The Death-Bringer and The Life-Giver

Epilogue

A/N: This takes place a few weeks after the Shalour Gym Battle. Lindsey is about ready to face the Elite Four, and later, fighting the Malva. She's just training with me, getting lost, and fighting the Elite Four. Takes place sometime in November.

Few weeks after the memorable  Shalour Gym battle, me and Lindsey were in Route 20, Winding Woods, with Lindsey leading us trying to get to the Pokemon Village. Only she didn't know the way and was getting us lost. "Face it, Linds. We're lost." I said to her, sitting on a rock watching her jump around the clearing, thinking of the path we took to get where we are.

"No! We're not lost! We just need to find a familiar landmark to find where we are..." Lindsey faded out, being completely stubborn about her sense of direction. She went searching in the bushes for no apparent reason at all.

I rolled my eyes to the display. She's just trying to make it look like we're not lost. "Lindsey, you don't know the way. I do." I said, "Though this does remind me of something...I wonder if since we're completely lost is a path going to lead us to the Kingdom of Arceus..."

"What?" Lindsey said, popping out of the bushes when I mentioned the Kingdom of Arceus, "How does this relate to us being lost?"

"Hah! So you do admit that we're lost!" I cried triumphant. Lindsey just snapped in shame of admitting that we're lost. "What I mean is to find the Kingdom of Arceus, one must get deliberately lost in Mount Cornet, usually, and then they will find the Kingdom of Arceus. Well, that's how me, Ash and Dawn found our way there." I thought about how we got there the first time.

Lindsey went up to me and asked, "How exactly did you three get there?"

I explained. "Me, Ash, and Dawn were walking through Mount Cornet, though I don't know why, and we were lost. We then exited out of the caves, thinking that we were going out to one of the routes in Sinnoh, but we found ourselves in a field of tall grass, with not a lot of Pokemon living there. In the distance was a castle, and as we got closer, we saw more towers and walls. And we came upon a big, grand river. The Great Creation River. We didn't know the name then. All three of us got to the gate, and there was a guard standing by it. We looked onto the closed gates, and the guard came up to us, asking us what business we had there. I was acting like a complete jerk, and they will agree with me, so I kind of sassed the guard. I told him that we were lost and we didn't know where the hell we were."

"Language, Hannah." Lindsey cut in.

"As I was saying before you interrupted me, I told the guard that we had no idea where we were. Ash gave me a retort, and for the life of me I can never remember what he said to set me off, but it made me angry. We got into a fight that caused the guard to call in reinforcements and subdue me and Ash. Dawn was the calm outsider. They surrounded us and separated me and Ash by at least two guards between us. Dawn followed, and the guards escorted us to the main castle, the Hall of Origin. They had us go into the main atrium, and they left us there, while also summoning the Lady of the Hall. Mine and Ash's argument got louder, and then we were told off by the Lady of the Hall, Lady Tabolt. Me and Ash were at each other's throats by then, and were about to lose control over our anger. Then Dawn got between us and used Shadow Force on us, sending us into opposing walls. That gave Lady Tabolt the clue to our identities. She called me Lady Timer, Ash Lord Spacer, and Dawn Lady Distorter. Dawn effectively ended mine and Ash's argument, but calling me Lady Timer set me off. I nicely told her that my last name wasn't Timer, it was White. Lady Tabolt insisted that I was a Timer. I said, 'Lady, I don't know who you're talking about, but my name isn't Timer. I'm a White, descendant of Richard White, the first Hero of Truth.' She kept on insisting that I was Lady Timer. She kept on calling me Timer, and my voice started increasing in volume that we weren't Timer, Spacer and Distorter, but were White, Ketchum, and Berliz. She kept on insisting that we were Timer, Spacer and Distorter, so I yelled, 'Lady, if you keep calling us Timer, Spacer, or Distorter, I am going to lose it and show you that I'm the Hero of Fire!!!' Very angrily. That stopped her, and asked me, 'You're the Hero of Fire?' I nodded, and she said, 'Quick! Show me your right arms!' Me, Ash, and Dawn looked at each other and just shrugged. We presented our right arms, and she took mine first. I remember her words. 'The Legendary Marks of Fire and Time! And the Mark of Reshiram!!' To me. 'The Legendary Marks of Lightning and Space, and Ice and Distortion!' To Ash and Dawn. 'Today is a joyous day! The Son and Daughters of Space, Time, and Distortion have returned!! And they are the Heroes of Fire, Ice and Lightning!!' And that set off a long chain of events." I explained, waving my hands nonchalantly, glancing to Lindsey, who was listening intently. I continued on, "We didn't know what was going on, so I bravely asked what was going on. Lady Tabolt said that there was a parade to organize, things to do to announce the return of the Children of the Gods. Us being still confused, I asked, 'Where the hell are we?' Lady Tabolt was surprised, we didn't know where we were. 'Don't you know what this place is?' She asked us. We shook our heads. She continued, 'Why, this is the Kingdom of Arceus!' We were shocked."
