Warning, short chapter.
Pokémon isn't mine, otherwise... I really don't know.
Anyway...
"Ugh…"
I woke up, and I had absolutely no clue where I was.
I was sitting on a chair, and my head was on the counter. There were a couple of ovens, blenders, and a few menus drawn on chalkboards.
…
Wait, I knew where I was, this was Zane's Mini Cafe!
"It's so dark out." I said and got out of my seat and stretched. "If the store was closing, why didn't anyone wake me?"
Seriously…
That thought aside, I walked to the exit and opened it, a bit surprised that it was unlocked.
"Well, it doesn't look like anyone is up right now." I said and walked outside. "I guess that the store won't be robbed."
Well, it is a cafe, why exactly would anyone rob it?
Anyway, it looked like it was midnight, so I guess that I'd better make my way back to Terrakion's house.
Now that I thought of it though, I don't remember falling asleep, and the last thing I remembered was…
…
Something important happened, but I can't seem to remember.
"What was it?" I asked as I walked.
That thought was quickly interrupted when the world around me was set ablaze, and I saw the outline of someone familiar.
Was that…
The figure walked closer to me, and with each step, I felt myself freeze. His yellow eyes stared into mine, and with a grin, he extended his hand for me to take.
"Come willingly, and your troubles will be no more." He said.
He had found me, there was no way.
Tocaro...
Before I was able to do anything, a dark void appeared in front of me, and someone had rushed out of it and rammed into him, causing the dark-type to fall to the ground.
Wait, this was-!
Before I knew it, the world was surrounded in darkness, and the figure was surrounded in a glowing light.
"Hark of the angel's summon," He said, many halos of light appearing in the sky. "The true path shall guide you, find peace in annihilation."
These halos then rained several lightning bolts, striking the Zoroark.
Wait, was he using a Great Magic spell?
Orbs of light surrounded Tocaro, and he was then lifted into the air and flew into the Halos.
"Phantom Destruction!"
Those words said, the halos exploded and a purple-black haze enveloped the dark-type.
Tocaro was no more.
"Woah…" Was all I could say.
Was Tocaro really… dead?
"He's not dead you moron." The shadowy figure stated. "You're dreaming."
After saying that, the figure's shadowy cloak dissipated, revealing a very odd-looking dragon.
Well, it was a little weird (and disappointing) that this was just a dream, but I guess this guy did save me from simulating what would happen if Tocaro got his hands on me.
But then again he also tried to kill me before.
"Who are you?" I asked the pale dragon.
"Arceus didn't tell you?" He replied, his arms crossed. "I'm his son, Giratina."
Huh?
From my knowledge, Arceus only has two sons; Dialga and Palkia.
"At least I was." He continued. "Before he banished me to the Distortion World."
The Distortion World…
Now that I think of it, I do remember reading about a god that was banished to the Distortion World by Arceus, but I would have never guessed that it would be another son of his.
"And do you know why?" Giratina asked. "Because I created the magic you know today, and used it to punish sinners like yourself."
By magic, I'm guessing that he means my Fire Lance/Calamity Blast spell.
Though I really didn't like being referred to a sinner.
"You're calling me a sinner," I replied. "From my knowledge, it wasn't your job to punish sinners, so you had no right to kill all of those people. No wonder you got banished."
"I was just trying to impress my dad!" He shouted, catching me off-guard. "I really don't see why he sees you as more if his son than me!"
Oh, so he's jealous.
"I created those spell so it would make his life easier." Giratina stated. "Why is he against eliminating all sinners at once? With that magic, he easily could have wiped out everyone in that rotten world."
I growled when he said that.
"Arceus can do that without your magic." I replied. "And the reason he doesn't is because there isn't just sinners in the world, and any sinner has a chance to seek redemption!"
Michael being the first guy to come to mind.
"And the reason why Arceus sees me as more of a son than you, is the same reason why you are so set on killing me."
"Because you're a soulless freak." The dragon said.
I rolled my eyes at that.
Soulless Freak was a rude way of putting it, but he was kinda right.
"It's because I'm not a naturally-born pokemon." I said. "Arceus is interested in me because I wasn't his creation like everyone else."
Not only that, but I don't go slaughtering millions of people just because they aren't perfect.
Okay, I should probably wake myself up right now. I really didn't have tie for tis guy, and I still needed to remember that important thing happened before I fell asleep.
"I'm gonna wake up now." I stated.
"Wait, I want to play a game with you." Giratina stated. "If you're up for it that is."
A game?
I really didn't trust this guy, but somehow I felt some motives behind this "game" he wanted to play.
"Alright." I said. "What is this game that you want to play?"
"It's a bit of a special game, and I wouldn't call it a game, more like a delayed reunion to twist the fate of one who has died by the hands of my magic."
Pardon?
I gave him a confused look, and he smiled.
"I want to give someone a second chance, but you won't know who it is because your memory of them would be erased as well as their memory of themselves." He continued, but then chuckled. "But then again, you really don't have a choice, seeing how your memory of them is already gone."
I was a little lost.
"My dad wanted me to revive someone special to you, but I wanted to make it more interesting." The dragon continued again. "Well, I guess you can say that you'll get to meet them for the first time, a second time."
Okay, I really had no clue what this guy was going on about.
I was going to ask for him to clarify, but he placed his finger over my lips before I was able to.
"I will bother you no more, for I am going to travel the dimensions." He stated, then kissed my forehead. "I have spent too long trying to gain forgiveness from my father, so I will find a suitable dimension for myself, and that dimension will the one where you and I will be together."
I really didn't know why, but I felt a little sad that he was leaving.
What a weird guy though...
"Farewell little Zangoose."
xXOOOOOXx
"Ugh, my head..."
When I woke up, I immediately felt pain shoot to my head. When I placed my hands on my head, I felt cloth, and assumed that there was some wrapped bandages on there.
It felt like I got smacked in the head by a hammer.
I then took a look at my surroundings, and easily recognized where I was,
Leaf's old room...
"What am I doing here?" I asked myself and got out of the bed I was sleeping on. "And why does my head hurt so much?"
Walking was still a bit of a chore, so I stumbled a little as I made my way to the door.
I really don't remember coming here. The last thing I remember was Michael finding out that it's me.
I then let out a groan.
"He must be pissed." I said with a sigh. "Well, I guess I'd better make things right."
That thought aside though, things will have to wait since it was dark out, and snowing really hard.
Better go downstairs.
I opened the door and slowly made my way down the stairs, just to be met with Zane, Kicks, and Michael sitting together and talking at the table.
Never mind, it looks like Mike is here.
I took a deep breath.
"Mike?"
All three heads turned to face me.
"I'm sorry I lied to you."
The sudden embrace from him almost shocked me. It was something I missed, something I longed for the longest time.
I hugged him back, and tears didn't hesitate to leave my eyes.
"I'm just glad that you're here." He whispered into my ear. "I missed you so much."
I really didn't know what to say, I was at a loss of words right now.
But then again, I really didn't care.
"Mike," I said with a chuckle, tears still leaving my eyes. "Why does my head hurt so much?"
Michael also chuckled, and I looked up and saw tears in his eyes as well.
"The sign you were sitting under fell down and knocked you unconscious." He answered. "I love you Aladar!"
"I love you too Michael!"
Right after those words, we both sobbed uncontrollably, and for some reason, both Kicks and Zane held each other and did the same.
Well, it looks like I'm finally back.
I really don't know what to say right now, but I hope you enjoyed.
