In the Hall of Legends, Mew was using her powers as a Mythical Pokémon to look over all the various species of Pokémon, for her father had recently returned from Eques’ afterlife, and told her she would need to make some ‘nudging’ in terms of breeding between Pokémon and ponies seeing as how the god he had met with was doing similar ‘nudging’.

This brought a smile to her face, for the last time she had done this kind of ‘nudging’ it had been to make it so that humans could no longer produce offspring with Pokémon, which she had always regretted doing. Now though, now she was rectifying that mistake by making it so that Pokémon could create offspring with all the races of Eques, and she could not wait to see what would result from those unions.

However, as she reached the last few Pokémon on her list, she began sensing something, and when she gave a little tug, she found a whole new batch of Pokémon there, as well as several new legendries.

“What the heck, I don’t remember creating these…wait a minute…I recognize that one, that one died out during one of the…the…”

She suddenly had a moment of excited realization, and with that she began speeding down the fall as she called out to her father in joy.

“Almost there,” said a lone Nuclear Tanscure, his eyes staring at the town before him as he rested at the edge of the Everfree Forest. “Soon beloved, soon he will pay for his crimes.”

Glancing down at his paws, the Nuclear Tanscure had to suppress the urge to tear up, for every time he looked at his new form, it reminded him of his first love, his beloved Absol Mistress.

Like others before him, he had not meant to fall in love with his Pokémon; in fact he hadn’t even entertained the possibility until she had made it plain how she felt for him, with a little help from one of his psychic Pokémon of course. Thus slowly, over a period of several months, there partnership had blossomed into love.

And he knew it was true love, not the one sided love that many of the Rangers claimed it to be, for Mistress could have never achieved Mega Evolution if their love was so…tainted.

But it had all gone wrong when those damn rangers had caught them in a…compromising position, and he had been arrested for the crime of Pokephilia. He had been separated from his Pokémon, and had been sent to a rehabilitation center for five years after taking a plea deal, like he had planned.

After the mandatory time, and with proof that he had indeed been “rehabilitated,” he had been reunited with all of his Pokémon…save for Mistress, and to this day, he still remembered what that bastard Hastings told him when he had asked about her.

“I am sorry Mr. Arden, but I am afraid she was too damaged by the time we caught you, so we had to put her down.”

Professor Hastings had commented that he had made her death painless after he had seen the boy tear up, but he had not cared at that point, leaving after being congratulated by Hastings, and his life had only become worse from there.

As he was reflecting on this though, he was brought out of his dark thoughts as a form leaned against him, causing him to look to his left, and gasp when he saw who was next to him.

“Urayne?”

“Thomas,” said Urayne as she smiled with her eyes, before wrapping him up in her arms as he breathed in her scent, something he could not have done when he was human.

“It is good to see you,” said Thomas, “I…I was worried that…that something had happened to you…”

“You know I can take care of myself love,” said Urayne, before reaching up a hand and beginning to scratch Thomas behind the ears. “Also I must say love, I find your new form preferable to your old one, and your fur is so soft.”

“Oh I wish I could just let you keep that up,” said Thomas as his three tails began to wag, the former human not caring how ridiculous he looked.

“And who says I have to stop,” said Urayne, reaching up her other hand and continuing with the scratching as Thomas began to growl in content, till finally he was able to get up the urge to pull away, causing Urayne to pout.

“Sorry,” said Thomas, “but I have business in town, business I have put off for far too long.”

That got a curious look from the legendary, “What sort of business?”

Concentrating, and thanking Arceus that he still had his mental powers, he opened his bag and pulled out a book, which he then handed to Urayne, “This sort of business.”

The Atomic Pokémon opened the book, looking over the contents for a moment before her face took on a sorrowful expression, causing her to close the book and look to Thomas as she spoke. “Are you sure you want to do this?”

“I’m sure,” said Thomas, “this needs to be done, for…for all those that were lost…all of them.”

With that said, he grabbed the book and put it back into his bag, before getting to his feet and moving, followed closely by Urayne as they made their way towards the town.

“THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU…!”

Arceus had to admit, after all that had been happening recently, he still found it surprising that he could still be surprised so often.

The object of his current surprise lay in his daughter Mew, who had flown into the room he was currently in and had latched onto him like a Binacle to a Wailord, all the while repeating those two words as she hugged him all the tighter.

“Mew, while I am happy to receive the hug, I am afraid I do not know what I have done to be receiving this much thanks.”

Stopping herself for a moment, Mew looked up with the biggest smile on her face, before speaking. “You brought them back; you brought back all the ones the Pokémon that got wiped out during the extinction event!”

Arceus raised an eyebrow at this, and noting his confusion, Mew linked her mind with her fathers, allowing him to see the Evolution Web which connected every Pokémon together.

As he looked at it, Mew guided his senses to a certain portion of the web, and when he saw it, he once more found himself surprised.

Orchyx, Chyimunk, Birbie, Dearewl, Dunseraph, Feliger, and many others were stretched out before him, each and every one of them being Pokémon which had been wiped out ages ago during a mass extinction event.

However, while Arceus was happy to see these Pokémon here, there was a big problem with Mew’s thinking. “Mew,” said Arceus with concern, “I did not resurrect these Pokémon.”

“What,” said Mew, “but…but how else could they be here then?”

“I do not…” started Arceus, only to stop as he spotted the Pokémon at the very end.

Seikamater The Insect Queen Pokémon, Garlikid The Hero Pokémon, Lanthan The Rare Earth Pokémon, Actan The Rare Metal Pokémon, Baitatao The Sea Serpent Pokémon, Leviathao The Leviathan Pokémon, Krakanao The Kraken Pokémon, Zephy The Inspiration Pokémon, Aotius The Yang Pokémon, Mutios The Yin Pokémon, The lost Legendries who had vanished during the great extinction event.

“Th…Their alive,” said Arceus, his mind fighting with what he was seeing, for he had always assumed they were dead.

“But where were they,” said Mew, looking them over as she voiced her thoughts. “No one sensed anything after the event happened, and you think we might have sensed them at some point, especially Heatran.”

“I do not know,” said Arceus, “but I plan to…wait…what is that?”

As Arceus said this, a new Pokémon appeared before them, floating seemingly by its own power as they gazed upon it. Thinking quickly, Mew used her powers to examine it on the genetic level and gasping a bit as she saw what it truly was. “This…this is a Legendary Pokémon, and it…it was made by the humans.”

“So another like Mewtwo then,” said Arceus.

“No dad,” said Mew, “this one they made completely from scratch, the only thing tying her back to me is the fact that she is a Pokémon.”

Arceus’s eyes widened at this, for this was something that if he had to be honest, he had seen as impossible. Oh sure, he could see them bringing extinct species of Pokémon back to life from fossils, and he could see them creating their own Pokémon by working off already existing Pokémon DNA, but creating a Pokémon from scratch, let alone a Legendary Pokémon, was simply beyond the reach of humans.

“Yet the evidence stating otherwise is staring me in the face,” he thought, before looking to his daughter and speaking to her. “Mew, were leaving for Ponyville, for I wish to speak with the new Pokémon and see if it knows anything about our newest discovery.”

*

Twilight had to admit, she had been very thankful that, after the whole incident with the Pokémon attacking Ponyville, that Arceus had given her books on Pokémon, allowing her to study up on the 809 species of Pokémon that existed.

Which is why now she was staring in utter confusion due to the two Pokémon heading toward the new Union Headquarters; for they were not like any Pokémon she had read about in any of the books Arceus had provided.

So, deciding to let satisfy her own curiosity, Twilight got up from where she was sitting and went after the two mystery Pokémon, eventually catching up with them and calling out to get their attention. “Excuse me!”

The two Pokémon stopped and looked back at her, Twilight watching as the floating one placed a hand on the wolf like ones back as it sat down and waited for her to approach.

“Princess Twilight Sparkle I presume,” said the wolf like Pokémon “to what do I owe the honor of your presence.”

“Please.” said Twilight, “call me Twilight, and I wanted to speak to you because…well, I have been studying Pokémon for a while now and I have never seen mention of Pokémon like you before, so I wanted to know who and what you were.”

Smiling, the wolf like Pokémon spoke up, “Well Twilight, my name is Thomas, a former human, but before we answer your other question, did any of the books you read come from the Tandor region?”

Twilight thought about it, then shook her head, “No, though I did start with the Ultimate Pokémon Explorers guide and then began working my way through the books it suggested, so I may not have gotten to them yet.”

“That makes sense,” said Thomas with a smile. “Well I am a Tanscure, known as the Raccoon Wolf Pokémon, while this lovely Pokémon here is my mate Urayne, the Legendary Atomic Pokémon.”

Twilight looked at Urayne in shock, “Wait, you’re a Legendary?”

“Indeed I am,” said Urayne, smiling with her eyes.

“Then why didn’t Arceus mention you when we met him in the Hall of Legends,” asked Twilight, looking confused.

“I…” started Urayne, before taking a deep breath and speaking. “Lord Arceus’s probably did not mention me because he did not know who I am, due to the fact that I...that I was not created by him.”

“You weren’t created by him?” asked Twilight.

Urayne shook her head, but before she could speak further, Thomas moved up to speak. “I am sorry Princess, but while we would both like to keep answering your questions, we have business at the Ranger Headquarters, so if you’ll excuse us, I bid you good day.”

He turned and began walking toward his destination, and Urayne began to follow him after giving Twilight an apologetic look, but as they began heading toward the building Twilight moved up beside him as they made their way toward the HQ. “What sort of business do you have up at Ranger Headquarters, maybe I can help?”

“Are you a Pokémon Ranger?” asked Thomas.

“Um…no…”

“Then no, it’s not something you can help with, for it involves some old crimes which were committed back on Earth, and I mean to see that the ones responsible do not escape justice.”

Hearing this Twilight scowled, “If you’re talking about arresting the people who were wrongly charged with Pokephillia then you better turn back around and leave this town before you create…”

Before she could finish her sentence Thomas rounded on her and growled, his eyes lighting up with a baleful green energy and his body beginning to radiate a greenish light. “Don’t you EVER insinuate again that I would do such a thing, for I lost too much to the laws which harm those people to ever willingly hand them over to the scum who enforced them!”

He then turned back around with a huff, picking up his pace as Twilight stared in shock for a moment, before deciding to head back to her library, intent on looking for books on the Tandor region and seeing exactly what the heck had caused that glow.

Thomas was able to eventually calm himself down by the time they reached the front doors to Ranger Headquarters, Urayne opening the door for him before following him inside.

Walking up to the desk, Thomas cleared his throat to get the receptionists attention. “My name is Thomas Arden, and I am here to speak with Abby Trombly about a matter concerning Pokémon.”

The Gardevoir looked at him in confusion for a moment, and then shook it off before looking at her ledger and speaking. “She should be in her office right now; I’ll have someone escort you.”

“That would be appreciated,” said Thomas.

Nodding, the Gardevoir called an Eevee over, who they began to follow as it lead them up some stairs and down a hallway, leading to a door bearing a plaque with Abby’s name on it. When the Eevee reached the door, she walked into what essentially amounted to a doggy door, Thomas and Urayne waiting a few moments before the Eevee walked back out and spoke.

“She’ll see you, though I would not want to be you right now, you’ve obviously done something to piss her off.”

“I expected that,” said Thomas as the Eevee walked away, before heading into the room as Urayne opened the door.

Behind the desk sat a Ninetales, who upon seeing Thomas put down the paperwork she was looking over as Thomas sat down in a chair. “You have a lot of nerve showing up in my Headquarters Thomas, after what you pulled back on Earth.”

“I know,” said Thomas, “but I had my reasons for saying what I said back then, and if you have the time, I would like to explain those reasons.”

“What reasons could you possibly have to explain why you claimed relationships like mine and the one you had were a mental condition, what reason could you have for spitting in the memory of your Absol when you…”

“My beloved was murdered by Rangers who claimed similar, and the only reason I said what I said was because I did not want the same to happen to Urayne!”

Abby was taken aback by this outburst, and after a moment of recovery, she leaned forward and spoke. “And what is that supposed to mean?”

Sighing, Thomas leaned against Urayne, who wrapped an arm around him as he spoke. “I had long ago figured I would one day get caught by the Rangers, it was only a matter of time. So, my Pokémon and I had formed a plan, which basically amounted to going through the motions and make it seem like I was rehabilitated.”

Sighing again, Thomas continued, “Mistress never liked the plan, and I guess that is what led to her being…to her being euthanized. It should come as no surprise that I was a wreck for a while after that, but eventually I was brought out of my funk when I found Urayne here being beaten by her trainer.”

Abby’s eyes widened at that, “I assume you reported this trainer to the rangers correct.”

“I did one better,” said Thomas, “I dragged him kicking and screaming to the local Ranger Station and turned him in, and stayed to find out exactly why the kid was beating his Pokémon. Turned out he was only beating Urayne because he blamed her for what happened to his mother, and after a lengthy conversation, I agreed to take her on as one of my Pokémon.”

Abby chose at that moment to interject again, “Ok, you keep identifying Urayne as her, but from the reports I got about it it was genderless.”

Urayne chose to answer that question, “As the Legendary Atomic Pokémon, I have found that I can…modify my genetic structure on an atomic level, which allowed me to…give myself a gender after I figured out which gender I found most…appealing.”

Abby raised an eyebrow at that, and then turned back to Thomas, “You were saying?”

“Yes…well, a few months after acquiring her, she chose to…well she chose at that point to reveal to me that she had feelings for me, which I was…I…”

“He was resistant to my feelings at first,” said Urayne, “granted part of it I could understand…then again I could have also probably been a bit more…tactful with how I revealed my desirers for him.”

“More tactful?” asked Abby.

“Her words were and I quote, “I have determined that you are a desirable mate, shall we engage in coitus now, or do you wish to engage in your dating rituals before we join bodies.” Kind of freaked me out a bit.”

“I can imagine,” said Abby.

“Anyways, as she said I was…resistant at first, but eventually I decided to accept her feelings, though we were a lot more careful about our relationship. We were happy for a while…and then that damn bastard Demetri Palentine had to go and make my life hell.”

“I find that hard to believe,” said Abby, “ for I would have thought you would get along with someone like that, what with him being against Pokephillia like you were.”

“You would think that,” said Thomas. “But one, I was never against Pokephillia, I only become an active face of Pokephillia Rehabilitation after he approached me, for he forced me into that position by threatening to turn me into the Rangers, and two, where Pokephillia itself was concerned he was fucking hypocrite, what with him being in a relationship with his Shiny Gardevoir and all.”

Abby’s eyes widened at that, “What…that can’t be right, he…he was…”

“I can tell you with upmost certainty that they are in a relationship, for during the dinner he invited me to, she kissed him right on the mouth, and it was not the sort of kiss you could mistake for anything else but romantic.”

Abby shook her head, “That’s not the fact I was stumbling over, I was stumbling over your claim that he forced you, so could you please explain what you meant by that?”

Sighing, Thomas spoke. “Well, a few months after Urayne and I had started our relationship, we found ourselves in Almia, and it seems we attracted the attention of Mr. Palentine, who invited me to his very private and very remote villa. After much winning and dining, he revealed that he was in a relationship with his Pokémon, and that he knew of my own.”

Sighing again, Thomas looked out the lone window in the room as he continued. “He then explained to me that while he knew relationships like ours were not the evil things the Ranger Union made them out to be, he believed that our world was not ready for such relationships to be accepted within our society. After saying that, he then asked me to keep the message of Anti-Pokephillia going strong, for with me being the most recent “success story” in regards to Pokephillia Rehabilitation, my words would have the most resounding impact amongst the masses.”

Growling a bit, Thomas spoke further. “I naturally refused, but as I got up to leave with Urayne he told me that if I walked out of his door without accepting his offer, he would have Rangers on my location within the hour.”

Abby’s eyes widened at that, “Wow, he really did that?”

“He did,” said Thomas, “and when I countered by telling him that I would tell the Rangers of his relationship if they did catch me, he simply stated that it would do no good, for unlike him, I had no proof to show he was breaking the law. So in the end, I chose to protect Urayne rather than risk what happened to Mistress happening to her, and though I hated what I was forced to do, I did it all the same.”

Silence hung in the air for a long moment, and then Abby spoke up. “If you are willing, I would like your memories to be scanned by one of our Psychic types, because as much as I want to believe you, I am having a really hard time believing any of this.”

“I would gladly submit to a memory scan,” said Thomas, “I have nothing to hide.”

“Then follow me.”

*

“Well his memories check out with everything he has stated,” said the Espeon as she pulled away from Thomas, “no sighs of tampering or replacement either, so he is telling the truth.”

“Damn,” said Abby, before looking to the Tanscure with a regretful look, “well, not that it matters now, but some of us were really hoping he could be made to see our way of thinking.”

“Cynthia said something similar when I told her, for he was one of the people she was planning to approach about changing the laws when it came to Pokephillia.”

“You know Cynthia?” asked Abby in surprise.

“Mhm,” said Thomas, “though I’m not all that surprised you didn’t know, for Cynthia felt it best that it not be known that I was working with her till the big meeting.”

It took a moment for the pieces to fall into place in Abby’s head, but when they did her eyes widened in shock, “Holy fuck…so you’re the Champion she kept saying would be such a big help to us?”

Thomas nodded, “Would be a pretty big hit to the Anti-Pokephiles don't you think? Not only was the face of Pokephillia Rehabilitation a sham, but he was in a relationship with a Legendary. But…well…then Arceus happend."

Abby nodded her head at that, “Well, while I am glad we got this whole mess sorted, I believe you had another reason for coming here.”

Thomas’s face fell at that, but with a sigh, he concentrated, and pulled the book out of his bag before handing it over to Abby. “This is why I came here.”

Abby took the book in one of her tails as Urayne floated over to comfort Thomas, opening it and looking it over before dawning a confused look as she turned to Thomas and spoke. “What is this?”

“A list of names,” said Urayne for Thomas, holding him tightly to her chest as she spoke for him, “names of Pokémon who were euthanized by the former Ranger Union because of the Anti-Pokephillia laws, as well as names of the people who were responsible for those deaths.”

Looking at the list again, Abby saw names she recognized from her time back on earth, which eventually prompted her to look up and speak once more. “And how did you get all these names, I mean the various rangers members I could get, but the names of every Pokémon they put down, that would require access to the Union HQ database of each region, which I know you did not have access to.”

“He didn’t…” started Urayne, only to stop as a blinding flash filled the room, before fading and revealing Arceus and Mew had appeared before them.

"Greetings."

Author's Note

Will probably end up going back to this chapter later, for as always beginings are always my Kryponite. Now, onto some topics the Author wants to cover before people freak out.

01. Yes, Urayne turned herself female through use of genetic tampering, but I felt it given that the Legendries are made to be so powerful in this setting, I felt it was within the realm of reasoning to give Urayne, The Atomic Pokemon, the ability to change her genetic makeup at the atomic level.

02. Yes Thomas is a Nuclear Tanscure, for it is my favorite out of all the Pokemon in Pokemon Uranium, besides Urayne itself.

03. It will be addressed why neither Arceus nor the other Legendries knew that any of the Tandor Region Pokemon or the Lost Legendries were alive in the next chapter, I just felt it would be to much to adress that in this chapter what with all the stuff I dropped in this chapter.

Anyways that's pretty much it, so if you guys have any questions or comments, feel free to drop them on by, I love hearing from you guys.
