I slowly pried Mystic from me before I stood up and looked at Chains. I felt my hands begin to clench as I stepped back. I slowly walked backwards until I felt the wall against my back. I sighed in frustration trying to calm down from the anger. I smirked as Chains raised her hands "you really want to fight an underground fighter Chains?" I asked as I started to crack my knuckles and raise my own fists, I felt like something was off with the fight that was about to happen as Chains stepped forward and went to throw a right hook to my temple if I hadn't blocked with my left arm and returned in kind with a right jap to her face seeing it impact her nose and I heard a satisfying crunch at the impact.

I stepped back slightly and brought my arms up in a defensive posture with my right hand back near my right cheek ready for throwing a blow while my left hand stayed close to my head for an immediate block. I saw Chains raise a hand to her now bleeding nose and I took it as my chance and threw my right hand as hard and as fast as I could. I saw it impact her temple and I stared as she crumpled to the floor knocked out. I sighed and after rolling her over I put my hands on her nose and held them there to stop the blood. I eventually managed to stop the bleeding and I stood up only to feel an intense heat behind me, I turned around raising my blood covered hands only to stare into a livid moltress.

"Matthew. I will make sure you're sent back to earth. I will make sure you suffer from this event." I smiled at her words and decided to reply "going to kill my loved ones are you? Going to kill the ones I care about are you? Well I hate to tell you but I beat you to it as the last person I cared for died just a few days ago. Sorry but as people on earth say. Good riddance and goodbye bitch. Or whatever foul term you use in your native orange parrot language. And if you make me angry after this I'll make sure everyone knows that you aren't around anymore. As a famous movie director once said, now that's what I call a dead parrot." I saw her face contort in rage as I saw her rear her head back and I prepared for whatever it was that she would throw at me.

I then watched as she unleashed a flamethrower at me which hurtled towards me at a blinding speed. I felt it impact but when I didn't feel my body get burned to a crisp I decided to use this to my advantage. I closed my eyes and lowered my head as the flames roared around me until the sound stopped and I heard moltress gasp. I smiled and slowly opened my eyes and raised my head. "Try it again, this time but your real effort into it. Don't tell me that, that flamethrower was your best shot. Heck if it was Rachel is stronger than you; her attack at least nearly killed me. So if you're fine with being weaker than her have her do it. If you're not I got all the time in the world so I can wait for the supposed bird of fire to finish me off."

I saw moltress flare up before I heard Rachel whispering to someone, I saw moltress unleash another flamethrower but this one glowed with a blinding orange and it sounded like a hurricane of fire as it hit me but still nothing happened. Until a sudden burning sensation began on my right eye, I sighed and continued to withstand the burning sensation and when the fire faded around me moltress stumbled back with a look of shock on her face. I sighed and looked at the ceiling before seeing a faded version of Rachel throwing a right hand at me. I soon realized what was going on and grabbed her hand just before it impacted and stared into her eyes.

I saw Rachel widen her eyes as a sudden fear overtook them as she stared into my right eye. I then saw my reflection in her eyes and saw that my right eye the iris had turned blood red and three tear like shapes spaced evenly around the iris that were coloured black instead of my usual ocean blue like my left eye. I sighed and released her hand and turned back to moltress "I never knew I had this in me, I guess I'll be going now. Nice talking with you all and meeting new people, oh and when Chains wakes up tell her that whatever is up here after I leave here for good can be burned or she can keep. It would be the least I could do." I sighed as a bright light surrounded me and then my world filled with black.

I opened my left eye to see I was in an alleyway in an unfamiliar town. I sighed and walked out before noticing that a pair of sunglasses was strapped to my shirt which had just reappeared. I turned out of the alleyway to see the street lined with houses on either side with not to many people around. I decided to walk to the left and when I did I heard muttered voices behind me by a few feet and I continued thinking they were talking to each other until "hey can you wait up a minute?" One of them asked and I then knew I was again around at least one female. I turned around only to see no one "down here." I heard that voice again and when I looked down I saw that I was surrounded by the Eeveeloutions.

I knelt down to their level and looked into their eyes until the Umbreon spoke "can you help us?" I turned to look at her and nodded "yes I will help you and don't ask how I know how to understand you." I said as I got to my feet and continued walking with the rest of the Eeveeloutions following behind. I continued walking passing absolutely no one in the town "hey you know where any of the residents are?" I asked before seeing a dark shadow slowly extending from one of the buildings. I gasped and walked forward towards the shadow and turned around, I saw that the Eeveeloutions had vanished "right Darkrai I'll give you props for that trick. I did not see that coming."

I clapped slowly as I opened both my eyes as Darkrai appeared in front of me and I heard a muffled gasp come from her "how do you possess the chosen power?" she asked with fear in her voice "oh this? I got hit by moltress in a flamethrower and it just appeared. But what's the point of this?" I asked back seeing Darkrai start to smile "you won't get me to say what it is, you don't control this area." I smiled at her words and stared straight into her single blue eye "then answer me this. If we were to fight who would win? I can see every move you're about to make before you make it. I guess this eye isn't pointless after all." I continued to smile as Darkrai made a table appear between us.

She then summoned up two chairs and sat down in one of them, I started to slowly sit down still keeping my senses on alert and when I did finally sit down Darkrai made a motion with her hand and suddenly we were surrounded by the legendary Pokémon and their champions but it was like they couldn't see us at all and they weren't there to begin with as they just passed right through us "tell me Matthew. Why did you want to be in this position?" Darkrai asked and I lowered my head to rest against the table before answering "because Mystic didn't deserve what you did to her, I however do deserve the suffering you put her through. I merely wanted to trade, let me guess. You took the opportunity when I fell unconscious to take me here."

I saw her smile again "very good Matthew. Now please answer me why you attack everyone like they threaten your life and are always getting defensive when your parents are brought up?" I closed both my eyes before answering "because if I ever tried to fight someone like a friend other opponents see it as a weakness and will taunt you for it. As for my parents they are both dead, I don't want to talk about how they died but they did and that's all that really matters I guess." I saw Darkrai's smile falter before she asked another question "If I could tell you that there was a way to bring your whole family back for you would you assist me in it?" I snapped my head up to stare at her a scowl forming on my face.

"Even if it were possible I wouldn't assist. I would never give in to any temptation you might do to whisper corrupt lies into my ears while I do all your dirty work. I would rather die than serve you." I saw Darkrai's eye flash in anger "if you won't assist me then I don't see the point in keeping you here any longer. You have let Arceus and that other being persuade your mind. Just remember I know how you work now Matthew Charles Sanders." I smiled as Darkrai stood up and snapped around and vanished into thin air leaving me to briefly observe the legendary Pokémon as I started to feel like I was sinking and when I looked down I saw my feet were already submerged into the ground. This continued until my eyes touched the ground and my world again went black.

I gasped and opened my eyes only to see the roof of the infirmary again "seriously? If this continues this might have to become my new living quarters." I muttered to myself as the door opened and I immediately closed my eyes before opening them slightly to see Rachel walking towards me with a sad look in her eyes and behind her there were nearly all the champions in Pokémon form and I felt Rachel sit near my left hand and I nearly jumped when her hand gently touched my forehead and stroked my black hair off my forehead before I felt her gently press her lips against it before getting up and turning to leave. Seeing this as my opportunity I opened my eyes and as soon as I did gasps filled the room.

"Rachel he's wake." I heard Mystic speak and when I looked over I was greeted with Rachel who brought me into a hug and she began to shake lightly. I gently patted her back as I looked towards the other champions before seeing Sarah slowly walk over next to me. "Mathew, what did you see in that nightmare?" I looked at the wall before answering "just that I supposedly have the chosen power with my right eye and that she could apparently bring some people from my past back from the dead. I refused the offer and I said I'd rather die than do it. She also was trying to be civil during it. You wouldn't happen to know anything about any of this would you Rachel?"

Rachel froze up in my arms as everyone once again let out a gasp "Rachel we need to explain this to him. He will find out eventually, better that he knows now than let him figure it out on his own." Sarah said and I snapped my head to look at her "I'm right here and I'm not deaf. What is going on?" I was starting to stand up with Rachel still in my arms when Mystic walked forward and was standing in front of me "Arceus will explain. Please hurry, and don't do anything stupid after you know." That really got me interested and as I followed Mystic out of the infirmary into the pure white marble corridor I began to feel Rachel hugging me tighter and she was now shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.

We reached the main hall in a matter of minutes where there was yelling coming from inside. I gently pulled Rachel from me and gave her to Mystic "you two stay here." I said and they both nodded and without another word I pushed open the double doors immediately met with Moltress's voice "HE WILL NOT STAY. LOOK AT WHAT HE HAS CAUSED. HE CHEATED HIS WAY INTO OUR RANKS. HE MUST BE SENT BACK OR I'LL MAKE SURE HE NEVER SEES LIGHT AGAIN." I plugged in my headphones again as Wake the white wolf by Miracle of sound started to play. I walked forward calmly before Moltress saw me and got ready to unleash another flamethrower but I merely walked towards Arceus who was ready to protect me I guessed by the way she was tense and was looking ready to jump in front of anything.

I saw Arceus say something to Moltress but I didn't hear it but it had to be a gesture to leave because Moltress began to move towards the door before disappearing completely. I unplugged my headphones and looked up to Arceus "I need to talk with you if you have the time." I said and she nodded "of course Matthew. What about?" I took a deep breath before answering "it's about the nightmare Darkrai put me in. She mentioned something about the chosen power which I have no idea what it is and she also offered me to work for her. I denied but then she said she could bring back my parents and brother back from the dead. I just want to know what's going on."

Arceus then suddenly turned into her anthro form, she was a woman who looked to be in her mid-twenties and had shoulder length blonde hair with emerald green eyes. She was wearing a pure white silk gown with gold weaved in as well in diamond patterns. "Matthew what you are about to hear is something not to be taken lightly. Do you wish to know anyway knowing that once you do hear the truth there will be no going back?" I nodded "Arceus I just want answers. I wish to know just so that I can have some comfort instead of more fear slowly building up." I said seeing Arceus nod her head and begin turning away "alright then. Follow me." I followed her until we were in a room I assumed to be hers.

"Matthew this power you have in your eye is a part of your blood. It was going to happen anyway but what you do with it must be done for good. I know very little about what it does but there is a prophecy saying that a boy with a past filled with fear will rise above it and re-join with those he cares for. As for Darkrai promising to bring back your family she is trying to bring you over to your uncle." Arceus stopped herself and I looked at her with a deep anger in my eyes "so you mean to tell me. That Darkrai works for that miserable human?" I seethed and Arceus shook her head "no Matthew she works for Giratina. And you can probably guess what I'm trying to say."

I took a step back as I looked down at my hands "so all this time, I've been a monster. A killer, and who I considered my family not to be my real family. Who is my real family?" I asked as I started to feel weak in my knees as Arceus stood slowly and walked over to me "Matthew. Please understand that I tried to hide it, I'm sorry Matthew. I'm so sorry my dear boy. I'm so sorry." I stepped back again this time looking at Arceus watching her every move "I don't fully understand. Are you saying that?" Arceus nodded before I could finish "yes Matthew, we are your family. I'm sorry for not telling you sooner and I hope you can forgive me." I felt Arceus put her hand on my shoulder and gently pull me into a hug.

I suddenly broke down, crying into her shoulder as she gently rubbed up and down my back "don't worry Matthew. We're here for you now and that's all that matters." I heard her gently whisper as I continued to sob into her shoulder. I eventually stopped after ten minutes and stood straight before stepping back. I looked away from Arceus as I finally understood what was going on "so what now?" I ask and I felt Arceus put her hand on my shoulder again "what do you mean what now?" I sighed again before putting my own hand over hers and let it rest there "I mean how is this going to continue? Moltress hates my guts and I'm sure half of the other legendary Pokémon feel the same."

I looked over my shoulder to see that Arceus had a serious look on her face "Matthew I'll call a meeting on this matter, you will be there. It will happen in two hours so make sure you're there." I nodded and without a word I left her room and walked back out of the meeting hall and when I opened the door I saw that Moltress was there with the Blaziken who looked ready to fight "Matthew you will not be sent back to earth so I will make sure you're filth is staying away from the hall and all its inhabitants before you corrupt all of us. Blaze if you will." Moltress spoke and the Blaziken nodded before walking towards me and I slowly raised my hands which I quickly made fists.

I was soon nearly nose to nose with Blaze before Rachel turned the corner "Moltress that's enough. What is your problem with him?" I heard Rachel say but I raised a finger in her direction "Rachel stay out of this, Blaze won't be a problem. Now that I learned a thing or two it will be easier than the first encounter." I watched as Blaze went to throw a right hook but I jumped back and focused on picturing a rough sea. Soon I was surrounded by a blinding light and when it faded my shirt was now a deep calming blue with the ring of Arceus on it. My pants were now a deeper blue but with a wave pattern around the legs. Blaze took a step back in shock and I smiled "hydro pump".

I then raised a flat palm and when I pointed towards Blaze a torrent of fast moving water shot from my hand. I saw Blaze's eyes contort in fear before it impacted directly over her chest and I watched Blaze go flying back before hitting the ground and rolling for a few seconds before stopping face down. I sighed and walked away from the scene towards Rachel who was looking at me with admiration. "Matthew?" she asked and I turned my head to look at her "yes Rachel?" I saw Rachel start to blush as she tried to hide her face from me but I had already seen it. "Matthew about what happened earlier. I'm sorry; I don't know what came over me." I slowly reached an arm over and pulled her close to me "hey now. It's alright Rachel. I was just surprised that's all."

Rachel nodded and I slowly let go of her as I felt someone hug me around my upper torso from behind. I looked over my shoulder to see Mystic was doing it and I smiled warmly at her before turning around and hugging her back. I slowly pulled Mystic closer to me as Blaze slowly stood and I then pictured a graveyard in the middle of the night with a fog ankle high with a still breeze. Suddenly I was again enveloped in a bright light and when the light faded my attire had changed again. I now had a pitch black ankle length robe with some symbols on the robe that were glowing a deep, dark purple. I stepped forward before raising a hand and pointed it at Blaze who stopped in her tracks.

"You attack me you will end up in the ground. I don't care how I do it and how bloody it is. I will do it, so don't even try it. Think it by all means but one attempt on me while I'm in this form you will end up with broken bones and mind. Am I clear?" I spoke and noticed how my voice had morphed into a dark ghostly whisper but carried so that everyone could hear it. Blaze nodded fearfully as she looked at me and I turned my back to them. I walked back to my room only to see the door open, I was again enveloped in a bright light and when it faded I was myself again except with an amulet with the ring of Arceus around my neck. I looked inside the room to see Chains was lying in my bed with a damp puddle around her head as she was slowly breathing "she cried herself to sleep. Why on my bed though?"

I wondered to myself and stepped inside slowly closing the door behind me. I slowly walked over and sat next to her sleeping form seeing that some of her hair had stuck to her face as dry tear streaks matted her face. I gently pulled her hair from her face and stroked her cheek as I saw her start to smile in her sleep. I sighed and tried to lie down only to be trapped in a hug by Chains when I touched the bed. I slowly closed my eyes as Chains moved slightly and placed her head on my chest and when she did I noticed she was awake. "Chains?" I muttered as Chains looked up at me and went to move but I wrapped an arm around her "Chains it's obvious you have been crying over something. You don't have to tell me but just know that I'm here always willing to listen."

Chains nodded and smiled at me before turning into her Pokémon form and curled up next to me and draped her triangle tipped tail over my chest before she fell asleep again. I smiled at her sleeping form which now was one of happiness and then the door opened and Rachel poked her head in "Matthew the meeting is on." I nodded and got up slowly before planting a gentle kiss on Chains's forehead being careful of her horns and after doing that I stood up and walked over to the door seeing Rachel was smiling slightly and when I reached her she quickly yanked me out of the room and I was nearly colliding with her but I planted my feet to stop myself.

"Rachel if the meeting is on we should hurry but if I fall it's going to slow us down." I sighed and Rachel nodded and walked forward as I followed close behind her. We eventually reached the meeting room and I sighed as Rachel turned into her true form and opened the doors for us both and I walked in immediately getting a hateful glare from nearly half of the legendary Pokémon in the room so I plugged in one headphone and smiled as it started to play Shepherd of fire by Avenged Sevenfold. I slowly let the music take me away until Rachel went over to me "Arceus asked you if you were enjoying your stay here." I stood straight before answering.

"Yes I am enjoying the stay here more than down on earth which wasn't much. The hospitality is certainly a welcome change though waking up in the middle of the night to a pair of cyan eyes isn't welcome." Articuno gasped and glared at me as I stood with my arms behind my back. I waited until Arceus asked another question "do you remember anything happening that wasn't…friendly during your stay up here?" I nodded and answered "I have caught a glimpse of a being, a single blue eye and she was dressed all in black with pure white hair. She called herself Darkrai, she told me of a prophecy that I somehow am the one it speaks of and Moltress occasionally attacking me with sub-par attacks that don't hurt me in any way other than my patience and my resistance not to lash out and attack back."

I saw Moltress shoot me a glare as I noticed how no one had questioned my eye but that changed when a blur of pink slammed into my face and nearly knocked me off my feet. I then reached my hands up and grasped this unknown thing and then pulled it off me and held it at arm's length realizing that I was holding Mew "what's with your right eye human?" she asked and I noticed how angry she sounded and I let her go as she floated there "The eye is a part of this prophecy which I haven't heard of. It has its uses as well as when opened and I have a clear mind I can see what move your about to make before you make it. Of course if you intended to attack me in the first place it's already a loss."

Mew floated back before I saw Moltress start to have flames appear at the corners of her beak and I slowly walked forward "for example this attack that Moltress is planning on launching at me won't have any effect on me. Observe." I then focused again on a rough sea and I was again in water form just as Moltress unleashed a flamethrower and I just sighed and slowly raised my hand and muttered to myself "protect." A glowing blue wall was in front of me as the attack hit it my ears were filled with the cackling of the fire as well as Arceus and Rachel shouting for Moltress to stop as I began to speak over the fire "Moltress your attack is doing nothing so save your dignity and just stop."

I must have been heard because the fire stopped and Moltress was glaring at me absolutely livid. I sighed and walked back to stand next to Rachel as Chains and Mystic both walked in the doors only to be greeted with a quick command "kill him." I sighed at the command and walked towards them slowly as I pictured the graveyard and I was again in my dark form "Chains, Mystic. I can promise you one thing if you fought me. In this form I'd make it painless for you both. So how would you like this to happen?" I spoke again with a whisper that this time sounded raspy like someone that had just come back from the dead. I watched as Chains walked forward slowly and began to explain the rules.

"Only hand to hand, no powers at all. Don't think we'd go easy on you just because you're human." Chains spat as Mystic just stared at me before walking up to me "it was a pleasure knowing you Matthew. Maybe we'll meet in the afterlife." I nodded and stepped back "I see, well let's not keep these legendary Pokémon waiting with their entertainment shall we." I said and without another word the marble at my feet turned pitch black and it soon spread like a spiders web weaving around the floor as I stood still on it. I smiled as Moltress began to have fear in her eyes as I began feeling horrible pains on my shoulder blades and I then heard the sound of clothes being ripped as everyone in the room let out a shrill yell of fear.

What happened that caused the legendary Pokémon fear? I only ended it like this because I always fancied the cliff hanger endings as long as I plan to continue this which I do. So I'd leave this up to you as to guess what happens from now. I'd also have to give a recommendation to nightcore. Best blend of techno remixing of the song Poison by Alice Cooper. I also don't mind her new song Still worth fighting for. If you like techno and remixes I'd say give her a listen. As well as Weird Al Yankovic for his new studio album; if you don't have it now stop doing whatever it is you're doing and go out and buy it. It has the word Mandatory in it so it is required. Hurry up and listen to it.

Anyway I should also apologize to anyone here who reads my "Pain and Scaring" story but I'm going to have to put it on hold. Reason being is that I was listening to Heavy Metal 24/7 and I've just recently begun to get out of it so I can't continue it because of the mood I was in compared to the one I'm in now. I used to be internally angry at everything to do with life. So I just wrote it and now I've become calmer and more relaxed I can't make it continue at this current moment. I'm sorry to everyone who reads it. I also should explain as to why I haven't been keeping to my schedule, Basically it's because I wrote it and figured it out when I was alone in my home.

Now I've got a lovely girl and my schedule has been thrown out the window. I sincerely apologize for that but I'm starting to figure out my limits and when to give attention to my girl. I might if you people review it bring her on the next Authors note. With her permission of course. So until next chapter have a wonderful day and stay strong readers.
