The Lost City of Twilight
Chapter 38: The Appetite of Power
"Finally…" Baron says.
"Right, the Palace of Phantom is in front of us." Latios says. Now they are in front of the Palace of Phantom.
"But how can we get in that palace?" Latias says.
"There must be a secret entrance somewhere…" Latios says. Then he looks around and finds a secret entrance at the tree.
"Let's go." Latios says. Then they enter the secret entrance.
"What the….?" Baron says when they finally enter the main room of the Palace of Phantom.
"Why there's no one in this palace?" Anna says.
"Is this a trap?" Jedi says.
"Let's look around." Baron says. Then they walk around the palace until they reach the second floor, where they finally realize about why no one is in this palace.
Many Phantom grunts collapse on the ground. They fall unconscious. And there's a Pokemon standing near them.
"How pathetic…" That Pokemon says. Then he notices Baron and friends.
"Who are you?" Latios asks.
"Calculate from your sacred weapons, so you all must be the Hero/Heroine of Legend. My name is Deoxys. I am one of three protectors of Noirero Province." Deoxys says.
"Greeting, the great Deoxys." Baron says.
"Are you on that Phantom's side?" Falcon asks.
"No, I am the only one protector who doesn't stand at the Phantom's side. The other two protectors, Darkrai and Mewtwo are on the opposite side of us." Deoxys says.
"Are Mewtwo and Darkrai the protectors of this province?!" Ordin says.
"Yes, but with their appetite of power, they decide to join that Phantom Kingdom." Deoxys says.
"By the way, why are you here?" Scarley asks.
"I always come to this palace as a spy. I am working for the god Arceus." Deoxys says.
"Anyway, do you know the place where the Tablet of Legend has kept?" Lumiere asks.
"Tablet of Legend? From my calculating, the Tablet of Legend must have kept in the Temple of Nightmare." Deoxys says.
"Temple of Nightmare?" Anna says.
"The legend says that place is where the greed, hatred, fears and sorrow was born." Deoxys says.
"That sounds scary…" Anna says and holding Baron's arm.
"By the way, where is that Temple?" Latios asks.
"From this place, head north for a while and you will encounter that temple." Deoxys says.
"Thank you, the great Deoxys." Baron says.
"You're welcome. And if you want, summon me if you want my help." Deoxys says.
"Thank you." Anna says. Then everyone runs out of the Palace of Phantom, heading to the Temple of Nightmare.
"Baron, what will we do next?" Anna asks while they are running to the Temple of Nightmare.
"What?" Baron says.
"After we can defeat that Phantom, you will get the Power of the God and use that power to return us to our human life, do you still want to return to our world?" Anna asks.
"Sure thing! We are human. Human and Pokemon can't mix together." Baron says.
"But I am starting to like this place. All Pokemon are good. The world here is beautiful too." Anna says.
"Zelda, what will happen if anyone know that we are human? Even all members in our team exclude Latios and Latias still don't know about our true identity. If anyone knows that we are human, something terrible will happen. It is the best thing for us to end it all and leave forever…" Baron says.
"But I think not all Pokemon are hating human, like Latios and Latias, they are Pokemon too and they are friendly with us!" Anna says.
"So you want to live in this world?" Baron asks.
"I start to think like that…" Anna says.
"…" Baron is speechless.
"Link…" Anna says.
"I will think about it later. But I will tell you my decision in curtain." Baron says.
"Thank!" Anna says and holds Baron's arm.
"By the way, Zelda, why you become a Lapras?" Baron asks.
"I think Lapras is a kind Pokemon. Lapras also an intelligent Pokemon too! And Lapras is an ice type Pokemon. The ice type Pokemon is a gentle Pokemon." Anna says.
"But why you become a pure ice type Lapras?" Baron asks.
"I still don't know…" Anna says.
"Anyway, let's not talk about this." Baron says.
"Link, I have a question too." Anna says.
"What question?" Baron asks.
"What is the true identity of Latios? I think that he isn't just a Pokemon like us." Anna says.
"Latios is …" Baron says and whispers the rest answers to Anna.
"That's unbelievable!" Anna says.
"That's true. It explains why Latios always be a smuggy. He is a bit scary." Baron says.
"But I think the scariest member of our team is Tysand and Falcon." Anna says.
"Why?" baron asks.
"Tysand looks like an assassin. I think maybe someday he will kill us!" Anna says.
"About Falcon?" Baron asks.
"Falcon sometimes acts childish. Also he is a great magic user, but he is a shadow Pokemon too!" Anna says.
"I am a shadow Pokemon too…" Baron says.
"You are the shadow Pokemon because you get a curse from that Mewtwo. But Falcon's dark side isn't coming from the curse." Anna says.
"How do you know?" Baron asks.
"I can sense a strange aura of his body, a light aura mix with a black aura. Those two things are opposite. They can't mix together." Anna says.
"By the way. Don't you worry, I will be here by your side." Baron says.
"Thank you…" Anna says. Then Latios flies to them.
"Baron, we have arrived the Temple already…" Latios says.
"Okay…" Baron says. Then he looks into the Temple. This temple looks very scary.
"That's scary. Maybe the haunt spirit in this temple will come out and take our soul to the world of the end…" Lumiere says.
"Don't say like that…" Jedi, Ordin and Scarley say.
"I don't care if the haunt spirit will come out and take our soul to the world of the end. I am afraid that the evil spirit will come out and change our mind to the mind that fills with the appetite of power like Mewtwo and Darkrai…" Baron says.
"Yes, let's go." Latios says. Then they enter the Temple of Nightmare.
