It was the morning after, I had got some decent rest for once and the others had prepared my equipment… Eliza and Draindance were just getting themselves ready, then we'd all head off. We had worked out a route to take to find the three legendary beings that we had decided to enlist… we were to head north by bus to the mountains where Mewtwo was reported to be hiding, then we'd cross the ocean by ferry to a small island retreat called the Wavecrest island. This island was originally a resort for humans only, but conveniently, both Suicune and Rayquaza had taken up residence there, most likely in protest or something similar. "Alright then, you two done? We haven't a moment to lose!" I said, literally hopping from one foot to the other, Draindance sighed "Sareh, we have a whole week to do something I could achieve in three days…" I shook my head and protested "are you kidding me? this is a huge undertaking!… the legendary things have a really bad reputation for stubbornness and apathy!" Eliza laughed "yeah, you got that right…" Draindance huffed, folding her arms "so what, your Sareh's bitch now?" we all broke into fits of laughter… eventually, I collected my self and said "oh… yeah… if only… anyway, let's go!… the bus stop awaits"
As we left the building, my thoughts turned to Alex… should I tell him about what I was doing?… I figured it'd only make him worry, and knowing him, he probably had a lot on his mind. We waited at the bus stop for a short while, until one pulled up… as we got on, I noticed the driver worked for the same bus company as Helga does… "Sir… do you know a woman called Helga?" he nodded "oh yeah… turned into a Pokemon wasn't she?… damn lucky thing she didn't lose her job I say…" I sighed with relief "thanks, that's all I needed to know… and… uhh… keep the change" he grinned "thank you kindly sir" and doffed his cap. I took a seat in-between the girls, and with a shunt, the bus set off… "Sareh, I was just thinking…" Draindance murmured, I looked at her "yes?" she asked "maybe we should enlist the help of the most recently discovered ones… you know, the space one and the time one…" I growled "those two are too far up their own asses to consider helping us out… they'd sooner side with Advent just because he's more powerful…" she fell abruptly silent, making me feel a bit guilty… "look… I'm sorry… we can try one of them… but how the hell do you propose I find them?" there was another silence… "well… everyone says they only appear at Spear Pillar…" I rolled my eyes "that's one hell of a climb… we're only doing that if we have time left over… alright?" she nodded.
After about half an hour's drive, we stopped at the bottom of a large peak… naturally, I was told that Mewtwo was hiding at the very top, making our lives even more difficult, but I was relieved to find that we had enough money to go on a helicopter ride about four-fifths the way up… I tried to restrain the urge to pin the blame on him as we boarded the helicopter. It had been a long while since I had travelled by air… and the last time I had was back when I was human, so I felt a little uneasy at first. However, as we neared the landing area, something that terrified me occurred… until now the pilot had been silent, but the intercom sparked on, and in a monotonous voice he asked "why have you come all this way?" it seemed odd he'd ask such a question, something was wrong… "I travelled a long way to avoid your kind, and now I'm some kind of tourist attraction!?!" then it hit me… the pilot was being mind controlled, and it was pretty obvious who by!… the people on board began to panic, and as the helicopter landed, they jumped out and fled as fast as their legs would carry them… it was just me, Eliza and Draindance… the pilot immediately lost consciousness and was snoring loudly, we left the helicopter and looked up. I sighed with relief as I saw that Mewtwo was not hiding, and that he had in fact came down to us to talk… just what I needed. "Well then, tell me, why are you here?… your not humans, but your not any of the local varieties either, so speak!" I knelt on one knee, and motioned for Eliza and Draindance to do the same… "I apologise for disturbing you, but frankly… I… no, we need your help… everybody…" he hovered down to our height, a slight grin apparent "that's ridiculous… help?... with what?" I scratched the back of my head "well… Team Galactic… they" he interrupted "if this is any of the petty stuff they normally do, then the answer is no… but wait… I can tell it's not… you aren't lying to me… hmm… go on…" disturbed at the idea of him reading my mind, I continued "well, they accidentally created a powerful automated weapon… it's like nothing I have ever seen… and it seems determined to create a world without life… I felt that, seeing as you are a living thing, maybe you'd help us?" he thought for a moment… "what do you propose I'm to do against a robot, exactly?" I desperately wracked my brain for a decent response "well… your telekinesis works on anything, right?… and we'll have others too… at least a pair of them…" he nodded "by others I can tell you mean ones of power rivalling my own… well, there is no use to me just sitting around doing nothing… but I need to know what's in it for me, Lucario…" I nodded "of course… let's say I owe you a favour then… and my name is Sareh" he laughed "I know your name already, but I didn't want you to think we're friends just because I'm saving you from some robot that you can't handle… alright then, where shall I meet you?… ah, I know already… outside the Veilstone HQ in six days time… your mind is easy to read, Lucario…" I nodded gingerly, and then left as quick as possible… unfortunately, it took a long time for the pilot to come-to, so we were stuck atop the mountain for a good few minutes.
At the bottom, I sighed with relief "good lord… he was easier than I thought… carry on like this and we might well get one of those god-complex freaks to help us…" Eliza rolled her eyes "jeez Sareh, have you got some kind of grudge against them or something?" I sighed "well… sort of, I just hate how everyone worships them just because of mythology… I mean, they're powerful and all, but isn't calling them gods a little much?" I could tell they didn't want to argue with me, neither of them responded… "oh man, I'm being such an ass…" I said, Draindance smiled "don't worry Sareh, you've had a hard time, I fully understand n' all" we made no delay in heading to the port where the ferry was waiting, even though we were making great time, it was due to leave any minute. After a while of running, we slogged onto the thing just moments before it set off… I slumped to the ground and tried to catch my breath. A man walked past, and looked at me curiously "wait… hell, are you that Sareh kid?" I nodded, he seemed amazed "man, you don't stay in one place for long do you?… and why are you heading to the Wavecrest islands of all places?" I sighed "it's a very long story, but in short, we're heading there to see Suicune and Rayquaza" he grinned "somehow I knew it'd be something on a massive scale, aint nothing humble about you kid, that's for sure…" Eliza laughed "well, apart from the thing between his legs" and with that, they all burst into laughter, I began to blush and grumbled "you enjoyed it, stop complaining…"
After a half hour, we stopped and disembarked, walking a short way we found the place we were looking for… the island resort was certainly nice… but worryingly, it was abandoned… I walked closer and examined a sign that had been hastily erected… it read "caution, this area is occupied by a pair of powerful and intelligent Pokemon who's intentions are unclear, the hotel and surrounding are closed for the time being. I took a deep breath, and then we ducked the barrier and approached the hotel… it was largely unharmed, but a few of the windows had been smashed completely, and one of the pools was worryingly frozen solid. "Hello, anybody there?… anybody?" I called out, worriedly looking around me… it seemed that there was no-one around… I sighed with relief, then suddenly froze as Draindance said "uhhhm… Sareh… behind you…" I turned around, fearing for the worst… but perhaps the most dumb scene I could possibly contemplate was happening. Suicune was behind me… sniffing… my ass.
I turned around and staggered back, slipping up on the icy pool and falling on my rear "wh.. what are you doing?!?" I exclaimed as it drew closer "interesting, your not from near here are you?… you must be that Sareh boy…" I swallowed and nodded gingerly "yes… th… that's… me…" I could tell by it's voice it was male… "well… what in the world are you doing here?" I bowed my head "we need your help… Team Galactic has unleashed a machine that is a threat to the entire Sinnoh region… so me and my friends found the locations of every legendary being like you who was nearby, with your help we can stop it…" Suicune chuckled "oh, I love it when people call me legendary… fine, I'll help you… but where you seeking Rayquaza as well?" I nodded, and he shook his head "no good, he's hibernating… in fact, that's why I came here originally, to watch over him while he rests, but that's a long story… you have my help at least" I nodded "thank you very much… I can't thank you enough for this" he smiled "oh, but my fans can… the notoriety I'll gain is reason enough…" I stated "great… you'll need to come to Veilstone city in six days time… the earlier the better…" he nodded "I shall… but if this is a wind-up, I'll encase you in an iceberg, and that's no fun for the likes of you" I nodded worriedly "yes… thank you thank you…" and with that, we left at some speed… I now had two of the three… but if we were to be assured of victory, we'd need a third. "Nice job Sareh, these guys really seem to like you" I grinned "well, I guess it's a Pokemon thing… so, I guess we should go to Spear Pillar then?" they both nodded, and I sighed "seeing as I've been lucky enough to get two in one day, my luck will run out and this one will no doubt be difficult… we should get some rest here, then we'll head back to the mainland tomorrow" and with that, we sought out an empty room in the hotel… most of them were full of junk or damaged, but we found one room for three that was enough to accommodate us.
As I climbed into bed, Draindance asked "do you honestly think you can talk Palkia or Daielga into helping us?" I muttered "probably not… but it's worth a try… chances are that only one of them will be present at the Pillar, and it's likely that it'll say no or even try to attack us… if it does, just run" she nodded, and I turned away to sleep. Was I doing the right thing?… would it be worth it trying to get their help, and what'd happen if we did?… there was no way of telling, so I just swallowed my anxiety and tried to get some sleep.
