Why us? (Pokemon fanfic)

32- The balance of three

"Mega Evolution?" I questioned, looking down at my own key stone.

N nodded again. "Yes, the energy used in Mega Evolution matches yours more then any other force could. I believe that Team Rift uses Mega Evolution, right?"

I nodded. "A corrupt version of it."

"Ah yes, corrupting pure was with darkness. A tactic Shadow has used on you before, yes? The beginning event that formed your Ninetales."

I glanced at Night and nodded. "Shadow tried to control me with my negative emotions... making Night in the process."

"The Night Voice was just the beginning for Shadow. With help of Team Rift, Shadow found a way to use his dark energy to corrupt Mega Stones resulting in the corrupt Pokémon you've been forced to battle."

"Okay, this information is new to me but what has it got to do with anything?" I questioned, going to cross my arms until I remembered I have the torch.

"Are you even listening? It has everything to do with you!" N sighed irritably, turning to face me. "You possess more power in your little finger then any other being in the universe. What Team Rift needs is power and where do you think they'll turn for the quickest means to get that?"

"Me." I replied blankly. "I have already been kidnapped by them you know, so what else is new? Newsflash, it's every day of my fucking life, and I don't remember you treating me any better then those assholes did." I sneered. "You kidnapped me and forced me to collect the Lullabies needed by threatening to kill my brother before you ended up killing me. What's your point?"

N let out a growl, turning around again and continuing forward. "There must be balance among the Voices. That is the job of the Voice Of Reason, keeping balance between the Voice Of Purity and the Voice Of Darkness. When the Night Voice was made, it threw the entire thing into chaos. When she became real, there was obviously more good then there was bad, so, it became my job to be as dark as Night is light. Now that she is still technically dead, I go back to being in the middle until the balance is thrown off again. It's just how it works. I have as much choice in the matter as you do with being the Voice Of Purity."

"I still don't like you." I mumbled as we exited the tunnel into a cavern that seemed to generate its own light from the carvings in the walls. In the middle stood what appeared to be a giant set of scales that had crossed with a mobile. Each branch held a little set of scale that balanced a big one.

"These scales represent balance." N explained.

"Isn't that what scales are for?" I rolled my eyes, flicking the torch off.

N rolled his eyes. "They hold the balance in the world, they measure the good and the bad and this dear Emma," He gestured to the largest set, held in balance by two glowing orbs of light, once black and one white with a grey one set on top. "represents us as the Three Voices."

The dark orb appeared to be heavier, weighing down the one of light but the grey one had moved further along the beam that held them to help even out the light with the dark.

"This shows the current balance between the Three Voices. Shadow is gaining dark power, what from, I don't know. In result to that, the Voice Of Reason is altering to balance out the light energy with the dark, and I'm not the only one." He gestured to the smaller scales of the mobile. "Every entity, every mythical and legendary Pokémon is helping to balance out." N smiled slightly. "You see, the events in Unova were not entirely under my own control, I won't shove off the blame to another for what happened and I will accept full responsibility but I thought you deserved to know the truth behind it all."
