Deus Ex Machina

"Hello ash. It is me professor oak"

I swear to god, if he has one more task for me, I will flip. I have already been here for a month and I still have only 2 pokemon and 2 gym badges left. I had already delivered the letter to the chairman before poofing out of existence.

"Don't worry, I don't have another task for you. Professor birch was feeling indebted to you for doing such a great thing for him and their was an extremely successful mining operation from which professor birch obtained an extra claw fossil. He just asked me to give it to you"

.

.

"Sure why not. Thanks for the pokemon but out of curiosity, is birch the only pokemon researcher with shame or are you the exception?"

"Hahaha, don't worry, I have a major surprise waiting for you after you complete the hoenn league. It shall be fabulous. I have many a things you don't know about me. But that is not the end of your good fortune. The champion himself has seen your fight with Moore and decided to give you a pokemon. Guess what it is?"

"Torchic with blaze kick."

"You will never gu.... how did you know? That was supposed to be a surprise?!!,"

"I have many a things you don't know about me."

"Never mind, he bred two extremely strong pokemon hoping for a water type but he got torchic instead. The thing is, this torchic saw your match with Moore and practically ran towards the screen and pecked Wallace and basically begged her to send her to you"

"Ooh, determined. Just the way I like it. Where can I pick them up? My team size is about to double."

"Fotree city is where birch is currently for the next week. But sadly all good things must come to an end. Your mother is planning something huge and your book is hitting shelves tomorrow. Your battle and the league propaganda will make it sell out and you more famous."

"Oh don't worry about mom, I had to convince her to not call me back with her puppy eyes by telling her about the people who crushed on me. She is probably planning my wedding or my wedding anniversary."

"The entire family is crazy!"

"I am sorry about that, how about I make it up to you?. I have a direct line to Agatha and could easily send a message about an old man feeling lonely."

"No need." His voice was rushed and pretty scared.

"Ahh thanks for the news but I need to make garchomp's food extra spicy cause he didn't get a chance to battle unlike charizard."

"I still can't believe that you make tour own food, when I was your age, I would just eat any of the berries we came across."

"Enough reminiscing about the old days, I need to go. See ya"

I cut the call after saying that. I got up from my feet and started walking, sometimes I miss the old days where I would stay at home all daylong and get my ass handed to me by prime ape but I know one day that I will miss today and onwards. Falling into the cycle of regretful nostalgia is a very bad thing.

"Riolu ri" Riolu could easily beat any of the gym leaders singlehandedly and he was as strong as charizard when he had turned into a charmeleon. Riolu had already hit the power ceiling for Riolu-kind. The sheer amount of aura he had was pretty massive but Riolu still remembered mew and could easily crush any arrogance due to the power gap he felt.

"Sno, snover." Ava could take on a few of Winona's pokemon but I was thinking about using beldum and allowing it to evolve.

Just as I was thinking about this, I felt an area of aura vacuum.

"How are you mew. Long time since I last saw you" I said as I turned around and saw a happy and smiling mew.

"Mew"' it was boring without you.'

"And it was boring without you. Now whatcha doing?"

'I was roaming when I saw your Riolu and how you haven't evolved it yet. It is ready to evolve.'

"Really?"

"Yes, I can make him evolve'

What are you deus ex machina.? From now on I shall call this mew, deus ex machina

"Sure why not? Riolu come out"

"Ri." It looked really determined to evolve but it seemed to be a bit confused.

Before it could ponder anymore, deus ex machina placed its tiny hand on Riolu forehead and riolu was engulfed in a bright white light. Riolu slowly got bigger and bigger and into a more humanoid shape in front of deus ex machina and me.

The light finally disappeared and I could now see a majestic lucario standing there." Lucario lu"' yes I have finally evolved. Now I can speak straight to masters head.'

"I can hear your voice lucario but since tou have evolved.."

My eyes turned red and a demonic aura surrounded me and a few hands came out from the ground and started waving menacingly

"I need to make a better training schedule."

Lucario fainted on the spot and deus ex machina started laughing before it disappeared.

My aura dissipated, I out on my game face and got serious before I said

"Lucario, get up! That wasn't mew, It was deus ex machina. Since one other legendary knows about us, Then all the others must as well. We have eyes on us from now on. Your evolution went perfectly, no signs of forced or rushed evolution."

Who is deus ex machina?
