Missy awoke surrounded by her Pokémon. 'I guess that Pokémon was just a dream,' Missy told herself. "Good morning everyone," she greeted them all.
"Morning? Its afternoon already…" Houndour said.
Missy blinked a few times and shook her head – did she just hear Houndour speak in the human language? She looked at Dragonair who was protecting the pink egg. Eevee hopped onto her lap.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Eevee asked.
"I'm fine Eevee, but that Pokémon….it wasn't a dream then…." Missy said.
"What? She understands us?" Shinx asked.
"Something must have happened at the river," Absol said calmly.
"Something did happen. I saw a strange Pokémon then I got dizzy and fell." Missy explained.
"That would explain why you were all wet when we found you," Houndour said.
'This is all so strange.' Missy thought, 'I can understand my Pokémon.' Then something struck her. She pulled the pokeball off the chain around her neck and released the Pokémon inside.
"Come on out Verse!" out popped a small blue and orange Pokémon that was made of plasma. Usually when she let Verse out all she heard was static but now…
"Yay I get to play again!" Verse said.
"Verse – you like being out, don't you?" Missy asked.
"Yea! I like seeing all my friends!" it didn't even register to Verse that Missy could understand what he was saying.
She let Verse play with his friends. Missy made herself some sandwiches with the little food she had left. She ate the last fruit she had left as well. Now she would really have to go to town today.
"Someone is coming this way," Dragonair said.
"Sorry Verse but you have to go back inside," Missy had Verse return to his pokeball.
It was Professor Rowan. "Missy, what are you doing up here?"
"Oh it's only you professor," Missy said with a sigh, "I was training before I went after my next badge."
"Did you see anything strange up here last night?" the Professor asked.
"No, I fell asleep after training. There was something here last night though," Missy explained.
"What was it?" Rowan asked.
Missy turned and took the egg from Dragonair. "This was on my lap when I awoke this morning. Then I saw a strange Pokémon by the river."
"You need to come to my lab right away," Rowan said quickly.
"Why?" Missy asked.
"People are trying to get onto the mountain. Last night a strange light brought something down onto this mountain and everyone wants to find out what it was. Officer Jenny and her team have been trying not to let anyone pass." Rowan explained.
"Ok then," Missy said. "Sorry everyone but it's time to go," She returned each of her Pokémon one at a time until only Dragonair was left.
"Leave that one out – we're gonna have to fly out of this place," Rowan said.
"Do you have a flying Pokémon, Professor?" Missy asked.
Professor Rowan threw his pokeball and out popped a Togekiss.
"When did you get one of those Professor?" Missy asked.
"I am borrowing my assistant's actually," he responded. "We really should get going,"
They both hopped onto the backs of their Pokémon and few away from Mt. Cornet and towards Sandgem town. Missy and Dragonair followed the Professor. Missy was holding onto the egg tightly so it wouldn't fall, but she almost did a few times, Dragonair would never let her rider fall and saved Missy each time. When they got there they landed up by the Professor's lab and went inside. Rowan gave his assistant his Pokémon back.
"Hey Missy," Brandon greeted her after putting his pokeball away.
"So that was your Pokémon the Professor was using," Missy said.
"Is that what came from the pink ray of light?" Brandon asked.
Missy nodded her head as she held tight to the pink egg. Rowan led her down into a small room with a chair and table. Rowan took the egg and took some test – trying to determine what type of Pokémon was inside.
Brandon got Missy some dinner as they waited for Professor Rowan. They talked about their journeys and the different type of Pokémon they had seen. After a few hours he gave the egg back to Missy.
"All I could find out was that there is a psychic-type Pokémon inside. Just be careful with it and try to be alone when it hatches." Rowan explained
"I know how hatching an egg is like." Missy said. She left the room and followed Brandon.
"Hay Brandon, do you think I can see your Togekiss?" Missy asked.
"Sure," they stepped outside in the back of the lab and Brandon let his Pokémon out.
"You sure look healthy Togekiss, your trainer must take good care of you," Missy said as she pet the large white Pokémon.
"Yea, he is a sweetie and caring. And not only to me but the other Pokémon as well." Togekiss said.
"That's good to hear," Missy said.
"Hear? You can understand me?" Togekiss asked, surprised.
"Yea, funny thing really," Missy responded.
"What are you doing Missy?" Brandon asked. "It looks like you are having an actual conversation with Togekiss."
"Oh, I was. She said that you take good care of all your Pokémon," Missy said.
"You can actually understand what she is saying?" Brandon asked.
"You can't understand her?" Missy asked.
"All I heard was her saying her name over and over again. Just like all other Pokémon in the world." Brandon said.
"Well I guess something happened to me after seeing that weird Pokémon," Missy said.
Brandon had Togekiss return to her pokeball, "What Pokémon?"
Missy pulled out her pokedex and showed Brandon the picture she had taken of it. After seeing it Brandon's eyes got larger and he pulled her inside and dragged her to Professor Rowan.
"Professor, I need to see that book of legendary Pokémon of Sinnoh." Brandon demanded. Once he got the book he began to flip through it until he came upon a picture that looked similar to the Pokémon in Missy's picture.
"Are you sure you saw THIS Pokémon?" Brandon showed Missy the picture in the book. It looked exactly like the Pokémon she had seen only hours ago. She nodded her head.
"What is it Brandon?" Rowan asked.
"Professor, Missy said she saw Arceus; and actually has a picture to prove it." Brandon showed the Professor Missy's pokedex.
"Missy; was this before or after you got the egg?" Rowan asked.
"After. I was getting water at the river and I saw it on the other side. After looking it in the eyes I got dizzy and collapsed. When I awoke I could understand what my Pokémon were saying. And I can understand what Brandon's Togekiss is saying too!" Missy said, excited.
"Arceus is a super legendary Pokémon. Legends say that it existed even before Dialga and Palkia. I believe that you know the story that Dialga and Palkia created time and space. Arceus is said to have shaped the universe. I didn't think that it really existed." Rowan explained.
"And we have the great poke-translator," Brandon joked.
"Last night lights shot up from the three lakes in the Sinnoh region. From each lake came a different color. The lights meet up in the middle of the Sinnoh region – Mt. Cornet. Then the lights turned pink and pointed at the ground. Then as suddenly they appeared – they disappeared." Rowan continued his story.
"It was strange though. From Lake Verity came a red light. Legends say that Mesprit lives there – and that Pokémon has a red head. Similar things happened at the other two lakes. At Lake Acuity a yellow light was there. The Pokémon there is Uxie and has a yellow head. At Lake Valor a blue light shot up. Azelf is the one who resides there and as you can guess, its head is blue." Rowan sighed.
"So what does this all have to do with me?" Missy asked.
"It's you and that egg you have. I believe that egg came from the light. It could be from another dimension or from the world of the legendaries. Whatever it may be – it's your destiny to raise the Pokémon in that egg" Rowan explained.
Brandon went out to the front door and opened it up to see at least a dozen reporters waiting outside; so he quickly closed the door. "Professor, we have a reporter problem outside."
"I'll go deal with them. Missy, fly on your Dragonair out of here. If they see you with that egg, they won't let you go." Rowan went out front, "Yes, hello everyone. Yes I was up on Mt. Cornet but nothing was there – I believe that it was just a lightshow…."
Missy couldn't hear what else the professor was saying; she was dragged back outside by Brandon. "Hurry up Missy, take care!"
Missy let Dragonair out of her pokeball and flew south towards her grandparents' daycare.
