Shrykos and Balerion have finally returned to Planetos. They have both successfully recruited powerful draconic beings in their respective journey. Though it was Shrykos companion, Arceus that got Balerion worried. Arceus was another Dragon God, from a different realm. Balerion pulled Shrykos aside to to ask what happened in her journey.
Balerion: Sister, this is not what we agreed upon! What made you think bringing another Dragon God in our world?
Shrykos: Before you get all riled up Balerion, I have tried my best to look for other powerful dragons in the world I visited, but unfortunately all of them are prevented from going to another realm due to their own responsibilities as guardians of that world. At the same time, my powers are limited when it comes to travelling between worlds. I'd rather return with something than nothing.
Balerion: Our brothers and sisters will make fit with your decision
While the siblings were arguing, the invited guests started to introduced themselves and inquired about each other's world.
Arceus: Greetings fellow dragons, I am Arceus, the Dragon God of Creation. I belong to a world where humans and magical creatures called Pokemon exist side by side. Both species have learned to co-exist, but there are still humans whose greed are endless and use Pokemon for their own selfishness.
Sindragosa: It is also a pleasure to meet a fellow dragon, one who is of divine stature. I am Sindragosa and beside me is my mate Malygos. We were once proud members of the Blue Dragonflight, which are the guardians of magic in our world. Back from where we come from is a world of magic, where every sentient species are able to wield it. Unfortunately this gift was also a bane as each species are in constant war vying for supremacy.
Malygos: Pleasure meeting you divine one. My mate is correct! Our world called Azeroth has been in constant turmoil since the very beginning. From the elements creating chaos. The undead returning in the world sowing further death and destruction. Don't even begin to the misuse of magic from the foolishness of mortals.
Arceus: It seems every blessing comes with a curse. Humans from my world use the abilities of Pokemon to dominate the entire world thinking themselves as Gods to be worshipped. Even my own guardians are not spared from their wickedness.
Malygos: It is that endless hunger for power which has unfortunately doomed me and my mate to our current state. Yet, it was not through the fault of misguided mortals alone but my own brethren as well! a dragon named Neltharion, former Aspect of Earth and leader of the Black Dragonlight, betrayed our kind and almost decimated us. My mate unfortunately perished before me and was forced to become an undead through dark powers. I lost my sanity for a 10 thousand years not being able to comprehend and accept the tragedy of my own flight and losing my lover. Fate has not been kind to us, yet with perseverance from the members of my flight and a few noble mortals, my senses finally returned, but it was through my own misguided death. My ending was not all ba as by all miracles, my lovely Sindragosa was released from eternal torment, and we met once again. Reunited we decided to leave our flight's future to those remaining in the Blue Dragonflight.
Arceus: That is quite a tragedy Malygos. I as well was betrayed and saved by mortals in my world. it seems their complicated nature makes them interesting. I mean, every now and then even my guardians fight amongst themselves for supremacy. I remember the catastrophic battle between my children Kyogre, Guardian of Oceans and Seas and Groudon, Guardian of the Earth and Volcanoes. The planet almost got destroyed if it was not for the intervention of Rayquaza, Guardian of the Skies and Stars.
Sindragosa: Well if its about world ending events, our world almost got destroyed 3 times. Our planet called Azeroth is cotinuously struggling for its own survival both within and outside.
The three dragons continued to share the experiences they had. Balerion and Shrykos interrupted them as they anounce the meeting with their siblings is about to start. Balerion advised Arceus to have a lot of patience as his presence is also disturbing and has already been felt by all the gods in their world. Shrykos added that she and her siblings are prideful beings, so she requested for their patience.

The congregation of powerful beings was enough to be felt by the other Gods of Planetos with the likes of Great Other, Rhollor, Mother Rhoyne etc..., but it was the presence of an outsider Dragon God that really got them curiuous as his presence alone was more powerful than all of them combined. The Dragon Gods of Valyria were not happy. They were supposed to be the mightiest existence in this world, but now, one Dragon God from another world alone was exerting an aura, even they would bow to. Shrykos feeling the tense amongst her siblings and guests interjected, and finally began introductions.
Shrykos: Everyone these are the champions me and Balerion have invited from our travells. I will introduce my own first. Arceus, Dragon God of creation from the world of Pokemon. He has heard my tales and agreed to join our effort in creating a kingdom for dragon kind. He is a powerful being that reigns supreme in his world, and is even the father of magical creatures that almost dominate the world he comes from.
Arceus: Greetings fellow Dragon Gods. I have sensed the arrival of Shrykos in my world. After hearing the sorrowful tale of dragons dying in your world, I could not help but agree and decided to aid you all in this quest...
Arceus was about to continue when Syrax interrupted him. Syrax was furiuous with presence of an all powerful god that rivaled him and all the other gods combined.
Syrax: Forgive the interruption, I am Syrax, God of Chaos, you are not supposed to be here outsider. Were you not told by Shrykos that we were only seek out dragons with no divinity?
Arceus: Well if being here means the survival of the dragon species then I would be more than happy to intervene Syrax. And no your sister has not informed me regarding that particular information, and she has no need to. I have the ability to read minds and intent. Furthermore, if your sister was to continue her journey then it would have required her to be dormant for centuries before she could visit another world The ability to travel between worlds takes a lot of power and not even a Dragon Goddess as herself has the infinity energy to do that.
Arrax: I would like to welcome you with open arms Arceus, but my brother Syrax has a point. In courtesy of introductions, I am Arrax, the eldest amongst my siblings, I am also the God of Law and Order. Regretfully though, our sister has disobeyed what we all agreed. The reason behind that accord was the presence of another Dragon God, one whose powers subverts all of us combined, will have an impact on the physical reality of our world, which you will need to visit. Thus, making your journey here has been for nothing.
Things were not going the way Shrykos intended. She knew the complexity of Arceus presence by distorting reality in their world, but most importantly hitting the ego her siblings most especially Arrax. Arceus was upset and disappointed by the senseless immaturity of these lesser gods. Their world was in danger of losing Magic. Entire species were slowly losing their numbers out or becoming extinct. Their only valid argument was the distortion of reality. So he decided to surprise them with his abilities.
Arceus: Your world is about to be destroyed and waste the efforts of Shrykos. How prideful of you!!! Let me show you the difference between a million year old dragon compared to you mongrels whom I suspect are no more than 10 thousand years. I will visit the physical plane of Planetos this very moment
Arceus disappeared from the crowd which shocked them. The Dragon God appeared in the ruins of Valyria. The wheel like gold in the center of its body separated and transformed into 18 indvidual flat crystal plates(Z-Plates) that glowed. Each Z-plate flew to the different corners, encasing all of the smoking sea in a golden glow. The golden glow slowly disappeared and surprised all the Gods of Planetos. The land of Valyria lush in green vegetation, crystal blue waters, and the sky shining. Calmness even returned to the once chaotic fourteen flames or volcanoes.
(Author's note: Each plate has this individual ability of power, look up in to https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Arceus_(Pok%C3%A9mon), can't explain them here but he/she is like OP abover being OP, the only time weakness appears when he/she loses one of the plates as mentioned in the movie where several of the plates were loaned to a human, but betrayed him/her)
Weirdly enough transparent like beings surrounded Arceus. These were the souls of the sacrificed slaves that cursed the Valyrians and caused a magical malfunction leading to the Doom. Arceus empathized with the poor souls and opened a gateway where they could enter the realm of death in this world and finally lay to rest.
All 14 Dragon Gods could not help but feel gratitude and fear at the same time. They felt joy that their beloved land was restored after failing for 6 thousand years. Yet they also felt dread, for the after effects of a god, physically manifesting itself in the mortal realm. All of the them were confused by the events that just happened. It was a miracle that even their combined powers could achieve
Arceus returned to the congregation proud, but mostly erupting in anger. The Dragon God could not believe what he discovered. The very beings seeking aid, were letting their worshippers practice sacrificing the living. This was an alien form of activity as Arceus has not seen this back in the Pokemon world. The anger that built up finally exploded and all the Gods of Planetos could could only cower in fear.
Arceus: How dare all of you! Those poor souls were indeed humans but even they have the right to exist till the end of their days! How could you allow this to happen for a millenia.
Tyraxes: Divine one, I am Tessarion, Goddess of Reason and Wisdom. It is indeed a hypocrisy for me and my siblingsto ask for your help in shame. Yes, for a thousand of years we did not mind nor cared enough the evil practices of the Vlayrians. We only wished for their continued patronage, and for our lack of direct interference by law amongst the gods, the Doom of Valyria was the consequence of our abstinence. Blood Magic was not something we saw immoral, as it was used by all magicals in our world, though in this case the Valyrians abused it. Dishearteningly our children the dragons became mounted servants for a thousand years. Yet, for all of that, we are trying to remedy our mistakes by sending out Shrykos and Balerion on a journey to look for help
Arceus: I have heard your words divine one, I have yet to hear from the ruler amongst you Dragons Gods. What have you to say Arrax, God of Law and Order? What excuse or reason could you spout and convince me to stay? You have seen my powers and I have proven you and every other god in this world of my powers to appear in the physical realm without harming it?
Arrax: I can say nothing but to humbly ask for your help Arceus. No word from mine is reasonable or acceptable. But for a future of our world and my children, the dragons, I beg of you to stay and aid us! I am more than willing to give up my divinity if that would convince you.
All 14 Dragons Gods could only stay silence. There were no words for the shame that they tried to hide for a thousand years. Blood Magic through the sacrifice of the living was one of the few ways that they offer their blessing to their chosen, and yet this was also the consequence of an exchange and they knew it. Seeing all those freed souls brought a relief in their heavy hearts.
Malygos then asked Shrykos how magic is practiced in their world as it seems very primitive. The former Aspect of Magic, was proficient and knowledgeable about all of forms of Magic. He knew that the Trolls of Zandalari practiced blood magic, but after a thousand years became a lost art. He further asked the other Dragon Gods what happened to the magic of this world as it felt none-existent.
Shrykos: That is one of our gravest concerns Malygos. Magic is dying out . The reason behind it is the extinction of not just dragons but also every magical creature as well.
Aegarax: Welcome former Aspect of Magic, I am Aegarax, God of Creation of all Creatures. The magical creatures in Planetos are now rare. Hiding from the human kingdoms and their armies. They are afraid of being hunted for their flesh and blood. In our world Magic developed when humans consume magical creatures. For this they have been hunted to the brink of extinction. In the case of dragons were used as weapons of mass destruction for their mighty flames. Thus, me and siblings have decided to create a kingdom exclusivley for dragons, for they are magic made flesh.
Sindragosa: Would you not welcome other magical creatures as well divine one. I would not consider dragons the only species with innate magic? You would consider a diversity of magical beings to truly bring magic back into your world.
Malygos: My mate has a point divine one. All magical creatures should live in safety, not fearing for their lives. I would greatly aid the dragons in your world but if there are other magical creatures we should welcome them in this planned sanctuary. It should be a kingdom for all magical creatures sentient or not.
Meleys: I Meleys, the Goddess of Fertility, agree with former Aspect of Magic brother. All Magical creatures also have a challenge to bringing new life due to their longevity. A safe and secure nursing grounds will ensure the growth of young into adulthood.
Malygos: Well then, if its a sanctuary that could protect all magical creatures, then I will be more than happy to use the best of my Illusion Magic and Wards. But, I am also intrigued what are your thoughts on the humans that have magical abilities?
Tyraxes: That is also another concern my fellow dragon. There were human kingdoms with magical bloodlines. Water Mages of Rhoyne. Sorcerers of Valyria. Warlocks of Qarth. Wargs, Skinchangers and Greenseers of the First men. Shodwbinders of Ashai, and so many more. Unfortunately, due to their warring nature and greed, humans with magical abilities rarely exist and would rise due to being blessed by a god. I am considering them included in this magical kingdom?
Malygos: That can be taken into consideration divine one, once we have all the magical creatures secured. They are our highest priority. Furthermore, I would highly reconstruct the magic of your world. I may not be able to use magic now, but being a proficient user for a thousand years I have felt your world's magic is distorted which is affecting the mortal realm. May I know the reason for this?
Aegarax: Its a tale that begun during the Dawn Era when life was still new in Planetos. Its a full circle story of tragedy about humans blessed with divinity and sentient magical beings protecting their home. This tale is better from the mouths of the of the other gods
Thus Arceus, Malygos and Sindragosa meet the other gods of Planetos. They further listen to the tragic and heroic tales which lead to the slow demise of the world's magic.
