia appeared from the rift. "Gas Hal Commune Unzio!" shouted the Lugia, and to my surprise I could understand that. "Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, what in the hell are you doing?" Palkia screeched, once again shocking me, "and what happened to Lugia?" "She's taking a nap on Citadel island," Moltres answered, "and I believe you got our names wrong." "About time you showed up," Giratina muttered, and Arceus whirled around back to Giratina. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!" Arceus barked at a ridiculous volume, "you brought SHADE BACK HERE?" "Calm down Arceus, the entire town can hear you," the black lugia chortled, "and I'm sure you don't want to ruin your image in front of humans now do you?" Palkia finally asked the million dollar question, "What is going on here?" "Apparently the infamous Shade has returned," Dialga snorted, "not only that, he seems to have convinced the legendary bird brains to join him." "That's Molten, Zap, and Artic to you Dialga!" Molten screeched, "and dare refer to us like that again and we will kill you where you stand." "Well, SOMEONE finally grew two inches," Dialga jeered, "maybe you want to put your words into action?" Molten screeched, then flew down towards Dialga. Dialga stood rigid, smiling, expecting to literally withstand Moltres' attack easily.
I realized I was in the wrong place. "Emperion, aqua jet!" I shouted, and as Emperion did so, I held my breath and hopped onto Emperion. Agron merely leaped from the building, and upon landing cause a small magnitude to erupt that made Arceus and Giratina aware of our presence within the city. Emperion leaped from the building, and using the water to reduce friction, glided down the side of the building, onto the street, and next to Agron. Agron rolled his eyes as I dismounted, then the three of us began slowly approaching the legendary group. I fingered my ultra balls, more than ready to catch me first a weakened Giratina, then a Moltres who was about to learn how Dialga withstands Palkia's attacks.
"Fool," thought Shade as Molten rammed into Dialga. Much to Dialga's surprise, his very breathe was knocked out, and as he was lifted from his feet and into the air, his shock subsided as bright orange flames chased him to the other side of the city. Dialga roughly landed on its stomach, all four legs spread out on the ground, and before recovering enough to dodge, was engulfed in flames. Molten continued the scorching treatment as Palkia readied an attack to help Dialga. Lifting a single claw, Palkia was preparing to send Molten to a different dimension when suddenly it couldn't move. Frozen to the spot, Artic blew icy cold breath upon Palkia, freezing the gargantuan far faster than previously thought possible. Zap then flapped its wings a bit, screeched, then shot a powerful bolt of thunder from the cloud filled sky to the hapless Palkia. The sudden shock of both being frozen, then bolted more intensely than Palkia thought any of the trio could produce ended up becoming its downfall, and as the ice shattered from the powerful thunder, Palkia collapsed onto the ground, unconscious. Arceus suddenly spat a powerful stream of water at Artic and Zap, downing both birds in a single shot. Then he rushed over to Palkia and nudged him. Palkia warped, then Arceus turned its attention to Molten. By this time however, Shade had descended upon the battlefield, and along with Giratina, tackled Arceus. Arceus managed to avoid being knocked over, but the force of both of them combined was sliding Arceus back. Shade then enclosed its wings around Arceus and swung the legendary around and around in a circle, then flung Arceus into the sky. Then, Shade's eyes glowed white for a short second as Arceus' flight pattern changed from a diagonal upward direction, to a straight down vertical free fall that increased in velocity much faster than gravity alone would have done. As Arceus was slammed into the ground, another screech was heard, and Molten suddenly was down. Surprised, Shade and Giratina turned their attention towards Ho-Oh, who had struck Molten with a quick attack, then redirected its attention to helping Dialga.
Just as I was about to throw a freaking ultra ball at the greatly burned, barely hanging on Dialga, a darn Ho-Oh appeared out of nowhere, screeched at me, then exhaled a stream of fire. Smartly I dodged the attack, and threw a single ultra ball at Dialga. Ho-Oh blocked it, was sucked into the ball, then the ball fell to the ground. Seconds later Ho-Oh broke free, and with a single wing sweep sent me flying. I smacked into the news station, then landed roughly onto the grassy ground. "Go attend to your human PET," Ho-Oh spat at Emperion and Agron, "and I'll attend to Dialga." The two, without hesitation, followed this order, and rushed over to a very dizzy and injured me. I felt pain primarily in my head and chest, though my jaw was aching also. couldn't see or think straight either. I couldn't move an inch, even if my life depended on it, and from red to black went my vision. I guess that is what I get for messing with legendary pokémon in the middle of a... Battle you might call it?
Arceus shakily rose to his feet shaking off the ache from getting slammed by a psychic into the ground. A lugia was taller than him, yes, but he still didn't exactly expect Shade to actually hurl him into the air, then slam him hard into the ground. Knowing at this point the match was lost, Arceus suddenly flashed, then reappeared near Dialga and Ho-Oh. "Retreat!" Arceus ordered as he, Ho-Oh, and Dialga vanished. Shade laughed Uproariously. "You can run Arceus, but you can't hide!" Giratina, its foe now gone, collapsed onto the ground, and the smile left Shade as he realized his side had been smacked around just as much. 'Humph, these legendaries are weak nowadays'... Shade thought to himself as he gathered his fallen bird subjects around Giratina, 'back in my day, this battle would have continued for at least another hour'. The Shade shouted, then, glowing slightly in black aura, the dark side and his comrades vanished seemingly into thin air.
