Chapter 12: Kyogre's Calling
"Kyogre…" Cam murmured. Kyogre, the titan of the seas. Kyogre, lord of the ocean. Kyogre, determined rival of Groudon…
Yes, that's who I am. But first, I must explain…
A long time ago, the legendary Pokemon ruled Gaowan. We all controlled some portion of the land, but many of us lost our chance to rule over Gaowan.
The spirit paused for a moment. I was of the few that survived to the end.
"What happened?"
A human sailed to Gaowan. He traveled to a special place, and trapped us in these stone eggs.
"Why? And isn't their a Kyogre in Hoenn? Why is there one here too?"
We are one and the same. They are just different bodies.
"So you can be in two places at once?"
Yes.
"Cool! Now, tell me about the stone eggs."
The human destroyed himself so we could be his slaves. However, one of the Gaowan legends realized his plans, and sealed us in these stone eggs to protect us. The human settlements came later.
"What happened to the human?"
He actived a special energy field which would give him power over all Pokemon. However, what remained of each of our forces rebelled against him, and his spirit now orbits a certain part of Gaowan, watching, waiting, preparing to strike…
Now, you must win as many gym battles as you can. I saw you win the Ocean Badge. You are indeed worthy of what I am about to do…
BUT! First I have one more trial for you. You must… DEFEAT ME!
The spirit of Kyogre floated down, and the Sapphire Egg's remains contained it. The egg shifted it's shape to become a Pokeball made out of sapphire.
The Sapphire Pokeball opened to reveal… A MUDKIP!?!
With a slight grin, Cam released Petalwoof.
"Feel my fury!" Cried 'Kyogre', as he launched, or tried to, anyway, a Sheer Cold.
However, as Mudkip cannot learn Sheer Cold in the first place, Petalwoof just stared for a moment and let loose a flurry of Razor Leaf attacks.
"Ouch…" said Kyogre, who, as a small, almost newborn Mudkip, wasn't very strong. "I surrender! You have truly shown that you are the one to undertake the quest! But first, you must realise that when you accept, you cannot turn it down. No turning back."
"I understand."
"Oh, and you will get some… abilities. Some will help, some will hinder. Good luck. The moment you pick up the Sapphire Ball, You and everything that belongs to you here, will appear at the entrance to the Tidal Cave. Good luck. I shall see you soon."
With that, Kyogre recalled himself back into the Sapphire Ball. Cam recalled Petalwoof, and picked it up.
A blue flash appeared out of nowhere. The Ocean Badge, forgotten in all this, flew towards Cam at record breaking speeds. It touched him just in the nick of time.
Cam found himself outside. He picked up the Ocean Badge and the Sapphire Pokeball, and put them away.
"That was weird."
And he headed back to the hotel.
TO BE CONTINUED…
So, the voice's identity is revealed! And this is looking more like a Mary-Sue story by the minute! Oh, dear…
Anyway, till next time!
