Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Sasha
"I'm not sure, I'd have to keep researching it. I have so many questions, and the Pokemon who has my answers is dead because of me. Tolin, I dont...I dont get it. He knew all this but didnt say a word, Teach was not some monster when I met him. That he would go through all that, not to realize that my being blind would stop Suecra from awakening? And yet these files are dated long before my initial accident when I could see still. If he knew that enough to make it so I could read them, then he would have known Suecra would never awaken."
It was as though the Mewtwo was already following a set path, and while the ending was already confirmed, he continued to walk the path regardless? Why? When he knew it would result in his death? At Alfred's hands no less.

 Tolin" Forgive me Alfred, I find myself musing of things we do not yet know." Though, it was likely. Disturbingly so; if Arceus was holding the balance, then the result of tipping it would likely be the awakening and counter-awakening of both Creaus and Suecra. As opposites, the two would create a battlefield large enough to engulf the planet. " If he knew of these things in advance, then, you must make a choice Alfred. Will you have faith in his messages? Was he merely a bit player in a greater scheme? Or are they the ravings of a demented madman? Certainly, if he were altruistic, this could have been the only path. The only narrow thread that would carry us beyond an otherwise inevitable destruction." He shrugged nonchalantly. It wasn't his decision to make. He knew little of Teacher. " Regardless, I believe we should heed at least the simplest of what he wrote. Should Creaus exist, she's a very possible threat. Should she not, then... something is no doubt there regardless." Screwed if they did, screwed if they didn't.

Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Sasha
"So, the question becomes do I want to trust the God whose entire existence has been a lie or my mentor who had lied to me as well and may or may not have been just a pawn?"
He couldnt make a decision like that lightly nor without consulting the guilds.
Whether he wanted to or not, he would he have to call a meeting and reveal this information.
Another burden to couple with Diablo's passing and Darkrai's reappearance in their world.
The guilds would never obtain peace if he couldnt figure out something and soon.
"I'm not sure...something seems...off..." How could he explain that Arceus...in his mind, was the one pulling the strings.
Perhaps the 'God' was merely doing what he saw fit to keep the balance but his way of going about it protected the balance but not the Pokemon living in this world.
Regardless, they would have to find Creaus.
If it was within a vessel such as himself, was it the same requirements? He doubted it very much.
The Pokemon would need to be mentally powerfully enough to contain a God, which arose the question of how he could?
Surely a Legendary would be more suitable for-
He dropped the file he was holding.
No.

Tolin " Not all a lie, Alfred. His power is very real and his goals and intents are inarguable. The difficulty comes in the lines of fate and the intelligent reactions of the guilds. In the end, we may only act with the understanding that neither group is without folly. Arceus, no doubt, has made his mistakes. Perhaps they were in his inability to trust and comprehend. Teacher likely made mistakes as well. Both, no doubt, had goals." He sighed audibly. This was getting complex. " The stupid man trusts the first person who talks to him. The smart man trusts the one on his side. The wise man understands that neither of them want what is best for him, but that in aiding themselves they can supply him with crucial information." It was something old he had heard when he was still a small, small child. It was meant to incite a measure of fear and paranoia in him, but over time he came to view it as a blessing. In a way, everyone was on his side; it was just a matter of knowing what to believe and when to use or be used. As he did now with Alfred, as he did in the past with Solaris, Sasha, Pluto and countless others. Of course, that was irrelevant to how he felt. Alfred he counted among his friends. Pluto he considered intelligent. Sasha and Solaris were rash, but good-willed. Using and being used was simply a normal part of life, whether it was on friendly terms or not. Tolin was pulled back from his thoughts as the file fell to the floor. " Alfred?" His voice was filled with a passive concern at the look of shock on the Kirlia's face.

Solaris---Alfred---Orion---Sasha
"Well, she would have hated you. In life she could have any man she wanted thanks to her charms, all except the one she actually loved. His heart belonged to another."
He'd thought nothing of the Raichu's comment when they were in hell regarding Karin ,or 'Lust' as she was known there, but slowly the words came back to him.
He recalled walking down the hall with Legacy after an arguement with the Mewtwo. Sometime before Teach had 'supposedly' turned on them all.
"He infuriates me! I'm sick of hiding in the Moon Guild! Why wont he let me help him here?!"
The Mew had sighed, hovering in the air above the Gardevoir's head.
"He's only trying to protect you, Alfy! After all, you are his only-" Pause. "-student."
The split hesitation had not struck Alfred as odd then, but thinking back on it now...
'After all, you are his only-'
You can contain the power of a 'God', knew Transform from birth and oddly enough the only Pokemon that knew had the same move as well.
"Well, she would have hated you."
Hated him, the evidence that the Pokemon she loved had loved another.
"In life she could have any man she wanted thanks to her charms, all except the one she actually loved. His heart belonged to another."
The name in the general, he'd skimmed it thinking it was his last name 'Sinclair'.
When it was his mother's first.
'Lunaire'
'After all, you are his only-'
"Son."
"Well, she would have hated you."
"M-m-my...father..."

Tolin " Alfred? Alfred, are you alright?" He hadn't moved for a few moments since dropping the folder. The Scyther walked in front of him and knelt over, waving his blunt scythe in front of his face to try and snap him out of it.

Alfred
The Psychic was saved from replying by a flash of light that suddenly enveloped him.
Moments later he was once more in Gardevoir form, though apparently not caring either way at the moment.
"...if Creaus is inside a vessel...like Suecra is to me...it would be a legendary or one with legendary blood."
Like him.
The thought burned in his head, but he refused to say it. Refused to acknowledge it.
"We...we can start searching from there..."

Tolin Tolin decided to accept the revelation with little question. Whatever had brought Alfred to the conclusion was obviously something deeply private. Something that no one else should infringe upon. " Alright. We should start with Mia, Stella and Flash if we can get in contact with him. That should allow us to speak with the majority of the legends we know there are multiple of." Aside from them, what did that leave? A lot. Too many and little knowledge of many.

Alfred
"I'll make a list, have Sasha go investigate." She could sense things he could not, and if another 'God' was near she'd be the first to notice.
The Gardevoir was clearly not into the conversation anymore. His mind was already reeling from the before mentioned revelations and now this...
He raised a hand to his mouth, suddenly grateful he had no eyes because a knot had formed in his chest and he feared every thought would gush out like blood from a wound.
Eyes were the windows to the soul, it was said. Was his dark now? Or had it always been.
His stomach lurched, head pounding 'lielielielielielie' and he had enough sense to spin around before losing the contents of his stomach on the other side of the table.

Tolin " Ah, geeze." Tolin stayed nearby, his scythe at the ready should Alfred need a support. He was... very clearly shook up. Well, work this important came first whenever it could. He would see what he could do about comfort after he managed to get the list.

Alfred
Support wasnt necessary, Alfred was quite capable of keeping himself propped up with the table once the initial nausea had passed.
"s**t." Was the Gardevoir's only audible word, though he had muttered quite a few others albeit a bit more 'tasteless'.
Luckily, Gardevoir didnt eat all that much considering their slight figure.
Alfred sat up keeping one hand firmly clamped over his mouth while the other waved to lift a pen with Psychic and the words promptly wrote themselves as his mind directed.
There was the ones they knew [Mia, Stella, Flash...] and a few others the Gardevoir had probably found out about earlier.
"Should...start immediately...contact the guilds...it's time for another meeting."

Team Cupric listened to the conversation with interest. They weren't exactly ones to talk, Oliver being the only one that really knew anything about the topic. They were relieved when Alfred finally transformed back, and rather concerned when he had to use the pen to communicate.
"We'll do it. Give us the message, and the guilds will have it before dusk. Is that alright with you, Imiti? I mean, you'll be the one teleporting us."
"Sure, if it's needed."
"Alright, it's settled then. ...Right?" Celsus addressed the more important Pokemon present.Team Cupric watched Solaris get owned by a deck of cards. [Edit: Screw me. XD]

Tolin Tolin nodded. " Of course. I'll give the list to Sasha and request that messengers be sent out on your behalf. Would you prefer the intent is left cryptic?" It would be understandable if Alfred merely wished to call an unexplained meeting. Sending a card with "hey, there's a dark god out to kill you" might not go over so well. Well, the "there's ANOTHER god out to kill you".

Alfred
Alfred nodded, consenting to let the Scyther deliver the list.
"Yes. Do you honestly believe they would believe me? With what evidence? HIS journals? Unlikely. I will need to find a way to explain to them the situation. We'll need proof. That is what I have to do."
The guilds would not believe the word of the Mewtwo that had nearly killed them regardless of reasons.
He would attempt to hint at the idea of another 'God' and hope they took it well. If so, he'd begin planning to find 'her'.

Tolin " I'd be surprised if they did. Many of the guild masters and staff are shrewd, but few would trust teacher. For now, let us hope that a proof beyond his journals exists." Tolin carefully ( carefully) creased the sheet with one of his scythes. Launching an investigation of the legendaries was something best done with discretion. " Then, I'll be off." He began to turn and paused midstep. " Before I go... Alfred, will you be alright?" Tolin didn't know what it was that had shaken him so, but the Gardevoir most definitely was worse for wear thanks to the situation. He would be happy to return after speaking with Sasha should Alfred need the company.
