"Koraidon?" My loyal Pokemon asked confused as I slipped out her arms as I name dropped the lord of the distortion realm.
"My name is Rit Gina, not Lord Giratina, I'm a human." They denied quickly as they stood up.
"No no. I can tell you're not human, and I doubt you're some alien creature based on how you act. Aliens wouldn't be familiar with the human form like you are, and if they were, they'd have been here a long time, and the legendaries wouldn't allow that." I started off.
"Not to mention your eyes glowed red at times. The lingering aura I can just feel off of you, also the fact you almost said the word humans. Was quite elementary. Also the fact is you knew about Koraidon, she's not been around any human at all, so either you can talk to Pokemon, you're a psychic who can read minds, which I doubt with how these battles went, or you just have been following me for a while." I finished off and smiled at Giratina who slumped in defeat.
"Damn it." He muttered as he straightened out into his lazy posture again.
"Don't feel too bad, I'm just very good at observing the small things." I said with a smile as I rubbed Koraidon's chin as she purred.
"Very well, since you have won, I supposed I should reveal what I'm here for." Giratina said as he held out his hand and hovering above it was a… goddamn fucking plate of Arceus!
"He was right. You would recognize it. This is the Draco Plate. Lord Arceus has decided to gift it to you as a reward for completing a challenge. You were stronger then we expected you to be at this point, so well done. Eventually he will explain more to you, but for now, I suppose I will be off now that everything is done." Giratina said as he moved to leave, but I placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Nun uh." I said smiling cooly as the plate floated over my own hand that wasn't holding his shoulder.
"Nuh uh?" Giratina asked confused.
"Nuh uh." I repeated. "You're with me for the rest of my vacation. Do you ever take a vacation?" I asked and he titled his head.
"Vacation?"
"Oh my creator. Alright, it's time for you to have your first vacation. First and foremost, the Pokemon center to get our Pokemon checked up." I said smiling and Giratina just nodded.
"Ok." He said seemingly deciding to humor me.
"Wait, what do I do with this?" I asked unsure as I held the hand up with the plate floating above it. However just as I said that it turned into blue energy and flew into my hand and I could feel it stretching across my body.
My aura grew stronger and I could feel it licking underneath my skin now, its abundance clear.
"Oh that's the good stuff." I mumbled as I took a deep breath and calmed myself, and I could feel the aura receding into me, like some sort of core, perhaps my soul?
"Impressive. Not many aura users have been able to properly control their aura like that without training." Giratina noted impressed and I only shrugged, I just did it like people in shows did.
•~~~~•
So for the rest of the day I decided to do some fun stuff after we hit up the poke center and got the all clear.
First we enjoyed a nice drink at the bar and I watched as the lord of anti-matter get embarrassed due to females hitting on him.
Saved and recorded in my memory forever.
He looked like a child looking at a parent for help learning to swim. I let him drown.
He never forgave me.
Anyways, after that I took him surfing, I did it a few times in my last life, but not that much. Giratina and I both ate shit a lot, but we were having fun.
Then we enjoyed some beach drinks and relaxation in the sun.
Finally a quick stop at the grocery store to grab some supplies for a cookout.
Giratina, Zoroark and Tyrantrum really enjoyed my cooking and I was very pleased.
That night, we all watched the stars and Giratina told us stories of the past and of creation. Plus the idiotic stuff his two younger siblings got up to.
Apparently the lord and mighty creator Arceus was a good parent, but he was also a fan of having the house to himself and kicked the bums that were Dialga and Palkia out. Giratina kicked them out to when they started fighting in the distortion realm.
They kept causing too much mayhem so Arceus gave them their own realms, at least they seemed competent in doing their job.
Honestly, I'm starting to see patterns.
Giratina - Rayquaza
Groudon - Dialga
Kyogre - Palkia
One older brother just trying to do his job. Two younger siblings always fighting and preventing him from doing his job so he has to put them in their place.
Totally not familiar…
Giratina should get a raise.
How does one go about giving the renegade Pokemon a bonus though? One extra get out of destruction free card? Less work?
Less work!
Ding
Oh, meal preps done.
Time to pack it up and get ready. Tomorrow was the last day we would be spending in the seafoam islands.
Also the cabin was due again tomorrow at noon.

Opening my eyes I blinked as I looked around and found myself standing in… spear pillar? The run down version. Man, Arcues gotta higher a cleaner for his temple, place looking abandoned. Kinda caught lacking Arceus.
"Welcome to my home, Raven Inanis. I bid thee a greeting."
Oop, maybe I was caught lacking… Arceus was floating majestically in the sky. Oh well, shits been said, can't take it back now.
"Sup, thanks for the greeting." I raised a hand in greeting. Arceus blinked before he landed on the ground and his red eyes locked onto my eyes.
Blue on Red.
Majestic motherfucker not needing to blink.
"Welcome to my realm. I hope your adventures have been fun." Arceus said, the deity voice gone, so he must be a chill dude, at least right now.
"It's been extremely fun. I have to thank John whatever favor he did for you to allow this. I love my Pokemon. The bonds we have. It's great." I said as I started rattling about my Pokemon.
Three hours passed like this with me rattling without realizing it.
"He was right. You are very well informed of my creations. Many of your theories have a good basis on them. Not all of them, but many of them yes. Especially your theories on mega evolution as you call it." Arceus said with what I think was a smile.
"Which one? Condensed infinite energy containing a portion of temporal energy fused to it. The fusion of Time, Space, Anti-Matter and Infinity Energy one. The power of Rebirth and Infinity Energy fused." I listed off my top three theories on mega evolution.
"A mix of all of those. Infinite Energy combined with the power of Rebirth allows for the birth of a new form without degradation and other side effects. Time and Space work in unison to traverse time and space to allow for a proper living version of a future that a Pokemon takes the form of. Anti-Matter binds its together and prevents it from going out of control. However the unstable energy of Anti-Matter causes it to become wonky and without a proper bond to hold it in place, a Pokemon will rampage and lose all control of itself." Arches explained and I nearly squealed.
This changes so many things, so many theories I had for a long time.
"Amazing. However no matter how much I'm internally fanboying over meeting you, I feel like you did have a purpose for calling me here, wherever here is." I said, and I knew I wasn't truly at Spear Pillar, it just didn't have the right feel to it.
"Very well, Giratina has given you the Draco Plate. Dragons are pure life energy, so your life force has been boosted, this resulted in a boost to your aura. The mere members it had been, stroked into a mighty bonfire." Arceus said and I nodded in agreement as I held my hand up and the plate formed.
It was something I figured out how to do.
"Yeah, not that I'm ungrateful, but why did you give me a damn plate of yours for!?" I asked confused and Arceus hummed.
"I felt a bond between my plates and you. Perhaps one day I'll understand why that is, but they demand challenge before you can claim them. The Draco Plate demanded overwhelming battle." Arcues said and I hummed.
"That's cool, but doesn't explain why you're giving me the plates. Aren't they linked to your power? Your tools of creation?" I asked unsure fully. After all, he lost his plates and almost died.
"Yes, they are, however something astonishing happened. They exponentially grew in power suddenly, exactly double its power. Then they split into duplicates. Each having the same amount of power. It's quite vexing, but then I realized, the original was intervening, I sensed satisfaction from our bond." Arceus said and in my mind the white blob with red eyes known as Beta Arceus flashed.
"However as they are still my plates, even if duplicated, I possess a link to them. So I shall at times be, as you humans say, dropping in. Have fun on your journey Raven Inanis, I look forward to hearing more of your theories." Arceus said before the entire area glowed brightly and I found myself waking up in the morning.
Didn't even let me say goodbye.
Giratina was right, he's an annoying dickhead.
•~~~~•~~~~•~~~~•
An done! I hope you all enjoyed the chapter today, it was an interesting time writing it.
I especially enjoyed the writing of Giratina, he will for sure be a recurring character.
[Arceus/Spear Pillar]
[MC] - Because I realized I never actually dropped a description of the MC. It's not fully important to the story, but I thought I'd drop it for you all.
