3. Shower of Memories

Wow it has been over six months since I last updated this story and I am really sorry about that. But I have been having troubling on how I should write this chapter and what events I should put in this one and which ones should wait.

I have like a million ideas in my head for this story just because I love it so much. So, it's hard for me to get them all in order sometimes. But I think I now have this chapter figured out.

So just sit back, relax and read on.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or Sailor Moon but all OCs belong to me.

(Latios)

"Come on little one you need to eat." Latios tells the young Dratini in his arms but she just continued to turn her head away from the bottle in his paw. Latios sighed in minor frustration at this.

He had been trying to get Emily to eat for almost five minutes already. As of today, she was no longer grounded and had been free of the crib until it was naptime. So, when her nap was done he had taken her out to feed her, her lunch, so he could continue with her lesson. Though when he had tried to prompt her to drink from the baby bottle, she had become rather fussy.

Latios was now afraid that the warm milk he was trying to give her would be cold by the time he did. He was trying to be patient with her because she was only a hatchling, but her stubbornness was pushing him to his limits.

That was when Latios remembered that Emily was more compliant when her sweet spot was scratched. Using psychic to hold the bottle, he then used his now free paw to scratch behind her fin. He smiled sweetly at her as the cute little chirps began.

"You really are adorable when you chirp like that Emily." Latios then told her in a soft tone. "Now won't you please drink up like a good little girl? I don't want your milk to get cold."

Finally, Emily complied with his request and opened her mouth wide enough so he could bottle feed her. He stopped scratching behind her fin just as she began drinking her milk.

While she drank Latios looked over the lesson plan he had for her today. He had officially started Emily's lessons yesterday. It had been well…interesting to say the least. Apparently, Emily already knew how to recite the alphabet, count to well he had only asked her to count to one hundred but he suspected she could go even higher. Emily also knew how to read and spell already, meaning that she could also probably write if she had a way of doing so he suspected. It was hard to test his theory though since she had no hands.

Because Emily was so gifted he had to stepped up the lessons to something more advanced. He was currently trying to explain how evolution worked and how it differed from aging. For some reason, Emily seemed to know only human knowledge but nothing about Pokemon. If it had been Uxie teaching her instead of him, Latios suspected Uxie would be having a nonstop spaz attack. Though at the rate this was going Latios himself was tempted to spaz out.

She was so different then what he had been prepared for. Every day he seemed to grow more and more puzzled by her. Nothing made sense, she hated almost everything that babies were supposed to love, she made bizarre and crazy comments almost every single day. Latios just wasn't sure what to do about her, it had only been a few days since she hatched and he was almost certain she needed to see a psychiatrist.

He then looked down and noticed Emily had finished her bottle and took it from her before he placed her head on his shoulder to burp her.

"Not this again…look I don't need to be…" Emily's sentence was then interrupted by the burp that followed as Latios patted her back.

"I'm sorry you don't think you need to be what?" Latios then asked as he put her back into a cradling position. He then noticed her cheeks turned red in embarrassment.

"N-nevermind." Emily then muttered as she tried to hide her face in his chest. Latios wasn't sure if he should find her antics amusing and cute or worrisome. A hatchling her age shouldn't feel embarrassment, then again, they also aren't supposed to be able to read either yet, Emily can.

Once she calmed down Latios set Emily in the high chair that he was using as her desk, because well he didn't have a desk for her.

"Alright now that your nap is done we can get back to the matter at hand." Latios stated. "Evolution. Now evolution happens when a Pokemon reaches a certain level of growth through experience and knowledge. Many consider evolution a type of aging, this is not always the case however. Throughout my life I have met Pokemon that can evolve but have not even through aging, why I once even seen a Treecko with wrinkles and a stick for a cane before. Then there are some that have evolved through aging.

"This may sound confusing and believe me when I say that even I don't fully understand it. See evolution happens in different ways for some Pokemon, some use evolutionary stones, some need to be traded with another Pokemon while the weirdest one is evolving while upside down."

As Latios explained he noticed the very confused look on Emily's face. Why had he picked this topic again? Right because Emily was a lot smarter than she appeared and he had wanted to at least offer her a challenge…perhaps this was too big of a challenge though.

"Alright let me try and simplify this for you." Latios then told her with a sigh. "Some Pokemon will evolve just by growing up and getting older, while others will not. Then there are some that cannot evolve at all such as Absol or the legendaries. The only exceptions are Lunala and Solgaleo. Does this make more sense to you?"

"A little yes but…uh why are Solgaleo and Lunala the exceptions?" Emily then asked.

"Well you see Solgaleo and Lunala are the only ones that have pre-evolutions. And depending on the gender of the pre-evolution it will be either a Lunala or Solgaleo. This pre-evolution is also their offspring known as Cosmog. Now as for why they can evolve…well you see they come from someplace else and appeared during the time of the Ultra Wars. While they proved themselves to be different from the Ultra Beasts and were worshipped by the kings of Alola for the gifts they brought to the region, the Tapus did not trust them. It was because of the last war with the Beasts, the Tapus also did not like that two deity like figures were trespassing on their territory and thought they may be new kinds of Ultra Beasts. So, they challenged them to a battle. When Solgaleo and Lunala won the Tapus showed them their respect, they then proved themselves even further when the second war came and they fought alongside us against the Ultra Beasts. That is when Arceus made them official Legendary Pokemon." Latios then explained.

"…Is that why you don't want me going around and saying I'm from a different dimension?" Emily then asked him once he finished explaining. "You're afraid the others will try to hurt me because they might think I'm some sort of Ultra Beast?"

She still thinks she's from some other dimension?! What do I have to do to get her to stop with this fantasy? Latios couldn't help thinking to himself as he pondered over how to answer Emily's question.

It was true that what she said was what he was afraid of happening. But it was more than that. Over the past couple of days since she had hatched, Latios found himself starting to become attached to the little baby serpent. It shouldn't have come as a surprise to him, after all when one is forced to look after a child isn't it only natural for the caregiver to become attached and eventually love said child as their own?

Still it was surprising at how fast these feelings were coming to him. Emily is nothing at all like he had been expecting yet for some reason he couldn't help but fall in love with her. Sure, she was stubborn and was going through her rebel phase early but there was just something else about her that was making him care for her. He wasn't sure what it was though. But it was this feeling of love that made him even more afraid about what might happen to her if she were to start talking about being from another dimension in front of the wrong legendary.

Latios then floated closer to Emily and pat her head. "Yes, Emily that is part of the reason why, I don't want you saying things like that. That kind of talk could put you in danger…the other reason is…is because it's not possible that you are from another dimension…"

Latios felt Emily stiffen instantly, he wondered if he should have this discussion now. It was true that Emily should learn the difference between fantasy and reality but he was afraid he might make her cry again.

"Emily… I know you think that this fantasy is real…but it isn't. You're not a teenager and you're not a human. Your mom is not a human in a different dimension…. Perhaps it is easier for you to believe it is real rather than face reality, but little one…one as smart as you should understand you can't live in a fantasy world for the rest of your life." Latios said to her as gently as possible before continuing. "You have to know that your being from another dimension is not possible when there are only two of them."

"...It's not a fantasy…it's real." He then heard Emily say quietly as he watched tears fall. Crap, had he really screwed up again? Latios sighed and was about to console her when his sister burst into the room.

"Brother! Guess…. what…Uh why is my little niece crying?" Latias then said as she took in the scene before her.

"…I may have upset her." Latios then said with a sigh as he patted Emily's head. "But that isn't why you're here is it?"

"Uh well no but it can wait until she's calmed down…" Latias then said in concern.

"I am not a fragile flower." He then heard Emily say with annoyance it sounded like. "Go ahead and tell Latios what you wanted to tell him. I'm fine."

Emily had gone from tears to a voice that was as cold as ice. If this was what she was like as a hatchling, Latios was really dreading her actual teenage years.

"Alrighty then…" Latias then said and he could tell that she too was shocked by Emily's tone. "Anyway, brother what I was going to tell you was that I have Emily's baby shower almost all but planned out! Isn't that great?!"

That's my sister always on top of things when I need a celebration planned. I'm glad I can always count on her. Latios then thought to himself. He guessed this was good news but his shock over Emily's tone had worn off. Now, now he was just depressed that she had said something so coldly to them both. Latios couldn't help but wonder if she truly dislikes him that much.

"Yes it is, thank you sis." Latios then told his sister while trying to conceal how much he was hurting. "Now you did remember to make sure the decorations were orange, right? I know you had saved a bunch of pink ones for this occasion but…"

"Yes, yes I remembered don't worry." Latias answered taking his subtle hint at what he was trying to say without further upsetting the young hatchling still in the room with them. "After all we don't need the little one getting upset again… I mean we don't want everyone to find out about that"

Latios saw his sister nodding to Emily's birthmark and knew exactly what she was getting at. She was right of course, if Emily's birthmark produced that light again in front of all those Legendaries… it could be trouble. And it was that kind of trouble that Latios didn't really need.

"Excuse me, but you two do know that its rude to speak as if I can't understand what's going on, right?" Emily then asks still sounding annoyed.

"Er… right I-I'm sorry Emily." Latios then said shocked that Emily could understand what they were talking about when they were being so careful about tiptoeing around the subject. She only hatched a few days ago there should be no way she should understand all that. Perhaps she truly was smarter than he realized.

"Hey Emily, do you mind if I borrow your dad for a few minutes." Latios then heard his sister ask. He could only guess what she wanted to talk about, his sister could read him like a book.

"He's not my Dad." Latios cringed when Emily said those words in that same annoyed tone. Her words hurt worse than her tone of voice though. "And why are you asking me? He's your brother you can talk to him whenever you want. I have no say in the matter."

"That is not true Emily." Latios then said, why does she think she's a prisoner? The way Emily was talking it was as if she believed that Latios was some sort of jail warden and she had no choice in anything. "You do have a say in the matter otherwise Latias wouldn't have asked for your permission."

Latios then went to leave the room but first he looked to Emily and lifted her out of the highchair before nuzzling her and putting her on the floor. "I'll be just outside the door Emily, shout if you need me okay?"

Latios then left the room and closed the door. Turning to his sister Latios asked. "This isn't about the baby shower, is it?"

"No, it's not." Latias answered before giving Latios a look of concern. "Brother are you okay?"

Latios knew that question was coming but still he sighed and looked at the door to his room where he knew his young hatchling was before he answered her.

"No sister I am not okay, I am the furthest word possible from okay." Latios told his sister before looking back to her. He let his true emotions show now that they were as alone as they could be. "You heard how icy Emily's tone was, and that was just as a hatchling. What am I going to do when she becomes a teenager?"

"There is a chance she could grow out of it by then." Latias told him as she put a paw on his shoulder. "Uxie did say her brainwaves were that of a teenager and a hatchling, didn't he? I know it sounds crazy but there could be some logic to it."

"I can only hope you are right sister. But just what did I do to make her ha..." Latios stopped himself, he couldn't do it, he couldn't say the word. Mostly because he didn't want to believe that it was true. "To not like me? I've done what I could to be a good father for her, true there have been a lot of bumps in the road but should she really dislike me this much?"

"She could just be mad right now." Latias then said in a hopeful tone. "Brother, you know as well as I do that people and Pokemon tend to say things they don't mean when they are angry or upset."

"… Maybe you're right." Latios said as he pondered it over. "But what could she be angry about? The only thing I can think of is well me telling her that she can't live in a fantasy all her life… we have met more than our fair share of Pokemon that couldn't live outside of their fantasy world… but Emily? She's been like that since she hatched. And I've never met anyone cling so tightly to their fantasy world. Ever."

"I will admit that she's… different, but she is a part of our family now. We can't just start calling her crazy." Latias chided.

"You're right, I don't ever want to call her that." Latios told his sister before sighing. "I just wish she would stop treating me like some jail warden. She's my child not my prisoner."

"Well you did kind of keep her under house arrest in her crib for two days." Latias then said.

"Hey, that was because she ran away on me." Latios then told her defensively. "do you not remember the fun I had with Cresselia when she found Emily?"

"I wasn't there but yes you told me." Latias said before continuing. "Now I am not certain on how to get her to see you as something more but where there's a will there's a way and all that jazz."

"Yes, well I hope we find it before she learns how to use Dragon Rush or worse Hyper Beam." Latios said shuddering slightly at the thought.

"Yes, that would be best." Latias said giving him a look of sympathy. "I know she'll come to love you as much as you love her eventually brother. She just needs time to adjust, this is all still new to her."

Latios sighed before replying. "Yeah… I know it is, I just wish I knew why it feels as if she is resisting getting used to all this. I have to ask were we this much trouble when Arceus and Mew first created us?"

"Well, we were already adults when we were so I kind of doubt it. And I really don't feel like asking them in case they embarrass us in front of Emily." Latias said.

"Yeah well, I'd rather be laughed at by a hatchling, than have the others hear about those days." Latios then told his sister with a shudder at the thought of it. "So, you said you almost had everything ready for her baby shower, right? What else needs to be done, and do you need any help? Also, please tell me Regigigas is not doing the music for this event."

"Well we still need a cake but that's pretty much covered, as for the music no I didn't. I asked Meloetta to provide the music." Latias told him which made Latios breath in relief. "I know that Regigigas doesn't know any music that won't hurt her little ears."

"Not since the humans invented rap." Latios agreed with her. "But Meloetta is perfect, Emily really seemed to like her when they met the other day."

"Well that is good news. Now I know you probably don't want to come but… I did invite a certain someone." Latias then said to him with a teasing wink, making Latios blush.

"SISTER!" Latios then complained. "Must you tease me about her?! And why wouldn't I come? The baby shower is for my daughter."

"Well it's just that you don't normally do parties." Latias explained. "Plus, it'll be mostly girls at the party."

"Yes, well as long as it isn't one of those kind of parties, I think I can manage." Latios said as he thought back to his time with Aero…

Aero glared at Latios as he was getting swarmed by females both human and Pokemon alike. Latios had only agreed to come to this place because Aero had begged him to help him find a mate. But now in human form and in some kind of animal skin Latios was very much regretting it. And it mostly had to do with the females swarming him. He was committed to Celebi and didn't want her to think he was cheating.

"Hey bro, why are you hogging all the ladies?! We came here to find me a mate, not you!" Aero complained.

"Don't yell at me! It's not like I asked for this to happen! I told you these kinds of places weren't my thing!" Latios shouted back at him while trying to back away from the female hoard. He had figured out how to talk telepathically while in human form and the humans were none the wiser. Otherwise he was very much mute. "Now come on, help a brother out here Aero! Get these girls away from me!"

Aero then flew over and shooed the women away but he didn't look happy about it. When he was done he turned to Latios with a pouting glare.

"This is your fault for being so handsome as a human." Aero said as he butted his head into Latios' shoulder.

"My fault?! Who's the one that begged me to come out here then ended up getting rejected by every single female here?" Latios then asked, teasing him slightly and trying not to laugh.

"Oh, do you wanna go bro?" Aero then asked him as if to challenge Latios to brawl. Not a serious one obviously he and Aero normally did this kind of thing. If Latios was at all honest with himself, he would admit that he looked forward to these.

It had nothing to do with training, or his duties as a Legendary pokemon. These little brawls were just for fun. With Aero, Latios could just relax and be himself, he didn't have to worry about anything except potentially being caught. He knew that hanging out with Aero put his friend at risk, not only at the wrath of his enemies but also at the wrath of Arceus. No one was supposed to know he existed yet when he had been in danger, Aero had heard his cries for help and saved his life. They had been friends ever since and he wasn't about to risk losing his only real friend just because Arceus didn't approve.

"If it means getting out of here, then maybe I do bro." Latios then answered Aero with a smirk. "The real question is, are you ready to lose again?"

"Oh, it's on!" Aero said before chasing Latios out of, what would have been called a nightclub, and back to where Aero nested. The two of them brawling and just having fun, from the twilight of dusk to the early lights of dawn…

Remembering those times just made Latios miss Aero even more. He could even feel a wet tear on his cheek. He quickly wiped it away before his sister could notice.

"So, who's baking the cake? And is that the last thing that needs to be done?" Latios asked his sister so he could get his mind off Aero.

"Yes, that is the last thing and I know you won't believe me but I got Mesprit to convince her boyfriend, Mewtwo to bake." Latias said and Latios completely forgot about being sad over Aero and just looked at his sister trying to figure out if this was a joke or not.

"Are you being serious right now sister? Since when can Mewtwo bake?!" Latios asks still not believing it.

"I know it sounds crazy but it's true!" Latias says. "Apparently, he only cooks or bakes for Mesprit, but she convinced him to bake a batch of cookies for the coffee room and oh my Arceus, they are to die for!"

"Dare I ask how she convinced him to bake?" Latios then asked then thought better of it. "No actually I don't dare, knowing her she probably seduced him and I do not want details."

Latias just giggled at him. "I don't know how she did it but oh, do I love her for it! Oh, and actually I do have one little favour to ask of you… can you get Emily to wear a cute dress? She's the guest of honor after all and it may not be a bad idea to cover up her birthmark. The guests will already be surprised by her odd colouring."

"Well she's already met Moltres, Mesprit, Mew and Meloetta and they didn't seem weirded out by her golden colour. But they didn't see her birthmark because she was wrapped in her blanket." Latios told his sister. "I can see why you want it covered up, I don't want everyone staring at her strangely just because she's different."

"Exactly my point. Though we shouldn't let Emily know we're trying to cover it up. That may upset her and make her think that we're ashamed of how she looks. Which isn't true obviously but she's smarter than the average hatchling and could take it the wrong way." Latias said now trying to keep her voice down. Latios guessed in case Emily was eavesdropping on them.

"I'm a little more worried about trying to get her to wear a cute dress." Latios then said to his sister. "And if she is eavesdropping she more than likely went to hide when you mentioned the cute dress. But in case she is upset about covering her birthmark…. Can you help me explain why we have to? When I tried to explain why she should stop saying that she's from another dimension well it led to her crying and getting mad at me. I don't want that to happen again."

"Of course, I will brother." Latias then said to him. "Though we best fight that battle now so we aren't late for her own party."

(Nebulight)

Nebulight kept looking up toward the door as if scared he was going to be caught. He was currently in the secret room that his father had shown him two years ago. He knew that his father didn't use this room that often but that did not make Nebulight any less anxious.

He was carefully searching for any information on the Pokemon world. He'd already checked the computer the monitors were connected to and now he was checking the documents that were on the table nearby. He was looking for anything that could give him a clue as to where Emily might be in that world. So far, he wasn't having any luck, apparently the Pokemon world is just as big as the planet Earth. That being said the only progress Nebulight had made was narrowing down she could be anywhere on their planet. He sighed in frustration at this, how was he supposed to help her when he didn't know exactly where she had been sent. Worst part about it was that he couldn't ask Nebulor exactly where he sent her, without the mage growing suspicious.

As he continued searching Nebulight thought he heard something so he looked up cautiously. There was no one at the door as far as he could tell so he looked around the rest of the room and sighed in relief when he saw nothing but jumped in fright when he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Easy there your highness it's just me." Nebulight then heard a rather familiar chortle behind him. Nebueclipse.

Nebulight turned and scowled at his friend, Nebueclipse was wearing his usual red buttoned up shirt and black jeans, his black and white hair hung down to his shoulders and his mismatching blue and red eyes held a mischievous twinkle. There was also a smirk plastered on his face that Nebulight wished he could smack off. But he wouldn't Nebueclipse was the only one in this place he could actually call a friend. Actually he was his only friend ever, Nebulight hadn't exactly tried to make friends with Evelyn's friends. He had met Rini and Helios on their double date, he and Helios had gotten along fine he just had not wanted to endanger the priest and the Princess. So, instead of staying in touch he kept his distance, not to mention he was terrified that the priest would figure out his secret.

"Eclipse how many times have I told you not to do that?" Nebulight complained, Nebueclipse is half demon more specifically he had been born with the demon of Death. Because of this he could open portals between the two plains of being, and easily travel from one place to another. Supposedly he could also open portals to the realm of the dead as well but Nebulight had never seen him do so.

"I think today makes it a thousand times, but hey who's counting? Also, you're not supposed to call me Eclipse remember?" Nebueclipse reminded him.

"It's just us in here so I don't see the big deal, not like you like your title much anyway." Nebulight told him with a shrug as he continued to rummage through whatever he could find. They apparently had more information on the Sailor Guardians than they did on these Legendaries or the Pokemon world in general.

"While true, we still must be careful my prince." Nebueclipse then said though his 'my prince' had been said with a smirk. He knew Nebulight hated formality from him. He didn't feel right making the half demon address him so formally, not with everything Eclipse had put up with when they met…

"Nebulight remember we are only going to be here for a short time." His mother told him as they disembarked off their ship. They had come to this star system so we could stock up on supplies before continuing to earth. "So, don't go getting lost while we are here. Am I understood, son?"

"Yes, Mother." Nebulight answered like the obedient child he was supposed to be. He did look ten years old after all when actually he was slightly older than that.

"Good, your Father and I have business to take care of so go amuse yourself." His mother said before walking off. This gave Nebulight the chance to take in his surroundings without either of his parents telling him what to do or how to act or worse how he should speak. Normally he was stuck inside the ship either training or being tutored but because he had been on good behavior his parents had decided to give him one day off from all that. So long as he didn't screw this opportunity up there was a chance he could get other days off.

As Nebulight took in the small dwarf planet they were currently on, he noted how similar they all looked to him. And by similar he meant humanoid, during his studies he'd learned that each planet had their own kingdom and their own Guardian protector. These kingdoms were made up of humanoid beings like himself that had longer life spans than actual humans. But reading about such things and seeing them were two entirely different things. It was quite incredible to see people like him live on such a small planet. But it didn't look that small when standing on it, in fact to Nebulight it looked much bigger than it had from the ship.

Nebulight was still taking in the sites when he heard a commotion from further down the street. He knew he was supposed to stay out of trouble but something about what he had heard had not felt right. So Nebulight decided to go check it out, he wasn't certain if he was going the right way or not until he heard a scream in pain. Running to where he had heard the scream, he was shocked to find that it had come from a boy that looked around his age if not a little older than him. The boy had black and white hair that went past his shoulders and he wore almost nothing but rags. The boy was holding his arm in pain and Nebulight could see that he was crying. Nebulight also noticed that his tormentors were not other kids, but adults.

"Demon spawn!" One man shouted at the boy as he hit him again. Nebulight flinched in sympathy, his parents often used violence when disciplining him. "You should have died along with your parents!"

"He's probably the one that killed them!" A woman then accused. "Though what did they expect when they gave life to evil."

"P-please…s-stop…I-I never hurt anyone…" The boy then whimpered pathetically but unfortunately for him it fell on deaf ears. Though Nebulight didn't exactly understand why they were calling this boy a demon, he didn't look like a demon, he just looked like a kid, a kid that had fallen on hard times but still a kid.

"You hurt everyone just by existing!" Another man then shouted and this one held a knife. "I should kill you now before you infect all our innocent children with your evil!"

As the man brought the knife down, Nebulight unsheathed his own sword and stepped into the fray. His sword clashed against the knife and he was easily able to disarm the man, what with the poor way he had been holding it and all. Had no one taught these people how to handle a weapon before? He'd been taught how to ever since he could lift a sword.

Everyone around them gasped in shock and awe, Nebulight guessed they had never seen a child wield a weapon like a master swordsman before which to him was odd. Once the man was disarmed he put his sword back in its sheath and glared at the adults.

"Leave." He said now trying to sound every bit as commanding as his father. Though when they did run off scared Nebulight wasn't sure if it was his tone or swordsmanship skills that had scared them. Nebulight then turned to the boy behind him, now that he was closer he could easily tell that this kid was older than he was.

"You okay?" Nebulight asked him but the boy just backed further away from him, from Nebulight's perspective he was shaking. "Wait don't back away I'm just trying to…"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" The boy then shouted at him in a combination that sounded like fear and rage. Nebulight also noted that the kid's nails had started turning to claws, above his lower lip fangs started to sprout, horns started to grow on his head and bat-like wings emerge from his back. The boy then started to grip his own head as he curled into a fetal position. "N-no! N-need to…. stay in…control…c-can't lose control…Father s-said I-I can't ever be seen in this form…mus-must regain control!"

Nebulight just stood there and watched as the kid got a handle on his breathing and his horns, claws, fangs, and wings disappeared. Once he was back to normal the boy looked up at Nebulight with guilt written into his blue and red eyes.

"I-I'm sorry…" The boy said to him, these words shocked Nebulight, normally he was the one saying them not the other way around. "I-I normally have better control than that, b-but those people really stressed me out. I-I mean the fire wasn't even my fault…a-and now because people saw me in that form with my parents…th-they think…"

As the boy cried Nebulight pieced together the information he had been given. This boy had obviously just lost his family recently to a house fire or something and had taken that demonic form as if hoping to save them, but he hadn't succeeded and now those who had seen him that day blamed him for their deaths and think he caused them.

"I'm sorry for your loss." Nebulight then told the boy cause he wasn't sure what else he could say.

The kid didn't answer him he just continued to sniffle and hold his injured arm. Looking at it from there Nebulight could tell it wasn't a serious injury but he knew it must still hurt. Nebulight then looked down at his own hands and wondered if he could help. He knew his magic was still weak and unstable compared to his father's but he was certain he knew enough that he could help heal the kid.

With that in mind Nebulight kneeled in front of the boy and focused on the healing spell he had learned. Though when he tried to heal him, the kid flinched away from him.

"Please hold still, I can't help you if you don't" Nebulight said to him gently, he wasn't certain why he was being so nice to this boy, perhaps it was because he could sympathize with him on some level, or he really was weak and soft hearted like his parents said. Well whatever the reason it seemed his words worked and he was able to heal the boy this time.

"Why are you helping me?" The boy asked him. "Y-you saw what I could turn into s-so why are you helping a monster?"

"You aren't a monster. A real monster would have killed those jerks and hurt me in the process." Nebulight explained while he healed him. "A monster wouldn't cry over losing his family, and also if you were one you wouldn't have tried to stay in control of your power. So, in my mind you are not a monster or a demon despite what those adults said."

The boy just stared at him for a few minutes as if taking everything that Nebulight said and letting it sink in.

"No one has said anything that nice to me since my parents died." He heard the boy say quietly as he looked down at his bare feet before looking up at Nebulight again. "Thank you."

"Y-you're welcome?" Nebulight then said unsure if that was how he was supposed to reply. No one had ever thanked him for anything before, the most he had gotten from his parents was a pat on the head. "So, uh what's your name?"

"Eclipse." The boy now known as Eclipse answered. "You?"

"Nebulight." Nebulight told him and Eclipse gave him an odd look.

"Nebulight? That's an odd name." Eclipse told him.

"Well to me, yours is an odd name." Nebulight explained. "Everyone on the ship where I live all have 'Nebu' at that beginning of their name. Though I think it's more a title that states you bear allegiance to my father than a name really."

"Is your father some sort of king or something?" Eclipse then asked him.

"Yeah he is, he's king of the Dark Nebula Empire. We're currently on our way to a planet called Earth. I don't know why exactly but Father said he'll explain when we get there." Nebulight told him when an idea came to him. "Hey why don't you come with us! Father is always looking for new recruits!"

"Uh no offense Nebulight but I just met you, I don't think I want to join an empire where I could be used as a weapon." Eclipse said and Nebulight could see his point. But what could he do? He couldn't just leave Eclipse here, those mean adults could come back and actually kill him next time. The thought chilled Nebulight to the core.

"What if I make you my bodyguard?" Nebulight then asked him.

"Your what? Wait why would you do that? You just met me." Eclipse then asked.

"I know we just met, but well you're kind of the first kid that I met that was around my age. Plus, what if those people come back and succeed in killing you next time. Something inside of me tells me that I can't let that happen to you, so please come with me Eclipse." Nebulight pleaded and Eclipse just looked at him before sighing with a small smile.

"Wow you really are a nice person Nebulight. Offering a stranger you just met a job, which involves protecting your neck just so you can save said stranger's hide? I truly have never met anyone like you before." Eclipse said as he got up off the ground.

"Yes, well just don't go telling my father or mother that." Nebulight warned him. "They beat me for doing stuff like this, they think it makes me weak and soft."

"…Your parents beat you for being nice?" Eclipse then questioned with an emotion that Nebulight couldn't recognize.

"I've gotten used to it." Nebulight just told him before changing the subject. "Now come on we have to get you cleaned up. I can't present you to Father like this. I'm sure I have some spare clothes that I can loan you."

"You're giving me a job, a place to live and now your own clothes? Man, this is the start of one weird friendship." Eclipse commented.

"What is friendship?" Nebulight then asked now confused. He had never heard of that word before.

"Oh boy, you really have lived a sheltered life haven't you Princey? Don't worry I'll teach you all about it, mind you I won't be that good of a teacher since I've never really had any friends myself but hey, I can try." Eclipse told Nebulight as he led him the rest of the way to the ship…

"Nebulight, hello? Universe to Nebulight. Come on Princey snap out of it." Nebueclipse then said as he snapped his fingers in front of his face making him blink. Nebulight guessed he had spaced out while he remembered how they met. It was hard to believe that the young man in front of him used to be a sad and lonely and scared kid.

"Sorry Eclipse, you were saying?" Nebulight asked and heard his friend groan.

"I was saying we have to be careful because your father and his cronies could still have spies all over this place. And again, it's Nebueclipse, Princey." His friend then said.

"Hey, that's Master Princey to you." Nebulight then said in way that sounded like he was trying to be serious but he wasn't.

"Of course, Master Princey. How could I ever forget?" The half demon chuckled. "But joking aside, just what is it you are looking for Nebs?"

"Anything of that Pokemon world where Nebulor sent Sailor Venus." Nebulight answered him. There were almost no secrets between him and Nebueclipse.

Nebueclipse had been against him even trying to get to know Evelyn, let alone start dating her. But when Nebulight started dating Evelyn anyway, despite his former protests about the relationship, Nebueclipse had helped keep his secret. And while Nebueclipse had never met Evelyn, Nebulight could tell that his friend had finally grown used to his beloved.

"Ah yes, 'operation stab my dad in the back', I had almost forgotten about that plan." Nebueclipse then said.

"I am not stabbing Father in the back, I'm just foiling his plans. There is a difference." Nebulight then told him before sighing in frustration. "Though at this rate, my father will have won and I'll be forced to watch Evelyn die. I can't find anything helpful here!"

Slamming his fist on the table he made the papers fly almost everywhere causing him and Nebueclipse to pick them all up. They had to make it look like they weren't here otherwise when his father did come here and noticed things were moved, he'd start asking questions. Nebulight knew for a fact that this room was only accessible to him, his father and his mother. Though as they picked the papers up, Nebueclipse looked at one of the papers with a raised eyebrow.

"Hey Nebs what's an Ultra Beast?" Nebulight heard his friend ask but before he could answer him Nebulight heard someone at the door.

Reacting quickly Nebulight yanked Nebueclipse down and casted an invisibility spell as they hid under the table and signaled for Nebueclipse to stay quiet. He held his breath as he saw who it was, his father.

As Nebuton walked through the room, Nebulight prayed that his Father wouldn't find them despite the invisibility spell. Thankfully his father walked right past the table where they were hiding and instead went to the back of the room. Curious as to what his Father was up to, Nebulight watched as he approached a bookcase in the back and pulled a book out.

Nebulight thought he was just going to do some reading, that is until the bookcase opened to reveal some kind of portal. The portal was similar to the one that Emily had fallen into only slightly different. Nebulight watched as his father went into said portal and the bookcase closed behind him. He and Nebueclipse waited at least five minutes but when it became clear that his father wasn't going to return anytime soon they decided to come out of their hiding place.

"Just how many secrets does your dad have Nebs?! I mean what was that?!" Nebueclipse asked looking and sounding as bewildered as Nebulight.

"It looked like the portal that Nebulor made to send Sailor Venus to the Pokemon world but… this one looked different." Nebulight told his friend before realizing that Nebueclipse still had the papers in his hands. "But maybe they have something to do with those papers you found. Hand them over."

"You aren't going to check and see where that portal leads?" Nebueclipse asked as he handed the papers to him.

"And risk getting caught? Not a chance." Nebulight answered as he used the human device called a Smartphone to take pictures of the documents in his hand. Nebulight had to admit that some human tech was pretty handy. "If I want to save Sailor Venus and keep Evelyn safe I need to stay on my parent's good side. But if this has anything to do with that secret portal then I need to look into it as well. My Father is never up to anything good."

"You can say that again." Nebueclipse answered him. "Though… his secret portal just gave me an idea as to how we can find out where Sailor Venus is"

Nebulight stopped taking pictures for a moment and looked at his friend, now curious as to what he meant. "And what idea might that be?"

"It's a secret." Nebueclipse then told him with a smirk and a wink. "But I will let you know when I am ready to follow through with it alright?"

"Very well." Nebulight said as he finished saving the pictures of the documents on his phone. He hated when Nebueclipse went all secretive on him, but his friend had never failed him before so he would trust that this idea of his would work out. "Alright I'm done now get us out of here before he comes back."

"Already on it Princey." Nebueclipse said and with a flick of his wrist a portal that looked to be made out of blue flames appeared. The portal showed an image of Nebulight's room. Nebueclipse then took his wrist before leading him through the portal. It closed behind them as they materialized in his room.

The feeling of going through Nebueclipse's portals always left Nebulight chilled. Nebueclipse had explained to him that because his soul was tied to the demon of death that the portals he created were connected to the spiritual plane where ghosts and spirits lived in our world. Because of this fact, Nebulight could not cross through these portals unless he was touching Nebueclipse because the portal was connected to him and the living could not pass through them.

"That will never not feel weird." Nebulight said as he shivered.

"It's a good thing you feel chilled or weird, it means you don't belong there." Nebueclipse said. "You know my two different coloured eyes mean I am connected on two different plains of being. My blue one is the Plain of the Living, the Red one is the spiritual plain as well as my connection to the demon."

"Yeah, I know that." Nebulight answered him as he went to grab his sword. "I also know that we need to get back to our normal duties. Mother thinks I've been practicing all this time, I better get to the training room before someone decides to check in on me. Wanna join me?"

"Can't, gotta get started on that idea I was talking about." Nebueclipse said as he headed to the door and made sure the coast was clear before they exited the room. "I'll catch you later though Nebs and good luck deciphering those documents."

"Yeah thanks I think I'll need it." Nebulight told him before they both went their separate ways.

As Nebulight trained all he could think about was how he might be one step closer to finding out where Emily might be.

---

(Emily)

Emily could not believe that they had actually managed to get her to wear a dress, then again, they had cheated. She really hated how she could be reduced to that of a mewling kitten, just by scratching one spot, so unfair. Now she was dressed in an orange sparkly ballgown, if she were human she wouldn't have minded so much but in this form, as a baby serpent about to attend her own Baby Shower, she knew that this outfit was just asking for all those girls to fawn all over her.

I'm going to hate this party already, I just know it. Emily thought to herself as Latios pushed the baby carriage. Latias had left for the party ahead of them so she could greet the guests and let them know that Latios and Emily were on their way, much to her own displeasure. She was definitely going to be swarmed now.

"Now Emily, sweetie, that is no attitude for a party." She then heard Latios chime in. He must have heard her thoughts, another reason she was going to hate this party. There were mostly likely others like Latios and Latias there that could read her mind, which will annoy her to no end. Had they ever heard of a thing called privacy? "Remember smiles go for miles."

Her mom always used to tell her that when she was little and she was forced to attend those big fancy parties. Back then Emily would have rather been at one of her friend's places, but now that she was older she understood that as celebrity's daughter she had to attend those kind of social conventions, it was her duty to look good for the paparazzi. It was better to show good face than embarrass herself and her mom. She was going to be all over the gossip blogs and magazines no matter what she did anyway so why not have them report good news instead of lies.

"Like I haven't heard that speech before." Emily just simply muttered as they entered the room where her shower was being held. From what Emily could see there were Orange and white balloons and streamers all around. She couldn't see how many tables or guests there were but she had a feeling the tables were decorated in a similar manner, and her ears told her there were more than five people there but she wasn't sure on the exact number. Though before she could take everything in she heard someone giggling.

"And then Latios marries the girl in the story? Oh my, where do you find these stories Latias?" Emily heard the female that was giggling say.

"They're all over the internet you just need to know where to look." She then heard Latias giggle. "I mean it's not like my brother would ever really get married to a human but the stories that these humans come up with are too good."

Emily wasn't sure what they were talking about but it almost sounded like humans wrote fanfiction about Latios' love life. Emily didn't read much fanfiction but she knew that her classmate Naru Umino loved to write fanfiction. But why would humans write about Latios? For the few days that she had been here Emily had learned that Latios and the others that lived here were considered gods to both humans and non-legendary Pokemon, but was Latios important enough to have fanfiction written about him?

"Not this again" She then heard Latios groan but it sounded rather muffled to her ears. Obviously, he knew what they were talking about.

"Uh what are they talking about?" Emily then asked him but before he could answer her the other female with Latias spoke up again.

"Oh, hello there!" The female said before she came over to where Emily could see her. The best she could description she could give for this creature was a green deer that had green horn-like features on her head, a green and pink leaf on her neck, her fur was rather plant like as well and her hooves well it almost looked like she was wearing green boots that looked similar to Rini's as Sailor Moon. "You must be the guest of honour! Latias you really weren't kidding, she is absolutely adorable! And that dress where did you find it?"

"Oh, I got it from Shaymin, and isn't she the cutest little thing ever?" Latias answered the green deer. Emily silently groaned as she realized the coo fest was starting already, that is until she noticed Latios' face.

The Avian dragon was looking around the room with a sad look on his face. But why was he sad? And who was he looking for?

"Sister? Is this everyone?" Emily then heard Latios ask in a somewhat disappointed tone yet almost hopeful at the same time. Perhaps he was hoping that whoever was missing would show up soon, Emily guessed.

"I don't think so." Latias then told her brother as she gave him a sympathetic look. "I'm sure she'll come don't worry."

Emily was still wondering who he was looking for, she tried to think if she had heard him mention anyone special before, that was when she remembered the name Celebi. He had told Crescent Head that she wouldn't replace Celebi in his heart, when he had taken her from the moon-like being. Was this Celebi his girlfriend? Or at least someone special to him?

"So, your Auntie here tells me that your name is Emily? Well Emily my name is Virizion and it is a pleasure to meet you." The green deer now known as Virizion cooed at her and interrupted her thoughts. "Now I believe I heard you asking what Latias and I were talking about?"

"Don't tell her! Please Virizion do not tell her, it's beyond embarrassing." Emily then heard Latios plead which caused her to look at him rather puzzled. He was embarrassed by something? What could embarrass him?

"What?" She then heard Virizion ask innocently. "It's not my fault you're popular with the ladies. And that's without your adorable daughter."

Emily watched as Latios' face turned red and Latias giggled. "She was going to find out eventually anyway brother. Isn't it better that she finds out now rather than when she's older and learns how to tease you?"

Surely, I'm hearing things. There is no way that this guy is any sort of ladies' man. Emily thought to herself as she looked up at Latios. If he was a ladies' man then why wasn't he flirting with every girl in here instead of looking for this Celebi girl. It just didn't add up in her mind.

"No, it isn't! This is beyond embarrassing and I don't imagine it could get worse than this." Latios then said his face still red.

"Is that so Latios? Because I thought I just heard your daughter's thoughts, and it sounds like she doesn't believe you're a ladies' man." Emily then heard a vaguely familiar voice chuckle. The voice was male and as Emily turned to see who it belonged to, she saw a white horse-like creature with a golden arc on his back walk over with a blue deer that had light blue antlers that almost looked like tree branches.

Emily didn't understand why the voice sounded familiar, she'd never seen this white horse-like being before, she was all but certain of that so why would she vaguely recognize his voice? It was like when she had first met Latios and she thought she recognized his voice yet she had never met him before…. was it possible that she had heard them in those strange dreams that she had, had before coming to this world? Or perhaps while she was in that egg?

"Arceus! D-do you have to announce things like that for everyone to hear?!" Latios said in what almost sounded like a humiliated tone.

"Come now Latios, besides Virizion everyone else here has Telepathy and can easily read her mind anyway. Even if I said nothing they still would have heard her." The being known as Arceus then chuckled.

"He has a point brother." Latias then giggled making Latios blush more.

"Did I ask you?" Emily then heard him say to his sister still in that humiliated tone.

"Arceus dear, do stop that." The blue deer then chided with a giggle. The deer sounded female and Emily could guess they were a couple if not husband and wife already. "We're here to see the young one not to embarrass her father."

"I couldn't resist dear." Arceus then told the blue female deer. "I mean when I first created Latios, how was I to know he would be found attractive to both humans and Pokemon."

Emily was starting to wonder that if by ladies' man they meant women swarmed Latios. That would explain why he looked so embarrassed instead of acting like a flirt. She had never met that type of ladies' man but she had heard of them. A guy that was so handsome that he was constantly swarmed by women but was embarrassed by all the attention. That seemed to fit Latios more than the flirting type of ladies' man.

"Please stop, would you." Latios then said blushing even more so before he just disappeared. Emily was so shocked by what she had seen that she started to look around frantically for him. Where had he gone? Did he teleport away and leave her here all alone? Just as she began to panic a little, Latios reappeared as quickly as he had disappeared and tried to sooth her. "Shh, it's okay, it's okay I just turned invisible is all no need to worry sweetie, I'm here and I'm sorry. I forgot that you didn't know."

Latios then proceeded to nuzzle her affectionately as he apologized for scaring her. Emily wanted to tell him that she hadn't been scared just shocked that he had disappeared, but the annoying baby part of her brain had started to become frightened when he did so. It was also enjoying the affection he was giving her and she was tempted to nuzzle him back but resisted.

"Awwww, that is so sweet!" Emily then heard someone comment and turned her head in time to see that it was Mesprit. She remembered because she looked like Uxie and next to her was Mew if Emily remembered correctly. "Say Mew should we tell, sweet little Emily just how popular her Daddy was with the ladies?"

"W-what? Uh please don't." Latios then said as he stopped nuzzling her. "I think she's heard enough embarrassing stories thank you very much."

"Oh please, she hasn't even heard one." Mew then giggled. "I'll start. This happened years ago when your father and aunt were rather obsessed with this one city between the Hoenn and Johto region, called Alto Mare. One day a human caught sight of Latios and she just happened to be one of the best artists in the city. Soon after seeing Latios and I think catching a glimpse of his sister as well she began to paint, all of her paintings either featured Latios, Latias or both. As their popularity grew within the city and after saving the townspeople from a flood that could have drowned everyone in the city, they were named the Guardians of Alto Mare.

"Over time, the city grew and became a popular tourist destination. As folks visited from all over and saw paintings and statues of your father and aunt, they took the stories back with them and began writing their own. Eventually the humans started writing either romantic fanfiction about Latios and Latias or actual romance novels of the two. These stories often involved your Daddy falling in love with a human or falling in love with Latias or one of the other legendaries. Either way they are almost always bestsellers or one of the most popular stories on the internet." Mew then said giggling as she finished telling Emily some of Latios' history. And she would admit that it all was rather impressive but to Emily, her mother and the other Sailor Guardians would always be the greatest heroes she'd ever known.

"Are you done embarrassing me yet?" Emily heard Latios ask and he looked even redder than he had before. If he wasn't careful he could become the same colour as his sister, permanently.

"Not quite." Mesprit then giggled. "Is it true that the artist that saw you also had a crush on you?"

"No she did not!" Latios then whined as if he were the child and not her.

"Alright, Mew, Mesprit I think you can stop now." Virizion then said sounding amused. "Meloetta doesn't need any more encouragement she already has enough of that with 'you know who' not here."

"Virizion you know I can hear you right?" Emily heard Meloetta say as she floated into view. Emily found herself smiling as she came into view and heard her voice, the voice that reminded Emily of her mother. Oh how she missed hearing her voice and hearing her sing. What Emily wouldn't give to hear her mother sing to her again. "Hello Latios."

I wonder if any of my mother's songs exist here. I would love to hear Meloetta sing one of her songs. She has a similar voice to her and I miss hearing my mom sing so much already. Emily thought to herself but as she thought this she then noticed that Meloetta was blushing and there were definite feelings of a crush coming from her.

"Oh, looks like you get to see your father's charm in action." Emily then heard Mesprit giggle to her.

"Mesprit!" Latios then hissed before turning to Meloetta. "Uh, hi Meloetta, thank you so much for coming to Emily's baby shower."

"It's my pleasure Latios. I adore this sweet little hatchling, about as much as I adore her father." Meloetta then told him blushing.

Emily had thought she felt hints of a crush when she had first met Meloetta but she hadn't been sure, because she had also been feeling down about being away from her mother. Now though the feelings were stronger than ever and these feelings of adoration towards Emily were real as well, unlike with Crescent Head where they had been faked. There was also something else that Emily could tell though, and that was that Latios did not share those same feelings.

Poor Meloetta she genuinely likes him and he doesn't feel the same. Emily thought to herself with a sad sigh. She felt sorry for her because she knew what it was like. She would never have told Rini this because it happened a long time ago but when they had first started middle school…well Emily had, had a crush on Helios. She hadn't acted on those feelings though because she knew Rini liked him and she could tell that he liked her back. The knowledge had hurt her back then but seeing how happy they were now Emily knew she had made the right choice. Helios was Rini's soulmate not hers. Emily was rather young when she learned that she could feel emotions of love from others.

Her mother told her that she was special because of this power of feeling emotions, but it just made her feel more different than she already was, mostly because her mother didn't have this power. But Artemis told her that it was said the first Queen of Venus had, had this power, which made Emily feel a little better if only a little.

Emily was then pulled from her thoughts when she noticed that everyone was staring at her.

"Uh, Latios, did you know that Emily was a mood ring like Mesprit?" She heard Mew ask.

"What have I said about calling me that?" Mesprit then asked with a slight glare.

"I wasn't aware she was a Dragon version of Mesprit." Latios answered Mew while also ignoring Mesprit, as he stared at her as well. Emily hadn't really wanted this kind of attention…. then again it was their own fault for being such snoops. She hadn't asked them to read her thoughts, so this was hardly her fault.

"Uh sorry but why are you all staring at her? Not all of us have telepathy." Virizion then asked finally getting the attention off her. Sort of at least.

"It seems the hatchling can read emotions much like Mesprit can. Or that's what we got from her train of thoughts at least." Xerneas answered her, Emily just wished they would stop staring already.

"That is quite a unique ability she has." Emily then heard Arceus say in awe. Could someone please take the attention off her already?! Emily thought her wish was granted when Meloetta cleared her throat.

"Latios, if I-I may change the topic again…" Meloetta said with a stutter obviously just getting over the shock of what Emily could do herself, she then took a breath and looked at Latios pleadingly. "I know I'm not Celebi, and I know that you still love her, but if you just gave me a chance…. Maybe you could love me like you love her. Please, I-I know I could be a good girlfriend and a good Mother to Emily, I already adore her, so won't you please give me a chance?"

Emily heard Latios sigh and could already tell he was trying to find a way to let her down easy. "Meloetta this isn't easy for me to say but…"

Before Latios could finish his sentence a green pixie-like being flew into the room at rapid speed and crashed into Latios. The Pixie was indeed green but at the tip of her onion like head there was a bit of blue. She reminded Emily of a forest sprite, and she already knew that this was Celebi. What with the way Latios blushed as he saw who crashed into him to the way that she too blushed as she realized who had cushioned her crash. Emily also saw how Meloetta's features slumped in defeat and sadness as she floated away. She once again felt sorry for her but there wasn't much she could do to help her.

"I-I'm so sorry Latios, I-I didn't mean to crash into you." Emily then heard Celebi say in a rather flustered tone.

"D-Don't worry about it, Celebi." Latios then said in an equally flustered tone and confirmed her suspicions on who the green pixie was.

As Emily watched them she could see that these two were made for each other. They were like Serena and Darien or Rini and Helios, these two were soulmates, meant to only love their other half until the end of time. Emily wanted something like that, but because of her curse she feared she never would.

"Would you look at that Xerneas?" Arceus said to his mate the blue deer now known as Xerneas. "Even after all these millennia they're still…. What was that human term? Adorkable?"

Both Latios and Celebi turned as red as Latias as their moment was ruined and cried out in embarrassment. This embarrassment sounded to Emily like if a parent was showing their date baby pictures. "Arceus!"

Emily watched as Arceus just chuckled as he apologized, though to her ears he sounded more amused than sorry. "Sorry, sorry it's been a while since I had this much fun."

"Oh you, stop it." Xerneas then giggled. "Can't you see that they were trying to have a moment?"

"Again, I could not resist dear." Arceus told her chuckling.

"Ahem!" Latios then said clearing his throat, though at this point he looked more like Latias, trying to get everyone's attention. Emily assumed he really did not like being teased. "Y-you're here to see Emily yes?"

Emily considered this a cheap move on Latios' part to turn the focus onto her so he wouldn't be teased, but it worked. Arceus had come closer to the carriage as did his girlfriend or wife. She wasn't really sure which she was at this point.

"I do hope you don't mind us having fun at your father's expense young one." Arceus then said to her. "Allow me to formally introduce myself, I am Arceus and I am sort of your father's boss, he said your name is Emily, correct?"

"Yes, that's my name." Emily told him as she took in the information she was told. If Arceus is Latios' boss did that make him even more powerful than Latios? Could he even be on par with Neo Queen Serenity?

"And I am Xerneas, Arceus' wife. It's a pleasure to meet you little one." Xerneas then said to her smiling before Emily could ponder further.

"My name is Celebi, cutie. I must say you are one of the most adorable hatchlings I've seen Emily." Celebi then commented as she looked down at her, she also saw Latios smiling down at her proudly, he had almost returned to his normal blue colouration. Now that Celebi was looking at her she noted that her eyes were almost the same shade of blue as her mother's.

Emily then returned to her previous thoughts, if she was correct and Arceus was on par with Neo Queen Serenity, then perhaps he could help her get back home.

Latios said not to mention any of this but if there is even a chance that he can help me get back home and back to normal then I should at least try. No matter what Latios thinks might happen. Emily thought to herself before she began speaking to Arceus directly.

"It's nice to meet you Arceus, but I believe there is a misunderstanding. I'm not actually a hatchling, this probably sounds crazy and you might not believe me but, I'm actually a human and I need your help, I come from another dimension and…" Before Emily could finish her sentence, she saw and felt that Latias had put her paw on her mouth and was now preventing her from speaking.

HEY! WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!? I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY STORY TO ARCEUS RATIONALLY AND THEN YOU INTERRUPT BEFORE I CAN FINISH?! I HOPE THIS HURTS SINCE I KNOW YOU ALL CAN HEAR ME! Emily then thought angrily, how dare Latias prevent her from telling Arceus her story. He was her only hope at getting back home so why prevent her from trying to ask for his help?!

Emily smirked triumphantly as she saw all the legendaries in the room groaning and holding their heads in pain. All except Virizion that is, but it served them right for always snooping through her thoughts.

Virizion just looked at her companions in confusion. "What does the hatchling also have telepathy?"

"No." Mesprit then answered her as she rubbed her head in pain. "But she does know how to send a mental mind shout through her thoughts."

"Really?" Virizion asked as she looked at Emily incredulously. "Ouch, that must have hurt, and she's what only a few days old? I think you have your paws full here Latios."

"You think so captain obvious?" Latios then asked her in a pained grunt as he too rubbed his head.

"Owie…" Emily heard Latias say as she finally took her paw off Emily's mouth. Latias looked in a little worse pain that the others, but that could be because the mind shout was meant for her. "Emily, that wasn't very nice."

"Neither was covering my mouth with your paw!" Emily told her with a glare. She was still very miffed that Latias had tried to stop her from telling her tale.

"Could someone explain to me what is going on?" Arceus then asked looking like he had only just recovered from her mind shout.

"Yes, I am quite confused as well." Xerneas said as she recovered as well.

"Uh, well… you see, Emily has a rather active imagination for her age." Latios told them and Emily's anger all but disappeared.

If he got in their heads before she could finish her story, then she could forget about them ever believing her and helping her get back home. Arceus was the only hope she had if her suspicions about him were correct. She didn't understand why no one would help her, all she wanted was to go home but it seemed like no one was going to help her.

I may as well face it, I am never going to see my mom again… Emily thought sadly to herself, she'd never see her mom or her friends again, and there was almost nothing she could do about it.

Suddenly Emily felt a paw petting her head. Looking up she saw that Mesprit had floated over to her with a concerned look on her face.

"Hey now, no need to be sad." She heard Mesprit say soothingly to her as she pets her head. "This is supposed to be a happy day, a pretty little cutie like you shouldn't be making such a painfully sad face."

The action did little to comfort her because they still didn't believe her, and she knew that Latios was telling them all what he thought about her story. And when Latios looked over at her as if he was really worried about her, she wanted to scoff at him. How dare he act as if he cared about her! If he actually cared he would listen to her rather than file her story as childish nonsense.

Everything was quiet for a while and she guessed that they were all having a private conversation through telepathy, more than likely discussing her. Emily was trying to be hopeful and that maybe they would help her, but when Arceus finally spoke she knew that was hardly the case.

"Latios, please let me handle this." Arceus said before he turned his attention to Emily speaking to her in a very gentle tone. "Young one? You really do have a wonderfully creative mind, the fact that you're still so young makes me believe that you could be smarter than Uxie when you grow up. Which is why it breaks my heart to tell you this, but I am afraid that your story cannot be true. It truly is a wonderful tale don't get me wrong but it's just not…"

"It's not just some story!" Emily then interrupted him she was tired of hearing how her being from another dimension was impossible, she needed to get her story across and that was that. "I'm not just making this up, it's the truth. My full name is Emily Aino, I am the daughter of Minako Aino and Charles Green, my mother is the reincarnated Princess of Venus and later became the Sailor Guardian of Love and Beauty before that role was passed down to me. I come from a world that is I am guessing similar to this one, only on my Earth some of us have special powers such as me and my friends. One of my best friends is known as Princess Small Lady Serenity Chiba, but we just call her Rini for short. Neo Queen Serenity is her mother as well as one of the rulers of my world, she is the possessor of the Legendary Silver Crystal, a crystal that has the power to promote eternal life to those exposed to its light, this is only achieved possible though by the strength of the possessors' heart. Because of this people have wanted to make the Crystal their own and use its power for evil, but the evil we face right now does not seek the Crystal. They seek to conquer and destroy so only they may rule and see the Silver Crystal as a threat to that goal. That is why I need your help, I must return home as soon as possible before the Dark Nebula makes their big move. I do not think my friends or family can handle this threat alone, they need me. Please if you don't believe me find the Time-Space door which is guarded by Sailor Pluto, she can confirm my story. Please Arceus, I fear that you are my only hope of getting back home where I belong."

(Latios)

"Please Arceus, I fear that you are my only hope of getting back home where I belong." Emily said as she finally finished her story and it wasn't long until Latios felt the eyes of every legendary in the room on him, as if demanding an explanation as to why he hadn't mentioned these details when he was explaining her fantasy.

"What are you all looking at me for?! All of that is new to me too!" Latios told them defensively. It seemed he had underestimated just how active her imagination was, Emily's had to be the wildest imagination he had ever witnessed.

"Time-Space Door?" Latios then heard Celebi repeat the words Emily had spoken. She sounded like she was trying to wrap her head around the idea of such a thing existing. But what worried Latios more was what Celebi would think of Emily after all this.

He worried because Celebi was the love of his life, and if she didn't like his daughter… he could barely contain his sadness at such a thought. Why did Emily have to bring up her fantasy here of all places? Hadn't he told her to be careful about mentioning all that? Why hadn't she listened to him? Did Emily truly believe that no one would try and hurt her just because she was so young or what?

"Emily? Are you sure something like that exists?" Latios then heard Celebi ask his daughter. Did this mean she didn't think Emily was too unique? Had he been worried about nothing? "I've traveled through time over a million times and I have never heard of or seen such a thing."

Emily looked slightly taken aback when Celebi told her this, but it didn't seem to discourage her too much because of how she answered Celebi. "I know it exists, my mom has traveled through it before to go to the future, an alternate future mind you but still the future. It was because of Rini that she went to the future, the Rini of that time had traveled to the past in order to find Sailor Moon and the Silver Crystal of the past so she could save her mom and the 30th century. In that future, me and my friends didn't exist but because Rini came to the past and Sailor Moon met her future self the timeline, the future was able to change. But the only way to travel through time in my world is to pass through the Time-Space door with the assistance of a Time-Space Key. Without a key, one can become lost in time forever. It is Sailor Pluto who has these keys and whom guards the door for she is the Guardian of Space and Time. I realize that this all sounds crazy, but it does exist."

Her fantasy just gets crazier by the minute. Latios then heard his sister think and while Latios didn't disagree with her, he didn't want the word 'crazy' associated with Emily at all. Despite everything she was his baby now and he knew that he would love her unconditionally. Even if she didn't feel the same.

"…Emily, your mind truly is unique." Arceus then told her in a gentle tone. "However, the reason that nothing you have said so far can be real is because there are no other dimensions besides this one and Ultra Space. I have looked multiple times and there aren't any others."

This statement shocked Latios the most, Arceus had actually looked for other dimensions and had not told them?! The news seemed to shock everyone else in the room as well because soon enough they all began questioning him.

"Wait you did what?! When?!" Latias asked sounding astonished.

"You checked how many times?!" Meloetta asked in the same kind of tone. She must have momentarily forgot her heart ache.

"How could you keep this from us?!" Latios himself interjected.

"Everyone calm down!" Xerneas then shouted at them all and soon the room quieted. "The reason my husband never told you anything is because there was nothing to report."

"Yet he told you." Mew then said with a light pout.

"I am his wife, he can't hide anything from me." Xerneas told them all.

"That…is true." Arceus then told them in an embarrassed tone, in all of Latios' life he had never heard of anyone who could embarrass Arceus, until now that is. He guessed Xerneas really did have special perks being his wife. "I guess I owe you all an explanation. Not long after I created this world I thought I detected a third world, but before I could confirm this the Ultra Beasts attacked our world and I had to focus on that. It wasn't until after the Ultra Wars and everything had settled down for me to search for other dimensions."

Latios then noticed how his attention turned to Emily once more and how gentle his tone became for her as if he was telling a child there was no Santa Claus. He wondered if he should be taking notes. "But I never found a third, I double checked and triple checked on other occasions and still nothing. I am afraid that the only ones that exist are this one and Ultra Space. Emily your story is truly magnificent one and I am sure I would enjoy reading it in a book one day, but sadly all evidence points to it being just that, a story."

Just how old does he think I am? Latios cringed as he heard her annoyed thoughts loud and clear. He knew Arceus had told him to let him handle this but he really wanted to warn Emily to watch her tone.

"Well did you ever think that they don't want to be found?" Emily then asked him and there was indeed still a hint of annoyance in her tone. Emily's persistence was truly unbelievable.

"Exactly who found her egg?" Virizion then asked as she looked at his daughter like she was a little off her rocker. This is what Latios had been trying to avoid but it was much too late now.

That would be Thundurus. Latios answered her telepathically anyway.

That explains a lot. He then heard Virizion say in her thoughts. At least she wasn't thinking his child was crazy anymore.

"For a child that is only a few days old you are quite adamant." Arceus commented "No one is able to seal off an entire dimension, I would know I created Dialga and Palkia and neither of them are capable of such a task, we tried many times during the Ultra Wars. They also have never mentioned any kind of 'Time-Space Door' existing and if anyone knows more about alternate dimensions or timelines it would be them."

"Yes, well I don't know any force more powerful than the Legendary Silver Crystal. I bet if the possessor had a strong enough heart they could probably do such a thing." Emily answered, it seemed that not even Arceus could get her to let go of this fantasy. Just what was he going to do?

"Yes, of course. My mistake young one." Arceus then told Emily in a tone that Latios knew meant he was humouring her because he didn't want to argue with a hatchling. He then turned to Latios and spoke in a more serious tone. "I see your paws truly have been full these past few days."

Latios was thankful Arceus didn't notice or see the sour look Emily was giving him after his comment. "Yes, well she is very unique, and I doubt there are any parenting books that would give any helpful advice about how to raise one such as her."

"Uh well, Latios if you would like…I would be more than willing to help you out." Celebi then told him with a blush and Latios felt his face heat up instantly. Did Celebi just say she wanted to raise Emily together with him? As in like a family? Latios wanted to jump for joy at that thought but instead he opted for just turning as red as his sister and smiling.

"Oh and if we need extra help I can ask Azelf!" Latias then interrupted. "I know he would love to lend a hand as well especially if I ask him."

Am I an excuse for a double date now or something? Latios then heard Emily say to herself in her thoughts.

"What Emily said." Latios told his sister with an annoyed look. Honestly did she only think of how to score dates with Azelf? "Looking after my daughter should not be considered a date!"

"I-I didn't mean it like that either!" Celebi exclaimed sounding as flustered as ever, which just made her cuter in Latios' eyes.

"You sure about that Celebi?" Mew then asked her teasingly.

"Y-Yes I'm sure!" Celebi said in a cute little squeak but Mew just laughed at her.

"Alright Mew that's enough, stop before you influence the hatchling." Xerneas told her even though she still sounded amused.

"Yes, listen to Xerneas!" Celebi said in that cute flustered tone still.

"You say that as if that has ever stopped her before." Virizion then giggled.

Latios had almost about as much as he could take until a certain hatchling spoke up.

"Are you two a couple or what?" Emily asked. "Everyone here says you two are in love yet you have not referred to each other as boyfriend and girlfriend so exactly what are you?"

Latios didn't know how to respond, he hadn't really been prepared for such a question.

"W-we're uh…. Complicated." was all he could manage and his face was as hot as ever.

"Why does it always have to be complicated?" He then heard Emily grumble. "You two are not teenagers, whatever happened in the past should stay there. It doesn't have to complicated it's actually really simple, you like her and she likes you that really is all there is to it."

Emily said that like it was so easy but if Latios really thought about it, maybe it was that easy. It wasn't like he and Celebi had broken up on bad terms, could they really just get back together, just like that? And how is that Emily possessed such wisdom at her age.

Perhaps there is a chance, I've been on leave since I got Emily's egg and nothing has fallen apart. Just as Latios thought that though he heard a minor explosion that caused the room to shake and the lights to flicker slightly it only lasted a minute but it was enough to annoy him.

"Okay what have those idiots done now?!" Latios basically shouted in annoyance before he instinctively headed for the exit only for his sister to fly in front of him and send him a glare.

"Hold it brother! Just where do you think you're going?! You have a child now remember?" His sister scolded him and Latios muttered a curse he hoped Emily did not hear. How could he even for a moment forget that she was with him? "You can't just leave her here while you go off to yell at someone and fix whatever is broken, someone else can go check it out you stay here."

"I'll go handle it Latios." Celebi said and Latios frowned at this why did something always happen when they tried to spend time together? "You just take care of Emily and I'll take care of this, it's the least I can do."

"You shouldn't have to…" Latios then said quietly to her, Celebi only responded by kissing his cheek before she looked at Emily.

"Goodbye Emily, it was nice to meet you. I hope to see you again soon." Celebi told her before flying off to resolve whatever had caused the explosion. Latios would admit that he missed her already, but instead of dwelling on the sadness that was soon to come he floated back toward Emily who was shaking slightly.

"Emily? Are you okay? Did the explosion scare you?" He questioned her, not caring for once that everyone was watching him.

"I-I'm fine." Is what she managed to stutter out and Latios couldn't help but frown as she shook. Poor girl was obviously frightened.

After undoing the strap Latios picked Emily up out of the baby carriage. He hugged her after putting her into a cradling position and spoke to her in a soft soothing tone.

"Hush now, it's okay." He cooed to her as he cuddled her. "It's okay, it was just one of the dummies being dumb again. There's nothing to be afraid of, you're safe."

"He's right sweetie, everything is okay now." Latias cooed as she began to scratch Emily's sweet spot, causing her to chirp cutely and most surprisingly snuggle against him. She had never snuggled him of her own accord and even now he wasn't certain that she was but it made him happy all the same.

"That is the cutest thing I have ever seen!" Mew then squealed but Latios paid her almost no mind as he just cuddled Emily and hoped the baby shower would go on smoothly now.

(Serena)

"Any news on Emily's whereabouts Pluto?" Serena asked her friend.

"Not as of yet My Queen, I am still looking into it I assure you but it has only been a week, I am afraid I need a bit more time." Setsuna told her and Serena sighed, knowing that she would have to give Mina the bad news.

Where Serena stood now was normally off limits but considering that this was a time of crisis, she thought that those rules should be bent for now. She stood in the in-between, where Time and Space existed in one where the past connected to the present and the future. Serena stood in the realm of the Time-Space Door.

She knew that if there was anyone that could find out what happened to Mina's daughter and where she was it was Sailor Pluto. She could see many possible timelines as well as see into space itself. So far though her search has come up empty.

"I understand Pluto, please do let me know when you do have news though." Serena told her before she heard someone approach and turned to see that it was Luna.

"Your majesty, I am sorry to interrupt but your brother is waiting for you." Luna her cat guardian and old friend told her.

"Sammy? Alright tell him I'll be right along Luna." She wondered what Sammy could want, he didn't normally visit the palace unless it was a family occasion. As she turned to leave though she looked towards Setsuna once more. "Tell me one thing though Pluto, did you know this would happen?"

"You mean, did I know that she would disappear? Setsuna said in that wise tone of hers. "It is true that I see many possible futures and in one of them there was a time in which Emily Aino disappeared for quite sometime whether this will lead to that future is still unclear. But to answer your actual question as to if I knew when or how I will answer that as a no. And I know you will ask it my queen and yes I would have told you if I did know, believe me when I say that seeing Mina in this much pain is disheartening. If I could have prevented this kind of heartache for her I would have."

"I believe you Setsuna, thank you." Serena said before she went to the door that connected the palace to the Space-Time door.

As she went to meet her brother, Serena pondered over what Pluto had said. She had said she knew of a timeline where Emily disappeared for sometime, so did that mean Emily would come back? And would the future that came out of it be good or bad? Serena was as uncertain now as she had been all those years ago before she was made Queen and had her little Rini.

"Sister!" Sammy called out to her as she approached. "Or should I call you, your highness?"

"Oh please don't, I get enough of that around here." Serena told her younger brother as she approached and gave him a hug. "So where's Mika? Is she working on her latest doll and couldn't be pulled away?"

"Well yes and no… she really wanted to be here when I gave the news but then a client came by to make a request about a doll, and well she has a rather short deadline to make it." Sammy explained as he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly. "So, Mika told me just to come alone to give you and Darien the news."

"And what news might that be Sam?" A deep voice asked from behind that still managed to make Serena melt every time she heard it. She turned to see her husband, or as she liked to call him, her ebony haired Adonis. Darien was being led to the throne room by Diana. Dressed in a white tuxedo and cape he looked as dashing as the day they wed.

"Ah, Darien, as I was just about to tell my sister… well, it seems that Mika and I are expecting." Sammy then told them and Serena could see the hint of embarrassed blush. Her brother always did have hard time of expressing his feelings but right now she could care less about that because she had just been told she was going to be an Aunt!

"Sammy that's wonderful!" Serena squealed as she took her brother in for another hug.

"Yes, Sam that is truly wonderful news, congratulations to you and Mika both." Her husband then told her brother.

"Thank you, both of you." Sammy said as he escaped her hug and was still blushing. "And a special thanks to you Serena… if it weren't for you… I would have died along with Mom and Dad and our baby wouldn't even exist."

Serena had tears in her eyes as she remembered that day. The day that truly sparked the beginning of Crystal Tokyo…

TO BE CONTINUED…

MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I have succeeded finally! I have finished this chapter! And yes it took some huge debate on whether I should make this a cliff hanger or if I should do the flashback this chapter but I figured that I had made this chapter long enough as it is so why drag it out even more and give you all something to look forward to for next time.

Yes, next chapter you all get to hear my version as to how Crystal Tokyo came to be. Since it is never explained, I mean really would it have killed the writers to tell us how Serena/Usagi was made Neo Queen Serenity?

Anyway again sorry for such the long wait there is no excuse for it other than me procrastinating. And for those feeling the wrath of Irma I pray for your safety and please pray for my Floridian boyfriend's as well my fellow authors and readers.

That's all for now until next time.
