Below is the biggest MISC section yet, and by far the most important.
MISC: the original text. Diamond and Pearl still refer to Platinum as 'Lady' (ojou-sama お嬢様 for Diamond, ojou-san お嬢さん for Pearl), and I don't quite recall Platinum referring to Diamond as 'Dia'. She uses polite-form language to everyone, including her own Pokémon. Gold (of all people) refers to his seniors as 'senior' by adding the suffix of 先輩 (senpai), while all the others just add さん (san). Yellow adds the suffix of さん to everyone. Crystal adds さん to her seniors and くん (kun) to her juniors (well, at least Emerald). Seeing how Blue never really talked to her juniors (apart from Silver) that required the use of a suffix, it's hard to tell what she does. She probably doesn't add any suffix. Lastly, Silver refers to Blue as 'ブル－ねえさん' (ブル- (Blue) ねえさん (nee-san (roughly pronounced as 'ne-eh san', means 'sister'))) while Blue just calls Silver as… Silver. Examples: Gold would say "Red-senpai", while Crystal would say "Red-san" and "Emerald-kun". Yellow would say "Silver-san", and Silver would say "Blue-neesan".
Important note: the MISC above is not a random chunk of information like the name suggests. From this point on, I will try to change what Dex Holders say to match what the original. Meaning, Diamond and Pearl would never call Platinum by her name, but instead say 'Lady/Miss Lady', and Platinum will no longer call Diamond as 'Dia'. I had Silver say 'sis' from the beginning so that's fine. Gold will now refer to his seniors as 'senior'. For the likes of Crystal and Yellow, I won't include uses of 'san', 'kun', etc, because… they sound odd when in English. Meaning, nothing will change with what Crystal, Yellow, etc would say. I could change 'san' into 'Mr./Miss', but… that sounds odd (Yellow: "Mr. Silver?"), so no. For Platinum, however, she'll say Miss/Mr. to non-professor-or-Dex-Holders (Platinum: "Miss Candice") as a way of being polite. Now… for Black and White, Black is forced to call White as 社長, or 'president'. Just saying 'president' feels odd, so he'll say 'Miss President'. White called Black as 'Black-san' at first, but then changed to 'Black-kun', so… she'll just say 'Black' now. Therefore, no changes to Black and White.
Whew… Anyways, this one-shot is a sequel to when Platinum was killed. I felt bad about it, so this is me attempting to make amends.
Note: "all of the Dex Holders" mentioned below doesn't apply to Black (or White, assuming she gets a Pokédex for whatever reason).
Primary: Diamond & Platinum.
Revival:
"Hey, Dia! Wake up!"
Diamond slowly opened his eyes. When his vision focused, he could see Pearl looking at him. He looked rather happy about something…
"What?"
"You and I are going to Celestic Town, right now!"
"Why?"
"Celestic. Now!" Pearl yelled. "All the other Dex Holders will be there."
"Not all of them…" Diamond muttered. He turned and looked at the stone he was leaning on. It was Platinum's tombstone. "Not all of them, Pearl… There's one right here."
"Dia… no, Diamond," Pearl started slowly. "Look, it's been 3 years since Miss Lady died. I know her death was hard on you, but… wasting your life here isn't smart. I'm sure that she doesn't want you to do that either."
"Why don't you go and ask her?" Diamond retorted. 'It's my fault that she died. I never should've taken her out that day…'
"Maybe I will, Dia," Pearl replied. "I'm going to Celestic to meet all the other Dex Holders. And I mean all of them."
Diamond turned to face Pearl. "What do you mean by that?"
Pearl smiled. "I'll see you in Celestic, Dia."
"Pearl, what do you mean?" Diamond asked again. "Pearl?"
But the hasty Dex Holder had already left. Unable to bear the curiosity, Diamond quickly followed.
Celestic Town…
Diamond followed as Pearl led him towards a certain house, which he recognized as Cynthia's grandmother's. Pearl remained unusually quiet, and Diamond was unable to get any information out of him during the trip.
Unlike what Pearl said, not all Dex Holders were in the house. In fact, only Yellow and Crystal were there. Noticing the arrival of Diamond and Pearl, the Cynthia rose to greet them.
"We were waiting for you," she said.
Diamond remained standing, with his hands stuffed in his pockets. Pearl glanced at him before walking towards the other Dex Holders. Cynthia looked at Diamond with sympathy.
"So…" Diamond started. "Why are we here?"
Cynthia signaled him to take a seat, and he did. The Sinnoh champion sat across the table from him and took a deep breath.
"For the past year, I've been researching into various Sinnoh myths in hopes of-"
The Sinnoh champion trailed off when Crystal's Pokégear rang.
"Yo, Super Serious Gal, we're at Spear Pillar," came Gold's voice.
"Alright, Gold. Now, wait there until I-"
Yellow took out her Pokégear and called Green.
"Um… Green, where are you?"
"Turnback Cave. I can see a portal on the ground, and everyone in my team is accounted for. What now?"
"Um… go in. Please remember that you have to get Giratina to open a portal to the Spear Pillar, and then you have to follow it," Yellow replied after consulting with Crystal (who ignored Gold's complaints at this time).
"Understood."
Crystal turned her focus back to Gold. "Gold, Green's team has entered the Distortion World. Proceed as planned. Bring out the Adamant and Lustrous Orbs, and call back once the three Pokémon arrive at Spear Pillar."
Yellow turned to face Cynthia. "Is this really going to work, Miss Cynthia?"
"Yes. It's known that, with the powers of Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina nearby, Arceus can do virtually anything. But still, we should only try this once."
Diamond perked up. "Are you trying to tell me that…"
"Yes," Pearl answered instead. "For the past year, we've been researching the possibility of reviving Miss Lady."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Diamond asked, his voice trembling from a mix of excitement and hope.
"Because we were afraid that it wouldn't have a chance of working, and we didn't want to disappoint you."
Crystal walked over and put her hands on his shoulders. "Dia, we have every confidence that our plan will work. So I suggest you take this time to think of what you'll say to Platinum."
Pearl smiled. "Dia, I'll be sure to ask her that question."
Diamond put a hand on his head. "I think I need some time to process this."
Cynthia led Diamond to a bedroom to think things over. "I'll update you on the progress of our plan every half hour."
Diamond sat on the bed and took some deep breaths.
'Am I dreaming?' he thought. He pinched himself repeated on the face, but he still didn't wake up. 'So this is real…'
He dug into his pocket and withdrew a folded sheet of paper. He opened the sheet and read Platinum's last message. He could still remember her voice when she said it to him the first time.
"Thank you for everything Diamond… I really had fun spending time with you. But before we part ways forever, I… would like to tell you that… I… like you… … I love you…"
Just thinking that he would get to see Platinum again made him unusually anxious. He jumped to his feet and paced around, unable to sit still.
Two hours later…
Red's team (consisting of Red and Sapphire) emerged from the dark blue portal, after having successfully convinced Dialga to help. The 'convincing' must've taken some time and effort, as they were covered in scratches and bruises. The portal grew bigger and Dialga came out. It looked around at Spear Pillar and let out a thunderous roar.
At that time, Blue's team (consisting of Blue and Emerald) emerged from the dark pink portal. Unlike Red's team, however, the 'convincing' seemed to have gone very smoothly.
"Whew," Blue muttered. "Mission successful. How'd it go, Red?"
"Eh, it went okay," Red muttered, sitting on the ground. Sapphire sat beside him with a grunt.
"It could have gone better," the Hoenn girl muttered.
The energy detector started to beep loudly. Blue looked up at the sky, and as expected, a rip appeared. From the rip in space, Green's team (Green and Ruby) came out, along with Giratina, which then converted to the Alternate Form.
Gold jumped to his feet. "Alright. Now it's our turn," he said to Silver.
Silver pulled out a bag of all 16 Plates from his backpack while Gold retrieved something that Cynthia found a few months ago… the Azure Flute.
Meanwhile, Diamond continued to pace around the room. He took about 4000 laps around the bedroom, occasionally stopping when he got dizzy. Suddenly Pearl barged in.
"Hey Dia, let's practice a comedy act!"
"Huh? But… it's been 3 years since my last one."
"I know Dia. It's been 3 years for me too. But don't you think that Miss Lady would want to see one of our comedy acts once she returns? We don't want to be rusty now, do we?"
"I guess you're right. It's been too long."
10 minutes later…
Blue watched in agony as all 4 Legendary Pokémon were glowing in a regular tetrahedral shape. The pressure they exuded were enough to force Sapphire (who was too close to the Legendaries) to pass out and force the rest of the Dex Holders to suffer terrible headaches. As such, the Dex Holders moved as far away from the Legendaries as possible, and as such, they now sat right in front of the exit. Yet they still suffered minor headaches.
Red and Green were still standing firm, completely unfazed by the headaches. Blue forced herself to rise to her feet as well, as she didn't want to appear weak in front of everyone. She lost balance and almost fell as she tried to stand up, but Green caught her.
"Thanks, Green," Blue said with an embarrassed look.
Green ignored her and simply stared at the glowing mass of energy. Blue took her Silph Scope and with the zoom function, looked at the center of the tetrahedron. She could see a figure start to form in the center of the intense light and energy.
Ruby sat beside Sapphire and let her rest her head on his leg. The Hoenn girl was still unconscious, and it made him worry. He certainly hoped that nothing bad would-
Blue noticed something about the figure being formed, and quickly approached Sapphire. Seeing how the Hoenn girl was unconscious and thus didn't need her coat, Blue got Ruby to remove it. Afterwards, she forced the two Johto Dex Holders to sacrifice their coats as well.
A minute later, the 4 Legendaries stopped exuding the pressure as the massive amount of energy subsided. The figure in the center of the energy dropped to the ground.
"All you males, turn away!" Blue ordered. She quickly took the 3 coats and rushed towards the figure.
The figure, being Platinum, started to cough violently. She opened her eyes and looked around, surprised at the fact that she was alive. She looked at her hands and a strand of her long dark hair that appeared in her vision.
'Is… is this really happening?'
"Platinum!" came a familiar voice. The heiress looked up and saw Blue running towards her.
"S – Senior…" the heiress started. But her throat hurt too much for her to continue. Blue handed her junior the 3 coats, and the heiress, realizing that she wasn't wearing anything, hastily put the coats on to cover herself.
Once the heiress was dressed (as much as possible with 3 coats), Blue signaled the other Dex Holders to come, and under the eyes of the 4 Legendaries, had a tearful reunion.
A few hours later…
Platinum stood outside Cynthia's house, trying to steady her breathing. With Teleport (Crystal gave Blue an Abra for this task), she had returned home to dress herself properly and have a reunion with her family (almost gave her father and the old butler Sebastian heart attacks), and now have come to Celestic to reunite with Diamond.
With trembling hands, the heiress knocked on the door and clasped her hands over her heart. Before long, Cynthia opened the door, and her eyes opened wide in shock. To make this a surprise, Blue didn't report whether the mission as successful or not, and as such, Cynthia and the Dex Holders in Celestic Town had no clue what happened. After a few minutes, the Sinnoh champion let the heiress in and led her towards the other Dex Holders.
Inside, Platinum froze in place as she looked at Diamond, who also stood frozen.
"I – I – Is it r – r – really you?" Diamond stammered, unable to believe what he was seeing.
The heiress burst into tears and fell to her knees, unable to bear the emotions she was feeling. Diamond quickly ran towards her, also crying.
"I – I m – missed you s – so much!" Platinum cried, embracing Diamond when he came close.
Diamond couldn't talk, but embraced the heiress back. If he was dreaming, then he didn't want to wake up. If he wasn't, then his wish had come true, and there was nothing more he wanted.
They kissed in the middle of the room as several other Dex Holders wiped away their tears, and watched the return of her two juniors: Platinum, who had been revived, and Diamond, whose personality had returned to normal.
Once again, I felt bad about killing Platinum after she was shot four times. So now she's back, and won't die again.
Now, please continue pointing out which characters are out of character. For those who made suggestions, thank you. Your suggestions have been considered, and will take effect.
Current changes: Blue: less tricks and plans. Silver: more serious; so he'll talk less and show less emotion. Ruby: less of a pansy; he won't turn his tail and flee at the slightest sign of confrontation with Sapphire, and won't fear getting mashed into a pulp by her for a little while before he chickens out. Platinum: a little more naïve and panicky from time to time.
Post Ending:
"So, Miss Lady," Pearl said to the heiress after dinner.
"Yes, Pearl?" Platinum said with an extremely happy smile.
"Did you want Dia to spend his remaining life sitting next to your grave?"
"Of course not!" the heiress exclaimed. "Diamond, I wished that you would be happy. I would have preferred if you forgot about me and lived your life happily."
"I'm sorry, Lady," Diamond said after swallowing the cake in his mouth. "But now you're back. Now we can live on happily."
"Yes we can," Platinum said. "Oh, Diamond, Pearl, I wish to see one of your comedy acts. It has been too long since the last time."
Diamond and Pearl glanced at each other. "Of course. We prepared a few just for you."
Added after SE #024: The Set Up II…
What Could Have Been (a short segment. The whole replaced section would be a good 2/3 of a chapter):
"Are you ready, Red?" Blue asked through the headset from Celestic Town.
"As ready as I'll ever be," Red replied back from Mt Coronet.
"Okay, Red. Get to the Spear Pillar. You know what to do."
Red took his team (consisting of Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald) and headed towards the exit of the cave that led straight to Spear Pillar. His juniors followed close behind, all determined to successfully complete the mission.
"Alright, listen up," Red said as he looked at his juniors. "Our first priority is to find Dialga. Afterwards, we can get it to send us back in time so we can get Jirachi. Remember, the last time Jirachi was awake, Guile was there. This time, we'll blast him before he makes his wish, and we'll use that wish to revive Platinum. Understood?"
"Got it!" Sapphire said with a fist raised in the air.
"Alright then. Let's go!"
