So, umm…. Let me see…. Nope! Don't own Pokemon!
Chapter 9
Ancient Beast
Uxie began, "Young ones, I must thank you for coming here. It has been ages since I last had a visitor, mostly because of the rough seas around my island. But you made it, and on one of the few days that the seas are actually calm. Now then, you've come seeking information about Dark Mew, correct?"
"Yes, Uxie. We have. It's living in our hometown," Cyndaquil responded.
"Yes. Well, there's something you should know about it above everything else."
"And what would that be?"
"You can't defeat it."
"What?"
"You can't defeat it, Cyndaquil. It's not possible."
Cyndaquil started to say, "Are you-" but Chikorita cut him off.
"Wait a minute… Uxie would never say that. Who are you?"
"Hmph! So you figured me out, have you?" "Uxie" asked "Then I guess I don't need this disguise anymore!" "Uxie" threw off a disguise, and revealed itself to be Dark Mew!
"Dark Mew! Where's Uxie?!"
"I suggest you look up…" Both of them looked up to see Uxie bound in a silvery purple rope, being stared at by what looked like a giant stone Entei with a purple ball on it's head.
"CYNDAQUIL! CHIKORITA! GET OUT OF HERE!"
"NO! We won't leave you like this! We'll save you!"
"Good luck, worms. You'll need it…"
Cyndaquil and Chikorita looked around for a way up the tree that they were currently inside of. They checked vines, piles of leaves, and behind shrubs. But there was no way up. The only place they hadn't looked yet was underwater. After changing into Aqua-Cyndaquil, he dove underwater, and came back to tell Chikorita that there was a cave under the lake. They both entered, and began climbing upwards. They fought stone Caterpies, Weedles, and Wurmples, which were a lot stronger than they sound.
Every so often they heard Uxie say "Please hurry!" By the sound of how it seemed less calm each time, the Entei was getting closer. By the time they reached the top, the Entei was practically able to snap Uxie's head off. And it probably would have, too, if Cyndaquil hadn't shot a blast of water at it. It was easy to see it was angry now. Cyndaquil and Chikorita continued attacking it, until it fell off of the branch they were on. Unfortunately, it shot a blast of fire at the branch, which, for even a reason not even Uxie knows, broke the branch instead of burning it. Cyndaquil grabbed onto the rope binding Uxie, and started untying it, which is hard when you're dangling in mid-air. He managed, however, but began to fall, along with Chikorita. Uxie used it's powers to help them land safely on the ground.
"Cyndaquil! Chikorita! Are you both okay?"
"We should be asking you that question, Uxie! But we're fine, yes."
"I'm fine as well. But perhaps we should finish fighting this creature."
"Right!" They continued with the fight, and with Uxie helping, it seemed that much easier. The creature was incredibly tough, but they managed to defeat it. The stone Entei broke into a bunch of tiny pieces, and a shadowy figure that looked strangely like a Darkrai appeared, the stone bits surrounding it, and then, just as quickly, it disappeared, dropping the stone bits. And what was creepy was that they landed in a formation of a message. It read "Darkrai watches all…"
"Thank you for your help, young ones. I don't know what I would have done without you."
"No problem, Uxie! But what exactly was that thing, anyway?"
"That was the guardian of the island. It was left to protect the Sacred Pendants from falling into the wrong hands. However, Dark Mew showed up, and managed to take control of it. Luckily, you two showed up before he could get his hands on the pendants."
"Sacred Pendants?"
"Yes. They were left here for the hero and his partner, to teach them the ability to use psychic powers. I know for a fact that you , Cyndaquil, are the hero, and Chikorita is your partner. I believe they are rightfully yours. Come with me." Uxie began glowing with a yellowish aura, and Cyndaquil, Chikorita, and Uxie soon found themselves in a chamber with yellow and purple stones and plants everywhere. But most noticeable were the pendants in bubbles at the other side of the room.
"Are those…"
"Yes, they are the Sacred Pendants. They are yours now. Use them wisely." The bubbles burst, and the pendants hovered over to Cyndaquil and Chikorita.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome. Now, about your enemy. Dark Mew was half-right. You can't defeat him. Without mastering all of the elements. Across our fair Stellar Region, there are 34 pendants. There were supposed to be 2 for each of the 17 pokemon types, but 2 lost their charges. You have both of them, but their charges have been restored. You must fined the other 30 pendants if you want to have any hope of defeating Dark Mew. I highly suggest you head to the Mountain of Time and speak with Dialga. Goodbye, young heroes. I will see you again sometime."
"Goodbye, Uxie. We'll see you!" Cyndaquil and Chikorita were then warped out of the chamber, and began walking back to where Surge was waiting for them.
To be continued…
Fun fact: I wasn't initially going to make Dark Mew be the Uxie that Cyndaquil and Chikorita met last chapter, but then I had the idea of the stones forming Darkrai watches all... after being droppend, and then the idea of Dark Mew disguising it's self as Uxie.
