" Hey, you cold?" Marcus wrapped his blanket around Amour gently. " Thanks..." she replied emotionlessly.
" What's the matter?"
" Well, dad said that he talked his Pokémon into helping me out... but..." She started.
" But what?" Marcus asked curiously.
" I'm not sure I can handle that kind of power... Ash Greninja Bond Phenomenon is a big responsibility, Charizard is one heck of a powerful Pokémon... Lyncaroc is so rare.. Delphox is so graceful, and Sylveon... she's so sweet and kind. I kinda feel bad that they have to travel with me, a hopeless battler and horrible performer!!!" She screamed into a pillow, crying profusely.
" What're are you talking about?" Marcus stroked her back gently. " You defeated Lysandre in three moves, beat Marinette in 20 performance showcases, even mastered the art of contests the way I could never have done! You're talented, and you know it! Those Pokémon deserve you more than anyone in the universe!"
He kissed her cheek, then walked into the tent. " Join me when you want to!" he called back.
Amour lay on the ground, the blanket sliding of her shoulder as she stared at the stars. ' I have Marcus, all my parents' best Pokémon, even my best friends... all supporting me every step I take! I'm grateful... but I need to take my own steps...' she thought as she looked up at the glittering stars above. Suudenly, a star shined brighter than the rest. Her eyes tried to adjust to the brightness as she blocked her face from the light.
Suddenly, everything faded and she heard a small cry next to her. " Eeekkk!!!! J-Jirachi?! And Lunala?! AND Solgaleo?!" she backed away slowly. " What are you doing here?!"
Lunala approached her slowly. " The gift. It's in her. " It spoke to Jirachi and Solgaleo.
" What gift?" Amour walked forward to touch Lunala's muzzle and stroked it smoothly. Lunala let out a cry of appreciation. " The gift of wishes... for the moon and the sun of the Pokémon world."
" Um... what does that even mean?" Amour scratched her chin curiously. " It means that you can grant wishes for anyone, day or night. However, you must never be seen with this gift. In other words, you cannot use it in front of others." Solgaleo explained.
Jirachi floated forward. " Not even him." She said, pointing to Marcus. " And let me tell you, he has a gift too." Lunala butted in.
" Can you wait for me to finish?!" Jirachi shouted at her.
" Well SO-RRY!!!" Lunala said sarcastically.
" Silence!" Solgaleo whipped his tail between them.
Jirachi and Lunala folded their arms, grumbling," Meanie..."
" What gift does Marcus have?" Amour asked curiously. " The gift of life and love. To love, you must live. To live, you must love. And to die, you must have had both. Don't ever forget that." Solgaleo nuzzled her chin. " If not together, you two will feel a literal bond pulling you together. The bond of gifts." Jirachi flew in mischievously, yet said it wisely.
Lunala flapped her colossal wings.
" Don't worry, dear. You were born to be the greatest. The very best... that no one ever was." She looked up at the moon gravely. " However... Dark times are ahead. You must find a eay to put both your powers together, and find the third."
Riht after, the two legendary and one mythical Pokémon disappeared.
" Amour?C'mon... I saved you a spot in the tent." Marcus yawned. Amour smiled gratefully as she crawled into the tent slowly. But all she could think about were Lunala's final words... " Put both your powers together... Find the third."
" Who is the ' third' Lunala was talking about?" Amour wondered. Suddenly, an image of the legendary Pokémon Xerneas appeared in her mind when shd looked at Marcus. Shocked, she withdrew, accidentally smacking her face with her hands. She looked at them. She suddenly saw hints of green and black in a hexagonal pattern for a second before disappearing.
" Marcus is Xerneas. The third is Yveltal. And I'm... Zygarde." she thought.
