The Author of this story (oh wait, that's me!) would like to thank all of the readers that have read this. I hope you find it interesting or enjoy it.
I noticed a few typos in my first two chapters, so I went back and fixed them. So if you noticed them too they are now fixed. Thanks for reading!
NaturalHarmoniaZoroark- I would like to thank you for bringing this to my attention. I did a little more research and according to wiki, Arceus is equivalent to either a qilin (which is basically a Chinese 4 legged dragon without wings) or a centaur (half horse, half human). It doesn't really specify him being either one. i just said horse at the top of my mind because that was the closest thing I could think of since I have never heard of a qilin until I looked it up. Looking at both i would say he is a part of both of them (a qilin and centaur).
115SecretsToUnveil-I really appreciate your continuation of reading my story and the reviews. You're Awesome! Keep up the good work on your story also! :D
XDiamondX90- Thanks for following and favoriting my story. I'm anxious to hear what you think so far about it!
Everyone else that has read my story -Don't forget to read my first two chapters of my story :) Please leave a review and let me know what you think of my story so far. This is my first story I'm writing, so good/ or bad feedback - I would appreciate either one. That way I can improve my story if it is needed. I would like to know everyone's opinion about what kind of creature Arceus is because I have got to thinking about it after NaturalHarmoniaZoroark brought it to my attention that Arceus could be considered a dragon. The highest amount of feedback of what I should call him, I will change the description of it in my story. Let the input begin! :)
Chapter 3 : The Trio
Arceus had a good feeling about the Draco Plate. It decided to give each designated plate a name depending on the color and elemental power that resided in it. This plate was a bluish purple in color and held the power of a dragon. It seemed to have the most energy out of all the plates.
"Hmm.. what should I choose as the second type of elemental power?" Arceus thought.
"I know," it said out loud. "I'll choose the Splash Plate."
This plate was a lighter blue and held the power of water. With enough focus and power, a figure started to come out of the two plates. This figure expanded to 13 feet tall and 9 inches. As the creature took shape, it formed a light purple lizard body standing up on two feet. It had circular shoulders and pearls engraved in them and wings sticking straight back behind its shoulders. It had a long neck and seemed to have gauntlets type arms. The Pokémon had dark purple stripes running up and down its tail and neck with a grayish belly.
"Palkia, you are now born." announced Arceus.
Palkia's pearls on its shoulders had started glowing pink. It let out a roar as a shock wave extended from its body and thus space was finally born. Everything had went black and each way they looked had stretched out with no end. Everything seemed so still. Palkia looked over at its creator and then at Lucario. With its territorial nature, it had released a spiral yellow beam from its mouth and made a hole in the middle of space. It soon flew in and disappeared because it wanted a place all to itself.
"Where did it go?" Lucario and Arceus both wondered.
Arceus had to focus on what the next being would be. Again It took the Draco Plate because of the great amount of energy and looked at the rest.
"You should use the silver plate." suggested Lucario. "I really like that one."
"That sounds good to me." said Arceus. "I shall use the Iron Plate."
The two plates combined and started glowing. Soon the four-legged dragon was born. This creature had a silver chest plate which had a diamond in the middle of it. It also had a silver fin plate on its lower back. The rest of it consisted of a blue color with light blue lines down its neck and back. It leaped with its gauntlet-like legs and stopped for a moment to look around. Arceus examined its crest-like head which had two silver horns as well as its silver fangs.
"Now Dialga, you are born." said Arceus looking right in Dialga's direction.
Dialga let out a roar. Its diamond on its chest started glowing a bright blue and a shock wave similar to Palkia's released from Dialga's body and thus time began to flow.
Arceus instantly remember all about its training, about what it saw when it first hatched from its egg. Its memory started to go through every thought it had, ever since it was born.
"Maybe this was an effect from Dialga's powers." Arceus thought.
Soon Dialga did exactly what Palkia did. It created a vortex beam and entered another dimension to be on its own.
"So, there is one more that I need to create." Arceus further thought.
"With the measurement of time and the unlimited amount of space, what else could i need to further my work?" Arceus wondered.
Arceus set the lavender colored plate along side with the other plate. The Spooky Plate started glowing along with the Draco plate like the others did before. As expected, a figure stretched out to be 14 ft. long and 9 inches. It resembled a gray serpent, with black and red stripes circling around chest and again around the end of its body. Five gray spikes with yellow tips came out from either side of its body. It seemed to have a yellow mask with matching colored armor rings down its neck. It had 6 black streamers following behind it.
Unfortunately what this creature's purpose served was unknown to Lucario, but he knew Arceus probably knew. The creature flew to its own dimension before any further facts could be made from it.
"That was Giratina." claimed Arceus. "These three creatures are very territorial and have powers far beyond our imagination. In their nature, I think they all know that they shouldn't be inhabiting the same dimension."
"You created that thing, surely you know what it does." Lucario said out of his curiosity.
"If it was created to my specifications, then it has the power to control and travel through dimensions, except for those of time and space. Furthermore, it helps keeps balance throughout the dimensions, so nothing happens in them that shouldn't." explained Arceus.
Arceus had to rest because it had used a lot of energy. Creating three deities is no easy work. Also after Dialga was born, Arceus noticed it took quite a while to create these beings. This thought stood out in its mind, because before this event, neither Lucario or Arceus had a sense of time up until then. Arceus began to rest its eyes. Lucario decided to do the same. He released his blue aura around the both of them. Arceus was back in its inner world.
"So you have returned to me," said Zeus. "and I see you have created The Trio I informed you about. Now it is time to teach you some more techniques"
"How did you know?" asked Arceus curiously.
"Because I am your powers. I know everything you do. Especially when it has to do with creating things." replied Zeus
"I see" said Arceus
"Now for a technique called Cosmic Power. You can absorb energy from space to raise your defenses." informed Zeus
"How do i do that?" asked Arceus.
"Do you remember when you absorbed energy from your plates? It is similar to that, you must acknowledge its existence and relax your body then you can borrow energy from it." explained Zeus.
Arceus closed its eyes and focused its mind on the energy of space. Its body felt tougher the more it absorbed from this energy, as it flowed through the Pokémon's body. It rested a few minutes and practiced this procedure a few more times, getting more better at it every time Arceus did this. Arceus had learned Cosmic Power.
"You are getting the hang of this quite quickly." Zeus commented to Arceus. "Now follow me. I have something I would like to show you."
Arceus followed Zeus into a bio dome type building just beyond the battlefield. It was surprised to see what was inside. Several trees were planted all around. Arceus had never seen anything like it.
"These are called trees." informed Zeus. "It is your job to create these to help you're living creations survive."
"Do you mean like Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina?" asked Arceus.
"Those three wont need these because they are considered deities or in other words, gods, like you." Zeus said looking at the trees. "Although, future creatures that aren't, will need them. Even though you have one of the greatest gifted powers, they are limited, as are everyone else's. That's how life is. It's like life knows that if all you create are deities then there will be too much energy to balance out the forces of nature and your creations will eventually destroy themselves. So you must create weaker life forms to sustain life's balance. Basically, stronger life forms don't depend on anything to keep them alive, but that doesn't mean they are invincible. Deities do need resources depending on which dimension they are in."
Zeus tried explaining how life worked the best he could. Luckily Arceus understood perfectly. Zeus handed Arceus a berry off of one of the trees that had already matured. This berry was red.
"Now for a technique called Natural Gift. You can call out power of these objects. You can also eat them for an effect and also because certain ones taste good." Each berry has a different power in them." Go on, give it a try." urged Zeus.
Arceus meditated on the berry, searching for its energy as it did before with the plates and space. It felt the energy and released a beam of electricity through the roof of the bio dome. This was easy because Arceus had already practiced with the other things.
"You are quite the natural." said an impressed Zeus. "Here, try these berries. I'm sure you will like them."
"I did have a great teacher." replied Arceus as it accepted the berries.
These berries were blue and Arceus enjoyed them very much. It could tell that these berries replenished its health.
"These berries are called Oran. They restore your energy a little bit." said Zeus. "One more thing, the more energy you store up the stronger you become. You can release all this energy as an attack if you focus it. This technique is called Punishment. If you ever need any of these abilities, then you now know how to use them."
"Thanks master. I want to go back and tell Lucario about what I've learned!" said Arceus excitingly.
"I'm sure Lucario has had training as well. I can see through your eyes and Lucario had rested along side with you. That's what inner worlds specialize in - the training and resting of one's body." Zeus told Arceus.
Arceus woke up. Lucario had already been awake but it seemed like it hadn't been that long since he had awoken, because his eyelids looked slightly heavy as he let out a yawn.
"Guess what?" said Arceus. "I have learnt some techniques from my inner world."
"So have I." replied Lucario. "My master said their were 8 different techniques that he could teach me but I could only remember 4 of them. I remembered my favorite ones. My master also said that there were some techniques that i could only learn after i had gotten stronger in the world of the living, as he called it."
Arceus had grown very fond of Lucario. It considered him to be its best friend.
"Would you like to help me with my grand creation?" asked Arceus.
"Sure, what do you have in mind?" asked Lucario expectantly.
Arceus brought several of his plates out. Five of them to be exact. These plates alone circled around Arceus. The other plates had still been absorbed into its body.
"With the power of ground, water, and grass; combined with the power of electricity - they weld together and with the power of dragon, they increase." explained Arceus to Lucario.
The Earth, Splash, Meadow, Zap and Draco plates all combined and created a sphere of energy. Lucario caught this sphere as it fell out of the air. He could feel the energy rushing through the orb. Lucario realized it resembled the Lucarionite that Arceus had given him.
"What is this?" Lucario asked, even though he already had an idea of what it was.
"I call this the Jewel The Life." informed Arceus. "This will be the beginning of my grand scheme.
Chapter 3 ending!
What could Arceus's grand scheme be? What is the Jewel of Life for? More answers will be revealed in the next chapter! Don't forget to leave a review and let me know what you think about the story so far. I know its not much yet but it will get better the more the story goes on! If you haven't already, please read the author's note. I am curious of what your all opinions are of Arceus's classification. Also I would like to know from you guys if you think my chapters are too short or too long. Readers - you are my inspiration. -YourBestFriendAizen. :D
