My Little Pokémon

by Amarvax

Arceus Museum

The Resort Area. Sinnoh Region. The Pokemon Festival. 14:00.

The Resort Area. A city that attracts Trainers who know there are other ways of enjoying Pokémon than battling. It was just Northeast of Sinnoh.

And just like Equestria, it was also apart of the Pokemon Festival along with every other region across the Pokemon World. It was great that Barry brought this up or else a lot would've been missed out.

Already, many ponies had arrived here to check out the festival in the Pokemon World to see what it had to offer them as opposed to Equestria

Ash, Twilight, the royal sisters and their parents, alongside Barry and Cilan had arrived at the Resort Area. Sunlight was the one who wanted to come here the most after hearing how historic Sinnoh was for being the first region while Ash was the one who recommended it.

"Ah...Sinnoh. It's been a while." Twilight took in the fresh air of Sinnoh.

"Feels great to be back," Barry said.

"Sinnoh. This is the region with all the lore, isn't it?" Luna asked Ash.

"Sure is!" Ash nodded. "Sinnoh's got a lot to explore and learn, ya know. Twilight's even borrowed some books from Canalave Library here in Sinnoh."

"Arceus is well known in this region, isn't he?" said Celestia. "I'm a bit interested in learning more about the Pokemon World because of him."

"Seems we might be in luck. Have a look." Cilan pointed his finger at something that would most definitely grab the attention of Celestia and the others regarding Arceus.

There was an entire attraction plus stand that was dedicated to Arceus himself exclusively. A domed building that had the colour palette of Arceus. From White to Gold. It was even emanating a golden glow that was meant to represent Arceus's infinite light.

It seemed to be some sort of Arceus Attraction. What lies inside is yet to be revealed.

"Oh sweet!" Ash dashed over. "An Arceus Attraction!"

"Pikachu!"

"I heard that Arceus wasn't too well known beyond Sinnoh. Which is why some call it a Mythical Pokemon." Cilan looked up at the attraction.

"Hm? You mean not everyone thinks Arceus is real?" Barry turned to Cilan.

"Nope. Some of them even think he's just a figment of our imagination." Cilan shrugged.

"Well, he is as real as they come. We've witnessed him before." Luna replied, walking past Cilan.

"Are we gonna see Arceus in here?" Ash wondered as he and Pikachu had entered the dome. When they arrived, they found out that the interior resembled that of a high-quality museum. Albeit, a museum that only had Arceus and nothing else.

"Oh! A museum?!" Twilight squeed as she was already a fan of this place. As if her knowledge of Pokemon couldn't go any further. Now there was a museum. Little does Twilight Sparkle know, that across every region, many museums are waiting to be discovered and experienced.

"For a Pokemon, most people don't think is real...they sure put a lot of effort into this to make it really stand out." Barry crossed his arms, looking around the museum.

There was a lot to discover in this Arceus museum. From the giant golden Arceus statue coupled with smaller silver Arceus statues, artwork depicting what Arceus could actually look like, replicas of Arceus's symbols in the form of pendants and there was even a gift shop that had some Arceus pendants and other accessories.

There were interactive holographic videos that showcased theories on who Arceus might be. Since Arceus is considered a major myth, not many actually know much about Arceus. In fact, some interpret Arceus in different and unique ways. Even the appearance of Arceus varies from person to person. Some think he's just a ghost-like creature with only red eyes while others think he has a humanoid appearance.

But of course, despite many theories and myths about Arceus, one thing that was consistently known is that Arceus shares a strong relation to Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. In fact, despite this solely being an Arceus museum, the three Pokemon that were related to the Alpha Pokemon had their own sections as well, albeit minuscule. They were just as important to the Pokemon World as Arceus.

"Hm. This is different from what the books from Canalave Library had." Twilight looked at a section that went through a possible theory on the history of Arceus.

Instead of the traditional origin of Arceus emerging from a single egg in an endless void, this theory described Arceus as the embodiment of the Pokemon World. That Arceus was birthed from the core of the planet and is considered the planet's will.

Twilight firmly believed that the book from Canalave Library was the definitive book that held all the necessary and factual information on Arceus. The chapter in the book containing Arceus information was known as The Original One.

"All of these theories. Is Arceus really that rare?" Eventide said.

"The rarest there is," Ash replied. "But even so, Arceus is still seen by others, ya know. I know of a few who've seen him before."

"I believe Sunset Shimmer mentioned how Arceus arrived at the human world once the Pokemon World had connected with it." Luna chimed in. "I'd say we're one of the lucky selections to have seen Arceus with our own eyes."

"Lucky!" Barry exclaimed. "It'd be so cool to meet Arceus too!"

"But who are these three, exactly?" Celestia went up to Dialga, Palkia and Giratina's section.

"Oh!" Twilight teleported over. "Those are Dialga, Palkia and Giratina! The Creation Trio! I actually met one of them." She proudly grinned.

"Creation Trio?" Celestia looked up at the statues of the three Dragon-Type Pokemon. "By that...do you mean...?"

"Mhm!" Twilight nodded. "Dialga created time. Palkia created space. And Giratina created Antimatter. According to the Legends of Sinnoh, hey were simultaneously created by Arceus, when the universe and Sinnoh region began at Spear Pillar. Dialga and Palkia were given control over their representative dimensions, time and space respectively, while Giratina was banished to the Distortion World, I think it was called."

"Antimatter? What's that?" Barry asked.

"It's similar to matter but has opposite properties and charges," Cilan explained. "It's pretty destructive."

"I saw these Pokemon during the Tantabus actually," Luna said. "Ash, weren't you the one who dreamt of them?"

"Sure did!" Ash nodded. "They're as real as the eye can see."

"Dialga also helped us once when Starlight travelled through time. I don't know what we would've done without Dialga!" Twilight chuckled nervously. "Things would've been so much more different!"

"Oh! Have a look at these!" Cilan's attention had been drawn towards the Arceus gift shop. The items here really caught his eye and everyone else's.

"Oooh!" Sunlight pressed her face on the glass with Cilan. "That pendant looks divine! Think it would fit on me?"

"These prices are pretty harsh..." Ash winced at an Arceus crown that cost 800,000,000 Pokedollars.

"Pika..."

"Those prices mean nothing, Ash, my boy!" Eventide patted Ash on the back. Although...They are pretty intimidating..."

"That is a pretty nice crown..." Twilight gawked at the crown as she spoke to herself. "Maybe if I put it on, Ash will find me cuter..."

"I'll take that one! That one looks affordable!" Ash pointed at an Arceus cape. "And pretty neat too! Only 40,000 Pokedollars? That's a real steal!"

Luna picked up an Arceus figure that had a purple cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen instead of the usual gold that he's always seen with. She also noticed how there were more of them with different colours. Luna then read the tag, figuring out what it really was.

"Poison-Type...Arceus?" She then picked up another Arceus toy that had a dark colour instead. "Dark-Type Arceus? How unique. They all come in different types. Innovative."

"Oh, that's just what Arceus normally does," Ash mentioned as he was shuffling in his bag for Pokedollars.

"What do you mean?" They all asked him.

"Oh, right! You guys don't know!" Ash placed his bag down. "You see, Arceus has the power of all Pokemon types!"

"Pika-Pikachu!"

"The power of all Pokemon types?!" Barry screeched. "That's so cool! But...how's that possible?"

"Well, Arceus has these Life Plates that he carries around with him. There's a plate for each type except for Normal since Arceus is kind of a Normal-Type by default, ya know. With these plates, he can like change typings in battle whenever he wants to! It's pretty awesome!"

"At will?" Twilight raised an eyebrow. "H-How does that...does he do it instantly?"

"Obviously, you've seen it in person haven't you, Ash?" Celestia picked up an Arceus figure that was Dragon-based.

"Sure have. He can just switch up so casually too! Which is already pretty awesome!"

"Pikachu!"

"I see why he lives up to his status as the Pokemon Creator." Sunlight twirled around an Arceus necklace. "How about we personally experience those interactive attractions of Arceus?"

"They're meant to capture how Arceus created the Pokemon Universe, right? But how were they even able to record that kind of info?" Twilight wondered.

"We didn't!" An employee shouted out, replying to Twilight. "We just guessed!"

"You guessed?" Luna turned to them.

"Mhm! You see...this museum was created by us! Arceus fanatics!" She bellowed. The moment she mentioned Arceus Fanatics, multiple employees appeared behind her, flashing tons of Arceus-themed items with confetti flying all over the place as they cheered.

"Fanatics is right..." Luna's eyes widened.

"Us Arceus Fans built this entire museum based on our love for Arceus! The Alpha Pokemon! We've been fans of Arceus ever since we were all so young!"

"All of you? Did you all grow up together?" Eventide asked.

"Nope." The employee shook her head. "We just happened to come across each other when researching about Arceus!"

"That's right!" Another employee said. "You can think of this as our dream! We're so interested in Arceus that we all thought of making this place possible!"

"All these theories. Have you all even met Arceus?" Luna questioned.

"Well technically...no." The employees lowered their heads. "But one of our fellow Arceus Enthusiasts had a dream and just drew an image of what Arceus looked like. And he said that's the most likely look for Arceus." The employee pointed at the large golden Arceus statue that matched the Alpha Pokemon's actual appearance.

"As long as they're happy with what they've made." Celestia chuckled.

"And for being first-time customers, here's a free Arceus necklace!" An employee went over to Twilight, placing a necklace around her neck that fit perfectly.

"Oh, wow! Thank you so much!" Twilight thanked her. "Hey, Ash. How do I look?"

"Nice fit!" Ash gave a thumbs up.

"Pikachu!"

"Really?" Twilight blushed from it. "Well, I'm certainly keeping it now."

"Say..." An employee slid over to Celestia. "You'd make a fairly good Arceus in the play!"

"I'm sorry. Play?" Celestia turned to her.

"Mhm!" She nodded. "We're having a play later this night about Arceus and the Creation Trio. And we were looking for worthy candidates. And you definitely fit the bill to take part in it.

"Oh!" Celestia shot up. "Really?!" She was getting all giddy as she pranced on the spot. "Me being in a play?! Now that's a fantastic idea!"

While the sun princess pranced around with her Pokemon watching, Sunlight and Eventide had worried look on their faces for one specific reason.

Celestia can't act.

"Oh no." Both of them said.

"A play sounds pretty neat." Ash nodded.

"Pika."

"I get to be in a play for the first time!" Celestia bellowed before coming to a halt. "Wait. Did you say I'd make a perfect Arceus?"

"That's right! The employee replied. "You'll be the star of the show! Right in front of everyone!"

"Oh. Well...your invitation is very kind...but are you certain it's wise? I have no acting experience." Celestia shook her head.

"Don't even worry about that. For this play, we had experienced acting tutors come in. Just in case something like this happened." The employee pointed over at two tutors. "But you know, for good measure, how about we go through a test run first."

"Well...if you're sure...Then I'd be delighted to join this play!"

"Gardevoir." Passion cheered Celestia on along with Arcanine.

"Arcanine!"

"Say this line and we'll see how good you can really get." The employee cleared her throat. "Ahem. Let there be light!"

"Okay..." Celestia nodded gently. "That seems simple enough. Ahem." She also cleared her throat. "Let there be light..."

"Uh. A bit on the quiet side. Think you can bump it up a bit?" An employee asked. "Your delivery was great but the audience needs to really hear it. Especially those in the back row."

"Oh, yes, yes." Celestia chuckled nervously. "Oh, I know! My Royal Canterlot voice!"

"Your royal what now?" An employee scrunched their eyes, unaware of what was heading towards their ears as Celestia spoke with a booming voice.

"LET THERE BE LIGHT!"

Her voice made everyone stumble as some of the Arceus artifacts almost shattered because of her thunderous voice. Some even got dizzy from the noise.

"Pi-Pika..."

"O-Okay...You need lessons right away." The employee groaned. "But that loud voice of yours can come in handy maybe..."

"Hehe. Sorry." Celestia squeed as she returned her voice to normal.

---

The play surrounding Arceus would need a decent-sized cast. Celestia was going to be playing Arceus but there needed to be someone willing to play as Dialga, Palkia, Giratina.

This play was most likely not 100% accurate since no one really knows how Arceus created the Pokemon universe. But the knowledge about him doing it is there. But even so, it was just as fun to come with speculation on how it was done. Part of the reason why the Arceus Fanatics and museum exist is that they enjoy the mystery behind Arceus. That's why they're so drawn to him in the first place, despite never seeing him once.

The roles of Dialga, Palkia and Giratina had been assigned with the roles being Luna, Eventide and Sunlight. The entire family. Luckily for those three, the Creation Trio don't speak so they won't have to do much as compared to Celestia who was playing a Pokemon who can 100% speak.

But three other extra roles were just as important. The Lake Trio Guardians. Someone needed to fill in for Azelf, Mespirit and Uxie. Pikachu chose to be Azelf, Eve chose to be Mespirit and Ninetales chose Uxie. So now the roles were filled. There just had to be preparations. For starters. Outfits.

There were already outfits for the Pokemon since they were pre-made for this play. However, for the ponies, it was different. There weren't any current costumes that could fit Celestia and the others.

Sure, there may be Pokemon that stand on all fours, but the ponies of Equestria have different builds. The closest Pokemon to them are Rapidash and Ponyta. But Rapidash is much larger than anypony in Equestria and Rapidash wasn't even apart of this play.

So, the employees got to work. They took a picture of Celestia and used it as a reference to create a new Arceus costume that perfectly fit her size and stature.

Meanwhile, Celestia was taking acting lessons. The two tutors would help her out, no problem.

"Alright, Princess Celestia. It's actually simple. The most that you have to really do is speak a specific set of lines, perform specific movements and just let everything else work its magic. For example, the light of Arceus will be special effects, so don't worry about that." A tutor said.

"Oh. The light effect won't be a problem. I've got that covered." Celestia lit her horn up as a golden glow emanated out of it.

"Hm. That's convenient." A second tutor spoke as she nodded. "But maybe make it a bit brighter. Arceus's light is said to be incredibly radiant! Brighter than the sun itself!"

"Brighter than the sun itself? Alright then." Celestia bumped it up. Her horn emanated a stronger and brighter glow that was powerful enough to blind someone as everyone covered their eyes.

"T-Too bright!" The male tutor bellowed as he fell on his back.

"Oh!" Celestia scrunched her face as she stopped showcasing her magic. "Apologies..."

"Okay..." The tutor stood up. "Let's try improvisation first! Unscripted actions can sometimes be a blessing!"

"Improvisation, eh?" Celestia looked up. "Would it be alright if my Pokemon assisted me?"

"Of course!" The female tutor responded. "You can have as much help as you need!"

"Wonderful. Alright, Passion. Arcanine. Help me through this, will you?"

"Garde."

"Canine!"

While Celestia undergoes acting lessons, Twilight was about to inform her friends about the Arceus play taking place in the Resort Area by using her Xtransceiver to contact them all.

"A play?" Rarity said through the Xtransceiver screen.

"Mhm! Later this night at um...W-What time is it?" Twilight asked Cilan.

"Apparently, it's at 21:30. So fairly late." Cilan answered.

"21:30. It'd be great if you could all make it here."

"That'd be great!" Pinkie exclaimed. "But like, how far is the Resort Area?"

"Hm. Well, this place is located Northeast and um...Ash, you've been here before. What's close to the Resort Area?" Twilight asked Ash.

"Yeah and the fastest way to get there." Applejack spoke.

"Well, it's close to Veilstone City. And you can really get there quick by going through Canalave's gateway. Both cities aren't too far away from each other."

"We'll find our way there, no problem." Rainbow Dash replied. "And we'll be there in no time."

"Thanks, girls. I'll see you all here soon." Twilight turned off the Xtransceiver. "Alright, Eve. Ninetales. I'll need you to perform your Psychic moves in sync as Mespirit and Uxie, okay?"

"Espeon."

"Ninetales!"

Meanwhile, with Sunlight and Eventide, they were having a look at their soon-to-be Dialga and Palkia costumes. Eventide took on the role of Dialga while Sunlight was Palkia. Despite them have zero lines in their script, they still had to perform actions. Mostly involving time and space.

"We've seen what Dialga can do with time, but Palkia?" Eventide looked at the script. "If it uses space, how would that exactly look?"

"Well, Dialga's colour theming is blue. Palkia is...purple, right?" Sunlight said.

"Sure is." Ash nodded. "Whenever Palkia interacts with space, it's got these sweet looking purple particles. But really light purple."

"Light purple you say?" Sunlight lit her horn up, changing its usual golden colour to a light purple colour instead as tiny purple particles akin to stardust came flowing out. "How's this?"

"Pretty close!" Ash gave a thumbs up. "What about you, Luna?" Ash turned to the moon princess.

"I don't understand why this Giratina costume has to be so tight?" Luna grumbled as her Giratina costume had already been made. She tugged on the costume as her horn was sticking out from the top of the Giratina costume. "Does it even look good on me?"

"Looks fine to me," said Ash.

"Pika."

"Oh really? Well, I do look wonderful in it, don't I?" Luna enjoyed Ash's compliment to her. "So. Antimatter. What exactly does it look like? Might I ask?"

"Hm well..." Ash began thinking as he dug into his memories. From all of his experiences with Giratina, he recalled how the Antimatter energy appeared. "Oh right! It's like black and red!"

"Pikachu!"

"Black and red?" Luna lit her horn up, trying to emanate a black and red aura. But instead, she only got her usual dark blue aura. "Mmmrgh...No good."

"Let me help you, dear." Sunlight went up to her daughter, using her own magic to interact with Luna's magic. Sunlight's superior magic had temporarily transformed Luna's dark blue aura into a black and red aura, perfectly matching Giratina's Antimatter energy. "There."

"Alright!" Barry shouted as he and Cilan held out fliers that were meant to promote the play. "Time to go to work! We'll spread these out in no time!"

"Not by ourselves, of course," Cilan responded. "There's only two of us doing it after all."

"I've got ya covered, guys." Ash went up to Barry and Cilan. "We've only got a few hours until the play starts. We can clear out the Resort Area pretty quickly."

"Pika-Pikachu."

"Mind helping us out, Meloetta?" Ash asked the Melody Pokemon.

"Melo!"

"I'll help too!" Twilight teleported in front of Ash, blocking Meloetta from viewing him.

"Etta?!"

"Great. Lucario and the others are gonna pitch in. If we can get all these fliers out, then I'll still have a chance to experience the rest of the museum, ya know!"

"Pikachu!"

Everything was being put into motion. From the fliers, costumes, script, tutoring, this Arceus play would soon be in full swing by late night. While Ash and the others head out and spread fliers, Celestia's acting lessons are currently underway at a medium pace.

Because of Celestia's non-existent experience in acting, this was proving to be a challenge for the tutors who were seeing that the progress being made was a bit rough. Passion and Arcanine didn't boost it at all. They weren't actors either after all.

But they were still making progress either way. Albeit slow progress.

---

21:25

The time had come.

Many had come to see this Arceus play. From humans, ponies and Pokemon. Arceus was definitely a Pokemon that could spark interest because of the myths surrounding it. So obviously, many wanted to see this play, despite some believing Arceus isn't real.

It was a sold-out house here in the Resort Area. Those fliers were fairly effective in getting a crowd for this one specific play that may only last once.

Behind the curtains of the stage that was inside of the museum, the cast were ready. Celestia and Luna were looking through the curtains, anticipating the beginning of the play.

"Are you sure your tutoring lessons went well?" Luna asked Celestia.

"Certainly. They told me to just be myself since I'm somewhat as important as Arceus."

"Uh-huh...Let's just hope this goes. This'll be my first time acting anyway."

On the outside with the crowd, Ash, Twilight and the others were sat down next to the rest of the Mane 6 since they had managed to arrive here on time.

"Hm? Ash, darling. Where's Pikachu?" Rarity questioned.

"Oh, he's apart of the play," Ash answered. "So are Eve and Ninetales too."

"Oooh! I'll get to see Pikachu in a tiny costume then?!" Fluttershy squeed.

"Can they even act...?" Rainbow Dash scrunched her eyes.

"No need to worry," said Twilight. "This'll turn out just fine. Watch."

The play was about to begin as all the lights had been turned off. Everyone remained quiet as they were ready to see all of this unfold.

The play began with the curtains opening up as there was a black backdrop meant to represent the endless void that existed in the beginning before the Pokemon universe was made. There was a singing voice emanating from the stage. That was coming from Meloetta who was offered a role. Not only that, but Cilan was offered a role as well. As a Narrator.

"In a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness, before the Pokemon Universe even came into existence, there was absolute silence. But then, in that endless dark void, a single egg came into being."

A tiny white and gold egg appeared in the middle of the dark background as it had a mystical silver glow surrounding it. This glow was made possible by Passion who was using Dazzling Gleam to give it that glow. No one knew what Arceus's egg looked like so they just came up with their own design.

"And then, that egg hatched into Arceus. The first Pokemon in existence and the Original One."

The custom-made egg began to tremble as it completely shattered with a flash of light. Out of that light came Celestia, who had been given an Arceus costume that actually fit her. Her flowing ethereal mane had been stylized to fit the top of Arceus's head as she was given the same golden wheel around her stomach.

When Celestia emerged from the light, she got into a standing position on her hind legs as the people behind this play theorized that Arceus came out of the egg with a powerful pose such as that. Celestia was shaking up a bit as a sweatdrop fell from her face, but she had the courage to keep her composure.

"Arceus emerged in the black void of chaos and nothingness. All on his own. But that wouldn't last forever as he would then create life itself."

"Let there be light!" Celestia bellowed with a tiny bit of her Royal Canterlot Voice as her horn illuminated up with a golden shine that covered the entire stage.

"With that radiant light, Arceus created three Pokemon from his light. Dialga, Palkia and Giratina, to administer the power of Time, Space and Antimatter."

Once the light faded away, Sunlight, Eventide and Luna teleported in as the Creation Trio. The backdrop had also changed to fit space.

"Where Dialga and Palkia created the basis for the Pokemon Universe, Giratina was a fairly different story."

It was Luna's cue to start a conflict with Celestia. Since the legend goes that Giratina was banished away by Arceus, Luna would have to initiate a pretend battle with her older sister.

Conveniently, this has happened before. Celestia did end up banishing her sister and they did battle before the banishment occurred, so the roles were essentially perfect. Luna was getting a strong case of Deja Vu because of this.

Both Celestia and Luna ascended into the air with their horns glowing. Thanks to Sunlight, Luna was able to emanate antimatter in the form of black and red.

The two of them held back their magic since they didn't want to cause mass destruction in the museum. After all, this was just a pretend battle.

Luna fired a beam of black and red magic towards her older sister while Celestia fired gold magic from her horn as the two beams clashed. The stage was lit up with three different colours because of their clash.

"Giratina had a violent nature as it would cause violence frequently with Dialga and Palkia the most. Even heading into their own realms to start a conflict. Giratina, as punishment for its destructive nature, was banished by Arceus to the Distortion World."

Celestia increased the size of her beam as it had overpowered Luna's black and red beam, engulfing it and Luna as well. Luna had disappeared in a flash of light, but in truth, she just ran behind the curtains.

"Dialga and Palkia retreated to their dimensions, while Arceus continued his mission, creating three Lake Guardians. Azelf, Mespirit and Uxie."

Sunlight and Eventide flew away from each other as the cue for Pikachu, Eve and Ninetales had arrived. Ninetales looked a bit silly in the Uxie costume but he was happy nonetheless. The backdrop changed into Earth as the trio popped out of the backdrop.

"Oh...they're so cute...!" Fluttershy gushed.

"Pika-Pika." Pikachu gave the cue to Eve and Ninetales to use their Psychic abilities.

"Esp."

"Nine."

A blue psychic glow surrounded all three of them thanks to the efforts of Eve and Ninetales as they levitated themselves and Pikachu who made sure not to break character.

"Arceus then used its many life plates to create even more Legendary Pokemon. Each of these Legendary Pokemon were created to fit specific roles, much like Dialga, Palkia and Giratina. From the Earth, the Land the Sea and Sky, the Pokemon world gained more life beyond Azelf, Mespirit and Uxie."

The backdrop then changed with silhouettes of Groudon, Kyogre and Rayquaza being placed on the backdrop which also showcased, sea, land and sky. The main elements that they're known for.

The employees of the museum played a huge role in this with their own Pokemon as they used their Water, Ground and Flying-Types to create the illusion of these elements happening.

"And with the Pokemon World finally finished, the first species of Pokemon emerged from them. Mew. Which heavily populated the planet in plentiful numbers."

The artist rendition of Mew from cave paintings in the very far past had been shown across the Earth backdrop. Multiple of them to give the scale of how many Mew's existed before they became so rare.

"Oh! You see that? Mew!" Pinkie nudged Applejack.

"I can see it, Pinkie..." Applejack said.

"The Era of Creation drew to a close as Arceus went into slumber as his work had been done. Since then, the Mew population reduced as they were all evolving into new species of Pokemon, mostly the prehistoric Fossil Pokemon. The first humans also appeared around this time."

Celestia flew into the air, disappearing from the stage in a flash of light as she really just went behind the curtains, just like Luna and her parents.

The employees also had Fossil Pokemon at their disposal since they've been planning this play for years now and had to travel to many regions to even make this possible. That just goes to show how devoted they are to this.

"Unfortunately, most of these fossil Pokemon were wiped out by a meteorite and only Archen, the First Bird Pokemon and the Prototurtle and ancestor of all turtle Pokemon were left to thrive and marked the beginning for a new line of Pokemon."

The fossil Pokemon disappeared via a return to their Poke Balls.

"Centuries, millenniums had passed with many evolutions being birthed, human's settling in most of the world and worshipping several of the Legendary Pokemon, the Pokemon World continued to advance. There have been many conflicts, word-shaking events such as the battle between Groudon and Kyogre.

Millions of lights shined as to give the illusion of these conflicts that apparently lasted for centuries and decades with barely any end.

"But despite all that, the world thrived as people and Pokemon bonded together through the years, bringing us to today. And it was all thanks to Arceus for making this possible. The End."

The play had been closed off as it was relatively short. Meloetta stopped singing as the curtains came together, concealing the backdrop.

And with that finished, obvious applause filled the museum as they did thoroughly enjoy that presentation. It was wonderful seeing so much effort being put into this play throughout the love for one single Pokemon. The cast came out of the curtains for their applause as Celestia let out a wide grin. That was her first play and she did surprisingly well. All she really had to do was be herself since not many know how Arceus acts.

Twilight stood up as she was proud of her Pokemon for playing so well, even if they only had a few seconds to show themselves on stage, she was happy nonetheless.

"Aw...I wanted it to be longer?" Pinkie sighed.

"Maybe another play." Fluttershy chuckled as she kept clapping.

The play went well with little error whatsoever. It's short runtime meant that there wouldn't be any struggles. If it was an hour-long play, then there would've been a problem, no doubt about it.

---

Many were leaving the Resort Area since the play had finished.

Celestia and the others took off their costumes as they were a bit exhausted. Especially since the fifth day was coming to an end.

"Great job, all of you." Ash picked up Pikachu.

"Pikachu!"

"Thank you, Ash," Celestia replied. "Glad it went well."

"It sure did." Applejack nodded. "I had no idea Arceus was that important."

"Me neither." Fluttershy shook her head. "It's been a while but, I hope we get to meet Arceus again. I have a lot to tell him since he created all these wonderful creatures!"

"Might be a long time for you to see him again," Cilan spoke. "Arceus is the rarest of them all."

"We'll meet him again for sure." Ash tightened his gloves. "But man...I'm tired..."

"You and me both," Luna yawned. "This is the fifth day, isn't it?"

"Right. I suppose the Pokemon Festival has tired us all out. And we're still in the first week after all." Celestia looked over at the others.

"Maybe we should get some rest now. We can head back to Ponyville quickly." Twilight suggested. "How does that sound?"

"I just sent Sweetie Belle there since she was tired herself so...sure." Rarity agreed and so did the others.

"Wonder what else we'll see at the festival?" Pinkie Pie wondered. "Oooh...two whole weeks!"

"Now that we know the Pokemon Festival continues in the Pokemon World, we have more to discover and explore. I think we should visit Hoenn or Unova next. Or maybe Kalos!"

"Let's rest first before we do that," Twilight grumbled.

"Oh, right. Sorry."

The end of the 5th day was nigh. The play was enjoyable, the Arceus Museum was a treat to explore and there was a lot more to look forward to in the Pokemon Festival. Arceus himself couldn't witness this since he was in a great slumber at the moment.

But Arceus knew that they truly loved him and he loved them back as the journey continues.

Chapter 328 End.
