BlazingBlueFire14 asked me to do a chapter regarding any trio with what's going to happen in this chapter, however primary trios (or at least their masters) from all six regions have had their own chapter. As such, I made this with the focus on the Swords of Justice, I hope you don't mind that, Blaze!


The Hall of Origins is massive, and Arceus made sure to include whatever the legends could need or want (and would later add whatever she'd missed when it was requested). And right now, we find the primary members of the Swords of Justice in the break room. Even while 'resting' in the hall, they keep training themselves, both in poke- and human form, much to Arceus' chagrin, since they are supposed to take it easy while here, but in the end, it is their choice.

All of a sudden, Keldeo enters the room, finally having finished his training (albeit he hadn't trained harder than the others: he was just late at getting started, having overslept, much to Cobalion's irritation) "Hey, Cobalion?"

"..." the Iron Will pokemon was adamant in not answering due to the Colt pokemon's tardiness.

"Are you still angry? I did apologize!"

"..."

"Argh... hey, Terrakion?"

"'Sup, kid?" the Cavern pokemon answers leisurely.

"I just can't help but ask... does the Swords of Justice have a leader akin to the legendary trios of other regions?"

Virizon came out to join the discussion, originally wanting to dry her hair after the shower but considered this topic to be more interesting. "Actually, I'd like to know that, too."

"You don't know either, Virizon?" Keldeo asked, almost flabbergasted at the notion.

Terrakion just sat and wondered what to answer. Cobalion is the de facto leader of the group, but he's not considered the trio leader (or maybe quartet leader...).

"Is that why you were late to training today? You were up all night, pondering on such a trivial matter?" Cobalion asked with a neutral face, but his voice was anything but friendly.

"Cut the kid some slack, Cob, Arceus has stated that we're supposed to rest while we're here! If anything, we're the ones in the wrong!"

"I wasn't talking to you, Terrakion, and what's with the 'Cob'? Refer to me as Cobalion or Leader, lest I shall take it as either an insult or a challenge to my authority."

"Oh~? And what if I -do- challenge your 'authority'? Watcha gon' do 'bout it?" the last part Terrakion added just to spite Cobalion, as he hated such way of speaking.

Cobalion rose from his seat and stared at Terrakion on the other side of the table. "You would do well to remember that -I- am the leader for a reason! The Swords of Justice exist to protect the weak, as such we have no room for weakness. I accepted Keldeo into our ranks because of his great sense of justice, but if he cannot keep up with us, I will expell him as I will not allow him to be a burden."

This made Terrakion angry, as he liked the youngster. Angry rambling or not, he would not let this slide. "Oh yeah? And you would expell me or Virizon as well if we were unable to keep up with you, is that it?"

"Guys, calm down!" Virizon tried to quell the fighting, but the fires of anger had burned too long already.

"If you would become a burden I would leave you both behind and start from scratch without hesitation. Justice doesn't work with good will alone."

Terrakion had had enough and literally pounced Cobalion, jumping over the table while doing so. The two of them took on their pokemon forms and began fighting, breaking the various furniture in the room. Various attacks flew around, but one particular attack destroyed the wall to the room on the other side. Keldeo and Virizon noticed that -something- was destroyed by either the attack or the falling wall in the process.

Virizon was normally the calm one, but with the sense of impending doom, she roared with a voice unbefitting of a woman "STOP FIGHTING AT ONCE!"

Both Terrakion and Cobalion stoppped in their tracks and stared at her in wonder. Virizon -never- raised her voice like that.

"Look at what your fighting has done!" she said, pointing at the destroyed wall.

Terrakion just stared in confusion. "Uh-huh? Arceus can fix the wall, no problems."

"It's not the wall you lumbering boulder, it's what was behind it!"

The duo looked at what Virizon was pointing at, and their faces paled. Meloettas karaoke machine. Their collective thought was 'oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit'.

"Let me take a look, maybe I can fix it!" Keldeo said hopefully, and went over to it. But it's not really possible to 'fix' something that's been crushed by a wall.

Virizon, meanwhile, had a bright idea. "I'll go see if I can find Celebi. You three wait here and prevent Meloetta from finding out."

The trio of men nodded, and starting working on the wall and trying to hide the now flat machine. A sound of humming chilled them to the bone, because only Meloetta hums like that. The trio stared at each other, and ran to different positions, with Terrakion and Cobalion trying to stand in front of the machine while Keldeo left the room to try to intercept Meloetta.

"Oh, Meloetta! Fancy meeting you here, eh heh heh..."

"Why, hello there, Keldeo. Training hard as always?"

"Huh? Er, yeah..."

"Why don't you take a break? I was thinking of singing and I would love to have a audience."

"Sure!"

"We can take turns with my karaoke machine and-"

"NO!"

"Huh?"

"Uh... I mean... why don't we do it in the hall's dining hall? I'm sure everyone would enjoy hearing you sing while eating lunch!"

"Oh, sure!"

The two left and the remaining of the Swords of Justice breathed a sigh of relief. A few mínutes later, Virizon returned with Celebi.

"Alright, alright, what needs fixing?"

The three swords pointed at the machine.

Celebi merely looked at Virizon with a raised brow. "The way you were talking, it sounded like it would be the end of the world if it weren't fixed soon. So why's this so important?"

"It's Meloetta's."

"Mhm? Why don't you just apologize?"

"OH H*LL NO!" the three said in unison.

"Why not? What's the worse that could happen?"

"That she won't forgive us."

"Don't tell me you are scared of her..."

"Not of her..."

"Wuh...?"

"There was a rumor some time ago that floated around, and Keldeo managed to confirm it..."

"Ok?"

"There's a... certain legend in the hall that fancies Meloetta... like, -really- fancies her. And if he hears that we made her cry because we destroyed her favorite karaoke machine, death would be preferable to what he would do to us."

"Who are you even talking about?"

"...Mewtwo..."

Even Celebi gulped at that. Mewtwo was -not- someone you angered without regretting it. With a bit of time travelling, making sure to avoid paradoxes and doom-causing changes, Celebi returned with the machine in a prime state. "But you know, you -should- apologize, now that the machine is fixed and all."

"No way."

"Nuh-uh."

"I'd rather not."

Celebi sighed. "Suit yourselves."

Despite their best efforts, Meloetta somehow found out that they had broken her machine. Keldeo seemed guilty when Meloetta returned, and only Cobalion and Terrakion got punished by Mewtwo in the following week. The punishment was light, seeing as they tried to fix it, but that didn't change the fact that Mewtwo was -very- thorough...


Not gonna lie... I made Cobalion out to be a douchebag, simply because of the struggle he gave me in ORAS when I tried to capture him... goddamn thing had 1 hp from False Swipe, on top of being paralyzed AND I brought out my level 100 Mewtwo for the sake of making his situation feel hopeless (I don't know if it's true, but I just have the feeling that capturing becomes slightly easier if the wild pokemon is up against a stronger foe), yet I spent 30 Ultra Balls and 14 Timer Balls before he FINALLY got caught...
