Okay, so after yue the snow queen's many reviews to UPDATE.... I UPDATE! Now stop bugging me!
JK. Bug me all you want. Here's the Mewforsaken chapter update.
Thanks for the memories, even if they really hurt my head
"Okay, so... Where to start, where to start." Emrit sighed and rubbed her temples. I felt stressed, for some reason. "I think I'll just show you."
"How can you 'show' me?" I asked.
"Just.... Take my hand and I'll show you." Confused as I was, I took Emrit's hand anyways.
I opened my eyes. Funny, I didn't remember closing them.
"Err...... Hello?" I asked, looking around. HOLY--
I immediately stumbled back. Holy crap! Where the heck was I?
I warned you, whined Valenro. I really did, but you didn't listen. Couldn't you tell this was all an illusion?
"An...... Illusion?" I asked, my face screwed up in confusion.
"He's lying, Haru," said a voice behind me. I spun around. Emrit. Valenro howled in my head, and for a second Emrit flinched. Then she was fine again. "See, I'm real." She tapped my arm to show this.
It's an illusion! An illusion! Break free of it! They're making you see things! They're-
There was a yelp from Valenro, and then silence. I listened carefully. More silence.
"What..... What happened to Valenro?" I asked, my face now a confused-sad mix.
"He just didn't understand," said Emrit, looking dramatically away into the distance.... Dramatically. "He just needed to..... Get it, that's all." She looked at me.
"Well, then.... Where are we?" I asked, looking around. We were in a black void, nothing around us, and the only source of light was the tiny specks of topaz that were Emrit's eyes.
"We're in Nowhere," said Emrit, cupping her hand. Something small and black fluttered into her hand, and she put it on my hand. A black butterfly. How odd.
"And.... where is Nowhere?" I asked. "Let me guess..... Nowhere?"
"It's somewhere, but in dimensions, Nowhere is nowhere."
I blinked. "Uh..... Was I supposed to understand that?"
"No." Emrit looked away for a second, then grabbed my hand with no warning whatsoever and dragged me off.
"Where are we going?" I asked, taking a deep breath.
"I'm going to show you your past," she said, as if this was the most obvious thing in the whole entire world. "I told you I would."
With nothing to say, I just started humming Peter and the Wolf. What, I had nothing better to do!
Eventually we came to what looked like.... A 63'' flatscreen TV?
As I sat down on the couch that had appeared out of nowhere, I was.... Flabbergasted. The look on my face gave it away.
"Well, you don't think Nowhere would have no source of entertainment?" asked Emrit, sitting down besdies me and getting a universal remote. And when I say universal, I mean universal, because it had the names of Emrit, Yuxie, and Agnome, me, and about a bajillion other people. (It was a gigantic remote
And Arceus.
Emrit pressed the on button, then pressed the Hinari-Haru button. The screen flashed to me as a baby, wrapped in clothes. (If I may say so, I looked terribly cute.)
"Okay, your birth. Somehow, your mother disappeared right after leaving you on..." Emrit clicked another button, and the screen flashed. Baby me was lying on where I'd ended up when I first came to Sinnoh. "... Spear Pillar." It zoomed out, and I saw that the platform was indeed pillar-filled. "Right. Anyways," it zoomed back. "Seeing as you were right below Spear Pillar, and no one ever goes on Spear Pillar, and since leaving a baby on it was something since unheard of, Arceus decided to investigate." The creature had a name? Well, I guess calling it 'Arceus' would be better than 'the creature'.
Arceus flew down from wherever it had previously been and down to baby me. Baby me grasped some of Arceus' fur and giggled. There was a flash, and instead of the giant horse-like creature, there was a young woman of about 20 kneeling on one knee besides baby me. She smiled, and baby me smiled back. There was another flash, and instead of a girl, there was a teenage boy.
"All these gender changes are confusing me," I said. "What is Arceus, a boy or a girl?"
"Neither," said Emrit, grinning. "Arceus is an it. No gender."
"Ooookay?" I asked. The TV flashed forward about 5 years, and I was now a kindergartener age. K-grade me looked around. She wasn't lost, but rather, looking for something.
"Arcy?" she asked in singsong. "Where are you~?"
I'm not telling! Came a shout from behind her. She turned around, her arms crossed. Arceus sweatdropped. Uh...... Oops.
"Oh, Arcy, it won't be any fun if you tell me where you are. Don't go easy on me! I'm.... Um..." She counted on her fingers. "Five and a half now!"
Arceus sighed. Oh, fine. Don't blame me if you never find me. With that, Arceus turned invisible.
K-grade me looked around again and did the strangest thing. She looked up and sniffed. Her ears pricked up and she bounded off in one direction like a dog before smacking into something invisible.
"Ow," she said, rubbing the crash mark. Arceus faded back into visibility.
How'd you know I was there? Arceus asked.
"Your scent, obviously. You smell like flowers and the ocean," said I, nodding triumphantly. "And," she said, "More importantly, I won hide and seek! Yahoo!" She danced around before smacking into a pillar. She hopped away on one foot, rubbing her nose, but then continued dancing. I could tell she was watching where she danced, now, though.
Fast forward another 5 years; she's lying in the grass with human girl Arceus. A small, hedgehog-like creature came up to her and nuzzled her cheek.
"Hiya, Shaymin," she said, patting the green fur on its back. "Been keeping good care of the flowers lately? I can notice."
Mii has been taking very good care of the flowers lately! Thanks for seeing this, Mii is super happy! Shaymin blushed, then cuddled up in a small circle so it looked just like a flower patch and laid down besides 10-year-old me. Me smiled and closed her eyes.
"Hey, Arcy?" she asked. Arceus looked down at me, calmness reflecting off her emerald eyes.
"What is it, Haru?"
"I've always wondered.... Is there more out there?" she looked up to the sky. Arceus sighed, and for a few minutes the blue sky and clouds were replaced by space and little stars that sparkled like diamonds.
This time, a deep male voice responded. "Yes, there's much more. There's stars and moons and planets.... And compared to all that, this planet is just a small grain of sand."
"Really?" me smiled and opened her eyes, the blue resuming. "But you're so big."
"There are bigger things than me out there, Haru." A pause, then a feminine voice. "There are lots. Now let's get back home."
Flash forward 3 years.
"See, we could make a garden there, and a lake there, and possibly a field there...." Teenage me was wearing something similar to a hard hat, but it was green and shimmered. Whenever she spoke, that natural thing she listed popped up at wherever she pointed. After about 1 minute, she was standing in Eterna Forest.
"See? So pretty. We could call it Eterna Forest," suggested I. Arceus (who was in human form and also wearing a hard hat) nodded. "Eterna Forest it is. Now," he said, clapping his hands as if to rid dust, "We have to get to work on the rest of this region."
"I know. But you've got to give each area the proper amount of care, or else it won't grow properly." Me did this with a disapproving click of her tongue, then flashed and disappeared.
I opened my eyes and blinked. I was lying in my bed. Sighing, I got up... And put my hand on a note. I picked it off my hand and read it.
Dear Haru,
It was fun re-watching your first life with you. Now come and eat breakfast because your Shreddies are going to get all soggy and nobody likes it when their Shreddies are soggy (or any cereal, for that matter) and it's gross. So hurry up.
Why are you still reading this?! I thought I told you to get to the kitchen!
~Emrit
P.S. WHY are you still reading?!
Taking that as my cue, I hopped off my bed and walked clumsily to the kitchen, crashing into walls like I was some sort of drunk person.
"Y'ello," said Yuxie upon me coming in. He was drinking orange juice (I think) and still had his eyes closed. Was he some sort of psychic or something?
"Ohayo," I mumbled, sitting down at the table. "Ow...."
"What's wrong?" Agnome was immediately at my side. "If it's a cut or bruise, I'll kiss I away for-"
"That's just going to make it worse," said Emrit, pulling Agnome away and sighing. "What's wrong?"
"My head hurts. It feels heavy. And..... And..... Now I have all these new names in my head.... Ow..." I rubbed my temples and put my head on my arms.
"Shreddies," chided Emrit. "And don't worry. It's just the memories coming back."
"The WHAT?!" I nearly jumped out of my chair- actually, I did, but Emrit pushed me back down.
"Memories." The look on my face was the WTF?! Face of David Tennant.
"Ooookay," Emrit sighed. "You..." She pointed at me. "Watch......" She pointed to my eyes. "Movie of your life......." She outlined a TV shape. "And memories......" She described this as little dots with her fingers. "Come back to your head." She tapped my head. "Get it?"
"No, but I'm going to say I get it anyways. I get it." I rose from my seat. "So.... What do I do now?"
Yuxie took a sip of his coffee- wait, he had coffee?! I quickly took the cup away from him and dumped the contents out in the sink.
"Coffee stunts your growth, Yuxie!" I scolded him. "You should know better!"
"We're already midgets, so who cares? We've grown all we can," mumbled Yuxie, sighing. "And.... That was the best cup of coffee I've ever tasted."
"Coffee gives you bad breath and yellow teeth!"
"Don't care."
"Well, you've GOT to care or else your body will disintegrate!"
"It won't do that, because that is impossible unless someone flames me or pours acid on me, but I am sure that will not happen anytime soon."
"I'll flame you if you guys don't stop arguing," said Emrit, butting into our argument. We stopped. "Now, you wanted to know what we do next?"
"I did, but in the way you said it, I really don't want to now-" I said.
"We're going to find Arceus and get Arceus back to normal, because Arceus 'woke up' yesterday and is currently ravaging....." She checked a small pink watch on her wrist. "Somewhere called Michina."
"Where's Michina?" I asked.
"Somewhere in Sinnoh, but for all I know, it could be somewhere else."
