"Well, nobody other than Naeya can be involved in that kind of crazy thing. A projection of government workers tied to the cult for the entire city to see. We're able to see and hear everything from here in the normal type zone as well, so maybe the other closer zones to the city can see that. Wonder what the inspiration for this kind of thing was?"
"That would actually be so that me and sis can soon return to what we were supposed to be doing from the beginning. Sorry for interrupting you there Treiya. Everyone, this is Mai. She's my little sister. I'd like everyone to call her Maeya for now. Also, my original name is Nai."
For those like Treiya who actually studied enough to understand the meaning of those names together through the history lessons even on Xhova, it was a revelation to hear about the sisters being who they were.
"...how?"
Treiya was confused, but was ready for Nai and Mai to explain. Treiya and Juieh were getting ready to finish up in the normal zone before evening, and their morning was interrupted by the panic of the big event in the city caused by Nai and Mai.
"How to what is something that I might say if I wasn't planning on telling you all what was going on, but for now, let's go get some privacy so I can explain the situation with us."
After Nai told them they should find somewhere they could talk in private, the group headed to the forest within the zone and Nai set up a barrier around them so Pokemon and even cult attackers wouldn't be able to interrupt the meeting. Aegislash and Greninja finally returned to Nai, cuddling against her after she separated from them since the period when she went to the interrogation. She left all of her team with Yuuka so that someone was taking care of them while she was doing work. Yuuka was also included in the meeting so that she would know the situation.
"Alright now...Time for me to explain. So I'll start with the very beginning and make sure that my friends from Xhova know the basic history of Raenue, the name this region originally had but was lost in time."
Treiya nodded her head, Juieh was surprised by Nai knowing the original name of the region and Yuuka was confused.
"Um...why would we need to know the basic history lessons about the country?"
"So I can tell you the differences those who wrote our history lessons had from reality."
Yuuka nodded and sighed. She was growing about as tired of the drama surrounding the group ~~~~~ was, but she couldn't deny that they were her friends and she couldn't just leave them alone like ~~~~~. She almost envied them.
"Alright then, Now, we'll start with my personal history so you know who you grew up with better. My original name, given to me by my birth mother Raenue, is Nai. She created me out of her loneliness and many other similar to me, but she created different children in different regions to be their guardian deities. Many people now know them to be the legendary Pokemon of the regions. Such as Kyogre Groudon and Rayquaza of the Hoenn region, Rezekyu of Unova which was later split to Reshiram Zekrom and Kyurem, Articuno Zapdos and Moltres of Kanto and so on. Myself as her original child wasn't given a place to protect unlike the others, as she created myself in her image. She even created Arceus Giratina Palkia and Dialga of the Sinnoh region, so she predates even the Pokemon which is commonly mislabelled the creator of the world. She did that."
During a brief pause in between Nai describing that, even Mai had become absorbed in learning a little more about the history of the world, not just Nai. They had learned a lot together, but it had been so long since Mai explored the world in favour of the comfort of their underground castle. Treiya was focused, trying to remember as much as possible so that she could possibly teach the true history some time in the future if she ever had the chance. Yuuka was baffled, and Juieh was still confused.
"For a few million years after mother created me, she kept me around her until she became more interested in watching what my other siblings were doing in their regions. During the beginning of her watching the others, I started clumsily doing the same, wandering the lands created by her other children. I didn't have full control over my abilities, and after a tumble down mount Coronet, my energy split off another life from myself, my first creation of life, Mai who is sitting here with us. Mai and I travelled the regions together, and she helped me with remembering things when my early clumsiness gave me amnesia from hitting my head. She journeyed with me and helped me over time become more steady on my feet so to say, but floating around was quite difficult back in the day. Now it's easier than walking. After a while of us exploring the other lands and meeting the Pokemon and people who resulted of our siblings playing around, Mai and I decided to make our own home region, which we built up from an underwater volcano which is now the mountain just short of the northern most part of the region. I created the many Heatran of the world during this time, to help promote the volcanic action and strengthened the Heatran of this region particularly more so that we could get a good basing for the growth of the land. About eight hundred thousand years of forming the region through Heatran's work, and we arrive at a time where Mai and I started working on the underground part of the region at the same time as providing forested area. This area would be included in what once was a swamp, but hundreds of years went into turning this area underground into a stable mass of mineral capable of withstanding contact with water without breaking down. Raenue is the only region which has as much space in the underground section of the region as the above ground. When we were finally satisfied with the land we built, we had fun. We created species of Pokemon which were unique to our land, imported Pokemon species from other lands to share with our siblings so that we could have a large variety of friends here, and finally, added humans to our land's population. Personally, Mai and myself were unable to communicate well with the Pokemon of other regions because of our energy being too powerful for them to handle, so the Pokemon here for a very long time were like Aegislash and Greninja, powerful and aggressive toward humans. The addition of the human population promoted that we work with the many species of our land to become friendly with each other, which eventually led the people to looking for a leader. Unlike the other leaders of regions, I was particularly fond of becoming friends with the humans and Pokemon of our region, which led to Mai and myself creating the earlier transformations of ourselves known as the founding royal family of the region. For hundreds of years we led the people, and unfortunately this brought out a side of Mai that I never expected. During this time, she created Vescalla, an embodiment of her resentment of the human population who she preferred not interacting with at all. I created Vell, a protector capable of holding Vescalla back and reminding Mai that we are meant to be friends with our people, not tyrants like leaders who were showing up in other parts of the world at the time. A time when Mai was particularly perturbed at the state with other regions having their great wars, she raised the question of why we weren't involving our region with theirs. I refused to join the needless violence, which earned a little fit which had Vescalla strike me hard enough to give me amnesia once again. This time, I was dazed for a time, and floated to Kalos through the confusion. There, I landed in the Pokemon league headquarters where Navella, the mother you witnessed me to have, found me and she and her husband decided to raise me after realizing they couldn't find my parents. During my fall into the Pokemon league there, I lost my memory again, which led to my confusion of never having been who I was. From the confusion, my body naturally continued to transform using the contact with the human parents who raised me again, bringing this version of myself you know. Knowing this while I and Mai are in fact white and black pelt Mew according to modern research through Pokedex, our pelt colours should not exist. More of our species have shown in other regions through things such as Arceus trying to use our unique ability to create copies of us, creating the common Mew of the world."
Nai took another break, and even Mai was surprised at the result of what happened with her tantrum with Vescalla. Everyone was surprised, Treiya more with how Nai was able to explain so much without taking a break in between.
"Now with the events that are occurring from a cult forming around Mai's intention to bring me back to this land, the cult and other people who are tied to it are more into the idea of becoming the tyrants of old and enslaving the humans and Pokemon of the region. Those who were never open minded enough to become friends with Pokemon and reach for strength together. Those people who are too self centred to consider the lives of the others around them as anything other than an obstacle. Those are the kind of people we are dealing with, and so now this region full of capable trainers are fighting against the humans with atrocious mentality. When Mai and I have finished our experience of the zone challenge league which formed here, we will reveal ourselves as who we were and do what we were originally meant to do, lead the region in a peaceful and friendly way which will continue the traditions which have formed in the world over time."
Nai finally finished explaining, skipping plenty of the finer details of the history, but it was enough that Treiya seemed she understood. Mai nodded her head in agreement. She preferred the idea of working with Nai than having the before issue arise again. Nai disappearing again. Mai had plenty of time to grow, and now she had a better mind about herself than before. Yuuka was looking around in disbelief to see if anyone believed it. Juieh was still confused.
"So, you're really a super ancient Pokemon?"
Nai frowned.
"I prefer to call myself ageless instead of old, thank you very much. I've been around far too long to put a number on how long I've been alive. Mai is the same as well. We aren't fond of being called old."
Juieh sighed and asked another question.
"So, then it makes it really weird with me considering you my sister since you already have a sister...who came from your energy which would biologically make her your daughter...I'm probably thinking in a totally messed up order and...oh boy."
"I'll explain it in a way you'll understand later, Juieh. For now at least I feel I understand. Nai is one of the origin ancestors to the entire world, a super Pokemon beyond the capability of even legendary Pokemon. Mai was created from Nai's energy so she should be about as capable as Nai...I don't understand how you can't just manipulate all of the cultists to put themselves in jail, maybe your morality. Otherwise, it's really interesting to know that originally the region might only be maybe around the size of Xhova at this time without your work on expanding it. I am curious on if Heatran is still living in the volcano..."
"Yes, Heatran is still there, enjoying the heat and passing the days sleeping peacefully. Heatran has a cavern sealed off from others so she hasn't had company in a long time. Sometimes I visit her and enjoy the warmth a bit."
Mai finally spoke up when she answered the bit about Heatran.
"That's interesting too. At least Heatran doesn't have the risk of trainers going around trying to capture her. That would be very annoying. Plus she's only resting. I am curious about finer details, but we don't need to have everything explained in one day. I would like to bring something else up with Naeya-er, Nai. If it's okay with you Juieh..."
Juieh immediately became flustered. Mai held Nai back from having her energy find what they were talking about, but it didn't matter. Nai waited patiently. It seemed that certain situation changed how Nai reacted and chose to act about things such as with the people from Xhova.
Juieh decided to be the one to tell Nai, blushing hard as she whispered the words. While Nai and Mai were able to hear what she said, Yuuka didn't hear and didn't understand the mood enough to practice keeping her mouth shut.
"I can't believe you're so quiet. Lately you've been really talkative."
"Ah geez Yuuka! Fine! Me and Treiya started dating! We've already kissed and everything! You're such a jerk Yuuka!"
Juieh got to her feet as she shouted at Yuuka for her lack of sensitivity. Juieh blurting it out certainly got everyone's attention, enough that it made Treiya embarrassed.
"N-not...everything. Don't say something like that...the most we've done is kiss and sleep beside each other in our sleeping bags. Again, not everything..."
Treiya was beat red as she explained in more detail the degree of how much the relationship had progressed. Eventually the embarrassment pushed her to speaking more quietly as well.
Nai smiled and giggled a little at them.
"You're really cute together. It's a little funny considering how everyone was before. I'm really glad Treiya used suggestive energy on herself to change her mind so much."
Treiya's embarrassed expression dropped and she stared at Nai with a questioning expression on her face. Treiya's stare was powerful like she was trying to use a Pokemon ability.
"What do you mean by suggestive energy?"
"Ah, because you all were exposed to my energy for as much time as you were, you should be able to subconsciously use some energies that Pokemon can use. Treiya used the same suggestive energy that would equate to the amnesia technique some psychic types can use. The way you used the technique was through your sleep as I recall, feeling a desperation to change yourself so that you wouldn't have to worry about running into people who would recognize you. This led to your dream fuelled by the energy which has still been reworking your mind to convince you that the dream was how you really lived your life. While that can be confusing, it does work wonders. It's dangerous to have the energy doing the same thing for too long, so I'll remove the effect of it continuing to dry out your physical energy. Your mind is stuck the way it has become, so no worries on returning to how you were. Just know that being a little more determined might allow you to use these techniques."
Nai removed the conduction of the energy, which immediately showed in Treiya becoming more loose and full of physical energy.
"So...we can do things like using the flamethrower techniques if we're determined enough?"
"Ah, generative abilities maybe not so much unless with the reference to flamethrower you're doing something like an ember instead. Humans technically don't have the energy in their bodies to use generative techniques like flamethrower or water pulse. Something more like as already said like embers or bubbles or leaves would be more realistic. Unless you would like a little more energy added to you? I wouldn't be able to do as much as I have for Xhasca and Xharye, not unless we gave my body some time to reproduce energy to give between each of you. Enough that I wouldn't need to recharge would give you the ability to use average Pokemon techniques depending on how knowledgeable you are of the techniques."
Mai seemed concerned that Nai was offering to give so much energy so soon after giving to Xharye and then doing the whole broadcast over the city not long before the conversation, but then she could tell the energy was far more than bountiful enough to share. The energy around Nai at the moment half of it was more than three times the energy Mai had with her at strongest. Nai's energy level had become frightening.
"That...are you sure about doing something like that Nai?"
Treiya was the person to ask the question. She seemed greatly relieved after the use of her energy stopped. However it also meant that she was thinking even more than before when she asked the question she did of Nai.
"Oh, it's definitely fine. I'd only be giving enough that all three of you would have about a third of what I gave Xhasca and Xharye. In case you were wondering the difference in amount, the full amount I gave to them changes their base form to that of a Mew with their pelt colour the same as their favourite. They can still transform back to their human forms because their human genetics are a physical part of their being regardless of Mew being their base form or not. It does simply become a transformation however. The difference in what I would give the rest of you on the current offered amount is that you would be able to learn and use nearly any technique other Pokemon can use. This way you don't need to struggle with getting your Pokemon from their devices to protect you from dangers which can happen on the journey. I would feel better giving you the ability to protect yourselves instead of needing to depend on your Pokemon. A secondary effect is that the energy will expand on how long you'll be able to live. Your bodies will age slowly. A full dose would render you immortal and ageless. The full dose is restricted to...the time between recharging is roughly three hours, so by sundown I could have our whole group as the same origin species. I'm personally in favour of all of us being able to continue on together into the future, however, I leave the decisions to you."
Yuuka had a question on her mind.
"If we ask for as you call it the full dose...will that give us the same ability you have of being able to heal any injury as long as the one receiving care hasn't passed on? If that's the case, then I would like to accept that...so that I can heal people and Pokemon the same way as you, Nai."
Nai frowned in immediate response.
"There's a little more than just having the right energy and enough of it to heal those injuries. The real trick is knowing what to do with the energy. You would need to know in detail what the inner workings of your patients are like. I would only recommend my method of healing to one who has studied genetics and body structure for many years...but I could transfer my knowledge of that to you as well. I would need to wait until my energy is completely full though, so that should be fine to do tomorrow if you are the first to receive energy."
Yuuka looked to Treiya and Juieh as if asking their permission.
"I'm fine with you going first since your intention is to keep on healing people and Pokemon like super doctor Nai. Heck, she might teach you how to do the force transform trick like Ditto can do as well. Her version is a lot less creepy and disgusting though."
Treiya's opinion was about what Nai had come to expect from the new personality which formed inside of her. She smiled and continued to wait for further decisions between them. Juieh still seemed confused, but she was also thinking hard about something. Nai felt the urge to pry at those thoughts, but she held back since it was people she grew up with. She had a feeling what the thoughts were about either way.
"Um...since...Treiya and I are completely female...we won't be able to have kids. If one or both of us takes the opportunity to have the full dose as you called it, we would be able to transform physically to a point that we would be able to have children together right?"
Nai giggled and nodded her head in response.
"Yes. Actually, the amount of energy both of you have right now is about right that you could transform your bodies to form...well, what you used to have, but I recommend against confusing your mental genders with your physical properties. I could teach you how to transform as well. The risk would be, if a pregnancy begins, the only forms which would maintain the pregnancy would be female forms or your Mew form. This also means that only one of you can be pregnant at a time. Unless you each play around enough...never mind. The deeper meaning is that if children is the aim, and you both want to carry, the only option is to add the male section to your bodies as they are, and when the pregnancies have begun, you could remove them, whatever you like. This will however require a very sober mind to do, and a very knowledgeable mind. Would you like me to do that for you first?"
Mai was laughing hard enough to bring tears to her eyes as Nai explained the...intricacies of creating a child between two female bodies which can transform. Juieh and Treiya were beat red from hearing the explanation of what they needed if they intended to have children. Since Juieh was the one to ask the question, perhaps she was putting the suggestion out for Treiya, but neither of them was willing to talk about it more.
"I feel it's safe to assume all of you would like as I called it the full dose then. If you all agree, then we'll get started and since Yuuka expressed interest first, she'll get her dose first. Then the decision is up to the two of you on who will go next. Order really doesn't matter if you're all decided on the full dose though. The real question is on whether you would like further knowledge given to you. As it stands, giving all the medical knowledge of Pokemon and humans to Yuuka will need me at full power, meaning only after a full rest and sleep will provide the needed extra energy to supply her the knowledge. For something like techniques, while those can be learned over time just fine, there's the option of me passing those on. It wouldn't require as much energy, and I could give that tomorrow evening after recharging from giving to Yuuka's medical knowledge. Techniques wouldn't include the knowledge on transformations. While either me or Mai could offer the knowledge for transformation or techniques, we'll leave it to you who you would rather learn from. The medical knowledge will have to come from me since that requires frequently observing the inner workings of another life, which I did. For millions of years. My energy when I'm close to any Pokemon or person will scan and observe the fine details so that I can have a deep understanding of what the other life is made of. Mai and the rest of you won't have the ability for your energy to expand. Not unless Mom gives you the energy instead of me, which is impossible because only myself and Arceus can visit her at this point, having moved to another level of existence."
Everyone went from understanding, to staring at Nai in disbelief.
"I thought the reason you never introduced me to Mom was something else, but she's no longer in our dimension?"
"It isn't that she's no longer in our dimension, it's that she never was in our dimension. Only her first few have the energy to perceive her, and since I was her first, I am the most compatible in being able to see her. Arceus was the third, the only other one aside myself who can still perceive her. The other...well, that one no longer exists. Basically, she took that one back to her energy. Proof would be, I can show you my current vision, because she's watching this region right now way up in the sky, but without seeing through my eyes, you would never be able to see her. She's another Mew, the original life. I share her appearance completely, so you'd basically see another me. Not really much point in showing you since you'd only see another me. I can't even really talk to her much any more. It's been since millions of years even before Mai was born since she was last able to hear my words, or at least respond to me."
"So...you used to be from another dimension then? The dimension she's in?"
"Right...at some point...she just stopped paying attention to me in favour of the rest of the world which was flourishing. A world growing from the addition of the others she created to protect and grow regions. Whenever it was she stopped paying attention to me, I was with the rest of her children. I don't even mind. It's so much more satisfying to be with the rest of the results of my siblings and my own creations than to rely on the company of only Mom. She was great company, but like with many families, eventually the children leave home on their journeys to start their own story. Unfortunately for some, leaving home is a tragic event in life which encourages growth in a different way and perhaps the realization of what they really want and need from life."
Nai's words echoed through the minds of everyone. Because she had two tragic leaving home stories. One where she no longer existed to her parent figure, and the other as returning home to a massacred family of many she loved. Not once but twice. It brought Yuuka and Juieh to tears, it had Mai deep in thought about how she had been for so long, and Treiya was on the verge of crying, trying to hold herself back from reaching out in aim to comfort Nai.
"Ah, stop with all the pouting faces and tears. I've experienced so much life and my mind is filled with so much now that I hardly feel tragic about any of my experiences. It's depressing in that sense, but I'm perfectly fine. I'm more concerned that I might have reopened the fresh wound for you, but those expressions and pitying expressions are only making me feel sour and guilty for bringing it up. The point is, that a tragic beginning can sometimes pull together a particularly strong trainer or life. I think I turned out alright. I know all of you will as well. It was iffy before Treiya made her change, but now I'm certain you'll all become great. You know, you're all a great family for this timeless sister of yours. Mai, Yuuka, Juieh and Treiya. You're all incredibly important to me now. I have someone I'm in love with, as you all know. Xharye would obviously count as another sibling in this crazy great family. Because she's the sister of the one I'm in love with. I love all of you. Family deserve love. Family are the people you love whether you're born into life with them, or you surround yourself with them. Blood isn't nearly as important as the bonds."
With those words, it was a different energy in the air, and different tears and expressions on everyone's faces. Mai joined in crying, a happy loving smile on her face which everyone wore. It confirmed to Nai that she indeed gathered a great family to continue life with.
