An Adult In Pokemon

Ori continued to make light fun of her. Much to Fennekin"s delight. The little fox Pokemon no longer wanted to stay in her pokeball much anymore. She also kept jumping onto Gray"s head and talking with Empress. Albeit telepathically of course. The little Zorua stood out with Sabrina as well. Constantly watching the area excitied. A white ribbon was tied in her hair. Something Sabrina picked up from her house.

"Stop smiling Gray." Sabrina said with a little pout. She was upset at how well Gray got along with her father. Even more so when they found Sabrina"s old doll house. "You cant tell anyone about it."

"Haa, Sabrina.." Gray paused to look at her over his shoulder. They just stepped onto the Quarter Deck of the ship. ".. I already said it is not something to be embarra.s.sed about. A lot of collectors have stuff like that. I even had a model collection back when I was younger."

"But still." Sabrina looked down at Zorua. The pokemon just smiled ad licked her face. Gray and her father marveled at her playhouse a little to much. "Just keep quiet about it."

"Ok." Gray said. He walked over to a crewman and asked for the location of a Dr.Clock. Showing his digital information on his pokegear, Gray was given the location as well as a key card access to enter the V.I.P. area. It was little more secretive than what he was led to believe. "Oi, Sabrina this way."

"Right." Sabrina smiled and followed along. Fennekin"s ears twitched on top of Gray when they turned the corner. She picked up some weird sounds that were then relayed to the others via telepathy. "Oh that does sound weird. Anyway time to rest both of you." Sabrina returned both of them to their pokeball"s.

"Hmm think it will get serious quickly or slowly?" Gray asked Sabrina as they made down the halls. A lot of halls that made his head hurt. The two stopped at a steel door as Gray punched his code in. "If this turns out to be nothing, I am giving my contact a bad response."

"Haha." Sabrina chuckled a little. "I rather it was simple, that way we can get started on the other tasks you have."

"Dong, dong, dong." The elevator chimed as they moved. It was slowly making a few stops when the ship pulled out of port. Several safeguards to make sure nothing happen in transport. "Ding!" The door opened to a lavish room. Inside were several cases with Pokemon fossils inside.

"Oh wow." Sabrina said. She was glued to a particular fossil that looked to be a giant bird Pokemon. Gray kept walking and let her look around. "Is this a human or a pokemon?!" She scanned her pokegear over to record the information as well as commiting it to memory. For safety, she let out her Espeon to guard over her.

"Dr.Clock!" Gray called out. He did not want to spend to much time waiting. He already told the man he was on his way an hour ago. This was getting a tad bit rude. "Tch!" Gray outstretched his hand sending a psychic wave of energy through the place. He noticed a slight aura suppression from several points in the walls.

"Bing!" A resounding noise echoed back to him. Someone was in the back, in the bathroom it felt like. Gray walked over and knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock!" No sound came back.

"I know someone is in there. Come out already." Gray said.

"Chck!" The door opened. Out walked a short little man. Gray had know idea who he was, since a towel was wrapped around most of the little man"s face.

"Sorry about that. The showers here are just amazing. I couldnt pull myself away. You must be Gray?" The doc outstretched his arm, but Gray did not shake.

"You are still wet so no. I take it things are not as serious as I was told." Gray took a few steps back and leaned against the wall. "Haaa, a lot of rushing for nothing I suppose."

"Not at all. Things are serious. In fact, I wish Oak would have sent more Elite Trainers. Alas, things are problematic all over the Pokemon World I am afraid. Even a few Dungeons are causing trouble." The doc went to put his clothes on, talking the entire time. "On the table is a bag, open it and see what you think. Tell me anything you know about them. Even guesses."

"Hmm ok." Gray looked at the table and used his psychic powers to open the bag and pull out the contents. He was already back in the habit of training and wanted his psychic powers to increase more. "These tablets..." A few bubbles appeared

(Unaboidable Mission: Acquire Plate"s at all cost.)

There were three tablets floating before him. Each with an element symbol on it. They were effectively plate"s. Plates made from Arceus. What the doc was doing with this, Gray had know idea.

(Sealed Plate x3 Contains Aura of the Pretender Arceus & ????)

"I found them on a dig a few years ago. As a hobby, I started to collect them after I found they can increase a pokemon"s power. If it matches the type anyway." Dr.Clock said. "But it only works on powerful pokemon that can confer blessings."

"Yeah... that"s about right. So what do you want me to do with them?" Gray flipped them over with a wave of his finger. On the backside written in the Unknown Pokemon language, where names. Names of those who fought in the war against Arceus. "Tch, cannot have that Pretender gain these back or his minions."

"Professor Oak wanted me to give them to you for safekeeping," Dr.Clock said coming dressed in his clothing and lab coat. "I want to know what they are myself and have them translated. Then they are yours. It has been difficult to find anyone to translate them. Oak said you could."

"Hmm, he is right. But it would put you in danger. You do realize this?" Gray said seriously. Doc gave him a nod, so he placed the plates down back on the table. Releasing his psychic energy and aura to create a barrier, Gray started to tell him about the Pokemon battle 10 years ago. However, he told him about was not covered in history and why it was going on. Dr.Clock expression turned to rage from the hidden information and the details revealed. "Any questions?"

"Haaaaa, this is dangerous information." Doc sighed as he leaned in the chair. "So Arecus.. is a threat and whishes to place himself as the true G.o.d of things. That is not what was told 10 years ago. In fact, Giratina was the one that caused trouble everywhere with its followers. Why does the Pokemon League not disband its followers? They have gathered groups all over."

"Influence from the right families. Arcecus did wait a long time to do anything." Gray spoke somberely. "There is a reason the Elite League was formed. Besides just training those to fight against the crazed Pokemon and Organizations that litter the planet. If you have not noticed, trainers are not all cracked up to fight the danger. Thhe military has its hands full with the Pokemon Dungeons."

"Haa Influence..." Dr.Clock sighed in his seat. "I remember when I turned 12 and went on my journey. Things were a lot simpler then. A lot less dangerous. But Pokemon have grown stronger and smarter. Even more since Giratina and Arceus fought."

"Giratina"s job, was to stop Arceus" influence. It has been corrupting people and changing the way they act. Removing "free will" of those who do not obey." Gray thought the best course would be to remove the League. But the League had to many champions and respect everywhere. His hands gripped tight in agitation. "Stupid humans are going to ruin everything!" The thought was filled with hatred. A pulse from the Blessing of Latios & Latias calmed him down. "Need to stay focused."

"Is that so wrong?" Dr.Clock asked. "A lot of violence has spread since the Cataclysm. Even before it, people and Pokemon were doing horrific things. All across the world people prayed for help. Arceus answered that call and help organized things."

"No. it forced them to comply with its doctrine. It is also slowly replacing the people and Pokemon with itself. If left unchecked, all that is left will be Arceus and its will." Gray looked at the man for any issues. His body language just showed he was tired and stressed out. Gray continued to speak after a while. "If you could no longer study and do things you like, what would be the point? No longer able to eat what you want. Or do what you want. Nothing but what Arceus says. There will be no point in you living."

"Hmm, but no pain either. No violence." Dr.Clock said.

"No joy or peace either." Gray said. "Only its will."

"How do you figure?"

"If you have no goals and no choice, you are just existing. Arceus does not need to breed or allow humans and Pokemon to breed anymore either. Once everything is done and the "aura" has been taken from everyone, it will consume everything and leave to new World"s." Gray said somberly. Images of the devastation the creature would leave behind plague his thoughts. "It is powerful, but weakened for now."

"Than why would Origin allow this?"

"The creature was a mistake. A by-product of a war somewhere else. The result of a "test" to put in common terms." Gray shook his head trying to decide what should and should not be said. He needed the plates to get rid of them. As well as do it legally to prevent trouble from arising. Also the man was innocent, he could not kill him. Unless he was an agent of Arceus, then all bets were off. "It is not your G.o.d. Just an instrument of it."

"Then who is!?" The man looked to be agitated. "Who do we blame for this suffering then!?"

"Woosh!" Sabrina teleported into the room. Ori floated out of her and turned into Mew. Her aura encircled the man giving him a small comfort of peace.

"You can blame me if you like." Ori thought to the man. Her voice sounding pained as she thought to him. "I am the one who created you all in the Kanto region. And my other half creating the Johto region. I failed in educating your ancestors and removing Arceus from existence when it arrived."

Gray froze at the revelation but let it pa.s.s. Ori was not a fighter. Even with Sabrina fusing with it and helping in the past, the Pokemon was to peaceful. The same for Chroma the Celebi. She liked to play tricks however and run around. Shaking his head, Gray left it alone to deal with later. Mew was always the peaceful type of Pokemon in the show and comic. Never really see it murder anyone.

Ori saw from the corner of her eyes what Gray did. She knew it was something more for later. If she knew what Arceus was all those centuries ago, she would have at least confined it or weakened it. But she was not privy to that information when she arrived. It was supposed to be a peaceful place, not part of another test. A place that was given to her by G.o.d and Fiel.

"Then the other regions? Why create them instead of one big landma.s.s."

"I created just enough to go through things. Enjoying the first Pokemon along side a few friends. As time went on, the aura in the air along with the every increasing Pokemon population and human advancement, gave birth to new things. As well as War itself." Ori floated around the man for a bit. "It is not in my "design" to stop life. It goes against everything I believe in."

"So we suffer because of it?" The professor turned angry.

"Come off it. People can choose not to kill or do the horrible acts you claim. They just choose not to. They choose to do so and obey Arceus." Gray added. "But they do not resist. Whether it is for their own dreams and desires is still to be seen. Arceus wishes to tell everything and appoint itself as G.o.d. What do you think will happen to the people who do not agree to conform? Those who do not wish to listen?"

"War." Dr.Clock answered with one word. "Haah one like a years ago. Man v.s. Pokemon. But wait.. What about the Pokemon that fought against it?"

"it will be there. Hopefully it gains enough strength before Arceus does." Gray said plainly. He would not tell the man he was that Giratina. That would lead to all sorts of problems. "A few others are doing what they can. The Elite League was designed for this afterall."

"Very well then." The professor reached into another bag by the table. He pulled out a device that reminded Gray of bunny ears for a tv. "This will help in finding "auracite" deposits. Still in the prototype phase." He looked at Ori and didnt know what to say. Shaking his head in disappointment, he let it go. "To much to say really."

"Toot, toot!" The horn went off on the ship. They had reached the first stopping point while Gray and company talked. A few hours that felt like days.

"Come on Gray, first checkpoint." Sabrina said while grabbing him. She was determined to get him away from the Professor. She felt Gray was changing the more they talked. Ori disappeared next to her. "Later professor."

"Uh huh. Just make sure you make it back in two days. That is when the ship leaves again." Seeing them out, the professor walked to the bedroom and pulled out a briefcase. "I still have this just in case."

"Chk!" He opened up to reveal some scales and a golden handle. The scales belonged to Giratina and the golden handle was a part of Arceus horn. The aura dampeners concealed everything in the room to the outside. "Tuk!" Closing it shut, Dr.Clock relaxed on the bed.

"Arceus.. or.. Giratina.. who to really help? Is what that boy said true. Only time will tell." Dr.Clock power up his computer. Images of several Elite Trainers battling across the world played. "Haaa Oak needs to hurry with deciding his champions."

-In a lab in the Johto region-

"Are you sure about this Professor?" A young man asked holding onto a glove. He had his cap turned backward and had shorts on. His shirt was to the side revealing his body to the light. Several Blessings aligned his backside. "This seems dangerous."

"It will be ok Gold." Professor Oak said. "I think you have it in you to handle it the power." He thought of all the testing of weaker trainers and the few failures. "Are you sure about this MewTwo?" The pokemon responded with its thoughts from within.

"Yes. The one called Ash had to soft a heart. He will make a fine defender. But we need an attacker. Better he joins us before the Pokemon League takes him."

"Here goes nothing. You can do this Gold!" The young man psyched himself up. reaching towards the light he disappeared wrapped in aura energy. "Ahhhh!" A scream was the last thing heard.

"Please succeed Gold. Pa.s.s the dungeon that Gary could not." Professor Oak would lament later at his decision. For his grandson was no longer there.
