All around the platform that Ash was currently hovering over Legendary Pokemon gathered into groups. Only a few even looked familiar to him. Over in one section he saw what he knew to be the Kanto Birds Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. In that group were a few others though that he did not recognize. Two other larger Birds sat on the ground one was sleek white with blue fins running down their back while the other looked familiar but he couldn't place where from it was red mostly with feathers on its wings that seemed to shift every color of the rainbow. Around this bird stood three other quadrupedal Pokemon. One yellow with black stripes and a long purple mane, the next chocolate brown with a white mane and spikes protruding from its back, and the last a soft blue with a gem shaped head purple billowing mane and two white ribbons.
The next group consisted of 3 very large Pokemon. The first was what looked to be a long green snake dragon with 2 arms that seemed to be coiled up floating in the air. The second was a large blue whale like Pokemon with huge flippers. The last was bipedal and red with black horizontal lines every so often down its back and a large flat tail out behind it. Two dragons floated close but not quite in the group they were much smaller than the titans they floated near. Both seemed very similar but at the same time quiet different. One was white and red and seemed hyper while the other was blue and white and was trying to calm the other down. They both had small arms on their wings which really reminded him of a jet with long necks.
As Ash went to go look at the next group a small flash beside him got his attention. When he turned not three feet from him floated Mewtwo. "Hello again Mew. I knew we would see each other again but I did not expect it to be so soon after our last meeting. Nor did I expect to be called to a meeting of what seems to be the Pokemon that hold the very fabric of our universe together. It seems my statement of being the strongest Pokemon was very very far off the mark. Half of these Pokemon could crush me where I float without much problem."
"Hi Mewtwo. Yeah I was just looking around as well. I don't know any of them really all I can recognize is those 3 over there." Ash gestured to the three Kanto Birds. "The rest of them I have no idea on."
"It seems like the last of our group have arrived." Spoke a deep voice from the far side of the platform. Ash turning toward the source found himself staring at a tall white Pokemon with a golden halo around his body. All of the other Pokemon stopped whatever they were doing and turned to the shining one. "Originally I just had one bit of news that all of you needed to hear but it seems we have a bit more to go over.
First the news that you were originally called here for. The Chosen One has finally showed himself. The initial report about him came from Ho-oh as he spotted who he believed was The Chosen One leaving his home to begin his journey. It wasn't until recently that proof of his appearance has been obtained. Celebi came forward with information pertaining to his arrival as this happened a while ago but in the future I will not tell you what happened and I have asked Celebi to not give out to much information on the new Chosen One."
The speaker turned toward where Ash and Mewtwo were located. "In other news it seems we have a new Legendary among us. I would like to first introduce myself as you likely have no idea who any of us are. I am Arceus, The Alpha Pokemon. I was the first being to exist in this universe and I am the one to create the Greater Legendaries. Who might you be?"
Mewtwo looked a bit frightened being put on the spot like he had been in front of so many beings that could wipe him away but he pushed on. "Greetings, I am Mewtwo. From what I remember I was a clone experiment by the group known as Team Rocket before I broke free from their control."
Arceus looked a bit sad at the mention of Team Rocket. "Yes, I have heard of Team Rocket they have many sins against them. How did you come to meet Mew there?"
Mewtwo looked down at that statement. "I was half of the cause of his death." Arceus eyes shot open at that before looking at Ash closely.
"Mew has passed her power on has she?" Arceus directed toward Ash. "She was getting on in years this is true and she was only a few years away from passing naturally but I am sad and glad to hear she found a worthy successor. Now what happened exactly you two?"
Mewtwo started the story. He explained how he had broken free of Team Rocket and believed himself to be the strongest Pokemon in existence. He explained how he searched out worthy Trainers and their Pokemon so he could make a army to conquer the world. On and on the story went till he reached the part where the young trainer died to his and Mew's Psychic blast before turning to Ash to continue the story.
Ash gulped but pressed on from there. He explained how Mew contacted him as he lay dying on the ground and explained that he had only a short while to live before he died from the internal damage he suffered. He explained how Mew told him she could save him but at a cost. He told Arceus and the group of other Legendaries how he finally was talked into accepting the transformation into mew.
"I see." Arceus turned toward Mewtwo. "Know I do not blame you for what you have caused. You are but a young one who has not been taught better or have been taught wrong. I can not blame you for what someone else has trained you to believe correct. I am just glad that have seen that what you attempted was not the right path."
Arceus turned back toward Ash. "Has Mew contacted you yet to tell you what your duties entail?" At Ash's blank and surprised look Arceus chuckled. "I suppose not. She must still be asleep. When Mew passed on her powers to you she passed on a small portion of her conscious to you. This conscious will stay with you for around a year explaining what your duties as Mew is as well as explaining about the world and us Legendaries in general."
Arceus glided back into the sky and turned to address all the Legendaries. "Now then. Since we have introduced the new Legendary as well as got a small shock with Mew we will move on. I want everyone here to keep and eye out and make sure nothing happens to the new Chosen One. He will guide us to greatness. That is all everyone you are dismissed back to your duties."
With a swirl of power from Arceus Ash found himself ejected from the pocket dimension. He floated over a vast forest with no idea where he was. Pulling on his powers ash flashed away in a Teleport.
Upon Arriving back with his group of Pokemon Ash found his friends all laid out on the ground. Bulbasaur was burnt, Charizard was soaking wet, Wartortle and Pidgeotto were sparking every once in a while and Pikachu and Muk looked like they had been sick.
"You guys OK?"
The only answer Ash received was a loud moan of pain from Charizard the others couldn't even muster that. After a fairly large sweat drop from Ash all the Pokemon got themselves back under control thanks to a few well timed Heal Pulses from Ash.
"Alright what exactly happened? I know I didn't give orders that said to knock each other out."
The Pokemon all had an embarrassed look on their faces before Pikachu spoke up. "Well we started out like you said. Each of us used small amounts of power. Then we got cocky and wanted to out do the others. We kept upping the power of our moves until we were going all out and well you see the outcome."
"I don't know why I left you guys to do this. I should have known your prides would have gotten in the way. Well its not that bad. By the way do any of you guys know what a Chosen One is? In the meeting just now Arceus told me to keep an eye on The Chosen One but I don't know who that is... Guys why are all of you white as a sheet... Guys?
HEY WAKE UP!"
The group of Pokemon jerked at the Hyper Voice yell but still remained dumbfounded before Pidgeotto spoke up in her calm voice. "Ash did you just say you met Arceus?"
"Well yeah not sure who that was really until he introduced himself but I did. A whole bunch of us Legendaries were there. I know I saw Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Pretty sure Ho-oh and Celebi was there as well. Mewtwo got inducted as an official Greater Legendary and I got greeted as the new Mew." Ash explained missing the looks of shock on his Pokemon's faces.
Throwing his arms up Charizard just gives up. "Is this gonna be our life now? Just randomly meet a Legendary? Whats next we gonna run into this Chosen One purely by chance."
"Hey its not my fault." Ash pouted before pausing for a moment. "OK maybe it is my fault I am the one who threw himself into a Psychic but still. Anyway have you guys heard of The Chosen One? I haven't and I would really like to know before I accidentally run into him or her."
Bulbasaur, Wartortle and Charizard answered in the negative. Though Pikachu, Pidgeotto and Muk all nodded that they had.
"I was told that the Chosen One is a being of Destiny that would lead Pokemon to a brighter future." Pikachu explained with the other two nodding along. "Problem is I wasn't told how to check if the person was or was not The Chosen One."
Ash sighed at that. "Well maybe as a Legendary I will just know them or something. Anyway how is everyone feeling about the upcoming League? We ready for the battles ahead?"
All his Pokemon quickly agreed. "Alright good because we have two days till we have to set out for Indigo Plateau. Brock and Misty will meet us at Viridian City so we will rest and relax till we set out. Calling everyone back Ash and Pikachu set out on their short walk home.
The two days of rest and relaxation had passed quickly. Ash's Pokemon were starting to get antsy waiting for the upcoming battles. After a short delay to say goodbye to his mom and Professor Oak, Ash set out on Route 1. It was really a trip down memory lane as they passed areas that they hadn't seen since their very first day as a team. Stopping at the location they had beat the Spearow they both looked up wondering what awaited them next. This time no Rainbow Bird could be seen but their Journey was just beginning.
'So what you guys looking at?' A high pitched voice spoke causing Ash to jump. Pikachu looked at him questionably. Ash though was turning around looking for the source of the voice.
"Ash what are you doing?" Pikachu questioned.
"Didn't you hear that person ask us a question?"
"The last voice I heard other than the two of us was that Poliwag back half a mile wish us a good day." Pikachu stated in regards to Ash's previous question.
"But I heard a voice. It was really familiar too but I can't tell you where I heard it before." Ash told Pikachu not quiet believing the voice was all in his head.
'I am in your head though.' Ash jumped again at the surprising statement before slowly remembering that the voice he was hearing was from the previous Mew. Ash could picture the face of Mew fiendishly smiling in his head. 'Oh I am glad I was able to do that one last time at least. Anyway, yeah I just woke up finally I was able to pull my consciousness together in your head. I see you talked to Dad already.'
Ash blinked before looking at Pikachu. "Talking with Telepathy one sec." 'So you're in my head now? Then can you tell me who the Chosen One is? None of my Pokemon know who it was and we can't keep an eye on them if we don't know.'
'Don't worry about it. Your to new to the Mew role to worry about that. Give it a bit and you will likely find out who the Chosen One is.' Mew giggled at this statement. 'Anyway your adapting quick to my powers aren't you. This is good though we will have to show you how to make a new Pokemon before I kick it. So my earlier question what we standing around for?'
'When me and Pikachu passed this way last time we saw a giant rainbow bird way off in the distance but we don't know what it was.'
'Sounds like Ho-oh to me. He was always THE rainbow bird which is neat means you saw Ho-oh on your first day as a trainer. That always means good luck with your adventures.'
"Yeah it definitely brought me luck." Ash replied to the statement out loud looking down at Pikachu and thinking of his other friends. "Well Pikachu it's time to move on gotta get to Viridian if we want to meet up with Misty and Brock."
If Ash and Pikachu had spent just a moment to look up they would have seen a small flash of rainbow off in the distance.
I will likely be getting out 1 maybe 2 more chapters fairly quickly. Once those chapters get out I am going to slow down to 1 or 2 a week so as not to burn myself out on this story. Be prepared for the long haul.
Enjoy
