The new threat
Team Saviours travelled on for many days, until they finally reached the sea. They didn't know what to do, though. They would somehow have to get across the sea to be able to contnue their mission. But since none of them could swim and only Feather could fly, they had a little dilemma.
"I won't swim." Whitetail stated and touched the water with her paw. "Brrr, it's freezing! Shadow, why can't you just try to contact another legendary?"
"I don't think I'll do that." Shadow replied. "We've disturbed them enough. We should be able to cope on our own."
"That's true." Mighty said. "They'll start thinking of us as children that can't do anything on their own if we do that. We should use our skills and wits to get ourselves out of this situation."
"I think we should contact them." Aura said. "There is no possible way of solving this without doing it! We've done enough already! We already know that Darkrai is behind this, there's no need to know the details!"
"Hey, why are we even doing this?" Feather asked. "Why can't we just go to Treasure Town? I've always wanted to go there!"
"Not now, Feather!" Whitetail yelled at him. But before she got to say anything else, a bright light appeared before them, and when it disappeared, Reshiram was standing in front of them.
"Reshiram!" Aura yelled in surprise. "Why are you here?" The white dragon didn't have his usual kind smile, he seemed very serious.
"We don't have time to discuss this, Lady Aura." he said. "Climb onto my back, all four..." He spotted Feather. "...no, five of you. We're going to the Hall of Origin."
"Why?" Whitetail asked as she used Shadow Force to reappear on Reshiram's head. "Does my mother expect us to be finished with the mission already? We're not even halfway through it!"
"Your mission can wait." Reshiram said calmly as the rest of Team Saviours made their way onto his back. "This is much more important."
"What could be more important than finishing the mission Arceus gave us?" Shadow asked as Reshiram flew off. "Is there a problem?"
"Yes." Reshiram replied. "I don't know exactly what it is about. I only know that it was something that made Arceus fall down from her throne in surprise."
"Well, then it must be really serious." Aura said. "I can't imagine Arceus doing that without a reason."
"Arceus?" Feather questioned. "Who's that?"
"You don't know that?" Mighty yelled in shock. "Oh no, I knew we shouldn't have taken him with us."
"Well, if you live far from the civilization and are as young as him, you wouldn't know either." Aura stated.
"You forget that I lived in the Tribe of Wilderness." Mighty said. "It's quite the same. But I knew who Arceus was when I was his age!"
"Yeah, but the Tribe's history is tied to Arceus." Whitetail said, surprising everyone. "Oh, didn't I tell you that I sneaked into Nightfang's library and found out something pretty interesting! Did you know that Mighty's ancestor, King Yen, killed your mentor in your former life, Aura? And that my mother hates the Tribe because of that? Good she doesn't know where Mighty comes from..."
"Interesting." Reshiram, who seemed annoyed to have been forgotten, said. "I think she would value that piece of information a lot, Whitetail."
"You're not telling her!" Whitetail hissed and made a move with her paws as if she was about to unleash Claws of Light and Darkness. "Or else..."
"All right, I won't." Reshiram said as the beautiful golden and white palace that was the Hall of Origin came into view. He landed elegantly just outside the entrance, and Team Saviours jumped off.
"Wow!" Feather yelled and stared at the palace. "I've never seen such a thing!"
"I'll be seeing you another time." Reshiram said and flew off. Team Saviours together started walking inside.
"Well, last time we got lost, but this time you don't have to worry!" Whitetail stated. "During the time I've spent here, I've learned to find my way perfectly! This way!"
Ten minutes later, after Whitetail leading them through the complicated labyrinth that all the rooms formed, Aura sighed.
"We're lost, Whitetail."
"I know!" Whitetail yelled in frustration. "I HATE THIS DAMN HALL!" she yelled even louder and sat down on the floor.
"I told you not to call it 'the damn hall'." a calm feminine voice came from behind them. Arceus stood behind them, watching them in curiosity.
"Arceus!" Shadow and Aura yelled happily.
"Mum! Hi!" Whitetail yelled and jumped onto Arceus and climbed onto her head. "Is Dad anywhere around?" Arceus suddenly looked worried.
"Giratina is not here right now, but I believe he will be coming back soon." she replied.
"Who are you? Are you Whitetail's mum? Cool! But she doesn't look like you." Feather said. Arceus cast an annoyed look at Feather, which soon turned into a shocked stare.
"Could that be... Feather?" she whispered and watched him closely. "Yes... You have the same aura as him... I had not expected this..."
"Anyway!" Whitetail jumped down from the top of Arceus' head. "Why did you send Reshiram to get us here?" Arceus stopped staring at Feather.
"Early this morning, Giratina returned from his regular morning flight. He told me something very shocking."
"What? Did he tell you he has a crush on someone else?" Whitetail asked as innocently as someone asking that question can sound. Arceus gave her daughter a murderous glare.
"Giratina would never do such a thing." she spat before continuing. "The Pokémon World was, until early this morning, a land with no enemies, except for Darkrai and the shadow army. But now, there is a new threat."
"What threat?" Mighty asked. "What could be as serious as Darkrai?"
"It is something our land hasn't seen since 3.000 years ago." Arceus said. "Humans."
A/N: I said in the last chapter that the next arc would begin in three chapters, but I made a change in the story to make it start already in the next chapter!
So, the first arc is finished now! And I think it'l be easier to write the next one, because I've been looking forward to it for so long!
Make sure to review! The next chapter will be up faster if I get a lot of reviews!
