A lone gardevoir sat in the remnants of a ruined mansion, crying uncontrollably. Behind her, a gallade stood sentry, his arms crossed angrily. A charizard and flygon sat at what was once the entrance to the mansion, peering out into the green garden angrily.

"Gardevoir," Gallade began, hesitating as he thought of his words carefully. "It's been five years since he disappeared. I miss him too, but, with the mansion destroyed, we can't stay here."

"But he's gonna come back!" Gardevoir assured. "We just have to wait. A few more days? Please, for me?"

Gallade growled, but submitted to his wife's plea. "Fine, a few more days. But after that, we're leaving."

Gardevoir, rose to her feet, wiping her eyes. "Thank you, my love," she kissed her husband, but she secretly felt nothing at the interaction. She knew who her true love was and, the this Gallade was far more than good to her, she knew she would one day have to go to her love. If he was still alive, that is.

"Thank you for staying with us," Gardevoir said gratefully as she approached Charizard and Flygon. "I really appreciate it. You guys don't have to do this."

"He's our friend and leader," Charizard growled, insinuating that the statement was stupid. "We don't want to leave without him either. Lucario's a tough pokemon. He wouldn't be killed so easily. I'd be killed before him, and that didn't happen."

"So you believe he's alive?" Gardevoir asked, her eyes full of hope. "Do you really believe that?"

"'Course I do!" Charizard huffed, a small flame escaping from his mouth. "In fact, I bet he's on his way here right now!"

Gardevoir smiled, tears springing to her eyes as she hugged the fire and flying type. "He better be! I miss him so much."

"We all do," Flygon commented. "But we may want to leave very soon."

The green pokemon gestured to the garden with his head. Everyone watched as a small pink pokemon floated past the greenery. It was a god, one of the first gods. It was Mew.

"Mew?" The innocent looking legendary chirped as it caught sight of the pokemon taking shelter inside the ruined mansion. Its tail flipped happily back and forth as it approached.

"Lady Gardevoir, run," Flygon whispered, getting into a battle stance. "Charizard and I will buy you time. Get out of here."

"Please don't go," the pink pokemon cried. "I don't wanna hurt you. I need your help."

Charizard and Flygon hesitated, midway in preparing their respective attacks. Gardevoir pushed past them to approach the small god. She smiled brightly, welcoming the pokemon into what had once been her home.

"I need your help," Mew repeated. "I don't like what the other gods are doing, and I'm not the only one. We're building up an army to fight back. We could use the pokemon that went claw-to-claw with the twin dragons."

"Of course!" Gardevoir clapped happily, not taking her friends into consideration. "How big is your army? Who else is with you?"

Mew sighed, shaking his head sadly. "Right now? Three: me, Jirachi, and Celebi. We didn't begin building our army until recently, when a lone lucario managed to defeat Regirock."

Gardevoir stared at Mew in shock. She just knew that was her Lucario. The pokemon she loved more than anything was fighting his way to her, one god at a time. He would make it eventually.

"We're in," Gardevoir agreed for the rest of her group. "We're going to help you bring down the other gods."
