Give Nickname to Caught Arceus?
by AlchemistNemesis
Jimbo took a long sip of his RC because he liked to be spitefully different, took a long breath, and blew the Azure Flute. The song from the flute was beautiful to the point where his trusty Bidoof did nasty things to his leg.
"Bidoof! Quit it!" said Jimbo, adjusting his ill-fitting Pokemon Trainer hat in untold disgust.
The untold disgust became untold…non-disgust as a crystal blue stairway led to the top of the highest spear pillar. He climbed. He climbed some more. He trudged. He stomped.
When he got to the top, he vomited from his lack of energy right off the side of the column, where the god of pokemon, Arceus stood proudly.
"Jimbo," it said, as it took a single step forward and its light obscured all else to a direct onlooker, which is frickin' cool.
"Holy crap! This is amazing!"
"Be not afraid in my presence."
"No, did you see how
far down my barf went?! It's like a mile or 20,000 leagues above
the sea or something!"
"That's nothing, you idiot! I'm
Arceus for Chrissake! No, no, I'm Arceus for Arceussake! I'm that
important, and you dare to--"
"Whoa. See, Bidoof, that guy is why you don't run out in front of cars. He's alive, but he'll have to live with a steering wheel around him for the rest of--"
"I'm the god of all pokemon! I'm probably even the god of you!"
"Yeah, uh, cool."
"I AM BEYOND
COOL!"
"Are you a pokemon, by any chance?"
"I INVENTED POKEMON!"
"…but are you one?"
"YES, INGRATE."
"Okay." Jimbo reached into the pocket of his chocolate-stained overalls. "Master ball, go!"
"WAIT waitwaitwaitwait no no no no no no please no please oh God no." Arceus found it hard to cower with the mystical gold steering wheel impeding its movement.
"Um…so, you're scared of master balls."
"I am never scared! I invented scared!"
"Alrighty, master ball, g--"
"I-just-had-a-bad-experience-with-them-or-something-either-way"--Arceus drew a long breath-- "they're-bad-so-yes-now-that-I-think-about-it-they-scare-the-crap-out-of-me."
"Oh. Okay, I'm sorry."
"No, I'm sorry…this is why nobody likes me…I hate myself and want to--"
"I'll use an ultra ball! Ultra ball, go!"
"I can handle that."
Too bad Arceus didn't know the difference between an ultra ball and a master ball by sight, because that was a master ball.
"All right! Hey, Bidoof, I caught Arceus! What do you think I should name him?"
"Bidooooooooooof!"
"Hm…I think I'll name him 'Snookie.'"
