Gonna try going back to my roots of 3rd person writing/typing. This time around however I will be typing in a 3rd person specific, whenever you guys see just(Sierra) instead of (Sierra POV) then you'll know that I'll be typing in 3rd person specific. Side not to those confused by the sudden change of character naming.

Master: Ash

Mistress Hikari: Dawn

Mrs. Hikari: Dawn's Mom.

Chapter 35

Sierra's Tale. Part 1

(Sierra POV)

It was a spectacular and festive night on Christmas Eve. Outside the once green grass covered ground was covered in a light layer of white snow. Even then batteries of fresh snowflakes fall down from the heavens covering everything they possibly, can covering the environment in a winter's embrace. I'm starting to sound like a poet now so I'll act more like myself. What I'm trying to say is it really was the perfect weather for a warm cozy night next to the fire place with all your friends, family, and loved ones just their enjoying each-others company and celebrating the festive and merry atmosphere. Dilalga! I'm doing that again, anyways what I meant to say the whole time is that this is by all means the perfect Christmas Eve.

Master, Mistress Hikari, Mrs. Hikari, Grimlock, Sledge, Ripcore, Infernape, Torterra, Buizel, Gliscor, Gible, Mistress Hiakri's batch of Pokemon, and myself were gathered around the living room fireplace. The living room of the Hikari residence was actually attached to the kitchen making it just one big room. Infront of the fireplace where 3 couches one on either sides of it and one directly facing it, above said fireplace was a plasma T.V I didn't know how many inches it was though.

To the right were the windows and to the left was a shining Christmas tree adorned in those colorful stringy things along with candy canes, some random bells that don't even work, and lights running the outline of the leaves.

The tree itself without decoration was rather beautiful it was a Pine Tree off course and obviously small enough to fit in a house. That was basically it on the tree itself but I have to say I absolutely love the frosted effects at the tip of each leaf. Desmond and Kairi were off in the kitchen trying to finish their uneaten dinner of noodles, I was surprise that the two didn't give up on trying to figure out how to use chop sticks. No one really helped them due to the comicality of the situation and they were probably just as stubborn as Master was because they didn't give up. Oh well the two will give up sooner or later. K-bar being so fond of Kairi opted to stay there with her until dinner was finished for her atleast he was by far one of the most loyal beings I've ever met. He was in his Mightyena form but his other 3 brothers took the form of shiny Zoroarks.

Master and Mistress Hikari sat on the head couch with Master sitting the normal way and Mistress laying down head resting on his lap, the two had a red blanket draped over them both. Sasha was also curled up next to them aswell.

On the Window couch was all of the pokemon from Master's too Mistress Hikari's including Sledge and Ripcore. I still have no idea how Torterra even got in the house though, he just rested his head on the arm rest. On the last/3rd couch was Mrs. Hikari she was accompanied by Pikachu his mate Buneary and his kits. I was surprised they weren't Buneary Pikachu hybrids instead they were all either Pichus or Bunearys.

Strangely Grimlock and I were on the floor but we were sitting onto a blanket alteast. I had a mistletoe laced between one of my ears I personally like the scent of the flower Grimlock however just uses it as an excuse to steal kisses from me every now and then, but I wasn't complaining. I was sitting somewhat on Grimlock's lap but he was more laid down wrapping his furry body around me and I was just sitting slightly leaning back into his furry-warm side. He wrapped his head around me and rested it right next to my lap I couldn't help but to scratch his ears, I was rewarded with soft pleasurable growls. Dialga do I love him so much.

"I think it's safe to say that, that was and amazing dinner Mrs. Hikari." Master said stretching back onto the couch in a relaxive state, I swear if a single burb escapes that mouth of his…

"Who do we have to thank guys?" Mistress Hikari asked basically all the pokemon in the room. All the pokemon cried their thank you's in their respective names, Grimlock and friends however spoke human tongue and just said thank you.

But off course Grimlock being the giant version of Master let out a titanic belch of his own. The room erupted into laughter and I just gave him a light punch to the head, he knows how much I hate bad table manners.

"Well then now that, that is settled whatever show we do now?" Sledge asked.

"Well I don't know about you but I think I can do for a nice story." Came Grimlock. Everyone pondered on that for a second before agreeing.

"Yea a story sounds good."

"Mmhmm."

"We're gonna need a very long one though to last us until we all fall asleep right before Christmas." Mistress Hikari suggested. Master agreed kissing her cheek.

"So… anybody have any good stories?" Ripcore asked.

"Ohh since it is so popular right now I can tell you guys why I left you for 3 years." Master said whole heartedly but with a sarcastic tone. All his Pokmon agreed a little too enthusiastically.

Everybody else just following the herd mentality agreed aswell until Master's face formed his thinking face. It was really kinda undescribeable I guess you can say that technically he was placing a hand on his chin, with his pouting face he stared at the floor but the blank look in his eyes said that he was elsewhere.

"How about… Sierra?" he suddenly said his statement did catch me a little bit by surprise.

"Master?" Was my surprised reply.

"Well I just thought of you as one hell of a story teller considering you have 1,000 years worth of stories to tell." He said remarking on my age. I kind of wanted to say no but off course I'm bound by an oath.

"I'd be happy too Master it's not like I'm bound to an eternal oath to do everything you say or anything." I replied, that was the first time I ever tried sarcasm I wonder how it went…

"Oh Arceus that was horrible." Came an oh so nice and supportive Grimlock in my mind.

I wacked the back of his head, "Hey! Get out of my head!" I angrily shouted in my head, he quickly removed his connection and flashed me a wolfish grin licking my face.

"Well were should I begin?" I asked curiously.

"Well how about everyday before you became immortal?" Mistress Hikari suggested.

"Hmm…" I pondered, "Ok then." I finally said after a disappointingly short amount of pondering. Grimlock and I switched positions closer to the fireplace now looking at everybody else. Everybody Pokemon and Humas alike looked at me with curiosity.

"Well I might aswell start from the very beginning of it all I guess." I said, "It was… about 1,400 years ago." I started.

(Flash Back WOOooOOooOOoo)

(Sierra)

Thrusting ourselves into the eternal recess of time we find a young Riolu named Sierra running across a field with her best friend another Riolu named Lucas. The two have been inseparable best friends ever since they can even remember. Their families are apart of a Lucario colony nestled in the forests just Southwest of the now Eterna City. Unlike her present self, Sierra was not a shiny Riolu she didn't have the dormant genetic mutation in her whole family in other words she was not a shiny Pokemon and there is no possible way she could ever be one.

"Come on Lucas we're you taking me?" Sierra her friend, she was jumping along the treetops and branches while her friend ran along the forest floor beneath her.

"It's a surprise Sierra come on." He cried back. Obviously Lucas was the one leading the way. The two ran at unnaturally rapid speeds across the forest.

"I swear if this is another random odd colored boulder in another random cave I'm going to strangle him." Sierra thought half hopefully and half angrily contradictory to her normal gentle peaceful self.

They ran on dashing through the forest for the next 40 minutes or so, during which time they passed a multitude of pokemon both Carnivores and Herbivores, the Herbivores waved a friendly wave, and the carnivores tried to kill and eat them. But it was ok to all of them because it was basically the law of nature and no Wild Pokemon ever really holds any grudges against those who: try to kill them, try to kill their friends, try to kill their friends and them, and or actually killing their friends. You can't really hold a grudge if you're dead.

Eventually the two reached the mouth of guess what? A RANDOM CAVE!

"LUCAS! I swear to all that is holly if this is another RANDOM BOULDER!" Sierra yelled obviously angered and frustrated at the sight of a sight she had grown all too familiar with, a.k.a a cave.

Sierra looked over to her friend with a look on her face that can only be described as a murder face. She raised her outstretched arms at him clenching them into a strangling position. Lucas had a bloody murder look on his face stretching his arms out in a rather pitiful attempt to stop her, Sierra took a step forwards he took a step back it continued until the Riolu had the other Riolu pinned against the cave wall.

"Sierra! Please, I swear it is not another colored boulder this time!" He pleaded for his life, in contradiction to normal childhood death-threats Sierra will actually strangle him if she pisses her off enough.

"By the way why is he so interested in boulders anyways? Arceus they're just dam rocks!" Sierra thought to herself.

"Then what is it?" Sierra flashed a sinister smile literally trembling trying to keep her temper in check.

"I said before it's a surprise, I would be happy to show you it if you don't kill me first." He replied growing a tad bit braver. Sierra released her grips on his neck and bid him on still in that sinister loud whispery voice and starting to stop her trembling.

Lucas carried on with caution he actually did find a bright yellow boulder in this cave and is taking great care to not stroll by it. The two Riolus journeyed deeper into the cave along the way Sierra had to conjure up an aura sphere to light the way. It was nothing special really, really it was rather disappointing… the sphere was around the size of a tennis ball and glowed a dark not so bright blue. Sierra had never been really good at manipulating her aura in her early days, but her reject aura sphere was enough for now.

Walking through the caverns of which the cave consisted off the two Rioulus finally reached a dead end. But it wasn't really a dead end more so of a breakaway going straight down into a black abyss otherwise known as a cliff inside a cave a cave-cliff.

"This is your surprise?" Sierra spat glaring at her friend, "A cliff-cave?!" She almost shouted, HAH you see! She used what the stalker cam said in her own words, she is self-aware of it!

He gave her a blank stare as if whining I was getting to that!

"No Sierra the secret is actually down this hole." Lucas said Sierra gave a dumb founded face, "See the black nothingness there? Those are actually leaves, the last time I left here I took the liberty of painting them black, just jump down for your surprise." He said a little bit too calmly.

Sierra wanted to say how the heck did you get paint? But there was much better things to say, "… What the heck… is wrong with you?" She finally said a little bit scared now," Are you actually asking me to jump down this bottomless abyss?" She asked as if to confirm to herself that he didn't say that, it was just wishful thinking but she wanted to think that, that is true.

Lucas placed a hand on his cheek looking down at the ground, "Hmm… I knew you wouldn't believe me." He said sadly, "Oh well you don't have to come down if you don't want to- TO LATE!" He yelled locking Sierra's head with his arms and jumped down the bottomless abyss.

"LUCAS!" She yelled freefalling down the black hole, her aura sphere couldn't follow her so she was free falling possibly to her death in pitch black conditions really one of the worst nightmarish scenarios you can ever experience.

Sierra remembered hitting something solid but relatively soft after 10 seconds of freefalling. She landed on her hand and once upon impact everything went black

(Break in flashback continuum.)

Almost everybody in the room gasped when Sierra told them she had blacked out.

"Oh my Arceus did you live?!" Grimlock out of all Pokemon asked surprisingly genuinely, Sierra gave him a pout.

"No Grimlock, I died a cold horrible death." That was the second time she tried sarcasm again it worked much better this time.

"I just wanted to know maybe Dialga revived you with the duty of protecting the Ketchum family." He argued.

"… Are you seriously asking me this?" Sierra scolded him, "Come on Grimlock I'm in eternal servitude to Master's family did you really think that I got this job just like that?" She grew increasingly frustrated, Ash and Grimlock in particular noticed how cute she looked whenever she gets angry.

Sierra heaved a heavy sigh, "Continuing…" She sighed.

(Restoration and resuming of flash back continuum)

Sierra's eyes groggily opened to a rather bright light.

"Hmm… is this what the hall of legends look like? Cause I think I was falling to my death down a bottomless abyss the last time I checked." She thought sitting herself up. She sat upright slightly leaning back on her arms.

"Where am I?" She groggily asked the nothingness. She was currently sitting in what appeared to be a leaf/mud hut. Lucas came in through the leafy doors of the hut shocking Sierra.

He cracked a smirk at her surprise, "You should have trusted me Sierra." He cockily said.

She took the liberty of sleepily getting up walking all the way over to him just to deliver a smack to his face.

*Snacking sound*"Ow! Hey what was that for!" He was his response to his slapping.

"You could have used your aura vision to show me! Instead you just grabbed me and sent us both down that hole!" Sierra yelled/scolded him she was angry.

"Hey! I wasn't lying this place is real!" He retorted.

"Yea that doesn't give you the excuse to push me down here! You could have been trying to kill me for all I know!" She re-retorted, "Look you're right I should have trusted you more. But you can't just do things like that without telling me and expect me to not be mad!" She said. Her reasoning had obviously defeated Lucas's and he slunk back in defeat.

"I just wanted to show you this place Sierra." He said sadly, Sierra knew that he was faking that sadness however...

"Oh don't go all touchy-touchy on me Lucas." She said, "Now show me what you tried to show me by trying to kill me." She said. Sierra had taken the dominant role in this argument and Lucas being a good little boy obeyed her.

"Come on." He said grabbing her hand and leading her out of the hut. If you were there however you could have detected the ever so slightest blush appear on her cheek but it faded away into her blue fur just as fast as it had emerged.

He lead the Riolu out of the little leaf hut pushing past the hut door and beholding themselves to the golden beauty that awaited them.

"Oh my…" Sierra whispered completely awe struck by the sight. She was viewing what seemed to be a golden underground forest.

As far as her eyes can see she saw fields of wild blooming flowers even past that was an endless ocean of forest. The species of trees were unnatural to Sierra it didn't seem possible, she saw several coniferous and non-coniferous species the only difference that they had from the rest of the trees outside was that they bloomed flowers on their leaves. Their she was sitting admiring trees that couldn't grow flower grow beautiful red, pink, and blue flowers. There wasn't much wildlife however mostly insects and small insectavores. Bees, wasps, flies, and small birds flew by the two Riolus. The wildlife itself was different from their non-cave counterparts, the birds obviously having no natural predators spotted bright blue, red, green, and orange plumage which were layed out in the most spectacular of designs. It wasn't just the male birds that normally sported the attractive feathers but also female birds aswell, they all flew around flashing the entire cave world the magnificent colors.

"Little buggers are like flying blots of rainbows." Sierra thought.

The insects were brightly colored aswell, which suggested that a majority of them were poisonous and or venomous. Sierra didn't really pay much attention to them on part due to their natural defense and the fact that save for butterflies she didn't like the bugs in general. All this time the female Riolu stood there mouth slightly dropped down awe struck by the sheer beauty of the place that her friend had stumbled into and had shown her.

Lucas just gave light chuckle it his friend's expression, "You really should start trusting me more just look at this palce!" He said excitedly.

"The cave we entered was actually an auxiliary vent for a now extinct super volcano." Lucas smartly said clearly trying to impress her with his wims, "Although it's been dead for thousands of years magma still circulates much more common than other places below, perfect conditions for plants to grow. Both fauna and flora in this place has lived separate from the outside world for who knows how long, completely different and unique species have evolved here unknown to the rest of the world." He whispered growing awestruck himself.

Sierra tilted her head slightly up and found the reason for why all the plants seemed unnaturally good looking. Lucas was right this was an extinct volcano right at the roof of the hallow mountain was the hole were the lava would have come out of, Sierra never really did figure out what that was called. The shape of the exit hole funneled sunlight into its own little piece of paradise in the most particular way.

The sunlight cast this amazing golden glow onto all the plants adding this warm and brilliant feeling upon the sight of the already beautiful plants. The two stood there for what seemed like hours which just turned out to be a few short minutes. They didn't care though never in their entire lives have they seen a place so exotic, inspiring, hypnotizing,… beautiful, beauty is truly in the eye of the beholders but in this case the beholders have been paralyzed themselves by the special place.

Lucas shook his head snapping out of his trance a friendly grin appeared on his face, "Come on Sierra there is still so much more to this place." He shook his friend's shoulders. Sierra snapped out of her trance aswell looking at him with pleading eyes begging him to show her more of this place.

She gave him an agreeing nod and with that he took off bolting into the golden brush.

"Lucas!" Sierra yelled bolting in with him.

The two Riolu ran through the golden tall/thick grass moving through it with almost impossible agility and speed. Reaching the proverbial end line of the grass Sierra entered the lush forest emitting a glorious golden glow. For a split second she had lost sight of Lucas but soon found her friend again dashing through the trees. Running up along the branch Sierra grabbed onto a branch, swinging her body quite a distance to another completely separate branch on a separate tree she locked it with her legs swung under it and back up again jumping onto another branch yet again. Unlike her future master she was much more acrobatic and playful when tree running, jumping in between a V-shaped tree she ran up along the diagonal branches and jumped onto a another branch and from their fluently running through trees. Jumping from branch to branch she soon caught up with her friend but just as she was about to reach out and grab him they both reached a breakaway in the treeline. Lucas was expecting this and adapted accordingly jumping from the final branch tucking and rolling and sliding down the flowery hill infront of them, Sierra being not so prepared completely missed the jump and got her foot caught on a branch faceplanting the branch Lucas just jumped off of and then proceeded to violently tumble down the hill.

Even the hill couldn't stop her as she immediately rebounded and continued chasing her friend who had in that time gained a great lead on her. Using her extreme speed move she dashed across a field full of brightly colored flowers. Suddenly Lucas stopped as if to check if his best friend could have been left behind, that was a costly mistake.

"Yyyah!" Sierra yelled tackling Lucas apparently she had caught him by surprise. The force of impact sent them both tumbling together down another hill. They got jumbled up during the ride down but still managed to stay somewhat together/connected. Jerking up and down the two Riolus finally came to a stop, now they found themselves in a rather awkward situation. Obviously like anytime any television/book/movie character tumble together down a hill they find themselves in a sexually suggestive position with one pinning the other down to the ground. And the reality is still true in this situation Lucas was ontop pinning Sierra down to the ground as his body covered her, if any of their parents especially Sierra's father was their then the two would have gotten it good but obviously no adults were there.

Both of their faces lit up like a Christmas tree more so Lucas's face because he was the one with the crush on Sierra not vice versa, "I told you to follow me why did you start chasing me just to tackle me down a hill?!" Lucas asked quite nervously.

"Hey! You know me Lucas I do those kinds of things." Sierra retorted, "And can you please get off of me?" She ordered.

"O-oh y-yea." He said frantically rolling off of the Riolu and getting back to his feet. If he'd been quicker he could have relieved the awkward situation that ensued if he could have helped her up, but he didn't and thus the awkward silence prophesied is now in effect.

Lucas felt like the biggest idiot in the world just standing there as his friends looked around observing their surroundings. Sierra was quite oblivious to Lucas's crush on her/true feelings towards her. Oh well nothing like a childhood crush to spice up any relationship all Lucas has to do now is actually work on the starting a relationship part.

"Where were you leading me?" Sierra asked. Lucas stood there like an idiot staring at her for about 2 more seconds before reality finally set in.

"Oh yea…" He said, the two were at another on a grassy platform jutting out into a drop-off. Lucas walked over to the cliff-edge looking over the space bellow he motioned for Sierra to come over.

Walking over to the edge of the cliff and looking over her eyes widened in shock, they were at the top of a massive waterfall. The water which flowed out of an underground stream out of the cliff side below them poured into a lake down below. How the two didn't notice the sound of the water itself beforehand we will never know, probably distracted by the sudden close contact.

"This is one of my favorite spots here." Lucas said turning around and walking back in a straight line, "Since there is such an abundance of magma under here swimming in the spring water is like taking a deep in one of those heat pools up in the mountain range." Lucas said. Sierra vaguely remembered what her father told her about those heat pools, up in the mountains were temperatures easily drop to subzero degrees cold Pokemon would hop into thermo regulated pools to keep warm. To all Pokemon who have experienced it would compare it to that of a human hot-tub.

"Cannon ball!" Lucas yelled getting a running start and running at the cliff. Sierra nonchalantly took three step to the right of the charging Lucas who she could have sworn was trying to take her with him aswell as he had been doing a lot recently.

Leaping off the cliff he free fell for a second before plunging into the water creating a huge splash. The lake water was quite warm as of Lucas's prediction, the impact sent him about 30 feet under and it took the young Riolu quite a while to come back up again. Finally surfacing with another big splash Lucas squirted out a water gun from his mouth.

"Come on Sierra jump in!" He yelled to the Riolu atop the cliff.

"I don't think I'll be swimming, thank you very much!" She yelled down from that she gingerly made her way down the cliff. Jumping from a ledge about halfway down she impacted the ground tucking and rolling to reduce the force of impact.

"Well then, I think I'll just relax for a bit here Lucas." She said picking up a rather conveniently placed cocoanut off the ground and hunkering down under a palm tree of which the cocoanut dropped from.

Lucas still wanting to drag Sierra into the water with him devised a rather devious plan. Cleverly using his arm to mimic the appearance of some lakeside predator he made a big splash grabbing his own head and dove down to the bottom of the lake.

"Whoa!" He yelled being "dragged" down into the depths of the lake.

"Lucas!" Sierra cried in worry and fear that her best friend had suddenly been pulled under, "Lucas!?" She cried again running over to the lakeside and looking over into the opaque water.

"Lucas!" She desperately cried she was about to jump in there until something happened. With a surge of bubbles and white water Lucas jumped out of the water wrapping his arms around Sierra's neck like a Sandile snatching it's prey.

"Yah!" He yelled rolling on his back into the water pulling Sierra in aswell. They both made a huge splash as Lucas took Sierra under the water, only when he knew that she was completely under did he release his grip on her neck letting the Riolu bolt to the surface gasping for air.

Breaking the surface Sierra frantically looked around in panic gasping for air, parts of the fur ontop of her head hung over her eyes in a wet eye blanket. Lucas broke the surface shortly after, her surfaced only about 5 feet away squirting another watergun.

"LUCAS!" Sierra yelled in anger violently swimming towards him trying to get a hold of the Riolu. Said Riolu however just laughed and dove under reappearing were Sierra seconds before.

"Come on Sierra you need to lighten up" He argued.

"Oh you shut up!" She yelled angrily swimming back to the shore, "For Arceus's sake Lucas." She angrily said she didn't really have much to argue which made it that much funnier situation for her friend.

"Oh stop laughing." She said Lucas was laughing his ass off at the moment.

"I was just kidding Sierra, sheesh the next time I find a volcanic paradise I won't invite you to join me ok?" He said rather seriously but with a sarcastic wolfish look on his face. She looked away from him in anguish.

He knew she couldn't stay angry for long so he continued on, "Shall we head to another less wet place then?" He asked innocently. Sierra heaved a frustrated sigh and nodded her head, "So nice that you agreed." Lucas said motioning for Sierra to take the lead which she did.

"You and I are gonna have a talk about your habit of pulling me into every possible thing." She said trekking away from that lake and following her natural sense of curiosity to explore this place.

"Every possible thing?" Lucas asked rather confused by her choice of words.

"Yes, you pull me into the lake, you pull me down that entrance hole, you've been pulling me to random ass caves every other week just to see some random yellow colored boulder, ever since I could remember you have pulled me into the most random of things whether I agree to it or not." She said commandingly.

Lucas never did realize that, "Yea ok Sierra I can give you that…" He said defeated, "But 4 times out of 5 you actually enjoy all the things I pull you into." He retorted shaking the rest of the water out of his fur turning it into a puffy pillow.

Sierra soon realized how stupid their conversation has been and soon gave up with a sigh, "Yea you're right about that part Lucas. But you just don't know when to stop." She said, "Yea I love adventuring with you but sometimes I just don't want to and you rarely ever give me the chance to say no." She said softly climbing atop a blue vaguely diamond shaped boulder with two white sticks jutting out of the ground on either side of the boulder.

"Hey cool look at this boulder!" Lucas got completely distracted, it is unknown why the young Riolu has such a fascination/fetish with those large rocks.

"Lucas!"

"Ok, ok." The two immediately got back on point.

"You need to learn to accept a no." Sierra said softly, "Can you do that Lucas… please?" She asked. After a while Lucas reluctantly nodded.

"Ok I'll actually give you a choice whether or not to come with me next time ok?"

"Ok." Sierra confirmed smiling getting off the diamond shaped boulder with two sticks jutting out of either sides and walked up to Lucas, "Thank you Lucas, you know how much I value our friendship." She hugged him burying her snout in his furry neck she earned herself a rather heavy blush from Lucas but off course she couldn't see it.

The two shared a special ever fleeting moment, and soon much to Lucas's disappointment they had to break. But just as soon as they broke from each others embrace something strange begun to happen. The ground itself trembled, it trembled so much that Lucas and Sierra even had difficulty trying to balance themselves.

"Earthquake?" Sierra asked Lucas who had past proven himself to be the sciency guy.

"No." Lucas said it is unclear how he could even tell in the first plkace.

The two turned to the diamond shaped boulder which was shaking to a point beyond any other object in the environment, it shook to the point of vibrating.

"What the…" Lucas tried to say but trailed off at the sight before him.

The diamond shaped boulder uprooted itself from the ground shaking the earth to its will. The two white sticks next to it was apart of the structure itself. The boulder turned out to be a crest of some sort as a draconian head lifted out of the ground. It bellowed a mighty thundering deep roar that shook the fabrics of time itself. Lifting it's buried out of the ground the creature rose from the dirt breaking off what seemed to be years of rocks, vegetation, and small critters off of it. The sauropod like pokemon stood 17 feet above the ground in a quadrupedal stance, it's head was the shape of a diamond. It had silver horns jutting out the back of its head like horns, jutting out the front of its head like forward facing horns, and jutting down the bottom of its chin like sabered fangs.

The Pokemon had a steel colored triangular chest plate with a diamond center. On its back was a crested half circular wing like structure with bony membranous ends. Jutting out from its pillar like legs were metallic claws, going to its back was a rather short tale. The Pokemon was mostly dark blue in color with light sky blue streaks highlighting the basic outline of his body (legs, head, back etc.). (Insert silhouette of Dialga) So kids who's that Pokemon!

"Oh my… Dialga?!" Sierra said awe struck for about the 8th time now but this time around it is because of the legendary Pokemon that stood infront of her.

The King of Time keeled his head over on annoyance and sleepiness, "Oh for fucks sake! You little pricks can't even let me sleep in peace." Dialga complained which seemed extremely odd to our two Riolus.

"Do you little buggers have any idea when was last time that I actually got any sleep?" He turned angrily to them.

"N-no." Sierra replied fearfully.

"5,000 YEARS! 5,000 FUCKING YEARS!" He bellowed doing a poor man's roar of time which shook Sierra and Lucas onto the ground sitting on their rumps. Arceus this one was angry.

"I've been awake for 5,000 years straight!" He yelled, "Do you have any idea how long I've been asleep?" He asked scaringly calm and quiet.

"N-no." This time it was Lucas's turn to reply in fear.

"3 DAYS! 3 FUCKING DAYS! I'VE AWAKE FOR 5,000 YEARS STRAIGHT AND YOU'RE TELLINBG ME YOU REALLY WOKE ME AFTER 3 FUCKING DAYS!" He shrieked. He then went on a surprisingly angry rant about how he's gonna kill the two and how he's also gonna kill his brothers you know normal stuff.

After about 20 minutes of good ranting and what seemed like 3 hours of terror and torment for our 2 Riolus, Dialga finally stopped yelling took a very deep breath and finally calmed down.

"So now that I got the anger out of me why don't you two introduce yourselves? I assumed that will be the least you can do for waking me." He smiled in complete contradiction to how the Pokemon had been not 20 minutes ago.

"O-oh I-I'm Sierra a-and he's L-Lucas." Sierra took the liberty of introducing both her and her friend obviously she was very nervous.

"Hmm well it is pleasure to meet you sweetheart." He said being courteous doing a little bow for her, Sierra couldn't help but blush at the legendary Pokemon's treatment of her.

Suddenly his head bobbed up in a questioning glance, "Sierra?"

"Uh.. yes.."

"Sierra Alah'kar Ukriark, daughter of Richard Ukriark and Rose Alah'kar?" He asked ever so curiously, it frightened Sierra how a complete stranger could fully recite her full name and to an extent her own parents.

"Yes." She said.

"We at the hall of legends have been watching over you ever since your hatching." Dialga said, "Celebi sees great things in your future Sierra great enough to warrant the creation of prophecy around you." He said.

"Umm, thanks?" She was a shivering wreck right now, Lucas put a paw over her shoulder to comfort her.

Dialga grew rigid raising his head looking up in a grand feature he muttered something recognizable in normal tongue and his red slitted eyes changed into a glowing ghostly white. He recited.

The Lucarios of Sinnoh faces a bleak and decelent.

The daughter of Dialga shall rise above the rest, through pain misery and death she shall make a choice that determines the fate of her species.

She will face many challenges and dangers along her journey but never shall she face them alone.

She will have her faithful knight her guardian, her protector, her lover… faithful to the bitter end. She will also have the help of any of the kind of heart and a friendship she will create born of guilt, righteousness, and dutyship.

Whether she fails or not is determined by her, but in the end she will be left of broken heart and a debt forever unpaid

Dialga ended.

"Wait.. you're her father?!" Lucas was the first one to ask a question.

"Really I just told you this prophecy and that is your first question?" Dialga retorted, Lucas just slumped back with a pleading look.

"All Pokemon are our children, if you stumbled into Palkia's or Garitina's volcanic sanctuaries next door then they will address you as their children aswell." He said he looked over to Sierra to see if she was shell shocked by the prophecy.

"… You said my kind faces dark times ahead, what dark times?" Sierra finally asked.

"It is forbidden of me to give further insight into prophecies but I will tell you that you will learn soon enough." Dialga replied.

Sierra nodded, "Ok… I think that'll be it with me and the questions in a relevant term off course." She said obviously paying no heed to the part about her knight and his/her role, Lucas however was ever intrigued by that part of the prophecy.

"Hmm… very well I believe our time has finally run out." Dialga said preparing to dismiss the both, "I hope however that you will keep this… place a secret from the majority of your population. Such tranquility and beauty can only be achieved by isolation and I wish to keep it that way, isolated." Dialga said.

"Yes sir." Sierra.

"Very well until we meet again Sierra." He said with a flick of his head Sierra suddenly grew incredibly sleepy and fainted, Lucas however was left unscathed.

"Uh.. shouldn't I be passed out aswell?" He asked.

"No, I wish to speak to you personally." Dialga addressed.

"Ok speak on." He replied.

"When I spoke of Sierras guardian would you ever believe that, that knight would ever turn out to be you?" Dialga asked curiously.

"What?!"

"Obviously not…" Dialga measly said, "You play a vital role in this prophecy aswell Lucas. It is up to you to protect Sierra at all cost." He said.

"Not that I won't do that but what is to stop me from saying no?" Lucas asked curiously.

"No matter what Lucas whether you like it or not the prophecy always unfolds in the real world one way or another." Dialga said. Lucas put some actual thought into this considering the potentiality of his own role. He forgot the lover part of the prophecy aswell.

"If I were to be her guardian how would I ever do it? I mean I'm not that all special I'm just a regular Riolu even struggling to find my own place in this world." Lucas said.

A ball of aura appeared before the two, it wasn't the normal color of blue, it's colors constantly fluctuated ever changing from multiple different colors. Dialga motioned it floated towards Lucas emitting a faint glow of the respective color it showed. It moved into Lucas's chest merging with him.

"That orb contains the memory of hundreds of thousands of the greatest warriors in history. You have absorbed all of their knowledge, experience, and skills of which will be released once you have evolved into a Lucario." Dialga explained, "Here is the warrior that you shall become." Dialga said and another orb appeared before the two.

"Holy shit!" Lucas cried at the sheer awesomeness and badassness of what he had just seen.

"I know right!" Dialga cried back actually wanting to be that Lucario himself, he could never transform his shape however that ability lies with few Pokemon and Mew herself.

"… Wait." Lucas said, "Part of the prophecy depicted the knight as Sierras lover….." Lucas trailed off rather quickly after that one particular word.

"Does that mean that I will have to fall in love with her? That it is all destined to be a fake?"

"Love is one of the most powerful forces in this universe. It would be a crime against nature to ever forge it or fake it." Dialga said, "However Lucas. It does not take a genius to see the close bond you two share." Dialga said.

"I assure you what you feel when that faithful day comes is by no means fake a product of prophetic meddling." Dialga assured him, "It is up to you to get to that point in her life and with that will you grant the ability for this prophecy to be completed." Dialga said.

"Ok, but what would she think? Obviously later on you won't be there to explain it and Sierra rarely believes me these days…" Lucas said sadly.

"You have earned her trust once Lucas… it is completely possible for you to earn it again. And by that point of confession you will be able to peer into the past due to the level of mastery over aura you will have at that time." Dialga answered, "Oh yea since you have accepted your part in this prophecy you will be further be known as my representative." Dialga said.

Without warning with a flick of his head Lucas's blue Riolu fur got replaced by a yellow fur indigative of a shiny Pokemon.

"Whoa."

"Our own time has come to an end now." Dialga said, "Serve me well and protect her with your life Lucas. For you two will face many dangers in the nearing future." Dialga ended.

"Yes sir." He nodded looking over his shiny self. And with a flick of his head again Lucas grew sleepy and tired and soon fell to the floor himself bordering on the edge of consciousness.

"You are destined for great things just as your friend Lucas. Even in the most tyrannical and disheartening of times don't ever forget that." Was the last thing the young now shiny Riolu heard before drifting off into unconsciousness.
