DWA: I hope you all enjoyed the early update. If all goes right, this will be up on the scheduled time. So this chapter will be . . . different from most. You'll see. By the way, I have given the *spoilers* legendaries genders. The reason will be obvious soon enough. Somethings here are dedicated to MewLover54.
Darkrai: Oh yeah. This is gonna be a really fun. . . why me?
DWA: Cause you are my favorite Pokémon, hands down.
Darkrai: Oh I'm flattered. *uncaring tone*
DWA: Also to "randomprson" I thank you for both reviews, and am glad you think the story is awesome. You now receive a digital cookie, enjoy.
To Guest guess who: DAVID GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE! If you're gonna review, sign in to do so. If you are not David . . . then this got awkward real fast. . .
DWA: I don't own Pokemon, only my OC's. Another thing, I will not be describing the legendary Pokemon, it would take me forever and Pokemon fans should know what their deities/Gods look like.
Chapter 13: The Legends. Time: 3:12pm
"I'm sorry WHAT!?" I shouted.
[What's wrong?] Darkrai asked.
"Oh I don't know, maybe that you took us to the HALL OF FUCKING ORIGINS!?"
[I thought it was time to meet your . . . boss.]
"My wha-" Then it made sense. Hall of Origins is Arceus' home. Arceus is my so called boss.
"You know what, whatever. At least I get to meet the head jackass or bitch."
[Actually, since Arceus is God, she can be one or the other at anytime.] Darkrai said grasping the handles of the doors.
"What?" Cassidy and I asked.
[I'm not going into details. Right now, Arceus is a female. So without further delay.] He opened the doors and we saw . . . all the legendaries from each region. Wait, no, Unova's aren't here. They all turned to us, and I saw Zapdos get angry . . . I think.
[Darkrai! What do you think you're doing bring in humans here?!] The male Zapdos shouted.
[What? No "hello" or "Nice to see you?" Damned bird.]
[Regardless, They have to be punished for being here. And for us that means death!] Zapdos said charging electricity.
'Oh fuck me twice.'
-Get out of this alive and I'll do just that.- I heard Cassidy tell me over telepathy.
'I see Zapdos hasn't changed much.' Ravaza commented.
'Not helping guys.' Zapdos fired a Zap Cannon at me, which I stopped with my powers.
"That's it? A Zap Cannon? That's . . . really funny actually." I said as I dissipated the electricity. Only for Suicune to start chasing me.
"I thought you were a docile and gentle Pokémon!" I shouted as I ran from the water dog. After running in circles for a straight minute, I'd had enough, and roundhouse kicked the bitch into a pillar.
"Arceus dammit fuck off already!" Suicune was visibly pissed.
"ENOUGH!" A booming but feminine voice shouted. All eyes turned to the Alpha Pokémon.
"There must be a reason for Darkrai to bring a human here. Let him speak." Darkrai cleared his throat.
[The reason is simple, fellow legends. This boy is the Arceus Assassin.] The room filled with an uproar of disagreement while Arceus stared at me.
"Her staring is creeping me out." Cassidy whispered.
"You're not the one being stared at." I whispered back. After a few good minutes, Arceus nodded.
"SILENCE! I can confirm that this boy is indeed my Assassin." Arceus said while the whole room shut up.
"Woah whoah woah. Your Assassin? I don't remember agreeing to anything. You may be the Alpha, but I still have all the free will to refuse." I said. No one seemed phased by my understanding of her.
"That is what Azelf is for. Azelf, please put him under my command." The small pixie nodded and started glowing blue, as did I. The glow persisted, but the only noticeable thing was how Azelf was struggling.
[I . . . can't . . . take his . . . will.] Azelf said breaking the hold.
'Before you ask, no I am not the reason. That's all you kid. You and your upbringing.'
I started laughing.
"Wow, you actually tried to take my will. Nice one but I have a feeling that my background and this Amulet keep me safe." All the legends were staring at me in disbelief, except one.
"Hey I just realized. Where's Mew?" As I said this I was tackled to the ground by a pink blur.
[MIKE!] It was Mew. [How did you get here? Are you hurt? Why is everyone staring at you?] She asked as I put my hand over her mouth.
"Mew I'm fine, they tried to take my will but," I said getting up. "A man without will, can't be an effective assassin."
"We would not have taken your full will, we-" Arceus started.
"Listen bitch, just don't take my will, and I'll work part time. I still have my journey ahead of me and I ain't cutting it short for you." I said. All the legends gasped and Arceus wore a look of pure rage, for about ten seconds until she started laughing.
"I've been waiting for someone to speak with me in a casual form for quite sometime now. Thank you but never call me a bitch again." I nodded.
"Only if you deserve it. Also, no hard feelings on the will stealing stuff. My team, however, would have . . . not been very accommodating had you taken my will." Arceus chuckled and nodded.
[Alright everyone, go do whatever.] Many flew off and or teleported out. Some stayed.
[You were very lucky Mike, she could have killed you.] I turned to Darkrai and shrugged.
"She could, but won't. So, how about a tour." I asked and he nodded.
[Follow me.] And follow we did. We soon came upon a long hallway.
"These are the sleeping quarters. For meetings that last for days, we sleep here. In fact-] Darkrai opened the door to an odd sight. Azelf and Jirachi making out passionately on the bed.
"Uhhh. Is that normal?" I asked, and looked at Cassidy who was blushing.
[For those two, yes. Those two have been in a relationship for a long time. About one hundred years, not that long for us but you get the point.] Darkrai said closing the door.
"They didn't even notice us." Cassidy said and Darkrai chuckled.
[Yeah those two are like that. Here's Mesprit's room, she's normally in so let's say hi.] He opened the door.
[Hey Mesprit, wha-] He was cut off by a shrill "eeeepp", mostly because we walked in on her and Celebi making out.
[Mes, your . . .] Darkrai said, while Celebi looked very flustered and embarrassed. However, I was oblivious.
"What's wrong with this?" I asked.
[Celebi is a girl too.] Darkrai said. Now it made sense.
[And I swear if you tell anyone, I'll personally kill you!] Mesprit shouted. I held my hands up.
"My lips are sealed, not like you could kill me anyways. But still I promise." She nodded while glaring.
[I have a question, how do you know Mew?] Celebi asked, a blush on her face, from embarrassment of course.
"Oh I found her being chased by poachers and fought them off, then I nursed her back to health." I said cheerfully.
[Thank you for that, we are all grateful.] Celebi said. I nodded and smiled.
[I think we should continue the tour.] Darkrai said and waved good bye. Celebi waved and Mesprit pounced her.
[That was interesting.] Darkrai said closing the door.
Cassidy and I nodded, as three beings passed us by, the Regi's
[Don't mind the Regi's, they're basically robots with feelings but keep to themselves. Just don't annoy them.] Darkrai said moving down the corridor. Then Uxie came out of a room.
[Welcome to the Hall of Origins, Assassin.] Uxie said with a bow.
"Please call me Mike." Uxie nodded.
[I'd love to stay and chat but Mew would like to talk, or in other words, play. Until we meet again Mike.] Uxie floated off.
"Is he usually like that?" Cassidy asked.
[Sometimes. He has been spending more time with Mew however, it makes me wonder if anything is going on between the two.] Darkrai said, continuing on through the corridor. Eventually, we saw a room that looked as though it was for kids, and a Rotom and Phione were playing together.
[Rotom and Phione are actually the youngest on the Council, and no, Phione did not come from out Manaphy. We simply found the egg abandoned.] Darkrai said with sadness.
[Move it, Darkrai.] I heard and was pushed to the ground along with Darkrai by Cresselia.
"For a Pokémon who causes good dreams, your manners aren't very good." I said getting up. I saw Shaymin and Manaphy jump off Cresselia's back.
[Hello young ones.] Shaymin said in a happy, cheerful, and feminine voice.
[Havin' fun?] Manaphy said in a slightly deeper voice.
[Yep!] Phione exclaimed, going down a slide, Rotom following right after and landing on top of Phione. The two kids shared a delighted laugh.
"Aww, how sweet." Cassidy said. I looked over to Darkrai and saw Cresselia glaring at him.
[Why are you here Darkrai? You haven't been to a meeting in three years, and now you show up with the Arceus Assassin? What do you want?] Darkrai shrugged.
[Nothing. I just had no reason to come before today, simple as that. It just so happens that today, I did, so here I am.] Darkrai said. Cresselia was still glaring at him, but I knew better. I felt sadness and longing form the lunar swan.
[Whatever, I'm leaving.] She said and took off, rather quickly. Darkrai sighed.
[She always thinks I'm up to something.] He said looking down.
[Don't think of it Darkrai, it'll be fine.] Shaymin said. Darkrai nodded.
[Come on, there are still others for you to meet.] Darkrai said floating off, Cassidy and I in tow.
We came to a balcony that overlooked a large garden on the large building. There was a Latias and Latios looking out. I heard a telepathic conversation.
-He probably has someone Latias, it's been over ten years. If you want him so badly, go to Kanto, you know where he lives.- Latios said.
-But what if you're right?- Latias said. Darkrai was about to announce our arrival but I silenced him, this was interesting.
-Then you move on. You'd outlive the boy anyways. Being on the Council ensures you don't age. You should know that better than me. I've only been here seven years.-
-Still.- I decided it was time to get noticed.
"Who're ya taking about?" I said and they turned to me surprised.
[What do you mean?] The Latios said, acting oblivious.
"The boy Latias apparently likes. There are humans with psychic abilities you know. And I'm one of them."
Darkrai sighed. [This is about Ash again, if you like the boy, go to Kanto and tell him.] Latias glared.
[If it's that easy tell Cresselia you still love her!] Latias exclaimed and Darkrai looked hurt.
[You know I can't, not after what I did.] Darkrai said holding his left arm.
"I'm confused now, what happened?" I asked.
[Later.] Darkrai replied.
[Well it was a pleasure Assassin, but I must be off. Goodbye.] Latios said before jetting off.
"Where's he off to?" I asked.
[Checking on the Unova Legends, for some reason they don't come here.] Latias said.
"Well Unova is quite the distance away." Cassidy said.
[True.] We started to leave, but I turned to Latias and said,
"If I see Ash in Kanto, I'll tell him that you wanna see him, alright?" Latias hesitated before nodding with a blush.
[That was a nice thing you did.] Darkrai said.
"Thanks." And with that, the tour continued.
-(ooo)- Time 5:23pm Location, ES HQ. 3rd person POV
David and Emily were walking down the corridors of the base when Alex came around a corner.
"Ahh, David. How was the funeral?"
"Fine." David said and kept walking. Alex sighed.
"Poor kid. He's only twenty and has to deal with all this. Oh well, I have a job to do, and that is to get you with us dears." He said looking at five pictures. The pictures were significant, a person from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova. The pictures were, respective to each region, Misty of Cerulean City, Whitney from Goldenrod City, May Maple, Hoenn's Top Coordinator and a great battler, from Petalburg City, Candice from Snowpoint City, and Iris, the Unova Champion.
"Each of these people have fought against teams before, but none like us. If I can't befriend them," He looked to his dagger. "I'll force them." He then walked out of the HQ, and hopped on to his stealth Hovercycle, (Look up Hovercycle from Saints Row the Third, but all black and no gun as well as a way to cover the light from the engine) and flew off to Snowpoint.
'If Candice won't willingly join, her precious school will keep her in line.' Alex thought as he looked to the small but powerful bomb he had made. He based it off of the Galactic bomb, a huge amount of power packed into a small container. There was enough power to destroy the school and all houses a few blocks in each direction. No one but himself knew he was an expert with explosives.
Alex mentally smirked to himself as the forest passed by underneath his Cycle, drawing closer to Snowpoint.
-(ooo)- Time 5:30pm Hall of Origins, Mike's 1st person POV
By now we had met all the larger Legends, most of which changed their size to talk to me, much to my surprise. They were also very friendly, except Rayquaza, he just grunted and flew off. Darkrai said he's a loner and to not be bothered by his behavior.
We soon came upon Mewtwo, the clone of Mew, and the space virus Deoxys. They were speaking with projected telepathy.
-Why do you bring such trivial things to my attention Deoxys? I for one, do not care who Mew "dates". Just as well, Uxie is a friend of mine due to his intellect.-
-What if she started dating . . . I don't know, Darkrai!? No offense to the guy but it wouldn't seem right, seeing as he's a living, err, floating, nightmare.- Deoxys said, a feminine quality in the voice.
[Wow Deoxys. Right. Fucking. Here.] Darkrai said, a little miffed. Deoxys stiffened and turned to face Darkrai.
-Oh Arceus, Darkrai I'm sorry I . . .damn.- Mewtwo scoffed.
-Regardless, I'm sure Mew wouldn't go for Darkrai. She may be stupid, but she does have certain tastes.-
[And you know this how?] Darkrai asked.
-You can learn a lot from her multiple visits during the week. And from what I have gathered, Uxie is perfect for her.- Mewtwo leaned against the wall, and a bucket of water fell on him.
"Uhhh, what the hell?" I asked, confused.
-I'm going to be honest, THAT is why I'd rather Mew not date Uxie. She is a prankster and the thought of her having the Being of Knowledge help her makes me shudder in fear.- Deoxys said, hugging herself as if to keep warm. By now Mewtwo had "removed" the bucket from his head, and existence.
-When I see that damned girl again, I'll send her to the Distortion World and back!- Mewtwo shouted.
-Easy Mewtwo, you mustn't let your anger get the best of you. Remember that small town in Hoenn?-
-Caracot Village, right. I think I'll leave now. The offer always stands to come to my home in Cerulean if you ever get bored, Deoxys.- And with that, Mewtwo teleported away. I looked to Darkrai,
"Do I really want to know?"
[About Caracot? No, you don't.] He said simply as Deoxys flew off. As we walked down the hall, I got curious bout Arceus' quick judgment to take my will.
"Would Arceus really take my will?" Darkrai chuckled.
[No, it was a test that only Arceus, Azelf and myself know about. If she can't take your will, then you're the Assassin.]
"Why do you know?" Cassidy asked.
[About 500 years ago Azelf had a crush on me for some reason. Probably because I saved her from a couple humans. She told me a lot about certain aspects of Arceus' actions.] The two of us nodded and we walked into the kitchen, to see Entei cooking.
"So Entei's the chef?" Entei looked over at us.
[Greetings Mike, yes, I'm the cook around here. Mostly a hobby but it's better then the others trying.] He said shifting into a human body that had red hair and eyes, brown pants and T-shirt, and black bracelets.
"That. Is awesome." I said and Entei chuckled.
"It helps with cooking and moving around without being noticed. Most likely everyone sees a legendary without noticing by the time they die." He said pulling out a tray of cookies. He whistled and Articuno flew by using Icy Wind and cooled the cookies off.
"Thanks Artie!" He said and ducked as an Ice Beam shot past him. "Hehe, a little joke that we have. Have a Lava Cookie" He said and my eyes widened.
"Lava Cookies?! I love those things! I haven't had one in ages!" I said grabbing two and gave one to Cassidy. We happily ate the cookies.
"As good as I remember." I said, Cassidy nodding with a smile. Entei rubbed the back of his neck, after putting down the tray.
"I try. I think Azelf's in the game room, if you hurry, you may be able to talk to her before she and Jirachi start making out. Again." Entei turned and started getting out ingredients for something else.
The three of us looked at each other, I picked up Cassidy, and we sped off, Darkrai in the lead. By the time we got to the alleged game room we saw Azelf talking to Uxie and a sleeping Mew on a chair. I put Cassidy down and walked over to the couch the two pixies were sitting on.
"Sup?" Azelf leaned her head back and Uxie turned.
[Oh uh, hey Assassin. Listen, sorry about-]
[It's fine Azelf, I explained everything to him.] Darkrai said.
[Oh, cool thanks Darky-err Darkrai. Sorry.] She said and Darkrai just looked down.
[Nice one Azelf.] Uxie said and he got slapped upside the head by Azelf's tail.
[Shut up!]
I looked up and saw a PS3 and Xbox 360, surround sound speakers, and a huge plasma TV.
"How the hell did you guys get this stuff?" I said looking through the games.
[Oh, we all do work, at times. It keeps us occupied when we're bored. Raikou, Zapdos, and even Rotom helped set this up and it gets power from a solar generator.] Azelf said, floating over.
[Wanna play somethin'?] She asked.
"Nah, some other time maybe. So where's Jirachi?"
[Right here!] I heard a very childish voice say above me. I looked up and saw the wish granting Pokémon floating above me.
"You sound extremely young Jiri." I said, making up a nickname on the spot.
[Jiri?] He asked.
"Just something I came up with. So, why do ya sound so young?"
[Until five years ago, I slept for a thousand years, physically, in a cocoon Because of this my body wouldn't age. However, I could mentally project myself and pursue normal thing like relationships, and such.] He said looking over to Azelf, who blushed.
[About five years ago, a friend of mine named Max came to me with a special song that woke me up for a day. He had one wish, that I didn't have to hibernate, for me to do so for three months and grant one wish every five years.]
"Max . . . Maple?" I asked.
[YES! How did you know?]
"I guessed. I hope he's alright, what with Engulfing Shadows out there."
[Who? They better not be like Team Galactic!] Azelf said.
"Nah, they're worse. More like Team Rocket, but deadlier. They don't seem to use Pokémon much, if at all, but they do use guns. My last fight with them was rather . . . eventful." I said.
[How so?] Uxie inquired.
'Oh damn it all.'
"I found out a childhood friend is leading the organization, that's all." Uxie kept his "gaze" on me until I felt something trying to intrude on my mind. I shoved it out rather forcefully, Ravaza lending some dark energy.
[AHH!] Uxie exclaimed holding his head from the failed attempt.
"Listen, I try to keep my private matters private. Stay outta my head Uxie." I said with a glare.
[My-My apologies.] Uxie said wincing. I stepped to the side and a bolt of psychic power flew past.
[Stay still so I can kick your ass for hurting Uxie!] Azelf shouted, I heard Darkrai sigh behind me.
[He was only protecting his mind. No need for violence.] Darkrai said . . . a Dark Void ready in his hands.
"I though you said "no need for violence"?" Cassidy questioned.
[Technically, it wouldn't be violence. I'd just put her to sleep. Or Jirachi could help.] Jirachi instantly shot at Azelf, catching her in a deep kiss. I felt all anger vanish from her mind.
"Well that works. Uxie, sorry about hurting ya, can you bring Mew to her room." Uxie, who looks to have recovered, nodded in agreement. He picked Mew up bridal style, and left the room, with Jirachi still kissing Azelf.
We started to walk back to the main room.
"So any loose ends before you get to travel?" I asked.
[Yes, I have to get clearance from Arceus. After that, I'll be set to travel.] Soon enough we came to the main room.
"Sup Arceus?" I greeted.
"Enjoy the tour?" Arceus asked.
"Yes but, is it always like this?" Arceus sighed.
"Yes, yes it is."
[Arceus, I have a request.] Darkrai started.
"What is it?" Arceus asked, looking rather intrigued.
[Mike saved my life a few weeks back. I want to make it up to him by traveling with him.]
[WHAT!?] I cringed at the shrill scream. I then saw Cresselia fly over and stop in front of Darkrai.
[I for one, do not care if a human is up here but you traveling with one?! No. Way. I won't let it happen!] Darkrai looked confused, then a bit angry.
[Why won't you? Answer me that. While you're at it, answer me why you always think I'm up to something! You go around doing whatever you want while I am stuck under suspicion from an event from 1,000 years ago! I lost my cool, I admitted to it, and for that people suffered, as well as you and the others! Many think I'm the reason the Unovians don't show up anymore! I hear them whisper behind my back! You all think I'm oblivious but I'm not!] Cresselia had tears in her eyes.
[Darkrai . . . I-] She started but Darkrai was way to pissed.
[NO!] He shouted, his shadow expelling dark energy. [I did my damn time in the Distortion World! I made amends, yet, some Legends are still wary. They should know by now the only reason I went on that murderous rampage was because those damned villagers killed an innocent eight year old girl for being my friend! I'm sorry I hurt you Cressy, but now, you've hurt me. So please, go away.] He said pointing to the corridor to his left. Cresselia looked at him, sobbing, and flew off.
"Ouch. That was harsh. Though, 1,000 years is a long time to hold a grudge." I said. Cassidy was in thought and looking down.
"Darkrai, when Azelf called you "Darky", she apologized. Was that the little girls nickname for you?" Cassidy asked. Darkrai simply nodded.
[Arceus, what's the answer?] He asked, very little emotion in his voice.
"Request granted Darkrai. Time away from here may do you some good." Arceus answered.
[Thanks Arceus. I'm ready, oh and don't bring me back out. I would like to be alone.] I nodded and threw a Luxury Ball at him. He was sucked inside and the ball pinged and the stripes turned black. I picked up the ball and put it on my belt.
"Before you send a teammate of yours to that infernal PC system you have, I can have Rotom or Mewtwo hack the system and set it up so you may have more Pokémon on your team." I nodded.
"Thanks, I mean it." Arceus chuckled.
"You're welcome. Please, stay the night. Regice!" The Ice Golem was teleported into the room.
[What do you need Arceus?] It asked in a somewhat feminine robotic voice.
"Please escort Mike and his girlfriend to an unused room."
[Right away Arceus.] It turned to us.
[Please follow me.] We followed the Ice Golem for about a minute until it stopped.
[Enjoy your stay Assassin. If you have any questions, do not be afraid to ask any Regi classified Pokémon.] It then floated away.
"Say Mike?" I turned to face Cassidy who had a . . . oh boy.
"Remember that little "comment" I made a couple of hours ago? Yeah, that's happening now." She said, a seductive smile on her face.
'Ravaza, if you watch-'
'I'm going, I'm going. See ya later.' I felt his presence leave my mind.
"Oh yeah, I'm also keeping my promise of tearing off your clothes." She then pulled me in the room, and slammed the door shut. I of course, soundproofed the room and locked the door. All the while she was literally ripping my cloths off, and kissing me deeply.
DWA: HELL YA OVER 1,000 VIEWS WHOOO! *Confetti and streamers falling in background* I gotta say, I'm impressed with myself and those people who tolerate my writing. I never thought I'd actually get so many views so quickly.
Mike: Form all of us here in . . . his brother's laptop I guess? We thank you. Next milestone of minor achievement is 1,500 views, then 2,000 and so on.
David: Even I'm here to say thanks. But I'm also here to say, DWA, PUT ME IN THE STORY MORE!
DWA: Shut up you're not the main focus. Be glad I give as much as I do. But seriously guys and girls, thank you. Also, I hate to ask, but I need a good cover for this. If someone would be kind enough to make one, I would make room for an OC of your very own in the story. Even if I don't use your picture, your OC will make a cameo, the winner gets a significant spot in the story. I'll put of the requirements in the next chapter. Now, as you know, Read and Review.
