Author's note- This story attempts to be canon (hey, if the movies don't deny it, Cresselia can totally speak German. All I have to do is write faster than they make the movies), with some characters from the anime. It takes place after the eleventh movie (that's the one with Giratina and Shaymin in it, right?), and answers some questions the anime should have answered. Is every team really that bad? Why does Ash see so many legendaries? Granted, the latter may be answered eventually... right now, I will answer it in my own way. - The only light in the cavern came from a red glow that shone through cracks in the floor, just enough to make out the intricate carvings on the walls. They were old and yet not old, depicting– islands, with great birds fighting in their skies, a great serpent spiraling down from a storm, holding something in each claw, red and blue– dragons, skimming the surface of a lake, three beings, one of rock, one of steel, one of ice, surrounding a greater being that themselves, and in the center, a white figure, out of which came all of creation. flash A figure appeared in the center of the room with a sudden burst of light. It had a small blue body, a triangular head of a deeper blue, two tails with a red gem in their star-shaped points and a third gem in its forehead. The tails dragged on the ground as it hovered a few feet in the air, first going to a picture of a green creature flying through a forest, then to a bird with rainbow wings, then stopping at the serpent, putting her hand on it and sighing. flash A second being appeared besides the first, its eyes tightly shut. It was like the first, but with a round, yellow head. "Hello Azelf," it said. "Hello Uxie," she replied. The arrival reached out to the picture and groaned when she felt it. "Oh sister, I know you're upset about what happened, but–" "It shouldn't have happened," Azelf snapped. "And if we had hidden them better, it wouldn't have!" She took her hand off the picture and it glowed briefly with a white light. "Be careful," Uxie cautioned, taking her hand off as well. "You know who's here. We don't want her to wake up again." Azelf glared at the floor. flash Another burst of light and a third Pokemon appeared. It could have been a twin of the others– and perhaps it was– but for its magenta head with four antennae hanging from it. "Hello, sisters!" she said cheerfully. "I'm glad to see that you're both here!" "Well, of course I would be here," Azelf growled, still staring at the floor. "I was the one who said we should meet here." "Mesprit, she's still upset about yesterday." Uxie sighed. "As am I." "So am I, but she doesn't need act like this," she replied. "Azelf, have you been having nightmares again?" "Yes," she said, looking up from the floor. "But that's not why I asked to meet here. I found a new carving." Mesprit looked at her, surprised. "Here? But there hasn't been a new carving here since–" Azelf shrugged. "Well, I think it's new. I've never seen it before, I don't know about you. It's over here." Directly across from the carving of creation was a stone wall, cracks running through it. On it were pictures of... of what? They had never seen anything like it. "Are those ships?" Uxie wondered. "They're the strangest ships I've ever seen. Where are the sails?" "Is that the red orb?" Mesprit bent down to peer at it more closely. "Oh lord, some more idiots wake them up? And what are those words in the center?" "Names and dates," Azelf said. "Probably birthdates. Look closely, sisters." "There's me!" And indeed, although the letters were faded and a large crack ran through the second half of the name, it clearly said MESPRIT. "No, it couldn't be me," she said. "How can it be me? There must be some other Pokemon with a similar name. Or it could be a human." "Mesprit, that's your name." Azelf placed her hand on the stone and took it off again. "And what's even stranger is that this wasn't created by a legendary. It's nothing like the others." "But you can't get here if you're not a legendary," Uxie said in despair. "And how could any Pokemon or human see this far into the future? Look, these dates are nearly three hundred years from now." "M... Marcus something Fle... I can't make it out" Mesprit muttered. "Feb... February... sixth? Nineteen ninety... no, eighty... eight. R... or is that a B? B E... something. This is all so faded. No, if it was made by a legendary it would be preserved like the others." "Unless they were in a hurry," Uxie muttered. "This was done fast. What was happening when it was made?" "It could have been a human," Azelf said. "One of the others could have brought one here." "But no one can–" "You're the guardian of knowledge!" Azelf cried out. "Can you see what memories are associated with this? Maybe that can give us some answers!" Uxie was silent for a moment. "Yes," she finally said. "Yes. Why didn't I think of that before? Mesprit, you should move." Mesprit backed away as Uxie went to it and placed her hand on it. The gem on her forehead started to glow. She opened her eyes slightly, then closed them and shook her head. "I can see your memories," she said. "Finding it for the first time, coming back to it again, to make sure it was really there... everything before that it black." "Lord, where did this come from?" Azelf asked the empty air. Mesprit moved back to the wall and narrowed her blue eyes. "Nineteen... nineteen ninety... eight? Nine? Zero? Can you help me? X... something... this one's short..." Uxie sighed and felt the stone. "That feels like a K, not an X." "It's a pretty strange K, then." Azelf looked as well. "I think the third name begins with an R. Rachel? Remus? Why does it matter? We have a long time. We need to figure out who made this thing." "No," Uxie said, "we need to figure out what's on this thing. Why does it matter who made it? They, whoever they were, made this for a reason. Something happens in three hundred years and these people are important." Azelf stared at the floor again. "This one says Flareon," Mesprit said. "Thats clear enough. The sixth one looks like Salamance, but I can't make out the last one at all. Does it begin with an S? G? And the date is the same as mine. It's a legendary, but which one?" "If it's a G, there's only one it can be," Uxie muttered, "and lord, I hope–" The ground suddenly shook and the red glow brightened. "We need to leave," Azelf said after it had stopped. " We've been here too long already. We have three hundred years." "But then what?" Uxie retorted. "What if that's not enough time?" "It will be. We have four names already. Come, let's go." They all vanished with a flash of golden light.
