Chapter 25: The wind calls
A/N: Enjoy!
Summary: In the last chapter, Arcus meets his Water Mega form, Hydrus. A battle followed with Arcus the victor after using his newest combination attack, Illusion of the Grass. Hydrus then told Arcus that this was not over and that he still has to battle the other fourteen Mega forms and that's when he can finally evolve. Will Arcus be able to defeat his next opponent, Skyrus? But more importantly, will he be able to cope with his lust now that the pills were destroyed by Skyrus's companion, whoever he is.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon but I own my OC and this story.
Reminder: Arcus permanently telepathically talks to his Pokemon, family and friends.

It has been a day since Hydrus's attack, the floor that the battle had happened was repaired in record time due to the improvement in Pokemon and trainer coordination since Arcus was around. However, questions were asked about how the floor was destroyed but luckily for Arcus, he had gone back down to the ground floor before anyone else could suspect him.
But today, Arcus was not letting any chances of letting the building get destroyed by the next Mega Evolution that will attack him. So, Arcus headed for one place where he had first visited when he first arrived on Earth, Pallet Town.
After making arrangements with Professor Oak a few hours after Hydrus's attack, the professor eagerly approved of Arcus's visit and has been waiting since as Arcus made his way from Viridian City to Pallet Town.
Right now, Arcus was making his way through a small forest that Ash had first used when he was trying to get Pikachu to a Pokemon Center during the start of their journey together. With Arcus was Adina, who was now well rested from their mating session.
"How long more do we have to walk, Arcus?" Adina asked.
The Compassion Pokemon smiled,"It won't be long, Adina. Just stay positive. I don't like it when you get sad." Adina smiled and Arcus petted her head, which Adina adored."So what do you say, Adina? Will you stay positive for me?"
The Fox Pokemon replied,"For you, I will stay as happy as I can. You are the only one I love." Adina leaned closer to Arcus and she rubbed her head against him.
Arcus chuckled,"That's good to hear. Now let's keep on moving." Adina nodded as she followed him closely.
Just then, a shadow loomed over them. Arcus stopped in his tracks and looked up, only to find a Fearow diving straight at him.
The two quickly dodged the Fearow's attempted attack and Arcus said,"Adina, looks like we have a battle to finish. Use Flamethrower."
Adina nodded as her nine tails raised up high and she blasted a powerful flame from her mouth that missed the Fearow. Arcus grumbled,"That Fearow's fast. Adina, try using a Double Team Attack and follow up with a Fire Blast." Adina nodded as multiple copies of herself appeared around Arcus.
Now, the Fearow was confused at what it was seeing. It was not sure of which one to attack but instead, went on the defensive as Adina and her copies fired a ball of flame each which forms into a 大 shape. As Fearow dodged each of them, it was engulfed by the real Fire Blast attack and it screeched in pain before steadying itself.
The Fearow was now filled with rage as it dove down again, landing a blow on Adina.
Adina fell to the ground and Arcus ran over to her side,"Adina! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, Arcus. But this Fearow's quite strong." Adina spoke.
As the Fearow dove down once more, Arcus was prepared to fired a close-range Hyper Beam attack but instead of letting that happen, a Pidgeot tackled the Fearow, knocking it off course.
The Fearow turned its attention to the Pidgeot and glared it the intruding Pokemon but when it saw the Pidgeot, it cowered and flew off.
The Pidgeot gave a satisfied nod before turning his attention back to Arcus and flew down towards him.
Arcus was still on his guard when the Pidgeot perched himself on a tree branch."Hello, Arcus." He spoke.
"That voice...it can't be. Are you Ash's Pidgeotto?" Arcus asked.
Pidgeot nodded,"In the flesh. However I'm no longer a Pidgeotto. I'm a Pidgeot now, Arcus. How has Ash been? Has he made his way to Johto yet?"
Arcus replied,"Yes. Ash is traveling around Johto now. But I'm more confused. Weren't you with Ash the last time I saw you?"
The Bird Pokemon sighed,"I was Ash's Pokemon. Now, I'm back to being a wild Pokemon since I had to protect my fellow brethren from the Fearow you just fought. But now, they have evolved into Pidgeot and have left their home to search for a new one. But me, I still have one and that is back with Ash. That is why I came to you, Arcus. You are the only one who can help me. I wish to help Ash in his journey like old times."
The Compassion Pokemon smiled,"I can feel that you really mean what you say. But right now, Ash's party is full of Pokemon he has caught in Johto together with Bulbasaur. Charizard has been left at the Charicific Valley to train and Squirtle has returned back to Kanto to help with the Squirtle Squad. But don't worry. I'm sure Professor Oak has a spare Pokeball to add you back in Ash's Pokemon."
Pidgeot smiled,"Thank you, Arcus. It means a lot coming from you. I can't wait to see Ash and his new Pokemon!"
Arcus smiled as he looked at Adina, who smiled back as she got up."Alright. Pidgeot, so you know the fastest way out of this forest to get to Pallet Town?"
Nodding, Pidgeot flew ahead and spoke,"Follow me."
After following Pidgeot through the forest, the three Pokemon were soon out and they were also outside of Pallet Town. But what really caught their attention was that Professor Oak was standing at the entrance, waiting for them.
As they approached the town, Professor Oak waved at them when he spotted the three."Good to see you, Arcus!"
The Compassion Pokemon nodded,"It great to see you as well, Professor Oak. How's Pallet Town been since I've last been here?"
"Same old, same old." Oak said as he bent down,"Hello there, Ninetales. Arcus, is this one of your mate?"
Arcus nodded,"Yes, she is. Adina's my most recent one too."
Oak smiled,"I can tell that she already loves you a lot, Arcus. You're a lucky guy compare to other Pokemon males."
The Compassion Pokemon rolled his eyes amusingly,"I don't have to say much about that. But besides me visiting, guess who decided to return too."
The Professor looked behind of Arcus and smiled,"Pidgeot! You came back! Ash is going to be so happy when he sees you again! Arcus, how did you get Pidgeot to come back?"
Arcus replied,"I didn't really do anything. Pidgeot was the one who found me. He said that all the Pidgey and Pidgeotto that he had guarded have evolved into Pidgeot and have all left to find their new homes so Ash's Pidgeot decided to come home. So I decided that he should follow me even though he was the one who led us out of the forest."
Oak petted the Pidgeot's head and spoke,"Well, it was a good idea to follow Arcus. But you are always welcome back at my lab any time, Pidgeot. But now, it seems you'll be staying here for quite a long time. Arcus, let's head back to the lab. You can take a rest while I let Pidgeot meet Ash's Heracross and Snorlax. I have a feeling that you'll be surprised when you see who's waiting for you."
"I can't wait." Arcus smiled as he, Adina and Pidgeot followed Oak back to his lab.
Once they had reached the lab, Oak quickly took out a Pokeball and bumped it on Pidgeot's head, absorbing him."I've always kept a spare Pokeball just for Pidgeot in case he comes back." He looked back at Arcus and continued,"Make yourself at home. Someone's waiting for you in my living room. I'm sure you remember him in your first journey here in Kanto."
As Oak disappeared into the back of the lab where all the other Pokemon were at, Arcus and Adina made their way to the living room.
When they got their, Arcus stopped dead in his tracks as Adina bumped into him. She looked up at her mate and asked,"Arcus, is something wrong?" As she looked in front, she saw that Arcus was looking at a boy with spiky red hair and a purple t-shirt.
"Gary?" Arcus asked.
Gary looked at Arcus and smiled,"Well if it isn't the Legendary Pokemon himself. Welcome back to Pallet Town, Arcus. How are you, pal?"
Smiling, Arcus replied,"I'm doing well. And by the looks of you, I'm sure you've been busy training."
Nodding back, Gary spoke,"Yeah I have. I was busy training my Eevee while I was in Johto. I came back because Gramps told me that you were coming back to Pallet today so I managed to get a ride back here. So, how's little Ashy? I'm sure he's doing just as well as he has."
"You're right." Arcus replied."Ash has probably gotten his fourth badge by now but I'm not sure. What about you?"
Gary took out a Badge Case and replied,"I've gotten a few. But what's more interesting to me is that you've gotten quite a bit more popularity than the last time you were here." Then, he finally noticed the two Braces on Arcus's wrists and he asked,"Arcus, what are those?"
Arcus looked down at his wrists and Adina spoke,"I was wondering what those were for too."
The Compassion Pokemon smiled at Adina as he gave her forehead a small peck and said,"Well, that's mainly the reason why I came to see Oak. I was wondering if he could tell me more about them."
"Well..." Gary started."I'm not sure if Gramps has seen anything like those but I think we will find out when he comes back."
Speak of the devil, Professor Oak walked in,"I heard you say my name, Gary. Is there something wrong?"
Gary nodded,"Yes. Gramps, do you know anything about those things on Arcus's wrists?"
The professor made his way over to Arcus and examined the Braces. He smiled,"Well I must say, these stones interests me. What are they?"
"They're Mega Stones." Arcus replied."They're what Pokemon use to evolve even further than their final Evolution for a certain amount of time."
Oak spoke,"Fascinating. If only I have one of these. Than I can see if any of the Pokemon here can evolve. But why do you have that many?"
"I have them because they are my Mega Stones that will allow me to Mega Evolve into different versions of myself. But I have to evolve first before I can do that. Which also another one of my reasons for coming here. I was hoping that you can tell if I am going to evolve soon."
Shaking his head, Oak replied,"I'm so sorry, Arcus. I may be a professor, but I can't tell how long an Evolution takes. Evolution takes time and it's very unpredictable. No one can tell if a Pokemon is going to evolve or not except for Psyduck because its tail glows red to show that it's going to evolve."
Arcus sighed,"Thanks for telling me that, Oak. But I guess I have to suffer for a while now."
"Suffer?" Gary asked."What do you mean by that?"
The Compassion Pokemon looked up,"To tell you the truth, why I wanted to know how long my Evolution will take is because I want this nightmare of mine to end. It's been happening for quite some time now and it won't stop."
"Lust." Oak stated."I'm sure you're experiencing that because you are near your last Evolution. Arcus, have you visited Nurse Joy to get those Lust Pills of hers to calm you down?"
Arcus nodded,"Yes. But I somehow can't seem to find them. I remembered that I kept it with me but I've lost it. Not only that, I..." Before Arcus could continue, he vanished and Adina instantly stood up and looked around worriedly.
Oak turned when he heard a glass crack and gasped when he saw his window completely destroyed,"My window! What happened?!"
Arcus was tossed across the field outside of the lab and he crashed into a lake.
He quickly got out of the water,"Who did that?!"
A cackle filled the sky,"Ha! Ha! You should have seen your face when you took that dive! I can't believe that you are even able to do that!"
The Compassion Pokemon looked around and saw that the surrounding Pokemon were standing stiffly as if the whole world was frozen in place."What have you done to everyone?"
"I merely stop time so we can have this little talk of ours." The voice spoke as a shadow appeared in front of Arcus. It slowly emerged from the ground and formed a silhouette of a quadruped Pokemon. The legs were the first to form and the hind legs were different from the front legs. In fact, the hind legs were just like any other quadruped Pokemon would have, paws. While the front legs resembled those of any bird-like Pokemon with talons at the end of his front legs.
Its body started appearing in the color purple with a few pink stripes along its body before its wings appeared in a blaze of flaming purple as sparkles blew everywhere. The Pokemon's head soon appeared before its beak as pink coated its entire head and neck. It smiled,"Nice to meet you, Arcus. Let me introduce myself. I am Skyrus, your Flying Mega form!"
As Skyrus's wings flared out gracefully, he blew a Gust attack at Arcus, who was caught off guard and was thrown back into the water again. Skyrus laughed at Arcus's clumsiness and cackled,"If I'd known that you could be this easily fooled, I would have defeated you long ago! Poor Hydrus, he couldn't even take you out as easily as I will."
Skyrus started preparing a Hyper Beam and Arcus made a dash below Skyrus but was too late as Skyrus fired his attack at Arcus, knocking him off of the ground as the Flying Pokemon tackled him to the ground and placed one of his front paw on Arcus's chest, pinning him down."That was quick. Come on, Arcus. This isn't your best effort at all, isn't it?"
Just then, Arcus vanished and Skyrus was left surprised as he looked up to see that Arcus was above him with his hand behind him charging up his Thunder Punch attack.
Arcus soon came down but his Thunder Punch was avoided when Skyrus took to the skies with Arcus following him."Get back here, Skyrus! I'll show you what I can really do!"
Taking a turn, Skyrus smirked,"Oh? Does it involve you using attacks like what you did with Hydrus?"
"Even better." Arcus smiled. He reached out his hand and grabbed onto Skyrus's hind legs before slamming him to the ground.
Skyrus slowly got up as his beak started rotating faster every turn. Skyrus then flew towards Arcus, only to be avoided by the Compassion Pokemon."Impossible! How are you this fast?"
Arcus smiled,"I have training. Now, prepare to witness the Dancing Sparks!" As his Double Team came into effect, multiple copies of himself appeared around Skyrus.
"This...this is the same way you beat Hydrus!" Skyrus cried in realization.
"Good of you to finally notice." Arcus stated as he snapped his fingers.
Hearing the snap, the first copy of Arcus slammed his fists together and electricity cackled from his hands to surround his body as he charged at Skyrus, knocking the Flying Pokemon down and paralyzing him.
The second copy quickly ran up and placed his hands together, creating a electrical sphere and firing it at the sky. Soon, the sphere exploded and electrical beams rained down on Arcus and the rest of his copies, electrocuting them as they were covered by a electrical yellow aura.
Arcus fired a stream of electricity into the air and the tip of the electricity opens up and expanded, forming a net that captured Skyrus.
The Compassion Pokemon snapped his fingers again and his copies all blasted their Thunder attacks at Arcus.
Once the Thunder attacks collided with him, Arcus raised both his hands up as he created a Electro Ball in his right hand while his left hand started sparking as he prepared a Thunder Punch. Tossing the Electro Ball into the air, it fell and Arcus punched it with his Thunder Punch attack.
The sphere of energy crashed into the surprised Skyrus as he fell."I...I can't believe I fell for that. If only I was more observant...I could have won." As Arcus approached him, Skyrus looked up at him,"Arcus, you beat me fair and square. But don't expect your other Mega Evolution forms to be as easy as me or Hydrus. They are at a much higher level than us."
Arcus nodded as Skyrus was absorbed into the Flying Arcusite before Arcus's Sky Plate emerged from his body and was also absorbed into the Arcusite as well.
Time soon started returning to normal as the surrounding Pokemon all returned to their normal speed and Professor Oak, Gary and Adina made their way out of the lab."Arcus! What happened?!" Oak cried.
Arcus simply smiled,"It's alright now, Oak. I have it all under control." He showed his Brace and his Water and Flying Arcusites flashed, making the three confused at what he had said.
Outside of the field, two shadowed figures were observing them."Heatrus, it seems both Hydrus and Skyrus have been defeated by Arcus. How do you plan to defeat him now?"
Heatrus bowed,"I'm sorry that they have failed, Hesperus. I promise that I will be a much better fighter than them."
Hesperus raised his paw,"No. You won't go. But I'm sure Florus can handle this now. Am I right?"
Another figure appeared in a form of a snake and hissed,"Leave it to me. I will make Arcussss sssscream in agony when I beat him."
Laughing, Hesperus spoke,"I hope you can keep that confident of yours until you can prove your strength. Heatrus will help you tomorrow. I want Arcus to fill the power of the Fire type and Grass type wen combined. I hope you two won't fail me."
Both Heatrus and Florus nodded,"We won't."
A/N: Done! Sorry for the long wait! Please review as well.
