Left over, but not forgotten.
I don't own Pokémon.
"And what, might I ask, do you have to say for yourselves?" the irate Arceus asked the two smaller legendaries before him.
"I raise the moon and keep Darkrai in check. Isn't that full time job enough?" Cresselia complained to Arceus. "I gave you all clear orders. If I have not selected you a champion, go out and find one. We need twenty one of them, but no more."
"Well? I didn't find one, I didn't ask to be in a group, you didn't select me one. Can I go now?"
"No. I'll find somewhere to put you that you're appreciated and useful. Just you watch."
Arceus strode over to his stellar gazer water sphere. It changed from reflecting the stars to reflecting an organized list of champions and their legendaries.
21 champions. 45 legendaries.
"Since you're psychic, it would be best to put you with another group of psychics…. Well, there Mew and the lake trio for Harold Golding, the cousin of Sabrina, and cousin of Tate and Liz the duo psychic gym leaders of Heonn. Wait…. Mew and the Lake Trio? That's an old combination. Best not to disturb such a well oiled machine. Besides, they're too childish for you. How about the other boy, Blake Trinity? Oh…. Mewtwo and Deoxys? Probably not the best choice to add you too. They're much to dark and gritty for you and your perfect world view."
"Hey! Knock it off!"
"Well then, if you don't fit in a psychic category group, let's see where else. You could go to Fern with Celebi and Shaymin? They're grass type. You know, Shaymin is nice but strict, and Celebi is sort of no-nonsense… Nah, you'd not fit. How about you work with Darkrai with Mindy Trinity? Oh… she's got a tough past for a human. Best not. Horrible idea. Plus Darkrai doesn't like you too much. That boy really should learn to respect his sister more."
Cresselia watched as Arceus quickly forgot she was there and became wrapped up in his work, even if it was about her. Victini sat cheerfully on Cresselia's head.
"Hank and Gilbert Warren? Bad idea. Glad I never thought about it. Cory and Genesect? (Hugh? NO! He's so creepy! The both of them actually.)
"Manaphy and Kyogre? Wait no; I took Keldeo away from them. Adding you would just be a recipe for a horrible water champion."
(Dad!)
"Rayquasa, Latios, Latias for Kendal Roy Dragon? No… that's just odd.
How about you help Kyurem? He's never had a champion before. I'm sure he'll be glad for the help. Humph…. Actually no, bad idea. Again you two are too different…
I think the only option left is I make you help Vidar, but I really wanted to just do this by myself…. Shame…."
"Put me with Moloetta and her champion Taylor." Cresselia finally spoke up helpfully.
Arceus looked over the roster thoughtfully.
"Sound, art, and beauty. Okay, you would fit in. But it just so happens Moloetta is one of my favorite. She's such a good girl, and she never has any problems."
"She and I get along like glitter and glue Dad. Plus, she's never done this before, so she could use the help of a seasoned veteran to this stuff."
"But I can't spare anyone else!"
"I meant me. Thanks. I want to help her. She's my favorite sister. She comes to me when she needs to talk. She's angry at you too you know. She resents not ever getting orders."
"WHAT? I gave her orders! She was to be all of creativity! ….. I never told her did I?"
"Nope."
"And she did it anyways? That's dedication and talent right there."
"Okay, sure, but she's still not very powerful. She needs someone like me to help her. She did well in raising Taylor all by herself, but she's going to run into problems sooner or later, and it would help if someone like me was on hand. I promise I won't interfere! Please!"
"Fine, but you've got to ask your sister."
Cresselia was gone before he turned around.
Sitting on the golden tiles of the Hall of Origin was the small fire psychic elf creature known as Victini.
Arceus often pondered the creation of Victini. As far as he knew Victini had no job. He could not remember creating Victini. As far as he knew Victini was not very powerful.
Nothing Victini said was understandable under any language ever made, according to Uxie.
(If you listened to it really hard it sounded like the legendary's Omni-speak except ten thousand times faster)
Victini had never sponsored a champion as far as Arceus knew, although he had meddled greatly with humans.
Victini was like Mew, except Mew took orders if you offered her candy.
If you gave Victini candy he went on a century long sugar high and caused world devastating forest fires. He also rode carnival rides.
Victini had been permanently banned from anything caffeinated.
Arceus speculated the universe could be destroyed twenty times faster by Victini on meth than by all of the other forty six legendaries combined.
Arceus sat down looking at the small Fire spirit. It happily stared back at him with great big eyes and those spiky ears.
Just before Arceus was going to open his mouth and ask "What am I going to do with you?" Victini straightened up like a lightening rod, threw a two finger salute, and was off so fast he left a fire trail and black streaks on the golden bricks.
"I'm glad we had this conversation." Arceus told the fire trail.
Victini might have been created when Arceus had a headache and a bad day and wished to give the entire world the same feeling he had in his skull. Or maybe God didn't notice he had created a fluffy red Pikachu with no tail and fire and psychic powers.
