Sky
The light inside this hut was limited. In fact the only light came from a hole in the center of the roof. From my knowledge of star readers they sat in the center of their huts and looked up and read the stars. That's all I know. In the dim light I saw Naiti in a corner. He slowly walked over to us. "Spark," he said, "You were supposed to come later."
"I know," answered Spark, "But we got tired waiting."
"Listen old man," growled Rein, stepping forward, "Tell us what you know right now."
"Calm down Rein," I said, "Don't scare the old guy."
Naiti settled his old dark blue eyes on each of us. After about a minute of silence he said, "The Purity Organization. They have stolen your sister correct?" His eyes were on Fang at that point.
Fang jumped, his eyes wide, "How? How did you know that?"
"He's a star reader," reminded Kyle, "They can see everything in the stars."
"Not everything," spoke Naiti in the same wise voice, "I only see what I am supposed to see." He slowly lifted up a white wing, like it took all the effort in the world. He pointed it to Kyle, Sophie and Luke. "You three must leave for this information is for them alone."
"But-" began Sophie but a look from Kyle stopped her. I watched the three of them leave the hut before turning back to Naiti.
Naiti walked slowly to the center of the hut and looked up into the night sky dotted with stars. "The Purity Organization wants to revive the God Pokemon Arceus-"
"We know that," snapped Rein, "Tell us something we don't know!"
"Rein," I warned, "Let the guy finish."
"Thank you Sky," spoke Naiti, his eyes still locked on the stars above. I found it really weird that he knew my name but I accepted it quickly. This guy was a star reader after all. "To bring Arceus into our time many factors must be present. The first, are the three beings."
"Three beings?" asked Spark.
"Yes. They are Uxie, Mespirt and Azelf."
"We saw Uxie!" exclaimed Fang, "At that Purity Organization factory we went to! Remember Spark?"
Spark nodded in agreement, "The plate in front of the tube it was in said it was Uxie."
"Then Mespirit and Azelf are soon to follow," said Naiti, tearing his eyes from the sky. He stared at the ground now, his eyes filled with concern. "Anyway. Let me continue. The three items are needed as well. Each item represents one of them. The sword Kusanagi is connected to Azelf, the being of the future. The necklace Yasakani is conneted with Mespirt being of the present. And finally the mirror…" He paused to watch Spark. The Pachirisu was gripping the mirror tightly, afraid what he would say. "the mirror Yata is connected to Uxie, being of the past."
"No way," whispered Spark, "This mirror is Uxie's?"
Naiti shook his head, "Rein. Sky. You two will one day in the near future find the other two for it was always your fate to."
"What are you talking about?" I asked. Naiti was crazy. Rein and I were supposed to find a sword and necklace?
"Don't worry," continued Naiti, "It will happen because it was destined to happen. You three have odd powers correct? Spark can extend her tail spikes, Rein can extend his claws and Sky can extend his hand spikes." I hate to admit it but the guy hit it right on the money. "It might be hard to understand but the three of you were destined to be born the way you are. Each of you is a representation of the item you are to find. Your lives are shaped so you will represent each. Let's use Spark for an example since she is the only one with an item right now." Spark stood there, waiting for Naiti to continue. "Spark. Your item is the mirror, which makes you connected to Uxie. Uxie is the being of the past so I would say you are caught up on the past, or you don't know your past and you want to find out correct?"
Spark's eyes widen and she backed up a step, "How? How could you know that I want to know who my parents are?"
I was surprised. What he said made perfect sense but it was still hard to swallow. Rein, Spark and I were supposed to find three items because our fate told us to?
"That is not all," said Naiti, "The three items can only be used by you three. The Purity Organization is interested in you because without you three the items can't be used to summon Arceus."
Great. That makes our life even better. The Purity Organization was after us because we were the only Pokemon in the whole damn world who could use three items. Arceus! Could our life get any worse?
"What about me?" asked Fang, stepping forward. I'll admit, I totatlly forgot Fang was even in the room.
"Your sister was never the target of their attack," spoke Naiti, "It was you they were after." He was silent for a minute to let it sink in, "Since you weren't at the house, they took your sister instead. Why? It is because not only are the physic trio are needed. The beings of time and space are needed. Dialga and Palkia."
I froze, remembering my sister. She had said the Purity Organization had injected her with the power of Palkia. What did it mean?
"So?" asked Fang, "What does it have to do with me?"
"Fang. You can't use Pokemon moves correct?"
Fang was taken aback but he nodded.
"The reason for that is that you and your sister are related to Dialga."
Okay that through me in for a loop. Fang was related to Dialga? How the heck was that even remotely possible? It was even more unbelievable than us having to collet stuff. I glanced over at Fang. He was too shocked to speak. I guess he was realizing he was like Senri.
"How can I be?" asked Fang, "How is that possible?"
"Dialga and Palkia do not live in our world," spoke Naiti, "They live in their own dimension. Palkia did not mate with a Pokemon from this side but Dialga did. Of course the Purity Organization wasn't around during that time so they were safe. However Fang you were the unlucky one. Being born in this time and age."
I felt sorry for the guy. I mean our lives sucked but we didn't get our relatives dragged into this mess. Okay, maybe the Bandit Camp was my fault. Maybe they knew what I was. I don't know. "You okay Fang?"
Fang nodded numbly, "I think I'll wait outside."
We watched him go before turning back to Naiti. "Anything else you want to tell us?" snapped Rein.
Naiti sighed, "Only one more thing." He looked each of us in the eye, "Be careful. The three of you. You must get the items and protect them with your life. That is all. Goodbye." Naiti closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Hey!" roared Rein running over to him and grabbing the Xatu, "Don't fall asleep on…" Rein fell silent as he lifted up his paw that he had grabbed the Xatu with. It was covered in blood.
I looked around the hut and saw a small hole in one of the furs. "Oh shit!" I growled, extending my spikes. Spark and Rein quickly followed suit. We ran outside the hut and saw a battle taking place. Pokemon wearing bands against the rebels.
"Sky," whispered Rein to me, "Can you fight?"
I suddenly remembered that I was injured. Stabbed by my own sister but this was no time for self pity. "I can."
"Good," smiled Rein before getting serious, "I'll help our two lovebirds. Spark, you find the kid. Sky. Go after your cousin."
The two of us nodded before racing into the sea of fighting Pokemon, the knowledge we now had pressed heavily on our shoulders.
