Mewtwo: Diancie was here to confront Kyogre, however, they chose to attack us, I dealt with the threat accordingly.
TapuKoko: ... Hmm. I see. Good.
Raikou: Oh? You are fine with this?
TapuKoko: Swift decisions like that are acceptable to me, however, Mewtwo, how is this plan compromised?
Mewtwo: I’m sure I mentioned this before, but Genesect’s role in my plan was to try and locate Rocket by following the faint threads of his prior travels, someone with whatever his hatred of humanity is wouldn’t just up and vanish unless it was serious... While I don’t know exactly how, Genesect was murdered by either Giratina or Diancie utilizing the power of corrupted, fake Regi, this is the reason my plans were set back-Genesect found Rocket, but was struck down before we could be informed. Then Giratina’s whole attack happened in Orre... sigh...
TapuKoko: So this Rocket is important to what exactly?
Mewtwo: The initial plan was to use Rocket to manipulate Reid and Vris into laying low, truly vanishing from view... at least... that was my theoretical plan-if we could get Rocket to communicate with us.
TapuKoko: Alright, so he chose not-
Mewtwo: He’s dead, Rocket is dead.
TapuKoko: ... What-
Mewtwo: The only thing we found of him was... what I can assume is his ghost.
TapuKoko: How can you be so certain?
Darkrai: Let me fill you in, sparky...
Darkrai: Kyogre’s deeper inside this cavern and even they confirmed that the one who initially came to them was a Politoed... This overgrown bag of water is likely the Rocket we’re seeking... but I have doubts that his former partners in crime will take too lightly to seeing a ghost of him.
Cresselia: At the moment we arrived, some sort of training was being conducted, and Rocket was in this sleeping state. Before you ask, no, he is not Kyogre’s Proxy, at least that much we can tell...
TapuKoko: ... Fair enough... so what’s our next move?
Mewtwo: I’m going to Orre...
TapuKoko: Of course... I recieved word recently that TapuLele and TapuFini are there as well, with Celebi.
Mewtwo: What? Why?
Darkrai: Not another fight there... if it is, I’m staying as far away from any weird energies, got it?!
Raikou: Entei also went there...
Mewtwo: And I tasked Lugia to watch over Reid and Vris...
TapuKoko: Do you have any idea what may be happening there?
Mewtwo: One of two options, right?
Cresselia: I apologize, but... I am lost.
TapuKoko: I came here to inform Mewtwo of a theory we came across after our own investigations... apparently, the former trainer of my Proxies met with a young human who claims to have been-essentially-brought back from the dead by someone we assumed was long lost to Ultra Space. It turns out they’ve managed to obtain an unfathomable amount of power and are existing under what we assume is an alias: “R-Teddy”.
Mewtwo: ... I thought we could ignore that thing...
Darkrai: Wait, the hell? You know about... whatever that is?
Cresselia: And you do as well, Darkrai?
Darkrai: I swear it’s the thing that forced me out of Reid’s nightmare before Orre...
Mewtwo: ... I knew enough... my Proxy was “investigating” it while keeping an eye on Mew... it became a focus of the Strident Knights alongside their main targets after whatever happened to that “Kryona” place... hmm...
Raikou: Entei originally went to Orre to confront Lugia after we felt their power flare up, and from my understanding, it was a fight between various Pokemon, among them this Reid and Vris... all of which defeated Lugia.
Darkrai: ... Heh...
Mewtwo: No overreaction?
Darkrai: I wouldn’t fight those two, and all I’ve done is feed off of a few occasional nightmares... they’re not pushovers if you actually force them into a corner...
Mewtwo: Either way... can you two inform Rocket of what’s happened? Whenever he wakes?
Cresselia: Of course, speaking for Darkrai, I feel this is the safer option for us, we’re not as resilient as the rest of you...
TapuKoko: So, why are you leaving so suddenly, Mewtwo?
Mewtwo: I can feel them again... Mew... they’re back...
Mewtwo: Whatever this, I’m assuming barrier, made it hard to get here via teleport... why is it storming in Hoenn? Is this your doing?
Raikou: No, and I could not find anything relating to Rocket save for this sudden storm, though I assume Kyogre’s awake, possibly, and... upset about something.
Mewtwo: Not like it matters...
Raikou: Right, there’s nothing much left of this land, is there...?
Mewtwo: Flying here-no-cities are barren, outside of us here, and what I’m hoping are Kyogre and Groudon’s presence... there’s nothing here, no thought, or life I could find...
Raikou: It’s safe to say Giratina’s plot worked out here?
Mewtwo: ... We’re getting side-tracked. What IS happening here?
???: About time you got here, Mewtwo! We found out what happened to Diancie!
Mewtwo: Diancie...? Darkrai... what is that?
Darkrai: Don’t know, but I am not getting closer than this!
Raikou: I also fear getting closer to it, it appears to be a crystal, but there’s this unpleasant aura about it...
Darkrai: I don’t know what this crystal nonsense is supposed to be-
Cresselia: As I mentioned before, it feels similar to those massive Regi we were attacked by the last time we ventured near here... and if it’s safe to believe what Meloetta mentioned they discovered from their Proxy, the Proxy of the Regi was presumably trapped within them-they were living cages-which means that crystal could become something similar to us-
Darkrai: Tch... I should’ve just went with Victini and Meloetta... maybe their plan’s going better... So, the hell do we do about it? It’s difficult to get here, and I assume you can’t leave once you get inside of this pink barrier BS...!
Cresselia: I have no idea...
Raikou: So, is it safe to assume Diancie is planning to trap us here, to keep us out of their way.
Diancie: Correct! I have my own reasons for meeting with Kyorgre, and I do not need any of you in my way~
Mewtwo: ... Okay...
Raikou: Are you alright, Mewtwo?
Mewtwo: No, Arceus has gone seemingly quiet for no clear reason, either Diancie or Giratina murdered Genesect, a Legend who likely cannot reincarnate since humanity altered their true form-thanks team Plasma...
Raikou: Similar to you, Genesect was always a rare case, though.
Mewtwo: I’m aware, but that doesn’t change the fact that an entire Region is empty of life, Genesect is gone and some sort of barrier made it impossible to get here when I assume this all happened... and somehow this isn’t known by humanity yet-
Raikou: If it’s similar to your teleportation, maybe they can’t get in contact with anyone, plus I assume this incident is very recent-
Mewtwo: Humans have planes, phones, boats, and Pokemon they can travel with, Raikou, there’s something else going on here-
Diancie: Correct!
Mewtwo: Grr....
Diancie: Giratina made it pretty much impossible to enter Hoenn during the whole purge plan, and after a couple tries and fails, most humans gave up! And any that decided to get close after? I dealt with them! The Regi cleared the rest of the trash away-just like Father wants!
Meloetta: That’s Faraway Island as the humans call it, right? Mew’s domain?
Victini: Normally only Mew can go there, among the Legends nowadays... unless they’re taken there by a human or are invited... Mewtwo, is that a good idea?
Mewtwo: I think it is.
Darkrai: If that’s what happens, that’s fine! We’ll still get Mew to do what we need them to do!
Cresselia: You just want more Shadow Pokemon dreams to feed off of...
Darkrai: SHuT Up!!!
Mewtwo: Shadow Pokemon are too unstable... I mean, Multres, Articuno and Zapdos are Shadow Pokemon-they’re just good at supressing it, so is Entei.
Darkrai: Hold on, what-
Mewtwo: Orre is not a place to be... trust me on this... Celebi’s stories are one hell of a ride...
Darkrai: Where was I when this happened???
Mewtwo: I don’t know, sleep?
Darkrai: I DON’T sleep-
Victini: Let him go if he’s going to go...
Meloetta: Wait, why-
Victini: Because we’re wasting time, right? Fath-I mean-Arceus could decide the next ‘challenge’ or Giratina could pull another stunt any minute... we need to get to Hoenn before something else stops us...
Cresselia: I’m glad your head injury didn’t scramble your mind too much!
Mewtwo: Get a hold of yourself, you’re basically a god, crying is worthless.
King: oh, so you’ve never cried? Are you sure you’re a Pokemon? Maybe you and the Team Machine creatures fit better toge-
Mewtwo: Man, even though you’re not a direct reincarnation of Mew, you spit the same shit they did...
King: ...
Mewtwo: Subject matter: You.
Mewtwo: Yeah, we're exactly the same, you're not Mew. You're a bi-product, a punishment-you represent the very thing you hate: you were created, not reborn, just like me.
King: You’re wrong!
Mewtwo: You don’t even call yourself “Mew”. Instead you’re “King,” just like me-Mewtwo. We’re abominations, you’re just like me, the Team Machine mutants, the Shadow Pokemon-we’re abominations, together we should be shaping this world into something better, not trying to tear each other apart.
King: No!! I am Mew!
Mewtwo: Then call yourself that!!
King: ...
Mewtwo: You can’t. Because you aren’t. You’re just like us-
Cresselia: W-was that-
Victini: Tri-Attack? Since when did Mew know that-
Meloetta: I don’t think Mew-as the Strident King knew that move, right?
Cresselia: I don’t know...
Darkrai: And the amount of power, let me guess, the Mew population probably tied themselves to this place in case it needed to be protected?
Meloetta: There’s no way-no one should ever fight on that island, unless a foolish trainer acts out...
Darkrai: Diancie’s worthless-best choice we made in leaving them behind...
Meloetta: That’s... har-
Darkrai: No, no it’s not; they went to the same “Special Meeting” that Victini went to...
Victini: Muurrh...
Meloetta: How do you-
Darkrai: They’re asleep, it’s called diving into dreams and nightmares-their memory of the Mega Stone discussion was apparently a nightmare in their eyes...
Meloetta: There was another meeting?
Cresselia: I believe it was only for Legends with Mega Evolution capability-they were supposed to work towards eradicating Mega Stones-it’s why Victini did what they did...
Meloetta: But... Victini can’t Mega Evolve-
Darkrai: Funny isn’t it? How’d Victini get in then?
Cresselia: We’d have to ask Victini, but...
Meloetta: What if they’ve forgotten...?
Darkrai: Something tells me we’ll never know, but who cares? Hoenn is a place that’s considered the “Origin of Mega Evolution” by some fools, so we’re treading into dangerous territory at the moment, so please, Cresselia, focus-we shouldn’t even be able to travel this way...
Cresselia: ... Right-
Cresselia: Brace yourselves... it may be a bit hard to see at first...
Darkrai: For who? We’re basically deities here.
Cresselia: Meloetta, of course-
Meloetta: I’m fine, but... what’s... what’s that?
Cresselia: It could be a shadow in your vision-the dream realm can do that to-
Cresselia: No. No, that’s incorrect; we can simply wait for their reincarnation-
Darkrai: With the way the world is now? Really?!
Meloetta: No... that’s not all...
Darkrai: The HELL do you mean that’s NOT ALL?!
Cresselia: Breathe, Darkrai...
Meloetta: Genesect was among the Elder Legends... even as a machine, they bore Red Eyes... But they forgot what they truly were... how can they reincarnate now? The only one that'd know how at this point would be... Mew...
Darkrai: ...
Cresselia: ...
Darkrai: Fuck... Fuck!!! Genesect! Wake up you piece of crap!! What happened?! Where is he?! Tell me damn it!! GENESECT!!!
Cresselia: D-Darkrai... please...
Meloetta: He...?
Darkrai: From what Mewtwo’s told me; that Politoed kept them stable-if they’re both falling apart and are vulnerable to the Strident Knights and Mew-
Cresselia: They’re weaker states of mind would be an issue... Mew would succeed in capturing them...
Darkrai: And considering what I do as a hobby? The two most aggressive members of the Trio are Shadow Pokemon-their nightmares may be amazing to me in a nourishment sense, but they’re painful regardless...
Meloetta: Wait, what? Two? I thought there was only one-
Darkrai: The Black Pikachu became one, some how, I’ve been feeding off his nightmares for years... the last one I gained before coming to join you was when they were on their way to Orre-it was a confusing one, and I was forced out by something else...
Meloetta: Then... wait, we need to get back to Mewtwo, now... maybe we can take Genesect’s head to them, maybe they can help get information off of it somehow...?
Darkrai: ... Maybe.
Cresselia: At least it’s good you’ve calmed, Darkrai.
Darkrai: Whatever, get us out of here.
Cresselia: Understood... ... ... Huh...
Darkrai: What? What now?
Cresselia: ...
Meloetta: Don’t say it...
Cresselia: ... I...
Darkrai: Cresselia, Meloetta!!!
???: HAaagh!!
Meloetta: Fire... wait...
Victini: I... I still... remember it... hah...
Victini: I... need to make up f-for you all-
Meloetta: No you don’t-
Cresselia: At least my healing attempts worked... but please be careful, Victini.
Victini: It’s hard to... focus... so I won’t... but...
Darkrai: We’re going to need them against two of the titans...
Meloetta: W-wha... ah...
Cresselia: Are they.. larger?
Darkrai: They are... for some reason...
Victini: Aren’t... they n-normally...-
Darkrai: A foot taller than me and Cresselia? Yeah, usually...
Cresselia: They’re also strangely colored-did they reincarnate?
Regi: ....!
Darkrai: Figure it out later, Cresselia! Here they come...!
>Mewtwo’s allies and Victini aren’t going anywhere-
>The Regi have killed Genesect-
>The Meeting’s coming-
>Isn’t it great, Palkia?
???: You talk like you have one; last I checked none of us-
Meloetta: ...
???: Holy shit-
????: Since when did you have a Proxy?
Meloetta: That’s a secret; for the betterment of any backup plans~
???: Does Mewtwo know?
Meloetta: No and his Proxy can’t sense mines; since I kept the link incredibly weak to begin with, which makes it a bit concerning to discover the link’s grown so weak not even I can sense it.
????: It appears something is amiss-your Proxy is in Orre too, correct?
Meloetta: Not sure why you’d assume that.
????: It’s the only logical answer I could come up with.
Meloetta: Hmm...
Cresselia: Well, it’d make things easier to decide what Victini’s final dream should be as they enter death’s realm.
Meloetta: ...
???: ...
Cresselia: What?
???: You’re horrible.
Cresselia: This coming from the spawn of nightmares? Humph!
Meloetta: Excuse me-
Cresselia: Finally, something we agree on.
Darkrai: We had ONE disagreement and it cost me an arm, you overly gaudy dream catcher...
Cresselia: A deserved limb loss, you pitiful wretch.
Darkrai: Even your insults are piss poor...
Cresselia: At least I have all my limbs.
Darkrai: Fuck you! At least I’m not a glorified duck!!
Cresselia: I-wha-RUDE!!! I NEVER-
Darkrai: You sure have-never NOT been an oversized duck.
Cresselia: You... you... OOOOOH-you-
Meloetta: Uuugh... I’ll be back...
Darkrai: ...
Cresselia: ...
Darkrai: Good one.
Cresselia: It is worthwhile Victini not die, in my opinion.
Darkrai: Heh, I agree.
Darkrai: I think we-minus this doofus-all know that the Dewott they’re fighting is the granddaughter of the Sword’s last Proxy, right? That bastard bred like a Bunnelby out here apparently...
Cresselia: Obviously... Victini’s just too obsessed with that foolish “option”... And I mean, they were protected here... so... why wouldn’t they?
Darkrai: Well... this place was full of unaware monsters, that rival Legends in strength and we’re looking at the head of that all.
Cresselia: We could use her help-
Darkrai: Yeah? And get my gut punched in like Mew did? I was lingering around, holy hell, she punched them through one of their homes like it was nothing-AND it was a Bug move on top of that.
Cresselia: ... Maybe we should avoid this one.
Cresselia: ...
Darkrai: ...
Both: Oh...
Darkrai: Maaybe we should’ve done something...
Cresselia: I don’t think Victini’s dead...
Darkrai: Hold on, seriously?!
Victini: ... Please...
Yoshi’s mother: Not in the mood for begging-you had that chance when you lost your arm-
Victini: I’m sorry... Meloetta...
Yoshi’s mother: ...
Victini: I thought... Giratina was...
Yoshi’s mother: ... You don’t even know what’s happening anymore do you?
Victini: Don’t... go...
Yoshi’s mother: ... Alright, well-
Yoshi’s mother: ... You’re here...?
Keldeo: ... I’m so... so... sorry... your grandfather was someone we trusted and loved as if we were siblings... I trained with him, his allies and their trainer. I wish, strongly, that we didn’t leave this land solely to your kin to protect... so much has gone wrong in the world, things that we can’t explain without causing it to grow worse. Individuals connected to your remaining son, a being of immense power, ‘blessed’ with it by these individuals on accident, the gods of our world making rash decisions out of what can only be spite at this point... It is a disgrace to say we used to ally ourselves with your family... I-personally-take the blame... for being too weak to draw the other Swords to action...
Yoshi’s mother: ...
Keldeo: You do not have to accept it.
Yoshi’s mother: I know I don’t... I’m more surprised by this one...
Meloetta: Victini...
Yoshi’s mother: When did she even show up?
Keldeo: You’re welcome, Meloetta... and please, a warrior such as yourself deserves to rest now, don’t you think?
Yoshi’s mother: ... My son has no home to return to.
Keldeo: ...-
Yoshi’s mother: His friend either, the surviving Knights; we are homeless now. For the “Betterment of the World”... I hope you Legends have your heads on straight soon... and if my son is intertwined in this... as with Mew... if he dies-
Keldeo: I understand.
Meloetta: As do I-we Legends of Unova realistically owe your family quite a lot, after all-I’m sorry Victini forgot that.
Victini: D-Dewott...
Meloetta: No more talking, Victini... we’ll get you patched up, and then you’ll come with us, far away from Unova for a while...
Yoshi’s mother: ...
Yoshi’s mother: Next time, that armor-or whatever it was around their head won’t save them... Now, excuse me... I have a home to find with the remaining Pokemon of this forest...
>Victini Forgot how to use V-Create...
>Unova’s nightmare in flames has ended... but the scar left behind...
