When Ethan's mom suddenly appeared, Ethan, Korrina, and I all stood still and time seemed to freeze.

Their mom stared at all three of us, and we stared back; then I saw tears start welling up in her eyes.

She sprinted forward and practically tackled Ethan, then Korrina came and joined the hug, and I stood by watching as gears in my head started spinning like crazy, trying to come up with some sort of explanation.

I felt someone's hand on my shoulder and I turned to see Leonidas standing there.

"You have a lot of explaining to do." I said quietly. "On more than one topic."

Leonidas smiled and said, "Well, that can be done later, it looks like there's a reunion you need to get to." He gestured to Ethan and Korrina.

I looked over and I saw Their mom looking at me, she waved her hand telling me to come and join the hug.

I sighed and walked over. She let go of Ethan and Korrina and hugged me tightly.

"Thank you," she whispered in my ear. "For taking care of Ethan for me."

I smiled and hugged her back; then for that small moment, all the world's problems dissapeared and I was just glad to see the woman who'd raised me till she disappeared.

We broke our hug and then Ethan and Korrina started barraging her with an infinite amount of questions.

I stepped back and stood next to Leonidas, Then Kro appeared as well; he looked a little panicked.

"Hey," he said, "You know how I had removed the Earth from the effects of the Authors Script? Yeah well, it turned out to be not as good as Arceus thought." He grabbed my arm, "We need to talk in private."

I shrugged his hand off, "Can we do it later? I have other stuff I need to figure out now."

Kro sighed nervously, "This is much more important than you think, we need to talk, and soon."

And with that he popped out of existence.

I was about to start talking to Leonidas, but Looker showed up.

"Can I speak with you?" he asked, "There are some things we found in Splay's base and-" he stopped when he noticed the Blaziken standing near by looking around totally baffled by everything he saw.

"Who is that?" Looker asked.

"That is the host Splay possessed." I replied.

"What's his name?"

I rubbed the back of my head, "His name is Splay."

I saw Looker's arm shift slightly toward his belt. "You do realize he's the only one we can blame for all the destruction he's caused? If the government finds out who he is, then he will be put down on sight."

My eyes got wide, "Okay, first of all, we've already got all this figured out with Arceus. Second, the government doesn't need to know about this. We can change his name and he can just be another one of Ethan's Pokemon or something; but this guy is totally innocent."

Looker rubbed his chin. "Fine, but you need to get that figured out now. Then we need to talk." He turned and walked away.

I walked over to where Splay was standing. "Okay, here's the deal." He looked down at me and seemed to give me his full attention. "You are currently a convicted criminal. Because that Dark Aura possessed your body everyone thinks you're a killer, what you need to do is change your name and we will have a disguise of some sort for you."

Splay looked at me for a moment, "What about Quarrel?"

I cocked an eyebrow, "What?"

"What about Quarrel for my name?"

I just shook my head and said, "Whatever, now your name is Quarrel, that is the name I am going to call you and that is the name everyone else will call you. Do not respond to Splay and if anyone accuses you of being him, deny it."

Quarrel nodded.

"Okay good. We should be heading to Kalos soon, so lay low for now."

Quarrel nodded again.

I turned around and saw Ethan and Korrina guiding their mom towards the pokemon center; probably to talk some more. I decided to give them some time, and take this opportunity to talk to Leonidas.

I walked over to him and switched to Poke-speak. "We need to talk."

"You've already said this." he paused, "What do you need to know?"

"First off, how the heck is Ethan's mom still alive?" I asked. "She, and Their dad, should've died in a car accident when Ethan was four."

Leonidas nodded, "Yes, that was the case, but the accident was staged by Splay. He took Ethan's parents captive. His dad tried to play hero and got himself killed instead."

"So what has Splay been doing with their mom?" I asked.

"Splay thought that he would be able to use Ethan's parents to his advantage and possibly manipulate him. Of course by the time he could have used them, their dad was dead and Ethan was so famous that if he revealed anything about his parents it would not end well for him."

"Hm, well I guess that explains everything about Ethan's mom. What about this divine form?"

Leonidas frowned, "Could we talk about this on the way home?"

I cocked an eyebrow, "Uh, sure. Why can't we talk about it now?"

Leonidas didn't respond for a moment before saying, "Because Arceus wants me to wait for a bit."

I was about to press him for details but Looked stepped back into the conversation.

He held out a smartphone. "Take this and give it to Ethan; we still need to talk about some things, but we're leaving. The yacht that brought you here will be returning you home."

I took the phone from him and he walked away.

I just held the phone in my hand and looked around as the inter-pol agents started walking back into the helicopter. I saw Serena walking over to us, her emotions said that her hope was just crushed.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Nothing." She was lying.

"You need to stop lying to me, it's never going to work." I said folding my arms.

Serena sighed and said, "I was hoping that Splay hadn't killed all my Pokemon, that maybe he had left one alone. But that was just a fantasy." Her voice cracked slightly at the end and she didn't keep on talking.

I glanced behind and noticed an inter-pol agent walking over holding a Pokeball.

"Looker told me to give this to you." He said to Serena and he put the Pokeball in her hand.

He walked off without saying anything else.

I could sense hope radiating off of her. She just looked at the Pokeball and looked back up at me, she looked like she would burst into tears.

I cocked an eyebrow. I nudged Quarrel, "We should go now."

Serena looked thankful as Quarrel and I walked off to leave her alone. I looked around for Jack; he was standing a little ways off talking with his team. He seemed to have completely lost interest in everything else except for whatever he and his team were discussing.

I thought for a moment. "Maybe now would be the best time to talk to Jack in private; at least while we're all waiting to leave."

I walked over, followed by Quarrel, and tapped Jack on the shoulder. He turned around and I said, "Can I talk with you in private now?"

Jack gave me an annoyed look, but then he seemed to reconsider something and his expression became more calm. "Yeah, sure."

I nodded and led him away from the group. I looked back and saw Quarrel following us.

I sighed and said, "I know this is all new to you and stuff, but me and Jack need to talk alone; in private."

Quarrel nodded and walked in the other direction.

I turned back to Jack. "There are some things that Arceus told me to tell you, but not to tell anyone else.

Jack raised an eyebrow. "I see; what kind of 'things?'"

I hesitated. "Like things about where I came from..." I paused as I thought about where to start. "I have lived multiple different lives. Lives that I don't remember."

Jack gave me a strange look.

I sighed and rubbed my hands together nervously. "Why am I so nervous?"

"That divine form that I changed into is actually something that I figured out a long time ago," I felt like I was starting this wrong. "How about this, I will explain from the beginning."

"So, after Splay disappeared, and the darkness left, the earth was flooded in light, so much so that it was centered on five Pokemon. Those Pokémon developed special abilities where they could change their form and multiply their power, power even greater than Fuse Evolution. One of those Pokémon was Leonidas's son..." I paused again. "That was me."

Jack blinked. "Okay, didn't see that one coming; although, for the record, I knew you must have been descended from someone powerful. But didn't Leonidas live thousands of years ag… Oh," an expression of sudden revelation crossed Jack's face. "That's what you meant by multiple lives; you've lived for thousands of years but you can't remember all of it, can you."

I nodded. "Each time I reach the end of my life, instead of dying, my memory is wiped and I am put somewhere different and my new life starts again." I sighed, "And I figured out that I've had children in my past lives, but Arceus said I wouldn't be able to find any of them, because I've outlived them all." I rubbed my eyes. "Now that I think about it, that is super weird."

Jack's brow furrowed. "Who exactly does all this memory wiping and relocating, and why?"

"Well, apparently we were like defenders of Earth or something and we couldn't be replaced because the light had chosen us."

Jack nodded. "Okay, but that doesn't really answer my question; why did your memory have to be wiped every time, and who's responsibility was it?"

I thought for a moment. "I never figured that out."

"That's kinda what I figured," Jack said. "Seems to me though, those would be some interesting questions to ask Arceus if you ever see him again; I'm actually surprised you didn't ask him the first time around."

I rubbed the back of my head. "Yeah it never crossed my mind, but I will most definitely be seeing Arceus again, many times probably. And that brings me into the next thing I wanted to say. You know how Arceus wanted everyone to leave to discuss my punishment?"

"Yeah," Jack folded his arms. "I was kinda curious about that, but I just figured it was probably something better kept private."

"Yeah, not entirely." I thought about how to approach this. "So, as my punishment, Arceus made me his heir." I looked at Jack to see how he would respond.

"Yeah," Jack said, nodding. "Okay, I can see tha…" He froze and looked me in the eyes; then his jaw dropped. "He… HE WHAT!?"

"Before you start asking questions, you need to know what it means. I will be around pretty much forever." I thought for moment. "I am going to see Ethan get old, then his kids, then his grandkids. This ruins having a family of my own because I would watch them get old and die as well. I'll watch the world change and everything it brings. If I stay in the public the government will start asking questions of why I'm still alive. I won't die until after I take Arceus' place, and he's the youngest of the current Legendaries. I will be alive for thousands of years, or at least this life will. My life might still loop back even after I'm Arceus and I've died. I have been trapped on this Earth in a never ending loop of life after life." I rubbed my eyes. "I need to go and meditate on this or something."

"I see," Jack said solemnly. "I guess when you put it like that, immortality is a pretty cruel punishment after all."

I sighed. "I have a small request, I think."

Jack raised an eyebrow. "Go on."

"How long do you think you'll live for?"

Jack closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Well, provided nothing kills me… I really don't know; I may look like I'm in my late teens by human standards, but I'm really only a little more than ten years old. Based on that, I think it's safe to assume that I won't age at the same rate as humans from here on out either; but I really can't say for sure. That's one of the questions I hope to get answered some day."

I raised my eyebrows. "Oh, okay then. Well, I was going to ask… how do I put this... After Ethan passes away, I might not be in the right mind, and I don't have very many friends. So if you are still alive, maybe I could spend some time with you?"

Jack sighed. "I can tell that you don't enjoy thinking about it; I couldn't imagine what it would be like to actually live through that. Yes though; if I'm still around you can spend all the time you want with me. If I outlive Ethan, then there's a good chance I'll outlive most of my Pokémon too; and if that happens, I'll be glad of your company as well."

I frowned. "I'm glad that you said yes, but… I find it difficult to see Ethan getting old. Like I can't imagine him having kids and a family." I rubbed my eyes again. "I guess I have a while though."

Jack nodded. "Yeah; that future is a long time away, and we have no way of knowing whether it will even happen. Even so, it's good to be prepared. But for now, I'd recommend spending as much time with Ethan as possible; if you're right about all this then you're in for a long and lonely life, and these days with Ethan are probably going to be some of your best memories. Make them good ones."

I nodded. "Yeah, I guess so. We should go and see when we're leaving."

"Right. Let's head back."

We turned and started heading to the Pokemon center. When we arrived, everyone was ready to go.

Ethan walked up to us with a stupid grin on his face. "Where have you guys been? We are leaving here pretty soon."

"We were just talking." I stared at him for a second. "Why are you smiling like an idiot?"

"Well, I just figured out my mom isn't dead; I think you'd be pretty glad to see your parents, wouldn't you?"

That seemed to hit something inside me and I didn't respond for a moment. "Yeah, that'd be pretty great."

I saw Ethan's mom approaching from behind him.

"Who is this?" she asked gesturing to Jack.

"This is Jack Storm," Ethan said. "He helped us stop Splay."

Ethan's mom stuck her hand out. "My name is Keira, It's nice to meet you Jack."

"It's nice to meet you too, Ms. Wilson," Jack said, shaking her hand; looking at him, I could've sworn I saw his expression waver. As though he was trying to hide his true emotions.

I decided to ask him about it later and said to Ethan, "We should be heading now."

Ethan nodded and turned, "Hey! We're leaving now so everybody grab your stuff and let's go."

"Right," Jack said. "Jason, is all our stuff packed and ready to go?"

"Yes, it is," Jack's Lucario brother said. "As you'd know, if you'd actually helped out."

"I was kinda busy offering deep philosophical advice and comfort," Jack said with a straight face.

"Riiight," Jason deadpanned. "But yes, everything's packed, and everyone is ready; we figured it would be best if we all stayed in the Pack for the trip to Kalos, it makes things simpler that way."

"Alright then," Jack said, turning to Ethan and me. "We're all set; we can leave whenever you're ready."

Ethan nodded and said, "Let us be off!"

The boat trip to Kalos was a long one, but there was plenty to talk about on the way.

"Hey Jack, who're your parents? Not your adopted ones." I asked him. "You seemed pained or something when you shook Keira's hand."

Jack looked stunned for a second, but then he regained his composure and started staring into space as though he was thinking hard about something.

"To tell you the truth," he said solemnly, "I have absolutely no idea; my parents, or the Lucario couple who I consider my parents, they found me in a basket in the woods. They have no idea who left me there, or why. To be honest, my adoptive family is nice, I mean really nice, and I wouldn't trade them for anyone else, but I have always wanted to know who my birth parents were."

"Until recently, I had the same goal. Now I know that my dad was Leonidas; I guess I should ask him about my mom." I said smiling at him.

Jack smiled back, albeit half-heartedly. "Yeah; that's probably a good idea. When you do find out, make sure to tell me; okay?"

"Will do."

"This is exactly what I want to talk to you about."

I nearly jumped off the boat as I spun around to see Krominicon standing there holding the Author's Script.

"Things are changing Lucas, weird things." He glanced around for a second. "The future keeps changing over and over and can't seem to make up its mind."

"Do we need to talk about this somewhere private?" I asked.

Kro glanced around again. "Yes, bring Jack as well."

Then he disappeared.

"Well, he didn't tell us where to meet, so I guess we just go somewhere private then." I said shrugging.

We went into one of the bedrooms and Krominicon appeared again.

"Okay, so, the biggest change that keeps happening is about when you meet certain people." He opened the book and flipped through the pages. "Even as we speak you could or could not be meeting important people in the future. This conversation seems to cause a lot of distress to the Author's Script too."

He held the book out for us to see, all I saw were letters scrambling around on the page.

"Didn't you say you'd cut this world off from the influence of the script?" Jack asked.

"I did, but it didn't have the desired effect. The world is no longer set on a specific path, instead it's setting its own course. The script for some reason is still trying to predict what will happen in the fut-" he paused and looked at the Script for a second, then looked back up. "It keeps trying to predict the future, but it can't because there is no set future. Every decision you make changes something, even the smallest things that you don't even think about; like which foot to put forward first."

My eyes got wide as I suddenly gained a whole new view on the world around me. "Whoa, you did not need to say that."

"But I did. Before I removed the world from the script, after Splay's fall the world was going to be peaceful; or at least nothing world threatening would happen. Now I can't guarantee anything." He looked at Jack. "Your future is the most distressed. I won't tell you about what would've happened, but let's just say now I definitely can't."

Jack crossed his arms. "From what I've read, knowing the future is rarely a good thing; it almost never ends well. Maybe this is for the best."

Kro didn't seem to be paying attention to what Jack just said, instead he was staring at the open pages of the script wide eyed. He closed the book sharply and said, "I have to go."

Without another word, he then popped out of existence.

"Well, that was interesting," I said.

"Not the word I'd use," Jack deadpanned. "What's your opinion of all this? Because quite frankly, I think I might have missed something."

"You and me both." I patted him on the shoulder and headed out of the room. "But I'm pretty sure I'll find out one of these days," I said over my shoulder as he followed me out.

The rest of the trip was relatively uneventful, and we were in sight of the Kalos shore in a couple of hours.

The Coumarine shore was almost entirely empty except for a single limousine waiting. Within a few hours we were pulling into the dock and getting ready to disembark. Finally the loading rap was put into place and we were headed to the limo.

The driver got out of the front seat to help us with our bags. He put them in the trunk and we all got into the luxurious vehicle. Jack took one look inside the limousine, and his eyes grew to the approximate size of dinner plates.

"I've heard stories about these kinds of cars," he said in awe. "I never thought I'd get to ride in one."

Ethan shrugged. "You get used to it after a while."

The ride was relatively short as we headed to Lumiose. We stopped just outside of the South-East gate where Looker was waiting with three jeeps. We all stepped out of the Limo and Ethan and I approached Looker.

"So, are we not going into the city first?" Ethan asked.

Looker nodded. "I assumed you guys would want a ride to Alazin, considering Klang doesn't have enough mass to make enough dirt bikes. So I hooked you up with the next best thing."

Ethan nodded. "I think we can all agree that this is much appreciated."

"Yes," I said. "This makes things a lot easier. So, who's all driving?"

"Can I have a go?" Jack asked.

I looked at him in surprise. "You want to drive?"

Jack shrugged. "Sounds like fun; better than running at any rate."

"As long as I am not in the same vehicle," Ethan said, "I'm all about it."

"Thanks for that vote of confidence," Jack deadpanned.

Ethan flashed him a grin. "No problem."

"Well then, I can ride with Jack; but I don't know how to drive so I can't teach him," I said. "How about you Keira? Maybe you can teach him?"

Keira cocked an eyebrow. "Shouldn't I be driving a different one?"

"Oh, yeah. I think Korrina is old enough to drive as well," I said.

Korrina gave me a weird look. "The last time I drove was quite a while ago. But it's probably like riding a bike; maybe."

"Okay then." Ethan said, "We have our drivers set. Jack, this will be a new learning experience. The throttle is on the right, the break is on the left." He gave Jack a thumbs up.

Jack nodded. "Okay then, let's do this; how hard could it be?"

HA! Famous last words. I'm hilarious.

Jack Storm448: That was actually me.

Me: Oh right. anyway, I hope you are looking forward to the next chapter, it should significantly more exciting... hopefully. I am not making any guarantees about when it will come out because those all disappeared when school started. Remember, please leave a review, i don't even care if you are following the story. I just need to know what I am doing wrong.

See you guys next time, or whatever.
