"So," Arceus said, His golden ring shining in the void. "Agender?"

"The term will suffice," Arceus allowed. "I did not wish to limit myself."

Xey made an expansive shrugging motion. "Of course, that is what I felt at the time. You may have felt differently; our worlds are different; we are thus different. I will not judge."

"Of course," Arceus agreed.

He considered. "Would it help if I went Shiny to differentiate us?"

"It would not," Arceus replied, tapping xer hoof on thin air. "Mew already made one. They are Ash's phone now."

"You have an Ash as well, of course," Arceus realized, then brightened. "Excuse Me. I will be a moment."

There was a faint change to reality.

"That should be better," Arceus decided. "I hope this adds clarity."

"It does," Arceus agreed. "And yes, of course I have an Ash. My world still exists, does it not?"

"Good point," Arceus admitted. "So, how did your Ash do with the Galactic incident?"

Arceus blinked. "The what?"

"The Galactic Incident," Arceus repeated. "The attempt by Team Galactic to remake the universe in the Spear Pillar. I had to reset the whole of reality to get Ash in the right position to sort it out."

"I do not know what to tell you," Arceus said, furrowing xer brow. "I do not remember a Team Galactic."

"Cyrus?" Arceus asked. "The Red Chain? Is this not ringing a bell?"

"Is that who left the duplicate Red Chain and computer equipment in the Spear Pillar?" Arceus wondered.

As Arceus looked increasingly ineffable, Arceus came to a decision.

"Yes," xey said. "It must be. Ash left a note after closing the Spear Pillar, but I did not know where the Red Chains there had come from."

"If that is what happens from including the Fairy-type right from the start, then I clearly missed a trick," Arceus mumbled to Himself.
