Arceus is appreciated by everyone. Note the sarcasm. Make this stop!

' Ok, so wait a second will ya, young lads? Ju-Just try to imagine* it. Picture it. Picture the scene.

Jirachi floated by my side and standing before me, was a dumbfounded eighteen year old ravenette with chocolate brown eyes wearing a light blue shirt under a white vest, an orange coloured tie, grey trousers and black shoes, gaping at none other than me, Arceus. His figure was shadowed by the two dragons standing right behind him; Dialga and Palkia.

They were surrounded by white clouds in an azure blue sky with Meloetta performing a ballet over the many rainbows found in the background. Cresselia flew past Dialga, greeting him with a nod. Ho-oh's mighty cry echoed in the distance while Celebi fluttered towards Moeletta. Yes, picture it!

The boy, Lancelot was his name. I am sure he must have been awestruck by my magnificence or else why would he make such a face? ' Arceus thought as he gazed at the teenager that had ended up here by mistake.

Besides him, Jirachi shifted uncomfortably. She knew what her superior was thinking and the other two legendary Pokemon present did too. She and the Temporal and Spacial entities shared an exasperated glance.

Jirachi cleared her throat. Arceus blinked.

" Ah, yes. Lancelot! " Arceus said. " I suppose you are wondering where you are? "

Still gaping, the ravenette nodded.

" You are in the Pokemon Universe. In a realm that I created to allow Legendary Pokemon to gather and relax. " he tilted his head to the side, " Perhaps, back in your world, you would call it 'Heaven'? "

Lancelot gasped. Then, he suddenly shrieked and jumped on the spot out of excitement. Arceus and Jirachi stared curiously at the human boy. Dialga and his counterpart watched quietly Lancelot's strange behaviour.

" WOOHOO! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. OH MY GO- I mean Arceus. I'M IN THE POKEMON WORLD AND AMONG THE LEGENDARY!? " Lancelot exclaimed happily, " HOLY- Oh wait, this story is supposed to be free of any swearing- WHATEVER. "

The high schooler stopped abrutly in his speech. " But, I died. That soul reaper told me so. Then, how? How and why did I end up here instead of- well - where I was supposed to be ? "

" Aha! I was awaiting this question. Let me explain. " Arceus said while Dialga sighed and Palkia rolled his eyes at the tone he used.

Jirachi was starting to run out of patience but she did well to keep her grumbling to herself.

Arceus ceremoniously cleared his throat. " You see, young lad. You were killed. Involuntarily killed by one of your classmates. " the 'creator ' paused, waiting for the ravenette's reaction.

One minute passed.

Then, two.

Lancelot glanced over his shoulder trying to get a clue from Palkia as to why Arceus had stopped. The embodiment of Space shook his head and held up a board. Lancelot had to squint his eyes to see what was written on it:

' He's waiting for your reaction, duh! '

' How can such a large being have such a small handwriting? ' the teenager thought. His eyes widened when the was finally able to read the message.
Lancelot made an exaggerated gasp. " How? Who was it?"

Arceus overlooked the reaction- time delay, somehow completely falling for Lancelot's very bad acting.

" It was Han Shinwoo from your class. But as I said, it was an accident. He was trying to protect his friends from a mutant and used a trash can. However the trash can was deviated from its path and hit you on the nape as you were crossing the road. "

" WHAAAAT!? You can't be serious ! "

" Oh, but I am. It is the truth. Let me continue now. Where was I? Ah, yes- you were hit by the trash can and you died. And then, your soul was collected by a soul reaper.

" However, it seemed that that very soul reaper was an airhead. As he crossed the intersection between your world and the Pokemon World, something caught his attention and he forgot your soul there. Then, your soul drifted here and that's how you ended up in my realm. "

Lancelot's jaw dropped to the ground. Utter disbelief painted his face. After a fraction of a second however, he decided to trust Arceus. After all, he was a loyal Pokemon fan and his first games- he had watched playthroughs of the other games on Utube* and was able to get a Bentendo* game console only recently- were the Black and White versions as well as their sequels.

' Unova is the best region. ' That's what he used to say and firmly believes it to be true. The ravenette was more than delighted to have the privilege of merely standing before Arceus himself. It was an honour.

"...that's why I, Arceus, have decided to give you a second chance at life. " the Pokemon said when Lancelot tuned back into the conversation. " In one week's time, you shall be reborn into the Pokemon World. "

" Do I get to choose in which region? "

" Umm... Why not?"

The three other Legendary Pokemon present almost had their eyes bulging out of their sockets. The child actually got to decide where he was to reborn!? What now? Maybe it'll start raining Froakies? Magikarps?

" Once you have chosen the region, I shall hear you out. But not now, in one week, I have things to do. "

Arceus grabbed a straw hat and suitcase out of nowhere and flew away, shouting, " Alola! See you in one week. " he waved a leg at them.

The group watched Arceus disappear behind a cloud.

Jirachi snorted loudly. " He is finally gone. "

" One more minute and I would have gone crazy. " Palkia added.

" Ditto what you said, Palkia. " Dialga agreed. He turned to Lancelot. " I guess that leaves you under our responsibility, human boy. "

Jirachi flew to Lancelot. " We should arrange a place for you to rest and spend the night. "

" I'll show him around. " Palkia proposed.

The Temporal Pokemon facepalmed. " What is there to show except for a never-ending stretch of clouds! "

The Spatial Pokemon shrugged. " I could introduce him to the other Legendary. "

" That's not a bad idea. " Jirachi said. " I'll see with Cresselia if we can arrange a place to sleep for him. "

" Thank you. I am more than grateful for that. " Lancelot said giving a small bow.

Jirachi chuckled. " No problem. See you in a few hours. "

***

Clouds, clouds, clouds And even more clouds.

Lancelot recalled that logic apparently did not form part of the Pokemon World since Max was able to carry a Munchlax on his back, Ash a Tyranitar in his back-pack and that Lyra absolutely did not notice Lugia when Ethan walked up to her with the Psychic/ Flying type following.

So, he gave up on asking why the iron table he was at, did not sink through the clouds nor did his chair. The ravenette glanced at Palkia, drumming his fingers on the table.

" Umm...So? " he started.

The Spatial Pokemon slowly looked up from the manga he was reading. Lancelot deduced from its cover that it starred a Prinplup going on a quest with a Chimchar. An ' evil ' version of Dialga loomed over the fourth generation's starters.

" What's up? " Palkia replied.

The ravenette met the Space entity's gaze. " I was wondering... You can fly because you have wings, don't you? "

" Correct. "

" Then, can you perhaps explain Dialga's case? "

" What case? "

" How can he fly? " Lancelot asked.

" Oh! Well... that's... Dialga ain't got wings. I guess he- " Palkia's eyes widened in realisation. The ravenette gave him a firm nod.

They both gazed at the Temporal Pokemon as the latter chatted with Celebi.

" The only explanation possible? Dialga walks on sunshine. " Lancelot stated.

As of on cue, the song ' I'm walking on sunshine ' started playing from invisible loud speakers while Palkia now viewed his counterpart in a whole different light.

***

"..." Palkia and Dialga stared. Lancelot however sparkled with happiness.

".... " Giratina stared back at the Space and Time entities. A blonde boy sat cross-legged, at his feet, eyes closed.

" What are you doing here? " Dialga boomed.

" We won't allow you to wreak havoc in this realm too. " Palkia warned.

Giratina shook his head. " I came here for Blondie. " he bent down and nudged the blonde gently.

" It's Maisen, Gi. How many times did I tell you not to call me Blondie. " the younger boy said. He was around twelve and wore Lucas' attire minus the red hat. He stood up, giving Lancelot a handshake. " It's nice to have another human here. Even though It's just for a week. "

Lancelot nodded. " Nice to meet you. I'm Lancelot Grimbell. "

Maisen raised an eyebrow. " What an unusual name. " the boy made a small bow, " Maisen Katsumi. Oh! Palkia. Dialga. No need to worry. Gi and I shall go shortly. I have something- no- I'll just look around. "

The other two legendary Pokemon were not completely convinced but they let Lancelot and Maisen chat for a bit.

Something Giratina will always view as the greatest sacrilege in history.

Why? Because the conversation was about music and eventually went to singing.

" Why don't you sing too? " the blonde asked handing a microphone to Lancelot.

Lancelot grinned. " Sure. " He cleared his throat and began.

" I WANNA BE THE VERY BEST
LIKE NO ONE EVER WAS
TO CATCH THEM IS MY REAL TEST
TO TRAIN THEM IS MY CAUSE- "

Chaos erupted among those present as their ears suffered from Lancelot's horrible 'melodious attacks.' *

Maisen clasped his hands over his ears. Giratina winced in pain. In a single, swift swoop, the Renegade Pokemon grabbed his blonde friend and retreated to the Distortion World. The Spatial Pokemon banged his head against a random lamp-post while the Temporal Pokemon crawled away from the ravenette little by little.

" -I WILL TRAVEL ACROSS THE LAND
SEARCHING FAR AND WIDE
TEACH POKEMON TO UNDERSTAND
THE POWER THAT'S INSIDE

" POKEMON ( GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL )
IT'S YOU AND ME
I KNOW IT'S MY DESTINY
POKEMON
OH YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND
IN A WORLD WE MUST DEFEND

" POKEMON GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL
A HEART SO TRUE
OUR COURAGE WILL PUSH US THROUGH
YOU TEACH ME AND I'LL TEACH YOU- "

Meloetta dropped onto the clouds, her tiny hands clasped onto her ears while shouting like a crazy.

" MAKE THIS STOP! MAKE IT STOP! NOW!!! " She clawed her way to the teenager.

" - POKEMON! ( GOTTA CATCH ' EM ALL ) GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL! "

Meloetta snatched the microphone from Lancelot's hand. Cresselia appeared out of nowhere. The Lunar Pokemon put the human boy to sleep thus restoring peace upon Arceus' realm.
