Chapter 6: The Trial
(Arceus's POV)
I look down at a human's house from a nearby cloud. Three times now Palkia has asked what significance is this human, and three times I ignore her. I watch as the two lesser Pokémon, Psy and Pyro, scan Alex. I tap in to their scan, and the scan proves what I suspected, Alex had absorbed Dialga, or rather, Dialga had given his powers to Alex. I continue to watch as I plant a suggestion for a nearby team of Espeons to go attack the small party. As they do, Alex transforms into Dialga, and erases them from existence. I frown. Alex has broken the number one Rule of Pokémon: Never kill another Pokémon. I watch as Alex is carried into his house by the two Pokémon. The two Pokémon talk briefly, and then I mutter to Palkia, who attempted to sneak up on me, as she has done countless times: "Palkia, ready the courtroom. Make Alex the defendant. Pyro and Psy will be helping him. You are to accuse Alex of destroying another Pokémon. Me and Giratina will be the witnesses, for I know Giratina was watching."
"At once, my lord." Palkia bows, and I enter the Judge's panel. As I do so, 50 or 60 Pokémon are teleported inside, species that I created to be the High-Hierarchy: Lucario, Gardevoir, Gallade, Lapras, Delphox, Greninja, Chesnaught, and many other final-evolution Pokémon. I recall Alex, Psy, and Pyro to the Defendant's table. Palkia takes her place at the Accuser's table. I send a mental sound of a gavel banging all throughout the room. I speak in my language, which both Pokémon and humans can understand: "Order in the Court!" I say.
(Alex's POV)
I hear a voice inside my head, and it isn't Pyro or Psy.
"You have broken a Rule" it says.
"What rule?" I reply
"The first rule: Never kill another Pokémon." The voice says with a bit of anger.
"Wait a minute, just who are you?" I ask.
"I am called Dialga, the Lord of Time. You and I both are in serious trouble with Arceus."
"Arceus? I feel like I have heard that name before… Yeah, Professor Sycamore told me his theory that a Pokémon exists called Arceus, and that he created the world as we see it."
"Yes, you are going to be held for trial, to be either found guilty or innocent. Arceus should be teleporting you right… now" At the word "now" I instantly find myself at a desk, with Pyro and Psy on either side of me. I look at where the Judge is usually, and I see Arceus standing there. I look to the opposite of me and see a white and pink Pokémon.
"ORDER IN THE COURT!" Arceus says. "Alex, you have been charged by Palkia for killing another Pokémon. Everyone else in this trial knows that this is a serious charge, not to be taken lightly. There are two witnesses to this encounter: myself and Giratina." A black-and-yellow Pokémon floats down next to Arceus from the ceiling, whom I identify as Giratina, the Lord of Distortion. "Replay the act!"
A video displayed by a Zoroark it divided into two. One is from an aerial perspective, another is from an eye-level perspective. The video plays and I see what I look like. As I destroy the Espeons, everyone except for me, Pyro, and Psy gasp in horror.
"C'mon Dialga, help me out here!" I think.
"I cannot. Only one can help you." Dialga says
"Who is that?"
"I know not his name, I only know that he exists"
"Yeah, like THAT helps…"
"I only said I did not know his name, I never said I did not know where he is"
"Well thank Arceus for that."
"I am making him come here now"
A figure is teleported in. He is a boy, about my age, and stands at about five and a half feet tall. He wears a blue and silver "I 3 Dialga" T-shirt, a black-stringed necklace with an obsidian skull on it, a sparkly brown hat with the word "SWAG" in green letters on the front, as well as black headphones. He wears jeans that look a bit short on him, and a brown belt with the Boy Scout symbol on the buckle. Attached to the belt is a very old mp3 player, which can be clearly heard throughout the courtroom. He looks around, a bit confused. He turns off his mp3 player and speaks.
"Alright, what is so important that I was interrupted during my concert?" He says angrily. I suddenly speak in a deep, resonating voice, through no will of my own. It must be Dialga.
"Hello, DJ. I am Dialga, speaking through Alex here. Alex is in Big Trouble with Arceus." says Dialga. He glares at Arceus, who steps back a little, total fear written all over his face. Pyro gasps in horror as she looks at him like she did to me. She sends me a picture of his "psychic aura", which is simply huge. It takes up the entire room and seems to go beyond that.
"Hehe, that's right, fear me. Now, I am here to change the way this court session is going to work. We will have a three-on-three RAP BATTLE! The teams will be: Alex, Pyro, and me vs. Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina. Arceus will be the judge, just like always. Now, I will go first, then Alex, then Pyro. Then it will switch to you guys. If Alex's team wins, then he is lifted from all charges against him, and they get a prize. If Dialga's team wins, then all charges against him will be lifted, and they get something good." He turns his hat on backwards, sets down his headphones which turn into giant speakers, and hits the PLAY button on his mp3. Some epic beat music plays and he starts to move around in time to the music. A microphone appears in each of our right hands (or in the case of the other team, the mics just float there). He clears his throat and begins his rap.
