Pokemon - A real story

Xerneas could see what Axel was going to ask next. So, it replied, "Even I don't know why that is. But I can clearly tell that both of you are somehow connected.

So, if you could somehow reach Ho-Oh and know how it got out of the corruption, then we can get Arceus out of this problem.

I am also slowly getting corrupted. There might come a time when I will also be against you. So, before that happens, I need you to get stronger, find Ho-Oh, get the solution, and then cure Arceus.

I know that we are asking a lot from you but we have no other choice."

"What is the probability that I will be able to do this?", asked Axel.

"I have no idea. Your future has endless possibilities.. I cannot predict that. If I had told you what possibility you must take to get it done, then it would not have happened. So, I cannot tell you anything.

Now, since we have talked about it, it is now time for us to get out of here and also get you and your Pokemons to learn soul arts. That will take some time but don't worry, Celebi would help us in this. We will go to another dimension and then learn about this.", said Xerneas.

Axel could not believe what was happening right now. He knew that the problem was serious when he got the mission to cure Arceus. But frankly, he was not giving his all. Why?

Because it was a monumental task and he knew that he could not do it in just a month or a year. So, he was taking his sweet time and subconsciously forgetting how serious the issue really was.

For a moment he thought, why him? Why did he have to be the one to suffer so much? Why can't he live a normal life like others? Axel envied those that were weaker and not as talented as him. They didn't know what he had to face.

Facing the whole world alone was not something anyone would want. But here he was, doing the same.

"Lord Xerneas, can we also learn this soul art?", came a voice and it was Hector who spoke.

"Yes, I also want to learn this soul art and get prepared.", added Krishna.

Slowly all the commanders started to ask the same thing.

"But why? You will get weaker and it takes a lot of your time. Why do you want to do this?", asked Axel clearly shocked about their determination.

"Sir, do you really think that we are your commander just in this life? If fate allows us, we want to serve you even after death and now we have the chance, why not grasp it?", said Dory.

"Dory is right about this. We want you to be the leader of us even after death. And why does it matter if we grow weaker for a short period of time? We are already dealing with a lot of problems. There is no problem to add another one. At least we will get something out of it.", said Kane.

Kane was not the talkative type but this time he was the one who spoke about it.

When a person is overwhelmed with all the pain in the entire world and then if a stranger gives anything, even a shoulder to cry on, that person will instead be overwhelmed with gratefulness to a level that a normal heart could not hold it in.

That was what Axel was feeling right now. He only wanted to create this mercenary team cause he wanted an organization to fight the last battle. He had never thought that they would support him even when all the odds were not in his favor.

"You guys, ... Ok, let's do it."

"I will also do it.", shouted Agnes excitedly.

Finally, except for his parents, uncle, Oak, Lucario, Gengar, and Blue, everyone was going to learn this so-called soul arts.

Celebi created a different dimension and then they trained in this soul art for a long time. Axel didn't know how much time had passed outside but he could tell that it was already over a month here.

They were not going to master every soul art right here. They were going to memorize how to do it during this time. Celebi had some special ability to do this. Axel didn't have time to even think how it was possible. He had a lot of things to do.

It might have taken more than a month for them, but since everyone was serious about this, none of them thought that such a long time had passed.

Maybe it was some magic of Celebi or Xerneas, he didn't know. What he knew was that he needed to cure Arceus somehow.

"You now have around 1.5 hours before we can get out of this space.", said Xerneas.

They had now returned to the same space as before where none of them, not even the Raemondo Renn could see anything.

"If you have anything to talk about, now is the time. After that you cannot talk about this and who knows when you will have the chance to talk about it in the future.", said Xerneas.

The first thing Axel did was talk to his parents.

"Axel, you don't need to say anything. You are our son, through and through and whatever you do, you have our blessings. I just only want you to marry and give me grandkids in the future.", said his mother.

There he was thinking about how to cure the creator of his universe and his mother was worried about his marriage. He was not even at the age of marriage. But this did help him calm down. This made him feel that at least some things were normal.

After that, he went to talk to his Pokemons. He especially wanted to talk to Absol and Taruos cause he had not talked to them for more than a year.

"How are you guys holding up? I can see that both of you have reached king rank. So, do you want to come back?", asked Axel.

Both of them disagreed to come. As per them, they had a lot of things to do there. Ronan wanted to create his own herd of Tauros and Boufallants. Absol had other things to do and they also wanted his help on something.

"Well, if you want to know more about it, why don't we talk to Xerneas right here? After all, it is the one that specializes in this.", said Axel with a smile.

He could see that they had slowly started to take their life seriously. They had started to question the specialty they had and they were starting to get mature. Finally, they were starting to look like someone whom he could trust.

(A/N: If you want to more about what they want to talk to Xerneas, please read the side story 'Absol and Tauros' that will become accessible on 20th December 2024 or 18th December 2024 for Pokemon god tier.)

Finally, he talked to all of his Pokemons.

"I am sorry that you may have to fight to save the world. This pressure is not something that you deserve. But here we are. So, if you want to back out, cause you might want to in the future, then please back out now. Cause after this, no one can back out."

Shedinja came a bit forward and spoke, "Axel, I think, no, I believe that I speak on behalf of everyone else when I say that you are being monumentally stupid. What back out? We are in this for our life. You might think that you are doing us a favor but you are just hurting us very deeply."

Everyone agreed to Shedinja. It was really the boss to speak on behalf of everyone else.

The only one who didn't know what to do was Gandiva. When everyone gathered to come to this place, it also got excited. It also wanted to know where they were going. So, it tagged along.

It didn't know that it would meet such powerful and mythical Pokemon and now it was offered to learn this soul art. What was the harm to learning it? So, it learned this move too.

Now, everyone was saying that they would put their life on the line for this human.

After spending some time with this human, it had slowly started to accept it as its trainer but it had not done so completely. This human was something very ruthless and there were also times when it was like the most giving human in this world.

Since everyone was saying that they would support Axel and also fight the world for it, it didn't know what to say.

'Should I say that I won't? No, I cannot do that. I cannot let my heroic personality be washed down like this. I cannot be called a coward. But I am not his Pokemon. I think he already forgot this.

So, should I remind him?', thought Gandiva.

But now since everyone was looking so cool and heroic, it didn't want to be called a coward. So, it accepted to help this human to fight this so-called Arceus. What is the harm in this? It would just train a bit harder than before. That should do it.

The other one who didn't know what was happening was actually Aron. It was just a baby and not even reached 3 months. But since everyone was saying that they would do it, it also thought to do it. It was just following the crowd.

Finally, he talked to Oak, Blue, Red, and his team.

They had an intense discussion and what they should be doing. Time was not on his side and he was losing his life force. But the discussion was important. They talked about the secret codes and what the next step should be for them. How they were going to get powerful and how Axel was going to get powerful.

Gengar and Lucario were also in this meeting.

Finally, after all the talk and discussion, it was now finally time for them to get out of the space.

"After this, you will hardly see me. It is better for us to not meet. I don't want the entity that is corrupting me to think that we have some sort of relationship.", said Xerneas.

"Also, if you want to concentrate on which Pokemon to concentrate more, think about your Shedinja."

"Why?"

"Shedinja is a weird entity. It is the first Pokemon that actually doesn't have a soul. It is only formed by ghost-type energy. That is why the concentration and mastery of ghost-type energy is higher in Shedinja.

But your Shedinja is different. It has a soul and a very new soul. A new soul can learn soul arts faster than others.

Also, I will give you a gift.", said Xerneas and then looked at Togetic and both of their eyes glowed in pinkish light. After that Togetic started to float and all of its body was now covered in a pinkish light. After 5 minutes, it slowly went down and then the light also disappeared.

It looked like it was in a very deep sleep.

"Don't worry. It will take some time for it to wake up. It is just a small gift from my side. It depends on your Pokemon how much it could utilize it.", said Xerneas with a smile.

Celebi also went near Venusaur and then to Alakazam. It didn't have much to tell to Alakazam but it seemed to really care about Venusaur.

"I wanted to train you more in the future and wanted to see you grow up. But it looks like I would not have the chance to do it. But don't worry, I still have something for you.", said Celebi to Venusaur.
