Arceus

Arceus is a powerful, deific Pokemon, often associated with God or a kind of god-equivalent in the Pokemon franchise.

In the story of Arceus's Wish, he is jointly responsible with Jirachi for having summoned Kyle to the Pokemon world after The Entity attacked.

## Appearance

Arceus holds no striking differences or features from the depicted Arceus' in other official Pokémon media; he has a large quadrupedal form, similar to that of a horse, with several defining features. Arceus's main color scheme consists of a yellow shade similar to that of gold, white, black, accents of green and striking red eyes. The Pokémon notably has a large protrusion from his back on both sides of his body, two on each side, splitting off in a straight diagonal lines before being connected in an arch from top to bottom, creating an almost trapezium-like hole in the center. At the center of the intersections between the arch and each individual protrusion is an emerald colored gem. Arceus also has a strange 'tail', having a wavy shape identical to the 'tail' attached to its head, having a black color scheme on the underside.

At the end of each leg, and at the center of his forehead, Arceus has golden-plated accents. At the head of his forelegs sits a black underside, which travels up the front of Arceus's body before coming to a stop at the beginning of the neck, which has a smaller white part of the body sticking out. On either side of it's long neck is two small protrusions, similar to that on the front of the neck, both white in color. Arceus's face consists of a black colored portion, which holds his two eyes - the eyes have red pupils with a green sclera, both having a smaller green pattern diagonally below the eye. Arceus also has two large pointy ears sticking out from the top of its head. Finally, at the back of its head is a flowing 'tail', it too having a black underside similar to that of Arceus real tail.

## Personality

Arceus has a serious and calm demeanor, trying to take the most effective path to any solution provided to him, specifically when summoning Kyle with Jirachi.

## Relationships

### Jirachi

Arceus's and Jirachi's friendship is first established within the Prologue of Chapter 1: Kyle, but not much more is known. They, at least, have formed an alliance to stop or attempt to thwart The Entity.

### The Entity

Arceus wants to stop The Entity at all costs, seemingly have succumbing to its power within the Prologue. It's to be expected they have a history of sorts, though its currently unclear what that may be.

### Kyle

Arceus first establishes communication with Kyle after the Prologue, not making much of a connection, however within the second chapter he communicates directly to Kyle within The Void, acting as a sort of guardian to him for the remaining time he had.

## Abilities

Although the abilities of Arceus in Arceus's Wish is unclear, due to his powers presumably being taken by The Entity, it's safe to assume he had the powers that Arceus has canonically established to possess.

## Biography

Not much is known about what occurred before the Prologue of Chapter 1: Kyle, but Arceus allowed The Entity entry to an ancient temple, perhaps similar to that of the Hall Of Origin, where Arceus resides in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

After being almost being overwhelmed by The Entity, Arceus asks Jirachi to grant a wish. Although the specifics are unknown, it can be assumed it was to summon Kyle from the human world. After the wish is granted, Arceus is overtaken by The Entity. Whilst Kyle is transitioning to the Pokémon world, and Mysmor Islands, Arceus speaks to him and informs him he is "certain he will pull through whatever he sends your way." 'He' is assumed to be The Entity.

Lastly, Arceus once again confronts Kyle within The Void, speaking to him about why he was brought there and his fall against The Entity. But despite Kyle's pleas, he doesn't inform him any further.
