The Dark Chronicles Chapter 23

I sighed as I looked over Pewter, such a perfect example of human culture. Even in the dead of night it was still alive; the city lights eliminating the buildings and the streets below. People still walked around going to do thinks even at night. It was amazing the more I thought about it. Standing on a rooftop, I could see everything.

I'm sure by now your wondering 'Whoa, Night how did you get on a roof?" We'll guess what, I'm not Night. He is asleep in his hotel room.

I am Azelf, remember me, one of the lake trio. Night, despite how resourceful he is, can't tell you the whole story. I can show you things that humans have never seen before , so consider yourself lucky.

It was about 12 at night (or in the morning if you want to be a smart-ass ) and I was looking down at the city but I was also thinking about something else. What Night said before had resonated with me. Never before had I ever questioned Arceus, but Night just did and it was a good point. Arceus had never done anything bad, but it was weird that she said we couldn't help her. Apparently only Night and company could, it was questionable.

"You do state a good point." said a deep voice from behind me.

I almost peed myself, I didn't even sense anyone around me and it scared the crap out of me. I quickly turned around to see who it was. "Jeez Mewtwo, don't do that."

The Mew clone was levitating a few feet away from me, his arms crossed and his purple eyes glaring down on me. "Azelf...how did your talk with the Umbreon go?"

I sighed, Mewtwo never asked me questions unless he knew I had been lying. I wasn't even supposed to tell Night about Arceus' condition, and I've told him too much already. By the look on his face I could tell that the cat wasn't very happy.

"Look..." I started "I know what your thinking, but I thought it would be better in the long run if he and the Pokemon traveling with him know about the situation as soon as possible.."

Mewtwo thought about what I said "I suppose that that wouldn't be to bad, your off the hook for that." He land on the roof and walked up to the edge "Have you talked to to Vulpix yet?"

"No , not yet." I replied

Mewtwo stroked his chin "Good, Mew said he wanted to talk to her himself, he thinks she could be silver fox."

I raised a brow "How could she be the silver fox, she's pink."

The feline looked at me "Because the silver fox isn't born sliver, it is born an odd color. I doesn't matter, we'll find out when she evolves."

"How will we know when she evolves, does something bizarre happen?"

Mewtwo nodded "Yes Azelf, for you see, if this Vulpix is the silver fox when she evolves she won't turn into a Ninetails."

Now I was confused "How is that possible?"

Mewtwo smiled "It's to hard to explain, but in the mean time try to watch out for the dog trio. We have reason to believe that they are on the hunt for the Umbreon, so keep him safe."

I smirked "I'll do my best, tell Mew and the others I said hi."

And with that, Mewtwo vanished only leaving me with my thoughts, and what dangerous thoughts they were. Arceus was like the queen of all legendaries, like a god, and if anyone defied her I don't know what would happen. No one had ever even gave a second thought when Arceus said something, they just listened and believed what they heard. But the seed had been planted, Night's words had resonated. Arceus wasn't making any sense, and I needed to find out why.

I took one more look at the city below me before saying "I need to have a talk with you Arceus."
