//------------------------------// // Chapter 15: Holy Intervention // Story: My Little Pokemon: Rings of Darkness // by Napalm monster //------------------------------// I took a deep breathe Me, Hoopa, the Crusaders, Metagross and Manaphy, passed the ring portal, I felt a wave of energy wash over me when I stepped foot on the other side. When I glanced around me, I saw we were in the same astral plane as when me and Xerneas would often converse in my sleep. The others seemed a bit daunted, but not me since I've been here almost regularly. Then Hoopa spoke. 'Were here!' Hoopa announced. "What is this place?" Scootaloo asked, as she and the others studied their surroundings. "I'm guessing home to Arceus." I said. "Then, where is he?" Applebloom asked, her eyes darted around for any signs of life. I turned to Manaphy, "Okay Manapy, you're a legendary Pokemon, where is he." 'What, you think jus' cause I'm a legendary Pokemon, I know my way around every legendary realm!? Draw me a map of fucking Kalos!' Manaphy fumed, clearly offended in some way. 'Aaaa' Metagross replied, 'We have children present among us.' "What's Kalos anyway?" Sweetie asked. "It's France but a version from their world." I explained lazily, jabbing my thumb over my shoulder to the Pokemon. "Wait, their world?" Applebloom replied, "I thought you were all from the same world?" "And what the hecks a France?" Scootaloo asked. I did a double take and quickly regretted my choice of words, "Oh well, uhm, it's funny how you mention it-" 'Look!' Hoopa shouted, 'Look at what Hoopa see's! Look at what Hoopa see's! Look at what Hoopa see's!' We all turned to where Hoopa was shouting and to our great surprise a door that was clearly not there a second ago, suddenly appeared a few feet away. It was a big white regal door, with gold trimmings on the side, handles made of shiny, reflective gold, but the thing that drew my attention was a giant emblem on top, which was a huge 'X'-like wheel with a small a 'O' in the middle of 'X'. The Pokemon who recognized the symbol gasped. 'Thats the sign of the alpha Pokemon,' Metagross said outloud, a mixture of fear and awe in his voice, 'The one who shaped the world.' "You mean Arceus?" Sweetie asked. 'Indeed,' Metagross nodded, 'Not many Pokemon have ever been blessed to grace his presence.' 'Even I've never met the dude, but I know he's on the "You do not fuck with list".' Manaphy added, ignoring the glare from Metagross for her use of profanity. "Okay," I said grabbing everyone's attention, "I'm going in alone, all of you stay behind." 'Are you sure sir, Arceus power is nothing you've ever witness, and I'm not sure you want to go in there alone.' Metagross warned. "Listen, the only thing powerful enough to stop the Pokemon embodiment of death is the Pokemon embodiment of God. He is the only thing that can save these poor creatures world." I gestured to the crusaders, "and I am going to convince him that he is coming back with us to help stop him, even at the cost of my own life. No matter what you hear in there, no matter how cruelly I beg you, no matter how terribly I may scream, do not open this door or you will undo everything I have planned for. Do you understand? Do not open this door." 'Yes, Sir.' Metagross nodded his body, understanding, by how serious I was. 'Good luck, Omegakan' Hoopa said. "Be careful Mr. Jones." Sweetie said. 'Nice workin' with ya.' Manaphy said flatly, as if this would be the last time we would see each other. "Shut up." I told Manaphy in the same flat tone as hers before turning to the door. 'Curse this cursed boy.' Yveltal murmured to himself, perched on one of the buildings of Ponyville. "Master! Master! Master!" Yveltal heard a cheerful high pitch voice interrupt his sulking. 'Hmm?' Yveltal mumbled, as he turned to his newest minions, Pinkie Pie, now with gray fur, accompanied with red crimson eyes, ' What is it slave?' "I've got good news!" Pinkie said, though now her evil alignment, she was still the hyper and cheerful pony she was before, only more evil and instead of wanting to spread joy, she wanted to spread death. 'Good news?' Yveltal asked with a raised eyebrow. 'Unless you've finally found that boy that vexes me so by alluding me so much, I fail to see what could be so important to bother me.' "Oh it is," Pinkie nodded, arms behind her back, "I'm going to throw a "Yay! We Just Became Evil!" party! At SugarCube Corner, and your invited!" Yveltal scowled and then hissed, 'There will be no celebration until you find the boy and that bottle, until then, all festivities are out of the question.' Pinkie's hair deflated, going fully straight, she then pulled out a tray of cupcakes from behind her backs, "But I already prepared this tray of cupcakes made of pony intestines, lungs, livers and other vitals organs." 'Huh, that would explain the faint screaming I heard earlier and sense of death in the area.' Yveltal muttered. Suddenly a large explosion rock the entire area, Yveltal turned his head to see a giant tree in the middle of town suddenly bursted into flames. "Hey that's Twilights house." Pinkie said, she then giggled sadistically, "Or, more like WAS her house." She continued to giggle, displaying her new evil personality. Yveltal for the most part ignored her, and narrowed his eyes tracing the explosion back to- 'Ugh, not him again.' Yveltal grumbled as he spotted Tirek outside of town. "Master!" Yveltal heard, he looked up to see Rainbow Dash flying his way, "Our friend Twilight seems to be engaging Tirek." 'Well good, let someone else keep that fool distracted for a change, tell the others to stay clear of their little quarrel and continue searching for Omega, their battle is irrelevant, unless they interfere with our search.' "Yes master," Rainbow saluted, "I'll find that alien and slaughter him myself." 'No!' Yveltal replied, loudly, 'Ill be the one to end him, and I'll take his soul and I will keep it as a memorabilia. I want to remeber this moment, for once he's gone, I will control the legendaries, then this world, and finally the Pokemon world. ' "Yes master." As soon as I opened those doors, I was greeted with breathtaking sight. It was a cloudy area, with pillars on the side made of ivory, the floors themselves were made of clouds. I tested the floor and surprisingly they had a thick density to them. I walked forward and I saw the place looked like a holy church with stain glass window displaying every historic moment in the Pokemon world. There was one stained glass window with Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza, the legendary bird trio, the lake trio, Lugia, Ho-Oh, and others. Another one with Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyruem, and other legendaries, ones I knew and didn't know, like this one with a lion against some weird bat creature with both the sun and moon in the background. 'Who dares enter this domain?' I heard a loud and commanding voice. This voice sent all the hairs on my body standing up, along with goosebumps, I felt fear ride up my spine as I knew damn well who that voice belonged to. I turned my head to the very end of the room, sitting on a porcelain throne with the same golden emblem from the door. Was Arceus bathing in holy light shining behind through a giant circular stained glass window with Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Mew and Arceus smack dab in the center. "Holy God!" I couldn't help but say. 'Yes?' he replied, the commanding bass in his voice never leaving. "Uhm," I quickly kneeled down, and bowed before him, "Great and Mighty Arceus, I am humbled to be in your presence." 'Rise human.' he demanded in a softer tone, 'Have you come to seek my guidance?' I quickly standed up and beamed, "Yes actually, I would love some guidance. Actually I have a situation that requires your most holiest intervention." 'You do not come from this world do you? Or the Pokemon world?' "Yes, I'm really far from home." I admitted, "and now Xerneas-" 'Oh Me, not fucking Xerneas. Is she still hung on me, listen whatever happened between us is over. Bosses aren't allowed to date other employees, and if this is her idea of some sick joke sending in some human, then that bitch is gonna hear it. I'm so tired of her sending me messages of her bullshit, can't that Pokemon get a fucking life. Ironic since she is the Pokemon of life.' "Uh, what?" I asked, baffled and a bit lost. Arceus remained silent and began rubbing his forehead with his hoof and looked to the corner of his eye before focusing on me, 'You don't know?' "Know what?" I said uncomfortably, until realization dawned over me, "You mean, you and Xerneas use to-" 'Never fucking mind that anymore. It was a thousand years ago and we were both still impressionable. I don't even know why I'm telling this to a human, what do you want!' I regained my bearings and began to gather my voice, "Well-I uh, anyways I have a problem, you see I was transported from another world into this other world with anthro ponies." Arceus raised a brow, 'Ponies you say. So it happened to you too huh?' "What happened to me? Other then navigating through a girly world filled with wierdo ponies?" I replied. Arceus coughed into his hoof, looking slightly skittish, 'Im guessing you wish to return to your realm?' "Yeah," I then thought about it, "Well maybe, I'm not sure just yet, first I gotta deal with Yveltal-" 'Wait a minute, Yveltal?' Arceus interrupted me again, he then groaned, annoyed, 'Thats guys always been a dick. "Kill this, kill that. I wanna kill everyone." And he's always looking to overthrow me, which would never happen unless he had Hoopas prison bottle. Which he would never ever get.' I hunched my shoulders and frowned, "Uh yeah, um, about that. I have that bottle." I said sheepishly. Arceus eyes widened, a moment of silence passed between us, 'You have his prison bottle?' I grinned sheepishly, my hands behind my back, I then spoke softly, "Uhm.......yeah." 'The same one with all that repressed evil inside?' Arceus asked, his facial expression never changing. I nodded nervously. Arceus suddenly closed his eyes and silently inhaled loudly, one that dragged on for a long time. After 45 uncomfortable seconds he finished. He spoke in a surprisingly relaxed voice, 'Okay it's obvious what we have to do now.' "It is?" Arceus nodded, 'Yes. To find the answers you seek, you must first look within in this bag.' Arceus then pulled out a burlap sack from behind him and presented it to me. "In there?" I asked, slightly skeptical. Arcues nodded in a relaxed manner, 'Yeah totally dude.' "And all my question will be answered?" 'Yeah sure whatever.' I hesitantly approached the empty bag and peered inside it, finding nothing, "It's kinda empty." 'Look in deeper.' I slowly inched my face into the bag and still found nothing, "All I see is blackness, it smells like potatoes in here." 'Deeper! Deeper, Deeper, Deeper!' "Nope, nothing." 'You know, while your at it, why don't you just stick your whole head in there.' I did as I was told and put my entire head in the bag, I suddenly found the bag cinched over my head as I felt Arceus struggling over me. 'Guys, get out here! help me kill this cocksucker!' Arceus yelled 'If he can't breathe, he can't ask questions!' I heard a voice with a pirate accent threatened in-remorsefully. 'Someone hand me a blade, I'll cut this motherfuckers dick off!' Arceus said, causing me to turn pale white. 'No! This isn't right, let him go.' I heard a high pitch voice plead with them, 'We can't kill him!' 'Shut up lad, he knows too much, you know what kind of power dat shit 'ill do ta us? Look what he did to me and Dialga back in dat town!' The pirate voice growled. 'If we kill him, then we're no better than Yveltal.' 'Ah fuck, he's right.' Arceus slurred, sounding defeated. 'What!?' Said Zekrom, Dialga and Kyogre. 'Nope, we maybe gods but if we kill a human and word gets out about this shit, it'll set back humans and Pokemons impression of all of us thousands and thousands of years back.' Arceus proclaimed, 'let him go.' I was sent crashing to the floor as light came back flooding my vision. I rubbed my head, and stared infront of me and was able to catch a glimpse of the voices I heard to see Kyogre, Zekrom, Victini, and Dialga standing infront of me. "What? What're all of you doing here?" I asked in slight disbelief. 'We be the ones askin' da questions ya fuckin' mongrel!' Kyogre said. "Then why the hell were you guys trying to kill me!?" I asked equally angry. Arceus, Dialga, and Zekrom looked at each other, then they huddled together. Dialga was the first to speak, 'Should we tell him? With Yveltal after him and the prison bottle, time is not a luxury he or any of us has.' 'Your the one with the fucking future vision, you should know how this plays out in the end.' Zekrom informed. 'There's been a temporal and spacial disruption that won't give me full access to my future vision, I can't see that far yet.' Dialga then coughed into his throat sheepishly, ' especially with Palkia gone' Arceus groaned, 'Fine, we'll tell him.' Arceus turned around, 'Sit human, we have much to discuss.'
