Another chapter up! Yeahhhhhh!

Alright I need to make some announcements about this story.

The Key to the Voices:

"Hello? Are you there?" - This is normal speaking.

"Hello? Are you there?" - This is telepathy, or known as speaking with the mind.

Hello? Are you there? - This is just a character's own thoughts. No one else can hear them, unless they have telepathy. (Such as Arceus)

Enjoy! :D


His body ached all over. As he slowly opened his eyes, he saw that he wasn't on the beach anymore, but instead, in space.

IN SPACE?! How is this even possible? He was just floating around in the vast emptiness of space, while not dying. There were many stars shimmering around him and he could see the planet below. Wait. Am I dead? That would make sense.

"You are not dead, Decidueye," said a voice from behind him. He turned around and was shocked.

"L-lord Arceus!" he said, quickly bowing (which was really awkward to do because he was floating). The Pokémon called Arceus shook his head.

"Please, rise up," Arceus said, lifting his arm. Decidueye nodded and rose. "I have a very important matter to discuss with you," Arceus said. "I have a task for you. An important one. Are you willing to do it?"

Decidueye didn't know what to do. He was in front of the God of all Pokémon, who was asking for his help. "W-well," started Decidueye, "I think I need to know what the task is first… if that is alright." Then Decidueye froze. Oh no, he thought, what if I need to say yes? What will happen to me it I said no? Will he hurt me? What is this task? WHY AM I EVEN HERE?

"Please, calm down," the Alpha Pokémon said, "If you do not want to be here, then you may leave at any time. I will not hurt you, I promise."

"You can read my mind?" asked Decidueye.

"Yes," Arceus answered. "I do know how much you hate speaking out loud, so you may speak to me in your mind."

"Thank you."

Arceus slightly nodded. "The task I want to give you is not an easy one." He pointed to the Alola Region on Earth. "You will need to travel all across the region to complete it."

Decidueye nodded.

"That Pokémon yesterday in the water, you remember that thing, correct?"

The usual nod came.

"That was the result of a failed experiment from a group of people called Team Laser." Arceus looked down. "Team Laser is an organization that uses Pokémon as experiments in their research."

"Why would they do that?"

"They want to test the limits of Pokémon. See how far they can push themselves in battle, how fast they can evolve, reasons like that. Recently, they have been trying a new project, Project MPF."

"MPF? What's that?"

"Multiple Pokémon Fusion."

Decidueye let out a small gasp. "Pokémon… fusion?"

"Yes, Pokémon fusion, the practice in which two Pokémon are fused together genetically to make a new Pokémon." Arceus looked at the Earth, deep in thought. "I know that humans are creatures that make many problems and mistakes, but this? I can't take it." He looked at Decidueye and pointed at him. "I made every Pokémon unique and special in their own way. Each one has their strengths and weaknesses. This is what keeps balance in the universe." Arceus sighed. "And once again, the humans are messing up the universe themselves."

"If they are working on fusion, then what was that thing back there? The black Pokémon? It didn't look too good. It was all droopy and slimey."

"That was a failed experiment. Team Laser has not perfected this… fusion… yet, so they keep the failures locked away deep underground. That Pokémon before must have escaped. It hasn't seen sunlight in days, maybe even months, and was scared. That's probably why it attacked you, it was only scared." The lord looked away from Earth. "It hurts me to know that it… they… were living Pokémon once, and I had to finish them myself. Every time one of them dissolves into thin air, it hurts me."

"I'm sorry," Decidueye thought, "that you had to… kill… them. If I may ask, what were the Pokémon fused to create that?"

"Tentacruel and Muk, two very nice Pokémon." Decidueye noticed the God sulk a tiny bit. He didn't bother Arceus, he felt bad for the God. "Well then," Arceus said suddenly, "The task is to take out Team Laser once and for all. Erase them from this world, if you may."

"Alright. I will do it."

"Are you sure? You might want to hear the conditions though."

"Conditions? What conditions?" Decidueye thought-asked.

"In order for this plan to work, you must be a human."

"WHAT? I'm not a human!"

"I know that, but I have the power to turn you into one."

Decidueye was confused at this point. He had to be a human.

A human.

An actual human.

Not a Pokémon, but a human. Decidueye felt like this was all a dream, but he knew deep down in his heart that it was not. If he accepted, he would turn into a human. He didn't know how to be a human though, so would he even fit in? Was saying yes the right choice? Decidueye looked at Arceus, knowing that it had chosen him for a reason. "All right. I'll do it, but just one question."

"Yes?"

"Will I be a human forever?"

"No. At any given time during your journey, you may quit this task and I will turn you back into your former self."

"Alright."

"We are starting now. There is no time to waste. Are you ready?"

"Y-yes… I guess so."

Arceus nodded and the cross-like wheel on its back and his eyes started glowing. Beams of light were shot out from them, and headed straight for Decidueye. He guessed that he was supposed to get hit by those (It's not like he could even dodge them anyways). He was ready for it. He was ready for this adventure ahead of him. But a thought came to him.

Where do I even start?

The beams of light struck him and he was engulfed in the light.

All there was to see, was white.
