Arceus’ Pirate Journey

Chapter 1: LUNARIANS AND THE NEWBORN ARCEUS



The room with a slightly sci-fi style was full of various instruments with incomprehensible uses. In the center of the room, an egg with a strange pattern was fixed on a metal platform.

From the outside, there was nothing special about the egg except for its size and patterns.

But inside, a strange creature opened his eyes.

"How long has it been…I've finally accumulated enough energy to hatch…"

The curled up body of the special creature stretched out and observed the whole world outside the eggshell.

The underside of the creature's torso, mane, tail, and face were outlined by vertical gray stripes. Its four pointed feet were tipped with gold hooves. Its mane juts away from its head, and its face was gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and green circular patterns around the eyes.

In another world, the creature's name was Arceus, a Mythical Pokémon that created the world.

But this Arceus is not the original Arceus. For that, we have to start from the beginning.

In an ordinary rental room next to a university, a person who is about to graduate was playing "Pokémon Legend: Arceus".

At this moment, his doorbell rang. He was slightly curious who would knock on the door at this time, but when he got up to check, a model of a small truck suddenly appeared at his feet, causing him to fall to the ground and the Switch in his hand flew out.

When he woke up again, all he could feel was chaos.

He could feel that his body had changed, but he couldn't move while a special consciousness entered his mind.

That was the newborn Arceus.

Then, he felt drowsiness and he fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, he already had the ability to sense the changes in the outside world. To be precise, he could also feel the changes in the outside world before, but the outside world was full of chaos at that time.

During this time, he received the knowledge that belongs to this body, and also accepted what happened to him. Anyways, what can he do if he doesn't accept it, it's not as if he could do anything about it.

At this time, he was not Arceus, but an Arceus' egg. Eighteen plates were surrounding the eggshell, protecting the lifeform in the egg.

Afterwards, he seemed to be pulled by an unknown force as he passed through a solid barrier and came to a whole new world.

And in the process, some of the plates scattered in order to protect the eggshell when it collided with the mysterious force, while the egg fell to the land below with the remaining Plates.

To obtain a body that can move freely, the best way is to find those plates. With the power of plates, he can quickly get rid of the shackles on the egg.

But an egg cannot look for the plates by itself.

Before he fell here, there were only three plates left by his side, and he did not know where those plates had gone. Only within a certain distance could he sense and control these plates.

At this time, some strange looking natives surrounded him. They had black wings and flames burning on their back, which made him realize that this world was not ordinary, but at this time he did not know that these people were from the Lunarian race.

He has read a lot of manga before, but when he read the Totto Land arc of One Piece manga, he didn't continue reading for various reasons. To be precise, he only read it occasionally during the Dressrosa arc.

He has no impression at all of the mysterious race that appeared in the later stages.

These natives seem to worship him as a sacred relic since an egg that fell from the sky cannot be an ordinary thing by any stretch of imagination.

Their behavior gave him some ideas. Although he couldn't move, he could find a way to order these natives to look for the plates.

They can fly with wings, so they should be able to cover a large area.

But he can only sense the changes in the outside world and has no way to communicate with the outside world.

He is different from Arceus who created the world.

He is still a larva, and his strength mainly depends on the plates. During the process of crossing over, the connection between the plates and him loosened. The big collision when it fell to the ground caused most of the Plates to fly who knows where.

So currently he can't communicate with others.

However, there are always more solutions than difficulties. Among the remaining three plates, there was Flame Plate with the fire attribute, and during the sacrificial ceremony, he saw that the natives could use the power of flames.

So one time when they were performing the sacrificial ceremony, he used the power of Flame Plate to bestow some natives the power to use more powerful flames.

He was thinking that since these natives can come here quickly, they must have seen the process of his fall.

Moreover the impact of the fall was extremely powerful. So, either these people are strong enough to withstand such an impact, or they are extremely fast. Either way, they are an excellent tool to look for the Plates.

If he reveals to them that Plates can grant them power, they will take the initiative to look for similar Plates. Either they directly find the magical plate of Psychic-Type, or a few more other Plates, then he would be able to communicate with these natives after his strength is restored.

As for the language issue, he could tell that it was Japanese. After watching anime for many years, he has learned Japanese by himself through watching a large number of TV series, so he has no problem understanding it.

When the time comes, give them some rewards and ask them to find more Plates. After hatching, he will be able to do more things. He doesn't know how long it will take to hatch, but his body's instinct tells him that Plates will speed up the process.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. The first half was the same as what he thought. After these natives got the power, they became more respectful to him, and even their sacrificial ceremonies became a lot more grand. And it was also during the sacrificial ceremony he learned that this race is called Lunarian.

However a problem occured. He heard the tribal chief and prophet discussing the issue of the Plates during the sacrificial ceremonies and that they also sent people to look for them, but they never found any.

Because of the fusion with Arceus' body, he has no lack of time, so he has a plan 2. As long as there is enough time, the power of the remaining three Plates is enough for him to hatch. When he is born as the sacred relic, he can help these people find the traces of the plates.

So he began to slumber, and he would wake up every once in a while to check the changes in the outside world.

However, as time passed, unexpected elements appeared in the plan.

A war seems to have begun, and outsiders were attacking this place. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have any special feelings for these Lunarians, but due to physical reasons, he regards these Lunarians who worship him day and night as his own people.

He also has certain inferences about his own situation. Similar to Overlord's Momonga, who transmigrated into an undead, and was affected by his body where his way of thinking gradually approached that of an undead.

And his way of thinking was also influenced by the Creator God Arceus, but Arceus is not an undead. This influence is different from Bone King's. It is more similar to the combination of divinity and humanity in his body, and the subject of the behavior is still himself.

And this kind of behavior of hurting his people has violated his bottom line, but as an egg, he can't do anything. He can only stimulate the power of Flame Plate and give the Flame Plate to the tribe chief temporarily.

And this method consumed a lot of his physical strength, so he entered a new round of slumber.

But before that, he heard the tribe chief's last order to let the rest of the clan escape this place with him, which was regarded as a sacred relic.

Every time he wakes up, the Lunarians around him will have a new face, and the number of people is getting smaller and smaller.

From hundreds of people to ten people, then two two families, until there were only two people left. The boy is called Alber and the girl is called Shayna.

When he woke up again, there were already countless strangers and all kinds of strange instruments outside, but Alber and Shayna were gone.

At first, he thought that those two people, like the previous Lunarians, died under the pursuit of those enemies, but later he found out that he was wrong.

He saw those two people later on, but they were in the same state as him, and they were both being subjected to some strange experiments.

Because the people above also wanted to find out what the Lunarian egg was. During this time, they tried to hatch it and tried to destroy it, but it didn't work. The surface of the eggshell is incomprehensibly hard.

They put the egg, the Plate obtained from killing the tribal chief many years ago, the Plate they got together with the egg, and Alber and others in the same research institute.

Since the Lunarians lost a Plate on the way when escaping, there were only two Plates left.

Although the things those people did to him couldn't destroy his eggshell, the strange machines still made him feel uncomfortable. Maybe because his body was still like this, or because of the two kids, whether it was the influence of himself or Arceus, anger began to accumulate.

Then, one day, the energy he accumulated finally reached hatching level. The two plates were next to him, and the distance was within his perception range. So, with the power of the two plates and the energy accumulated during this time, it was enough for him to bring the two kids out of here.

But the first thing to do is to find the boy. They are normally placed in different places, and currently he and Shayna were together, but he doesn't know where Alber is.

However, just as he was about to act, he sensed an explosion occur in the outside world, and then the closed metal door opened, and the one who walked in were not those researchers, but Alber.
