Void

Chapter 6

Oh Shut Up!

"WEAVILE FOR THE LOVE OF ARCEUS WOULD YOU PLEASE SHUT THE HELL UP!?"

A loud twittering of wings signalled the annoyance of many Staravia and Starly lifting off. Emme's scream at her Weavile would scare anyone. Her Weavile huffed and dropped the bread she had. The Weavile had been chattering loudly at how she would be devouring the food. "Gah, I want some damn fud and you won't give me any," the Weavile retorted, nimbly climbing a tree and perching on a high branch, folding her arms. Emme growled back. "I'm not a piglet like you, I don't need to eat 30 times a day." Weavile hissed and spat at her and jumped out of sight.

Ratchet ambled into view, lazily dragging a clove of Pecha Berries behind her. "Hope you had to know the trouble I went through for these," the dragon growled at Emme, whose back was to her as she set up her camera on its tripod. "Oh geez, fly up, grab, fly down. Real hard work." Emme was too preoccupied with the camera to notice Ratchet's glare. The dragon sighed and lay down, bored once more. "How much fricken longer are we hanging around here?" she asked her Trainer, who shrugged. "Until that Darkrai shows up. Unless Mr. Grayman lied to me agai--" Emme face palmed.

Ratchet carefully flew up to Mrs. Grayman, hovering just below the woman's feet. "JOYCE GET ON THE SALAMENCE!" yelled Mr. Grayman, rubbing his hands through his prematurely gray hair. The woman's hazel eyes widened at the sight of the majestic dragon. "Why!?" she yelped, clinging to the wooden telephone poll. Emme giggled stupidly and received a sharp blow to her head. Ratchet rolled her eyes, her head nudging Mrs. Grayman's foot lightly. The woman squeaked at the contact and immediately slid down the pole the hard way. Ratchet stared down, her eye twitching. "What...the...fudge?" the Salamence gaped, sighing irritably. She slowly descended, casting a light glare down at the woman, but stopping as she reminded herself she'd get cupcakes. Mm, cupcakes.

Ratchet ambled over to Mr. Grayman and stared at him expectantly once she touched ground. The man looked down, confused. "Sorry Ratchet, there are no cupcakes," he said, frowning. Emme backed away from her Salamence. Ratchet's eye twitched. Mr. Grayman's eyes widened as her fangs locked onto his leg. "NOMNOMNOM! I WANT MY CUPCAKES!!!" she roared insanely, clinging to his leg as he flailed and fell over. The Salamence loomed over him, her eyes promising a fast death. Emme watched her Salamence lose it. "Aah, better give her what she wants, Mr. Grayman, uh...she's not one for negotiating when it comes to cupcakes," she suggested. The terrified man gulped and nodded. "Gah! J-Joyce! We need some vanilla cupcakes, pronto!" he stuttered in fear. His wife nodded and ran off, muttering things about insane dragons ruling the world.

Two Hours Later. --

"You need me to WHAT!?"

Emme gawked at her boss. Mr. Grayman sighed, boredly watching Ratchet devour a fresh tray of icing covered cupcakes. "Yes...you have to. Everyone else is too scared to visit that place," he sighed. "Ratchet will get you there easily; why are you complaining?"

The girl sighed herself. "It's just...why the hell do you need a fricken picture of a Legendary who probably doesn't exist?" she challenged. Her boss smiled. "Our magazine would be the top of Sinnoh if we had Darkrai's face on the cover! We'd make thousands, maybe even millions," he stated, fantasizing about the oppurtunities. Emerald rolled her eyes. "Greedy, pudgy old fart," she hissed under her breath. In her corner, Ratchet snorted in laughter, but disguised it as choking. Mr. Grayman's eyebrows rose and Emme flushed. "Ah, fine I'll do it. I said; Really edgy art. Yeah," she smiled, embarrassed slightly.

"Ugh, what a greedy asshole," she hissed to herself, putting her hands on her hips and gazing around. Ratchet drifted off into sleep. Weavile sighed in fatigue and fell asleep soon after Ratchet. Emme plopped herself down onto a rock, relaxing. Her eyes began to flutter as she fought to stay awake. That is, until she heard a scraping noise. Jumping up, her bright eyes gazed around. A dark shadow was scratching a tree trunk nearby, its dark arm flailing around inside a small hole carved skillfully. Emme gasped silently and scuttled over to her camera. She set it up and peered at the shadow as the flash went off and captured the theif. In its hand it held the Treasure of Darkrai, the Nightmare Pendant. The shadow froze, staring directly at Emme with red eyes. It zoomed forwards, knocking the tripod to the ground and grabbing Emme. She screamed in terror as her world was encased in black.

--Latias, Giratina, Kyogre, Lugia, Uxie, Regigigas Scene Change (dang that was long)

BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG. BANG. BA--"GIRATINA CUT IT OUT BEFORE I CUT YOUR HEAD OFF!"

Latias was glaring at the great dragon who was currently bashing his golden head off of a wall. With each bang, he muttered: "I. am. so. dumb." The red Eon sister had flown over and started pulling on his wings, his legs, whatever she could get to. But it seemed to be doing nothing to the poor, eh, boy. Lugia rolled his eyes, gazing absentmindedly at the Renegade Pokemon. "Serves him right for forgetting it." Kyogre spat a torrent of water and forced Lugia to crack his silvery head off of a nearby wall. "Ow."

The water Guardian huffed at him. "Don't be so RUDE, Lugia. Wouldn't you rather be more focused on saving someone than your treasure?" she spat. Lugia snorted. "I wouldn't worry about the latter. Mine's always with me," he grinned back. An Ice Beam caught his head and caused him to topple over. Latias giggled. Uxie groaned. Regigigas beeped. Uxie stared at Lugia, obviously confused. "What's up with you? You're usually so much more mature," she snorted, crossing her arms. The bird chuckled, rising up and shifting his wings. "Eesh, I try and make a joke and get shot down. I just wanted to lighten the situation. You're all so ... negative!" he said, glaring at them all. Uxie fell onto the cave floor, obviously struggling with the urge to smack him. "You..ugh. I'm speechless." Lugia sighed, turning away from them all. "Well...Giratina...maybe Cresselia noticed your lack of brains moment and grabbed it. Yeah. Say that happened. Would you happen to know where she might be heading?" he asked, turning to the dragon.

Giratina paused in his head bashing, red eyes thoughtful. "Yeah...I can guess."

Lugia sighed in exasperation. "Guess? ...ugh, it'll have to do," he mumbled, annoyed. Giratina hissed at him as Lugia turned away. "My guess...NewMoon Island." Latias, who had decided to take a sip of water while chatting to Kyogre, spewed water all over said titan. "W-WHAT!?" Before anyone could say a word, she collapsed in laughter. "No way! S-She hates Darkrai!" she cried, laughing to the point of tears. Kyogre chuckled faintly. "Oh...Latias you have so much to learn about love," she mused to herself. Giratina rolled his eyes at the young sibling. "Well, where the heck else do you think she would go?" The Eon Pokemon immediately stopped laughing. "...good point." Lugia turned back to them. "Then it's settled. Latias, Kyogre, we'll depart to NewMoon Island to retrieve idiot dragon's Treasure," he rumbled, flaring his silvery wings. Giratina raised his head and hissed again. "Shut up. And why can't I go?" he demanded, stomping over. Lugia looked at Regigigas and back to Giratina. "None of us can teleport. Simple. Go find someone to annoy. Like Mew." Lugia lifted off, ignoring the hisses of anger coming from the Renegade Pokemon. Giratina watched Latias follow the great silver bird with bitterness, head slightly tilting as Kyogre submerged herself at the watery entrance to follow. He turned his red gaze to the yellow Regigigas. "What?"

"You have no spine," the other Pokemon replied, making Uxie and Giratina gasp respectively. "How...what...!?" they gawked. Regigigas gave a booming laugh. "OH! Hahaha, I keep forgetting. I only beep at other because it annoys them. I love doing that." Uxie groaned. "You're horrid," she spat, zooming over to pick up her Knowledge Crest. She looked at Giratina, then Regigigas. "Well? We gotta go find Mew or whatever. I think she's at...the beach?" she said, confused. "Lazy cat!"

Giratina and Regigigas chuckled heartily, stepping forwards and standing by the small sprite. Giratina's black wings twitched as he held a paw out. "Grab hold, I suppose." The two did as they were requested, and soon all three had vanished from sight.

--

Lugia laughed jovially as he dipped a wing into the rippling waters, the soft glow of the moon brilliantly illuminating his silver body. Latias followed his wake, gently soaring above the rolling waves as Kyogre glided silently below her. The Eon Pokemon breathed in the salty air, her amber eyes smiling. "Isn't it gorgeous?" she commented, dipping one of her wings towards the water, lightly skimming it. Kyogre chuckled. "I can't get over it myself. Even with what's been going on...you can still stop and marvel at the beauty of nature," she responded, gently rocking as a rough wave lapped against her blue body. Lugia slowed himself with a flare of his wings and drifted along by Latias. "Enjoy it while you can...there looks to be storm clouds ahead." He nodded towards the gloomy clouds beginning to creep into view, ruining the perfect night sky of navy blue speckled with white. Latias sighed, a sad look creeping into her eyes. Kyogre cuffed Lugia as he dipped his head for a quick drink. "Way to ruin the mood."

The silver legendary merely shrugged. Thunder crackled threateningly overhead as they raced into the storm. Luckily, NewMoon Island was just a few moments away. However, a strange noise reached them as they came closer. Latias cocked her head to the side, confused. "What is that...doesn't sound like Darkrai..." she said slowly. It was the roar of a distressed dragon. Lugia gasped as a shadow came flying out of the woods bordering the edge of the island. "It's a...Salamence?" he said, confusion evident. The Salamence had panic in its eyes as it stopped before them. "Please, you gotta help me! My T-Trainer, she was kidnapped by a shadowy creature while I was sleeping!" it gasped, tears staining its cheeks. The three legendaries nodded and helped the Salamence back to the island.

When all were settled at the shore (for Kyogre's sake), they listened to the Salamence, whose named was Ratchet. "Yes...I belong to a trainer...her name is Emerald. S-she was sent here to take pictures of Darkrai if he was around. But something happened to her when I fell asleep. I heard her scream out, and when I opened my eyes, she was gone! There was a picture on her camera, somewhere in the forest...I think she got a picture of the thing before it vanished. But I was too scared to stay back." Ratchet shuddered. Lugia frowned. "A picture of her kidnapper? Are you sure?" he questioned gently. Ratchet nodded, her head facing down. Lugia glanced at Latias and Kyogre. "Kyogre...can you keep an eye on Ratchet? Latias...will you accompany me into the forest to find this...camera?" he asked both, who nodded in response. Lugia smiled kindly at Ratchet. "We'll find her, I promise."

Lugia soared above the leafy tops, his eyes gazing down as he watched Latias swerve in and out of the trees. "Down here!" she yelled, stopping in a clearing. Seeing enough room, Lugia flared his wings and set himself down gently, causing the earth to shudder gently. Latias lowered herself to the ground, gently picking up a black, flashing object. "This must be it," she said, handling it carefully. Lugia bent his head down to peer at it. "Make it do something."

The Eon Pokemon snorted. "Yeah, ask me to do it...ai." She pressed a button on it, and the back lit up. She turned the camera over in her paws, gazing at the lights. They dimmed to reveal a shocking figure. But before the focus became clearer, the camera shut off. Lugia stared, his mouth open expectantly. Latias blinked. Then she began to rapidly shake the camera. "WORK, DAMN YOU!" she hissed, throwing it. There was a thunk as it sailed into the darkness. "Ow." Latias screamed and flew behind Lugia, who glared into the dark. It was Darkrai. The Nightmare legendary rubbed his head where the camera had struck. "Gee, thanks for the warm welcome," he hissed, his blue-green eye gazing at the pair. Lugia rolled his eyes. "You're welcome."

Darkrai glared at them. He turned away and searched a tree that had a hole carved in it. A look of surprise and fear seemed to flitter across his face before vanishing like that. "Would either of you like to inform me of the whereabouts of my Nightmare Pendant?" he drawled, turning to them. Latias shivered. "No...oh...crap. It's gone?" she gasped. Darkrai stared at her, as if she was dumb. "What do you think?"

Lugia uttered a growl, a rare noise. "Don't snap at her," he rumbled, looming over the annoyed dark Pokemon. Darkrai snorted, melting away into the shadows. "Get the hell off my island. Now." His voice was full of unbridled anger. Lugia glared after him, angry with how he was taking this. "You brat. You can't just order us away because you're pissed that your Treasure is gone. Here's an idea. Next time, keep the damn thing where you can watch it," Lugia growled, taking flight and vanishing over the treetops. Latias whimpered softly. Darkrai's voice floated over the silence. "Get going. Now. Before I make you." She hissed at him before gently melting away into the forest scenery. Lugia is right. You are a brat.

--Palkia Scene Change

"NO PLEASE! I WASN'T FLIRTING WITH HER! OWOWOW!"

Palkia collapsed on the sand, repeatedly bashed on the head by a heavy steel paw. Dialga's red eyes burned into his own. "Lying only makes it worse," she whispered melodically, a hint of painful death slipping into her words. The steel dragon removed her heavy paw from his head and retreated a few steps. Palkia rose shakily to his feet, his steps tottering and weak. "Nmaf...Wingull...there's so many...no!" he groaned, flopping down again in a state of delirium. Dialga chuckled. He was pretty stupid...but he belonged to only her. And no little Dragon would ruin that. Her eyes held no hostility despite the anger she felt at Dragonite as said Pokemon rushed into view, a Blissey AND a Miltank in tow. "Palkia! I found help! Hey are you listening--oh."

The dragon stopped, staring at Dialga, who stared back. She gulped, continuing forwards to reach Mew. The look Dialga was giving her unnerved the Dragon, who led the two she had found towards the unconscious pink cat. Blissey and Miltank got to work, tending to Mew while Dragonite looked at Palkia and Dialga carefully. "Should I go?" she asked quietly, treading the waters. Dialga nodded, trying to hold in the anger. "I'm sure they can take it from here...thank you for bringing them," she replied, resisting the urge to leap forwards and maul. Dragonite got the hint and slowly wandered back into the forest. The Temporal Pokemon sighed in relief, a smile gracing her face. "All mine."

BLAM!

"WHAT THE HELL!? GIRATINA I'M GOING TO EFFING KILL YOU!"

Dialga dug her teeth into said dragon's leg. Giratina howled, flapping his wings. "Dialga! Give me a break! I can't control where I land!!" he whined, pulling on his leg tenderly. Dialga let his leg go, snapping at him as he jumped off of her. "You fricken klutz," she spat, rolling onto her stomach and rising up. Her red eyes glared at him as she shook herself free of the sand that managed to sneak into her scales. Regigigas rose from the sand, brushing himself, though nothing marred his smooth body. Uxie giggled, swirling around. She had been the only one to not land on something or someone.

"Nice to see you too, Dialga," Uxie smiled, unpreturbed by the angry growls and mutters emitted by the steely dragon. Dialga sighed, turning away from them all to stalk forwards to the dazed Palkia, nudging him over. "Snap out of it, you nutjob. We have visitors." Palkia gazed through half-lidded eyes. "Yeah?"

Giratina laughed and received a blow on the head from Regigigas. "Give respect to your elders, kid." He burst into laughter as Palkia snorted. "ELDER? I AM NOT OLD." Everyone laughed at him now. Palkia groaned, staring at the chuckling Dialga. "Hey, if I'm old, it means you are too. We were created at the same time, you know." Dialga's laugh caught in her throat. "Oh shut up." Everyone laughed again until the faint sound of groaning reached them. All eyes snapped to the huddled Blissey and Miltank, who were backing away from Mew with weary smiles on their faces. Miltank wandered over to the assembled legendaries, smiling sweetly. "Well, she was a little roughed up from something, but just a little rest and she'll be good as new," she said, her voice tired but happy. Palkia sighed in relief, carefully picking his way towards Mew. One light blue eye smiled at him. "Thanks," she said softly, her energy wavering as she faded into sleep. Palkia's gazed softened as he stroked the small cat lightly.

He rose up and turned to the others. "Someone attacked Mew just before she found me...we gotta figure out who, and why," he stated, eyes and tone serious. Uxie had found her way over and was gazing at Mew's paw. "What's this?" she wondered, tugging on a strip of fabric. It was brown and rough. She held it up for the rest to see. Regigigas stared at it (apparently oo) and raised a hand to speak. "I've seen that fabric before. There is no way any regular Pokemon or human could find Mew, and the clothing that comes from is a cape. Only one of us has ever worn a cape," he stated. Dialga shuddered, knowing who he spoke of. It was all on their minds, but she spoke it aloud.

"Mewtwo."
