/gives Silver the Azure Flute

[relaxceus]

Or rather; when Silver is journeying, Kyurem rattles from within its Pokéball, foretelling something powerful to come... Hilda has long gone to beat the Elite Four to get money out of them, leaving Silver alone, in an area filled to the brim with a powerful and familiar energy...

[this world's take on his--]

You know- Is he okay? Do you know? [And what about Crys? Are things okay? Is he still there to do what he needs to? What's going on? There are millions of questions he could ask, but--]

[relaxceus]

Yeah man he's cool, bro, goin' and doin' his thing. Everything's workin' out smooth over there. Well, smooth for over there. Like I said, the place is pretty hardcore.

[tsuntrader]

[Good. Good. The relief is clearly visible on his face... If only for a moment.

Because more questions are left unanswered. Questions about why he's here, how he's here, whether or not he'll leave, what will happen- but they aren't questions he can simply ask.]

[relaxceus]

Why you wiggin' out little dude?

[tsuntrader]

[Huh- oh, right, uh-]

You're Arceus. It's nothing you'd really care about.

[relaxceus]

You got questions, little man? I mean, you're all displaced and stuff, I can get why you're all wondering the wonders of the universe and stuff.

But don't worry man, if your universe really needs you, it'll grab you again... but it ain't got time for that. I like this place more, 's more calm. I mean sometimes people gonna be the way they gotta be and they get all up and... man I dunno. I don't like it sometimes but I can't be judgin, I can't tell you guys what to do and how to be. Free will, man. Best thing I ever came up with.

[tsuntrader]

[But I was in the middle of- but that's- why are you-

He tries not to sound too exasperated when he sighs- the keyword being "tries".]

[relaxceus]

Y'know, to make it up to you, I'll tag along with you for a while! That way, bad things are less likely to happen.

[Arceus you're just going to overstay your welcome.]

[tsuntrader]

...You'll what?

[relaxceus]

Y'know, we can hang. You can get a good ol' free pass for a while. Be my "trainer" and stuff.

You can even catch me.

[tsuntrader]

[silver.exe has stopped responding.]

[relaxceus]

But you should, y'know, put up a fight? I mean I'm not forcing anything outta you but I always think it's more fun for me.

1/2

[tsuntrader]

[But I don't want to catch-]

[tsuntrader]

[Yeah you know what fuck it okay if he has to battle godllama then so be it let's go Kingdra let's make it rain]

[relaxceus]

[Excellent. The first order of business iiiiis... Arceus returns the mind plate, and withdraws the iron plate, equipping it.]

[tsuntrader]

[...This is still so strange to watch. This entire situation is strange. But now... Now Arceus' presence really makes him tremble, to lock up, if only for a moment.

And then it just makes him excited. He's getting an opportunity to fight with and understand Arceus. Which plate is that again? The... Spooky Plate, was it? The Iron Plate? It looks more like the latter...

Regardless, Kingdra does what Kingdra does best- she uses Surf. He has no doubt that he'll need all of his Pokémon. No doubt at all. But he should at least try to gauge the strength of Arceus...]

[relaxceus]

[The surf hits Arceus, but with its new Steel Typing, it does little. Arceus lets out a mighty, ringing bellow, its unearthly cry chiming in the air.

Before it completely disappears, in a ghostly haze. The feeling, the dread of the attack is very similar to Giratina's aura...]

[tsuntrader]

[This time, he can feel it in full force. That overwhelming power, and Arceus doesn't even need to be in front of him. His knees and arms tremble and his legs threaten to go out from under him.

Arceus' entire presence is on another level. A different plane of existence.

But he has to keep fighting. He doesn't put Kingdra away, but he lets out Feraligatr regardless.]

Earthquake! [He doesn't just think he'll need all of his Pokémon. He knows it.]

[relaxceus]

[Arceus reappears, slamming fiercely into Kingdra with Shadow Force. The earthquake lands a blow, and the god Pokémon lets out a great bellow. It rears up on its hind legs, before bringing them down sharply, aiming a Spacial Rend attack at Feraligatr.]

[tsuntrader]

[St...eel...?

Arceus is heavy regardless. He tosses Weavile out of his ball this time, hoping to hit Arceus with a Low Kick.

And not a second too soon, because he gets hit by the Spacial Rend along with Feraligatr and they're both sent flying back.]

[relaxceus]

[Ouch. Arceus come tumbling and crashing down, taking a hard hit. Time to switch up the plates - let's have a dragon typing for now.

It'll make that Roar of Time all the more terrifying.]
