Chapter 5: Memory Gap, Cavern of the Damned
Arc, Grim and Kane were waiting patiently for Jenny and Ryu to wake up. Kane nodded off against Grim who smiled at the little Jackal like Pokemon but kept his eyes on Arc who was training quietly keeping his strength and agility up. Grim heard a low growl form in the back of Ryu's throat and the cursing of a person named 'Mars'. Not liking the way the Charmeleon was wriggling in his sleep Grim decided to wake him up.
"Hey Ryu wake up". Grim whispered
Ryu snarled at first but after opening his eyes he noticed the black Garchomps concerned face and fatherly like stance.
"God damn nightmares". Ryu seethed
"Don't you mean Arceus damn nightmares". Grim asked
"No, God damn nightmares". Ryu retorted "I don't believe in Arceus as our God".
Grim was astonished "Really why do you say that".
"Because the legend of Arceus says it just magically appeared in a world of nothingness". Ryu said "Nothing can just appear something has to make it".
"Then who made Arceus". Grim asked
"I don't know". Ryu sighed
Grim decided to drop the subject but if Ryu does have more nightmares he'll ask him about them. Kane was in his claw/paws being held by Grim as if he was of his kin. Grim took a liking to the little Riolu because he saw a lot of himself in him bravery, recklessness and intelligence. He woke up Jenny after he saw Arc on one of his most fascinating exercises and he also woke up Kane who gave Grim a tiny smile and turned his head to what Grim was pointing at.
Arc was training harder now. He was mad that the Garchomp that was now his ally required him to use one of his most strongest moves. So while Ryu and Jenny have been sleeping he was training the whole time never taking a break. He noticed Grim looking at him every so often he didn't know why but regardless he kept going. When he saw Ryu up he was going even harder now making good of most of the time left. He finished his last exercise by twirling his scythe like a baton well his sword was whipping around in his other arm then he tossed the sword up into the air hitting it with his scythe sending it flying forward. Sprinting as fast as he could Arc rocketed past his sword and put his scythe away and with précised timing caught the blade with his hands before it pierced into his skull. Arc relaxed himself but his ears twitched when he heard clapping and looked over to see his Pokemon looking at him indicating that they were watching him.
"Bravo, Arc". Grim spoke first.
"Um how long were you guys watching me". Arc asked
"Just this last one". Ryu responded "How do you run so fast".
"I don't know I guess I just can". Arc answered "Anyway we should get going Oreburgh is just through that cave".
Everyone nodded except Grim who couldn't quite figure it out but he has seen speed like that before.
Arc and co entered the cave but because of the brush couldn't read the sigh that said 'Welcome to Oreburgh tunnel also known as Cavern of the Damned.
Darkrai and Giratina emerged from the shadows at route 2 just outside Jubilife. Both legends of darkness changed into their human forms so they wouldn`t be noticed by civilians. Darkrais human form was 5`11 with white hair with a bang that covered one of his eyes he was wearing a black shirt with a red collar and black jeans with red shoes. His visible eye was a cyan color and he had pale white skin. Giratina had two red eyes with a gray hoodie and red and grey jeans. His hair had two pointed spikes were his horns were and his hair was a dirty blond. Yeah they kinda stuck out In a crowd.
"Alright let's look for information". Darkrai said
"Right, now what are we looking for". Giratina asked
"Which direction, if he's actually been here, and that's about it". Darkrai answered
Giratina nodded and went one way and Darkrai went the other. Before Giratina left Darkrai gave him a picture of Arc so he could ask people the questions. Darkrai went to check the Pokemon center hoping he said something about where he was going. Darkrai went up to the nurse of the center.
"Hello ma'am". Darkrai greeted
"Hello sir what could I do for you". The nurse asked.
"Have you seen this boy". Darkrai asked showing the nurse Arcs picture
"Why yes I have he was here a day and a half ago". The nurse answered
'Great so he was here', "Did he say where he was going". Darkrai asked
"He said something about Oreburgh I don't really know". The nurse answered
"Thank you ma'am". Darkrai thanked and bowed before leaving the center
Giratina had no luck at finding anything about Arc except that a destroyed Galactic 'base' was destroyed and a witness named Arc as the destroyer relived citizens that one of those buildings where gone.
'Your boys got guts Dark' Giratina thought to himself
Giratina surveyed the scene noticing all the flaming bodies of Galactic grunts but lots of bodies where not even touched. The pile of Galactic bodies had a note beside them labeled 'Damned' and the non touched bodies had one that said 'to late to save, step up the pace'. Giratina liked what he saw the boy had a good sense of justice exactly what the world needed now that humans and pokemon were not getting along. Giratina stepped away and went to find Darkrai hoping he had better luck.
Darkrai was waiting at the Route 3 gate waiting for Giratina. Since Darkrai knew were Arc was heading he and Giratina were going to shadow travel there and wait. At a unfortunate time Darkrai got a sudden headache indicating a continuation of yesterdays memory.
(Flashback: 12 years ago)
Darkrai was tearing through the forest at a inhuman speed his human form gone and his true form showing. Furious roars were heard far behind him the black Garchomp hunting him down for unknown reasons. Darkrai was experiencing sadness he hasn't felt since before meeting Saria. The only thing keeping him from ripping a part that Garchomp was his kids safety and his promise to Saria. No Pokemon disturbed the lord of nightmares as he dashed past them. The roars were getting closer and Darkrai was running out of options.
"I'll have to shadow travel hopefully the boy can handle it". Darkrai muttered
A dark portal appeared in front of Darkrai and he stepped through it to the Distortion world. As he closed the portal he heard the raspy roar of his fellow legend of Darkness the Renegade Pokemon Giratina.
"Darkrai what do I owe the honor of-". Giratina started but stopped as he noticed the bundle in Darkrais arms. "Uh Dark why do you have a baby".
"I have this baby because he's my child". Darkrai answered
"Congrats so whos the mom, it's Cresselia isn't it". Giratina guessed
"No". Darkrai said
"Shaymin, Mesprit, Suicune, Mew, Reshiram, Virizion, Latias, Regice, Kyogre, Ho-oh". Giratina listed
"No". Darkrai said
"It better not be Dialga or else Dark". Giratina growled.
"The mother is not a Pokemon". Darkrai finally answered
"A human women". Giratina breathed uneasily
"Yes". Darkrai whispered
"You rule breaking dog". Giratina howled in laughter "now this is funny".
"This is no laughing matter Giratina". Darkrai hissed
"So what are you going to do about him". Giratina inquired
"I don't know". Darkrai answered
They both didn't say anything more and just looked at the baby.
(Flashback halted)
Darkrai snapped out of his memory and saw Giratina running up to him. Giratina stopped just infront of him.
"Did you find what you needed". Giratina asked
"Yes we need to go to Oreburgh and shadow travel is the quickest way". Darkrai answered
Giratina nodded and both dark legends walked to route 3 to look for a safe place to make a shadow portal.
Arc and co entered the cavern. It was dark but bright enough to actually see anything, the walls were covered in gems and stones. The cavern was a wonderful sight however Arc couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Grim noticed it to there was something unnatural about this cavern but it was the only way at the moment Arc and his pokemon could get to Oreburgh.
"Damn place is creeping me out" Ryu grumbled.
"Yeah but why is there no one here" Jenny asked
Arc kept studying the area around them then something whizzes past his vision making him widen his eyes.
"Everyone but Grim return NOW" Arc exclaimed
No one argued as they heard inhuman moans and eerie screams. Arc drew his scythe and looked over at his battle partner who looked determined as he was. Suddenly a arm tears through the floor of the cave and the skeleton of a Sandslash except it still had parts of flesh that started dripping down it's figure. A few more popped out also a couple of Combuskens with pale skin that were covered in green feathers.
"W-what the fuck". Arc stuttered
"Oh Arceus this is most disturbing" Grim groaned
"What are they" Arc asked
"Either they are possessed remains or risen dead the difference being there is a single puppeteer rather than many".
"Well I guess we'll see when we send them back to there grave" Arc snarled
Arc and Grim took their stances and waited for the onslaught to begin. A few of the sandslash things came charging and the both of them took their own set. Arc swung and caught the rib cage of a Sandslash thing which knocked its bones around falling it but to Arc astonishment it rose up and charged at him claws slashing with malicious intent. Arc parried most of the blows but a few got him making him bleed but while he wasn't looking a vibrant dark aura wrapped itself around his wound healing it bit by bit. Arc was getting pissed so he grabbed one of the things heads and tore it off and started to slam it repeatedly into the ground making Pokemon brain mush up and split into pieces. Arc did the same thing to his other opponent's till the combuskens were left. Arc was pretty mad but kept it under check in case 'that' ever happened again. The Combuskens were not to difficult what Arc did was take his scythe and cleaved them in half and waited for it to start repairing them selfs then while they were doing that he took there heads since they couldn't move and cut them to ribbons
Grim was watching Arc since he was a Pokemon he used his natural abilities to easily overcome his disturbed foes and he noticed the dark aura around Arcs hand when he got hurt.
'This further confirms my suspicions he is the child I have been seeking the boy that could either save everything or cause it all to fall' Grim thought to himself.
Arc looked over at Grim who was staring at him funny.
"Hey everything ok over there". Arc called out
"Yes everything's fine" Grim replied "Now let's get going".
Arc nodded and him and the dragon walked further into the tunnel. Arc wasn't sure to let everyone out so he didn't just in case they didn't get separated and lost. A little more way in they made it to a clearing inside the cave which confused them greatly as to why a giant circle would be in a cave.
"Ok could this place get any weirder". Arc exclaimed "First the eerie feeling, then the fucked up creatures and now a battlefield in a cave".
"This is indeed odd but what purpose does it serve". Grim inquired
"Its purpose black fiend is to fulfill the requests of the damned". Spoke a mysterious masculine voice
"Whos there, show your self coward". Arc roared which made the voice chuckle
"Oh where are my manners bastard son of the dark lord" the voice said and walked out of the darkest part of the clearing showing a guy three years older then Arc wearing a gray top hat with a red trench coat and black satanic patterns on his shoulders in dark gray dress pants and black shoes with red stripes on them.
"My name is Shadoric Aradon" Shadoric introduced him self "Or you could call me the Blood Necromancer".
