Laverre, a city known for its enigmatic and sometimes... supernatural proportions, for example, the mysterious tree which the Gym is based on, and the strange tower clock. On the other hand, it also contains the influences of modernisation from Lumiose, in this case, the Poke Ball Factory which is located next to the city. The city not only houses one of the most well-known Fairy specialists in Kalos, Valerie, but also the current residence of Kalos' cutest Ghost specialist, Mixia.
Night had fallen onto Laverre, and moonlight shined upon the city like a Cresselia casting a Lunar Dance. Usually, like all other areas throughout Kalos, the moonlight in Laverre is usually dim, but as the moonlight shone brightly, it hinted something peculiar, or something catastrophic, is coming into Laverre.
Behind the dense forests, lies a mysterious 'figure', watching over the city. Apparently this 'figure' has a peculiar appearance due to it having deer-like antlers, with protrusions each displaying an assortment of colours on each horn.
"A catastrophe is going to be unleashed throughout this region, starting from this human settlement. I must settle in the outskirts of the settlement. I can feel the Aspect of Destruction growing stronger, but the Aspect of Order has awakened as well, gathering every source of energy it contained, scattered throughout the region. But I have not; the spirits must be awakened."
Days have passed since this 'figure' has settled in the dense forests outside Laverre. No sign of a cataclysm has taken place yet. But judging from the 'figure's words, it could hint that the legendary Pokemon of Kalos, the Aspects of Mortality, would return in the dawn of the mythical psionic Sprites descending onto Kalos... But so far, only Celebi and Jirachi descended, and the other two Sprites remain a mystery.
Then on this day, cataclysm was unleashed.
It was another ordinary afternoon in Laverre. Near to the entrance to Laverre, a young boy, about the age of his preadolescence years, teleported onto there with his psionic powers. He was carrying a black messenger bag, clad in a white shirt he bought from the city's boutique, along with black chinos, a pair of white sneakers, and wearing a black-coloured cap fitted with white sunglasses. A Pokemon, which appearance resembles a mage wearing a white garb, appeared with him, possibly the one that help its trainer to teleport.
"Sorcerise, stay here. This is going to take a while." said the boy.
"Careful, Wizzy. I can sense Ghosts patrolling in some parts of the city. By 'a while' you mean you're going to lose your focus to the girl, won't you?" said the Gardevoir, Sorcerise.
"Fine, you can change your mind to look for me if you want to." said Wizzy. He then ran off, entering Laverre.
"Sometimes I wonder what's with this boy." Sorcerise thought.
The Gardevoir sensed a feeling of uncertainty. She then closed her eyes, trying to see what the future will hold. At the same time, she could feel a mysterious aura, made from Fairy power and mixed with the presence of incorporeal beings coming from the Spirit World, from phantoms, to banshees, and wraiths... anything that's 'Ghost' in nature.
"This Aura... greatly boost my polarity powers... But if it is spectral in nature, why am I also affected..? Perhaps it has got to do with, something that possess the same element as me." thought Sorcerise, possibly reflecting on its Fairy-typing, "No, I must concentrate what the future holds."
The Gardevoir then found herself in a war between three figures. One, in a shape of a deer with antlers that of the mysterious 'figure', with a light blue and white colouration, another, an avian monster which resembles the letter Y, with a red and white colouration, which heart unleashes a devastating beam of white energy, sapping the life of those who touch it. Finally, a gigantic figure, whose power exceeds both of the warring figures, capable of unleashing streaks of black and white energy to the sky and falling onto the ground, and unleashing waves of the same energy that unleashes unspeakable damage.
"Soon, we'll have to fight in the shade... and we'll not survive this catastrophe, but I'll remember the words that are stitched into every of my species:
I will not die until I achieve something. Even though the ideal is high, I never give in. Therefore, I never die with regrets.
But in her vision of an alternative reality, two figures, each representing light and darkness, in white and black respectively, stand up against the Y-shaped monster and defeat it by unleashing the same energy that the gigantic figure contained, then used that energy to defeat the gigantic figure too, restoring the balance of Life to the world.
"These 'heroes'? Couldn't they be the heroes of truth and ideals? Impossible, and there's no reincarnation of such heroes today yet. But Reshiram and Zekrom, the Aspects of Truth and Ideals respectively, can defeat those figures, but I'm not sure about the gigantic figure... it looked too powerful. Worse, the real two Dragons haven't arrived at Kalos yet." Sorcerise thought again.
Sorcerise opened her eyes, and noticed various Ghost-type Pokemon surrounding the Embrace Pokemon, mostly the unevolved ones. They were not aggressive though, only to wonder what the Gardevoir's thinking.
"Don't interrupt my meditation, you freaks!" Sorcerise unleashed a flash of white light at the Ghosts, possibly a Dazzling Gleam, and the light knocked out the unevolved Ghosts, primarily Gastly, Shuppet, Duskull, Drifloon, Pumpkaboo and Yamask. Only a few survived, which is a Misdreavus with an Eviolite, a witch-like Ghost, Mismagius, and a Pokemon consisting a two swords, Doublade.
The Ghosts were provoked into battle, and the Doublade unleashed a Shadow Sneak onto the Gardevoir. But that was stopped by the Mismagius' Shadow Ball.
"Mismagius-magius!" the Magical Pokemon scolded, possibly because the Doublade did not use its Wide Guard technique.
"They were not organised. I must take advantage and make my escape." Sorcerise thought, and teleported right past the Ghosts. The chase then begun.
Before that happened, a young girl, whom is a couple of years younger than Wizzy, was harvesting flowers in her garden outside her personal cottage, with the aid of a floral, humanoid-esque Pokemon, Florges, and a couple of fairy creatures that reside in the flowers, Flabebe, holding white and orange flowers respectively. Two stump-like phantasms, Phantump, each of a different colour, also watched.
"I suppose that's for today's harvest," said the girl as she finished harvesting, "And thanks for your assistance on keeping my garden, Bloom and Leafia. Oh, and so do you, Florges."
She then entered her cottage's kitchen, preparing a plate and filled it with water. She hand-picked the blue-coloured flowers she harvested and put them on the plate, leaving the flowers to dry under sunlight.
"Help me keep watch of the flowers. I'm going out for a while." she said.
"Uhh, hello, is Mixia here? If you're inside, please tell your Ghosts not to attack me!" a voice came from outside.
"Wizzy? What is he doing outside my house?" the girl thought. She then left her cottage and glanced over the cottage fence, and noticed the boy that called her.
"Uhm, can I come in, Mixia?" asked Wizzy.
"Yes, you may, but look out for some of my Ghost-types being sensitive to your powers." Mixia replied.
"What Ghosts? Such as..."
A shadowy face with a sinister grin formed in front of Wizzy, and starting to take shape as it appeared as a monster of nightmares. A Gengar appeared, scaring of any trespassers that enter its trainer's house. Wizzy stared at the Shadow Pokemon with a horrified expression.
"Spiritas, stop. He's not going to do anything to you, nor to me." commanded Mixia.
A Phantump with a brown coloration flew out of the cottage window towards the girl.
"Wispy, the flowers are dried? Whoa, that didn't take that long." she commented, and then went back to her cottage to prepare some kind of floral tea that's made from the flowers she harvested.
"Uh, what is she up to?" asked Wizzy towards the Gengar.
While a Gengar always seem as it likes to smile at someone's agony and fright, or just plain happy, in their minds they have expressions that couldn't show due to their appearance. Spiritas, in it's case, was trying to observe Wizzy's psionic energies, possibly looking for his dark energy.
"Y-y-you want the black one?" said Wizzy timidly as his right hand conjured up a black orb, and giving the orb to the Gengar, "H-h-here you go."
Spiritas observed the orb carefully, even though it looked like it is glad to receive a part of the psychic's "essence". It conjured up a Shadow Ball, and fused it with the orb. The orb absorbed the Shadow Ball, suggesting the Gengar's energy is as dark as Wizzy's dark energy.
"My power can destroy a Shadow Ball? Curious..." Wizzy thought.
Back in the cottage, three candle-shaped Pokemon, Litwick, stood under a kettle full of water being held by a one-eyed spectral creature, Dusclops, possibly to boil the water. Mixia went back into the cottage to put the dried leaves into a white teapot that she uses for teatime.
"You guys know how to cooperate, don't you?" said Mixia as she picked up the kettle to pour the boiled water into the teacup, "You might suffer from a burn after holding that thing for too long, Bonesey. Use Rest."
The Dusclops followed its trainer's orders, its large single red eye fades as its body becomes inactive despite being incorporeal in that state. When the teapot is full, Mixia steeped the water to turn it to blue from the dried flowers' pigment.
Outside the cottage, Spiritas was still investigating the black orb Wizzy created. A Pokemon that resembles the snow spirit, Froslass, flew over to the Gengar, trying to see what it is up too.
"Gar. Gengar-Gen." Spiritas handed over the black orb to the Froslass. The black orb exploded as the Snow Land Pokemon made contact with it, and it became startled as it was sensitive to the black energy.
"Kokimenoki?! Yuki-menomeyuki! Froslass!" the Snow Land Pokemon screeched in anger.
"Is this Froslass speaking gibberish?" thought Wizzy.
"Gengar-gar-gar." Spiritas stating of its unawareness of the black energy's sensitivity.
"The energies oppose each other, therefore the orb exploded." said Wizzy as he conjures up a white orb, "This should be harmless to you."
The Froslass received the white orb, apparently this time, it did not exploded. Spiritas then made its spectral body glow, apparently to be casting Dazzling Gleam, and the light emitted from the Gengar is absorbed into the white orb. When the Shadow Pokemon tried to touch the white orb, it exploded, this time harming the Gengar.
"Not a Mirror Coat! I swear that wasn't one!" said Wizzy.
"Furisa, the tea is ready! Can you help me cool it down?" shouted Mixia. The Froslass then flew back into the cottage, blowing a gentle Icy Wind onto the teapot sitting on a tray and paired with a plate of Shalour Sables, being carried by the spectral manifestations donning a skull, Duskull.
"Clever, Mixia, knowing how to use an Ice-type to cool things for you," said Wizzy, "Anyhow, can you please help me get that Gengar out of my face?!"
"Oh, right. Spiritas, let my friend enter." commanded Mixia. The Gengar then vanished into a pile of smoke.
"Hmm, 'friend'? I can still remember what she did to me the day after I met Jirachi..." Wizzy thought as he entered the cottage's lawn.
"You must've heard of me having a tea party today, that's why you've come. Please, sit." said Mixia as she invited Wizzy to sit at a table for two.
"That's not what I came for," said Wizzy, "Anyhow, it seems that you're not only teaching Ghost-types to perform in professional battles, but you're also teaching them how to prepare a tea party."
"Tea parties used to be my aunt's pastime until she had to help my mother to look after me." explained Mixia, "She explained a lot about them, therefore I believe I might pass the preparation methods to my Ghosts. They're quite doing it well."
"I suppose no trainer would do such things." replied Wizzy.
"Of course not. Ghost-types rarely obey their trainer's commands when it comes to things outside battles. I'm an exception because, after all, I can commune with the Spirit World, and the Ghosts are aware of my abilities therefore being able to listen to me."
"Extraordinary." said Wizzy as he sat on the chair next to the table, then Mixia sat.
The girl poured out a blue-coloured tea from the teapot onto the teacups. She then gave the boy one. The boy took a sip of the tea, and displayed a confused face.
"I don't taste anything. What's this?" Wizzy asked.
"Oh, it's Clitoria tea, made from Clitoria flowers which which were thought to no longer exist in Kalos. I heard it's found in tropical regions such as Hoenn." explained Mixia.
"If these flowers are not native in Kalos, then how are they grown in the region?" Wizzy asked.
"I stumbled upon a lone bunch of the flowers when I moved to this cottage. Fortunately, I caught a Flabebe before I returned to Laverre." Mixia replied, "The flowers were near to dying out, but Bloom, my Flabebe, managed to keep these flowers alive. Then I decided to cultivate the Clitoria.
"What fortunate beings these flowers are." said Wizzy.
"Did you know that Clitoria can help in mitigating the ageing of cells? Not only that, it promotes healthy hair growth and makes your skin look better!" Mixia added.
"Oh, so that's why you look cute with your stomach exposed, because it shines vast white as a result of consumption of the tea." Wizzy responded.
"Any parts of my body has nothing to relate with your explanation, especially my tummy." said Mixia, being annoyed by Wizzy's response.
"At least it's a thousand times better than putting make-up on your face," Wizzy added.
"I'll agree your statement, because the make-up provided by the PR Video studio is horrible. I tried them on, and I always acknowledge that I look the cutest without make-up. Some Pokemon are naturally charming in the first place, so I should preserve my natural cuteness." Mixia commented.
"You sounded like you should participate in Contest Spectaculars in Hoenn. With you wearing this fashion style of yours you might infatuate the whole crowd!" Wizzy bluffed.
"If I went to Hoenn, the first thing on my to-do list is to meet Phoebe." said Mixia.
"Yeah... I do see the similarity between you and Phoebe..." said Wizzy, "But we're getting off-topic right now."
"Oh, you're right," said Mixia as she gives a plate of sliced long, yellow-coloured berries, "Try squeeze one of these onto the tea."
"Are those Nomel berries? You can't find those in Kalos!" Wizzy exclaimed.
"I bought them on a sale in Laverre's berry market. I remembered reading about the Nomel Berry changing the colour of the tea, so I bought a half-dozen of these berries to try out. Awfully sour, but it makes the tea taste great. Not to mention it will look beautiful!" Mixia explained.
Wizzy squeezed a slice of the Nomel berry, and a few drops of juice came out, giving the tea a hint of purplish pink.
"Amazing! But why does the berry changes the tea's colour?" Wizzy asked.
"I don't know, but I think it acts as some kind of acidity-alkalinity indicator of some sort." Mixia answered.
Wizzy took another sip of the tea, this time its colour changed. "Agh! Too sour!"
"I forgot to add honey inside the tea! Sorry!" Mixia apologized.
"Can the tea be stored overnight? I don't think so." asked Wizzy.
"I tried that once. When I tasted the leftover tea, I don't think it taste good like freshly made," Mixia answered. "So I wouldn't recommend keeping it for long."
"Uh, I think it's time to go now. My Gardevoir is starting to worry where am I now..." said Wizzy as he stood up to leave.
"Wait! Why did you come to my house in the first place?" asked Mixia.
"Ah! I almost forgot. I'd like to thank you for the guide you gave me last month. Very helpful indeed, and not to mention correcting my mistakes in battling. I think I came up with the perfect team." Wizzy replied.
"Hmm, really?" said Mixia in a flirting way as she stood up.
"One night in the Anistar Gym, I kind of forced two girls to forfeit. The first one displayed poor sportsmanship after I Mega Evolved my Alakazam against her Greninja, and it Traced its opponent's Protean while under Protect. The Greninja then threw Water Shurikens at it, but that failed and it retaliated back with a Dazzling Gleam. Then the girl sent out her Dusknoir, but it did not last long as a result of being completely knocked out by a Shadow Ball empowered by Protean. Alakazam is finally as good as Sabrina's!" Wizzy recalled.
"You must be doing great! I bet your Alakazam is going to win the World Tournament, assuming there are no Sucker Punchers." Mixia praised.
"I can still remember that girl... Wearing blue accented jeans, thankfully not torn jeans or even worse, torn shorts! And even better, she look super adorable wearing an orange midriff halter top..."
"I agree that torn shorts look hideous on me... Wait, you're infatuated by that girl?!" Mixia interrupted Wizzy's daydreaming.
"Not really, because I was almost dismayed when she forfeit immediately without announcing who's the winner. What a sore loser is she. Oh well, she looked adorable by the way." Wizzy replied.
"Okay. Explain about the match with the second challenger." said Mixia.
"Remember the girl we met in Dendemille during our birthday? I invited her to an Anistar Gym rematch, hosted by myself. Remember the Slowbro you gave me? At one point she sent out a Quagsire and Yawned at the Slowbro while it kept throwing Scald at Quagsire. As it fell asleep, just imagine how many Earthquakes that thing took from the Quagsire! Then at one point I sent out Magika, you know, my Gothitelle which was the Gothita you saw last month to trap one of my opponent's Pokemon utilizing Shadow Tag. She forfeited, but with good sport. This is the type trainer I'd expect." Wizzy recalled again.
"Well done. I don't understand why Gothitelle isn't as well-appreciated as those other overrated Pokemon such as Garchomps, Salamences, Talonflames and Tyranitars." said Mixia.
"You purposely added the apostrophe 'S' sound as an insult, right?" Wizzy asked.
"You should understand what I think. You're a psychic, after all." Mixia replied, flirtatiously.
"Wh-what are you going?!" Wizzy panicked.
"Let me ask you a question," said Mixia, "If I had a Pokemon ability, what do you think it is?"
"Cursed Body?" Wizzy replied in panic.
"Wrong! Cute Charm!" Mixia leaned her nose tip towards Wizzy's.
"I'm regretting this..." Wizzy thought.
He can feel his friend's temptation against him. What he has seen in front of him was nothing but the cute gaze of the girl's sapphire blue eyes. With his mind being dropped of focus on resisting the girl's infatuating appearance, Wizzy has put his mind into danger, feeling an imbalance of psionic energy within his body as his body temperature has raised to drastic levels.
"Dark energies are producing in greater amounts than light energies. Exceeding the energy cap. Overflow of dark energies may overheat the body and possibly resulting the destruction of the Psychic's mind itself." Wizzy's mind read.
On the other hand, Sorcerise, along with two two-tailed feline creatures, the Espeon, and two humanoid creatures resembling women dressed in Gothic fasion, the Gothitelle fought off the Ghost-type Pokemon in Laverre. These other Psychic Pokemon were teleported to Laverre by Sorcerise as she was unable to fight off the endless stream of Ghost-types. Since these Ghosts are not fully evolved, the Psychic-type Pokemon managed to defeat them in an onslaught against the Ghosts.
"They never stop coming, do they? If you didn't provoke them while they're staring at you, none of these would have happened!" an Espeon said through telepathy.
"I don't mind take a beating out of these..." another Espeon commented and noticed spectral entities of toxic gas, the Gastly, coming after the first Espeon, "Behind you!"
The Espeon immediately cast a shield around it, apparently using the move Protect. The second Espeon's gem-like 'third eye' formed a black orb and cast it at the attacking Gastly. An explosion from the orb blasted away the Gastly.
"It's Santalune Forest all over again..." the Espeon thought.
"How long do I have to channel the energies at these phantasms?" asked a Gothitelle as it channeled a Thunderbolt, "Do you know where is Wizzy now?"
"I have to sense his presence for his whereabouts." Sorcerise replied.
"Be swift. He might be in danger!" the Astral Body Pokemon added.
"Honestly, I don't think so." another Gothitelle commented.
Sorcerise closed her eyes, and receive a message coming from her trainer's mind:
"Dark energies are producing in greater amounts than light energies. Exceeding the energy cap..."
"There was a shift in Wizzy's psionic balance! We must get to him or he will die from it!" Sorcerise shouted. She then received another telepathic message, this time from Wizzy himself:
"H-h-help me... Fever..."
"Fever... Dark energy input in abnormal conditions..." Sorcerise thought.
As Sorcerise had marked her trainer's location, she immediately teleported to her trainer's location and noticed her trainer being touched by his rival, with their nose tips in contact with each other.
"Stop! What in Cresselia's name are you doing! What have you done is going to kill him!" Sorcerise shouted.
"I-I was just teasing with him... that's all..." said Mixia, "Oh dear, are you having a fever, Wizzy?"
"Your contact with the Psychic has resulted in an extremely abnormal flow of dark energy storing within his body. To release all these excess energy means to destroy something around him." the Gardevoir added.
The shadowy face that formed in front of Wizzy appeared again, and Spiritas came back from the shadows.
"Gengar-gen-gen-gar-gen." Spiritas said.
"You think you could help the boy to recover... Nonsense, you're more likely to scare his soul out of him." Sorcerise replied.
Mixia then immediately hugged Wizzy, "Relax now, Wizzy... That energy is going to be calmed into... I don't know what that is."
"You cannot convert dark energy to the opposite polarity. I don't see how are you helping him at all." Sorcerise voiced in distrust. However, Sorcerise started to notice Wizzy's mind reading:
"Light energies are producing in greater amounts as black energies. Reaching balance state. New energy cap created. Body temperature falling, but may fall to an extent if flow of light energies continue."
"His body is cooling down. I can feel it." Mixia notified, "You're alright, Wizzy? I'm sorry for the cutesy thing I did to you just now."
"Uwaghh... My mind is feeling dizzy..." said Wizzy.
A Gothitelle was knocked back by an explosion, possibly coming from a Shadow Ball. The two Espeon immediately ran into Wizzy, while another Gothitelle teleported to its trainer.
"There we go! Wizzy's feeling better, psychic energy balance reached, everything is back to normal and nothing happened to my trainer." said the Gothitelle as it checked its trainer's condition, "By the way, young lady, did you just tease him resulting his energy balance to be unstable?"
"Uh... I almost thought Wizzy was blushing for a moment..." Mixia replied, sheepishly.
"Astra! Are you alright?" said Wizzy as he rushed towards the injured Gothitelle.
The Mismagius that appeared in front of Sorcerise earlier returned, forming a Shadow Ball as it is about to finish the Gothitelle off.
"Agh... These phantasms kept coming at us, and one of the greater ones managed to knock out me!" said Astra.
"Jauna! Stop attacking! We don't want anyone to mess at visitors in the first place." Mixia commanded.
The Mismagius then returned to its trainer's side.
"We shouldn't have provoked them in the first place." said the other Gothitelle.
"What?! They interrupted me while I was trying to foresee the future!" Sorcerise said in retaliation.
"Magika is right; it seems that she has a better understanding of Mixia and her Pokemon compared to the rest of you." Wizzy commented.
"Oh, so you're not worried about some sword-and-shield aberration annihilating your entire team by striking from the shadows?" an Espeon commented.
"Aether, remember what happened in one battle where you managed to put an Aegislash to sleep, then Mirra was sent out and kept creating Barriers while behind a Substitute, and finally Baton Passing to Xatu to unleash Stored Power? That's how you defeated an Aegislash!" Wizzy rephrased.
"Aether meant how is he going to take down those monstrosities by its own. I can blast away one of them with a Shadow Ball while Aether is stuck with Dream-Eating." another Espeon commented.
"I understood your potential, Magus, but for Aether... well, he is right all along." Wizzy responded.
"May I get Spectris out to face you guys?" Mixia asked as she winked at Wizzy.
"Gengar-gar-gar!" Spiritas ranted.
"Fine, Spiritas. I won't." Mixia responded, smiling.
Spiritas told Magika to come, and told the Gothitelle about its observations on Wizzy's powers.
"Hmm... You're sensitive to the light energy while you can absorb the dark energy..." Magika replied, "Curious, I've seen the phenomenon happening onto Sorcerise too, but the opposite: absorbs and radiates light energy, but sensitive to dark energy."
"What was that? About Psychics and Ghosts being the same thing?" Wizzy asked.
"Not that. It told me that your dark energies give it more power to store, but it is harmed by light energy. However, the opposite happened onto the snow spirit." Magika explained.
"Is it me, or you sounded like a speaker for the dead?" Aether asked.
"It's rude to mention about anything regarding death when Ghost-types are around." Wizzy warned.
"The dead... Something's not right with the spirits nowadays..." said Mixia.
"What's wrong?" Wizzy asked.
"For the past few months, the spirits are being silent. I tried to commune with them, but they won't respond," Mixia explained, "The last time I heard voices from the Spirit World was after the meteorite falling towards Hoenn was destroyed by Rayquaza."
"I think I made a hypothesis: The spirits are the most active when danger falls onto a specific part of the Pokemon world. Remember the incident involving Team Flare at Geosenge? That was the time where you can kept hearing spirits talking to you." Wizzy explained.
"So you mean that the spirits become restless when a catastrophe is going on around the world? I can recall the spirits kept talking to me when Team Galactic was destroying Sinnoh by summoning Dialga, Palkia and Giratina several years ago." said Mixia.
"Indeed. The Spirit World was meant to keep balance in the mortal realm... I bet that's why they talked to you during these dire times around the regions outside Kalos. They wished to interfere against the evil organisations' murderous leaders... yet they do not have a beacon to summon them, nor Xerneas has awakened back then." Wizzy added.
"Me? A beacon for the spirits?" Mixia asked.
"You are the Shaman, aren't you?" Wizzy replied.
"Yup!" Mixia answered and smiled, "Oh, I'll be heading towards the forests near Route 14 to harvest mushrooms. Look after my house, will you?"
"Don't mind about my Pokemon finishing the leftovers of our tea party? They haven't had lunch yet." Wizzy asked.
"Sure. Try to not to make a fight out of my Ghosts and your Psychics." Mixia replied.
"Before you go, there's one more thing. It's about what I saw in the future."Sorcerise advised.
"Explain." Mixia responded.
"In my vision, I foresaw two figures, each representing Wizzy's two energy polarities, which are, as you know it, light and darkness. Try to think about it while you're harvesting." the Gardevoir explained.
"No time for enigmas, but I'll try to commune with the spirits about it." the girl replied.
She then picked up her basket, which was left next to her cottage's front door, and left her home as she ran off to the deep forests. Little she knows that there's a 'figure' resting in these deep woods...
"Are those Shalour Sables? I can't wait to try those!" said Aether as it jumped up to the table and picked a Shalour Sable.
"What beverage is this?" Sorcerise asked as she pointed at a teacup.
"Clitoria tea. I tried it and it doesn't taste like anything, but when I squeezed a Nomel berry onto the tea, it changes colour. However, I was overwhelmed by the Nomel's sour taste. Be careful when you drink it." Wizzy explained.
Sorcerise took a sip of the tea. "Hmm... nothing special about it, but it's very rare in Kalos. So do the berry itself." she commented.
"What? But I tried it with the Nomel and it's freakishly sour!" said Wizzy.
"Perhaps our taste buds are as different as yours." Sorcerise responded.
"Don't mind if I take one of these cookies?" Astra asked.
"Why not? These things taste great!" Aether replied as it munched the Sable.
Wizzy noticed Spiritas, Furisa and Jauna speaking gibberish to each other, as if they were discussing about something.
"Sigh... How long do I have to be here?" Wizzy mumbled.
In the forests near Laverre, Mixia was picking up Tiny Mushrooms which are grown on a rotten log by cutting the mushrooms from the log.
"Here's hoping I can score a Balm Mushroom here." she thought.
Then, she heard a mysterious voice, coming from nowhere. It sounded as it was a shriek either from a Misdreavus or a Gourgeist, but it's source cannot be seen. This voice read:
The voice then fades."I am not alive, thus I can't die..."
"Is that a riddle? 'Not alive', 'can't die'... Wait, when a living being dies, its spirit is released, entering the Spirit World. It's impossible to tell whether a spirit is actually dead, nor it is alive. So, those beings the Gardevoir told me must be spirits." Mixia thought.
"Or maybe they're not spirits, but beings that hold spirits and channel their powers, yet they're considered spirits. That concludes to be Ghost-type Pokemon, and it must be powerful indeed. From my knowledge, Giratina is not one of them... but who?" she thought again. "Regardless, it seems that the Spirit World is opening to me once again. I can feel it!"
As the girl is done harvesting mushrooms and putting them into her basket, she then head off to another spot with mushrooms. However, something had halt her. She noticed the deer-like antlers of the 'figure' which had settled in these forests days ago. The girl decided to check out the 'figure'.
As she walked nearer to the 'figure', the 'figure' started to reveal its blue head and black cervine body, along with its dazzling antlers. Taller than the girl's height, the 'figure' was the guardian of forests spoken in legends, the Aspect of Life, the watcher of metempsychosis: Xerneas.
"It's good to see you again, young Shaman. It seems you have grown up, slightly."
"Good to see you again! I was very worried about the spirits." said Mixia.
"The Spirit World... It has not awakened in the wake of a catastrophe yet to come. Through our encounter, the spirits should be called upon the power of the Shaman."
"What catastrophe?" Mixia asked.
"Direct me to the human settlement. We'll discuss about it, along with the settlement's watcher."
Mixia then led Xerneas to Laverre. As a Shaman, she felt honoured to guide the Aspect of Life. At the same time, she was curious about who's Laverre's watcher... The city's Gym Leader, Valerie, perhaps?
Back in the lawn of Mixia's house, Wizzy's two Gothitelle enjoyed the tea as they're a pair of Ladies having teatime. Magus slept, as it had no foes to battle with, but Aether kept munching on the Sables. On the other hand, Sorcerise, along with her trainer, were trying to translate the Ghost-types' gibberish which they kept discussing about.
"You know, I'm starting to doubt whether those things' Ghost-speak are relevant to your foresight." said Wizzy.
"Trying... to figure out. So far, I managed to figure out that they're talking about the figures of light and darkness." said Sorcerise.
"I'm back!" Mixia shouted.
"Hey! How's your har... Whoa!?!" Wizzy was stunned by the Aspect of Life's arrival. The other Pokemon were also surprised by Xerneas' arrival, especially Magus, who had woken up to see the Aspect of Life's appearance. Even the residents in Laverre were shocked too.
"It seems I've seen you somewhere, young Psychic."
"H-h-how do you know me? Cresselia doesn't have any links with you and the spirits!" Wizzy gasped.
"By your interactions with the Shaman. The spirits have told me about you."
"It is an honour to meet you, Aspect of Life." Sorcerise greeted.
"Ah, a mystical being of Fairy power. I haven't seen one of your brethren lately."
"Explain what brought you to outside of this city." Mixia asked.
"I came to warn you of an incoming catastrophe. All the other Aspects in Kalos have gathered their energies, while I have not. Speaking of which, I was reminded of the presence of your dual, opposing energies."
"What? You mean some of my energy is with you? Was that a contamination or something?" Wizzy asked.
"Some of the energies, similar to yours, seeped into my body. I do not know how I gain these energies, but I do know how it affects my powers. If I am in this form, the powers which I unleash will possess the same coloration as this form, and vice versa. I am trying to gain control of these energies. For now, I'm currently in the black polarity state of your energies."
"I don't understand what you meant. Perhaps you should cast a spell or something on one of my Pokemon, like a Moonblast?" Wizzy asked.
Magika then teleported to his side.
"I can sense a massive flow of dark energy in Xerneas' state. I'll cast my polarity shield; if it absorbs the attack, then that concludes that Xerneas is in the states of polarity." Magika explained.
"Well, I hope that your explanation is true..." said Mixia.
The coloured protrusions on Xerneas' horns began to glow, refracting light and an orb of dark polarity energy formed. Magika utilized its energy to unleash its Shadow Tag power, and a shield of energy same as Xerneas' Moonblast was formed from its hands. Xerneas unleashed the Moonblast, and the orb was absorbed by the shield.
"Gengar?!" Spiritas gasped in shock.
"Konome-yukokinome..." the Froslass whispered.
"Mismagius? Giuma-mismagius..." Jauna formed a Shadow Ball, confused.
"Looks like Xerneas contains the energies of yours." said Magika.
"Hey! Hey! Try me! I can put up my shield and take that dark energy!" said Aether as it ran towards Xerneas and jumped in excitement.
"Careful Aether, this power is able to devastate your Protect. Remember what happened to Sorcerise?" the Gothitelle warned.
"I foresaw the future, and all I saw was devastation while you struggled against two monstrosities. Is that the catastrophe you spoke of?" Sorcerise asked.
"Indeed... I thought these newfound powers can aid me in the battle against the other Aspects, but then I realised that without the aid of the spirits... The cycle of life will be broken. Moreover, my allies have not awakened yet."
"But on an alternative vision, I foresaw two beings that represent Wizzy's energy polarities standing up against the monstrosities as they unleashed their respective energies onto what's coming in their way," Sorcerise added, "However, if we need to defeat those monstrosities, we might have to find Reshiram and Zekrom themselves, and they have not descended onto Kalos yet."
"The Aspects of Truth and Ideals... They contain the powers of polarity, yet so far they have arrived in Hoenn. I cannot reach that region in time to ask them to help battle Kalos' other Aspects. Nor as I could request Arceus' armies as I am bound to the mortal realm for eternity. That is why I came, to seek help from the Shaman herself, so the Spirit World is open to the mortal realm once again."
"Can I join you in your cause? I'm prepared for this... upcoming war." asked Wizzy.
"Of course, you may. An ordinary mortal with such amazing psychic power is indeed a useful ally for my cause."
The skies suddenly start to turn dark. Screams can be heard throughout the city, and they're horrifying as those screams are not from the spirits shrieking, but something more horrifying... demons from the shadows. They come in either black or white, as they look like they're summoned by a greater entity.
A woman with mystical eyes and long, straight black hair, dressed in a lilac furisode, walked towards Xerneas in desperation. She, along with her Fairy-type Pokemon, covered their ears from the terrifying screams, with the exception of a mime-like Pokemon, Mr. Mime due to it being Soundproof.
"Lady Valerie, are you alright?" Mixia asked.
"The city authorities and I have told all of the residents of the city to evacuate to the Poke Ball Factory... All of them were led to safety with the exception of you! Mixia, for the sake of your safety, evacuate now!" Valerie warned.
"I'm not leaving my Ghosts behind. Look, Xerneas is going to protect this city!" said Mixia.
"A couple of Kirlia have notified me about this upcoming devastation... But from these unholy screams... They're worse than I imagined..." the Gym Leader commented.
"Uh... What is that above?" Aether asked, frightened.
"No... Impossible..." Wizzy gasped in horror.
Up in the dark sky, a large, red and black avian demon in the shape of Y appeared along with the shadow creatures under its control. It screamed in a demonic voice:
"I have... returned..."
"The Aspect of Destruction... Yveltal..."
"So, we meet again, pathetic Life-keeper. It seems that your spirit friends are no longer on your side. This war will be over before you manage to strike!"
"Who are you talking about the Spirit World? They will seek vengeance on you for the lives you've taken!" Mixia shouted.
"So, you're the Shaman... Hmph, a frail girl. I suppose you will die first..."
Yveltal's wings and feathers spread out, and its crest started to glow, unleashing its power of devastation, Oblivion Wing onto the girl. Xerneas rushed to her side and stood its antlers to deflect white-and-red beam of death, but it was absorbed by a shield made of psionic energy which was formed by Wizzy.
"Do not ever think of doing harm to humans, Dark One. Including the one I've cared for and grown up with!" Wizzy shouted.
"What's that? It was the boy who gave me this wonderful power..."
"Never! I'll not grant you any of my prowess! Go back to the wretched hole Arceus spawned you from!" Wizzy shouted again.
"Do you remember what happened back in the Village a year ago? You unleashed your power against me. Indeed, it was painful, but as I got up, I went back to my den to investigate these new energies of yours... And now, I'm more powerful than ever."
"Back then I did not know I was a Psychic who have these powers of light and darkness!" Wizzy screamed.
"You shall be honoured for the destruction I shall create..."
"The Sprites have descended to punish you!" Wizzy screamed again.
"Oh, did they arrive in the entire set?"
"Never, one by one they will arrive throughout time." Wizzy replied, angrily.
"Wizzy, it's no use of bombarding words at that monster! According to legends, even the most diplomatic of negotiations will not stop it!" Mixia whispered.
A green light suddenly dashed into the city, revealing a canine-like creature in black and green, along with a scarf-like extension on its neck.
"Aspect of Destruction, how dare you would start a war onto the land I watched? Arceus will casts Its Judgement onto you, and banish you from the mortal world! The cycle of life cannot be destroyed!"
"Hah, do you think the gods that enlisted you will come? They do not, because Xerneas has taken over your duty of watching over the cycle of life."
"And Xerneas... hand over your role as the watcher of this region to me... At this instance."
"I shall not. Do you know that Arceus also enlisted you to look after another region beyond Kalos? With your absence and silence, I took over, and if you try to juggle the fate of two regions into your hands, you cannot handle the chaos that would descend onto both of them!"
"The Life-keeper is right. You cannot save those pitiful worlds of yours... Zygarde. Attack, my minions!"
"I wish to help you Xerneas, but because of your refusal to transfer responsibility onto my hands, I will have to battle Yveltal on my own, and I will not side with you and the mortals. In my heart, you're bound to be with them."
The shadow creatures descended onto the city as they were bombs being dropped during times of war. Zygarde charged towards the demons, and unleashed streaks of green energy, with hints of black and white, to strike down the incoming demons.
"The Aspect of Order... is no longer on our side." Mixia lamented.
"It is flawed. It doesn't trust us humans." Wizzy responded.
"Mixia! Call the Spirit World to me! Now!"
The girl cast a shamanic incantation, preparing a ritual to summon the gates of the Spirit World. Xerneas stood in the stance of casting its signature preparation move, Geomancy
"This time, I really need the help of Celebi and Jirachi! Celebi! Jirachi! Come to me at once!" Wizzy shouted.
However, nothing happened to him.
"Perhaps you should try to rephrase the poem again? Maybe each phrase will summon them!" Sorcerise advised.
"It might work! I hope." Wizzy responded.
Wizzy closed his eyes, and chanted the first two lines of the poem he heard months ago:
"A celestial meeting at an enchanted forest from a visitor of time,
A sprite joyously appears to grant wishes in a splendorous night sky..."
The mysterious beams of light which shone in front of Wizzy earlier appeared, summoning the Time Traveler and the Wishmaker.
"Whoa! Good to meet you again, Wizzy! You want me to tell you a good moment throughout my journeys? Alright! There was one time..."
"There's no time for jokes, Celebi!" Wizzy shouted.
"What is that? It's too scary!" the Jirachi shrieked in fear.
"That monster again? This thing almost wiped me out of my existence in this world in a timeline 3000 years from now! I'll have my revenge on this thing!" said Celebi as it flew towards Yveltal.
"Hey, big bird! You almost owe me the life of someone who's really important to these forests!" the Time Traveler shouted.
"Have I not seen you before? Die, you insignificant whelp!"
As Yveltal was about to unleash another Oblivion Wing, Xerneas unleashed a Moonblast at Yveltal to instantly knock out the Aspect of Destruction. Yveltal suddenly covered itself with its wings and tail feathers. As it protected itself, waves of dark energy were unleashed, knocking back Celebi, and the black adornments on its body turned white, along with its grey crest on its neck being given a darker shade.
"Your light is useless now. All shall tremble upon my newfound power!"
A flash of light came out from Xerneas, and some blueish wisps were released from Xerneas, indicating its Geomancy ritual is complete.
"You're not the only one who possess this power. The spirits have awakened, and they will consume the minions of yours."
Yveltal unleashed another Oblivion Wing, this time infused with its light polarity energies. Xerneas immediately cast a sphere around it, and as the sphere is removed, its blue head turned into a shade of aqua, while its black legs became white in colour. The Oblivion Wing did none to the Aspect of Life's newfound power, as it is absorbed due to being the same polarity.
"I'm starting to think this is a game of black and white, if you what I mean." said Mixia.
"Then I'm joining in. The monsters are descending onto the city now!" said Wizzy.
Wizzy formed an orb of light energy, and launched it onto a platoon of shadows coloured in black, destroying them in the process. Another platoon of shadows, coloured in white, charged onto Wizzy from the sky, and the Psychic formed an orb of dark energy to decimate them.
He then finds himself being surrounded by twelve, white medium-sized shadows, about his height. The shadows launched white shadowy projectiles at him, and Wizzy formed a white-coloured shield around him, absorbing the projectiles in the process, and retaliating back with streaks of white energy absorbed, tearing the shadows apart in the process, and more white projectiles are thrown at him as they are destroyed in the process. Another group of black shadows, with same properties as the previous shadows, surrounded the boy in the same formation, and were destroyed by the same way the last group was destroyed: absorb black projectiles and retaliate back, plus absorbing their remains.
"Seeing my boyfriend fighting those entities with much prowess... I'm fortunate to have him to be on our side." said Mixia.
"Or maybe you should try to help him," Sorcerise replied, and then commanded the Espeon and Gothielle "Fight those demons which are the same polarity of yours, or the other way around!"
"I must concentrate my attack on Yveltal. Our brethren have been fending off Yveltal from attacking the Village for centuries, and I must live up my traits of my kind in Kalos." said Astra.
"Be careful! Your attack will not work against Yveltal!" Sorcerise warned.
Astra focused its palms on aiming Yveltal. By using the powers of the stars, the Astral Body Pokemon cast a beam of lightning at Yveltal, but it was deflected due to it being the same polarity.
"Impossible! This attack should be able to defeat Yveltal!" Astra gasped in shock.
"But not when it can use Wizzy's energies to change polarities and fend off your antics!" Sorcerise responded.
"Yunokino-konomeyuki!" Furisa spoke.
"Even your super-special focusing Ice Beam is not going to work? Perhaps you should try saving it for something big," Magus replied, "I suggest to group up with me and Aether. We will take care of the black ones."
"Mismagius-magius!" Jauna spoke.
"So, you want to help in destroying the white ones. Good, just be careful for what is thrown at you." said Magika.
The Espeon and Furisa went off in a group, while the Gothitelle and Jauna also went off to blast away anything that's the opposite polarity of theirs.
"Looks like I'm alone this time..." Sorcerise thought.
"Hey, do you want to pair up with my Gengar? You should benefit from Xerneas' Fairy Aura. Valerie's Pokemon have received its blessing." Mixia asked.
"You have taken an interest in my trainer, haven't you?" asked Sorcerise, "And you've called him 'boyfriend'..."
"I'm just friends with Wizzy. That's all. But sometimes, I tend to get carried away about my friendship and rivalry with him, and went lovey-dovey onto him." replied Mixia.
"I suppose Wizzy must've been fortunate of having you as a... uhm... friend, I suppose." said Sorcerise as she smiled, "But where's Jirachi?"
"Gengar-gen." Spiritas pointed out the Starry Sprite's 'headpiece', hiding in one of the large mushrooms. Sorcerise then immediately went to Jirachi's side.
"Jirachi! Why aren't you joining the fight?" Sorcerise asked.
"That big demon... too scary! Celebi is no match for that big demon... Ahhhh!" Jirachi then screamed in horror.
"What in Cresselia's name..." Sorcerise gasped.
"Gengar?!?!" Spiritas also gasped.
As Zygarde was near to being fallen by Yveltal's minions, swarms of small, greenish objects raced towards Zygarde. With these mysterious objects attatched to Zygarde, they started to repel any shadow creature that comes near to Zygarde, and those shadows that touch the Aspect of Order are immediately disintegrated.
"Pathetic creature! You think these bugs of yours can save you?"
"Then you have not seen my truest power yet."
Zygarde is transformed from a hound-like being, to a colossal humanoid, with appendages of blue and red attatched to its shoulders and donning what appears to be a knight's armour. With an intimidating appearance towering above the Laverre Gym and said to possess powers beyond Xerneas and Yveltal's, it seems that this battle will never end, as long as Zygarde remains in this monstrous form.
"Impossible! How are you able to transform from an unnoticeable serpent to a monstrosity like Rayquaza?!"
"Then you should not have underestimate the gifts of Arceus since your wretched birth..."
Mixia immediately took out her Pokedex to search for information about Zygarde's monstrous forme. However, the Pokedex states that not much information about Zygarde's alternate formes are discovered, but it provided one warning: It cannot be taken down by Destiny Bond in that forme.
Zygarde then released small, green hexagonal shapes of power at the shadows which surrounded it. Any creature that is hit by these 'waves' of power are unable to flee from Zygarde's grasp; some shadows survived, but were unables to flee, so they're destroyed by Zygarde's streaks of power. At the same time, the gates of the Spirit World started to open, and blueish wisps came out from the gates, attacking Zygarde, Yveltal and its minions.
However, as the spirits made contact with the shadow creatures, they started to fade, with some, larger than a Tyranitar, need multitudes of spirits to destroy, while others... they cannot be destroyed at all. Wizzy, despite managing to destroy multitudes of the minions through his psychic powers, had fallen in despair as the spirits are unable to defeat Yveltal's armies.
"The power of the dead cannot help you now, Life-keeper. They will soon be under my control, just like what happened to my minions..."
"I should grasp the Spirit World under my control. Your foul presence is not welcomed in the realm of the dead, Aspect of Destruction. If you do, Giratina will be set free from the Distortion World."
"I am not defeated yet! The figures of Light and Darkness will defeat both of you, and keep balance to the realm of the mortals and the spirits!"
"Light..." Wizzy gasped while he glanced at Sorcerise.
"Darkness..." said Mixia as she stared at her Gengar.
"If I am the light..." said Sorcerise as she faced towards the Gengar.
"Gar-gar-gen... Gengar!" Spiritas exclaimed about of figures' identities.
"I realised something! When a Gardevoir and a Gengar Mega Evolve, they are white and black respectively. But if both of them are shiny Pokemon... their colours will be reversed!" Wizzy exclaimed.
"Perhaps if I acheive this..." Sorcerise then noticed more shadows attacking Wizzy, "Look out!"
The Gardevoir immediately formed an orb of white energy from its hands, perhaps casting a Moonblast, and hurled the orb at the black-coloured creatures. She then formed another orb, this time as black as a Shadow Ball, and hurled it at the white-coloured creatuers. Spiritas immediately disappeared and reappeared at Sorcerise's location, and hurled a Shadow Ball at another group of white shadows. When the black shadows surrounded the Gengar, it unleashed a flash of light from its body, perhaps a Dazzling Gleam, and the shadows faded.
"It seems that we are on the opposite polarities." Sorcerise commented.
"Gar. Gengar." Spiritas replied.
On the other hand, Valerie seems to feel outnumbered by the shadow bombarding at her Pokemon. Despite receiving Xerneas' blessing, her Pokemon are collapsing, one by one. Even her Sylveon, along with her Mawile Mega Evolved, could not stand against the shadows' onslaught, and the barriers created by her Mr. Mime could not protect its allies, too.
"The power of fairies are supposed to defeat the darkness... But with the darkenss being capable of turning the light against the fairies, it seems there's no hope at all." Valerie lamented.
A ram-like creature with cotton fur, Whimsicott, charged towards Yveltal as the Aspect of Destruction descended. The Windveiled Pokemon attempted to cast a Moonblast at Yveltal, but the monster unleashed an Oblivion Wing, draining the life out of the Whimsicott.
"Your fairies are no match for my prowess now! Yes, Life-keeper, not even your kind will save you! And you, majestic one, shall bow before me as I destroy the souls of your creatures..."
Yveltal reverted back to its normal, black appearance, then its monstrous beak opened wide, and a beam of dark energy, perhaps a Dark Pulse, was launched at Xerneas. The Aspect of Life immediately reverted back to its black coloration, absorbing the Dark Pulse inflicted onto it. It then, unleashed a Moonblast at the Yveltal as the Aspect of Destruction changed to its white coloration. The attack was absorbed, and Yveltal cast Oblivion Wing onto Xerneas, but the attack was negated as Xerneas changed its polarity energy.
"This is bad..." said Mixia as she noticed Valerie's condition.
"I'll go distract it!" said Wizzy.
"No! You might die if you do so!" Mixia warned.
"If we want my Gardevoir and your Gengar to receive Xerneas' blessing then Mega Evolve them, I must let Xerneas to empower our Pokemon!" Wizzy replied, and immediately teleported to the location Xerneas and Yveltal were fighting.
"I will come." said Jirachi.
"Hey, Yveltal! Come at me!" shouted Wizzy.
"Go get 'em, Wizzy!" shouted Celebi as it got up.
"So, you chose to face me in person, young psychic. You won't stand a chance as humans are incapable of challenging me!"
"But I can," Wizzy replied, "Because you have my powers."
Yveltal let go a monstrous roar, and rose up to the air. Its body released globules of black and white energy in order to surround the young Psychic in a rain of psionic energy. Wizzy evaded every single globule of energy that's opposite his polarity state, while Jirachi continuously unleashed its Doom Desire and Future Sight attacks, although it was struck by Yveltal's Sucker Punch, which was charging towards the foe preparing an attack, while doing so.
"It is time. Get to my side, and receive my power!"
Sorcerise and Spiritas flew towards Xerneas standing at the left and right of Xerneas respectively. Xerneas' body glowed pink and emited an aura of its fae energies, transferring the energies to the Gardevoir and Gengar. Embracing the blessings of Xerneas, one may feel its powers of light and fae enhanced, in this case, the two's Dazzling Gleam effectiveness were strongly enhanced, but Sorcerise benefitting the most from the Fairy Aura as it knew Moonblast.
"One thing left is to Mega Evolve them. Wizzy, hurry up!" shouted Mixia.
"Hold on! I have to provoke Zygarde to attack Yveltal." said Wizzy.
Wizzy used his telepathic speech to provoke Zygarde, and the Aspect of Order immediately charged towards Yveltal by using Extreme Speed.
"Fools! Why did you force the serpent to strike at me?! Are my minions not enought to destroy you?!"
"You deserve the Judgement from Arceus' wrath. Your armies are already defeated in the first place."
"Never! More shall come, and my armies cannot be stopped!"
Wizzy used the chance to escape, and rushed to hold Mixia's left hand which her Mega Ring is attached to.
"Let's empower our Pokemon." said Wizzy as his right hand which his Mega Ring is located.
"I'm always ready, mon amie et amour." Mixia replied in Kalosian.
The two released their hands, and triggered thei respective Mega Rings at Sorcerise and Spiritas, being bathed under the Fairy Aura, respectively.
A sphere of white energy enveloped around Sorcerise, while a sphere of black energy enveloped around Spiritas. Being empowered by the Fairy Aura, along with achieving Mega Evolution, the two amorphous Pokemon will be granted powers of polarity beyond ordinary means.
Sorcerise transformed from a being in a mage's dress to a feminine entity in a ball gown, with the feeler attatched to its torso split into two. It is now a Mega Gardevoir
"I will not die until I achieve something. Even though the ideal is high, I never give in. Therefore, I never die with regrets."
"I am not alive, thus I can't die. I won't give up even if my ideal isn't fulfilled. My will, just as my regrets, will never end."
"A spirit has taken control of it, maybe." Mixia replied.
"You have achieved your ultimate forms. The light and the darkness are now as one. Go forth, and destroy the unholy armies of Destruction."
(This is where the battle begins.)
Sorcerise and Spiritas rose up to the air, and charged towards the shadow creatures. Three white medium-sized shadows dropped their projectiles at the two Mega Evolved Pokemon, but Sorcerise destroyed them with an empowered Moonblast and absorbed their projectiles. Another group of white shadows appeared, but Sorcerise disintegrated them with Wizzy's energy release. Black shadows in the same formation appeared, but Spiritas destroyed them with a blast from a Shadow Ball, and released its energies at another group. Three white shadows and three black shadows appeared from left and right respectively, and they're destroyed by a Moonblast and a Shadow Ball respectively. Two groups of shadows appeared, with the white ones launching streams of projectiles at Mega Gardevoir while the black ones doing the same to Mega Gengar. As the two groups are destroyed by respective attacks, more groups of shadows appeared, but this time a black one at the white group and a white one at the black group. The two destroyed the 'odd one out' that matched their colours and proceed to destroy the remaining shadows.
The armies of Yveltal panicked, and started to disperse. Three white shadows moved sideways while descending, which were handled by Sorcerise. Two columns of shadows of three, with black and white respectively, did the same and dropped projectiles, and were destroyed by the two Mega Pokemon. Two columns of black shadows appeared and were also destroyed, although Sorcerise had a hard time dodging the remains of the black shadows. Two groups, in white and black respectively, did the same as the first groups of shadows, but to no prevail, and they're followed by two groups of three smaller shadows in respective polarities, yet they suffered the same fate as their fallen brethren.
A swarm of shadows rose up in a formation, in black then white, as the two Pokemon descended to protect the city.
"Careful, they can switch formations of their opposing polarities." said Sorcerise.
Sorcerise and Spiritas attacked the columns with four shadows of the same polarity as theirs, and then tackled the two as they switched positions, and head off to finish the rest. Two large shadows, in black and white respectively appeared along with two small shadows orbiting each shadow. Although the small shadows were destroyed with ease, Sorcerise and Spiritas were having trouble when they cast their attacks at their respective polarites. The large shadows fired multiple sprays of projectiles at the Pokemon, then released clusters of projectiles. After that, they're destroyed by the two's attacks.
"Swap positions. Trigger special attacks on opposing polarities." Spiritas said.
Sorcerise aimed at the black shadows whilte Spiritas aimd at the white shadows. Sorcerise formed a large blob of psychic energy, perhaps a Psyshock, above the black shadows, then crashed it onto the large shadow, which fragments spread to the orbiting shadows as the large shadow was destroyed. Spiritas lobbed a Sludge Bomb onto the large white shadow, destroying it, and the acidic remains corroded the orbiting shadows.
The smaller shadows panicked as they formed groups of three, resulting in disorderly groups of having an 'odd one out'.
"Stay near the position where the shadows meet. If the polarity is the opposite, switch positions!" said Sorcerise.
Sorcerise handled the white ones while Spiritas handled the black ones. When the shadows of the opposing polarity meet, the two Pokemon switched places by circling around in sync with each other.
"Those movements patterns are really making me dizzy." Mixia commented as she watched the two's attacks.
"Then you have never seen a Grumpig's dance. That's even dizzier." Wizzy replied.
A formation of five medium-sized shadows arose from behind. The three black shadows in the front dropped projectiles as they swept to the left, while two white shadows did the same as they swept to the right. Sorcerise handled the white ones while Spiritas handled the black ones, and a large white shadow appeared, launching a beam of white energy to demolish the structures in the city. Sorcerise immediately teleported to block the attack, and retaliate back with an energy release. A circle of small shadows arose to surround the two Pokmon, but were destroyed by the Mega Gengar. Two columns of smaller shadows of black and white appeared, forming a checkered pattern, and the two Pokemon carefully strike those with the same polarity as theirs.
Two huge shadows that resembled monorails emerged from below, with a black one on the left and a white one on the right. The cannons attached to them started to fire as the shadows moved horizontally to switch their vertical positions. Spiritas and Sorcerise headed for those of the same polarity, and proceed to destroy the cannons and finally destroying the cores of the shadows themselves.
A column of smaller shadows, with rows of two of the same colour moving sideways, along with two more huge shadows, appeared in front of the duo. The two Pokemon steadily destroyed rows of the same polarity alternatively, while at the same time destroying the cannons and vanquishing the huge shadows. The two then noticed the panicking shadows moving horizontally, three by three each colour, and proceed to destroy those of the same polarity.
"No! My armies cannot be destroyed!"
Yveltal immediately flew towards the duo, leaving Zygarde to face Xerneas and at the same time summoning even more shadows to attack the Aspect of Order.
"You dare to challenge me?! My armies are endless! Behold the true wrath of Destruction!"
(The face-off begins.)
Yveltal spreaded its wings and feathers, and released a swarm of dark energy particles at the duo. At the same time, its crest started to glow, and unleashed an Oblivion Wing, along with orbs of white energy that were conjured from its claws.
"They're in a bad shape!" Mixia gasped.
"Hide behind the Gengar, Sorcerise! Let it absorb the dark particles while you attack Yveltal!" Wizzy commanded.
Sorcerise followed its trainer's orders and positioned behind Spiritas. She kept on casting Moonblast while dodging the black particles, while Spiritas absorbed the incoming dark particles, and at the same time dodging the white projectiles creating from the orbs. When Yveltal stopped casting Oblivion Wing, Sorcerise used this opportunity to strike Yveltal's crest with a Moonblast.
The attack startled Yveltal, and immediately covered itself to convert into its white coloration. Swarms of light energy particles were released, while black orbs were thrusted from its claws. Yveltal opened its mouth wide, and unleashed a Dark Pulse at Sorcerise. As the Mega Gardevoir successfully dodged the beam of dark energy, she found herself being seperated from Spiritas, struggling to evade the white particles, and continuosly casting Shadow Ball at Yveltal. Sorcerise attempted to destroy one of the black orbs, while Spiritas attempted to block the dark energies of the beam, and when the Dark Pulse stopped firing, the Mega Gengar thrusted a Shadow Ball at Yveltal's head, startling it.
"You have not yet seen my supreme power!"
Yveltal covered itself and reverted back to its black coloration, with black and white orbs conjured from each of its talons. It then extended its wings and feathers completely, forming the letter 'Y', which it is based on. Black swarms of energy were released from its claw-like appendages, while white swarms of energy were released from its talons and mouth. While the two Mega Evolved Pokemon absorbed the particles of the same polarity as theirs', they also had to avoid the particles of the opposite polarity coming from the orbs. Yveltal then charged towards Spiritas by using Sucker Punch, leaving trails of dark energy in its wake, but Sorcerise used this opportunity to cast an energy release. With Yveltal being damaged by the light energy streaks, Spiritas and Sorcerise unleashed their Dazzling Gleam spells at Yveltal as it spread out its wings once more. As a finishing blow, Sorcersie and Spiritas unleashed a Moonblast and a Shadow Ball respectively at the Aspect of Destruction, knocking it out to the sky.
With the Aspect of Destrucion gone, the shadows started to fade into darkness.
"Great work, Sorcerise!" Wizzy cheered.
"So, the unity between Psychics and Ghosts seems to make sense, after all." Mixia commented.
"Is big demon gone now?" Jirachi asked.
"Yes, Yveltal is defeated." Wizzy replied.
"There's no time for celebration! The only threat remaining is Zygarde itself!" Sorcerise warned.
Mixia noticed Xerneas being outpowered by Zygarde. The colossal size of the Aspect of Order is definitely no match for the Aspect of Life itself, as it kept getting struck by its rain of arrows and its ability to form a thousand waves.
"Only you and myself remains now. The Aspect of Destruction is defeated, and I demand you to hand over your responsibility to myself."
"I will not be intimidated by your demands, nor even your power that of Arceus."
"Then do you want me to use force, in the form of my ultimate power, to transfer responsibility?!"
"The spirits have already voiced distrust upon you! Do you want to put the world into more chaos?"
"But they're already defeated the moment they strike the Aspect of Destruction! Why do you and your allies wish to join them? You can't feel the visible things. How can you feel the invisible things?"
"Because... The forces of fae and spirits are meant to be as one."
"Let go of Xerneas, colossal one." Mixia shouted.
"Foolish mortal, you have no right to command the servants of Arceus. All I did, was for the sake of the balance of the world."
"Does threatening Xerneas justify your status as the Aspect of Order?" Mixia added.
"She's right. You're just abusing your power to force Xerneas to hand over this 'watcher' role to you. While Xerneas traverses through the forests of Kalos, monitoring the condition of nature, you dozed back in your den, scaring off miners that enter your habitat, and yet you call yourself the Aspect of Order?!" Wizzy shouted.
"Yeah! Know what the psychic said? You're no order keeper, you're a big bully!" Celebi insulted.
"Prepare to meet your own justice..." said Jirachi as it cast a Doom Desire.
"But not before I decimate those who wish to threaten this region."
As Jirachi managed to release the streaks of light, Zygarde immediately unleashed its attack of a thousand waves at the Wishmaker, forcing it to succumb to the Aspect of Order. Sorcerise and Spiritas descended, preparing to face Zygarde.
"Order abused peace. Peace, does not dictate to freedom. Thus, Order abused freedom." Spiritas spoke.
"Now it's our turn to put you to rest." said Sorcerise.
"The light and the darkness... Do not think yourselves as the Aspects of Truth and Ideals. They fought against me once, but they're defeated. You will share the same fate as them."
(The final battle begins.)
Zygarde used its left winged front protrusion to protect itself, and the protusion released off swarms of black and white energies. Its back protusions then unleashed multiple streams of energies in black and white.
"This protusion is red in colour. Perhaps my attacks can devastate it?" Sorcerise thought.
"Look out for the opposing polarity energies!" Wizzy shouted.
Sorcerise kept attacking and casting energy release if she needs it, and at the same time absorbing projectiles of the same polarity, while Spiritas did the same as Sorcerise, although it does not much damage to Zygarde. With enough attacks to strike Zygarde, despite the intense swarms of particles, Zygarde's left protrusion became injured.
Zygarde then used its right front protrusion to cover itself, and the protrusion released even more projectiles than the previous one. The back protrusions released swarms of energies to further worsen the situation. Being lost in a huge rain of energies Sorcerise and Spiritas did whatever they could to evade those that do not match their polarities, and absorb those that do.
"It's blue in colour. Spiritas, strike it quickly!" Mixia shouted.
Spiritas continuously thursted Shadow Balls and Sludge Bombs at the protrusion. With the protrusion suffering much damage from the toxicity of the Sludge Bombs, Zygarde then revealed itself.
(Attacking Zygarde's main core begins.)
"Impossible! But remember this, the Dragons lost when they faced my real power. Be impaled by the thousand arrows, and be drowned by the thousand waves!"
Zygarde released streaks of green energy, with hints of black and white, which rained down onto the two Mega Evolved Pokemon. It then released its attack of a thousand waves, which neither Sorcerise nor Spiritas could remove, as these 'waves' have no polarity at all.
"Hey! Let me take in those wave things while you fight!" said Celebi as it formed an Energy Ball, "Take this, you big bully!"
As Zygarde was hit by the Energy Ball and provoked by Celebi, it put itself into an Outrage, which it kept swinging its claw-like hands at the two and the Time Traveller, but is nullified by Sorcerise's Fairy typing.
"You may have defeated Xerneas, but you will never defeat the powers of fae and spirits." said Sorcerise.
Zygarde then charged towards Sorcerise at a high speed by unleashing its Extreme Speed attack, but it was nullified by Spiritas' Ghost-typing.
"The spirits are restless. They scream, they wail, for freedom." said Spiritas.
Evading the thousand arrows and the thousand waves, the two immediately went for the head of Zygarde. Sorcerise continuously cast Psyshock on Zygarde's mind, which projectiles spread to its back protrusions, while Spiritas kept casting Shadow Ball. Though it took a lot of damage to force Zygarde down, the Aspect of Order is finally defeated, thanks to the Doom Desire attack which Jirachi cast earlier as the streaks of light rained down onto Zygarde. With its mind damaged by the Mega Gardevoir's continuous Psyshock, Zygarde began to topple like a tower falling apart, its 'cells' starting to disperse, and exploded with a bright green flash of light, with its soul and half of its remains returning to where it came from: the Terminus Cave.
"You have not seen the last of myself. There comes a day when Arceus cast its Judgement onto the mortal world! I cannot be defeated!"
Those were Zygarde's last words.
"I'm free!" Jirachi cheered.
"Well guys, we did it! We smashed two monsters with one stone, right? Or was it one bird and one big bully with one stone, wait, was it two stones again?" said Celebi.
"Two amorphous beings, to be precise." Wizzy responded.
Mixia's Ghost Pokemon brought in the fallen bodies of Wizzy's Espeon and Gothitelle.
"Magius. Mismagius-magius." Jauna stated about the Psychic-type Pokemon's condition.
"What?! Their life energy were drained by Yveltal's shadow minions? Oh no..." Wizzy responded, and collapsed.
"Maask..." a Yamask lamented.
"Mekino..." Furisa lamented too.
"We lament for your loss, Wizzy. And so do Lady Valerie's. But now, the spirits said they couldn't enter the Spirit World. They're bound to Yveltal." said Mixia.
"Do you know the loss of a person who lost all of their Pokemon to Death itself? That's how the loss looked like." said Valerie, while the Ghost Pokemon carried the life-drained corpses of her Fairies.
"The body count maybe low, but we should not understimate Yveltal." said Mixia.
"Perhaps I can..."
"How pitiable of you who lost your beloved creatures to me. Soon, you will join them, but there will be no afterlife."
"Yveltal is still alive?!" Mixia gasped in shock as she noticed Yveltal rose from its demise.
"How many you still wish to steal their souls? Do you want to turn this city into a cemetery?" Sorcerise shouted.
"The Great Kalos War... must not repeat!" said Spiritas as it and the Mega Gardevoir rose to face Yveltal once more.
This time, the two released mass amount of energy streaks of their polarity at Yveltal, but Yveltal took very little damage from the energies, and when the two used up all their energies, bursts of light can be seen from them as they fall to the ground. Wizzy and Mixia immediately took out the respective Poke Balls.
"My newfound power was destroyed after you defeated me, but that power was just a setback! Now, die under my real power of destruction and death, and soon, all of Kalos will follow!"
"Looks like we're not going to survive this..." said Wizzy.
Far from Laverre, a mysterious entity spread its bat-like wings, with six rays of light touching its head.
"Not on my watch."
The rays then formed into a huge beam that is made of from power of the moon, which striked Yveltal. The Aspect of Destruction could not withstand the devastation of the lunar beam as the beam hit its crest as it cast Oblivion Wing, and slowly the beam pushed back the Oblivion Wing, which then pushed Yveltal strongly. The Aspect of Destrucion was pushed very far from Laverre, and an explosion with spirits wailing could be heard.
"What... was... that?" said Wizzy in shock.
"I heard something. It came from the one who cast the beam of power." said Mixia.
"Oh, that's one of my allies. It must have awakened in response to the Sprites' awakening."
"So it's not Cresselia, right?" asked Wizzy.
"Of course not! You think Cresselia would have combined its Aurora Beam and Moonblast into one?" Mixia replied.
"Perhaps you should meet it in person. It is associated with the moon and the Spirit World."
"The moon and the spirits. I hope it is a Fairy like you are, Xerneas." said Valerie.
"If that legendary being is a watcher of the Spirit World, I'd be pledged to meet it." said Mixia.
"Now, would you let me revive the fallen ones of yours?"
"Definitely." Wizzy replied.
Xerneas stood in the position which it cast Geomancy. Its antlers glow in the colours of the rainbow, and its fae power revived those whose life forces perished under Yveltal, while spirits are released to reverse the damage caused to Laverre by Yveltal and its minions.
"Agh... What happened to me? I was in the underworld, then I'm back to here." said Magus after revival.
"In death, I felt I was close to the Spirit World, yet Yveltal dragged me to its dark torture chambers far from there. I was saved as the Aspect of Life brought me back to life." said Magika.
Valerie's Pokemon were happily embracing their owner as ther were brought back to life.
"Thank you for protecting my city, Xerneas, and restoring my Pokemon to life. All of us here are deeply grateful to you." thanked Valerie.
"As I'm bound to the mortal world, it is my duty to watch over life in Kalos."
"The world is safe for now. Tell the other residents that everything's back to normal, Lady Valerie." said Mixia.
"I know. I'll tell them the city is safe." said Valerie as she went off to tell the residents taking refuge in the Poke Ball Factory. Her Whimsicott waved hands at Xerneas, being glad to meet the Aspect of Life.
Xerneas then departs from the city.
"Do you think we'll meet again?" Mixia asked.
"Perhaps, young Shaman, in times of crisis."
"Farewell..." Mixia said as Xerneas left.
"I'm starting to realise something. Of all the Legendary Pokemon we know, you're the closest to Xerneas." said Wizzy.
"Maybe that's why I'm a Ghost Trainer after all," said Mixia, "Well, I'd better get back into completing the Pokedex. I still have a pretty long list to go. Jauna, Furisa, look after my house, will you?"
"Good luck!" Wizzy greeted farewell.
"Oh, and I hope you do well in your battles, mon amie et amour!" said Mixia as she hitched a ride onto her Drifblim.
Wizzy then stared at the Poke Ball which encapsuled his Gardevoir.
"You did well, Sorcerise... I never realised that you're part of the prophecy you foresaw." said Wizzy.
"I'm not going to face Yveltal once again." said Aether.
"I wish I could strike Yveltal perfectly... If weren't for it possessing your powers." said Astra.
"Let's go back to Camphrier," said Wizzy as he cast his teleportation spell, "I'm doing this for you, Sorcerise."
Wizzy and his Pokemon disappeared, leaving behind a trail of psychic energy.
"All's well end well! We managed to stop a cataclysm! Hey, Jirachi, do you want to follow me on my adventures beyond the boundaries of time?" asked Celebi.
"No! I can only grant wishes to humans for each time I awaken!" Jirachi replied.
"Oh come on! You can tell them that you just woke up from your thousand-year slumber and you're ready to grant wishes! It'll be fun!" said Celebi as it grabbed the Wishmaker's hand.
"No! I don't want to change history! What if their wishes worsen their lives! I don't want that to happen- waaaah!"
The green and yellow lights which summoned Celebi and Jirachi respectively swoop down onto them, teleporting the two in another timeline Celebi stated.
Author's note
Let me tell you: this took me one and a half month to write up this, and the time it is published is like two months from the start of the distribution of Zygarde.
The story is based off from the game I'm really into (don't ask me; click the links to the music), but I haven't own one yet. If you ever noticed, the battle between the Mega Pokemon and the shadows resembles the first level of that game. Ever noticed that the shiny colorations of the Kalos trio are white, while their normal colorations are black? I used that fact as the focus of this story, and not to mention implementing the elements of the game I'm into.
If you ever wonder what's the Clitoria, it's a flower that is found in Southeast Asia. Malaysians use the flower as colouring for the nasi kerabu, blue-coloured rice served with what's found in a plate of nasi lemak. In Thailand, some variants of the glutinous rice dessert, khao tom, are coloured blue due to the coloration of the flower. Clitoria tea does exist, though I don't see much of them.
When I heard of Complete Zygarde being able to outpower Xerneas and Yveltal, I see Zygarde as neutral in regards to the opposition between Xerneas and Yveltal. So in my story, I depict Zygarde as the order-keeper, while hostile towards Yveltal, it is aggressive in dealings with Xerneas.
For some reason, I'm more inclined towards the Moon legendary over the Sun legendary. Maybe because it has the types I love the most? Perhaps I should write a story involving it.
