A portal opened up and out came three Legendary Pokémon; Mew, Jirachi and Celebi. They seemed to be in a hurry if their frantic flying was any indication.
They flew quickly into the main building. It was a really big temple made of white marble, crystal chandeliers and polished drawings in the walls. The roof was being held by Greek style white marble columns. Quickly opening the temple's golden doors, they floated/flew inside.
The inside was as beautiful as it was the outside. Big columns held the ceiling from the edges of the enormous room while the rest was all white marble. Stories about every Legendary written in drawings littered the walls. In the middle of the room was a gigantic circular table with golden thrones around it, all various sizes to the seats to accommodate everyone. The biggest seat, the one higher than all the rest, was Arceus.
"We must call a meeting." Celebi said as he and Mew sat on their thrones. Jirachi nodded and, after gathering enough power that she would be heard by all the Legendaries throughout the multivers, let out a shriek. Celebi and Mew covered their ears as they glared at the screeching Jirachi. They hated when she did that but it could not be avoided. It was either that or go look for all the Legendaries throughout the multivers and, obviously, that would take ages.
After a few minutes of continued screeching, Jirachi finally stopped and sat on her golden throne.
It only took minutes before the rest of the Legendaries started appearing, a miracle considering sometimes they just ignored the call. With the way they were arriving, It didn't take long before almost everyone was on their thrones.
Everyone was talking or shouting, all trying to be heard above the rest. It didn't take long before a few started to get angry. It was Arceus, finally arriving, that called the meeting to start.
"Order!" Arceus yelled from his throne as he tried to quiet down the rest of the Legendaries. It seemed to do the trick because, as soon as he bellowed, he had everyone's attention.
"Thank you." He said, "Now, why has this meeting been called?"
At this, everyone looked at Jirachi. She looked around nervously and cleared her suddenly dry throat. 'She has never liked being the center of attention in our meetings' Celebi thought.
Jirachi seemed to shrink into her seat as everyone looked at her.
"We have found The Golden Radiance." She muttered softly, her white cheeks gaining a pink tinge.
"What?" Arceus said, "Please, speak louder."
Jirachi swallowed slightly and sighed before straightening up.
"Celebi, Mew and I have found The Golden Radiance" She said a little louder.
The silent room seemed to quieten even further. No one made a sound for a minute before everyone started talking. It was pandemonium. Everybody tried speaking louder than the other.
"They found it?"
"Where was it?!"
"What is it?"
"Silence!" Arceus bellowed again as he floated in his throne. Everyone quieted immediately.
"Did you really find it?" He asked Jirachi. She nodded meekly as she opened her 'True Eye' and released the soul contained within.
There was more than one confused look when they saw nothing more than Jirachi's open Eye. Arceus, Mew and Celebi, however, looked rather interested.
"Where is it?" Asked Cresselia, confused. She, like all others, couldn't see anything besides Jirachi's open 'Third Eye'.
"You must use either Psychic or Aura vision to see it." Jirachi informed them.
The other Legendaries quickly activated either Psychic or Aura vision and gasped. In front of Jirachi was an orb the size of a pokeball. It glowed golden while energy flowed gracefully inside it.
"What is that?" Manaphy asked.
It was Uxie who answered. His voice ha a tinge of awe. "A golden glow? It must be a pure soul." He said. "It is strange, however. We don't see many like that anymore. I wonder to which person it belonged."
Arceus nodded as he gazed at the soul, his eyes holding nothing more than pride.
"You are correct Uxie. This is a pure soul." He said as he used psychic to make the soul float in front of him, "It is, however, not just any soul. It is the soul of someone from another universe. Someone who was related to the Ash of that universe."
"Why did you want us to look for it?" Mew could not help but ask. They had spent two years looking for the sou and she felt she, like everyone else, deserved to know the reason as to why.
Arceus's look of pride turned sad as he answered. "Our Chosen One, the one destined to protect the Pokémon World from utter chaos, cannot be relied completely to protect it."
That statement caused unrest among the Legendaries.
"How so?" Mesprit asked nervously.
"I have seen the path our destiny is headed towards and I cannot say I liked what I saw." Arceus said, "Our Chosen One would have prevented immediate chaos, that is certain. However, he would not prevent what would come after he was gone. Teams Rocket, Magma, Aqua, Galactic, Plasma and Flare would come forth once more. This time united. While separate, they were an annoyance that could be dealt with. United, however, would make them nigh impossible to defeat. That is why I made it our priority to look for this specific soul."
"This soul" He continued, "Is the soul of Harry Potter, Ash's grandfather from another universe. With his helping and mentoring, Ash will be able to fulfill his destiny."
There was a sudden silence before Entei started yelling.
"Mentoring?! What mentoring?!" Entei argued, "You said that the soul is from another universe, correct? Then how will he be of any help to Ash? Even if he were to keep the memories of his past life he wouldn't be able to help anyhow. He wouldn't know anything! Even if he were to be reborn right now he would still be a year younger than Ash. What a mentor he would be!"
Everyone looked taken aback as Entei seemed to get angrier and angrier as he continued his argument.
Arceus chuckled. Uxie looked amused. Dialga started laughing. Celebi, serious Celebi, looked to be holding his laughter.
"What is so funny?!" Entei roared at them.
Arceus chuckled again. "He has already been born."
Entei looked confused. He wasn't the only one though. Every other Legendary, bar the ones laughing, looked confused too.
Uxie took pity on Entei and decided to explain. "Two years ago, right before we were sent to retrieve the 'Golden Radiance', a baby was born without a soul."
"I thought a person could not live without a soul." Mew said as she crossed her paws.
"That is true." Uxie said, "However, this case was special. Arceus used his Aura to mimic the involvement of the soul in the infants body. Because the soul is what produces Aura, the body 'thinks' it's alive. The rest is up to the brain."
Everybody looked at Arceus for confirmation.
"Correct as always Uxie." Arceus said with a nod at Uxie's direction.
"Now, while I might be confident in Harry Potter, I will not be taking any chances" Arceus said as the soul floated towards the lake trio. "Because of that, I had the infant be born in that dimension"
They looked confused for a moment before their eyes alight with understanding.
"What must we do?" Azelf said determined as Uxie 'grabbed' the soul.
"You, Mesprit and Uxie will take the soul and connect it with the body." Arceus said as he started floating out of his chair.
Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit nodded before they opened a portal and left. Jirachi looked a little confused though. When she had the soul in her 'Third Eye', she had felt powerful magic inside the soul.
"What of his magic?" Jirachi asked.
Arceus nearly scoffed. "Leave it. It is only good for silly tricks."
Jirachi nearly sighed. If only he had seen what it could really do.
Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit stepped floated out of the portal and flew through the trees as they searched for the soul's body.
"Where is it?" Mesprit asked as she and Azelf followed Uxie through the dark forest. Azelf shrugged.
"Over there!" Uxie said as they got out of the forest and came upon a town. The town was small, only consisting of five houses. Two houses had two floors while the rest only had one. Uxie headed towards the closest one with two floors. They stopped outside of the second floor window. Inside, tucked in bed, was a two-year old boy with unruly dark blue hair and emerald-green eyes being read a bed time story by his mother. They waited until the toddler had fallen asleep and the mother had left before they opened the window and floated inside.
"Is he the one?" Mesprit asked, curiously.
"Yes." Uxie said as he used psychic to connect the soul with the toddler. With a pink glow, the soul was absorbed into the body.
With their mission done, Mesprit and Azelf turned to leave only to see Uxie waving his arms at the child.
"What are you doing?" Azelf asked as the child glowed yellow before returning to normal.
"I have my doubts with this whole thing." Uxie said as he finished what he was doing. "To put my mind at ease, I have gifted the boy with a higher IQ."
"You think he was stupid?" Azelf asked.
"Stupid? No. Lazy and Unmotivated? Yes." Uxie said, "I merely did it for the sake of our destiny. If he is to be Ash's mentor, I expect him to be knowledgeable about Pokémon. I do not wish to bare witness to two Ash's walking around."
"That's harsh." Mesprit winced.
"But true, as you both know." Uxie stated.
Mesprit and Azelf shared a look and nodded. Floating towards the toddler, they raised their arms.
'I give to you the gift of willpower' Azelf thought as the baby glowed blue. 'May your determination be second to none'.
Azelf floated next to Uxie after he finished.
'I give to you the gift of emotion' Mesprit thought as the baby glowed pink. 'May your emotions be at your control, even in the harshest of times'.
With her blessing done, they opened a portal and went through it.
If they had stayed a few seconds more, they would have been greeted by the odd sight of the toddler glowing a myriad of colors. The toddler glowed for ten minutes before the colors seemed to be absorbed into a ball of light inside the toddlers chest.
