A/N: SHAME ON ME! It's so long since I updated, and for that, I apologize. But this new arc has taken a lot of planning, and I've also been very busy with school and other stuff.

Anyway, hi there, people! Is everyone ready for the last arc? Good. Then, I hereby announce Arc 3, The Powers, started!

Speculations on Whitetail

"Finally we can just relax for a while!" Whitetail dropped down onto the bed in her room in the Hall of Origin. "Ahh. I love this bed." A few moments later, she was fast asleep, snoring.

"You're so lazy!" Feather landed beside her and started pecking at her. "Aww man, I wanted to have some fun!"

"Calm down!" Aura sighed. "We're all tired and want a rest!" She climbed up into the bed, which was big enough for all of them to sleep in, and lay down.

"It's so luxury!" Nyara followed Aura and lay down too.

"Why do all the girls want to sleep?" Feather complained. Then a smile lit up on his face. "I know! I'll go and talk to Whitetail's mum! She's so awesome!" And in a moment he had already flown out of the room.

"We should keep an eye on him." Shadow stated and followed.

"I guess so." Mighty cast one last look on their female teammates before following.

"Hiiiii! Can I talk to you?"

"Please leave me alone." Arceus poked Feather off his feet with her big golden hoove.

"Why?" The pidgey got up again.

"Just do it."

"But I don't want to!" the pidgey moaned, as Shadow and Mighty approached them. "Nah. Well, I'll just talk to Mr. Grumpy instead!"

"My name is not Grumpy!" Mighty hissed.

"Well, I decided that it is!" the pidgey replied. Shadow turned away from his quarreling teammates and watched Arceus, who stared off into the distance with a tired expression.

"Are you all right, Arceus?" he asked gently.

"What? Oh, yes. Just tired. Thank you for the concern." she replied, before walking off through the corridor. "If Giratina asks, I have gone for a small patrol. I need to see that nothing more strange is happening."

"All right." Shadow stated, before turning to Mighty and Feather. "Calm down already! Feather, his name is Mighty, or if you prefer it, Darkfur. Mighty, just ignore him." The two of them just stared at each other, before Feather broke the silence.

"Darkfur? Haha! Funny name!"

"You...!" Shadow had to grab Mighty to stop him from attacking Feather.

"What are you doing?" Giratina suddenly stuck his head out of a doorway.

"How are you feeling now, Lord Giratina?" Mighty snapped out of his angry state and turned to face Giratina.

"Much better, thank you." he said. "But I'm a little bit worried about Arceus. I fear that the sacrifice she made might have consequences."

"I bet she'll be fine!" Feather chirped without worry.

"I came to think of something." Mighty said. "Lord Giratina, do you have a clue about why Whitetail is an eevee?"

"Ah, you're wondering about that?" Giratina smirked. "We never told her this, Arceus and I, but we believe that she isn't."

"What?" Feather's confused expression was almost priceless. "She's an eevee... but she's not? ...Wait. What?"

"I'll explain." Giratina smiled. "When Whitetail's egg was lost for 3.000 years, and she finally was found, according to her by a leafeon named Leaf, we believe that the unhatched Whitetail somehow reacted to the species of the pokémon that grabbed the egg, and turned into one by herself."

"So you mean that she is an eevee because she was discovered by a leafeon?" Mighty asked. When Giratina nodded, he just stared. "So... If a muk had found her... she would have been... a grimer?"

"Yes." Giratina replied. The reactions to that were all different. Shadow chuckled lightly, Mighty looked horrified, and Feather just burst out laughing madly.

"Aaaaaall right! I'm ready!" Spirit yelled out and jumped out from behind a rock.

"Shut up!" Marionette and Dusk hissed in unison and dragged him back behind the rock where they, Blacktail and Darkrai were waiting.

"Look over there!" Blacktail muttered and pointed into the sky, where Arceus suddenly flew over them.

"I told you so." Darkrai said. "Hall of Origin lies just above here, so if anyone was to leave the hall, we can see it from this cliff."

"Well, should we start the plan?" Marionette asked.

"What was it about now again?" Spirit asked. Marionette, Dusk and Blacktail all facepalmed.

"Spirit...!"

"It works like this." Darkrai said, clearly irritated. "We'll follow Arceus until she comes closer to the ground, then we'll attack her with attacks of as many different types as possible. When we see what kinds of types she is weak to, and with that which Plates she has lost, we'll continue with those attacks."

"Okay. Sure!" Spirit replied confidently. "Not a problem to me. ...Eh... Which type is weak to which now again?" The other commanders just facepalmed again.

"Whatever! Now let's go!" Darkrai spat, and with that, he and the commanders followed Arceus, who was completely unaware of the situation she was in.

A/N: Not really my longest or most eventful chapter, but I hope it was a good introduction to this final arc. Call it a "calm before the storm"... Soon all of you will find out why the story is named "Seven Powers". Please review!
