Hello, one and all! I just remembered the idea I was going to write last week but got sidetracked and forgot about it! I know it's kind of short, but I've been thinking about this since the first time I played Pokémon Y. It just seemed perfect as a base concept, and I know I haven't built on it much this time around. I don't have much else to say except enjoy!
Chapter 11: The Celestial Prophet
When the rest of her team saw Erza wield Mega Evolution, they were utterly shocked. Natsu demanded whilst spewing fire, "How could you keep this from us?!"
"It wasn't a secret!" Erza snapped, not having been so annoyed with him since he showed up to her court case dressed as her. "You just don't have an eye for detail! Geez… I thought at least Lucy would have noticed my Mega Earring. Seriously, have an eye for detail!"
"Aye!" Happy agreed simply for the play on words. "Do you want to go see a movie, Carla?"
"Let's report back to officially finish the job before we do anything else," Carla sighed, glancing at the cathedral that Erza fought on. "That poor church is going to need a new roof."
"Aww! That means we have to pay for it out of our reward!" Lucy griped.
"I think this just proves that my Mawile has spirit!" Erza declared proudly. "I feel like a small rabbit ready to change the world with a partner like that at my side!"
"Um…what are you talking about?" Gray asked, lost at this point.
"So…what are your other two Pokémon?" Wendy asked.
"I suppose I will have to introduce you!" Erza decided and threw two Poké Balls up in the air. They burst open and a pink body built like a cake and a bug-like body that seemed to be equipped with armor sprang from the capsules. "Meet Slurpuff and Escavalier."
"Figures you'd have a cake and an armored beetle follow you around," Gray muttered.
"That's Erza for you!" Happy chimed in. He really, really, really wanted to give that Slurpuff a lick. He glanced at Carla, and then he glanced again in shock! It was visible that she was resisting the urge to taste the sweet-looking Pokémon, too.
"That was very well done, Fairy Tail," the voice of a woman called out to them. They all looked over and saw a dark skinned woman wearing a silver band around her head, just below her purple hairline, a dark blue unitard, and a cape that was twinkling like stars. She seemed to have a cosmic radiance about her. With her were a male and female Meowstic.
"Whoa! Happy and Carla have Earthland doubles!" Natsu gasped and pointed.
"I can see how you'd think that, but that's not it," Wendy awkwardly pointed out to him.
"But that white one has the same sour look on her face that Carla does!" Natsu argued. "Look at it!"
"I beg your pardon?!" Carla took offense to Natsu's commentary, but it was Happy who hit him in the face with a fish.
"I think you handled that situation very well—keeping the property damage in mind, of course," the woman commended the wizards for their efforts.
"First of all, some of this was like that when we got here. Second, who are you?" Gray wanted answers.
"Wait! I know you! You're… You're Olympia! You're a Gym Leader from a country called Kalos!" Lucy realized and started to have a bit of a fan girl moment. "She's amazing! She has psychic powers and can see into the future! On top of that, she's a Celestial wizard with some of the rarest silver keys around!"
"Someone does her research. I like that," Olympia smiles. "I know about you, too, Lucy Heartfilia. Celestial Spirits love you. They adore you as they have adored members of your family for generations."
"You can see into the future? You're just like Carla!" Wendy announced. She picked up the white Exceed to show Olympia. "Carla and Queen Shagotte can see the future, too! And maybe Carla's half brother, Myo!"
"Seeing the future? No offense, but I think the present's just fine," Natsu openly gave his opinion.
Olympia was about to say something out of respect for his opinion when she got a good look at his face. She started to have a whole montage of visions revolving around Natsu. Her eyes widened. All of it stuck out in her mind. In seconds, she picked and chose visions that she felt would be safe to divulge to him. She approached him, but stopped into her third step and had more visions about the rest of the team.
"Hey, is something the matter?" Gray spoke up and asked. Everyone was concerned by the look on the Psychic-type Trainer's face.
"I see…you all…going to battle. An ancient weapon will rise and attempt to destroy us all in the light of someone's greed and darkness. You… Salamander… you and a Pokémon Ranger will do battle with the one responsible for the weapon's revival," Olympia divulged what she saw. "And—though some parts were vague—there is a chance some of you and/or your guild mates won't make it."
"What…?" Natsu could barely speak.
"Who? Who won't make it?!" Erza demanded. "I will protect as many of my comrades as I can, but I need to know who needs my protection the most!"
"I don't know… I'm sorry. It was unusually unclear. But I will tell you this. I haven't foreseen possibility so terrifying since I foresaw green fire engulf Kalos," Olympia responded, disappointed by the lack of information they needed. "If this happens before I go back to Kalos, you have my word that I will help you all as much as I can in the fight."
"Well…I can't say I'm all that surprised. This sort of thing happens often," Gray spoke up. "We'll just have to work hard so we can be prepared for what comes."
"I'm sorry. I feel I've opened a can of worms," Olympia apologized solemnly.
"No, this was good. If it's bound to happen, it would be better for us not to be blindsided by it. Thanks so much, Olympia!" Lucy thanked her fellow Celestial wizard, shaking her hands profusely. "Now…what keys do you happen to have?"
"Cetus the Whale, Lepus the Rabbit, and Aquila the Eagle to name a few," Olympia answered, which earned a joyful squeal from Lucy.
