Moonlit Hope
Magolor was still stunned at the fact Darius and Eber were in front of him.
Then again, there was that space conduit space-time distortion beside them. Guess Belos was wary of it as well. Magolor clutched the Temporal Pokemon's Poke Ball hidden in his cloak and started fidgeting with it, not knowing what to say to his old friends.
"Warden Magolor? Is something the matter?" Dialga telepathically asks as Magolor chuckles it off outwardly, but his response telepathically was nervous. "I-I don't know... I... guess I never thought I'd see them this soon..."
Dialga decided not to bust out of their ball for now. Would probably make messes if he did. And burdening their Warden was not what they wanted right now. Not that he'd want it anytime.
Darius tried questioning the chuckle, but decided not to, seeing the space-time distortion in front of them was far more important. Magolor breathed out a sigh of relief. A huge one.
"S-so... what brings ya to the Knee? Considering the fact that you two are Coven Heads..." Magolor nervously queried, as Eberwolf growled at the space-time distortion, the bark sounding deadpan. Magolor felt stupid on the spot. "Ah, right. More 'spatial' conduct and a small mix of 'temporal' conduct. What's it doing here of all places... well, time and space are shitted somewhere or somewhen."
"I seriously forgot you liked doing that. Being vague, I meant." Darius smirked, knowing this will get the ire of his old friend.
And indeed, it did. "Excuse me?!" he gasped dramatically, "What I meant to say was, stay out! Gee, some people these days..."
The Abomination Coven Head chuckled. "Thought so."
"Grouff!"
"SHUT IT, YOU TWO!!"
"Wurf!"
"Nyapon...." Magolor muttered, switching to the standard Pokespeak
He then checked his phone due to the fact it was ringing nonstop.
“Aw, HELL NO!” he snarled, “Ugh. Pippin alert!”
Eber barked to get his attention, then mimed a ‘what?’
“A grade A asshole that thinks whatever her leader says is sooooooo right! Gee, Shade, send a message to our dear friends Gabe and Kirby! TITAN, I LIVE WITH IDIOTS! The nerve of that little piece of shit! Can she shut it for like... 24 hours?!
Ugh! The nerve of her! Gee, golly! I guess even the Titan or maybe Arceus can go on and on, and she still won’t listen! Lakalalalalalalalalalaaaaaa!
SO MUCH BIGOTRY, I CAN'T EVEN DEAL WITH HER WITHOUT NEARLY LOSING MY-"
Magolor interrupted himself, or at least that's what it sounded like to Darius and Eberwolf. But in reality, Dialga intervened telepathically.
"Warden, temper, please."
"...fine."
"Roto, roto, roto! Message sent to Gabe!"
"HUH?!" Magolor whipped around to his floating Rotophone. "What do you mean 'message sent'?! I didn't-" the mage paused. "Oh, for Titan's sake. Shade, that was SARCASM!"
"Roto?"
"ARGH! Why do I even bother?"
Magolor looked at the distortion in front of them and looked at Darius and Eber. "Let's go in and get this shit sorted."
It started out great. Even though some part of the time was talking to Gabe. Oh, and Darius poked an Alpha Shiny Garchomp. In the eye. Making Magolor unable to make peace with the alpha. AKA, they were being chased relentlessly.
"CURSE YOU, DARIUS DEAMONNE!"
Currently? Hexside's Mischief Trio was being chased by two Alphas, counting the Shiny Garchomp from earlier.
"Bark!"
"SHUT IT EBER!" Darius and Magolor yelled at the same time.
Magolor trips and nearly drops Dialga's Poke Ball but Darius immediately noticed that Magolor tripped and swooped the mage and the Poke Ball back up, the warden thanking him before u-turning.
"Heh, sorry, but we're in a pinch..." Magolor hurled the Poke Ball. "Dazzle on, Lord Dialga! Dragon Pulse, Strong Style!"
"Sacrificing my speed for power? I'm presuming you want to knock out the Garchomp first?"
"Precisely."
Darius, meanwhile, was fuming as Eberwolf was cackling. "You had that all along?!"
"I mean, have ya met me, Dare? I don't act unless it's in my advantage. NOW!"
Dialga executed the move, and one knocked out Garchomp, but it did leave him open for Oshawott. But that's where Magolor came in. "Inizio... restart... finale~"
"Wurk?"
"Go in for the hit! Dragon Claw!"
The Oshawott tried to retaliate with an Agile Style Water Pulse, but Dialga was faster. One Dragon Claw, yet it still wasn’t down for the count.
Magolor tsked. “We’re in a hurry, so… Roar of Time, Strong Style!”
Dialga soared up in the air, and opened his mouth, stabilizing his own internal energy while also drawing in the Isles’ ever flowing energy mixed with the energy brought by the space-time distortion and looked at the Alpha Oshawott and fired.
“Brace yoursleves, you two!” Magolor yelled at Darius and Eberwolf.
Eber immediately braced himself while also planting himself near Magolor, as Darius spun a spell circle, bringing some Abomination Magic for protection that Magolor bolstered by adding his own magic in the mix, and by also utilizing his Battle Bond with Dialga, a light shined from him and Dialga, which was also the reason why he asked his two friends to brace.
“That… was way more powerful.” Magolor remarked, as the distortion flickered, the energy unstable.
Magolor took put his phone again, and turned off the speech to text.
“We’re fucked.”
He then tried typing back to Gabe, but the distortion’s flickering not only shot bolts everywhere but also struck his Rotophone. Thank the stars Shade managed to return himself to his Poke Ball.
“FUCK!”
Darius, Magolor and Dialga tried to keep up the shield, aiming to get out, but the distortion faded.
With the quartet in it, they also faded with it.
Nightfall, Fabled Spring, Coronet Highlands, Hisui
“Cle? Fairy?” A Clefairy trills, trying to nudge Magolor, Eberwolf, Darius and Dialga up, to no avail.
“Fable.” The Alpha Clefable in the area called out to the Clefairy, which ran up to the Alpha after using Healing Wish on the quartet.
“Mmrgh…” Magolor opened his eyes, seeing that his and Dialga’s Battle Bond was still active, and shot up. He immediately reached for the phone lying near him, and also nabbed a Poke Ball from his cape.
“Shade… c’mon…”
The Rotom lunged for the phone. Opening the screen, Magolor sighed in relief. He immediately typed a message to Gabe, and sent it.
The Warden floated himself up. Looked at the red sky, then at the Clefairy and the Alpha Clefable.
“No shit, Sherlock! FUCK, WHY ARE WE HERE?!”
“Clefaaa….” The Alpha Clefable warned. Magolor responded in Pokespeak.
“At ease. I mean no harm, but if I may ask, Lady Clefable, what is the year?”
“…You speak our language? As for the year, I know not.”
“I see… by the red sky, ‘tis impossible to get the sense of time, but I ask thee to drop thy hostilities with mine friends and myself.”
“Friends. Thy consider the Guardian of Time as a friend? And on what basis can I trust thine words? And the energy thy have… art thou in a bond with them?”
Magolor internally gulped. But keeping his composure, he said
“I swear on my position as Lord Dialga’s Warden. They are my friend, just as I am theirs. And yes, indeed I am in a bond with mine lord.”
The Clefable calmed down. She even called over her Clefairies and Cleffas over, letting them play.
Magolor then looked at the sky, looking even worse than the Isles’ own natural red. Not many in the Boiling Isles noticed the sheer redness of the sky that wasn’t their own red.
“Time to trigger a Resonance Effect… I’ll lighten your load, mi luna.”
Magolor started to sing. He seemed to hum first then started singing “Golden”
Or at least, he started to sing the pre chorus. Not the first verse.
“Oh I’m done hidin’, now I’m shinin’
Like I’m born to be!
We dreamin’ hard, we came so far
Now I believe!”
“We’re goin’ up, up, up
It’s our moment!”
The wave passed through the skies of the Summit Camp, and also paused an argument between Melli and Lian, as everyone, including them, felt a large wave of hope.
Meta Knight, however, looked to be the most hopeful out of Volo, Celestine, Laventon, Kamado, Lian, Melli, Adaman, Irida and this time’s Dialga.
“Magsie… thank you.”
“You know together we’re glowing!”
In Celestine’s universe, Arthur looked up at the sky, pausing his attempt of looking for Celestine, as the wave passes through the skies.
“What was that?”
“Gonna be, gonna be golden!”
In one world, Tiff looks up at the sky, awestruck at the sight of the wave, and felt so much hope from it.
“Oh, up, up, up,
With our voices!”
In the Fabled Spring, the Clefairy begin to sing along in their own way, joining Magolor, forming a unique sound, yet still sounding like “Golden”
Even the Alpha Clefable sung along, as Dialga stirred, along with Darius and Eberwolf.
“Yeongwonhi kkaejil su еomneun
Gonna be, gonna be golden!”
In Paldea, Marx, Nemona, and their Pokemon paused their match, looking up at the sky, the Resonance Effect kicked in for them immediately, as their match got more heated, both hopeful that they’d win.
“Oh, I’m done hidin’
Now I’m shinin’
Like I’m born to be!”
In one universe…
Kieran looks up from friend’s comatose body and looks at the sky from the nearest window of the hospital.
Looking up at the sky, the wave, he felt some hope.
“I-I’m sorry… I really am…” he muttered as he rushed back into the room.
“Oh, our time, no fears, no lies,
That’s who we’re born to be!”
In another universe, Carmine and Ogerpon looks upwards, feeling the immense hope brought by Magolor’s Resonance Effect, and strengthened their resolve to save this world’s Kieran.
“Waited so long to break these walls down,
To wake up and feel like me…”
In Dreamland, Vivace, Elfilin, and Dedede all felt their loads lighten.
Especially Vivace.
“Put these patterns all in the past now,
And finally live the girl they all see…”
Back in one of the universes, the Kieran that was in the hospital visiting his friend felt way more worse.
He felt even worse than the the time he lost Ogerpon to his friend.
Why? Why had he gotten so jealous? Because of him, because of his selfishness to let go, he nearly lost his friend.
“No more hiding, I’ll be shining
Like I’m born to be!”
In the Boiling Isles, Solaria and Eda, felt their resolve to get what they want from Tibbles get even more stronger.
“Gimme King and the elixirs!”
“And my Treasure Bag.”
“‘Cause we are hunters, voices strong
And I believe!”
Somewhere in the Coronet Highlands, Amethyst and Yurei, the latter arriving a while ago, looked upwards at the sky, where mere seconds before, the wave had passed. Both were wondering what was that wave.
“We’re goin’ up, up, up
It’s our moment!”
In the Fabled Spring, Dialga regained the energy to stand, but chose to sit, looked at the Clefable line, and let out a small roar, as Magolor was too preoccupied, but still waved at him, continuing the Resonance Effect.
“You know together we’re glowing
Gonna be, gonna be golden!”
Joronia temporarily paused her search for the seals as she looked up, the wave from the Resonance Effect passed through, she smiled and continued her search.
“Oh, up, up, up
With our voices
Yeongwonhi kkaejil su eomneun
Gonna be, gonna be golden!”
Darius and Eberwolf finally regained energy to get up, as the song kept going. Magolor, the Clefable line and Dialga, who humed along a few seconds after waking up.
“Oh, I’m done hidin’, now I’m shinin’
Like I’m born to be!”
In the Obsidian Fieldlands, Landorus moves, going in the direction of Mount Coronet after the wave passed through.
“Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That’s who we’re born to be!”
In the Cobalt Coastlands, a thunderstorm rages on, as Thunderus made its presence known.
In the Alabaster Icelands, a blizzard howls, Tornadus approaching the area.
“You know we’re gonna be, gonna be golden!
We’re gonna be, gonna be golden!”
In the Temple of Sinnoh, the raging Palkia ceased movement after the wave passed by, clarity momentarily returning to her, but it was brief. He continued their frenzy afterwards.
“Born to be, born to be glowin’
Balkge bitnaneun urin
You know it’s our time, no fears, no lies
That’s who we’re born to be!”
Magolor ends the song with an immense finale, looking up at the sky joyfully with a hand stretched out upwards.
“Haaah… g-golly… that was… haaaah…”
With that, both Dialga and Magolor’s Battle Bond forms dispersed, as Magolor plummets to the ground, and ended up hugging it.
