Happy Turkey Day, Folks. And in Honor of the First Major Pillar of End-of-Fiscal-Year Forced Merriment Season, I'm shipping out the last few chapters of the fic just for you. Yep, More TPP focusing on recent lore. As you know, we've caught a Marill (Now a Fully Grown Azumarill) labeled T4, And looking through the new headcanons got me thinking as it always does. What if this Azumarill and a certain other Azumarill were to cross paths?
Chapter 21: Loss
Day Seventy of the New World
Nineteen Days until the Great Departure
/Mew/
I paced back and forth.
Wondering how I could be of assistance to the hands.
Naturally, I flew onward to seek out my children.
It is what Papa Arceus would do from time to time...
I looked to find what appeared to be a Jigglypuff in the Whispy Woods.
What I saw was a depressed pink puffball.
Greiving for two of his closest friends.
He had just discovered the news.
He had just learned of their demise.
"There you are Kirby! I've been looking for you!"
Said a girl with a red cap who came to confort the puffball.
"It's time for cerfew, Good buddy!" She said. "We better head off!"
The puffball just stood still.
the girl pulled the puffball as hard as she could.
It took a while, but it moved from it's spot...
...to hug one it's surviving friends.
"Met...Dede..."
those words brought tears to the girls eyes.
"I know, Kirby, I miss them, too..." she said.
"Just as Much as I'm gonna miss you...
"When the day comes, that is..."
Onward I flew
to find something a bit more happy!
When I passed a Pokemon Center in Hoenn, I saw them
Two young women with ocean blue hair.
Talking with one another.
"Do you know what it's like... to lose a friend?"
The more effeminate of the two looked away...
Clearly she was still innocent enough to have not seen sin with her own eyes.
"Well... Miss Fethym told me about her friends...
"And how they were killed by Beelzebat and Lanette...
The more hardened of the two took another swig from her flask.
"I lost my Partner in the Smash Games."
"The games?" asked the nieve one.
The hardened woman glared.
"Are they like Pokemon Battles?"
The hardened woman shook her head.
"Pokemon faint in battles, kid..." She stated.
"Smashers die."
She then explained the biggest loss of the planet.
The crushing, ruinous defeat of the Smashers of days passed.
She began to shyly look away saying... "That's just way too sad!"
I agree, the loss has hurt so many people...
If only I could be of some use to them.
'Perhaps I can help.'
Day Seventy-One of the New World
Eighteen Days until the Great Departure
/Viridi/
Doctor Mario was just karting over the new trophy from Dynos.
Dynos was the one who forged the Three Divine Treasures.
Constructed a new Great Divine Treasure for the Hands.
And now, he's finished Crazy Hand's newest Trophy.
Made from 100% Recycled material.
And wth this new Core Gem, I can transfer the soul from the old to he new.
I just need to set up the backstory.
"Normally evolving after being raised by a trainer who is pure in heart, You shall evolve as the first
"We have lost a great deal of warriors and now we need you to herald the new beginning."
I felt a spark as her persona inhabited the trophy, bringing it new life from one lost.
'It's Perfect, Viridi! Thank You!' And with that, the new Pokemon embraced me in a Hug.
A Hug I really wasn't in the mood for.
"Would you please get off of me!?" I yelled.
'Oh, Sorry.' She said as she retreated to the medical bed.
"Now, keep in mind that body is on par with Mewtwo so it may need some getting used to."
'Kay!' Said the newly-evolved new-species pokemon 'I'll keep that in mind.'
"And as a new member of our salvaging crew..." I said to her mussle.
"You have to pick apart the shrunken stages and racetracks."
'That'll be a snap!' The pokemon cherped with a grin.
She shouldn't be too sure of herself...
there's quite a lot that we've collec-
WHAT!
I didn't know she had telekenisis!
Now, She's pulling them all apart at once like it was nothing!?
And each part was sorted off into a plethora of boxes.
Kinda like the Item Box the hands have tucked away from us.
Never to be opened until it leaves it's little cubby hole in the spaceship.
Long after the ever onymous Great Departure.
"I gotta admit, I am impressed." I said.
"And with my job done, It's off to your pokemon trainer."
She was befuddled, But Palutena told her not to be
The trainer was deemed pure hearted.
The trainer was deemed a hero.
The trainer was our pilot.
/Nagi/
I had just finished building the Ark.
My wife came to me, clutching her stomach.
The Baby would be born far away from this world.
And I still havent thought up a name for the litle runt...
'Good Morrow to you.' A voice in my head chimed in.
It resembled an angel in form,
My angel...
Madoka.
'Now that we have the Ark to sustain us,' Quoth the Angel
'you must convince all the Fauna of my home to come to your beck and call.'
Wait a second, Fauna, As in Pokemon!?
Who was this maiden.
The Angel's glow gave way.
And I saw her,
Viridi's gift.
Ultimew.
Yeah, See, I've recently remembered this design for an evolved version of Mew. You can check it out at Deviantart, go look it up at your leisure. So anyway folks, Adeline's characterization in this story comes mostly from recently wrapped webcomic Brawl in the Family. Just wanted to put that out there for what Master Hand is bound to say in the Penultimate or Final Chapter.
