I rode on Serpentine and put on the Aqua suit. I looked at the meteor. Suddenly, an odd life form appeared. A triangle, if you will. Tentacles appeared behind it. There was Deoxys.
"Serpentine!" I yelled. "Aim for it's side!" Serpentine roared. Once I got close enough, I dismounted from Serpentine. Deoxys was damaged, but Serptentine lost a lot of energy destroying the meteor. It was gone, and Serpentine floated through space, aimlessly. It wasn't far at all, but trying to float my way through space to get Serpentine was a literal death sentence, because it gave Deoxys an opening. I got out my conveniently-placed dagger. Punching Deoxys, I did a bit of damage, but he has such a ridiculously thick head. If I didn't have the Aqua Suit, this would've been much worse. I got myself stuck in an endless battle against him. Eventually, we grabbed each others hands, trying to push the other away, disorienting them. Deoxys's arms split, slowly coming towards me. I let my left arm go to send out Lucius.
"Close Combat!" Lucius threw too many punches for Deoxys. Unconscious, I sent Lucius back out to protect him. I took the dagger, and cut Deoxys's chest orb in half, and took the remainder. Because Deoxys, the chest orb regrew, and I cut the other side. Combining the chest orb, I was able to get his chest orb while keeping him alive. I had to go to the Cave of Origin, for that was where ghosts roamed. I captured Deoxys and called him "Morpheus". I sent out Blew to find Serpentine and retrieve him. After everyone was safe, I headed to the Cave of Origin. Deeper, and deeper, and deeper I went. I smelt the wind, heard cinnamon buns. I felt blue, and saw confidence. Either my senses were going insane, or Azure was there, distorted. I hoped it was the ladder. Fortunately, it was. Azure was returning, and all of the million children or so don't have to suffer the inability to think for themselves anymore.
"Syndicate?" Azure asked. "You've done it, haven't you?" His form was returning.
"I couldn't leave you and everyone else alone..." I said.
"What of Deoxys?"
"Alive."
"Thank you." Finally in his true shape, he flew back to the Spear Pillar to solidify. I finished up my journey in Hoenn. I found Zinnia's keystones, with her body nowhere to be found. I started by returning Wally's. He hugged me. I returned Archie, and asked Shelly how she became immortal.
"It's immortality. My life would be a disaster if people knew these things and kept asking me." She said.
I finished by returning May's Keystone to her grave, and told Professor Birch everything.
"I can't stay. My people need me!" I said.
"All right, but promise me you'll visit." Birch said.
"Every six months, all right?"
He stared at me for a moment. "Oh, fine. Keep the Pokenav. It'll help you, one way or another." I thanked him, and said goodbye. I headed to Steven's house.
"You've recovered very fast. In fact, you should be fully recovered by the end of the month." He said.
"Thanks for everything." I told him.
I was ready to head to the Spear Pillar. There, I found Azure, but there was a shadowy figure accompanying him.
"Not so fast..." The voice said.
"Long time no see, eh, Cyrus?" I said.
"Time has barely passed for me. I've been here for a year and a half, but it's felt like five minutes. I can't let you get in my way again. I don't need Dialga, I don't need Palkia, I don't even need Arceus, but most of all, I don't need you."
"What do you plan to do?"
"To summon the legends of Giratina and Arceus. One will go to you, and the other is mine. Either way, you've lost." He held up two object in the air. The Grisceous Orb and the Azure Flute. He slammed the Grisceous Orb into the ground, and flung the Azure Flue my way. It played itself.
A brilliant flash of light appeared in front of me, clearing quickly enough for me to see the legend of Arceus, but there was a dark aura on the other side. Persisting, each part of Giratina was exposed one by one. First, the face. Then, the wings. Then, the legs. Finally, the torso. It had changed within himself. Giratina was in his origin form. A dark spirit approached me, ready to come to my aid. I waited for Kira's voice, but it was never heard. It was Darkrai, and he nodded his head at me.
"Come on, Phobiac, let's see how much of Cyrus we can take with us!" I said. Phobiac was the Darkrai.
"How unfair. Why can't you just play with the big kids?" A wild red aura appeared behind Cyrus, and out emerged a shadowy figure. "Yveltal! Aid me in my time of need!"
"Hrm." I threw a Zap Plate at Alpha, my name for Arceus. The wind was blowing harder than it even has before, and a lunar eclipse occurred, despite it being the afternoon twelve minutes ago.
"Go, Alpha!" I said.
"May Lucifer feast on your very soul." Cyrus sent out Giratina. "The winner of the fight doesn't have to put up with the loser's punishment."
"Which is...?" I asked.
"Your soul will be fed to Lucifer, who will feast on it back in his own world. No matter who dies, Lucifer will always win."
"That makes it all the better." I said. "Alpha! Use.."
"LUCIFER!" Cyrus yelled. "Overpower him with a Shadow Sneak!" It did next to nothing.
"Thunder wave!" Lucifer was paralyzed. I switched to Serpentine.
"I don't need Mega Evolution to deal with you!" Serpentine and Lucifer exchanged Dragon Claws, killing Serpentine instantly. "I've done enough to know that Blew will win this!" Out came a Shadow Sneak, doing more than a quarter, but Ice Beam brought Lucifer to next to nothing.
"Don't you get it?" Lucifer failed to another ice beam. "Even if Lucifer falls, he can still nibble at your soul in his world! Finish the job, Reaper." Out came a Yveltal, with a Heat wave just for Blew. It was a critical hit, and Blew was at a quarter health.
"Pain split!" Blew got health, and Reaper lost health. I got Blew to use Thunderbolt, but a Gliscor came out.
"Impressive, isn't it? Triogonial is a state-of-the-art Toxic eater." A quick Ice Beam solved that problem real quickly.
"That was disappointing, but Iceheart is different." As a Weavile came in, I sent out Alpha. Instead, out came the Reaper.
"Judgement!" I said.
"This is a world we share.." Alpha said. "Don't take it from people more deserving than yourselves!" Reaper fell.
"I know that your Arceus is electric..." Cyrus said. "Play with my Electrivire." It tried to use Earthquake, but I knew what he meant. I switched to the flying Sapphire to counter it.
"Sapphire! Switch with Morpheus!" I said. Electrivire used Ice Punch, and I went with Toxic, followed by an easily regrettable Thunder Punch. Electrivire switched to Iceheart, Night Slashing Morpheus to death.
"Sapphire! Go!" Iceheart used Ice Punch, which did almost half to Sapphire, but Sapphire knew Aeroblast, defeating Iceheart. I tried to use Extrasensory on Electrivire for the flinch, but it didn't happen. Damage and a death was dealt that day, but you can guess who got what, right? I switched to Alpha to stall off the Toxic. This left him with just one.
"Phoenixeous! Finish him!" Cyrus said, and out came Ho-oh.
"Phobiac! Dark Void and Dream Eater!" Phoenixious fell.
"Ha..." Cyrus said. He was losing his comprehension. "Reaper, Oblivion Wing..." Suddenly, Yveltal came back, and I was hit with a huge laser. Yveltal gave the energy back to Cyrus, and went back to death.
"I know, I know, I bent the rules, but think of it as a vague loophole. You're the one with least overall health, your soul is to be fed to Lucifer." He kicked me away.
"Oh.. you..." I couldn't become angry, I couldn't talk. I was losing myself, but I could see. Sight was the last I could hold on to, and I saw a purple spot.

I was feeling better, all of a sudden.
What..?
Is... Kira?
I saw Kira, and she had her hand impaling Cyrus.
"I won't live forever, but I want you to live longer than him." She said. "I've done it..." She had fallen into the shadows. I picked myself back up. Cyrus was on his knees. The whites in his eyes became all that were there. Not even the pupil became visible.
"I'm supposed to be the winner here... I'm the immortal... I won't, I refuse..." Cyrus spoke. "I..." He fell to the ground. I searched his coat, and found a key, which I took. I left his body there, for it won't come without a soul. I headed to the base and freed my old friends.
"If you hurry, you can save Maverick." Jendoa said.
"I will." I said. "Come, tell the others that it's time to pack up."
I had returned to Twinleaf Town, and Maverick was losing the will to live.
"Don't think like that..." My appearance made Maverick as estatic as she could be. "Just rest there, and you'll be fine."
I returned home and was quickly greeted by Cressa, Dawn, Professor Rowan and... CRASH! Trent...
"I guess you'll never get the hang of it..." I said.
"I did once!" Trent replied.
"Out of what?" He paused.
So, that's the story of how I learned why I should never return to Hoenn. Perhaps I'll make a few phone calls, but when would I find time to do that besides the 6 month period? I'll just enjoy my time until then, I guess.
