Chapter 5:
It has been three months since Luke and Ellie left Nuvema Town. They gathered the first three badges, caught a couple of pokemon, and are currently engaged in a training battle.
"Oshawott, use Razor Shell!" Luke called out, knowing the battle would soon be over. Even with a type advantage, he had managed to get Snivy to activate Overgrow, meaning she was on her last legs. He had taken some hits but was still doing pretty well.
Oshawott charged at Snivy, holding his scalchop, a glowing six-inch blade at the end. He slashed downward, but was blocked by a well-times Vine Whip the Ellie shouted at the last moment. Both pokemon pushed with all their might, each knowing that if this attack landed, it would be over.
Suddenly, Snivy began to glow, and Oshawott was pushed back a good ten feet because of the strength of the shove. Snivy began to glow brighter and her form began to change. She grew taller and more snake-like.
"Snivy is evolving?!" both kids said as the glow faded, revealing a Servine where the Snivy had been standing a moment before. Ellie's Pokedex beeped to let her know one of her pokemon's status had changed. She looked at it and saw a new move. She grinned and put the device back in her pocket.
"Servine, let's try out that new move! Use Grass Pledge!"
"Sure thing! Take this!" Servine yelled, plunging her tail into the ground. Plants grew at a rapid pace, moving towards the small Sea Otter.
"Try to keep the plants from touching you!" Luke yelled, knowing that the attack would do a significant amount of damage. Oshawott did his best, slicing and jumping around, trying to avoid the vines that were popping out of the ground, but he was eventually captured but the plant life and was soon wrapped up. As the vines encircled him, he began to glow, and the vines ended up holding an object much larger than Oshawott. Luke heard a beep, looked at his Pokedex, and grinned.
"Dewott! Use Sacred Sword to get out, then use Water Pledge!" Twin blade cut through the vines, revealing the newly evolved Dewott, who proceeded to plunge his swords into the ground, causing geysers to erupt in a line, pointing towards Servine, who had no time to react and was thrown up into the air, then slapped back downward as Dewott lept up and slashed down.
"Dad!" a voice called. Riolu, who had learned to walk about two months ago, ran up, holding a green jewel. (A/N for size reference, look at the Pill speaker.) The Jewel was glowing softly.
"You guys can have a rest. What is it, Riolu?" Luke said. Dewott and Servine went over to the camp and ate a couple of the berries to help them recover, and Riolu handed the jewel to Luke.
"It started glowing right after Dewott and Servine evolved," Riolu told Luke.
"I didn't know you had that," Ellie said, coming over to take a look.
"I completely forgot about this," Luke said, recalling how he got it.
Flashback, the night before he left:
"Luke, I want you to take this with you on your journey," his mom, Olivia, said, holding the jewel out to her son.
"Mom, I can't take this. It's your good luck charm." Luke protested, pushing the jewel away ash he packed his bag.
"Please, I'm giving it to you so you can have good luck on your journey," Olivia told her son, placing it in his hands. "I have this feeling that you'll need it"
Luke sighed. "I can see that I'm going to lose this argument." He slid the jewel into his backpack, then continued packing.
End flashback
"Your mom seems really nice," Ellie said, after hearing the story.
"Yeah," Luke replied. The jewel had been steadily growing brighter and brighter as they talked. Suddenly, the jewel emitted a bright flash and float out of Luke's hands and to the center of the clearing.
Luke whistled, and his Flechinder soared over from the tree he had been resting from his fight earlier with Ellie's Tympole and landed on Luke's shoulder. "What's up?" he said. Luke pointed towards the glowing jewel, which was now forming some sort of shape out of the light. "Watch this from the air and give me updates."
Flechinder nodded, knowing, like all of his pokemon, that he was a Latios hybrid. Ellie had been told that he was a psychic, and for fear of him discovering her secret, she did not dare dispute it, even though she could sense he was not telling her everything. Flechinder took off and began circling the clearing.
All eyes turned to the jewel, which had formed a body out of the light. It was mostly red, with blue highlights and four, tube-shaped arms, two red and two blue, one of each color on each side. The jewel was embedded in the chest. Luke pulled out his Pokedex and scanned the newcomer.
"Deoxys the DNA Pokémon. The DNA of a space virus underwent a sudden mutation upon exposure to a laser beam and resulted in Deoxys. The crystalline organ on this Pokémon's chest appears to be its brain."
"D- d- Deoxys?" Ellie said, having heard legends about the extraterrestrial. It nodded, and then they heard a voice in their head. "Yes. I must that you Luke for keeping me safe. I was able to come out of stasis when two pokemon evolved in such a short time nearby." His voice sounded like he was a child, not yet fully grown.
"You mean, you know about everything that happened to us?" Luke asked, mainly to know if he knew about his secret. Deoxys replied with a simple, "Yes," but to Luke only, he said, "I know about you being a hybrid, but don't worry, I won't tell." There was a smile in his voice. Then he spoke to both of them. "I wish to join the guardian on his journey. I am a child compared to others of my kind. My only requirement is that I stay out of my Pokeball in a human form or in hibernation as a crystal."
Luke stared for a moment, and then said, "Sure," He pulled out a Pokeball and tapped Deoxys on his head. He was absorbed into the ball, and it shook a bit. As a small click was heard from the ball, he called Flechinder back and sent him back to his tree to rest. He then released his new capture and scanned him to find out that he knew Leer, Wrap, Nightshade, Teleport, Knock Off, Spikes, Psychic, Double Team, Pursuit, Taunt, Shadow Ball, Rest, Sleep Talk, Fire Punch, and Psycho Boost. "Wow. Nice move set. Now, what do you mean by a human form?"
The Deoxys closed his eyes and began to glow. When the light faded, a boy was standing in his place. He had red hair and green eyes. His outfit consisted of a pair of jeans, a blue t-shirt, and a red vest. He had a pair of glasses. "This is what I mean."
"Okay," Luke replied. Then he realized something. "You just spoke English. When a legendary enters thier human form, they can only communicate in telepathy. I've talked with one" Ellie looked impressed by what he said. He must have gotten lucky. Most people search for years and never gotten as much as a glimpse of a legendary and this is his second time speaking with one?
"True, but because I am a DNA Pokemon and can alter DNA, I can actually become human in pretty much every respect, including speaking. When I am in human form, you can call me David" Luke nodded.
Ellie remembered something that Deoxys had said earlier. He had said, "I wish to join the guardian," and Luke proceded to agree and catch the mythical pokemon. Does that mean Luke is the guardian that he referred to? She thought. She voiced her question to the other two, and it was Luke who responded. "Yes, the other legendary I spoke to said that I was destined to be, 'the guardian of the chosen,' or something like that. The way I see it, I have an undetermined time to get ready. I only hope I can get ready in time," he said, rubbing the back of his head. Ellie had that feeling that he was holding something back, like when he told her he was psychic, but decided, again, to not press him for answers. If I need to know, he'll tell me.
"Well, this has been interesting. Now, who's ready to eat?" Luke called out to all of their pokemon. Dewott and Servine ran up, having recuperated. Flechinder glided over from his perch to land on Luke's shoulder. Riolu piped up with, "I think we all are, Dad!" Luke looked around and saw that his Honedge and Ellie's Tympole and Darumaka had come over to.
"I think your right. I'll go get working!" Luke said, walking over to his pack to get out his supplies. All mouths began to water as the thought of the delicious food Luke had kind of became known for in their little group.
A/N I had a fun time writing this. Now on to reviews!
Setech: Glad to hear you like where I am going with this. As to Luke in Latios form, I have some plans. I can't say more, but I do have plans. And yes, Treecko is kind of overlooked, but I looked him up, and I can see why you like it. Glad to use your suggestion!
Latiash: Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Ellie is a Latias hybrid. Sorry to disappoint you on that front, but I have my reasons.
This is actually a good time to talk about something. Because they became half legendary at young ages, they are a lot more mature than others their age. That is why they sound different from other ten-year-olds.
Something else I need to talk about is the reviews. The section above is always so short! Please review. It lets me know what you guys think. It also gives me more incentive to write faster. So, if you want chapters sooner, please review it! I would really appreciate it. I still will write even without reviews, but I will work harder when I see people are enjoying my story.
I hope you enjoyed. Remember to review or PM me with questions, and I'll see you next time!
