Okay, so... After having my brain restarted properly, I took a moment to process everything. The most prominent thought was 'Wut?', followed closely by 'Wat?'. Pushing those aside, I finally cleared my head enough to start coming up with some speculations. I know for a fact that I couldn't have possibly survived the backlash of having created Arceus alongside the rest of the Pokémon outside, but the fact he called me Creator dismisses the idea that he's the original one coming to see why some of his creations suddenly appeared in a different dimension. Let's see if the theory I have is true.
"Arceus," I began. "I have a question for you."
"Of course Creator, what would you like to know?" I tried to ignore a shudder at my apparent new title as I posed my question.
"Did you help me create all the other Pokémon that are here?"
He nodded. "Oh yes, I came into being right after young Sparkle there, and sensed you were in a lot of pain, so I decided to alleviate the strain in your body by directing your power into myself and amplifying it so you wouldn't have to keep providing all the energy needed for the others to come into being. The drain was still considerable, but thanks to the combined efforts of Sparkle and me, it wasn't fatal."
Well that's just great. Barely a month in this new world and I already almost died. I wonder how I am not freaking out over this. No wait, I am, it's just buried very deep on the back of my head. Huh. That aside, I at least confirmed my theory, if I almost didn't survive only creating three legendaries, no way I would survive creating the rest of them. Yes, the rest. Like any normal Pokémon player, I too would actively search and catch all the legendaries in the game. Let me tell you, I wasted a lot of save states doing that, but I happen to think it was worth it. But it seems this has come back to bite my big ass, as I'll have to find places where my Pokémon could feel comfortable. I mean, I could see Kyogre over in the further part of my backyard in a big, apparently artificial made lake that was barely big enough for him.
I sighed and decided to present my concerns to Arceus. Turns out I apparently won't need to worry too much about some of the Legends, namely the ones who can easily go from one place to the other. Articuno, Zapdos and Moltress are just waiting for me to give permission so they can leave to find someplace good to live, same with Dash the Lugia and some others. Still, the majority of the other Pokémon apparently want to stay close to me, so I guess I'll have to make some alterations to my backyard...
Better not delay then.
It's been a few days already since I started remodeling the backyard. With Trixie living with us now, I could finally do my things without worrying Selene is unsupervised. The fact that she is easily distracted by the Dark and Ghost types that hang around inside also helps only that regard. In that time I have managed to use my powers to make some things that would help my little friends. Just to the side of my house I made my own Pokémon Center, in case something happened. Again, took a lot of energy to create the complicated machines I knew I would need. Also another thing to make was a warehouse inside the center where I could store all the Pokeballs I was apparently carrying in the Bag. See, one day I was wondering where all the Balls were, and almost flooded my room with them when they suddenly flowed like a river from the Bag. In the warehouse I decided to store the balls in alphabetical order, just to be safe.
It may not look like it, but I am a organized person- Err, fox.
Back on topic, my backyard now had some separated lakes where everyone could have fun, areas where the Pokes could train themselves if they wanted, enough flatlands so that they don't have to run in circles, some rock formations for the ones who liked that, and even a pool of magma for the fire types.
I have a big backyard.
That all aside, I believe the hardest part of all are the tunnels and caves that are still in progress under my property. Thankfully there were already some natural caves there, it was only a simple matter of branching them with enough caution so it wouldn't collapse everything above. Makes me thankful Pokémon are smart and understand when to not risk unnecessarily.
Taday was my day off from working at the Classical Wubs, and I decided to search for somewhere that would be good enough for Kyogre and Groudon to live. With Kyogre was a simple matter of finding the ocean, which I could ask Dash to fly me to. I am lighter than I look apparently, women back on Earth would be so jealous. Anyway, a few minutes ago I spotted some smoke coming from a nearby mountain. Okay, a LOT of smoke. Maybe it's a volcano or something, so I decided to climb it for two reasons. The first is that that is probably a good place for Groudon to stay. The second?
Fire Leon's comment
Because I found a cool Grappling Hook. I don't know from what game or series it is, I don't know how it got here, I don't know why, but I don't care. It's here now, and it's mine.
So I'm gonna put it to use. Oh yeah, and also because Groudon might be able to keep the volcano under control, I won't have my house burning down in lava so soon after I moved in. Anyways, I asked Trixie to watch over Selene and the house while I was gone, got some things that I thought would be necessary, picked Groudon's Ball from the warehouse and set on my trek.
This was gonna be fun!
This is not fun.
On my way up the mountain, I somehow missed a gap on the ground when there was a tremor somewhere nearby and almost fell down a somehow big cliff that was on it. The Hook saved my butt on that. Further up, I was forced to deviate from the main path, because apparently the tremor I felt earlier was an avalanche that blocked off the way. Wait, should I call that an avalanche or a rock slide? Hmm, question for later. At least I erred on the side of caution and conjured some mountain climbing clothes and other stuff. (I look sexy on these too.)
My poor feet were hurting from the uneven ground when I finally reached the top where the smoke was coming from. And guess who I found there? Surprise surprise, it was Purple and her band. We stared at each other for a moment before pointing and exclaiming at the same time.
"Are you following me or something!?"
"My luck, you owe me a soda." I added quickly with a snicker, watching in satisfaction as she sputtered in confusion.
My fun was cut short when a big cloud of smoke came out of the giant cave, sending us all into a coughing fit. That was followed shortly by Skittles darting into the cave and yelling something I couldn't hear from over here. But then a loud roar echoed and I saw her doing a great impression of Sonic's Hooming Attack mixed with a bowling ball when she knocked her friends down like bowling pins. I was lucky to be standing a little to the side, and would have laughed at that if a literal DRAGON hadn't walked out of the cave.
The universe just loves to spite me.
So there was I, staring blankly up at the dragon, when there was this loud shout of "HOW DARE YOU!?!?" from behind me. Imagine my surprise when I turned around to see sweet and kind Fluttershy with an angry face as she glared at the giant lizard. Imagine my further surprise when she flew up to it's face and started SCOLDING the dragon! And for a moment it even seemed to be working. But whatever it was that she did, the dragon shook it's head for a moment before roaring at her, making her eyes widen in fear and her wings snapped shut, making her plummet to the ground.
"I got her!" I shouted as my left eye gained a blue glow, the same glow enveloping Fluttershy's body and slowly her fall as I set her gently on the ground. Guess I learned something new due to the situation.
Gravity Manipulation
Change the gravity of one or more targets by using your SOUL's magic.
After making sure the yellow pegasus was alright and ignoring the many looks I was receiving from the other ponies, I turned my attention back to a certain dragon, who was currently venting smoke from it's nostrils and the corners of it's mouth. Huh, so this was the source of all that smoke I saw? This dragon has serious problems.
"You know, smoking is bad for your health." The comment slid out before I could contain myself, which had the undesired effect of making the dragon take notice me, and I barely ducked under the claw swipe that followed.
"Hey! Why don't you pick on someone your own size!?" I shouted while taking Groudon's Ball from the bag and throwing it on the air. "Groudon, come teach this overgrown lizard a lesson!"
I ignored the shouts of surprise made by the ponies as Groudon appeared in a flash of light and roared at the dragon, who roared right back. Let's see if I'm still good at this.

A WILD DRAGON APPEARED!
Right away I noted that the sunlight seemed a little bit brighter. Apparently Groudon's ability Drought is now active and OH SHIT ATTACK INCOMING.
Apparently at the 0.5 seconds I took to think about Groudon's ability the Dragon charged right at him, tackling him down the mountain. Welp, gotta go after them and see if Groudon is okay after that one, and also to make sure they don't wreck anything important. But how am I gonna get... Down...
I facepalmed.
Oh look at the silly MAGICAL Kitsune who forgot she could MAGICALLY do things with MAGIC.
I wanted to kick myself for this, but I'll have time to experiment with clones later, so with a running start, I dove off the top of the mountain head-first, ignoring the second round of gasps behind me. I forgot the ponies where there in the first place, but that's not important. Calling in my Monster Magic, I made the upper half of a blaster under myself and rode my way to the ground before dismissing it. Apparently Groudon had managed to throw the dragon off and was now facing it, sparing a small glance when I landed by his side.
"You okay, buddy?" I asked, knowing that like all the others, he could understand me perfectly. My response was a single nod, and I let out a sigh of relief at that. Turning back to the dragon I decided to go with my normal strategy in the games.
First half, analyze the opponent.
"Just hold out for now, okay? We'll get our chance to strike back."
Groudon nodded again and braced itself. The dragon seemed to take that as it's cue to attack again, this time with a Flamethrower. It didn't seem to do all that much damage to Groudon though, and that seemed to anger the dragon even more, who swopped down to Slash with it's claws. Again, the lack of any apparent damage seemed to make the dragon angrier, and it looked like it was preparing a stronger Flamethrower, but I had finished my analysis. This dragon can be considered a Fire/Dragon type (no shit), so Ground, Rock and Dragon type moves will deal more damage. Now for the second half...
Destroy my opponent with super effectiveness.
"Alright Groudon, you ready to fight back?" A nod. "Then let's bring that overgrown lizard to the ground! Use Rock Slide!"
Groudon roared as multiple rocks started materializing above the dragon before falling atop it. The dragon did notice and tried to dodge the attack, but still got hit multiple times, making it lose altitude, which lead to the next part of our attack.
"It's close enough now! Use Dragon Claw!"
His claws covered in green energy, Groudon dashed up to the dragon and slashed at it, sending it tumbling through the ground with a pained roar.
I grinned. "Now, finish it with Earthquake!"
With yet another roar, Groudon brought a foot up before stomping down hard, making the ground start to tremble and undulate like waves in an ocean. The result was the dragon being tossed around, unable to get a proper footing to take to the air again. When the ground finally stopped rumbling, I watched the dragon, daring it to get up and attack again.
"I yield..." Well would you look at that! The overgrown lizard can talk after all. I signalled for Groudon to stand down as I approached the dragon.
"Alright buddy, start explaining yourself. What did the ponies do to you to make you go all ballistic on us like that?"
It- no, not it, he- huffed in annoyance and spoke in a rumbling voice. "They were trying to make me leave my nest. I assumed you would do the same."
I rose an eyebrow. "Okay, I understand this part, but the question is WHY were they trying to do that?"
He harrumped. "Something about how I can't take my one hundred years nap here because the smoke is covering the place or something. A little smoke never made bad to anydragon."
This time both my eyebrows rose in disbelief. "A LITTLE smoke!? Fuck's sake man, all that smoke blocked the sun almost completely! Also, you have some serious anger issues! They wanted you to leave because there's a village on the base of this mountain, you can't just sleep and cover them in smoke for a hundred years! Why did you even picked this spit anyway? It's not like it's the only mountain in the world!"
I had to stop myself when I noticed that I was ranting like an angry mother. And the dragon seemed to look away in a little embarrassment. I took a deep breath, rubbing my temples a little.
"Look, can't you just... Find someplace else to sleep? Somewhere where nobody lives preferably."
He let out a sigh, blowing out some smoke but agreed nonetheless. I reached in my bag and retrieved a Full Restore, applying it to his injuries. A few moments later and he was back to full health, to which he thanked me, albeit in his own way.
"You did an adequate job." Is what he said.
I took a few moments to get to know the guy, who was named Kor'vak. He told me a little bit about himself and I did the same in turn. He kept praising Groudon's prowess in combat, and said he wouldn't mind sparring with him in a later date. We finally reached an agreement that he would pack his hoard and find somewhere uninhabited to sleep and Groudon would live in the depths of the cave atop the mountain, where apparently there is some veins of lava after all. Also, according to some dragon battle code or something, for defeating Kor'vak in battle I now had a right to one fouth of his hoard. Cool.
After returning Groudon to his pokeball for a moment, Kor'vak flew me back to the top of the mountain, where we spotted Purple and the others just standing there staring at us. Fluttershy also seemed to have recovered from he fear induced paralysis. Kor'vak glanced at me for a moment and I shrugged, not knowing what to do of them also. He stood there for a moment before walking past them and into the cave to pack up. I meanwhile just stood there awkwardly with six pairs of eyes on me. Purple's mouth seemed to be moving uo and down like a fish while her manewas sticking up in various places. Heh.
"I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!" She finally managed to get out. I crossed my arms.
"Well too bad, I ain't answering anything."
I snickered to myself as her eye started twitching before Kor'vak exited the cave with the part of the hoard he would take with him.
"Well, I shall depart now, young Samantha. I hope our paths cross on better terms in the future." He said before taking flight.
I waved to him for a moment before I heard Purple shout again. "You made friends with a dragon so fast!?"
I stuck my tongue out at her. "Jealous?"
I laughed as her friends had to drag her away after that one, with Fluttershy sparing a moment to thank me for saving her again. Once they were gone, I walked into the cave and let Groudon out again so he can start finding his way around while I took a look at my part of the hoard. And holy shit that pile is bigger than myself! Gold, jewels and other shit, it was all there in a pile I don't even know how tall is. I stepped closer and picked up one of the gold coins.
"How am I gonna carry all that?"
My answer came as the coin in my hand disappeared, followed by the entire pile also vanishing as a small screen appearing in my vision with a lot of numbers rolling for a moment before stopping.
1.754.329 bits acquired. Sent to bag.
"Oh. That's... Useful. That screen is interesting though, what if..."
I narrowed my eyes at the little screen, pulling on my Will Magic and using my imagination to shape it to my tastes. Soon, the screen was replaced by one full of small squares with the image of my bag on it's left side, with one part highlighted. Haha, now this is a lot more useful.
Inventory Screen
A more organized way to take, store and see what's in your bag.
Good, this will do for now. I might personalize it in the future with some other things, but this is enough for now. Taking a moment to glance at the area I place the bits counter, I saw it was marked 1.754 329 bits, just like the screen I had before. Well, money won't be a problem for a long while. I dismissed the screen and watched Groudon for a moment, seeing he walk deeper in the cave, probably to look for the lave veins Kor'vak talked about. Seeing nothing else for me to do, I decided it was time to head home.
Which is what I would have done, if the floor hadn't suddenly disappeared from under me.
I didn't manage to take two steps before a portal opened under my feet, swallowing my bottom half. I managed to grab the edges, straining to pull myself out of the hole in reality, but whatever it was it seemed to be sucking me in. I opened my mouth to call out to Groudon for help, but my hand slipped before I could get any sound out.
I fell for no more than five seconds before my back impacted something hard, probably the ground, and knocked the air from my lungs. Followed by my bag landing on top of me right after, knocking even more air from me. My vision slowly darkened, but before I lost consciousness completely, I managed to catch a glimpse of three more rifts like the one I fell through, and witnessed Trixie, Selene and Sparkle fall through them on the ground somewhere to my side.
And then I blacked out...
