Child of the Original One

Chapter One

Lightning rumble in the night sky as young woman is running through an open field. She has been running for an hour and she is growing more and more exhausted. Soon she enter a forest with some of the wild Pokémon looking at her wondering why she is entering their home. Shortly the women took a quick rest sitting on a fallen log and she look the bundle she has been carrying the whole time which in it is a three-month old baby boy.

The women quickly jerked her head up when she heard barking and howling in the distance. She looked at the sleeping child again and hugged him before hiding him in a bush. She then ran off with the barking getting louder. The women continued her running and she reach the edge of the forest when with no warning, she is hit in the side sending her flying. She crashed hard breaking a few number of bones and painfully raised her head seeing her attacker is a huge Nidoking with a man next to him.

"You thought you can escape from your own father Delia?" Said the man in a cold voice filled with malice.

"You're no father of mine Giovanni." Said the women now known as Delia.

The man now known as Giovanni laughed as a pack of Houndoom entered the scene panting along with members of Team Rocket who are breathing heavily after all the running.

"Where is the brat spawn you made with that b #$!$%?" Demanded Giovanni when he just noticed the child is missing.

"His name is Red Giovanni and he is a far better man than you and I rather die than tell you where my son is."

"So be it! Nidoking! Kill the traitor! Grunts! Burn the forest!"

"YES SIR!" Shouted the members and started a massive forest fire.

Delia's eyed with fear as she watch the fire spread and as Nidoking approached her with no mercy in his eyes. She shut her eyes accepting her fate but prayed as she thought her very last thought.

"Arceus! Someone! Anybody! Please save my Ash! Protect him and raise him! Please!"

The Nidoking roared as his fist glowing purple and slammed his fist down with Giovanni laughing in a cold laughter.

Meanwhile in the same forest at a big distance the legendary Pokémon Arceus is walking through the forest on its own quest to find the 'Jewel of Life' which has disappeared from Michina Town. For a long time Arceus search for the jewel and its search has brought it here to the Kanto Region. Just then it felt a great distress that is so great that it drove its attention from its quest.

"Arceus! Someone! Anybody! Please save my Ash! Protect him and raise him! Please!"

It was about to answer the female being, but the female being disappeared before it could and felt her life fade away. Arceus snarled with anger as it felt evil beings surrounding the now deceased female being and was about to give these evil beings it judgment when it felt a great sadness from another being.

Arceus could that this being is almost similar as the female being and figured it must be the female being's offspring. Arceus could tell it knew its mother is dead and is greatly sad. Its sadness is so great that it drove Arceus to find the thing.

Shortly after Arceus began its search, it began to hear an infant crying and knew that was the being it is searching for. Just then, Arceus began smelling smoke and knew at once there is fire and rush towards the infant.

Soon Arceus reach the area and saw the bush is where the infant's crying is coming from and where its presence is the strongest. Arceus lowered its head into the bush and saw a human infant. It the infant cry even louder as it was afraid of it.

"Don't be afraid little one. I won't hurt you." Spoke Arceus to the very young child in a female voice.

The child stopped crying as it looked at her with wonder in its eyes. Arceus knew she has to get the child out of this forest as there is still a fire burning out of control. She knew that couldn't carry the child in her natural form, so very reluctantly change to her human form in a golden light.

In Arceus's place after the golden faded away stood a 25 year old women with dark gray hair that is almost black and red eyes in a pure white dress with golden boots and gloves and a golden ring on her back. Immediately the women picked up the child in her arms and ran out of the forest as fire continued to burn everything.

Arceus felt guilty that she isn't able to stop the fire due to the lack of her Splash Plate as she watched the forest fire burn in its terrible beauty. However she has even bigger problems than the fire as the child has already grew deeply attached to her and has already imprinted her as its new mother. She let out a sigh as the child whom she figure is Ash grab on to her refusing to let go.

"You know you're such a pain." She said as Ash just looked at her with joy not understanding what she just said.

{Seven Years Later}

"ASH BREAKFEAST IS READY!" Called out a voice waking Ash from his sleep.

Jumping out of bed, Ash raced downstairs to the delicious smell of the food to fill the black hole he calls a stomach. Once he reached to the table, he began to overfill his plate and starts shoveling it in at an alarming rate.

"Ashton eat your food slowly before you choke yourself!" Growled Arceus in her human form as she sat down to her seat.

"Sorry mom." Apologize Ash and continued to eat slowly this time.

Arceus shook her head as she remembered how she used to think her son as such a pain. She can remember all the struggles she had to endure. In fact it was so bad, she had to search for a human she believe to be safe enough to help her raise Ash. That person is none other than Professor Oak, whom agreed to help in exchange to research her and help with his research to improve the relations with human and Pokémon.

Thanks to Oak's help, Ash grew into a healthy and happy boy until an incident had happened where Ash got kidnapped. It took Oak two hours to stop Arceus's rampage and three weeks to find the boy. Once found, Arceus immediately took off to the location and gave the kidnappers her wrath.

After Arceus rescued Ash, she growled cursing the dead kidnappers for they have been experimenting on poor Ash making him no longer human but a half-breed. Arceus used her power to disable his Pokémon Form and erase his memory in hopes to prevent him from developing PTSD.

"Hey mom are we going anywhere today?" Asked Ash finished with his breakfast making Arceus's awareness return to the present.

"What? Oh! We're heading to Alamos Town. I can feel Darkrai is in trouble and needs to be rescued."

"Alamos Town? Where is that?"

"It's in the Region the humans call Sinnoh. It is also the Region where I came from."

"Okay and who is Darkrai?"

"Darkrai is a Legendary Pokémon like myself and this Darkrai's family has been very loyal to me."

"Alright, when do we leave?"

"In an hour."

{An Hour Later}

Arceus and Ash left the house, which she got after she brainwashed the salesperson into thinking she already bought the house and gave her the keys, and turned towards the forest leaving Pallet Town behind so Arceus could change into her true form without being seen.

After Arceus changed, she lowered herself to let Ash be able to climb on her back. Once Ash got himself on her back, she rose into the air opening a portal and flew into it.

{Meanwhile Inside a Mansion in Alamos Town}

"AGH!" Screamed a voice in pain.

"Your reign of evil is over Darkrai!" Said a man.

"Only in your pathetic mind Baron Asshole! Now release me!" Growled Darkrai shaking the chains trying to get free.

"It's Alberto you worthless evil Pokémon!" Shouted the man now known as Alberto before pushing a button on his chair.

"AGH!" Yelled Darkrai as he got electrocuted again.

"Once I finish you Alice shall see as the hero and leave that worthless Tonio."

"That is the biggest pile of Tauros shit I've ever heard."

"Shut up you evil demon!"

"AGH!"

{Back to Ash and Arceus}

After some minutes of colorful stars and galaxies, Arceus flew out of the portal and both she and Ash can see Alamos Town with its famous towers in full-view.

"Wow!" Said Ash completely amazed at the sight.

Quickly using her powers, she turned herself and Ash invisible and flew towards the garden as fast as she without throwing Ash off. Once she landed, she immediately dropped her invisibility surprising the local Pokémon.

"What Pokémon is that?"

"S-s-s-such a b-b-big Pokémon!"

"Is that a human child on its back?"

Arceus ignoring the other Pokémon turned her head towards Ash told him to go play with some of the Pokémon whom looked friendly enough while she went to look for Darkrai. After some time of asking the local Pokémon and growling in frustration as they kept asking her why she wasting her time looking for the demon. Then at long last, she met a Gallade who is kind enough to tell her where he last seen Darkrai and offer her his help which she gladly accept.

{Ash}

Ash is having the time of his life as he played an innocent game of tag with a shiny male Shinx, a female Azurill, and a shiny female Ralts. Ash kept on trying to tag the Ralts who kept on using Teleport to avoid Ash giggling all the while. Soon Ash gave up on Ralts and chased Shinx. Ash soon gain enough speed to tag the poor Shinx by the tail thus making Shinx the one who is now it. The game went on for an hour and would have gone on if Ash hadn't just stop.

"Why did you stop?" Asked Shinx lowering his ears.

"Come on let's play more!" Said Azurill bouncing on her tail with excitement.

"Are you tired?" Asked Ralts looking at Ash with concern.

"Did any of hear that?" Asked Ash.

"Hear what?" Asked Ralts feeling worried about her new friend.

"I thought I just heard someone calling for help."

"I didn't hear anything." Said Shinx wiggling his ears to locate this call for help.

"But I swear I heard someone calling."

"Somebody please help me!" Shouted a voice interrupting Ash.

Quickly without giving it any second thought, the four rush towards the voice.

{Arceus}

"So this is Alberto's mansion?" Asked Arceus as she looked at the massive building.

"Yes this is where that idiot lives, but why did you want to come here?" Answered Gallade as he too looked at the mansion.

"When you said that Alberto hates Darkrai more than anything else. That lead to think that Alberto capture Darkrai to possibly torture him before finishing him."

"What's makes you say that?"

"I have learn all humans are capable of behaving very cold hearted and very violent once aroused. Fortunately nearly all the human despise and even hate that kind of behavior."

"Okay if you say so… So what do you plan to do?"

"I plan on using my power to feel if Darkrai is inside the mansion and what his condition is. If it is as I think it is then we attack. However we'll leave Alberto alive so he can be thrown into jail for cruelty to Pokémon. I shall deal with him once he enters the afterlife. Also we need to find evidences to prove he is guilty."

"Why do we need evidence?"

"Because some humans like to frame others for crimes they never committed. So the rule is the suspect is innocent until proven guilty."

"Okay I understand now."

At once Arceus concentrated on the mansion and at once felt Darkrai all chained up and hurt. Angry by this and without any attacked the mansion with Gallade right behind her.

{Ash}

"How could someone be so cruel?!" Shouted Ash angrily as he along with Shinx, Azurill, and Ralts looked at a young Pokémon trapped in a weird net that once in a while shocked the poor Pokémon.

Hearing the shout, the Pokémon open its pink eyes and saw a human with three Pokémon. It grew more afraid as it saw the human more closer it with a knife in his hand.

"Stay away from me! Leave me alone!" Shouted the Pokémon in a young female voice with fear.

"Wait! I'm trying to help, please calm down." Said Ash.

"Why then do you have a weapon in your hands?" Countered the unknown female Pokémon.

"To free you from the net. Please listen I came here because I heard you call for help and I'm here to help you. Look my name is Ash and I don't mean you any harm. Now will you please please let me help you?! It must not be very comfortable in that net."

"…"

"Please let Ash help you. He is only trying to help." Said Ralts backing up Ash's claim with Azurill and Shinx nodding their heads in agreement.

"…Fine… Please get me out of this net."

Without hesitating, Ash quickly got to work as he carefully cut away the strange net that trapped the female Pokémon inside. Both Ash and the female Pokémon yelped in pain as they were shocked by the net, but ignored it. Slowly but surely, Ash continue cutting away at the net until finally freed the female Pokémon.

"There you go you're finally free." Spoke Ash feeling proud of himself.

"Thank you. I really appreciate it."

"Aww it was nothing, I'm glad to help. I hate to see-"

"WHAT THE HELL! ALRIGHT KID HAND OVER THAT CRESSELIA AND NOBODY GETS HURT!" Shouted an angry male voice interrupting Ash.

The Pokémons and human turned and saw an adult man pointing a gun at Ash. Ash look confused wondering what a Cresselia then immediately figured that is what the female Pokémon is.

"Why should I?" Shouted Ash standing in front of the Cresselia to shield her of further harm.

"Don't you know kid that Cresselia is worth a lot of money in the black market and if you don't move, you'll have a bullet in your head in the count of ten. ONE!"

Without any hesitation, Shinx quickly attacked the man with Thunder Wave paralyzing the man. Ash taking his chance ordered Ralts to get an officer at once and run toward the man smacking him with a stick. Azurill then attacked with Soak and Shinx attacked again this time using Spark.

The man yelled in great pain and manage to punch Ash in the stomach knocking the wind out of him. Ash collapsed to the ground clutching his stomach in pain as pointed the gun again at Ash looking murderous.

"I just had enough of you kid! Now Die!"

Cresselia quickly use Confusion snatching the gun out of the man's hand and threw him some distance away from Ash. She quickly floated in front of Ash determine to protect him as he had protect her.

"Why you little!"

"Freeze! You're under arrest!" Shouted a women.

"Like hell I'll be going to jail Officer Jenny!" Shouted the man and ran off.

"Arcanine stop him." Shouted Officer Jenny throwing a Poké ball.

Arcanine chased and successfully tackled the man to the ground. The Pokémon kept a paw pressed on the man's back to kept him from getting back up to run away again. The man growled cursing all the while as Officer Jenny approach the man handcuffing him and dragged him off to jail with Arcanine keep a close eye on him.

"Great job Ralts! You save us just in time!" Said Ash congratulating Ralts whom blushed with embarrassment and pride.

Cresselia look at the boy whom save her even at the risk of his own life. She just stared at the boy then decided to do something that will forever change her life.

"Celestia."

"What?"

"My name is Celestia." Said the young Cresselia blushing.

"What a nice name." Complemented Ash as Celestia blushed into a darker shade.

Shinx, Azurill, and Ralts all jaw-dropped with great surprise. For they have just witnessed a Pokémon telling someone their birth name. They knew that a Pokémon's birth name is one of their most guarded secret and only to reveal that name to their mate or their most trusted friends. Never have any of them ever thought they would learn the birth name of a Legendary Pokémon.

"Wow Ash you are really lucky." Said Shinx deeply impressed.

"Why you say that?"

"Learning a Pokémon's birth name is very rare and one of their most guarded name. We Pokémon don't give out our birth name to anyone unless we trust them with our life."

Ash was speechless and stare at Celestia whom turn her face away from Ash to hide her blush.

{Arceus}

Both Arceus and Gallade were breathing deeply as they catch their breath after a long fight. Lying on the ground laid Alberto unconscious with his Lickilicky, Dusknoir, Forretress, Rhyperior, Magmortar, and Electivire out cold. Arceus returned to her human and is carrying Darkrai on her back whom is unconscious and badly hurt.

"Have you got the tape?" Asked Arceus looking at Gallade.

"Sure do. Are you sure this is enough?" Answer Gallade showing her the videotape.

"Yes it is. It has Alberto torturing Darkrai and yelling at his Pokémon cruelly when he was losing so that is hard evidences of him abusing Pokémon. Now let's hurry to a Pokémon Center, Darkrai here needs treatment."

Gallade nodded his head and the two rushed towards the Pokémon Center as fast as possible. After fifteen minutes of pushing and shoving people out of their way, they reach the Pokémon Center and slam through the door.

"Nurse Joy! We got an emergency on our hands!" Shouted Arceus trying to get the nurse's attention.

"What is the emergency?!" Asked Joy as she rushed to them.

"I've got a badly injured Darkrai whom was being tortured by Alberto and I got proof with this tape."

"I'll look into the tape after I finish giving Darkrai's treatment."

Nurse Joy quickly summoned a Blissey who came with a stretcher and the two took Darkrai and rushed him into the emergency room. Time went flying by and the sun is beginning to set when Nurse Joy finally came out the emergency room with Darkrai floating behind her wearing a cast on his left arm.

"As you can see I'm happy to announce Darkrai is fully heal, however his left arm is broken and it will take at least two months before its fully mended. Other than that he is healthy enough to leave and one more thing, I seen the tape and reported it to Officer Jenny. I can tell you this Alberto is going to be lock up for a long time."

"Thank you Joy for your assistance. I truly appreciate it."

"It's my job to look after injured Pokémon. However I'm glad to help."

Shortly then Nurse Joy left to look after other hurt Pokémon as for Darkrai, just stare at the woman who save him.

"Okay who are you?" Darkrai finally asked.

"I'll explain once we enter the garden away from these humans."

Darkrai made an expression of someone raising an eyebrow, however followed the woman with Gallade right behind them. Soon they enter the garden and were far from any human, Darkrai turned to Arceus. But before he could speak, she transformed into her true form and Darkrai jaw-dropped as he recognized the Pokémon.

"Y-y-y-you're the Legendary Pokémon spoken through myths! You're the Legendary Alpha Pokémon Arceus!" Darkrai sputtered.

"Wait you're the Pokémon that spoken only in myths and I thought you were an ordinary legendary Pokémon!" Shouted Gallade in surprise.

"Whether I'm spoken through myths or not I don't care. However there is no denying that I am the Original One." Arceus said confirming their suspicion.

"Nor do I need any special treatment." She added as Darkrai and Gallade were bowing to her like idiots.

"Sorry my lady."

{Much Later}

Gallade left saying that he had to return home or that his mate will kill him for being so late and left them as Darkrai and Arceus argued over Darkrai serving Arceus. In the end, they agreed that Darkrai himself will help watch Ash and join him as his Pokémon in the future. The two Legendary Pokémon soon left planning to return the same after they finish their own task.

Arceus spent twenty minutes looking for her son growing more frustrated and worried the longer it was taking her until she found him and she is surprise at what she is seeing. She saw Ash playing with Shinx, Azurill, and Ralts, but that isn't what surprised her it was a Cresselia who looked like that she is Ash's age.

"My son is playing with a Legendary Pokémon just like Darkrai! Hmm… I don't think she sees my son as friend with the way she is acting. I think she see my son much more than her best friend. Ash you have gain yourself a girlfriend without even knowing it." Arceus thought while slightly giggling to herself.

Deciding she watched enough and knowing Darkrai is perhaps waiting for her, went to pick up her son.

"Ash!" She called out getting Ash's attention.

Ash hearing his mother's call rushed to her without any hesitation with the four Pokémon children following him.

"Hi mom! Did you help Darkrai?"

"Yes and he is coming with us. I just left to pick you up."

"Okay then. Sorry guys, but it looks like it is time for me to leave."

"It's okay Ash. We have to go home as well. Thanks for play with us." Said Ralts with Shinx and Azurill saying their thanks and all three left for their homes.

Celestia however looked horrified with the prospect of Ash leaving her.

"Ash wait please don't leave!" She said horrified.

"Celestia, I really enjoy my time with you. However it is time for me to go home."

"No! I don't want to be all lonely again!" Celestia shouted and without any warning, she to Ash hugging him with tears in her eyes.

"Celestia? She trust him to know her birth name. With the way she is acting, does she even have a home? Where is her mother?" Arceus thought as she watched the scene.

"Celestia do you even have a home? Where is your mother?" Asked Arceus gently.

"NO! I don't have a home! My beautiful mother was killed by a female hunter who wanted us for profit! She died protecting me so I could escape!" Said Celestia sobbing her sorrow with Ash hugging to comfort her.

Arceus looked at her with pity and thought deeply then gained an idea.

"How would you feel if you come and live with Ash and I. You would have food, shelter, and a home." She said.

"Plus you get to spend time with Ash." She added making Celestia blush.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Celestia answered without any hesitation.

"Then let us head off. You two get on my back." Arceus finished and lowered herself so Ash could climb on.

After Ash climb on with Celestia holding on to his back, Arceus rose back to her feet and move to collect Darkrai. Once she return to the meeting spot, she Darkrai standing there feeling impatient with a bag next to him.

"About dam time!" Thought Darkrai grumpy.

"Hello to you too Darkrai and yes I can read your thoughts." Said Arceus sternly.

"SHIT!" Panicked Darkrai.

"Have you finished saying your farewell?"

"Yes. Alice was upset at first, but she understood while Tonio accept that this is what I want to do. Also the bag has my favorite books and berries that are given to me as a farewell gift." Answered Darkrai as he got on her back.

Once Darkrai secured himself, Arceus turned herself and her riders invisible and took to the air opening the same portal and flew into it.
