Universe 3(REMAKE):The Day The Earth Changed Ch.14

Venasu was silent for a few moments before she began to talk to Electrophos.

“What do you want Electrophos?” asked Venasu

“I need to speak to you about something. Wait a second, do you look different? You look like a regular Venasaur in height. I thought you were trying to beat a record.”

Venasu’s reaction to that comment was an annoyed look on her face.

“First off, that record you’re talking about is a stupid idea, especially since I hate competitions. “Said Venasu

“Second off, if you’re going to ask me whether or not I am a reincarnation of Demeter, then I shall answer your question.”

She took a deep breath and exhaled three centimeters away from her, transforming the swampland into grass with a red flower in the centre of the field.

“I thought the reincarnation of Demeter was supposed to be clean, a mono grass type, someone other than you.” Said Electrophos

“I don’t why I am the reincarnation either; I guess that Demeter wanted to play a joke on humanity this generation.”

“Regardless, we need your help. The planet is infected because of nuclear radiation and the vegetation is destroyed.  We only have a few days left before the mortals suffocate because of the lack of trees on the planet.”

“Why should I help though?  This swampland gives off its own air and has a barrier around it that shields it from radiation. Plus I have a family here that actually makes me happy. People treated me like garbage all my life because I was different, because I was born from a family they despised.”

“Because everyone deserves a second chance. I know if you give them one more chance, you can see the good side. You know that feeling yourself Venasu, you only found out recently that you were a reincarnation of a God, so you know that feeling of mortality. I’m sorry that you were treated like a freak, but this is your chance to prove your worth to the planet.” Said Electrophos

Venasu was silent for a few minutes. Could Electrophos be right?

“Besides, would you want your possible child to be alone? If you don’t help, your line will also end, resulting in extinction.”

Venasu then sighed.

“Fine... Fine. I will assist you in this. Do you need some assistance?” asked Venasu

“No. I will be your bodyguard.”

They left the swamplands, and Venasu began to use her powers to heal the land.

At Ampheon’s shelter, it is now night-time and everyone but Ampheon and Pyroar were asleep.

Ampheon was sitting on a stool when Pyroar walked into the same room.

“Hello Ampheon” said Pyroar

“Hello Pyroar, what is it?” asked Ampheon

“I wanted to talk to you about your plan.”  

“Why?”

“Listen. I understand that you don’t like that the planet is near death and you want to do something to protect the future generations. But guess what; your method is worse than staying on this planet.”

Ampheon then clenched her fists.

“Don’t give me that attitude Ampheon! How on earth can your idea be so great when: 1) your idea is to inhabit a new planet, which may or may not contain new life forms that would rip us to shreds, and 2) Who knows how long it will take to reach that planet. Keep in mind that it takes almost 2 months to travel to Mars even with the fastest Space Shuttle in existence. I’ve seen where Keplar is, but the length would be the same as Mars, but multiplied by 10 or more.”

Ampheon tries to respond, but…

“I’m not done!” shouted Pyroar

“Your method is the same as someone trying to run away from the issue they are having instead of confronting the problem head-on. We caused this issue, but I know we can discover a way to stop it. We created the atom bomb; we can find a way to remove its effects. If we can work together to find a cure instead of trying to retreat, we can fix this problem. I know it.”  

“Okay, I’m done.”

Ampheon was silent and looked depressed.

Pyroar then walked over to Ampheon.

“Look, I understand what you went through in your life. I understand how hard it is to move on from an incident like that and work to prevent it from happening ever again not only to you, but to others.”

“When I was young, I had a cocaine addiction. I stole from so many people and sold my body for money to sustain it. It was an awful point in my life. But you want to know how I kicked the addiction?”

“My son. Although I was pregnant with him at the time, I still smoked cocaine. But one day, I realized that this drug was killing my son, and I got help to stop feeding the addiction and my son was born, albeit with a couple mental issues. But he’s my son, and I love him to bits. If it wasn’t for him, I would be dead.”

“Well that’s good for you Pyroar, but what are you getting at?” asked Ampheon

“What I am getting at is that you can take that issue and work to prevent it from happening ever again. You may not be able to stop it completely, but it’s better to make an impact, then no impact. This also goes for your trust for men. Look, not all men are rapists; they actually care about us, and treat us with respect. I know if you find the right guy, you will understand what I mean. I’m sorry for yelling, but I was trying to tell you the truth without sugar-coating it.” Said Pyroar

“I understand 100 percent Pyroar, and thank you.” Said Ampheon

She then bumped fists with Pyroar.

“Listen Ampheon, I know that if you put your heart into it, you can make a big difference in the world. Every person can make a difference on this planet.”

“It’s getting late, so I will see you in the morning. Night.” Said Pyroar as she walked away.

Ampheon then waved goodbye in response.

“Maybe Pyroar is right. I mean if those couples I have seen are happy, maybe all men aren’t bad after all. But as for this plan, maybe it’s not a great idea after all. I have this power, and yet I am doing the equivalent of running away….” Said Ampheon

At Electrophos’ shelter, everyone is talking about what to do with the air situation.

“Where are the main legendaries in this whole mess?” asked Roserot

“Odds are Roserot, they are dead or left us behind. It’s been several days since the incident, I think it’s safe to assume they’re gone.” Said Arceus

A few feet away, in a dark hallway, Palkia is trying to contact the Hall of Legends.

“Come on. Please pick up.” Said Palkia

She continued this for a few minutes before she ended the psychic stream.

She then lowered her arms and looked like she was about to cry.

“This can’t be…”

All of a sudden, she felt something trying to communicate with her. She used her abilities to finish the connection.

“Who is this?” asked Palkia

The person who responded to Palkia’s question was someone Palkia knew.

“Palkia, it’s me.” Said Palkia’s mom

Palkia’s face turned from sadness to shock and concern.

“Listen, I don’t have much time. This place is collapsing and my life force is running out.”

“But can’t you teleport out?” asked Palkia

“No. That radiation hit the Hall of Legends as well. I am one of the last few Legends still alive, but I am unable to teleport.”

“But there has to be a way! You can’t die!”

“Palkia… I caused you so much grief in your life. All that pain you suffered in your youth was my fault.. I want to let you know so that I can die without regrets. But even then, I know that’s impossible.. I wanted to try and give you closure so that you could live a better life than I ever did. But no matter what you do in life Palkia…. I…… Will…… Always……Lo…ve….y.y.y.ou……………”

The psychic stream then cut off and Palkia was left stunned.  Her mother, the one that she loved for years, the only one who cared for her, was gone..

“No.. This can’t be.. She can’t be gone….” Said Palkia while choking up

“There’s no way.. This has to be a joke….”

She then moved her hands over to her head to try and cover her face as she heard the voices of her former bullies in her head.

“You’re ugly!”

“You’re weak!”

“No one will love you!”

Palkia then began to grit her teeth as her mind transformed those insults into a silhouette of Gothinite.

“You’re a weak, defenseless child!”

That one quote kept playing in her head for a few minutes, while Palkia was getting angrier and angrier.

“You’re not real!” “GET OUT OF MY HEAD!” shouted Palkia

But the voices did not stop; it continued to drive Palkia mad.

After a few minutes, she threw a Spacial Rend at the wall in anger.

“Gothinite, you will pay for this!!!!” shouted Palkia as she left the room to go and find Gothinite.

She reaches a room that looks more like the inside of a brown cave and inside the room is Genesect, Arceus, Roserot,Darkrai and Gothinite.

She then charged up a massive Spacial Rend and threw it at Gothinite.

Luckily, Gothinite was able to dodge the attack by teleporting out of the way, but the Spacial Rend made a crack in the wall as a result.

“What’s your problem Palkia!” shouted Gothinite

Palkia then dashed at Gothinite, grabbed her by the neck and rammed her into the cracked wall, destroying a bit of it and they ended up outside.

She then threw Gothinite into a mountain, resulting in a ton of rubble being released as well as a massive dirt cloud appearing in front of Gothinite.

“You are going to pay for killing my mother!” shouted Palkia

Gothinite then pulled out her scythe as Palkia’s orb in the center of her body began to glow.
