Heyyo.

Mega: Dude. I'm so glad you're here. I look forward to those paragraph-long reviews. I have a review addiction so you feed it lmao.

Anyhoo, yeah, not all the Legendaries know each other for different reasons; some of them just stay in their regions, some of them see each other but don't really interact--you know, stuff like that. But Marshadow has her own reasons for not wanting people to know she exists...which will be at least partially explained in the final chapter of CotA.

12as3m: Unfortunately, Galar Pokemon won't be appearing in this story, or in fics for at least until I can fully play Sword; I got a Nintendo Switch for Christmas and am getting the game pretty soon (hopefully). The reason for this is because when I first started this story, I don't think Sword/Shield had even been announced yet, and even if they were they weren't released until like halfway through it. I did--and do--have a plan for this universe, and I just don't have the place to write them in right now. I do have a story planned to integrate them in, but that's still a good ways off. I hope you'll still stick with us until then.

PK: Is he?

Also: IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT IN ENDING AUTHORS NOTE, SO PLEASE READ THAT.

To the shenanigans!!

O/O/O/O

*Thoughts*

"Speech"

"Telekinesis Talk."


Mesprit eyed the scene before her; she turned to Azelf, who was huddled in the bushes next to her.

"Do you think this is going well?"

"I have no clue."

They turned around at the sound of footsteps approaching.

Shaymin, Latias, and Marshadow came over; Shaymin stepped forward.

"Hey, Azelf!! You still single?"

The blue blob blinked, then shrugged.

"Last I checked."

"Great!!"

He turned to them.

"See? I told you he'd be available!!"

There was a small moment of silence.

"...Did you just call me a he?" Azelf deadpanned.

He turned back around.

"Uh, yeah...? You're a guy, right?"

Another moment of silence.

Mesprit proceeded to bust out laughing, the loud noise startling everyone in the premises.

Azelf slowly lifted up a tentacle and covered her face.

"Now I know why you always rejected me..."

Shaymin's deer ears pinned back.

"W-Wait, what--?"

"Shaymin, do you seriously think Azelf's a guy?" Latias spluttered.

"Well--I--yeah!! I did!!"

"I've known him for hundreds of years, and I never put two and two together," Azelf murmured. "It makes so much sense now."

Marshadow facepalmed.

"This has to be the worst one yet."

"Wait, you were being serious all those times you asked me out?! And that time we did go out?!"

"You didn't think I was serious?"

"I thought we were just--I don't know, being bros!! You used to hang out with me and Darkrai all the time, so--!!"

Mesprit's laughter increased while Latias covered her face.

"What a disaster." Marshadow facepalmed again.

"Well--uh--this is so awkward--"

"Why did you need me anyways? I know you wouldn't date me if I was a guy since you're straight."

Shaymin sighed and explained the whole situation.

"Oh. Wow."

Keeping his gaze away from her, he began walking to the side.

"So, uh...Heatran around? He was my second idea, and I know he hangs out with you guys--"

Mesprit stopped laughing, becoming very serious.

"Heatran is nearby, but you will not be disturbing them."

"Wait, what--"

Azelf and Mesprit parted the bushes to reveal Heatran and Uxie at a table by the nearby river, having dinner together.

They seemed confused by all the noise,

"Wait...are they on a date?!" Latias squealed.

"Yes. But considering neither of them talk we aren't sure if it's going well or not."

"It's going great!! You seriously can't tell?"

"Not quite..."

"Well don't worry. They're having a good time, they're just flustered about it."

"How can you--"

"I have my ways!!"

Something clicked in the back of Shaymin's brain.

"Hey, I was right!! They make a good couple!!"

"Oh, yeah, you did say that..."

Marshadow cleared her throat.

"Are we done here?"

"Oh, yeah, sorry," Shaymin murmured as they began walking off.

Azelf called to him.

"Hey, Shay, since we're on the same page now, you wanna go out--"

"OH LOOK AT THE TIME WE BETTER HURRY!!" Latias exclaimed, picking up Marshadow and Shaymin, mega evolving and shooting off.

"...Do I take that as a no?" Azelf asked.

"Take it as a maybe," Mesprit replied.


Latias crashed headfirst into a tree, falling to the ground and dropping her passengers.

Shaymin sat up, rubbing his head with a groan; a thought came to him.

"Wait, did Darkrai know she's a girl--?!"

"The fact that you didn't know that says a lot about you, you know." Marshadow stood up.

"I swear, there was no way for me to--"

A flash of light as Latias reverted to normal caught his attention; seeing that she was still lying on the ground and groaning, he bounded over.

"Latias, you okay?"

She moaned and sat up, rubbing her face.

"That hurt a lot..."

"Why were you going so fast? It could've been way worse--"

Marshadow rolled her eyes and cleared her throat.

"Look, your girlfriend was right, it's getting late, so we'd better get a move on."

"We're not dating--" Shaymin attempted.

"I don't care. Now who's next? I feel like I trust the dragon's judgement more than yours."

"It was an accident--"

"One I'm assuming lasted hundreds of years. Quite pathetic, really."

"It's not his fault he's an idiot!!" Latias interjected.

Shaymin facehooved.

"Thanks, Lats."

"As previously stated, I don't care. Now let's get on with it."


Victini, Keldeo, and Meloetta were in their human disguises, having dinner on a balcony at a fancy restaurant; they were currently awaiting their main meal while feasting on appetizers.

"Thanks for footing the bill, Melly," Keldeo spoke as he shoved the complimentary rolls into his mouth.

"It's no problem--especially considering you two managed to already blow all your money."

"It's not my fault I lost at that danceoff that hobo randomly challenged me to," Victini grumbled.

"Told ya you should've let me do it for you. At least I spent my money on important stuff!" Keldeo chided, forcing in the complimentary mini baguettes.

"Because your parents are soooo important you have to spend cash on them--"

"Tini, it's okay to be insecure since nobody loves you--"

The small disguised fire type shrieked in puberty-like rage, making the other two bust out laughing.

"I hate you both!! I should've come on vacation by myself!!"

As the three visitors stood below the balcony, about to call out to them, Marshadow snapped at the two.

"Absolutely not."

Latias, looking like Bianca's twin sister, frowned.

"But you haven't even talked to him yet--"

"Those two? I don't need to talk to them. Out of that little group the only one I would trust with anything is Meloetta, but we all know by now that Zeraora's straight."

"Not gonna lie, Lats, I agree with her on this one." Shaymin looked up; his human form was short, dressed in a flower print hoodie and ripped jeans with short green hair.

*He's so cute!!*

Latias realized what she just thought.

*...Wait, what?*

Marshadow, entire figure except for her dark face covered by a cloak, turned around.

"This was a waste of time. Onto the next."

Latias sighed and followed her, Shaymin keeping pace with her.

Up on the balcony, the boys had continued arguing whilst Meloetta's attention had been directed down, following Marshadow as they left.


Zyra, in her 10% forme, growled from the bushes she was crouched in as Squishy, also in his 10% forme, exited the house, barking one last goodbye to Bonnie as he pranced off.

Seeing him so happy made her enraged.

"Look at that, Greninja!! A human, of all things, makes him so joyful!! Ugh, he should be with me instead of her. After all--"

Greninja died even more inside the more his charge complained; ever since the female had gotten "advice" from Lunala, she had gotten quite obsessed with getting Squishy to date her.

...It was quite pathetic, to be honest.

...But also a bit scary, as she had begun straying into borderline stalker territory.

As the glorified ninja frog began thinking about how nice it would be to kick Ash Ketchum in the balls for leaving him to watch this maniac, something caught his attention.

"WHO IS THAT?!"

When he looked out, he saw Latias, Shaymin, and a figure he didn't recognize speaking to Squishy.

The female proceeded to leap out of the bushes and begin sprinting over; Greninja sighing and having no choice but to follow.

For once, Marshadow seemed okay with this choice, and Squishy was actually interested.

"She sounds interesting," He mused. "I certainly wouldn't mind meeting her."

"You'll meet her briefly, and if you guys hit it off, we'll set up a date!!"

"Hmm...what form should I meet her in? 100% is probably a bad idea, but 50% shouldn't be so bad--"

"HEY!!"

All except Marshadow jumped as the green menace stormed over.

"What's going on here?!"

Squishy rolled his synthetic eyes.

"I'm about to get a date. Why do you ask?"

"Damnit, I forgot about his clingy counterpart," Marshadow murmured.

"Date?! Date?! With who?!"

"This girl named Zeraora--"

"Actually, I don't think that will be possible," Marshadow spoke up.

Latias and Shaymin looked taken aback.

"What?! But it was going so well!!" Latias protested.

"I know, and I'm actually a bit disappointed about this one, but this unresolved drama will definitely cause problems for everyone involved in the future."

"Wait, but--" Squishy attempted, but to no avail as the three began to leave, the other two dejected.

Zyra felt relieved--at least until her counterpart whirled around, snarling.

She gulped whilst Greninja resisted the urge to slam his head into a nearby rock.


"I can't believe this," Shaymin growled under his breath. "I can't believe she showed up and ruined everything like that!! What a bi--"

"Thinking out loud again, Shaymin," Latias murmured.

"Oh, crap, sorry."

She sighed.

"Alright, maybe this next one will have better luck..."

With y'all's odds? With moi writing this? HA.
