[Cyrus, when translated, means sun. No wonder why his commanders are named after planets.]
On an island desolate from the rest, the largest island among all, there stood two people. One was the champion, the other was Cyrus who was staring at the world he is in with a broody expression. He contemplated the floating islands around him and wondered if this was the world he ever dreamed of.
"This place... It's quiet. It's calm, except for the deities fighting somewhere in the west. I feel relaxed. I see no spirit lurking nearby. This is the world I've always wanted. I am pleased to be in it." Cyrus closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He inhaled, exhaled, as he opened his pupils, gazing at the vast void of nothingness of the distortion world.
"If you hate the world so much, you should just go somewhere far away and leave the rest of us alone!" Cynthia confronted him, disturbing his peace with his mind.
"The human spirit is vague and incomplete. I will purge it from this world to create a complete and perfect reality. That is my mission... and I will not allow anyone to interfere. But now? This world? It enlightens me. It gives me peace, tranquility. I want to stay here forevermore for this is where I truly belong.
But then again, you've interfered with me many times already. Now, I wish to fight you. You may be the champion but I have the courage to challenge you. So bring it on! Houndoom, fight for me!" Cyrus waged a battle against Cynthia.
"I'll gladly accept your offer. Spiritomb! Come out!"
...
"Let this battle begin once in for all! Houndoom, Fire Blast!"
"Spiritomb, protect!"
The attack was unable to do any effect because of Spiritomb's fire blast.
"Now, Sucker Punch, let's go!"
"I've trained my Pokemon!"
"The battle has barely begun, Cyrus! Spiritomb, Sucker Punch again!"
"This isn't over. Houndoom, Sludge Bomb!"
From the soil rose a violet acid bubble as large as a car wheel. It went to Spiritomb and for once, Cyrus was able to deal damage to the champion's Pokemon. He proceeded with Thunder Fang, in which Houndoom bit Spiritomb with its electrified teeth. Despite this, Spiritomb was not paralyzed and the champion's Pokemon stood strong.
Cynthia planned to end the battle from there on out. "Spiritomb, use hypnosis!"
"Now!" said the champion. "Use Dream Eater!" Spiritomb chanted another sleepy song but this time to haunt the dreams of its foes. And just like that, Houndoom was tormented, making it faint once in for all.
"Return to your Pokeball, Houndoom... Huh, that battle was fast after all. No wonder why you reigned champion."
"You do not belong here, Cyrus. Return with me right now and go someplace else, one far from us that could bring joy to yours. There, your dreams will become a reality." Cynthia persuaded us.
"I believe, I am quite satisfied with this world."
"This is not yours. This belongs to Giratina."
"And I'll share with it. You cannot persuade me, Cynthia! My dream is a reality and this is what I've ever wanted!"
Meanwhile, above the ground in which Mars and Jupiter were staring at the portal, something came up in their headphones. "Mars, Jupiter."
"Master Cyrus!" the two were relieved to hear the voice of their master. "Where are you, Master Cyrus? The portal is getting smaller, you have to come here immediately. The Pokemon International Police is here." said the two.
"Do not go look for me."
"M-Master Cyrus?! Are you abandoning us?" Mars was shocked to hear those words.
"This world, the world I've fallen to. I was sent here as a punishment by the shadow Pokemon. It is only here where I feel tranquil. I wish to stay here, Team Galactic will be yours to follow from here on out." and there, Cyrus cut the communication between Jupiter and Mars.
They felt angry for Cyrus as he promised Team Galactic would be included. But a part of them was sad as they muttered, "We understand, Master Cyrus." What is Team Galactic now without a leader? Are they to disband or will the forge a greater problem in the future?
"Cyrus, listen to me! Go someplace else, not this one."
"I believe I won't. I am satisfied. I will stay and so I hereby proclaim our farewell to each other. Good riddance, cousin." from the edge of the island, Cyrus made a leap. Worried, Cynthia quickly looked down to look for him and to her surprise, Cyrus ascended back up, riding on his Honchkrow. He gave Cynthia a smirk and there, he went to the deeper reaches of the distortion world when suddenly, out of nowhere, another portal opened from behind him.
The portal was of a wormhole that lulled Cyrus. He slowly went closer to it as Cynthia shouted, "Don't! You are uncertain of where that will lead you!"
"Perhaps to a world more satisfying than this," he said, as he intentionally led Honchkrow to the white portal. The portal was then shut as Cynthia knelt to the ground, shocked by Cyrus's sudden disappearance.
For now, Cyrus is gone as he flew to a random portal that appeared out of nowhere in which he believes, would lead him to a better world. For now, he is to be hidden from anyone's sight, in our universe to say the least. One thing's for sure, I won't be seeing him for a long time but who knows? Maybe my parallel self is to see him once he pops out of that portal.
