Previously : Wigglytuff - I think the dissappearence of many dungeons is due to Rayce and Amber stopping the paralysis of the planet.

Dialga, Palkia and Giratina were waiting outside their house.

Chapter 2 - Fates

I and Amber woke up this morning early to find some jobs to do before other rescue teams could take them.

I woke up first, then woke Amber up. We ate breakfast, which was 2 Perfect apples given to us by Sunflora. Then we washed our faces, took a small bath and went up.

It was still pretty dark as it was just 4 am. I couldn't see properly. I got a piece of wood from the nearby tree and Amber lit it using Flamethrower.

We saw someone or something and were startled. On better inspection, we realized we saw Dialga. What was he doing here? Did he need something? Or did he just come to visit? We didn't care, we were happy to see him again. When we asked to him to join us, he said he would after making repairs at Temporal Tower.

We realised someone was with him. We saw Palkia and Giratina behind him. We saw a heavy wound on Palkia and a big scar on Giratina. We realised that this was important.

I asked him, "Hi everyone. Is there something wrong?"

Dialga quickly replied, "Not something, everything is wrong. We need to talk to you. We can't do it here though. Come meet us Spacial Rift. You remember how to get there right. Just ask Lapras. He will take you there. Come there next week, exactly 7 days later. Not a day later, although you can come before, but we won't there then. Please we need you. It's about the creator. He's become a risk."

Amber quickly replied, "Creator? Who's the creator? Tell us."

Giratina said, "We can't tell you two here. Come visit us at Spacial Rift."

Suddenly a flash of light came, and Amber and I were blinded. We we were able to see again, Giratina, Dialga and Palkia were gone.

We wondered what was the case. Why didn't any one of them tell us why they needed us.

Amber said, "We should go ask Wigglytuff and Chatot about this 'Creator'. Maybe they know something.

We were going to Wigglytuff's guild anyway. I would have asked them anyway. But, I felt doubt about doing so. I mean like, Dialga was being really secretive about it. Maybe he didn't want anyone else to know.

I told Amber that it was not a good idea to ask the guild about our discussion with Dialga, Palkia and Giratina and I gave my reasons. He agreed.

We were on our way to Treasure Town when Bidoof came. I was walking a little bit around town while Amber and Bidoof were talking. I suddenly tripped on a rock and fell.

He said to us, "Where is the Luminous Spring? I have only been at the outside. I wanna evolve."

Just as Amber was about to answer, a huge explosion was heard in the east and the ground started shaking. Kangaskhan shouted that it was an earthquake. Suddenly everything stopped.

I stood up and felt a headache. I realised that I had felt a Dimensional Scream! I had seen the future. I didn't have the Dimensional Scream for months. This one was definitely in the future, as such a catastrophe, if had occured in past would've been felt by and if not, then atleast aomeone must've talked about it.

After a few minutes, when Amber and Bidoof had finished their conversation, and my head had stopped spinning, I went to Amber. He said, "We should go to the guild now." I agreed, not because I didn't want to tell him this, but because I didn't want to cause a panic.

When we reached the city outskirts, I told Amber what I saw. He was shocked and said, " You had the scream. After so many months. I thought it would've stopped after we defeated Darkrai. We need to go tell everyone." I told him that I wanted to but didn't want to cause a panic. Amber said, "Rayce, I think that this scream is somehow related to our conversation with Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. We should atleast tell the guild." I strongly disagreed. I told him that everyone could still panic.

We reached the guild. There was one job! We took it without hesitation. It was about retrieving something called a 'Past Piece'.

A Past Piece is something rumored to be connected with the formation of the world.

Apparently, an ancient ruin had been discovered east of Fogbound Lake. The ruin is named Illuminous Ruins. Apparently no one has been there yet as the door is closed and no one has been able to break it.

It was no mystery dungeon, but atleast it was something.

There was no name written on the pamphlet. All that was there was written to meet outside of Brine Cave exactly in 7 days.

We were like, okay, atleast it's a job.

We decided to go there tomorrow as it had already started to be an afternoon. It would become late till we returned, so we decided to not do it today.

We reached the town, bought some apples and a few blast seeds from the Kecleons' shop. When we reached home, we saw a note on the ground! Someone was in here!

We picked up the note and read it. It said, "I came here to see you two, but it looks like no one was home. Please come visit at Fogbound Lake. - Uxie."

We were relieved to discover that it wasn't an intruder. We decided to talk to Uxie tomorrow after coming back from Illuminous Ruins.

We woke up early the next day to go to Illuminous Ruins. We washed our faces and went on our way.

In the city, there was a crowd. We stopped for a moment to find out what was going on. Apparently a neighbouring island's volcano had erupted, causing the three towns on the island to be completely destroyed. Most of the pokemons however, were rescued before the lava reached the towns. We felt sorry for the residents of the islands.

Apparently, Exploud's home was in one of the towns called Gold Village. We were sorry for his loss, but got word that his family had been evacuated in the nick of time. We were with him the whole day trying to console him. Everyone from the guild was there with him. We spent most of our time with him. Thus, we were unable to go to Illuminous Ruins that day.

We decided to do the job the next day.

The next day we woke up a bit late. We went to Illuminous Ruins. The place was huge. There was a big door at the ruin's entrance. I used Brick Break on the door to break it. There was not a scratch on the door. I tried High Jump Kick, Mega Punch and Rock Slide. Same as with Brick Break. Not a scratch!

Then Amber tried to break it. He too used all his moves, but couldn't make any progress. He said, "This door is too thick. I can't break it. What should we do?"

I decided to look around the entrance for a switch, a lever or snything which would help us get in. I told Amber to do the same.

We started examining the walls, hoping for a way in.

There were so many symbols I couldn't understand. There was a pokemon I didn't recognize, I think he was attacking someone or something.

Then there was a Groudon etched on the wall. Then there was a Grovyle and a human fighting a Dusknoir and Primal Dialga!

The next there was a time portal and Darkrai attacking the Grovyle and the human!

What in the world is all this? I mean like, my life story. Why is all this etched on this wall?

I found a switch at the end of the wall. I pressed it.

Suddenly the wall started spinning and a part of the wall came out from the rock wall.

Then it started showing a Riolu and Torchic joing a guild whose guildmaster was a Wigglytuff and his assistant was a Chatot!

It then showed the Riolu, Torchic and grovyle riding a Lapras.

It then showed the Riolu and Torchic fighting Dialga.

In its second last etching, a Darkrai was shown facing the two pokemon.

The final photo showed the Riolu and Combusken (Torchic had evolved) facing a Dialga.

I pushed the switch again.

It showed the Grovyle and Dusknoir fighting 9 Sableyes in a place without any leaves on the trees, no sun and no color. All was grey.

It then showed a Lucario and Blaziken facing the Illuminous Ruins. It then showed them talking to Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. All then was blank.

"What in the world was all that", I thought.

I pushed the switch again.

This time, the door became unlocked.

I shouted out to Amber.

After he came, we pushed the door open.

A blinding light came and we saw a passageway. We went in the place.

The ruins were deserted. There were no pokemon, no lights, no items, nothing. It was truly deserted.

After all, this place was lost for a thousand years. No one had been here for such a long time.

We were the first visitors in a thousand years.

There is a legend about this place that an immortal pokemon guards the very end of these ruins.

We were a bit nervous, but not too much as we have defeated some very strong pokemon before. Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, etc.

There were inscriptions on the walls everywhere.

However, the place wasn't very big. Only 5 floors.

The wall etchings included a Grovyle and Celebi fighting a Dialga. Others included the Lucario and Blaziken fighting an unknown pokemon in an unknown place.

Blaze wasn't reading much. He was focused on finding the stairs. The B5th floor was a dead end.

There was nothing! I and Amber were walking towards a big room when suddenly a switch on the floor was enabled. The entire floor collapsed and we fell! The fall was about 30 seconds and we landed on a huge piece of rotten hay.

We were in a large room, or a hall. I couldn't see properly. The room was full of smog.

All I could see that there was a doorframe leading to a hallway. Amber was suspicious about going in. He said, "What if it's a trap, Rayce? What do we do then?". I said to him, "What choice do we have? It's not like that we could fly and get back up to the main Ruins."

Since we had no choice, we kept going on. The hallway was pretty long. I think we were walking for about half an hour before we reached the next room. The room had a swimming pool in it. The path was a dead end. We assumed that the next area would either be under the pool or it is a dead end or there is something that we missed.

I decided to swim underwater to find the path or atleast something that would give us a clue about what to do.

I jumped into the cold, cold water. The pool was very big. I couldn't see the end. I swan downside as much as I could, then saw a lever.

I pulled it as hard I could, then when it cinally budged. I swam up.

6 new levers were on the wall with something written on the wall at the end of the room.

I and Amber went to it. Amber said, "I don't recognize these symbols. What do you think they could mean?"

I looked closely at them. I was able to recognize them even though I hadn't seen them ever before. Well, atleast before becoming a Riolu.

I told Amber that I was somehow able to read them. He was suprised.

He said, "Rayce, you can read them! How? Did you read it sometime?"

I replied," No, I didn't, maybe it has something to about my life before, you know, all this happened."

Amber replied, "Maybe. We can't do anything about it. The only who could have answered my question is long gone. I miss him. He gave his life so we could save the world. I miss him. I miss Grovyle, Rayce."

I replied, "Me too."

I turned the 6 levers on. The wall at the end of the room detached itself from the main building and fell in the swimming pool, showing a pathway.

We went in. The path was really long. The walls here had inscriptions on them too.

They included a Lucario and Blaziken pulling levers in a room containing a big swimming pool!

Then there was the Lucario and Blaziken fighting an unknown huge pokemon. It then showed the Blaziken fainting, blood dripping from its hands and legs and the Lucario being beaten really badly, almost to the point of falling unconscious.

I was really nervous. When we reached the next room, all that we saw was a stage, on which was kept a piece of diamond shaped as sun and various pieces of gold acting like the planets.

Our solar system has 5 planets, including ours.

Our planet is the second one from the sun.

The first is a small, red planet which is so near the sun, it has once touched it a few centuries ago, before somehow getting flung a little bit back. It has one moon, which was an asteroid, caught in its gravity.

The second planet is our home.

The third one is a small rocky planet completely covered with water. The water is frozen at night and turns into steam during the day. It has three moons, one is rocky and does not have an atmosphere, one is completely covered with lava and one is has a changing atmosphere during of its revolution that while it faces the sun, it has an atmosphere of oxygen and helium and when it is away from the sun, the gases turn into liquids.

The fourth is a gas giant, and has 5 rocky rings around it. One is nearly on the axis, one on the equator, 2 at the middle of the first two. One is further in space, and moves around one of its 76 moons.

The fifth, and final planet is a rocky one. It is the oldest planet of this solar system. The planet is so away from the sun, that the sun looks like a very distant star when viewed from it. It has a 107 moon. 58 of them meteorites and asteroids, caught by its gravity. 12 of the remaining moons have ice covering most of them throughout the year. 21 of the moons are hard and rocky structures. Out of these 21 moons, 13 do not have atmospheres. Out of remaining 16 moons, 9 are almost always covered in lava, 4 almost always have frozen gases and the remaining three have liquid nitrogen, oxygen, helium and/or neon.

We figured that only one of them would be the Past Piece. I saw those symbols from before again and they said that if we choose the wrong piece, then the entire ruins would collapse. I was concentrating hard. I was thinking. Which piece should I pick?

What would happen next? Which piece will Rayce pick? Will it be the right one? What does Uxie want to tell Rayce and Amber? Stay tuned to find out.
