Chapter 4
It was your typical day in Beat Forest. Pokemon were mingling, as the sun was stationed in the
sky, serving as a beacon of peace, and always shining its rays on those willing to cherish them.
The Eternal Tree was full of life, sprouting more and more berries everyday. It was a good time
for all pokemon alike, and nothing could stop such a bustling community.
Arceus was singing a quick verse for the tree from one of his favorite songs, when Celebi approached
him.
"Hey Celebi, what's up?"
"Well, everything is running smoothly. Ever since those berries started springing up, everyone is
becoming a bit stronger every day. No sign of sickness from any pokemon, and needless to say,
everyone loves the taste! I know there are more and more berries springing up every day, and the
workload of picking, sorting, and saving them has begun to become somewhat of a hassle. So I took
the liberty of finding someone who wants to help out!"
"Oh really? Who might that be? You know every one here has good intentions, but I don't want to
risk any of the berries being unfairly distributed."
"Oh no worries Arceus. I have this under control. You should check out who I found before you
assume you know!"
Celebi led Arceus to to String Shot Caverns, where the bug pokemon loved to try their hand at some
friendly battles amongst each other. When they got there, there was a battle already happening.
A caterpie and a spinarak were having an epic fight, and the crowd of bug pokemon were watching
with amazement. Arceus noticed quickly that the caterpie, though small for its size, was very agile.
It dodged spinarak's poison sting very easily, and it was keen at predicting spinarak's moves. The
spinarak was sweating from exhaustion, and the battle was seeming like a clear cut win. The caterpie
used String Shot very accurately and brought spinarak to the ground as it fainted.
"Yeah, I won! Haha, that's the third one in a row! Oh hey, Celebi, I see your back!"
Caterpie bounced over to Celebi, and Celebi introduced Caterpie to Arceus.
"This is Caterpie. He's becoming a household name lately, due to his superb skill. The best part is,
he doesn't eat more berries than any other Caterpie. He trains himself day in and day out and his
dedication is unbelieveable. He's also the most honest Caterpie in the community, and is known to
everyone as a trustworthy pokemon."
"I get it Celebi. You don't have to give me a speech. I can see Caterpie is a pokemon of honor, and
I already made the decision even before the battle ended. Caterpie, I want to ask you a question."
Caterpie looked at Arceus, nervously awaiting the question. He never actually had the honor of
meeting Arceus in person, so he was sweating up a storm.
"Um-m-m, y-yes Mister Arce-ce-us?"
"How would you like to help me out and be a Sacred Musician?"
Caterpie and Celebi both looked at Arceus blankly. Celebi started drooling, wondering if Arceus
had drank too much honey already.
"Uh, what was that Arceus? What do you mean by Sacred Musician? I'm your right hand pokemon and
even I don't know what that is!"
"Well, I just found out yesterday, I forget to tell you. I recently created a Sacred Musician
Organization, because I just found out I'm able to give my power of singing to the tree
to other pokemon as well.
Caterpie fainted, and Celebi's jaw dropped to the ground.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?"
"Well, Luxray had come by the other day and told me he found an ancient drawing in his cave, so
I followed him there. I read what seemed to be an ancient song from the wall, and all of a sudden
Luxray started glowing. He said he felt a sort of energy, and the way he described it, I knew it was
the same energy I felt when I sang to the tree. So I convinced him to come to the tree last
night and sing a little tune. After hearing his horrible vocals, a berry sprouted and we realized
that by using that ancient song, I can give others the power to feel the tree's energy. I can even
take it away by singing the second part of the song."
"...any reason you nor Luxray informed of any of this last night?"
"Oh, I forgot. Silly me."
Arceus smiled, and Celebi's hand landed on his face and he shook his head. He carried Caterpie and
walked with Arceus back to the tree. After waking Caterpie up, they watched as Caterpie started to
panic.
"Where am I? Why do I feel weird inside? I feel tingly! AM I HAVING A HEART ATTACK? OH NO!"
"Caterpie, relax! Arceus sang you to while you were unconscious, and he made you an official Sacred
Musician. That energy you feel is the energy from the Eternal Tree. We have entrusted you with
the power to help this tree grow berries."
"M-m-m-me? Really? Oh thank you so much guys! I won't let you down! I promise!"
"No problem Caterpie. You deserve it, being a hardworker and all. I would be honored for you to
help us out."
Caterpie's face lightened up as bright as the tree, and he grinned antennae to antennae. He always
helped from that day on, lifting the workload from Celebi and Arceus, and serving the bug community.
Caterpie would be one of many pokemon destined to be a Sacred Musician, and he held a huge part in
creating a legend among legends of some of the most honorable Pokemon pokemon to ever live in Beat
Forest.
