Chapter 14- Hello There!

Location: Celestial Heavens

Uxie hurried to where his siblings were fooling around. "I have something important to announce," he whispered to them. They quickly followed him over to where all the other legendaries were chatting.

The Celestial Heavens is the closest place one could reach to Arceus without having him to come to Earth or in a more important fact, wake up. The Celestial Heavens wasn't exactly real but more of a place of mind. It was semi-physical, connecting the minds of every legendary Pokémon. This area of connection was located in The Light, the dimension where Arceus rested. Since no one had a physical state, damage couldn't be done.

One by one, each legendary turned their heads towards Uxie. He had been moping around for the past few days, doing nothing in particular.

"There's been something that I'm quite concerned with," he started. Several murmurs could be heard from the crowd. "I've sensed quite a strong energy source in the Hoenn. Problem is, I don't know what it is," Alarmed looks came from the crowd.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Lugia questioned. Uxie was the Knowledge Pokémon. Only Arceus was more omniscient than him.

"All I can say is that there is a large power surge coming from that area…" Uxie continued. He shook his head several times. "One more thing… two members will be joining the legendary council by the end of today,"

Mewtwo and Deoxys frowned at this. They had been the most recent and even that had been some time ago. Who could be these new ones? Why didn't Uxie know anything about the situation?

"Do you have any other information?" Mewtwo asked.

"Yes. The surge seems to be coming from Atios and Atias Island, small pieces of land off of Alto Mare," Uxie replied blandly. Lugia frowned at this. There were no islands off of Alto Mare… and that's where Latias and Latios lived… wait.

"Hold on, isn't Ash in Alto Mare too?" Lugia asked with concern. Uxie nodded and turned around to leave… only to whip around again. If his eyes could open, the other legendaries would've seen it filled with despair.

"Oh no… this isn't good," he whispered.

Location: Alto Mare

Charred embers flew through the air as Ash, Bianca, Brock, and Misty all ran towards the main canal. There, they could see Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy running about, tending the wounded. Surprisingly enough, Brock didn't even try to flirt with any of them. A small Squirtle brigade was working on putting out the fire on the decoy ships. Despite all the water near the port, the fire kept spreading.

Ash quickly threw his Pokéball to release Totodile, who quickly saw what was going on and went to go help. Bianca just stood there. First her family was broken, now her home city? She quickly snapped out of it and helped the others carry the survivors back to the Pokémon center.

While his friends were helping Nurse Joy, Ash was trying to help with Officer Jenny to put out the fires, despite her protests (she didn't want anyone else hurt). The water didn't seem to be putting out the fires, but instead seemed to be helping it. Soon, a raging inferno rose above the city.

"Why isn't it working?" Officer Jenny cried. Ash didn't have any time to respond as another explosion sounded from a near building. The inferno had already burned the entire port area. The situation didn't look like it would improve anytime soon. Not until the entire city was burned.

Ash wondered where he was for a moment. Why did things look all hazy all of a sudden? Why couldn't he breathe? He opened his mouth only for a lungful of smoke to rush inside. He stumbled, desperately trying to find his way out. He took another step into… nothing and plunged straight into the ocean.

Blu blinked somewhat groggily as he awoke. He tried sitting up to figure out his surroundings. Currently, that was a cage somewhere along the long hallways in the Rocket base. He looked down at his human body. He figured that was his current default storm and decided to check his items next. He still had everything… it was just invisible. He sighed at the annoyance with the cloaking mechanism. He found enough space to stand up and stretch a little.

He was in your typical prison cage area, except that everything in the area seemed more high tech. Red lines etched through the black walls, seeming to lead blazing energy to somewhere… it looked a lot like the secret closet area back home.

His thoughts were interrupted by a small squeak coming from the corner of the room. He quickly turned around to see… nothing. Blu frowned. He swore he had heard something or someone. He sighed and sat down, trying to cope with what had happened the past few hours. His home had been destroyed, his "father" captured, met with some total strangers named Bianca, Ash, and Lorenzo, and then…

"Wait, you met them?" a small voice asked. Blu jumped up and stood in the fighting stance Sky had always taught him about. His eyes scanned the room and still saw nothing. He frowned. This time he was certain someone had used telepath to him.

"Oi! You kid! Who do you think you are, a human or a Pokémon?" taunted one of the guards as they made their daily patrol through the prisons. His partner snickered. The 3rd guard, the green one Blu had met many times already, stood there with his arms crossed, showing no emotion at all. His mask turned towards Blu. He felt another wave of emotions rush through his body once more.

'Wait for the right time,' a voice similar, but not exact, to Sky's sounded through his head. After that simple phrase, the guard simply walked off, along with the others.

Blu was confused but decided to worry about everything later. Right now, he needed to escape. He sat down and took off his invisible satchel, trying to find the uncloaking mechanism. As he worked, he thought he felt something feathery brush up against him but disregarded it, paying all his attention trying to work. He grabbed what seemed to be a wire and tugged at it several times. After it held steady, Blu decided that there was no harm in trying to yank it. He forcefully pulled on it, freeing it from the satchel and uncloaking it. In doing so, it also released a massive cloud of smoke.

Blu coughed and waved his hand in front of his face several times, trying to get some clean air. After it cleared, he groaned and sat up, only to be met face to face with a red and white feathered dragon.
