Anistar, a dazzling city combining modern facilities and enigmatic vibes. Solar panels are seen on the roofs of every building, displaying the inhabitants' responsibility to the environment, due to their belief that the sun and the moon are responsible for the environment. The city is also famous for its enigmatic crystal sundial, which rings rotate when the sun sets, and stops when the moon rises. What of its origins and the purpose of its existence, is shrouded in mystery.
The city also hosts one of the most famous Psychics in Kalos, Olympia. A clairvoyant and a fantastic wielder of psychic powers, she can predict the future in near-perfect accuracy. Well, near-perfect. Many of the psychics scattered throughout the region are or used to be apprentices under Olympia, and perhaps one of the well-known psychics in this region is her senior apprentice, whom is only at his preteen years yet possessing tremendous energies of light and dark, Wizzy. Here, the boy is discussing with the Gym Leader about the recent sightings of entities that are unknown to Kalos: the Summoner of the Night, Lunala, and the Devourer of the Sun, Solgaleo.
"The emissaries of the Sun and the Moon. Their veils uncovered by themselves, along with the Sprites... I see a connection." said Olympia.
"The Sprites? Lunala appeared when I summoned Jirachi, while Solgaleo reveals itself when I called in Celebi... perhaps some traits of the Sprites have some connection to these two celestial entities?" asked Wizzy.
"Nature needs life. The Sun provides that life. Fire is created under the Sun. Celebi and Victini, bound by the emissary of the Sun." explained Olympia.
"And that means for Lunala..." Wizzy commented.
"The stars need a medium to shine. The Moon provided that medium. Music is mystified under the Moon. Jirachi and Meloetta, bound by the emissary of the Moon." Olympia added.
"So that means, the Sprites descended to inform me the arrival of the two!" said Wizzy.
"Indeed. A link between your energies and the emissaries uncovered. Lunala, darkness; Solgaleo, light." said Olympia.
"I shall look into it later. On the other hand, do you think the Sundial has something to do about Lunala and Solgaleo?" Wizzy asked.
"Perhaps, the enigma behind, is dedicated to the emissaries? I do not know." Olympia replied.
"Never mind, I'll look into that case deeper by myself. Oh, and I must go now." said Wizzy.
"Understood." Olympia greeted farewell.
Wizzy chants a teleportation spell, and disappeared in front of the Gym Leader.
Outside the Gym, a humanoid figure with arms that can extend as swords, with a Mega Stone attached on its head, along with a rocky being that resembles the sun, are waiting for their trainer's arrival. Wizzy appeared at the entrance of the Gym through teleportation.
"Good to see you guys. What brings you here?" greeted Wizzy.
"Our sun-shaped friend has something urgent to say." replied the Gallade.
A Solrock is usually expressionless judging from its lifeless eyes along with its eyelids displaying no interest in various things. However, Wizzy's Solrock open its eyelids wide, revealing its red eyes, giving the impression of excitement and anxiety.
"I shall not wait any longer! The Fiery Sprite, the Glory Bringer, will appear at any moment!" said the Solrock in an impatient expression and vibrating.
"At any moment?! Where is it going to descend?" asked Wizzy.
"The Terminus! The lair of the Aspect of Order!" the Solrock spoke in panic, appearing as it is about to cast Explosion in any second.
Two vulpine humanoid beings appeared by teleportation, along with a bat having a heart-shaped nose and a large blob creature.
"Hey there, hey there!" greeted the Reuniclus, then noticed the Solrock's unstable condition, "Uh, what's wrong with that rock?"
"Sigh... poor thing, it has been waiting for Victini's arrival five months after Wizzy first encountered Jirachi." replied a Delphox.
"Yikes, I haven't look after that thing for months. Don't worry, I promise to use it in the next battle," said Wizzy, "By the way, Meteorone and Meteorime, in which part of the cave is Victini about to descend.
"If our flames of clairvoyance are correct, Victini should appear at the interior entrance to the cave." replied another Delphox.
"If that's so, let's go! Sorcerade, look out for those incoming Durant that might be preparing an ambush. There has been an outbreak of these ants since the population of Heatmor at Route 18." said Wizzy.
The boy and his Psychic-type Pokemon immediately ran off to the eastern gate of the city, which leads to Route 18. As he is about to enter the gate, he heard a familiar voice: "Hey, you are not going to leave without my presence, Psychic prince!"
It turned out to be a blonde, twin-tailed girl, properly dressed in blue and white, albeit her midriff-baring top and a pleated miniskirt. Following her is a phantasm resembling a chandelier, four, small, purple humanoid creatures with gems as eyes, and a small shadow creature holding a mask. That shadow creature looked different from those that are commonly seen in the region; it has a greyish body opposed to completely black, yellow eyes instead of red, and the mask it held is made of silver.
"Mixia?! Why are you... Oh, I almost forgot about the whole 'Psychic and Shaman' in one place thing." said Wizzy in surprise.
"Glad you finally remembered it, and here's a special someone." said Mixia, pointing out her unique Yamask.
"Yama-yama!" the Yamask curled up itself and hid behind its mask.
"That spectral being is a shiny Pokemon?! It must have took you eons to obtain it!" exclaimed Wizzy.
"I had planned to hatch up a shiny Yamask a year ago, but I gave up about 500 unsuccessful hatchings later. When I completed the National Pokedex, I went back to breeding those things, hopefully for something special. And one and a half month later here am I with Horrifia!" Mixia explained.
"'Horrifia'? First time you named a Pokemon that sounded... chilling." Wizzy responded.
"I don't like the feeling of that thing!" the Woobat said in panic.
"Then ignore it, Familis." the Solrock responded.
"I let the Judge checked Horrifia's performance. It got what I wanted, except for a half of its endurance capability, which is somewhat disappointing. Regardless, I'm going to scare the life out of my opponents once it evolves into a Cofagrigus!" Mixia added.
"Hmm, good luck on that. Time to head to the Terminus." Wizzy replied.
The duo, along with their respective Pokemon, exited Anistar and prepared to head towards the Terminus Cave, the lair of Zygarde. In Wizzy's mind, he felt anxious about what would happen if they stumble on Zygarde once again, as he recalled Jirachi being terrified of Zygarde's power and Celebi mocking the Aspect of Order. He could not imagine how Victini would react to Zygarde.
"What ails you, Wizzy?" asked the Gallade.
"Nothing, Sorcerade. Nothing at all." replied its trainer.
Mixia turned her head towards her friend.
"You are going only six in a party with you, aren't you?" the girl asked.
"Yeah, only six shall do. I don't want to stir up another fight between our Pokemon when we looked for Celebi. Oh, and I disciplined them not to overreact towards other trainers' Ghost-types." said Wizzy.
"It sort of stinks, you know." said Familis.
"Well, as least we can be happy since we don't need to pull our powers against those phantasms!" said the Reuniclus, spinning happily.
"See? Blurry gets the point." Wizzy responded.
"Happiness is not in our kind's conscience." said the Solrock.
"Oh, sometimes you need to be cheerful as the sun, my sunny friend." Wizzy responded.
The duo soon reached the bridge heading to the Terminus Cave. Wizzy lent his hand towards Mixia, giving the impression that he wanted to help the girl to cross the bridge, even though she has been through there back and forth.
"Ready to charge to there?" asked Wizzy.
Mixia gasped in surprise. She has never been asked by a boy, especially her childhood friend, to cross over a simple, rope bridge, and there she was dazzled by the boy's eyes, blue as water, along with his optimistic expression.
"Uh, yeah. Let's go!" Mixia smiled, and hold the boy's hand.
The two hold hands, and ran over the bridge as a Swanna is about to take off to flight.
"They have grown up, haven't they?" said Meteorone in a peaceful manner.
"Chande-delure-delure?" the chandelier phantasm growled in confusion.
"Maybe it's because of my presence?" asked the Swoobat.
"It's not regarding about your presence. I believe they are trying to show Victini that they do care for each other. Remember what happened back in Santalune Forest? It wasn't pleasant." said Sorcerade.
"Yamask!" the mask-wielding ghost smiled.
"Hey! What are we waiting for, let's follow them!" said Blurry.
The Pokemon then catch up with their respective trainers, although the Sableye were left behind as they're too slow to catch up.
"Rayamirayai!" one of the Sableye growled.
"Oh, let me carry you to the other side." said Blurry as it turned back to carry up the Sableye. Attempting to carrying four of the Darkness Pokemon is not an easy task, as those creatures have a tendency to escape from the arms that are holding them. However, in this case, the Sableye are glued to the Reuniclus' gelatinous body.
"Uh, is everyone here yet?" said Wizzy as he and Mixia reached the other side of the Route.
"Almost there! Those naughty little kids are safe in my hands!" said Blurry.
"Ah, poor little creatures. First time seeing you glued into like this, Visili, Visiras, Visiron and Vis!" Mixia commented.
"Sable-raiya!" one of the Sableye snarled.
"Calm, Visili." Mixia commanded.
"You can remember those things' names?" said Wizzy.
"Hey, I still can remember a lot of others. Spectris, Bonesey, Spectria, Hallucina, Pyrome..."
"Chande-chandeluuure?!?" the Chandelure told Mixia to stop recalling names.
"Yes, Pyrome, I'll stop." said Mixia.
"Here we are, all in one place!" said Blurry as it shook itself to drop the Sableye on it, "Now, time to enter that cave, and let's hope we don't awaken that beast within."
"Let's go in. Meteorone, Meteorine, point out the exact location of Victini's landing." commanded Wizzy as the group entered the cave.
The Terminus Cave is full of fright and anxiety. Although the wild Pokemon residing in the cave are rarely an issue, one can still feel that the gaze of Zygarde is watching over, causing one to fear that the Aspect of Order would wake up and chase away those who enter.
The Delphox pointed at a spot next to the interior entrance to the cave.
"Are you sure that's the place? I don't think Victini could make a breakthrough here." said Wizzy.
"The Victini's most powerful attack, the V-Create technique, could break through even the hardest of walls." explained Meteorine.
"Well, I hope one doesn't end up breaking the fourth wall..." Wizzy commented nervously as he walked towards the destined spot.
The mysterious beam of light that summoned Celebi and Jirachi appeared. Wizzy can hear a phrase from the poem, being spoke as it came from Victini itself:
"Victory shall awaken hope in the darkest of caves..."
"Wait, should Victini be capable of breaking through barricades?" the Delphox spoke in confusion.
"Maybe it can't make a breakthrough. Hold on! I'll see what happened outside." said Wizzy as he teleported himself to the exterior entrance of the cave.
Wizzy noticed an orange rabbit-like creature, with pointed ears that form the letter V, and a pair of small, wing-like appendages attached to its hind legs, with its face on the exterior of the cave. He then psychokinetically lifted the creature towards his hands. The face revealed its adoringly large blue eyes, and once it got itself back to one piece, it started pouting.
"Agh great, now I can't pass through that cave!" whined Victini.
"What's the matter with you? You should have flied towards the entrance of the cave instead, instead of following what the light leads." said Wizzy.
"But I want to be like my brothers and sisters! I want to use my head to smash through everything!" Victini whined.
"But you can't make a breakthrough just now. If you can't do it, just don't do it. Simple." said Wizzy.
"Oh, come on, you don't understand the feeling of when my brothers and sisters are capable of fantastic powers while I can't break through the walls of a mere solid!" Victini whined again.
"So that means, your aren't capable of V-Create?" asked Wizzy.
"Of course! Arceus wasn't fair to me at my birth! And now Cresselia chose me to find the Psychic of Light and Darkness. Why couldn't she choose someone who is more powerful than me!" Victini complained.
"Uh, I'm the Psychic you're looking for," said Wizzy, "And you can't blame Arceus for your incapabilities; that is the result of fate."
"Fate? Well I'm fated to fail! Waaaahhhh!!!!" the Fiery Sprite cried.
"Don't cry, my little Aspect of Victory," said Wizzy gently as it hugged the Fiery Sprite, "You should feel proud that you're chosen by Cresselia, wait, or is it either Lunala or Solgaleo again?"
Wizzy teleported back to the destination where he is supposed to encounter the Glory Bringer, holding Victini.
Back in the previous spot, the Psychic-type Pokemon were waiting for their trainer's return. Wizzy then appear telekinetically, much to the surprise to his Pokemon that he was outside for only a couple of minutes.
"Swift indeed." the Solrock responded.
"Here's Victini. The good news is that it is in good shape; the bad news... it is incapable of V-Create." said Wizzy.
"What? Impossible! The Victini should be capable of the V-Create!" Meteorime gasped in shock.
"I'm starting to think that Arceus forgot to give that thing a blessing." said Familis.
"That's the first time I heard of a Legendary Pokemon coming with faults!" Sorcerade responded.
"Oh come on! I'm starting to get sick of hearing about my flaws!" whined Victini
"Try not to think of the negative aspects, guys. I have the impression that it is born to be unique from the others." said Wizzy.
"Unique? Do you not think of the problems it is going to face without that magnificent skill?" questioned Meteorone.
"I'm too weak! Too weak! Whaaaaa-aaaa!" the Victini whined, and then cried out loudly.
"See? This is the problem of you Psychics! You only wished for power and perfection of all things. All things are born equal, but not in terms of power and capabilities. This Victini was born with a fault. We must learn to accept it," said Wizzy.
Sorcerade then ran towards the Fiery Sprite.
"Victini, please don't cry," said Sorcerade gently, "My kind are capable of striking their foes from the shadows. I wasn't born with that skill, but I heard that those who have it were granted through human interference."
"Shadow Sneak? That's extremely useful. But I'd hate going through the hassle of breeding and raising up one of you just like how I raised Sorcerise with her Destiny Bond." Wizzy replied, "And by the way, there is a great drawback of using V-Create: After applying the technique, the user will suffer from extreme tiredness, unless it has enough vigor to keep on going."
"That's... disturbing. Our kind have never heard of this drawback that serious." Meteorime commented.
"Plus to be honest, I never appreciated V-Create. Too risky, unless you're a Rayquaza," Wizzy added, "And I think the lack of V-Create is a boon to it; it doesn't has to suffer from fatigue every battle!"
"Well, we'll agree with what you have said. Trying to beat up my foes up close does increases my chances of suffering from fatigue in battle." said Sorcerade.
"Uhm, I'm feeling fine right now." said Victini, "Does anyone know where's the Psychic I'm looking for?"
"Actually, it's me," said Wizzy as he let go Victini, "I'm waiting for what test you're coming up."
"Oh right, I didn't notice that. Let me see, ah, surviving an extremely powerful fire attack. But I can't do it since I'm not strong..." said Victini.
"Can you try to think of something more devastating, such as an Overheat?" asked Wizzy.
"Ah, I got it! Something that is really explosive is in my hand. You need two beings of the same kind to defend from this attack, which is part of the test." the Victini replied.
"We're ready for it." said the Delphox as they summoned their stick-like wands, which are capable of catching fire.
Wizzy cast a barrier of psychic energy around himself, and the Delphox crossed their wands, ready to withstand an incoming blow.
"Stand back, this is going to hurt a lot." Wizzy warned.
The V-shaped ears of Victini glow with extreme heat, and flames can be seen forming from the Victory Pokemon.
"Is that... the Searing Shot?" said Meteorone.
"Concentrate!" said Wizzy.
Victini then let go the flames from its body, creating a fiery nova along with fireballs shot from the Victory Pokemon to all directions. Anything that is struck by these fireballs will be scorched.
The Delphox surrounded themselves with a vortex of flame, shielding themselves from the incoming fireballs. The number of fireballs formed is so tremendous that you cannot evade from the Searing Shot, so Sorcerade was forced to unleash a barrier of psychic energy through Wide Guard, protecting the other Pokemon from the spray of fireballs.
When the move is done, much of the entrance is scorched. The rocks that settled in the cave became meteorites that just fell from the sky, and the Durant that couldn't escape the technique perished in flames. Wizzy and his Pokemon are left unscathed.
"I hope everyone is alright here." said Wizzy as he let go his shield along with the others doing the same too.
"I'm... quite impressed. Everyone seems to be alright." said Victini.
"Hmph. That was no big issue." said Meteorime.
"Whoa! Everything's on fire!" the Reuniclus gasped.
"We can handle this." said Meteorone as it and the other Delphox absorbed the flames into their wands.
"I hope everyone is... wait! Where's Mixia and the others?" Wizzy gasped in realisation.
"Uh, who's that 'Mixia' you're talking about?" asked the Fiery Sprite.
"She's my friend whom I grew up with. Uses Ghost-type Pokemon, such as Chandelure, if you heard of it. Has a cute stomach and she frequently exposes it. Let's just say that her battling skills are that of Shauntal of Unova." Wizzy replied.
"Well, looks like we're going to find her!" said Victini.
Wizzy then turned to his Pokemon.
"Guys... where did Mixia went when I'm gone...?" asked Wizzy.
"We'll explain everything." said Sorcerade.
What happened to Mixia and her Ghost-types? They were not present when Wizzy returned. In fact, while Wizzy left, Mixia sensed a malevolent voice coming from her mind, which is definitely not from the Spirit World, but from the Distortion World:
"I demand power... Order is guarding my power..."
"We tried to convince her that the origin of the voice has no good intentions, but we failed." Sorcerade finished explaining.
"Well, we have to find her quick. What is the most obvious place that one will visit in the Terminus?" asked Wizzy.
"Then there is only one answer... the lair of the Aspect of Order." replied the Solrock in a stern expression.
"Only a fool would dare to awaken Zygarde... we much reach Mixia before it's too late!" commanded Wizzy, "Sorcerade, mass teleport us near to the entrance of Zygarde's chamber!"
Sorcerade chanted an incantation that is similar to a Gardveoir's teleportation spell. The psychic and his Pokemon, along with Victini, disappeared telekinetically.
They then reappeared near to the entrance leading to Zygarde's chamber. Of course Wizzy would have known his way throughout the Terminus Cave since he got lost at there once, but when he entered the chamber of Order, he was unnerved by the visage of Zygarde and immediately teleported out of the cave.
"I don't think I'm going to like the look of Zygarde. Celebi and Jirachi told me that they didn't have a good time running into that monster." said Victini.
"Yeah, Zygarde became a colossal monster all of a sudden back there." said Wizzy.
Wizzy then used his telepathy to locate Mixia. To his horror, Mixia has entered the chamber.
"Wizzy! What is going with you now?" asked Familis.
"If I'm going to save Mixia... I have to face Zygarde for the second time..." said Wizzy, anxiously.
"And we should leave as soon as possible." said Sorcerade.
The team then entered the chamber, finding the Sableye, Pyrome and the Shiny Yamask asking for help, believing that Mixia has lost control of herself.
"Raiyamarai..." one of the Sableye wailed for help.
Mixia mindlessly walked towards Zygarde, whom was sleeping with its currently serpentine body coiled up. Although it seems that it is resting, the fact that it is impossible to tell whether its eyes are closed or not, even in its sleep, so there is no reason to be frightened of the Aspect of Order. However, strangely enough, she then turned to another direction to the northwest.
"Well someone made a good decision." said Blurry.
"I don't think so. I must check out." said Wizzy as he ran towards the path Mixia's taking.
Wizzy noticed that Mixia was going to retrieve one of the treasures Zygarde's guarding: the Griseous Orb of the Renegade Dragon, Giratina.
"Mixia, it's not worth to take the Orbs! This is one of Zygarde's duties. We do not want to face the wrath of Zygarde again!" said Wizzy, in a soft matter not to wake up the sleeping beast.
Yet, Mixia ignored Wizzy's warning, and walked towards the altar.
Wizzy tried to mind control her. He knew that it would be impolite for him to cast his mind control technique on his friend, or throwing whatsoever psychic powers he has on her, but at that moment he was pushed in to taking drastic action. His power didn't take effect however, as Mixia picked up the Griseous Orb.
"Darn, looks like I need to use physical measures..." he thought.
When Mixia turned around, he immediately rushed to touch her stomach, then releasing it immediately, hoping for a disturbance onto the girl's mindlessness.
It worked, but Mixia became infuriated by his friend's rudeness.
"Wizzy...! Why did you just hit my sensitive part?!' Mixia scolded.
"Ahem, why are you holding a sensitive artifact?" Wizzy replied.
Mixia noticed the Griseous Orb in shock.
"What?! What am I doing, holding that relic?" Mixia gasped in shocked.
"I have no idea. What's important now is that we need to put it back and get out of here!" Wizzy warned.
Mixia immediately put the Griseous Orb back onto the altar. She then shivered, terrified by the gaze she looked onto the Griseous Orb... if you were able to hear what ghosts can say to you, then you can hear Giratina roaring when you look at its orb.
"What's wrong, Mixia?" asked Wizzy.
"I... I don't know. I can see myself being plunged into the Distortion World..." said Mixia, frightened by the dark voice attacking her head.
"The Distortion World... Was Giratina forcing you to steal the Griseous Orb?!" asked Wizzy in shock.
"Y-y-yes... If I don't, it said it will destroy the link between my and the Spirit World!" said Mixia, appearing she was about to weep.
"I will have words with that monster." said Wizzy as he prepared to establish a telepathic link to the girl's mind.
Wizzy read into the girl's mind, detecting the dark voice was attacking the girl's mind. It was threatening to destroy the Spirit World, the link to the spirits' realm, and finally, kill her:
"Are you not afraid of death?! You are supposed to be Xerneas' chosen! The Shaman should always be in service of the realms of spirits and the nether, and I am no exception. You have failed me by showing your cowardice to Order, and your punishment will be your soul entering the darkest realms Arceus could never stride, and the Spirit World is now under my command!"
"I am not afraid to confront you, Renegade One. I'm prepared to let the Shaman escape. Confront the wrath of Zygarde... if you wish to obtain the source of the power of yours!" whispered Wizzy telepathically.
"I shall accept it... mortal."
The dark voice started to fade. Mixia was still crying of the voice's death threat.
"Giratina should not be trusted... Xerneas should have known this." Wizzy thought.
He then walked towards the girl, and then embraced her, hoping that the girl would stop weeping.
"That malevolent entity is gone from your mind. You should be safe now." said Wizzy.
"Thank you..." Mixia replied, in a blurred speech as a result of her crying.
"Let us get out of here. Victini is waiting for us!" said Wizzy as he hold on to Mixia.
Mixia smiled, knowing that her friend would always come to aid her in times of deep trouble, similar to what happened just now. The duo trod carefully, not to awaken Zygarde, while at the same time holding on to each other. Victini and Mixia's Pokemon were waiting for them at the chamber's entrance.
"Hey! It seems that you have brought back that girl you mentioned!" said Victini.
"Well, she's not in good shape because someone wanted her to steal one of the relics Zygarde's watching, and then it got dissatisfied and threatened her to rip her apart." said Wizzy.
"Okay, that's disturbing. Well let's get out of here and..." said Victini as it felt a disturbance.
The chamber started to tremble, and a dark portal was opened up. The tremors in the chamber caused Zygarde to awaken, and it was disgusted by what was happening as it awakened.
"Those two mortals again! What do you plot against myself, ensuring the destruction of my lair?"
Victini then flew towards the Aspect of Order's serpentine head.
"Attacking you?! Bah! Those trespassers are just hanging around," shouted Victini at Zygarde and then spoke in a soft, timid voice, "...and some malevolent entity tried to take control of one of the trespassers and... RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!!! That malicious entity is the real threat!"
"What did you mean that malicious entity is the..." Wizzy then noticed the dark portal growing in size, "Oh for Arceus' sake..."
Out of the dark portal appeared a giant, dark draconic entity with three pairs of legs, feet encrusted in gold, a pair of shadowy wings with three red horns on each wing. It's visage is terrifying to look at, a heartless face
"Xerneas' chosen... your punishment has brought aforth! In death, you shall never find peace..."
"I do not care whether you are related to Xerneas or not, but leave the chamber with peace, Renegade One, or I shall call forth my forces against you."
"You...! Aspect of Order... You sealed my power for millennia!!"
"But this was only less than a decade! Remember when the Vile One, Cyrus, granted you the true Griseous Orb, to annihilate all of Sinnoh, and imprisoned the Aspects of Time and Space? Arceus was forced to intervene, imprisoning you in Distortion. I was chosen by Arceus to seal the Orb away, and now you use these two mortals to steal it."
"This is contradicting..." Wizzy thought
"Time in the Distortion World is different from your world..."
"Can you two please sign a truce and leave the Psychic and his girl alone?" Victini shouted.
Giratina noticed the Victory Pokemon and immediately charged towards it.
"There is no truce in Distortion!"
"AAAAHhhhhhh!" Victini screamed when being pursued. Wizzy set up a barrier of psychic energy behind Victini, blocking Giratina's pursuit.
"Stop this madness, Giratina! You inflicted the deepest wound into whoever you called Xerneas' chosen!" shouted Wizzy.
"She has failed! Do you not understand, mortal, humans are meant so serve gods as myself!"
"You are not a god! Mixia is an ally of Xerneas, and she never served what you call 'gods'!" Wizzy's shouting became more fierce, while the girl became terrified even further and started to cry silently...
"Imbeciles... The girl must die!"
"I won't let any legendary Pokemon harm my Mixia. Come forth if you want to! I shall wait Arceus' Judgement onto you!" Wizzy shouted again.
Giratina charged towards Wizzy as if it were a blinding shadow. It was, oddly, stopped by Zygarde using Extreme Speed.
"You shall not pass, Giratina! I may not be sided with those pathetic mortals, but multidimensional beasts like you must not interfere with the world of mortals. Come forth, armies of the Earth, unleash the wrath of Order on this dread interloper!"
The armies summoned by Zygarde were none other than the reptilian bone wielders, the Marowak. Why Zygarde chose these Pokemon as it soldiers remains a mystery, but one cannot defy the spiritual prowess and the physical strength these Pokemon wield.
Zygarde unleashed 'waves' of green hexagonal shapes of power at Giratina, hindering its movements. The Marowak then threw their bones at Giratina like a boomerang, hitting the target then returning to their owners.
"You know, this is pure ridiculousness..." Victini commented.
"You are not the only one who can call forth these creatures... The Spirit World is now under my command. The power of the dead shall annihilate you!"
The dark portal intensified this time summoning creatures that resemble the Marowak. The differences between these creatures and the Marowak are they are blackish in colour, with symbols on their skulls signifying themselves as warriors of the Spirit World, their bones glow with spectral flame, and not to mention they're much lighter and slimmer than their earthly cousins. These spiritual Marowak infused their bones with spiritual energy and beat their earthly cousins to death. More Marowak, both earthly and spiritual spawned in increasing numbers from the ground and the Spirit World respectively.
"The spirit warriors! They started to turn against us!" shouted Mixia while still in tears.
"Not when they're put to rest!" Wizzy responded and shielded himself and his pseudo-lover with a barrier of psychic energy.
Meanwhile at the entrance of the chamber, the duo's Pokemon were watching the carnage, discussing about their next plan.
"Rayairyamai!" one of the Sableye talked in a gibberish language.
"What did you mean you cannot attack those 'spirit warriors'? They nothing but Marowak!" Sorcerade replied.
"I think it meant those phantasms are sacred," Meteorime explained, "But if they're corrupted by an unholy entity, would they no longer be considered sacred?"
"Lure! Chandelure-lure!" Pyrome groaned with a sign of conscience.
"See? Even this Chandelure got it right." the Delphox added.
"Mask! Yamask! Mask!" Horrifia groaned in anger.
"What? You want to fight them?" asked Familis.
"Yamask, mask!" Horrifia used its silvery mask to slap the Swoobat.
"I think this Yamask is right, we better save our trainers before something bad happens to them," commanded Sorcerade and noticed the Marowak, both earthly and spiritual, fighting each other and surrounding Wizzy and Mixia, "Look at those Marowak! Their numbers keep growing as long as Zygarde and Giratina are still around!"
"Let's fight and blast them to fun!" said Blurry happily.
"This is not fun! We are going to be decimated in here!" said Solrock in a panicking yet serious expression.
"You know, I believe that you shouldn't be serious about..."
"Stop the nonsense here! I must achieve Mega Evolution at this instant. Chaaarge!" Sorcerade rammed towards the horde of Marowak.
One of the Gallade's elbow blade glows with psychic energy, while another glows with dark energy. It hurls this psychic energy at the earthly Marowak through Psycho Cut, while slicing the spiritual Marowak with its darkly infused blade through Night Slash. The other Pokemon immediately rushed into battle, with the Delphox incinerating the earthly Marowak with Heat Wave and Fire Blast respectively, while the Sableye, ignoring whether these spiritual Marowak are sacred to them or not, did a lot of nasty tricks at them: Visili cast Calm Mind then Snarled, Visiras Taunted them and Sucker Punching each one by one plus retaliating with Metal Burst, Visiron Knocked Off their shadowy bones, and another stretching its shadows to attack the Marowak's focus through Shadow Sneak, and also retaliating with Payback.
The Swoobat roosted itself like a bat, casting Calm Mind then unleashing its Stored Power at those came near to it. Blurry cast Psyshock and Focus Blast at everything it could. The Solrock unleashed Will-o-wisps at the earthly Marowak and cast Rock Tomb at the spiritual Marowak.
Sorcerade, Horrifia and Pyrome managed to reach the barrier Wizzy's holding on as the Marowak were driven to attack the Psychic and Ghost Pokemon.
"Glad you made it, Sorcerade." said Wizzy.
"Delure-lure." Pyrome groaned, noticing its trainer is still crying.
"Yes, it's impossible to make a cute girl stop crying in situations like these..." Wizzy responded.
He noticed the fight between Zygarde and Giratina are getting closer to the Griseous Orb. Giratina then immediately snatched the Orb.
"It's too late now, Aspect of Order. The power is now contained within me!"
As Giratina grasped the Orb, its legs transformed into horns, giving Giratina the appearance of a giant serpent. Its shadowy wings became tentacles. It became a monster of nightmares even comparable to the Aspect of Nightmares, Darkrai.
"Maaask!!" Horrifia screeched in ode to its name, horror.
"This is going horribly... Activate Mega Evolution, now! And get that Victini to sweep those Marowak!" shouted Sorcerade.
"I will..." said Wizzy as he activated his Mega Ring located on his right wrist.
Under the embrace of Mega Energy, Sorcerade's head crest became curved and sharper, it's green torso became pure white, its feeler on its torso became pale, its elbow blades became permanently extended with a red psionic blade forming on each arm. It developed protrusions that resemble a cape.
"I can fight by my own. Do not worry about me, Wizzy!" said the Mega Gallade.
"Go on! I'll get Victini back to action!" shouted Wizzy.
Sorcerade immediately charged towards the two opposing legendary Pokemon. The blades glowed with dark energy and sliced Giratina.
"Justice shall be brought forth!" shouted Sorcerade as it cast Night Slash.
"Do not provoke me!"
Harmed by the attack, Giratina immediately disappeared into the unknown.
"You're next!" said Sorcerade as it prepared to cast Psycho Cut.
"I believe you're taking the title of 'warrior' too lightly."
Sorcerade's blades glow with psychic energy and then hurled these psychic strikes at the Aspect of Order. Disrupted by the psionic blades, Zygarde unleashed its rain of Thousand Arrows onto the Mega Gallade. Sorcerade deflected every streak of energy that's about to hit it with its psychic blades. Knowing Giratina is about strike it with Shadow Force, Sorcerade retreated so the Shadow Force hits Zygarde instead.
"It seems your skills are quite respectable."
"I shall not stop until Giratina is banished back to the Spirit World." said Sorcerade.
Meanwhile, Mixia attempted to run away from the swarming Marowak hordes. Horrifia flew towards her side.
"Mask! Mask!" Horrifia told its trainer not to cry.
"What do you mean I should stop crying?! I can no longer call upon the Spirit World. I'm powerless!" Mixia wailed.
Noticing the hordes of Marowak swarming towards Mixia, Horrifia covered itself with its silvery mask. Miraculously, streaks of light glow from the Spirit Pokemon, indicating that the Pokemon is undergoing evolution.
When the Marowak got close to Mixia, they suddenly got intimidated by something horrific, with many of them running away from something. It was a nightmarish monster shaped like a coffin, with a silvery body instead of gold, along with a death mask headpiece that resembles ancient Egyptian coffins', being silver and pink strangely, its shadowy face displaying a mean grin and red glowing eyes. While it may seemed laughable, the coffin gave the impression that it belonged to a fallen cruel female ruler of an ancient kingdom. Its nightmarish appearance was contributed due to its four large arms made out of darkness. It was the horror of crypt robbers... Cofagrigus.
"Do not touch the Shaman!" Horrifia wailed in a wretched feminine voice.
It seems that this Cofagrigus was possessed by a spirit. When Ghost-type Pokemon evolve in situations where their trainer is under dire threat or foresaw their trainer's death by evil deeds imposed on the trainer, it is said that a powerful spirit would possess the Pokemon, heightening its capabilities and fight to protect its trainer until the spirit's essence is extinguished or the threat is gone. That happened when Mixia Mega Evolved her Gengar to battle Yveltal in Laverre.
Much of the Marowak would had run away at the sight of the Coffin Pokemon, but the spiritual Marowak weren't intimidated, instead charging towards it. When they're about to whip threw ghastly bones at Horrifia, they found themselves being grabbed by the coffin's shadowy arms, then the Cofagrigus opened its coffin armour, revealing its innards, and finally threw its victims into its body, with its coffin lid shutting them from the light. Given their wailing sounds crying for help, it seems that those who were trapped in Cofagriugus' body were either teleported or banished to the Spirit World, never to return back to the mortal plane again.
"Horrifia... You... evolved..." Mixia said in a faint voice while her tears were still seen.
Fueled by the spirits it consume, Horrifia then levitated a Marowak. The coffin's eyes glow blood red, and the Marowak was attacked by the spirits of its fallen brethren Horrifia released upon their 'death'.
On the other hand, Wizzy got to Victini, hiding away from the carnage. Of course, Wizzy had to clear a path to reach Victini among the crowds of Marowak, by releasing streaks of light and dark energies to knock back the incoming Marowak, while Pyrome protected its trainer by continuously casting Shadow Ball at the Marowak, with one explosion knocking back a group of Marowak and another.
"Victini! We need you to push back those monsters!" shouted Wizzy.
"But there's too many of them! We're outnumbered!" cried Victini.
"Not when you unleash that Searing Shot of yours!" Wizzy replied.
Victini got struck by thought. Its expression changed from cowardice to bravery and heroism.
"Wizzy! I think I have an idea!" said Victini as it rushed towards the very center Zygarde slumbered.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhh..." Victini's ears glow with extreme heat...
"Brace yourselves!!!!!" Wizzy used all of his psychic energies he could to protect his Pokemon, the Ghost-type Pokemon, and the Ghosts' trainer.
"..aaAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Victini unleashed its fiery nova again, coupled with fireballs to scorch everything around it. All the Marowak that were fighting which each other perished in the flames, scorched to ashes, while others remained seriously burned. Thanks to Wizzy, Mixia and both of their Pokemon remained unharmed by the Searing Shot.
"Is it... over now?" asked Mixia, timidly.
"I better pray it is," Wizzy replied, "Now I can focus on my efforts on banishing Giratina."
Wizzy then teleported to the section where the Griseous Orb is found. He noticed his Mega Gallade seriously injured in the fight, while being able to misdirect Giratina to attacking Zygarde, it could not do it any more, with each misdirection it has to face Zygarde's Thousand Arrows and Thousand Waves even more.
"Is your life force extinguished..."
"Not even... once!" Sorcerade struggled, "I shall not stop until you're begone!"
"Back to the Distortion World you came from!"
Zygarde unleashed its Outrage, its green scales glowing with draconic energy.
"Never! My power is is restored rightfully to me now!"
Giratina cast an Outrage that is more furious than Zygarde's, borrowing the dark energy from the Distortion World to push back Zygarde to the center of the chamber. Sorcerade was unable to dodge the Outrage and got pushed to the walls of the chamber.
"Sorcerade! No!" Wizzy gasped in shock.
"I... failed..." the Mega Gallade said its dying words, holding its hand out to its trainer.
"Wizzy! The Marowak are attacking again! Your Pokemon are down by them! Even my Sableye could not stand a chance!" Mixia shouted.
This time, more Marowak kept spawning, causing Mixia to ran towards the center.
"It's hopeless..." Wizzy thought.
"Delure!!!" Pyrome wailed in panic as it got surrounded by the spiritual Marowak beating it with their ghastly bones.
"Their numbers are overwhelming. Surely there must be a solution..." Horrifia wailed.
Suddenly, two streaks of light, one glowing with the radiance of the sun, and another glowing with the light of the moon, emanated into the chamber. A flash of light appeared from the radiant light, revealing a white, metallic leonine creature with its mane resembling the sun, while the dim ray revealed a skeletal battish creature appearing out of thin air, with wings forming a starscape.
"Back down, wretched monsters. Let the wrath of the Sun perish your body!"
"Do not come close to the Shaman, lest the wrath of the Moon disintegrates your soul."
"The Guardian has arrived!" Horrifia shrieked with delight.
"What in Arceus?! Solgaleo and Lunala?!" Wizzy gasped in shock.
Solgaleo charged towards the earthly Marowak like a burning meteor being touched by the sun's flare through Sunsteel Strike. Lunala focused onto the swarming spiritual Marowak, with its wings speard out, gathering lunar energy to unleash a Moongeist Beam of spiritual energy at them. Not many Marowak survived the impact of the Devourer's charge, while those trapped by the Summoner's beam banished and sent back to the Spirit World. Those who survived retreated in fear of the celestial entities.
"Yaraaaaiii..." Visili attempted to extended its left arm after being trampled by the Marowak.
Lunala then charged towards the Renegade Dragon, in a stance readying to cast another Moongeist Beam.
"Giratina! Why did you took over the Spirit World by force, and harming the young Shaman? No doubt Arceus has imprisoned you for millennia..."
"None shall give me orders! The Aspect of Order has stolen my source of power! Emmisary of the Moon, you must know you shall be down by my power!"
"But there is a reason why Arceus imprisoned you: To prevent you from unleashing irreversible violence onto this world. Given how you took over the Spirit World, it seems this is your true plan..."
"Never! The source of my power is my rightful claim!"
"Deceit! Release the Shaman now, even if you are not touching her!"
"I never knew the lunar emmissary is extremely protective of Mixia." commented Victini.
Lunala cast another Moongeist Beam, this time with full power that the intensity caused it to reveal its glowing thrid eye, and its wings glowing with pure light. In anger, Giratina charged towards Lunala, preparing to use Shadow Force at the lunar emissary.
"I couldn't agree with you more. More protective than me." Wizzy replied.
"Even the spirits tremble in fear upon the sight of the Guardian." Horrifia commented.
"When were you allowed to speak, pinkish coffin?" Wizzy and Victini asked.
The intensity was extremely strong, and upon striking Giratina, it immediately disappeared into thin air, apparently to be banished back to the Distortion World.
"Must you use brute force to banish a villain? You're a bystander when it comes to conflicts."
"You must know you also use brute force, Solgaleo. You do not know my true power."
"And I should be responsible for banishing Giratina! I am the hand of justice!"
"You should be representing Strength instead. The villain attempted to break the balance of life and death by killing the Shaman, so I have the right to interfere."
"Shouldn' you be good at negotiation?"
"It's never the solution in these problems like this."
"Giratina's banished. At last..." said Sorcerade, dyingly.
"I think you better get some rest, Sorcerade. You're in an extremely horrible condition." said Wizzy as he withdrew his Gallade into its Premier Ball.
Lunala then flew towards the Aspect of Order.
"Zygarde, I have a reason to descend in the Terminus other than banishing Giratina. You must agree with one condition: Do not attack the Psychic and the Shaman the next time you encounter these mortals."
"Mortals interfere with the creations of Arceus! Do you not see the evils that sided with the mortals?"
"Do you wish to fight alone, only to find yourself consumed by chaos? When the figures of light and darkness defeated Yveltal, you then fought Xerneas while Yveltal used that time to regain its power. I was forced to take action, unleashing the final blow to the beast as I observed the battle in darkness!"
"There is a bias in your statement; you're allies with Xerneas. He refused to give up the title of guardian to Order. Spiritual entities like yourself cannot be trusted."
"I say you're wrong in the first place when Arceus put you in Kalos!" Victini interrupted the negotiation.
"I am never wrong, dwarf! You shall soon know the terrible fate of siding with mortals! Your kind have suffered this outcome when they got near to them..."
Enraged, Lunala's wings glow with lunar and fae energy, then unleashed a Moonblast at Zygarde.
"I can't believe Lunala is very aggressive in its dealings." said Mixia.
"With pure honesty, the spirits were more afraid of Lunala than all of the other guardians combined." Horrifia added.
"Fool! I did what is right for the Spirit World and the mortal plane!"
"I concede... Never to strike the Psychic and the Shaman again when they cross paths with myself, and aid them should they encounter situations of direst chaos."
"I pray you accomplish your duty as the Aspect of Order. You must preserve the balance of the land, not destroying mortals which you see as a threat."
"Yup! Leave the two alone!" Victini smiled.
At the same time, Wizzy and Mixia were cleaning up the mess by recalling back their Pokemon fainted in the carnage.
"My duty is done. I can now rest..." the spirit residing Horrifia left the Coffin Pokemon, returning to the Spirit World. The coffin shut its shadowy face with its headpiece closed, and its shadowy arms dissipating into darkness, falling into a state of inactivity as Mixia returned it into its Poke Ball.
"You know what, I better leave now. I came to the Terminus only to pass the test of the Glory Bringer," said Wizzy as he prepared to cast a teleportation spell, "Victini, I'll help you get back to home."
Mixia ran towards Wizzy, and holding her childhood friend's arm. "Bye, Lunala!" she said.
"I'm glad to welcome your presence, Solgaleo." said Wizzy as he is about to teleport.
"Maybe you be guided by the Sun's radiance."
"Do not worry, young Shaman. I shall restore order to the Spirit World."
Wizzy, Mixia and Victini disappeared from Zygarde's chamber.
Outside of the Terminus Cave, Wizzy teleported to there, out of the chamber.
"I'm never entering that place again." Wizzy commented.
"I'm ever gladder than you! You have passed the test of faith!" Victini leaped with joy, "Now I can go back to Cresselia's and get the Relic Sprite ready for the final test."
"The Relic Sprite? Is it Meloetta?" Wizzy asked.
"Oh come on! You spoiled it!" said Victini frustratingly.
"I'm more intelligent than you think. Anyhow, have fun with the other Sprites!" Wizzy greeted farewell.
"Alright. I'll see you again when you need me!" said Victini as he was shone by the mysterious light, then an orange light swoops down on the Fiery Sprite, teleporting it to the Sprites' realm and faded.
Wizzy then turned to Mixia.
"You're alright back there, Mixia?" Wizzy asked.
"I felt extremely uneasy back there. I could do nothing against those monsters," Mixia replied and then embraced Wizzy, "I'm glad my Psychic prince was there with me."
"I wouldn't agree. I believe Lunala saved you from Giratina, even though it delayed in appearing in front of those beasts." Wizzy replied.
"No, I think you did a fantastic job in rescuing me, as usual." said Mixia as she released Wizzy, smiling cutely at him.
"Uh, it's my duty to do so?" Wizzy blushed, "I need to get back to Anistar to tell Lady Olympia what happened back at the Terminus,"
Wizzy then crossed the bridge of Route 18.
"Good luck in your professional battles, Wizzy!" said Mixia.
"I will." Wizzy replied.
Author's note
About time I finished writing this. Final exams are finally over and I can finally concentrate on the things I need to be done and not getting nagged by my parents. The last part looks rushed I'd say.
Sorcerade Mega Evolving. Sigh, I wish I could get the Galladite in XY. Imagining a Gallade using Wide Guard is pretty awesome too. If Game Freak continued working on whatsoever Kalos remake, say Z or X or Y squared, they'd better include Gallade's Mega Stone in those games. Mega Gallade is the best Mega Evolution. Ever!
I see how Giratina is meant to disrupt Order. I wonder if antimatter represented Chaos... If that's true, then the battle between Zygarde and Giratina would make sense. Also, did you notice that Alolan Marowak looks like a spirit warrior? I'd imagine lots of them inhabiting the Spirit World, deterring anything that is a threat to the spirits or Xerneas.
Solgaleo and Lunala appeared in this story. Yes, I'll assume that it takes place in the timeline before Sun and Moon. I felt I described them too overpoweredly. Speaking of which, the intro for Sun and Moon is too awesome to handle!
Time to prepare for Meloetta. 2016's a rough ride for me.
