Chapters "Yes! I can finally use the Ultimate Arceus! Oh this is so exciting!"
If you can't tell, I managed to get a Mystery Gift containing the Ultimate Arceus. In short, BEST THING EVER! I heard about them but a couple of years ago, the event had ended.
Oh, where are my manners? My name is Steven Miles. A few years ago, my friends had gotten me into Pokémon. I played all the games, and managed to 100% them all. My friends all managed to get the Ultimate Arceus at EB Games. They were all so pumped about it and continuously battled each other with them. Just one on one.
When I started to get into the game, I asked them about it, and they said that the event ended years ago. I was sad, but moved on. However, today someone at the mall had a stand up, giving away the Mystery Gift. I instantly ran over and asked him about it. He told me that he had access to the Gift and could give it away. I pulled out my 3DS that I always had on me and asked if he could give it to me?
"Sure, what game?"
"Omega Ruby." I answered.
He booted up his own and set up the connection. I quickly connected and he gave me the gift.
"Oh, and when you use it," He said after the transfer had finished, "Make sure you use 'Spacial Rend' first."
"Umm, sure?" I said, the confusion obvious in my voice.
I walked over to a nearby bench and sat down. I opened my DS back up and launched Omega Ruby. I opened up my save file and received the gift from the PokéMart. Quickly switching my newly received Arceus to the first slot, I went out to find some wild Pokémon to battle. The first step I took in the grass resulted in a battle.
The Pokémon I found was just a level 3 Poochyena. Easy enough. I let out Arceus and the battle screen was brought up. I selected Spacial Rend.
Arceus used Spacial Rend.
Nothing happened.
I waited for a minute and nothing happened. I tried pressing 'A' a few times and saw a small rift open up, then close as I stopped pressing it. Wanting results, I spammed 'A'. Slowly, the rift opened back up. When it looked like it was at full size, something unexpected happened.
The rift jumped out of the screen and at me!
"The fu-" Was all I managed to get out before I was swallowed by the rift.
I fell for the longest time, or was it only a second? I couldn't tell. All i know, is that I was falling. As I was falling, my body started tingling. A few seconds later, pain was the only thing I felt. Bone structures changed, muscles changed, body parts changed, everything changed. When the pain stopped, I felt something rush through me. It felt like a great river of water that was hot and cold at the same time. When it stopped, there was a tingling sensation left behind.
After what felt like eternity, a small light appeared in the distance.
I watched as it became bigger and I eventually was engulfed by it. When the blinding light left my vision. I found myself on one knee. I took this moment to look around. I saw a building that looked like a school. Definitely high school. The moment I tried standing up, I fell back down. The hell? I looked down and saw two golden tipped... Hooves? Yeah, let's go with that.
I looked around my body more, and saw a golden ring around my midsection. Behind me, I saw a tail. My colours were mostly white, a bit of grey and gold. Hold on. A golden ring with four emeralds embedded in it, golden tipped hooves and a grey area going down my chest. HOLY SHIT! I looked around for a mirror and instead found a window. Good enough. I tried concentrating in walking, but every time I would just fall down again.
Okay, just do what comes naturally. I stopped thinking about walking and just let it happen. Somehow, that worked. I walked around some more to hardwire the movements to my brain so I wouldn't keep falling over. When I was confident in walking again, I approached the window. What I saw shocked me, but not too much.
So I was right... I really am Arceus... FUCK YEAH!! I'M MOTHERFUCKING ARCEUS!!!! I started dancing around. I only stopped when I saw a giant beam of blue light shoot up into the sky. Better check it out. I ran to the corner of the building and peered around it.
The fuck?
So I was right... I really am Arceus... FUCK YEAH!! I'M MOTHERFUCKING ARCEUS!!!! I started dancing around. I only stopped when I saw a giant beam of blue light shoot up into the sky. Better check it out. I ran to the corner of the building and peered around it.
The fuck?
What I saw shocked me. There was a demon laughing at a group of... schoolgirls? Yeah, schoolgirls. The demon was red with red and yellow hair, wearing a red and yellow dress. Seems like this chick really likes red and yellow. She had red and black dragon-like wings and boots with the same colour scheme. On her head was a crown with a purple star, covered in a sickly blue aura.
"Gee, the gang really is all back together again!" The demon said, laughing. "Now step aside." She started preparing a large fireball, "Twilight has tried interfere with my plans one too many times already. She needs to be dealt with."
The demon released the fireball, sending it flying to the group of girls.
Crap! What do I do?! I thought about running over, but I knew I wouldn't be able to make it in time. Unless... Letting my body do what came naturally once more, I took off at high speed. Extreme Speed!
I managed to get in front of them before the fire ball reached them. I braced myself for impact and waited for the fireball to hit me. Not a second later, it hit it's mark. Or would've if I wasn't there. Smoke enveloped me, shielding me from view. I heard the demon laughing maniacally. The smoke cleared, and I heard the girls behind me gasp, drawing the attention of the demon once more.
Looking behind me, I saw the girls looking at me in shock. Funny thing is, I had to look down a fair bit. Seeing as Arceus is pretty damn tall. I returned my attention to the demon when I heard it speak.
"What?! How did you survive that spell?! That's impossible!"
"You shall not harm these people. " I responded, choosing to ignore the shocked looks I was gaining. I'm guessing that I was able to talk by using some sort of psychic power to voice my thoughts.
"And how can you talk?!"
"I am Arceus, God of Pokémon. Creator of the universe. I choose what I can and can't do. " I stated calmly.
"Grah! Just get out of my way and let me take over what I want!" The demon sent more and more fireballs at me, but I just met them head on. Like a boss. When it let up on it's barrage, I chose that moment to act. Darting forward, I ran towards her, sending out Hyper Beam attacks. Somehow, I didn't need to recharge between them. Perks of being a God, I guess. When I got close enough, I used a High-Jump Kick attack, sending it into the wall. The Demon emerged from the rubble, looking a bit ragged. Looking to immobilize it, I went through every move I knew.
Mean Look, Bind, Fire Spin, Psychic... Aha!
Readying myself, I uttered three powerful words to everyone in the vicinity.
"Roar of Time! "
The Demon was stuck in a small time loop, preventing it from moving. Inside the loop, it was constantly being attacked by all of the time inconsistencies in the universe. I don't understand how they work, I just know that I would never want to go up against it. Especially if it was Dialga doing it.
Behind me, I saw the girls talking, shouting something to the Demon. I didn't take any notice. I was busy keeping it still. I also noticed a line of purple, sparkling dust leaving a trail from within my time barrier to the purple skinned girl.
I saw a rainbow shoot up into the sky from my position, and I stopped the time loop. The Demon looked up and saw the rainbow diving down towards her.
"No. NO! This can't be happening! NOOOOOOOO!!!!" The rainbow flew around her, creating a tornado. When it finished forming, small lines of rainbow flew out from the top. A beam connected with one of the students, that I somehow only managed to notice then, and split off, destroying the mind control on them. A bright flash later, and I was the only one outside that was still standing.
I looked around and saw a ravaged lawn. Scattered in front of a statue were the girls from before, now all sporting pony ears and three of them had wings. The students looked out of the once grand entrance and stared at me with wide eyes.
"Yes, I know, not everyday something like this happens. " I said, rolling my eyes.
The standing students suddenly dropped in numbers, as some of them fainted on the spot.
"Oh come on! I didn't even use Hypnosis! " I joked.
Turning back to the downed girls, I saw a dog walk up to the purple skinned one from before, and give her a lick. She opened her eyes and sat up, opening up her arms invitingly. The dog jumped into them and the girl gave it a hug, rubbing her cheek against it.
I walked up to them, and they all instantly stepped away from me. Two of them had angry expressions, two had fearful expressions and the last two had curious ones.
"Are you alright? " I asked.
They gasped with wide eyes, not saying a thing.
"Let me guess, you didn't think I would be able to talk? "
They nodded.
"Well let me introduce myself. I am Arceus, God and Creator of the Pokémon universe. What are your names? "
The purple skinned one stepped forward. "My name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash." She pointed to each one as she announced them.
"Nice to meet you. " Looking behind me, I quickly added something on, "Maybe we should check out that crater first. " They nodded and followed me.
We reached the edge and looking down into it. At the bottom was another girl, who looked to be crying. I jumped down, and knelt down next to her.
"Why are you so sad, little one? "
She sniffled before replying. "I didn't know there was another way. Now they all see me as a monster."
She broke down crying again. "Dry those tears, little one, for I have a feeling that there will be those who will help you. If you truly wish to redeem yourself. "
"Who would possibly want to associate themselves with someone like me?"
"Those that saved you from yourself. " I picked her up and brought her to the group of girls from before. "These ones would be willing to show you the true meaning of friendship, if you'd just give them a chance. "
They all gave a chorus of 'yeah' and nodded.
A woman with pastel coloured hair approached us with something in her hands.
"I believe this, belongs to you." She said as Twilight bowed. "A true Princess in any world leads not by forcing others to bow before her, but by inspiring others to stand with her." She placed the crown on Twilight's head. "We have all seen that you are capable of just that. I hope you see it too, Princess Twilight."
"I do." Twilight said.
The crowd started cheering for her. Time to be a smart ass.
"What? And no cheering for me? " I asked in a playful tone. "Don't mind little ol' me with how I just defended these girls and held off the Demon long enough for them to get rid of her, leaving in place a clean woman. "
The woman from before held up her hand. "We thank you as well, Arceus, for risking your life to defend those who needed it."
"Meh, don't mention it. "
I watched a boy walk up to Twilight. "Would now, be a completely awkward time to ask you for that dance?" He asked, extending a hand to her.
Twilight looked up to the sky, and chuckled. "I don't see why not."
We all raced inside the school gym and the DJ started playing a song. Everyone started dancing to the music, and boy let me tell ya. It got CRAZY out there! Twilight was busting out crazy moves left right and centre. Rarity had started a conga line. Applejack was dancing with this guy doing the shuffle. They looked similar as well. Maybe siblings? Anyway, Pinkie was throwing confetti everywhere. Fluttershy was talking! Gasp! The horror! I'm just kidding.
There was also this one guy doing Gangnam Style. I laughed so hard at that. Feeling like messing around, I transformed into what I looked like as a human, but I had a white robe on with grey highlights. There was a golden ring around my midsection, keeping the robe together. I moved to the centre of the stage and stopped the music, opting to play Gangnam Style. I got so many people dancing to that.
Soon, I noticed Twilight and her friends leave. I followed them to make sure they stayed out of trouble. I followed them out the school to in front of the horse statue.
"I guess this is goodbye, isn't it?" Twilight asked. "I know we haven't known each other for very long, but I know that I will never forget the friendships I've made with you girls."
I took this moment to step out from hiding.
"What about me?" I asked. They all whirled around when they heard my voice, and slightly relaxed when they saw who it was.
"Right, sorry about that Arceus." Twilight said.
I shrugged. "No problem."
"I need to return home now, goodbye everyone." With that, Twilight stepped through the statue.
"Let me guess, she was actually a pony princess and she came here to find her missing element stolen from her by Sunset Shimmer. She made friends with Fluttershy first, and continued on to run as Princess for the Fall Formal. She then met you, Applejack and Pinkie Pie, and rushed off. Sunset managed to get footage of her making a fool of herself and posted it online. Rarity then dragged her and Spike in a classroom and proceeded to give her a disguise. It didn't work and the other three I mentioned earlier found her. Twilight then met up with Rainbow Dash, versed her in soccer, lost and you all helped her get everyone's votes. She was almost taken out of the bill but Flash Sentry saved her and she then rushed back to Rarity's boutique. You all pitched in to clean up the gym after it got trashed and beat Sunset in the vote. Sunset stole the crown and turned into that raging Demon and tried to take over Equestria with a teenage army. I then showed up and beat her ass. Is that right?"
"How did you know?" They all asked.
"Just a hunch."
"Huh, that's what I said when I made a prediction like that!" Pinkie exclaimed.
I waved Sunset over from the entrance. She came over warily. "Yes?" She asked.
"Do you want help fixing that?" I asked.
"No thanks. I'll take it alone as punishment." She sighed.
"Fair enough." I turned to the girls once more.
"Just one question; where the fuck am I?"
Talk with Principal Celestia
"Just one question; where the fuck am I?"
"Welcome to Canterlot High. The school where friendship prospers above all else." I heard from behind me. I turned to find the woman that gave Twilight her crown.
"Thank you, now who are you?"
"My name is Celestia, the principal of this school."
"Cool. Nice to meet you Celestia."
"May we continue this conversation in my office?" She asked.
I shrugged. "Sure, see ya later girls." I waved to them. They waved back and I returned my attention to Celestia.
We walked through the halls, past lockers and classrooms. We eventually came to a door near the reception area. Celestia brought out a key and unlocked it. She walked in and I followed her. Inside was another woman with hair that looked like the night sky. She was a litle bit shorter than Celestia and had blue skin.
"Arceus, I would like you to meet my sister, Luna. She is the Vice-Principal here at Canterlot High." Celestia said.
I extended my hand to Luna. "Nice to meet you Luna."
She shook me offered hand. "The feeling is mutual." She replied flatly.
"You have to forgive my sister. Sometimes she can seem cold to new people, but she isn't the most social. Among friends she's much more open, but to new people, she is more withdrawn." Celestia said.
"That's fine. I'll just have to get to know you both better." I replied, shrugging.
"Then we will await the times when we can get to know each other." Luna stated.
"Now, onto why I brought you here." Celestia started. She sat down in a chair behind the desk in the room, Luna standing behind her, slightly to the left. "How did you arrive here?"
"Sister, what do you mean? He obviously came by bus or another means of transport." Luna asked.
"Not exactly, Luna. Arceus is... a special case." Celestia replied.
"I'll show you what Celestia means, Luna." I said. I transformed back into my original form. I had to shrink down to fit in the room, though, and I think Luna might've been a bit underwhelmed or overwhelmed. One of them. Or maybe both? I don't know.
"Just so you know, this is about one sixth of my original size. " I said to Luna. Now she was overwhelmed.
"I did not know you could do that." Luna said in wonder.
"My other form is who I was before I became this. Arceus is the name of this Pokémon, and so I have changed my name to it. My original name was Steven Miles, but please refer to me as Arceus from now on. Arceus is the Creator and God of the Pokémon universe, and one of the legendary Pokémon. Legend says that It hatched from an egg in a void, and shaped the world around It. " My little tale had them wide-eyed.
"Now, I received a gift, used it and I was brought here. I also turned into Arceus and gained Its powers. Meaning I have a wide variety of moves and have God-like powers. "
"Wow. Thank you for answering that question for us, Arceus. I have a couple more left. What do you plan on doing now?" Celestia said.
"I'm probably going to stay here. I was only 17 back when I was human, so I can continue doing schooling. I was training to be a teacher, funnily enough, so I could probably help out on the staff once I've finished this year. " I answered.
Celestia nodded. "That is acceptable. It's fine for you to stay in that form when there aren't any public events happening. However, when other schools visit or we go out in public, I would appreciate it if you stayed in your human form."
"That's fine with me. "
"Good. Now that you've answered my questions on how old you are, what you were learning and you have agreed to stay hidden in public, I have one question left. Do you have anywhere to stay?" Celestia asked.
"No, I do not. I can, however, make a pocket dimension for me to stay in. I can connect it to a door somewhere in the school. That way, you can reach me easily and I can have a room for when I become a teacher here. " I replied.
"That will be fine. Luna, do you have any questions?"
"Yes, how much do you know?" Luna asked.
"I can travel through time to learn things, I can access the internet in my mind to search things, and I have the knowledge of the universe. Perks of being a God I guess. "
"That is impressive. Do you know any fighting techniques?"
"Yes and no. I do know them, but I have never used them. "
"Ah, how about we give you another job as well. I will have to discuss it with my sister first, though."
"Go ahead. "
Luna nodded and turned to Celestia. They started huddling and whispering. In the meantime, I started thinking about what technique I would use. I can use the Assassin's technique from Assassin's Creed. They always did seem rather OP. Or just good old martial arts. Probably Assassin. Hidden blades are cool! And I can fit it around my robes as a human. Just need to get a hood. Oh, and possibly also get the insignia on my robes.
I was snapped out of my thinking by Luna's voice.
"We can offer you the position of a... bodyguard of sorts. If anyone tries to break in or trouble arises, you will be there to stop it."
"That's cool. "
"Do you have a symbol of sorts that we can use to identify you as the guardian of our school?" She asked.
"Why yes! I do. " I summoned forth the Assassin's logo made of silver and gave it to Luna.
"Here you go. " I quickly made a copy and hid it in a little pocket dimension for storage and closed it. Hold on, I don't remember making that. I opened it back up. Inside were all the type plates. Wow. Did not expect that.
"What are you doing?" Celestia asked.
I closed up the dimension and replied. "I just found something I did not expect ever. No I will not tell you what. It is perhaps my greatest tool. " I almost said weapon, but that would've gotten them suspicious.
"Fair enough. I don't expect anyone to reveal all of their secrets."
"I believe we are done here, are we not?" Luna asked.
"Yes, sister, we are." Celestia replied.
"Good. I'll get started on that pocket dimension, then. "
"Until later, Arceus." Luna said.
"Yes, we will see you later." Celestia added.
"Goodbye, Celestia and Luna. " With that, I turned back to my human form and walked out. I made a door next to theirs and put the Assassin's logo on the door. I created a distortion in the fabric of space, and made a large room. I connected it to the door, and opened said door. Inside was empty space.
Literally, it was all space.
"Well, this is going to be fun." I said to myself.
I walked in and closed the door behind me. I left the floor, walls and ceiling as it was, and started making small hallways to living quarters for myself. I made a bedroom, bathroom and a training room. The training room was full of training dummies and obstacle courses designed to increase my fitness. I also created an area where I could practice parkour like the Assassins.
I made a weapons rack, and fitted it with weapons of all sorts. Swords, lances, spears, axes, bows, you name it. I also made a work table next to it for when I wanted to tinker with anything. I copied my robes and put them on a mannequin. On the copy, I placed the Assassin insginia and equipped it with belts for throwing knives. I made some hidden blades and put them on my wrists, hidden by my robe. I also summoned The Eagle of Sugar from Assassin's Creed Unity. I placed it in sheath and strapped that inside my robes, making sure I could access it easily without being seen.
With that done, I started training.
It took a while, but everyone around the school eventually got used to having a God in the form of a giant horse among them. I started doing classes again the weekend after the Fall Formal, and I started to assist with the teaching.
Most of the time I would be in Arceus's form, but sometimes I would change into my human form. Wherever I went, I would always have my sword and hidden blades with me, just in case something... unexpected happened. Everyone knew my insignia, and they would sometimes come to me for help.
If I was outside my room, I would spend my time in the gym, using the weights to increase my strength and running around the track to increase fitness and stamina. If I was inside my dimension, most people would see me sleeping. Full size, nothing around me but purple space with stars in the distance.
With all the extra fitness exercises I was doing, I started to get out of my old gamer body, and into one that took care of themselves. I wasn't fat or anything, I was actually quite skinny, I also had a bit of muscle on me, but nothing special. Now though, I had well defined muscles, no excess fat and I could run for miles without stopping. Oh, and I was also getting much better with my free-running.
Classes proved useless for me, seeing as I already knew everything. I just had to call upon the information. So as I stated before, Celestia and Luna started letting me teach some of them. It was still early in the year though, about May, and so I still had a while to go until I finished school.
I got to know Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity and Sunset Shimmer better as well. Some afternoons, I would go with the girls in town to do whatever, sometimes they would come with me to watch me train. I spent a lot of time alone with Sunset Shimmer. She would often come to me when I was training or doing something in my pocket dimension. I would always stop what I was doing and help her out.
The first couple of times she visited, she would cry into my shoulder while I just hold her supportively. Slowly, those visits became fewer and fewer as the other students didn't give her as much of a hard time. One time, sadly, someone decided they would pose as Sunset, and started revealing everyone's secrets on this website. I didn't have any secrets of my own put on there. No one knew anything about me. Sunset came rushing in and hid in a corner somewhere. I had to trace down the sobs from her to find where she was. She expected me to give her the cold shoulder as well.
"What's wrong, little one? " I asked her. Little one or young one were the nicknames I used for her, ever since that night.
"*sob* Just go away... No one wants me..."
I knelt down next to her. "Why would they think that? "
"Someone decided they would make a fake MyStable account... and set it up to look like me... They started to reveal our friends secrets that they shared at some of our sleepovers."
Yeah, I skipped those sleepovers. I knew they would be awkward.
"Now everyone in the school has their secrets up there... and they're all blaming me."
"Not everyone. " I retorted. "They don't have mine, since no one knows anything embarrassing about me, and there must be someone who doesn't have their secrets up there. "
"But who would do this?"
"Do the girls have anyone that would know these things about them, apart from their friends? " I asked.
"I think so... Yeah! Applebloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo. They're really close with them. Applebloom is Applejack's sister, and Applejack's nickname was publicized first. Sweetie Bell is Rarity's sister, and she could've gotten the photos I took from my phone when we slept. Scootaloo would be in on whatever they did."
"Can you use your phone to search up the fake account? "
"I should be able to." Sunset took out her phone and opened up MyStable. She went to the page with the account and started browsing through everything on there.
"No, no, no, no, no," She continued like that for a while. "No, no, no. There's nothing here on them. Everyone else, apart from you, has a secret or two on there."
"Then how about we go visit them? "
She nodded and got on my back. One thing that I found helped her relax was letting her ride on my back. Somehow, it soothed her. When she turned over a new leaf, she rode me a lot. I walked out the door connecting my dimension and the school together, and started roaming the halls, keeping an eye out for the CMC.
We searched inside the school and couldn't find them, so we headed outside. When I looked out the back of the school, I saw a line of students heading into an unused shed.
"Interesting... " I muttered.
"What was that?" Sunset asked. I simply moved forward to the line and waited at the end. We had to wait for a bit, but we eventually made it to the front.
"Next!" A voice sounded through the door. I set Sunset down and changed to my human form. We walked in and were met with a pitch black room.
"What secrets do you wish to impart on me?" The voice asked.
"Let me handle this." I whispered to Sunset. She nodded and I addressed the voice.
"We both have a secret to give you. We know who Anonymiss is. So come on out, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo. We both think you have a lot of apologising to do."
"How did you- I mean, that is very interesting." The voice continued to talk, but I zoned it out. I focused on where the voice was originating from, and started walking towards it. I soon found myself in front of a black wall, and I reached a hand out to touch it. It felt soft, like a- Curtain. I ripped it aside, and sitting there, wide eyed, was the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
"Um, hi?" Sweetie said. nervously.
"H-hey there Arceus. What're you doing?" Applebloom asked.
"We totally aren't Anonymiss or anything!" Scootaloo blurted out.
"Yeah, that's not going to work. Now, I want you to apologise to Sunset Shimmer and to all those that you wronged. I will report this to Celestia and Luna and they will dish out you punishment accordingly." I said.
"Aww!" They gave me the puppy dog face.
"Must! Not! Hurk! Give! In!" I pretended that I was choking or dying from it. I quickly stopped though. "Again, that's not gonna work." I said with a flat expression.
"Damn!" They snapped their fingers.
"Now come with Sunset and I and we will get this all sorted out."
They followed me obediently, and all five of us walked out of the shed. People in the line gave Sunset glares, and confused looks to the girls and I. We reached the office and I informed Celestia and Luna of what was going on.
"Thank you, Arceus, for bringing this to our attention." Celestia said.
"No problem, I'm gonna go back to my room for now. See you later." With that, I left the office and went back to my dimension.
The girls were all excited whenever they caught me training. To Rainbow, Applejack and Sunset, it was the coolest thing ever. To Fluttershy and Rarity, it was the most shocking thing ever. To Pinkie, she just cartwheeled around the room.
One day, I was half sleeping, half awake when Celestia and Luna both came in my room. They both gasped when they saw my size, which woke me up completely.
"Hello Celestia, hello Luna. What brings you two to my humble abode? "
They snapped out of their daze. "We are here to inform you of the upcoming CHS Musical Showcase. During this time, we both want you to stay in your human form. There may be other schools attending, and we don't want them to see you like this." Celestia said.
I chuckled at that. "That is fine Celestia. Say, could I also contend? It would be a bit of fun. "
"Of course you may participate!" Luna exclaimed. "You are still a student after all. Just make sure that you are prepared. A lot of groups will be participating with you."
"Don't worry, I will be fine. "
"Then we look forward to what you perform." Celestia said.
I nodded to them and they both turned and left.
"Welp, time to bring out the old trumpet again. "
