Iggy: You know, curiosity killed the cat.
Jerem: I'm hardly a cat.
Iggy: Yes well, you shouldn't be curious.
Jerem: Why not?
Iggy: Some secrets aren't meant to be told sometimes.
Jerem: What is that supposed to mean?
Jerem: Feraligatr, get ready to attack Iggy.
Iggy: No, don't even think about it.
Gatr: Grr..
Iggy: You know, I thought we could chat a little before, but I guess you want to take full advantage of this. Ha, perhaps I was wrong in thinking...
Iggy took a brief pause
Iggy: ... Nono, you can't.
Jerem: I can't what?
Iggy: It's a secret.
Jerem: DAMN IT IGGY! How can you expect me to just stand here, and have Feraligatr wait aimlessly while you stand there keeping secrets.
Iggy: How about this? I promise you that by the end of this chat, you will learn this little secret.
Jerem: Fine then.
Iggy: Great, now then, how 'bout a seat?
Iggy waved his hand and a chair came up to Jerem, and knocked him into the seat.
Iggy: You too Feraligatr.
Iggy did the same hand wave and a chair came up behind Feraligatr, and he fell into it.
Gatr: Why? Why are you being so polite?
Jerem: Yeah, we expected ambush.
Iggy: Why would I do that? You've shown us that you are more than capable to take down are best trained officials, why would I even bother? It'd be like sending them to their slobbery grave.
Gatr: I don't see what's wrong with that.
Iggy: Yes well, not all of us can consume hundreds of people and live normally eh?
Gatr: I wouldn't say hundreds...
Iggy: Haha, oh that's right, I shouldn't say people.
Gatr: What does that mean?
Iggy: Tell me, what do you remember of the time before you met Jerem.
Gatr: I don't see where you're goi...
Feraligatr paused as he realized something.
Gatr: ...that is irrelevant Iggy.
Jerem: What does he mean?
Gatr: Remember, when we first met, I told you about my life.
Jerem: Vaguely, you said you lived in this tiny room with all the other pokemon.
Gatr: Yeah, well, that was a little white lie.
Jerem: Huh?
Gatr: Well, it was true, for a little while, but really, I was alone.
Jerem: So... you really were alone, so umm, I'd assume all those other pokemon... you ate them?
Gatr: Yep.
Iggy: Oh good good. Now, next question, do you remember the last pokemon you ate in there?
Gatr: Yes, I could never forget Mewtwo... wait
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN!?
Iggy: Tell me, what was the first one you ate?
Gatr: An elekid.
Iggy: Now, what was the first pokemon you faced in this world?
Jerem: I can answer that, it was an electivire...
Iggy: Do you see where I'm going?
Jerem: No I don't. So what that that he ate them.
Iggy: Well, if the first pokemon he ate was an elekid, and the first pokemon he faced here was an electivire. What would that mean that he ate Mewtwo last?
Gatr: That you are the last thing I will face...
Iggy: Now, see why you should listen?
Jerem: ...
Gatr: ...
Iggy: Now that that's covered, let me move on to my next topic. Jerem, I'm gonna be frank about this, I know about 3,000 years ago.
Jerem remained speechless.
Iggy: I know about the whole Arceus, soul losing thing. I'm telling you that what you've done does not make things right.
Jerem: It sure as hell feels right.
Iggy: ........stalling..........prepare........hurry up............gun at ready......
Jerem: what was that?
Gatr: What?
Jerem: I think I heard Iggy's thoughts.
Iggy: You did no such thing. Now pay attention to what I'm saying.
Jerem: I definitely heard something, be prepared Feraligatr.
Iggy: You really should learn to trust people Jerem.
Jerem: I don't need to trust anyone.
Iggy: Anyway, as I was saying. Just because you were bullied doesn't mean you should take it out on that person's family tree. That's just sick.
Gatr: Well that's fine with me. Now Iggy, Jerem might be fine sitting here listening to you, but I'm not. Now either you get to the secret or I go chomp chomp and you face the fate of everyone around you.
Iggy: Look at it from my point of view, if I tell you, you kill me, if I don't you kill me, and no matter what, everyone else dies.
Jerem: I like those options. Say them again, they make me feel good.
Iggy: Envious of the old days I take it?
Jerem: You could say that.
Gatr: No more crap Iggy. Get to the point before I can taste you...
Iggy: If you want to be the eager beaver...
Gatr: I ate the beaver.
Iggy: That was a horrible joke.
Gatr: I'm not one for funny.
Iggy: Ok....ready....on my mark...
Iggy: Well, here it is...
Iggy pulls out an handgun from his desk.
Iggy: HERE IT IS JEREM! THE MACHINE THAT WILL END YOU!
Jerem: umm, not to ruin your moment of triumph, but we don't know what that is.
Iggy: You have got to be kidding me.
Jerem: Nope.
Iggy aimed the gun at Feraligatr.
Iggy: Well, this is called a gun. when I pull this trigger, your gatr's brains will be all over the floor, then I'll shoot you and I can live happily ever after.
Jerem: You know I can't let you do that, Iggy.
Iggy: Oh, I didn't want to mention this in case something happened but, in case you do manage to get out of here, I have every remaining TLF member, along with all ANF members waiting for you. There's some outside that door, there's some near that window, there's some under the floor, and there's some on the ceiling. They're all ready, guns with them, to shoot the next thing to cross there path.
Gatr: I don't believe you.
Iggy: alright then.
Iggy: Show yourselves.
As Iggy signaled the members, the door to the room opened and several pokemon came into the room, along with a few humans. The same also happened at the window, and banging could be hard from the ceilings and floor.
Iggy: I've seen every possible ending, none of them are good for you.
Jerem: ...
Jerem: Feraligatr... this looks like it's it.
Gatr: NO! IT CAN'T BE! WE WILL NOT FALL NOW!
Jerem:Feraligatr, look around us, we're surrounded. We can't escape. We're done.
Gatr: DAMN IT JEREM! WE HAVE TO ESCAPE! WHERE'S YOUR COCKINESS!? WHERE'S YOUR WIT?
Jerem: It's gone. In this position, I just can't do that. I'm sorry Feraligatr. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Jerem began to cry.
Jerem: Sorry... sorry.... sorry...
Gatr: Jerem... please stop...
Jerem: Sorry... sorry...
Gatr: Jerem, please, if this truly is the end, you must be strong.
Jerem: Feraligatr, I can't. I didn't think this could happen. We were doing so well... how could we just fall into Iggy's trap like this?
Gatr: That doesn't matter. What matters is that we go out with a bang.
Jerem: That was really not the right choice of word.
Gatr: Sorry. Jerem, there is only one thing left to do...
Jerem: What?
What?
ANSWER ME!
FERALIGATR!
FERALIGATR WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO!?
FERALIGATR!
Feraligatr, with every ounce of strength and courage, and as quickly as he could, rushed up from the chair, and made a mad dash towards Iggy.
Gatr: RRRAAAAAAAAWWWWWWHHHHHHRRRRRR!!
Iggy, gun ready, shot at Feraligatr, right in the heart.
BANG!
Jerem: FERALIGATR!
With this final cry from Jerem, time seemed to stop. Everything around him stopped, including the bullet penetrating Feraligatr's scales.
Gatr: Jerem...
Jerem: FERALIGATR! What's happened? Everything froze...
Gatr: Does it matter why? Now hurry up and come here before time starts up again.
Jerem scurried from the chair to Feraligatr.
Jerem embraced Feraligatr.
Jerem had more tears streaming from his eyes as feraligatr took him in
*play dramatic sad music*
Jerem: Feraligatr, I don't want to die.
Gatr: You're... urk... pushing this bullet...
Jerem: Sorry.
Jerem pulled the bullet out of Feraligatr
Gatr: Jerem, our end has come. It's been fun. I'll miss you wherever we end up going.
Feraligatr began to cry too.
Jerem: Feraligatr, is this right? What we've done? Are we allowed to cry like this, at our deaths, when we're murders like this?
Gatr: Everyone is entitled too, we just took that right away.
Jerem: What will happen when we die?
Gatr: I don't know... but I don't think it will be good.
The two remained locked in a hug for another minute.
Jerem: Feraligatr, I'm not ready to let go.
Gatr: Neither am I...
neither am I...
???: You don't have to be, not right now.
Jerem: What was that?
Gatr: I don't know.
???: Haha, don't recognize my voice.
Jerem: Who said that?
???: Why don't you look up?
Jerem and Feraligatr looked up.
They saw that the ceiling was removed. They also saw the piece of ceiling off to the side shaking.
There was a giant dragon eating the frozen TLF members like chips from a bag.
???: Delicious.
Jerem: Wh... who are you?
???: I'm... you.
Jerem: WHAT!?
Dragon Jerem: Look.
The dragon took Jerem and Feraligatr in it's hands and put them down outside in front of him.
From what they saw, the dragon could have covered the entire TLF building which was at least 500 feet wide, his wingspan looked twice as large.
Gatr: What do you mean you're him?
D. Jerem: I mean, I'm Jerem from the future.
Jerem: Future?
D. Jerem: Yes, you know that thing that's after the present.
Jerem: I don't understand.
D. Jerem: Let me explain some things to you. First, I wanna tell you about what you believe is the place you came before this place.
Gatr: The world parallel of this one?
D. Jerem: Yes. You remember the elders?
Jerem: Yes.
D. Jerem: Those elders are actually advisors of Arceus.
Jerem: Excuse me?
D. Jerem: They were sent by Arceus to watch over you.
Gatr: I don't...
D. Jerem: No time to explain. Next, what you believe is your timeline in history is wrong. What you think is that it went 3,000 years ago, parallel world, now. That is wrong. It went parallel world, 3,000 years ago, now. When you woke up in Twinleaf with Feraligatr? That was old town from your Arceus encounter.
Jerem: ...
D. Jerem: Now, that brings things to me. As I said before, I come from the future. I am you. I am Feraligatr. I am the meld of you two. When I was in your position, I had a dragon me come here like I've done. I'm here to guide you. If you want to live you must become me.
Jerem: You're going a little too fast for me...
D. Jerem: I remember saying the same thing. Look, if you want to live, then you must become one with Feraligatr.
Jerem: How?
The dragon remained quite for a minute.
Finally he spoke up
D. Jerem: He must eat you,
Gatr: HUH?
D. Jerem: This was your destiny all along, to become one. To do that, Feraligatr must eat you Jerem, and you will become part of him. When you do, you will transform into me, a dragon. A cool one I might add.
Jerem looked up and saw that the dragon was mostly a dark black, with dark piercing eyes, and the same colored wings
Jerem: I admit, you are cool looking, but I don't understand why I have to.
D. Jerem: I don't have enough time to explain.
Gatr: Time?
D. Jerem: I'm the one holding time still, I can do that for only so long. When you two join, you will be granted omni power. There is more I must explain, but I can't now. You must figure that out on your own. Now, look, you must die to live Jerem, Feraligatr. Do you understand that?
Jerem: Yes.
Gatr: Yes.
D. Jerem: Ok, Jerem, get into Feraligatr's mouth. Feraligatr, you must eat him.
Gatr: I don't know if I can.
Jerem: Same.
D. Jerem: I felt the same thing. It will be hard to let go. Jerem, I know you're gonna try and hold onto Feraligatr's tongue as he tried to swallow you. But you MUST let go. You must die...
Jerem: ...To live. Ok ok, I'll try.
Feraligatr took Jerem up in his mouth.
Jerem, with the top half of his body sticking out, hugged Feraligatr's snout and said goodbye.
Jerem then went fully inside Feraligatr's mouth. He looked a Feraligatr's throat. He strangely felt relaxed. Feraligatr's gentle breath and small movements removed Jerem's nervousness.
However, it was not enough when Feraligatr tipped his head back, and Jerem quickly grabbed onto his tongue.
Jerem: I can't let go.
D. Jerem: You must Jerem, you must.
Jerem: I CAN'T! I CAN'T FACE DEATH!
D. Jerem: I said the same thing. Jerem, think about Feraligatr. Think about him opening his giant jaws. Imagine someone walking into them. Now watch as that person is being slobbered by Feraligatr's tongue to get this person's full taste. Now this person tries to hold on, but cannot. As Feraligatr begans to swallow this person, they free up. They're muscles go free and their body relaxed as they go down Feraligatr's throat. And right before this person hit's Feraligatr's stomach, a faint goodybye is heard.
[i]As the dragon is saying all this, Jerem thinks and imagines this person is him. As Jerem is going down Feraligatr's throat, he can hear a goodbye...
The end
*roll credits*
*after the credits*
Narrarator: So many unanswered questions. What happens to Jerem and Feraligatr? What happens to TLF? Who is this dragon really? Why did Jerem have to fuse with Feraligatr? why did Arceus leave the elders? And who is IggyBot the killer of Arceus?
Stay tuned for the next adventure of Jerem and Feraligatr.
