After spending a few days of uploading, I've decided to do two-a-days. So, enjoy some more every day!


-Chapter 9: Legends of Arceus, Part 1-

-Briar's POV-

Alright, so I finally decided to read the full legend of Arceus… I don't necessarily like that story, for reasons that I don't like to talk about… But, Treecko has been dying to read it, so I figured, 'eh, why not?'

He came sprinting, a big grin on his face, and I knew that Basileus had told him. I made a mental note not to tell him my surprise plans, and watched as he came up to me and asked, still smiling, if we really were reading the legends of Arceus.

I nodded, "It is written in footprint runes, so you'll need to read along," I said.

He acknowledged it with a quick thumbs up sign, and I laughed slightly. He can barely sit still… Huh.

So, I started from the top; Treecko always liked the beginning of the story, from what I could tell, and this was for him, after all. So, I cleared my throat, and began reading.

-Treecko's POV-

I was so excited to finally read my favorite story! I sprinted out of the training grounds, and ran straight to the library, where my mom was waiting.

She watched as I came in, and gestured for me to sit down. I asked in anticipation, "Are we really going to read the legends of Arceus?!"

She nodded, and said it was in footprint runes, so I would have to read along; I didn't mind. I could read in that language.

What I didn't know is that once we started reading, the scroll would start glowing, and play what we were reading, around us! It's like being a part of the story!

My mom started to read, and it flashed blue, and I felt like I was transported to another place entirely!

I was in absolute darkness, yet I saw a Pokemon flying through this mysterious place.

I heard my mom's voice narrating, "In the beginning, there was one pokemon that

existed before the universe was made. His name is Arceus. Before he birthed the universe into existence, he travelled alone through the void, accompanied only by his thoughts."

That… Sounds really boring…

She kept going, "After many millennia of wandering alone, with nothing to observe, he decided to create for himself an ideal place to exist. So, he created two deity dragons, Dialga and Palkia."

I saw the two dragons, both of them were huge; One was on two legs, cream and maroon in color, with wings and a giant pink pearl in each shoulder plate thing, and another was blue, on four legs, and seemed to be wearing steel armor.

I don't even know where they came from; All of the sudden, they were just there.

"Dialga was a great steel-clad dragon, with the essence of Time flowing through his veins. His sole purpose was to wrap Arceus' new universe in time. When Dialga's heart began beating, time began flowing, or so it is said. It is also said that Dialga's heart beats in correspondence with every second that passes."

In order to house the great power of Dialga, he created a tower constructed of Draconian Iron and stone that reflected the entire flow of time, called Temporal Tower.

It was Dialga's home, and Dialga's state of mind reflected the state of the tower.

Of course, not even Dialga could wrap the whole universe in the flow of time, because it was so vast, so Arceus made extensions of Dialga's power.

Drawing from the very power that Dialga contained, Arceus made many thousands of objects known as Time Gears. Each one was created to control time in its specific region. Some were the size of entire worlds, while some are able to fit in the palm of your hand.

Then, as if on cue, tons of little green and blue gears that glowed super bright began flying all over the place. When they stopped moving, they began turning, and glowed turquoise in color, lighting up the pitch black void.

"They all glow so brightly, the turquoise light washing over everything was so beautiful…"

She's saying it like she actually saw these things...

There needed to be an actual universe to wrap in time. So, Arceus made Palkia with the purpose of making a cosmic space for the universe to exist in.

Arceus sought to treat all pokemon fairly, so he made a home for Palkia; A fortress of solitude, called Spatial rift. It was a boundary between dimensions, where reality was very unstable. Palkia could distort the very fabric of reality, so he made Spatial Rift more stable with his power.

After making these two pokemon, he sought to make a place more for his creations.

Thus, he made the primal world, which was barren and plain, simply dirt and water. He saw the loneliness of his planet, how plain it was, and decided to make other pokemon to control the aspects of this world. He made Regigigas first, who in turn made three golems, crafted from ice, stone, and magma in his image.

After making the world in the shape that he wanted, Arceus made many more pokemon to control various aspects of the new world, such as Kyogre to tame the seas, Groudon to calm the land, and Rayquaza to protect the skies.

He made the atmosphere of this world suitable for life, and created all of the pokemon known.

Naturally, he sought to make something more than just Pokemon, so he decided to create the first humans.


Alright, same stuff again. Feel free to review and critique. (Yes, even the grammar Nazis.) I don't mind. JK I love you all.
