Happy Independence Day from your favorite Canadian author! Lol JK I'm not even my favorite Canadian author...
"Long time no see, Ash!"
"Yeah, it has been a while. How's it going, Dialga?"
Dialga smiled. "Oh, about the usual. You know, keeping time in check and helping your legendaries."
I nodded. "Yeah, thanks again for doing that, it's helped me a lot. I'd be clueless on how to train them if it weren't for you." I said. Dialga brushed it off, waving a paw and saying,
"Oh it was nothing. As a matter of fact I like doing it!" Dialga said.
Ash scoffed, "I wouldn't say training a bunch of legendaries is nothing. Seriously, thanks a lot. Is there anything I could do for you as thanks?"
Dialga quickly shook his head, saying, "Well... Actually, nevermind. It's nothing."
Ash, however, didn't want to let him brush the subject off that easily. "C'mon Dialga. Whatever it is that you were about to say, I would love to do it."
"Well, on Sky Island, there is an orb that is rather important to me hidden somewhere on the island. I would go myself, but I'd rather not leave this island in case of an emergency."
Ash nodded, understanding. "So you want me to find the Adamant Orb somewhere on Sky Island? That actually works out, I was heading there next anyway."
Dialga nodded, but then recoiled and asked, "Wait. How'd you know I was talking about the Adamant Orb?" Ash shrugged.
"I remember that orb being important to you from Team Galactic." Dialga nodded.
"Oh, alright."
Ash stood up from where he was sitting.
"Well, I'd better get going. The Adamant Orb and new friends await me! I'll see you later Dialga. Thanks again for everything."
Dialga raised a leg in a farewell gesture. "Alright Ash. Good luck!"
Ash was taking one last once-over on his Pokemon on supplies. He brushed his hand over his belt, checking to see if his seven chosen Pokemon were present. Once he confirmed that Kabutops, Aerodactyl, Glalie, Swellow, Torkoal, Aurorus, and Goodra were secured on his belt, he brushed his hand over his pocket, making sure that Metagross' Pokeball was in there. A powerhouse team, that was for sure, but he had them for a reason. All the Pokemon on this specific team were Alpha-Ranks, so he wanted to see how they would hold up against an Alpha-Rank Legendary. This wouldn't happen more than once or twice more before he completed the islands, but he still wanted to test his and his team's strength. He instinctively checked his shoulder for Pikachu, only to remember that he was sitting this island out due to his electric attacks being prone to hit everything in the air. Plus the little mouse had a fear of heights, so this was one of two islands that he was staying back on.
You see, Hoopa had warped in about an hour prior to let Ash know that the majority of the island was sky-based, meaning that Ash needed some kind of aerial transport. Sure, he could've rode Aerodactyl, but he'd rather have him be able to participate in battles, plus Metagross could use Psychic to catch him if he fell. And if for some reason, that failed too, Ash had Latios' Pokeball clipped onto a necklace. Since he had already used the older of the Eon Pokemon during the last island, he didn't want to use him unless absolutely necessary. Also, in his bag he had his Pokedex, which Professor Sycamore had long since upgraded to be able to detect Mega Stones. He figured that it would work on the Adamant Orb, since he had once had to use it to find the Red and Blue Orbs before Team Magma and Team Aqua.
Once he knew he had everything ready, he waved goodbye to his Pokemon who were watching him depart in the training field, and jumped into the portal.
A couple seconds later, Ash found himself lying facedown in grass. Turning over to get a better view, he saw that he was near the middle of a clearing surrounded by dense woods. Squinting, he could catch many glimpses of nests scattered around the branches and treetops. Standing up to get a better look, he saw that the entire island was shaped like an upside-down cone, with the clearing being in the middle. He could see the treetops steadily rising in every direction, and the further he looked, the more Flying-Type Pokemon he could see. Exited, he turned around and was going to release Metagross until he saw something that left his jaw on the ground.
About ten feet in front of him was a tree bigger than most mountains. But it wasn't tall and thin. No, the tree was thicker than most Wailords, and stretched until Ash couldn't see it anymore because of a thick layer of clouds.
'I've got to climb that'
An hour of climbing later, Ash was sitting on a branch that was higher than most peaks, looking out over the island. From this height, he could see that he was wrong about the shape of the island- it was totally flat, perfect circle. The treetops just got higher the closer you got to the edges of the island, creating the illusion of a funnel shape. Looking up, Ash was hit with a wave of vertigo, driving the trainer to tighten his grip on the branches. He was still not above the clouds yet, but he was determined to make it there. Scooting past a nest of newborn Starlys, he shimmied back to the trunk and began his ascent once again.
A while later, he was nearing the cloud layer. The Pokemon nests had became more and more sparse as he climbed, making Ash wonder if he was going to find any Pokemon above the clouds or if this entire trip was a waste. Deciding against starting the trek back down, he continued climbing until he finally hit the cloud layer. As soon as he poked his head into the clouds, it was soaked and cold, and he couldn't see anything. Calling out Metagross for support, he felt around for any branches higher than him. Finding one to his upper left, he grabbed it and pulled himself up and over the clouds. What awaited him was a sight that he would never forget.
Every Flying-Type Pokemon Ash had ever seen was flying around up here in the stratosphere, battling, conversing, or doing tricks that looked like they came out of a Pokemon Circus. Snapping himself out of it, he looked up one more time and saw that the top of the tree was a mere ten feet above him. Squinting, he could see a piece of paper secured between two branches at the very top. Climbing the last bit, he wrapped one arm around the tree and grabbed the paper with the other. Quickly reading it, he pulled out a match and burned the paper. Because instead of a congratulations note or a coupon to somewhere, it was a simple note from Hoopa.
'Wow. Such climb. Many branch. Go you.'
Shaking his head at the Mischief Pokemon and clambering onto Metagross, he directed her over to a Braviary that caught his eye. It stuck out to him because instead of the regular red and white color scheme or the blue and white color scheme of a shiny Braviary, this one had a blue head with white dots, a white body, and its wings were striped red and white.
"What the he-" Metagross began, but was cut off by the most majestic sound Ash had ever heard- the Braviary squawking. The sound was pure and vaguely reminded Ash of freedom, although that didn't make sense to him. Either way though, Ash knew he had to capture this one.
"Glalie! I choose you!" Out from the ball came Ash's first Ice-Type, ready to battle and already dropping the temperature. Instantly, Braviary sprung into action, shooting a...
"Okay. What in the hell is going on. Is that a black Bullet Seed? And is he firing them from his wings?" Ash stammered.
Metagross was almost speechless as well, only giving a shake of her head (or body) in response.
The attack didn't do much more than stun Glalie, who didn't even wait for Ash's orders to know to retaliate with an Ice Beam. Shooting the beam from his mouth, Glalie froze Braviary's wings and the poor bird plummeted down to the earth.
"OH SHIT! Latios! I need your help! Metagross and Glalie, return!" Preforming a feat that would make most aviators jealous, Ash jumped off of the fading form of Metagross and onto the still-appearing Latios. Leaning into his neck, the two shot down after Braviary and eventually caught up to the bird. As they were falling/flying neck and neck, Ash was desperately trying to think of a plan. Eventually, he settled on the simple one.
"Psychic!" he yelled over the wind.
Instantly, Braviary was enveloped in a purple coating, slowing his descent to a safe pace and breaking the ice on its wings. Still though, Ash held his breath until both parties were safely on the ground, where Braviary didn't know what it wanted to say to Ash. On one hand, it was grateful that the trainer saved him from some heavy damage, but on the other hand, the trainer was the one to cause the damage anyway. Eventually though, he decided on pecking an empty Pokeball, using some of its powers to turn the ball into a sphere that matched his color scheme. Staring at the now-multicolored sphere that housed the strange Braviary, Ash didn't even try to make a comment on it. The only think that he could say was,
"Well, that happened. Lets just go find Dialga's Adamant Orb." Without waiting for a response, he recalled Latios and started walking in a random direction.
The first shrine Ash came across was pretty huge. It was a large dip in the otherwise perfectly flat ground that was devoid of any plant life. Instead, two streams of red and silver water snaked around the lowered ground leading to a small shrine in the middle which housed what seemed to be two artifacts that Ash couldn't identify due to a stone casing around the outside of both of the relics. Ash slowly walked up to the shrine, taking in the beauty of the area before slowly reaching his hand out towards the stone objects. As his fingers stretched closer, he was bombarded with memories of his first day as a trainer, Tin Tower, the Whirl Islands, and Shamouti Island. Finally, after what seemed like a week of reliving his memories, he touched the stone relic...
...And was immediately sucked up in a tornado.
"SURPRISE MOTHAFUCKA" Came a shrieking voice from outside the tornado he was currently bouncing around in. Oddly enough, the tornado didn't seem to be doing any damage to him or the surroundings, at least thats what he thought of the blurry images he saw through the wind. Managing to force his hand to his belt, he pressed the first Pokeball he touched and hoped for the best. His prayer was answered a moment later when Goodra emerged and dropped to the ground. Seeing the danger her trainer was in, Goodra launched a Twister to counteract the tornado.
The move was actually a stroke of genius by Goodra. She had mastered the attack to such a degree that she could control the direction the move spun in, effectively counteracting the tornado Ash was in and freeing him from the wind's grasp. Once he was back on the ground, he looked up at the only Pokemon that could've caused that twister-
"Tornadus."
"Wassup? I've been waiting around for a while now. You know, waiting for you to get to one of these shrines and such. Now that your here, lets battle already!"
Without waiting for an answer, Tornadus launched an Air Cutter at Goodra, which was countered by a Dragon Pulse, which both dispersed the Air Cutter and managed to hit Tornadus for some decent damage.
Shrugging the damage off, Tornadus charged at Goodra with a Brick Break, which Goodra sidestepped. Unfortunately, it was a feint, and Tornadus used Grass Knot when Goodra was in midair, catching the dragon-type's leg and slamming her against the ground, using her own weight against her. Shaking her leg out of the trap, Goodra rose slowly to her feet with a look of determination in her eyes.
And then she went to sleep.
Ash smiled.
"Sleep Talk- Thunder!"
Goodra, along with every other one of Ash's Pokemon, had trained extensively to be able to control the move that followed up using the 'random' attack, creating a true force to be reckoned with. While Tornadus was charging in with a Brick Break, Goodra suddenly shot up and met him with a Thunder, surprising Tornadus and doing heavy damage to the genie. Still though, it was not enough to put him out, so Ash said,
"Sleep Talk- Substitute!"
Following his command, Goodra disappeared into some pocket dimension, leaving behind a large stuffed animal for Tornadus to attack. Suddenly, the Substitute's mouth opened and a Flamethrower shot out, hitting Tornadus and doing minor damage. Unfortunately for Tornadus, though, the Thunder attack that followed it up did massive damage. Enough to knock it out, as a matter of a fact. Reaching in his side pocket, he grabbed a normal Ultra Ball and tossed it at Tornadus, capturing it.
Looking behind him at the still-undamaged shrine, he saw that the stone casing around the artifacts had crumbled, leaving behind what Ash knew to be a Silver Wing and a Rainbow Wing. Ash's eyes widened at seeing the two infinitely valuable items here, but shrugged it off, chalking their appearance here as yet another unexplained oddity in the Pokemon universe. Suddenly, Ash heard a voice calling out to him.
"Hey Ash!" Winona called out to him. Looking around, he couldn't find her, until he heard giggling above him. "Up here, you doofus!" Looking up, Ash saw Winona sitting on a strong-looking Staraptor, clutching something in her arms. When the Staraptor landed, Ash got a good glimpse of what the former Gym Leader was holding. In her hands was a Soul Dew, which was constantly shifting colors, like water in a glass container.
"A couple minutes ago I was exploring some weird shrine and then all this stone crumbled just out of nowhere, leaving this behind! It never had happened when I was exploring any of the other ruins, so I figured that someone else must've caused it. And, well, you've got an affinity for trouble. So I came looking, and here you are!" Winona happily said, shoving the Soul Dew into his hands.
"Th-Thanks! So there are more of these around here?" Ash asked. When Winona nodded, Ash asked, "You didn't happen to see one with any decorations relation to time or space, did you?" Winona shook her head, confused.
"No, I can't say that I have. Why?" She asked.
"Eh, not much, just an errand for someone. Anyway, I have someone who might want to see this Soul Dew here." Pulling his necklace out of his shirt, he released Latios, who instantly started nudging the Soul Dew in Ash's hands.
"You have a Latios?" Winona asked, shocked.
"Uh, yeah. I've actually got quite a bit of legendaries, so you might want to get used to them. Heck, you'll capture a fair bit yourself- I think around nine legendaries are flying-typed. Thats a pretty good haul, especially since you have Pokemon like Ho-Oh, Lugia, Rayquaza, and the Kanto Bird trio in there. She nodded.
"Yeah, I still haven't quite gotten over the fact that I'll be capturing legendaries myself. Well, it was good talking to you, but I'm gonna go back to my house and train. If you're interested, it's going to be build around the bottom of the massive tree in the middle of the island. Well, see ya!" And then she flew off on her Staraptor.
Well, that was nice seeing her, wasn't it Lati- LATIOS WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" Ash yelled. The Eon Pokemon was using Crunch on the Stone, breaking the priceless artifact into two smaller Soul Dews.
"Latias needs one. We absorb these, you know..." Ash scratched the back of his head, apologizing, "Oh. Sorry Latios, I thought you were destroying it."
"It's okay Ash. No harm done."
A few minutes later, Ash was walking through another part of the forest when he came upon another dip in the ground. However, instead of the red and silver streams that snaked around the GS Shrine- as Ash had taken to calling it- three multicolored streams of water ran through the dip, which had a marble floor this time instead of a dirt floor like the other one. Instead, the streams were strikingly pure shades of blue, red, and green. Taking care to not disturb the smooth water, Ash made his way up to the center of the dip. As he walked, he was again bombarded by memories, but this time they were of Monsoon Island, Sky Pillar, Desser City, and Teams Aqua and Magma. When he snapped out of his thoughts, he saw that he had been subconsciously walking closer and closer to the shrine, almost to the point where he was touching the objects in the stone shrine. Looking into it, he saw that there were three spheres, two of which Ash recognized: The Red and Blue Orbs. However, the third sphere shone with a bright green color. He figured the orb had something to do with Rayquaza, like the others had a correlation with Groudon and Kyogre. Grabbing all the orbs one by one, Ash deposited them into his infinitely huge bag and continued moving.
About thirty seconds later, Ash saw a Dodrio resting under a tree. Eager to capture the bird, he jogged up to it and tapped it's middle head, waking the groggy bird up. Slowly, its six eyes opened and snapped to attention as they noticed Ash standing before them. Standing up, the Dodrio ran about ten yards and then turned around, lowering its body into what Ash deemed to be a fighting stance. Smirking, Ash released Torkoal to battle the bird. When the tortoise popped out from his ball, Ash started the battle.
"Flamethrower!" He began, gesturing at the flying-type. "Then use a Stone Edge!" The fire-type opened his mouth and shot a stream of red-hot flame at Dodrio, which the bird calmly jumped over while running at Torkoal. However, the bird couldn't dodge the Stone Edge that erupted from the ground right under it as it was still in midair, and so Dodrio was hit straight-on by the super-effective attack. Unfortunately for Torkoal though, Dodrio quickly got up and continued it's charge at the fire-type, beaks glowing in the familiar light of Drill Peck. Seeing this, Ash hastily yelled, "Protect!" A barrier shot up around the turtle, but not soon enough, as Dodrio had already closed the gap and was actually inside the Protect, allowing the bird to bombard Torkoal with Drill Pecks.
Ash wasn't too worried though. Torkoal had a massive defense stat, allowing him to take the attacks from Dodrio without too much pain. Still though, eventually it would do some damage, so Ash called, "Fire Blast!" While the tortoise was still being hit with Drill Pecks and the occasional Mega Kick, the pokemon opened his mouth and hit Dodrio with a point blank blast of fire, knocking Dodrio out.
Ash pumped his fist.
"Alright! Good job Torkoal!" He exclaimed, lobbing a Pokeball at the felled flying type.
The day had gone on, and Ash had collected many other artifacts in various other shrines across the island. He now had the Red, Blue, and Jade Orbs, the Azure Flute, Light and Dark Stones, and the Reveal Glass, but he still had no sign of the Adamant Orb or the shrine it was housed in. 'Unless it's not even in a shrine and its buried somewhere' the back part of Ash's mind said. He shuddered at the thought, shaking his head to clear it out. No, the Orb had to be here somewhere... Aha!
Up ahead about ten yards, there was one last dip in the ground. Running over to it, he saw that the shrine in the middle had three indents, each with a different shaped Orb. Indeed, Cyrus would've been jealous, because not only was the Adamant Orb here, but the Lustrous and Griseous Orbs were there as well. Quickly grabbing the Orbs and putting them in his sack, he shifted his mind to his next objective: Finding Lugia. On a whim, he grabbed the Silver Wing from his sack and held it up. Suddenly, a breeze picked up. The breeze got stronger and stronger until it picked Ash up and flew him though the air to the edge of the island. Once the breeze dropped him, he looked around the beach, Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, unless you counted the massive Lugia sitting on the beach staring down at him.
"You called?" Lugia asked.
"Uh, I think. Are you the Lugia from Shamouti, or the Whirl Islands, or..?"
"Shamouti. It's nice to see you again, Ash. So you're here to battle me? Are you sure that your ready? I'm not exactly weak." Lugia said.
Ash nodded. "You know, to be honest, I'm not sure if I'm ready for this. But I guess theres really no way to know unless I try. So, with that in mind, Kabutops, I choose you!" When the revived fossil emerged from the Heavy Ball, Lugia wasted no time in attacking, picking Kabutops up and slamming him against the ground before the rock-type was even fully orientated. Ash grit his teeth.
"Ugh! Kabutops, use a Night Slash to break out!" Somehow, Kabutops swung his scythes around while coating them in a dark energy, using said energy to break the Psychic's hold.
Ash smirked. "Perfect!" He cheered. "Now use another Night Slash on Lugia!" The fossil pokemon charged forward at the legendary, scythes still cloaked in the dark energy, disrupting any Psychic Lugia tried to throw at them, and was almost two feet away from Lugia when the legendary shot an Aeroblast at him.
"JUMP!" Ash screamed. Kabutops instantly complied, jumping up and over the Aeroblast.
"Now Rock Blast!" Ash followed up. As Lugia was turning his head up to look at Kabutops, the rock-type blasted a barrage of rocks at the legendary, doing heavy super-effective damage due to Lugia's part flying typing. However, the legendary was quick to retaliate with a Surf attack, smashing Kabutops with a massive wave which knocked him back a solid twenty yards and did heavy super-effective damage as well. Ash grit his teeth. Lugia was truly in a whole different league than pokemon like Tornadus and Registeel. Still though, Ash wouldn't give up. Looking down, he put his hand up to his head and slowly turned his hat backwards.
Snapping his head upwards, he looked at Lugia with a new fire burning in his eyes. Smirking, he pointed at the legendary and yelled,
"Rock Wrecker!" Summoning a massive boulder from the sand, Kabutops shot it at Lugia. The legendary was quick to shoot an Air Cutter at it, slowly breaking the boulder as it flew at him. Ash smirked. This was exactly what he wanted Lugia to do. Pointing at Lugia with a flourish, he yelled,
"Jump through it and use a Night Slash!"
Complying, Kabutops jumped through the boulder just as it broke two feet away from Lugia's face and hit the bird with a Night Slash, dealing massive damage. Then, the fossil Pokemon shot many green vine-looking things at Lugia, which latched onto the bird and started transferring Lugia's energy to Kabutops. Ash smirked.
"Let's finish this! Use the vines to slam Lugia into the ground and then use STONE EDGE!" Using the vines that were already attached to the legendary, Kabutops jerked his scythes in a downward motion and Lugia fell right into a Stone Edge, finally pushing the legendary over the edge and knocking him out.
As Ash looked at Lugia's unconscious body, he could only think one thing as he collapsed to his knees.
'I defeated a Lugia. No. WE defeated Lugia.'
Back at home, Ash was telling the story of the island to all the Pokemon who weren't there, Kabutops, Torkoal, Glalie, Latios, Goodra, and Metagross interjecting every once and a while with their sides of the tale, including Lugia's defeat at the hands of Kabutops, and the weird Braviary who was currently flying around with his other Flying-Types, which now included Lugia as well. He was still in a stupor over having the legendary on his team. Sure, he had many other legendaries, but to have the very same legendary who first showed Ash the power of the beasts was absolutely amazing. (Mewtwo and Mew did, but he didn't remember that until Kalos.) Speaking of his new flying-types, Dodrio was actually getting along quite well with Ash's normal and fire types. The bird was playing some sort of running game with Typhlosion and his thirty Tauros, and seemed to be enjoying himself. He would've stood there forever with his Pokemon, but he knew he wasn't done for today. Not yet. So calling Empoleon over, Ash gathered his stuff and swam to Steel Island.
"Ash! How'd Flying Island go?" Dialga called over to him once he arrived.
"It was great! I caught this really odd Braviary and a Dodrio. Plus I got Tornadus and a bunch of legendary artifacts!"
"Awesome! So does that mean that you got the Adamant Orb?" Dialga inquired with glee. In response, Ash opened his bag and pulled out the Orb, tossing it over to Dialga, who had a massive grin on his face.
"YES! I've been wanting this back for sooooo long. It was a horrible idea to let Hoopa know where I kept it." Ash laughed too.
"Oh! I almost forgot! I caught Lugia too!" At this, the cavern went silent. Not even the few steel-types that were milling around dared to move after what Ash just said. Finally, Dialga snapped out of his shock and said,
"Come again?"
Ash nodded. "Yeah, it was a really hard battle, but eventually Kabutops defeated Lugia and I caught him!" After this, Dialga was silent.
'Has he really come that far that fast? If he were to challenge me right now, could I defeat him? What about in a month, or whenever he comes back? Will I even stand a chance against him?' The primal being thought. Concerned, Ash asked,
"Dialga, are you okay?"
Breaking himself out of it, Dialga put on a fake smile and replied,
"What? Oh, yes, I'm fine. Just thinking, thats all." Dialga was relieved when Ash seemed to buy it, and decided to continue after a long pause.
"Well anyway, do you want to see what Primal Dialga looks like? I know I want to." Ash grinned like a madman.
"Heck yeah! Do it!" He exclaimed. Dialga smiled
"Alright. Lets do it." After he said that, Dialga closed his eyes, concentrating. Suddenly, the Time Pokemon erupted in a bright blue light, forcing Ash to look away. When the light died down and Ash could see clearly again, a completely different Dialga was standing there.
Starting with his chest, the left side of the star-like armor on his chest now had enolngagated spikes on the right side. His legs had sharper and longer silver armor as well, and his tail shrunk a good deal. The armor that was previously on his back shifted upwards into what looked like wings, and his head had a different armor design on it as well.
(www_deviantart_com/art/Mega-Primal-Dialga-484507582)
"Well, what do you think?"
"Holy shit."
Suddenly, a third voice rang out.
"Ash? And is that a DIALGA?"
_Steven POV_
I was ecstatic. Giddy, even, like a child in a candy factory. Arceus had paid me a visit, which in itself, was pretty humbling and epic, but then he said that he'd create me a mansion on the island! I had heard Ash say something similar earlier, but I was still recovering from the warp lag to fully comprehend it. So when I gave Arceus a design for my dream lab that I carried around as a good luck charm, I almost fainted when not a minute later I was walking through the very house I had drawn as a teenager. Of course, I had made some modifications over the years, but I could never have dreamed to be able to afford anything like this.
I was walking down a tunnel in a basement room specifically dedicated for underground tunnels and mining when I came across a massive cavern filled with steel beams and floodlights. Confused, I glanced down at my floor plan- this wasn't a part of it. However, my shock only grew when I looked up and saw Ash casually chatting with a creature that looked like a Dialga. Wondering if I was seeing things, I called out,
"Ash? And is that a DIALGA?"
I saw Ash whip his head around and Dialga look up at me, so I continued.
"Oh, that is you. I thought I was seeing things," I said, walking over to the duo. Ash titled his head, a confused look on his face. Upon my query, he simply stated,
"Out of everything here, you thought you were hallucinating me instead of this Dialga here?" I shrugged.
"I don't know. I guess that I've seen so many weird things that they just don't even faze me anymore. Especially when you're involved." I added, smirking at the trainer, who sheepishly rubbed his head.
"Well, what can I say? Strange things just happen when I'm here! Anyway, this is Primal Dialga. I'm pretty sure that this is the first one ever seen, but I could be wrong. From what I understand, most legendaries have Primal Forms, or their True forms as Dialga called it. I guess in recent times they had to tone down their power or something like that," Ash explained, looking at Dialga for confirmation. When the Pokemon nodded, he continued.
"They don't use Mega Stones, like Charizard and Audino use, they use artifacts that are important to them." I nodded, understanding what Ash was saying... But,
"Is it okay if I study you, Dialga?" The beast chuckled.
"No, you can't. But you can definitely study a Dialga when you catch one." With that, another, smaller Dialga walked out from the shadows.
_Clemont POV_
"...Rock down to Electric Avenue. And then we'll take it higher." I sang, trying to keep my excitement down to a certain degree. Unfortunately, it didn't really do much to curb my adrenaline rush, which had only increased when Arceus had appeared after I caught my tenth Pokemon to build me my dream mansion, which was a simple, two-story house.
With a massive, sprawling network of labs beneath it, of course. I glanced over at my Manetric, who was socializing with my other Pokemon in the training field I had for them in the underground. The canine was currently shifting between his Mega Form and his Normal Form, thanks to a new invention of mine that emitted the same pulse of energy a Key Stone does, but keeps it constant and at a low level, allowing any Pokemon to switch to their Mega Forms so long as they have their Mega Stone. Looking away, my mind raced through thousands of potential schematics and training methods.
This was going to be a fun time.
Before I start with the actual AN, I just want to say something. In this fic, I'll be using fake Mega Pokemon that I think are really cool. And most of those pokemon happen to come from a Deviant Art user by the name of Phatmon66. I can't claim to personally know her, but her work is really good, so go check her out! I actually stumbled across her when I was googling Primal Dialga so that I could explain it as well as possible, and then I found that gem. I'm going to be using her other two Creation Trio Megas as well, so go check those out too :) I won't be using every single mega on her account, just my favorites, so yeah! Keep up the good work, Phatmon66!
Anyway, thats all it for my rant on her. ONTO REVIEWS!
The Creator:
Thanks a billion for reviewing again! Woo! Its actually funny that you mention Ho-Oh in Heartgold, because I thought the same thing when I caught Raikou and Entei in the first part of that game! XD. Well, I'll give you one reason Giovanni can't be the Ground-Type master: Would you trust the leader of Team Rocket to wield the power of legendaries and every ground-type Pokemon? Yeah, me neither. So thats why I'm looking for the OC. And about your question, I'd rank it... OVER 9000! Seriously, the anime has so much damn potential that they use for one movie and then are like, "fuck it. lets just throw this away." He could've gone into the SILVER CONFERENCE WITH A FUCKING LATIAS, MEWTWO, AND AN ARMY OF CLONES! But thats why I'm here, I guess. So thank you, anime writers, for fucking everything up, or else this story would be pretty much anime canon XD.
And about Zero... Holy shit man. I LOVE HER! As soon as I read the review, I was like, holy shit. This is what I need. She's already in. Seriously though, I already wrote part of the island where she'll show up... Just a little spoiler: She's chilling with another Rocket experiment right now... :D And is Azumarill an okay signature for her?
And yeah, I'd love to wreck you in a Pokemon battle! :P My friend code is 1289-8608-6655!
'Guest'(s?): Don't worry about the Darkrai in the list. If you know Ash has one, then the list still did it's job. End. And maybe :) You'll find out soon. Or not. I don't know yet when I'll write another segment for her. Oh, and calm down about me and updating. I'll update whenever I'm home, and whenever I write the chapter.
TheGamingPyro: Thanks for submitting your OC! Mark caught my eye when I read it, so theres a pretty good chance that you'll see him here. The only other thing I need from you is a last name. Sableye is a pretty cool pokemon- one of my favorites, actually. So unless someone comes up with an OC that is literally the most amazing character I've ever seen for the dark type, Mark's in.
Tony0423: Thanks for leaving me your first review! Hazel is pretty interesting, so she may make it into the fic :) I already have ideas for a completely legendary-level Igglybuff absolutely ahnilating the competition XD. And Rota! That's a pretty interesting choice! I LIKE IT!
Snowwolf12132: Hey! Thanks for calling the story cool! It really means more to me than you guys will ever know. I like your OC. Gregory is a pretty slick character, and is what I was looking for in a dark-type trainer. And I like the cities that you guys are coming up with for your trainers. I'm glad no ones going with the stereotypical towns like Pallet or New Bark and stuff.
MegaHeracross214: A Steelix? That's a Steel Type. I mean, sure, the Mega Form is part Ground, but the actual Pokemon is a Steel-Type. I don't have anything against that, its just that its not the right type. Oh. And Driftveil City, Sinnoh? Still though, Quartz is pretty cool. A neat Ground-Specialist (Right?)
TakeThePRNDL: First off, I'm curious: What does PRNDL stand for? Secondly, Mark Notapokemon is a neat character, but I just can't see him hanging around Ash, you know? I can't really tell what type he's specializing in either, so that would be appreciated. I'm gonna guess that it's dark due to the Zorua, but the Espeon throws that off a bit.
Anywho, the OC competition is still open! Please review your OC to me in this format:
Name: (Firstname Lastname)
Type: (Dark, Ground, Fairy)
Signature Pokemon: (Of the type they're specializing in)
Hometown: (Townanme,Regionname. Be creative! As long as they're canon, I'll accept them)
Appearance: (What they wear)
Personality: (What kind of person they are)
I think that wraps this extremely long AN up! Please, please, PLEASE, review and let me know what you think of the story. It really helps me, and each review means more to me than you guys could ever know. Thanks! I'm out!
