Previously : Dialga - Go to the other four universes of the world and collect the Time and Space Gears to prevent Arceus's death. You will go there as ghosts. First you will go to the universe that you two created when you changed the future. That future is now a different reality, thus a different universe. All the Dialgas, Giratinas and Palkias of the other worlds' except our's and the future that does not exist's have gone rogue and are encouraging Arceus's hallucinations. So are the Uxies, Mesprits and Azerlfs except your world's.

I can read a language I have never seen before! Or atleast before my amnesia.

I have taken over Mewtwo. He was attacking Grovyle! Everyone except those who know the truth about me think that I am him. Mewtwo was a part of those who supported Arceus's hallucinations. They are holding a meeting and have invited Mewtwo. So I am going as him. Amber is going to take over Suicune for the meeting.

Chapter 5 - Travelling

I and Amber reached Fogbound Lake an hour early. We decided to hide until Suicune showed up and then Amber will take over him. I was trying to remember a dream that I had last night. I couldn't see faces. Two people were screaming. I couldn't deduce who. It was the same dream that I was getting back in my world. Did it mean something? I mean, seeing one dream over and over and over. That's not common. I discussed this with Amber. He said, "It's probably nothing. I used to have repeating dreams too when I was just a baby. It would always be about me falling. I would slip and fall from a cliff. I never saw the end of this dream. I would usually wake up in fright. Don't worry about it. Let's just get back to looking for Suicune." Amber was right. I mean, there's no point in being lost in thoughts about it. I should just get right back to the job.

We waited for half an hour. I saw then, that the Azelf and Mesprit of this world coming for the meeting. Then, 10 minutes later, came Groudon. In 15 minutes we saw Suicune. I cued Amber to go in Suicune. He ran towards him and got in!

He came to me, and we went inside. The entire dungeon was deserted. That happened at every meeting. Uxie would get the pokemon out of there so that no one would hear anything and tell someone! I remember that from Mewtwo's memories. We kept going downstairs until we reached the lake.

Everyone was already there, waiting for "us". Soon as we reached the place, the meeting started. Uxie started, "I have gotten news that the spies have entered our universe and are stealing Time and Space Gears from their homes. And they have been getting aid from someone of this universe. We don't know who it is, but we know that his base is in Treasure Town! My agents had discovered the Time Gears and Space Gears in a house by the side of a cliff at the outskirts of the city. He, however could not bring the gears back as the house's owner was approaching and he was forced to jump into the sea. We haven't been working properly. Especially Mewtwo. He hasn't visited the last 3 meetings we had. He was not at Mt. Raven either. How should we punish him?"

Groudon replied, "Hit him with lava."

Azelf said, "Fling him in the air."

Mesprit said, "Hand him over to Dialga."

Uxie said, "What about you, Suicune? What do you think that we should do do?"

Amber said, "Me... um. I think that we should... um... hand him to Dialga."

I had no idea that these pokemon were so brutal. They are dangerous. I have got to be cautious around them. I knew that Amber supported his answer because Dialga wouldn't hurt me.

Uxie then said, "Alright. Let's hand him to Dialga. He'll decide the punish. Anyway, back to topic. I have decided to come to Treasure Town to find the spies! We'll do it tomorrow at 11 am. 2 of the suspects are a Grovyle and a human. My agent had seen his photo in the house."

We didn't have much time. I and Amber looked at each other in worry. They knew Grovyle's identity. They wouldn't find out about me in my current state. I knew that when we reach the volcano the day after tomorrow, we can't come back. If we will, we'll get caught.

Uxie said that they'll go in the house stealthly, without arousing attention and without wrecking the place as the criminal(s) will find out and run away. So, we didn't have anything to worry about the house. However, we were still worried about Grovyle. Uxie said that next week, everyone would come to Mewtwo's home to do the deed. She hid this from me, but I obviously got the information from Amber. They were saying that they were doing this for Arceus. Liars. They know this themselves. The darkness of the planet's paralysis have not left them yet. They cannot be helped anymore. Only stopped.

After the meeting ended, I and Amber went to the coast where Lapras had already taken Grovyle to the volcano and returned. We went too, and reached the place in just about 2 hours. Lapras moved much faster than I thought. When we reached the place, we noticed Grovyle was at the first floor of the dungeon waiting for us with someone. I couldn't see properly as it was dark. As we neared him, we saw that it was Dusknoir! We got ready to attack but Grovyle stopped us!

What the heck? Why had he suddenly started to trust that criminal? Grovyle then told us that Dusknoir had changed his path and helped him many times and even saved his life twice. We were still cautious. I mean like, someone like Dusknoir couldn't be changed with just words. I instantly decided that he was fooling us.

However, we couldn't just attack him. Grovyle would probably say, "You two are just filled with hatred. Leave him alone."

Grovyle trusts everyone easily. I used to too, until the Darkrai event in my life. I trusted his words and was seriously considering suicide to save the world What if Dusknoir is acting again to steal the Time and Space Gears again... or do something worse? Amber and I decided to keep a close eye on him. After all this, we will come back to gather evidence against him to help Grovyle. Grovyle was carrying a big bag. When we asked about it, he said, "This bag is some supplies if we need to run. Do we?"

I told Grovyle all about what had happened and that we can't go back to Treasure Town right now. He said that there is a Past Piece here. It will come useful in Grovyle's soul separation. We decided to go to Temporal Tower straight away after this trip.

The dungeon was very long. It had 65 floors! The place was dark. It took us almost two days to reach the end. We couldn't see anything. We moved through a small hallway to reach the main room. Suddenly, we saw a light. It was the light of the Space Gear. Someone was in the room. A shadowy figure approached us. Dusknoir used Will-O-Wisp to enable better vision. Why didn't he do that before? We all gasped! It were Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf. As soon as they saw us, Uxie said, "Mewtwo and Suicune. So you're the traitors. I knew something was fishy when Mewtwo stopped coming to the meetings. I knew that this is the only place left on the planet that has a Space Gear now. We decided to wait here instead of look all over the planet for y'all. So, why side with the weaklings? Wanna die with them? Well, you two have come to the right place. I thought you were trustworthy. But you're not. Do you have any last words? If yes, then spit them out immediately."

I knew instantly that Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf didn't know about the soul powers that Dialga, Palkia and Giratina have. I decided to keep the act going, so that they wouldn't come after us after we left. They would be too busy interrogating Mewtwo and Suicune, who wouldn't know anything. I cued Amber and Grovyle all of this. They cued agreement back.

I said, "I did this because it's the right thing. You all wanna destroy the world. You'll die with it."

"No, Mewtwo. I talked to Lord Arceus. Once his dark side will completely gain power over the body, he'll be unstoppable. He told me that his best helpers will get immortality. And much more power than before. I never told anyone except Mesprit and Azelf this so that we will work the best and bag our prizes."

''Suicune" said, "What use is the world if you're alone? Only a few will remain. All those competing for Arceus's trust. Arceus will die, don't you know that."

Azelf said, "No. Only a part of him. His weak part. This world is dying. We just need to give it a final push off the cliff. A new world will be created. One which is perfect. No one will be weak or strong. Rich or poor. Important or unknown. None. Everyone shall be equal. Come back to us. You can do this by handing the Time Gears back. Kill that Grovyle and Dusknoir and tell us the location of Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. Your grades will just restart from thr beginning. We'll forgive you. Just kill them... Amber and Rayce."

What! They knew. How! Damn, I just remembered, Azelf has the power to read minds. The Azelf of our world told me this once. This one must have done it during our conversation. Our cover was broken!

Uxie and Mesprit asked, "What are you calling them? Do you know something we don't?"

Before Azelf could tell them something, I attacked them. My Double Kick hit Azelf in the face. Grovyle and the rest charged too. We defeated them in a few minutes. Grovyle said, "I am going to retrieve the Space Gear and Past Piece." We didn't let Dusknoir come with him. We didn't fully truat the guy still. He suggested, "Azelf's unconscious. I could take his place right now to prevent him from saying anything, if I do it before he wakes up again. What do you two think?" It would be dangerous if Dusknoir got a prominent place in Arceus's goons. But it would be more dangerous if everyone found out about our plans. We said yes. Azelf started to wake up. Before he could do so, Dusknoir quickly entered him. In the meantime, Grovyle came back. We told him what we did. He agreed that it was the best choice we had right now. Grovyle suggested Dusknoir take Azelf to Distortion World and leave him there so he wouldn't be able to tell anyone about this. Then they'll let the Uxie of mine and Amber's world look at Azelf through a portal and take away his memory of knowledge about us then let him go.

I didn't know that multi-universe communication was allowed in the Distortion World. Grovyle said that that is how the legendaries of each universe communicates with each other and Arceus for various matters.

We quickly left the dungeon and reached Lapras. He quickly took us all to the Hidden Land. Dialga was waiting for us at the entrance of the land. He told us that Palkia and Giratina were waiting at Temporal Tower. We quickly reached Temporal Tower with the help of a shortcut that Dialga told us about.

There, we explained to Giratina what had happened at the volcano. He didn't want to open a portal but we told him that all of Arceus's goons will then know about your locations and will come find and attack you. He agreed when we told him this. Giratina opened a portal to the Distortion World and everyone went in. Dusknoir quickly left Azelf. He was still unconscious. Giratina opened a portal to the Fogbound Lake of our world. He told us that we can only see the other universe through this portal. Portals that end in the same universe are the only ones that can be passed through by living things. Only certain pokemon moves can penetrate the portal to pass through. The penetration only occurs for moves and if no one can still go through it. Uxie was sitting on a rock. He saw us and said, "Giratina. Hi. We haven't spoke since we sent Amber and Rayce to your universe. How are they? Is everything okay?"

Giratina said, "They're here and are fine. But we need your help. You see, the Azelf of my world has discovered them. However, we have captured him. Please take away that part of his memories before he can tell anyone about it. You know I can't ask anyone else. My universe's Uxie will certainly not help. I think you know that. This portal can be penetrated by pokemon moves. Please take away that part of his memories."

Uxie said, "I dunno. It might be a bit dangerous. Before I take away someone's memories, I read them. They help me in sorting out the memories. The only time I have done it like this was when I did it thorugh a large distance. It ended up with the host loosing all his memories. That could happen. Either it will be the right memory or all the memories."

I said, "If it will be all the memories, then it will be even better. He wouldn't remember Arceus's other side and we might be able to make him side with us this time."

Uxie said, "No, that won't be the case. What will happen is that every living thing will go berserk. When we were created by Arceus, we were given instructions on governing willpower, emotions and knowledge. Without this, life shall go berserk. Azelf will be unable to do his job, and sanity will be lost. "

Grovyle said, "If you don't do this, then the entire world will be lost."

"Fine. I'll do it. But it's gonna be dangerous. Don't come between the attack. The person might forget who Amber and Rayce is."

Uxie stepped back, took a deep breadth, concentrated, and shot a laser from the ruby shaped orb that she never takes off. It hit Azelf and enveloped him. After a few minutes, the light disappeared and Uxie told us that the job is done and that she had implanted a fake memory in its place. Everyone said goodbye to Uxie. Giratina opened a portal to the mainland where Azelf (still unconscious) was left at.

Everyone got out of the Distortion World and into Spacial Rift. Dialga then asked us about Grovyle's final decision. Grovyle said, "I and Dusknoir have decided to come." What! No, that crook can't come with us. I was about to say that when Palkia said, "Dusknoir? He cannot come. He is already a ghost. We can't take the soul out of a soul."

Grovyle said, "That is why it will be easier to have him come too. He will not need to get his soul extracted."

Dialga said, "That is the problem. Although Amber, Rayce and Dusknoir are all ghosts, there's a difference in the structure of Dusknoir and Amber and Rayce. You see, Amber and Rayce are ghosts who are not made of matter whereas Dusknoir is. The soul of a living thing is never made up of matter. It is always a form of anti-matter which is made xompatible with matter. Dusknoir will be destroyed in the other universes. Just like when you all were about to when the future was extracted from the other universe to change it in that one, instead it will complete itself. Rayce was dead. The Dialga of his world brought him back after taking Giratina's help. We won't be able to bring him back, since he didn't die in our universe. Only you can come Grovyle. I hope you and Dusknoir will understand."

Dusknoir said, "Fine... . I won't go. Grovyle, you go on without me. I'll stay and try to help from here."

Giratina said, "Are you ready Grovyle? This might hurt."

Grovyle said, "Believe me, I know pain. I have almost died once. Let us begin."

Dialga, Palkia and Giratina formed a semi circle around him with him as the diameter. They used the Past Piece of their world and read the inscriptions on it. Suddenly Grovyle's body was lifted about 3 inches in the air. He screamed loudly. He fell on the ground. He did not get up. A blue ray emitted from his body. It was Grovyle's soul! Everything was going according to plan.

Giratina said, "Now, this time, you all shall go to the Barren World. Like you already know, ver few pokemon live there, near the equator, and those are primitive species. There are obviously other us and other Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf and Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza and Mew and Mewtwo. The equator is flourishing with ancient pokemon, like Archeops, Cradily, Armaldo, etc. Only a few modern species are there. They are Relicanth, Lapras, Feebas, Magikarp and Machop. That's it. Those are the only species that were in that time and this. And, of course, their evolutions too."

I asked, "Alright. But I have to ask, what about the Gears?"

Giratina said, "We'll keep them safe. When you have gotten them from all the universes, you'll be given those back to use at Arceus's home."

Amber then asked, "You all never told us the reason for collecting these Gears. How will they help?"

Dialga said, "These Gears are keys to Arceus's home at Mt. Coronet from Rayce's and Grovyle's home world. They'll open the path to it, when you insert them at the top of that mountain. However, that place is also the entrance to that universe's Dialga, Palkia and Giratina's home. So, when you'll go there, be careful. That world doesn't have a Temporal Tower. That Dialga has his own world, like the Spacial Rift."

Palkia asked, "Are you three ready?"

We all replied, "Yes."

Giratina opened a portal to the Distortion World. Palkia then said, "Leave those bodies in there. We'll get them home." We did that.

Giratina then said, "Neither us in that world are with you nor Uxie, Mesprit or Azelf. Your only support is Celebi, Mew and Mewtwo. We noted that. Dialga then said, "Close your eyes."

We did that. Suddenly I felt a pierce in my eyes. I wanted to, but didn't open them. Then I felt being lifted, and then weightless, and then being thrown. I opened my eyes. We were in the portal. We were in that thing for about half an hour. At the end, we suddenly stopped moving, and fell. We were falling for about a minute, before we landed at a forest. When my head stopped spinning, I looked around. It was dark. Someone was approaching us. It was Celebi! She saw us, and said, "Good, you three are here. So, your job in the other universe is finished, right?"

Amber said, "Where are we? My head feels like it will burst any second."

Celebi said, "You are in my universe now. This is a forest. This location in other universes is called Dusk Forest. You must know or have atleast have heard about it, right?"

Grovyle said, "Yes, we've been here before."

Celebi then asked, "How many universes are left?"

I replied, "We have finished 2 universes. 3 are left, including this one."

Celebi said, "Alright, let's get down to business, shall we. This universe is still primitive. Many Time Gears and Space Gears are not here. You don't need to take much from this universe. Only 2 Time Gears and 3 Space Gears."

Grovyle said, "Just that much. Is it enough?"

Celebi replied, "Yes. This universe is very young and small. It does not yet have the capacity to hold many Gears."

Grovyle asked, "But my universe is younger. Only a few years old. But it still has more Time and Space Gears than this universe."

Celebi then said, "That is because your universe isn't young. It is a part of Rayce and Amber's world. It has all the features of that unicerse. The history of both the universes is the same up till the point of when they divided into two. They were the same till then. The two universes branched out from a single one to become two. They are more compatible with each other than Rayce's and Amber's world and its pair. That is what is slowing the end of the world. If their compatibility would not be very, very strong, then we would have died by now. Anyway, back on topic. We need 2 Time Gears and 3 Space Gears. And lucky for you, one of them is here. I have it with me here. 1 Time Gear down."

Grovyle asked, "Great. What is the location of the remaining Gear?"

Celebi said, "The remaining Time Gear is at Fogbound Lake."

We all were shocked. If we go there, we'll get caught. I told this opinion to Celebi. She said, "I know, but it's the only choice we have. The few other Gears of this planet are in areas just too cold. No one can go there."

Everyone gave in. No use asking for a different place. I asked, "What about the Space Gears?"

Celebi said, "I'm afraid there is bad news on thid topic. Most of the Space Gears are under Palkia's protection. Since he's not with us, he has taken all of his Space Gears to Spacial Rift."

I , in shock, said, "What! Now, what will we do? Infiltrate Spacial Rift. It's impossible."

Celebi said, "Nope. Actually, there is a way. You three can take over some of Palkia's goons. Palkia has got them from Arceus. So, they are super trustworthy for Palkia. You'll eventually wind up in the Spacial Rift. He has 10 pokemon working directly under him. They are a Zoroark, a Dusknoir, a Swampert, an Emboar, a Dragonite, a Charizard, a Machamp, a Sceptile, an Infernape and a Typhlosion. You can take over of these pokemon's place. Act like them. You get their memories when you possess them, right. That would allow flawless acting of them. Do whatever you're told to do just like your body's pokemon will do. Eventually, you must reach Spacial Rift. Once at that place, look for the Space Gears and when you find them, grab them quick and return to me."

I said, "Got it. But for how long will we have to pose as the pokemon?"

Celebi said, "Can't say. It could be just minutes and hours or days and weeks. The pokemon come to Resort Town for supplies once per week. You can get them there. Mewtwo, who works as a double agent with the other pokemon says that they'll come tomorrow evening. So, you should reach the town quick. Oh, and sometimes Palkia's goons also go to Fogbound Lake to deliver messages. You can get the Time Gear at that time. When you do, come straight here, hand me the Gear, and change bodies, just for safety. We all know that most legendary pokemon can see your souls as well, so never leave bodies in front of them."

Amber said, "Got it. Thanks for the advice."

We left for Resort Town immediately. The path was very long. It took us almost 7 hours to reach the town. It was midnight till then. We were too tired. We went to the city outskrits. There was a very small cave there. We went in, and set up camp there with supplies we gathered from the nearby area. We too tired to even discuss tomorrow's plan. We just fell asleep as soon as we touched the bed. When we woke up, it was afternoon. We decided to go, take a look around town and survey the area properly. Most of the pokemon there were ancient pokemon. Only a few Magikarp and a Machop were pokemon that were common in my universe and found in this one. The city was very undeveloped. The buildings were in a state of disrepair, roads were not made properly and buildings were cramped in a small place.

We suddenly saw a Sceptile, an Emboar, a Machamp, an Infernape and a Dusknoir coming to town and talkinga about Palkia. They were the ones about whom Celebi was talking. We decided to act when the pokemon split up into 2 groups to finish their jobs better. The 1st group was Machamp, Sceptile and Infernape. The 2nd group was a Dusknoir and Emboar. We decided to follow the 1st group. They went to the General store to buy supplies while the 2nd group went to the Storage Shop. After the 1st group finished their shopping and left back for their base, we made our move. I went after the Machamp, Grovyle went the Sceptile while Amber did the same with the Infernape. We were successful. The pokemons' names were -

Machamp - Energy

Sceptile - Grass

Infernape - Fire

Emboar - Flame, and

Dusknoir - Spirit.

We decided to go back to Area Cave (where these pokemon were headed), and Palkia was waiting. The Emboar, Flame, and the Dusknoir, Spirit did not have suspicions at the cave's entrance. We reached the end of the cave, and waited for an hour before Palkia finally arrived.

What will happen when Palkia arrives? How will they finally get the Time and Space Gears? Stay tuned to find out.
