Twelve Days after Jubilee was corrupted by power, December 19
Giratina
I floated around my Distortion World, watching the mind controlled slaves mine infinitely at the unbreakable wall for their insolence for resisting me. Just then, Arceus flew through the large portal connecting the Distortion and normal worlds. "News, Arceus?"
"Yes, master. Groudon and Kyogre are battling for territory again."
"Good. Deal with them."
"Yes." Arceus flew back through the portal and disappeared. I floated over to where Dialga and Palkia were floating.
"Oh, we always became allies and enemies, but who will stop me when I control them all?"
Arceus
My body flew over to where Groudon and Kyogre were trading blows, Groudon with Precipice Blades and Kyogre with Origin Pulse. They both stopped to look at me as I arrived there. Giratina, don't make me do this. Not another creature! I thought as a Hyper Beam ripped through the air, hitting both and killing both. My body started to fly back as Giratina used Telepathy. Go to Jodims, there are protesters there. My body started flying that direction. You've made me kill Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza 20 years ago, and countless other creatures, but now you turn me on the innocent civilians. This is me now, the royal enforcer of God Giratina, and that's what I'll be until the end of time. There's no one left to turn to. Even the legendaries Zacian and Zamazenta were executed within days of discovery. Even Palkia and Diagla are gone. There's no one to go to, and I couldn't beat Giratina even if I was free. So many beautiful creations of mine decimated, and I had to do the deed. There is no escape. I approached the city of Jodims and started using Punishment on the civilians, forcing the lucky ones to flee and the unlucky ones to be decimated. Why was I not strong enough to stop this? I created Giratina, Palkia, and Diagla, but they outmatched me. I must have become complacent over all of those years, and Giratina was always more aggressive than the other two. This is all my fault. If I didn't try and create powerful creatures, humans would still exist, and the ten year-olds would still catch my copies. Wait, how many times have I thought about this? Oh, it all blends together!
Antonio
I sat with my friends in the fighting park, eating lunch. "Hey, Antonio, should we get back to discussing why Gality ran away from the community?" Stephen asked.
"I think that he was just too chicken, like always!" Thomas laughed.
"I don't believe that. He was always against fighting. Maybe he didn't want to fight?" I inputted.
"I disagree. Gality always listened to his father, even if his father told him to fight." Stephen debated.
"Or maybe he was just too nervous!" Thomas remarked.
"Thomas, please stop saying extremely simple answers. We know that Gality was a very complex person, and that alone wouldn't drive him away." I replied as Mayor Swordhand arrived where we were sitting.
"We have a lead on my son, boys!"
"What, Mayor Swordhand?" He pulled out a video screen and sat on the picnic table. He clicked play, and we watched a video of Gality sneaking through the base.
"What does he want there?" Thomas asked. Me and Stephen looked straight at him.
"He wants the fighting stone there!" We answered in unison.
"Okay, okay!" Thomas panicked. We turned back to the computer screen to see Gality getting slammed against the monitor by a Machamp, then a Gardevoir came in and decimated it. Gality seemed to get very angry, then the place exploded.
"Did that Gardevoir just destroy the place?" I asked.
"Yes. Every. Last. Piece. That Gardevoir is the same one that was declared a renegade by the Gardevoir community. She was spotted leaving Tavabrook on a boat to Growen Town in the Herhen region. I want you to capture her, and don't come back until you do!"
"Why do we want her, Mayor?" Stephen asked.
"If we capture her, we may get the Gardevoir search guard to look for Gality. You get on your boat, and get moving!" I got up and walked toward the Royal Guard Espionage boat, and Stephen and Thomas followed me. We walked through the town square and looked right, seeing the junior fight arena. That's where me and Gality first met, I thought. He lost all of the battles that day. The next day, he came and destroyed all of us, minus a student that ran off somewhere. I met him after school and asked where he learned all of those moves, and he brought me to the library. He taught me quite a lot about battle sequences, but I never could master his double move…
"Antonio! Stop daydreaming!" Thomas yelled as I narrowly dodged running into a pole. "Pay attention! We are about to go on a mission, and you're the battle strategist!"
"Understood, Thomas." I replied as we entered the boat. Stephen went over and sat in the driver's seat, and Thomas and I sat on opposite sides of the boat. Stephen put the roof on the speedboat as he zoomed off the dock.
"Sorry if my driving isn't as good as Gality's!" Stephen said.
"So, Antonio, what's the plan?" Thomas asked.
"I say that we get a room, since we have no idea where the Gardevoir is. This search may take a while, so be prepared. When we track down the Gardevoir, we need to knock her out and take her back to her community."
"Sounds like a plan!" Stephen replied.
"As long as I get to fight!" Thomas exclaimed.
Stephen
I parked the boat at the dock and me and the boys jumped off. We passed a lopunny as we walked by, who stepped back weirdly. We walked through the crowded streets until we arrived at the hotel that Antonio had told us to go to, called Octillery's stay-in. We walked towards what I assumed to be the reception desk, and am Octillery turned around to greet us. "Hello, gentlemen! I'm Clark the Octillery, the owner of this place. What do you want?"
"We would like a room, please." Antonio answered. The Octillery grabbed a key off his wall of them.
"Room 234, second floor!" The Octillery stated.
"Thank you!" Antonio replied as we walked up the stairs and opened the door to our room. The room was carpeted with white, somewhat fluffy carpet, there were four beds, a weird-looking box, a working kitchen, and a bathroom, along with other furniture. Antonio immediately ran over to the couch and picked up a black rectangular prism with buttons. He pushed one and the box flashed on.
"Antonio, what is that thing?"
"Stephen, do you seriously not know what a television is? I know that you don't keep up with much technology, but this isn't exactly new!" Antonio clicked some other buttons on the television controller. "You go get us some groceries, and them be back here to prepare our first plan of action." I nodded and walked out of the door.
I walked back into the room to see that Antonio was still watching television, and Thomas was vigorously fluffing his pillow. I sat the groceries down on the counter, and then sat down next to Antonio, and looked at the television. We were watching a recording of old battles, when humans were still around. "Antonio, who are these people?"
"Well, this is the new champion of the Alola Region attempting to defeat his friend, Hau." Just then, the screen flipped to a channel that had a Gyrados with a paper propped up in front of him, and a video being played behind him.
"This just in!" The Gyrados boomed in its deep voice. "A Gardevoir has just killed a defender of the region, Marty Becky." The screen showed a Rapidash oddly slumped against a wall. "Stay inside of your homes and take cover. This Gardevoir is extremely dangerous!" He showed an image of the Gardevoir attacking. Sure enough, it was the one we were looking for. "She has last been spotted in the West quadrant of the city." I ran to the window and flung it open, and look at the stars. So, if the North Star is there, then west is approximately…
"Come on boys! This might be an easy mission!" I across the canopies of the surrounding buildings, getting to the other side. The other two followed, and I ran across the buildings in the west direction. Antonio caught up to me.
"Why couldn't we just take the street?"
"Too insane. If we lose this chance, it may be awhile until we find her again." Antonio nodded and we kept running until we saw helicopters shining lights onto a location five buildings to the north. "This way!" I jumped over the five streets in the way and stopped behind an air conditioning unit on top of a building.
Thomas
We watched as the Gardevoir shot down all of the helicopters, causing the passengers to bail and the helicopters to crash and explode on other buildings. "Should we interfere, Thomas?" Antonio asked.
"No. We'd be decimated!" I replied as the Gardevoir knocked out all of the guards with one Psychic. "In!" I yelled as we jumped down to the ground, rolling as we hit the ground in order to keep our legs intact. The Gardevoir starred us down as we incircled her from a distance.
"Oh, Gality's old friends! How convenient! As you can see, I'm not as passive as that butterfly!"
"Attack!" I screamed as we all charged Psycho Cuts, which she easily dodged, and we had to dodge our own shots. She fired a Moonblast at Stephen, downing him in one blast. I dodged the Moonblast fired at me and went over to get Stephen off the ground.
"What's the tactic, general?"
"She's very specially proficient, and good at dodging. Go in for physical moves!" We both charged in, and I slid under her Moonblast as Stephen used Close Combat, knocking her back, and Antonio knocked her back even farther with an Aerial Ace.
"Very impressive." She said as I ran in for a kick, but then she caught in and slammed me into a wall. I watched, somewhat dazed as Antonio was hit with a Moonblast, and Stephen was lifted into the air with Telekinesis. "But not good enough. Time to die!" I saw what was coming, even if I didn't understand it. I fired Psycho Cut, hitting Stephen just in time to have him knocked out of the way of the Guillotine. I got up and took out Gality's old invention, enveloping my forearms in think metal. "Quick thinking, Gallade. However…" I charged in towards the Gardevoir, but she dodged my attack as the gauntlets fell apart. "I read all of Gality's journals. This power source.." She charged Moonblast and destroyed it. "Makes it run." I charged in to use Brick Break, but she kicked me across the jaw, and then hit me with Moonblast. "You're lucky!" She laughed as she walked away. "I'll keep you alive because you're the only worthwhile challenge in this city!" Stephen got up and attempted to give chase, but I tripped him up.
"Why? We may never find her again!" he whined.
"We will. Anyways, we're way too beat up to pursue. Let's just go back to the apartment and figure this out later." I helped Antonio to his feet, and we started walking back through the lifeless streets.
