The entire world was gone. The humans were extinct, the legendary Pokémon were exiled, and the remaining Pokémon were slaughtered. Mountains and valleys were flattened and filled, volcanoes were extinguished, and plant life was destroyed. This vast wasteland was inhabited by two creatures. Mewtwo- Earths failed protector, and Arceus- an unstoppable imperial force. The world Mewtwo had once loved and protected was gone. Having no further purpose in life, Mewtwo gave up, and entered a coma-like state, where he was nothing more than a statue. Mewtwo was thrown into deep space by Arceus, as a claiming act on his new land.
Arceus’ first act was to re-populate the world with both humans and Pokémon with his own narcissistic twist. Every living creature worshiped him as a God, and Mewtwo as a demon. Next, Arceus hunted down each of the exiled legendary Pokémon, and used his powers to control each of their thoughts and actions, turning them into his own mindless slaves. The world remained in this state for five thousand years.

“Hey! What’s this thing?”
“What is what honey?”
“Quick Mom quick come here!”
“Yes dea-WHAT THE HELL IS THAT! ZACHARY GET AWAY FROM IT NOW! RUN INSIDE RIGHT NOW!”
“M..m..mommie Im scared”
“Run inside right now and lock the door behind you. Go right now and call the police right away. I love you Zachy please go now”
“But mommy I don’t wan”
“RIGHT NOW”
I awoke with no idea where I was. I quickly noticed that my left leg was severely injured and I was in no condition to move. I needed medical help as soon as I could possibly get it. My vision slowly came back to me as I opened my eyes to the bright outside. What I saw was no comfort. A tall, red and blue creature with four long tentacle like arms, long legs, and a strange purple sphere in its chest was standing over and observing me.
“Who are you,” I asked in a scared tone as I quickly scurried away. As I moved, I severely irritated my leg and I screamed in intense pain.
“BACK OFF IM WARNING YOU!” The creature screamed.
“I come with no malicious intent” I said as calmly as I could, trying to defuse the situation.
“Shut up and stay away! I’m warning you! The authorities are on their way to take care of you,” It screamed.
“Please I need medical attention for my le” was all I was able to spit out before I was slapped across the face with a powerful tentacle, knocking me out.
I woke up floating in a small glass tube filled with a strange fluid. I felt no more pain in my leg, and in fact I couldn’t feel any of my body. I saw three creatures that looked just like the creature I saw before. One turned, noticed I was awake, and hit a button on a panel. The glass that was encasing me disappeared, and the fluid was drained through a drain on the floor. The three walked over and surrounded me. Suddenly, their figures instantly changed into a bulky, arch-like form.
“Don’t move,” One of them said.
“Who are you? Where am I?” I questioned.
“This is Nukleova, the home of our people, the Deoxys, “one replied.
“I...I need to go back to my planet…I failed them and they need me”
“No. Right now you need to rest and regain your strength”
“I have no time I need to leave as soon as possib,” was all I was able to say as a loud crash sent shockwaves through the laboratory.
“What the hell was that?” I asked. The three looked at each other, and one grabbed me.
“What are you doing to me?” I asked as it placed me back into the glass tube.
“We’re under attack,” was all I was told before the three flew away.
***
My entire world was gone. I was a coward and watched as my friends, my brothers were slain in battle. Every man, woman, and child were mercilessly slaughtered by a massive green dragon with unmatchable power. I hid as I watched my people fall. Could I have been the difference in the battle? This regret will certainly live with me for the rest of my life, my meaningless life. I began to wonder what would drive such a powerful creature to wipe out a population. It took no resources, no technology, and no women. Suddenly a thought popped into my head. Ramon was telling me about how he had found a strange being and had brought it in for testing. The dragon may have been searching for its master. He had doomed my people.
***
After what seemed like hours I saw another Deoxys going over to the panel with the button that released me from the glass. This one, however, was different. It was yellow and green instead of red and blue like the previous three had been. He hit the button, and released me. I went to thank him and ask what was going on, but before I could finish, it raised all four of its tentacles, and they began to glow a bright yellow. He began to rapidly punch me with all of them, sending electrical currents throughout my body, until I fell.
“What are you doing? I mean no harm,” I said as I got up.
“I’ll slowly kill you, and as you suffer, just as all of my people suffered,” it screeched, as it continued to punch me. I fell again in pain, but this time, I sent an incredibly powerful blast of psychic energy from my hand, knocking down the creature and breaking much of the laboratory equipment.
“LISTEN TO ME,” I bellowed.
“Alright, please, just don’t hurt me”
“I’m not going to”
“Then why did you send your dragon to kill my people”
“My dragon?” I asked.
“You killed all of my people”
“What?”
“They are all dead…BECAUSE OF YOU,” It screamed. It tried to get up, but winced in pain and fell again.
“I can assure you, I own no dragon and I’m very sorry for your people,” I said. Suddenly, I began to think…Rayquaza.
“Was this dragon green? With no legs and small arms?”
“So it was yours!”
“No. He was an old friend. But I have reason to assume he is being manipulated by a powerful enemy. We need to return to my planet and fast. Arceus is on a warpath. He will destroy the entire universe for his own power.”
“Who is Arceus? Why is he doing this?” It asked.
“Arceus is a powerful Pokémon that singlehandedly defeated the most powerful Pokémon from my planet. Obviously if he came after your planet he is not satisfied with ruling only one. I’m assuming he will have all the legendary Pokémon from my planet protecting him. Surely Rayquaza will be guarding the atmosphere for foreign threats so we need a way to get back faster than he will.”
“We have created a teleporter…but it hasn’t been tested yet”
“We need to use it”
“The possible side effects are unknown”
“I’m not asking you, I’m telling you. Where is it?” I said, threateningly raising my arm, charged with psychic power.
“Fine. Its right over here he said, and walked over to a machine.
“What galaxy?
“Milky Way”
“I’ve discovered your Sun. How many planets away?”
“Third from the sun. So um…do you have a name?” I asked.
“Yea. King Fel…No. Just Felix,” he replied. After a few moments, a purple portal was projected from the machine.
“If this works, we will not be able to pick where we end up on your planet”
“Fine. We need to hurry, let’s go,” I said, grabbing him, and pulling him through the portal with me.

“Lord Arceus, I feel him on my land.”
“Good. Capture him”
“Yes, my lord.”
***
I opened my eyes to the southing, familiar sights of Earth. I was standing at the base of a mountain, and suddenly, Felix appeared next to me.
“Felix we did it. We made it”
“Yes we did but now we need to find and defeat Arceus.” Suddenly, the ground beneath us disappeared, and we fell hundreds of feet before being caught by the ground again. Before we could fly up, the opening was quickly covered by more ground. We turned around, and saw all of the legendary Pokémon waiting for us.
“We will never be able to defeat all of them, especially Arceus” I said.
“You won’t have to. Kill him for me. My people.” Before I could respond Felix’s figure morphed. His legs became longer and skinnier, and two of his arms disappeared. A long, skinny fin protruded from the back of his head.
“Hey idiots, come get me!” He screamed before taking off through a tunnel at a super speed. All the legendaries, besides Groudon, Regigigas, and Arceus, followed him. Having nothing with his henchmen, I raised my hands and blasted two powerful focus blasts at the two Pokémon, sending them back into the wall of the cave.
“Ahh Mewtwo. The failed protector. Ready to lose to me by force this time?” Arceus activated its dread plate from his collection of plates stored on the structure connected to Arceus’ back and abdomen. Arceus sent out a flash, illuminating the cave, and temporarily blinding me. When my vision was restored, Arceus had vanished into the darkness. I readied my fists, with a frosty current running through them, and slowly spun around, ready to be attacked. Out of nowhere, Arceus blasted a powerful hyper beam into my back. I recovered quickly, and launched a thunderbolt from my hand, landing a direct hit on Arceus. We simultaneously sent out flamethrowers, and we both drained much of our energy trying to one-up the other, to no avail. My power gave out, and I was drained. Arceus, sensing my weakness, blasted a kill shot attempt in the form of a hyper beam. I was able to dodge the main blast, but the powerful beam grazed my shoulder. I fell to my knees, nearly defeated.
“Ready for your final judgment?” Arceus asked before his eyes turned black. He stared into my eyes, and they turned black as well.
We both entered a space like realm. Arceus floated in one corner, me in another. Arceus’ eyes grew darker, as did the arena. I dug deep into my mind, remembering all the people and Pokémon Arceus destroyed, as well as Felix and his people. Suddenly, I began to fight back and my eyes turned blue. Slowly but surely, the darkness was expelled, and replaced with a blue light, until the entire arena was glowing blue. My eyes opened even wider, and Arceus exploded.
After the battle, I was returned to the real world, and Felix and the legendary Pokémon were there waiting for me.
“I heard a loud noise, and ran in to see if you needed help. When I made it here, I was cornered by the legendary Pokémon. Right when it seemed I was done, they regained control of themselves,” Felix said.
“Where’s Arceus?” Lugia asked.
“I defeated him. He’s gone,” I said, and everyone rejoiced.
We all returned to the surface, but what we noticed was awful. All the Pokémon and humans were dead.
“This is truly awful. It must have been Arceus’ final evil act,” Regirock said.
“This cannot be the end of Pokémon and humanity. This was our war to fight, and they were caught in the crosshairs. I think we can all agree that it is our duty to them to give them their own world, where they can thrive and live together with Pokémon without our problems bringing them down,” Uxie said.
“Can such a thing be done, Uxie?” I asked.
“Yes, but it will come at a great cost, our lives,” Uxie said.
“We will do what it takes,” I responded.
“Alright. I’ll need Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina,” Uxie said. The trio stepped up, and Uxie drained their powers, and in turn their life. Palkia’s power created space for this new world, Dialga’s power allowed time to flow there, and Giratina’s power created a reverse world, to stabilize the new world. The same thing happened with each of the other legendaries. Kyogre and Groudon created the Earth and sea. Mew allowed life to live and thrive on this new Earth. Manaphy graced the sea with life, and Shaymin did the same with the ground. Rayquaza gave the world an atmosphere, and Ho-Oh created a sun. Articuno, Zapdos, and Lugia brought snow, lightning, and rain, while Moltres brought fire. Regirock brought rocks, Regice created ice, and Registeel created metals. Regigigas created mountains, and Heatran created volcanoes. Cresselia and Darkrai brought dreams, and in turn nightmares. Celebi created plant life. Latias and Latios created gender, male and female. Raikou, Entei, and Suicune brought finesse, power, and elegance. Mesprit, Azelf, and Jirachi brought emotion, willpower, and hope.
“Well… looks like we are done,” Uxie said.
“No. I want to donate individuality,” Felix said.
“Ok, then,” Uxie said.
“I’ll give leadership,” I added. Uxie drained our powers, and put them into the world, ending our lives, our legacies.
***
Uxie looked at the world, acknowledging all who made the greatest sacrifice for this world and the humans and Pokemon who will inhabit it.
“Eolas” Uxie said before donating its own power, knowledge.
