Final fight!
Shadow opened his eyes. The first thing he payed attention to was that Darkrai had joined the commanders in fighting Whitetail and Mighty, the next thing he payed attention to was that Giratina flew past him and attacked Darkrai.
"Take this!" Whitetail yelled and threw herself at Dusk, who was knocked to the side. Mighty had grabbed Spirit, who tried to struggle free as the mightyena launched several Shadow Balls at him. Suddenly Shadow found himself face to face with Marionette.
"Oh, you're joining this fight too?" she smirked. "Take this!" She used a Shadow Claw against Shadow, who avoided it, when he suddenly came to think of Aura. What was she doing right now?
"I really see no one has been tidying this place while I was gone." Arceus muttered as she searched through a book shelf for paper. "Someone must have stolen all my papers!" Aura stood in the corner, looking at the Alpha Pokémon, while wishing she had came up with a better excuse.
Shadow was knocked to the ground by a Shadow Ball, used by Marionette. She smirked and jumped onto him.
"Haha! You're lost, boy!" she said. Right then, however, an even bigger Shadow Claw than her own hit her and knocked her to the ground.
"Don't you touch Shadow!" Giratina hissed furiously, preparing to attack Marionette once again. Shadow let out a sigh of relief that Giratina wasn't being controlled by Darkrai again. Then he got up and used Thunder against Darkrai, who was attacking Whitetail.
"Ouch!" Darkrai yelled as he was hit by the attack. He quickly turned around, staring back at Shadow with an evil gaze. "You'll pay for that one!" Then he attacked Shadow with Dark Pulse.
"Yes! I found paper!" Arceus yelled and handed Aura a very old piece of paper. And when I say old, I mean OLD! "Now, do you have a pen?" Aura shook her head. Arceus sighed and returned to the book shelf.
Shadow avoided the attack, but Darkrai was faster and used another Dark Pulse, which this time hit Shadow. He was flung into the air by the power of the attack, and landed on Arceus' throne. Before he got any time to recover, Darkrai hit him with a Shadow Ball.
"We have to help him!" Whitetail yelled and was about to rush into the battle, but Mighty grabbed her tail and stopped her.
"No, Whitetail!" he hissed. "This is Shadow's battle!"
"But he'll lose!" Whitetail yelled.
"I haven't lost quite yet!" Shadow yelled as he avoided another of Darkrai's Shadow Balls. "I'm still in for the challenge!" Whitetail growled.
"He's so brave... Wait a minute! Brave! There we go! This girl's got an idea!" She took the Jewel of True Courage which was hanging around her neck and was about to throw it.
"What are you doing?" Mighty yelled. "That's yours!"
"Shadow's a lot braver than me." Whitetail said calmly, before throwing the jewel towards Shadow. "Shadow! Catch!" Shadow quickly caught the jewel. It started glowing as soon as it touched his finger.
"Release the powers of Creation!" Shadow yelled, remembering what Aura had said when she used her jewel. A bright silver light surrounded him, and he noticed everyone stared at him with shocked looks. Then he noticed it himself. His hands were no longer a pikachu's. They were a human's hands. Then, for a moment, everything was silver-coloured once again, before the light disappeared.
"Wow!" Whitetail said in amazement. Shadow looked at himself. He was a pikachu again, and by his feet, the remains of the shattered jewel were laying. Shadow felt strangely... powerful. Darkrai stared at him.
"No! Don't you dare to..." he yelled as Shadow, starting to get aware of his new powers, surrounded his body in golden electricity. Then he charged towards Darkrai and hit him with full power. Darkrai was knocked to the ground, defeated.
"Wow! Volt Tackle! One of the rarest moves in existance!" Whitetail said. "Oh, I could have learned another awesome move if I had saved it..."
"Oh, don't complain." Giratina said. "You've already got Claws of Light and Darkness." The commanders looked stunned.
"Now were in for a combination move!" Whitetail yelled and charged towards the three, using Claws of Light and Darkness. Mighty and Shadow followed, using Shadow Ball and Volt Tackle. The three commanders let out screams of horror before hit by the combination.
"Well, looks like we won!" Mighty said. The commanders and Darkrai all four got up, looking rather stunned. Then Darkrai suddenly laughed.
"Well, well, well..." he said. "Looks like we got beaten up... But! Arceus doesn't know about my betrayal! So, if I run away now, she'll think Giratina just is trying to blame someone else..." He grabbed the three commanders. "Well, bye bye!" They all vanished. Giratina stared at the spot they had been standing on in horror.
"No way!" Giratina yelled. "Oh, Darkrai, you fool, I'll kill you! If Arceus doesn't kill me first..."
"Finally!" Arceus yelled and used Psychic to make a pen levitate over to the paper Aura was holding, and wrote her name on the paper. "Satisfied?"
"I guess so..." Aura said.
"Good. I'd better get going then..." Arceus said and started walking away.
"No! Wait!" Aura yelled and grabbed Arceus' leg. "I... I want an autograph for my boyfriend too..." she said quickly, realizing one lie always leads to another.
"Your boyfriend will have to be disappointed, then." Arceus said and started walking again, Aura still hanging on to her right back leg.
"Oh no. Now Arceus, out of everyone in this world, thinks I've got a boyfriend..." she muttered to herself.
