Chapter 4
I was in the peaceful void of sleep when I awoke suddenly in a grassy field with mountains in the distance. The first thing I noticed was that I was human again but it felt like I was still in the Pokemon world.
"Ah. I see you are awake now."
The deep and echoey voice made me instantly twist around to look behind me only for me to freeze in shock and fright because standing behind me was none other than Lord Arceus himself.
"I see you know who I am."
I just sat there too stunned to think straight but what he said snapped me out of my shocked state.
"The world of Pokémon I have created is in trouble and that is why I have summoned you from your world. After convincing your god to allow me to bring you to my world."
The last sentence he said under his breath as he waited for my response.
"So wait. Are you telling me that the Pokemon world is trouble?"
"Yes."
"From what?"
"you should know them as team rocket, team magma, team aqua, and team plasma. These organizations have gotten too out of hand that I fear the balance of the world will be disrupted beyond repair."
"What about your legendaries and your chosen one?"
"there is so much my chosen one can do on his own. The legendaries I fear are being overpowered with many going into hiding to avoid getting captured by these groups and being forced to destroy what they are supposed to protect."
"I'll help to the best of my abilities."
"That is good to hear. I will contact you again when it is time to strike at the first organization, Team Rocket. For now get used to your new body and train as well as gain some friends to help you along the way."
"I will do as you wish Lord Arceus."
"Now it's time for you to return to your friends as they are very worried about you. Goodbye and good luck."
The dream realm I was in started to fade as I fell asleep again only to open my eyes in the real world. After a few minutes of getting used to the feeling of falling asleep in one world and waking up in another I could hear Jack and Serenity talking to one another.
"Do you think he will be alright?"
"Yes. Remember the Chansey said that he was only asleep."
"I know what she said but still. He's been asleep for an entire day now."
In my mind I was thinking, "I need to talk to Arceus about keeping the meetings between the hours of the night."
I silently sat up and looked around me to find that Serenity and Jack had moved me to a cave with light filtering through a crack in the ceiling. After looking around for a few minutes I slowly stood up to keep my balance since I had just evolved not to long ago. After taking a few test steps I brought up my bladed arms and did an experimental slash in the air with both blades before I started to head towards the mouth of the cave where I heard Serenity and Jack talking to each other. When I rounded the corner the only person I saw was Jack practicing his force palm on a little rock.
"Hey Jack."
When I shouted his name his focus on his force palm faltered, causing him to hit his bare paw on the rock. Both of us winced as there was an audible crack echoing throughout the cave entrance. We were both silent then Jack yelped out in pain and jumped away from the rock while holding his injured paw.
"Don't you know not to distract someone when they are using force palm!"
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I forgot about that."
"Well anyways it's good to see that your awake. Serenity will want to know that your awake."
"Where is she?"
"She's down the other tunnel branch."
"Thanks and sorry about distracting you."
"No problem. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go find the Chansey and have her heal my paw."
I watched as Jack left the tunnel while holding his injured paw then I turned around and went through the other tunnel in the cave. While I was walking through the tunnel I was reviewing what Arceus had told me thus making me completely miss the sound of splashing water. I'm looking down in thought when the next thing I hear is a high pitch scream and a very strong psychic hitting me square in the chest and launching me back into the tunnel I had come from. For a few minutes a laid on the ground trying to understand what happened when I hear someone getting out of water and the sound of fabric being moved. When I look up I see Serenity with a bright red blush of embarrassment and anger as well as a charged wake-up slap.
"What's the big idea walking into the bathing cavern without checking to see if there was anyone in there!?"
That was when it hit me why she was mad and blushing. I started to speak but she beat me to it.
"Well? Are you going to apologize or not?"
"I-I'm sorry Serenity. I didn't know that that was the bathing cavern and you were in it."
"Her anger seamed to have subsided slightly but her hand was still glowing with wake-up slap.
"I was just lost in thought about something that happened while I was knocked out."
At my confession her embarrassment changed to curiosity as the glow on her hand subsided.
"What do you mean something that happened when you were knocked out?"
"You might not believe me but Arceus himself spoke to me."
There was nothing but absolute silence as the information sunk into Serenity's brain.
"Wait? Let me get this straight. Arceus himself appeared before you."
"Yes."
"For what exactly?"
"Well um he wants me to take down the criminal organizations that are plaguing this world."
"Hmm. I don't detect any falsehood but I have to ask. ARE YOU MENTAL!"
I had to hold my head after that outburst as she had shouted using her telepathy.
"Your not the first Pokemon to fight back."
"Really? Who else?"
At my question Serenity went silent and looked away. I heard a few sniffles then she looked at me with tears threatening to spill.
"Jack's parents and mine went to help out a legendary in trouble from Team Rocket. It was an intense battle between the free pokemon and team rocket. When the smoke from the battle cleared the free pokemon had defeated the team that was sent to capture the legendary but the cost of the battle was high for both sided. Among the dead were our parents. We didn't know they had died until the legendary they protected came and told us himself about their deaths. He he even attended their funeral and."
I stood in shock while Serenity broke down into tears and went down onto her knees. I was speechless and I had no idea on what I was supposed to do but I did know of one thing. I crouched down in front of Serenity and gave her a comforting hug. This seamed, to me, the wrong move as her crying increased as she sobbed into my shoulder. I went to move away but she held onto me making me realize that I did the right thing. We stayed sitting like that for maybe an hour as she cried while I kept patting her on the back. After a while all was quiet as Serenity had fallen asleep in my embrace. I smiled down at her then I picked her up bridal style and carried her down the tunnel towards the main cave. When I started to head down the other tunnel to the other sleeping quarters Jack came back into the cave with his paw now healed. When he saw that Serenity had been crying he instantly got angry as he charged me with a bone rush.
"What did you do to Serenity!"
I turned around to see the bone rush coming towards us and I knew that it was going to hit both of us. Out of instinct I pulled up a protect just in time to make the bone bounce harmlessly off the barrier.
"What are you doing Jack? You could of hit Serenity."
My outburst stopped Jack cold as he realized his mistake but the anger for seeing Serenity crying was still there.
"Why was she crying?"
"She was telling me about how both of you lost your parents."
Jack froze even more as the memories flashed through his mind. He instantly lost his aggressive stance as he understood why she had been crying.
"I see. I'm sorry I attacked you Caleb."
"It's alright but please be more careful about jumping to conclusions next time."
"I will."
As I was about to turn down the tunnel again Serenity started to stir as she slowly woke up from her slumber.
"What's going on."
As she wiped the sleep out of her eyes as well as some stray tears she looked down to see that I was carrying her.
"Um Caleb. Why are you carrying me?"
"I was taking you to the sleeping area so that you could sleep."
"well I'm awake now so if you don't mind could you put me down please."
"um sure."
As I placed her down I look up to see that the barrier is still up but before I could warn her she ran right into it and bounced off of it. What came next was a world of pain for me as the barrier fell from the impact and the back of her head hitting my groin hard. I let out a pained cry as I fell to my knees while holding my groin while Serenity shook off the effects of running into the barrier. She looked behind herself to see me on my side in extreme pain. She looked over at Jack to ask what happened but it looked like he was wincing as well as holding his paws over his groin area then it hit her. She slowly looked at me and crouched down in front of me.
"Are you alright? I'm so so sorry."
She continued to apologize and freak out while I laid there in pain. Eventually the pain went away and I was able to stand up again if a little shaky in the knees.
"it's alright. It was my fault for not lowering the protect."
"But I should have seen it and stopped."
"It's alright Serenity just please be more careful."
After that I went ahead down the tunnel to the resting room and laid down and fell asleep after enduring the pain from the accidental hit.
ANOuch that's gonna leave a mark. Well anyways Guys this seemed like the best place to do this so. I am currently looking for some OC characters to add into this story and I will mention the character and their owner at the beginning of the chapter they will first appear on. just PM or review with either a pokemon or a trainer you created along with the gender being female or male, what kind of pokemon for the pokemon OC or what team the trainer will have, and a description of what they look like be it a odd coloration in their fur for the Pokémon OC or what kind of clothing they wear for the trainer OC.
P.S. (I will ignore any trainer requests with several legendary pokemon in the team but I will accept any special request to have a certain pokemon out walking around with their trainer. Also on a last thought I will only except certain legendary OC's. )
